The Turk and Life Insurance.

One man was complaining that he had insured twenty years before in mutual benefit company which prom ised all sorts of things. and now the time was up he received less than he would have done if he had invested his money elsewhere. A wise Turk who was sitting close by said it reminded him of camel belonging to friend of h.s. It was n most intelligent brute, and the owner was convinced that if he found really good teacher 1t could be taught to talk. Presently Hodga appeared who said he was of the same opinion and would teach 1t, but it would take long time, probably thirty years. The owner was delighted and agreed to pay the Hodga q fixed sum per annum and big bonus when the animal talked, the Hodga promising to pay heavy fine if it did not. A friend pfterward went to the Hodga and said: "What on earth induced you to make that agreement? You know you can never teach the camel to talk" "Oh," said the Hodga, "I know that, but dur ing the thirty years either shall die or the owner will or the camel. Anyhow, l am all right, us have my fixed income."-New York Commercial Advertiser.

odd Wedding Customs.

In Switzerland the bride on her wed ding day will permit no one, not even her parents, to kiss her upon the lips. In many of the provinces the cook pours hot water over the threshold aft CT the bridal couple have gone in order to keep it warm for another bride. A favorite wedding day in Scotland is Dec. 31. so that the young couple can leave their old life with the old year and begin their married life with the new one, surely pretty idea. The Italians permit no wedding gifts that are sharp or pointed, from which prac- tice emanates our superstition that the gift of a knife sewers friendship. One of the most beautiful of all marriage customs is that of the bride immedi- ately after the ceremony flinging her bouquet among her maiden friends. She who catches 1t is supposed to be the next bride.

Word BIin q n ess.

Some curious instances of the physic- al defects of word blindness" are giv- ell in the Lancet. The disease is for tunately uncommon. In one case the sufferer, an Englisman, thirty-four years of age. who knew Greek. Latin and French we'll suddenly lost all knowledge of English. though he could read and understand Creek perfectly and Latin and French in rather smaller degree. Another and almost more curious case was that of n man who lost the power of reading at sight This patient was able to write accu- rately from dictation. but was con- pletely unable to read what he had written. Word blindness is apparently akin to color blindness, but is certainly attended by much more inconvenient consequences.

Evils Of the Trust System.

1t is not to be denied that the
avowed attitude of the trusts may
too possibly be found to put the in
dividual and his rights in a posi-
ton Of peril for which no warrant
can be found in the National Con-
stitution, and much less in natural
justice. The logical outcome of
the trust system would be the con-
troll of, at least, all the leading
staples of the country by a small
minority of monopolies, claiming
the profits Of our industries in
perpetuity and SO holding a large
proportion of the people in virtual
serfdom. 1t Is impossible to deny
that, whether intended or not, this
is the actual logical significance OF
the theory, it not of the settled
purpose, of the trust movement.
Law has meyer contemplated the
possibility of such an organiza,
ton of monopoly arising, and
henue statues and probably Con
stitutlon all amendments must be
provided to meet the emergency
Such creation of statutory re-
straints must be the object of the
impending conflict. Can there be
much doubt about the solution OF
this struggle when its significance
comes to be we'll understood by
immense majority threatened by
such abuse of industrial power:
In a great Nation of free citizens
the result must be so inevitable
that the end is clearly apparent
from the beginning; and it, there
fore, would be only a reckless in
vitation of public disquiet to de.
fend the granting of. dangerous
powers to monopolistic corpora.

A Wholesale SANDER.

The Detroit Free Press, which
was once both a prominent and
reputable newspaper, has emerged
from it's ~latter-day obscurity by
reason Of its sneers at the perse-
cuted Jews of Roumania and its
libels upon the south in the same
connection. In a recent editorial
The Free Press attacked Secretary
Hay for his appeal to the powers
of Europe to protect the Roumanie
Jews, as they agreed to do under
the Berlin treaty.
The Free Press sneered at the
alleged outrages upon these un-
fortunate victims of Roumanian
cruelty in this fashion:
"To be sure, the lot of the
Roumania Jew is not a happy one,
yet they do not burn him at stake
if he is remotely suspected of hav.
ing committed a crime against
society. He has few political
privileges, but they do not assasi.
nate him when he undertakes to
exercise those few. He has q
melancholy social standing, but
they do not compel him to ride in
Jim Grow cars they do not refuse
to serve him in hotels and restau.
rants, and they do not lynch him
if he grows insistent and under
takes to assert his lawful priv.
lodges"
The Detroit Free Press pretends
to be a Democratic paper, but we
have never seen from the most
reckless bloody shirt journal 8
viler SANDER of the southern
people than is embodied in the
positive terms and palpable init
nations of the editorial from
which we have quoted. There il
not a professional Republican cam
paign liar, now in service, or gone

friend of the south has em'Dodiet
