THE DALLES WEEKLY. CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1895. "I SPY STRANGERS.".; A Cry That Will Clear the Galleriea In the House of Commodk - As is well known, it is only through courtesy, and in violation- of strict . rules, that anyone is allowed to wit ness the proceedings of the English parliament. If an ill-natured member choses to call out at any time, "I spy strangers," the galleries must be im mediately cleared. This custom, of course, ' has become obsolete, and of late the ladies, who can go anywhere else in Westminister where visitors are allowed, through their especial champion, Mr. Byles, have endeavored to secure the same privileges relative to admission to the members' gallery as those accorded to men. In a recent declaration before the house of parliament, says the New York Advertiser, Mr. Herbert Glad stone, stated that the exclusion of ladies from this place Was based on the rule enforced by successive speak ers that women cannot obtain admission to the house. . "In former times," he said, "between 1679 and 1778, the occa sional presence of women in the gallery below the bar was jjermitted. Notice having, on February 2, 1778, been taken that strangers were pres ent, the strangers, who were men, withdrew in obedience to the sergeant-at-arms. The ladies who filled the gallery exhibited such persevering re-. luctance to comply with the order that they interrupted the business of the house for two hours. Since that ladies have never been allowed to sit within that part of the house." Mr. Herbert Gladstone's statement has filled the English newspapers with columns of : letters on the subject, the general trend of which goes to show that the British maid and matron propose to assert that they have equal rights to witness the doings of the lawmakers with their husbands and sweethearts. ' Marvelofcs result. From a letter Written by'Rev. J.'Gan derman, of. Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract : "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr, KtDg's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at -Rivers junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed iner La Grippe. ' Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little in terruption and it seemed as if she could not survive "them.- A friend recom mended Dr. Kingis New Discovery ; it was quick in its work and highly satis factory n results."

They Scratch on Walls and Make Their Presence Known by Whistling. The Maoris, it appears, have a rooted belief in ghosts, which they called "Kehuas," and in various manifesta tions from the spirit world. They do not profess to hear the raps by which European spiritualists suppose that the presence of spooks is manifested, for the reason that Maori houses, being of reeds, rushes or grass, raps would not be heard; but the ghosts ingeniously accommodate themselves to circum stances by scratching instead of rap ping, which is, of course, very thought ful of them. Maoris believe that ghosts speak in shrill, whistling voices, and a recent traveler states that for that reason the Maoris hate to hear anyone whistle. The Kehua, accord ing to native tradition, is generally found lying across a path, and to step over him is to die; If the traveler goes round by another path that leads to the place for which he is aiming he will find that the Kehua is on the new path before him. The one way to avoid disaster is to turn back and go home, or, at least, to the place last left. A chief, described as "very intelligent," assured Mr. Tregear, who, according to 'the New York Advertiser, has lately been investigating Maori superstitions, that he saw the spirits of two of his uncles on each occasion before they died. His father, mother, brothers or sisters did not see, and it is not stated why he supposed that his uncles specially desired to visit him in this fashion. The explanation of this and the rest probably is that the Maoris are a remarkably superstitious and imaginative people, who can make ghosts out of ' nothing or nothing more substantial than dreams as eas ily as an old Scotch wife of the last century. THEYSLEEP THROUGH SUMMER. Animals the That Lie Dormant During Heated Term. When the heat of a tropical or semi tropical summer dries up every pool and parches the ground to such an ex tent that it is difficult for animals not endowed with great powers of locomo tion to obtain water, they compromise with nature by sleeping off the season of heat and scarcity. The winter sleepers, says the Brooklyn Eagle, are pretty well known, but, owing to the summer sleepers being for the most part inhabitants of tropical countries, far removed from the path of trained observers, we are less acquainted with ' the species practicing that means of escaping the heat and drought of sum mer. Indeed, at present only one mammal, the tenec, a hedgehog-like beast of Madagascar, is known to do so. In South America and Africa va rious reptiles estivate. In the plains of Venezuela the alligator, the land and fresh water tortoise, the boa con strictor and several sorts of the smaller kinds of serpent lie motionless during the hottest period of the tropical sum mer. But their dormancy is not so perfect as that of some hibernators. In Brazil, Australia and Cape Colony liz ards, frogs, tortoises and insects pass months of the rainless season inclosed in hard earth, and in India many spe cies of fishes live during the hot season in a torpid condition, embedded in the hardened clay.

Judge Shipp, of the North Carolina bench, was presiding over a trial which had been protracted till midnight, and, as a consequence, everybody was tired. The plaintiffs lawyer was addressing the jury, and suddenly said: "Gentle men, I will tell you an anecdote.". In stantly the judge, the jury and the few spectators were all attention, as the lawyer was an admirable story teller. But this time he proceeded to tell one . of the dullest, prosiest and most point less jokes possible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, leaning . over, said in an unmistakable tone of disappointment: "I don't see the point to that joke." "Neither do replied the witty counsel, "but your honor told it to me on our way down here, and, I thought the lack of apprecia tion must be due to my obtuseness, I concluded ' to give the joke a trial by jury." - - Mrs. Emily Thome, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any. medicine for rheumatism that relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's Pain Balm and that she has also used it for a lame back with great success.

Street & Smith's Good News. : - " ""' '. TATTOOED ROYALTY. , . - - - y That Sort of Adornment Favored by Princes, and Now and Then by a Princess. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, broth er of Alexander III.", enjoys the dis tinction of being the most magnifi cently and elaborately tattooed prince' of the blood in Europe. His powerful right arm is adorned with a superb dragon, which covers it almost entirely from halfway between the wrist and the elbow to the shoulder. It was done in Japan, at Nagasaki, where the grand duke spent spme time serving as lieu tenant on board the flagship of the Muscovite squadron in China waters. Alexis is by no means the only member of the reigning family - who is thus in delibly marked. Princess Waldermar of Denmark, wife of the sailor son of King Christian, has a beautiful anchor and a crown tattooed on her arm half way between her shoulder and her elbow, which of course is conspicuous when she wears a low dress. Her hus band, likewise, has naval emblems tat tooed on his arm, and so, too, has King Oscar of Sweden, who served for many years m the navy before ascending the throne.' His sons followed' his example. Queen Victoria's second son, the new duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, is tattooed much in the same way as his brother- in-law, the Grand Duke Alexis, while his nephew, the duke of York and future king of England, has a couple of crossed flags upon his forearm. The tattooing was done during his cruise as" a midshipiman and led to no end pf rumpus, for some busybody cither wrote or cabled home from Australia that Prince George and hi3 elder brother, the late duke of Clarence, had had the "straight arrow" the raurk used to denote government propevty- wursea wnn tne needles u-icii tJioir royal noses. . The idea of a edvcroJsrn iiaviujj ms mosi conspicuous iu:iturs adorned with an emblem which C -mres upon the garments of every convict and penitentiary inmate was one that struck terror into the hearts of the worthy people of England. Questions were addressed to the government in the house of commons by members who were forced to take the step by tneir constituents, and so widespread and serious was the popular indignation over the affair that the London news papers received an official communica- cicn, which each published in large type on the editorial page, assuring ine people tnat, after due investiga tion, it liad been ascertained that the noses of both the prince of Wales' sons were absolutely free from any such disfigurement as that which had been reported. . King George, of Greece, his second son, and ms nephew, the czarowitz. are each of them tattooed, it -having been uune in ootn me latter cases in Japaq. Besides these there are amontr the tattooed princes Queen Marguerite of itaiy s Drotner, the duke of Genoa; Archduke Stephen, of Austria, and iTince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William.
