DAD,S MLGHr,Y HAMDY.

Recently a woman lecturer
asked: What has become of the
old-fashioned father?" and re-
plying to her own question de-
clared that "the modern father
is a mere source of supplies. "
In many cases, he is nothing
more. He goes forth and schuf-
files with other scufflers for
money enough to buy food and
raimant and other things for
the modern mother and daugh-
tiers, and modern sons, in order
that they may initiate the lilies
of the field. This is what the
modern father does. He is the
source of supplies" on whom
the others depend, and as such,
he has a certain sort of stand
ing in his own household. When
he goes to his long account he
is missed more or less, generally
less, if he left a considerable
fortune behind. His sons-in-
law and his daughters-in-law
enjoy his substance, and every
body bears his death with great
fortitude. But as long as he
is a "source of supply" he is a
handy person to have around

specified in said petition Pro
vided, that nothing herein shall
be construed to prohibit any
person who cannot write from
signing with his mark.
Utterly disbelieving in the
three-cornered fallacy, we con-
TESS to a very great disappoint-
ment that the majority did not
make the adoption as drastic
as possible, and include all three
principles. The above is all
right as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough. A large
portion of the people of New
Mexico are daft on this subject.
The best way to restore them
to sanity would be to give them
the initiative, referendum and
recall, on the old established
principle that the best way to
abolish an obnoxious law is to
enforce it. Under this partial
adoption of popularism, the
fanatics will never stop bowling
for the whole thing. If they had
the whole thing, it would be
a matter of only a few years be-
fore they would have all of the
principles they cared for, the
constitution would be amended
to knock it out and we would
have peace on the subject. 1t
was certainly a mistake to take
only part of the fetch, even
though the part taken is the
least obnoxious of the three, and
is properly safeguarded.- Regis

Of carbonic oxide, especially as no
other substance of known poisonous
properties has been found in it, and
patients suffering from coal gas poison
ing show the symptoms associated
with the inhalation of carbonic oxide,
including the peculiar bright red color
of the blood. From experiments made
by DR.. Won Vahlen, at Halle, It seems
probable that we must revise this
view, for on making experiments with
frogs, animals particularly resistant to
carbonic oxide, 1t was found that they
were poisoned far more rapidly by coal
gas than by the corresponding amount
of the oxide. Other experiments with
dogs showed that the poisonous effect
of coal gas was twice or three times
as great as that of the carbonic oxide
it contained. Evidently there is some
other constituent of coal gas which is
poisonous, though what 1t is cannot
yet be stated. Merely removing the
carbonic oxide from coal gas will not
sufice to render it non-poisonous.-

MIS-. BRIGG,S SPEECH.

MRS. BRIGGS SPEECH.
If brevity is the soul of wit,
one of the wittiest speeches on
record was made by a woman.
Mrs. Briggs lives in the north
ern part of Indiana, a long dis
lance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was
to preach in a township some
twenty miles distant, she re-
solved to be present, and as no
other way offered, she walked
the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and
was so pleased at the apprecia-
ton which it showed that at the
close of the service he mentioned
the fact to the congregation, and
called upon Mrs. Briggs to tell
them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over
the audience with great solemn
ity, and said:
81 hoofed it."
Then she sat down again
