That Emery Letter.
The Wanamaker interests I
through the Philadelphia North
American .scolds its nominee for |
writing the Likins letter. IT said '
on Saturday:
' Mr. Emery's letter is much too
long, it rambles where it should j
have been terse, and it says many
things which had better have been
loft UU&iid for the advantage of the j
writer and the cause.
Mr. Emery will do well, we
think, to accept for himself in the
future, Quay's advice to Beaver.''
To Republicans.
We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and
work in harmony with the Repub
lican National Congressional Com- j
mitt in favor of the election of a
Republican Congress.
The Congressional campaign
must be based on the administra
tive and legislative record of the
party, and, that being so, Theo
dore Roosevelt's personality must j
be a central figure and his achieve- j
ments a central thought in the J
campaign.
We desire to maintain the work j
of this campaign with popular sub- '
soriptions of One Dollar each from j
Republicans. To each subscriber I
we will will -end the Republican I
National Campaign Text Book and I
all documents issued by the Com- I
in ittee.

DfnTrr'« Klrmt Sf«n*cn«oh,
On the 17th of May, IS.*>',), Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach of what was destined to grow
into the "Overland Mail," nn enterprise
which lor sheer American pluck and
daring must lie forever linked with the
■fame of the "Pony Express." lied
shirts drifted to the outskirts ol Hie
hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard faced bartenders made ready for
the "hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose." The artillery of holster
and saddle boot was uuliuibercd for an
ecstatic fusillade. There was lively
betting in dust aud nuggets that the
i first through stage had been gathered
in by Indians, with takers as eager to
■ stake their faith that the scalps of
| driver and guard would come through
I intact. At length a swirl of dust show
ed far down the trail. It grew into a
; yellow cloud that crept toward the
j eager hamlet. Then six mules, stretch
i ed out ou the gallop, emerge I irom
tills curtain, and behind them was the
lumbering, swaying stage, come safely
I through on time, aud Denver was in
; touch with the world where men wore
i white shirts and lived in real houses.
The cheers that roared a welcome to
this heroic enterprise were .echoed in
i every western town which hoped and
1 longed for a link of its own with the
home country, "way back east."—Out
| iiig Magazine.
Tlio Polite llurniHii.
In the cities of Burma, where the
i natives have been long in contact with
j Europeans, says the author of "Bur
• ma, Painted and Described," they have
lost some of their traditional polite
i ness, but in the country districts old
school courtesy Is still the custom. An
| English gentleman who had bought a
[ new pony was trying him out on a
] Burman road when the animal bolted
, and ran at top speed down a narrow
I road. In the way ahead was si native
I cart, in which was a family party out
1 holiday making. The pony dashed Into
' the back of the cart, threw his rider
j into the midst of the merrymakers and
i severely injured the Burman who was
\ driving. Before the Englishman had
| an opportunity to explain his uuexpect
; ed onslaught the Burman picked lilni
i self up and bowed low. "My lord,
! my lord," he said apologetically, "the
I eart should not have been there."
Inlirrited Meiuorlm,
j A writer in (lie Nineteenth Century
j tells a strange story of "inherited
j memories." The ruins of an ancient
| Roman fortress rise from the grounds
!of a Mr. Phillips. A clergyman called
j upon the owner one day and asked to
| see the ruins. "He told me he had a
i distinct recollection of living there and
I that he held some office of a priestly
j nature in the days of the Ilomau occu
' pation," said Mr. Phillips. "One fact
| struck me as significant. He insisted
| on examining a ruined tower which
j had bodily overturned. 'There used to
J b? a socket in the top of It,' he went
on, 'ln which we used to plant a mast,
and archers used to lie hauled to tlie
top in a basket protected with leather,
from which they picked oft .the lead
ers among the ancient <Jorlestonians.'
We found the socket he had indicated."
When Pari* Wan Dirty.
It takes the labors of 4,000 to keep
j the city of Paris clean today, but in
i times past that capital did not care so
j much about the matter and was not
always pleasing to look upon. In 1348
King John of France made the request
that Parisians should nof allow tlieir
pigs to roam the streets. Charles VI.
(130S-14221 complained that the prac
tice of throwing rubbish into the Seine
made it a "great horror and an abom-
I ination to look upon." Until the sev
| teentli century everybody who could
| went about Paris on horseback in order
j to avoid contact with the filth of the
| streets. Various ordinances were made
! to compel the people to sweep the road
before their own doors, but it was not
until 1791 that the dust cart became nn
| institution.

