TWO SYMPATHETIC LAKES.

and Swell Together.


and Swell Together.
The Wetternsee, in Sweden, like so
many other lakes, has long enjoyed the
local reputation of being a bottomless pit.
The Sweden scientists have now de-
stroyed the venerable legend, for in the
measurements taken few days ago they
have successfully demonstrated that the
greatest depth of the lake is only ll0
meters. There still remains, however, a
series of mysteries which science must
be content to leave unsOlved-at least
for time 1t is not only q Legendary be-
lief, but there is quasi-scientifc ground
for the queer supposition that living
creatures, animals and vegetable, can
and do make journeys to and fro be-
tween the high northern lake of Wet
tern and the south German lake of Con-
stance.
This bold conclusion has been partly
justified by the appearance of exactly
the same fauna and even of the same
animal life in the Sweden and the SWab-
ian inland seas. 1t is even asserted that
whenever there is q storm on the Lake
of Constance the Lake of Wettern be-
gins sympathetically to roll and swell,
and that the southern lake is similarly
moved by any agitation i'll the distant
northern lake.-kleine Zeitung.

There were five of us hunting and fish
ing in the Queensland bush, when one
rainy day a stranger appeared. He said
he was a tramp barber, and as none OF
us had been shaved for a fortnight we
gave him q days work.
About four hours after he had left us
q band Of six men rode up and the leader
inquired if we had seen q tall, roughly
dressed man pass that way. We told
him of the barber, and he looked from
man to man and exclaimed:
Coed gracious, but you are all fresh
~ shaYed!'
YES, we gave the barber a job"
''And he shaved everyone of you"
HE did, and did it we'll"
Boys, do you hear that" shouted the
man as he turned to his companions.
What of it?' asked one of our party
'Why, he went insane yesterday and
cut mans throat in his barber chair
over at Unadilla, and we're after him to
PVT him ID an asylum"
They rode away at q gallop, and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after q
hard fight and was tied on his horse. He
seemed to remember us when he was
given drink of water, and as he handed
the cup back he quietly observed:
Il say, gentlemen, please excuse me
I meant to finish off the last man who
got shaved, but l got thinking of some
thing else, and it slipped my mind.'-

Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts used to
tell this story to illustrate the average
negro's shreWdness in not compromising
himself A Boston man was at a hotel
in Charleston, w. Va, in 1859, during
John Browns hurried trial In the early
morning, before the guest had arisen, 81
negro came into the room to kindle his
fire The excitement concerning Brown
was then at it's height, and the negro,
knowing that the guest was from the
North, naturally wished to get his opin-
ion on the case. Yet he was not sure
whether it would be safe to disclose his
own views.
''Massa," said he, yer hear bout dis
man. John Brown, dey's tryin' hyar|'
"Oh, yes, I've heard about him?''
''What's dey goin' to do wild him?'
ooh, they'll convict him.
"Cervict i'm! What den?'
They'll hang him, sure as fate
There was, as yet, no sign Of the North
erners sympathies. The negro waited a
moment and then asked, cautiously:
''Massa, wouldn't dat be little alb
rup'?"

The Qrads
ANTI TRUST LAWS,

There is a popular belief that
the failure of antitrust laws, like
the failure of many other laws,
lies in the lack of enforcement
rather than in the inadequacy OF
the legislation. Be this as it
may, it is a noteworthy fact that
almost every failure IS followed
by a still more stringent enact
ment. New York furnishes a case
in point. There has been intro
duced in the Legislature OF New
York an antitrust bill which is
very comprehensive in it's charac-
ter. 1t provides that any corpor-
alton organized under the laws OF
that or any other State OF coun-
try for any association OF persons
whatsoever that shall create, en-
ter into, become a member OF or a
party to any pool, trust or COM
bination to control, limit, regu'
late or fix the price of any article
of manufacture or merchandise,
or shall enter into any agreement
or combination to fix or limit the
amount or quantity of any article
of manufacture or merchandise,
shall be deemed and adjudged
guilty of a conspiracy to defraud'
It further provides that it shall
not be lawful for any corporation
to issue or to own trust certlh-
Gates or to enter into any comb1-
nation the purpose of which is tc
place the management or control
of such combination in the hands
of any trustee or trustees. Viola
tions of these provisions by &
corporation organized under the
laws of the State shall forfeit its
corporate rights, while violation
by a corporation created by OF
under the laws of another State
shall forfeit it's right and priv
lege thereafter to do any business
in New York.
Fearlessly and rigidly enforced
a law like this ought to do the
work.
