HEARD IN PASSING

| When constitution is presented for consideration which gives assurance of such absurdities being attempted, which increases the legislative expense over $60000, which makes less than 15 per cent of the people rulers, which nullifies the right of the people to al- ter their government as they see fit, which by the constitution of ISIS is ''indefeasible, , which imposes upon the small state of Connecticut a larger general assembly than the great state of New York needs and which has 10 parallel anywhere except in Vermont, it cannot be treated with respect It ought to be politely but firmly shown the front door, if convenient, if not the back door. It should be rejected. New Haven Register.
 An electric fly trap has been invent ed in Rhode Island. It seems to be q very pretty apparatus. When it is out of order an incandescent lamp burns, but otherwise the current pass es through the wires of fine grill and every fly that lights on the grill is killed like q murderer at Sing Sing. When dead or disabled he drops on another grill below which finishes him if he has any life left. When you have flies enough you shut off the current take out tie lower grill and dispose of your flies as you like. If you forget to shut off the current. you suffer shock which is not fatal, but very dis agreeable. What happens if children get at the trap and make plaything of it is wisely passed in silence by the nventor.-Hartford Times

DON'T sCoLD.

The effect of constant fault finding is to make the young who hear it unami- able, malicious and callous-hearted. It is the same as with other phases of good conduct we wish to teach our children. We must practice them. Do you believe if they never heard unkind words they would ever come to use them? A scolding mother is the de- stroyer of the morals of children. for after repeated tOngue-lashings the chil- dren cease to strive for the good opin- ion of the fault-fnder. since they see they strive in vain, and often learn to take pleasure in doing the very thing for which they have been reproved. and stolidly await the result with the consoling thought that "a scolding don't hurt and a whipping won't last long,"
 Some of the most flagrantly disobedi ent children that I have ever known were reared under the influence of a scolding mother; one who scolded long and loudly for each and every offense, and threatened the most dreadful pun ishment if the offense was repeated. It was invariably repeated, and again string of abusive language was in- dulged i'll, interlarded with more threats.
 Many mother who would not beat a child feels no compunctions to scold freely on all occasions, and on1ookers ill deciding between the beating moth- CT and the scolding one accredit the scolding one with being the model one, while really she is always the most at fault. For in extreme cases whip ping may do a world of good. but a scolding is never of any benefit to a child. It is always result of loss of temper and control of self on the part of the scolder, and though it is not always ruinous, it is always out of place.
 Then, too, the habit of scolding grows on one until it is almost second nature; and as one grows old under and in full control of the scolding habit she does not like wine, improve with age, and if for thirty or forty years woman has been faultfinding and scolding it will not be easy 70 change to agreeable and gracious ways at seventy or eighty, and she will find herself in position where ssher room will always be preferable to her com pany.'
 A cheerful, happy home is the great est safeguard against temptations for t-.e young, and for this reason the dis cordant element of scolding should be kept out. Wherever the home is cheerful it is the abiding place of love: such q home does not give to the world fast sons or frivolous daughters Mrs ". l.. Tabor

numerous pieces of working apparatus by him will certainly remain prominent for long time to come, if not perpetually. For example, the principles of his refiecting galyano- meter, ampere balance, electrometers, siphon recorder, marine compass and deep-sea sounding apparatus would seem to be so general that they would al- ways be useful, in fact, necessary, even though Improvements in construc- tion and operation might be devised in the course of time. And the mere list ing of their names suggests the bread -- of the range of Lord -Aelvins accom- plishments in the domain of applied science"

THE RATTLEsNAKE.
Traits of the Deadliest of the American
 Ophidians.

