A BREEDER SAYS OF THE IVORY SOAP
An Ostrich Legend.

The Arabs have a curious legend to
account for the Ostrich's residence in
the desert. On a certain appointed
day, so it is said, all crested beings
met together to decide upon their re-
spective order and precedence. All
went we'll until the ostrich, pleading
its inability to fly, disowned the birds
and claimed to take rank with the
mammals. These, however, would
have nothing to say to n creature
clothed, not with furs, but with feath-
ers; while the birds, when it went de-
jectedly back, repudiated it also
as a traitor to its race. The ostrich,
however, was equal to the occasion
and declared that, being neither NAM
NAL nor bird it must be an angel;
whereupon all the other animals in
dignantly rushed upon it and drove ii
before them to the desert, where it has
lived in solitude ever since.

REQUEST FROM DEWEY.

Admiral Wants More Sailors and More
Light Vessels.
The department heard from Admiral
Dewey Wednesday in explanation of a
dispatch received from him Tuesday
asking for more ships and more men.
He reiterates his request for more
ships and says by more men he means
more sailors.
At the department it was said that
it would be very necessary to patrol
the island more completely to prevent
arms from reaching the insurgents.
General Corbin said that the force
Of men on the island, he thought,
would be sufficient to put down the
rebellion provided all surreptitious
aid could be kept from them.

The death of Caprivi removes from
the public life of Europea man whose
chief distinction was that he succeeded
Bismarck as chancellor when Wilhelm
assembled the throne of empire. Yet
Caprivi deserves honor for long life
of hard work and high achievement in
both military and naval lines, as we'll
as in craftsmanship. A brilliant gen
.eral in war and a methodical worker in
the barracks of peace, he proved
himself as equal to the task of reor-
ganizing the German navy as to the
command Of an army corps. Had he
not been overshadowed by the tower
ing figure of his predecessor as chan
cellor, and had he not failed to main
tain the harmony of relations essen
tial to his continuance in Office, the
name of Caprivi would command q
more eminent place in the diplomatic
history Of the century.

They Indorse the Proposed Constitutional
Convention After = Hard Fight.

Convention After = Hard Fight
A special Wednesday from Washing. |
ton states that the democrats of Ala !
bama have, through their state con
vention, indorsed the proposed consti- |
tutional convention and have by so do |
ing made it a party measure. This
was done rfter long and bitter Sight,
and the margin was so narrow that,
in the opinion Of many leading politi-
cal observers, the doubt as to the final
result is greater than ever.
The position Of the democratic
party of the state with regard TO the
constitutional convention is set forth
in the following resolutions, which the
convention adopted:
/. That we favor the holding OF a
constitutional convention for the pur-
pose of so regulating the right to vote
as TO perpetuate the rule Of the white
man in Alabama.
9. That the constitutional conven-
ton shall regulate all questions Of
suffrage so as not tc conflict with the
constitution Of the United States and
for the best interests of the people and
taxpayers Of Alabama.
3. That there shall be inserted in
such constitution a provision limiting
the rate of taxation by the state, coun-
ties and municipalities, and that such
rate Of taxation shall not exceed the
rate now fixed by the present consti-
tuition, but lower rate if practicable.
4. That the proposed new constitu
ton shall be submitted to a vote of
the people for its adoption or reiec-
| ton.
5. That we pledge our faith to the
people of Alabama not to deprive any
white man of the right to vote except
for conviction of infamous crime.
g. That section 80 of article 4 of the
present constitution in reference to
the removal and location of the state
capitol shall remain unchanged.
7. That the provisions and restric-
tons in the present constitution as to
corporations shall remain unchanged.
8. That we hereby instruct all dem
OCIhUlC ubLuDGIb VI Jnb COubbitutlOndl
convention to carry out the above
pledges.
The resolution was put through, I'M
der the previous question call, by q
vote of 254 to 244.
At times during the discussion the
convention hall was pandemonium and
there were some sharp clashes which
suggested the probability of personal
encounters, but in the end all was
peaceful.
Strong efforts were made to recon
slider the resolution later, but the con
vention refused. It also adopted (
resolution setting forth, "Tbat it il
the sense of the convention that
constitutional convention be>Aeld."
After this was done, the convention
: selected the thirty-tbree delegates a
large to the constitutional convention
This was simply the ratification of tn
work that had already been done il

