Senator Teller of Colorado, the al
ways undismayed champion of the sill
yer cause, is always an object of in
terest to visitors to the senate cham
ber His recent alteration with Mr..
Lodge-on which occasion both the dis
tinguished gentlemen behaved some
thing like unruly schoolboys-will be
remembered, but 1t is seldom indeed
that the Colorado statesman forgets
senatorial dignity. Since 1876, with
the exception of the three years 1882 to
1885, when he held the portfolio OF
secretary of the interior in the cabinet
of President Arthur, and a few years
thereafter, Senator Teller has repre-
sented the state Of Colorado in the up
per house. His present term expires
In 1903.
Quiet and reserved in manner,
though genial enough among his asso-
ciates, the senator Is popular with
those whom he comes in contact with
on official business, and age has in no
way impaired his exceptional ability
He is " years old. In politics Senator
Teller is an Independent Silver Repub-

"The ladies of the cabinet" as the
wives of President Roosevelts advis-
ers are called in Washington, have re-
ing the Mckinley administration the
'ladies OF the cabinet held caucus
and agreed to discontinue these fea-
lures of the social life at the capital,
because the Refreshments served at re-
ception cost about $40. No secret was
made of the reason for stopping the
receptions and the cabineL women
came in for a great deal OF criticism.
They were called stingy and inhospi-
table by the wives of rich congressman
and senators, who were in the habit OF
giving dinners at which the favors for,
each guest cost more than did the re-
freshments for a so-called cabinet re-
ception The cabinet women refused
to give in, however, and no receptions
were held until this winter. The wives
of the congressman have end Favored to
get revenge by remaining away from
the rehabilitated functions.

TALKING TO ONES SELF.
Belief Is Common That II Is Symp-
tom of Insanity.

Belief Is Common That 1t Is IA Symp
tom of Insanity.
Talking to ones self has this obvious
advantage over any other form of ora
tory or gossip-one is assured of a
sympathetic audience.
But it has also this peculiar draw
back-it is supposed to be one of the
early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly
SO, perhaps. A mad doctor might rule
the habit out of his diagnosis.
Nevertheless the popular belief is
firmly rooted. And it is for fear of
this belief, doubtless, that we talk to
ourselves, even as we dress our hair
with straws, so rarely. 1t may be said
that we never do address ourselves at
any length except in the delirium Of
fever. In moments of ordinary eX-
citement, of course, we utter to the
wind some sort of appropriate ejacu-
lation. Delight wrings from us a cry
of "Hurrahl" or Thank heaven!'
even though there be none by to echo
us.
/ Similarly in any disgust we emit one
of those sounds whose rather poor
equivalents in print are Ugh" and
"Faugh!" "D-n!" and Tut" Much
farther than this we do not go. Why,
what an ass am r. cries Hamlet in
one of his soliloquies. Omitting tho
first word and transposing the last two
the ordinary modern man does often
soliloquize to that extent. But ho
could no more soliloquize to Hamleta
extent than he could speak in deca'
syllabics.
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that that class of the community witt
which, contemptuous of his own flu
ency, Hamlet compared himself, is or
ever was more prone to soliloquies VIC
cannot accept Hamlet as an unbiased
authority.
We merely find in him the possible
origin of the belief that talking to
ones self is a bad sign.

vaudeville Reformation.

In an article anent the reformation
and elevation of music hall programs
in London, the London Mail says:
Meanwhile the managers are hot on
reform. mo more short-skirted serios
for me- says one. No more red-nosed
comedians. I've done with them as
soon as existing contracts run out.
The disappearance, in fact, Of the
short-skirted serio' has been a remark
able bit of music hall jugglery. She
'lags superfluous' here and there, but
generally speaking, she is as extinct as

ABOUT NEWSPAPER CRITICS.
They Have Fauits, Some of which
Appear to lie Constitutional.

Ihey Have FHuitss some OF Mhton
Appear to lie Constitutional.
The average critic of the newspaper
does not own stock in any newspaper
and does not know the cost of getting
Che news. The chances are that he has
never consciously met reporter Yet
most of what he knows from reading
outside of his own business or profess
sion has been taught him by the news
papers. They show him every day
that the world is not what he wants
1t to be and it is hard for him to learn
their lessons and especially hard to
make allowances for their faults. He
may be lazy they are Industrious for
him; he may be stupid-they are in
telligent for him. he may be timid-
they are bold for him; yet he de
nounces the newspapers.
When reporter. working day and
night, throws the ardor of youth or the
pity of age into tragic scenes from
court where every one with bright
heart was in tears he denounces the
newspapers. When an editorial
/ which he hunts for before breakfast
in order to know what to think i'm
mediately after some momentous trag-
edy-is not exhaustive, he denounces
! the newspapers His especial condem-
nation is bestowed upon what he calls
the vulgar publicity of the newspa-
pers,
! When he reads enough papers or eX''
tends his reading beyond his newspa-
peTs and his business, or, better still,
tries to prevent some injustice, he may
learn that vulgar publicity is often .
safeguard of justice. Good taste and
the modest reserve of private life too
often tempt the critic to shrink from
an open fight with oppression. One OF
the arts of the leading criminals
among politicians is to scare off the
private citizen by warning him that
evil communications corrupt good
manners But public spirit is much
more robust and efficient, says the At
lantic Monthly, when coupled with a
familiar knowledge of the vulgar
world.

at her and one of them said: What
are We doing? Why, we are making a

making a coffin?' For that fellow over

A Eoldlna Life Preserver.

AS the days Of shipwrecks and collisions
at sea have not vet come to an end, so the
inventor is still at work designing life pre-.
servers for use in these emergencies, some
OF the ideas being extremely practical.
while others are mere novelties, too compli-
Gated for actual use when the need arises.
The life-saving apparatus here shown has n
very bulky appearance when In the water,
but les inventor claims that 1t will fold
into small compass when In storage, and
can be instantly prepared for an emergency.
The apparatus consists Of a series of curved
ribs, which are hinged together at the ends
and support a waterproof covering shaped
somewhat like an enlarged football. In the
sides ~ the cover are formed armholcs and
sleeves, and In the bottom is a seat on
which the shipwrecked person may rest,
with the limbs Inserted In the depending
leg-pieces. These latter are shaped some
