A SPANKING NEEDED,

Here the governor stopped and with
out a word slapped his hands signif
cantly across one another with resound-
ing spanks. The crowds laughed.
"And | have not determined what
am going to do with that babe and am
not going to until he looks up and smiles
and wiggles his toes. Then I'll talk
with him about the future, But first he
must recognize his benefactor and he
must recognize the pit from which
plucked him. Applause
81 am not here to talk policy, but
say it has been determined that the babe
shall be .reconciled My boy, who is
called Uncle Sam, wants me to let them
play marbles together when the babe is
big enough. My wife wants me to take
the babe and raise him. She says we
are as rich as Croesus, and that God has
not given us so much wealth for nothing
When the babe is old enough she says
can give him some money and set him
up in business for himself. My girl
says that she doesn't like the youngster
at all; that she doesn't like his COM
plexion; it is dirty. She wants me to get
anyone else to bring him up no, not
anyone else, because we would be re-
sponsible if he wasn't well brought up,
but we might get Aunt Germany or Sis
ter France or Mother England to do 1t
The old grandmother in the chimney
corner snaps out that had better mind
my own business; that have rs many
children now as can raise; that If |
take care of my own children | will do
pretty we'll, and tells me to put the babe
back where got him. But in my family
no one but a grandmother would think
ofdoing thing like that to homeless
wait What to do don't know, but |
shall solve the question when it comes
time. In the meantime am waiting
for the babe to reconcile itself. /"

WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS.
''But the democratic party is against
us whatever we do. Jacksonian democ-
racy is to allow the republican party 10
declare its principles and then to de-
clare against those same principles, and
it has been determined by the demo.
cratic party that such shall be Its
principles for all time. (Laughter)
There are other things which have
been determined, and one is that we
have had a war with Spain. 1t may
have been bad policy, but it is too late
to go back now. 1t may have been a
failure, but we can't revert it; it is
history. (Laughter)
'One day the president called to-
gether the boys, just after they planted
their corn, and sent them across the
water and they whipped Spain to a
standstill and got back again in time TO
pick the corn they had planted. There
was never thing like it before on
earth. And there never will be again
until we have another war. Laughter
and applause

boys to Paris. They came back after
negotiating a treaty. The leader of

the treaty and to say that they are sorry

Lion Cubs Almost a Drug Because
Easily Bred in Captivity.
The Importation OF lions has almost
ceased because is is cheaper and easier
to breed them in captivity. Formerly
an importer of fine lions could calcu-
late upon getting $4,000 for good speci-
men, but to-day young lions bred in
are almost drug in the mar
ket. The only demand for imported lions
is to keep up the stock or the breeding
ones for very large, powerful creatures,
for it is noticeable that the tendency
in the cage breeding Is for the animals
to degenerate in size and ferocity.
Tigers do not take kindly to cage life
as the lions, and they do not breed so
in captivity, and consider
able numbers are imported every year.

OFFICERS IN BATTLE.

Our own experiences in Cuba and
the Philippines, and the recent expert
ence of England in South Africa said
an old soldier yesterday, ARE certain to
result in some new army regulations
framed especially for the protection of
officers in battle. 1t Is plain that some
thing must be done to diminish the
picking off of the men in command; If
not, the engagements of the future will
resolve themselves into a mere question
of shoulder strap sharp-shooting, 1t be-
ing a conceded fact that the quickest
way to put an army hors de combat ID
to rob it of its brains, The custom Of
standing up unnecessarily under fire Is
already being sternly discouraged, and
I'm sure it will be gladly abandoned.
No man enjoys exposure of that kind,
and all that Is needed to insure ordinary
prudence is the knowledge that 1t will
be endorsed by public opinion. The
more serious question to be considered
is that of uniform. At present, every
officer is target by reason of the dis
tinguishing marks of his dress and
equipment and In many of the historic
English regiments special pains have
been taken to render them as strikingly
conspicuous as possible. That is we'll
enough in barracks or on parade, but in
action it lacks the first element of com
mon sense. Modern warfare has be-
come an exceedingly practical business,
and / predict that the next twelve
months will see the removal of all
marks of rank in the service dress OF
at least company officers-who are ma
turally the ones most exposed. There
is absolutely no reason why a Captain
or a Lieutenant should advertise the
fact by his clothes. They identify him
mot to his own men, who know him
we'll enough without any label-but to
an enemy, anxious to bowl him over and
end his usefulness. Nowadays a sword
is Of no service whatever except to
draw fire, which it will do every time,
and shoulder straps and gold lace at
tract bullets as magnet attracts iron
filings All such dangerous and obso-
lete trappings should be relegated to
spectacular displays in times of peace,
and when body of troops enters an
actual battle there should be nothing
to distinguish the officers from the pri-
Yates. The advantages of such a sys-
tenn are so obvious that they hardly ad-
nit of an argument. look to see some
steps taken in that direction in the
very near future. New Orleans Times

EMPIRE FURNITURE.


