Mr.. HILLS RETIREMENT.
IL Is Fortunate for Him, but Its Man
ner 10 Not the Bsst.

David Bennett Hill announces that he
will at the end OF his sixty-frst year re-
tire from politics. but that he viii take
q part in the present campaign. The mis-
take that Mr.. Hill makes is that he does
not retire now. This is one Of the things
he said in his recent opening campaign
speech at Binghamton, New York:
That vast corruption exists In many de-
partments Of the Federal Government Is
virtually conceded II has been declared
often that more corrupt ion has been dis
closed during the last -four years than dur
ing the whole previous period OF our his
tory Therefore IL must exist or 1t could
not be disclosed. Convictions for frauds.
however, can be counted on ones fingers.
The Republican party tends toward social
ism when IL advocates the right to build
up one mans business at the expense Of
the community. What the American people
demand is free field aud a fair contest in
the race OF life.
1t is perhaps fortunate for Mr.. Hill
that he has decided to disappear from
politics. 1t is most unfortunate, for his
sake, that in his speech, practically open
ing the campaign on the Democratic
side, he should have been guilty of polit-
ical falsehood. That is not the manner
in which good American should sing
his swan song.
clares that enormous corruption exists
under the present Republican administra-
ton, and intimates vaguely that the Re
publican party is responsible for any evil
which may have occurred. He refers
especially to frauds of the Postoffice De-
partment, and there were some frauds.
We at least admit this. Into every
great party will necessarily be ingrafted
some thieves. What has happened in
the United States following the discov-
cry that some officials of the Postoffice
Department were indirectly stealing ?
What has happened is this:
The Republican party Furnishes its
own thieves and throws them out of its
ranks. What happened to the men who
stole under the present administration
They are already wearing striped clothes
and doing the lockstep in various locali-
ties. Could there be a better proof Of
the soundness and honesty of the present
administra ton in that it Furnishes its own
sinners, and, very properly. Furnishes
them to the utmost.
David Bennett Hill, in intimating that
there has been unpublished crime among
the vassals of the party which is conduct
ing the affairs of this government just
now. is guilty of political trickery and
political falsehood of the baldest kind
1t is very earnestly to be regretted
that an exceedingly clever American
should mar the circumstances of his exit
from political life by expressions of what
are not facts, and Of sort never coun-
tenanced by the greatest leaders of great
parties. What Mr.. Hill said at Bing-
hamton cannot mar the outlook of the
Republican party one jot or little, but it
can mar the respect which the American
people held, aside from all party lines.

SLY OLD DAVID.
Unique Position Now Occupied by
Judge Parker's Manager.

1t is not often that a political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out of office
and be unrepresented in the councils Of
his friends in case of the success of his
own nominee, This unique performance
has been exemplhed by the Mephisto-
pheles of the Democratic party, David
Bennett Hill.
The effect is rather grotesque. 1t is
much as If the king of the nursery rhyme
we're to declare that he would not, in
any case taste OF the pie. after the four
and twenty blackbirds had been caught,
plucked and baked in big dish of pastry.
The reception given TO the promise
of Mephistopheles to "be good after
the LIST OF next January" is rather com
ical. The more outspoken Of the Demo
Gratis say plainly, "Pshawl ! don't be-
lieye itp while the more secretiye ones
simply wink the other eye with a
grimace that would make the fortune Of
the man that ''broke the bank at Monte
Carlo"
1t is a sly old David, so it is! Well he
knows how to draw the ASS skin over
his own; confident is he that no braying
will hide from the faithful few his real

THE CREATION OF WOMAN.
Legend of the Orient Which Reflects Much Upon the Dignity
 of the Sex.

Here is the legend told among the Turkish peasants, explaining the origin of women, says the Los Angeles Times.
 Allah made First Man, then dis covered that he was incomplete.
 q must make Woman" said Al lah, So he sent fer the Arehangel Michael, and said to him:
 q find that Man is incomplete. Go you to Paradise, and take from Man one rib, and from that l shall make Woman
 So Michael hurried to Paradise and found First Man asleep, and took rib from him. Then he set out on his return to Heaven. But on the way he met the Devil, who said:
 'What have you there, Mi chael?"
 "A bone," he answered, "from which Allah shall fashion Wom- an."
 'Let me look at it." said the Devil
 But Michael would not, where upon the Devil tried to take it, and the two fought for possession of First Mans rib. Finally the Devil broke away and ran with the rib i'll his hand. Michael gave chase, and they ran around the world several times.
 Then the Devil saw hole in d rock and he diyed in. But the hole was too small, and he stuck fast inside, leaving only his tail out side. Michael pulled the Devils tail to get him out, and the Devil yelled inside, but he couldn't get out. And, although Michael

GOGGLES FOR CHICKENS.
Intended as a Means of Protecting Eyes from Assaults of Pugna-
 eieus Birds.

