His object.

Corporal James Tanner, the famous
head of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, was talking in Washington about
CRATER.
HE thinks all men are grafters, =
said Corporal Tanner, because he is
one himself. So does the coward
think all men share his cowardice.
There is a story about young re-
cruit who, in his first engagement, lost
heart. The ping-g-g of the bullets ter
rified him. Spying hole in the
ground, he broke from the ranks, rush
ed to it, and threw himself within,
covering against the earth.
"An officer, disguised, ran to the
terrified recruit, clapped him on the
shoulder, and said:
REGION your company at once.

'The lad looked up at the officer
and answered:

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded
as an affectation of gentility, as found
In the manner Of holding a drinking

an afectation at all. but really an I'm.
conscious. automatic act. This sup.
posed affectation consists in extending

hand clear of the glass when it is lift.
ed forward with it's brim to the lips
and while the glass is held there in
the act Of drinking. No doubt it
would commonly be considered that
people do this for the sake of greater
elegance, or at least from an instinct.
i've desire to give to the hand such an
appearance, which it would not pos
sess If they closed the entire hand
around the glass-if they clutched it,
SO to speak, a manner of holding that
would seem to SAVIOR of rudeness.
But this observer says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. IT,
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed
snugly around it he would find that
the act of tipping the glass so held re-
quired more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fing.
ers would then be called into use.
Whereas if the person drinking holds
the glass between the thumb and the
first two fingers he not only relieves
the tension on the muscles of the two
fingers, but also in a way he pivots
the glass and makes it easier to tin
on that account. Thus the separation
of the two fingers from the glass is
perfectly natural act.
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be raised
and extended more than was really
comfortable for the better display of
rings adjoining them, and he comedies
that sometimes when we see our fing-
crs thus raised as we lift our glass,
in clear view of all, We may seek to
crook the fingers in attitudes of
curves of greater grace, and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas
ure, but his point is that in its orig
inal inception and in the practice by
the many the elevation of these two
fingers is not affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic

The Whales Back Scratcher.

When a naval architect plans ar
improvement in marine construction
he generally has little thought for its
effect on the denizens of the sea. The
man who invented bilge keels, how
eve. says a writer on South America
provided the whales of the Brazilian
coast with just the sort of back
scratcher they needed.
Insect pests annoy the whale. and
barnacles find a home on a large par,
OF his body. Sometimes the monsters
may be seen rolling on a shallow
sandy bottom to displace these pests
or rubbing themselves on the rocks OF
reefs.
On one occasion the mail steamer
Orissa was stopped during a dense
fog few miles off Santa Maria island
in the Pacific. The coast being dan.
gerous. an anchor was let down sixty
fathoms or SO and the ship allowed
to drift in smooth water.
About o'clock in the morning the
captain heard some heavy whale
elbows" or "spouts" apparently close
at hand. Shortly afterward contin.
ued tremor of the ship was felt. It
was too gentle for an earthquake and
was varied with bumps. Soon a huge
whale rose slowly out of the water and
fioated alongside, like bark bottom
up. 1t again descended and the trem-
ors recommended.
Then the crew noticed barracles and
shellfish coming to the surface, and
the secret was out. The whale was
scraping Understanding himself
Oh the sharp plate which projected as
a steadier from the vessels bilge.
Not caring to have him so near, in
case he should smash the boats, the
captain had him pelted with potatoes
and coal, but he took no notice of it
until a piece of coal went into his
mouth and was swallowed by mistake.
Then he drenched the vessel thorough
ly and steamed" away, a last -four
ish of his indignant tail indicating that
he was seeking quiet in the greater
depths.-Youth's Companion.

New York, March S.-The trial of
Bertha Claiche for the murder of Emil
aer1ron came TO sudden termination
today when the young French woman
pleaded guilty On advice Of her coun.
sci, to manslaughter in the first de-
gree. That this, however, is not the
end Of the case and that an attempt
will be made to continue it as an in.
vestigation Of . certain class of police.
men, with Bertha Claiche as states
evidence, was made plain by state
nents both of the judge before whom
the trial was conducted and by the
defendants own counsel.
Supreme Court Justice Davis, in re.
handing the young woman for sen
tence until March 20. and in dismiss
sing the jury. said:
There are many features Of the
case which induced the court to &C.
cept, and the defendant to offer, the
plea of manslaughter in the first de.
gree; and l think when final results
shall have been reached and sentence
imposed, the court will see that the
interestes Of justice viii be served"
The defendant was then carried to
the Tombs prison, struggling hyster-
ically with the police officers, and
screaming.
The trial had proceeded up to a
point where it was expected that Ber-
tina Claiche would go on the witness
stand herself within the next few min
utes. when, during a recess, her coun.
sci went into conference with District
Attorney jerome. At the end of this
eoference, Judge Otto Rosalsky, one
Of the defendants lawyers, talked to
his client for three minutes. At the
close of this talk, she burst into tears
and was SO near collapse that she had
to be assisted to the railing before
Justice Davis, where she was to plead.
A clerk asked her if she would plead
guilty to manslaughter in the first de-
gree. The young woman replied:
"Yes," and tainted. falling to the
foor of the court room. When revived
she became hysterical, crying out: Il
shall never see my mother on this
earth again."
At the Tombs physician was sum-
Eoned to attend her.
The prosecuting attorney declared
that Gordon was lured to his death on
July by plot in which policemen
assisted the defendant.
Miss Claiche has claimed in justi-
acation of the shooting that Gordon
had kept her in virtual slavery and
had forced iler to the streets to make
q living for him.
Abraham Levy, Bertha Claiche's
counsel said late today that he had
pledged that she will tell all she knows
about the relations of the policemen
with the women of the tenderloin.
