"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." Trial bottles free at

GHOSTS OF THE MAORIS.
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." - -

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.

unsportsmanlike way I am sneakincr of.
You must have large and rather gaudy
flies. Three inches above the droDDer
put a No. 2 split 6hot on your leader to
sinn your Hies. They must be sunk al
most as deep in the water as if you
were fishing with bait. Trail them
toward the surface smartly; and when
one of these big bass strikes a fly,
which will be so often that you will be
astonished, if you don't say that you
never had sport before fly fishing for
bass, then you are a dilettante sort of a
fisherman, and no mistake.
A person who thinks he isn't doins-
right by himself if he fishes for black
bass any other way than with the fly

never knew of but two kinds before I
tried the Michigan method, and I have
used this third one with great pleasure
and profit in many eastern waters
where the conditions wero similar to
those in the Saginaw, and where no
one had ever succeeded in . taking any
bass to speak of by the regulation
methods. I had rather make a nice
catch by sinking my flies, even at the
expense of being looked upon as a
coarse fisherman, than to dawdle all
day on the surface and never get a
rise."
