Grim .shre,vlIneas

Sir Wenyss Reid, according to the Lon
don Telegraph, tells a story redolent of a
grim shrewdness characteristic of canny
Novocas trians: There was a worthy
long since forgotten, in my time, who
was prototype of Rogue Riderhood, in
Our Mutual Friend He was known as
Cuckoo Jack and he lived upon the Tyne
m well-patched Old boat, picking up
any trihe thai came his way from dere-
let TO corpse. One day an elderly and
most estimable Quaker of Newcastle, in
stepping from a river steamboat to the
quay, slipped and fell into the stream.
cuckoo Jack was at hand with his boat,
and quickly rescued the luckless friend
ana landed him dripping on the quay. The
good man drew half a crown from his
pocket and solemnly handed it to his pre-
server. Jack eyed the coin for a moment
with lack-luster gaze, spat upon ii solemn
ly for luck and, having placed it safely
in his pocket, said in a matter-of-fact
tone to the soaked Quaker: Man, ah'd
hey gotten five shillin' for takin We to the

bottled Germs in a Street Car.

When the absent-minded young man
with glasses got off car No. 152 of the
Third avenue line yesterday morning, he
left a small paper parcel behind him, says
the New York Press. One of the passen-
gers snapped off the rubber band to see if
anything inside would reveal the owner
name Three little walls, apparently
empty, fell to the floor.
'Diphtheria germs!" exclaimed the man
who first picked one of them up, as he
read the label.
Pneumonia germsl' shouted the man
who held the second.
Cholera germsl!i" shrieked the man
who had the third bottle.
Enough germs there to kill the whole
world" said the reader of the Weldt-
Charnal, who sat in the corner, and a
panic followed. Everybody tried to get
off the car at once, and one young woman
sprained her ankle.
The conductor took charge Of the germs
and gave them to the superintendent in
his office. He told the police, and the po-
lice told Bellevue hospital; but at last ac-
counts the germs are still in dangerous
proximity to the money drawer of the
cable road.

Slightly MIXED.

'The Mixers have beautiful new dog,
George. I saw Mr. Mixer out with him
this morning. He had lovely new collar
and a sky blue blanket" quotes the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

why, no. the dog. 1 think he has Irish
blood in him. He looks just like a bull
dog my Uncle Jim once owned"

I'm talking about the dog. 1t was anus
ing to see the demure way he walked be-
hind his master. But just as they passed
our house Miss Badgers cat crossed the
street, and you should have seen the dog
jump! He pulled the cord around Mr.
Mixers legs and made one terrible bound
for the poor kitty But Mr.. Mixer held on
to him. When he found he couldn't get
the cat he sat on the sidewalk and howled
like a lost demon"

Because the name of Mixers new dog

Free ships" means simply extending to
American citizens the privilege of pur-
chasing ships wherever they are to be had
for the least money. and the right to have
them given American registry ana to sail
them under the American fag. Ships
having an American registry and sailing
under the stars and stripes are, of course,
under the protection of the government,
and enjoy certain privileges. But under
our antiquated and paternaEstic laws,
shin may not have American registry I'M
less it was built in the United States, no
matter who may be its owner; provided,
the owner lacks a sufficient pull" in
congress to have a special act passed for
his benefit. The fact that several ships
of foreign build are at present flying the
American flag by grace Of congress
through special acts is considered very
good proof that there is no need for the
general law prohibiting American regis
try for foreign built ships. If a great
transatlantic ferry line may have ships
built abroad given American registry, why
should not the small ship owner have the
privilege of American registry for ships
that he may purchase abroad? If Amer
lean registry is a good thing for great
ships, why is it not also a good thing for
small ships? The basis of the law is pro-
lection for the New England ship yards
The New England ship builders have Sc
cured the right to say to American ship
owners, If you do not let us build your
ships, at our own price, you shall not
sail them under the American flag.
Having secured this preposterous con-
cession from congress, which has reulted
in very nearly protecting the American
merchant marine off the ocean, the New
England ship builders are still not salts
fed. They now propose to congress that
it shall pass a law putting a discriminat-
ing duty upon imports brought to this
country in ships of foreign registry.
1t transpres that a great many Ameri-
cans own foreign built ships which they
sail under foreign flags because they are
not permitted to sail them under the flag
of their own country. Many of these
American-owned foreign vessels are en-
gagged in the foreign trade. The latest
proposition of the New England ship
builders is that such American owners
shall be taxed 10 per cent more than the
American owners of ships built in their
yards. In other words, having driven the
American owner who declined to buy
ships of them at their own price out of
the coastwise trade, they propose also to
drive him out of the foreign trade with
this country, if possible.

Personal.

