Tn the past Sunday has been pretty much like any other day in Madrid. Now royal decree has been published changing the old order of things, says the Westminster Gazette. Every fac tory and workshop must close all day, and ordinary shops will not be allowed to remain open after Il o'clock in the forenoon, while the national bullhght is to be permitted only on very special occasions. Thousands of protests have been forwarded to the government. which, however, is deaf to all remon. strances. The experiment will be an interesting one to watch.

FENCE PosTs BRCAME TREES.
Domestic Plants as Wonderful in
 Growth as Those of the Tropics.

Domestic Plants as Wonderful in
 Growth as Those of the Tropics.
 People talk of the wonderful traveller last week, 'sbut they rarely think of the wonderful vitality and swift growth of our own domestic trees in this country
 There is the poplar, for Instance. Rip branches from tree, thrust them into the ground without any care whatever, and inside of three months every one of those branches will have sent out mass of roots and be deyel- oping fast into tree. 9
 "I have just passed through a thick ct of popIars in New York state where trees of about fifteen feet in height stood so close together that man could hardly push his way between them. They were all hourlshlng, healthy young trees, with tnlcK trunks.
 s'To my surprise, learned from my
 guide Lnat this whole little grove had sprung up from branches stuck into the ground after wind storm had torn them from other trees along the road.
 "A still more wonderful tree is the catalpa. known to most boys on ac- count of it's long bean, which some or them use for smoking after 1t IS dry. The catalpa has such, remarkaDle vitality that even tree that has been cut down and sawed into lengths again and again. will strike root and sprout, and finally grow up into good trees q saw a fence in the middle west l that consisted of a straight row of beautiful catalpas, each of them near ly twenty feet high. The row was so mathematicalIy straight that Won- dered how the trees had grown so, especially as the row was nearly half l mile long. So I rode over to them and discovered that barb wareatwa as stretched from tree to tree, evidently as a division fence. Later l met the owner of the land, and he explained to me how the trees had come to grow in so perfect line. .
 "sAbout ten years ago. he said, I wanted to raise barb wire fence along the line of my property to pre- vent my cattle from straying. went itno the woods and we chopped down a lot of small catalpas, about sapling size. We chopped the roots off, leay- ing a pointed end at the base, and sawed the crowns off clean, thus mak- ing stakes about, eight feet long.
 These we drove into the. ground in the row that you saw, and attached our barb wire to them. Inside of six months every stake had begun to
 sprout, and since then the fence stakes have grown into trees. ."-- Wash I ington Post.

EXPRESSING CLUB.
Georgia Girls Band Together to Pro-

Georgia Girls Band Together to PrO-
 hibit OscuIation.
 Recently half dozen pretty Georgia girls discussed kissing from various standpoints hygienically, financially, etc.-and decided that it is a silly and unsanitary practice, says a Lexington (Ga.) dispatch to the New York World. Accordingly they organized as the An tikissing club and adopted a constitu- tion which provides, among other things:
 Each member shall sign the follow ing pledge with her own blood, secured from her lips:
 1T pledge myself to never kiss any one except father, mother, brothers, sisters, husband and children.
 "I pledge myself furthermore to never kiss my betrothed until become his wife.
 "'If fail to keep this pledge, will pay fine of $25 and ask the club to erase my name from the rell.'
 ''On the marriage of any member of this club in good standing each mem Der shall pay $5 to the treasurer who shall present the amount as bridal gift to the bride
 'The amount paid in by those who fail to keep the pledge shall be held by the treasurer as a fund to be divided among those who prefer spinsterhood.
 "All members of the club must at tend the marriage of members, and all hymeneal ceremonies will be arranged by an appointed committee.
 ''Any member who applies for di- vorce shall pay to the treasurer $50 and have her name removed from the roll.
 "On the death of any member in good standing each member shall pay to the treasurer $5, to be used in erect ing shaft to the deceased, which shall be marble pillar 3 by 4, sur mounted by figure of a woman in Greek costume, three feet high, with the first finger of the right hand touch ing closed lips. The only inscription shall be, Here rests a modest, sensible and faithful member of the A. K. O. :"
 Fortunately for the Georgia boy the A. K. C.'s failed to insert a clause pro- hibiting hugging. But when a member is being hugged she will murmur the warning, Please remember am an A-E--G-y

Indiana Farmer Made 2,O24 Hits,
 Missing None.
 Charles l.. Baker, young farmer living near Richmond, Ind, has be come wonderfully expert with a rife, says special dispatch from Indian apolis. Tn recent contest at targets he made the unequalled record of 2,024 shots without miss. Charles H. ClaWson, Richard Estelle and three other Richmond men who witnessed the exhibition jointly made affidavit to the conditions of the tests and the results.
 Baker used rifle of 9 caliber and the cartridges were charged with smokeless powder. The targets were disks of wood three and one-quarter inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch in thickness. Standing twenty-five feet from the point. at which the disks were thrown into the air Baker punctured 2,000. There were no more wooden disks, and green wal nuts gathered near the range were substituted. He missed only after twenty-four walnuts had been hit.

