How the Savage Learned to Laugh.


Just as the hoof of the horse is the
remnant of an original five toes, lust
as the pineal gland in man is now said
to be the survival of a prehistoric eve
on the top of the head, 20, perhaps,
this levity in regard to particular all
ments lin others) may be the descend
ant of an aboriginal ferocity in man.
1t is well-known theory that what we
call humor arose from the same source
that the first human laugh that ever
woke the astonished echoes CT gloomy
primeval forests was not an expression
of mirth, but eXultation over the mis-
cry of tortured enemy. There is,
to this day, something terrible in
laughter. The laugh of madness or
Of cruelty is a sound more awful than
that OF the bitteresJ lamentations. Bv
means of that strange phonograpn
that we call literature, we can listen
even now TO the laughter of the dead;
to the hearty outlaws or cynical litter
ings of generation after generation OF
bygone men and women; and il we
are curious IN such matter we eau
probe into the nature of the changes
that have passed over the fashion of
mems humor. For it has been said.
not without the support of weighty
cumulative evidence, that, as we peue-
trate further into the past we find the
sense OF humor depending always more
obviously and solely upon the eniov-
ment of the pain, misfortune, morti-
fication or embarrassment of others.
The sense OF superiority was the sense
of humor IN our ancestors; or, in
other words, vanity lay at the root of
this, as of most other attributes of our
bumptous species. Putting ear to our
phonograph we catch the echoes OF u
strange and merry tumult boisterous,
cruel, soften brutal, yet with here and
there a tender cadence from some SOL
itary voice, and presently this lonely
note grows stronger and sweeter, as
we travel slowly towards our own
time, until at length, through all the
merriment, we can hear the soft un-
dermurmur of pity. Does the picture
not seize the imagination-the long
laughter of the ages which begins in
cruelty and ends in love. -Westmin

The invention of n miniature ice
machine has caused the kings of con.

Mr.. J. p. O'Brien is the inventor, and
the ice machines are to be put on the
market in the very near future. The
affair consists of box about the size
and shape of an ordinary ice box.
Down the center OF the box runs n cyl
lnder for the water that is to be turned
to ice, and around this cylinder are
cells, in which are placed the chem
lcals whose action freezes the water.
On the top of the box is crank like
the handle of a street piano. This han
die is connected with n shaft on which
are fastened fan blades. Do you want

The Deadly Weapon with Which Cuba
Is Working Out Her Independence.
Cuba's national weapon, the machete,
. terrible instrument of destruction.
One of the horrible features of a field
pf battle where machetes are used Is
The number of partly beheaded and
fearfully mutilated bodies that are
found lying all around, which present
q CHASTITY sight even to the sturdy SOL
diers who have survived the conflict.
The machete has played no small part
in the history of all uprisings in the
bpanish-speaking provinces, but in
Cuba it has done such execution that If
the island should win her freedom the
machete ought to be included in the
coat-of-arms of Cuba libra. 1t is the
tool Of the Cuban workingman. With
1t he earns his living cutting the sugar
cane. With 1t he cuts the firewood for
his own use. Indeed, 1t is hatchet and
knife combined for him. Every man in
Cuba possesses q machete, NO matter
what else he does not own.
The mode Of using the machete is en-
tirely different from that which Is usu-
al with the sword. The thrust Is not
employed at oil. The aim with the
machete Is to cut and slash. The in
surgents ordinarily carry the weapon
In scabbard at the left side of the belt
Or dangling from chain attached to
the right wrist. In any case the weapon
Is not held in position for use until the
lines are within few yards of each
other.
When the word is passed the machete
Is pulled from the scabbard with an up
ward stroke diagonally to the right,
with the long sharp edge toward the
enemy. The stroke is aimed at the abb
domen of the person attacked, with the
intent of wounding the body below the
waist. Then, with the weapon raised
to the full length of the right arm, the
wrist is simply turned over and the
machete makes stroke back to the
left, so as to slash the victims neck,
and, If possible, partially behead him.
With one more turn of the wrist the
edge of the machete strikes downward,
cleaving the body again.
This is done with wonderful dexter.
ity, and these strokes are easiest to
learn of all made with edged weapons.
In the hands of the insurgents, habitu.
ated to the use Of the machete, and who
are very strong, these blows are fright
fully effective, and a machete wound
Is usually fatal. The battle of Baira,
In which so many spaniards were de-
capitated, and which was the bloodiest
In Cuban history was won by machetes
against the best American Springfield
rifles in the hands of the Spaniards.
The Cubans, however, have purchased
a number of Remington and Moser
rifles, and are making every effort to
encourage their countrymen in the use
of guns.

American Girl Who surprised Paris

American Girl Who Surprised Paris.
The fete recently given by the Coun-
tess Castellane, formerly Miss Anna
Gould, was one of the most elaborate
ever seen in Paris. Three thousand in
vitations were issued, and the cost of
the fete was not far from 100000
The event was planned to reproduce
the fifth day of the fetes celebrated at
Versailles on the occasion of the mar
riage of Louis XIV. with Marie Theresa
of Austria. An army of workmen were
employed for a week preparing fire
works and transforming the grounds Of
the residence in the Cercle des Acacias,
on the avenue du Bois de Boulogne.
The fete opened with dinner, accom-
panying which was a series of sur
prises. On raised platform 600 cory
phees, chorus men and women and the
musicians of the opera, reproduced the
choruses and dances of the 18th CEN
fury. After the fireworks there was
dancing, and the entertainment closed
with grand supper.

