The London Gazette

The London Gazette is the oldest and
least read of any newspaper. 1t is at
once the biggest and the least of all
our papers, for it is the only paper in
the land which changes it's size from
Cne page to hundred, according to
the pressure of news. 1t is the only
newspaper whose word is law and
whose authority is accepted in the wit.

which certain persons are compelled

other persons cannot advertise for love
or money. 1t yields profit of EGO 900

CINE the Gazette had, besides it's edi-
tor, a staff of five clerks appointed by

remodelled the management of the
paper, found the staff employment
elsewhere and left the whole respon-
sibility of the Gazette on its present

of the paper has been in the Harrison

PopuIism In GERMANY

Greater strides have been made in
Germany in public ownership than in
any other country. For instance, while
San Francisco is still debating the
question of taking over water works
by the city, in Germany all the larger
cities except two-Frankfort and
Charlottenbhrg- have municipalized
their water supply system, and the
works are yielding. profits from IA per
cent to Is per cent, the latter figure
being reached in Dusseldorf.
In addition most of these cities also
have their own gas works and electric
lighting plants, many have municipal
slaughter houses and eighteen have
their own street car systems A still
more radical departure is the estab-
lishment of municipal drug stores ir
several cities-the city determining
the number and location of these
stores. AS has been stated. this is

Artificial Corn Ears.

It is not probable that any one will

Iowa building at the Columbian expo
sition in Chicago ten years ago. A
great sensation among agriculturists
was created by display of some i'm

forth as sample Of Iowa's chief sta
pie. People supposed they were gen.
uine, and all marveled at the size of
the ears and wondered what sort of
soil there could be in Iowa to produce
them.
1t turned out afterward that they
were the product of a Shenandoah

into sections, glued them together and
then stuck on the kernels. 1t was done
SO nicely that it deceived the most
experienced farmers. These big ears

Those who followed the reports Of

day. Judge Overs was a member OF

yer conference which framed the ad-

choose to call it. The Associated press
report is as follows:
Denver, Colo, Sept. 21.-The pop
ulist state convention today nominated
District Judge Frank W. Overs OF
Leadville for justice of the supreme
court. Resolutions were adopted con-
demning in vigorous language the
present republican state administra-
ton, and also denouncing the demo-
cratic party because it's recent con-
vention failed to denounce the use OF
military at Cripple Creek. The reso-
buttons on this point further say:
The only defiance and obstruction
to the ordinary process Of the
courts of Teller county is made by
the military and those responsible fo-
it's presence and conduct are therefore
directly in instruction against the
government and the state of Colorado.
We therefore demand the imme-
date punishment of the rebels under
the law and the impeachment of tht
governor of the state as soon as pos
sible."

Plate Breaking.

A Pole on the east side makes his
living By breaking plates. He breaks
a considerable number each week for
applicants and receives a fee for SO
doing. The plate to be broken is US
ually furnished by himself but occa-
sionally the customer provides it.
Almost anybody might be expected
to be able to smash plate with an
iron hammer, which is the tool the old
man uses, but the curious thing about
his method is that the blow falls SO
as to break the pate into three pieces,
two of a certain size and one larger
and differently shaped from the 9TH
ers. There are few chips and spin
never more nor less than the three
pieces.
The plates are mOrtuary plates and
are an important part of the burial
ceremony among certain orthodox
Jews. The two smaller pieces of the
potter's ware are applied to cover the
dead persons eyes, and the larger
and longer piece is meant to extend
| from eyebrow to mouth. The believ-
ers hold that such pieces of pottery
ware placed within the coffin assure
protection to the soul when it makes
its exit from the body stipulated
time after burial.
| "Thy pillow shall be the EARTH" is
construed as partial warrant for the
custom.
| The secret of this particular method
of plate breaking has come down from
rabbi to rabbi rough many genera
tons. Originally the plate was. split
with a sword. Later the breakage was
effected with trowel. Now hammer
answers. Formerly the plates for NOR
tuary use were supposed to issue one
and all from a certain potter's kiln
near Jerusalem, and some of the
plates were believed to be heirlooms
since King Solomons day. But with
the removal of the tribes from place
to place and the stress of poverty and
strange conditions it has come to be
that almost any plate will do if it be
potter's ware and not tin or metal
and if it is broken by person author
lied to bless the ceremony
So this weakened old rabbi of a pc
culiar fast-disappearing sect among
the other orthodox Jews is called upon
by many to perform the ceremony.
And he has steady employment, even
though his constituents be among the
poorest of the ghetto's people and able
to give only 1.-THE of the fee which
used to be considered proper for such
service-New York Sun.
