The Daily News hopes and be
lieves that the Cosmopolitan ar
ticle will cause Senator Percy to
change his mind about resigning
from the Senate when the lesis-
lature meets here in January;
that like the geod fighter he is,
Senator Percy will stick to his
seat, and Immediately after Con

present the COSMOPOLITAN article
to his colleagues in the United
States Senate and demand the ap-
pointment of a committee to
make a thorough investigation of
all the charges expressed or i'm
piled therein.
We expect Senator Percy to
follow this course, and we believe
that within the next three
months the Senatorial committee
will be holding its sittings in
jackson, and all Of the contempt
ible liars and cowardly slanderers
who have been spewing their mis-

the interest on bonds or refund the
purchasers their money. Now | 10 not
think this ought to be made political
question in any sense of the word. |
think we ounht to look after this, and
vote according to our convictions Of
right. regardless Of any political affil-
iation. know one thing, that we
ought to be as jealous of the states
credit as I'VE lare Of our own, and my
present intention is to vote to pay this
interest or refund the money. When |
60 to the Legislature, and bill is
brought before the House, am always
going to vote according to my convic-
tions and not whether it is favored by
one man or another. / wear no mans

riots. This is little enough snd
although it seems we are rather short

MODERN CHEMISTRY.
Prediction Of Scientist and It's Re-
markabIe Verification.


When a mathematical astronomer in
Paris gave a Berlin observatory q
search warrant for a new planet and,
turning his telescope as directed, the
Berlin observer found the previously
unknown planet all the world won
dered Equally remarkable have been
prediction and its verification in the
history of modern chemistry. Grading
the known elements Of nature accord
ing to the weight Of their respective
atoms, it was observed that the ele-
ments, some seventy or more in num-
Der, formed a scale marked by period
icity like the scale in music. This
periodic law in the hand Of genius be-
came an instrument Of research. 1t
was in 1871 that Mendeleef, the Rus.
sian chemist in forming the scale of
elements, found it necessary to leave
three spaces vacant for undiscovered
elements to make his table true.
Neither did he hesitate to predict
the properties which these elements
should possess when discovered. 1t
was as If an astrooger should inform
you that you would meet some time in
your life three men and that with the
utmost particularly he told you their
respective physical weights, the color
of their hair, the size Of hat, shoe and
glove worn by each and, in a word.
all the habits Of mind and body suf-
fcient to discriminate them positively
from all other men. Not only was the
prediction literally fulfilled. but Men
delecf had the unexpected pleasure to
see the veriication in his day. for
out of the night of the unknown one
after another came the predicted ele-
ments into the clear sunlight Of science
and were instantly recognized.-Louis-
vile Courer-Journnal.

C0RSICAN CRUELTY.
1t Loomed Up Large In Napoleon's
Treatment of Children.

1t Loomed Up Large In Napoleon's
Treatment of Children.
Napoleon had singular rage for
pulling children's ears, sometimes so
hard as to make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very vexed when she
saw her little Achille the victim Of his
uncle's caresses, and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul, pulling the
ears Of the little fellow, hurt him, and
he cried out. TO teach him not to cry
his uncle pulled his ear again, harder.
Achille, having freed himself, came
back to him In fury and, raising his
little fist, shouted:
"You are villain, wicked, wicked
villain!
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain he had gra-
tuitously inflicted by some show of af-
lection. But tenderness was not in
his character. Corsicans scarcely know
what 1t means, and, though Napoleon
USED TO say, Il am less Of C0rsican
than one thinks" he was really more
so than any one or he himself thought.
Instead of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him q violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep
ing to his Uncle Lucien, who was pres
ent, while Nine Murat was so upset
that she was taken i'll, from the eff
fort" says Luclen, who relates this
episode, ''she made to control her feel
ings, which such violence to her child
outraged, AS for the First Consul, he
left the room, Struggling his shoulders
and slamming the door and saying that
Caroline had always been an affected
creature and acted like all parents who
spoiled their children" - Turquan's

TO cure, smallpox was apparently n
very simple matter in the good old
times. John of Gaddesden, court doc
tor to Edward H., has recorded that
he got rid Of the disease by the simple
expedient Of wrapping his patients in
red cloth.
"Let scarlet red be taken," he says,
"and let him who is suffering small
pox be entirely wrapped In it or in
some other red cloth. did this when
the son of the illustrious king of Eng
land suffered from smallpox. / took
care that all about his bed should be
red, and that cure succeeded very
well,"--London Chronicle.

