THE CUSTOM OF KISSING COURT
 BIBLES.

Magistrate Pool of the Morrisania court of New York has turned the Bible cut of his court. He is quoted as say ing; T won't swear any one on the Bible, or tell them to kiss it. There Is no law to compel any one to do so. In court all manner. of persons kiss the Bible, which in such places becomes a breeder of disease" So hereafter he will swear folks in his court by having them hold Cp their hands.
 Court Bibles cannot be nice kissing, and police court Bible after a days work must be a thing to- be handled with tongs. There may be, and prob- ably are, persons who feel that they can speak more truthfully after kissing the Pook, and perhaps for them Bible ought to be available. But the habit ual kissing of Bibles in court is . dreary and unsanitary performance just Gs soon as civilization in that To- cality reaches q point where it can be spared. Oaths made by placing the hand on the Bible, or by holding up the hand, or by whatever form most inf1u- ences the witness's mind are just as effective and just as binding as those in which the Bible is kissed. In spite of the higher criticism, the Bible means a great deal to the average man, and perhaps its presence in courts is useful, but the formal kissing of it by wit nesseS is a fit custom to abolish. .-E. $.

the timidity gone from the big-eyed 1 deer, no venom in the wildcats purr, and honesty shining in the gray coy ote's face. The rabbits sat on their
 launches, as meek as the pets of chil- dTen. But the poor coyote was in pain, and as the farmer came close the erstwnile rCbber of the roCst dragged his helpless hinduIarters toward the man in mute supphcation. The legs of the animal had been frightfully burned.
 The rancher was in no mood to make friends of such strange creatures, and at once drove his stock through the smouldering brush, the deer going along with the cattle, the rabbits hop ping along at the rancher's heels, the wildcats sl0uclling along behind, and the coyote, unable to follow, whining a pathetic appeal for succor. When the burning field was passed the deer broke into run for the distant hills, the rabbits were away like a flash, and the old defiance and snarling leer came back to the wildcats. who scorned to make a show of haste They walked slc'Tly out of sight-San Diego Union

INDIAN GAME OF GOLF.

Arrangements have just been com pleted with a band Of forty Creek In dians to go to Paris in 1900 and give the visitors there an exhibition of the tOh game, which is the most exciting and rude game among the Indian tribes. The Indians are now engaged il, practice on their reservation ne1r EUfaula and reports from there say that number have been fatally wounded while going through the game.
 Only about twenty Indians are re- quired to play the game, but the red skins are going to take along enough extra players to complete the series Of fifty games fOr which they have been engaged. The game is similar to golf, excepting that it is much ruder. The Indians are divided on sides, and the scramble commences when the leader throws a wooden ball into the air and the players start after it with their sticks, on the end of which there is a little basket. They are supposed to catch this ball with their sticks before it reaches the ground and carry it about three hundred yards to the goal: then, with one mighty throw, land it over a high pole, and the game is won. This trick is not So easily accom- pliShed, when the facts are brought to mind that twenty other Indians, with heavy clubs, are pursuing him and at tempting to beat him to earth. which is OfteGer done than he escapes. The Swiftes5 runners are chosen for this game, so that when they once get the ball it can be carried to the goal and the game won.--Chicag Inter-Ocean.

THE PENNSYLVANIA FIGHT.

Legislative business in Pennsylvania
 is at a standstill while the Quay and
 anti-Quay forces remain deadlocked ir
 ballot or stay away from the assembly
 in order to prevent the choice of a sen
 atOr. The politicians wrangle while
 public affairs are neglected, and though
 absolutely nothing is being done the quarreling legislators step up regularly
 to draw the public money which they are not earning. Harrisburg is full of hungry detectives attracted by the big sums offered for any one who may be detected in attempts at bribery. First MT. Quay put Ep an ante of $1O,OOO. Brother Wanamaker said this was merely a bluff and raised MT. Quay $20,00O- This made a comfortable jack pot of $30,000, when the Business Mems league Of Philadelphia took . second look at their hand, and not only concluded to stay in but shove over the bargain counter" pile an addi- tional $25, 900. From this distance it l looks as if all these offers were bluffs and it does not appear that the great state of Pennsylvania will do itself much credit whichever turn affairs may take It is not apparent that those who are leading the fight against Quay are prompted solely by desire to relieve the state of odium, for too many of chem aspire to the hionors he now wears, and none of them is credit ed with a record which makes Quay's displacement foi. his incumbency very desirable. There can be no doubt that among all the members of the Penn sylvania legislature there is a majority W laich would favor the election of an independent republican of recognized high standing as senator, yet the lead CTS are keeping them in one band CT the other by means of influences good and bad to prolong a disgraceful fight, with the hope that Quay's mantle will fall on one of them eventually. It would be a good thing if the high minded men of all factions and both parties should get together, brush the machines out of the way, and choose senator not identified with any of the cliques.
 A conservative estimate places the cost of the senatorial deadlock at liar risburg to the principals alone for hotel rent and red fire at more than $1,000 a day, not to mention the thousand and one extras which contribute to the excitement of politics. The cost to the state has not been estimated but it is notCriously heavy. It is a big price to Iay fer making a great and dignifed | office the foot ball of a lot of ambitious politicians.

