JUVENILE REASONING.
An Instance of Mature Wisdom Equal

Children have their own way OF

are direct, forceful and even eloquent"

children, relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, land really, ! some

MANY BOOKS FOR THE BLIND.
The United States Is Doing Much to
Provide the SiGhtIess with
Helpful Literature.

81 went into the free library the 9TH
err day." said the Observant Citizen, in
the Philadelphia Press, land wandered
into the department for the blind. I
was amazed to find the number Of
works 1t contained and some investiga-
ton gave me lot Of very interesting
information.
Il find that there are about 100000
blind persons In the United States and
that the printing Of books for them has
reached such proportions that bill
was introduced into congress a few
months ago providing that these works
shall go free through the mails.
More than that, learn that the gov
eminent has already made an attempt
to help this class by annually giving the
interest on s250,000 to the American
printing house for the blind at Louis
vile, Ky. l have seen a statement by
Mr.. Boutell, of Illinois, In which he
says that this yearly sum of $4,000 IS
used for printing these books and dis
tributing them among thirty-two pub
lie and five private schools for the
blind. The principals of these schools
form a committee which decides what
works shall be published.
"a dictionary makes IS volumes and
costs $50; Bible II volumes for 81,
and an English grammar sells for $40.
Il find also that there are three week.
lies and one monthly paper for the
blind"

TALK OF THE RATHER.
Philadelphia ZoOkeeper Says the
Snake Sounds n Call with
It's RattIes

What Is rattlesnake's rattle
fOr?" said John Lover, the ZOO keeper,
in response to a question by a Phila-
delphia Record man.
1T Is CALL" he resumed, answering
his own question. THE rattlesnake
with it calls his mate. A man was
telling me the other day that he stud
led the rattle question last year In the
west. He said ii Is mainly as a call
that the rattle is used, though different
sounds can be made with it, and these
sounds appear to have different mean
ings.
Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack a rattlesnake The reptile began
to fight pluckily, and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed The snakes, though they
fought we'll, were all killed
"The rattle Is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock It's
as a call, he says, that the rattle is
used most-a love call, generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate"

HOT-WEATHER ENTERPRISE.
How a Newspaper Reporter Worked
"Beat" on Less Inven-
tive Rival.

One Of the most cheering sights of
the day was displayed to passers-by
in Park Row little after noon, says
a New York exchange. A very SOL
emn, fat reporter came down out of a
newspaper Office with camera and
thermometer. He wandered about
the open space disconsolately and
drippingly looking for the hottest spot
After awhile he found a handy place
near the Franklin monument which
seemed to be the focus of more sun
rays than any other. There he SOL
EMMY set up the thermometer, waited
until the mercury refused to rise any
higher, and then photographed the
record. Then solemnly and drippingly
he retired to the picture department
OF his newspaper.
A few minutes later another young
man, from rival newspaper, appeared
In secluded spot in William street,
near the bridge arches. and likewise
produced thermometer He. however,
produced a match which he lighted
and held under the bulb of the Their
mometer while another reporter with
camera took a picture Thus are

MOTHER OF QUEER BROOD.
Hen Missing from Flock for Several
Weeks Is Found to Have Hatched
Dozen Quail

Mrs. Lucy J. Fisher, wife Of Patrick
Fisher, a farmer near Normal, Grant
county. Indiana, is the possessor of an
unusual brood. consisting of hen and
II quail, the latter supposed to be about
month old.
One Of Mrs. Fishers favorite hens
was missing from the flock for several
weeks, and was only seen occasionally
when she came from a wheat field on the
farm to get something to eat She acted
as If sitting on hidden nest in the field,
but all efforts Of Mrs Fisher to locate the
nest were unavalling One day Mrs.
Fisher followed the hen through the
field to an open ditch, where she found
her trying to coax her brood, consisting
OF dozen young quail, to cross the
ditch. The quail were old enough to fly
when pressed, but returned to the hen on
being called. The hen and the quail
seemed as much attached to each other
as any hen and her chickens could be.

CULTIVATION OF GINSENG.
The Root Is Being Raised with Con-
siderable Success In Central
Wisconsin.

Ginseng is being cleared out Of CEN
trail Wisconsin rapidly" said G. S.
Banks, of Newcastle, reports the Wash
ington Star, "but the Indians around
Horizon lake still manage to find enough
of ii each season to get on a good drunk
with the proceeds. | have never been
able to learn just what is done with the
root, although l know it is shipped TO
China, where it is used for many pur-
poses. What disease it is supposed to
cure is mystery to me. The root when
1t is dried is shaped something like
small carrot. It is not the same as the
Chinese ginseng have been told, but II
makes a satisfactory substitute now that
the real article is all gone. At one time
the woods around Newcastle were full

pound. AS the producers gradually came
to realize the men to whom they were
selling It were making an enormous
profit they raised their prices about
thousand per cent and then kept 1t going
up The demand has never lessened any,
but II is probable that there will be no
ginseng growing wild in Wisconsin
after few years. Some people are rails
ing It in cultivated fields and making
good profit, although the plant requires
a great deal Of care. What is obtained
near our town Is mostly sold to Chicago
firms, their representatives taking a
trip up the state at the proper seasons Of
the wear"

BRITISH WORKMEN.
Statistics Show That Their Wages
Are Being Reduced.
Over ~, 900 Pounds a Week Less Paid
for Labor in 1902 Than In 1901
Coal Miners and Shipbuilders
SnEer Most.