Many insects have some means or
defense from their natural enemies,
none of which is more curious than
that of a small beetle. which, when
closely pursued. discharges a puff OF
poisonous vapor with distinct deton-
alton. Undoubtedly in many instances
this aids the diminutive gunner in his
escape, mainly, in all probability, by
startling his pursuer and causing him
to abandon the chase. From this
peculiar requirement, this little fellow
is known as the bombardier beetle.

They Face Fine, imprisonment aS'
Loss of Citizenship.
Every time a feet of naval vessels
visits port there are sure to be NUM-
ber of desertionS, These come about
from various causes, and among the
desertel'S is always large percentage
of recruits that come from inland
states. TO these young men the con
fne:&ent of ship and daily drills
soon become irksome. This, added
to Ncasickness. to which they are al
most Invariably subject. produces an
irresistible desire 20 desert. In 9th
er instances desertionS come about
through the men becoming intoxicated
and practically irresponsible while on
shore leave. In the meantime their
vessel may sail. These men are not ut
first termed deserters. but are set
down as Strngglers. If, however, after
a period of ten days nothing is heard
from them by the ships officers they
are then considered deSerters.
At the end of the ten day limit their
allotment is stopped. the bureau of
navigation is notified. and, in con.
formity to an act of congress. their
effects are sold before the mast. The
amount realized is placed to their ac-
count and the latter transferred to the
deserters' roll. At the end of six
months. if they still have not been
heard from. their wages are declared
forfeited to the United States. The
penalty for desertion Is fine and i'm.
prisonment as we'll as loss Of citizen

The reward for the recovery of
deserter may not exceed 500. and for a
straggler the limit it $40. This sum.

SKIN OF A BADGER.
So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
SomersauIts In II.

The pelt Of an adult badger is ex-
tremely thick and difficult for biting
adversary to penetrate, writes trap
per in Fur News, and so loosely does
the skin cover the body that the ami
NAL is able to turn almost around in
its hide.
Should dog acquire q hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back Of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger Sc
cures viseike grip upon some vul-
nerable portion of his enemy, and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and deadly
as might be expected from an anteater
Of the dark continent.
He who has removed the pet of
badger and is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp bit
ten and that he is able to hang with
bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment Of its jaws are noted.
Neither is 1t so much of a mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil
so rapidly that half a dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him, for he is
mass of cords and muscles, particu
larly in the neck, chest and shoulders,
very similar in physical construction to
the ground mole.
The badger toes inward sharply when
travelling and always on the walk,
twisting about here and there very
much like the movement Of a skunk,
while If 1t be in winter he makes a
business of hunting buried dormant
woodchucks.
He is a fur bearer of rather coarse
and there is q great range Of
value in the pelts taken, depending
upon the length of the coat. A badger
Is chiefly valuable when it has q long
coat, SO that the guard hairs can be
plucked and used to make shaving

Wagner and some companions called
upon Rossini, Hearing them on the
stairs, Rossini hastily placed the score
of "Lohcngrin" on the piano. and when
tho German composer entered he said
pointing to 1t. "You see, illustrious
maestro, am studying your work"
"But the score is upside down" ex-

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived the Enemy.

A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceivsd the Enemy.
Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like trap to him. Here is an
instance IN which this trait of human
mature was cleverly played upon by a
Japanese nObleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew TINT II al attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
y, and scouts rode up near the castle
to rec0nn0iter. To their amazement,
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back TO a safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the rc.cnforcPmpnts for the cas-
tie came up behind. attacked him sud
denly and defeated hi"l. while the gar
rison. which had riskpd all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side
