A Wild Iieaat Carnvau.
Few of the peoplo who go to a menagerie
realize what an immense undertaking It is
to transport wild beasts from the land of
their birth and of their freedom to the land
of their imprisonment, und too frequently,
of their death. I will ask my readers to
picture for themselves an African desert
blazing beneath a burnlngsun. Across the
weary waste of Band a long column of men
and animals is wending its slow way. As
It draws nearer we see that it is a caravan
of wild animals on their way from the in
terior to the seaboard. And as it passes Us
the vast mass of living creatures, as in a
chemical process, slowly dissolves itself
Into distinct particles and individualities.
Let us regard them carefully. In the
first place we notice a procession of 11 state
ly giraffes, then come 5 elephants, a huee
rhinoceros, 4 wild buffaloes bellowing sadly
after the mates they have forever left be
hind. Thon there go lumbering by a number
of enormous carts or wagons, in which are
confined 80 hyenas, 5 leopards, 0 lions, 3
cheetahs, 16 antelopes, 2 lynxes, 1 serval, 1
ward bob, 20 smaller carnivorous animals,
4 African ant eaters and 45 monkeys. And
then there come slowly prancing by, wary,
restless, cunning, 20 ostriches. There aro
20 boxes of birds, from which sounds of
shrill screaming are constantly proceeding.
There are upward of 100 Abyssinian goats
scattered here and there in the proceAon.
These aro to give milk for the young ani
mals and to serve as food and meat for the
old.
The caravan is on its way through the
desert of Suakin, which is the first ship
ping place for Europe. There are no less
than 120 camels in it, which are required to
carry the food for this caravau, and there
aro upw ard of ICO drivers in tho procession.
It takes tho caravan upward of 80 days to
cover tho distance which lies between Oaa
sala in the interior of Nubia and the port
of Suakin, for which they aro bound. The
same journey is usually performed by
quick post camels in 12 days. McCluro's
Magazine.
"Had Rather" and "Would Rather."
A teacher in one of our eastern schools
has .prepared a list of words and phrases
to be shunned by the youth of the land
who wish to grow up in the fear of the
laws of language. He has got together a
lot of popular vulgar errors and slovenli
nesses and done good service' iiT printing
them, but one of the idioms be slips up on,
as better men have done before him name
ly, the student is cautioned against using
had rather for would rather and had bet
ter for would better.
This is all wrong. The idiom I had liefer
is as old as Chaucer, and in the sixteenth
century or thereabouts I had rather was
formed by analogy and has held its place
in the best usage, written and spoken, ever
since. It is a piece of silly modern pedan
try and purism to object to it. Of course
the argument used against it is that in the
sentence I had rather go you aro really say
ing I had go rather than dosomethiugelse,
and this Is nonsense.
It is true that Jt seems to lack oualytio
meaning to the modern Janguagu user or
hearer, but the answ er Is that in older days
the meaning was there, because the verb
have, which is now used mostly as a pale
auxiliary, with no more of Independent life
than the verb be, had then a strong Inde
pendent life and a far more vigorous sig
nification; hence tho idiom, once obviously
right, has become securely lodged among
tho unconscious speech processes of wield
ers of English and Is still right, though
harder to prove analytically. We are glad
to see oh turning to the Century Diction
ary that the correct view of 'the case is'set
forth, and would rather is not counte
nanced at all. Hartford Courant.
Why Japaneaa Sword Are Cheap.
People who are fond of rummaging about
in curio shops are no doubt surprised at
the cheapness of Japanese swords. They
ate cheap because they are plenty. When
the nobles adopted European ways, they
took to European costume also and
seemed to acquire a distaste for many of
the things that had been personal or house
belongings. The short, needle pointed,
razor edged swords worn by the damlos
and their retainers, though of the finest
steel and beautifully ornamented, were dis
carded for English sabers and dress swords
and camo to this country by thousands. In
San Francisco a dozen years ago they were
heaped in boxes and tubs and were sold for
less than $1 apiece.
The price hasadvancedallttlesincethen,
the alues running from 12 to 110, accord
ing to the condition of the blade, the
richness of the lacquerou the scabbard, the
ornamentation in gold and bronze on the
handle, but plenty of good ones are still to
be Lad. One cranky freak of collectors is
to break up the weapons, preserving only
the bronze and iron guards, which are often
decorated with flowers and figures of ex
quisite workmanship in gold and silver.

