SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 29.-The New
York World asked Governor A ltgeld this
question:
What Is the chief reason for the south
crn ard western feeling of cnmity toward
the east?'
The governor replied in part rs follows:
"yhe feeling is not against the east as a
section, but against class there which
has dominated the policy Of the govern
ment, as well as the policy of the two
great political parties ever since the war,
and has treated this part OF ths country as
great foraging ground Unscrupulous
men have 80 shaped federal legislation
and the policies of the federal government
as to practically make the whole country
pay tribute to few interests. These in
terests were and are located in the east.
The southern and the Mississippi valley

but also the great consuming states.

THE FUTURE OF CHINA.

John VIII Now Rapidly ran In with ths
Latest Industrial Methods.
The Chinese have grand old litera-
ture and philosophic books by the side
Of which Plato and the Memora-
bilia of Socrates seem mere bro
chures. The Chinese are essentially q
literary and aesthetic people, although
they, too, can boast of many campaigns
and architectural monuments. Their
public buildings in brick are few, but
those in mud still fill us with admira-
ton. Their traditions are wholly OPP
posed to ours. Their traditions are
very old, very theoretical.
Darbarous traditions, grown up in
the rough practice of life, are more
easily displaced than those which
have their roots imbedded in an ancient
but ever green philosophical literature.
But when the public examinations, on
which success in life depends, shall
cease, no matter by what blow, to con-
fine themselves to Chinese classics
alone, then gentleman John will be-
come rs laboripus, docile and enterpris-
Ing in modern war and finance and
policy, and military and industrial
methods and training, as humble coolie
John already is In shopkeeping in San
Francisco and Australia and the

A HARD THING TO DO.
II IL Almost impossible TO KssD YsaR

II IL Almost Impossible TO Rep Ysss
Hand Still.
Thought provokes action; think OF do
ing something, and (unconsciously, per
haps,) you begin to do it.
In the university of Wisconsin Prof.
Jastrow has an instrument called the
automatograph, which shows very
clearly and precisely the automatic
movements Of the hand.
1t consists merely Of piece Of glass
resting ON three movable metal feet; or,
in other words, it is a small carriage
which will shift its position at the
slightcst movement.
At the end is needle fixed vertical
ly, and in contact with a roll of paper
covered with layer Of lampblack. If
the apparatus moves the movement Is
traced on the paper by the needle.
Both paper and needle are hidden by q
screen.
Prof. Jastrow tells you to rest your
hand upon the glass and keep it per-
fectly still. This appears quite easy
but when you think that your hand is
quite motionless you find to your sur.
prise that the needle is tracing lines OF
the paper!
The fact is, you cannot keep your
hand still; unconsciously and invisibly
it moves with our thoughts. Look Al
that pair Of scales; watch how the roc
goes this way and that way as the
scales move. Now look at the blacl
paper; you will find that your hand ha
been moving exactly in agreement will

librarian, plaintively, "by people who
are anxious to become members of the
Sons Of the Revolution or the Daughters
OF the Revolution. Only about one-half
OF them succeed; but it takes long
time to prove to them that they can't

Most of the seekers of ancestors are
women. A great many of them, be
lieve, have never been in a library be-
fore. They know nothing about how
to begin a search. They ply me with
questions. All can do is to find out
in what state their ancestors lived dur
ing the revolution and then turn over
the state documents to them. Then,
likely as not, they will ask me to help
them search, but l draw the line at
that. Their disappointment when they
can't find single private in their favor
is something terrible. Sometimes they
get angry and say the books are wrong,
the library is wrong and every body 10

ror, that they had ancestors interested
in the revolution-snceetors who were

10 AS A lABORER,

An Officer Of Thirty Yean' Frontier Exa
perienco Gives His Views.
A man who has been ON the frontier
for thirty years and has put in big
part of that time fighting Indians, i
Capt. P. H. Ray, of the regular army,
now in charge of the Shoshone and
Arapahoc agency in Wyoming. Capt.
Ray has practical views touching the
Indian problem, based on his long con.
tact with the red man. He believes that
the Indian can be made self-support-
ing and useful citizen, and all that Is
needed is to furnish. him a sufficient in
centive to work for living, the same as
his pale-face brother.
During the war just ended" said he
to writer for the Washington Post, II
had the Indians at work on a big irri-
eating canal, of which seven miles have
been completed. They made as good
laborcrs as I ever saw and worked
cheerfully for one dollar per day. In
addition to that they raised enough grain
for the reservation and to supply tho
neighboring military post, having a
surplus besides to sell. They hauled
every pound Of freight from the railway
terminus to the agency, distance Of
one hundred and fifty miles. The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of a century hate to see them
beginning to get on self-supporting
basis, for then there will be no more
money to be made out of them. For
that reason every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts Of misreprescnta.
tions made by these parties, who dread
to see their occupation gone. During
al my experience in the west l have
never known an administration that has
dealt with the Indians in as clean and
conscientious way as the present. The
secretary of the interior has, without
any partisan bias, done in every in.
stance his best to promote the interests
Of the tribes and the government, and,
from my own observation, think that
he has thus far been very successful"

ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.
Three Stories That Are Interesting Con
cerning England's Sovereign.

