The government of New Zealnnd, when It eame to the bridge, decided to croHH on an American Htructtiro. Lucy Page Oaston HiicIm that cigar ette are adulterated. Evidently they are trying hard to make elgarettoti bet ter. When there Is talk of n cabinet vn cancy every man In Iowa tttarts percep tibly and wearH his hand tucked Into bio vent. Ho long an they keep Alfred Aimtln olT tho work, tho revision of Kngland's national anthem will not bo viewed with alarm. Ituly'H commercial Invasion of Amer ica, now that o think of It, may be reckoned among tho HiiccesHful affairs of that kind. King Kdward has decided that there will bo no court Jester at tho coronation ceremonies. Waiting so many years for tho crown Is u serious matter. Prof. .lacipies I.oeb of tho University of Chicago has an elixir that holds off death ftom sea urchin's eggs. This ought to bo a great thlng-for sen urchins. When tho new telephone servlco which will enable talkers to see each other while conversing comes Into use, will It lo necessary to cross tho wires for cross-eyed patrons? A New York man has been paying his wife's alimony In postage stamps of tin negotiable denominations, which sug gests that the champion mean man would better look to his laurels. Tho Hmperor of (lerinany recently talked In eight languages during one day. Still, that Isn't much. A neighbor who iHiimdi'd IiIm thumb tho other even- A lug used cloven In about four bccodikA Tho fa bio of tho dog who lost his piece of meat in trying to reach for tho larger piece which ho saw rettected In tho st renin below him Is respectfully referred to the notice of tho I'anaina company otllclals. Congress will use the District of Co lumbia as a sort of experimental sta tion for divorce reform, A law Is to bo formulated for tho district which shall lervo us a national model. There Is call for great wisdom In tho making of such o law. According to some persons, Marconi Is either suffering from a diseased Imagination or given to unbridled men dacity. According to history, Fulton, Kdlsou and a long lino of other plonovrs In tlio Held of Invention weio once re garded as crazv or worse. ItepreseutatlvoKddy's statement that there are not a dozen men In Congress who, on a strict salary basis, could com mand from private corporations or In terests tho salary tho government pays them Is no sign that any member Is to Introduce a bill for tho reduction of Congressional pay. Chinese diplomats broke over nu old tradition when they attended a dinner given by Minister Conger, In which American women participated. Former ly It was considered degrading to dluo with foreign women. When the Chinese nobles expose themselves to captivatlou by tho charm of American womanhood It la easy to see a tlulsli for tho musty traditions of centuries. Tlio Rtilitniirlne bout, tlio Fulton, re cently remained sixteen hours under as ninny feet of water. Its oltleeru mid crew snent tlio time In entire comfort, unaware of tlio great gale that was blowing ntiove. If the International Association to Prevent tieaslckiiess would only contrive attachments by which tho llfo-hoats on ocean liner might take susceptible imseiiK'ers down to the bottom of tho sen while storm mgo above, and bring them buck alive, Its claim of practical utility would bo no longer questioned. There was never nn Innocent and Im proving pastime, suitable alike to the learned and tho laity, to compare In genuine fun and literary pnult with the spelling "bee," 80 general haa be come the vice of bad orthography that signs multiply In favor of a revival of tho "bee." There will be a little moro dllllculty than of old In agreeing upon a standard, but the words spelled moro ways than 0110 aro comparatively few and not important. Teachers of spell ing, the few that remain In the schools, should Ik tlio llrst to encourage tlio Jolly "bee" and are liable not to bo tho last to be spelled down, Tho new Hny-Pnuiicofoto treaty ro moves tho diplomatic obstacles which hindered the const Miction of a canal acrons the continent, In Central Ameri ca. The report of the canal eomni s kIoii iiicsents the Judgment of experts that the Mcaragtian loulo Is the best. The attitude of Congiess promises prompt ai'tlun. So the connecting of the Atlantic and l'aclllc Oceans, which has been a dream of adventurous splr Its for centuries, approaches realiza tion. The enterprise, when begun, will have behind It the resources of a great nation: and the canal, when completed, will be the property of the