Governor Cummin* of lowa. i» set down as one of the new leader* of the movement to secure the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the jiecple. A* wt get it, he is forced to hi* present view* by the failure of the senate to act upon the railroad legislation before it. He says that its inaction “will give a mighty impetus to a movement already strong.’’ This all may be trne, but just how far Governor Cummins will be iufluen ; tial is a question. At one time he made a vigorous attack upon the tariff policy ..of his jrarty. but later suffered himself to be driven into a compromise which left him little of the independence which had given him what national reputation he has. He may have been sincere in his oiiginal contentions, but his determination to carry on the war ;»roved to be weak. Te same thing may be true in the matter of the direct election of Senators.—HentiDel.

| STUDYING MUSIC Employe at Livery Barn Dots Slelghbell Specialty Torn. Young Odell, who is employed at the People* & Holthouse livery barn. is starting, probably the tirst steps to being * groat musicitn. Yesterday a* a JDemocrat representative pa**,-,! the burn he noticed young Odell standing near the office, whore several strand* of sleigh bells were hung On some of the strands there were large bell* and some were quite small. Odell was endeavoring to plav a popular air by shaking the various strands, an act which ha* bwn seen many I time* a* a specialty act upon the stage Os course the music made, | was crude indeed, but if he would have had a greater variety of bells hs would have been able to manipulate them more successfully, also more musically. The best of it was that he did not know that he was being watched. While endeavoring to play a tune on his' strange instrument he would whistle the air | d-ssirgd, and many times bo would find that he did not have the right hells to make the desired melodv.

MOTHER OF PFARL. The luduatry at Islaytoß H la Prerluu, WOOAsThe sole curiosity for sightseers In ' the city of Hntioi, u town of the French I Touqtiin. is the industry of iulsyiug tnether of pearl iu proctons wood*, lu fact, oue street, called the Htreet of the Inlayer*. is given up to the trade. The workmen are gvuuiu* artist*, combiuI Ing artistic perception with great man uul skill. Furnished with rude toots, but with great patience and skill, these workmen produce article* of great beauty. They have applied the principle of division of labor. or *|>eeta!lsatlou. to their work. The cabinet makers first put together the various part* of the material* to be Incrusted. The joining is done without the aid »f null* and with u nice system of dovetailing aud use of past*. of which lacquer la ! the base. From this cabinet maker the wood passe* Into the hands of the de signer, who makes sketches for Its ornamentation on rke paper. These designs are transferred to the wood by the Inlayer, whose duty it is to choose the |>earl that will best serve to bring out the beauty of the design. The mother of pearl I* obtained from a I large specie* of shellfish, called casque, caught chiefly upon the shores of the Island of Poulocoudar. The inlayer cuts the pieces of pearl into little bit* and rliuosw the combination of colors which will make the contrast ne-essary for the artistic success of hi* work. The Iridescence it heightened by the use of pearl dust furnished by a kind of mussel take.x from the brook* of that region. When the bit* of mosaic are chosen the inlayer tries to give them the form of the design chosen nnd dispose* them m a mosaic Ik the wood. The crude morsel I* made translucent by pumice st orfe The pearl la then fixed in a vise, and the labor of patience la-gins. Kneeling before the vise, he shapes the pieces with a file no larger than an ordinary color crayon. When the pearl 1* shaped it is necessary to trench it in the wood. | This is ordinarily done by children. fourteen or fifteen years old. The bits of pearl are then set Iti the grooves and fixed with paste. The whole is gently heated to melt the paste and so fill the interstices. The design is then pol’she 1. varnished nnd given the tin-1 tshlng touches. The work has been counterfeited, but never successfully. - New York Hen: id.

Diacwvery ot the Ichtbrowser. Ichthyosaurus is a name much jested with because it rivals the mastodon as a most widely known fossil, dating back to its discovery by Sir Edward R. Home, between 1814 and 1819. in the marine deposits of I.yme-Regis. England. The name, signifying "fish lizard.” shows that thia animal irn-1 pressed Konig. its desert as having ! a fishlike backbone combined with a shoulder girdle of the lizard or saurian type. This term could not have been more happily chosen, because, while re- 1 taining the skeleton of an atavistic and extremely ancient lizard, the ichthyosaur evolved a most strikingly modem external likeness to certain very familiar animals of the sea.—Heury Fairfield Osborn in Century.

Dlaafrnnlsm cf as Eirs Temper. It is usual to envy the even tempered pc-opie-tbose who are never unduly elated or cast down, who "knit on plain” ail the time. If one like tuat sort of thing it would l« equally natural to envy the animals—rows and pigs, for < Instance—whose serenity is seldom dis- J turbvd. For my part 1 think those eveu . tempered pcaple lose nine-tenths of the pie is ere of existence. The depths of grief and g'oom into which impulsive profile are thrown are amply uiade up for by tie equally unreasonable and uurc. tioaing lay Into which they spring st the sl.xlitctt possible excuse, and the sorr :w of a quarrel with a deat one Is paid fur in the delight of "making up” Parents are very apt to iui press on their children the beauty nt this even (bspMltlon. but •<• far as I •■an see the on y benefit derived from it is an tin wrinkled complex torn—Done [ hoe's Magazine * Half a Face •It is not nn uncommon thing.” says a man who has hunted In central AfriI ca.

Three Hinds *•' Men. Here Is a classification of men expounded by a spinster lu nn article, “The Truth Al>out Man." "Men as a whole." she says, "may t>e roughly divided into three distinct specie*—the bold, the shy and the tough." The first class Includes "those seif assured mr.lcs" who fall in aud out of love with every other woman they meet; the second class Is m..de up of "the world's good fellow* who have a great reverence for all women and silently adore oue for life without telling het BO." and the third species "is concerned only with getting on nnd making money, ts abs diitely tudiffercut to women cud marries tn.ly as a matter of expediency. The first of these we unhesitatingly condemn and find irresistible; the second we admire profoundly, praise slthont srtni and ignore nlteilv; the third we dislike, despise and—marry.” Thackeray'* “Strike" l or n -Raise." 1 hereby give notice thav I shall strike for wages (lie wrote to the proprietors of Fraser's Magazine).

A COOfISKIN FARE. It Would Have Paid the Traveler to Let the t haa*e Ue. Many years ago. us the story runs, when eoonskins were worth six bits apiece iu Arkansas and a regular fee of two bits was assessed for ferrying a horseman across the BL Francis river, there came along a traveler whose entire capital consisted of but a single pelt, and the ferryman hadn't a cent of change in his pocket. The traveler was bound to cross, but refused to pay three times as much as the man who passed before him or the one who was to come next The ferry man would not wet au oar unless pay men: for his sc'Vices was assured Here was ample fou..' , atiou for un nr gument, aud presumably the opportu nlty was not uoylocteJ. But n s..ti»i*c tory errangement was finally reached the traveler getting value received sot bis coonskin by being wafted thrice across the stream. This of course would lenvo Mat O n the right sl.ta and ttettlcr par.j to tue ttude would bate cause for complaint. Such was the gen erous spirit of nccoinmodiiticn which obtained in these earlier days, such—but bold on a bit Ou the second trip the ferrymau chanced to inspect the coonskin close ly and found that it was by no means up to the recognized standard. May’.# It had been killed too early in the season or was not properly stretched. Anyway, he decided tuat four bits was all it was worth, and the traveler frankly admitted the soundness of bls judgment, acknowledged that he bnd received its value in the double ferriage and forthwith started on bis fifty mile ride up the river to ths nearest point where it was fordable.- Fiwlfi and Stream.
