TWO LOVERS OF MUSIC.
A Creole Boy and His Wonderful and As-
complished MOcking BIRD.

Maxine Caspari IS a handsome young
Creole who drives delivery wagon for
a grocer in New Orleans. He has be-
come a noted local figure because of his
love for music, and because he is the
owner of wonderful hooking bird.
Maxine, says our informant. is mu-
Stefan considerably above the ordinary,
and in the early mornings the quiet
street is gay with the merry sound Of
his sweet voice or the music of his
French harp, which he always carries
about with him. II is charming TO SEQ
what pleasure he gives as he drives
down the street, smiling and bowling 10
right and left as he goes, like a hero in
triumphal procession. 1t gladdens the
heart OF every woman on the street to
have Maxine deliver package at her
door and receive one of his scintillating
smiles and "a bow like court gentle-
mans.
Entirely in harmony with Maxime's
affable nature is the little pet and com
panion which accompanies him always
In his daily rounds. This is no more
nor less than fine hooking bird
named Beauregard, which is beyond
doubt perfectly exquisite musician.
Maxine has trained him 20 whistle the
most difficult airs with grace and fin
ish that no instrument can equal, and
the little fellow seems TO take infinite
delight In exhibiting his accomplish
ment. He and Maxine whistles In con-
cert, the bird usually carrying the air,
his master adding a fine, clear second,
which is exquisitely harmonious.
Beauregard has "A cage in one corner
of the cart under the roof. but he usu-
ally sits on MaXimes shoulder or occu-
pies perch above his masters head.
When Maxine is very busy and hasn't
time TO dismount ard linger at the
door for a pleasant word, a smile or a
bow, Beauregard gives three round
sharp whistles that serve 70 bring
servant girl out to the gate for the
package.
Maxine has frequently refused large
sums OF money for his fine bird A mu-
scum company offered two hundred and
fifty dollars for him.
But no." Maxine always says,
"gol' can nod buy mey Beauregar'. lie
is nod for sale; he never will be. He is
my very soul, that Beauregar.'"

She did not know that on The way
home that evening Napoleon laughed
the matter over with Tallyrand, saying
"that Magdeburg was worth To him q

That night. after dinner. Napoleon
sought 10 play the gallant, and offered
her rose. She looked az il, and was
about To decline it. But, recalling the
object of her mission, she forced smile

answered by IA stare, and words which
showed that his politeness lay only on
the surface-Permt me 10 remind YOU
madame, that il is my place to offer

The Tilsit dinners, balls, and So
called festivities were melancholy
functions to poor Luise. who learned in
the following day that's that Napoleon
had insisted upon every item Of his de-
mauds exactly as he had originally die
tated them, and he treated his
talks with the Prussian Queen as idle
chat. Furthermore he sent word to
the Prussian King that he was tired of
TilSlt, and wished the matter closed.
And so on July 9, 1907, Prussia signed
away to Napoleon half her territory,
and every sovereign right that might
assist her to become strong i'm the
future. he bound herself to pay an
indemnity enormously beyond her
means, and TO maintain French garri-
sons in the country until this imposSi-
BILE sum was paid off. No such terms
had ever before been accepted by a
great nation. That was the famous
Treaty of Tilsit. The Car Alexander
paid his dear ally Frederick William
some compliments, acquiesced in all
that Napoleon did, and assisted in the
work Of spoliation by stealing from
Prussia large slice of her eastern
provinces, including the city of War
saw.

When Napoleon left France for Elbe
he said: II will return with violets, "
and the followers, who awaited his re-
turn. wore always on their breasts a
violet, and in their gatherings they al
ways drank 20 the toast of Corporal
Violet" Prints are in existence that
I'm two violets have the outlined pro-

THE silver dollar bears now the
same relation to n real dollar, the gold
dollar, that baggage check does TO a
piece of baggage, or a meal ticket TO a
meal Of victuals. The check is not the
baggage. but calls for II; and the
ticket is not the meal, but will bring
one. Now the multiplication Of checks
will not increase the baggage, nor the
multiplication Of meal tickets increase
the amount of food 20 appease hunger.
So the multiplication Of silver coins
does not help our monetary situation
as long as they are checks ON the gold.
1t is not until silver is made money OF
ultimate redemption that we can eN-
pect any relief from the monetary
stress OF the time.

