QUEEN VICTORIA's WILD BOARs

About Christmas time I always mo- tice that the same wonderful state ments appear in the papers about the good cheer which is served on the din- ner table and on the .sideboard at Osborne, says the Free Lance. This year one scribe has gone degree bet ter than usual, for he asserts that the boar's head which forms an item of the bill of fare was taken from wild boar, "one of the herd roaming in Windsor forest" A herd of wild boars in Windsor forest is magnificent inn agery. Without stating that there are no wild boars in England, it may be pointed out that there are no less than four royal farms contiguous to Windsor forest, the Shaw, the Norfolk, the Flemish and Bagshot, and that the queen, even if she did not think of her neighbors. would never sanction wild swine in the district. Had the gentle men in question stated there were roe buck in the forest, he would have been correct, though the fact is not gener- ally known, for the breed was intro duced by the prince consort The wild boars eaten in the queens house. hold come from the German emperor, the Grand Duke of Hesse and the King of the Belgians, whose shooting in the Ardennes is perhaps the best of all, because it is not so tame as that of his august relatives.

Speaking of President McKinley's act of appointing Justice Harlan's son to a responsible position in Porto Rico a staff writer on New York paper says that the country rubbed it's eyes when the newspapers brought the news that the sons of Justices AfcKen- na and Harland of the supreme court had received appointments from the administration in Porto Rico, while the Porto Rico tariff and the status of the Philippines are under adjudica- tion in that court, and the votes of these two judges may turn the scale for or against the policy on which Mir Mckinley had set his heart And to emphasize the meaning of the appoint ments more distinctly, Justice Mcken- mas son takes the place made vacant by the removal of MT Harrison! In all our political history I can recall no such scandalous use of the appointing power as this. I would say so even if I were sure that the president had no purpose of influencing the decision of the court by this step. None the less, the step would be scanda1ous and in decent, under the circumstances, as indicating eallous indifference to the proprieties of public life and to the respect due. to the judicial ermine. Such acts on the part of the royal gov ernment were common enough, before Sir Matthew Hale established the standard of judicial character and conduct to which English-speaking communities have deferred ever since. It was part of the suicidal policy of Charles I. to undermine the credit of his own judges, by rewarding them for accepting his views of the law by talk ing care of their families. But doubt if even he would have publicly appointed son of a judge to a profit able place, while the question of the obligation to pay ship money was be- fore the bench.

It is reported in a Washington dis patch to the Chicago Inter-Ocean that the republican national committee would vote almost unanimously ito get rid of Gage and have q republican secretary in his place broad minded enough to map out policies, rather than be simply a banker trying to hoard the peoples money and keep it out of circulation, that would relieve them of unnecessary taxation" When it is recalled that MT Cages policy as secretary of the treasury was con- trolled by law, which he has continu- ally insisted should be remedied by proper amendment, such criticism must be considered as merely a pre- text to dispense with men whose rec ord has been consistent with the pledges of their party to the business interests of the country; the men who have not hesitated to urge the demand for currency reform as the very best party policy. proved to be so by the results last November.

There are no trees in the senate chamber for Teddy to climb when the wild animals which roam in that end of the Capitol get too hot on his trail, and there will be no handy friends around to fill them full of lead.

RHYME OF THE PR0H6HoRNs.

 This is the tale that the howlers tell At, the end of the hunting weather, When. the quick rain rills
 On the bare. burnt hllls, And they talk in the lair together. Gray coyote and lean gray mate And little gray cubs that cry
 When the wet wind shrills
 In the lone, waste hills, And the rams go roaring by; i. Oh, the red hawk knows where the
 gophers run,
 The mice hear the elf-Owl call, The badger hunts for the squirrel hills; But the man he hunts for us all. And he has taken the pronghorn doe And the buck with the gun and the
 snare:
 He has set him price on the howler's skin, And tracked us home to the lair. And now we turk in the scrub by day, And now we slink in the dark; And only the foolish rabbits quake, And only the squirrels hark, And we must bark at the mesa moon, AndCound by the sheep fold prowl, With never kill that is worth our skill. -r.- To raise at our hunting howl, And we must eat of the sun-dried meat Of the herds when the pastures fail, And we who were lords of the mesa
 lands Must skulk from the white mans
 trail.
 Gray coyote and lean gray mate Aid little gray cubs that bark, Jna ayiv,f hot fo10 hot f1,n;v fn toll Up in the lair in the dark. Mary Austin.

The republican bosses have lessened the rake off, provided by the ship subsidy bill for the Standard Oil trust and for the big steamship companies, says q Washington critic, but that hasn't changed the principle underly- ing the bill, which is so thoroughly vicious that democratic senators would be Justified in filibustering against it, even to the extent of forcing an ex- tra session of congress.

BEAVERS IN THE PARK.

The last few weeks nave been busy ones for the
beavers at the New-York Geological Park, Tor al
the first warning of cool weather they began 10 ar
range their winter quarters. These curious mite
animals were brought last spring from their native
homes in Texas. II was difficult matter to eaten
them. and still more difficult TO snip them mere
safely. for they are tirnid creatures ana OUT VI
twenty or more captured only six survived to make
their home in the beaver pond in the park They
were tired out little family when they plunged
into the cool recesses of the pond and wondered IL
trls was to be the end of the hustng and Jostiing
to which they had been subjected for so long
time. No doubt they thought 1t strange that the
quarters in which they found themselves should be
exactly suited their needs. for all the material
for setting up ideal beaver home was at hand
The pond which covers about two acres of land. Is
kept we'll filed with cool, clear water, and dotted
here and there are tiny little islands surrounding
the trunks of large trees. The pond is oval in
shape and at one end trickles away into small
brook.
As beavers do their work at night, only few per-
sons have had even a glimpse of the animals, which
interesting to look az because of their strange
formation. The fully grown ones are about three
and one-half feet in length. and their thick coats
composed of mixed hair and fur. 1t is this
warm covering that protects them from the severe
cold to which they exposed in the winter. The
tail Of the beaver somewhat resembles a round fiat
shovel the head looks like that of mouse. and the
mouth when opened discloses long. sharp teeth be-
meath blunt little nose.
1t took some time for the newcomers TO the park
make up their minds that the journey must have
been a long, bad dream. but finally they grew ac-
customed to their new home. and beaver has
recently grown friendly that he will come up
of the little islands for hour in
the middle of the day Probably he the to
his companions that winter would soon De
here. and doubt he said in beaver language,
Come. let's get to work and build dam at the
end of the lake before the water all flows and
the doors of homes left above the water
line for enemies TO get in For; you see they did
where the water will be kept at the right depth for
their comfort. and they took II for granted that
they must take the same precautions TO preserve
