The spirit of rivalry has plven the world about everything it has any right to feel proud of. A New York elerfryman has deancd tipping as bribery pui'e and simple, aud he is just about four-quarters right. But what would those twelve young men killed in playing football have been worth to the country had they lived? Another diamond mine has been dis covered in South Africa. Will some one please put au extra chain on the dogs of war? The man who is known as "a prince of good fellows" is likely to. be re ferred to as "a lobster" when his money is gone. Of course, a business man may be a Christian; but there is little likelihood of his becoming a captain of industry by following this policy. When you go to collect a bill the man at the counter is less apt to in quire about the health of your family than when you go In to pay one. Fourteen deer hunters were killed during the past season as against ten football players. Who will care for football after this? Every time an American goes abroad to sell goods now it is referred to as an invasion. What a lot of nervous persons there must be in the world. Emperor William might take kindly to Carnegie's suggestion to f' rm a nited States of Europe if he were to be the grand chief and overlord of the same. . A Virginia woman who hunted forty three years for her husband's grave has just found it. It Is to be hoped that, being positive, she will now quit worrying.

This is putting the strenuous life into metal with a vengeance. While Prof. Garner thinks he is mak ing progress in learning the language of monkeys, he complains that they do not speak grammatically. Perhaps he failed to be introduced into the cultur ed circles of monkeydom. The Berlin insane asylum claims a patient, whose hair changes color with her feelings. When she is cool and quiet her hair is a light yellow, but when she is restless and excited it be comes auburn. In other words when he gets red beaded, she is so. A Virginia legislator who tacks ' M.

This doctor is evidently convinced that the chief end of a legislator is to make business for himself. Sweden has begun to emancipate it self from slavery to coal. The govern ment has decided to operate by elec trioity the two thousand two hundred miles of railway which it owns. The electricity will be generated by water power, which is abundant In that ponntalnous country. Italy also has began to utilize its waterfalls for pro ducing electricity, and Is expecting an Industrial revolution In consequence of the supply of cheap power for manu facturing purposes. This country does not monopolize all the enterprise in the world. Marriage without love is almost a crime. In fact, it would be regarded as one if the world were as true, as simple, as sincere as it ought to be. Bat society has so long wandered in a mace of complexity, and marriage, from monarchs downward, Is under taken for such a variety of reasons part from love, that only a few re tain the correct Impression altout It And of these few the majority are or girls who would rather die marry a man tbey did not love.

Surely even in our so-called heathen depen dencies the fiue flower of the humani ties blooms on. Frugality and industry make a fine team, and we all of u experience an approving thrill when we read of the great man who consecrated his youth to an unmixed diet of oatmeal porridge for the sake of a material economy that sbouid resuif later in wealth; ma terial and mental. Science approves also and is shocked by the extravagant self-indulgence of the poor, who could secure a competence so easily If they would take to porridge, or, better still, to raw turnips, like Colonel KelltTS. Playing with human beings as an ab straction represented by marks uihip his writing tablets, the professor of science feeds them, clothes them, lodges them, pays the doctors' bills and the undertakers' bills with a growing enthusiasm as he keeps reducing the figures, except those of mortality, and presents his tinal calculations as a tri umph. It is thus with Trof. Clark, who has reached the conclusion that the "unskilled American workman" can keep a family in comfort and save mon ey on $300 a year. Moreover, at forty fiveheshould have laid by an Independ ent fortune.and meanwhile he will have rioted in those greatest of blessings, la bor and abstinence. As the professor contemplates the Irrefutable demon stration and hearkens for the dinner bell which shall summon him to roast beef at twenty-five cents a pound, he becomes sterner in his demand for self-denial In those unskilled work men. "The man or woman," he says, 'who becomes dependent through neg lect or lack of foresight Is morally as guilty as the thief who breaks in and steals." Aud it is not improbable that he will come to regard $.'500 as a de moralizing superabundance and cut the figures down one-half. But what kind of apartments could he furnish a man with wife and children under his econ omical scheme? Just how would he keep them all warm in winter and pro vide them with suitable surroundings In summer which should conduce to their health and pleasure? While sci ence is speculating with Its abstrac tions, the facts and conditions of life in America are rudely giving It the lie. And such wickedness demands stur diest refutation. THE VILLAIN IN THE NURSERY. "Mother Goose" Is. Brought to Task by a Critic. As a really cheerful lullaby, none other can equal- Here comes a candle to light you to bed; Here comes a chopper, to chop off your headl and, when a child is thoroughly fright ened by this vivid picture, what can better befit the occasion than a recital of the inquisitorial story of Old daddy long-legs wouldn't 3ay bis prayers! Take him by the right leg! Take him by the left leg!! Take him by both leg'.!! And throw him down stairs! before the child kneels down to it devotions? As an epitome of religious persecution, this cannot be surpassed. The example of "Nanty Panty" has, no doubt, Ieen followed by scores of children. The words have a merry jingle. One can almost see a young ster Jogging to the grocer's and filch ing the first thing on which be can lay his baby bands! Listen: Nanty Panty, Jack-Dandy Stole a piece of sngar candy From the grocer's shoppy shop, And away did hoppy hop! In the following ridiculous, impossl ble couplet: Money I want, money I crave, If you dou't give me money, I'll sweep you to the grave! highway robbery is suggested striking ly and in a most Impudent manner. Likewise, there seems to be no satis factory reasou for the "little man who had a little gun" to shoot the duck through the "head, head, head," unless he was on a poaching expedition. A tangent of Incendiarism Is seen in this advice given to the pretty lady bird, that inadvertently lights on one's hand: Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly away home. Your house is on fire, your children alone, They are all burnt bat one! Had the insect enough understanding. It would undoubtedly hasten home ward without waiting to be blown away.

