A Political Thunderbolt.
Raleigh,N. C\, February 2.?Special:
Tbe appointment to-day by the Presi
dent of the Uuited States of District
Attorney Holton and Marshal Milliken,
of the Eastern North Carolina
district, to succeed themselves for a
third term each, has almost paralyzed
the leaders of both wings of the Re- publican
party in this State. Tbest
were the only two prominent Federal
officeholders which both elements of
the party bad agreed should not be reappointed.
> The Republican State chairman.
Rollins, thought be had a cinch on tlx
district attorneyship,and Congressman
Blackburn, who leads the other win*,
of the party, had been conceded th*
marshaiship for a pesonal friend it
payment for not antagonizing Rolling
appointment to the office of district atattorney.
Blackburn had presented
the name of this friend, Clint Wagoner,
of Statesville, to the President
and was absolutely sure he would ge
the plum, and Wagoner bad already
begun preparations to take the offiict'
in a few days.
District Attorney uoiton and Mar- ?
4 shal Milliken have been and are still C
making it very uncomfor.able for sora?
of the revenue agents who have beei
defrauding the Government, and th<
prosecution of some of tbem is still going
on in the Federal Court at Greensboro.
It is said that the department
of justice, being pleased with the official
record of these officials, took h
hand in the fight and urged tne President
to reappoint both men, with the
^ result so unexpectedly announced to
the politicians of this State to-day.

ROMANS LIKE SECRECY.
Do Not Want Straagon to See Tinti
Household Arrangements.
It soems to be a part of the real sim
;>licHy of the Italian Latin to put oq a
juito useless look of mystery on all occa
lions, and to assume the air of a conspirator
when buying a cabbage, and more
;han one great foreign writer has fallen
nto the error of believing the Italian
iharacter to be profoundly complicated.
Due is apt to forget that It needs muob
leeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ince of frankness under trying ciroumitances
than to make a mystery of one'*
narketing and a profound secret of one's
sookery. There are few things which the
ioor Italian more dislikes than to be
ivutclied when he is buying and preparing
lis food, though he will ask any one to
ihare it with him when It is ready, but he
s almost as prone to hide everything else
hat goes on inside his house unless he hat
!air warning of a visit and full time to
)repare himself for it.
This is perhaps not entirely a race pecularity.
but rather a survival of mediaeval
ife as it was all over Europe. There are
iretty clear Indications in our own literaure
that the ladies and gentlemen of two
ir three hundred years ago did not like to
)e caught unprepared by Inquisitive vlslt>rs.
The silks aDd satins In which they
ir? nnrtravfirt wonld not have 'lasted a life
lime, as they did, If they bad been worn
ivery day. As for the cleanliness of those
lmes, the less said about it the better.
In Borne there was a long period during
vhlch not a single aqueduot waa in workng
order, and it was a trade to clear a sup>ly
of water out of the Tiber from a porion
of the yellow mud by letting it settle
n reservoirs, and to sell it in the streets
or all household purposes. Who washed
n those days? It is safer to ask the quesion
now than it would have been then.
Probably those persons washed who were
he fortunate owners of a house well or a
alnwater oistern, and those who had
lelther did not. Perhaps that was very
nuch the same all over Europe. It Is oeralnly
to the credit of Trastevere that it li

MARY ANDERSON'S WARDROBE.

i For Five Five Act Flaja.
Three months elapsed between Mary
Anderson's first appearance on the stage
,nd her second performance, "a beart
ireaklng Interval," writes Mrs. De Naarro
Id The Ladies' Home Journal. Manger
Macauley of Louisville then offered
ler his theater again for a week, and shs
resented the chief roles In five plays?
'Fazio," "The Hunchbaok," "Evadne,"
'The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo and
ruliet." Of her first week's engagement
he writes: "At the end of the week I was
n debt to the manager for the sum of 81,
he house having been large enough only
o cover the running expenses. All I had
ained by a week of bard work was a sad
leart and a very sore throat Besides,
redttors 'became unpleasantly importulate,
(or my soanty wardrobe was nob yet
aid for. This consisted of a white satin
iress, simply made, which did service for
11 the parts. It sparkled in silver triraalng
for Juliet, was oovered with pink
oses for Julia, became gay In green and
;old for Evadne and oloudy with white
aoe for Pauline. The unfoztunate gown
wed its many changes to the nimble and
rilling fingers of my mother, wbo spent
QQoh time each day in Its metamorphoses.
"A train of velveteen, a white muslin
Iress and a modern black silk gown,
rhloh, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought
would be so useful,' but which had to be
iiscarded after its first appearance, competed
my wardrobe?surely a meager one
or five plays of five acts each, requiring
t least 12 gowns. We bad bnllfe up
inanolal as well as artistic hopes for that
reek and were disappointed in both. But
b proved more successful than was at first
bought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar,
ne of the greatest Falstaffs of his time,
ngaged me for six nights at hlB St. Louis
heater. At the end of that time I found
ayself in his debt for the sum of f000, but
be honses had steadily Improved, And th?.
ress was filled with long artloles enthu
lastlo about the present and fall of protations
about the future."
The Swiss Band*
The Swiss bands marched to the mosta

be notation of one of their marobing
ongs being still preserved. The forest
antons also Bent a horn with their oomanies,
wbioh instruments were known
y nicknames, Bull of Uri, Cow of CJnterralden,
and the like. Their sound was
jag a note of terror to the men of Auaria
and Burgundy, and made a grand
allying cry for the Swiss in action. But
part from this, these horns appear to be
tie origin of the bugle horns which still
ppear on the appointments of our light
ofantry, and have displaced the drum as
be distinctive instrument of the foot sollar.

ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES
Explorer Borcbgrevink Thinks There
Be a Future For Commerce There.
The recent Antarctic expidition waa a
commercial one, and commercially It was
a failure, because we did not find the right
whale, bo valuable for its whalebone. The
Antarotlo was fitted out for tbe bunt of
that particular kind of whale; nevertheless
I bave no doubt that tbe commercial
result of the expedition would have been
much better bad we worked under more
favorable auspices.
I do not by any means consider the faot
of our not having met with the right
whale in those seas as conclusive proof of
their nonexistence in tbe buy at Victoria
Laud. The Antarctic found the right
whale at Campbell island in the winter
time; the boats fastened to five of them,
of which, however, only one was caught.
Now, to mo it does not seem improbable
that these whales go south to the bay of
Victoria Land, where Ross saw them, In
the summer, and return north in the win
tfir. It would seem incredible that a man
01 oxr Ofimea rwot*s B&auuiufj, auppuriuu t?a
be was by able soientists and experienced
whalers, should have made a grave error
whon he said that thi/valuable whale was
to be found In large numbers in those
southern latitudes.
The dlfleronce In the appearance of the
blue whale, as we found It there, and the
right whale, in the method of spouting, is
so striking that even the most casual observer
could not easily be deceived.- Very
possibly, had we penetrated farther into
the large open bay discovered by Ross in
the vicinity of the volcano peaks Erebus
and Terror, we, too, would have found the
right whale in great numbers. We saw
very many blue whales, but had not ths
appliances to take them.
As I remarked at the international geographical
congress, we found few soals.
They inoreased, however, in number as
we worked eastward, and seemed afraid
Of the land. All of the seals that we met
on the shore showed muoh uneasiness, and
speedily made for the water, a fact which
strengthened my belief in the existence ol
| a large enemy of the seal on the continent.
I do not doubt that the seals congregate
together in larger numbers at
some places on the bay.
I consider the guano beds which we discovered
of great commercial importanoe,
and they ought to be well worth the attention
of enterprising business men. The
specimen whloh I brought back with me
oontains a large percentage of ammonia.
Furthermore, from the analysis of the

with me, the possible and probable presence
of valuable minerals on the oontinent Is
proved, although the lava and the volcanic
aspect of tho ooast line do not speak favorably
for the presence of heavy metals
near the surface.?C. E. Borchgrevink In

How thi Chine** Count Tim*.
The Chinese sundial embodied the
usual prlnolple, but was crude indeed. A
rod or needle Mt upright refleoted a shadow
on a flat surface as the sun moved.
On this were characters indicating the
hours of the day. Tbe Chinese also used a
water dock called tbe clepsydra. It was a
disk of copper or other material, with an
extremely small aperture, from wblob the
water trlokled, drop by drop. The olepsydra
of Canton is thus described by a traveler:
"It is a vase of oopper. It is situated
in a pavilion built on a double aroh that
orosses a street leading from the great
south gate of the oity to the palaoe of the
treasurer of the Drovlnce. Like that which
existed, and perhaps exists still In the
Peking observatory, it is composed of four
oopper vases, whence water runs from one
to another by little tubes*flxed at the base.
The vase that rests on the floor has on Its
wooden oover a kind of handle, crossed by
a rule mounted on a float and ooveeed
with characters representing the hours.
When the water has run out?that Is, in
the morning or evening?it is poured again
Into the uppermost vase. There is a little
briok staircase by whloh the attendant ascends.
"In the temples there are attendants
whose business It is to hang up a placard,
with a white ground, on \thioh is indicated
the hour. They strike the hours of the
day on a drum, and at night they beat a
gong. The attendants who thus look after
the flight of time occupy the Intervals between
in making stloks of Incense, on
which are marked the hours. These are
sticks so arranged as to burn a certain
length of time for every hour, and these
are used by peasants and others. The
Btlok is lighted when the gong sounds,
and in this way the private Individual oan
keep very tolerable aocount of the boon
as they pass."?New York Ledger.
Painting the Lily.
Painting the lily has beooxne a literal
fact, not merely the poet's notion of the
wildest exaggeration. An army officer's
wife, writing from an out of the way
western town, tells of ayonng woman out
there, "quite the most refined person here
she is, too, who related to me, with much
pride, an Idea of her own whioh she bad
oarrled out for a recent silver wedding
'I cut some of our annunciation lilies,'
she explained, 'and pasted silver paper in
strips on the outside of the flowers. They
were very much admired.' "
This western artist (?) is equaled and
outdone by a Berlin soolety woman who
Bet out her dinner board lately with exquisite
flowers, on which mottoes and quotations
were painted In gold, silver and
various colors. On a deep purple heartsease
was a greeting in cream oolor on Its
surface, and other flowers had been equally
disfigured, at great expense of misguided
kill and money. Perhaps the worst outrage
was a lovely rose, bearing the complete
menu on Its petals.?New Sork
