Dynamite Ashurst.

The use of dynamite for cam paign purposes is an innovation in political circles of the country It is unique as well as original, and emanated from the brain of the councilman elect of Coconino county, Henry Ashurst. As re- quired by law, MT. Ashurst filed his bill of expenses with the secretary of the territory. The new council mans bill was received by Secre- tary Stoddard a few days ago, and the total amount was something over $20O. In the itemized state ment there appeared something like this: "October-Dynamite, $15." This instance has gained for Mir. Ashurst the nickname of "Dyna- mite Henry."-Tucson Post.
 Henry Ashurst says he won't be president of the territorial council. He got that dynamite for something else.-Phenix Gazette.

Origin of "watered Stock"

The expression "watered stock, 9 which describes so we'll the expan- sion of the stock of a company be- yond the value of the property, originated, it is said, in connection with Daniel Drew, who was at one time the wealthiest and most unique manipulator in Wall Street. Drew had been a drover in his younger days. and it was said of him that before selling his cattle in the market he would first give them large quantities of salt to make them thirsty and then provide them with all the water they could drink. In this way their weight was great ly increased and the purchaser was buying "watered stock"

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
1t Was an Ancient, Self MOvin-;
Shrine of Bacchus.

Few, perhaps, are aware that the
first automobile, considered in the sense
of vehicle containing within itself
powers of locomotion, of which there
is any authentic account was Il self
moving shrine of Bacchus.
This was the invention of Heron of
Alexandria. who describes 1t in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine in question was mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels
On the axle of the driving wheels was
q drum, about which was wound Il
rope which passed upward through
the space on one side of the shrine over
pulleys and was fastened to the ring Of
Il ponderous lead weight. which rested
upon quantity of dry, fine sand. The
escape of this sand through Il small
hole in the middle of the floor of the
compartment containing it allowed the
lead weight gradually TO descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in Ii
straight line.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and proportioning the wheels
in case it was desired that the shrine
move in circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move in straight line at right angles
to each other,
Officials Ct the patent Office overlook
ed the device of Heron when they
granted patents on slot machines, not
withstanding that previously Thomas
Eubank. commissioner of patents in
1850. illustrated and described Heron's
invention. The mechanism of the lat
ter is almost identical with that in the
modern device and simply serves as an
other proof of the saying, There is
nothing new under the sun."-Wash-
ington Times.

HOW 1T is PROPOSED TO REFORM
CONSULAR SERVICE

Should Senator Ledge succeed in re-
organizing the consular service and
putting it on Il permanent life tenure

for patriotic young Americans who are
DESTROYS Of serving their country in
soft places with good pay. But enter
ing the service will be more difficult
than at present. as each applicant must
show proficiency in either French. Ger
man or Spanish.
Senator Lodge proposes to divide our
various consular offices into ten uni
form grades. ranging from consul gen.
eral of the first class. with a salary OF
$4,000 a year to consul of the sixth
class. receiving S1.S00 a year. Appli-
cants must be between the ages of
twenty -one and fifty-tive and must
pass an examination in French. Ger
man or Spanish; also in various COM
mercial subjects. Life positions are to
be made of the consular berths, great
and small. which have been emptied
and refilled since the administration of
Washington at the will of changing ad-
ministrations
Such reorganized establishment
will offer its personnel the delights and
advantages of foreign travel Any one
ripening in the service will have seen
pretty much all of the world. Many
congressman recognize the necessity
for reform. and it now seems to he only
question of time before the necessary
legislation which the state department,
the various chambers of commerce and
boards Of trade are asking for will be
passed. What these patrons of the re-
form want is a consular service where
in man can spend lifetime of use
fulness. storing up experience as poten-
tial energy for Uncle Sans benefit. To.
day man in the service loses his job
as soon as his apprenticeship has been
served.
The present United States consular
service is badly mixed up affair. 1t

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.

A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ter
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply so APPLY to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession. for the life of these,
so far as the public is concerned. is
usually somewhat longer But with the
rank and file-those who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit of endur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as rule, passes
away in so far as the profession is
concerned, and new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping fnan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to size up" the situation
than others. and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve n-although
this Is the exception rather than the
rule-Or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are di-
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file Of the profess
sion is constantly changing, aud the
popular idea once an actor always an
actor Is easily disproved.-Chicago

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.
Curious Letters by n Harvard Man
Who served Indcr Nnshinrto,,

Curious Letters by Harvard Man
Who served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history. rs
valuable in their way as the more ssri
Gus studies, are found in q little collec-
ton of letters from Il Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved in the liar
ward library. They were written 10
relatives and friends in New Hamp
shire by one William Weeks. a Har
ward graduate, who was an officer in
Washington's army.
Inconsistencies must have been severe
at times, though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
TO have had hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. This
Day he writes, Il must be at Genl
Sullivans to take Dinner with him, the
other day | had as great an Honour
conferd upon mel had the Honour
to take a Glass of Wine with Genl
Washington & his Lady-But at the
same time l should count as great an
Honour to have the satisfaction of see
ing. conversing & taking a Glass of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is a curious indication of the
state of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter. where Mr.. Weeks says, IF my
Wages were not higher than expected
when at Home. | would by no means
tarry, but as they are raisd. and for
the Love l have for the Country, can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army"
That the manner of obtaining a Her
ward degree has changed radically in
the last hundred years appears in a
paragraph written at Valley Forge in
ITS. Weeks had taken his A. B. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ "As the cam
paign is coming on" he wrote. Il have
but little expectation Of coming home
for my degree" But it appears that in
consideration of the $40 which his fam
lily forwarded to the college in response
to this request the desired honor was
conferred

VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American Acuteness Due In Part to
the Midday RepHsts.

A great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound n.y.
giene when they denounce the "Quicl
lunch" of the American business world
as the sum OF all gastronomic iniqui-
ties. But in so far as the quick lunch
is a light lunch. ana it usually is this.
it may be a blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness and business energy
of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even il
hurriedly, and drinks but little at the
midday meal: hence his mind is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do
good deal between l o'clock and 6.
AS contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits of certain European countries.
notably Germany, and to that he 1t
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to counteract In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist
who in decrying heavy midday mca!
said that "the plan of eating Il heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner tatla
explains the prevalence of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long AN
ernoon recess Of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit in with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the busy mans bite had better
look Il little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much. as Ger
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but it
looks as if we were slowly approximate
ing. the country over. to an ideal dietet-
ic system, for Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal of the day, whatever. it may be
called. And if the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect in
this direction it is not the unmiXcd evil
some declare it to be.-Philadelphia

The Tyranny of Trivial Things.

The great emotional experiences of
life are belittled by the same insist
ence upon the trivial. Life and love
look into each others eyes, a man and
woman elect each other from all the
world, but the joyful soemnity of
marriage is rutiied by the details of
the wedding. perhaps by family squab-
bles over flowers and gowns and invi-
tations. Or great death comes in at
the door, and the little human soul,
overwhelmed with grief, appalled, by
the sudden opening of eternity before
its eyes, yet fuses there is no other
word for it, over mourning" over the

This may be shocking or mournful or

but it is certainly uncivilized. - Har-