Why 1t Is Desirable and Dear and How
to Buy 1t Cheap in Paris.
'The useful New Years gift' is offered
in the Boulevard shops. If one could
find out the manufacturer who works
for these shops one could have them
third cheaper. First Empire furni-
ture is the rage. First Empire clocks.
desks, and work tables are things to
offer as wedding or New Years pres
ents. They are very expensive.
Though there is rage for them, the
supply keeps equal to the demand. The
reason is not hard to guess. But 1t may
be interesting to learn row it is that the
trade proceeds. The other day some
friends from England asked me to go
with them to see an Empire time-piece
that took their fancy. I went. The
timepiece was priced at forty pounds.
1t seemed genuine, and l thought I
must have seen it somewhere. The
name of the clockmaker who supplied
Napoleon with timepieces was on the
dial-plate. Still I had a lurking sus-
picion that 1t was a clever imitation;
so I advised my friends to think over
the matter. When they left the shop
1 put them In the hands of an obliging
Jew. He took them to a manufacturer
who supplied shopkeepers with bric-a-
brac. Empire style. They saw there
clock exactly like the one they had been
looking at. The price was six hundred
francs. instead Of one thousand francs.
rs it true Empire style?" one of them
asked. Yes, yes; real Empire style"
was the answer. The article turned out
to be, as well as the other, an exact
copy of a timepiece at the Chateau de
Ramboullet 1t was sent there when
the Empress Eugene thought of using
Rambouillet as Summer abode. The
manufacturer told white lie. What
he offered for sale was, "style Empire"
but of recent make. The name on the
dial-plate was forgery.
Among the advantages of genuine
Empire furniture Is the age of the
wood when there is no decay. Ma
hogany dating from the year l does not
warp. There was also then a greater
number of old trees to choose from. The
older the tree the closer the grain of the
wood, and the higher the polish that it
takes. Decorative bronzes were fur
nished hundred years ago by rivaled
artists. They had gone to schools of de-
sign in the reign of Louis XIV, and as
the decorations unearthed at
and Pompei. 1t is very
hard now to find each perfection as
they reached. The Empire furniture
began to come in toward the close of
Louis XVIs reign. Its advent was due
to Queen Caroline sending some adap-
tations Of Pompeian furniture as pre-
sent to Marie Antoinette. The bronze
was Egyptian. Egypt |
ian art was, suppose in Cleopatra's
time, the fashion in Roman villas round |
the Bay of Naples.
Empire furniture the true) has an
other advantage-sincerity 1t is al |
ways what 1t sets up to be. Then 1t |
does not catch dust and break the |
heart What is more easy |
to keep nice and bright? The union it |
presents of strength and elegance
speaks in its favor. 1t gives no sugges-
ion of the petite maitresse, for it Is
.ouched with austerity. 1t suits the
Court, the camp tent, the council cham
Der, the library, the bedroom, but it
loes not suit the boudoir.--London

portations of these animals are so
| large that the prices obtained for them
have dropped from $4,000 to from $1,000
to $4,000 each.
Numerous as monkeys are in this
country they are not bred here, as they
do not breed well in captivity. They
are so seasily obtained in the country
south of us, however, that prices OBJ
tanned for them are merely nominal,
and there is little danger of the i'm
mediate extinction. In their native
countries they multiply so rapidly that
the supply always keeps well up to the
demand Among the highest-priced ami
mails of to-day are the rhinoceroses.
They are quite scarce and they do not
breed in captivity. They are probably
not more than half dozen in number
in this country; all were bought years
ago at good round sums. Thus the
full-grown one in Central Park cost the
department $1,000, and asimilar sum
was paid for the fine African specimen
in the Philadelphia Zoo. The most re-
cent purchase of a rhinoceros was the
full grown one for Barnum's circus.
which cost the proprietors $3.50.
The hippopotamus is another extreme
ly rare and expensive creature, and
sales of these African products are so
few that it is difficult to quote price
for them. 1t is seldom that dealers have
q good specimen to sell, and few pri-
vate circuses could afford to give the
prices that would be demanded. The
hippopotamus born in Central Park Is
the only instance of these animals
breeding in captivity, in this country
Had this baby hippopotamus belonged
to a private show it would have made
a fortune for it's misunderstanding