The early British custom of erecting
cairns or heaps of stones, to commemor-
ate events is one greatly in favor with
the queen.
The late Mrs. scott-Siddons was con-
sidered by some people the most beauti-
full professional woman seen on the stage
or rostrum for a quarter of a century.
With reference to Rudyard Kipling
w. D. Howells says: His is the lusd-
est voice now lifted in the world-the
clearest, the bravest, with the fewest
false notes in it,
-Wayman Crow McCreery, who has
been appointed internal revenue collector
for 81. Louis, has held the college record
for the long-distance base ball throw,
has been champion amateur billiardist,
is choirmaster of Christ church cathedral,
is good singer has composed an opera,
and is president Of a sound money club.
Count Won Waidersee, who, rumor per-
sists in declaring, is to succeed Prince
Iohenlohe as the imperial chancellor of
Germany, has an American wife. Her
father was once a wholesale grocer in
New York city. AS Mary Esther Lea she
went to Europe, and when she married
Prince Won Noer in 1864, she had won the
reputation of being the handsomest and
most accomplished woman in Paris. She
was 26 then and the prince was nearly 70.
The prince died in six months, leaving
her a fortune estimated at 100000. The
Emperor of Austria thereupon created
her a princess in her own right. Two
years later Princess Won Noer married
Count Won Waldersee who is only six
years her senior. During the short reign
of Emperor Frederick she acquired great
influence at the German court, and has re-
tanned very high standing at Berlin.

weighing Thought,

Thinkers are threatened. Not only those
shock-headed and heavy-browed persons
! who arrogate TO themselves the title of
thinkers" because they think things they
think unthinkable to others, but the dainty
maiden whose thoughts are as light and
tender es love itself. is also threatened.
And not only these. but all between the
extremes are in danger Of losing their Sc
crets, through the acute ear and the x-ray
eye Of modern science. The information
comes by cable that Prof. Mosso, an Ital-
ian psychologist, has perfected a thought
weighing machine. It is a pair Of bal
ances SO exquisitely adjusted as to weigh
uneringly the amount of blood in the
brain. Thought causes the rush of more or
less blood to the cerebral cells. When one
thinks real hard. the rush Of blood to
the brain is greater than when the brain
is not occupied with anything requiring
mental effort. When a man is figuring
on election returns, and the candidate
upon whom he has wagered a round sum
at two TO one is steadily falling behind,
his brain becomes positively gorged with
for inch than so much beef liver
Prof. AIosso has already been able to tell
from his Notwithstanding machine
whether the man whose brain is being
weighed is reading Latin, or Greek. 1t
takes harder study-more concentration
to read Greek than Latin, hence the
brain is heavier when graphing with
Greek verbs and roots than when it is
wrestling with Latin. Having got so far
along in the study of the mind by weight,
it is obviously a matter of time only when
the brain weighing sharps will be
able to tell pretty accurately just what
a person is thinking about. 1t is known
that the various emotions produce vary
ing results upon the physical body. Fear
of the dentists forceps will cause a tooth
to quit aching. This is explained upon
the principle that fear causes the pressure
of blood upon the pulsating nerves of the
tooth to be reduced Presumably fear
also diminishes the pressure of blood in
the brain. 1t is quite certain that love
does, for love almost invariably makes
one light-headed. On the other hand jeal-
ousy makes a mans brain a seething
cauldron of blood. He wants to spill
blood. But it is the other fellows that
he wants to spill. Prof. Mosso will prob
ably be able to tell all of those things
from the weight of the brain after q
while, besides many other things not yet
dreamed of by the layman II is altogether
within the range of possibilities that he
will expose to us the shallowness of the
ponderous thinker" whose strong hold is
to shake his head and look wise when a
deep question is propounded. He may be
able to lay bare before us the sham of
the practical politician who weeps for the
woes of the poor, dear people, yet whose
brain is continually pulsating with
thoughts as to how he may best advance
his own selfish interests at the cost of the
people. There are great possibilities ahead
of the thought-weighing scientist. And
the future is ominous for the thinker.

DunIkards COMM south.

