A Child Wander

The French Academy of Sciences in
1929 examined the case of a French
lad only seven years old who, in all
respects save that of intelligence, was
the equal of a man of twenty. His re-
markable physical development began
when he was two Years old. AT four
he could do the farm work of a boy of
fifteen or sixteen, and at seven he was
a fully grown man. Although his
physique was thus remarkably devel-
oped. his intelligence was no greater
than that of children of the same age
He died before he was twenty. AS is
usual in such eases of premature de-
yelopment, his strength faded away,
and he became prematurely old before
other men would attain maturity.

The First of Them Was Esta b lished
In Paris In 1765.
For a long time inns and eating
houses in France were only intended
for the benefit Of travelling people, for
the people took their meals at home
and restaurants were unknown. The
first enterprise of the kind was found
ed in Paris in 1865. A citizen by the
name Of Boulanger opened in the Rue
des Poulies an eating house where
soup, meat, fowl and eggs were serv-
ed. A chronicler relates that meals
were served there on small, round
marble tables and everything was scru-
pulously clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
house the proprietor had hung a sign,
upon which were the Latin words, We
mite ad me omnes quae stomacho labo-
rats, ct ego restaurabo vos" Come
unto me all We whose stomachs need
attention. and | will restore themy.
This is a parody on the we'll known
Biblical quotation, Come unto me all
ye who labor and are heavy laden. and
I will give you rest only in place of
labor and heavy laden he said, whose
stomachs need attention" The word
"restaurabo," from the Latin .'restau-
rare" (%restore or refresh), was the
main characteristic Of the new estab-
lishment and gave il its name. Bou-
LANCER amassed a large fortune. for
his enterprise proved eminently sue
cessful. but he was soon initiated. some
Of his imitators becoming more famous
than he.

THE LIBERTY CAP.
It's Significance Dates Away BACK to
Early Greek Times.

It's Significance Dates Away BACK to
Early Greek Times.
From very early times n of the dis
tinguishing marks of a slave. both in
Greece and oriental countries general
~, was the lack of any covering for
the head, Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the insignia of liberty,
and when slaves We're given their free
dom they We're presented with a cap as
wore a cap of dogskin, and this was
reckoned a badge of se%rvitude, but
upon gaining their freedom this was
replaced by a cap of a different ma
terial, Of another shape and ornament
ed with flowers. A similar custom
was observed in Rome. where the pres
entation Of the pileus, or cap, was al
ways a part of the ceremony of manu-
hitting a slave; hence arose the prov
erb, "Servos ad pileum vocare." Also
on medals the cap is the symbol of lib
erty and is usually represented as be-
ing held in the right hand by the point.
When a cap was exposed to the peo-
pies view or the top of a spear, as in
the case of the conspiracy against Gaze
sar, 1t was intended as a public invi-
tation to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them. The Goddess
of Liberty on Mount Aventime was
represented as holding a cap in her
hand as a symbol of freedom. The
Jacobins wore a red cap during the
French revolution, and in England a
blue cap with a white border is used
as a symbol of liberty. The custom
which prevails among university stu
dents of wearing a cap is said to have
had its origin in a wish to signify that
the wearers had acquired full liberty
and were no longer subject to the rod
of their superiors.

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece OF mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, flattens the head. pierces
the eye, then sharpens the tiny instru-
ment and gives it that polish familiar
to the purchaser. There is also a ma

