ENGLISH GRUNTING HABIT

From the London Telegraph.
 An observant philosopher, who has late ly been devoting considerable attention to the study of modern manners, has been much struck with the habit of grunting and pseudo coughing which is growing among both sexes and threatens to become pub lie nuisance whenever two or three men or women are gathered together. When mo- body has anything to say, some one begins an affected cough, which is merely the in- dication of a mind with nothing in 1t, or makes a glutteral grunt to prove that its author is stdll alive. The correspondent continues: 'If people do not exercise a little seaf-restraint and check this bernie ious habit we shall soon be called nation of snorters and grunters. On Sunday last was at church and immediately behind me sat woman with her young children and during the sermon, to which was hsten- ing intently, my thoughts were distracted by the woman behind me constantly grunt- ing-possibly the doctrine hit her too hard. Her children followed suit When asked on the way home why they grunted the elder of the youngsters replied Nanny grunts so do L. Recently I was travelling in a first-class railway carriage with five other men. The one in the far corner back seat set up his peculiar grunt, the man op- posite him followed, then the man next to me in the center and then the man opposite him, and they all seemed to take 1t up again in their turn and ito think, much more to read, was out of the question, and I felt inclined to jump out of the carriage, but as we were in a Southwestern, which is famous for the pace they travel, this was quite out of the question and l had to endure the persecution until the first stoppage when I left the occupants to grunit at each other to their hearts con- tantp

TWO LOVERS

Two lovers by moSs-groWn spring; They leaned soft cheeks together there, Mingled the dark and sunny hair. And heard the wooing thrushes sing.
 C-. hudding time! Oh, loves blest prime! Two welded from the portal stept; The bells made happy carolings, The air was soft as flaming wings, White petals on the pathway slept. Oh, pure-eyed bride!
 Oh, tender pride! Two faces oer a cradle bent; Two hands above the head were locked; These pressed each other while they rock,
 ed, Those watched a life that love had sent
 Oh, solemn hour!
 Oh, hidden power! Two parents by the evening fire; The red light fell about their knees On heads that rose by slow degrees Like buds upon the lily spire.
 Oh, patient lifei
 Oh, tender strife! The two still sat together there. The red light shone about their knees; But all the heads by slow degrees Had gone and left that lonely pair.
 Oh, voyage fast!
 Oh, vanished pastI The red light shone upon the floor And made the space between them wide; They drew their chairs up side by side, Their pale cheeks joined and said, "Once
 more."
 Oh, memories!
 Oh, past that is! -canrea Eliot.

He said: Tt was com posed by my father while student in Andover Theological Seminary. It was composed in half an hour late cne dark afternoon and was written on three little scraps of paper as my father stood near the window to catch tine failing light" The pieces of paper on which the song was written were produced by MT Smith and were shown the students, who took great pleasure in holding in their hands the original copy oe our national song. MT. Smith said he had been offered as much as $3 OO0 for these pieces of paper, but the offer was refused. He also stated that 1t was the intention of the family to ultim- atey give the manuscript to Harvard col iege, where the author was a member of the Famous eclass of 1899, of which Oliver Wendell Holmes was also a member

ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Mir, Sheldon's Venture.

nhe Rev Charles M. Sheldon is getting more free advertising than any newspaper man before him ever received, and probably more than any newspaper man will ever receive thereafter. This is nearly the sum and substance of his effort; for no reform can be worked out, or even ftfully Illus trated, in newspaper work in six days. MT. Sheldon can exclude this. that or the other, but the exclusion of this, that or the other Is not constructive work. He does nothing in the way of building up. His work must be chiefly of negative nature
 The chief work that confronts him is the making of a paper that the average man will reject when placed on sale alongside the customary everyday paper that he has become accustomed to. It will be impossi- ble ito reform the world if the world will not read the reformer's daily work MT
 Sheldon may encounter this very difficulty.
 If MT. Sheldon were called upon to ap- ply his rules, whatever they may be, to subjects as they arise from day to day, he would soon find that his standard would mot materially differ from the standard of any other reputable paper in the land. After all his standard Is what he thinks should be done. or Is theoretically correct It is his judgment upon men and measures. That he knows more about men and meas ures than his colleagues do-4thah he sees deeper and clearer into the grindstone of the world than they do, is scarcely req sonable. If MT. Sheldon prehends that he has means of ascertaining the truth be- yond all other men, he Is simply passing
 the bounds of sense. He is but man,
 even if he has been enabled by free adver-
 tising to run his circulation up to 30000O,
 and his advertising rate up to s26 an inch.