Hear Them.
That Many People Listen to Lind and
Towne at Duluth.
One Of the Greatest Meetings Ever Held in
This State.
Mr.. Lind is Given an Enthusiastic Recep-
ton:

MIR. Lind, the candidate of the people
, for governor, spoke at Daluth Saturday
and so did Charles A. Towne, the hrilli-
ant young Congressman. The demon
stration accorded these un,1aunted cham
! pions of silver coinage was something
wonderful. Previous to the meeting a
parade was. held in which, the papers
say, from 1000 to 5000 people were in
line and all were enthusiast and nearly
all workingmen. The meeting was held
IN the street car barns, the only building
large enough to hold the immense crowd
and the seating capacity of which is
placed at 10000. EARLY IN the evening,
this was well-nigh filled, but when the
parade was over people piled into the
building in masses. packing It to it's ut
most capacity. Large numbers were
unable to gain admission.
Mr.. Lind was the first speaker, his ap-
pearance upon the platform being greet
ed by tremendous applause which lasted
for many minutes. He is said to have
maze a strong speech and eloquently
urged the people of Duluth to stand by
Mr.. Towne.
MIR. Towne's speech was devoted al
most wholly to the financial question
and was listened to for two hours with
marked attention.
All in all it was a great meeting and
the silver men are in ecstacy.
An incident in connection with the
meeting, tending to show the methods
to which the opposition are resorting, is
worth recording. A lot OF miners from
a neighboring town, several hundred
in number, wanted to go down to Du-
luth to hear the speeches, but the rail-
road company would not transport them
on special train for less than 5000.
When the Thurston meeting was held a
a few days ago under the auspices Of the
Republicans, the same company offered
to haul them for $50.
The feeling of the miners can be I'M
aglned.

Why this Change?

In 1899, Mr.. VIM. Mckinley IN speak
ing OF Grover Cleveland said: "During
all of his years at the head Of the gov
eminent he Was dishonoring one of our
precious metals, one of our own great
products, discrediting silver and enhanc-
ing the price of gold. He endeavorcd,
even before his inauguration to office, to
stop the coinage of silver dollars, and
afterwards and to the end of his admin
stratlon persistently used his power to
that end. He was determined to con-
tract the circulating medium and de non
etize one of the CONS of commerce, limit
the volume of money among the people,
make money scarce and therefore dear.
He would have increased the value of
money and diminished the value of eve
rything clse-money the master and eve
rything else the servant. He was not
thinking Of 1.-THE poor" then. He had
left "their side." He was Lot "stunding
forth in their Defense" Cheap coats,
cheap labor, and dear money; the spo1-
sor and promoter Of these protesting to
stand guard over the poor and lowly.
Was there ever more glaring lnconsis-
tency or reckless assumption? He be-
lieves that poverty is blessing to be
promoted and encouraged and that Il
shrinkage in the value of everything but
money is a national benediction."
TO day Mr.. Mckinley stands upon a
platform forced upon the Party by the
monied men of the east and which tells
US Americans that we dare not change a
policy, admitted by all 20 be ruinous,
without first securing the consent Of for
eign nations,and particularly Great Brit
ian, nation which we have twice brought
to terms, under conditions less favorable
than they are at the present timo. Why
has Mckinley changed!

for Bryan and Lind.

]. H. Mullen, adjutant general under

Jack Mullen, has addressed the following
letter to Mr.. Lind from Wabasha:
Dear Sir: AS boy of twelve in 1856,
I trailed after the Wide Awakes and
shouted for Fremont. -Four years later
I carried banner dedicated to Abra
ham Lincoln. In 1864, on the picket
line in Virginia and in face of the enemy,
I cast my first vote, and I voted just as
I had been shooting for three years or
more plior thereto. From that day to
this have chung to the party of Abfa-
ham Lincoln with a loyalty and affection
like unto that of Ruth for Naomi.
"Whither thou goest, l will 60. Thy peo-
pie thall be my people and thy God shall
be my God" Butt never cxpec-
ted to live to see the party Of freedom
PROSTATE its belly in the dust and turned
over body and soul to a committee from
Wall Street. The situation today seems
to me over reaches the question Of free
coinage. We are brought face to face in
this contest-on the one side organ
lied wealth, on the other the common
people, the people of whom God made
so many. The contest IS here to stay,
and it cannot be disposed of till it IS
fought out. am heartily in sympathy
with you in this matter and extend my
hand.

It will do the republican machine no
good to state that John Lind is the tool
Of Mr.. Washburn, for the whole state
knows that to be lie. The nomina-
ton of Lind was not brought about by a
machine. 1t was spontaneous upr1s-
ing of the people who have grown sick
and sore at what they deem to be the
wrongs Of the state machine, which is
now in control of Merriam and Hill, Dave
Clough being but the willing servant Of
these people. The people know that
there is something out Of order. Our
state administration is corrupt People
are controlling the state to- their own ad-
vantage. The same machine that encnm-
passed the nomination Of Clough tried
to defeat Mr.. Childs for having thwarted
the consolidation scheme of James J,
Hill. The people propose this year to
resent the wrongs of the past ard they
intend to elect John Lind, a man whost
honesty they do not dare toquestion and
they will try to elect him IN the hope
that he will reform the existing evils anu
purify the atmosphere. Many will vote
