franchise dies hard, and in putting it
out Of business the Republicans Of the
Assembly have placed that party in
position where it is likely to hear some
thing drop in the future
Assemblyman Colby, who has labored
increasingly for his bill limiting fran
chises to % years, since its introduction,
made final effort yesterday 10 get the
house to vote in favor Of his principle.
Tuesday a substitute was reported
for Mr. Colby's bill, iii the form Of
makeshift, referring the whole matter
to commission for report at the next
legislature Mr.. Colby endeavored to
save the principle of his measure by
putting in an amendment making the
franchise limit 50 years. But the other
Republicans, under, the lash of the party
bosses, who feared to incur the enmity
of the corporations, turned Colby down
and voted tile amendment out.
Then. in The hope Of saving them

MENTIONED

Republicans Of tlie Eleventh Ward
have been given to aasIefs sand that Jchn
z. Macarthur viii Eot be continued as
ward leader. City Collector Edward
Fry, in his capacity as chairman of the
Republican County Committee, mas ar
ranged his list Of executive committee
men, and Mr.. McArthur's name is not
on if. The list will be made public to-
morrow night at the meeting Of the
County Committee Among the Repnb-
lican politicians the impression prevails
that the new ward leader will be J. Al
bert Hinners though an effort is being
made to have the honor bestowed on
Andrew Knox. For Mayor Fagan's per-
sonal comfort Chairman Fry has con-
eluded to ignore the wishes Of the Eley-
enth Ward Republicans who have gone
on record in favor-of the appointment Of
Mr.. Macarthur. The AieArthurites are
not the kind Of men to be snubbed in 81

say when Chairman Fry announces his
appointments.

The Month of August.

Few persons know why August has
thirty-one days. July, which takes its
name from Julius Caesar, has thirty
one days, and Augustus, who complet-
ed the calendar, declined to submit to
the indignity of seeing his own month
branded with the inferlority of n day
less. The astronomers had according
~ to reshuffie the lunar cards, and, aft
er some perplexity, hit upon the ex-
pedient Of shearing twenty-four hours
from February's glory In order that
August might face the world on a
footing of perfect equality with July.

LONG ENGAGEMENTS.
A Woman's Plan by Which to Brfns
About Happy Marriages.

ABOUT Marriages.
Marriage is an institution Of the
state; therefore she should put 1t out
Of the bonds of possibility that people
can marry each other In two days or
a week. How many marriages would
be broken off IL the state required a
three years engagement before people
are married? After all, IL a woman
wants to become a u In two months,
no convent In the world will accept
her. She must be a novice for two or
three years. During that time she has
to make al examination of her con-
science every day and to find out II
she has a vocation for n nun. But
women and men marry without the
slightest preparation, without the
slightest thought of the future, while
Dame Nature laughs at her most odd
pairings. She wants her world peopled.
That is her part. The men and women
who are i'll suited to each other are not
her affair.
Girls and boys at school should be
taught to look upon marriage as the
most beautiful. the happiest, the most
desirable and the most possible thing
in the world. Boys should be taught
to keep their minds and their bodies
pure for the state which they will
probably enter and to have n n of
protection and loyalty to girls, and
girls should be taught industry, self
sacrifice and responsibility for the mar
ried state.-Mrs. T, p. O'Connor in

FIDDLERS AND
The Two Glasses of Insects That Pro-
duce Audible Ounds

The Two Glasses of Insects That Pro-
duce Audible Sounds.
Insects that produce sounds audible
to human ears have been roughly divid-
ed into two classes-fddlers and drum
mers. The grasshopper is a fiddler and
makes music by scraplng its fore wings
against the rows of spinelike teeth that
ornament its thighs. The katydid also
plays an chronological fiddle. 1t pro-
duces its notes by rubbing the inner
side of the hind legs over the front
wings.
The locust, on the other hand, is a
drummer, and n loud one too. His
drum is formed by Il membrane stu
ated at the base of the fore wing, and
he can make n forest ring with it. The
cicada, or seventeen year locust, car
ries a drum at the base of the abdomen
and makes with 1t a noise that seems
to be quite as terrifying In the insect
world as that produced by the gorilla
pounding its r%esounding chest is among
wild beasts. 1t is said that the cicada
sometimes frightens away its enemies
with the rattle of its drum.
There are other drumming insects
which make good music, but the violin
lists, after all, carry off the palm, for
the great insect s~oloist, the cricket, is a
fiddler.
