The Head of the Table.

In the article on the Glengarry branch of the Macdonalds James Lo- gan, in his ''The Clans of the Scottish Highlands" says:
 At the castle of Arcs the lords of the isles held their parliament and passed the regal decrees, which distant tribes were bound to respect. The sim pie form in which important rights were conveyed by these princes may be illustrated by the following brief but binding charter, which loses in translation from the original Gaelic: I, Donald, the chief of the Macdon- aids. sitting on the hill of Dun Donald, give the MacAodh u full right to Kill mahomag from this day till tomorrow and so on forever A lesson was af- forded hy one of these lords which might greatly benefit some stlc.ilers for preeedency. He had at a banquet been placed by mistake at the bottom of the table, on perceiving which con siderable emotion arose among the company, who dreaded the conse- quences of the supposed indignity but the great ceanncinnidh (head of his race) speedily allayed their apprehen- sions by exclaiming emphatically. Where the Macdonald sits, know ye, gentlemen, that Is the head of the table,"

This Man Is Always Cold

Among the latest arrivals here this week was Frank NJ. Bemis, sraveline man for Michigan furniture house Bemis is to be pitied, for he is afflicted with a strange disease which the doctors are unable to cure, and which renders it impossible for him to keep warm even during the hottest days of the sum mer
 The year around he is obliged to wear five suits of underclothing, heavy Overeoat, a large pair of boots and sev- eral pairs of socks. Despite all of this he is always cold. He rarely contracts a cold and possesses a hearty appetite He sleeps under eight blankets, a mum, Der of quilts, and does not take off his clothes. Notwithstanding all of this, he is none too warm. While at home his gas bill is in the neighborhood of s9O a month.
 He has been at number of resorts to obtain relief from his strange dis ease, but received no help whatever Physicians are unable to determine the cause of his eondition.-Canton, Ohio dispatch to the New York World

Porcelain Houses Coming

The dweller in glass houses may bt more or less tabular idea, but tn, dweller in a china house will soon be a common parsonage, says a London dis patch to the New York American. Tn, home of the future will be built of DOT celain. IL is now possible to build cheal and simple, cleanly houses with sheets of porcelain instead of bricks and slate and concrete, and to dispense with wall paper, paint and spring cleaning.
 The porcelain used for building this Utopian house is produced by new method in sheets about an inch thick, but equally as strong as brick wall. lt is made of a mixture of Cornish clay and French flint boulders in certain proportions.
 The raw material is worked into a liquid state, then rolled and pressed into sheets. When dry the sheets can be decorated in colors, by hand or by a printing process. The final process is glazing and firing used in the ordinary potter s trade.
 Glazed on both sides, the porcelain walls reduee construction and interior decoration to simplicity itself The out side and inside walls of the house have decorated schemes burned into them in delibly before the house is put together.
 Cleanliness is one of the greatest mer it's of the porcelain house Water and wash leather only are needed to replace the annual terror known as "spring cleaning"

The Origin of Mir. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was simply William or John-that Is to say, he had only Christian name without any kind of handle" before 1t or surname after it. Some means of distinguishing one John or William from another John or William became necessary. Nicknames derived from a mans trade or his dwelling place or from some personal peculiarity were tackled on to his Christian name, and plain John became John Smith As yet there were no "misters" in the land. Some John Smith accumulated more wealth than the bulk of his fel- lows-became perhaps a landed pro. prietor or an employer of hired labor. Then he began to be called in the Nor inan-French of the day the "malstre" of this place or that, of these work men or of those. In the time the "maistre." or "malster," as 1t soon be- came. got tackled on before his name. and he became Maister Smith and hls wife was Msistress Smith Gradually the sense of possession was lost sight of, and the title was conferred upon any klnd-by mere possession of wealth or holding some position of more or tsss consideration and importance.

