SUSPICION CONFIRMED.

An old gentleman, evidently a gath erer of statistics, but with a kindly face which shaded off to something like philanthropy about the edges, was gazing abstractedly down Regent street Suddenly he stepped up to a gentleman who was waiting for a bus, and, touching him lightly on the shoulder. said Excuse me, but did you just drop a soyereign?" holding out in his hand the coin mentioned.
 The gentleman questioned made a hasty search of his pockets and said: Why, so I did! And hadn't missed itr' holding out an eager hand.
 The old man drew forth e-book and took his name and address, and then said, T thought so," turning away.
 Well" said the other. do you want it all as a reward?"

ANIMALS WITH THREE EYES
Another Creature Discovered With
 Third Eve.

Another Creature Discovered With a Third Eye.
 Nearly everyone has heard of the tuatara, the curious iguana-like looking creature now found on one or two islands off the coast of New Zea- land and supposed to be the oldest liv- ing type of animal on the face of the globe. One of the most curious feat ures is an argan on the head, which at one time was spoken of as the pineal gland, but which rADendy discovered to be ill reality third eye.
 His paper on the subject caused the greatest interest in the English scien- tific circles. and, as an illustration of the way in which research is special ized nowadays, it may be mentioned that while pr Dendy devoted himself to the study of the third eye one dis tingrished English biologist is work ing out'' the skeleton, another the kid neys, and so forth. In short time, therefore, our anatomical knowledge of the tuatara ought to be complete.
 More recently Dr Dendy has discov- cred another New Zealand creature possessing third eye. This is the New Zealand lamphrey, favorite article of food among the Maoris. The third eye IS Sltudteu Ou tue top Ol Jue uedu duu is covered with thin coating of skin. It is doubtful whether it is now of any practical use for seeing, but Dr Dendy believes that at one time far back in the worlds history there were two eyes in the back of the humphreys head. He is further of the opinion that at one time the tuatara also had two eyes where now only one remains. Tn the tuatara it is the left eye Which has sur vived, while in the lamphrey it is the night one.-Melbourne Argus.

EDWARDS CORONATION RING
Win Be Made to Fit-The Queens Did
 Not

The kings coronation ring has been reset. The size of his majesty's ring finger has no doubt been accurately taken. In the case of the late queen a neglect of this precaution led to pain ful results. The ring had to be forced on and a refrigeratory process was needed to get it off again.
 From the time of Richard II, to 1881 the coronation ring was a table ruby set in gold. In later times the ruby was engraved with St Georges cross. The cross does not appear on the coro- nation ring of Queen Mary II. It is to be seen on that of William W. and of Queen Victoria. The ecclesiastical cus- tom was followed in the case of her late majesty, and sapphire was made the foundation stone of her coronation ring, with the St Georges cross set in rubies thereon.
 To receive the ring, the king will draw off the linen glove, which he has worn since the amounting, and it has, I take it, been decided which glove he will draw off, and on which hand the ring will be put. That seems, however, to have been rather a moot point. The last King Edward, according to one &C., count, received the ring on his wedding fnger-that is, the fourth finger of his right hand. Another account has it that he received it on his left hand. EIn the s'Liber Regalis" and the "Forma let Modus,.' neither the hand nor the finger is mentioned. For the wedding ring of England the wedding finger of the sovereign perhaps appeared to be sufficiently indicated.
 The blessing of the ring by the arch bishop is first prescribed in the .tLiber Regalis." It was there twice blessed. At the coronation of Charles I. one blessing was considered sufficient, though James I. insisted upon two. James II. dispensed with the blessing altogether, and since 1885 the custom has not been reyived.-Pall Mail Ga- zette.

THE WRONG CONNECTIONS

The telephone and the bill clerk. to whom she had promised her heart and hand. were sitting in front of the fire place talking about the happy days to come when they would be one.
 From one. little detail to another the talk finally drifted to the subject of lighting the fires in the morning. On this point the young man was decided. He stated it was his emphatic opinion that it was a wife's place to get up and start the fires and let her poor, hard working husband rest.
 After this declaration there was si- Hence for the space of about three-quar- ters of a second. Then the telephone girl thrust out the finger encircled by her engagement ring and murmured eweet1y. but firmly:

Illinois statesman OF any laurels. but
his friends should not claim for him
more than his due.
The youngest man ever honored with
a seat in congress was John Young
Brown OF Kentucky. Mr.. Brown went
to a congressional convention IN his
district as a boy delegate. He was
born in 1885 and the convention re-
ferred to was held in the Fifth Ken
lucky district in 1859, to nominate for
an unexpired term. OF course he had
no idea that he would be nominated.
and when his friends suggested his
name he protested and attempted to
withdraw on the ground that he had
not attained the legal age
Nevertheless, the nomination was
given to him and the canvass that fol-
lowed is still talked about by oid-time
Kentuckians. Mr.. Brown was an ora
tor of the highest order. Opposed TO
him was another orator, a very much
older man. It was thought the young
ster would have no chance to win. but
he drew his opponent into Joint debates
all over the district and riddled him
mercilessly. When the votes were
counted it was found that Brown had
been elected by a more than comfort
able majority.
Some days later he went to Wash
ington where he was denied admission
because he was under age. Il refer you
TO my constituents, gentlemen" was
his reply. Nevertheless, he was forced
to wait nearly a year before being
seated. Mr.. Brown was elected 10 9th
err congresses, and in 1891, after many
years of private life. he was nominated
for governor Of Kentucky and elected.
And. it may be added. he made a most
brilliant record in the executive chair.
II is not at all likely that the per
formance Of Governor Brown vim ever
be duplicated. Certainly, with all due
respect 10 Mr.. Feeley of Illinois and
his biographer, Mr.. Fawcett, If never
yet mas been duplicated Success is
ordinarily one Of the most reliable Of
journals. but on this occasion it has
been led unwittingly into an error.

MAKING TROUBLE FOR MILES.

TIE ANNOUNCEMENT that General
1 Miles would be court-martialed on
a charge Of having betrayed official
secrets in connection with the case Of
Lieutenant Arnold has been denied. If
the administration knows when it is
well or it will not attempt to humiliate
the commanding geuer,il by any court
martial proceedings. 1t is charged
that he gave Senator Culberson of
Texas Information regarding atrocities
committed or permitted by Lieutenant
Arnold In the Philippines.
During d speech in the senate the
Texan referred to the Arnold case, and
il was apparent from the actions of the
opposition that they were greatly sur
prised at the alusion. Senator Bever-
idgc of Indiana at once demanded the
source Of Senator Culberson's infOrma-
ton The latter declined TO answer.
Finally, Mr.. Beveridge asked Senator
CulbersOH 20 state explicitly whether
or not General Miles had furnished the
report. and Senator Culberson declined
to be interrupted. Before adjournment
however. Mr.. Culbersou stated that
General Miles had not directly or indi-
rectly. furnished the information
And what II he had? The Arnold
case was a matter Of departmental rec
ord. Secretary Root and his under
liues had no more right to conceal It
than any other public servant has TO
conceal a public record. Genera. Miles
had every right To give the information
20 Senator. Culberson or to any one else.
Tn doing so he would have violated no
code of ethics or of morals. The policy
Of suppression and evasion IS being
carried TO the unbearable point by the
administration and its friends,
II President Roosevelt wants to make
General Miles the most popular man in
the United States. ne will order him
court-martiaied. Further. he win con-
Wet him of giving out information that
every citizen in the land is entitled to
as a matter of right. and then a storm
OF indignation viii follow that win
give the Democrats a first mortgage on
the next house of representatives. and
perhaps on the presidency in 1904, as
we'll
President Roosevelt, by his persistent
attempts TO belittle Miles has already
made q naturally unpopular man a good
deal Of hero. Roosevelt is a good
enough politician to realize this now,
and il is hardly likely that the suggest
ed Court-martial will be ordered.

EXIT THE mILKmAlD.

HE BEAUTEOUS NILKMAID Of
whom poets have sung seems
destined to be thrust out of existence.
Perhaps within the next few years the
fair young damseI who was wont to
sit upon a three-legged stool by the
side of a patient bovine and brthely
extract from its natural reservoir more
or less quarts Of Tactical fluid, viii be
known no more forever on this earth.
And the patient hired hand, routed out
Of bed while yet darkness covered the
earth in order that he might so yawn-
ingly about milking six or eight cows,
may snOoze an hour longer, for a cow
milking machine has been invented.
Details of the continuance have not
been accurately disclosed, but it is said
to work much more successfully thana
the old method. a sort of pneumatic
pump system is used the milk stream
ing from the cows BIDDER through rub
Der tubes into a pail set where it can
not be kicked over in moment of
bovine playfulness. Where it took one
man an hour TO milk half a dozen cows
by hand. the same man can extract all
the milk cleanly from a dozen animals
in less than half that time.
From an onerous detail of farm life
milking win become a recreation,
pleasure to be sought after and en-
ioyed. 1t is said that the cows don't
object in the least unless the mixer
happens TO get on the wrong side.
There is a right side and a wrong side
from which 10 milk any COW. Just
why this should be, science does not
record, but everybody who has tried to
milk can testify to the correctness of
the statement. All well regulated COWS
kick strenuously if approached on the
wrong side and no man viii ever re-
peat the operation.
The passing of the milkmaid Will be
regretted-chiedy by those who have
never seen the lady. The mllkmaid of
the poet is a young woman with Won
derful complexion, beautiful features.
and a form divine. She has been de-
scribed as a goddess in calico but
alas for the veracity of the poet. she
is largely a Pigment of the imagination.
In the first place most Of the
milking is done by the men
In the second place, women who do
milking usually do so much other work
that they have little time for personal
adornment.
The Herald does not like to puncture
a pretty dream, but if the truth were
told nine men out of ten would as soon
/ stop and talk TO a wooden Indian as
to the average milkmaid. Please bear
I in mind, however. that exceptions are
numerous, and The Herald herewith
/ reserves every one Of them.