Among the many strange relation
ships which earthquakes hold to vaii
ou.s natural phenomena there is possl
bly one between (he times of their oe
currence and of irregularities In the
revolution of the world. For many
years it hns been observed that there
are slight but Irregular changes in lati
tude, or, in other words, the axis of our
cartli does not always point in the
same direction. The pole wanders
about lu a mean position, sometime?!
Ui a path that is nearly circular, while
at others It appears to in- exceedingly
Irregular and even retrograde. The
world top Is not spinning truly, hut it
slightly wabbles. When the change In
direction of its axis Is sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. If a
swiftly moving body is, so to speak,
compelled to turn a corner, that it
should be subjected to strains which
might result in yielding is easily con
ceivable. Regarded from this point of
view, thi- times at which strata in
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by erratic movements
in the rotation of our sphere. The
earthquake and the wabble may, how
ever. be due to a common cause, and
the question therefore is one which re
quires closer examination.—John Milne
in National Review.
A (<oo<l llorMo'.i Color.
A good horse cannot be a bad color.
It is said. It is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
colors, lias a gray ever won the race,
or a dun or a skewbald or a piebald?
lias there ever been a thoroughbred of
the latter type? Quite black thorough
breds are rare, white still more so,
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted of public performers. The
"Stud Hook" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex
planation K of course, that the horse
is there described us be appeared as a
foal. An owner of a bay thoroughbred
looked up the "Stud Rook" to find his
purchase pictured as a chestnut and
complained to the men of whom he
had bought the horse. The former
owner assured hiin that the descrip
tion was correct at the time it was en
tered. Other owners, less certain as to
what color may appear when the first
coat has been cast, have before now
made such singular entries as "gray,
roan or chestnut." St. James' «Jazette.
Tile Poronplne'n <iuiils.
The spines are very loosely attached
to the porcupine, and they arc very
sharp— as sharp as a needle at the
outer end. At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose of a dog
or the clothing or flesh of a person
touching the porcupine and stick there,
coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
in catching hold with one end and let
ting go with the other has sometimes
caused people to think that the spines
had been thrown at them. The outer
end of the spines, for some distance
down, Is covered with small barbs.
These barbs cause a spine once imbed
ded in a living animal to keep working
fartl*er in with every movement of the
muscles, so that it is not a pleasant
thing to get stuck full of them.
A Had Picture,
At Varzin once, after sitting for some
time sunk in profound reflection. Ris
marck lamented that he had derived
but small pleasure or satisfaction from
his political activity, but, on the other
hand, much vexation, anxiety and trou
ble. lie had, he said, made 110 one
happy by it. neither himself, his family
nor any one else, "but probably," he
continued, "many unhappy. Ilad It not
been for me there would have been
three great wars the less, the lives of
80,000 men would not have been sac
rificed and many parents, brothers, sis
ters and widows would not now he
mourners."—"Bismarck's Table Talk."
Unique It n!:i making.
One of the oldest rainmaklug plants
is the invention of a native of oue of
the Indian provinces. Tsy means of a
rocket he sends more than a mile into
the air a reservoir of ether attached to
a parachute. This, being released at
the highest point, floats gently back to
earth, the condensation being caused
by the evaporation of the ether. It is
said to be decidedly etlieacious even
where there is scarcely a trace of
cloud.

"Yes," said the college student, "dad
