An old colored man about 70 years old,
calling himself Uncle Dick. created sen
sation in this town Monday with q mag
ni6cent rattlesnake four feet long, having
nipe rattles. Uncle Dick, the ''snakc
charmer, /" surrounded by crowd Of Wash
ingtenians, took a glass Of cold water.
sw wslloved it. rolled mp his sleeves, made
several cabalistic signs, and finally plung-
ing his right hand into a sack in his basket
brought out, TO the ama8 ment Of the spec
tators, a mopstrous rattlesnake. The rep
tile slowly coiled himself around the neck
and arm OF the old man, while its head
rrared the white beard of Uncle Dick, who
in return was caressing with gentlenoss the
reptile and talking TO IL as If IL were q
baby.
After handling the snake for twenty
minutes the old man announced that be
was going TO swallow part Of the reptile.

Rough on Bengel.

Bsngel and SchaumrOth were chums.
They entered the university the same year,
they roamed together, took their meals TO-
gether and, in short, their intimacy was as
nearly of the Damon and Pythlas order as
modern times would permit. II was by no
means an uncommon thing with them 10
come home late or in the condition they
were that particular night. Their usual
plan, however, of making their way up
stairs, failed to work. Bengel lost his hold
on SchaumrOth AT the steps, and fell close ID
the wall. The other kept on, bat when he
reached their bedroom he was hOrrlned 10
find he had somewhere dropped his friend.
Getting down the best he could he Stun
bled over Bengers PROSTATE body. Taking
up the by this time snoring sleeper he
dragged him bedwards and with one
mighty effort landed him in.
Returning 10 the street for his hat and
cane, his hair stood almost on end TO see
Bengel again lying in his former place on
the pavement. How did he get out! What
strange magic was here at work! Schaum-
rOth's head was not sufficiently clear To
solve the problem, so nothing was left for II
but TO raise him on his shoulder, mount the
stairs, and project him as before into their
common couch.
Satisfied that all was now right, he went
out 10 make another search for the missing
articles. Uul lutIc was tHc Iic'ie1Di' p.h-
gel before him, this time sufficiently awake
10 talk.
"Schaumroth, old boy" he said, ''this

took it for "a Joke. but, you know, fellow

The horrible truth then came upon his I'M
fortunate friend. In the dim light mistak-
ing the white curtains for the hangings OF
their bed, he had been throwing poor Bengel
out of the bed room window.-New York

A chm Is. generally speaking. an index

or woman with the long, Hat chin, known
as the jimber-aw, is apt 10 be laxative,

her sex. The cleft or dimpled chin-clelt in
man, dmpled in Woman-indlcates gentle

and in some cases curved chin, shows that
its proprietor is INSCRIPTIONS. The short,
fiat, characterless chin means Obstlnacy
and an absolute lack Of the business faculty
Furtiye and suspicious eyes often look out

There are other chins, the shape Of which

such, for instance, is a Maine farmer

his struggle with arOck-strewn inheritance,
and such is the protesting embittered chin

French View of Blaine.

