Troubled by Little Things.

The Quaker spirit, at it's best, is the
spirit of truth, righteousness and all
embracing charity; but sometimes
Quakers, like other people, make too
much of little things, thereby becom-
ing, what they loathe, Journalists. The
Church Standard tells two. anecdotes
illustrating this tendency. In the days
when Friends were accustomed to wear
cooked hats turned up at the sides, one
good Friend bought hat of this de-
scription, without noticing that it was
>looped up with button. He sat one
day in meeting, when he noticed some
looks of curious displeasure. Taking
of his hat, he saw the reason for the
looks, and then rose and said, Friends,
If religion consists in a button, I
wouldn't give button for it, His
sermon was at least understood: A
somewhat similar story is told of an
influential Friend who, on his way to
meeting, was caught In drenching
rain, and borrowed a neighbours coat.
He seated himself opposite to Jacob
Lindley, who was SO much disturbed
by the glittering buttons that "his
meeting did him no good" When the
congregation rose to depart, he felt
constrained to go up to the Friend who
had so much troubled him and inquire
why he had so grievously departed
from the simplicity. enjoined upon
members of their society. The good
man looked down upon his garment,
and quietly replied, II borrowed the
coat because my own:Was wet; and In
deed, Jacob, did not notice what but
tons were on it, Jacob shook his
hand warmly, and said, Thou art a
better Christian than I am. and will
learn of thee Jacob was right. He
had been paying too much attention
to the mint, anise and cummin' Of

SHADOWS on THE COLUMNS.

Superstitious People Study Silhouettes
at the White House.
The shooting of President Mckinley
recalls to superstitious~ minds the
shadows that have appeared in recent
years on the large columns of the
north or main porch of the White
House, says the Washington Star. Dur
ing the winter months these shadows
are more distinct than in other months
and appear near the top of the
columns around the midday hours.
1t is recalled now that last fall
shadow appeared that had never
been seen on the column before. 1t
required no effort of the Imagination
to recognize it as human forearm
and hand, with bent finger upheld in
the attitude of warning. 1t appeared
and disappeared each day for fort
night or more. Some time after this,
when the suns position had changed,
a shadow of nondescript form appeared
on the great pillar at the extreme
northwest corner of the portico. 1t
soon took on definite shape and at /
o'clock in the afternoon represented
the face and shoulders of President
Mckinley in profile. The silhoutte
was so striking as to attract the at
.tention of many people, who remarked
that more correct profile drawing
could hardly be made by an artist. The
likeness was not correct one for
more than a few minutes and then it
changed with the altering position of
the sun, and ten minutes later had as
sumed a remarkably perfect likeness
of the late Queen Victoria, even to an
object on the head resembling a crown.
Sometimes the shadows present the
bent form of an old woman, with one
hand resting on an object resembling
a spinning Wheel

STATE OWNERSHIP.
Next Generation Will Hear Much

Next Generation Will Hear Much Dis
cussion the Subject.
The ownership of the telegraph and
the railways by the government is
likely to be much discussed in the
United States within the next genera
ton, says Charles A. Conant in the
Atlantic. There are many objections
to such control, but the proposition is
capable of candid discussion and does
not in itself so beyond the confines of
legitimate political issue. Railway
corporations held their privileges un-
der the right OF limited ability. This,
makes each of them an artificial crea-
ture of the law. They have obtained
by favor of the state another import
ant privilege, III the right to take land
for their tracks by right of eminent
domain. That the state has the right
to revise these grants of special priv
ileges so as 70 establish closer super
vision over the use and abuse is I'M
questionable, except perhaps in excep-
tional instances: If the proposal that
the government shall acquire the rail-
ways is socialistic or reTo1 FtionarS it
is a form of revolution already
achieved in the most conservative
countries of Europe - Germany,
France; Belgium, Switzerland and Rus
STA. Switzerland has only recently
completed arrangements for the acqui-
sition Of the chief private lines and
their conversion into state railways
The telegraph lines are now controlled
by the government in nearly every Eu-
ropean country, including Great Brit
ain, and the functions of the postof-
flee are steadily encroaching upon the
business of the express companies.

Y My dear sir: not only does zone lion
differ from another, but each is totally
different from all the rest. It is the
same with other animals. Just as no
two men are alike in character, SO no
two lions, no two tigers, or two Polar
bears are alike. When you know an
animals character then you know
how to treat him. For instance, one
lion will do his best work only III
you coax and pet and praise him, and
alta single angry word he will lose his
nerve and skulk away. But the little
firmness and severity that would be
useless in his case would be imperative
with another lion, who would take ad-
vantage of perpetual kindness and
neglect his work. Then, again, there
will be third lion, whose head is
only to be reached through his stom
ach-who will do anything for food, but
nothing for anything else. When you
are training an animal, you will come
TO learn that there is some fault in his
character, something which renders
MIN unreliable. In such a case, if
decide that further time will not be
prontably spent on the animal, Mr..
Hagenbeck sells him to a menagerie.
1t took an entire year to teach them
all to 90 to their proper places on en-
tering the ring. 1t is very important to
place them in certain order. You
will notice that the bears come in and
go out apart from the lions and tigers.
Bears get on we'll together, and so do
lions and tigers, but if lion gets near.
a bear he will probably attack him.
Not so very long ago tiger who raced
out of the ring rather too soon
overlook Polar bear. and bit
his foot SO severely that the poor old
fellow went lame for weeks and could
not do his work.-Interview in London

PERlLS IN SALT LAKE.

Bathers Have Been Clicked to Death
by Accommodations of Salt.
II have never seen the Atlantic or
the Pacific ocean or the gulf of Mex
leo, but have had some experience with
salt water nevertheless" said George
Y. Russell of Park City, Utah. He is
an official of the great silver mine
near Park City, which extends deeper
than any other in the world. Salt lake
is a remarkable sheet of water in
many ways. and bathing in it possesses
features which are unique. 1t is very
invigorating and refreshing, to be sure,
but 1t takes some time to become &C.
customed to the extraordinary buoy
ancy of the water. 1t is quite i'm
possible to sink or drown in the lake,
but many people have been killed by
the water. When there is breeze and
spray is dashed upon bathers, the
water is so densely impregnated with
salt that the liquid portion evapor-
ates very quickly and leaves deposit
of salt on the skin. On several occa-
sions people have. drifted out while
bathing or been wrecked and thrown
overheard and afterward found dead
on top of the water, choked to death
by the accumulation of salt in the
mouths and nostrils. Ordinary salt
water, as I discovered today, is very
different from that in the Salt lake.
I learned that I could enjoy salt water
bathing at Chesapeake beach, and took

pleasant to battle in water that is salt,
but not so salt as in Utah. But the
accommodations for bathers at
