INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Commissioner Macfarland's Suggestion
Regarding the Observance

In speaking today of the Fourth of July
In Washington Commissioner mcfarland,
president of the District board. deplored the
fact that there was no formal celebration
of the day such as there is In most of the
other large cities of the country. Mr. Mac
farland makes the suggestion that some
action should be taken looking toward a
proper celebration In the future.
II am very sorry he said, that there
was no general public meeting in celebra-
ton Of Independence day here. l believe
that such a meeting ought to be held every
year. OF all places the national capital
ought to celebrate most fully the great ma
tional day Heretofore the Sons of the
American Revolution and the Sons of the
Revolution have held appropriate meetings
here on the Fourth of July, which the gen.
eraI public attended. But yesterday the
only meeting was that Of the Oldest In
habitants' Association, which was held in
the country. l think of proposing to the
Commissioners that we arrange each year
for District celebration of the Fourth OF
July. The Boston government has cele-
bration in Faneui Hall, the Philadelphia
government has one in Independence Hall.
the Declaration of Independence. l think
the executive government of the District Of
Columbia might properly establish sim
liar celebration in the national capital.
Surely there ought to be some general
meeting to which patriotic citizens of the
national capital might go on Independence
day to hear the Declaration OF Independ-
ence read and appropriate addresses and
music

DESTROYING RAINS.
Young Quadrupeds, Land Birds and
Even Water Fowl Suffer.

From the London Spectator.
From all parts of England and much of
the continent of Europe comes news of the
destruction Of life caused by the incessant
summer rains. They have not only been ex-
traordinarily heavy, but have lowered the
temperature to an unusual degree, adding
to the plague of wet the further plague of
cold. From race horse foals to the swifts
and swallows, every form of life seems to
have suffered. June Is the most critical
month for the reproduction of the majority
of European birds and beasts. Deer drop
their fawns in June. and the bulk of the mi
grant birds are bringing up their first
broods, while other and earlier species are
laying for their second. Young pheasants
about to get their head feathers (after
which they are fairly safe, and cartridges
are sitting for the second or third week.
Cygnets are due to hatch, the young grouse
are at critical age, and the young wild
ducks are not yet out of the down.
1t is curious fact that wet weather is
quite as fatal to young water fowl as to
land birds Mr.. j. G.. Milais in his fine
work just published on the 'Surface-Feed-
ing Ducks says that though the little
ducklinss will play for hours on the water
when 1t is under them, they succumb in a
very short time to rain falling on their
backs. He is we believe, the first natural
ist to point this out, and illustrates 1t by
most charming drawing of several old
to shore at the first sign of a shower. and
are not "mcthering" them hen does by
sitting over them, but stand up with their
backs to the rain, and opening their wings
hold them out on either side, making a
kind of curtain or screen for the little ones
to shelter in front Of
A quite distressing instance came under
the writer's own notice last week of the
death of little cygnets, due partly to the
weather, partly to the very limited brains
OF the swan. The bird Matched on Saturday
bringing out four sweet little cysnets, COW
cred with grey down and with the bright
est black eyes, one infertie egg only re-
naming out of five. The rain poured nearly
all Saturday, and the cygnets could not be
taken into the water or be allowed to find
food. One got out Of the nest and remained
exposed during the ceaseless rain of the
night. Next morning it was found dead,
and the others were probably weakened by
the want of food. Two of them got out into
the cold, wet grass next day, where cock
swan found them and covered them FL
nally, the hen bird in taking them to the
| river led them into muddy puddle of very
cold water. where all three died in about
half an hour a melancholy end to such
bright little creatures

THUMB RING LORE.
Famous Specimens and Wearers in An
cient History.
From the London Lady.

From the London Lady.
The custom of wearing rings upon the
thumb prevailed in England until the close
of the eighteenth century and is Of very
ancient origin. There is mummy case in
the British Museum which represents an
Egyptian lady wearing rings upon the
thumbs of both her hands The Romans
were greatly addicted to this practice and
as many Of their thumb rings were most
cumbersome and inconvenient the patrI-
clans varied their rings with the season.
terming them summer or winter" rings,
as the case might be-
During his visit to. Rome, Addison saw
some of these old rings, and comments thus
upon them: so very thick about, and with
such large stones in them, that tits no won
der fop should reckon them little cum
bersome in the summer season Of so hot a
climate" The Emperor Trajan possessed a
winter thumb ring which measured some
three and half inches in width, and bore
a bust in high relief of his consort, Plotina
English thumb rings do not appear to have
been less massive. During the latter part
of the middle ages they formed part Of the
necessary adornment of a bishop when no
was arrayed In full pontifcals.
Thomas Beckett possessed a thumb ring
set with a valuable ruby, which was about
lie Size OF a men egg. MS ring was q
gift from Louis VII of France. At the
reformation, Bluff King Hal seized the
archbishops ring from his despoled shrine
and took 1t for his own personal adornment,
thus bringing thumb rings back into fash
ion for while. They had long been aban-
doned by the upper classes and had grad
ually come to be considered as Indicative
of the burgess class. Thumb rings were
often set with the tooth Of some animal as
an amulet. VOLTS tooth was supposed to
act as a charm against assault, while a
badgers tooth brought wealth and general
good luck.
The crapandine, or toadstone, was also
used in this way, it was supposed to
being the power Of warning its wearer Of
the presence oe poison n hts food or drink
by changing its color. The mystic word
AnamyaptuS" was often engraved upon a
thumb ring as charm against epilepsy or
cramp. This was in accordance with an uld
superstition, which gives this word as a
cure for the falling sickness" Another ia
vorite preventive OF epilepsy was a silver
thumb ring engraved in Gothic characters
with the names of Jasper Melchior and Bal
thazzar, the three Wise Men from the East
Ii The Squires Tale" Chaucer mentions a
magical thumb ring worn by Conace the
her complete knowledge of the medicinal
values Of herbs and enabled her to con-
verse with birds in their own language
Wedding rings were formerly worn upon
the thumb, but did not always STAY there.
In the ancient ritual of marriage the BRIDE
groom was directed to place the ring upon
the thumb with the words, with all my
worldly goods l thee endow," moving II to
the other fingers in succession.

COURT REPRoVEs POLICE.
Judge Scott Questions Officers Regard
ing Arrests for Profanity.

Judge Scott of the Police Court today
took occasion to remark upon the custom
OF members of the police department who
arrest people for INDUCING in profanity.
The remarks took place during the trial of
Charles Johnson, colored, who was arrested
Tor using bad language while on 26th street
northwest last night.
do you officers arrest every one you
bear using profanity" the court asked the
two policemen who arrested Johnson.
They admitted that they did not.
Judge Scott then said:
II have heard members OF the police
force indulge in profanity under the roof
OF this court building and l wish to say
that II Is the duty of every police officer
who hears such language to arrest the par
ties. and / shall fine them If they are
brought before me and are convicted
You hardly ever hear of a well-dressed
1lan getting into trouble on this charge
It Is inferred that they use profanity in
the presence OF police officer. but are not
molested. but II lalbIoring man should do
such thing he is locked up"
The Incident was closed by the court &C.
cepting Johnson's personal bonds.
