Growth Of Socialism.

The rapid growth of Socialism is di-
rekly due to the Republican policy of
profession and subsidies. 1t leads
men to believe that the government
should care for them as il protects Ae
trusts and corporations. Seeing the
tariff barons are made rich by special
laws, why cannot. they ask. all of US
have our legal share of the plumber
Instead of numerous trusts why not
have a national trust in which every
one can be a stakeholder? Protection
thrives on public extravaganza and
breeds corruption. another argument
for the Socialist.
Honest Republicans who have been
led to believe in protection should
think Of the broad road they are driv-
ing in and the revolution and destruc-
ton of republican government that
must be met at the end of their jour
ney The only salvation for the masses
Is their being led to believe that
equality of opportunity for alf'-the
fundamental doctrine Of Democracy
Will destroy monopoly and give each
his share for his labor without the
paralysis of individual effort that So
ciaIism would produce.

Political Machines.

The strenuous young governor Of ILL
nois. who has just been defeated for
denomination, has already commenced
to punish those of his appointees who
did not support him 10 the last ditch.
He has demanded the resignation Of
twenty-six prominent Republican Off
Gals, and hundreds more are to be de-
capitated. Death 10 all traitors"' is
the motto of Governor Yates, and it
is said that Mr.. Deneen, the nominee
for governor. agrees with him anu will
If successful exclude from participa-
ton in the patronage distribution all
the partisans OF Senators Cullom and
Hopkins and the other members of The
congressional delegation that opposed
the winning side. This strenuous cX
hibition of lack of brotherly love be
tween the Illinois Republicans shows
the mercenary machine that rules
them, which was aided and strength
ened by President Roosevelt when he
appointed the notorious Doc Jameson
naval officer. Such is Republican
politics everywhere-a machine over
thrown, another takes its place, all
based on patronage. and plEnder.

MOLLlfiED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern Utes Had an In. terview with Bear at Close
 Quarters.

"The most interesting story l ever heard came from the lips of old 'Buckskin Charley chief of the southern Utes," said MT. J. P. Altberges, of Philadelphia, to a Washington Post reporter.
 "As told by white man the narrative is tame, indeed, lacking the dramatic action and eloquence of the red warrior. It was about a meeting with a big grizzly bear in the mountains of Colorado. Charley was out looking for deer. He was equipped with an old-fash- toned, single-barrel, muzzle-load. ing rifle, which put him at a terri. ble disadvantage, when he was suddenly confronted by one of the biggest specimens of the grizzly tribe he ever saw.
 "T jumped behind big tree very quick he said, 'and MT. Bear came close, rearing up on his hind legs. I was scared to shoot, only hay: ing one barrel. Then I com. menced to talk. I said: "Mr. Bear, I am your friend. leone out after deer. l hope you go way and so l kill deer and leave big piece of meat for you" Then the bear seemed to get friendly, and he dropped on his legs to the ground, much as to say he'd like a piece of deer, and then he run of into the mountains.'

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS
Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses oi Hymn for Soft Boiled and
 Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused of want of method, but the Aunt Dinah in Howard Paul's new egg story is not open to any such re. proach, says.London Truth. In variably when she put the eggs in the saucepan she began singing "Rock of Ages" and sang through two verses. Aunt Dinah," asked Mir. Paul, "are there not three verses in that hymnw "Dar is, massa, but I sings only two when I wants lem soft and three when l wants lem hard"
 His other egg story is good, too. He was travelling on a Pennsyl vania railway, and when his breakfast was brought the eggs were underdone. "What time are we making on this train?" he asked the waiter. "A mile min. ute, sir" "Then boil the eggs another mile and they'll be quite right"

 'There are more Bibles sold now, tAk- ing them all together, than ever before, and the Bible Is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; but the demand for it in this particular form is now, l should say. not more than one-third what it once was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in a dozen styles, ranging in pries from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated. are hound in between the two Testaments
 .In some of these Bibles there IS . blank presentation page upon whlcn may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented, wltn the name of the giver; and in some ot tbem is contained blank marriage ceH tifcate: and in some there are bound m with the pages for the record Of olrtns. deaths and marriages, pages TOT the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 "These Bibles are more likely to oe bought nowadays by country people, ana fl might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; al likely to os substantial people Of comfortaole means: conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.