Three Stories That Arc Interesting Con-
cerning England's Sovereign.
For many year after her husbands
death Queen Victoria would never con-
sent to be photographed, save in very
lugubrious trim and with the prince
consort's bust or portrait well in sight.
Much livclier now that she is much old
err, her ma jesty to-day sits for artists in
grand array as well as everyday clothes,
and some of her favorite jewels and
laces have thus become we'll known to
the public. The severely criticised or
naments bcoeclzing the sovereign's head
and chest on the jut:see coinage may
be recognized as studies from actual
jewels much beloved by her majesty.
Sir Edgar Bechn had hard time of it
with outsiders when those coins were
first issued, but he was amply compen-
stated by eulogiums failing from royal
and imperial lips upon the charming
lace, brooch and earrings.
The queens money from the state is
all paid up in advance to the 31st of
March next, and SO are all the annui-
ties that are granted to the prince of
Wales and the other members of the
royal family, and Coutts', the bankers,
are the only persons who know how the
royal accounts stand. The thirty-six
thousand pounds year allowed for the
children of the prince of Wales remains
at the same amount as it was before the
death Of the duke of Clarence, and this
money will continue to be paid till six
months after her majesty's demise.
On each anniversary-or the annual
celebration of the queens wedding
the beautiful painting of the marriage
of her ajesty is brought into the royal
dining-roor' and decorated with white
silk roscttes. Ia this painting the
queens mother and the beautiful duch-
ess of Sutherland, mistress Of the robes,
show to great advantage. The curtana

FATTEN ON BARsER'S WAiMS.


Odds and Ends Turned Over by Cheeky
Fellows with an Eye to Business.
'"There are only three men in Chi
cago in that fellows line of business"
remarked the chatty Wabash avenue
barber, as he turned to strop the ra-
Tor. "Oh, he trades in BARRIERS crank
notions, superstitions and whims," the
operator continued. HE goes from
one shop to another with that little
handbag and trades razors, strops,
brushes, hones-anything in the ton
serial line. How does he make a liv-
ing at it? Easy enough. You don't
know BARRIERS very well, guess. Well,
one of 'em buys razor for, say, two
dollars, and after he's used it awhile
makes up his mind. he doesn't like it..
So he sells it to this man for one dol
lar. This man leaves it on trial with
some other barber and gets four dol
lars worth of old razors in exchange,
and then he sells one of those old razors
to the original purchaser of the two
dollar razor. He does the same with
strops and homes and brushes. Oh
course he makes money. Dresses we'll
smokes good cigars aud works only
when he feels like it. There's money
in it for the three fellows in the bust
ness, but the snap will be overdone as
soon as the scheme is better known
Capital necessary to begin? Cheek and
acquaintance are all that are neces
sary. When the razor broker gets 9

Duration of Life AmonR Birds.

the distinguished German biologist,
Wiesmann, has pointed out that there
is less exact knowledge on this subject
than might be expected, considering
how many in number are the ornitho-
logical societies. Small singing birds
live from eight to eighteen years.
Ravens have lived for almost one hum
dred years in captivity and parrots
longer than that. Fowls live from ten
to twenty years land are then sold as
spring chickens to young housekeep-
ersA Che wild goose lives upward of
one hundred years and swans are said
to have attained the age of three hun
dred. The long life Of birds has been
interpreted as compensation for their
feeble fertility and for the great NOR
tality Of their young. From the small
inlands Of st. Kilda, Off Scotland.
twenty thousand young gannets and an
immense number of eggs are annually
collected, and although this bird laws
only one egg per annum and is four
years in attaining its maturity, its
numbers do not diminish. Obviously.
as Wicsmann observes, such birds must
reach great age or they would long
ago have been exterminated.

The greatest cities of ancient time
were Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have an area of one hundred
to two hundred square miles; It's houses
were three pr four stories high, but
palaces and gardens occupied much of
the vast area, SO that the population
was not what these figures seem to
indicate. In fact, it is said by one his
torian that nine-tenths of this area
was taken up by gardens and orchards
The total population of the city under