The report on wages and hours OF la
Dor for 1902, recently issued by the Brit
ish labor department, shows that one
workman In every ten experienced some
change in wages during the year.
Nearly $4,000 received advances,
amounting to $4,000 week, or an aver
age Of one shilling two pence head;
1893 900 sustained decreases amounting to
about G78,000 week, or an average re-
duction OF about two shillings head.
During the year, therefore, on an aver
age G72,700 a week less was paid In
wages than during the previous year.
The department estimates that during
1902 about G2,300, 900 less was paid for
wages than in 1901; in 1901, about .e1,-
100000 less than. in 1900; but in 1900
there was a big increase over 1899,
amounting to f6000000.
Coal miners and men In the ship
building trade accounted between them
for almost the whole of the 1902 decrease.
Builders, iron and steel workers, textile
workers, and workers In the clothing
trade, all experienced rises. Taking
period OF ten years from 1893-1902, the
whole of the time statistics have been
collected, there Is an increase Of about
seven pence per head per week all round.
In 1902. under sliding scale agree
ments, 172,98s changes of wages were
made, by Cancellation boards or arbitra-
ton, 541 ,152, and by the parties them
selves 1925.
For the hours Of labor there was In
1902 reduction In hours worked per
week Of 1,024,S6S from 1901. In 1893
workers put in 2,31S493 hours per week
more than they did last year. The de-
crease in 1902, as compared with 1901,
is accounted for by legislation that af-
fected the textile trades and printing,
bleaching and dyeing works.
The wages Of agricultural laborers
have been rising regularly since 1896,
and the increase per week In 1902, as
compared with each week in 1901,
amounted to G400

SPOOLS MADE FROM PULP.
Material Now Used I'm the Mnnufac-
ture OF the Reels OF Larger
Size,

The process OF making spools from
pulp has been in course of develop
ment for the past two years, and many
obstacles have had to be overcome be-
fore the spool was perfected. 1t was
comparatively easy to mold the spool
into the proper form, but after 1t had
become dry and hard the difficulty was
TO grind or turn it into the proper
size 10 hold the required amount OF
thread This trouble has now been
overcome, reports the Hartford COu-
rant. Pulp will be used only for the
large size Of spools, as it is not prac-
teal to make the smaller spools OF
that material
Many Of the large spools are nearly
four inches In diameter and up to the
present time they have been made Of
wood. When they were first made they
were turned from a single piece OF
wood, but It was discovered that IN
many cases the pressure-of the thread
as II was wound on the spool would
push the head off the barrel, although
II was the same piece OF wood. In or
der TO remedy this difficulty. It became
necessary TO make the large spools
from three pieces, the barrel and the
two heads, and when the heads were
closely fitted to the barrel and glued,
they were found TO remain better than
when they were one piece Of wood

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.
Elm Tree Growing Out of the Trunk
of q Huge Poplar Found in
Indiana,

A freak of nature has been found by
workmen who were cutting timber a
short time ago on large tract near
Benham, Ind. The tract belongs to
Isaac F. King and the freak is the inter-
growth of two kinds of timber, says a
local report.
A young, thrifty poplar tree, some Ii
inches in diameter, has, as viewed from
a short distance, apparently what is an
elm limb Of nearly half it's own girth
growing from the trunk about eight feet
from the ground. A careful examina-
ton Of the base Of the tree reveals elm
roots and the body Of the elm springs
directly from the body Of the poplar.
A slight ridge in tie poplar trunk,
which winds from the elm roots to the
point from which the elm leaves it,
shows how much more vigorous its
growth has been than that of it's COM
panion tree and for some feet the pop
lar has completely swallowed the elm.
About 20 feet higher the two seem to
have become attached again and in
time may form another combine. The
poplar has attained a height OF about
100 feet and the elm is somewhat short
er. Just how 1t Is possible for the elm
tree to thrive, in spite Of the fact that
1t has been encased by the poplar for
many years, is not clear.

EFFECTS OF FRUIT ACIDS.
Dispatched by Lime and
Lemon Juices.

II is a matter of common knowledge
that fruit juices exert a most beneficial
effect In the treatment Of scuryy and
similar ailments, and their action on the
typhoid bacillus and the colon bacillus,
which are the cause Of many forms OF
acute intestinal and other diseases has
been studied on a considerable scale by
Dr. Reynolds, health commissioner OF
Chicago, says the London Telegraph
lie finds that the juices Of different spe-
cies OF lemons vary very materially In
germicidal effect, that from some specl-
mems requiring as much as ten per cent
TO XII all the exposed germs. Lime
Juice, apple juice and grape juice all
have more or less inhibiting effect, but
the bottled grape juice sold at grocery
stores gave the most conclusive results.
Distilled and tap water were infected
with the bacteria, and bottled grape Juice
added In proportions varying from one
TO five per cent Examination showed
that some brands had killed the germs
al the end Of the first minute. as did also
the lemon juice Of proper strength
Strangely enough, the freshly extracted
juice Of the grape, prepared in the labor
atory, had no effect, even in the proper
tion Of 100 per cent.

disposing OF his change, while the waiter
fingered near with his eyes on the dis

Herald.
"Are you waiting for tip?" asked the
patron.
Gust as you please, sir" answered the
waiter.
Then fear my pleasure will not be

is that your philosophy is all wrong, and
with wrong philosophy you are sure to
fall into all sorts of errors.

According to ST. George Whitehouse,
the manager and chief engineer OF the
Uganda railway. with the exception Of
a few unimportant temporary bridges
which will have to be replaced by steel
structures, all being within 80 miles Of
the lake terminus, the line from Nom
hasa to Port Florence is completed.
Trains now run through without
change OF carriage from the sea to the
heart OF Africa, distance Of 5S4 miles.
The same gentleman. discussing the diff
fculties which have to be surmounted,
says: Not the least Of these has been
caused by the wild animals along the
line. Lions very seriously interfered
with the work Of construction and at
mile 1872 once nearly brought work to
a standstill. No fewer than 81 railway
employees have been carried off by lions,
and probably there are more of whom
there is no record.
