No Word For Love.

In comparison with the English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo-
NOUS in some ways of expression and
wasteful in others.
For instance, it is impossible to kick"
Il man in French. You must give him
a "biow with the foot" The Portu-
guese do not twink" at one; they "close
and open the eyes"
In the languages of the American In
dams there is no word with which to
convey the idea of stealing" perhaps
because the idea of property is so
vague. 1t is related Of one of the early
missionaries that in attempting to
translate the Bible into Algonquin he
could find no word to express 'love"
and was compelled to invent 1t.

THE MAJORS VENGEANCE.
Mckinley and the Reporter Wha
PersIstentIy AssaiIed Him.

During one of his congressional cam
paigns Major Mckinley was followed
from place to place by reporter for Il
paper of opposite political faith, who is
described as being one of tECSe
"shrewd, persistent fellows who are al
ways ut work, quick to see an oppcr-
tunity and skilled in making the most
of It," While Mr.. Mckinley was an
noyed by the misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
he could not help admring the skill and
persistency with which he was assail-
ed His admiration, too, was not I'M
mixed with compassion, for the re-
porter was i'll, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr. Nc
Kinley took closed carriage for near
by town at which he was announced to
speak. The weather was wretchedly
raw and cold, and what followed is
thus described:
lie had not gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the eX-
posed seat. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. Get down
off that seat, young man." he said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking the time for
the majors vengeance had come.
"Here," said Mr. Mckinley, taking off
his overcoat, you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage"
But, Major Mckinley" said the re-
porter, 81 guess you don't know who |
am. | have been with you the whole
campaign, giving it to you every time
you spoke, and am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces if | can"
II know" said Mr.. Mckinley, "but
you put on this coat and get inside and
get warm so that you can do good
ob."-Chautauquan

A curious feature to travellers in the
highroads of Norway is the great num-
ber of gates-upward of 10000 in the
whole country-which have to be open
ed. These gates, which either mark
the boundaries of the farms or sep
arate the home fields from the waste
lands, constitute considerable in
convenience and delay to the traveller,
who has to stop his vehicle and get
down to open them.

why Snow Is Not Slack or Red.

Why is the snow white? is a ques-
tion frequently asked. Because black
snow would be dangerous; so would
red OF yellow. These are warming
up colors," and they change the suns
rays to heat. Such snow would soon
melt again and prove very poor pro-
lection. But white snow throws back
the sunlight in just the form in which
it receives it, and thus the snow can be
long on the ground. Throw dirt on
the snow and its dark color quickly
makes it eat it's way in whenever the
sun shines ON it. After n snowstorm.
once let the horses feet mingle the
dirt of the road with the snow and
seighing will soon b. over.-Profesaor

TOMMY ATKINS, BLUFF.

Even proud, arrogant and monarch
ial Britain can learn lesson when it
is shot into her Uranium by such ac-
curate marksmen as the Beers have
proven to be. OF course England
failed to appreciate the lesson of pa
triotism and failed to lend a hand to
pleading liberty, but she learned that
she was what is termed "big bluff"
in military affairs. The price paid
for this lesson was a colossal one, it
is true, but England feels now that
military foppery and shoulder strap
hauteur are elephantine burdens that
do more harm than good when it
comes to downright military practice
and gunpowder and bullet arguments.
A vast army clothed in gay garments,
brass buttons and self esteem has
crumbled away in the TransVaal like
an army of SO many bisque figures in
Ia Canadian hail storm. Proud British
blood has been spattered over the fop-
pish military apparel, and the fact
was revealed that the invading host
consisted of but two Ingredients
clothes and cold blood-lacking the
great requisites, courage, conscien ce
and efficiency.
1t is a wonder bleeding England
feels weak and weary in her laborious
undertaking of devastating the LAND
of the free and the home of the brave?'
England feels the need of military
reformation and has taken some steps
now in that direction. Tommy At
kins will be made to gather up his
lost vitality and to dispense with his
natural disdainful swagger. Officers
and men are ordered to wear their
uniforms less haughtily and to be more
deserving OF them. Other new regu-
lations of the British war department
show that the South African lessons
are being taken to heart. A recent
order prescribes that at meeting of
volunteers for training there is to be
no more fancy drilling in close order.
Great skill in the manual of arms is
to count for less than good shooting.
The snowy doings of former days
are to be- discarded in favor of practi-
cal training in things that will be
actually done on the march or on the
battlefield. Useless sentry duty is to
be abolished and camp labor and
wearisome parade are to be reduced
to their proper place. England feels
her weakness and is grasping vainly
at the great prestige she has so long
held and now sees slipping away with
the death of Victoria.

HITTING AT rROLLEY LINES.

One of the interesting measures be-
fore the legislature at Springfield is
"a bill for an act to regulate the con-
struction of telegraph, telephone,
electric light, or other wires, over the
tracks CT steam railroads. One
of its provisions is ''all wires
shall clear the tops of the rails at
least twenty-five (25) feet
OF course if this bill passes and
the provision referred to is enforced
no electric railway using an overhead
trolley wire could cross a steam rail-
way track, as no trolley to be in use in
ordinary service could be SO construct
ed as to reach the trolley wire % feet
above the train. The suspicion exists
that the main object of this bill is to
EN- barass suburban electric railways
intended to compete for passenger
and freight traffic with the steam rail
ways, and that this % feet provision
is put in 20 make such construction
impossible when q railroad company
antagonizes it.
1t is true that the bill contains a
provision excepting trolley wires, but
this provision requires that "the
height of such trolley wires above
the top of the rails may be agreed
upon by the managing officers of the
respective companies, and approved
by the railroad and warehouse COM
mission"
1t will be observed that the height
of the trolley wires above the top of
the rails when crossing the tracks of
steam railroads has to be agreed
upon by the managing officers of the
respective companies" But suppos-
ing the managing officers of the steam
railroad companies will agree to no
less height than % feet. The cross
ing of the steam railroad tracks
by the electric railway is then
as effectually barred as if the law
should make the height of the trolley
wire mandatory. 1t will be q very
easy matter for the managing officers
of steam railroad company, when
they see an electric railway is going
to interfere with the business of their
road to refuse to agree to height for
the trolley wire that can be used salts
factorily by the electric railway.
1t is becoming evident that electric
suburban railways are destined to
come into general uss for passenger
and other light traffic unless obstacles
