How Do You Cross Your ssT's?"

A graphologist has discovered that
character a be read from the letter
st" alone, according to an English pa
per. He claims that the vertical line
represents the fatality of life. and the
horizontal bar the influence human will
exercises I'VE this fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
or lower a writer crosses the 1t" is a
guide to the amount of ideality contain
ed in his nature, and that the lower
part of the letter corresponds to the
practical and material part of the mans
character.
For instance, the optimist crosses
his is with a line that slopes upward
from the ground to the sky, as it
were. The poet often crosses his rs
quite above the vertical line-in other
words, in the sky.
The pessimist crosses his is with a
downward sloping stroke. The line
which is below the ideal portion of the
letter descends little by little until it is
lost among the sad realities of earthly
existence.
The practical man, it appears, always
steers a middle course, and crosses his
It's neither in the ideal nor in the ma

Protection In the Scriptures.

We wonder if free trade congressman
ever attend divine service. If so, do they
ever listen to the reading of the Scrip
lures? 1t is certain that they do not heed
them. Let us refresh the free trade
memory by a quotation from Matthew,
chapter II, beginning with the twenty
fourth verse:
And when they were come to Capernaum
they that received tribute money came to Pc
ter and said, Doth not your Master pay trib-
ute?''
He saith, Yes" And when hi was come
into the house Jesus prevented him, saying:
the kings of the earth take custom or tribute
of their own children OF of strangers?"
Peter saith unto him, "Of strangers"
Jesus saith unto him. "Then are the children
free.n
Thus did Jesus determine in favor of
protection. Only by the taking of GUS
toms duties or tribute from the strangers
were ''the children Free" The inference
is that the direct taxation incidental to
free trade or "a tariff for revenue only
rendered sthe children" slaves. 1t will
be the duty of the people to prevent
those who favor sucha system from COM
ing Unto the house" of representatives
after the next election. Under protec-
ton only 'are the children free"

H LIBERTY CAP.
Its Origin and Significance and Those Who
Have Worn 1t.

The liberty cap. tina. bag shaped
the &ioddess of Liberty, and which sur
mounts the national coiors Or nearly
all Of our silver coins, owes its origin
to the Roman empire. where it was
given to slaves as a sign of their manu-
mission. The principal significance of
the liberty cap to the American mind
is not, however, its Roman origin. but
rather its use as the official cap Of the
successive doges of republican Venice
that model of the most stable govern
ment ever framed by man In the
doge's palace at Venice there is a gal
lery full of portraits Of the men who
ruled the republic for 100 years, and the
conspicuous place occupied by the liber-
ty cap in these portraits shows its i'm
p%ortance as a national symbol of free
dom.
Itrather heightens the significance of
this ancient symbol in the minds of
good Americans when it is remembered
that the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa
humbled himself before a wearer of the
liberty CAP, and that Andrea Dandolo
wore it on the fourth crusade and at the
conquest of Constantinople. 1t occu-
pied a place in the forefront of the ad-
vancing hosts that in the early part of
the fifteenth century swept the Dalma-
tan towns and conquered the entire
coast from the estuary Of the Pc to the
island of Corfu.
While Columbus was discovering
America the wearers of the liberty cap
were acquiring Zante and Cyprus, and
when the first half of the half starved
settlements on the Massachusetts coast
were battling for existence the republic
from which we borrowed our liberty
cap, having successfully resisted q
league Of all the kings Of C~hristendom,
was at the zenith of its glory.
The liberty cap is not as conspicuous
in our national signs and symbols as it
was in those of the rulers of the Adri-
attic, yet in a modest way it immortalizes
the greatest republic of early times

The Barrister's Retort.

A case was once tried in Limerick
before Chief Baron O'Grady. A bar
rister named Bushe was making a
speech for the defense, when an ass be-
gan to bray loudly outside the court.
"Wait a moment" said the chief bar
on. "One at a time, Mr. Bushe, if
you please" The barrister waited
for a chance to retort, and it came
presently. When O'Grady was charg-
ing the jury, the ass again began to
bray, if possible more loudly than be-
fore. Il beg your pardon, my lord"
said Bushe. May 1 ask you to repeat
your last words? There is such an echo
in this court l did not quite catch
them. '-''Seventy Years of Irish Life"

1t appears that some of the Ceylon tea
planters are making an organized attempt
to obtain a sale for their tea seed in the
London market. A parcel of seven bags
of that article was offered at the drug sales
recently, but no one seemed to know what
to do with it, and although the broker de-
clared his belief that the drug was "a
~favorite medicine in China" the audience
remained unmoved. Nevertheless the tea
seed might have been worth purchas-
ing for the sake of the bland oil which it
contains, to the extent of about IS per
cent by weight, and which resembles olive
oil in color and somewhat in taste. The
seeds are about the size of a cherry stone,
s~ubgiobular in shape, and of a deep brown
color. The oil would be useful for burn
ing or Observation-Disclosures Chemist and
