Bored By Andrew Lana,

Even the shrewdest persons may at
times be deceived. No matter how
much people may differ upon the gen
JUS of Andrew Lang, they are unani-
nous in regard to his quick intelli-
gence and his talent for playing golf
Not long ago he was a guest at very
distinguished dinner, which he is said
to have described as an extraordinary
survival of savage mysteries, but Mr..
Langs enjoyment was utterly ruined
by having, as he put it, "a budding
funny man on the one hand and a
diabolically deaf socialist on the
other" 81 could not" added the
famous critic, tell which Of the two
was the more mournful companion"
Two weeks afterward it got out that
the socialist was not deaf; that he had
come to the banquet prepared to be
bored by less learned guests; that he
had been seated alongside an idiotic
middle-aged gentleman, who did moth
ing but talk golf" and that to protect
himself he had simulated a deafness
which kept his neighbor bawling.-

After the Galveston Disaster.

In the supreme hours which follow
ed section forgot section. Within a
day a million dollars in food and
money sprang like an angel out of
heaven to the rescue of the destitute.
There was no thought of caste or
class or creed. A people had been
stricken and succor was needed. In
the full proof of mans weakness to
stand against aroused nature, he
arose to that supreme height which is
beyond the touch of any tempest.
True, there were, as there always
have been and always will be, in
stances of inhumanity and plumber,
but the offenders, when seen, were
shot down with as much promptness
as the weak were succored. The
bright lights of our national disasters
are so strong that the shadows hardly
show.-Saturda Evening Post.

Only pin, but it calmly lay
On the tufted floor in the light of
day;
And shone serenely fair and bright,
Rejecting back the monday light.
Only a boy; yet he saw that pin,
And his face assumed a fendish grin;
He stopped for awhile with look in
tent,
Till he and the pin alike were bent.
Only a chair; but upon its seat
A wellbent pin found safe retreat;
Nor had the keenest eye discerned
That heavenward it's point was
turned.
Only a man; but he CHANGED to drop
Upon the chair, when 1z-bang pop!
He leaped like cork from out a bot
tie,
And opened wide his valve de throttle.
Only yell, though an honest one;
1t lacked the element of fun;
And boy and man, and pin and chair,
In wild confusion mingled there.

their daughters for immoral purposes
seems an irradicable custom, and
continues despite the new constitu-
ton. The courts have even ruled,
quite recently, against young women
who have prayed to be released from
such degrading bondage. The great
mistake, according to Mr.. Bergen, was
the failure of the treaty powers to
make proper investigation of the new
codes before signing the treaties.
Japan merely copied institutions or
gave high sounding civilized names to
innovations the scope of which not 1
per cent. of it's people understood.
The emperor and a few of his sup
porters, such as the Marquis Ito, may
earnestly wish to see the written laws
enforced and the new constitution up
held, but the vast majority of the
people do not understand them and
continue according to the old tradi-
tiOns.
In presenting these facts about
Japan Mr.. Bergen has performed a
G"AANA
other foreigners. There has been a
quite general impression that Japan,
under it's new conditions, offered a
peculiarly attractive field for invest
ment; that it's people had taken readi-
ly to the changed order, and that
foreigners not only were wanted
there but that they would be warmly
welcomed. But Mr.. Bergen has given
another view of the case which will
cause intending investors to pause I'M
til the Japanese field has been more
thoroughly investigated. If the solemn
pledge of treaties has had no effect
upon the natives in general perhaps
a sharp brush with such a nation as
Russia might persuade the Japanese
that laws are made to be enforced
that their immoral traditions and GUS
toms will not be tolerated and that
the rights of foreigners must be re-
spected.

FREAKS IN ADVERTISING.

