WILLIAMS. sretary Taft has neatly punctured '<?' I John Sharp Williams'rhetorical rigma­ role about the Declaration . of Indepen­ dence and the Filipinos. In his speech at Montpelier, the former governor of the Philippines made this" home thrust at Mr. Williams, "It is remarkable that Mr. Williams should be so sensitive that the Filipinos are not gicen complete aglf-governnjent at once, and yet should be willing to represent the Yazoo "Vlis- trict in Congress, elected^ther-etpv by a vote of l,4t>3 pern)ns out of~a^ptrpnlation of 190,<$0." - ' How is a Democratic orator to indulge in irony and sarcasm it he is tbns to be reminded of tacts? Independence for the Filipino may be a connecial subject, for men who do more talking than think­ ing, but constitutional rights for tile ne- grq in Mississippi--that, of course, is a very different thinjj^not at all suitable to oratory of the Williams type.--New York Tribune.

At one timt- there were two members of the house of commons named Mon- tagli Matthew aftd Mattlie^v Montagu-- tiie former a tail, handsome man jirid the latter a little man. During ji ses­ sion of parliament, the speaker h-avini addressed the bVttt r as the former. Montagu Matthew bi: served that it was strange he should make such a mis­ take, as there was as great a difrer- ence between them as between a horse chestnut and a chestnut horse. Willing to J^gfe.

"Well, I suppose they understand each other, although nobody understands them!"* Tennyson's opinion of Browning (and, -incidentally, of himself) is shown in liis remark that "Browning is devoted to music and kiTows a great deal about it, but there is jgg, music In his verse. I know nothing about music and don't care for It in the least, but my verse Is full of music."

The police court of St. ;H«J.iiSr; the principal town of the island of Jersey, Is remarkable .ih several respects. First, the proceedings ai'e always opened with prayer; second* it frequently happens that sifter prayer there hf no more business, and . every * one goes home. There is' ho little crime committed in the island that the police force (twenty strong) is kept up only for visitors. .The beantiful carving in oak which forms the rostrum of this court is the work of :: lt.vly named Coxedye, si resident of the island. The dock is remarkable for its spaciousness and comfort. The authorities are very lenient w^th their prisoners, who are kept here, for court and station arp under one roof.

Billijvrd balls are made of Zanzibar i\ ory, the other ivory, known as the Bombsiy ivory, being too liable to crack oi- chip. The Zanzibar ivory is soft and therefore lasts better. The regu­ lation ball is two and three-eighths inches in diameter, and a set of four costs about $nu. They are rough- turn­ ed--that is, turned a little larger than the balls are to be when finished--and are stored away in open crsites for from sixteen to twenty-two months to season -the"ivory after being turned and to allow any shrinkage to take place before the balls are finished. If the balls were not seasoned in. this way they would be liable to shrink after they were finished, and, as they only shrink in the direction of the grain, they would become oval instead of remaining round, as they should be, and it would be necessary to have them turned again.

From time to time during a presiden­ tial campaign it is well for Republicans to remember that it is not wise to be too confident. The campaign is progressing favorably for them, but the election is more than two months away. There is plenty of time for changes to take place which may help or hurt. "* Thus far. the campaign has been tame on both Bides. The summer has just ended, and politics are apt to be sleepy in the warm days of "the heated term.
