IN WASHINGTON,s TINE.

When Washington was running things
| wonder if the people talked
OF corporations, trusts, and rings
And vowed that threatened ruin stalked
Tho land of freedom sea to sea.
Did politicians pull the strings
As now they do, with fiendish glee,
When Washington was running things?
Did panics then in stocks exist.
Where men suppcd failures bitter lees
Did senators then shake a fist
And fight DER shipping subsidies?
Could votes be bought in blocks OF I'VE
AID bring no more than now one brings?
Did men corrupt in Office thrive
When Washington VAS running things?
We might to suit the needs Of rhyme,
Say No. but 'twOuld be far from true;
Though we'll admit the change Of time
Has changed old modes and methods too
But. men so love to raise a row,
It's safe to say the chickering's
And walls as many We're rs now,
When Washington was running things.

OUR DESCENT FROM MONKEYS.
Signs OF 1t Shown BY Babies Monkey
Tricksn

The baby has the power to move its toes
Observation-Disclosures wriggling OF the toes
so often commented upon by mothers.
This form of movement Is heritage from
those ancestors, who, like modern mon
keys, would have used the fingers of their
hind feet as we do the fingers or our
hands, says Pearsons Magazine for April.
SO in any Geological Gardens monkeys
may be seen hanging on to bar above
by their hands and using II hind foot
(hand) to pick up things from the ground.
A frequent action with babies is to turn
the soles of tho feet Sideways, opposite
to one another. while the legs remain
straight. Just this attitude would be as
sumcd by monkey when climbing tree
or walking upon "A branch in order to
grasp the stem with It's hind hands.
The inherited effects of thus grasping
tree trunks or limbs with the hind hands
arc often very marked in young babies
The bow legs, which are feature of in
fancy, and a matter of some anxiety to
mothers. are no more than the relics of
the tree-climbng stage And the mother
need not be frightened about this charac-
ter-any normally healthy baby will grow
out of it soon enough.
Then If a young baby be held so that its
feet touch the ground one may sec that
the feet are not put fiat to the surface; in
stead. the outer portions of the feet rest
on the ground; while the soles of the feet
are more or less opposed to one another
they have the Dough grasping attitude.
1t has been noticed above that monkeys
use their hind paws like hands: their front
laws they employ as implements by which
to suspend their bodies from trees For
such purpose the thumb is not necessary
all that is required Is a kind Of grasping
hook. which the fingers make efficiently
by themselves The monkeys which do
most trce-cllmbng have quite lost their
thumbs; their front hands are, In fact
merely grasping hooks.
DiSuse Of the thumb may be observed In
other monkeys when they are grasping
bars; and it is noticeable in babies when
holding sticks, or grasping llowcrpot.
An adult taking hold of a ficwerpot would
put the thumb inside and make lever
of 1t. But the baby does no. act like an
adult; II docs not put ont its hand to take
the fiowerpot as an adult would do. In
stead 1t dabs at the rim Of the towerpot
with the palm of its hand downwards just
in the manner that a monkey dabs at a
branch.
The manner in which babies hold their
hands in a claspng attitude Is a result OF
the ance stral bough-grasping habits. This
attitude may be seen In monkeys gener-
ally; and in those species which lead the
most arboreal life, it has become a per-
manent feature. because of the difficulty
of Strengthening the fingers after eXertion.

The ice has turned to slush.

To patter through the trees.

VERMONT'S GOLD INTERESTS
A Find that Yields $50 to the Ton Dis

ey-Dehehos TOT Linos'
What Vermonts mining resources are
attracting outside attention is evidenced
from the following from the Boston Globe:
Rough pasture land in the upper Deer
field valley has taken a. sudden rise in
value during the past two weeks. Barren
farms on the rugged hills between Reads
boro and Wilmington have been leased for
mining privileges, and an astute prospcc-
tor travelling as an agent for encyclopcd-
las has examined every available pasture
and obtained the mining rights with q
view to future operations This IL because
gold has been discovered in the valley.
The Ncwtons of IIolyoke. who have al
ready 81. 500 600 invested In the Deerfiold
valley in Il pulp mill. saw mills. chair fac
tories. and who own the lioosac Tunnel
and Wilmington railroad, a narrow gauge
line that winds its way along the Deer
field river for a miles north of the east
portal of the tunnel, have been ut work for
five days producing gold from the ledge
bordering on the railroad.

Slowly, but surely. the towns Of Reads
boro and Wilmington have been working
up a gold fever. and since the Newtons
have exhibited the product of their cx-
detrimental mill every one who owns a
rough hill farm is convinced that he has

The greetings and the partings Dlent;
But flight of time moved Cynthia not.

As frest as if she'd just begun.
Her tea grew cold that once was hot,
But still she sot.
Dear Mabel listened, even smiled,
Although her anguished heart was

Heaven will forgive her what she
thought
AS Cynthia sot
And, though my face was full of cheer,
felt within grewsome fear:
She may be rooted TO the spot,
She is so sot.'

And what we answered them. heaven
