A "CONDITION"-NOT A THEORY"

The franchise of the street railway
company provides that cars shall not be
run at rate of speed exceeding ten
miles an hour, but it is doubtful if there
has been a day since the operation of
the road began that this rate of speed
has not been exceeded, especially on
Harris street, below Ninth and East of
Thirteenth. Councilman Donovan
called attention to the matter in the
city council some weeks ago, saying
that cars were run as fast as twenty
miles an hour and urging in the inter-
est of public safety that the council ex-
ercise its authority and enforce the pro-
vision of the ordinance limiting the
speed to ten miles. But nothing was
done. The company ought also to be
required to equip all the cars with
wire guards in front of the wheels,
which are so fashioned and fastened as
to prevent such distressing accidents
as that of yesterday.

The only way TO retain health of body
and mind in this rushing. high pressure
American life is to have fad What
ever your daily occupation is, leave it
behind you when you quit workshop,
Office or fields and amuse yourselves
with something that interests you out
side of them. Get something as far
from the grind of your daily work as
possible.
One busy man relaxes the mental ten
sion by cultivating trees and shrubs,
ard beautiful and useful fad this is.
Another chooses gardening and fruit
culture. Charles A. Dana has one of
the rsrest, finest collections of shrubs.
flowers and orchids on his island at Glen
Cove that exists in the world. This is
his fad-one of them at least Commo-
dore Vanderbilt loved horses, and at
times they seemed to be the only crea-
lures he did love. So Robert Bonner's
fad is horses. August Belmont's favor
lite relaxation was placing American
horse racing on a basis where gentle
men might engage in it. Vice Fresi-
dent Morton's model farm and unri-
vailed herd of Guernsey cows at Rhine
beck serve to rest him and unstring the
drawn bow Of his mind.
Some study music and find in it a
refuge from the loads Of care that
crush all who do not throw them off;
others collect natural history speci-
mems; Others go in for athletics or fish
ing; yet others find in the study Of
psychology and weird psychic phe-
nomena that which takes them out Of
the everyday world for the time being.
But fad every intensely busy person
must have or lose his grip.

People often ask what is the use of the
abstract studies scientific men and wom-
EN- often indulge in. The reply is you
must first discover a new truth before
you can tell whether you can make any
value Of it. The valuable discovery
that the black rot can be prevented from
injuring grapes by inclosing the bunch
in a paper bag is the direct result of
scientific studies.
When it was found that the rot was
caused by fungus growing from lit
tie seed or spore which, floating through
the atmosphere, attaches itself to the
grape berry, it was the easiest thing to
think of putting bags over the bunch
early in the season so that the spore
couldn't get there. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have been saved to the
cultivator by this bagging of grapes
which would have been totally lost but
for the labors Of scientific men.

walled Cities of Italy.

Necessarily the romantic and histor-
ical charm of English walled cities is
but small compared with that of CONT
mental cities. The walls of Rome, for
instance, are standing monuments of
the city's history from the earliest times
to within the last half century; but
owing to the extraordinary character
and variety of other antiquarian objects,
they hardly come in for that share of
the visitors attention which they de-
serve. Yet an inspection Of them, with
their ancient and medieval gates, the
many styles Of their construction, each
pointing to a particular period of their
history, their size and strength. their
odd little hooks and corners and their
picturesqueness, is worth a journey,
which convinces the stranger that they
would form the chief attraction of any
other city but Rome.
Indeed, as is not surprising, Italy is
nest of ancient walled towns, and we
may note all degrees of grandeur, from
the still formidable looking zones which
surround Geneva La Soperba or Firenze
La Bella to the quaint little lines of
Notifications which zigzag up the vine
clad hillsides of the north coast of the
Mediterranean, surrounding in many in
stances mere villages, but speaking elo-
quently to us of those hard, stirring
times when the hand of every man was
against his neighbor.-Cor.C Chicago Her

Persian Swords.