500 Hwonls for this purpose and wants more.

May Close or Not.
Ciiioaoo, Aug. 81,-Tbe superior
court rendered a decision today dissolv
ing the injunction issued by Judge
Stein forbidding tho management of
the world's fair from closing the gates
on Sundays. This leaves tho manage
ment free to close the gates if it de
sires. LATER.
An extraordinary scene was wltneeed
iu the superior court this morning. In
tbe absence of Judge Stein, who issued
die order forbidding tbe closing of the
world's fair gates Bundaj s, the manage
ment applied to Judge Uoggln to dis
solve tho order. He called Judges
Dunne and fireutuno to sit with blm.
They agreed that the order be dissolved
while Goggln held It should be contin
ued In foroj.
At tbe opening of the court this
morning, Judge Dunne insisted on tbe
right read to the opinion of tho majority
and did so. Then after a wordy wran
le, Goggln announced that be no long
er desired tbe other Judges to sit with
blm. They retired and Goggln over
ruled tbe motion to dissolve. Uoggln
afterwards gave an his reason for this
extraordinary action, that to set aside
Stein's order would cause the people to
lo confidence In tbe Judiciary.

CleYsland's Diseased Mouth Operat
ed Upon Successfully,
New YyiiK, Aug. 31. The publica
tion of the story concerning a surgical
operation on President Cleveland,
which was currently rumored two
months agu, baa brought , statement
from Dr. Ferdinand ILubrouclc, tbe
dentist. Dr. H-wbrouclt onsen ted to
talk for publication, and said:
"The president's disease Is or vu, for
tbe operation may have been successful
In removing It, u growth In the. bona
of bis left upper Jaw aud tbe adjoining
boost- of tbe nose. The operation con
HAM
OK
sisted In removing the diseased por
tions of bone, and was performed about
10:30 o'olook on tho morning of Satur
day, July 1st. while tbe president was
on board Mr. Benedict's yacht, the
Oneida. I want to Bay that I don't
think tho disease is the same as that
which caused be deth of General
Grant.
Tho president was entirely composed
and cheerful. Ho lay down and an
nounced that be was ready, and I ad
ministered nitrous oxide to him. He
responded to tbe anesthetlo promptly
and was Boon unconscious. In order
to enable tbe surgeons to cut away tbe
bone which was tho seat of the disease,
I extracted two bicuspid teeth from tho
left side of the Jaw. The surgeons then
took charge. There was no external
incision In the flesh of tbe face, the op
erators working entirely within tbe
cavity of the mouth. The seat of tbe
diseased growth was In tho lower bones
of tbe nose and in tbe adjaoent bone
tissue on tbe loft side of tbe upper Jaw.
Piece by piece, perhaps an Inch or moro
of It was removed. Wbllo the opera
tion waft la progress, the president re
vived from the effects of tbe anesthetic,
andjlhey were obliged to administer It
to blm a second time. Mr. Cleveland
stood tbe oxide very well, and no bad
effects were produced by it. He raided
very quickly. Ttie operation bo ftw as
I could Bee, was an entire' success. 'TKe
1 las of blood was dot greatt" -
Dr" Hosbrouok' was, then asked: "Is
tbe disease of tho jtttttteat olsrable?"
TotLls be replied: liave po doubt
of It, provided It is atnded to in' time,
and that was tbe object of the opera
tion. Enough of tbe bene tissue was
cutout to make certain that tbe entire
extraneous growth bad been removed."
"Is tbe disease cancerous In Its na
tue?" 'Tbatrl, will not say," Replied Dr.
HasDrouck". "That to for Dr. Bryant
to say, and It can only be determined
by a microscopical examination of tbe
diseased bono removed.
"What tbe microscopical examina
tion has disclosed I have not definitely
heard. I understand, however, that
tbe president Is progressing as well as
could be expected. I bave seen worse
cases, and so far as I Know they are
living yet. It only remains now for
Dr. Bryant to state what the mlcro
Boplcal investigation reveals concern
ing tbe character of tbe malady."

Los Angki.es, Cal., Aug. 81. Judge
Ross In tbe United States district court
yesterday banded down an opinion
which declares thai a warrant for the
arrest of a Chinaman imder section 0
of tbe complaint hud Its, verification is
In proper form. This sixth section I
tne registration clause that Has caused
so much sensation. It ia plain that the
executive department of the govern
ment can not execute the orders of a
ludge directing tbe deportment of a
Chinaman who failed to register pur
suant to tbe provisions of section 6 of
tbe act of May 5, 1802. Unless congress
gives it money with which to send
them away the department would be
manifestly powerless and no Judge In
bis opinion should order Into custody
for deportation any Chinaman who he
Judicially knows cannot be deported by
the executive department for want of
tbe necessary means.
Redlands, Cal., Aug. 81, There Is

character and consequently only to be is

Kods, and n third carrying mischief in its
train and for which a regular decree was
required from tho highest divinities in the

Arago, bave also decreed that tne varieties
of lightning are threefold. The firs com

it sometimes divides in two or more branch
