GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

The Bee has always been in favor
OF government ownership of rail
roads, and IL is now more welded to
the policy of the idea, if not the ne
cessity than ever it was. Govern
ment ownership of the transconti-
mental lines Of the country seems to
us to be the only way out OF not only
the present difficulty, but of those
difficulties W hich seem inevitable in
the near future. With Uncle Sam
for an employer, certainly the labor
ing people of the country should find
no fault. He has ever been a gener-
Gus, even a prodigal corporation to
work for, ard there Is no just reason,
1t seems to US, why he should not be
the employer of the railroad workers
of this country.
Whatever may be the immediate
outcome of the general uprising on
the part of railroad employees
throughout the United States, there
can be no question that it will hasten
and ultimately secure the govern
mental control of railroads for which
the Bee has always commended. The
disregard for the rights OF the people
displayed by the great railroad cor
porations Of the country the
Southern Pacific is not excepted from
the list-has made such an intense
feeling among people of al classes,
that communities have allowed law
and order to be tcanpled on and the
power of the United States defod,
largely because it Glanced to be in
voked in support of the railroads OF
the country, though the principle in
volved was one that affected the
rights of all business and OF all ind;-
viduals.
1t is safe to say that while rail
roads remain under the control OF
private corporations similar troubles
are likely to arise at any time. And
If this present one can be adjusted
before the country is ruined, all bus
mess and all labor should unite i'll a
demand that the federal government
assume control of the railroads. -

HIS AUTHORITY.
A Section Of the Law Under Which
the President is Acting.

1t may not be out of place to pub
lish the law under which President
Cleveland in acting in calling United

The authority under which he acts
is derived from section 529S of the
Revised Statutes, enacted July 90,
1891, and section 5299, which be-
came law April 20, 1891. The
former provides that whenever, by
reason of unlawful obstruetions, or
assembling of persons, or rebellion
against the authority of the Govern
ment of the United States, it shall
become impractica5le, in the judg
ment of the President, t. enforce by
the ordinary course of judicial pro
ceedings the laws of the United
States within any State or Territory,
it shall be lawful for the President
t. call forth tue militia of any or all
the States as he may deem necessary

the laws of the United States, or to
suppress such rebellion, in whatever
Sttte or Territory therefore the laws
of the United States may be forci5ly
opposed, or the execution, thereof

is as follows:

dua was the thirteenth at the table
and had to die. it is hardly likely
though, that 50 obscure a tradition
connected with an ancient faith
limited to comparatively small
LEGALITY would he able t. spread It's
paIa!ci3us influence 20 broldc 81
over the earth. The popularity
accepted origin may be taken as the
right one, The Last Supper, which
so Immediately preceded the crucI-
fixion of the Saviour, must always
have excited sentiment of awe in
the breast OF the faithful, which in an
unenlightered age easily degener
ated into feeling of superstitious
terror. Leonardo da Vinci, in his
famous painting on the wall in the
refectory OF the Dominian convent
OF Santa Maria della Grecia, in Milan
unwittinely, perhaps, gave the first
impulse to that superstition in the
minds Of the ignorant masses who
beheld the twelve apostles and the
Master at table. To see before their
eyes the fatal feast itself must have
affected them far more profoundly
than could the most eloquent sermon
on the subject. In this picture, too,
we see Judas in the act OF spilling
the salt; thus it is fair to presume
that both superstitions have prac-
tically the same origin.

THE "THlRTEEN" SUPERSTITION

Of all these minor superstitions,
perhaps the most prevalent is the
one which is the subject of discussion
ion this article that of sitting thirteen
at the table. An idea Of its prevail
ence among all nations may be
obtained by adverting to the well
known fact that the Turks have al
most expunged the number (I3)
from their vocabulary; that the
Italians never use it in making up
the numbers for their lotteries, and
that the thirteenth card in any o.
their games bears the figure OF death
that no house in Paris bears the
No. Is, and that in the city the
| Quartorziemes are recognized per
sons in society who hold themselve:
in readiness to be invited to any
dinner which otherwise would have
the fatal thirteen at the festal board
The thirteen superstition, briefly
stated, is that if thirteen persons
either by accident or design, din
together at the same table, one wi
die within year. Its origin ha
been traced back to the old Nors
mythology in which occurs tn
story OF the gods sitting down to
feast with Loke in the. Valhalla. Bal

DIPTHERIA FROM ROUP.

