WhiStIinS Women.

Few women ever learn to whistle
well, yet all make a stagger at it. The
school where they do most of their prac-
ticing is in the street. Puckered lips
beneath picture hats is no uncommon
sight, and in many cases the cosial
contraction is by no means unbecOming.
If a girl is already blessed with a pref
ty face, a whistling mouth from which
issue soft notes of the Lohengrin we'd
ding march does not dectract from its
general wholesomeness, and even a plain
face is made no palmer by the exercise.
But the woman who whistles is pub
lie does it with no thought of the pro-
motion of physical loneliness. She
whistles unconsciOusly. Sometimes ex-
cess of thought drives her to it, ONE
times lack Of thought but whatever the
cause of the habit the woman who
whistles seldonm knows when h does
1t Her manner of whistling proves
that. Generally her whistling resolves
Itself into a mere emission of breath
which is gaSpy rather than musical, yet
soft and not entirely disagreeable. Oc-
casionally we meet a whistler with pow
er in her lungs and tunes in her head,
and by the way she pipes out the merry
lays is a caution. People turn to look
at a woman whistler of that kind. Wo
men who go about with a whiStled air
on their lips are said to be good natur-
ed. If that rule applies universally
there must be a lot of men in this town
where homes are a virtual paradise;
for many are the women who have the
whistling habit.-Exchnge.

The Alabama Decision.

The supreme court in its decision on
now that the text is published, decided
both more and less han was originally
assumed.
Whether the Alabama election sys-
tenn, it's execution n the exclusion of
negroes under it, each or all, are uncon-
s%titutional the court did not decide. This
remains open. Neither did the court
decide whether or no congress could by
special legislation reach the exclusion
of the negro in Alabama. Both these
issues, the constitutionality of the Ala
bama system and the power of congress
to deal with it, are left undecided.
All the court did hold is that a poll
teal wrong cannot bS reached under
equity jurisdiction invoked by the ne
gro refused registration. The court
cannot place Alabama in the hands of
a receiver. If the registration there Is
fraudulent it cannot be curede by plac-
ing one more name on it. If it is not
the court ought not to act. A wrong
has been lone. The court admits that.
But in the absence Of action by congress
the general framework OF constitution
al and legal rights, duties and privileges
and the equity power of the court give
no remedy for a political wrong which
no statute has made a crime.
The supreme court, in short, finds it
self much in the plight and position of
the rest Of the country. A grave politi-
cal wrong has been committed under
cover Of law. No e%ffectual remedy yet
appears which will not lead to worse
evils than the original abuse. Without
conceding in any way either the Validi-
ty Of the principle or the wisdom of the
practice which has worked this wrong,
public opinion sees no remedy and
as yet propose none.-Philadelphia

Cleveland Not the Only One.

The Detroit Free Press, like the
Brooklyn Eagle, is an independent
gold standard democratic paper, and
IAN ardent admirer of MI. Cleveland,
but the Free Press declares that
when The Eagle expresses the opinion
that Mr.. Cleveland is the only man,
who can aSsuredly lead the party to
in 904 it admits by implica-
|tion that President Roosevelt will be
|triumphantly reelected. There is as
little probability of Grover CleveIand's
becoming a candidate for President
|again as there is of his becoming a
candidate for Pope to succeed the ven
|erable Leo XIII. A small but noisy
element in the party persists in con-
juring with the name of the former
president, but nobody is likely to have
less sympathy with these activities
than he himself We believe The Free
Press diagnoses the case with a greater
approach to accuracy than is evinced
by The Eagle.-Washington Post.

A Trihe Mean.

