A Curious Experiment.

Mr. Valerian Gribayedoff, the artist,
has been making a curiously interesting
experiment. The result shows that hair,
beard and dress have more to do with
the making of a mans physiognomy
than is generally believed. Elr. Gribaye-
doff placed the portraits OF six oldrevolu-
tionary WORTHLESS side by side with the
ikenesses of six noted men of the pres
ent day, Blaine, Edison, Sherman, Chaun-
cey Dapew, President Harrison and
Chamberlain Richard Croker, of New
York.
Then the artist changed them as fol-
lows: He drew the face of Blaine and
gave him the long, curling hair, high
collar and extensive white choker of
Thomas jefferson. To the face of Jeffer-
son he affixed the close cropped hair and
beard and clipper built neck wear Of
Blaine. He made Franklin trade hair
and dress with Edison, Chauncey Depew
change with John Jay, the Father of his
Country with President Harrison, Gen.
Sherman with old Nathaniel Greene and
Alexander Hamilton with the modern
New York politician, Mr.. Richard Gro
ker.
Mr.. Gribayedoff expected to show by
this experiment that great men will Ioo*
both like great men and themselves uE-
der all circumstances. The result was
exactly the opposite Of this, and aston
ished the artist more than anybody else
The most thoroughly insignificant look
ing of the lot was no ether than George
Washington himself, after he had been
clothed with the hair and beard OF
Harrison. Even his immortal nose was
lost. On the other hand, Harrison, with
the white hair of Washington swept
back from his forehead, with the ruffied
shirt front and velvet collar, looked
royal. His picture would readily have
been mistaken for that of Washington.
In the hair and beard Of Croker, Alex
ander Hamilton looks like foxy poll
tician, while in Franklin's hair and
dress Edison looks thoroughly the guide,
philosopher and friend. Of the whole
twelve, there are only two faces that
would be recognized under any circum-
stances. Those are 10th modern, and
they are James G. Blaine and William
Tecumseh Sherman

Growth or american Cities.

The peculiar feature in the increase of
the population Of the United States is
the marvellous growth of cities. The
country started with population almost
purely agricultural In 1880 there were
only S. cities that had an average popu-
lation of $4,000. In 1880 there were s36
cities with an average population Of
80, 800.
The population of the whole country
is sixteen times as great as it was in 1890,
but our city population is 100 times as
great. In 1890 the population of the
cities formed only one-thirtieth of the
whole number. In 1880 it was nearly
one-ouarter Whether this means good
or i'll to the country time only can tell.
Mr.. Alfred Bushnell Hart points out in
The Harvard Journal Of Economics that
this great increase in city population is
owing to our vast foreign immigration.
In the census of 1880 the proportion Of
foreigners to natives in the whole Union
was 10 per cent, but in the cities it was
81 per cent. In the larger cities the dis
r4oportion was startling. In 1899 80 per
cent. of the population of Boston was
foreign born, of New Ysrk 40 per cent.
and of San Francisco 40 per cent
Well, let US make honest, intelligent
American citizens OF their children, and
all well come right.

The French Revolution.

Through the efforts of President An
drew D. White, of Cornell university,
the American people have opportunity
to learn more of the real truth about the
French revolution than they have known
hitherto. Our only sources of informa-
ton have been English books, which are
VIGOROUSLY unfair to those who forced
the French revolution.
President White has been making his
torical studies on the subject, and his
conclusions are very different from the
old stereotyped notions of blood, dark
ness, blasphemy and chaos that most OF
us have imbibed According to Presi-
dent White the revolution was the rising
of gallant people against oppression
the most cruel and wickedness the most
outrageous of modern times. 1t was not
the common people that were wicked
and impious. 1t was the nobility, their
oppressors. The church of the time
sided with their oppressors, therefore the
people naturally, and with good reason,
ranked the church along with that which
they meant should be destroyed forever
Education was wholly in the hands of
the clergy, and they never taught the
people anything. After the revolution
ended it was the priests and the learned
who wrota its history, in England and
in France, and what wonder they col
ored it to suit themselves The people
had no penman-

Cuba and the United states.

Will Cuba ever be annexed to this
country? The -Spaniarls vow that it
never shallbe. But The time will come
when the e=bans themselves will have
something 10 say about it. Already we
are told the Cuban eye locks longinSly
across the water to the great republic on
the northward and westward.
Geographically the island certainly be-
longs with the United States. A glance
at the map is sufficient to show that.
Alphabetically Cuba is probably the rich
est spot on the earth. In prosperous
: times the island produced 10000, 900 OF
sugar annually, four-fifths of which went
to the United, States. She produces also
many million dollars worth OF cigars and
tobacco, and most of that too comes
across the narrow water to the United
States.
Tropical fruits of all kinds and coffee
and indigo are grown in abundance.
There is everything to make the agricul-
turist rejoice and grow rich in Cuba. In
| stead of that he mourns and laments,
and whole plantations, many of them
among the richest on this fertile island,
are left uncultivated and are returning
| to their native wilderness.
The reason is that the Cubans are
picked to the hone by taxation. A popu-
lation of 2,00O,00 they are forced every
year to send $50, 100000 to old Spain.
They are required, these 1900, 900 people,
to maintain standing army of $4,000
10000 more than the army of the United
States, with its 10000, 900 inhabitants.
On every article of commerce brought to
the island Cubans must pay duty of 40
per cent. Not only that, but there is an
export duty of 25 per cent. on all of I'M
happy Cuba's sugar, molasses, tobacco
and other articles that go out of the
country The people are actually taxed
for raising things to sell.
IF farmer is energetic and increases
his crops by good management and in
dustry, that is only an invitation to the
ruthless officials to impose more taxes
on him. What good is it to make money
only for Spain? So it has como about
that the planters produce only sufficient
crops to supply their own families, let
ting their lands run to waste. So ex-
ports decline, and Cuba grows poorer.
But there is such thing as taxing a
country to the point of revolt

