WHY MANY Young Men Fall.

It is the fault and the cause Of the
failure of so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into GER
tain work-day rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out of 1t; they
donot seek the work that is not routine
and 20 beyond the terms of the bond
in search of additional labor in order
to attract the approving notice of their
employers. They do not go to their
posts before nor remain at them after
the fixed hour. They are content to dc
enough, and no more than enough, tc
earn their hire. The life of the average
clerk is generally genteel, easy, clean
ly; he need not soil his hands nor his
clothes, and his ambition is satisfied
with these pleasant conditions.-Phil

FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
Nero showed His Friendship for La
Dor by Making Torches OF
NOnunion Men,

A Harvard man has recently been
writing a thesis on labor strikes III
general, and in the course Of his inves-
leations ran across what he regards
as The first strike recorded in history
This appears to have been in the reign
Of Numa Pompilius in Rome, 3l2 b. C.,
when a company of flute players re-
fused to play at a banquet until their
wages were raised.
This Harvard man also says:
There is a rather full labor record
in Roman history, most Of the qnes-
tons arising to-day having been lived
through then. Among the interesting
suggestions arising out of these re-
searches is one that appears fairly well
established that Nero was a friend of
labor. His long and relatively peaceful
reign may be accredited from one
point of view to this fact.
The Christians, who were treated
rather summarily, were not used as
torches because they were Christians.
but because they were nonunon men.
1t will be recalled by those who read up
these things that there was no public
condemnation of the Christian perse-
BUTTONS. The people generally were
satisfied to see them burn, and those
inclined to criticise were etfectually
muzzled, very much as public agencies
of expression in the coal regions are
to-day.
"In contrast to this was the reign
of Trojan, whose stormy reign may
be accredited from the same point Of
view to his antagonism to labor, the
local instructions recorded in his
time being strikes and the successive
historical incidents fulfilling very well
the sequence so familiar nowadays.
viz: strike. importation of new help.
trouble, shutting up shop all around,
general emigration somewhere else,
revival of business at the old stand,
where there is not for long time
renewal of trouble"

UnmuSIcnI WoIVeH

An incident just reported from
Sivas, Turkey, seems to prove that the
feeling which music awakens in
wolves is fright. Two musicians-a
drummer and a piper-returning to
their village from a wedding party
were oyertaken by snowstorm and
sought refuge in deserted mill. They
lit a fire with some wood they found
in the place and were warming them
selves when they saw wolf emerge
from a dark corner Of the building.
They jumped up on a shelf and, to their
dismay, saw several more wolves join
the first. The animals rushed in their
direction, and the drummer, at loss
for a mode of defense, set to beating
his drum, whereupOn his companion in
stinctively played his pipe. The effect
was marvellous, The music so terri
fed the wolves that they attempted
to run away, and, as the door was
closed, they began fighting and several
of them were torn to pieces, the sur
viyors eventually escaping through a
hole in the wall This incident is
vouched for by the government Ga
zette of Sivas.-LOndon Mail

STILL HAD HIS NERVE.
Railway Engineer VINO Had Seen
Many Years of Service Got
TIred of the StrnIn.

The engineer had been many years
in the service of the road, and it is a
well-known fact in railroad circles that
in time the majority of engineers lose
their nerve. They become too eau
tious, and as a result they get their
trains in late, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
This engineer--and this is a true
story-had lost his nerve. He had a
passenger engine and twice he had
been told that if he could not bring
his train in on time he would have to
begin hauling freight. That is pref
ty hard threat to throw to an engineer,
and he meekly promised to do better.
On the occasion of the third warning
he asserted that he would bring the
train in on time, "even if there was
a brick house on the track and barn
in addition"
He came into the office after his
"run" a day or so later glanced about
the room, looked up at the ceiling and
then asked
"See any of it?"
"Of what?" asked an official.
Coal" said the engineer.
Coal" repeated the official. "Why
should we expect to see any coal here"
80, guess it hasn't come down yet y
answered the engineer, carelessly.
"What do you mean?" demanded the
official
Some one left a loaded car on the
main track" explained the engineer
switch turned too soon or coupling
broke, guess Anyway, it was there
And you"
80, got in on time. I'm not like a
man who has lost his nerve-not by a
good deal"
"But the car! How did you get
around"
81 didn't get around. I pulled heI
wide open and came through. There's
about half a ton of that coal on the tor
of the rear coach. and was expecting
TO find the rest of it here. The last
saw Of it was high and scattering"

SONG BIRDS RETURNING.
Slowly Regadning AScendaucy over
the English Sparrow In
Large Cities