I'nlted .States, operated and controlled and Its neutrality guaranteed by the United States alone. That one nation should spend two hundred million dollars, anil probably more, In building n great pub lic work In, the territory of another na tion Is unprecedented. It Is Justllled by the fact that the new waterway will bring the commerce of the Pacific coast ten thousand miles nearer the ports of the Kastem coast. At pres ent tho distance by water from San Francisco to Cadiz Is less than the dis tance to Now York. The cutting of the canal will end this anomaly, and In proportion to the length of the water way will save to commerce n greater distance than any other canal that has been or could he built. Tho canal will promote general peace and International commerce. It will bo open to the ships of all nations on t(iinl terms, and will lighten tho cost and lessen tho time of transportation for all. The day which witnesses tho turning of the first spadeful of earth on tho cannl and the day on which tho llrst vessel passes through It will be historic days for the United States and for tho whole world. At last tho fool who rocked tho boat has been run to cover, and the law has Its hand on him. He Is the typical practical Joker of a breed which on April 1 puts pepper In tho baby's mouth and gleefully yells "April fool!" when tho child shrieks In agony. As ho grows older he stretches a rope over the sidewalk lit night, and his soul Is lilted with delight as pedestrians cuino to grief. If a teg or two Is broken or u skull Is fractured ho Is always sorry, and declares that ho was only In fun and didn't mean to hurt anybody. Then ho leaches tho age where ho rocks a boat or drops a lighted match Into the Fourth of July fireworks, and he weeps bitter tears at tho funerals. That brings us to Frank ltluohnrt, of Ilagerstown, Md and the time Is Aug ust. A merry party. Including ltluo hnrt and Mary Flurrock, wore rowing. Itluehart was a born "cut up." He wanted to give tho ladles a good scare, and rocked tho tioat. He was Im plored to desist, and answered It by u violent rocking, at tho same time roar ing with amusement. Then tho bont capsized, and all wero rescued with tho exception of Miss Flnfrock. Her body was recovered two dnys Inter. Mr. Itluolinrt felt very badly about It Ho -'was also vexed when ho was Indicted for manslaughter. Tho Jury deliberat ed for -il hours, was unable to agree, mill there Is to lie another trial soon. Whether a conviction Is reached or not tho case should bo a lesson to practical Jokers. It should even peuotruto tlio Intellect of L. It. Spalding, of Tuft villi', Vt., who sent a noto to his wife, telling her that ho would never lie seen again alive. Ho wanted to seo how she would take the news of his death. It was not so much of a Joke as nil experiment. After ponds had been dragged and Mrs. Spalding's mind hail been wrecked so that It Is doubtful If she Is ever sane again, the Jovial husband was found playing checkers with a friend. Ho Is very sorry. Orcut HIiiKcrii OlT tlio HIuk. 1 remember how amused I was when Mndiimo Kiimes told mo how capitally Jean do lteszke, who undoubtedly Is tho greatest of living tenors, Imitates uulmiil sounds how lie "bow-wows," and "meows" with the sumo voice which lias thrilled thousands. Also how Kdouard do ltes.ke delights In Imitating the sounds of various orches tral instruments; but In order to do this ho Is obliged to nsstimo tho pose of tho player, so that If he Is Imitating the sounds of a cello ho sits as If ho had tho Instrument between bis knees and were drawing n bow across the Imaginary strings. As for I'laiieou, whenever he and the prima donna htcp out upon tho stage together he al ways whispers to her Just as they aro leaving tho wings, "Now they are go ing to sec tho two most beautiful noses In tho compnuy." NVohihh'h Home Companion. A Hurst or Oeiieroslly, A man from Dimedlii oneo visited (the town of) Wellington. An Irish friend Insisted upon the visitor staying at his house Instead of at a hotel, and kept him there tor a month, playing tho host In detail, even to treating htm to the theaters and other amusoiueiits, paying all the cab' fares, ami tho rest. When the visitor was returning to nunedln, tho Irlshntansaw tilui ilown to tho steamer, and they went Into tho saloon to havo a parting drink, "Whnt'll you have," asked tho host, continuing his hospitality to tho very last. "Now, look herw," wild tho mau from ntiucdlu, "I'll hue line niolr o' this.