Borrowing Our Namc.

Some neighbors to the south Of us who
desire to become a strong, prosperous
people are endeavoring to make fed
Grafton of the five Central American gov
ernments under the name of United
States of Central America. Articles of
confederation were formed some time
ago by a congress of delegates from the
republics that met in the state and city
of San Salvador. The compact was then
submitted to the republics for ratifica-
ion. Honduras, San Salvador and Guat-
emala have ratified; the other two, Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua linger. The union
sentiment is said not to be popular in
Costa RIGA. But if the confederation
should be formed there will then be the
United States Of Central America,
The United States of Mexico was pro
claimed in 1924, New Granada became
the United States of Colombia in 1861
and Venezuela took the name of United
States Of Venezuela in 1864 The last is
the United States of Brazil in 1889.

It is hard to believe, with the improved
and cheap appliances for heating railway
cars with steam, hot water and by chem

heated by the slovenly and murderous

The Soldering Machine.

In the old time in Pennsylvania there
was a regulator of public morals that
was worth all the vigilante and White
Cap organizations on record This was
the soldering machine"
The SOLDERING machine was simply an
ordinary wagon with the hind wheels re-
moved. A long box was then nailed
upon the axle over the front wheels. If
man was caught ii the town drunk he
was placed in the box fat upon his back.
Six sturdy and sober Pennsylvanians
then applied their muscle to the machine
and gave the victim such a ride out of
town as he had never had before. It was
also such 4 ride that he never wanted a
second one.
The same dose wassgiven to the wife
beater and the tEafpp, 1T was such good

place as plague infested spot. A ride
like that in plain sight Of his fellow men
was calculated to make drunkard, tramp
and wife beater shun a place that re-
called such unpleasant memories. Pho
neer justice in this country is something
the history Of which has never been fully
written. 1t would make interesting read
ing. A coat of tar and feathers was one
Of the condign punishments visited on
those who trespassed. 1t was not un-
common to crop the ears of horse thieves,

viduals thus marked for life,

Pathetic is that interview with the eX-
emperor of Brazil at Cannes. Bereft at
once of crown, wife and fortune. the
only consolation left him is literary pur-
suits, which he always loved, but had
little time for hitherto. The memoirs of
his life that the imperial exile is writing
will give the true story Of the Brazilian
revolution as the fatherly old emperor
saw it, but he will not let them be pub
Iished till after his death. He is positive
that the abolition Of slavery caused the
revolution.
Count dEu, Pedro's unpopular son-in-
law, wishes even now to go back and
fight it out, but the exile will not hear Of
this. He said to his interviewer:
Although dethroned and cruelty exiled, an
deeply interested in the progress and prosperity
Of the people of Brazil God knows did all in
MY power to give them satisfactory government,

reason and seemed to compel obedience to its be-
hests, whether right or wrong.
The old gentleman will not be apt to
live long. His heart is still with his be-
loved Brazil. He refuses to sell his es-
tates there. The correspondent asked
him:
IF you should be elected president of the re
public, as some of your friends propose to offer
your name, would You return TO Brazil?''

whether rs emperor, president or private citizen,

a case of considerable interest has
been decided in St. Louis. Some years
ago a citizen of Missouri insured his life
for the benefit of his wife. Insure peo-
pie are apt TO live long, and the gentle
mans wife died before him. Not only
that, but the insured husband lived on
and married a second wife. Finally he
lied, full Of years, having kept up the
insurance in its original shape. Then
naturally the second wife's children be-
gan to equabble with the FIRST wife's
about who was entitled to that insurance
money. The case was properly fought
')ver in the courts. When the lawyers
got what they considered their share Of
he money, what was left of it was duly
decided to belong only to the chill lren of
he first wife. Men who take out life
insurance policies. and at the same time
expect to be the husbands of two or more
wives, should be careful to specify to
which wife the insurance money goes.

Here is one way to waste time in
parliamentary manner: Move to ad-

move to sdjourn to fixed time. Call

considerable time once more. If that mo-
ton is also lost, you can then make the
plea that "other business has intervened"
since your other motion to adjourn, and
make another move for adjournment,
with another call for the yeas and nays.