How shall we characterize the protection
list insanity Of the Republican majority,
which makes il rain tariff reyisions and
prohibitive laws at Nashington' our
vocabulary does not yet include the expires
sion, custom house JacObinism; but the
thing signited by that phrase is revealed t.
us in all its nastiness by the governmental
party in the United States. The intention
of that party is to prohibit all importation
from Europe into the New World, and IN
order that the capital punishment with
which foreign commerce is threat
ened may be inflicted with more
malignant cruelty, Mr.. Blaine, who in
fact leads the protectiOnlst campaign, mas
conceived the idea Of comforting on the Pres
ident Of the I nited States the power 10 de-
cree reciprocity. that is, 10 allow the Presl-
dent, at his discretion, 10 temporarily or
permanently prohibit the importation from
European country. Of every commodity,
similar 10 any American product which
that country denOunces rs not genuine.
With our mania for publishing the results
Of the analyses. which are made IN our mum
icipal laboratories, we will furnish abundant
material for the exercise Of this anna
bic "recprOcity," which seems 10
be aimed at France in particular, for
the Republicans OF America have
done us the honor tOdeyOte special article
Of their law 10 our wines, which, according
10 them, are all adulteratOd. Let us long
more than ever for the return to power OF
the free-trading Democrats; and, mean
while. if our merchants and artists have
proper sense Of dignity, let them publicly
refuse to take part in the Chicago EXhibl-
ton. let the Americans in power. who are
thinking more of their salt pork than OF the
refined and artistic contributions we can
bring them be responsible for the loss OF an
elegant French object lesson.
Next November we shall find ourselves
again in friendly sympathy with the United
states. The result Of the Congressional
elections will certainly be favorable 70 the
Democrats, who will begin by passing a
law worthy Of true civilization, the bill
with regard 10 literary property.
The influence of Mr.. Blaine is disastrous
everywhere. His Pan-American combina-
ton led to and are now perpetuating the
hOstilities between San salvador and Qua
temala. President BaOrllas attacked sal
yadOr, only bebause she had entered into an
understanding wsth Nicaragua and Costa
Rica to oppose the federation, which Mr.
Blaine dreamed would be advantageous 10
Guatemala and the IlOndurasr and this Is
the ground on which the war is continued.
Recently Guatemala, after being beaten by
General EZeta, again attacked san salvador,
Of which the General is the temporary Pres
ident. This attack. like the first one, was
made while peace was being treated Tor ON

General Grants Courtship.

BITS FROM TIE MAGAZINES.
MONEY INTERESTS IN POLITICAL
AFFAIRS.
Recent Economic Changes-Prohibition
Ideas In England and France-shifting
Political Power-Access of Influence to

Political Power-Access of Influence to
Working Glasses.
One Of the most interesting portions Of
Mr.. David A. Wells book. Recent Eco
nomic Changes" is that in which he de-
scribes the progress which progressonist
ideas have been making in nearly all civil
lied countries except England during the
last twenty years. II was the general be-
lief in England, down TO the outbreak Of
the Franco-Prussian war. that in spite OF
the United States the Western World was
rapidly approaching period ofunrestricted
commercial intercourse. Since then there
has been great reaction. France went
over 10 protection in 1881, as soon as she
could get rid Of the treaty with England !;
Italy and Austria in 1878 Germany and
Canada in 1919 Switzerland in lss1 ROu-
mania in 1886 Belgium and Brazil in 1887,
in which the United States raised its already
high duties.
Mir. Wells accounts for this curious re-
yillsiOn by economic causes, which he
acknowledges to be numerous aud complex;
but. in my opinion. they are due mainly TO
occurred in every European country except
Russia, between 1860 and 1880, by the spread
Of universal suffrage. Between 1876 and
1866 Europe was ruled by the upper and
professional classes, who had been won
over 10 the doctrine OF free trade as
preached by Adam Smith. and who could
not have been driven from their
position By any such economic pheno-
mena as Mr.. Wells describes. Nor was
there anything in the depression OF 1913 to
take free-traders aback. The European
trade of the six natiOns-Austria, Belgium,
France, Holland, Italy and Great Britain
increased during the years rom 1860 to 1873
more than one hundred per cent. Ii is very
difficult to believe that the class which had
introduced the free-trade policy into Eu-
rope at the middle Of the century, over
looked these things. and were convinced by
the depression of 1873 and the few following
that low tariffs were mistakes.
The establishment of the Republic in
France, Of the Empire in Germany, OF the
new Kingdom Of Italy, and Of the Dominion
OF Canada, brought an immense access OF
influence, if not Of power. to the working
classes. The wide extension Of the suffrage
began to make itself felt rs never before IN
all the great nations except Russia. The
Catheder SOcialisten. or professional social
lists, which turned Adam smith and the
Manchester school Of irce-traders into ridi-
Guile, also exercised considerable influence
by the dissemination of their views.
Now, the political economy of the work
ing class, in the present state Of their cul-
ture. all over the world, is simply summed
UP. They think in money, and not IN goods.
That is to say, they measure their condition
by the amount Of cash they receive every
week or month, and only rarely, always
reluctantly, and by sort OF mental effort,
test the value Of their wages by the cost of
their living.
