than an assumption that the dread OF

any good reason for being. Mr. Bryan
thinks the election was not necessarily
conclusive on any question. He will
probably find that the great majority OF
his party will regard 10 so as to the question
of his candidacy in the future. They win
not insist on any evidence more conclusive

The Hon. Joseph Chamberlain Is like
ly to have an unpleasant time answering
questions when the Commons meet. At
the last session he declared with much
solsmnity that he was interested neither
directly nor indirectly in any company
that had contracts with the government
Yet it has just been shown that his wife
and many of his relatives own large
blocks OF stock in 3 company that is
loaded with government contracts. Fur
thsrmore he is Interested In Ceyion
lana company, and it is being noted as
a singular coincidence that prisoners
of war are sent to Ceylon, Mr.. Cham ber-
lain explains that when he made his
staten emit in the Commons he was not
aware that the company in which his
wife owned stock had any government
contracts. This may be true, but his
opponents In the House are sure to take
the earliest opportunity to cross-examine
him sharply ON this point.

Senator Frye has little expectation that
the ship subsidy bill will pass at the
coming session. Those who believe In
free ships will fight 1t at every step and
also the great corporations controlling
the trans Atlantic steamship business,
and he thinks they will be able to pre-
vent its coming to vote. He believes,
however that majority of both houses
favor the bill and at some other session
of Congress he expects to see it become q
law. MIR. Frye thinks that great deal
of the present revival of ship building
In American yards is due to the belief
that eventually the hill Will pass.

HOW ANIMALS SLEEP.

DIR. Louis Robinson tells us how vari-
GUS animals sleep. "The chimpanzee, as
far as have been able to ascertain" says
the writer, never sleeps upon Its back,
ITS favorite position being on It's side,
with one arm under its head. In this
respect it resembles children OF from four
to ten years OF age. The only gorilla
which have had an opportunity OF OBJ
serving also apparently prefsrred this at
titude, but occasionally seemed to sleep
comfortably in orouohing position, with
its head bowed down between Its knees
This latter attitude appears to be the one
adopted by nearly all the lower monkeys.

In an article in the North American
Review, Mr.. Bryan gives what he be-
lieves to have been the reasons OF Repub-
hcan success In the recent election.
Superior ettiaiency of the Republican
campaign due to the possession OF much
more money than the Democrats could
command helped some, MIR. Bryan thinks,
but the controlling reason was the fear
that his election would operate to check
the present prosperity. Probably MIR.
Bryan is not much ont Of the way In this
view. Where he makes his mistake is in
assuming that this fear was unfounded,
that 1t was sort OF DOGGY that had nc
substantial basis. The truth Is that the
fear was as well founded as 1t was real.
Mr.. Bryan and his party were pledged to
destroy our existing currency sys-
tenn, and lead the country into I'M
known and untrisd paths. The broad
aud open road which this and other
countries had travelled for years, was to
be deserted for paths that led nobody
knew whittier. Even under leader In
whose judgment and discretion the coun-
try had confidence alarm might well arise
at such proposed departure. But when
it was to be undertaken under o leader
whom the country had been taught by
his own walk and conversation to regard
as an enthusiast and visionary sohemer
something approaching a panic was nat
ural and perfectly justttable. 1t was not
the unreasoning element of the eonmu-
nifty that dreaded the effect Of Mr. Bryan's
election, noe the element whose fears
are most easily aroused, but the calm,
thoughtful element. The men best
qualified to Judge of the effect ofssa radical
change in our currency system were the
men who most feared Mr.. Bryan's

THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
UniQue Method of n French Chef whs

Salad.

At one of his famous little dinners prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and undeterminable. This was SO
faint that one guest declared: TITS not q
taste at all; only a SMELL"
At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked
MY man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular AT any rate, well see."

compliments.
