A Bi-sexual Pronoun.
From the London Cnronicle.

A correspondent comes forward to fill q
few OF the gaps In the English language.
He notes the awkwardness caused by the
lack of a bi-sexual pronoun to cover "him"
and her and the rest. Well, the word
"Eurasian"-made up OF Europe and Asia
gives the clew. Why not commingie "he"
and "she'' and make heesh7 And .'himmer''
Is the obvious resultant OF '.him" and '.her, -
while his" and 'her" precipitate into .'hiz-
xer." What do YOU think OF this sentence,
which illustrates the new English? "A
writer Is annoyed when heesh finds hizxer
work treated as public property. rather
than hizzers. and instead OF being credited
to himmer is pirated by papers by which
heesh Is not remunerated.S

Pilgrimage to independence
Has Already Begun.

independence was designated as the place
for the temple in q revelation said to have
been made to the great prophet OF the
Saints, Joseph Smith, the messenger Oh
Christ, who is believed to stand in the same
relation to his second advent that John the
Baptist did with respect to his first. The
revelation is claimed to have been made in
July of the year 1881, shortly after the sect
was founded. and reads as follows:
Hear1en, o ye elders OF my church.
saith the Lord your God. in 1 this land.
which il the land of Missouri. which I have
appointed for the. concentration OF the
saints. wherefore this II the land OF
promise and the place for the city OF Zion.

house, and wherefore II IL wisdom that
the land should be purchased by the
saints. and also every tract lying west
ward even unto the line running oirectiy
between Jew and 0entfle.
The pilgrimage to this Mecca has already
begun, and the first preparations for build
ing up the city Of Zion have been made.
For several years the Saints have been
Hooking into Independence. and they now
constitute q large part OF the population.
As they go in they buy up land. according
to their ability. and hold It as tenaciously
as their creed inspires.
Finally they hope to " the whole town.
This will be the chief point OF the reor-
xanized church Of the world. Here they
hope to gather some day, erect their tenn
ple and await the heraldry OF Christ.
That this time q not tar distant Is the
positive belief Of every Saint. The signs OF
the times indicate that this day is near at
hand. and all that remains to be done Is the
construction OF the temple.

No Connection With

IAtter-Day Saints are not satisfied with
the Mormon Church. or what 10 mmon
known AZ the Utah branch. A departure In
the early church from the path mapped out
by this nlustrious leader. It is claimed. led
the Latter-Day Saints to organize them
selves into q separate body.
The principal point upon which these two
organizations differ il upon the institution
OF marriage. The Utah church Is polyga-
mastio In M creed. This division claims
that In the year 1888 q special revelation
was made to its prophets through tho vis-
polygamy and making the marriage to
many wives not only admissible. but obli-
gatory, where the circumstances OF the IN
dividual in life would permit It."
Atter-Day Saints believe that with Christ
q new dispensation was ~inaugurated. They
claim that the New Testament teaches mo-
nogamy, and that the visitation OF the an
ri to Brigham Young was q forgery. ana
that its record in the church was an inter-
polstior. They believe that the purest ef-
lection and tho truest home are found in the
ties that bin the ono man to the one
woman.
Ono explanation Of the Saints' ~devoutness
and tenacity to creed is found In the perse-
cutions which they claim to have under
gone. Their history. they assert. has been
q record OF antagonism upon the, part Of
the Gentilea. First they were compelled to
leave their native home in Illinois. Then
they settled at Independence Mo-. where
they were driven out in 1888 by
an armed body OF citizens. Tho
greatest stroke directed against
them was in 1874. after their return
to Illinois, when their prophet. Joseph
Smith, and his brother. Hirum Smith. the
patriarch, were killed by q mob while con-
fined in the Carthage JAIN. In order to APP
preciate the zeal and answering enthusi-
asm OF the Saints. this story OF believed
martyrdom should be retold. and from the
standpoint Of the Saints Themselves thing
that has never been done.

Hearing a Fly Walk.

AS the fly glides rapidly over a smooth
surface every step presses out a supply
of gum strong enough to give him a
sure footing and to sustain him in safe
ty if he halts. So strong is the cement
that that upon one of his six feet is
quite sufficient to sustain the weight of
his whole body. But if he stands still
the gum may dry up and harden quick
1y and SO securely fasten the travellers
foot as to make sudden step snap the
leg itself.
If you wish to hear a fly walk, you
can do it without the aid of the nuga-
phone. Having made friends with the
fly, spread a silk handkerchief over
your ear and induce the insect to crawl
across the handkerchief. AS he ap-
.prOaches your ear you will distinctly
hear a harsh, rasping sound, made by
the contact of the insects feet with
the filaments of silk.

The Hand Kiss,

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore is not derived
from that Of the lips, but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
ssrvile obeisances in which the earth,
the foot and the garments were kissed,
the hand and cheek succeeding in order
OF time and approach to equality of
rank. But it is doubtful if that was
the actual order, and it is certain that
at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations of
rank than at a later stage.
/ kissing Of the hands between men is
mentioned in the Old Testament, also
by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss
was applied reverentially to sacred OBJ
Jects, such as statues of the gods, as is
shown by ancient works of art, and
also among numerous etymologies by
that of the Latin word "adoro," and 1t
was also metaphoricaIly applied by the
inferior or worshiper kissing his own
hand and throwing the salute to the
superior OF statue.

Convincing.

The methods employed by ex-Gov-
ernor Throckmorton of Texas to make
clear the claims Of his clients were
perhaps unlike those of any other law
yer, but they often carried conviction
with them.
<e!At one time he was defending a man
who was on trial for murder in Gaines
vile, Tex. He desired to make it plain
to the jury that the man whom his eli
ent had killed, although in his shirt
sleeves and without a pistol pocket,
might have been well armed.
"Can you see any signs Of arms
about me?" demanded the general, TAX

crahn Are Fighters.

Grabs are fighting animals. In fact,
they will fight anything, says a natu-
raIist. I have seen a crab, in conflict
with a lobster catch the latter over
the fore part Of the head, where the
shell is hardest, and crush it in by one
effort, and it rather bears out my idea
that the claws of these creatures are
particularly weapons Of war; that the
moment one of them receives severe in
Jury in a claw it drops it off by volun-
:tary amputation, severing its connec-
ton with the body at the shoulder by
an act of it's own will. 1t seems to me
probable that if the claw were neces-
sary for feeding nature would rather
seek to cure an injury to it than let the
animal discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most
cOnspicuously a fighter is the hermit
crab. It's first idea of Independent life
is to eat a harmless whelk and occupy
its she'll It's next notion is to give bat
tie to every crab of the same persua-
sion as itself that it comes across. Al
