Our National Folly.

A newspaper agitation has been on week or more all over the country for 9 sensible celebration of the Fourth of July We have observed this with the hopeless interest with which pec- pie study the unattainaple. It is all right to talk about, and it would be better yet to have. but it is impossible. Few individuals know how to improve holiday and no nations do. We are among the least successful in this mat ter, and the Fourth is the most abused of all the holidays we attempt. It makes one shudder to think of the bright eyes of today that will be blown out day after tomorrow. of the unof- lending wayfarers who will be shot down in cold blood by the didn't-Know- it-was-loaded fool. of the property that will be destroyed by fires set 6y the thoughtlessness of celebrators. and of the grief and sorrow that will surely date from the coming happy day.
 There does not seem to be any way to stop the folly It will go on from bad to worse until on the great day itself bedlam will break loose and fire departments and hospitals will be busy This general slaughter has no known relation to the declaration. It is inane and dangerous in the highest degree. and yet it cannot any more be stepped than a river can. If some community should announce that the day would be observed there with enforced quiet, and that those who spent the day there might rest assured of peace, there would be a rush thither, but among the visitors there would almost cer- tainly be enough who brought explo- sives to wreck the pleasure of the others. It is in human nature. The only thing to do is to brace up, dodge the bullets, keep your eyes shut, turn on the water and hope for the best.

In dealing with the university scan dal Governor Brodie can safely bear in mind the fact that no active aspirant for place on the board of regents should be appointed without unusually close scrutiny of his qualifications.

The people of Arizona cannot afford to have the territorial university con- stantly involved in petty scraps of the district school variety. It ought not to be impossible to find men who as officers and regents would have a proper conception of their duties and the dignity of their positions.

Pail Mall Gazette, without

hot months he always went
weather permitting to his little

meals were taken at the villa, his
dinner being prepared by his
faithful cook in the vatican
kitchen. When ready it was put
into a species of small stove,
which was inclosed in a wicker
case, confined by a paddock, the
keys of which were kept only by
the cook and his holiness. When
the dinner arrived at the villa the
key was handed to Pho Contra,
the pontiff's valet, and the papal
table was at once prepared.

did you ever hear of a color

social proclivities of the crowd
around the table, according to
the New York Times.
"COlored people, do you mean?'
said an anxious inquirer.
"COurse not. Everybody has
heard of them. What / mean is a
color party. But you never did, or
you wouldn't be asking questions.
I'll just tell you about it so that
the next time you are asked you'll
know something. 1t happened in

given by a friend of mine to Lieut..

me to think about that, or thatmy
own name was Brown, but when
l went in and spoke to Mr.. Green
and was introduced to Mr.. Blue,
and right along afterward met a
Miss Black and a Miss White,
and a Mrs. Gray and a Mr.. Violet,
it kind of struck me as funny and
l shunted over to one side to get
on to the color scheme, so tn
speak. Everybody else seemed to
be as interested as / was by this
time, and pretty soon we got ia
talking about it, and then we went
after the host. OF course he
couldn't conceal the joke he had
put up on us, and we all begar
comparing names. They were all
there right enough-the Grays
and Whites and Blacks anG
Browns and Violet and his wife
and a Mr.. Purpell, and a CIR
named Pink and her brother, ant
a Miss Scarlet and her mother
and Mr.. and Mrs. Redd and the
Misses Redd, and Mr.. and Mrs
VermilliOn, and of course Greer
and Blue. There were others
don't recall now, but the man whC
took the prize was Mr.. Hugh DYE
though Miss Ruby Scarlet was ,
close second. We had a lot of fu1
over the chromatic idea of thu
host, and in honor of the occasion
when we went out to supper Mr.
Blue escorted Miss Redd and Mis-
White. Some one suggested tina.
it should be called a rainbo7

LAssoING A BUFFALO.

Meat That Trip.

