ANNOY PUBLIC MEN. "Crank" Letter Writers and Their Fool Productions. Governmental Head at Washing-ton , Are Made the Recipients of All Kinds of Commanl ontioiii. The recent threatening letters sent to Speaker Reed call attention to the thousands of such missives sent to puo. lie men durinar the course of a year, Ordinarily little attention is paid to them, as they are usually the work of cranks who are harmless in otner ways. A large number of these letters are writ ten a jokes and with the expectation or. causing a brief sensation. J. nose sent. to Mr. Reed were evidently the work of some would-be practical joker, and their contents made no impression on the bigr man. It is asserted that they were written by some one wno nopea to create a little sensation and proba bly produce a story which could be sold to newspapers, and a libel auit is now pending against a Washington correspondent who charged a certain person with the authorship of the let ters and with motives of perpetrating a "fake" which he might dispose of for money. These "fake" schemes do not work and more than one originator of spu rious sensations has come to grief. It is not so many years ago that a fertile brained young man who had an am bition to shine as a "new journalist" conceived the idea of sending an in fernal machine to the late Chief Justice Waite. lie prepared an ugly-looking package, including a cigar box filled with black sand, lead slugs, pieces of brass, springs, a fuse, etc., and had it sent to the chief justice's house. He then visited several newspaper of fices, offering for sale a sensational story of how an attempt had been made on the life of Chief Justice Waite, de scribing the "infernal machine," its deadly character, and all the other de tails required to make a big sensation al "scoop." Unfortunately for the young man, he tried to dispose of the story be fore the package reached the chief jus tice, and the inquiries made by the newspaper correspondents to whom the story had been offered revealed that fact, so when the package did arrive the young man was immediately ar rested for having had something to do with it. He broke down and confessed that it was a hoax, but his practical joke cost him a fine of $5 and led to his retirement from journalism of any kind. The lesson was appreciated and that young man is to-day a respected mem ber of the bar in this city. The person most frequently made the object of threatening letters is the president of the United States. Every crank that imagines the country to be going to the dogs blames the conditions on the president, and straightway writes to the latter, threatening all kindH of horrible deaths if he does not reform these conditions or resign his high office. There are demands for money and dire threats as to what fate will befall the president if he does not respond, These letters never reach the presi dent, and lie is never aware of the aw ful doom that overhangs him in the imagination of some flighty people in this country. This correspondence is usually turned over to the secret ser vice bureau and an effort made to dis cover the writers, but usually without success. The letters are written in disguised hands and on common note paper, which cannot be traced to the owner. When, however, a series of let ters are received the detectives are able to find the writer and proper punish ment is given. Many of the writers, of course, are harmless lunatics, and when discovered they are put under surveillance and restraint. President McKinley has not inspired many cranks with the notion of threat ening him by letter. Fewer of these letters have been received at the whitu house during th past few months than for many years before. The president is not he only publie oflleial picked out by these letter-writing cranks. Cabinet officers, senators and members of the house get their share. The eongresHinen just now are re ceiving any number of threatening let ters, but they are signed by the full names of some of their constituents. They threaten the political lives of the congressmen if the latter insist upon milking certain appointments of ost masters, etc. They usually begin with n recitation of what stanch party men they have been and of the extent of their influence, the retinue of relations they can control, etc., and wind up by saying that if the congressmen name John Smith or Sam Jones for the cross roads post ofllces in their district all this influence will be turned against them. As a rule, these threatening let ters help to till the waste baskets. Washington Cor. Philadelphia Press, 1 nng-DUtiinic Skating.