Among the recent inventions which have been brought out in the name of humanity to our dumb animal or bird friends is a pair of goggles to be placed on chickens to prevent them from picking out the eyes of one an other, reports Science Siftings. \ couple of pugnaciously inclined birds on a farm can do a lot of harm to the others, and, as a pro tection against damage being sus- tained to the eyes, it is proposed to equip the members of the flock with goggles.
 The shape of these protectors is such that by springing them apart and placing them over the head of the bird they will stay there of their own accord. The frames are fitted with disks of glass or mica.
 These spectacles are designed for very high bred fowls, and are meant to protect the owners from loss as well as the chickens from hurt.

ODoR OF DIFFERENT RACES.
Effiuvial Peculiarities of Natic nali- ties, Vegetarians, Meat-Eat-
 CTS and Animals.

A Japanese physician has been making some remarkable obser. vations among Europeans. This doctor, observes Medical Talk, says that Europeans have an odor peculiar to themselves, and it is not at all pleasant to the people of the orient.
 This Dr. Burtaro Adacli, of Jap an, states that the western people have natural odOr that, while it is not perceived by themselves, is very perceptible to the yellow race. The Japanese and Chinese who take Up their residence among Europeans at first can hardly tolerate this odor. but they finally become habituated to it and it is not so obnoxious.
 Different species of animals horses, dogs, eats, etc.=and the different races of men possess a characteristic odor In some races this odor is more noticeable than in others The Chinese and Japanese have little orno odorous emanation. This is doubtless a racial peculiarity, although it is reasonable 10 believe that their habits of diet may have much to do with it, as they eat very little meat.
 II has been claimed that among the white races those who eat meat can be distinguished from the yegetarians by the emanation from their bodies, the odor of the meat eater being much more pro- nounced than that of the vegetari- an. The Japanese are chiefly veg. etarians and this may account for the fact that their skin exhales odors that are scarcely percepti- ble Then also the Japanese wear loose flowing garments, while the white races as a rule wear more clothing and tighter clothing, thus producing more abundant perspi. ration.

ORCHIDS GROWN AT HOME.
The Halo of Romance Surrounding Some Regal Blooms Com
 pletely Shattered.

If there Is any popular fallacy that 1 should love to puncture, it is the amiable delusion that all orchids are worth q thousand dol lars a pot, says q writer in Coun- try Life in America.
 Great was my surprise, some years ago, when 1 met a suburban ite of modern income who grew orchids that were the talk of the town in a little 10x12 greenhouse.
 As his wife was too much of an invalid to look after the green. house, my friend watered the plants every morning and adjust. ed the ventilators before he caught the ' :59 express for the big city, and at night he came home to see what had happened. Usually no great disaster had be fallen.
 And in February, if you were lucky enough to be invited to his snug little greenhouse, while winter storm ragged outside, you would be likely to find some gor- geous catteYas, with perhaps 20 flowers on a plant and each Sowpt fully eight or nine inches across.
 You should have heard the la dies exclaim How do you grow these lovely orchids, Mr. H."
 "O, the kinds l cultivate are as easy to raise as any other pIants.'
 But don't you have to have a special kind of house? ?"
 Not for these. You see, I have other plants beside orchids"
 "Well, how does it come that your greenhouse is so comfort able? Don't all those tropical or chids need a hot, close atmos- phere?a
 Not the kinds that grow high up on the mountains.
 But thought they all lived on the air, and here you have some i'll common flower pots
 ssAes, those lady slippers are as easy to grow as q geranuim."
 This was where my friend near ly lost his reputation. He was a simple-hearted man who had early fallen into a way of telling the truth without thinking, and found the habit hard to break after at taining the age of sophistication.
 He came near shattering the halo of romance with which these ladies had invested the magic word orchid" which applies to some of these regal flowers, at least, that can be grown in the do nestle greenhouse.

tugged for several days, he could not pull out the Devil, nor could he reach in and get the rib. So he pulled out a knife, cut off the Dey- il's tail and hurried on to Heaven.
 "What have you. there?" cried Allah.
 Then Michael told his story, and Allah was very angry. But he made the best of it, and fashioned Woman out of the Devils tail in stead of First Mans rib.