Meat That Trip.
The fare provided for steam
boat crews on the Missouri river
boats in early days was extreme
ly plain and scanty. In the Ellis
tory of Steamboat Navigation on
the Missouri River" the author
tells of a boat commanded by
Capt. LaBarge, the crew of which
got very tired of their daily ra-
tons of salt pork and bread. As
they got into the buffalo country,
Capt. La Barge told them that
they should have the first buffalo
they saw, even if they had to lie to
half a day to get it.
Capt. La Barge had as first
mate an excellent man named
John Durack. He had been on the
river before, but had never been
engaged in a buffalo hunt, and the
captain thought this a good Op-
portunity to initiate him. When
the boat reached the vicinity OF
Handy's Post four buffalo bulls
were seen swimming the river.
"Man the yawl, john" said
Capt. LaBarge. 81 will go with
you, and we will have a buffalo
before we get back"
The captain gave orders to the
men on the boat to shoot the buf
falOes, and he would then lassOC
one of the wounded ones and drag
it to the boat. He put Durack IL
the bow with a line while he tool
the rudder.
The men on the steamboat free
and wounded two of the buffalOes
To get them the boat had to pas
close to the two uninjured ones
The captain supposed that Dur
ack understood the programme
but the mate was not familia

and to LaBarge's co%nsternatiOl
slipped the moose over the head o
I one of the uniniured animals
Too late Capt. La Barge shoute,
to him not to do this; that he di,

falO.
ooh" replied Durack, "he's a
good as any"
The buffalo kept straight on /
his course. The men backed thei
oars, but to no purpose they coul
not stop him. Finally his fee
touched bottom, and up the ban
he went with the boat and its hell
less crew after him. They Nigh

There stood the sorry crev

sumed in getting back to the boa
and repairing the broken yawl.

In the feverish restlessness OF the Lon

different to the calm. moonlit stiffness OF
the previous night in rural England, l
wrote a long explanatory letter to my love
I admitted that 1 had wronged her by my
apparent GOODNESS and indifference. but
sought to excuse myself on the ground OF
the pressure Of work upon me. She knew
we'll that l was not a rich man, and In that
slavery to which l was now tied had an
object-the object l had placed before her
in the dawning days Of our ahection-
namely, the snug country practice with an
old-fashioned comfortable house In one OF
the quiet villages or smaller towns In the
Midlands. In those days she had been just
as enthusiastic about it as ! had been. She
hated town life, l knew; and even II the

all their exaggerations. The gossiping
circle in falkland about Earl's Court was
bad enough, but the Rcdciifo Square set,
being slightly higher in the social scale,
was Infinitely worse.
"Oh! all the ill-nR.ured people are com

not long ago, you used to be seen every
where with Et~helwynn, and now no one ever

Of course said the fair-haired, fussy little
woman, whose married state gave her the
right to censure me on my neglect.
"~Ethelwynn is, Of course. still with you?'
I asked, in anger that outsiders should seek
to interfere in my private affairs"

me she intended doing So"
I had received no letter from her. In
deed, our recent correspondence had been
of a very infrequent and formal character.

 If it's true that your son has lost his voice you might send him up here for few weeks

RED AND SOME OTHER coLoRs.

A reader writes to the New York Sun to ask what there is, if anything, in the color red that has made so many friends and enemies.
 Among the things he would like to know are: Why is red always used as a danger signal? Why do the only peo- pie that declare themselves against all government take as their emblem the red flag? Why are animals excited by red-as in bull fights? Is man excited to a certain degree in the same way?
 will some kind reader" he asks give me his opinion of the effects of red on the mind, and on people who are insane?" Finally, he wishes to learn whether there is not a hidden danger in handling red SO carelessly before and around children?''
 To give this person all the lnforma- ton he seeks would take too much time It may answer his purpose if he is tod that, although red has bad name because of its association with certain matters that have a bad odor, it is no more unfortunate in this re- spect than some colors that he seems to think more respectable.