Be careful how you handle hens or
pigeons with roup and then 60 among
your childfen. Avoid taking sick fowls
in your hands. The following should
be read. 1t is from the Feathered
World, London:
DR.. Bllhaut reports in French
medical paper case which is ol con.
siderable interest to pigeon fanciers,
and which should be warning to all
to be careful how they come in con.
tact with any bird which is affected
with diptheria or kindred diseases. In
the case under consideration a pigeon
fancier, who was suffering from tuule.
faction of the mouth, offered food on
the tip OF his tongue to one of his
pigeons, to try thus to induce it to
feed he having lost several of his birds.
The bird also died, and post
mortem showed evidence OF its having
had diptheria. Its owner, too, devel.
oped unmistakable symptoms of diph-
therla, false membranes having been
found under his tongue in the region
where the bird had pecked as we'll as
on the tonsils. In the event he recov-
cred, but not without himself transmit
ting the disease to his boy. There
were special conditions in this case
which increased the probability of the
disease beng caught, but still 1t should
be warning to fanclers to avoid such
risks
A human life is too valuable to incur
risks. While there may be no danger
in some cases, our duty IS to call
attention to the possibility OF conta.
gion. In all cases of roup give
spongia IN the drinking water. Diph.
liberia is a very fatal disease, and should
be rigidly guarded against by all.

Nor is the good old plan OF industry

SHE PAID GEORGE BACK.

They sat costly side by side at the
theatre enjoying to the top of their
bent the miserable late OF oiDesdemona
and dear George told her that he
would never be jealous of her, not
if she would give away 1000 pocket
handkerchiefs, and then they had
aqueezed each others hands under
her lace wrap, and they where as
happy as can be. Dear George
bought her box OF bon. bons and
then ate them all up, for no man
was ever SO much in love as to be
shy in the matter of eating.
By and by it came to the end ot
the third act, and after looking very
restless and wretched George said
tondly: You wont mind dear, will
you, if just step out into the vesti-
blue to stretch my legs bit, will
your
If George had had half an eye he
would have seen that she did mind
very much; no woman likes 10 be
left alone in a theatre, but she only
said, cody, On! not in the least il
you care to 60.
So George crawled over the laps
OF half dozen ladies, tresding on
their toes, scratching their chins
with his watch chain, and generally
brushing the bloom off their laces
and evening attire.
She waited about five minutes
and then swiftly bundling her wrap
around her and with her pretty
face scarlet with indignation ano
embarrassment, she bravely left the
theatre and went home.
And it served Geoge right.

THE SECRETARY-BIRD.

As soon as the secretary bird, or
snake eater, of South Africa, discovers
snake, it advances toward it, without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of
the neck, and, without losing any time,
delivers blow with its foot. Ifthe
snake has avoided the blow and
attempts to strike back the bird inter-
poses wing, thus receiving the deadly
fangs harmlessly upon the long
feathers, and Immediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for if
the secretary gets IN single blow the
snakes back Is broken, and the bird,
like lightning, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head, pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and, just
before the head disappears giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about
the secretary BIRDS appetite, for one
writer says he found inside one three
serpents as long as his arm, eleven
lizards seven inches long, twenty one
tortoises about two inches in diameter,
besides large quantity of grasshoppers
and other insests, or IN other words,
seven and half feet of snake, six and
a half of lizard, three and half of tor
toise and say yard of miscellaneous
trihes!
The secretary bird is protected by
the Cape authorities for the immense
public benefit it confers in eating pois.
onous snakes, and penalty is attached
by law to its destruction. Aud if were
necessary, hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its title Of
"Serpentarius. CuriouslY enough, too,
this bird may be trained, and is trained
to protect poultY yards, not only from
snakes, which are too fond of eggs, but
faom other birds of prey.

Mabel was ear est and tried hard
10 impress Horace with a sense of
the importance OF a practical view OF
life. but her suggestions only
angered him and he clung to his
belief in the ignorant controller OF
his destiny.
They went to another town, losing
much IN the venture. Horace was
ill and he began to listen to Mabel S
pleadings to leave soothsayers a one
and gave his undivided attention to
his business. Then wheat took a
sudden advance and Horace thought
he saw a chance to make his
fortune
Don't do 1t, advised his wife, you
have only a small sum to invest but
it is all we have-to lose it means
ruin. Take my advice tor once,
Horace, and leave your money where
it is safe.
But the wild and haggard man
who was ruined in that wheat deal
had already taken advice. This
time it was a reader of symbols and
she had shown him an open door.
1t is the door Of your good fortune
she had said in set phrase: l can
see you passing through it to power
riches all good things, Fee 81.
Thanks.
She used the same formula for
every one-was it strange that it
sometimes came true? The greed
and the jargon did not strike Horace
as sordid. He did not notice them.
A dollar to open the door OF fortune
who would not give it?
So he invested his money and lost
it-mortgaged his business for more
money, and lost that. Then the
couch that was bad a year before
became seriously worse. Horace
took to his bed.
His wife could not say, l told you
SO, to a dying man. She thought
bitterly OF the false prophets who
who had lured HIM through such
fatal by paths and wished she had
the power to punish them or-that
Horace had not been so credulous
as to believe in them.
He saw through it all now, the
false prophecies, the flimsy pretenses
but apologized for them with his
latest breath.
If people were not always seeking
the mystical, there would be no
need of mystics. The woman who
told me about the open door-why
there itstands now-she was right
Mabel-it is wide opera door OF
fortune-it means good-good-by.
He had passed through it to
power, riches, all good things with
out money and without price.