Consolidation, the Tendency of the Age

Consolidation, the Tendency of the Age
The influence of consolidation is
everywhere the same; the absorption of
small states; the creation of large ones
the Capitalization Of power in the hands
of few; the unitication of people Of
kindred race and similar language; and,
in this country, a vast accession to tue
power of the Federal Government.
Wise men may differ as to whether the
liberties of the people can better be pre-
served in large states or in small ones.
History doubtless favors the latter:
but the historical republics had neither
steam nor electricity, nor the general
diffusion of education and intelligence
they have brought in their train. In
producing the evil-if 1t be an evil
they have also furnished the antidote.
The nineteenth century has given birth
to large states. but at the same time
has curtailed the privileges of the great,
has expanded the area of freedom, and
entrenched the people in their natural
rights. But these speculations are of
little value. The large states are upon
Us and oyershadow us. They haye
come to stay, and for better and for
worse, the world must adapt Itself TO
their conditions. The consolidating in
fuence is not less manifest III matters
of internal economy, and is as potent
in business as in politics. In fact il
may be said TO have revolutionized the
whole system of production. Where
transportation is slow and expensive.
each state becomes a manufacturing
community of its own where ii is
cheap, local manufacturers and de lerS
are driven to the wall by the COMPETE
ton OF the or al producers. who man
ufacture where ii can be done To the
best advantage. The results are large
enterprises, only rendered possible BY
combinations of capital, great corpo-
rations. monopolizng the production OF
all the comforts and many of the neces-
sares of life. immense farms and pas
lures. flooding the markets of Europe
with cheap meats and gram, curtailing
the rents of the landlords and depress-
ing the value of their lands, -the crush
ing out of small producers, and the Gen.

and material can be obtained the cheap

WHO LOSES BY FALLING PRICES.

The gold cliques defend the policy Of
gold-monometallsm from widely diff
ferent grounds They argue from diff
ferent and assumed premises. as II
suits their purposes. Instead Of draw
ing conclusions from established premi-
ses, they make their premises to lit the
desired conclusion. Basing their argu-
ments on such adapted and fabricated
assumptions, il is not surprising that
their logic Is as faulty as their assump-
tons are unwarranted and contradic-
tory.
One school. denying that gold has
appreciated, endeavors TO show that
prices have not materially fallen and
that any slight fall has been due to i'm
proved methods of production or TO
oyerproduction. The other school, see
ing that the palpable fall in prices makes
il impossible TO further blind the people
by the false assertion that prices have
not fallen, knowing full well that sta
tistics conclusively prove that prices
have fallen at laast forty per cent.
since the demonetization of silver, and
seeing the impossibility of making even
a plausible case against the incontro-
vertable fact, even by the presentation
of partial and, therefore, misleading
and doctored figures, admit the great
fall in prices caused by the apprecia-
ton of gold, but declare that such a
fall in prices is beneficial. With the
two principal schools of the advocates
of the gold monometallism arguing
from such different grounds it is not
surprising that their followers are hope
lessly mixed and that even the leading
gold papers should argue from one po-
sition one day and the other the next.
The first school finds its champion in
PROFESSOR Laughlin, of Chicago. The
falsity of their position has been eX-
posed again and again. To the second
school belong most OF the gold mono
metallists OF Great Britain, with Sir
William Harcourt, the recent chancel-
lor of the kxchequer, at their head.
This school ensconced in the home of
the gold-monometallist defending the
last line of defense (having abandoned
the palpably untenable position assum-
ed by Professor Laughlin and others)
and accepting the position that all other
gold-monometalists must finally be
forced to take, may be justly taken as
the representative school.
The position of the English gold
monometallists is, in brief, this' they
accept the appreciation of gold as a
fact causing in turn a fall of prices.
They declare that this fall is advanta-
peous. not otherwise-First, because
the producing classes while, of course,
selling at lower prices are compensated
by buying at correspondingly cheaper
prices. Second, because the wages Of
the wage-earning classes not having
fallen as far as prices they can COM
mand more and more Of the comforts
and luxuries of life. And, third, be-
cause, all ,ugh the burdens OF debtors
are i. eased, the income Of the credi-

does not 90 as far as formerly. The
wage-earner can answer this for HIM
self.
Who then loses by falling price,? All
those engaged in the production of
wealth. all the useful members of So
ciety. Who gain'y Those who live in
idleness on the laoOr of others.

A common belief regarding snakes is
that they can spit or project their venom
a considerable distance and thus poison
any person whose eyes may he too intently
riveted upon the animal The poison fang
mark the singular term, for thereby
hangs this tale-is followed by channel
in the hinder part of it. The edges Of this
channel are curved and meet so closely as
to form "A sort OF tube, the fang bends back
ward, and until erected by the muscles
which move 10 lies back against the pal
ate. When the snake is enraged, the fang
u erected.
At the base Of the fang is the gland
which secretes the poison. This gland is
in close contact with the maxillary bone,
to which the fang is united by anchylosed
tissue. The bone itself is movable and
may be rotated on its transverse axis by
muscles. Thus, in the act of striking, the
snake erects its fang, and the act of strik-
ing, bringing pressure to bear upon the
gland, causes the fluid poison to be forced
into the tube, and thus elected into the
wound. Doubtless the attempt to escape
from its enemy causes the victim to force
the fang from its erectile position in II for
ward direction and thus increase the pres.
sure on the gland and add to the quantity
of poison injected. New York Tines.
