a Scheme of SOcioiiSfS.


The socialists of Chicago propose to
get incorporated as a buying society.
The idea is that if 5000 or more OF
them combine and do their buying
through a single agency they will be
in a position to secure concessions In
prices that a single individual cannot
procure"
Thus they begin by recognizing eco
nomic principles which will do more to
win converts than any plan based on
mere theory. Their proposed orsani-
Zation Is not to establish a new social
istic order of society, but merely to
take advantage Of existing conditions
and of economic laws operating under
the existing social organization. They
propose simply TO buy at wholesale
prices or producers prices.

compliments of coast defense ships,

pertains to them. The Russian heavy
guns are second to none and the bat
teries of 6-inch and 4.7-inch quick-fir-
ing guns leave nothing to wish for. The
secondary small arm batteries are
likewise perfectly equipped. The Rus
sian warships are, in fact, the most
numerously armed in the world.

Little BO-Poop.
Little Bo-Peep had three white sheep.
They walked along behind her
For fear she would go so far away,
That they would never find her.
The little sheep walked on two feet
And dragged their tails behind them:
But little Bo-Peep walked on ahead,
And never thought to mind them.
Little Bo-Peep took care of the sheep
With crook with ribbon around it,
And wore a big hat upon her head
With a high peak upon it.
The grass was green beneath her feet.
And the sky was blue above her.
The lambs got tired and began to bleat
And lay down in the clover.
Little Bo-Peep went fast asleep
And dreamed the sheep were straying;
But when she awoke, she found it a
joke.
For they were around her playing.

Westminster is to be thrown open to
the public. This is one of the oldest
and most interesting parts of the ABB
hey, the greater part of the fabric be-
longing to the reign of Edward the
Confessor. 1t was used in early Nor
man times as royal treasury, and a
robbery from the chapel in the reign
of Edward I of treasure valued at
f100,0 900 created a great deal of stir.
Later it was used as record chamber
for the treasury, and more recently as
a receptacle for the apparatus neces-
sary for the trial of the Pryx-the
standardizing of the coin of the realm.

he might train Waldmann and Maun-

He had one basket for his black and

black dog looked the best, Prof. Null
Ter thought, on red pillow, and the
red dog on blue one. In these two
baskets they slept fer years When
their master said "blue bed," Maunerl
would go into his; when he said red

They never mistook one for the other

drawing room when Waldmann came in

him If he wanted to go out to nave

years. The name is derived from the
fact that the edges of it's radical leaves
always point north and south, and the
faces are therefore turned east and
west.
Hunters, travellers and horsemen on
the trackless prairies depend in great
part upon his-plant to get their bear
1ngs. Even on dark nights it serves as
a guide. If the lost traveller can feel
the edges of the leaves, he can at once
locate the points of the compass.
Longfellow in his beautiful poem of

Scientists ascribe the action of the