The Baltimore Sun chronicles the de-
parture of a small colony of farmers from
Washington county, Maryland. to settle
where they have purchased lands and will
engage in farming and fruit raising. The
Sun says small colonies have been going
out from Washington county for settle
ment in new lands for a hundred years,
but the colony now referred to lis the
first one to travel southwark" 1t viii
probably not be the last one.
1t is gratifying to note the class of i'm
migrants coming south. The great major
ity of immigrants going to the northwest
and the west are ignorant and undesira-
bic foreigners, many of whom will never
be assmilated by the American people,
and who live in more or less of ignorance
and squalor, with only the purpose in view
of accommodating a few dollars and going
back to the countries from which they
came. They do not speak our language,
care nothing for our customs and institu-
tons and add nothing to the community
in which they live.
On the other hand, the south is receiv-
ing immigration of the most desirable
class; people who, as a rule are fairly
well educated, are honest, frugal and in
dustrious. In almost every instance they
are Americans, born under the stars and
stripes, and reared in love for their coun-
try, and with pride in it's traditions and
aspirations. They speak the English Ian
of I
community of their adopted homes at
once. They are additions to southern
population to be proud of.
The Dunkards who have Just removed
to Alabama from Maryland are Of the
class of immigrants just mentioned. They
are the descendants of an old German
Baptist people, who have been living in
Maryland for generations. They are a
peace-loving, religious industrious peo-
pie, who will be a benefit to the communi-
ty in which they settle in every way.
Georgia has only recently received a
large colony of newcomers belonging to
the same general class. We refer. OF
course, specifically to the Fitzgerald col
ony. because it is more widely known.
But there has been considerable immi-
grafton in other sections of the state by
progressing, intelligent educated Eng
disappearing white Americans from both
the east and the northwest. They have
found good homes, fruitful SOIL an
equable climate, and they are contented
and prospecting.
immigration to the south has heretofore
been somewhat slow. But such immi.
grants as the south is now getting, are
well worth waiting for. The south is
beyond question, the garden spot of the
country. 1t would seem that it had been
proyidentially reserved for good people

william Booth Meets samuel Brown.

The other day at McMinnville, says the
Pendleton East Oregonian, at the meeting
of the bimetallic league, Samuel Brown,
son of John Brown of soul goes marching
on fame, met William Booth son of the
sheriff who hanged John Brown AS is the
custom of all conventions in Oregon every
delegate does his best to get acquainted
with every other delegate, and all dele
gates speak whether acquainted or not
Several delegates were going about intro
ducing a rather handsome man of 40 or
Whereabouts, whom they called Mr.. Booth
of McMinnville. They would say of him:
Mr.. Booth is the son of the sheriff who
hanged John Brown Of Ossawa tonne at
Harpers Ferry"
All of which caused people to take more
than a common interest in Mr.. Booth Fin
ally Mr.. Booth was introduced to a man of
excellent appearance, whose name was
Samuel Brown. After the introduction Mr.
Booth and Mr.. Brown chatted very pleas
antly for minute or two.
''Mr. Booth" said Mr. Brown, twas it
your father who hanged John Brown at
Harper's Ferry?'
Eyes" said Mr.. Booth. "He was sheriff
at that time, and it was his duty to Of
fciate at the execution. No relative of
yours, I hope?"
"only my father" was the quiet reply.

per Row the other day of the kindness of
heart of the late George w. Chflds, says
a writer in the Washington Post Mr.
Childs was leaving the Ledger office one
night very late when he heard an alarm
OF fire, and an old man came running down
the stairs. Mr.. Childs asked him his bus
mess. m going 10 report that fire. said
the old man. How long have you been
a reporter on this paper?" asked Mr.
Childs. Fourteen years" said the old
man. WELL" said Mr.. Childs, you go
back to the city editor and tell him 1 say
to send somebody who is younger" The
old man obeyed. He was told afterward
that he need not report for duty again
Mr.. Childs had pensloned him. A year
or so after that the man who told the story
happened to enter Mr.. Childs' office just
as the pensioner was leaving The great
editor was laughing. The pensfoner, he
said, had come in with great deal of wor-
ry ON his mind to ask a serious question
Don't you get your money regularity
asked Mr. Childs. "Oh yes" answered the
man, "but it has worried me a lot lately,
sir; it has worried me a lot to know what's
going to become of me when you die"

1t is a question whether state aid is not
an injury to the university of the state
of Georgia in the long run, and yet we do
not see how the university could exist
without such aid What we mean is this:
AS long as the state makes appropriations
for the support of the university the in
stitution stands a very poor chance of
getting help from rich men.
The great colleges of the east and west
have splendid endowments from rich men.
Some of these men are still living, but the
most Of them remembered in their wills
the institutions they favored. There are
many of these wealthy colleges, and the
most of them, every once in a while, re-
ceive an addition to their wealth. 1t is
known that they depend upon gifts for
their existence and, hence, those who
have wealth to give away remember them.
The University of Georgia is not remem-
bered by rich men. 1t is regarded as a
state institution. And, hence, wealthy
men do not think of it as needing help. AS
long as it depends upon the state it will
remain poor.
Ana there Is another thing that should
not be overlooked by its friends. 1t is
that there is a pretty strong sentiment
throughout the state that the money that
is given to the university should 80 to the
support of common schools. We do not
say this TO lessen the regard for the uni
versity. We do not oppose state aid for
the institution, but we simply state what
we conceive to be the actual condition of
affairs, namely, that as long as the uni
versity depends upon the state it will
have very little wealth of its own, from
which to derive an income. and the feel
ing that the money that is appropriated
for the university ought to go to the sup
port of the common schools is likely to
become stronger.
