Directions For Making Smoke Ring
Box

Directions For Making Smoke Ring
a smoke box means considerable
fun for the boys and girls who
try it.
Make a box out of cardboard or
thick paper as nearly a perfect cube
in shape as possible, say three inches
IN measurement.
Next lay a dime or quarter on one
side of it and trace the outline with
lead pencil. Then cut out hole
along the line.
Then light a wax taper or candle
and hold it under the hole so that
the smoke viii fill the box.
Now, if you hold the box in one
hand, hole uppermost, and tap the
bottom, you can cause tiny but per-
feet and beautiful rings of smoke to
shoot out into the. air.
Some boys have succeeded IN
making a hundred rings from one
boxful of smoke.
See how many you can produce.

Talk ABOUT CARRYING
GOALS TO NEWCASTLE.

Exchange: Those Brownsville
grapes shipped on June 6 are Great
ing a sensation. They beat the
famous California grape to market
by four to six weeks.
Then Brownsville, having such
a decided advantage over California
should press its opportunities to
beat the band. Perhaps if the
Brownsville country, possessing as
it is claimed such fine opportunities
in fine soil and climate and with
its vast canals and irrigation facil-
tiles, could beat California into
market on many other truck and
fruit propositions if she would only
spread herself to her full capacity.
Galveston News
The development of the Browns
vile country has just begun; and
we do not believe any spot on
earth is favored as is this great
garden. Your exchange is correct
in saying that our grapes created
sensation, but the shipment we
had the audacitY to consign to Cali
fornia, jolted the Golden Gate like
an earthquake. The quality of the
Brownsville country grapes is I'M
surpassed, and California takes off
her bonnet to Texas.

The Jointed Snake.

The hoary fable of the joint
snake owes its origin to the pc
culiar facility with which the liz
ard when seized breaks off its tail
and escapes, leaving that member in
the captor's hand. In other words,
the joint snake is not snake at all,
but lizard. It is the slow worm,
known to scientists as Angus fra
gillis, whose long and slim body and
almost invisible legs make it easily
mistaken for a snake, that by its
invariable tendency to snap off its
tail in the spasms of capture has
given us the story of jointed
reptile. But this creature does not
reclaim its discarded appendage
again. It simply grows another in
its place.-Housekeeper.

HIS PRESENT REPUTA-
TTON2

Senator Foraker says the night
was too dark to distinguish whether
the men who shot up Brownsville
were white or black, but he pro-
fesses to believe it more probable
that the people of Brownsville
shot up themselves rather than
that the soldiers did it. The ne
groes of the country can never
repay Senator Foraker for the great
sacrifice of reputation he is making
in their behalf Galveston Daily
News.
Senator Forakers' present re-
putation is of such a dark-brown
color, that it would hardly be fair
to call it sacrifice if he gave it
away or lost it in the Potomac.

The sneezewood Tree.

This queer name is given to Ger
tain tree that is native to Natal and
other parts of South Africa. Work
men cannot saw or plane it without
sneezing, the dust having precisely
the same effect as the strongest
snuff. The wood has bitter taste,
and insects give it a wide berth.
For this reason it is much used for
work that is required to last long
time.

soTFAITSW AND PATRIOTISM.

The action of the Socialist Congress Of France
on "Wednesday on the subject Of patriotism may
be variousIy interpreted On its face 1t was
sjmply reaffirmation of the declaration or last
wears Congress, that it would be the duty OF
French socialists to help in defending the
fatherland should the latter be attacked by an
other power From one point Of view that
WAS commendable and should do much, not per-
hans to commend socialism in general, but at
least 10 defend it from one OF the most serious
criticisms made against it From another ana
equally legitimate point of view there seems
to he little or no credit in making declaration
which every Frenchman should as a matter OF
course always be ready to make The men,
bers of the congress were presumably all
French citizens, enjoying the protection OF the
fatherland. There was no more credit in their
declaring their readiness to protect France
against invaders than there would be in sons
declaring his readiness TO cherish his parents.
From still another point of view. indeed, the
action of the congress or rather the occasion
or need for il, was dscreditable and condemna-
! tory The fact that ii was regarded as neces-
sary to proclaim publicly the fact that all So
cialists were not potential traitors was highly
significant That action would scarcely have
been taken or thought of had it not been felt
that socialists were widely regarded as lack
ing i'm patrotIsm, if not i'm loyalty, and we can
scarcely suppose that such an estimate of them
could have become prevalent without cause. In
deed, the apparent In this very
congress The resolution of loyalty was
adopted. il is true, by the overwhelming vote OF
251 to Al. Yet the minority of II was by no
means negligible. 1t no light thing that
IA per cent of the socialists of France. or their
representatives, publicly recorded themselves
as at least passive traitors.
If was we'll to have the congress thus declare
itself and It would be well TO have socialists
generally in all lands declare definitely their
position on that and other important mat
ters II would be interesting TO know how many
socialists in each country would refuse TO help
defend their country against hostile invasion:
how many are opposed as some OF their leaders
profess 10 be- to the marriage tie and to parental
authority over and responsibility for children,
and how many opposed TO Christianity and
any form of religious worship. There has been
entirely too much Vagueness in definitions OF
socialism and In Foundations of its creed, ever
since Proudhon described it as "every aspira-
ton toward the amelioration OF society" 1t
New-York tribune., 1907-08-17

scarcely be n more offensive act than to ala
rebellion We can imagine what would have
been the sentiment of New York in 1S61-65 If
some European corporation domiciled here had
been found guilty of financing the COnfederacy
There is however, one pertinent point, which
we shall expect 10 carefully considered In
the appeal which il IS assumed will be made TO
the Superior Court of Venezuela. That is the
question whether the aid given TO the insur-
gents voluntarily or invOuntarily- If 1t was
given voluntarily, part of conspiracy De-
tween alien spectators and domestic malcoE-
tents against the Venezuelan government. there
could be little to say in eXculpati0I- But II IL
was given under cOmpulsion as blachmaIi levied
or tribute extorted by bandits. the Venezuelan
government being unable TO give protection
against such outrageS. the case would bear
very different complexion. and the punish
ing of the company for doing something which
the inefficiency of the prosecuting government
left it no alternative but to do would seem I'M
lust. There is still another conceivable eNplana-
tion. In some unsettled countries men or cor
porations have deemed it prudent TO pay tribute
10 both sides in civil strife. in order To assure
ingratiatiOn with the winner. We do not pro-
fesS to know what the facts of the Venezuelan
case are But on the face of il. as thus Tar
revealed we must regret that an American cor
poration has been placed i such position
