Wells in the Sand.

The Mexican burro has sense enough
70 provide for its own needs, if story
toid by traveller in that country be
true. We had found in an arrovo a
su1hcient quantity of water to make
coffee, when we observed three burros
looking for water. They passed sew
eral damp places, examining the
ground carefully, but deciding against
1t. Near MS the leader halted, and be-
gan to paw a hole in the hot, div sand
with his right forefoot. Having dug
a hole something over foot in depth
ne backed out and watched it intentIy.
10 our surprise it soon began to fill
with water. Then he advanced, took
a drink, and stepped aside as if inyit-
ing his companions to follow his ex-
ample. AT all events, that was the
light in which they seemed to view
his action, for they promptly advanced
and quenched their thirst at the shall
low we'll. When they had gone away
we got down and tried the water our
selves. 1t was cool and refreshing,
much better than any we had found for
many day. We came to the conolu-
sion that the burros had plenty OF
horse sense. "-Youth's COMPANION.

The barrels are now taken to the
strengthening room, where the opera
tor holds them up toward a white sur
face with horizontal black line upon
1t and looks through the bore. If the
bend is downward, the curved reflec-
tions of the black line on the surface of
the bore will be convergent; if upward,
they will be divergent. A few taps
of the hammer quickly straighten the
barrel until the reflected lines are per-
fectly true.

The people of Kansas were
a long time voting for a
measure to prevent railroads
from robbing them and when
they finally got a law that
did benefit them in a measure,
the federal court came along
and annulled it. The feder-
al judges are appointed for
life by the president who is
not elected by a direct vote
of the people, and their de-
cisions are supreme for all
time, or at least until such a
time asst may require for the
people to come to their senses
and establish a system of di-
rect legislation. Yet we fire.
quently hear some numb
skull politicians get up on the
rostrum and tell the people
in a foghorn voice that this
is free country-a govern
ment of, for and by the peo-
pie. And the disgusting
thing is that there are so
many fools who believe it,
without even manifesting a
desire to inquire into it.

Judge Hook has declared

Only means by which the
railroads of Kansas could be
restrained at all and now the
federal court has taken that
weapon out of the peoples
hands. Judge Hook holds the
law creating the court, I'M
constitutional for the reason
that it gives the court excu-
tive legislative and judicial
powers. This may be a reas-
on but we are inclined to
think that the greater reason
is the fact that the railroad
corporations wanted the law
knocked out. Perhaps a
few more such rank decisions
will force sufficient sense in
to the American people to
abolish lifetime judges and
adopt a system of direct leg
islation and government own
ership.
