Only few years it was customary to associate Mr.

Mr.. Fitch turned out four plays and the public turned

VIOLATING pasTAa LAWS

The practices OF violating the post
Ill laws by writing on the Inara!n of
newspapers and ia packages OF third
| or fourth class mail matter has be-
come so prevalent that the author
| tiles are exercising unusual vigilence
/ to stop it. In many cities every
package is now opened to see y IL
contains any writing and AS result
a large number of people have been
| fined ten dollars apiece for every case
of infraction. Probably j in many
| instances people break the law be-
cause Of misunderstanding, but the
post office authorities are acting on
the OLD legal rule that ignorance
of the law does not excise violation
of the law, and no exemption is
made on the ground of ignorance.
But many other people violate the
law knowingly and it betrays
curious idea of moral ethics and OF
pecu liarity of conscience. business
men who are the soul OF honor in
their business relations with indiVid-
uals and who would revolt at the
mere suggestion Of cheating them,
have no scruple in knowingly cheat
ing Uncle Sam They fail to see
that the principal involved is the
same i'm one case as the other.
Then, too, there are people who !
seem to think the government lair
game to get the best Of at any OPP
pOrtunity, and who positively re-
joice if they can bea t it to the extent |
OF a cent stamp. They are the same
people who feel Il glow OF triumph |
if they can get the better OF q rail-
road company by stealing free ride
In addition to the moral s e
of the question there is also the
financial to be considered. The post
office department has done consider
able for the people in the cheapening
of postage and in the establishment
of rural free delivery routes, and
each year the department has to
face deficit. The amount that any |
one transgressOr OF the postal laws |
may cheat the government out OF
in the course of Il year,is d0pOtless
very small, but the aggregate OF the
amounts of all who thus violates
the law must be great and it helps |
to make the deficit.

STARS ON COINS AND FLAG.
Little ReraIdry Lore Shown in the
Five and Six Points.

Little ReraIdry Lore Shown in the
Five and Six Points.
The stars on the great seal and the
seal of the president Of the United
States are five pointed, while on the
seal of the house of representatives
they are six pointed The thirteen
stars on the diverse of the present
half and quarter dollar are five point
ed The reverse of the present half
and quarter dollar is a copy of the
great seal, except that the clouds are
omitted. 1t is evident that heraldry
has not taken a very strong hold IN
these matters in the United Staes,
therefore it is not in the power OF
any one to say without a doubt why
the difference in the stars On the
flag and the coins. So far as is known,
with the exception of the reverse of
the present half and quarter dollar, the
stars on American coins are copied
from the colonial coins, which were,
no doubt, made after the manner OF
English heraldry, while the flag was
made up after the design of Washing
toms coat of arms, containing three
five-pointed stars.

Will Not Leave Switzerland

Zone reason that the imported laces
will always hold good is that the
Swiss workmen, who are most expert,
will not live in this country" said D.
e, SchWab. while domestic manu-
facturers can do right well in copy
they cannot turn out the fine finish.
"The Swiss workmen live content
on a small wage, and with their fami-
lies and relatives about them they
are happy But in this country it is
different; they don't stay long. The
importation of these lace manufac-
turers has been tried often, brit with
out success"

CAUSE OF LEAVES TURNING.
1t is Not Frost, Although it is an
Opinion Extremely Common.

1t is Not Frost, Although it is an
Opinion Extremely Common.
The common idea regarding autumn
coloring is that frost causes the bril-
liant color of the leaves This popular
fallacy is without any foundation In
fact, for frost has absolutely nothing
whatever to do with tinting the leaves,
except that it hastens their fall.
Let those who do not believe this
statement go out in the swamps two
weeks or even a month before frost
and they will find occasional naples
as scarlet as they ever are seen IN
September of October.
It is curious fact that young trees
are the first to turn red. Autumn
coloring is actually due to oxidation,
which is caused by the action OF light
and heat, somewhat similar to the
rust on iron. With leaves it is due
to the fact that in fulfilling their mis-
sion they become checked by their
own exertions and the acids thus
formed are acted on by the oxygen.
In extremely moist atmosphere the
colors are not usually very bright, as
in England, for example. And in
very dry climates the leaves dry up
suddenly and their skin, which is very
thick to prevent the escape OF moist
ure, is not sufficient transparent to
allow the color being seen beneath. In
the regions where the autumn foliage
is most vivid an average season pro-
duces the finest colors. Neither a
very dry nor very wet summer and
early autumn will result in much
brilliancy.
/. The extraordinary range OF colors in
trees of a single species is noticeable,
| particularly so with the sugar naples,
| and it is remarkable that an individual
| tree will continue the same color year
after year; not only that but the same
color year after year.

RS NO LONGER GOOD FORM.
People in High Society Say Append

People in High Society Say Append
citis Is Vulgar Disease.
The fashionable valetudinarian is
threatened with a distinct bereaye-
ment Appendicitis has been declared
to be bad form, and those who wish TO
preserve true social eminence must
on no account suffer from 1t. There
was a time when only the educated
suffered from appendicitis, because
only the educated knew the anatoml-
cal position of the appendix, but IN
these days of vulgar equality even the
washerwoman knows where to put her
finger when she is asked where the
pain is.
AS result the supergilded must
find a new disease into whose domain
the great unwashed have not yet
found their way.
An Eastern scribe has made lnqul-
ries from prominent physicians and
the worst rumors are confirmed. one
authority admits that but few opera
tions are now necessary and that we
are clad to send our patients from the
surgical to the medical ward, where
hot lamentations and milk diet are
prescribed"
A we'll known nursing sister SAID
frankly that appendicitis s become
questionable, and she added unklnd-
ly that fashions in the medical world
vary as much as in the show rooms or
stylish dressmaker. A well known
surgeon admitted that appendicitis
has followed the example of all fash
ionable crazes and is dying natural
death, and for no other reason than
that the laundry lady has dared TO
initiate tho duch ass.
Needless to say, | am not aliudln2
to genuine cases Of the disease, but
because the fashionable illness has
been pronounced questionable the
large contingent Of hysterical patients
have turned their attention to the crea-
ton of some new complaint"

Their Only Thought.

"It's very queer" said Popley, that
when people get rich they either have
no children or they don't seem to care
for them"
That's not strange" said Wise.
"When people get rich they can't think
about anything but their ancestry;
Eosterity doesn't bother them"

Bird Builds Nest in Clock,

Occasionally one sees a small crowd
congregated at the corner of Balti-
more and Light streets gazing intently
up at the old clock frame that still
stands there as a relic of the fire.
An enterprising bird has built it's
nest in the part where the top of the
column joins the lock face.
1t has a secure home and seems
to live quite undisturbed by the clat"
ter and hustle of Baltimore's busiest
street.
