"Rail, COlumbia!"

A certain Congressman-Ha rper's
Weekly does not mention names in
connection with the story, but says
that he takes an interest in musical
matters presented bill advocating a
larger appropriation for the care Of
the music in the Congressional Lii
brary.
He spoke briefly on the subject and
after the session a fellow Congress-
man approached him confidentially.
II say" he said, in a low voice, II
like that bill Of yours; but tell me,
what sort of music does the govern
ment have over there in the library?
Is it band or just han6-organ?"

Curious Causes of sleep.

Scientists disagree as to the cause On
able reasons are assigned for the de-
sire everybody has for sleeping. IE
is attributed by some people to an ac-
emulation in the system Of the poi
sonous products of the wear and tear
of the body during the day. There
seems to be some measure of truth in
this, for in many disease the patients
are often sleepless.
Another hypothesis is that the nerve
cells of the brain dwell apart from
each other, as it were, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions Of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations, or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells
are in contact or ready to be in con-
tact, with one another, but the time
occasionally comes, it is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that COM
plete communication between the cells
ceases. The state of body and mind
that follows is what is called sleep.
The most probable explanation Of
sleep, however, is that in some way
or other the internal condition Of the
cells is changed, partly from eXhaus-
ton and partly because of diminished
stimulation from other parts of the
body.

Nothing is more suggestive of the
direction in which we should look to IN
crease our trade than the fact that in

with total Of 19,204,SS9 tons, while
Shanghai and Singapore hold the ninth

100000 tons each. 1t is to be regretted
that the American flag should have

Think the Gar One-Eared.

The uneducated peasants In the
Cherson province Of Russia have an
extraordinary belief that the czar has
only one ear. They are confirmed in
their belief by pictures and photo
graphs of the car showing side face
view, and naturally exhibiting only
one ear. They account for the absence
of the other in the following manner:
Some time ago a deputation from
their province waited upon the car
and in the course Of the meeting the
car is said to have stated that all
Russian land would be divided equally
among the peasants Of the various dis
tricts.
To this one of the deputation boldly
said:
'As sure as you can not see your
own ears you will not divide the
land"
The cars reply to this was to cut
off one Of his (the cars ears, which
he placed upon the table, remarkine
as he did so:
LAS surely as l now see my ear
will divide the land"
TO this day the Cherson peasants
firmly believe that he has only one ear,
and unless the car visits them in per-
son and proves to them by optical
demonstration that he possesses the
correct number this extraordinary be-
lief will not be shaken.

You have no enemies? Then you
have never dared to stand up for the
right against wrong, you have never
protected the weak against a bully, you
have never even dared to defend your
own rights against oppression. Had
you done any Of these things you would
have made enemies. Even if you had
zone none Of these things, but simply
achieved little more success in your
business than did your neighbor, you
would have an enemy, for failure al
ways hates success. The man who has
no enemies should be ashamed Of it.

WORTH MEASURED BY MONEY

ting American Life.
It is too much the fashion In this
country Of rapidly developing wealth
to measure success by a mercenary
standard, to estimate the worth and
abilities Of men by the amount Of
money they accumulate. Drawing a
contrast between the kind Of men who
once attracted attention on the streets
of New York and those who are now
pointed out as the important person
ages, Father Ducey says:
To-day the question is: do you
see that man across the street? Well,
he is worth $5O,OO0,0OO. Do you see
$100,OO0O 00-made last week in Wall
street" 1t is old money bags on all
sides. Never is the man Of intellect,
the sayant, the critic, the literateur
about the lawyer, the doctor, even the
clergyman, of to-day is: What fee did
he get? Lawyer So-and-So got $780,
600 for obtaining Mrs Blanks divorce.
DR.. So-and-So got $4,000 for a vermi-
form appendix operation Never an
allusion to the learning Of the lawyer
or the skill Of the surgeon in the oper-
alton. Even priests of God talk about
the income Of the parish, instead Of
the influence they are welding"
The spirit Of materialism seems to
be uppermost. Commercialism is the
altar at which there is too much ar
dent worship. The developer Of wealth
is useful; the mere money getter is of
little benefit to anybody, and is in no
sense an inspiring picture or a model
to be initiated. Recently DR.. Hadley
Of Yale declared:
"There is no danger that the coun-
try will even feel the lack of money
makers. What we do need to fear is
the possibility Of a lack of public spir-
tied men who thipk not Of themselves
first. History, whatever is studied in
school, is intended to broaden the mind
and sympathies. This spirit is grow
ing in this country. We want men
who stand for ideals, who make life
worth living"
We believe this spirit is growing
will grow as we grow older as a ma
ton and as civilization advances. We
are living and have been living in
period Of notwithstanding, of money
making, Of industrialism and CONNER
cialism in which have grown I'D colos-
sal fortunes through the DEVELOPMENT
of the enormous natural advantages of
this wonderful country. In such
period Of industrialism success is ant
to be measured by individual wealth Of
earning capacity. But we shall come
more and more to understand and an
preciate the true standard; to estimate
men, not in dollars and cents, but ac
cording to their real worth. The
worlds greatest benefactors have been
men who lived and died poor in ma
teria2 wealth. The scholar, the patriot
the statesman, the artist, the scientist
the teacher, the moral eXemplar, these
in the greatness Of their work, make
the mere money grubber seem meanly
small. There is too much worship of
wealth, but it is not universal. and
wealth itself is poor and feeble as COM
pared with the power Of thought and
the spirit which moves men to work
toward the highest human IDEALS