An old camper-out once related to a horrified housekeeper his experience of dishwashincr in a miners' camp. It did not take much time, though the com' pany was numerous, and the utensils of the kitchen were in constant use. The reason why it took but little time he sufficiently indicated by the state ment that the cook pot was notcleaned till it became too small to hold a pud' ding of reasonable size. Then some body got a hammer and knocked off the hardened accretions from its interior till it was restored nearly enough to its original capacity to render further serv ice. On Tory island, an out of the way bit of an Irish islet, the natives are not much more dainty in their living, and their habit of letting the grounds re main indefinitely in their teapots has disastrous consequences. "livery day and all day long," says a recent writer, "the teapot sits stewing in the embers of the hearth and at each successive brew fresh tea is thrown in, but the old is never thrown out until the pot is choked." The result is an unusual and excessive rate of insanity. Little wonder, when a Tory island boy who was questioned as to his usual meals could reply: 'Stirabout for breakfast and tay for dinner; tay, of coarse, at taytime and stirabout for supper; whiles we have tay for breakfast instead, and stirabout for our dinner, and then another sup of tav before bedtime." However, this diet, injurious as it is to the nerves, does not seem to affect the muscles. The Tory island ens are a ro bust and vigorous race, the men aver aging six feet in height and the women unusually tall and strong. The women, indeed, have need of all their physical strength, since it is thyAvhodo the bulk of the outdoor work, while the men stay at home and spin and weave. "At Anagry strand on a Sunday morn ing," says the same observer, "one may witness a strange eight. At low tide more than a mile of roundabout saved by wading across a narrow bay. me men include in their Sifilay's wardrobe shoes and stockings. The women, by courtesy and custom, wear martyeens footless stockings with a loop passing over the toe. Each good wife takes her good man upon her shoulders and the heroes areconveyed across dry shod." Youth' Companion. MARRYING FOR TITLES. The Adaptability of American Wom en Alda Them Vastly, It is well understood in Europe that if a man marries into an untitled fami ly it is better for him to marry an American than a womtin of any other nationality, for the same reason that Napoleon gave for making choice of a Spaniard she had no family in France to be. enriched and ennobled. Euro peans don't trouble themselves much about American social distinctions and can't understand the difference be tween a fortune made in 1796 and one nuule in the same way in 1897. Many of the diplomatic corps have married Americans; there have been several marriages of Washington girls to sec retaries of legations and attaches with in the last ywar, and! a large propor tion of them have turned out well. American women are natural diplo mats. A European woman is born and bred' in a certain rank of life, and al though she may be transported to an other rank she takes with her the stamp of the grade to which she belongs Not so with an American woman. As the wife of the premier of Great Jlritain she would put Lady Clare Vere de Vere to shame by her quick adoption of most of ihe characteristics of the daughters of a hund'red earls. There is less risk In tin American girl marrying a diplo mat than any other sort of a foreigner, for a diplomat is under bonds- to be have himself. But if she in, ambitions and desires, to make a really brilliant match she ought to marry a citizen of the United Stotes. Illustrated Ameri can. How a Caterpillar Defends Itself. The caterpillar of the puss moth, quite a common insect in this country, has a inoKt effective way of defending itself, and may prove, as we nall pres ently see, dhngerouB even to human be ings. This well-protectedi caterpillar Is provided between its head and fore legs with a cleft, from which it can pro trude an organ capable of squirting out a quantity of very acid fluid to a considerable distance, and when alarmed it, habitually makes use of this formidable weiipou. In one of the en tomological mutgazinesi aeorrenpondn'nt states that 'he was observing some of these caterpillars in captivity when he happened to disturb one, find, it sud denly squirted out a quantity of fluid in a jet, which struck one. of his eye ballR, though hia head at the time was quite two feet nway from the insect, lie rushed off in great tigony to a doc tor, who told him that Wie eyeball was in a very dangerous condition.

"The usual way people set about stop piog woory is a wrouu one," writes Man Boardman Page in the September Ladies' Some Journal. "That is why it is e unsuccessful. If a d ctur tells a pi.tien be muat stop worrying, the patient it likely to say impatiently: 'Ob, d ;otor doo't I wish I could ! Bitlom't. If I Oou'd have stopped worrying a year ag I would not be ill now!' all of wb'ob it probably perfectly true. And the d otoi does not always know bow to help him, beoaase both doctor and patient have ai idea that it is possible to repress worr through an effort of tbe will. This is i mistake. It is not possible to reprrs worry. You have got to replace it witl something else. Let me illustrate thi by a figure. Hnppose you were to go in to a completely dark room, wishing it to be light. Bow would you set about th. work? Would yoa try to scjop the darkness up in buokelg and carry it out ? Not at all. Yuu would jast open t b windows and abutters and let in th blessed sunlight. You would replac the darkness with light. So it is with worry. The only possible way to get rii )f it is to replace tbe worry attitude of mind with the noD-worry attitude.