They were talking about the various
types of human hat had
come under their respective observa-l
ton and were descanting upon them
as everybody has a perfect right to do
when the exemplars thereof are not
present, says The Philadelphia En-
quirer:
by gum aid one, old Slug Rob
inson is the meanest mar I know. He
won't wash his hands because he hates
to lose the dirt on them"
He must be a blood relation of a
man that used to own a farm on the
hillside above the farm where l was
raised" said a second. L remember
one spring he wanted to sue my father
for $40, h price of an acre Of ground
that he claimed had been washed off
off his place On to fathers by the win
but he couldn't find a lawyer that would
take the case"
He isn't much meaner than the dea-
con of the church I used to attend"
said a third. He paid the sexton only
a dollar a month for taking care of the
church, and then wanted to charge
him for the o p that he wore out ring
Ing the bell"
I'll bet he was first cousin to a chap
1 used to know" said a fourth, who
wouldn't chew tobacco because he
couldn't afford to lose the juice"
He's the same one, inquired a
fifth, who spoiled a fox terrier by not
cutting off his tail, because he didn't
want to waste so much dog, amt hep

Il thought so. 1 know his brother.
He yes in st. Louis. Has two of his
clerks boarding with him, and when
his wife died a year ago he asked them
to sit up with the body and then
charged them extra for burning gas
after midnight"

narrator bowed his acknowledgements.

She Knew Patrick.

Chaplain Edward Vattman, u. S. A,
recently returned to Washington from
the Philippines and relates with con-
siderable humor his experience with
an elderly Irish woman whose son is
numbered among the missing, says the
New York Tribune. The young man,
Patrick by name, a private by rank
and a Washingtonian, was captured
Isome time ago by ladrones, and when
last seen was being taken into the
mountains strapped to a fierce looking
Filipino. Father Vattman learned the
particulars and when he returned to
Washington called upon the bereaved
mother to break the news. Her in
tuition assisted him, for she said i'm
imediately:
You've come t tell me of Patrick,
father.
Yes" said the priest; and my good
woman, you, must remember that
Whom the Lord loveth He chasten-
ETH; In the midst of life we are in
death, but the Lord comforts the af-
|fic1ed.'"-
Yes. yes father" interrupted Pat
rick's mother; but tell me the news
father, dear"
We'll, my poor woman" said the
priest. sorrowfully, the last we heard
of poor Patrick, he was strapped to O
Filipino and being taken into the
mountains
My! N.Y. exclaimed the sorrowful
lmother; God have mercy upon the
poor Fillypiny that's strapped to my
lPatrick!"

He Also Could be Frugal.

The stingiest man in the town of
Granville had sent for John Briggs to
discuss a matter of Importance, says
The Youths Companion. When Mr..
Briggs entered the room it was light
ed by one dim candle only.
Its a bright, starlight night" said
his host, and we don't need the candle
to talk by" Whereupon he blew it out
as soon as his guest had found a seat.
The room was pitch dark, and the
conversation was long. When it was
over, the host lighted the candle again
to show his visitor out.
well, well, sir, this is a strange
sight" he clustered, for Mr.. Briggs
was minus coat, w~aistcoat, collar and
necktie.
I'll put them on now you've lighted
the CANDLE said Mr.. Briggs, calmly.

Wore Both Sets.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who has the
unique honor of commanding a dollar

at the literary dinner recently given
him in London, OF his experience as a
Juror in his youth, says The Philadel-

about a certain woman.

He COuldn't Reverse,

Bishop Mallalieu, h distinguished
Methodist, is noted for the interest
that he takes in mems ives and pur-
suits, says The Boston Post. An indie
Ifatiguable student and an incorrigible
questioner, he has an extraordinary
knowledge Of many out of the way and
unlikely things.
One day in Boston the Bishop enter
ed into conversation with a sailor on
IA street corner. He asked the man, as
is his wont, questions about his life
how old he was, what pay he got,
whether he drank and whether ne was
married. Then, getting technical, he
questioned the sailor about his work

Finally he said:

Now reverse it," said the bishop.
Smiling, the sailor reversed it.
Good, good" said Bishop Mallalieu,
and he was about to depart. But the
sailor detained him and began to ask
Questions in his turn. First they were
personal questions regarding the Bish-
ops age, salary and tastes; then they
became technical questions, regarding
the number of pages in the Bible, the
shortest verse, the longest verse and
all those other things that to a sailor
would seem necessary to a bishops ed
ucation. Mr.. Mallalieu, smiling, re-
piled to every question fully.

This the Bishop did
