GRAIN GAMBLING DEBTS.

Philadelphia Press: Peter Jansen
Of Nebraska has escaped the payment
of his notes for SO, 600 by pleading
that they were given to a Chicago firm
for losses incurred by speculating In
grain options. The Nebraska supreme
court held that such speculations were
mere gambling and that the debt
could not be collected. The Chicago
brokers had to pay all that loss ex-
cepting their commissions. This is
hard on them. but 1t would be q good
thing for the public If every state
were to hold such transactions as
gambling and the contracts concern
ing them unenforcible by by law.

More good news for the democratic

Nebraska Independent: The presi-
dent appointed VIM. Buchanan as
minister to Panama without any
authority from CONGRESS -.and without
any appropriation to pay his salary
or expenses. 90 1t, Teddy, this coun-
try likes strenuousness. Constitutions

you want anything just issue your
order and an obedient congress will
pass the law afterwards.

Fish and the nait.

In a book on fishing W. S. Hodgson,
an English sportsman, argues that
when a fish OF the salmon kind or a
pike takes a real minnow impaled on
a fight Of hooks or a manufactured
thing resembling a minnow the fish is
moved less by a desire to eat than by
a desire 10 kill. He derives this i'm
preston from the fact that "a salmon
or a trout. like a pike, will leave a
whole shoal of minnows undisturbed
and rush at an impaled minnow or a
phantom" A critic of the book says
surely this is very far fetched. Fish
and birds of prey, like human beings
are averse TO unnecessary trouble, and
as it is easier 10 catch wounded crea.
ture than fresh one a peregrine will
take an injured grouse or a pike a
tethered or spinning bait when it comes
in his way. not because Of the instinct
which leads wild animals to kill the
weaker brethren, but. from the natural
tendency to take the goods the gods
provide you in the shape Of a cheaply
earned and easy NEAL 1t may be
added that old guides Of northern Wis
consin hold with Mr. Hodgson that tho
skeliunge strikes the bait ordinarily
only when be feels savage and desire:
to kill something.

The Japanese mother-in-Iaw.

The mother-in-law is the most mo-

Japan. A woman prays that she may
become a mother-in-law, because it is
only in that capacity that she is ever
allowed to show human weaknesses.
These are not, as one might imagine,
at the expense Of her sondn-law, be-

Japape.c conception Of Poetry.

A western poet wandering through a
pine forest at night and suddenly per-
ceiving in the utter darkness a CLEAN
Of silver light might compare the
moon shining 10 some fairy palace with
glittering window panes-in short, to
some object Of his experience or i'm
agination. The Japanese poet, on tho
other hand, would compare the gltrA-
mering light to "a moonlit crag Of
Fusiyama."
The Japanese always remains an OBJ
server. He never becomes one with
nature. He does not possess the
faculty Of endowing inanimate objects
with life. To invest clouds and woods
with human Thoughts and desires. as.
for instance. Shelley has done. seems
bald and meaningless to him, and such
a sentence as Aurora, yelling herself
IN clouds, like a blushing girl" he
would consider in very bad taste. He
looks at the world with the eyes OF an
ideal realist. or. rather, OF an impress
slonist. Life passes like the dissolving
views OF magic lantern. showing one
beautiful landscape after the other.

for an exquisite Observation-Disclosures.
