Zuius of the Railroads.

'Do you know what Zulu Is" said
an old railroad man. The travelling man
who was waiting for his train smiled
In way that was meant to Indicate
he knew all the species Of Zulus thai
ever existed, and told the railroad man
about the Africans, called Zulus, who
maintained that continents reputation
for lighting before the Beers stepped
In.
Little was doing in the railroad
mans line just then. so he listened.
"Well, they may be Zulus all rigid
not the sort OF Zulus that travel on
railroads. There is the kind that runs
into these yards" aud he pointed down
the track, where box car stood.
A stone pipe protruded through a
hole In the door. The pipe was at an
angle of about 30 degrees. A cloud
of smoke was coming from It.. -Four
blooded horses and n man were the oc-
cupants of that. The man was the
Zulu. Taking care of valuable stock

was his business. lie was a type. OF a
class that railroad men on every line

Now not a mustang can be found In

infrequent Jack breaks in on the mo

100000 mustangs were scattered over

Arizona. As the bicycle grew in favor

grew smaller, and the mustangs finish

price of hlgh-grade Eastern horses put
the cayuse out Of service, and his only
haven of refuge was among the In

and tanned him, and to-day on the res

Encke's little comet, named after the
French astronomer who first discovered
Its periodicity. Is now on one Of its

the earths gaze. No other known COM

In consequence, none other has a re-

comets are domesticated. SO to speak,

People so frequently blame a doctor
for failing to perform impossibilities
that at the recent meeting OF the Brit
ish Medical Association a distinguished
physician undertook to state the case
fairly, and show that some OF the bur
den of failure ought to rest upon the
patients. AS human beings have be-
come more sensitive to pain, he said,
they have got into the habit of requir-
ing treatment that produces immediate
results. Thence arise two evils-dan-
gerous experiments with drugs and
needless recourse to surgery. The aver
age invalid, said this medical man,
wants to know at once what Is the mat
ter with him. The doctor cannot al
ways tell, and would like to await de-
yelopments. But the patient insists on
being dosed, and as often as not de
mands that an operation" be per-
formed. Ii he were content to go to
bed and keep still, his ailment might
cure itself; yet II the doctor suggests
this, the patient concludes that moth
ing IL being done" for him. and he hast
ems to call another doctor. Two things
the public needs to realize: That the
best physicians do not travel with
knives In their hands-since they know
that surgery has Its pains and perils,
as we'll as Its successes-and that they
are increasingly averse to dealing out
drugs The great men OF the profess
sion win half their victories with pure
air. cleanliness, proper diet, and insist
ence on exercise for well people and
rest for sick ones. Less famous physi-
clans would be glad to follow their ex-
ample II men and women would possess
their souls In patience and forego the
desire to turn their stomachs into
apothecary shops. Give the doctor-and
nature-a chance.

Complimenting the General.

When General Moreau was in Eng
land he was once the victim of a rath-
er droll misunderstanding. lie was
present at a concert where piece was
sung by the choir with the refrain:
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Having a very imperfect knowledge
of English he fancied 1t to be cantata
given in his honor. and thought he dis
tinguished the words:
ITO Moreau. to Moreau."
Each time the refrain was repeated
he rose to his feet and gracefully bowed
on all sides, to the great establishment
of the audience, who did not know what
TO make Of it.-London Tit-Bits.

the wealthy Miss Seiden seemed so fond
OF her.
Soon after Mary went to Mount Hol-
yoke she had received letter from Billy,
In which be expressed bis pleasure that
she was at scho but added that the
fact of her being there interfered great

vented me from doing anything until now,

be defeated in another plan which was
formed in boyhood, and which has become
the great object OF my lie
Mary felt perplexed and troubled.
Billy's letters of late had been more like
those Of a lover than a brother, and she
could not help guessing the nature OF
'the plan formed In boyhood." She knew
she should never love him except with
sisters love, and though she could not
tell him so her next letter lacked the tone
Of affection with which she was accus-
toned to write, and was on the whole
rather formal affair. Billy, who readily
perceived the change, attributed II to the
right cause. and from that time his let
tiers became far less cheerful than usual.
Mary usually cried over them. wishing
more than once that Billy would trans
fer his affection from herself TO Jenny,
and It was for this reason, perhaps, that
without stopping to consider the propri'
ETY. of the matter, she first asked Jenny
to write to him, and then encouraged her
in answering his notes, which became
gradually longer and longer, until at last
his letters were addressed TO Jenny, while

A low birth rate. provided 1t does not

the opinion Of the Des Moines News.
Take France for instance. The census
shows that In thirty years the popula-
ton has increased from thirty-fve
millions to thirty-eIght millions, an In
crease Of only about 8 per cent. Dur
ing the same time the population OF
Great Britain has increased about 90
per cent. Germany, Austria. Russia
and italy have gained even more than
that. 1t is said that the low birth rate
In France is a misfortune in that 1t
makes difficult recruiting for its army.
Germany's increase makes 1t possible
for that country to maintain the larg-
est army In the world. On the other
hand the low birth rate In France

Great Inventions Are Suggested by
Commonplace Incidents.
Incidents of trifiing character have
Influenced the career of many success
full inventors. Z. J. Manville was a
hard Working machinist, living In Wa
terbury, Conn. when one day he heard
a woman complaining because she had
pricked her finger with a pin. A pin
that would not prick fingers, he
thought. would have ready sale. A
week later he had worked out the safe
ty pin and within five years his inven-
ton had made him rich. Carlos French,
another Connecticut mechanic, In the
course of railway journey noticed the
Earring and jolting of the car and fell
to thinking how they could be over
come. The problem kept him awake
nights for some two years, but In the
end he solved II SO successfully that
his car spring is now used on all the
railroads of the land. George westing-
house was led In a somewhat similar
manner to invent the air brake. He was
the son Of a manufacturer and possess
cd a marked mechanical bent Once he
was in a railroad collision. the result of
a brakes failure to do its work He
Immediately started to devise brake
that would operate more quickly and
with greater certainty than the ones
then in use, and. like Carlos French, he
was completely successful In his eff
forts. His air brake brought him great
wealth. and for thirty years he has
constantly added to his fortune by In
venting new devices of his own and
buying those Of other inventors. The
result In nfe-saving has been simply
enormous.

In Earlier Times IL Was One of the Most
Common Pests of the West.
Twenty years ago, or even ten or five
years since, the mustang and the jack
rabbit were two of the commonest
pests Of the West On every plain and

green food found a livelihood. beneath
the shelter Of a dusty sage-brush or a
thorned mesquite, the little, hardy,
shaggy cayuse and the long cared, alert
and rapid jaek-rabbit browsed In peace
and quietude. A rider across the arid
wilds of the great Southwest could
count. II he desired. hundreds and
thousands of the wiry-wild horses, and
from every bush jack hurried away

to the Pythagorean numbers man is a

use Of nine as a mystical number and
also as an exhaustive plural. and conse-