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell was
characterized by President Eliot of
Harvard, as the one who had given
speech to the deaf and enabled the
listening ear to hear speech across
thousand miles" With the completion
this year of new lines from Denver
to Kansas City and Omaha, there will
be unbroken telephone connection be-
tween New York and San Francisco,
5000 miles. This line, however, will
not carry speech from ocean to ocean.
The message must be repeated. The
man in New York could not hear the
man on the Pacific end Of the wire, be-
cause the wire is not large enough.
theoretically, it is possible to tele-
phone to China, but the wire would
have to be copper rod the size Of
q mans thumb. Even with small wire
long-distance telephones are very cost
ly, and pay for themselves largely by
the short-distances uses along the line.
1t would not pay to have a telephone
wire from Boston to Chicago if the
only use of the line were to carry the
thousandmile message in other words,
If intermediate cities, Albany, Buffalo,
Cleveland, were not talking with each
other over the same line. That is why
long-distance telephony has been SO
slow in developing thinly settled
States, and why telephony across the
Atlantic is at present commercially
impossible.

BABY-CARRYlNG DEVICE.
Puts the Bulk of the Weight on the

Nearly all the civilized nations as
well as the savage tribes, have some
characteristic manner Of carrying the
infant which is far superior to that
which Is generally followed in this
country, namely, of embracing the
child in such a manner that its weight
falls principally on the hands and
lrms of the nurse or parent. The

Singular Happening IN u Paris shop
Which PrsoipitRted a Renark-
able Battle.

There was an extraordinary occur
renee recently in cheesemonger' q
shop 10 the Avenue Parmentier, Paris
relates PearsOn's Weekly. One of the
tradesman's customers, who had in
vited FIVE friends to dinner, had pur-
chased a large cheese, and when it
was cut into the stump of half
smoked cigar was found in the mid
die. The host and his guests marched
round III body to the chees semonger
to demand an explanation and the
return OF the money or the substitu-
tion of another cheese, but the trades
man refused all three propositions,
and even suggested that they ough.
to be satisfied, as they had not only
the cheese, but half cigar as we'll.
One of the guests then threatened
to report the cheesemonger for sell
ing toDucco without permission. High
words followed and at length the
customer picked up the offending
cheese and hurled it with correct
aim at the dealers head. A regular
battle ensued. The shopkeeper was
backed up by his wife and three as
sistants and the customer by his
friends. The counter was piled with
cheeses of various kinds, and these
were converted at once into missiles.
while the butter also came in handy.
The uproar attracted the attention OF
policeman, who arrived just as
large Dutch cheese crashed through

chest. When the officer had recoy-

LOBSTER CLIMBS TRRES.
Inland Sea Captures OF the East In
dia IslanAs That Are Fond Of
CocOanuts.

In the East Indian islands is found a
curious lobster which climbs trees. AL
though it prefers home on Land it at
times feels longing for the water,
where it goes to moisten it's gills; and
here the eggs are laid, and the young
are raised on the coast, where they
have the benefit of salt air, always
good for children. But most OF their
time is spent inland living AT the roots
of trees where they have burrowed
deep hollows which they carpet lux
uriously with tibers stripped from CO.
coanuts.
They come out of these homes at
night to climb the palm trees, for al
though it seems funny to US, their
climbing is quite serious business to
them since it is, in this way that they
secure the cocOanuts of which they are
so fond and on which they live princi-
pally.
TO get at the contents of the nut the
lobster first tears away the fiber which
covers the three eyes" You must IL
have noticed those black spots on one
end of cocoanut that makes it look
like the wierd face of monkey.) 1t
hammers away with it's claws at these
spots or "eyes" until hole is made,
when it extracts the kernel by means
of it's smaller pincers. Sometimes af-
ter drilling through the perforated
"eye" it grasps the nut in its claws and
breaks it against stone.
