An American wit.

The story here related is so typical
of our distinguished representative at
the court of st. James that one would
have no hesitancy in vouching for its
genuineness. A semi-state reception
was given at the residence OK a certain
lord in London; our inimitable
Choate in his court dress" of plain
broadcloth was extremely inconspicu.
GUS in comparison with the gold-laced
and insignia decorated representatives
of other countries. When the night was
waning one of the departing guests,
whose indulgence probably made him
forget that English lackeys on such
occasions wore the livery of their
office, approached Mr.. Choate and re.
quested him to call him a cab. The
response was blank stare. Upon his
repeating the request, Wont you
call me a cab, please?" Mr.. Choate re-
eponded, Certainly, You're a cab"

complaint to the host, was asked as a
favor to point out the offender. After
a search through the crowded saloons
the Englishman was quite at the ell.

An Atmosphere of Happiness.

Happiness is, we maintain, a good
end. The only question is, How much
sacrifice is It worth? Well, certainly
not the sacrifice Of sincerity and Ger.
tainly not the sacrifice of others, but
surely the sacrifice of the habit of NEIL
tai laziness, which is only self-sacri-
fee. If by little trouble We can
create for ourselves a sweet atmos-
phere in which to live, We are surely
doing nothing of which we need be
ashamed. After all, no one breathes
his own atmosphere alone; others
breathe it with him. If happiness is
a despicable object, let us face the fact
sincerely and give up aIl the many
things which we now do openly and
exclusively to obtain 1t. If 1t is not,
why should we not pull ourselves to-
gether, give our attention to the game
and play up?-London Spectator.

PRINCE HENRWs AUTOGRAPHS FEW
Many Efforts Made to Get Them, hut
Few Were Successful

EeW were SucCCsAIub
Prince Henry, while here, was nat.
urally asked often for his autograph,
but it is estimated that not more than
100 persons succeeded in getting it.
Most Of the requests came by mail.
The prince, who had met the auto
graph fiends on the other side, decid-
ed to give his autograph only to GER
tain individuals. These were the
president Of a society or club of
which he was the guest, and one or
two Of those nearest him at table. To
this rule he persistently adhered,
At all the dinners at which the
prince was a guest, in this city and
elsewhere, requests for his autograph
were sent to him in large numbers,
most of them in notes addressed to
him through the presiding officer. Not
a few of these requests were made
personally
The prince always took pains to in
form whoever presided at the dinner
Of the rule he had made, and left it to
him to explain it to the applicants.
In accordance with the rule he made
for himself, he always wrote his auto
graph on the menu card OF the presid-
Ing officer, and of those nearest him
at table, sometimes extending it so
that perhaps five or six persons had
the favor shown to them at the head
table.
Had he complied with all the re-
quests made, it was said by person
who was with him and knew about
his mail, he would not have had timo
to do anything else throughout his
visit but write his signature.-New

One OF the most marvellous OF crea'
tions is the bird which sleeps while
flying, declares the Kobe Chronicle
The frigate bird is the most striking
example of ability in this direction
1t is provided with a large pouch be-
meath its neck, which, when it wishes
to float in the air, it fills with air
From this pouch the air is forced into
its hollow bones through the lungs.
When the air enters it is colder than
the birds body, but after inhalation
1t gains rapidly in heat, and so ex.
pands. The heated air not only flls
the lungs, pouch and hollow bones,
but also permeates between the skin
and flesh of the bird. Altogether a
remarkable bird!

Borncic Acid Injurious,

John Marshall, Dean OF the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania and professor OF
chemistry and toXicology was the
principal witness to-day in a number
of prosecutions before Magistrate
Stratton Of grocery dealers and butch
ers in Philadelphia who are alleged to
have sold adulterated food. The
prosecutions are being made by the
State Dairy and Food Commissioners.
In the case of w. G.. Minchin, ac.
cused of selling meat containing bor-
acic acid, DR.. Ma.shall testified that
the boracic acid is Injurious to the sys'
TEN. When it enters the stomach a
large part of the food escapes without
assimilation. 1t also has a deterrent
effect on digestion generally, he said

HAS A CURIOUS TRANSPORTATION.
The Axolon Becomes Another Animal
In Certain LocalIties,

The Axolon Becomes Another Animal
In Certain Localities.
Naturalists have lorg been familiar
with a newt-like creature, breathing
by gills and lungs both, and inhabit-
ing the lakes of Mexico and other Am
cr:can waters. This is the axolotl. 1t
was also discovered that in certain
localities this creature, which by the
way breeds freely in Mexico, sheds its
skin, casts off it's gills and its tail
fin, develops another color of body and
leaves the water to become a land
newt. Under this latter guise it is
known as the amblystoma.
Naturally, the explanation Of this
curious transformation rests on the
fact that the axolotl is really the
young or tadpole stage Of the ambly-
stoma form, but the popularity here
is that in its first stage it should
breed and multiply and continue to
reproduce axolotls, as If it were a per-
fectly mature animal. The occurrence
of such cases points out to us one
way in which species can be evolved,
for, had we not been acquainted with
the relationship of these forms, no
body would have hesitated to des-
cribe them as two essentially distinct
animals.
Lately 1t has been shown, says the
London Chronicle, that, while in Colo
rado and Dakota the transformation
- complete, in Mexico the axolotl
stage is apparently permanent. Here,
probably, the influence Of environ
ment on a living being is typically
illustrated.

