TO MAKE A LOOP-THE-LOOP

This little apparatus illustrates the
principle of centrifugal force, and
shows why the trick cyclist does not
fall when he reaches the top of his
inverted path. A long strip of card
board is bent into loop and it's ends
are fastened to two supports, one of
which is few inches higher than the
other. Two bottles of different heights
form convenient supports. If spool
shorter than the width of the card
board is placed carefully upon it at
the higher end and let go it will roll
around the loop without falling off and
go on the top of the small bottle. To
prevent the spool running off the
track it is advisable to bend up the
edges of the cardboard or paste a mar

Hawthorne Had Little
Use For Politicians.

correcting some Inaccuracies in a
published statement, George Edwin
Jepson of the Boston Custom House,
writes to the Boston Herald saying:
Hawthorne was not a weigher in
the Boston Custom. House in 1S39-41,
but measurer, the two offices at that
period being essentially distinct Nor
was he turned out of office by the
Wings in 1S41, as you state. and un-
due odium is thereby cast upon that
party. In the Boston Custom House
archives is an official copy of letter
from Collector Bancroft, which noti-
fies the Treasury Department at Wash
ington that Nathaniel Hawthorne re-
signed his position Jan. 1, 1S41. The
Wings did not assume power until the
following March, and consequently
could exert no pressure to force out a
Democratic officeholder before that
date.
Hawthorne, in fact, had never been
contented in official harness from the
first. He felt out of place amid the
associations of official life. When
scarcely year in place he writes thus
in his private journal: L pray that in
one year more may find some way of
escaping from this unblest custom
house. for 1t is very grievous thrall-

He says the notorious (Filipino) Off
Ger, Gen. Llanera, told it to him:
After the terrible fight between
Manila and Caloocan. while we were
yet gathering our scattered forces in
order to man the trenches OF Palo and
Malabon, we gradually got over the
effect and came to look upon the
Americanos lying at Caloocan SO
quietly as not so dangerous, after all.
They were afraid to come out and
fight, so our men went in small par
ties and engaged them at times. One
day a corporal named Leon went
scouting. as he was anxious for pro-
motion. Ill-fortune was his, SO he
caught no Americanos unawares, but
on his way home found a great iron
ball of oblong shape and brought it
into camp at Meycuayan. The cap
tain ordered it taken before El Gen.

He took it outside of the camp, under
a great mango tree, and unscrewed
the point of it-for it was six-inch
shell. Seeing nothing dangerous about
1t he put lighted cigarette in the
hole, and then put his ear down over
1t to hear the result. Well, we did
not recover from the result for some
time. When we did we looked for
Leon and some twenty or thirty other
men: we found them or small niecea

Child Slavery in
Mills of the South.

Boys and girls from the age of six
years and upward are employed. They
usually work from six o'clock in the
morning until seven at night. At noon
saw them squat on the floor and de-
YOUR their food, which consisted
mostly of corn bread and bacon. These
weazened pigmies munched in silence
ad then toppled over in sleep on the
floor in all the abandon of babyhood.
When 1t came time to go to work the
foreman marched through the groups
shaking the sleepers, shouting in
their ears, lifting them to their feet,
and, in few instances, kicking the
delinquents into wakefulness. From
quarter to one until seven o'clock
they worked without respite or rest.