According 10 experts in the Smith
sonian institution and watchmen in the
public parks, says the New York Post
the song birds are beginning to regain
the ascendancy once lost to the ubiquit-
Gus sparrow.
Tt is asserted by those who have
studied the question that this section
of the country in particular is slowly
but surely getting rid Of the English
sparrow and the advent Of the wal bier
the thrush. bluebird and other native
members of the feathered tribe has
been hailed with delight. In allth big
marks and reserva tons Of the city even
the observer may note the frequency
with which the robin is seen, while
other birds, woodpeckers, redbirds and
many more, which for years could not
be found except in the inaccessible
woods, are now, apparently, forsaklng
the country for Uncle Sans enormous
expanse of fertile and cultivated acres
of public domain in the heart of the
capital.
"Tha signs are very promising at
present" said a student of bird life
"for the return to Washington and, in
fact. other of the large cities in the
east of many of the native American
song birds once driven out and to all
appearances exterminated by the fight
ing, quarrelsome English sparrow
Among those who have taken an inter
est in the matter 1t has been observed
for some time that the sparrow is nc
longer king of the walk and that the
other birds have either regained their
courage and determined to fight to the
bitter end or the sparrow has lost
great deal of his belligerent spirit"

UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA.
Quaint Customs of the Ancient school,
Past Prestige and Royal
Patronage.

The most typical and interesting,
as well as the oldest, of the Spanish
universities, according to the London
Lancet, is that of Salamanca, which
was founded in Valencia in 1909 and
transferred to Salamanca in 1910. The
university played an important part
in the history of Spain, for from It
came almost all the distinguished
Spaniards of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, though probably
Don Quixote's Bachelor of Salaman-
ca" is the member of this university
best known in England. 1t was to
Salamanca that Gil Bias was going
when he began his travels. The uni
versity was a most distinguished cor
poration and its representatives, with
the other grandees, Swore fealty to
the king of Spain at their accession;
ii received solemn visits from royal
personages, as did our English uni
versities under the Tudors and Stu
arts, and like Oxford and Cambridge
also, it advanced money 10 the kings
which was not always paid. In ITO
the University Of Salamanca gave to
King Philip ", $4,000 reals and 100
men whom the king equipped for war
and maintained, as English mobiles did
in feudal times.
In its most fourishing time Sala-
manca numbered 10000 students, but
now there are not 500. Salamanca IT.
self is quaint and interesting typ
ical old-world Spanish city, with a
large square containing shops under
a colonnade decorated with placques
of the heads of the kings of Spain and
other distinguished persons, the latest
of whom has been dead 200 years. The
streets are narrow, the houses arc tall
and have curiously wrought iron graf
ings to the windows which arc far above
the heads of the foot passengers, and
there are many converts and churches
and very beautiful payements. In the
main square, where is now a garden,
there used to be bull fights formerly.
The houses are moldering away and
the servants at the chief hotel are ig-
norant of any tongue but their own.
The university was founded literally
under the shadow of the church, and
was never free from ecclesiastic in
fuence, and such influence is evident
in all the educational institutions of
Spain to this day. Students were not
liable to any civil authority, but were
tried by the vice CHANCELLOR prac-
tice which led to so many scaudalsthat
eventually the king appointed three
conServators on behalf of the city to
be assessors with the vice chancellor
when he tried the students for serious
offenses against citizens.

THE ALEXANDER COLUMN.
Largest Single stone Ever Cut and
Polished by the Hands
of Man.

The young king of Italy is good
Judge of art, and on a recent visit to
the car he was struck by nothing so
much as the Alexander column before
The winter palace in st. Petersburg.
His own capital possesses the famous
Traj jan and Antonine pillars, besides
Is great Egyptian monoliths shaped
hundreds of years before Moses was
born; but the Alexander column is the
largest single stone ever cut and pol
shed by human hands. 1t is said that
when Alexander /. entered Paris with
the allied sovereigns, s victor, he
looked up at the Vendome column,
bearing Napoleon on high, reports the
Art Amateur.
God forbid" the young emperor ex-
claimed, that l should ever occupy
so giddy place! No man is worthy Of
it. To me it seems profane. l have
learned the littleness Of even the
greatest of mankind"
After his death his brother, Nicholas
l., remembering his words, decided to
erect a unique monument to his men,
DRY. He gave orders that shaft 81
feet long should be cut from the gran
tie rock. Impossible as the feat
seemed, it was more than accom-
pushed. From the mountain was
cleared stone 100 feet long, which the
literal-minded quarrymaster quickly
reduced to the required length. An
eyewitness says that Victor Emman-
uel III. of Italy looked at the magnif-
cent shaft wistfully. Rome is building
a huge monument to his grandfather.
Will il, when finished, bear comparison
with that great granite shaft topped
by its bronze figure of religion, erect
ed to the memory of the car who was
great enough to be humble.
