"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Enul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

I regret it, In the circumstances this
apology was due the public. The Bal
timore Sun says of it: CDR. Rainsford
is to be commended for the frank and
manly way in which he admits his in
discretion. Ministers, being only hu-
man, must often feel the need of an
expletive to work off surplus emotion.
What is man to do, for instance, when
he steps on the business end of tack

asaint might be pardoned under such
circumstances for speaking unadvIsed-

Who pays the expenses of the Presi-
dents trip? According to the Washing
ton Post, the railroads haul the train
free, the Pullman company furnishes
the cars without cost, and each railroad
company stocks the dining car with
provisions for the meals that are serv-
ed as the train passes over its route.
That accounts for the transportation,
sleeping and eating. When the party
leaves the train the members of it be-
come the guests of the municipality
visited, and the entertainment is al
ways lavish Thus it appears that the
transportation and municipal corpora
tions foot the bills for the trip.

It is the opinion of the Indianapolis
News that 'the President cannot build
up white mans Republican party in
the South by appointing colored men as
postmasters" This Is also the opinion
of everybody else who know anything
of the situation. Moreover, the Repub-
can party cannot be materially streng-
thened IN the South by appointing to
office men who have deserted the
Democratic party. That has been
tried and it has failed.

The Florida Legislature has deCreed
in newly enacted law that four years
Of insanity of husband or wife shall be
cause for divorce, and that the person
who may get the divorce shall provide
for the support of the other party Such
law was in operation for several
years in Wisconsin, but it was finally
repealed because it seemed to be an in
ducement to some husbands to have
their sane wives committed to asylums
An objection raised to the Florida law
is that it is general law for special
end, and to accomplish particular
purpose If it is right husband should
legally abandon an afflicted wife, the
marriage VOW for better or worse
