The announcement that John Bar rett, now minister to Siam, will suc- ceed MT Buck as minister to Japan has occasioned considerable criticism and it has become evident that MT Barrett's sphere Of usefulness will be circumscribed by the lack of respect in which he is held by the Japanese government, says our Washington cor
 respondent. 1t Is not true, as has been stated, that the Japanese minis ter has filed a protest with Secretary Hay, nor is it likely that he will do so,
 but it is evident that the minister is most sensitive over the appointment. According to the custom of diplomacy, the United States should send as her representative to Japan man of equal
 mental calibre with the Japanese rep resentative in Washington and that Mir Barrett is not believed to be. He has, in the past, exhibited tendency l to Sensationalism which has not re- commended him to the favor of the Japanese. On the other hand, the president is said to have seriously of tended Senator Hanna by the appoint ment. Minister Buck was appointed at the request of the Ohio senator and his successor, it is claimed. should have been nominated by Mir Hanna. When Sasaa fOr Hapna Jooppad tbat Minister Buck was about to resign he asked MT Roosevelt to consider Lloyd ] c. Griscom,s but the president replied that MT Bucks successor was already chosen. Mr Griscom is now minister to Persia and his promotion to the more important diplomatic post would
 do no violation to the presidents pol- Hey of promotions based on merit.

The Country Dance in Ireland.

'sThe country dance, the crossroads festivity of the Irish peasantry, which had practically become thing of the past in Ireland when was there five years ago." said the Rev. Father Fielding, of Chicago, "is again in full swing in the old country, much to the delight of the lovers of an Irish Ire- land. A puritanicaI spirit totally alien to Irish character he continued, 'arose among the Irish clergy dec ade ago, and every enjoyment and pas time of the young country folk was drowned upon. The. great work done by the Gaelic league in Ireland has changed conditions. The league now pays Irish pipers and fiddlers' to play at the crossroads dances, when, in view of all the old folks, the boys and girls of Erin enjoy themselves just as they did in the time Lever wrote about.

CoLORs IN WOOD.
Ehe Various Kinds That Are Used to SuppIy the Demands of yari-
 Ous Trades.

An amateur collector of woods for ornamental work recently Stated in Science and Industry that he had bog black as ebony.
 Brown is well represented in his col lection by walnut from this country, and cocobola and snakewood from the tropics. Ihe last named variety has the remarkable property of show ing it's mottled spots on all four sides, instead of two, as is usually the case. IL is very dense and hard to cut. When at Is cut it gives out an odor similar to that of scorching wood.
 In reds he has mahogany, cedar, California redwood, African yermifion and tulip wood, the last mentioned variety being striped. Bluish tints can be obtained from anaranth and heart of lilac. Very few people know that near the heart of this common towering shrub are the most beauti- ful streaks of purplish hue, varie- gated with white. It is difficult to obtain in large pieces, as the trunk rots and dies almost as soon as it be- gins to attain large diameter.
 Different shades of yellow are af- forded by lancewood, orangeWood, sandalwood and Spanish satinwood. Sumach is greenish, and has pretty grain. Very light tints can be ob- taiued by using quarter-sawed maple and sycamore. White holly is even more effective in getting contrasts of color,

The president has recently been face to face with the south

The president has recently been brought face to face with the south
 ern republican situation by the case of $. H. Wick, candidate for the post mastership at Wilson, N. 0. MT Wick
 is colored man and is opposed by Senaor Pritchard. because of his op- position to Senator Pritchard's organ ization in that state. MT Wick said he opposed the senator's organization
 because it had for its end the elimina- tion of the coIored citizen as politi- cal factor in the state. The president has said that, in no instance, would he regard mere color as bar to office holding and the senator has made the additional charge that Wick is unwel- come to the citizens of Wilson, a charge that can be made in the case of every colored ofice-holder in the southern states. The president still has the matter under advisement and the outcome is looked for with much interest. ,,e- x

SOME HOSPITAL PETS.
odd Creatures That Are a Source of Great Comfort to the Little
 Patients.

