Their wealth, their luxury, their cul-
tIvation Of arts which we have not yet
had time to seriously contemplate, their
civilization, their strange class distinc-
tlons, but above ell the great wealth
and the great poverty of their people,
stir our wondering faculties more than
any other things can ever do, When
we behold their wealth we are as poor
children brought suddenly into a rich
child's nursery and lost In astonlsh
ment at the number and profusIon Of
toys strange to us. When we see their
poverty we are Pharisees who thank
God that we arc not as these others

TAMMANY SOCIETY.
The origin OF the Organization In
the Time of Jefferson.

the Time of Jefferson.
Tammany was the heir Of the spirit
Of the Sons of Liberty Of the Revolu
tionary war. 1t was kin In some Of lts
purposes at least to those who were
then beginning the revolution In
France. 1t was enthusiastic In Its sup
port and approval Of that revolution
Indeed a misty legend has been handed
down from generation to generation In
the hall that the suggestion came from
Jefferson himself, who, called from
France to Washington's cabinet, was
panied to see that arlstocracy, English
In its Impulse and fostered by the So
clety Of the Cincinnati, was roofing IT.
self so early In our national life. To
crush that impulse, at least to fetter 1t,
Jefferson gave the hint, and Tammany,
with It's tomahawk, stood facing the
Cincinnati and its sword.
William Mooney, an upholsterer, but,
like many of the mechanics Of that day,
keenly interested in politics, sugge tied
that there be brought together In all as
ISOLATION those who dreaded the arls-
tocracy and who suspected that the
purpose Of Hamilton was to force the
government into something like a lin
tied monarchy. Mooney found good
many mechanics and merchants who
thought as he did, and so common
purpose, the grouping impulse rather
than any cunning planning Of one man
for personal advancement, brought
some Of the ablest political and per-
sonal foes Of Hamilton and Jay togeth-
er, and with some mystery Of oaths
and ritual, the pipe Of peace, the feath-
cred headdress, even the painted face
and leathern costume, with wampum
for its ornament, these men were
bound In one association as the Tam
many society, or Columbian order.

THE OCTOPUS.
IT'S Terrible Army Of Suckers and It's
Powerful Jaws.

Both the octopus and the cuttleash
have arms that are clothed with a
formidable array of suckers which are
wonderful pieces Of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object the central piston, having pre-
viousiy been raised SO as to complete
ly ill the cavity Of the sucker, is at
once withdrawn and q perfect vac
1um produced, explaining the great to-
naclty with which the suckers cling.
They number upward of 100 pairs to
each arm OF the octopus, and once they
obtain a grip on the victim, unless the
arm Is actually torn away from the
body Of the octopus, it Is practically
impossible for Its prey to disentangle
itself.
In addition to these suckers the octo-
pus has q powerful pair of jaws, shap.
ed like the beak Of parrot, behind
which is a formidable armor plated
tongue used as rasping organ. The
octopus will attack and kill crabs and
Holsters Of considerable size, ripping
open the body by means Of Its powerful
Jaws and devouring the contents. In
spite Of being creature Of such awe
inspiring looks the octopus has several
enemies in various species Of whales,
sharks and conger cells. In fact, the
latter are particularly fond Of devour-
ing the smaller octopuses.
Conger eels hunt for the octopus and,
when found, proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, sllmy conger tight, but in
vain, and, finding Its limbs growing
less, discharges Its ink In the face Of
the foe and under cover Of the turbid
water beats a hasty retreat, It Is to
escape the too pressing attention Of
Its foes that the octopus possesses the
power Of changing It's color to CORE
spond with that Of its surroundings.

WHEN WE STAND UPRIGHT.
A Special Complex Mechanism Ena-
bIes Us TO DO II.


A Special Complex Mechanism Ena-
bIes Us to DO II.
We are so accustomed to standing
upright as a natural attitude that few
OF us think what a special complex
mechanism Is required for this pur.
pose. A moments consideration win
show that the ordinary explanation Of
the erect position (the center Of gravi.
ty to be directly above the feetl is In
sufficient. When a man Is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind,
no drops on his face, for the truth 10
that there IL much more weight IN the
front OF the spinal column than be-
hind 1t.
The fact Is that when we are stand
ing large number Of powerful mus
cles Doth front and back are stimuli
taneously at work, the effects Of their
action being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward were
1t not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by tho strong tendon (the
"Achilles'D at the back or the heel.
At the same time tho muscles Of the
thigh are tlghtened so as to prevent us
taking sitting position, and the mus
cles Of the back are pulled tense so that
the trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the llgaments In the nape Of
the neck.
That the upright is not Its normal
position Is easily shown by the fact
that a man mods as he Is falling asleep,
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force Is doadaned the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again with
a jerk when the brain becomes sud
denly aware Of an unusual attitude.

BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom Of Japanese Prior
10 Year GAG A. ID.

Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior
20 Year GAG A. ID.
Prior to the year 040 A. d. the Japa-
nese had one Of the most horrible
burial customs that can be imagined
that of burying all the immediate
friends and retalners Of prince or
other person Of note In a standing po.
sition around the potentate's grave and
leaving them In the earth up to their
necks to perish of thirst and hunger.
The custom cannot be said to have
been general as late as the date given,
for the Japanese records prove that In
the time of the Emperor Suinln (o7-30
b. % the burial rites Of royal person
ages were so modified as to partially
abolish former crueltles. Speaking of
a young brother of Suinln, who died
and had his retinue buried standing
around his grave, the Old record
says: For many days they died not,
bot wept and cried aloud. AT last they
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate off their heads The emperor's
compassion was aroused, and he de-
sired to change the manner Of burial.
When the empress died, soon after, the
mlkado inquired of his officers If some
thing In the way Of change could not
be suggested, and one proposed to
make clay figures Of men and bury
them as substitutes"
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom Ia proved by
an edlct issued In the year GAG A. d.,
the date given first above, which forbid
the burial Of living persons and pro-
vided penalty for further adherence
to the awful rite.-St. Louis Republic.