MIDGET WILLOW TREE.
Inch and a Half Tall and Was Fount
 On a Western Mountain.

The New York Botanical garden will publish shortly the results of a recent expedition sent out under it's auspices to explore the flora Of Yellowstone park and the surrounding region. The party of bOtanists was under the i'm mediate supervision of Dr. P. A. Ryd- berg, and it's expenses were paid by William B. Dodge. After a search of three months it brought back to New York 15,00O specimens. Most of the SC were species of flowers. shrubs. trees and seeds already well known and classified by scientists
 But there was one species found hitherto unknown to botany. This was the smallest willow tree extant any where in the world. It is only an inch and half high and was found by Dr. Rydberg on the summit of the Bridger mountains in Montana.
 This species,'' said Prof. N. l.. Brit ton, of Columbia university and direc- tor in chief of the New York bOtani- cal garden, "is entirely new to us. It is the very smallest willow tree to be found anywhere, and flourishes to some extent on the Bridger mountains It's pigmy height is due to the extreme exposure of the mountain top We cannot plant it here, as the weather conditions would quickly kill it off, but number of preserved specimens will be exhibited in the Botanical museum in the Bronx, when that building is completed next summer" " New York Sun.

FThe newspaper world will await with eagcrness and prayers for a successful outcome of the operation which must be performed to save, or at least pro long, the life of Edward Marshall, the newspaper correspondent who was wounded at the charge of the Rough Riders at Guasimas, and one of whose legs will now have to be amputated at the hip joint He has never been able to walk since he was shot In spite of all his sufferings and the gloomy out look before him he maintains the cheerful demeanor that has never left him since the night when, racked with pain from his wound, he dictated to d companion the story of the remarkable fight for his paper. Those who have read the modest narrative of Marshall detailing the scenes of that fight and his participation, leading as he did the American soldiers in the charge which laid him low, will hope that this hero of the war may be spared. No single act ever brought greater Honor to the fourth estate" than Marshall's s dash at the head of the line at Guasimas.

Men who are tempted to venture into Wall street just now by the alluring news of fortunes made in a day need to exercise level head in their steps from new on. Even the optimistic Henry Clews, the nature of whose business impels him to bull the market when ever possible, declares the time has come when conservatism is in order He says the prices of the higher grade stocks have reached an unprecedented elevation; and even if the improved finances and prospects of the roads have warranted a considerable rise, it is to be remembered that the public have not yet become accustomed to this extreme advance and are not pre- pared to regard the new quotations as permanent. That the reaction has come in in earnest is shown by the slump in Standard Oil securities by which it is said tha. John D. Rockefel- Ter has lost S10,000000 in the past week, three million more than he made in a single day recently in the bullish excitement of the market. MT. Rockefeller can stand his loss, but the smaller investors who get caught in the squeeze which will ccne when the bears get down to work in earnest will supply mournful object lesson of the dangers that beset the dabblers in Wall street.

PERIL MADE THEM COMPANIONS
Tie Wild Beasts Herded Together to
 Escape a Forest Fire

An incident of the forest fires in the hills of the Descanso neighborhoCd in southern California flu stra5ss the com radeship that common peril brings about among beasts as well as among men. After the flames had completed their work of destruction and spread a pail over the hills, a rancher went forth among the charred stumps and smoking brush heaps to look for a num- Der of cattle and colts which he feared had been hemmed in by the fire. He went across gully and ridge in his soa. ch, until at last he saw his stock some little distance ahead. He was more than ast1nished upon coming up to the group tc find not only his cattle and colts, but a deer three wildcats, a coyote and several rabbits, all alive and apparently in no fear of him. They watched his approach with indifference,

An Odd Church

One of the queerest places Of
worship in the world Is the
church Of ST. Ursula, Ia Cologne.
1t is erected in memory Of a
Christian maiden, Ursula, who,
with II 900 companions, is said to
have been tortured to death by
the Huns, 451 A. d. 1t hardly
seems probable that either 900
maidens, or one-hundredth part
of that number, could have been
found IN Cologne in the fifth CEN
fury. Ii you venture to hint this
to the guide who is showing you
the gruesome mysteries Of the
church, however, he will look at
you contemptuously, and, waving
his hand scornfully around the
interior of the edlfice, will ask
where all these bones came from,
then.
And you feel inclined to ask the
question yourself. The church is
large, and the walls are of inn
mense height. Yet every square
inch of the surface is ornamentcd
with bones, fastened to the walls
opening, and, upon looking into
it, you find that the hollow walls
are filled with bones. Ii these
bones all belong to the martyred
companions Of st. Ursula they
must have numbered nearer L.
100000 than 1000. In the
"Golden Room" so called be-
cause it is quite richly adorned
