The Difference in Equality.

From the London News.
The strength Of America lies in the devo-
ton of the national resources to the COM
class and not the nation which Is to be
helped. Education Is sacrificed to the
church Temperance Is thrown to the
brewers. Taxes are placed upon food and
the proceeds distributed between the land
lords and the parsons. The workman is
the last man to be considered in all this
The aim seems to be to govern him by his
very failings. II he is ignorant-aH the
better. Let him remain so. He will be
easier to govern. If he Is drunken, then
heaven forfend that we should remove the
cause! A sober man might claim his rights;
but drunken man Is always a fool. The
elevation of the masses Is contrary to the
instinct of a people whose ruling principle
is caste. 1t is better that they should re-
main a mob. But the trade unionists who
have visited the United States will not be
able to preach to their fellow workmen the
sovereign remedy of equality. They will
be able to tell them of country where
every workman carries. so to speak the
marshafs baton In his knapsack The stock
Is the same on both sides of the Atlantic
We will not for a moment admit that the
British workman Is any worse than the
American. But he works in a stale and
exhausted environment. and his energies
are hampered by laws and customs which
are part Of an obsolete order. Let him be
treated like a man and he will behave like
man. Interest him in the daily work of
his factory and he will grow in intelli-
gence and power to be the equal of his
American brother.

BOY DROWNED IN POND.
Walter Callaghan the Victim of Acct
dent Yesterday Afternoon

Another drowning accident. in which the
life of small boy was sacrificed, occurred
yesterday afternoon in Northeast Wash
ington. The scene of the accident was
near nth and ID streets, where the big
sewer emptes into the Eastern branch. and
the victim was Walter Callaghan. eight
years old. whose home is at 1909 Kramer
street northeast. 1t is stated that the
water is twelve feet deep in the pond at the
mouth of the sewer and. despite its filthy
condition boys are in the habit OF playing
in II. There were several youths about the
vicinity OF the pond yesterday afternoon
about o'clock but the Callaghan boy was
the only one who was in the water. He
was astride a long board, padding about
in the stream. when some OF his compan-
ions noticed him. They were paying no
particular attention to him. however. until
an outcry startled them. and then George
Duvall went overheard and made several
efforts to save the Callaghan lad. He sue
ceeded in catching hold OF him. but was
unable to rescue him because of the des-
perate struggle of the drowning boy.
Satisfied he could not get young Gala
CHAN out of the water in time to save his
life. Duvall and his little companions went
for assistance. They found Policeman
Chamberlain and informed him OF Gala
ghan's peril. 1t was then too late for the
officer to save the life OF the boy. and he
sought the aid of the crew OF the police
boat to recover the body.
Harbor Master Sutton had a skin taken
to the scene of the drowning. and the body
was found shortly before dark. The father
OF the victim of the sad accident reached
the pond about the time the body was re-
covered Coroner hewitt investigated the
circumstances and gave a certificate of &c.
cidental death The boys parents took
charge OF the remains and had them re-
moved To the home OF the family on Kra-
mer street. from where the funeral will
take place.

TEST FOR DRINK HABIT.
Shrewd Man Proved His Clerks Were
Not Teetotalers.
From the New York Herald.

FROM the New 1Ork Herald.
Half a score Of clerks in one of the
largest brokerage houses in New York were
astounded one morning last week when,
one by one. they were called into their en-
ployers private Office and asked to hold up
their feet and show the shanks of their
shoes. They thought the "old man" had
gone quite mad. Each young man he en-
tered the office was told to sit down and
put his foot up corner of the desk
where 1t could be examined. Then the head
of the house put on his glasses and very
carefully ScrutiniZed the shank of the shoe.
When all had been put through this ex-
animation he called the entire force of
clerks into his office and explained to them
why this unusual examination had been
made.
You are well aware" said he that
will not have a drinking man I'm my en-
ploy IL / know Ii. For some time L have
had good reasons for believing that several
of the young men before me have been in
dulging quite too much. Now 1 know il.
Here are the marks of the bar rail on the
bottoms of your shoes"
Several of the young men braced them
selves against the wall and lifted their feet
as a blacksmith lifts the foot of a horse
Sure enough. there were the glazed metal
lie marks on the dry leather. They were
the evidences of guilt and the young mems
faces showed 1t.
Its unmistakable proof" said the head
of the house. You can fix up your breath
at the drug store and the barber can clean
up your eyes and face, but you neglect the
shanks of your shoes"
That afternoon three young men cleaned
out their desks and gave the keys to the
managing clerk.

The Revival of Irish.
From Harper's Weekly.


That the language movement has come

no longer any reasonable doubt. 1t has not
only been taken up by the cultured classes
some we know who have abandoned
Dante to pore-over Middle Irish; the people
themselves. and in the cities. have taken
to it warmly. In O'Connell street the class
rooms are crowded, hundreds of young
men and women spending their evenings
after hours over Irish grammars and read
ing books; surely better there than in bars
or music halls. London has 1900 Gaelic

gins.
All over the length and breadth of Ire
land this work Is going on. The language,
the history, the music and the dancing
that belong to them are being revived
among the most impreSsionable people in
the world. The growth of the Gaelic
League is phenomenal. Last year the
number of affiliated branches almost
doubled itself; so did the entries in the
literary section Of the annual airactas, or
meeting, last May But most striking of
all Is the output Of Irish books, of which
during 1902 213,OO0 were issued by the

THE GROUND ROBIN"
No One Knows Origin Of the Strange
Term.