Ingenious Arrangements for Printing
on Stockings and Spools.
The art of printing has found, with
in recent years, a good many develop
ments of which the average well-in-
formed person knows nothing. Ma
chimes, for example, have been patent
ed for printing on matches. The
matches are thrown into hopper,
whereupon a revolving wheel receives
them one by one in it's teeth and car
ries them beneath the instrument that
stamps the legend upon them. An
other continuance prints upon gun
wads data which inform the sports
man, when he looks into the end Of
each cartridge, how much powder it
contains and what is the size of the
shot.
The printing on stockings, which
includes the trademark and often
some such words as Fast Black" is
done by a machine made for that sole
purpose. Another machine prints let
tering on cigars, and yet another
adorns barrels with the firm names
of the concerns whose products fill
them. There is a special device for
printing on the ends of spools of
thread, and another for putting letters
on buckets. One of the most curious
contrivances is machine for print
ing on gelatin capsules. Another de-
vice is for printing on broom-handles
the name and address of the manu-
facturer. The lettering on collars and
cuffs, which states the trademark and
number, is done by a machine built
for that particular purpose.
But the very newest continuance in
this class of inventions is a machine
for printing advertisements on the
asphalt pavements of streets. 1t is a
species of bicycle, the tire of the front
wheel having series of raised let
ters on it's periphery. These letters,
as the wheel revolves, print the name
of soap, or what not, while an auto
matte blower at the bottom of the fork,
blows the dust away from the pave
ment in front.-Saturday Evening

SELECTING THE SPEAKERS.

Real Work that Requires Prompt
Judgment and Good Diplomacy.
"Both the chiefs of the two great
armies of campaign spellbinders are
Ohioans,'' writes Forrest Crissey, in
The Saturday Evening Post. Mr..
Henry G. Hedges, who enlists and
directs the oratorical forces of the
republicans, is a prominent lawyer of
Mansfield, while Daniel McConville
comes from Steubenville. Mr.. Hedges
has been connected with the bureau
Of which he is now the head for three
national campaigns, and Mr.. McCon-
vile began service in his present ca
pacity in 1896. They are, however,
veterans in every phase of campaign
experience.
ut is slow day which does not
bring a hundred candidates for ora
torical honors to either of the Ma
tional Headquarters, and the average
is close to two hundred day. The
written applications brought in by
the mails are about equal to the num-
First impressions carry great
weight with the men who select the
orators, and they depend more upon
their ability to read human nature
than upon the results of any categori-
cal examination.
"a principle enforced by the daily
experience of these judges of spell
binders is expressed in the homely
adage that You cant tell by the looks
of toad how far he will jump
Rough diamonds of oratorica1 talent
are at a premium at national head
quarters, and it is recognized at the
speakers bureaus that the best spell
binder timber is often clothed with
shaggy bark. Silk hats, spotless
linen, white ties and faultless Prince
Albert suits do little to assure the
candidates of acceptance.
ga distinctive feature at National
Headquarters is the army of bright
young college men who are impatient
to try their mettle on the stump No
young college man need hesitate to
make application to Mr.. Hedges or to
Mr.. McConville, for both are en-
phatic in the declaration that the col
legeS and universities of the present
day are turning out better campaign
timber than ever before, and that
the humblest undergraduate is as
sured of a courteous welcome if he
chooses to seek a place in the ranks
of the spellbinders."

How Mr.. DooIey Surprised KipIina.


Mr.. Kipling was explaining a while
ago to an interested visitor from Amer.
lea how quickness and intelligence OF
observation, and kind of instructive
insight, sometimes enables the foreign
er to know, in short time, more OF
ones country than one does ones self
He pointed the remark by a reference
to Mr.. Peter DUNES visit to Eng
land.
During it, Mr.. Kipling met Mr.
Dunno, and the conversation by some
chance touched upon the London
bus conductor, and anecdote and OBJ
servation were exchanged.
Here was Dunne," declares Mr.
Kipling, in London for only a short
time, and already he knew the bus
driver knew him, mind you, and he's
a most curious type and most char
acteristic-knew him better than
most Londoners I have ever met
The tribute to mr.. Dooleys" acu-
men and penetrating observation was
well deserved; how we'll deserved Mr.
KipIhng does not know. Mr.. Dunno
does know the London bus driver
But if any one in Chicago will catch
Mr.. Dunno during a moment of leisure
and ask him how many times he rode
on top of an omnibus, Mr. Dunno will
be forced to admit that it was just
once.-Saturday Evening Post.

