oMlTs HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.

New Member of the Commons Ia
Taught a Lesson by Constituents.
Few people have any Idea how close
is the watch kept by earnest constitu-,
ents upon the parliamentary perform
ances of their representatives. About
three months after the house met this
year new member, friend of mine,
went down to his constituency. He
had not made his maiden speech at the
time, but he attached little Importance
to that, thinking that probably he was
more conscious of the fact than was
any one else. He was soon undeceIyed,
for the porter who took his bag at the
station remarked directly the honor
able gentleman stepped from the train
Haven't had the pleasure of read
ing your maiden speech yet, slr-we're
looking out for it."
My friend had to make polite and
pleasant answer, for the porter was a
most energetic electioneerer. Then
nearly every one he met began with the
accusing formula, Haven't had the
pleasure" until he was nearly mad.
The climax was reached when be

1 wonder what has become Of "Bub"
Hinkley. Remember him In the old
school days? He simply couldn't learn.
He knew more schemes for getting out
of work than any fellow you ever saw.
He was an expert with the slingshot,
bow and arrow, fists, and was the boss
all-around wrestler in the school. But
learning?
One time the teacher. Old Man Bruce,
you remember, gave "Bub" one of those
examples like this: "a has a piece of
land. Half Of AS land and 80 acres
is twice as much as BIS and one-third
more than C's. How much land did
each have?"
"Bub" worked and perspired over his
slate for two solid hours and then gave
an awful yell and jumped right out Of
the window. And we never saw him
again, for his folks moved away the
next day. 1 wonder what became Of

CHINESE SKILL WITH AXES.

Carpenters of Cathay VIII Compare

Naturally pre-eminent among the
skilled craftsmen of China the carpen-

suits he is more efficient In his line
than are the average Of the foreign
trained filters and machinists in theirs,
though constant diminution of the
difference is in progress.
In judging the performance Of the
native workmen 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to avoid the popular bias that ad-
dlction to their own methods and tools
invariably bespeaks fatuous conserva-
tism. Though this is in many cases
true, 1t will often be found on careful
observation that what has passed for a
stubborn blindness to the virtue of in
novation Is in reality a keener percep-
ton of comparative merits than the
Judge himself was aware of.
Ihis is particularly true of Chinese
carpenters. While most of their com.
monest tools differ in some radical way
from our own, 1t is never safe to as
sumo the superiority of the western
product. Their small ak, for example,
is beautifully balanced tool and they

Mr.. Garf,e1d,s Speech.

Corporation Commissioner Garfield
made speech the other day before a
class of New York University students,
In which he severely arraigned the
business methods now prevalent in
Wall street. He said:
There Is q commercial conscience
which throws aside all ideals except the
acquisition of wealth. 1t calls trickery
ability, SCOTS at common honesty, and
teaches that all things and all men
have their price and can be bought"
These words are absolutely true, and
the commercial conscience thus describ-
ed has become the political conscience
Of the Republican party. 1t is respon-
sible for the protective tariff, the sub
sides to railroads, the favoritism
shown to trusts, the proposed ship sub
sidy, and the entire economic policy of
that party. 1t is also responsible for
the corruption of the voters, as Illus
trated in the "blocks-of-tive" scandal,
and the $18,OO0,OOO corruption fund of
the Republican machine in 1896.

THE eRANDEEs OF SPAIN.
Curious Custom of "Head Covering"
When They Are EnnObled.

Curious Custom of "Head Covering"
When They Are Ennobled.
The ceremony of head covering was
recently performed by number Of
Spanish peers, who thereby passed to
the rank of grandees of Spain. The
ceremony, Interesting on account of Its
antiquity and Its historical slgniftca-
ton, is, like many Spanish customs, re-
markable for its extreme simplicity.
The peers who took part In 1t were
the Count Of Cabra, the Count of Pla-
sencia, the Marquis of Rafal, the Mar
Quls Of Malferit, the Marquis of Bena-
NEIL, the Count del Real, the Marquis
Of Hoyos, the Marquis de la Cenia the
Count Of Bilboa, the Marquis OF yiana
and the Marquis of Tovar, who were
each attended by a grandee us their
sponsor. When they had made three
customary reverences to the throne, the
queen regent, in the kings name, babe
them "Cover your heads and speak,"
The speeches which followed, justify
ing the right of each peer to the honor
he was receiving, We're for the most
part Interesting excursions into the past
history Of Spain. The first, which was
also the most brief, that Of the Count
of Cabra, may serve as an! example:

ceive the honor of covering my head
