POLES HATE GERMANS.
Because They Are the Kindred of
oppressors of Their Brethren
- in Prussia.

In Austria the Poles are friendly to
the government in a measure. but hope
lessly at variance with the German and
Ruthenian elements in the population
of the dual monarchy, says the New
York World. The Germans they hate
with bitter hatred, as the kindred Of
those who Cypress their brethren in
Prussia. The Ruthenians are also a Slay
race, inhabiting the Bukovina province
but between Ruthenian and Pole there
has sprung up an enmity which is diff
cult to understand, but which is never
theless powerful factor in Austrian
politics Between CIacow, the capital
of Austrian Poland, and Posen and War
saw there is constant communication.
and 1t is generally believed that the pro
vincial wire-pullers are in Cracow.
What prospect have the Poles of real
izing the grand dreams of nationality I?
So long as Germany, Austria and Rus
STA remain strong enough to crush them
their prospects are of the gloomiest. Ii
is quite likely that any one of these
three powers would willingly cooperate
with the others were it needful. in
crushing Polish insurrection. The
Polish leaders, besides, with all their
brilliant gifts, are not statesmen. They
are enthusiastic patriots, if you like, but
they are too easily swept by waves of
sentiment, and, while eagerly engaged
in attending to the minor questions of
the present, are neglecting the consid-
Grafton of the vast problems which their
nation will have to solve in the future.
But one mission the Poles have. They
are passionate friends of freedom. Stu
ated as they are between the most retro
grade states of Europe, Prussia. Russia
and Austria, they will help to keep alive
this great idea and help to make the
cause of freedom loved by their neigh
bors. This process is at work TO-DAY
1t is seen at work in Berlin. in Paris in
London, in Vienna, even in st. Peters.

dream which can never be realized

DOGS ON TROLLEY WIRES.
Eastern Chicken Raisers Use Savage
Animals TO Protect Their
Henneries.

No limit is there TO the ramifications
in the improvements of trolley systems.
Up at Cheswick, on the West Penn rail
road, the jealous guardian OF hen
roost has placed watchdogs on trolleys,
reports the Pittsburg Dispatch
When the double-barreled shotgun,
the trusty rife, tho snare pistol the
deadfall, the midnight scarecrow and
the rabbits foot failed to brighten of
chicken thieves the faithful bulldog and
the rafting trolley served in garrisoning
an impregnable fortress against the
incursion Of marauders.
OF course this trolley line is no cleo
trio system, but it is not far-fetched
expression to say that there is formid-
able power house. This is dog kennel
where nine man-eating bulldogs are
housed.
When marauder approaches the pen
the dog on sentry duty on that particu-
lar side Of the hennery leaps up and sal
lies forth along the wire to which he is
chained. He can follow the line of the
wire for 100 yards, but cannot leave his
pathway
| Robert Jefferies rules the Cheswick
roost and the trolley scheme is his own
invention. Last spring he went up there
and cleared off Is acres and built half
a dozen nice, coy henhouses. He
bought 1900 hens and soon was collect
ing 100 dozen eggs a day.
They were big, fat birds, and it is not
surprising that they appeared tempting
in the eyes of those citizens of Cheswick
who had no scruples as to obtaining a
chicken dinner without going through
the formality OF buying the pullets in
the market.
Mr.. Jefferies soon discovered that he
was not getting quite 100 dozen eggs g
day, and thought it was the fault of the
hens. One day he took census of his
flock and discovered that number Of
fine birds were missing.
The nights were dark and each morn
ing more chickens failed to show up al

and placed man on guard, but The
grounds were so large that thief woulC

How Muscle works

Or. Covers compares contracting
muscle to a gas engine. In the muscle
before it contracts the atoms are held
apart "by interatomic notion" When
a stimulus acts on the fibers the atoms
suddenly form closer compounds. by
means OF oxygen, the fibers shorten ana
broaden, and the whole muscle con.
tracts
1--WE do not know how this concentra,
ton of the energy released is effected;
but we can see its analogy when coal gas
mixed with air is exploded in the cylin-
der of a gas engine" The spark there
furnishes the stimulus which produces
atomic change. The materials combin-
ing in this chemical reaction are finally
used up, and no more contractions can be
secured until the muscle has rested, and
collected new supply OF fuel-N. Y.

THE suburban train No. 445, which lie
due to leave our station at 1923 a. M,
did not leave until 1888 this morning, "
said Mr.. Thompkins.
This is an art store and not rail

"The cook did not get home until one
o'clock this morning." continued Mr..
Thompldns, 'and as result breakfast

the proprietor OF the store to come to her
rescue. The proprietor walked up. Mr.,
Thompkins turned to him and said:
THE elevators throughout the build
ing worked badly yesterday, and the jan
itor on our floor did not sweep the cor
ridors."
Where do you think you are?" asked
the proprietor, gently. Don't you want
to come back in my Office and lie down on
the sofa for awhile?"
Mr.. Thompkins pointed to placard
that hung In front Of the cashiers desk.

Another messenger boy appeared and
behind him another, and the face Of
still one more appeared at the door
The first boy eagerly called to the later
arrivals to approach
'De ole guy is BATS" he whispered,
hoarsely, clean dippy."
Say, mister" said the first boy to
Mr.. Thompkns, "if you got enuff mes

There is nothing specified here as to

Another boy took him in the back He
went down with crash and women in
the store screamed and clerks and floor
walkers came rushing up as the messen-
ger boys piled enthusiastically on top
OF Mr.. Thompkins, and one OF them
grabbed him by the ears and bumped
his head on the floor Mrs. Thompkins
tried to fight them off with her parasol,
but a clerk restrained her. Finally po-
liceman appeared and dragged Mr..
Thompkins away from the messenger
boys. Mr. Thompkins attempted to tell
his story, but the boys insisted on telling
theirs first.