INHABITANTS TOOTHACHE
Often the Great Pieces of Ivory Will Thrill
 With Pain

From the New York Tribune.
 "T told you the other day about the sul- tan of Zanzibars clocks" said Robert Ora U,ford yesterday but there was an- obher thing I heard of while in that coun- trv which is not without interest. The sultan used to take me around to show me the p,ace and of what its trade consisted. It is the greatest clove-raising country in
 the world, and as such conveys comfort and courage to out-between-the-acts the ater-goers the world over. Other spices and cocoanut rope are also important fea- lures of their export trade. But an add1-
 ton to the sale of that which they raise
 within their own borders their revenues
 are largely increased by the trade in ivory.
 Zanzibar Is the greatest market for South
 African ivory, which is brought there in
 large quantities from the interior. This ivory is placed in large warehouses, from
 which it is either sold at once or else held
 therein for a better market. The man in charge of these warehouses was very
 interesting character-an expert in ivory.
 He told me many curious things about it. and among others propounded the fol-
 lowing theory an explanation of why
 elephants go mad and occasionally run
 amuck. In the warehouse were pair of magnificent tusks, measuring fully fourteen feet from tip to tip. which in life must have been carried by veritable Goliath among elephants. The expert in showing me these tusks pointed out the fact that while one of the tusks was complete and | hawless the other was broken off at the | point. and showed deep scra tches and abra- l sions throughout it's length. Now said | he, If you will look near the base you | will find a hole made by decay that had l struck into the nerves and given ttha t | elephant a toothache, and think what a | toothache of tootlrach ches a fourteen-foot | tooth must have held. In his effort to re- lieve this pain the elephant rubbed his tusk against rock and trees and drove it
 into the earth, whfch mutilated it in the manner you here see. I have frequently
 come across places where an elephant has
 ripped up great spaces tn the forest and torn down the trees, and I am pos stive that toothache was the cause of this
 frenzy. An elephant in circus going sud denly mad and killing his keeper is not an uncommon thing, but I'll wager that in 1 nine cases out of ten if they would prop | erly investigate the matter they would find
 that the brute's sudden frenzy sprung from
 GepHIsAe uommoo so esneo B 6IeuIp1o os toothache.' !" -IQ

Notifications in Nicaragua.

The proposed change reported by the committee on foreign relations in the Hay Pauncefote treaty will not be objected to by England or by any other power when the fact Is considered that this country Is to pay all the costs and take all the risks of 1t. As originally drawn, the treaty pro- vided that the canal should not be forti- fled. "The canal,' it says, shall never be blockaded, nor shall any right of war be exercised, nor any act of hostility be com mitted within it." This and several other similar provisions were copied from the Suez canal treaty made at the Constanti- nople convention; but one clause of the Suez treaty was left out. That clause says the provisions for neutrality shall not "in- terfere with the measures which his majes- ty, the sultan, and his highness the khe- dive, in the name of his imperial majesty, and within the limits of the frmans grant, ed, might find it necessary to take for se- curing by their own forces the defense of Egypt and the maintenance of public or der" This omitted provision has been placed in the treaty by the majority of the committee on foreign relations.
 The cases are not altogether parallel. This country does not own Nicaragua, a- though it owns it as suzerain under the Monroe doctrine to an extent about equal to the ownership of Egypt by either Tur- key or by the khedive himself. England owns Egypt, and the United States protects and watches over Nicaragua. But be that as 1t may, there is no reason why the pur- port and effect of the omitted clause should mot be applied to the Nicaragua canal, If this country is to build it and maintain it. England is willing, for she knows that sea power in case of war will control the ca nal wholly regardless of treaty stipula- tionS
