RIvRRMEN's SUPERSTITION.

I noticed that many of the riverrnen have been busy cleaning their boats for the last few days. and thinking that it was strange they should do SO at this time of the year asked one of them to tell me the reason for this unusual house cleaning.
 He informed me that it was the be- lief along the river that if the boats were cleaned on Ascension day they re- mained brighter and cleaner than when cleaned on any other day. Rivermen are great believers in signs, but all the boats in this vicinity certainly look spick and span just now.-Albany Journal

SPEAKER GULLY.

The retiring speaker cannot be classed with the strong and dis tinguished occupants of the chair. MT. William Court Gully was an elderly Queens. counsel in the Parliament of 1892, who was understood to be seeking a puisne judgeship; it was even whis- pered that he would not refuse coun- ty count appointment. He was dis covered by Mir. Labboueheer. accord- ing to gossip, and we should imagine that his manners and appearnce had something to do with his selection, for he certainly knew as little of the House of Commons as its members knew of him. Tn the chair he has been urbane and impartial, though the distribution of his patronage in the matter of privileged seats for strangers hes caused good deal of irritation. The speaker no doubts leaves such matters to his underlings; but it is not surpris- ing if members are annoyed when they find the best seat in the distinguished
 strangers gallery reserved for Kaf-
 fir magnatel The training of a lawyer 1 is not bad preparation for the chair
 of the House of Commons, where the speaker is So often called upon to inter- pret the wording of rules and compli-
 cated amendments. And this branch of
 his duties MT. Gully has performed as 1well as any of his predecessors.
 It is in weight and strength of char
 acter that Speaker Gully compared un-
 fayorably with Speakers Brand and | Peel. The speaker is in many ways not
 unlike the headmaster of public
 school. There are some men who seem
 to be born headmasters; something in their voice, their port, and their eye ex-
 tracts awe from the most irreverent. Other men fail in the same capacity l from some impression of weakness
 which they manage, quite unconscious l ly, to convey. Speaker Peel, for in
 stance, with hasty temper, and no
 great mental fear which a Keate or a
 Benson puts into his boys. He had the grand manner, the fine voice of the Peel family, and something in his eye which bade the most rebellious Irish
 man beware of him. Speaker Gully l has had comparatively tranquil times | to deal with; but whenever there has
 been a row, he has been rather feeble and ineffective. In the matter of al
 lowing his eye to be caught by mem l bers desirous of speaking, we suppose that every speaker is abused by those whom he does not call The truth is that the speaker divides solicitors of
 his eye into three classes-these who
 by virtue of their present or past office
 have the right to be called; those whom the House wishes to hear; tnd those
 who are constant in their attendance.
 There will always be muzzlsd Ciceroa
 who think themselves aggrieved by the application of this rule Except that he may have been a little too accessible to lprivate reaueste, Speaker Bully seems
 to have been as fair and judicious in
 this regard as the occupant of the chair
 can be.--London Saturday Review.

(Signed) Theodore Roosevelt. The letter of Secretary Taft to the president reporting on his inquiry into the case, says the evidence shows that the only transaction which Mir. Loomis fever had with the New York and Ber- mudez Asphalt company was mere transfer of funds from Caracas to New York, in which MT. Loomis was indis- erect in becoming personally interested in the Mercado claim. In another transaction, in which President Castro regarded MT. Loomis as acting on be- half of an Americant syndicate, Mr. Taft says that MT. Loonlis was "cer- tainly tleading on dangerous ground in bringing his official life so close to a transaction in which he must have ex- lpected to have a great personal inter- est" After exonerating Mr. Loomis of other charges Secretary Taft says:
 'These transactions of MT. Loomis
 show what seems to me is apparent, that he was not discreet in withhold | ing personal participation in enter
 prises in furthering which he might | find his position as minister useful. Caracas is full of concession holders, and concession hunters. The gossip of the town is full of charges of corrup- tion against every diplomatic represen- tative Under these circumstances it seems to me that it was the business
 of the minister of the United States
 to keep his skirts especially clear of personal participation in any business
 which might bring him into contact with the government.

whether the Georgian Senator will ask
permission from Congress to be per-

Saxon had looked upon Plymouth

In the first half of the Sixteenth
Century the Spanish Conquistadores
seeking new fields of conquest for the
glory Of Spain, swept up the Rio
Grande Valley. They found pastoral
settlements of Pueblo Indians prac-
ticing agriculture through the aid Of
Irrigation, carrying the precious waters
of the Rio Grande out upon the desert
and reaping harvests from fields which
dad been in cultivation beyond the
traditions of the oldest members of the
tribe. Spanish settlements followed
the conQuerers. With the ready adap-
liability of the early explorers they
utilized the old irrigation systems.

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
Almost Impossible to Select a
Genuine One.

"A story is told of smoker who spent
eight of the best years of his life trying
to color a meerschaum pipe, keeping it
to prevent it getting scratched and its
finish being dulled by the oil and moist
ure from his hands, only to find at the
end of that period that he had been
tenderly nursing an imitation instead
Of the genuine 'ecume de mer." The
best imitation is composed of the par
ings of genuine meerschaum, combined
with a mineral clay. These compost
lions can usually be determined from
the genuine meerschaum by their
greater weight, but there is no abso-
lutely certain test for distinguishing
the counterfeit. One method Of test Is
to look for slight imperfections. Com
position bowls never exhibit these
slight blemishes, which result from the
presence Of foreign bodies in the natur-
al meerschaum however, as the blem-
ishes do not usually manifest them
selves until after the bowl has been
used for some time, the test is not of
much value in buying new pipes.
Meerschaum is q silicate of magnesia,
and preparatory to carving 1t is soaked
in composition of wax and oil. The
wax and oil absorbed by the meer'
schaum are the cause of the coloring
| of the pipe due to smoking, and in con.
nection with the further absorption OF
nicotine. Where meerschaums have
been smoked for some time without
having acquired good color, they car
frequently be improved by rubbing
when warm, with beeswax.
