Three young men were seated at
table III a Market street restaurant. One
of them drew from mis- pocket and laid
upon the table a silver dollar, says the
Philadelphia Record. Beside it he
placed visiting card, with a round
hole about a half inch in diameter
pierced through its center. Said he:
.'See the fat, white dollar? See the little
hole in the card? Bet you the cigars 1
can push the big dollar through the
little hole" I'll 60 you," said one of
his companions; but, remember, you
are to push that dollar through that
hole without charging the hole
That's what" responded the proposer

table. he held the card on edge just be-

which he showed through the hole in the
card until it touched tia edge of the
coin. Pushing the dollar-through the

The [ air of Heat.

We cannot, of course. measure hea.
by yards, pintS or pounds, but the unit
of heat (the standard measure of that
phenomenon has been agreed upon by
those whose business il is to philoso-
phize on that subject 10 be that quaint
ty which can raise a pound Of water one
degree. Now. to turn pound of water
into a pound of steam requires 967 of
these units of heat; that is to say, if
we boil pound of water until it all
goes away in steam we shall have used

1T Is not wise TO assume as mat
ter of course that the Legislature is or
gained with view to favor railway
corporations. 1t is time enough to
change that when its acts justify the
accusation. The present legislature
may prove as incompetent and cor
rupt as the last one: but Just now
there is evident an honest purpose.
That should be encouraged. When
dishonesty becomes apparent it can
lie whipped more effectually by not
using carping tactics or finding fault
when the occasion does not exist.
When an act is performed, which de-
serves censure it should receive it and
the men responsible should be de-
nounced That will prove the most
effective means of securing faithful
discharge of duty.

THERE Is quite a row on over the sena
torial contest at Springfield, Ill. Tanner,
whose election as governor was a disgrace
equal toAltgeld's assumed the role of boss
and directed that Madden be chosen.
The determined opposition of the press
forced Madden to withdraw and now
Tanner has selected man of not much
greater moral stature than Madden, and
that is Lorlmer. Mason leads in the
caucus but is probably too decent man
to win with the Tanner influence domIn-
ant. The democrats were resolved not to
rise above Tanners plane and nominated
Altgeld.

The satisfaction generally expressed at
the election of John {. Spoouer to the
United States senate must be pleasing
to that gentleman. 1t is not Senator
Spooner's eloquence which gives him the
popularity he enjoys. 1t is due in large
measure to his geniality, his candor and
his unselfshness Spooner has not been
spoiled by success. He is as simple in
manners now as he was before he attain
ed distinction. Another thing which adds
TO the regard in which he Is held is, that
he does not assume the role OF dictator.
