TOURISTS FUNNY REMARKS
One Woman Wanted to Know If the Grand Canyon Was Open Sum
 days-"Fried Cupids."

Burton Holmes has been travel ing in the summers and telling of his travels during the winters for dozen years. During that time he has visited almost every coun- try on the globe, and now that hc is in New York, he is ,ntinually meeting friends whom he first met in Japan, Alaska, Hawaii. India. Algeria or some other foreign country.
 "The criticism is sometimes made of the Japanese that they have no religion" said Mr. Holmes, at The Lambs the other day, but the criticism is not well founded. They have religion, which, while simple, is sufficient for their needs, and it has many beautiful features. The reiig.or is known as 'Shinto, or Way of the Gods It is sort of sun wor- ship. and in the temples rising sun is always prominent part of the decorations. In fact. it is about all there is in the temples. Some one once said that there is nothing to see in d Shinto temple, and they won't let you see it."
 Mr. Holmes says that the most interesting feature of his travels has been the other travellers whom 'n has met. The comments that some of them make when gazing lo: the first time on q wonder os nature are eXcruciatingly funny. Thus a woman who gazcd into thc awc-inspiring Grand Canyon Of the Colorado for the first time said: Just as expected: knew ! would be disappointed. It is not I bit liko Colorado Spr'rgs." An, other woman. when buying in San Francisco a round trip ticket to the Grand Canyon. cautiously asked the railroad agent: "Is the canyon open on Sundays?' A third woman gazcd c'Iriausly at Il group of naked Moki Indian chil- dren, who scampercd away at the approach of strangers ard ran up ladders with the agility of mor- keys. their bronze skins clistcning 'n the sun. Then she said: "They look like fried cupids."

Rosy.

The only reason given by the News for opposing GovernorBrady's re-appointmsnt, is that he is wrapped up in agriculture. That may seem a good reason to man who has never been away from the coast and who knows nothing of the possibilities of the interior from an agricultural standpoint. but to one who has seen the coun- try the reason will not stand.
 The editor of the News should know, if he does not, that agricul- ture makes q permanent popula- tion, while mining does not. He should consult statistics and see how much hay, grain, meat and evaporated vegetables go to the in- terior. These supplies are now being raised on small scale in the interior. and there is no reason why the money spent in Seattle for them should not be kept in the country to support an agricultural population. As the country de- velops there is room for plenty of farmers and stock raisers and there will be q market for their produce.
 How in the world man. who is supposed to be favoring the advan- cement of the country, can present the argument that Brady's attempts to deveiol. the agricultural resour- ces oi the country should Le q req son for opposing his. re-appoint- mcnt, is beyond the understanding of any thinking man.

MAKES 4 LIBERAL OFFER,
FrencLman Will Give His Ears, Nose or Skin to Doctors for Graft
 ing Purposes.

Though the recent story abont grafting one mans ear upon an. other mans head. to make good d loss by the latter, proved to hr without foundation. there can be no doubt about the possibility of transferring TOrtions of skin from one human body 10 another. That operation has been per formed with success too many times to be regarded with sl:cpti- ism. On a more limited scale and with less satisfactory results surgeons have spliced yiprcs of bone taken from an animal upon that of human leg or arm.
 The ear-grafting yarn. having been widely circulated ill Europe. has led to remarkable offer. \ Frenchmar has written to su.- geon named Gillanmc Livet. to say that he will sell ears, nose or skin for this purpose.
 In case Dr. Livet dces not reed them in his own practice. the cor, respondent would esteem it a f:,- yor if he would bear lim ii roind in the event of a cOiiea~np rccuir. ing them. He also suggests thai the Academy of Science and t!'. Faculty of Medicine might fn.' use for parts of a living body. If so please let me know, and 1 will be most grateful"
 He adds a postscript to tie ef- feet that the char"es foc parts of his anatomy will be "lnoderatc at first" Indeed. it is cG'y natural 10 suppose that tic r::cez viii ad- vance PrOport.onateiy :o tilr rr !nction of his person.

 Having entered he unceremoni- ously pulled off his mocassins and socks, wrung them out, as uncon- cerned as if he was still upon the Copper and had just arrived at some roadhouse.
 Miping his bare feet on his red bandana, he turned to inspect the surroundings.
 How strange and unreal every thing seemed. He missed the sal mon-scented Siwash, omnipresent at the arrival of all mew corners. He missed, most of all, the "recep- tion-shot" his inner self craved, and he wondered if he was welcome.
 Everybody was silent. No tales were told of new strikes. lest pay ,streaks, lack of water, shortage of grub or bad trails.
 Several men were sitting around who looked like old miners, with nothing to do but Wa until snow flies again, but they said nothing. The silence was oppressive.
 Expectantly he looked towards them, but finding that conversation from that quarter was not forth coming, he made up his mind it was up to himself.