When Tracts Were Trumps.

An army officer tells this story:
"One of my chaplain friends was on
an army transport, going south with
officers and men from various regi-
ments. The Officers were playing
cards in the cabin from morning to
night. When Sunday came the chap
lain took good supply of reading
matter from his cabin, and was on
hand with it as the breakfast table
was cleared off and the officers were
getting ready to play cards as usual.
Stepping to the head of the table, he
said, good-naturedly: Gentlemen,
tracts are trumps today, and it's my
deal ALI right, chaplain the officers
responded, give us a hand The books
and prayers were given out No cards
were played that day. The chaplain
had his opportunity unhindered, be-
cause he showed tact in his way of
presenting his case" New York

Irish Wit.

An Irishman who was travelling
through London met two Englishmen
who thought they would play joke
on him.
One of them said: Good morning
Pat! Did you hear the devil is dead?'
The Irishman put his hand in his
pocket and gave each copper.
They asked what this was for, to
which he replied:
"Tis always a custom in ou1d Ire
land, when the father is dead, to give
something to the poor orphans!"

GIANT TREES OF CALIFORNIA.
Some Figures That Give Good Idea
of Their Immense Size.


The recent attempt of lumber man
ufacturing firm to obtain possession of
the great tree groves of California for
the purpose of converting them into
merchantable lumber has directed at
tention anew to those wonderful pro-
ducts of nature. Few, however, have
a very clear idea of the magnitude of
those trees, many of which have a
diameter of fifteen feet, while a num-
Der have been found measuring up
ward of thirty.
The famous group known as the
Mammoth Grove of Calaveras, contain
ing above ninety large trees, stands in
38 degrees north latitude, about 1870
feet above the sea, between the San
Antonio and Stanislaus rivers. Ac-
cording to Vischer it was discovered
by hunter in 1852, but it had ap-
parently been visited before, as the
date 1850 is cut on one of the trees.
The bark of one of the finest trunks
was foolishly stripped off to the
height of lie feet and exhibited in
New York and London It is now in
the Crystal palace The tree, known
as the mother of the forest" soon
died At the base it measured ninety
feet in girth and the dead tree was
321 feet high. A PROSTATE trunk in
the neighborhood is eighteen feet in
diameter 800 feet from the base.
Some trees in the Mariposa grove
rival these IN size. One measures 101
feet round the root and a cut stump is
thirty-one feet in diameter.

colorado,s County Court Judges.

In Colorado it is not necessary that
judges of county courts shall be law
yers. The result has been that de-
cisions of such tribunals, when APP
pealed, are reversed in almost half of
the cases. 1t is found that in nearly
all cases county courts get at the
equity all right, but err as to techni-
calities and it is suspected that more
or less INSCRIPTIONS lawyers lay traps
to bring about just such results.

Children Should Not Be Permitted to

II abominate night parties for chill

clan recently, while speaking of the
care Of the young, "and believe every
physician does. It is not so much the
exposure and the eating in the night,
but the breaking into the sleep habit.
Equally bad is it for children to study
in the evening. 1t gorges their brains
with blood, and if they sleep they
dream. | had a little patent of IL
years who was wasted and nervous
and whose dreams were filed with his
problems. It was a marvel and a
pride to his parents that the youngster
worked out hard problems in his sleep
such as he failed to master when
awake. But he came near his final
problem. I locked up his books at 4
o'clock He must not touch one after
supper, he must play and romp and
then go to bed. He is now robust.
You cannot emphasize too strongly the
mischief of children's night study"
