John simkins sat on a counter high
IN his masters shop IN a crowded street;
missing he sat, with vacant eye,
And loosely dangled his idle feet
What 10 Simpkins were dry goods then,
What the measure OF cloth and tape,
AS he dreamed his dream OF prlmevd men
And DarWins views OF an ancient apef
Atoms and worlds, and molecules
Rolled by in maze with bObbin ana twist
MeaalOSaurus, neur0sis, and spoOls.
The moral law and the Unlngen schist.
Questions mighty, OF grave import,
Surged and tossed in his iiaoby brain
Science, religion, squirt, and ret0rti
Cotton, and sntediiuvian rain.
He pondered Of many a brachiopod,
AnthrOpOid caDsrs and Eimian tricks,
And he doubted whether there was q Co.'s
And whether the boss would close at six.
Customers came and customers went,
Yet Simpkins sat in n study brown;
Never an ear to one he lent,
Never displayed "hand-me-doWn.'
rendering still OF science rare,
Streams OF stars and the milky-wey,
Floculll IN the tail OF the Bear,
And whether the Hebrew 'yam' meant
"day."
The boss called John to his side aud said:
PHILOSOPHY II never do here, my son,
You hain't no sort Of business head.
you're bounced, my son." He hied him
away,
Yet pondered still OF the brachiopOd;
J ell he sighed, 1T IS just As The scientists say,
always knew that there wasn't no God !"
o men, my brothers, just think what you do
When you turn the head OF a tailor's clerk,
And 90 and give him cOsmic clew,
When instead Of that he should mind his
work
For the wise should know what 10 Is that wins
The strife in this dTeary world Of woe
Cosmic philosophy or pins,
Evolution or calico.

The States are thus shown to be in
default. But two cases OF actual repudi
alton have yet occurred. Mississippi has
repudiated Der bonds of 1929 and 1889,
although she actually received the
money for a part of them. Minnesota
has dishonOred s., 225, 0G0 OF her State
railroad bonds ever since 1858. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether these are the
precursors of futher reputation. Ger
tainly in these defaults the first step has
been taken. Besides Minnesota and
Mississippi, which have repudiated, and
Indiana, which made a forced eompro-
mise with its bondholders in 1916, and
Missouri, which refuses to pay its in
teresJ in gold, although distinctly bound
to do so, the defaulting States gave been
embarrassed either by the war, the pro-
to railroads. These circumstances en-
title them TO consideration, provided
they forthwith recognize the just claims
against them, and provide for them by
some funding scheme. An immunity
from prosecution is enjoyed by these
States under the eleventh amendment
to the constitution Of the United States,
which provides that the judicial powers
of the United States shall not 'eXtend to
any suit in law or equity commenced or
prosecuted against one Of the United
States by citizens of another State OF by
citizens or subjects of any foreign State
But for the credit of their country, and
their own reputation, and the preserva-
ton Of their financial status, these
States should not stOOp to seek this
technical protection.

A remarkable and very beautiful
shade Of blue is noticeable upon many
of the ornaments found In the tombs Of
Egypt. Analysis, some time since,
proved the color TO be formed by a COM
bination Of soda, sand and lime, with
certain proportions Of copper. From
these substances the ancient Egyptians
obtained three different products: First,
q peculiar kind of red, green and blue
grass; second, a brilliant enamel; and
lastly. this blue color, which was used
for painting. By synthetic experiments
Peligot has succeeded in securing this
peculiar shade Of blue, by heating to-
eether seventy-three parts Of silica, with
sixteen Of oxide Of copper, eight Of lime
aud three OF soda. The temperature
should not exceed eight hundred degrees
Fahrenheit, as, in sucn q case, a value
less black product is the result.
