The Muskct rs . Social Force.

The student of history reading the bill
of rights sees in every clause the result
of some successful war fought to wiring
a concession of that particular principle
from the dominant class. The musket
has steadily led the way and supported
every extension of the boundaries OF
freedom. Without SO irresistible a
weapon within reach of every mans
hand, the world would still be prostrate
under the hoofs of an equestrian aristoc'
racy, whose despotism would only be
tempted by the tyranny Of kingcraft.
Artillery is monarchic, cavalry aristo-
cratic and infantry democratic. Armol
and the horse brought about the rule of
the few over the many; cannon helped
make one man ruler over all, while the
musket is the agent of the popular will
and the pioneer of universal suffrage.
"All the government" says an eminent
philosopher, depends upon the power OF
the majority to whip the minority" The
fundamental principle of democracy il
that the wishes of 1000 men shall pre-,
veil over those of 900 men, and the mus
ket gives the 1000 men the physical
power to enforce their will upon the 9Oo
men."-Popular Science Monthly.

Something Better Than Gymnasiums.

Something Hetter Than Gymnaslums.
/ was talking with George Hanlon
about the exercise such athletes as he
recommend for the ordinary man to
pursue in. order to keep the muscles
properly developed. He said: Il am
down on gymnasiums for ordinary pur-
poses. They overdo the thing. Too
often they are presided over by men who
only care for the members subscription
and take but little heed as to his course
of exercise. Heavyweight lifting l won't
tolerate. 1t is most pernicious in its ef-
feots on the body, and improves one set
of muscles at the expense of another.
@What 1 recommend is the plain, old
fashioned rubber bands or tubes. Fasten
them to the wall, about breast high, and
then begin. There is no particular for
mula to go through. Motions will suggest
themselves. Another set of rubbers can
be fastened lower down and the legs ex-
ercised by them. I have peculiar notions,
too, about bathing. I don't believe in
a. comfortable room. Wet towel, wiring
it out thoroughly, and wipe the surface
of the entire body. Wet it again, but
leave little more moisture in it, and
rub the body again. Once more, with
still more water on the towel, and then
rub off dry. Our family has found that
by all odds the best method. d."-Chicago

Tho Rich nIan and the Poor.

.Contentment is not the result Of the
satisfaction of the physical wants 80
much as it is the result Of the satisfying
of the sympathetic wants of men. The
American workingmen are not starving,
not even in our factory towns, but SER
wants, and butchers, and bakers, and
candlestick-makers and men of every
degree and station who are under en-
ployers and cut off, by lack of means and
refinement, from those of their fellows
whose life seems to be free and delightful,
are starving for that kindlier treatment,
for that recognition of the identity, as
well as the difference, between them and
the rich, which the rich ese not always
graceful in according. The rich man
stands beside the poor man and the first
thing he notices is the difference, but if
he is as much of a man as he should ne
will notice, too, the identity.
The differences are many, and most OF
them differences which ofttimes might be
overcome by change in the circum-
stances of either. The identity is some
thing deeper and less easy to change.
It is that they are both men, with hopes
aroused by much the same things, with
possibilities of hatred born of the same
causes, with the same general tempta-
tions and repentances, with the same
longings for affectionate appreciation,
with the same personal pride and the
same struggling painting desire for rest
and peace.-"Penta,lr" in Kansas City

Making n New Merry Oasis.

The Russians who are singularly sus.
ceptible to new ideas and display an
audacity in engineering which has repeat
edly led them to act as pioneers in reduc.
ing theory to practice, have fixed their
minds on a new enterprise, well calcu-
lated to set on edge the teeth of English
and Indian statesmen. This is no other
than the formation of a new oasis, as
large as that of Merv, along the new
frontier to the Oxus, which the Afghan
delimitation commission will delneate
as soon as the spring weather enables ii
to quit it's winter quarters at Tchans'
hambe. e.. -.. IT,. o..
Briefly, the scheme, which by the way
is not a mere newspaper project, but
sober engineering design, complete in all
details, and drawn up on the spot by the
surveys of .Annenkoff, the constructQl
of the Transcaspian railway, provides
for cutting the bank Of the Oxus near
Tchardzhni, and allowing the water to
run afresh through some ancient chan.
nels running in the direction Of Merv
There is no particular novelty in the idea,
the oasis of Khiva being formed entirely
of country irrigated by an elaborate sys'
tenn of canals running out from the
Oxus near its entrance into the Aral sen,
while the Merry oasis is of a similar
character, and uses up all the water OF

Che Bursting of a Cannon on the Prince
ton-A Historical Reminiscence.
In the congressional cemetery also lies
buried the Hon. Abel Parker Upshur,
President Tylers secretary of state, who
was killed on the steamer Princeton by
the bursting of a cannon. This terrible
accident, by which two members of
President Tyler's cabinet and three other
persons lost their lives, occurred the 26th
of February, 1914. Gen. John Tyler, Jr.,
is probably the only survivor of that ac-
cident now living. In conversation the
other day he gave me very vivid de-
scription of the event. He said:
Commodore Stockton was regarded as
the most advanced man in the navy of
his day. He had made many improve
ments in various ways, and among others
had made two large wrought-iron can
non. He called these the 'Peacemakers.
He invited the president and his cabinet
to take trip down the POTOMAC on the
Princeton TO test these guns. They had
been shot several times before dinner,
and the sport had been enjoyed greatly
by all present. At the close of the meal
Secretary Gilmer remarked to Commo'
dore Stockton:
"4t is good while since we heard
that gum "
"The commodore regarded this as an
order, coming as it did, from his superior
officer, and so rose Immediately and
passed on deck, followed by Messrs. Up
shur, Gilner, and the rest. My father
was little in the rear. Secretary Gil
mer turned to me as he went above and
said: will you look after Mrs. Gilmer !?
I knew what this meant, as Mrs. Gilmer
was delicate, and the loud report made
her nervous. So stayed behind. 1t
hardly seemed that they had had time
to reach the deck before the aw-
full report was heard. I felt sure that
something terrible had happened, and
Fastening up the terrifying scene was be-
fore me. There was some unforeseen
defect in the piece which had withstood
the former discharges but had yielded at
last. Commodore Stockton was up to
that time one of the most popular men
in the country. He would, in my opin'
ion, have been president some time had
it not been for this accident. People in
some way indirectly attributed the fault
of this to him."-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

OLD CALENDARS AND ALMANACS.

customs of Rome and Greece What
Was Found In Pompeii.
Calendars and alnanacs in these
modern days, when meteorology Is
science and astrology is no longer be-
Ieved in only by the few, have become
largely mere records of days ORDINARY
and specially, repositories of all manner
of information and facts, chronicles OF
past events, etc. They were, however,
very different things in times when the
practices of prophesying, planet ruling,
etc., were fully believed in.
It is said to have been the custom from
the earliest ages in Rome and, perhaps,
in Greece also, to publicly proclaim the
opening of each month in some public
place. and then and there to affix to some
pillar, exc, a table of the days of the
months, and the religious festivals, for
the information of the people. From
this circumstance the first day of the
month was called Kalcnd or Calend, a
word derived from the Greek verb Kaleo
q proclaim), and the placards were called
Fasti CaEendareS.
The oldest example at present known
of such an almanac or calendar IS one
now preserved in the Museo Borbonico at
Naples, and is formed of a square block
of marble, 1t was found at Ponpen
and may have been public property or
have belonged to some wealthy citizen
who had a house of dependents requir-