Aerial rorpedo a Terriblo invention.

For the past two years the Swedish
Government has been making careful
experiments with an aerial torpedo,
the invention Of Major Unger, Of the
Swedish army. An official report has
now been published, which declares
that Major Unger has satisfactorily
solved the problem Of discharging an
aerial explosive projectile without the
danger of an explosion taking place
before the desired moment. The tests
are now continuing on larger scale,
considerable credit having been al.
lotted by the Swedish Government
for the purpose.

Ap exhibit lately made by the Marine
Biological Association of London
shows that the age Of some species of
fish may be told by the lines on their
scales, just as the age Of trees may
be known from the number of rings
formed in their growth. The lines
on the scales are more widely separ.
ated in that part formed during the
warm season Of the year, and the
alienation of wide and narrow bands
gives a series resembling the tree
rings.

Wire Abbreviation.

From the beginning of practical tel
egraphy there has been a constant
effort to increase the capacity of wires,
so as to do the greatest amount of busl-
ness in the least possible time. After
duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate and
yet further increase in capacity, a code
system of abbreviation was started
which has grown until a single letter
stands for several words and two or
three letters mean an entire sentence.

Nickel steel is now much used for
pendulum rods in fine clocks because
it is less subject TO expansion than
any other known metal. The proper
ton of alloy is thirty-siX per cent Of
nickel, and the expansion is one two
millioneth for one degree Fahrenheit.
The change of length with the rise or
the fall of temperature is so slight
that change in the brass bob serves to
compensate for it. Nickel steel also
has a remarkable power of resisting
rust.

A new form Of steamship has been
invented by a Dane, for which an
advantage in both speed and steadi.
ness is claimed. The hull is a good
deal f1atter than in the ordinary model,
and this, the inventor says, will de.
crease the draft. But the most novel
feature of the vessel is the placing Of
the screw under the bottom instead of
at the stern. 1t is claimed that such
a vessel will be particularly seaworthy,
and that, with the same speed, it will
save at least twenty per cent. in con-
sumption of coal.

he safely said that their doom was
sealed before the trial ever began.
The accused employed Hon. Beverly
Johnson. distinguished and successful
LAWYER of Baltimore to defend them;
and it was said that he understood the
case and their defence and by the in
sulting manner, and by the arbitrary
rulings of THAT brutal military COM
mission" he left the court in disgust
and the prisoners to their fixed fate.
The only power now left to save the
condemned was executive c!emencE,
and we do not remember that any one
AT all interceded in their behal1 save
one DAUGHTER of Mrs. Surratt.
twas said that Mrs. Surratt'S daugh-
toy went to the White House to see
President Johnson for the purpose Of
interceding in behalf OF her innocent
mother. as she believed, as well as
thousands of others who believed in her
innocence, but to no avail, for 1t was
said that Johnson became beaStly drunk,
feirned sudden illness and would allow
no one to see or speak with him on any
matter whatever throughout the whole
day, and by this unpardonable coward
ice Johnson became party TO the mur-
der of Mrs. Surratt and made room for
the writing of the blacklist and blood
lest page of American history.
The charge of being an accessory to
the killing of Lincoln against JEFF Davis
became so ridiculous that the accusers
dropped the charge and fell back on
the same old charge Of treason and
kept him imprisoned for two years
loncer and in the meantime they never
failed to heap on him ali the indignl-
ties that yankee spite and spleen could
conceive. and finally had to abandon
even the charge of treason and llberate
him with the humiliating confession
that jeff Davis was not guilty OF trea-
son and that the charge could not be
sustained. =, ,
Jefferson Davis lived beyond the al
lotted days of man and died loved and
mourned by the noblest people on
Gods green earth"
Thirty-seven years have nearly clap
sed since the assassination Of President
Lincoln and the cruel murder of Mrs.
Surratt, and besides the parties one
and all that figured so conspiculously
in the trial has during those thirty
seven years including Professor Welch-
man who had so good reason so long to
':brood over it," have passed from
earth to eternity and at the day OF final
reckoning we believe the blood OF muir
dered Mrs. Surratt will be required at
the hands of "that brutal military COM
mission" and their paid-up perjurerss.
Mr.. Lincoln's death was very much
deplored by many Southern people, we
believe, but with all this it did not alter
one item of his record as an enemy OF
the South and the South's interest. He
hadlhis faults and his shortcomings,and
in the teaching of holy writ we read,
''Whoso soweth to the wind shall reap
the whirlwind." Abraham Lincoln
had sown to the wind and he simply
reaped the whirlwind and that is the
sum and substance of the whole matter.
