sition that the constitutional does
not follow the flag was by Hon.
Page Morris of this congressional
district. 1t was then a new propo.

discussion and criticism both favor.
able and adverse.
Senator Davis, then living and
active, gave the argument his I'M
qualified approval, as did scores OF
other men in exalted positions.
On the other hand, Mr.. Morris was
severely excoriated by prominent
men and papers, they declaring
that he was laying down doctrine
wholly repugnant to the genius
American policy, and warranted by
the constitution. Many of his po-
litical friends and adherents be-
heved that he was mistaken even
"nlie recognizing the ability IN
argument and the research which
furnished his premises.
p 1t certainly most be very graft
flying to him to know that the SUI

in a decision handed down on
Tuesday, affirms every position
that he then assumed, and their
conclusions are reached along
identically the same lines of argu.

A Rat with Brains.

While standing in large wood shed,
one end of which he had partitioned
of with narrow Stats as fowlhouse,
Mr.. x. heard a gnawing noise and,
looking about him, saw a large brown
rat darting away from a dog biscuit
lying on the floor of the shed. He de-
cided to remain quiet and watch If
this thief of his dog biscuit would re-
turn. Presently he did, and, slyly
glancing at Mr.. x, as If to say, "Now,
you let me alone, and I'll let you
alone" his ratship began dragging the
biscuit over toward the slat partition,
behind which were the fowls clucking
and scratching. He reached the laths
and tried to drag the biscuit through
them after him. 1t would not pass,
being fat and broad. After some vain
struggles with it, the rat vanished, to
return with another of his acquaint-
ance. The newcomer he stationed in
side the fowfhouse. He himself came
out and seized the biscuit by one cor
ner. He then began fitting it up on
its side, and the adroit friend poked
his head through the Stats and stead
led it with him. In a few seconds
the biscuit, was held between them
'up and down." and between rat No.
rs pushing without and rat No. 2's
pulling from within the barrier the
prize was forced triumphantly through

FOR THE CHILDREN
The March Of Boston boys.

The March OF Boston Boys.
Something happened in the city Of
Boston on Feb. last that reminds US
of the day over 100 years ago when the
boys Of Boston marched to the head
quarters of the British and complained
that their sport on Boston Common
was being interfered with by the Brit
ish soldiers. 1t seems the Boston boys
nowadays are not very much unlike the
Boston boys of 125 years ago.
On the day stated in February last
about 800 Boston bootblacks marched
to the statehouse to appeal to the legis-
lature in favor of law allowing the
boys to shine shoes on Sunday. The
boys assembled at o'clock in the
morning and formed in line, the small
est at the front and the big ones in the
rear. They were all neat and clean,
and their sweaters looked fresh from
the washtub. At the word "Aarch"
the line quickly took step. and with
three ringing cheers they marched up
Boylston street headed by three little
lads hand in hand, each not over or 8
years old. The enthusiasm of the boys
oozed out at every pore. They danced,
cake walked, threw snowballs, showed
one another into drifts, jollied the by
ISLANDERS and cheered all the time. Nine
Of the boys had been chosen to make
the speeches. Their names were Tony
Lepito. Simon Levi, Aaron Kedauski,
Dominica Dinnattes, Antony Scott.
Bernard Sousa, Amos Vixen, David
Michael and Samuel Rosen.
These boys appeared before the COM
mittee and asked that 1t should be law
full for bootblacks to work on the
Lords day until IL q. m. Eighteen OF
the boys were conducted into the Office
Of the governor and were kindly re-
ceived by him. The little fellows made
good pleas. which appealed very strong
~ to the hearts of the committeeman.
One Of the boys said that his father
and mother were both sick and that
he had to support them and that Sum-
day was his best day; that on week
days he earned from 20 to 80 cents and
on Sundays from 60 to 70 cents. An
11-year-old said that he was the eldest
Of six children, and it was necessary
for him to work on Sunday. Another
said that he was chief support Of two
brothers and a sister and that without
his Sunday work they could not live.
Another said that he was the second in
a family of ten and that he was attend
ing night school and that it would be
impossible for him to do so unless he
could shine boots and sell papers on
Sunday morning. which was his best
time.
Certainly it would seem to the aver
age person that If bakeries and drug
stores are allowed to keep open all day
Sunday these little fellows, who en-
dure so much hardship and earn their
money at such a great sacrifice Of
comfort, should be granted their ap-
peal.

Grammar In Rhyme.

We, advise every little grammarian
lst entering on Murray, Brown or any
the thousand grammars in use to
'mmit to memory the following easy
les, and then they never need to mis-.
Ike a part of speech:
Three little words you often see
Are articles, an and the.
noun Is the name Of anything,
A. school or garden, hoop or swing.
Adjectives tell the kind Of noun, e.
As great or small, pretty, white or brown.
Instead Of nouns the pronouns stand
Her head. his face. your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell Of something being done
To read. count, laugh. sing, jump or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell.
As slowly. quickly. i'll or well.
Conjunctions Join the words together.
A men and women, wind and weather.
The proposition stands before
A noun. % In or through Q door.
The interjection shows surprise,
As Oh. how prettyi An. how wisei
The whole are called nine parts Of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking. teach.

PRECIOUS STONES.
The Methods by which They Are
Tested by Experts.

Tested by Experts.
In a lecture on precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association of Berlin. DR.. Emmanuel
Fr.edlaender said that the testing of
diamonds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness suffices. II
the stone resists strong attacks, it is
certain to be genuine; If it does not,
the damage is Insignificant, as only an
imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however. Is doubtful with rubies.
II ruby can be affected by a steel
file or by quartz, it is surely not gen.
uine. but such test with a topaz Is
liable to injure valuable stone.
The test for hardness Is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone Is not
much harder than quartz and in addi-
ton possesses the quality of cracking
easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test is best. A glass mag
nifying about 100 times suffices. Ev-
cry expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects. which are so character
istic that the genuineness Of the stones
Is readily established. Such test is
very necessary with rubies. because
the limitations are very deceiving.
Their color is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that Of the gen.
1ine. although it may be stated that a
somewhat yellowish tint is always sus-
picious.
The only reliable way in which gen.
uine rubies can be told from limitations
Ia by the minute air bubbles Of the lat.
ter, which become clearly visible un-
der the magnifying glass. These are
not to be found In the natural gem.
On the other hand, the limitations lack
certain defects characteristic Of gen.
uine rubies-certain vacuums. whose
outlines are much more indistinct than
those of the air bubbles in limitations.
True emeralds have similar charac-
teristic defects. such as Enclosures of
liquids and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also show peculiar netlike for.
