Two Fnds of Joseph Chamberlain.

Long before the Transvaal trouble the
Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, present
Minister of State for the British Colonies,
was famous the world over for two things,
his orchids and his monocle, says the
Philadelphia Post. His costly collection
of orchids is one of the finest in the world.
1t is said that once in Paris he saw a
rare orchid, the duplicate of one he had
recently added to his own collection. He
asked the price. Twenty thousand
francs" replied the dealer.
The Englishman paid the money, and
then, throwing the flower on the floor,
crushed it with his heel. However reliable
this incident may be, the following is
vouched for: Since boyhood Mr. Cham
berlain has worn monocle. When the
young man first entered Parliament his
fame as municipal reformer had pre-
coded him. Among the visitors who were
present on that occasion were Lords Bea-
consield and Carnarvon. The eommoner
had won his election to the House by his
vigorous opposition 20 the great Conserva-
lives methods. As he came into the
chamber Lord Carnaryon leaned forward
and said:
Here comes young Chamberlain"
ABR replied Beaconsield, as he took
in the young man from tip to toe.
What do you think of him?"
He wears his monocle like a gentle
man." replied the premier

Good Company for the Dog.

In the north of England. where rabbit
coursing is much in vogue. swift, well
trained dogs often win large sums in
prizes. says the Argonaut. 1t is there
fore little to be wondered at that the own
ers Of those animals should bestow 50
much attention upon them. An old Yo k
shire collier, well-known for his success
in the field, recently surprised all his
mates by marrying a very unprepossess-
ing woman. He had always been reckon
ed a confirmed hater of the other sex.
'Why has Ia gone and got spill ed lad,
at thy age?' one of his friends asked him
"Oh, that's not much of tale" answer
cd the old man, stolldly. II agree wi We
at Betsy yonder is no beauty-if she had
been 1 shouldn't have wed her. But Their
dog o. mine, he was simply pinin' for
somebody to look after him while 1 wss
away at t. pit. l couldn't bear to leave
him in the house by hissen. so | hit on the
idea of marryin' Betsy. She's not hand
some, but she's mighty good company for
the dog!'

omce chnirr for Bores.

THE time of almost every man in ac-
tive life is terribly taxed by useless Wis
TORS" said a busy New Orleans shipper
to the Times Democrat. u mean people
who come on foolish errands, tedious
friends who drop in TO chat and don t
know when to go, and the small army of
agents, canvassers, solicitors and the ike,
who in the aggregate consume many pre-
cious hours every day l have a scheme
for disposing of such bores that works
to a charm
The whole secret lies in that chair be-
side my roll-top desk. 1t is very Innocent
looking, as you will observe, but it has
some marked peculiarities. To begin with,
it is firmly attached 10 the floor and is
50 placed that whoever sits in it faces a
flood of light while l myself am in the
shadow. Then, again, the back is very
straight and very narrow; it has no arms,
and the seat pitches slightly forward, the
front being half an inch lower than the
rear.
1T is utterly impossible for any bore to
sit in that chair four consecutive min
utes With female book agents It is Pc
culiarly efficaciOus, for the simple reason
that such callers are generally 30 or over,
and no woman of that age can sit quiet
in the glaring daylight under the calm
scrutiny of a man in the shadow. The
coolest of them lose their self-Dossess.on,
twist, wriggle, and soon fly the spot. Then,
again, the straight back and absence of
arm prevents the occupant from assuming
that graceful side-long attitude without
which no woman is able to converse.
with male bores II is equally deadly,
All garrulous men either tilt back when
they are talking or lean forward impress
lively with their elbows on their arms.
The two poses seem to be essential to a
flow of language. and neither of them is
possible here. When they find that the
legs are attached to the floor and search
in vain for a rest for their elbows, they
lose the thread of their story, look mis-
cradle for a moment, and then beat a re-
treat. The pitch of the seat simply adds
to the general discomfort of the machine.
One finds ones self continually sliding
off without knowing why. 1t is very dis
concerning. | wouldn't take any thing for
that chair. 1t has saved me thousands of
dollars

Amenities of the RniIroad..

