Luck in Pins.


Say" said Col Peter Sweeney Of the
Union Pacific the other evening TO the
Omaha Bee just after the man he was walk
ing up with stopped and picked up pin that
lay shining close to the curbstone, did you
ever notice how many cranks there are IN the
worldY OF course, don't refer TO present
company-oh, no, certainly. But was just
remarkfng on the curious superstitions that
people get into their heads Now, for in
stance, you stopped just now and picked up
that PIN, from whichI infer that you are
In the habit of doing so whenever you see
one.
Well, I know lots Of men who never fail to
pick up pin, the same as you do. Then there
are the sidewalk cranks who always step ON
the third or fourth crack, according to the
width of the boards, or il they are walking
on pavement, they step between and on the
cracks.
After these come the stair cranks. They
wouldn { tell it to anyone if they we're asked
about 1t, but the fact is that these persons al
ways start upstairs left foot first, and feel
badly II the right foot doesn't strike the top
OF the stairs first. These persons, 1 may re-
mark, are usually those who have been az
nlcted with semi military education, as are
those sock and shoe cranks who put their
hosiery and footgear on the left foot first,
Then some men have peculiar way Of en-
terlng with certain foot foremost and their
exit will be made in the same way. And,
great Scott! might go on for year about
Gran ks and never get through. But do you
mind telling me why you pick up stray pine?'
why, no, certainly not answered the

A Lesson in SCIENCE.

At least one boy on Catherine street knows
more about electricity and the trolley than he
did and so does his father, says the Phila-
delphia Call. The other evening the boy was
out in front of his home, which is not far
from Broad street preparing to sprinkle the
street and to cool of the pavement. The
nice. black, shiny hose had just been bought
and 1t was his first experience at the job He
unrolled the hose. coupled it on and turned on
the water. First he sprinkled the pavement
literally, and felt grateful at the GOODNESS
which seemed to pervade the atmosphere
Then she sprinkled the street until
the dust was all mud and the
water was trickling in streams into
the cutters. Still he kept up the good

work Then mamma came out too, and the
ne1ghbors who were across the street admired
the family group. After wetting down
the street and everything else in
reach Johnny looked around for

shining trolley wire which stretched away in
the distance. 1t looked rather hot, and he
concluded to sprinkle it as an evidence OF
good faith. Without consulting papa he
turned the hose on the trolley wire and struck
1t fair with a nice, plump, strong stream OF
water while he held the nozzle OF the hose

was struck by the current of electricity which
flew down the stream to meet him, He
dropped to the sidewalk a4d the hose turned
loose, Sprlnkllng papa and mama well before
they could escape. Then the admiring neigh

If South and Central American revolts
and revolutions continue to increase and
multiply as they have within the past
few months we may presently find our
selves under the necessity of borrowing
a few war ships to send down there to
protect the interests of citizens of
this country. Gen. Young's telegram to
the state departm emit, announcing the
declaration of a dictatorship in Guate-
mala had the result of the ordering of the
old Alliance to the scene at once. II
seems that the revolutionary elements of
the Southern American countries are all
worked up. The Argentine government
has just succeeded in putting down an in
surrection in the province of Tucuman;
Nicaraguan factions have only recently
adjusted their differences after number
of battles, and Brazil is in the throes of
revolution. In addition to these there
are rumors of impending trouble in Peru.
and the navy department has made prep
arations for having a vessel on the Peru
Wan coast at the first outcroppping of
armed resistance to the present govern
ment

An interesting question is before the
supreme court at Washington involving
the right of the western states and terri
tories to tax the unpatented surveyed
lands within the area of the land grants
made to railroad corporations. There are
upward of $4,000 600 acres of lands in
volved, lying in almost every state and
territory west of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers. 1t is big question in these
communities, as the railroad lands are
yearly increased in value by the improve
ments of the settlers. Their unearned in
crement is very large, and the western
people naturally think some of it should
go to pay the expen Sc of government and
improvements that add value to the
lands. Corporations. however, concede
little unless under compulsion, especi-
ally these land grant railroads

The American Navy.

Time will come, and come presently,
when "the American navy" will stand in
terms for all that modern art, invention
and means will have accomplished in be-
half Of successful offensive and defensive
maritime warfare
Nor does the nightmare of international
ENHANCEMENT, nor yet the dream of fruit
full conquest, either urge or inspire the
marvellous strides of the American navy
toward the front of the worlds mighty
sea ornaments.
II was not in view of probable wars that,
under the first Cleveland administration
and through the keen aud original agency
of his first naval secretary, Hon. Will
lam G. Whitney, the navy began the ex-
traOrdinary transformation which has
continued since and continues still. But
it was for the incidental protection upon
the seas of the prospective shipping
supremacy for which that administration
was and this is insidiously struggling and
which triumphant democracy is destined
to achieve. 1t is the tap root of tariff re-
form that with it will. return to Us the
sovereignty of the seas which was lost
through the baleful operation of the pro-
tective sham imposed upon the country
by the republican party.
With democratic tariff revision will
come the return of the carrying trade,
and, very probably, its major portion, to
American bottoms. Wherever nations
have excelled in maritime commerce they
have been expected if not required to sur
pass in naval accessories for its preserva-
ton and protection. So that all
these wondrous feats of nautical
architecture that almost daily glide
into the waters from the navy yards
of the country, and all the great guns and
other engines of destruction that the
world gapes to see as we mount them
upon armored ospreys, do not mean war
they stand for impending tariff revision,
inevitably revived foreign commerce, and
an amplitude of American naval resources
to protect the same in any part of the
universe. That's the meaning, pure and
simple, of the american navy"

F. H. Weeks, the absconding New York
lawyer who is in Costa Rica, is likely to
be made pawn in diplomatic game to
be played by this country and Costa Rica.
The New York authorities are anxious to
secure Weeks return, but as there is no
extradition treaty between the two coun-
tries there is some doubt that the Cen
trial Americans will surrender him.
However, it is believed that Costa Rica
will agree to the surrender provided the
United States will enter into treaty of
extradition with her.

A Blind Man Enjoys the Fair.

One man pushed another in roller chair
down the pier on which the moving sidewalk
was at work, says the Chicago Tribune Thev
appeared to he comrades. The man who did
the pushing was noticeably and tenderly at
tentive When man is that way his atten.
tion is more noticeable than a woman
After a while the pusher lifted the other man
from the chair and carried him IN to the
moving sidewalk and placed him on one of the
seats Then he put him back in the chair and
pushed him under the arch of the peristvle
and out into the court, where they stopped
and looked, as so many thousands have
stopped and looked. The pusher stepped
aside to make little purchase for the man in
the chair. One who had been watching said
to the pusher:
Your friend is an invalid hope what he
has seen will benefit him. "
He hasn't seen anything" was the sad
answer. He has been blind since he was a
child, and few years ago he became para
lived in his limbs But he longed to see the
fair. as he put it, and we brought him on to
please him"
From where?"
From Providence, r. l."
docs he enjoy his visit?"
LAS much as do, and I think more II
makes the fair doubly enjoyable to me to tell
him what 1 see, and to notice his delight I
had him in the art gallery yesterday and Won
ought to have heard him telling the people at
the boarding house last night about the paint
ings he saw. Many OF them which [ had ex
planned to him he described far more aranh.
lcally than I could have done"
What strange beauty hath this dream CITY
which causes it to break through the cur
tanned eyes Of the blind?