The swords of Hindostan are of end
less variety in size and shape, the most
common being the "tegha" and ''tal-
war, broad, much curved blades, wrong
ly styled scimitars, the real scimitar
being a clumsy chopperlike weapon,
nearly straight and widening t. the
point. There is the "khanda," neAvy
straight sword with basket hilt, like the
Scottish claymore. The khanda was an
object of worship to the Rajputs, pre-
cisely as to the Scythians. The "pata,"
or gauntlet sword, much used by the
Mahrattas, was a development of the
"katar," having a long rapier blade,
often of Spanish make, and a cylindrical
hilt, into which the arm was passed to
the elbow. The Persian sword, how
ever, was valued above all others, and
particularly those of Khorassan.
These are the real Damascus blades"
the damascening being produced by the
crystallization of the steel. Connois.
seurs recognize ten different varieties of
watering or "jauhar;" and the most in
credible prices have been given for
fancy specimens. But the great brittle
ness of these swords makes them unfit
for use by Europeans, who would shiver
them to pieces by "swashing blow"
while the oriental employs their razor
edge only for the drawing" cut

The first Gun of the War.

Wallace Hight, of Bloomington, Ind,
has written a letter to Quartermaster
Pope and also one to Mr.. George J.
Langsdale inquiring about a gun he
made in the spring of 1861, which now
seems to be lost The gun is a smooth
bore bronze six-pounder, just the same
as a regular government gun, but has
no government brand on it. 1t was
made Of the same metals, however-cop-
per and finland Mr.. Hight says it can
be recognized by some flaws near the
muzzle. The government never accepts
a gun with flaws. The nails inside the
ammunition chest are iron, plated with
copper, because at the time Mr.. Hight
could not secure copper nails. He made
the gun at the instance Of Governor
Morton, and it was the first gun made
to put down the war. The last Mr..
Hight heard of the gun was in this city,
and that was at the close of the war.
Major Pope will try hard to unearth it.

NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICS

Witty in politics, whether displayed by
an individual or newspaper. 1t be-
lieves in party organizations, but not
in meek subserviency to the dictates of
machine politicians who have no prin

apart from schemes for their own per-
sonal advancement. 1t glories in the
grand achievements of the Republican
party, and firmly believes in the great
economic principles so clearly set forth
in its platform. 1t cherishes an honest
belief that the general policy of that
party Is best calculated to facilitate the
development of our marvellous re-
sources, protect our industrial enter
prises and promote the highest welfare
of the people.
But a newspapers political affila-

Richardt Wounded by Mistake
The Trial Postponed.
William Larsen was arrested last

ing came up last Saturday morn
ing in the Police Court, and was
postponed until Wednesday.
The particulars of the case are
stated to be as follows: Larsen has
been a stock raiser for some time,

One morning abe at the time men
toned above he saw two men APP
proach his ranch on horseback. He
called for them to halt; they did not
obey him and be leveled his shot
gun with the intention Of tanning

wounded man Larsen discovered his
mistake, and Immediately had the
man brought to shelter, summoned
a surgeon and did everything he
could to relieve the condition of the
man. Larsen is out on $1,000 bail.

bers on the War Path.
The Hui Kalaiaina met at Robin
sons Hall on Saturday evening,
about twenty-five members being
present. The meeting lasted nearly
two hours, bat no new business was
transacted.
& long discussion ensued regard
ing the committee of fifteen elected
at the previous meeting to hold
nominating conventions at the cleo
toral wards. Several members, in
Guiding the President, took part in
the controversy, which reached
"boiling point" several times.
President Kahoonei was so worked
up that polite addresses of Mr..
President" only met with such
abrupt answers, as You wait till I
get through !" "You sit down !"
etc, accompanied by tremendous
shaking up of the presidential table
with his huge cane. After this warm
deliberation Of over an hour, the
committee was finally discharged.
A motion to reconsider it was met
with merciless opposition.
The President declared that time
was wasted because there were many
" sensible members on the commit
tee which he did not favor. The
uneducated were more to his liking,
and he could get on smoothly with
them because "birds Of a feather
flock together"
A little before 9 o'clock motion
to adjourn was made, and the Presi-
dent, in his confusion, forgot to put
the motion before the house, but
hurriedly put on his hat and walked
out, the rest doing likewise. Thus
ended laughable meeting.
