We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the peo-
pie or the people must own the railroads. and
should the government enter upon the work OF
owning and managing any or all railroads we
should favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the government
regulation of the most rigid character, SO as
to prevent the increase Of the power Of the
national administration by the use Of such
additional government employees.
We demand national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general government
only; full legal tender for all debts, public
and private, and that without the use Of bank
means of distribution, direct to the people, at
tax not to exceed per cent. per annum, to

We demand graduated income tax.
We believe that the moneys Of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the

that all national and state revenues shall be

We demand that postal savings banks be es-

Transportation being a means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
office system, being q necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and oper-

The land, including all the natural sources
Of wealth, is the heritage Of all the people, and
should not be monopoliZed for speculative pur-
poses, and an alien ownership Of land should
be prohibit ed. All lands now held by rail-
roads and other corporations in excess OF their
actual needs. and ali lands now owned bv
aliens should be reclaimed by the government

Methods of VuItures.

AS our party were ascending the gorge
which leads to Petra from the Wady-el-
Arabah, one of our camcls suddenly
dropped down dead. This was in the
evening, and we returned to our camp
without succeeding in our object that day.
But early next morning we started again
for Petra, and on reaching the carcass Of
the dead camel in the early dawn we found
about dozen vultures congregated around
1t, some of which had already gorged them
selves and were almost unable to fly. Now,
when the camel dropped down none Of
these birds were in sight, but here next
morning, while the carcass was quite
fresh, they had swooped down on their
prey. There could have been no smell of
carrion from this carcass, but it might
easily have been within sight of bird
soaring at high elevation, which would
have rendered it invisible to traveller at
the same time an animal of the size of a
camel lying motiOnless on the ground
would have been easily visible to valture
while out of sight
In order to account for the assembling of
group of vultures in so short time as is
here indicated, while none of these birds
was apparently within sight, we may sup
pose that the birds spread themselves at
wide intervals throughout an extensive
district and at a high altitude; each bird
scars about, keeping steady gaze On the
ground for the carcass of some animal, at
the same time being within sight of his fell
lows. AS soon as prey is sighted by one
of the group he swoops down toward it.,
and this action is signal to the other
birds that meal is to be had where the
bird descended, and they all flock down
accordingly.-London Spectator.

Learning to writa.

The question is being asked, both in Eu

ing. The physicians, too, aroused by their
own personal observations, have raised a
protest against existing methods of teach
ing writing. They hold that both myopia
and scoliosis, which develop so largely dur
ing school life, are distinctly traceable and
taught in writing lessons; that these harm
full postures are due to the "slope" or
"slant" of the writing; that the spine Will
certainly be twisted unless an upright style
of writing is adopted; that vertical writ
ing, if substituted for the prevailing "slop.
ing'' style, would obviate all of these trou
bles. 1t has also been shown by expert
ment that the vertical style of writing can
be taught more quickly than the "slop-
frg," and when learned is more legible

Hand to Mouth Buying.

One family in London, with an income
of about five dollars week, made seventy
two different purchases of tea during the
dve weeks. Inasmuch as this family never
took more than two meals day at home,
it is evident that they never bought more
than single drawing of tea at time
Seventy two purchases of tea in thirty five
days is two purchases a day Sunday iu-
cluded), and two extra. or these thirty
families it is evident that quite number
went to the grocery every day of their lives
not few of them several times day
This hand to mouth existence is at enmity
with thrift; it is scarcely possible that any
family should escape from poverty until it
learns wiser methods of expenditure. DIR

"A Coon Hunt in q CITY street.


The average man of guns and dogs would
scarcely think of hunting "de possum an de
coon" on Broadway. Yet down in the thick
est roar of metropolitan traffic have seen
a frantic band of street urchins chase the
nimble coon. A day or two ago market
man crossed over from the postoffice carry.
ing big sack of stuff toward the market.
He stopped to avoid street car, got close
rub from truck and had his sack knocked
off by the crowd on the walk. A lot of stuff
rolled out, and among other things round
ball of fur that pizzled the bystanders.
''It's hedgehog" said one.
mo, it's a COON" said another.
"Coon! It's u 'possum," exclaimed a
third.
Il meant a 'possum," explained the man
who had said it was coon.
Meanwhile a great crowd gathered and
only few could tell why they were there.
"He's dead" shouted one of these
who's deadf" asked man on the out
side. And people began to say somebody
had been killed. Somebody had been run
over by truck. They were waiting for an
ambulance. So the crowd grew bigger and
bigger, and in two minutes it had blocked
upthe street. Then two policemen swooped
down upon it and scattered it right and left.
One of the policemen picked up the round
ball and held it up by the scruff of the
neck. Two very keen eyes half unclosed
and shut quickly up again when they saw
fascinated colored man in the crowd.
Deed he amt dead, boss" said the col
ored man. HE jest playin 'possum. Jes'
give i'm to me. do like 'possum, does!'
The crowd roared. "Give i'm to Ole Var.
ginnyl'' it said.
"Give i'm to the solid southl''
Finally, the marketman having disap-
peared in the mob and nobody claiming
ownership, the officer handed his 'possum-
ship over to the delighted darky, who bore
1t away in triumph.-New York Herald
