A business man of Fort Worth, Tex,
has brought suit for $4,000 damages
against the publishers of city direc-
tory. for having described him as col

Edison is very fond Of children. He
delights to show them the wonders of
his workshops and to mystify them
with his magic. To them he is the real
wizard he is so often called.
Acompetentr has reported that
the services of New York lawyer in
case for which the disciple of Black
stone put in bill for $17 900 were actu-
ally worth no more than $500.
Miss Margaret Hawley, eldest daugh-
ter of the Connecticut senator, is an art
student. She won the Corcoran art
school prize last spring and will short
ly, in all probability, go abroad to pur-
sue her studies.
The court of Austria, the most aristo-
cratic and exclusive in Europe, seems
to be slowly giving way to the demo-
cratic movement. The number of mar
riages made by members Of the house
Of Hapsburg outside of royalty is be
coming proverbial, and now another
step has been taken which is viewed
with alarm by the upholders Of the old
ways. A granddaughter Of Franz Josef
has begun his studies in public gram
mar school. This is step unprece
dented in Austria.
DR.. Kann, of Vienna, the latest arc
tic explorer is also the Youngest. He is
only 25 years of age, but two years ago
successfully took his degree in philos-
ophy, physics and mathematics at the
University of Vienna, gaining also the
emperor's much-coveted travelling
scholarship. His first journey was to
America, where he succeeded in OBJ
tanning a tutorship in Cornell uni
gersity, which, however, he relinquished
to join the arctic expedition of Mr.
Stein and Mr. Warmbath.

How many of those who are members

Of the Golden Horseshoe? asks Youths

It was the first order founded in
America, and the story of its origin is
told in. rare book, to be found only in
a few libraries, the "Present State of

Virginia then extended from the At

dangers from savages and wild beasts.
and so full of natural difficulties was
the passage of these terrible heights
that the good chaplain tells us with
awe OF the setting out Of Gov. Spots

guard of soldiers, gentlemen. and

They scaled the pass with great hard
ships and peril. and returned. the gov
ernor having cutupon the rocks on the
highest peak the name Of King George.
He then constituted the society. or

man who had scaled this high pass was
made a member Of it. and TO each one
he presented golden horseshoe. On

Skating is Unsafe .

A number of youngsters were at
tempting TO skate today on the ice
arou.d the edges Of the mill pond.
Parents should be very careful in
permitting their boys to 60 on the
ice as it is unsafe. A few more
days like today, however, ought to
form ice sufficiently thick to make
the exhilarating sport perfectly
safe.

FEMINIST THE TREATY.
Chief Burlington Declares It
Should Be Defeated.

Chief T. M. Burlington is in
Washington looking after the treaty
and other matters and gives out
the following interview printed in
yesterdays Globe Democrat;
"My people are ready and will
ling to do what they can TO facili-
tate the opening up Of the Chero.
kee country. They are willing to
take their allotments and to pre-.
pare themselves for ultimate citi-
zenship- But, in doing this, they
insist that they must not be de-
prived of any of their property or
legal rights.
"The treaty which passed the
house contains two provisions
which are particularly objectiona-
bic to my people. The first and
probably the most Objectionable
portion Of the treaty relates to the
allotment of land in severalty to
the Indians. 1t provides that
each member of family may take
an allotment of eighty acres of
land. We know that we are en-
titled to more than that amount.
The Dawes commission has pro-
gressed sufficiently far in its work
of preparing the Cherokee rolls to
enable them to form a reasonably
accurate idea of the number of
people in the Cherokee nation
who will be entitled to allotments.
The work is practically completed,
with the exception of the Chero-
kee freedmen. When these peo-
pie have been enrolled it will
bring up the aggregate number Of
Cherokee citizens entitled to en-
rollment to about 10000.

Masslng of Population.

The crowded condition of the more
p6pul6us sections of large cities we
have been accustomed to view with
a measure or horror. The density of
population in London. Paris. Berlin
and other cities of the old world is de-
scribed in many voluminous treatises
respecting the problems they present.
But it is becoming apparent that we
are in danger of like conditions in
our American centres. have just
seen a chart showing that In New
York there is an average of nearly 10
persons to dwelling. In Hoboken the
average IL between IL and 13. In Fall
River from II to IL. in Jersey City.
Chicago and Boston between eight and
nine. This chart represents the cen.
sus 10 years ago, and when one takes
into consideration the number of
dwellings in which only two or three
persons live the average is much
larger and more serious. The prob
lem has become almost universal. for
at the same time. thanks to modern
and rapid transit. more
fortunate families are gravitating to
the suburbs. The others. of course,
less fortunate. have to remain in the
crowded and ever crowding sections.

A young girl was crossing the Pub
lie garden the other morning upon the
main path which crossed the bridge
She was accompanied by magnificent
mastiff, who strobe along beside her
in the most companionable sort OF
way, looking up into her face occa-
sionally as If to remark casually that
1t was a very fine morning, or to ask
II there was anything he could do for
her.
The two crossed the bridge to-
gether, and finally came to the
Charles street gate. Here the young
girl, evidently not wishing to have the
care of the dog in the busy streets,
that is far enough now, Marco. You
need not go with me any farther, but
turn about and go back home"
She did not take her hands out of
her muff to point the way, and she
spoke as she would to small brother,
in a pleasantly conversational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large
eyes, then looked across the Common,

were thinking how very pleasant it
would be to go the rest of the way
Finally he turned back to her again
and with a movement of his head and
eyes asked as plainly as though Athe
words had come. from his mouth:
please let me go little further, 1t
is such a fine morning?"

the difficulty, as If Marco were hui

shall not know what to do with you.
But go along now, there's good fell

Without another word Marco turned
and walked back across the gardens.
He did not stink away, as some dogs
do when sent back, but marched
leisurely along with his head in the
air, stopped a moment on the bridge
to watch the children skating below,
then trotted on toward Commonwealth
avenue. The Athenian watched him
until he had disappeared beyond the
gates, then resumed his way, wonder
ing whether Darwin loved dogs or not.

A Novel Spider Collection.


A Belgian teacher of natural history
gives an account of an experiment
made by him to test the abilities Of
children as collectors. The result
was simply astounding. The teacher
asked boy to collect all the different
kinds of spiders that he might see
during his vacation rambles.
The lad, who, evidently, did not
share the absurd fear which most
persons have of these harmless and
useful creatures. accepted the task
with alaerity; and for weeks he
secured the country round about his
home for spiders, going about three
miles in every direction.
He brought back to school more
than a hundred species, of which no
less than ten had never been sup
posed to exist In Belgium, despite the
careful explorations Of Prof. Becker of
Brussels, who is famous as a collect
or of spiders.
The little collection that he made in
so remarkable a manner is a highly
priced addition to The cabinet of the

Deep Sea Press ure.

1t is difficult to realize what the
pressure at the ocean bottom really
means; how enormous it is at three
miles in depth. 1t is greater by sew
eral times than the pressure exerted
by the pistons of the very greatest
steam engines. Scientific men ascer-
tain the temperature of the deep sea
by sending down thermometers in
closed in small, strong thick glass
tubes. Sometimes these tubes sud-
denly collapse to fine powder under
the enormous pressure of several
miles of depth. Indeed one may say
every hollow, man-made thing that
sinks in the deep sea is crushed be-
yond recognition before it reaches the
bottom. The strongest steel ships are
hardly more resisting here than PASTE
board boxes-McClure's Magazine.
