Running Things.

On last Thursday a man and woman
from Luling, Tex, came to Austin for the
purpose of seeing Governor CulbersOn.
Their mission was kept secret and their
visit as well. But it now leaks out, if
rumor is to be relied on. that they came
here for the purpose of securing protection
from Governor CulberSon against what
they termed White Cap raid at Luling.
They claim that they We're visited late
atnight by a set of White Caps who warn
ed them that they must leave that section
a once or be subjeced to torture and pun
ishment, and for this reason they sought
aid from the governor and made him
acquainted with the facts.
1t is charged also that the couples con-
duct and the house they occupied did not
suit the people of Luling, hence they
were told to leave. This is the story as
CLEANED from various sources; as to
whether it is true, time alone can tell.

When an omnibus or cab driver runs
over a foot passenger in London streets,
the possible loss of a license exercises a
wholesome restraint. The private coach
man and the driver of the tradesman S
cart have far less compunction in teach
ing All old gentleman to get out of their
way by running him down. At the
worst, they are fined. Not infrequently
their fines are paid by sympathizing
employer. But no one pays poor cab
mans fines, and the loss Of license in
addition means the loss Of his means Of
q livelihood.
In Paris. we believe, the driver Of a
fiacre is generally allowed by the law to
run over one bourgeois in the course of
year. In London magistrates are less
lenient. Moreover, the law makes an
unfair and arbitrary distinction between
the oabman's case and that Of the I'M
licensed driver. The former is liable to
be removed from the box for good and
all. The driver of the cart may continue
to urge on his wild career, though he
destroys several citizens in the course OF

MANUFACTURING BRAINS.
imbeciie children and How They Are im-
proved Mentally.


proved Mentally.
The education Of the imbocilo is one
requiring an infinite number Of repeti-
tiuns of message, which Mt the outset
must be unusually sharp and clear and
unconfusing. II it is the sight and hear
ing which are TO be improved, the pupil
is placed in a dark room, and into its
darkness a single ray Of bright light is
admitted And when this startling and
antithetioal phenomenon has caught and
riveted the child's attention, by repoti-
ton, a slide is passed through the beam
Of light, with sharply defined forms
painted or engraved upon it-simple
forms, too, such as the square or tri-
angle or star. Then the names of these
figures are clearly and distinctly and re-
peatedly pronounced, the name sounded
each time the object is exhibited.
This is an example Of the necessities
of an extreme case-a very apathetic
and unobservant child. Usually it will
be sufficient to exhibit objects by lifting
them from the table and simultaneously
telling their names. This must be done
over and over again until the nerve
1
fibers and brain cells are stimulated in
to reader action and developed into full
or and more perfect performances of nor
NAL functions.
The imbecile child's brain is improved
in the same way as the biceps muscles
are more and more enlarged. This il
done by the repeated use of small dumb
bells at first and then by the gradua
substitution of heavier and heavier
weights.
The tenure of human life is so shor
that all that can DO done for such ex
IRENE types is to enthrone the Olsen
throned moral sense. 1t would requir,
an eternity to tone up the five physica
senses. Nervous idiots are much more
promising pupils and show remarkable
mental improvement in short time
But the physical senses are always i'm
proved with the improvement of thu
moral sense. A child who has beer
taught how not to be an animal indoor
will have more appreciation Of color
and child who has learned not to or,
and scream on the slightest pretext will
have far better regulated sense o
touch, smell and hearing. Now Yorl

The Sweet Tooth.

In most cases where we find consid- erable quantities of sugar conspicuously massed in any part of plant organism the sweet juice is placed there on pur- pose to be eaten. In comparatively small masses it is sorted i'll flowers or elsewhere for tho uso of insects. In larger amounts it is stored ill fruits for the uso uf birds and mammals. And 1t is these conspicuous stOrehouscs of na tive sugar that man i'll the first instance began to seize upon for his own pur- poses. Himself descendant of the fruit eating monkeys, he has always re- mained to a great extent fruit eater.
 In the tropics to this day he subsists largely upon plantains, bananas, man. goes, bread fruit and cocoanutS, though he also depends to no small degree upon subterranean storehouses of starch or sugar. such as yams and sweet potatoes. In temperate climates, on the other hand, he derives his food more from seeds than from fruits. Wheat, rye, maize, barley, oats, rice and millets form the staple of his diet, while his prin- cipal subterranean food, the potato, Is starchy, not sugary. Accordingly his in herited sweet tooth feels the need for sugar-a need which he has endeavored from all time to satisfy, especially in youth, with dried fruits, figs, raisins and other like devices. -Cornhill Maga. zine
