Preoccupied with their own perplexities in

4 COAT WHICH CREW.
Story of Clever Prisoners Plan for
 Escape.

Green Casey, a convict at San Quens tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow convicts af the prison for the novel contfiVanee he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris. on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county. the story has leaked out, says the SaI Francisco Call Casey was a kind ot trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds iD the vicinity of the prison he took fl into his head that he would like to es- cape. and vas beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. As he was stroll. ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the watchful sentries and make good his escape. Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into long eoaS that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down earelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and Watered 1t daily. In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came te investigate the phenomenon. A kick III the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey. and a red shirt now covers his Neast.

N A.MES Oa DAYS.
Bsve Curious DerIvations Whieb Few

Last night l was at a stag dinner. where the company at large was asked rom what source the days of the week derived their names, and only one man out of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man whe asked It, and he was one day wrong al that, for I've since looked the matter up Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday we come 10 the ancient gods Of our forefathers. inc Engels, that hardy race that dlanIavaa the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Wi, their god of death, wednes- Say for Odin, Woden or yotaa who occupies in their mythology a position analogous 70 that of Jupiter on Eft Olympus; Thursday for Thor. the god of air and storm and rain; Friday fer freia or Freya. the god of peace. and Saturday possibly for saeterr, an oh seure god of their mythology. but more probably 1t takes it's name for Saturn. It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use. 5ut I'll wager that not one person ont of hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives eae not familiar with 1t, by the idioms and phrases they will come across when reading it's pages. that are fami- liar ana colloquial in the language they nse, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence thea came on the part of either speaker or astener-New York Tribune.

SILLY vows WELL KEPT.
Axsist Whose Masterpiece Was Due @
 an oash He Took.

an Oath He Took
 The French artist Gericauid, was determined to allow no distraction to interfere with the painting Of his great picture. "The Wreck af the Medusa. ]" He had his head shaved and vowed that he would never allow his hair to grow until his work was done. This VOW he religiously kept, in spite of strong temptation to break it, and the reward of his heroism was the most perfect painting of his life. A story ia told of young man in E gland, great chess enthusiast, who was so annoyed at his failure to solve an ap- parently simple problem that he vowed he would neither sleep nor eat until self up in disused room and was found four days later by his relatives terribly emaciatec and out of his mind He spent a year in the lunatic asyium Rs the result of his rash VOW: and the problem remains unsolved. 1t was for very curious reason that an old lady, who died a few years ago, condemned herself to more than thirty years confinement to her house She had married widower. as miserly as he was nnromantic, and ha insisted that his second wife should wear the clothes left behind her by his first wife. The wife was as mutinous as the husband was reso1ute, and she de, termined that until shes could have her own clothes she would never leave tha house-a VOW she kept until her death. Woman appears to be at the root of many eccentric vows, for it was ha- tired of the sex that once impelled a well-knoWn lawyer to swear that he would never speak to a woman again as long as he lived Nothing would induce him to see a lady client, and he would never conduct case in which 3 woman appeared .s witness. He never employed a female servant, and dellherately cut all his lady acquain- taneEs. The inevitable result was that the men deserted him. his practice dWindled and he died. less than q yeas ago. alone in ! sQualid em.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

The plant was taken from the yard in the fall and placed in c flower pot No great care was taken of 1t or attention paid to it until re- gently, when twelve blossoms appeared The berries followed in due sine and look especially tempting in this wintry weather, when strawberries are a de. sided luxury.

CHINA AND THE PHILIPPINES.

There is a well remembered story of an emf
nent educator who, Zealously arguing in favor
Of the widest possible system of electives, cited
in proof OF the benefcence thereof the vast
superiority of the lycees of France over the
colleges of the United States. But" objected
a listener, 1.-The French lycees have no elective
system have they?' "Oh, no." responded the
eminent educator with bland imperturbability;
mo, but that is immaterial and does not affect
the force Of the argument"
We are reminded of this by some current
attempts to draw an analogy between the situ-
alton in China and that in the Philippines, and
to argue that because the Presidents policy has
been right in the one it must necessarily, being
different in the other be wrong in the other
Some of the harshest denuncators of the Presi-
dents policy in the Philippines at least as
enthusiastic as any of his friends in praising his
policy in China He is in the latter country.
they say, wisely avoiding entanglements and
war. He is attempting no conqUests. He is
setting up no government. He is proclaiming
sovereignty. He is promptly Withdrawing
the troops which temporary emergency made
it necessary for him to send thither. And what
world of pities it is he did not do precisely the
same In the Philippines If he had it would
have saved so much trouble and expense! But
he did not, and therefore he is TO be condemned
For here lis the syllOgsm: The cases of China
and the Philippines are identical. In the for
mer the President has pursued the only policy
which is right. In the latter he has pursued
different policy, and it therefore must be wrong
Q. Ed.
But what saith the wise man?
Your labor is los. and your argument wrecked
II your major premise is incorrect.
And the major premise in this argument is
about as hopelessly incorrect as anything this
side Of Bedam For China is an independent
sovereignty, which the Philippines are not and
never We're. We went into the Philippines as
an act of formal and declared war against
their sovereign pOssessor, while we are not and
were not at war with China. We effected the
conquest Of the Philippines. but we have never
conquered China. The Philippines were there
upon formally and legally coded and reln-
pushed TO us by their only sovereign Power
but not an inch of China has thus been ceded
We have by conquest and by treaty a title to
the Philippines which every Government in the
world respects as valid, but we have no such
title 10 any part of China. The whole world
holds us responsible for whatever happens in
the Philippines, but no thinks of holding us
responsible for what occurs in China. The two
cases are radically, essentially and diametri-
cally opposed to each other in general and in
detail. There is no comparison, but only most
striking contrast between the two.
And yet we suppose the anti-imperialsts will
say with bland imperturbability, "Of course, of
course; but that is immaterial; it doesn't affect
1.-THE force of the argument"