If German scientist is to be be-
iieyad, everything needed to make
man weigh $50 pounds can be found
in the whites and yolks Of 1900 hens
eggs. Reduced to a fluid, declares
the sayant, "the average man would
yield 90 cubic metres Of illuminating
gas and hydrogen, enough to fill a
balloon capable of lifting l55 pounds.
The normal human body has in it the
iron needed to make seven large nails,
the fat for fourteen pounds of candles,
the carbon for 65 gross of crayons aud
phosphorus enough for eight hundred

Koyama is a member of the Japa-
nese Diet. That body had been con-
sidering a land tax bill which the gov
eminent was determined should be-
come law. When the roll was
called Koyama announced that certain
agents of the government had paid him
$4,000 to vote for the tax bill, and then
sedately proceeded to vote against the
measure. In his artless Japanese
fashion, Koyama further rebuked his
would-be corrupters by pocketing the
money. While this is exceedingly in
teresting evidence going to show that
the dawn of civilization in Japan has
become a sunburst, it is disappointing.
Koyama is evidently young. He
must learn that the first requisite of a
successful politician is to stay bought
and say nothing about it.

A Washington dispatch says: At
the cabinet meeting Wednesday, which
lasted until l o'clock, a variety of sub

which have arisen during the two
weeks of the presidents absence in

The question of raising an Nddi.

meeting, and it is not thought that the
president has any, such purpose in
view at this time.

Insects Lace Viewers.

Have you seen any of the world-fa-
nous Fayal lace, from the Azores or
western islands? This gauzy stuff is
manufactured by women, there being
only twenty-five with the necessary
skill on the islands. The wonderfully
delicate lace Is made from fibres In the
leaves Of the bitter alO, a near relation
of the common century plant. So diff
ficult has it been to discover perS lS
skillful enough to make the lace that
manufacturers have experimental
with silk producing insects to utilize
their instructive gift of spinning so
successful have some of these expert
ments been that a Munich man has
found a way by which caterpillars
have been directed to make the lace.
He mixes a paste composed of the
bitter aloe leaves, which the insect is
fond of. After spreading this paste
thlnly on n fiat stone he carefully
marks with a camels hair brUsh
dipped in olive oil the pattern Which
he wishes left open. The stone Is then
placed in an inclined position, and sew
eral hungry caterpillars are placed at
the bottom. Instantly they begin eat
ing the paste and spinning out their
silk as they progress toward the top.
Finally the caterpillars have eaten all
the paste but that covered by the dis
tasteful oil, and in its place they nave
left a delicate web of silk in a pretty
lace pattern. Minneapolis Journal,

Tt is little over a year since Phila-
delphia transferred to the United Gas
Improvement company, under a 30
years lease, the franchise of the gas
company, and reports recently made
mark sharply the difference between
political control and business manage
ment. The city now has revenue OK
10 per cent. on an increased quantity
of gas sold at 81 per thousand, where
as it was formerly unable to make
both ends meet at higher rate. Con.
sumers are supplied with better gas,
and the WORKOUT gas mains have been
replaced with new ones, to the COM
tort of citizens whose noses had
been assailed with the odor Of escap-
ing gas. In this work of betterment
S3,112, 500 has been expended within
the year, although the lease only re-
ouires the expenditure OF IS, 900
in this way during the first three years,
and of $40, OOO,O thereafter All these
improvements, it should be noted
will ultimately revert to the benefit O
the city, as at the end of the 30 years
the gas-works must be returned to the
city without the expenditure of dol
lar of public money on the improve
ments made or to be made.
