OF all peculiar sights think that
that of moose eating grass Is the
most extraordinary. The neck is so
short and the Iegc are so long that the
animal usually kneels in eating grass.
True, it does not attempt it very Of
ten, for grass is by no means a staple
with it, but even a moose likes a
change of diet. The appearance Of
this huge and awkward creature in
this devotional attitude is not only in
teresting. but laughable. st. Nicholas.

are apt to lose something of the charm
and instructiveness Of travel by thus
fiocking together in foreign lands in the
places where their needs are catered to.
But they prefer, as class. American
comforts-steam heat. familiar cookery
landlords who speak Engiish-to dubious
foreign ways, and are quite content to
see the sights without coming in too close

Walter Scott Wrote TIP
From the Springfield Republican.

1t is rather amusing to find in the Spec
tator an inquiry as to a very common
phrase which that learned journal cannot
answer. The Spectator quoted without
question the remark: THE more 1 know
of men the more I like dogs" as attrib-
uted by the Countess Martinengo Cesares
CO to Nine. de Stael. OF course. Nine.
de Stael never said anything so straight
forward as that. How could any one
with such a name as Martinengo Casares-
CO know English? For the phrase was
original with Walter Scott, and ii Ia to
be found In Lockliart's biography-one of
the best biographies ever written The
sentiment is not at all exclusive: il has
often been expressed. or late years it
has been attributed to Mark Twain and
would be characteristic Also II may have
been as original with him as with Scott
Both the men knew men and dogs. and
must have had the same relative esti-
mate.

STUDY OF LANGUAGES.
Americans Have Little Disposition
to Speak a Foreign Tongue.

From the Springfield Republican.
1t will be interesting to see how the
schools and colleges which are following
Harvard's lead in requiring a practical
knowledge of modern languages instead
OF mere book knowledge succeed in slim
ulating an interest In linguistic study.
That the change of method. so far as the
new requirements make change necessary,
is good thing, all language teachers
seem to agree. The point in doubt is
whether good method will suffice ts
make linguists of people who have little
practical use for foreign languages 1t

Washington, June 14.--AIgernon
sartoris, grandson of President Grant
and until a few days ago secretary of
the American legation at Guatemala
has resigned from the service. It is
reported that his resignation was
forced and that he was compelled to
withdraw against his will after hav-
ing served one yea ann to day.
The state department admits Mr..
Satoris resigned, but It automatically
insists that his resignation was offered
because of his falling health and his
desire to seek cooler climate. Mr..
Sartoris now is in New York on his
way back to his former post to remove
his effects after which he will tour
Europe with his wife,
The rumors that Mr. Sartoris' resig-
nation was not voluntary are being
kept alive by his friends in Washing
ton. These friends tiecTare that the
state departments explanation does
not explain, for the young man was
here only a short time ago and looked
the picture OF perfect health. 1t is
said also that he protested vigorous
ly against his retirement from the
diplomatic service, but to no avaiI.
These friends are authority for the
statement that Mr. sartcris' deposi-
tion il the result Of a family feud and
that he IL not In the good graces Of
Gen. Frederick Dent Grant. his uncle,
commander Of the department OF the
lakes.

portions of the tariff bill which have
remained unacted upon
Il observe" he said, that the cam
mfttee has placed the tariff on hides
and also on cotton pagging and cot
ton ties. We of the south are not go
much concerned about the duty OF
hides as such, but New England need
not think that she can tax our people
on ties and bagging without hearing
from us. SO far we have remained
very quiet in the present contest, but
unless / am much mistaken the demo-
cratic senators will be heard from this
time on. The duty on bagging alone
will cost our people at least $5,000,000
year, and we will not submit without
a protest"
