The Ostrich's Appetite.

Everybody has noticed what an ex-
traordinary appetite the ostrich has.
1t seems to eat anything-stones. jew
elery, hardware, pennies; in fact, all
manners of odds and ends. So folk
say of people able. apparently, to feed
on anything that they have the diges-
tion of an ostrich. But, as Mrs. Annie
Martin points out, the queer mixture
which the creature swallows Is neces.
sary to prevent 1t from having bad
digestion. They are, in short, the
teeth, or millstones, which grind its
food, only. instead of being in its
mouth, they are placed in it's stomach
Every cage bird picks up grains of
sand for the same purpose, thus doing
on tiny scale what the ostrich does
on a very large one.

How Helen Keller "Sees."

Think of one blind and deaf from
early childhood who finds the world
"alive, ruddy, and satisfying" That is
Helen Keller's own expression; and
certainly it is unique and important
human document which is promised in
her essays on "Sense and Sensibility,"
the first to appear in the February
Century. Here she tells, to the world
for the first time, how she secs" and
hears:
How can the world be shriveled
when this most profound, emotional
sense, touch, is faithful to its service?
I am sure that if fairy bade me
choose between the sense of sight and
that of touch, l would not part with
the warm, endearing contact of human
hands or the wealth of form, the no.
bility and fullness that press into my
palms."

What Becomes of the Coke?

A teacher was explaining to her
class the various ways in which gas
is obtained.
Much of the gas we use is. ex-
tracted from COAL" she said, "and
after the gas has been taken out. the
coal becomes coke. In some parts of
this country gas is obtained by
boring deep holes in the ground and
such gas is called natural gas"
"Does the natural gas come from
the fires down in the bad place." in

what does Satan do with all the coke
he has left?"

Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the
cause of economic reform has been in no wise
abated by the panic which he and his kind did
SO much to bring on, is out with an answer to
President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana The publication of this an
swer, it is officially given out, was delayed sew
eral weeks, "for business reasons" because it
was not deemed advisable to further excite
the public mind, which was profoundly dis
turbed by the crisis. Now that the storm
clouds have rolled by, however, the Commits
sioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points
in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as
presented by President Moffett, were (D that
the date of six cents on oil from Whiting to
East st. Louis has been issued to the Standard
Oil Company as the lawful rate by employees
of the Alton, (2) that the 1S-cent rate on file
with the Interstate Commerce Commission was
class and not a commodity rate, never being
intended to apply to oil, (3) that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting
and East st. Louis over the Chicago & East
ern Illinois at Ga cents per hundred pounds,
which has been filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission as the lawful rate, and (4)
that the 1S-cent rate on oil was entirely out of
proportion to lawful rates on other commodi-
ties between these points of similar char
acter, and of greater value, such, for example,
"
eight cents. President Moffett also stated that
thousands Of tons of freight had been sent by
other shippers between these points under
substantially the same conditions as governed
the shipments of the Standard OIL Company.
This defence of the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exert
ed powerful influence upon the public mind.
Naturally the Administration, which has
staked the success Of its campaign against
the trusts" upon the result Of its attack upon
this company, endeavors to Offset this infiu-
ence. and hence the new deliverance of Com.
missioner Smith.
We need hardly to point out that his rebut-
tai argument is extremely weak, although as
strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would
warrant. He answers the points made by Presi-
dent Moffett substantially as follows: W The
Standard Oil Company had traffic department,
and should have known that the six-cent rate
had not been filed, (2) no answer, (3) the Chi
cago &c Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate
because 1t read, not from Whiting but from
Dolton, which is described as "a village OF
about 1900 population Just outside Of Chicago.
Its only claim to note is that 1t has been for
many years the point of origin for this and
similar secret rates" The Commissioner ad-
mits In describing this rate that there was a
note attached stating that the rate could also
be used from Whiting
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement OF the Commissioner Of Corpora
tions as conclusive refutation Of what is evil
IDENTIFY recognized as the strongest rebuttal
argument advanced by the Standard.
In fact, It is as weak and inconclusive as the
remainder Of his argument The lines OF the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois do not rum into

One Thousand Men Employed.

That the lock and dam being built
at Hale's Bar, this county, is a great
enterprise is beyond question, and
the statement is now made that one
thousand men are employed ON the job.
The government permits the employ
ment of laborers on government work
only eight hours a day, and as the
work is kept up constantly except Sun
days, three shifts of men working
eight hours each shift, keeps the work
pushing rapidly. Thus the govern
ment's eight hour regulation works to
the benefit of the working men, for in
stead of employing two gangs working
ten or twelve hours, three gangs work.
ing eight hours are employed. which
means an employment of nearly third
more men. Everything about the
work is reported running very smooth
ly, although the rainy weather of last
week hindered to some extent. Elec-
tricity will be generated there about

steep bank into the bed of the stream
in order to cross. Last week one acct
dent was caused by the steep descent
when A. j. Lawson started down with
a load of lumber The suddenness of
the descent caused it to slide forward
and in trying TO stop it and manage
his team at the same time. Mr.. Law
son was thrown off and received many
severe bruises laying him up for few
days. The old ford was fenced up
some two years ago. so there is no
chance TO use it. Very probably a Sc

then look out for damages.