Of army, navy and other semipub- lie pets much that is entertaining has been written. Hospital pets are not 50 well known, but it is easy to imag- inc the pleasure they give to a ward full of little patients, and no one could doubt the statement of nurse, in the Hospital, that they brighten many weary hour of convalescence and ma teriaHy help toward a cure.
 The first pet of which the nurse tells is Jumbo, a wise old tortoise, which lived, moved and had his happy being in a children's ward in New York hospital. His curious wanderings about the ward, his clumsy gait. his air of antiquity and wisdom caused many child to forget pain; and to have Jumbo on the bed was the highest re- ward the staff nnrse could promise to little patien. for good behavior during the surgeons visit
 Nurse Judy was a fox-terrier which, for 15 years, was close ani lovingly compassionate friend to ev- cry little inmate of children's ward in a London hospital. None knew bet- ter than Nurse Judy that a dog that lives in a hospital must not bark, for there were little sick ones whose sleep must not be disturbed. Barking was the only canine privilege denied her, and sheswas always cheerful un- der this ordeal of silence, and more than most of her kind she learned to express her joy by wagging her stumpy tail.
 Gypsy" another terrier, has taken Nurse Judy's place, and is already so wise probationer that some of the nurses say they s'could almost trust her to take a temperature!" Gypsy plays ball with the convalescents and always has a Santa Claus pocket of her own at Christmas. The only liberty she will not tolerate from the children is the attempt to commanders" any of her own special property from the top drawer, where it is kept.
 A monkey named Giovanni was once ward pet in little hospital in Leg horn, Italy. Originally he had be- longed to an Italian, whose dying wish was that his monkey might stay with him to the last. The good sisters who acted as nurses did not quite know what to do with the awkward legacy bequeathed them by the friendless sick man, but Gioyanni's big eyes said as plainly as possible: Don't send me out to face a friendless world! Isn't it enough for monkey to lose his loving master without losing the home he has found here?"
 His mute simian eloquence prevailed. Giovanni was adopted, and became known as the Count" The sisters grew very fond of him. He amused the children. and at length became as much fixture as one of the pillars of the hospital gate.
 Two ehameleons lived and died in children's ward in London hospital. They did not live long-clameleons in captivity never debut they were great source of interest and wonder while they lived, and their changing color under the children's very eyes was constant mystery and delight. A wise little boy patient once informed the ward that it was "only conjuring like that chap did at our school treat" But it was never quite clear to the others whether the coniuring was done by the chameleons or was a trick of the nurse who owned them.

Last of a Species of Parrot.

Ornithologists will regret to learn that Buildings Amazon parrot, Q rare bird inhabiting the mountains of St. Vincent, bas in all probability become extinct, ewing to the recent volcanic phenomena in the island. The species was said formerly to oc- cur only on the SouRriere, hence it became known as the Souffriere bird. many specimens to seek shelter in the other highlands of St. Vincent, but their numbers were considerably reduced by the fearful hurricane of 1898, and there is reason to fear, so I am told by an ornithological friend, that the few survivors have all per- ished in the eruption of May last.- Scotsman.

Di..atirfsed American Women.

The American woman is restless, dissatisfied. Society, whether among the highest or lowest classes. has driven her toward a destiny that is nor normal. The factories are full of old maids; the colleges are full of old maids; the bathrooms in the worldly nilieux are full of old maids. For natural obligations are substi- .tuted the fictitious duties of clubs, committees, meetings, organizations. professions, a thousand unwomanly occupations.-Eve Magazine

While comparatively little has ap- matter, the defeat in the house of the London dock bill, on Tuesday, was a matter of grave importance. It is the custom of London dock owners to col lect a tariff of 42 cents per ton on every ton of freight unloaded from vessels coming from ports in the United States. With view to pre- venting this discrimination parliament passed a law prohibiting the charge, but the dock owners got around that by having the charge stipulated in the bill of lading, which, as it was nego- tiated on American soil, was beyond the jurisdiction of parliament. The bill just defeated had for its object the prohibition of the contract on this side of the water. Originally the milling, lumber and packing interests support cd the measure, but suddenly the two latter withdrew their support and so accomplished it's defeat. There are many ugly rumors afloat which con- meet the new shipping syndicate and it's Washington lobby with the with drawals and consequent loss of the bill. It is pointed out that an ar- engagement could easily have been made with the large industrial named for a refund of the charge and possi- ply for a share in the profits made by assessing the tariff on the smaller shippers. ..'.
