The past week marked the retire :
ment from public service of the ablest
and best equipped man who has ever
acted and served as commissioner of
patents, Hon. Arthur P. Greeley. His
resignation emphasizes the utter mad
equacy of the salaries of the commits
sloner of patents and his staff of expert
examiners. Mr.. Greeley, though only
thirty eight years old, is wr tier on
patent law. He leaves office to prac-
tlce in Washington, where he will
make specially of trade marks and
foreign patents. The loss to the pub
lie service of such man is irrepara-
nle, and the government would better
pay Ghe head of the patent Office the
salary of member of the cabinet than
have man like Greeley resign.

which Mr.. Tillman frankly acknowl-
edged and said he was glad were
adopted. Mr.. Spooner at no time lost
his temper, although Mr.. Tillman did
several times, and endeavored to
anger Mr.. Spooner by tantalizing re-
marks. This is not the first oratorical
victory won by Senator Spooner, who
has long been known as one of the
strongest men in the senate in run
ming debate.

The city of Rio Janeiro, Brazil,

lies on low plain between the noun

to and for some distance up the hill.
The streets 60 up hill and down.
They cross one and other St all sorts
Of angles, and the blocks are as
many different shapes as those OF
Washington. The old part of the
city is very narrow and quaint, some
of the streets near the wharves being
so low that they are flooded at every
rain. Near here are the slups of the
town, where yellow fever is rampant
Il summer and where the stranger al'
most takes his life in his hands to 60
through. Large families live here in
one room and everything is squalid
and dirty.
The city is so badly arranged as to
.anitary matters in this section that
the very stones breathe miasma. The
sun never gets fair chance at the
streets for they are 30 narrow that
when the street cars go through them
they almot Craze the sidewalk. The

The ,Moccasin in Winter.

The moccasin is the. most rational
and comfortable of all footwear. In
moccasins the feet have full play; they
,an bend and grasp; there is nothing
to chafe them CIR impede circulation.
In moccasins one can move like on
acrobat, crossing slender and slippery
logs. climbing trees, or passing with
ease and security along dizzy trails on
the mountainside where slip might
mean sure destruction. The feet do
not stick fast in mud. In the North,
when the mercury is far below zero
and no civilized boot will protect the
feet from freezing, the savage suffers
no inconvenience. His moccasins,
stuffed with dried grass, let the blood
course freely. The perspiration may
freeze on the hay in solid lump OF
ice, but the feet remain warm and dry.
The buckskin Hoccasin, Indisn-tanned
witk deers' brains and wood smoke,
always dries soft after wetting.-

"A Bully's Lessons

A member of the Louisville bar
named Simmondson was in the habit
of intimidating the opposing wit
nesses, whom, when they came to be
crcss-e1amined, he harsssed in every
imaginable manner. The last witness
he took in hand was a tall, lank
farmer, with a thoughtful eye. He
had watched the batting of his neigh
bors in dead. silence, and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim.
mondson evidently set him down as a
lout, and when the witness hesitsted
over some question moment he
roared: "Wdat are y Studying about?
'Fraid of telling lie, too, I suppose?"
Without any apparent haste the
countryman picked up massive ink
stand and hurled 1t straight at Sim
mondson's head, catching him on the
Bridge of the nose and knocking him
senseless. "That's what I was
a-studyin' about" he drawled, in the
moment;of dead silence that followed
the act. Needless to say, q tremendous
hubbub ensued, but everybody was
secretlyapleased, and while the Judge
fined the farmer heavily for contempt,

tence.-Chicago Law Journal.

Sing uIar Appearance OF Fish in Samoa

Sing uIar Appearance OF Fish in Samoa.
One strange feature OF this sea life
of .he tropics is the regular recur-
renee of migratory swarms Of fish of
very small e;ze, that return in huge
numbers year after year with such ab-
solute regularity that the natives cal
culate on the event on q certain day
in each year, and even within an
hour or two of the day. One such
swarm of fish forms the occasion of
an annual holiday and feast at sa-
moa. The fish is not unlike the
whitebait for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives at Samoa on
the same day in the month of October,
remains for day, or at the most two
days, and then disappears entirely
till the same day of the following
year. Why it comes, or whence, no
curious naturalist has yet discovered,
nor has anybody traced its onward
course when it leaves the Samoan
group; but the fact is unquestionable
that suddenly, without notice, the still
waters of the lagoon which surrounds
each island within the fringing reef
become alive with millions Of fishes,
passing through them for a single day
and:night, and them disappearing for
a year as though they had never
come. ai5S: ia
A visit to Samoa enabled me to see
this strange phenomenon for myself,
and to witness the native feasts by
which it is celebrated year by year.

the fact that great many OF the words
that were obsolete in 1850 and had tc
be- defined to Thomson's readers are

are only a few that I recall. There
was one word, however, in the list
that is still obsolete and ought to be

Studying Fish Language.

Professor Kollicker, of the Naples
Aquarium, recently went down into
the Mediterranean in an iron cage lit
by electricity. With the aid of
powerful receiver and specially con-
structed phonograph heregistered the
expressions of surprise with which
the fish welcomed his appearance. He
notes that the sound made by cne fish
differs greatly from that of another,
and has summed up the results of his
experiment in the conviction that the
sounds of fishes will yet be recognized
as a language. Indianapolis Press.

For Miss isiackeyes.

For O dark-skinned tot there's a
very taking little dress in yellow
pique, and pique, as we well know,
has the qualities which recommend'it
to the rough treatment which even
the mildest little girl is likely to give
it. The skirt is nearly half rufae, the
joining line being of inch wide white
Hamburg insertion, run with black
velvet ribbon in the three-quarter
inch width. This same garniture
forms the remainder of the trimming.
The guimpe is OF white pique. With
shining black boots and nice black
stockings, or white socks and shoes,
little Miss Blackeyes would certainly
be a treat to the eyes of summer
day.