Ophidians.
 The rattlesnake, probably the most deadly American snake, is really a gentleman, as snakes go. He never eats his own friends, as most other snakes do, and he always plays fair and gives warning before he strikes. In the early pioneer days, west of the Rockies, rattlers were frequently eat en by hardpressed travellers, and their flesh is sand to be as good as chicken. Great skill must be exercised in catch ing this snake, if he is to be eaten, as he has a trick of biting himself when cornered and so committing suicide, and in this case his flesh is as deadly as his bite
 The maligned pig, who is known by those who properly understand him to be really brave and intelligent little beast, regards rattlesnakes as the greatest luxury and attacks and kills them with absolute fearlessness. On a California ranch a certain field was so Overrun with rattlers that it was practically useless. It was fenced i'll, and a pair of young pigs turned in, and in a short time they had gobbled up ' \ known to attack the largest and most deadly snakes and come off victor in the fight
 Apropos of the well known fact that a rattler will bite himself and commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of his enemies, the tale is told by hunters in the far west that little bird, 8 native of the Rockies, is extremely interested in the exter- imitation of the rattler. So far as is known this bird does not feed upon the snake, but is actuated by motives of benevolence in ridding the world of these dangerous reptiles. Seing a rattler asleep or summing himself on stone, this thoughtful and energetic little body flies off and returns with bits of very priclzly cactus, which the bird places in little circle around him. When the circle is quite con- plete the enterprising bird, eager to see the results of it's toll, swoops down and runs his bill into the sleeping snake. which starts to move away, only to encounter the cactus, again. Finding himself unable to escape, he bites him. self and dies by his own deadly weap- on.
 4 rattlesnake never goes out of his way for a fight, but when he is attack ed he fights desperately. A lad who was trout fishing i'll country where rattlers are numerous, stumbled.
 Tn falling he saw to his horror that he was coming down on the cold body of large snake. He heard the rattle, which is the snakes war cry. rr. | 4t. ing to grasp the snake close to the head and hold on like grim death. Like q flash the snakes body coiled round his arm and frightened in an eff fort to make him relax his hold. It moved it's body so vigorously that in spite of holding with both hands he feared it would escape. Fortunately. his companions came to his assistance and cut the snake from his arm before he was quite exhausted with the strug- gle.-Ph Philadelphia Inquirer.

MACK AND THE MAID
Editor of the Butraio Times sued for
 Big Damages by ChamberInaid,

Editor Of the Buffaio Hines Sued for
 Big Damages by Chambermaid.
 Norman E. Mack, editor ana propri-
 etor of the Buffalo Times, and mem
 Der of the democratic national commit
 tee from New York state, is in trouble.
 It all came about through his accus-
 ing maid of touching him for his roll. Mack was in Hot Springs train ing for the New York state guberna- torfal campaign, when one night he went out with the boys. He had been
 to his room to dress for dance to be given in the Arlington one Saturday. evening in honor of visiting editors of the national association. He had a roll of $40 which he removed from his business suit to his evening suit. On. his return the money was missing from his pocket. Investigation re- vealed that Libby Law, a maid, was the only one in the room while he was absent. Mack, excited over his loss, it is said, made allegations against Miss Law The hotel management refused to have her arrested without further evidence. Sunday afternoon the roll was found in the dancing pa- vilion
 The next day Miss Law commenced proceedings in damage suit for S2osO0O. She says she is determined 10 push the suit to termination, and 1t is said Mack really wishes he hadn't accused the maid with the al- literative name of Libby Law. When '.DropJaw'' Blase, the Little Rock hu- morist, heard of the case he remarked, "Why, she's got the law with her" A number of Mack's friends wouldn't believe that the courteous editor would accuse q girl of taking his money even if he were sure of the fact that she ''touched' him. There is a story going around to the effect that Mack spent a number of good green backs while in Hot Springs, but when "Dropjaw'' Blase, the humorist afore- mentioned, who was prominent at the various social affairs of the National Editorial association i'll Little Rock, was consulted, he said he didn't know where Mack spent them. Well, that pretty nearly settles the matter-for if Blase doesn't know, it's up to Mack Tor an explanation.
 Anyhow, the maid has filed the suit against Mack for 5000, and he has got good deal of notoriety through the action. Miss Laws press agent it's quite the thing now for hotel maids to have press agents, you know lis highly elated over the entire af- fair. Mack was more than mortified the night that he lost the roll. It is said he had invited all the boys to have a social glass and after they were all lined llD and had one on M1rk ha put his hand in his pocket and then withdrew it with gasp. His money wasn't there-and. Mack never smiled again until he found his dough- Newspaperdom.

''The part played by Lord Kelvin in connection with the laying of the At lantic cable is undoubtedly his strong est claim to high rank in the history of science and engineering, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. ssNo other feat accomplished by human pow
 CTS appeals more forcibly to the lay man as we'll as to the specialist. Not only were mathematical knowledge and ability of the highest order required to solve the problems involved in this great undertaking; co-ordinated with these faculties the greatest possible de
 gree of common sense and practical faculties were equally necessary. It is ordinarily supposed that these two phases of mind are opposed to each other, the development of one having a tendency to dwarf or diminish the other. In 1ord Kelvin's case the two are combined and each is of the very highest order. It is in this particular respect that he is undoubtedly the greatest man of any time. On the purely scientific side Helmholtz and other names might be mentioned as his equals; number of electrical engineers and inventors, notably Edison, have ac- complished more individually in the way of actual mechanical achievement than he has; but no one else has done so much ill both directions at the same time, and done it so well, as he in ab- stract science, his mathematical inves- tigations in mechanics, heat. electricity and magnetism are classical and will always remain fundamental in the progress of human knowledge.
