and Public Generosity

''It is an interesting fact also that we
come at moment in which private be-
nefcence and. public generosity have
joined hands in the larger work of edu-
cation 1t is absurd to tell us that the
factor Of individuality can be dispensed
with for in all Socialistic movements

What promises to be most inter
esting game is the one between the
Starr Pianos and the East Ravens,
scheduled this afternoon at the East
Haven diamond. The teams stand res
pectively first and second in the City
League race. The Cast Ravens have
been coming at a fast rate the past
two weeks and they claim that today
they will put crimp in the perfect
percentage the STAIRS have. As the
Hospital boys are coming a little to
close for comfort the Piano men will
try their best to shove them back in
to the ruck.
The Palladiums VIII tackle the Pan
Handles at Athletic park this after
noon. The game will be called at 2
o'clock. The Printers will sport their
new suits, which arrived Wednesday,
and they are deDnding on them to
break the hoodoo which has been at
their heels since the first of the sea-
son. Two of the star pitchers Of the
league, White and Ridge. will face
each other in this game. At 4 o'clock
on the same diamond the Pogue-Mil-
lers and the Kibbeys will play.

On the Evidence.

Murray F. Tuley, who gave twenty
FIVE years of continuous service as
Judge Of the circuit court In Chicago.
was noted for the strict impartiality
with which he rendered decisions. even
when his personal bias was strongly
the other way. On one occasion, hav-
ing heard a certain famous suit, he
found himself impelled to hand down
a decision repugnant to his own incli-
nation.
"Do you mean you think the defend.

BABIES IN ARABIA.
Their Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving of Heads.


Shaving of Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies Of Arabia, especially for
those who are Of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs of their race A royal
baby's first toilet there consists in
winding a bandage about it's body aft
er it has been carefully bathed and per-
fumed.
If the child be girl, on the seventh
day of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods Of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved, and the disposal of the hair is
regarded as a very weighty matter. 1t
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks turning point
In the child's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but now it may
be seen by anybody and is regarded as
fairly launched on the tide Of existence.
Several charms are attached to its body
for protection against the "evil eye !"
Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered at night with jasmine
and before it Is used fumigated with
amber and musk and sprinkled with
altar of roses.

Water.

Water is fluid simply because its
particles, which may be compared to
an aggregation of infinitesimal pearls.
are kept separated by latent heat. Out
side heat applied to vessel containing
water causes the latent and applied
heat both to act on the air contained in
the water. Under such conditions pure
water at sea level will boil at a TEN
perature of PIP degrees F. IL the
barometer pressure be thirty inches.
If, however, the vessel containing this
same water be carried to the top of a
high mountain or put under the ex-
hausted receiver OF ar air pump 1t will
boil before 1t reaches the temperature
Of 212, because the atmosphere has
been taken away 80 as to allow the air
contained in the water to escape be-
fore it becomes sufficiently heated to
impart that quality to the loose parti
cles Of water surrounding it. At a
height Of $4,000 feet on the sides Of
the Himalaya mountains water boils
at temperature of $50 degrees and
under the exhausted receiver OF the
air pump at only ~ degrees. This
proves that boiling water Is not always
equally hot It also tells as why it Is
next to impossible to cook meat, vege-
tables. etc, In high attitudes by the
ooiling process.

The Fears and Superstitions of Some
Famous Men.
All great people have had their fol-
lies, which is another way of saying
that all have their weak points. Dr.
johnson, with all his philosophy, was
not without a superstition. He was
very careful not to enter a room with
his left foot foremost. If by any
chance he did SO he would Immediately
step back and re-enter with his right
foot foremost. He was terribly afraid
of death, too, and would not suffer 1t
to be mentioned in his presence.
Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts of
thousands of the enemy were but sweet
music, was MORALLY afraid Of the
sound of thunder and always wanted
to get underground to escape the dread.

Marshal SAKE, who loved to look
upon the ranks of opposing armies.
fed and screamed in terror at the sight
of cat.
Peter the Great could scarcely be
persuaded to cross bridge, and when
ever be placed his foot on one he would
cry out with fear. Like the great man
ne was, he tried to overcome his weak
ness, but he was never able to do SO.
And Byron would never help any one
to salt at table. nor would he be halped
himself, and if any salt were spilled he
would Immediately get up and leave.

scarcely a member of the domestic
corps escapes some special duty. The
housemaids assist the pantry maid.
After each course twenty-four silver
plates and countless small silver must
be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry

being put away. Nearly 200 pieces of
engraved crystal ware must be washed

brittle to be hastily handled.-Every-

CONTROL OF ENERGY.

n II Possible For the Human Race
to Avert Extinctionf
The only conceivable way in which
the human intelligence can ever sue
coed in averting the procession Of the
great year" is not by postponing the
Issue, but by reversing the process.
The question is this: While energy is
being dissipated in accordance with
the natural law. can we so manipulate
things as to accumulate energy, max
ing the unavailable available-notwith-
standing the fact that cosmic processes
seem to be essentially irreversible?
Now there Is assuredly no inherent
reason why we should not accomplish
this. 1t is true that hitherto all the
atomic evolution that has been OBJ
served Is atomic disintegration. We
may speak now, indeed, of the analysis
of the elements. But so it was, we
may remember, that the older chem
istry began, and yet analytic chemis-
try was the precursor of synthetic
chemistry. We began by breaking up
compounds, but now we can make
them-can. indeed, make compounds
hitherto unknown in nature. Similar
ly, 1t is more than probable that we
shall ere long learn to achieve the
synthesis of the elements as we'll as
their analysis. No energy is ever lost
Even when the radium atom, itself the
child of the uranium atom, breaks
down and dissipates its energy, ending,
1t Is supposed, as the dull atom of lead.
the original energies are not destroyed.
Why should they not be gathereS up
again and thus again become avail
able? Are matter and energy to go on
their way, ultimately destroying the
human race? For myself. incline to
the view that victory will rest at last

LIZARDS OF BARBADOS.
They Can Change Color and Drop
Their Tails at Will.

~
The green lizards which swarm on
every tree certainly have the hardest
life Of any creatures in Barbados, since
their flesh In so delicate that every
thing eats them which can catch them.
Cats. fowls, birds, monkeys and snakes
all devour the poor lizards, which have
only two methods Of defending them
selves. both very inadequate for the
purpose. One is their power Of chang
ing their color, whereby they can ap-
pear bright green at one moment on
the leaf of an aloe and then dark choc-
olate brown on a piece of damp earth.
II this does not conceal them from
their enemy they drop their tails. The
caudal appendage jumps from the
ground and makes a frantic dance all
by itself, and IL the pursuer Is delud-
ed into seizing 1t the lizard avails it
self of the chance to escape and grow
another tail.
For the rest the poor lizards are
harmless things, with pathetic eyes, in
which turks an expression Of weari-
ness and disillusion, as though they
were as old as the world itself and had
found 1t all vanity and vexation Of
spirit. They are fond of plaintive mu-
sic and will enter at the open windows

ELECTION STRATEGY.

An Incident Of an English Parlia.
mentary Contest.
In the days before the institution Of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord Dundonald,
who refused to give brides, contested
Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of f5 q vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of a history of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive f10.
As comparatively few people had
voted for him, this was not a very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo
ton Lord Dmdonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
dencately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
sNot farthing," was the reply
But, my lord, you gave FLO a head
to the minority at the last election, and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion"
perhaps So" said the clever candi-
date. MY former gift was for their

was by tally sticks. A plain stick was
used. and when man loaned q sum a
stick was broken, and the creditor and
