A Mississippian announcing his
candidacy for Office says he makes
no pretentions to saving the country
or saving the people from the
bondage of the corporations, " for
he probably couldn't deliver the
goods" but that he is a candidate
because he wants what he wants
when he wants it, " and because of
the honors thereof and the emolu-
ments thereunto appertaining. He
frankly sizes up what is the real
motive of most candidates for office
in spite of their spandangulous'
humbuggry to the contrary. Chat

Foraker Belligerent.

New York, Aug. ga special
to the Globe from Washington says:
The Brownsville debate, of which
most every one got tired last winter,
threatens to occupy a great deal of
/ Senate attention the coming session.
This is not merely because Senator
Foraker is still belligerent and de-
termined to keep the controversy
stirred up while he can do 50, but
by reason of the determination of
the Democrats of the Senate Militia
~ Affairs Committee to urge that
/ the negro troops be let out of the
army and the practice of enlisting
negro regiments be given up. In
order to do this legislation would be
necessary, as the law now makes re-
quirement for negro regiments.
1t appears the majority report of
the committee will be favorable to
the Presidents action in discharg-
ing battalion of the Twenty fifth
Infantry. Senator Foraker and
Senator Buckley of Connecticut
will sign a minority report, holding
that the troops were discharged I'M
Justly and without authority.
Senator Scott of West Virginia
may sign the minority report, and
there is doubt where Senator Full
ton of Oregon stands. The Demo-
Gratis viii favor the majority report,
but are expected to put in supple
mental report in favor of the repeal
of the law that now requires the or
ganization of four negro regiments
and their elimination from the ser

Humor Athletic Husbands.

There is the husband inclined to
athletics, who will appreciate warmly
an evening out, or perhaps, for his
part, a Saturday afternoon would be
more welcome. 1t is a big sacrifice,
we admit, that whole half holiday,

Ia Extraordinary MlaratIon.

One Of the greatest mysteries to
scientists, one for which there seems
to be no reasonable explanation, is
that concerning the migration Of the
Iemming, or Norway rat. Instead Of
taking place once a year, these migra-
lions occur only once in eleven years
When the time comes for the exodus
the little animals journey westward
from Scandinavia, allowing nothing to
stop their movements, which virtual
ly amount to a headIong fight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains in incalculable
numbers, devastating the whole coun-
try through which they travel. Nat
uralists attribute the movement to
some inherited memory of flight to
escape an expected cataclysm, but this
seems somewhat far fetched.

CHURCH cURIosITIEs.
A Parson Who Rode a Hobby-Horse
While He Preached.


A short time ago the Church Family
Newspaper asked its. readers to send
in particulars Of any church curiosi-
ties they had seen or heard about, and
offered prizes for the most interesting
descriptions The result of the com
petition is announced in the current
issue Of that paper, and from the in
stances of church curiosities published
we make the following selection:
A curious link with the past is to
be seen in St. Bartholomew church,
Great Grandson, Hunts. It takes the
form of huge graphing hook which
in the days of primitive fire appliances
was used for pulling the entire thatch
off the roof of a cottage in the event
of fire. The shape is that of a long
bar with turned down fork at the
end the length being sufficient for
men on the ground to reach the top
Of the roof, and the weight so great
that the strength of several men was
necessary in using it.
Not only is the little church of
Liandieu, at the foot Of the Black
Mountain, Breconshire, well known to
antiquaries for its curious rood screen,
but it also boasts Of another curiosity
in the shape of hand stocks. A high
mound to the south of the church is
surmounted by yew tree, through the
trunk of which is a large hole.
Through this hole the culprit had to
put his hands, which we're then
fastened down on the opposite side of
the tree by a wooden continuance
which secured the wrist in the same
way that ordinary stocks secured the
feet. In this position the offender
had to stand in full view of the con-
gregation. as they emerged from the
church porch. The same tree also
did duty as whipping post.
A curiosity which never fails to ex-
cite the interest of all visitors to the
old parish church Of Berkswell, near
Coventry, is a very high saddle
shaped stool, known as the pulp
hobby-horse, to be seen in the vestry.
1t seems that about the year 1850 the
rector of Berkswell was very fond OF
riding, and it is said that he was far
more at home in the saddle than he
was in the pulpit So he thought it
would be a good plan for him to make
a stool with the seat padded and
shaped like a saddle, which could be
placed in the pulpit before he ascend
81 1AO ioT1 hO ci+
while delivering his sermon, instead
of standing. By this means he hoped
to infuse more life and spirit into his
sermon.
Most visitors look with amused sur
prise at the following notice in the
porch of the village church of Wan
borough, near Swindon, Wiltshire.
ALL FEMALES ARE REQUESTED
TO TAKE OFF THEIR PATTENS
ON ENTERING THIS DOOR,
The notice is roughly printed on
plain deal board and attached to the
wall Of the porch.
The patten commonly used by the
country women was a wooden sole
shod with an inch or two Of iron,
which raised it's wearer above the
water and mud lying in bad weather
between the cottage and the church.
The click-clack of the pattens was
very distracting to worshippers as
their wearers approached over the cob
bled or stone-laid walk, and conse-
quently they we're not tolerated beyond
the door.-Tits-Bits

Without going into the merits OF the
question whether women should vote
there can be little ground for surprise
at the fate of the Acknowledgement bill
in the British house Of commons, re-
marks the Philadelphia Ledger. AL
though the unwillingness of the Brit
ish legislators to face the issue square
ly necessitated recourse to the expe-
dent Of talking the bill to death,
the militant suffragists have only
themselves to blame for this added
humiliation. The exhibition they have
made of themselves at Westminster
has not only been modifying and un-
dignifed but it has given arguments
to those who contend that the women
of England are neither prepared nor
competent to assume the responsibility
of the suffrage.

The first point to be determined in
the matter of a street railway express
business, contends the Boston Post,
seems to be whether it is compatible
with the passenger business Street
railways have large privileges given
them in order that they may carry
people from one place to another
They have added to this an extensive
advertising business by billboards and
placards, which does not interfere with
passenger transportation although APP
parenuy outside the scope of their
characters. BY law they now can en-
gage in the freight carrying business,
and it becomes a question OF local ex-
pediency whether they shall be grant
ed the privilege. Out in the rural dis
tricts both passengers and freight can
be carried without interference, but
it is another matter in the crowded
metropolitan section where the diff