From the London Globe.
A round robin is one Of those docu-
ments of which the name is familiar to
most people. but which uncommonly few
have ever seen or signed. Every one knows
that the thing which bears so singular q
name is a communication-letter. remon-
STRANGE, warning, or the like-the sigma
lures to which are written around the cir
conference of the circle which incloses the
body of the epistle. or radiating therefrom
like the spokes of wheel from the hub so
that the responsibility of signing is equally
shared. No one signatory can be accused
of being either the first or the last to sign,
of being the leader or the whipperin.
The most famous example on record,
probably, is the remonstrance which was
sent to DR.. Johnson in connection with his
epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. The doctor
had prepared an epitaph in Latin. but
some of his friends, who had also been
friends of Goldsmith. took exception to 1t
on two grounds, the first being that 1t did
not quite do justice to the author of the
Traveller as a writer. and particularly as a
poet and the second, that 1t should be
written in English. The party Of friends

though they found themselves in general
agreement on these two points, no one had
the courage to be willing to bell the cat. %
or, in other words, to take the lead in
tackling the formidable johnson on these
two rather delicate matters. At last, says
Sir William Forbes, 1T was limited that
there could be no way so good as that of

they make use Of when they enter con-

THE ELEPHANTS TRUNK.
| Account Of the Manner in Which the
Organ Was Evolved.
From the London Field.

From the London Field.
The recent discoveries of fossil remains
of ancestral proboscideans in the tertiary
deposits Of the Fayum district of Egypt,
combined with careful study of the skele-
ton of certain species of mastodon known
to science for many years. have enabled
DR.. c. W. Andrews Proceedings of the
Royal Society to indicate very clearly the
manner in which the trunk of the modern
elephants has been gradually evolved.
The ancestral proboscideans were COM
paratively small and short-legged animals,
which had, of course, no difficulty in put
ting their mouths to the ground As the
successors OF these primitive forms gradu-
ally increased in bodily stature and more
especially in length of limb and size OF
head. 1T will be obvious that in order to he
able to obtain food or water from the level
of the ground they must either have in
creased the length of the neck or have de-
veloped special prolongation of the muz-
zle. But in the case of large and heavy
headed animals, whose SUCCESSORS were des-
tined to carry the enormous tusks of the
extinct mastodOnS and modern elephants it
will be further manifest that an increase in
the length of the vertebrate of the neck and
hence OF the neck itself. would, from the
mechanical considerations, have been i'm
possible Accordingly the only practicable
course was the elongatiou of the muzzle
In the earliest forms the lower jaw was
short and heavy, with the union between
the two branches (symphysis) very massive.
On the other hand, in many of the early
mastodons the lower jaw had become very
long, and terminated In a long, trough-like
symphysis. To accord with this prolonga-
ton of the lower jaw it is quite evident
that the upper lip and nose must likewise
have been elongated, and they probably
formed kind Of proboscs of which the
tip was most likely more or less prehensile.
For some reason or other no sooner had the
prolongation of the lower jaw attained its
maximum development than the length of
its trough-like symphysis began to dimin-
fsh, till the structure eliminated in the
short snout found In the later mastodons
and the modern elephants. During these
changes the length of the proboscis must
have continued to increase, while its fiexi-
bility and tactile power were likewise at
the same time augmented. till the structure
attained its full development in the ele-
plants of today.

Education.
From the San Francisco Bulletin

Education is good for any man or woman
who accepts 1t simply as intellectual en-
lfghtenment and as a means of Intellectual
pleasure. But education has an economical
as well as an intellectual aspect 1t gives
a man or woman appetites as well as pleas
ures. 1t creates in the individual need
and desire for brain work and distastc
for manual labor. 1t arouses wish Tor
Injuries and social position that only
wealth can bring. 1t drives men and wo-
cial prejudice leaves open to educated per-
sons. There is no room in these profess
sions for the crowd. Consequently null
titude of the less competent among college
graduates fail In their work and become
dissatisfied.
1t would be well IL the higher education
were confined to those only who through
superior powers of mind seem fitted for 1t
and give promise of being able to employ
1t in the intellectual professions. Every
graduating class at every university con
tains large percentage of students who
barely pass the tests and who have no nat
ural aptitude for intellectual occupation
These are dumped upon the market with
lofty ideas and insufficient ability to back
them up. Education to them Is a curse IN
stead Of blessing. 1t makes them take up
work at which they cannot succeed. and
despfse and shun the work for which God
made them. Even II they find out their
mistake after leaving college. It Is COM
monty too late to mend. The years in
which they might have been learning a
trade or q business are gone. They can do
everything in general, but nothing In par
ticular; and the man that succeeds today
Is the one who can do something IN pac-
ticular and do It especially we'll.