When its limited express trains were put
on a few years ago, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. the Lake Shore Railway
Company decided to charge extra for the
privilege of riding on them, and John
Newell, who was president of the system
at that time, gave orders that passes,
half-rate tickets, etc, should not be hon.
ored on the flyers" 1t was not intend
ed, of course, that the complimentaries is
sued to nigh officials of other roads should
be void on the fast trains, but through
an oversight a yearly pass was sent to d.
w. Caldwell, president of the Nickel Plate,
which bore on its face the words:
Not good en- Lake Shore limited
trains"
A few days after Mr. Caldwelrs pass
had been issued Mr.. Newell received an
annual pass on the Nickel Plate, with the
following Endorsement:
Not good on passenger trains"
Messrs. Newell and Caldwell remained
consistent enemies until the former died
and was succeeded by the latter as presi-
dent of the Lake Shore

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) SAYS:
THE movement set on foot in Richmond
Va, TO test in the United States Supreme
Court the constitutonality of the federal
law taxing the circulating notes of state
banks, should 1t result in denial of the
legality of the tax, would have a very i'm
portant bearing on the question of cur
rency reform. The issue would be prac-
| tically taken out of the hands of Con-
gress by such a decision. 1t would prac-
ticany take the government out of the
banking business and operate as a great
check on the tendency 10 Capitalization"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican dnd.)
says; "one by one the dramatis personae
in the Dreyfus affair are dying, and it
may be that the victim of the conspiracy
shall survive all his accusers. 1t is re-
called that after the Parnell triaf there
was similar mortality among those con-
cerned, and the cause surmised was that
overexcitement affected the nervous sys-
TEN and the heart especially"
The Nashville American (Deua.) says:
I'VE are ready to accord Mr.. Reed credit
for the work he did in revolutionizing the
rules OF the House, but like all revolu-
tiouists-for he was a revolutionists and
moi reformer-he went too far. Some of
the power now lodged in the Speaker
should be taken from him and judiciously
disseminated through The committees and
the House."
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep)
says Like the late Vice President Ho-
bart. another millionaire who has just died
in New Jersey, John I. Blair, began life as
penniless boy and worked In a country
store. II Emma Goldman. the anarchist
wants to suppress such men she ought
to invent some plan TO keep down the
poor boys OF America"

Diplomacy of an Editor.

Editors of newspapers are often in jeop-
ardy of their lives, and only by GOODNESS
and discretion do they escape from the
harm which might otherwise come to them
from cranks, says the Philadelphia Call
The editor of certain newspaper in q
New Jersey town was approached by a
well-known general whose death had been
published in the paper several days be-
fore.
Il want that statement taken back, sir
cried the General, 'or I'll have your lfe'
The editor looked frightened, but retain
ing his presence of mind answered: Il
am very sorry, my dear sir, but we do not
take back anything we have published,
nor can we contradict mistakes, but" with
a broad smile, tomorrow Wen publish
your name in the column of births " The
humor of the remark struck the General
and his anger was appeased.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-The Octo-
rooms.
The Octoroons gave their initial per-
Torrance at the Grand last night to
a large audience, despite the bad
weather. The company is a very capa-
bic one, and merits large audiences.
The ,specialties that are introduced
during the course of the b~urlesque are
all of a high order. One of the fea-
lures is a handsome march that brings
out the full strength Of the company,
and serves to show off some particular
~ natty soldier costumes, and another
feature is the watermelon ballet, which
is pretty beyond description, and the
performance ends in a whirl of pretty
color effects and good singing. The
Octoroons have been playing TO S. R.
0. this season, and no doubt they will
repeat their we'll deserved triumph
here. Smart and Williams, Bostus and
Banks, Reese Brothers and Douglass,
the Brittons, Stella Wiley, Miss Henry,
Welles sisters. Misses Brown. Patter-
son, Evans, st. Clair, Ellsworth, Con-
nors and many others. the cast is
stronger than ever and is bound to
please the most cauStic audience, as
well as TO surprise some critics and
others.
