A Captain of Industry.

A Kansas politician was asked by
his wife to lay aside politics long
enough one day to dig the potatoes in
the garden. He consented and after
digging for few minutes he returned
to the house and said he had found a
coin. He washed it off and it proved
to be silver quarter. He put it in
his jeans and went back to work.
Presently he went to the house again
and said he had found another coin.
He washed the dirt off of it and this
time it was silver half dollar. He
put it in his jeans. 81 have worked
pretty hard" said he to his wife. Il

awake he found that his wife had dug
all the rest of the potatoes. But she
found no coins. 1t then dawned upon
her that she had been worked

REAL SPEED OF THOUGHT.
Limited by Rapidly with Which Nerve
System Can Act.

How long does it take to think?
Prof. Helmholtz argues that the whale
probably feels wound near its tail in
about one second, and requires an
other second to send back orders to
the tail to defend itself The reason
why the time occupied by this prep
aration seems to us so infinitesimal
lies in the fact that we are unable to
perceive more quickly than our nerve
system can act, and thus the intervals
required for it's operations appear to

vary in their estimation of the mo-

luently repeated. Still more surpris-
ing is the difficulty of determining
whether the beats of two gently tick
ing watches coincide or fall between
each other if held to either ear, while
nothing is easier than the same de-
termination if both are held to the
same ear. Helmholtz pictures the
matter to himself in this way: "The
two perceptions Of different organs
can be estimated only as regards their
time relations, when there is a suffi-
cfent interval between to reflect. Now

as yet the other" Our thought is not

proved by his experiment of taking an
electric shock at any point on his
skin and then trying to move his hand
as quickly as possible.

CLING TO ANCIENT RITES.
Moroccans Still Offer Sacrifices to
Propitiate the Powerful.

A strange custom still exists here.
that of sacrificing live animals to pro-
pitiate those in power. An instance
of it occurred the other day when
three ragged women, yelled, dirty and
poverty stricken, came staggering up
the hill to the flagstaff which stands
in the middle of our camp, half push
ing, half carrying two sheep bound
and helpless. At the foot of our ban
ner staff they laid the beasts down
and sticking a knife into their threats
left them there to die by slow inches.
No cries, no wailing, they huddled to-
gether and sat motionless awaiting
Allah's will. The interpreter inter-
viewed them and discovered that they
were the wives of Moor whom the
new Kaid had imprisoned for the
usual sin-the ownership OF riches.
This brigand plundered everything
and turned the women out to starve.
Hearing of the approach Of Basha-
dor, friend, no doubt, of our lord the
sultan, they came to offer sacrifice
that he might have pity on them.
Alas! nothing can be done, the Kaid
is all powerful, even the sultan is
helpless. Sometimes bullock is
hamstrung on our road. Strange to
say the sacrificed animal cannot be
used for food by the petitioners, but
our escorts profit and drag off the
carcasses with happy grins.-National
Review.
