ENGLAND's NEW PREMIER.

Lord Salisbury.
The retirement of Lord Salisbury, pre-

Victorian era in British politics and re-

Director Waicott OF the theological Sur
vey has written long letter to the Civil
Service Commission asking Tor permission
to employ the services of 4 competent
hen that win lay one egg day for tue
survey. The egg is needed for making
the albumen coating for photo-lithrgraph-
ic work. The letter states that thu sur
vey is in immediate need Of an egg and
says: In making a requisition on the
Interior Department for an egg We al
ways experience much delay In getting
authority TO purchase from the lowest
bidder, and the goods. owing to the moth
DDS of purchase, are not always ia prime
condition. 1t would seem wise, there
fore, to take some definite steps IN the
matter. The hen of the United States
Geological Survey should be capable OF a
steady daily output. One egg per day is
all we ask, but there should be no ques-
ton about its delivery on time" The
Civil Service Commission will give the
request careful consideration.

Washington is at this time and season
a great educational center. Millions Of
documents designed to enlighten the vot-
ers of the land are being prepared and
shipped to constituents. Nearly every
member of Congress has one or more
speeches delivered by him in the House
ami Senate which he desires TO distrib-
ute. They may be remarks upon the
great question of the day or merely a
spread npon some local subject, but the
Congressman does not think thst he has
done his duty unless he plasters his dis
trict or State with speeches. If he did
not his constituents would ask him upon
his return what he had been doing in
Wash. qgtOn. The speeches go through
the mail free, of course, but it is quite
a task to get them ready for shipment.
They are taken from the capitol by wag-
on loads at a time, and for the next two
weeks the mail trains leaving Washing
ton will carry extra cars to accommodate
the increased traffic. In addition 10 the
large volume of political literature sent
out by individual Senators and Repre-
sentativeS, th@ two campaign commit
tees will distribute this year millions of
pamphlets In the presidential cam
paign of 1896 the Republican committee
sent out 22,00o,00o documents. No such
number will be distributed this year. but
the total will probably reach several mill
ion, and the Democrats will do as well.

LEW DocKsTADER's LATEST.
The Adventures of Two Black-faced
Artists in Paris.

Lew Dockstader has a new story. Here
II Is. as told In the Springfield Union.
/ Last season a couple Of black-face
! knockabout comedians went over TO
Paris from this country, says Dock
stader. TO see whether the French
men would stand a turn where one of
the actors carelessly sticks an ak into
the top of his partners head and for
all the other knock-abOut gags that are
50 familiar 10 vaudeville audiences in
/ the United States. They realized that
the act would probably be a bit start
/ ling to the b0uievardiers. and thew
I had fixed themselves with return tick
cts TO New York "a case they didn't
! make good.
The manager of the Paris theatre
refused To sign a contract. or even to
promise them work for any definite
/ time until they had gone on and the
/ public had voted the turn good or
bad.
But, one of the black-faced boys
said 10 the manager this isn't very
businesslike deal We came over here
al great expense. and put on a brand
new act IN your house, and maybe we
can stay only one night. is that right2'
them '1
But how are we to know whether
we are so or not? the comedian
asked him.
Then the manager explained that It
was the custom Of the Paris theatres
10 place a playful before the house
every day, announcing in large tyne
the show for that night If their names
were on the bill the morning after they
first went on, he explained, they would
be all right. If not, il was then to
the wharf Well, they went on and did
their turn, but they couldn't ten
whether the house liked it or not. Some
OF the mob yelled approval and the rest
yelled other things, but it was all in
French, and they didn't know but that
most OF the house was requesting them
10 retire 10 the extreme rear and be
seated.
They had a room opposite the the
atre- ana the next morning they were
both afraid to raise the shade and take
look at the Playful in front of the
theatre. Finally one of them got his
nerve UP and raised the curtain. He
took one fash at the bill, and then
turned around
It's all Off, Bill he says to his
partner, shaking hands solemnIy. we
did our best, but they wouldn't stand
for us
What's the matter? says Bill.
Amt our names uD?'
No, the other fellow replied. The
sign over there says: Less negroes
oh, go ON howled Bill, who knew
little French. We're savedi We're
saved! Les Negroes" means US. and
We're going on again tonight.
Then they fell on each others necks
and weDt for joy"

London Seriously
Regards Smallpox.

LONDON, January Lett cannot be
said that London regards the presence
Of smallpox with an easy feeling. AL
though some days are more favorable
than Others. still there is no use deny
ing the fact that the disease has quite
a grip on the metropolis.
One encouraging feature is that be-
levers in vaccination are increasing
by thousands every day. There is an
enormous demand for the lymph used
by doctors. One laboratory which turns
out lymph ready for use cannot sup
ply it's own customers. though 1t man
ufactures 5000 tuDes a day. This Is
but one single establishment.
One effect of the scare has been that
all the big stores are insisting that
their employees shall be revaccinated,
even though they have submitted to
the operation within a year. This is
done in order to infuse confidence In
the customers.
1t has been pointed out by number
of London newspapers that action
should he taken by the authorities to
insure the cleanliness .of public con-
veyances.
Particularly is this the case with
omnibuses and trans. which are pat
ronlzed SO largely by the masses, and
which are filthy.