NO LYNoHING IN GLOBE

Owing to the prompt action of the authorities last night in removing the prisoner Baldwin from the county jail there was no lynehing in Globe, 1t is doubtful if there would have been had the negro ben kept in the jail and de fense made bv the sheriff as the mob lacked leadership, primarily, and in the second place, it was not the sort of mob which would have stood up against a defense of the jail
 It is to be deplored that even a half. hearted attempt, such as that of last night. should have been made by sens ihle citizens to take the law into their own hands, especially after promises of a speedy triahand punishment of the man if found guilty, had been made by the district judge and district attorney, Those who justify lynching more as a warning than punishment do not know lht AN ANH | ht SbuAA hhpNN iNs anu kllt' south does not justify lynching, despite reports to the contrary and the incen. diary speeches of Senator Tillman.
 Arizona has not had a lynching in :, over twenty years. It is to be hoped that there will be no lynchings in Ari- zona. In this respect this territory is superior to almost every southern state and almost all of the eastern ones, de- spite their boast of a more finished civ ilization.
 In this connection, credit must be given the members of Globe Miners Union No. 50 for their determination not to allow lynch agitators to hold a meeting in their hall last evening, whereby they showed respect for the law which might we'll be emulated by many who consider that they travel in the higher walks of life.

Fun with the Rum Fisnd

s. l.. Clements (Mark Twain) tells an amusing story about an appointment to lecture which he was unable to keep. A temperance lecturer was invited at the last moment to fill his place. The audi ence did not know Mark by sight, and eheered so loudly when his substitute appeared that they did not catch the explanation. As they expected to be amused, they greeted the unfortunate lecturer s remarks with laughter direct ly he began to speak. 'Intemperance, he said, "is the curse of this country. The audience seemed so much amused that the unhappy man felt his tie and looked himself over to see what was the cause of their mirth. "Rum stays more than disease,' he went on, and the laughter grew louder. "We must crush the serpent The audience by this time was rocking to and fro and at last the indignant substitute rushed out of the hall, shaking his fists at the crowd. -Kansas City Journal.

ROOSEVELT AND FoRAKER

Ability is going to waste in public Tiff ebecause it lacks that essential ae- companying omponent-eourage
 Rooseveltian courage has not become contagious. There are statesmen who at heart cordially approve the admin istration s domestic policies, but who do not dare say so. Other statesmen. apparentl ythe majority, are negatively arrayed against the president, but dare not publicly make known the fact. Call ing themselves conservatives, they are called reaetiOnaries. They would have a president who would 'Iet we'll enough alone; they would give the presiden, tial pendulum backward swing.
 In this interesting political crisis it is refreshing to find one Republican, a solitary, commanding fgure-out in the open, standing for something and unafraid; a statesman of convictions; of courage to express them, even if they do happen to run counter to the views of the powers that be. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio is that Repub. Iican. He is the bravest man in public life tOday-Outside the White House. Right or wrong, as to Brownsville or the railroads, he is challenging his coun- try's admiration. He challenged it a year ago. We have no doubt he chal- lenges the admiration of the president himself A manly man respects man ly foe. There is scant manliness, we re- gret to say, in the present trend of Re publican politics.
 Call him reaetionary if you like, but in the United States senate, when it comes to courage, Foraker looms up "the noblest Roman of them all. ''- Washington Post.

The Dog Was HWise'

Into the car came a woman carrying a dog that was just about as big as a pound of butter. The dog began to bark as soon as the woman sat down. He distributed his greetings indiscrim- inately at first, but presently he singled out the man opposite for special atten. tion and parked at him constantly and vieionsly. The woman said: ''There, there, Sport, and "Now. dear" and ',. Please do be still, but all her adiur- ations made no impression.
 It is no use to talk to him, :" the woman finally explained to the woman sitting beside her. "'I can t stop him. He always barks that way at any man who tries to ogle me. It is embarrass. ing, but l haven't t the heart to scold him. Sport is little, but he is brainy and you can t fool him. He is the best protector l ever had No man need try to hirt with me when Sport is around without everybody finding out what he is up to"
