The Hopper is little politician who

some one In authority, who may do

For a long time, the process by which
these little foppers changed was not
fully understood. Now 1t Is known.
Certain offices, when viewed through
the maybcican ''nerve," produce an
expansion Of the head OF the Hopper.
The result Is a protective idea, or one
resembling the views Of the State ONO.

Of the animal are resting. His eye

which passes from the maybcican
nerve to the byjinksiwill nerve, and

A Washington policeman says hc
can read character by tho manner In
which people walk. Encrgctic peopsc
walk rapidly and with arm steps;
slovenly people just slouch along;
sentimental and sporty Wles walk

their heels down hard; proud men and
women walk with y springy step and
thieves do not stand straight IN their

A MISSISSIPPI CLOCK.

The Corlnth CorinthIan gives the
following account Of the invention of
II Mississippi genius:
+. +. Waits has on exhibition ut his
jewclry store Il clock that Is not only
novel and unique, but n paralyzer to
the average beholdcr. 1t has neither
spring, screw, wheel nor pendulum,
but H. tcers rcriec. time, varying not
a hairs breadth In IT'S performances
1t needs no winding and II sets itself
Mr.. Waits constructed the clock, which
he has on exhibition and which was
viewed by Il large and astonishcd
crowd yesterday, but he first received
the idea from u matchmaker In Ohio
some time ago.
The clock Is composed OF a glass
plate two feet square and two wooden
hands made Of light white pine. The
hands are very deiicatcly adjusted In
four different positions. The motive
power Is gravity alone. The hands
can be spun around the dial in the
same direction or in opposite dircc
tiOns, and after friction 0verc0mes tht
momentum OF the hands they return
To the correct time, whatever hou
that may be in the day. The friction
has been reduced as much rs possible
the steel arbor upon which the hands
revolvc being highly polished and a
hard rs glass. On each side Of tn
hands Is large glass jewel, which re
duces the friction t0a minimum. Thu
friction causes the minute hand to re
main about two or three minutes be
hind the time. On the end OF cacl
hand, behind the axle, is a round but
ton Of wood, which acts rs Il cOuntc
balance to the long portion Of tn
hand. The minute hand makes
complete revolution every hour Il
does the hour hand every Cwclv
hours, and they are not connecte
with eacl, other IN any relation what
ever. but maintain the same pOSitio
in regard to each other as do tn
hands OF an ordinary clock. 1t Is tn
simplest thing in the way OF a clOc
that can be imagined and Is wel
wortl, the readers time to 20 ar0un
and sec it. 1t will give you points y
art and natural philosophy that pei
haps you have never dreamed Of, q
suspected that such simply cor
structed and unique device for correc
timc-kceping could be utilized.

Twcnty.four years ago l was in To
kio, says IA writer in the Criterion.
Woman at that period of Japanese
society was mostly toy and frequent
ly a slave. One could buy young
girl from her parents for about $6 per
month, and there was no stigma at
taching in the peasant or In the
bourgeois mind to the girl thus sold
into slavery by her mother and father.
She might return to her grade Of So
cicty and her hand was almost as like
ly to be sought in honorable marriage
us that Of any other. -r''. 'i T
japanese women OF the nobility or
OF the wealthier merchant class lad
omparatively gay and easy lives; but
they were slaves-tO the iron rule that
Ignorance was w0man's most becoming
attribute. At best they were simply
giorited toys. e" -'.- 3 4'.. ''
Now, as II some Western wizard
had waved a wand over the fair island
of the rising sun, a marvellous trans
mutation Is beginning to manifest It,
self, not as the mere frcakishness of a
volat lie rare, but as real movement
with promise Of persistent progress.
The latest news confirming thi!
phenomenon Of Japanese development
is that II university for women Is Il
lc established at TOkiU; that 1t vii
cost about SOC. 600; that the MOBILES
and burcaucrats favor II; that tn
emperor and empress have headed
popular subscription for 1t.
Curious the change just a genera
tiOn can make In the viewpoint an
temper of a people. The opponents o
wo,nan's suffrage In this countr
should hasten to send missiOnarlC
into Japan. Else women may he d.
ing such awfully mannish things Il
