A Count with a mighty Arm.

There are stories of strong men who
did not appear in public. A butcher
lived in South Holland who killed calves
by strangling them. A Dutch count, in

against his left arm, protected by a
leather bandage, bending it afterward
strsieht again by beating it tho other

PROGRESS IN SCIENCE.

A recent departure III obtaining extra
draught for furnaces Oh steamships
without the use of blowers or other de-
vices has been successfully tried Oh the
Cape mail line. The vessel has been
furnished with smokestackS 120 high

draught is equivalent to water press
ure of tlree-fourth5 of an inch. The
vessels speed is nineteen knots.
Many years ago an ocean steamship
made only ten or twelve revolutions of
tie engine, using only five pounds of
steam pressure. With this she averaged
about eight knots. High-powered ships
of the present day use thirty-siX times
TINS pressure. and make seven times
tile revolutions. Their speed is only
two and half times as great.

The accounts that much success has at
tended the efforts to enforce a rigid
regimen for the first day of the week.
1t is difficult for one familiar with
American cities, or even those OF other
British populations, to understand how
the people there can adjust themselves
to such regimen. but it seems to be a
settled condition. and not a casual Spasm
as similar passages are usually In this

1t may be readily believed that the day

with a saIOOnkeeper on the street the
Chicago irate learned why no brides
could tempt the dispensers of intOXi-

to $50, and this makes a big monopoly
among the possesSors of the lucrative

STATE COMMENT.

If an extra session should be called it
would take until next Christmas for the
lawmakers of Minnesota TO agree on ap-
propriating 100000 more. We don't
believe they could ever pass bill ap-
prOpriating this amount. The legisla-
ture made mistake when it did not
appropriate more than $5000O as such
sum is wholly inadequate, but it
would surely not be advisable TO call
an extra session now, when the chances
are fifty to one that the legislature
would not make an additi onal appro-
riation.-Litchfield Review.
We do not believe that our legislators
can afford to give their time to such
meeting, neither do we believe that
sufficient new light has been received
upon the subject to lead them to change
their ideas of Minnesota's needs to such
an eXtent.-Renville Union.
The Leader is decidedly opposed to
any move towards calling an extra ses-
sion or the legislature to increase the
world fair appropriation. 1t would be
equivalent to asking the members of
the senate and house, Ibid you realize
that you were ID fools when YOU
stances they would not be likely TO
ameliorate the misery of the commits
Sioners who want more money to spend.
Hutchinson Leader.
Either the governor dtd not know that
prize fighting in Minnesota is unlawful,
or else he had no desire to suppress the
fight. There is no comfort for the>gov-
ernor or his friends in either horn of
the dilemma. WI a. credit is due to the
governor for taking heroic measures to
suppress the fight when. at the last mo-
ment. he was compelled to do so. is

cannot escape for having failed to take

THE NATURAL EFFECT.

1t appears from recent data published
that this country had a few months ago,
before the S7OO01000 of gold went over
the water, a volume of currency per
capita greater than ever before in the
history of the nation, and exceeded by
only one important nation of the world.
The gold is coming back soon to pay for
grain. and more with it, so that with the
constant increase of silver certificates
there will be more money in the cOun-
try than there has ever been. There is
less chance for financial stringency
where the amount of currency is liberal,
but it is a mistake to suppose, as some
assume, that the amount of currency
increases the prosperity of land. The
theory that the government can
create prosperity by engaging in enter
priSes not warranted by the conditions
of the country and diffusing a vast
amount of currency is a mistake. An
illustration was afforded in the Argen-
tine Republic. That government Dor
rowed all it could, and swelled its own
issues enormously to create prosperity
by the construction of a vast railway
system. among other enterprises to af-
ford employment. Two years ago the
country had 5,150 miles of railway open,
and last January $500 miles were under
contract. In March 1910 miles were
open to business. Out of the thin y rail
ways the government owned four, and
was obligated to pay 5per cent interest
on the cost of twelve OF them. The
population is about that of Ohio, spread
over several dozen such states. The
government is bankrupt. and business
paralyzed. This is the logical effect of
unnatural stimulation and defiance of
the conditions that promote enduring
prosperity.

TAXING BACHELORS.

The discrimination the legislature of
Wyoming has made against bachelors
in tax of 50 a year may be presumed
due to the fact that women vote in that
state, and have all the political func-
tons and opportunities of men. The
amount is absurdly small if 1t is de-
signed TO impel men to matrimony as a
matter of economy. No bachelor in
that peculiar state is going to marry to
save 81. The tax is palpably designed
to put mark of disapprobation upon
the class. deserved no doubt as a rule.
but not happy device to allure tn at
element Of society to Wyoming 1t con-
veys a suspicion, also, that special re-
luctance exists to make wives of the
material found in that state. 1t is not
intimated that voting and operating
in political affairs render young fe-
male citizens less attractive ana low
able. 1t is not known that there has
been any special fiocking in that di-ec-
ton by those who would have hus-
bands. but the suspicion that the tax
has this sort of inspiration is calculated
TO prejudice the bachelors against the

a TExAS EXPERIMENT.

The new act being put in operation in
Texas on the color line in railroad traV-
cling has the same sort of Indictment
that was manifested by the G. A. r. at
Detroit in refusing utilization with the
organizations of colored veterans. This
Texas law requires all railroads to have
separate cars for the races, the provision,
however, beingmet by partitions in cars
with doors. The whites must keep out
of the negro compartments under the
same penalty as the cOlored people pay
for getting into the white part; that is.
from s. to S25. Heavy fines are imposed
on the railroads for disregarding the
law. AS the act requires that the re-
spective accommodations shall be
equal in all points of comfort
and convenience, it would seem
that the darkies have rather the
best OF it, as not so many of
them travel and they have more room.
1t is said that upon the first train out of
Austin on the enforcement of the law
Sixty-fOur whites were packed into one
coach, while four cOlOred persons had
an entire car, The law is not likely to
be popular with the railroads if it COM
pels them to provide separate sleeping
and chair cars for the blacks, as must be
the case if the spirit of the act is carried
OUT. As negro is defined to be every
person of African descent, it is said that
the conductors nave difficulty to dis
eliminate among the brunetteS. In one
case MeXicans were ordered to the
negro car. This sort of business is re-
garded by many in Texas as absurd, but
objections do not come with much grace
from those who would put into the
outer courts fellow soldiers of the Ham
tic cuticle.
