ho9 'Gst The fame OF the orator
fades! low little does one gener-
q Or often know or care about
ahe @1ors who have swayed the
getstramon MAJ preceded il, W no
nave aIrnose been it's idols.
George Canning was probably
the greatest English orator Of
this century. Possibly no other
statesman ever had more bril-
liant triumphs than he achieved
in parliament by his wonderful
power of speech.
And yet who discusses Canning
now?
According to many reliable &C.
counts Rufus Choate was the
greatest of American orators,
even when both Webster and
Clay were at the zenith Of their
fame, but Choate occupies d
small place in the mind OF the
present generation.
M. John Ernest Mccain finds
in his study of Choate that ho
posi- ssed a far richer vocabulary
than aay other American orator.
La fact, MI. Mccain says that We
must lock 10 Shakespeare to find
one who had Command Of more
words than RUFUS Cnoate. Shake
speare USES $4,000 different
words and Choate IL. 633, The
average man uses during his whole
life much less than 1000.
Many Of Choate's sentences are
very lorg but they r invariably
go cleac that The simplest reader
can undes stand them. They must
have bees nor perspicuous tC
those VINO heard tnem spoken by
a voice Of unriqa'led sweetness
and illustrated by the action of &
well nis b perfect orator. Wonder
ful stories are rel4!el of the powe
er of Caoste's o1atory IN the
platform and the hustings and be-
foe j%uries.
Joshua Van Colt, who hearG
Choate deliver his Grafton "The
Age of the Pilgrims the Heroic
Period Of Our History" declares
that Daniel Webster, who sat ur
the platform, broke down an(
cried Ike a child.
Others have stated that almos
the entire audience was moved tt
tears.
Few men have lived who belc
such msste'y over thu feelings o
Others and yet the greatest o:
Choate's orations aie now rarely
read, though some Of them ar
not fifty years old.
It is fortunate for the orato
that cotemporaneous applause Ii
lavisned upon him, Tor he is, as
rule soon forgotten.

 The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have ,a,| to the preparation of tables shoWjnJ the full term of life'' for man, apI other mammals, based upon the thser1 that there is fixed ratio between tha period required to reach maturity and the total length of life. Accident, dis. ease and so forth, have to be eliminat ed from the calculation. According t1 these tables, only one animal exceed, man in it's full life term, namely, tn elephant. For man the theory make the average term about 90 years, ant for the elephant something over 10 years. Next to man. in Longevity come the camel and the Arabian horse whose term of life is about 42 years.

Hen and Terrier.

A. W Giehm of Sioux City, Iowa, re- gently purchased sitting of eggs and placed them under an old hen in his hen-house. In the same hen-house lives terrier. A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup pies, and they were placed in box in the corner. To the astonishment of the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge Of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out great fight. The mother of the pups IS on friendly relations with the hen, 1t would seem, for she lies on the hoor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother. In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled.

CONVICT ISLAND.
Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have a Chance for Reform.


 Have Chance for Reform.
 Since 1858 the Andamans, a group of thickly wooded islands toward the east side of the Bay of Bengal, have been used by the Indian government as a penal settlement for life conviets. There are about 12,o00 convicts in the settlement at Port Blair, which is conducted as practical reformatory for the reform Of the criminals. Every convict knows that his treatment de- pends (after a certain preliminary pe- riod of severe discipline) entirely on himself. He also knows that good be- havior will of itself commute the life sentence to one of twenty years. i large number of the conviets are men respited from death sentences. The newly arrived convict. is placed in the cellular gaoI, where he is solitary alike in his cell and during his daily walk around the ring for exercise. At the end of six months he is transferred for a year and half to an associated gao1. where he labors in gang during the Qdg dI4Q GlCCpo HI el RetA ctC S0OASAC che night. For tbe next three years he is locked up in barracks at night with prisoners of the same class and kept hard at work all day. After this pes riod the severity is eased down, the tasks are not so irksone and his ca- pacity is studied in the employment given to him and he begins to earn small allowance, which he can either spend on little luxuries or put into the savings bank. At the end of ten years he is eligible for ticket of leave. with liberty to earn his living within ths Island settlement in his own way. He can live in his own house, farm little land and move about within consid.- erable area unwatched He can send for wife and children or, if bache- Tor. marry convict woman. At the end of twenty years, if of good be- havior, he obtains an absolute release. with free conveyance to India to make a fresh start as a free man.

He said he was in favor of sending, good, sound and practical business men to the Capital to make our laws, but did not consider him. self in that class and for that reason and owing to his business, to which he devotes most of his time, he will not enter the race.

pog.s Battle with a Caotns.

Otto Kleemann, who lives on Bel mont street, recently acquired a beau tiful cactus, which he established in his household, unmindful of the fact that his dog held the opinion that his master should have no other pets be- fore him. Now he has no cactus and the dejected semblance of dog. The Iitsle animal espied the plant soon after it's arrival, and issued challenge. Tn default of acceptance, he gave battle, but retired at the first shock to recon sider The enemy had more teeth thar a battalion of bull terriers, and all of them we1e newly sharpened. He was no quitter, however, and with rising an- ger he renewed the attack. This time his opponent came down. landing on him heavily. and with the touch of a barb-wire fence. The two rolled over and over in death embrace, and the cactus was finally vapquished, torn in- to shreds and scattered about the room. But it was costly victory. The con- queror is punctured in more places than his owner can count. He may live to fight another day, but it will not be with cactus.-Oregonian.
