GUESSING AND
PREDICTING,

A correspondent who protests that
he is not scientist, but who invites
scientific criticism of his statements,
writes to the New York "Herald"
calling attention to the recorded hap
pening of earthquakes at points upon
the opposite side of the earth from
volcanic disturbances and eruptions.
He says that shortly before the
Charleston quake violent upheavals
took place in Greece and China, and
he adds that while Nesuvius was max
ing such a disturbance lately, he
wrote to some friends that he looked
for great earthquake on Our Pacific
coast in the neighborhood of San
Francisco. This he guessed because
straight line from the crater of
Vesuvius through the centre of the
earth would come out near the Queen
City, and he had noted a similar dir
ect action of the volcanic forces in
other cases.
This is curiously interesting but
hardly convincing, for it is not recall
ed that the terrible volcanic outbreak
in Martinique, or the devastating
earthquakes in New Zealand few
years ago, were accompanied, or close
ly followed, by disturbances of the
sort on the opposite side of the earth.
1t may be well worth while, neverthe-
less, to invite scientific attention to all
such statements and suggestions, for
the scientists themselves are evidently
quite in the dark as to quakes and
keen observation and study offer the
only hope of useful enlightenment.
1t may we'll be that t.ere is some
such earthwide recoil of expanding
forces, directly manifest where the
crust itself is volcanic or weak and
diverted or returned where it is
strong.

A SILVER BRIDGE.
Quaint Ceremony That Goes with q
ROumnninn Wedding.

s..
At Roumanian weddings it Is the Gus.
tom at the wedding feast for the
groom to receive his bride over q
bridge of silver.
Coins are placed in a double row
across the table, and over this the
bride daintily steps to her husbands s
waiting arms.
The ceremony of laying the bridge is
one Of the interesting events Of the
wedding feast following the religious
ceremony. When the guests are
brought to proper spirit of festlvity
by the good cheer at the board space
at the head Of the table is cleared and
from a bag are drawn silver coins pro-
cured for the purpose, the proper pro-
vision being the production Of coins
fresh from the mint.
These are laid in double row across
the table, and when all is ready the
father Of the groom makes speech to
his son, admonishlng him to see that
his brides way through life is always
paved with silver.
proper response is made, and,
mounting chair, the elder man swings
the bride lightly to the table. Carefully
avoiding the displacing of coin (for
that would mean bad luck) the girl
makes her way across the short silver
pathway and leaps into the arms of her
spouse.
At wedding feasts where ostentation
Is desired the bridge is built lengthwlss
of the table.

Dry Water,

1T has been so wet for the last three
or four years." remarked Truthful
James, that good many people have
forgot how dry it used to be. remem.
Der one year when the Missouri river
was dusty all the way down from Kan
sas City to the Mississippi. OF course
the river was running all the while.
but the water in 1t got so dry that it
turned to dust and blew away. l took
boat down the river at that time, but
1t was SO dusty ON the boat that you
couldn't see the hind end of 1t when
you was standing on the front end. 1t
was little the worst l ever see. NV
mouth got SO much grit and dust in 1t
that could strike match on the roof
OF 1t any time. One day the boat got
stuck In fifteen feet of Missouri river
water. 1t was SO dry and dusty that
the wheel couldn't turn. What did we
do? Well, sir, we went out and hired
a farmer to haul fresh well water for
fifteen miles to mix with the river wa.
ter until 1t was thin enough to run the
boat through. kansas City Journal.

Exactly SO.

The story is now put forth that
Senator Penrose, in order to avoid
any appearance of bossing, will not be
present at the Republican state con-
vention but will 60 out West on a
hunting trip at the time.
That would be very gracious on
Penrose's part, especially as his priv
ate secretary is state chairman and
would have all the machinery as we'll
in hand with Penrose in Idaho or
Timbuctoo as if Penrose were on deck
at the Lochiel or the Boas Mansion.
Because the Republicans of Penn
sylvania have had the wool pulled
over their eyes many times by a
machine show of reform in extremity,
it does not follow that they are going
to be fooled again; certainly not this
year.
Anyhow, it matters little whom the
machine shall name; the next Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania is going to be a
Democrat.

Meaning of the Word "Omaha. -

The name Omaha" bears testimony
to the long journey of the people and
reveals some of the causes which
brought about this breaking up into
distinct tribes. 1t is composed of two
words, which signify "going against
the current" or up the stream. The
omahas We're the people who went up
the stream, while the Quapaws, their

stream. The traditions of both these
peoples say that the parting occurred
during a hunting expedition, each divi-
sion finally settling in the lands whith-

epochal hunt must have been centuries
ago, for the Quapaws bore their de-
scriptive name in 1910. being men

USEFUL
CITIZENS.

1t is well known that long-con.
tinued employment in the service
of others often cripples originality
and individuality. That resource.
fulness and inventiveness which
come from perpetual stretching
OF the mind to meet emergencies.
or from adjustment of means tc
ends, Is seldom developed to its
utmost in those who work for
others. There is not the same
compelling motive to expand, to
reach out, to take risks or to plan
for oneself, when the programme
is made for him by another.
Our Self-made men, who refus-
ed to remain employees or subord-
mates, are the backbone of the
nation. They are the sinews of
our country's life. They got
their power as the northern oak
gets its strength, by fighting every
inch OF its way up from the acorn
with storm and tempest. 1t is
the hard schooling that the self
made man gets in his struggles to
elevate and make Il place for him
self in the world that develops
him.
Some employees have'a pride in
working for great institution.
Their identity with it pleases
them, But isn't even Il small
business of. your own, which gives
freedom and scope to develop
your individuality, and to be
yourself, letter than being Il per-
petual clerk in large institution,
where you are merely one cog in

Sometimes young women who
have been brought up in luxury,
and who have known nothing of
work, when suddenly thrown up
on their own resources by the loss
of property, or compelled even to
support their once wealthy par
ents, develop remarkable strength
and personal power. Young men,
too, sometimes surprise every
body when suddenly left to carry
on their fathers business unaided.
They develop force and power
which no one dreamed they pos