IS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Made Against the New Wom' an-Considerations That Might
 Lead Her to Admit It

One of the charges that are made against the "new woman" IS that she is less sympathetic than is her sister who abides closely in what is called "woman's sphere" says the Portland Oregonian. But in the light of the above ar raignment of sympathy as the vice that 1t not infrequently is, may not the "new woman" confess judgment upon this charge and strengthen her case and her posi- tion by so doing? Woman has been called a ministering angel. but would not a more practical name better bef1t the women of the twentieth century, Will not the services of women to the world be greater and of more en. during effect if they cast aside un. reasonable sympathy as a worn. out garment that discloses rather than conceals the moral naked ness of those about whom it is cast, and substitute therefor the armor of persohal responsibility? It has been said that there is a woman behind the door of every mans success. "If there is," says the writer, "rest assured that she isn't a sympathetic woman whin. ing through the keyhole: Give it up if it's hard,' but woman of nerve and backbone who, like the Spartan woman of old, is crying out: Come home with your shield, or on it."

REMARKABLE WEAPON.
olSwpipe Used by the Indian shaPp- shooters of Guiana Nicely
 COnstFucted.

There are two kinds of blowpipes in use among the Indians of Guiana The first, called the poocoona, is made Of the oorah reed. This remarkable reed is found in the Orinoco river only. and then only at certain spots. The oorah grows to g height of at least 30 feet, and the basal joint, of which the blowpipe Is made, is IA or 15 feet long, straight as an arrow and without . knot. says Longman's Magazine.
 The inside of the reed is a smooth as glass. hence the facility with which the dart traverses it. Very little of the reed is cut away. so that the pipe is about 12 feet long, and is so strong that when held horizontally there is not the least bend in it.
 The reed, having been carefully se- lected, cut and prepared. is inclosed In a small. thin palm trunk. which Is split open for the purpose, scraped thin as wafer, and then rejoined with the reed in the center. This palm, for length, straightness and lightness, is as remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe, when finished, never weighs more than 1A or 1% pounds. Both the mouth, or muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed, the bell pieces being fixed on.
 There are front and back sights, the latter formed of the curved teeth of the dasyprocta acouchi, species of rodent somewhat larger in size than . wild rabbit Two of the insicors of this animal are fixed on the breech of the pipe by means of wax. The teeth being placed parallel to each other and very close together, the sight is taken between them. Sometimes the fore sight is made in the same way, but 1t more often consists of the single sharp tooth of a fish. It is placed about a foot back from the muzzle, the back sight being affixed four feet along the tube, so that 1t is a considerable dis tance from the eye when aiming.
 The missile used with this tube is misnamed an arrow. It Is really a dart, scarcely larger than a large darning needle, and with a point quite as fine. The dart is made of the rib of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is 50 heavy that it will sink in water It Is about seven inches in length, not thicker than a large needle, and the usual number that an Indian carries with him when shooting is from 35C to 800, ready poisoned, but not pre- pared with the necessary cotton plugs
 These darts are strung together something like the reeds on which soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled on stick and carried in quiver points upD1ost, it being requisite tc protect them from every chance o1 being broken or dulled. To protect the hand when handling them the tor of the stick is furnished with small wheel-like shield.
 The fine points are given to the darts by means of the teeth of the devilfish (serrasalmus pivava), and the cotton with which they are plugged before use is found growing wild. It is bound to the base of a dart with thread made of silk. grass; this thread with wax obtained from several trees being largely used also in making thu | bloWpipo

GROWTH OF INSANITY.
In the Large Cities 1t h Increasing and Experts Demand 6
 Change.

What change can be made in city life to stop its enormous production of in- sanity. yearly increasing?
 Here is a question which Is yet to be solved. says the New York World. The medical fraternity Is at a loss for gen. eral remedy: puzzled to find means of overcoming the baneful effects of . city's activity on the general medical condition.
 London produces 70 lunatics a week and New York Is almost as bad. and its increase Is greater proporionately. Ex- perts say that If it were net for the fact that nature steps in and generally re- fuses to grant children after the fourth or fifth generation conditions would be far worse than they are.
 "The outlook for the future Is not bright according to medical opinion. un- less the minds of the city people are bet ter able within the next few generations to adjust themselves to their progressive complicated environment. unless bal aucing interests and mental habits ara developed to overcome the unnatural nervous tension of city life.
 So complicated is the environment of those who live in great towns, so many and SO varied are the calls upon tho self-control and upon their effort-mak- ing powers, that their mental machin- cry Is apt to become more complex, Its parts require more construction and ad- iustment, and the whole machine Is more apt to get out of gear and to suffer derangement than in the more primi- tive aud less emotional life of even half a century ago. It is not overwork that is the determining cause of the disturb ance or mental equilibrium, but carking care, worry and anxiety.
 To the rich insanity is brought by in- dulgence in sensuous luxuries. To the poor, who are at the mercy of every economic crisis, whose financial circum. stances spell indifferent nutrition, oveI- crowding and immoral surroundings. fhe condition of modern life bring de- nression and despair. The natural re- suit Is that they attempt to drown their sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol is inc cause of one-f1fth of the insanity in males and of more than half of that in Ina weaker sex.
