GENESIS OF A "CRANK."
The Effect of Large Ideas Upon Small
 Minds.

The Effect of Large Ideas Upon Small
 Minds.
 One of the most interesting of psy- chological studies, says the Century, is the effect of large idea upon a small mind. A large idea entering a large mind balances and dignifies it; its eff feet upon a small mind is often com pletely upsetting. The man becomes intellectually top-heavy and unsteady.
 When one becomes observant of this phenomenon he finds much to amuse and again much to deplore. He is amused, for instance, to notice the re- suit of this overlooking throughout long career. Where subject is thus acted upon by succession of ideas, each embodying an important truth which the man is incapable of carrying, his rcceptigity to impression proves to be his bane. The sudden realization for the first time of fundamental prin- ciple makes a monomaniac of him. An other sudden realization of still another fundamental principle and he is spin ming off at a new tangent.
 But there are times when this effect of large ideas upon little minds is most mischievous and deplorable. Thus is bred the race of incurable cranks in philosophy, theology, art and politics. The word "crank" has been maliciously misused for purposes of cynical ridi- cule, but it is. too descriptive name to be set aside. The congenial crank is always started on his career of in utility by this application of big idea to a small brain. The most tiring thing about him is his self-compla. cency, owing to his knowledge of the fact that better men have been mis- called by his own accurately descriptive cognomen. --':- ....,s5>.- :.,.

Snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- Sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich, recently reported observing strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs. some of them of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take large force of boys several days to do.

PAID ONE AT A TIME.
Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.


 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is a postmaster in little town not far distant. who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed oft 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose I can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" st..u the man at the window. "Then give me a. one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was hunued to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime. and We're impatiently wait ing their turn at 'Lue window, but the obdurate buyer Aepr on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar ltime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

What the Car Wanted.

The first mot of the new czar was de- livered upon the occasion of M. de Giers' official visit to the emperor, who received him with the greatest dem onstration of friendship, at the same time expressing the hope that notwith- standing M. de Giers' reported wish to retire from office he would still con- tinue to work with him for many years. But, your majesty, it is scarcely pos sible; look at my feet, they will hardly carry me-" The czar replied: Il am very sorry for you; but as far as 1 am concerned, do not want your feet, want your head
