A MANS BLUSHES.
He Will Fly the Red Signal More
Quickly Than "a Woman.

''If there is any one thing that makes
me want to get up and talk right out
in meeting ii is to hear it said of a
man that he bushes like woman"
said the social philosopher to a repre-
sentative of the New York Times.
How women ever gained the repu-
tatiOn of having run up a corner in
bushes is beyond my comprehension.
The report does her grave injustice.
for as matter of factshe not only has
no monopoly in bushes, but does not
make use of the share that properly
belongs to her. There are some wO-
men, of course, who blush if you even
blink an eyelid in their direction. but
as a. general thing men blush much
more readily and more violently than
women.
This is not a random statement that
| am making for the purpose of hear
ing myself talk, but sober deduction
founded on careful observation. For
years | have made it point to study
the sexes in moments OF cmbarrass-
ment, and the statistics | have jotted
down prove that in nine cases out of
ten the average man will fly the red
signal of distress much more quickly
than the average woman. This holds
good in all sorts Of situations.
'Crack a joke at a mans expense
he bushes; ply him with awkward
questions, he bushes; subject him to
some humiliation or let some ludicrous
accident befall him in public, and he
straightway rivals the boiled lobster
in hue. A Woman may redden slightly
under the same circumstances, but her
blush is diluted and perfunctory com
pared with the brilliant, sunlit glow
that suffuses the countenance of man.
Il don't attempt to explain the phe
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and moralists
may do that if they can-but merely
give the facts for what they are worth
in the hope that the next time story
writer has crop of bushes to dispose
of he will ring a few changes on the
old phrase that has done duty for gen
erations and say of the heroine that
she 'blushed like a man."

HOW 1T WIS SETTLED.

The settlement of the coal strike was
due in the main to pressure from the
public. President Roosevelt repre-
sented this pressure
The striking miners were considerate
from the start. They offered early in
the contest to submit to arbitration
The coal barons spurned this offer, as
they did subsequent request from
the President OF the United States to
submit to arbitration.
1t was only when J. Pierpont Nor
gan was summoned to the White House
by the President and informed that
the attitude of the operators was OBJ
noxious to the people, that Morgan ad-
vised the coal barons to surrender to
arbitration.
This is the history of the case, and
1t should not be lost sight OF by the
people.

The RIue of SapphIrex.

Star sapph;res are generally OF
grayish blue tint, and the star is ex-
hibited in it's greatest perfection when
looked at by the light of the sun or
candle The sapphire is found of all
tints and shades of blue, but the color
which approximates to the shade for
merly called ''bleu do roi" is the most
valuable. y really fine sapphire SHOULD
appear blue by artificial light as well
as by day. This stone is found in crys-
tails generally of much larger size than
the ruby. The name sapphire" is
perhaps the only one which runs
through all languages with very slight
altera tion-the Hebrew name sapphr.

FIRE ALARM BOXES.
The System In New York and How 1t
Is Operated.

Greater New York is thickly studded
with lamppost fire alarm boxes. The
directions on each box, which is paint
ed red and is surmounted at night by
red light, are:
Turn handle to right until door
opens; then pull inside hook once and
shut the door" The opening of the
box rings a large bell in the door,
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighborhood, especially the
nearest policeman, that the box has
been opened. The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or, as recently
happened, by raw maidservant who
wanted to mail letter. When the in
side lever is pulled down and let go, it
sets in motion certain clockwork that
ticks out the number of the box three
times in succession at headquarters in
Sixty seventh street. Not only that,
but it makes record upon a tape,
showing the number of the box and the
exact second at which the lever was
pulled.
A clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from drawer
q certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses of the
district in which that firebox is situat-
ed. The average time required to Sc
lect this disk and send out the alarm is
ten seconds. There are always two
clerks and sometimes three in this de-
partment. Not a word is spoken. An
outsider would hardly know that an
alarm is going out. In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

Judge Birdsall, we take it, has reached
the years of understanding. Conse-
quently he should know that all the
laborer gets comes to him from the
strength of his own organization, and
not the organization Of the capitalists.
The Republicans, from Birdsall in
Iowa to Morrison in Arizona, should
climb down from their high pedestal
and tell the plain truth about things.
The trusts are not only supplying the
home market, but going into practic-
ally every market in the world. They

ingman more, because while it would
not reduce his wages, which are always
kept at the minimum, what he earns

purchase with his wages.
The Republican orators should make
an effort to be candid and tell the
truth.

REPUBLICAN, EVASION.

Republicans are becoming amusing
in their quibbles over the trusts and
the tariff. One of the chiefs Of these
mirth-provokers Is Judge Birdsall, Of
Iowa, who was nominated to take
Henderson's place when the latter re-
signed. Birdsall is sorry that he can
not indorsa both Governor Cummins
and Speaker Henderson. He assures
the governor that he stands on the
shelter" plank of the Iowa platform.
At the same time he takes occasion to
say that while the tariff should be
cut II necessary to curb trusts, there
must always be protection for khe

ing the character.
Samuel Ebcrly Gross is Chicago

Of plays. As long ago rs 1878 he put
into manuscript play entitled "The
Merchant PriI ce of Cornville," the
leading character of which was distin-
guished by the big nose which made
Cyrano famous.
When Rostand's play, "Cyrano de
Bergerac." appeared in 1897, or soon
afterward. Mr.. Gross began to hear
from many of the men to whom he had
given copies Of "The Merchant Prince
of COrnville" regarding the remarkable
likeness of certain parts of his work
and that Of the Frenchman, Personal
Investigation convinced Mr.. Gross that
his plot had been taken, and immediate
recourse was had to the courts. The
result has been the legal decision in his
favor.