TIE TROUBLE WITH CUBA

consideration the merits of the
dispute between the Cuban insur-
gents and President Palma, the
discouraging feature OF The situation
in Cuba is tie fact that the govern
ment will not fight for its existence.
1t is evident that the adninlstra-
ton has no proper conception or its
dignity and responsibility.
Cuban ideas OF government do not
rise above the factional ~phase-the
notion that the government faction
has no standing superior to the rev
olutionary faction except as it may
maintain it's superiority by srms.
The Cuban, in other words, does not
understand a government of the
whole people, but a government
conducted by the crowd that happens
to be uppermost. an election sipn,-
fies nothing if the defeated can get
together enough men and ammuni-
tion to run the victorious out of
Office.
1t is the acq%uiescence in this the
cry by the Palma administration
which has cause d theexistirg trouble.
President Palma apparently has no
idea that his official duty requires
him to maintain the central author
ity to the last man and the last dol
lar at HE disposal. He deems the
situation a mere matter OF partisan
dispute, in which the insurgents
have equal standing with the govern
ment.
This is shown by the fact that he
does not go out and fight them-or
chase them, since they do not fight.
he permits them to rob henroosts
and pillage plantations without let
or hindrance. He issues proclama-
tions and Eliminates denunciations,
but 1T is all in the style Of an equal
addressing equals, rather than a
chief OF a state waning rebels that
they are mourning the penalties OF
treason.
There has been no real fighting in
Cuba during the present "reyolu.
tion." There never has been any
real fighting in Cuba except when
the forces Of Spain and Of the United
States met e Santiago. The
Cuban swashbuckler talks much but
fights little, as Gen. Shafter found
out when he relied upon Garcia's
braves, who composed the "army Of

Washington, March l2.--High off
GERS of the army say the promotion OF
Colonel Bubb to the rank Of brigadier
general to succeed General Carr does
not necessarily mean that he will be
assigned to command the department
Of Dakota. There are other military
departments without heads, among
them the departments Of Texas and the
gulf. There are several general officers
in the Philippines, more than are really
needed, according to military experts,
and there is a possibility that one OF
them will be sent to command the de-
partments of Dakotas. This is regarded
as one of the best assignments in the
United States and there are always
| officers Of brigade rank anxious to Sc
cure it.
4 General Carr, before his retirement,
recommended to the war department.
that the regulations regarding the issue
/ of fur and blanket-lined overcoats to
troops in cold climates be amended to
include .teamsters, overseers, mechan-
les. etc. and to include all troops serv-
n inc at posts where the temperature
falls to 20 to SO degrees below zero.
The general staff Of the army consid-
cred the recommendation and concurred
IN the first part of it, 50 that in future
the outside workers at army posts IN

FOR A TwlTcHINe HAND.
It Is Said That the GrappIe Swing Will
Cure the Trouble,

Cure the Trouble.
Hand trembling, an affection akin to
writers cramp," is apt to result from
the long continued exercise of certain
muscles and the neglest of others.
The worst feature of the trouble, ac-
cording to Health Culture, is it's trick
of coming on at the very time when
steadiness of hand would be most de-
sirable. The twitch of a map-finish-
er's muscles may throw a national
frontier 100 miles out of treaty lines;
type words may get glued together like
the nouns of the Volapuk craze.
Hot baths afford only temporary re-
lief; drugs might as we'll be prescribed
to sufferer; but there is one never
falling mechanical specifc-the crap
pie swing cure.
Procure couple of iron rings-say,
five inches in diameter-and fasten
them high enough to keep an expert
menter's feet on the ground when he
attempts to dangle by one hand for a
second or two. Practice will rise his
score to half minute, and by that
time the tremors will have vanished
for the next half year.

The home inspection work as be-
gun this season by the Northwestern
Stockgrowers' association is already
beginning to bear fruit and Chief In.
spector Brainerd at the Chicago stock
yards has announced that in future
he would not attempt to stop estrays
for any one who was in sympathy
with home inspection. So far, Will
lam Moses, the live stock detective
for the association in this section,
has prevented the shipment Of several
head of cattle which were about to
be shipped unlawfully to the Eastern
markets. In some instances he had
only to call the shippers attention to
the fact that the cattle were estrays,
but in one or two cases protests were
entered and he was compelled to
quote the law, which is to the effect
that no one can ship cattle not be-
longing to him without written au-
thority from the owners of the same.
The association is determined to stop
the unlawful shipment of cattle and
seems to be quite successful.