The attention of the Boston Pilot and the other backs1iders is called to
 the following bit of information which shows where Roosevelt stands with l the big ones: Ut is all going one
 way" said E H. Hartman. president of the Union Pacific, when he returned from Europe the other day and dis,
 cussed politics incidentally with the
 reporters. "No one wants to put the republicans out" How the down. trodden, oppressed, bedevilled Ameri- can millionaire clings to the president I and the grand old party! Here is MT Hartman, in the hour of his Northern Securities troubles and rate war on wire nails with the Missouri Pacific, fondly putting his trust in the admin istration. Less than a week ago George Gould, who controls the Mis- souri Pacific, which has been quarrel ing with MT Harriman& road, came home from Europe and testified abun- dantly to his confidence in MT Roose- welt and republican policies. A few days earlier Henry c. Prick, of i the Steel trust, returned from Europe and willingly confided to the reporters
 his belief that the president and the republican party had earned the sup port of the business interests. MT
 Morgan is said to be for. MT. Roosevelt.
 His business associates are actively
 supporting MT Roosevelt, and it. is
 likely that John w. Gates would bet million that the president is as safe and sane as anybody. This is doubt
 less what an esteemed republican con- temporary means when it says s'the drift of plutocracy toward Judge Par ker is still in evidence"

Great interest has been manifested throughout the country in an extreme ly able dissection of the relation be- tween the protective tariff and the wages of labor, made by Isaac w. Griscom, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mir Griscom maintains that ''the allega- tion that either the general wage rate of the nation or the producing power of the wage is increased by any con- ceivable system of taxation is absurd The idea that the wealth produced by the labor of the nation can be increased by the taxation of Ameri- can consumers is simply preposterous. Tn support of his contention, MT Gris- com denies a dilemma which he offers to supporters of the protection theory: ''What we need to know is: Whether the protective tariff is supposed to be the cause of the high wage of Ameri- can labor or whether the high wage of American labor is the cause of the protective tariff being demanded by the American employer. Obviously the two horns of this dilemma are antagonistic. If the American wage rate is so high that the employer can not afford to pay it without the help of the tariff, it is obvious that the em- ployer demands the tariff to protect himself from the American wage rate, and that the touching anxiety in re- gard to protecting American labor from the 'pauper labor of Europe is entirely called for. If the high wage is the cause of the tariff being needed by the employer. it is plain that the high wage has an existence independ- ent of the tariff, and that American labor is protected from the 'pauper la Dor of Europe by something other than the tariff. But if, on the other hand, it is contended that the tariff makes the wage rate so high that the employer cannot afford to pay it, it is plain that the disability of the employ CT is caused by the tariff, and his diffi- culties must increase with increase of the tariff, and his only hope of being able to pay the wage rate is in the abolition of the tariff-''

Of great engineering interest is the coal testing plant of the United States geological survey, erected and oper- ated at the St Louis fair under an ap- propriation from congress, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. The equipment consists of steam boil CTS, steam engines, electric generators and motors, complete gas producer, with economizer, scrubber and holder. beehive coke ovens, a vertical gas en- zine, crushers, washers, differs, bins, one English and one American briquet- ting press, with outfits complete. There is also a complete plant of boiler and engine testing apparatus, and well equipped chemical laboratory, where caloriffc determinations and proximate and ultimate analysis of each fuel are made. All this work is in the hands of specialists of long training. The samples to be tested are selected at the mines by experts sent out for the purpose On arrival, part of the coal is put through the coke ovens. part tested under the boilers, and part goes to the briquetting machines. A 25O
 horse power Corliss engine, and both connected to electric generators. The coal will be transformed into electrical energy by both the steam and gas processes. and the results compared. The coke from the ovens will be ana- lyzed, and then carefully tested in the model foundry near by. Both the equipment and the fuels are furnished to the government without charge.

Why the Uncultivated Appear Always
 to Be Talking of Self.
 All the uncultivateds appear almost always to be talking about themselves, but it is easy for superficial observer to exaggerate the extent to which this is the case. For instance, if you dis cuss with cultivated man a question of morals or the wisdom of rectitude of any particular line of conduct, he will tell what he thinks right orAWhat he thinks wrong, or what strikes him as wise or foolish, with very little use of the personal pronoun. He can see the situation from the outside. But If you discuss it with an uneducated man he is incapable of this detached atti. tude of mind. The uneducated man can only picture the circumstances to himself by picturing himself in the midst of them What he thinks right and wise is, no doubt, often 2 great deal better and wiser than what he would actually have done. such and such a thing was wrong; 1 should not have done it." he says; or, 'Such and such was foolish. Now, had 1t been me. I should have done so and SOL, To the sophisticated listener he gives an impression of appalling self-righteous7 ness, and even, perhaps, of hypocrisy; but the impression is mistaken one. He argues in the vocative case, be cause it is the one in which he can most easily express himself.
 Some people, it must be admitted, attract condolences from those who have no weakness for making them. We are not alluding to those persons who, by method of delft .cross-exam- nation, manage tol abstract informa- tion with which they have no business. Such information is not condded by its original owner, but stolen from hlm,. or at least wormed out of him. The people we mean have that in their face and bearing which makes all the world at home with them. Whoever meets them may know that they are incapable of giving a snub or re- buff to anyone who claims their sym- pathy, be he ever so silly. They go about the world unarmed and un, afraid, and, to give human nature it's due, unhurt Unconsciously, it is they who make the first confidence, telling those who see them, even for the first time. that they are sympathetic and detached, and as shreWd as they are harmIess.--London Spectator.
