The Crown.

There Is no mention Of crowns before
the eighth century after Christ The
crown really did not become the head
covering of kings until the times Of the
Christian rulers after the might and
power of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the crowning was
done with a helmet. This change in the
method of browning the rulers is typ
zeal of the changes that occurred In
the spirit that animated nations and
races in the selection of their kings
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patri-
archal forms of government, were; Sc
lected almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders in war Thus,
gradually, the chief of the army be-
came the chief Of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings were military
despots. Then, with the prevalence of
Christianity and the overthrow or the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed to rule by divine right!
They, too, were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning,
but the world had progressed far
enough to demand more proof OF au-
thority to rule than mere brute power.

Young Women and Poultry.

"A considerable number Of young wo-
men, according to Il rural observer, are
engaging in the poultry business and
seem. from all accounts, to be- making
success of it. correspondent of
Harper's Weekly tells of being in a
Chicago dry goods store on a Saturday
afternoon not long ago when she saw
one of the sales girls receive her wages
for the week. She was paid 50. hay
ing been in her place from 8 o'clock In
the morning until o'clock in the even
ing every day. 1t was necessary for
her to be well and more or less expen-
sively dressed. to be constantly OH her
feet and to keep her temper and her
self possession. frequently under trying
circumstances. On the other hand,
says the observer, take the case of the
farmer girl. None makes less than 50
per week, and many make S.. They
work only two or three hours a day,
their surroundings are conducive to
good health and cheerfulness. and they
can dress as they feel inclined. The
writer mentions the case of two young
girls who sold last year an average Of
So worth of eggs every week during
the spring and summer. Nor did they
sell all they might have disposed Of,
for they raised over 400 young chickens
besides. From all of which it would
seem that there are worse things than
being country lass.

she wished both when they grew older
to be her children. Il will take the
kiss" she said to herself, land keep It
till it is time to bring them together.
Then 1 will give it back to Molly, ana

A year later, seeing that it would not
be best to wait longer, the mother gave
the kiss to Molly and told her to give

sented. During the year she had re-
ceived by actual count 743 additional
kisses all of which needed to be re-

Travels of n Bu1lseye.

A German scientist says that If a
marksman at noon on a .cloudless,
MINDLESS day sets his rifle so that 1t
will cover the bullseye of target the
gun will in the same position the next
day, if it.also happens to be cloudless
and MINDLESS. shoot high left" 1.-The
bullseye is apparently attracted by the
position of the sun or of any other lu-
minous point" says the scientist, "and
apparently during the day follows the
course of the sun in a semicircular line
on the target"
This seemingly changed position Of
an object under the changing influence
of light cannot, he thinks, be produced
by refraction nor by the changing
temperature of the air nor by chang
ing barometric pressure. The change
of position is instantly responsive to
the sun breaking through cloud. 1t
cannot be akin to mirage, because the
shooter would then have to lower his
gun at noon instead Of elevating 1t as
be now does.

Here is newspaper derivation of
the word canard." A canard means
in French, duck; in English it has
come to mean hoax or fabricated
newspaper story. Its origin is anus
ing. About fifty years ago French
journ alist contributed to the French
press an experiment of which he de-
clared himself to have been the author
Twenty ducks were placed together,
and one of them, having been cut up
into very small pieces, was gluttonous-
ly gobbled up by the other nineteen.
Another bird was then sacrificed for
the remainder, and SO Oil, until one
duck was left, whi;h then contained IN
its inside the other nineteen! This the
journalist ate. The story caught on,
and was copied into all the newspapers
of Europe. And thus the "canard" be-
came immortalized.

One Of the ONLY ssKeIso Plays.


An ancient baseball fan tells this
story to illustrate the quickness and
thickness of Mike Kelly, the one time
king of the green diamond:
"a game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching, and Mike
Kelly was sitting on the bench when a
foul which Bennett could not possibly
get goes up in the air toward the
bench, and Kelly, being captain, yells
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out of, the game, and at the same time
he puts on a mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangling a long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
in play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by player in the
game, so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought Of
Kelly, even if it did not work"

THURSDAY, AUGUST l., 1908
The Immigration Problem.

The great increase Of immigration for
Tie present year and the undesirable
character of many of the newcomers TO
America have awakened suspicion that
the steamship companies are making a
canvass of certain European countries
to augment thcit steerage business.
The treasury department is to make
thorough investigation in order to learn
whether this suspicion is founded on
fact. The records are declared to show
that the character of the immigrants is
steadily declining and that recent legis-
lation and new rulings by the depart
uent to raise the standard have not
been effective.
These facts have brought the immi-
grafton problem once more prominently
before the country, and again it is
shown that there are two sides to the
question. For instance, the Cincinnati
Enquirer takes one extreme view and
says: when man has at infinite toll
and cost established a home, no duty.
no call of charity or humanity, can
compel him to bring within its limits
inmates certain to degrade and destroy
it, His duty is to protect and preserve
his h1ne at all hazards, and the same
thing is true OF our. country. 1t is our
home, and if the American type is to
survive we must protect it from the
incoming of ignorant. decadent peoples
with no interest in our institutions and
no capacity or desire to be truly of ps."
On the other hand. the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat thinks that the coun-
try will have no more difficulty in as
similating the present incomers than It
has had in assimilating others in the
past. 1t declares that there is plenty
of room for them and plenty of oppor-
funity to better their condition.
In measure. concludes the Buffalo
Express, this is doubtless true, but it is
also fact there is great danger in
permitting so many of these strangers
DO take up their homes In the large
cft1es. Il asserts that "this cityward
movement seems to be the tendency in
these days. Instead of going to the
newer sections of the country, where
they can develop with the country.
these people are inclined to flock to the
crowded tenement house quarters Of
the large cities, where the environ
ments are all against the birth and
nurture of the true American spirit.
Their presence there in such large num-
bers augments the evils of the slums
against which we are at present max
ing such a fight and makes that fight
all the harder" e.
In connection with such measures as
may be considered desirable to control
immigration steps should be taken as
tar as possible to turn the tide of in
corners from the large cities to the ru-
raj districts, where there are more room
and opportunity for them and where
they may be more easily assimilated
with the native population.

The Scientific American calculates
that it required 100000 pounds of
paper to manufacture the 100000
copies of nine recently published and
very successful historical novels which
were sold by the publishers. The av-
erage spruce tree yields little less
than half cord of wood, which is
equivalent to 500 pounds of paper. In
other words, these nine novels swept
away 1000 trees. 1Apropos of this an
other writer suggests" that every sue
cessful writer be presented with hun
dred acres of barren, treeless land, and
required to transform it into wood
lot" 50 that the drain on the national
forests which his literary success has
entailed will be made good.
