A TALMUDIcAL TALE.

thlevlng! SchOOlmaSter once asked
his scholars.
One answered Hunger" another
Extravaganza" another Envy"
but one little fellow, wiser than all the
rest, replied Receivers.
"Well answered, my little man, y said
the master Nov I'll tell you tale
out of the Midrash. You know that
King Solomon says, Whoever is a
partner with thief, hateth his own
SOUL which means he that derives
gain from a thief by helping him to re-
alize the profit of the theft, is thor
oughly dishonest himself, and OF the
two, is the more culpable.
Nov, the Midrash illustrates this
proverb in this fashion !: A powerful
and wise prince once made a law that
the receiver of stolen property should
be hanged and the thief go free. This
caused great discomfort among certain
people who lived like gentlemen among
others who associated with them, at
tended their fine parties, and likewise
among some who had sufficient sense
to understand the true intention of
the Prince
1.-The Prince, anxious to teach the
people the wisdom OF his edict, ordered
all his disconnected subjects to meet
him on large field which he had pre-
pared for the occasion
Nov, the day before they met, he
had the ground pierced with number
of holes. The malcontents assembled,
and the Prince ordered some large pie
ceS of meat to be Strewn all over the
ground and few weasels to be let
loose. In very short time the weas-
els disappeared down the holes with
the neat and the field was empty.
''On the morrow the Prince again
assembled the malcontents, again let
loose the thievish weasels; but he had
taken the precaution to have every
hole and nook stopped up. So when
the weasels bounced on the meat, and
ran with it to the little dens, where
they had before disposed of the pro-
ceeds of their theft they found the
holes closed against them; SO they
dropped their spoils, and, Idon't know

The irrigating ditch on West Adams street, between Center and First avenue was cleaned yesterday, and in the process it was made as crooked as a rams horn. It is fair sample of the street work that is being performed under the present city administration. In most any other town the city authorities would strive to make the city streets presentable at least during a week in which thousands of visitors are expect ed. If the city council could be aroused to a sense of it's responsibili- ties carnival visitors might secure q most favorable impression of the town. We respectfully request Professor Griffith to see if he can't rescue the gentlemen from their trance.

A paragraph in the news dispatches from Manila is strongly reminiscent of
 the American campaign THE INCON- in Porto Rico a year SIDERATE ago when Gen. Miles FILIPINOS. marched across the is
 land to the tune of ''The Star Spangled Banner" and the cheers of the multitudes:
 During the entire movement from Corona to Dagupan not a shot was fired. The inhabitants of San Carlos met the Americans with a band for merly attached to the insurgent army, and the alcalde, with General MacAr- thur and Colonel Bell, in a carriage, headed a procession through the town. General Macarthur received an ova- tion."
 -- How will this information stick in the craw of the anti-imperialists? Does this look like criminal aggression?" Will not the junior senator from Illi- nois lose flesh when he reads of this vicious attitude on the part of the Fil- ipinos. traitors to their Tagal leader? Will not Aguinaldo Atkinson have an attack of blue devils? These be bitter days for the seekers after campaign issues.

precocious, hardy. and more capable of maintaining themselves under adverse circumstances than their parents, and as a rule. they at first resent being pressed into the service of man-they reluctantly give up their freedom
 Sometimes, as already stated, there is no progress, not reversion, but a ''throwback" to the ancestors of one or both of the immediate parents. There is in other words, says Prof. Ewart, a 'reappearance of certain lost but presumably latent characters, ac | companied almost of necessity by the disappearance of the recently acquired peculiarities-mental and physical. Ob- viously reversion may be partial or all but complete. The amount, other things being equal, usually varies with the extent to which the crossed forms differ; the more extreme the cross the greater, as a rule, the throwback. In some cases the mixed (human) off, spring will closely resemble. externally at least, one of the parents. Travellers have often noticed that the offspring of Mongols, Polynesians, and red Indians with Europeans are sometimes almost identical with their colored parents. In the same way Euraseans might some times pass for Europeans; at other times they are as like Asiatics. As a rule, however, half breeds decidedly differ from both parents, and the more they are studied the more evident will it become that the differences are due to reversion, to the loss of the more recently acquired characteristics" "- Baltimore Sun.
