A PLEA FOR Ii BIRDS.

PLEA FOR THE BIRDS
God save the birds, Five million thTo7ts.
Alas. yearly stileds
Five million homes made tenantess,
Once with the young birds filled
Five million precious choristers
OF Gods own temple slain.
A world made tuneless since but they
Know aught OF Heavens refrain
Refrain so sweet that oft II seems
A fair angelic choir
Whose myriad chanters wake the Dawn
With swelling voice and lyre-
The purng brook. the sylvan glade.
The forest dim and old.
Within their tuneful heart OF hearts
our little sOngsters hold
q. human mother. in whose breast
Loves message has been heard
Know that the same sweet message comes
To every mother bird.
Then raise your standard nohly. with
A purpose. true. intense
Against the cruel slaughter Of
These helpless innocents.

NONSENSE OF THUMB MARKS.
No Truth in the Notion They Never
Change Throughout Life.

New Orleans Times-Democrat
"A tremendous amount Of nonsense has
been written about thumb marks, sad
a New Orleans physician, who las a Tx
ing for the bypathS of science. 1t is
claimed you know. that the curious skin
CONFORMATION on the ball Of the thumb
Is never the same in any two people
and that 1t never changes from birth to
death. The first statement is, of course,
cor ect, as no human being in the world
is exactly like any of his fellows, and
the same thing can be said of the lines
on the palm the creases on the bottom
Of the fest and the skin configCration Of
the toes. But the assertion that the
thumb marks never change throughout
life and would serve as a means Of
identification from the cradle to the grave
Is. to say the least, a decided exaggera-
uion- l have given the subject careful
investigation, and have shown by num-
Der Of experiments that the cOnfgura-
ton is liable to such changes as render
1t entirely unrecogntzable when COM
pared with a print of the original mark
ings. The alterations may come from
variety of causes-anything in fact. that
will destroy the outer layer of skin.
i took an India-ink impression of my
own thumbs several years ago, and not
long afterwards / blistered both Of them
pretty severely while rowing on the
lake. AS usual the outer skin peeled
on, and 1t occurred to me one day to
take new impression and see whether
the fresh surface was an exact facsimile
OF the old. I was astonished at the vari-
the immutability Of the mark were
knocked higher than kite. 1t Is true
the changes were more in the nature OF
a distortion of the former patterns than
a complete Encouragement of the lines
but they were so pronounced that any
value the mark might have had for
identification purposes was entirely lost
That excited my interest and per
suaded few of my friends to loan me
their thumbs for experiments I first
took Indta-ink Impressions and then re-
moved the top skin with a solution of
arntca. The skin layer that came Off
was mere film NOT nearly as thick az
IN my ease-yet in every instance there
were distinct and unmistakable aitera-
tons In the lines. One mans second
print was so changed you would never
IN the world have identified It with the
hrst. Another modifying cause is the
tendency of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases. as one grows old

other working people who use tools. and

SURPRISING FREE SPEECH.

SO far as the facts are known OF the
fatal street riots prevailing in Detroit the
police authorities of that city deserve the
utmost public condemnation They acted
in violation of individual rights and set
themselves to the savage task of destroy
to physical force.
The street orator whose utterances ap-
peared to the Detroit police to offer war
rant for trampling citizens beneath Their
horses hoofs may have been a mere
ignorant mischief maker If his utter
ances threatened the public peace it was
the duty of the police to remove him.
This they did not do; but they undertook
by brute force to prevent the people who
desired to hear him from doing so.
The mayor of Detroit found it neces-
sary to repudiate the action of his police
force in his efforts to stay the tide of
popular indignation. He should follow
up his declaration in this regard by dr. "
ing from office and furnishing as severe
~ DIS lhe Ctliillildl courts VIII enaOte him
to do, every adm nistrative official of the
department who had act or part in the
shameful occurrence.
There is no surer way in which to pro-
mote the general acceptance of any given
doctrine than to seek its suppression
through such agencies as were adopted
by the Detroit police department. Free
speech is the great popular safety valve
! in adj free communities Nothing short
Of Indictment to disorder on the part OF
any public speaker can justify the slight
est interference with him or his audience
by public authority. According to the
reports in this case, the object of the
! attacks of the speaker were those who
avoid the payment of their just share
OF the public taxes. II this is the fact
the meeting thus abruptly and Illegally
broken up by the police should be entl-
tied to the public susta,rment; and those
who are responsible for breaking it VI
are, without reference to the bloody con-
sequences of their foolish and unwarrant.

punishment

tain the secret of the general adjustment
in the future Of industrial differences.
The carpenters of St. Paul are enti led
to the credit Of being the pioneers in the
adoption of a plan which, the G Q
predicts, will be in operation among the
various mechanical crafts throughout tho
United States before another year has
expired
Public sentiment is happily developing
rapidly in the direction of the recognition
OF the rights of the public, as well as Of
the immediate parties to str kes and
lock-outs. 1t has fastened itself on the
principle of Cancellation and arbitration
as the means Of peaceful adjustment
which can and must be adopted. Tho
National Civic Federation is doing the
work in the broader fie d of national in
dustry which the carpenters of ST. Paul
have in their quiet way accomplished for
their own immediate uses. The man or
the body which will try to obstruct the
progress which this idea represents will
find but little Of federation from the en-
lightened public opinion Of the country.