TOM OCHILTREE, BON VIVANT The Celebrated Texan, of PlctureaqB Kauie, No More. A picturesque figure has pone from American public life. Colonel Thomas P. Ochiltree warrior, statesman, jour nalist, diplon.at, promoter. turn vl vant and racon teur, known equal ly well in England, on the continent, in New York, Texas and Washington--is dead. Ochiltree was s Texan by birth. Ills father was a TOM OCH1LTKKF, judge and 8 foUlld er of the Texan republic, and the boy grew up in his law otlice. At 15. how ever, be broke away from home and served with the Texas Hangers against the Comanches and Apaches. At 'Z he was editing a Democratic paper and attending a national convention as a delegate. In the Civil War he was a messenger for Jefferson Iavls ami General Umgstreet. After the war he became a Republican, and General Grant, when lie Ixi-ame Pro-ldeut. made him a I'uited States marshal in Texas. After a time the President was disturbed by hearing of the cul uiel at nearly every race track in the country and demanded an explanation. "Oh." said the marshal. "I'm n u Tom Ochiltree. He's a race horse John CliamUrlain named after m" Ochiltree tir.-d of the Federal job and became proprietor and editor of lie Houston Telegraph. As a newspaptt man he went to New York, where he became acquainted with August I'.ei rnout, who introduced him to many men of prominence. He went to l'ari and formed the acquaintance of .Tarn" Gordon Iletinett. When Bennett cab "l 2.000 words to the New York Herald on the opening of the Paris Exposition in 1.'.7, Odonel Ochiltree asked that the dispatch be duplicated to the Houston Telegraph. The Frenchmen were amazed at the man's evident high financial standing. They never learned the truth that Ochiltree's paper sus pended three days after the receipt ot the cable. The colonel's dispatch was too much for the paper's treasury. When he came home from Europe he ran for Congress in a Texas district covering 37,01,0 square miles. He made fifty-two speeches, covering the terri tory on horseback, inuleliar-k and on foot. He was elected, though the dis trict was a Hemocratie stronghold. While at Washington a correspondent wagered with a friend that he could make any niemlcr of Congress known from one end of the country to the other within a year, and he picked out Ochiltree, red headed, a good story teller and fond of notoriety, as the man. He Itegan to send out stories of Ochiltree, many of which were true and others far from It, and Ochiltree became a personage to le quoted. In terviewed and sought after. Klch men became his intimate. He traveled In Europe and attracted the attention of capitalists to the advantages which Texas offered men of means. In re cent years he had spent his time around the fashionable hostelries of New York City. HAS A COMEDY JAIL. In Eliiabethtown, N, J., Prisoners Are Locked Out Instead of In. Ellzabethtown, the county scat of Essex, In the Adirondacks, possesses a comedy jail, says the Philadelphia Ledger. It Is small, having windows secured by wooden bars and the jail yard Inclosed by a solid fence of three-quartcr-lnch boards, which a healthy man could push over with his shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, if ever, at tempt to escape. Some good stories are told by Judge Kellogg, Judge Hand and other resi dents. It Is a custom lo allow the prisoners out on parole, so that they may cut the grass on neighboring lawns, do garden work or repair roads for the illage and county. Recently 'one prisoner who should have returned at 6 o'clock did not apply for admission until nearly an hour later. The war den angrily demanded to know the rea-, son. and added: "Iton't let this occur again, or I will not allow you to come In. I lock the door at 6 o'clock, and won't open It In the future for you." Another, accused of and awaiting trial for manslaughter, overstayed his parole and pleaded as an excuse that., as It was Saturday, he thought he would go and spend Sunday with his wife, returning to the jail on Monday morning.
