co1umbia.s Little Sister.

Miss Columbia has little sister now,
Who looks as if inclined to be afraid;
The curls are dark that hang about her
brow,
And the Lord has heard a prayer that
she has made.
There are hollows in her sunburned little
cheeks,
She is ragged and her little feet are bare.
But there's music in her soft tones when
she speaks,
And when she smiles her little face is
fair.
Oh, little Cuba, cease to be afraid;
The road Ger which you've come is
rough and steep,
But a fair way lies before you, little maid,
Where flowers bloom and happy foun-
tains leap.
little hand is on Columbia's arm;
A little maid looks GnXiously ahead
Let him beware who seeks to do her harm.
And God protect the leader and the ieo

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
1t Was an Ancient, Self Moving
Shrine of Bacchus.

1t Was an Ancient, Self Moving
Shrine of Bacchus.
Few, perhaps, are aware that the
first automobile considered in the sense
of a vehicle containing within itself
powers Of locomotion, of which there
is any authentic account was self
moving shrine of Bacchus.
This was the invention of Heron of
| Alexandria, who describes it in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine in question was mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels.
On the axle of the driving wheels was
a drum, about which was wound
| rope. which passed upward through
the space on one side of the shrine over
pulleys ard was fastened to the ring of
ponderods lead weight, which rested
upon quantity of dry, fine sand. The
escape Of this sand through a small
hole in the middle of the floor of tie
compartment containing it allowed the
lead weight gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in a
straight line.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and proportioning the wheels
in case it was desired that the shrine
move in circular path. lie also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move in straight line at right angles
to each other.
Officials of the patent Office overlook
ed the device of Heron when they
granted patents on slot machines, not
withstanding that previously Thomas
Eubank, commissioner of patents in
1850. illustrated and described Heron's
invention. The mechanism Of the lat
ter is almost identical with that in the
modern device and simply serves as an
other proof OF the saying, "There is
nothing new under the sun."-Wash-

! VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American Acutennss Due In Part to
the Midday Repasts.

the Midday Repasts.
A great mapy people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound n.y.
giene when they denounce the quick
lunch of the American business world
as the sum of all gastronomic iniqul-
ties But in so far as the quick lunch
is light lunch, and it usually is this,
it may be a blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness and business energy
of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even it
hurriedly, and drinks but little at the
midday meal; hence his mind is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do a
good deal between 1 o'clock and 6.
AS contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits Of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to thar he at
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to counterfeit. In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist,
" y
said that "the plan Of eating a heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ernoon recess Of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit in with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the "busy mans bite" had better
look a little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much, as GER
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but it
looks as if we were slowly approximate
ing, the country over, to an ideal dietet-
ic system, for Americans. which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal of the day, whatever it may be
called. And if the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect in
this direction it is not the unmiXed evil
some declare it to be.-Philadelphia

pounding him around. The scene was
a CHASTITY one. Morris face was beaten
into an unrecognizable mass. His
head was cut in several places. There
was a long cash over one of his eyes.
which were badly bunged up. His
nose was turned up toward his eyes,
as If broken. There was blood all over
him. He was exhausted when Wilson
quit and perfectly helpless. He was
given glass OF whiskey to restore
him and then the management of the
place took him up stairs and after
patching him up the best he could
put him on a street car and sent him
home. Wilson's vest, coat, hands and
arms were saturated with blood, but
there was but one little scratch on
him and that was across the nose. He
probably scratched himself. Morris
condition was such that people who
know him well did not recognize him.
His own friends expressed the opinion
that Wilson did not give him half
whit he deserved. Others said that
Wilson did just right and every one
who talked about it said it served him
right.
Wilson and his partner came here
about a year ago from Wheeling at
the solicitation of friends, among
whom was Charles f. Holden. They
stand high Ia the estimation OF The
people with whom they have done
business and are quiet, orderly peace
able gentlemen. Being a gentleman,
Wilson expected to be treated as a
gentleman and it is our opinion that
he will command studied respect from
a certain fellow or two after this,
Wilson had no weapon but used his
bare fists.
Morris bled at least quart.
1t is to deplorea that Morris by his
actions has gotten himself into such
an unenviable position. II he SO de-
sired hecould bea useful citizen and do
mu ;h in building up the city instead
of continually trying to keep it in an
uproar and doing e harm. 1t is hop
ed by those who wish him well that
this win be a lesson to him.
