4 Supreme Court Against Mob.
 Ay " TKy@~YA q

WashiDgton.--The justices of tho United States Supreme Court have taken counsel together regarding the present day political tendencies in both parties, 50 far as these seem to the Justices to menace the Constftu- tion. They have determined that up on them rests the burden of standing between the Constitution and popular passion. They intend at every point to meet these subversive tendencies and defeat them.
 There is reason to beleive that the late labor decisions of the court are merely the beginning of al seriea~which will confront the innovators at every step. The decisions in question de- clared unconstitutional the employers liability act and the Erdman compul- sorry arbitration act affecting disputes between labor and capital
 The Justices are not confident that Congress can be relied upon to stand permanently between the Constitution and what one of the Justices called 'the mob," and they are determined to fulfil their ancient function of 6 bulwark.
 Supreme Court Justices never hold conferences on political situations. talk over current subjects as others talk over current subjects os others AncJ nANo LtACAN7 ways OA nnaAAB out what is thought by each without formal conferences. In this way they have been talking over the present dangerous situation. as 1t appears to them, and have reached an under standing of one another's views.

 President Roosevelt has proposed that certain laws, recently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court be so changed as to meet the objection of unconstitutionality. Senator La Toilette and others have introduced measures to cure defects of unconsti- tutionality. 1t is extremely improba- ble that any measure which the Su- preme Court regards as of dangerous tendency can pass muster before that bench. no matter how it is amended.

 London, Feb. 1b.--Queen Alexandra win not accompany her royal husoand when he starts for the continent In the near future, not because there is any enhancement between the two, but be- cause the Queen is very anxious to see her sister. the Dowager Empress of Russia. whom the King cannot beF.
 As soon as King Edward. therefore, has left England the mother of the Csar will start from Copenhagen where she has visited her brother. the Kins of Denmark, and there come direct to this country to spend at least couple of weeks at Sandringham, the Queens favorite residence in England. N
 The Dowager Empress of Russia has never been able to forgive her brother fn-law, King Edward. that he warned the Czar against listening to her ad- vice and told him that unless he granted free constitution to Russia he would endanker not only the life of himself but the future of his son.
 Maria Teodorawa who during the life of Alexandra HI was always con- suited in affairs of state. thoroughly believes sn the teachings of the late M Pobedonostseff and 1t has been the great sorrow of her life that Czar Nicholas departed from the policies of his father even if only temporarily. |. She believes that the Russian people are as yet absolutely unable to govern themselves and that a constitutional monarchy in Russia would end tR anarchy.
 The Czar and King Edward on the other side are. and always have been. very friendly. and there is no doubt that if left to himself Nicholas would follow the advice given him by his royal uncle and abolish the autocratic government of which he is nominaIly Nfhe head. If conditions permit he has announced that he will leave Russia late this summer to come to England and spend some weeks hunting instead of being hunted.

STILL HAS FAITH.
Spokane Man Noses Goober Half Block for
Bryan's Sake.

While more than $4,000 changed
hands in Spokane on the result OF
the national election, the highest
price, physically, probably was paid
by Archibald w. Eaton, a conductor
on local street car line, who agreed
with j. a. Reeves, a fellow emplOye,
that in the event of Bryan's defeat
he would use his nose in rolling
q peanut half block in q public
thOroughfare.
Eaton was game, and he did his
little stunt while thousands of pedes-
trians followed his course. He occu-
pied 80 minutes in covering the dis
tance and in propelling along River
side avenue the goober lost most of
the cuticle from his nose.
There were other freaky wagers,
but the one in which Eaton held the
losers end was the limit of endur-
ance. This is the third bet Eaton
has lost on the same candidate, but
he says he is going to get even with
some one four years hence.

Peppermint and Tobacco.

If you have a boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
to cure of the habit, feed him pepper
mints. DR.. o. Clayton Jones of Sill
veton. England, writing in the Lon
don Lancet, is authority for this SIM
pie cure. DIR. Jones writes: ITO
break the smoking habit in youth
there is nothing better than pepper
mint drops. He cannot smoke with
a 'bullseye' in his mouth, and even
for some time Gfter it is dissolved to-
bacco will not lend kindly with the
taste that remains. Socially the cure
may seem worse than the disease,
but from q medical point of view the
sucking of pepperment is far less
hurtful. A common 'bullseye' will
prevent smoking for nearly an hour,
so the amount of sweets used need
not be great"

A Musical Spider.

The extraordinary musical sensi-
tiveness of spiders has several times
been proved. Every one has heard
of Pellisson's spider. ConsOler of
the unfortunate prisoner, it perished
because it listened too closely to the
captive's violin. The jailer saw it
and crushed it brutally. Gretry, the
composer, speaks of favOrite spider
which descended along its thread up
on his piano as soon as he played
it. When giving recitals at Brussels
Rudinstein saw a large spider issue
from the floor of the platform and
listen to the music. He gave three
concerts at the same hall, and on
each occasion the spider appeared.

How Woman Infatuates Man.

Man has always insisted that wO-
man shall be better than he is, says
american .Mogozine. or at any rate,
that she shall limit her immOralitieS
to such forms as he does not greatly
disapprOve. There has, in fact, been
developed particular code Of morals
to cover the peculiar case of woman
This may be called a morality of the
person and of the bodily habits, as
cOntraSted with the commercial and
public morality of man. Purity. con-
stancy, reserve, and devotion are the
qualities in woman which please and
fiatter the jealous male; and woman
has responded to these demands both
really and seemingly. Without any
consciousness of what she is doing
(for all moral traditions fall in the
general psychological region of hab-
iD, she acts in the manner which
makes her most pleasing to men,
She also constitutes herself the most
strict censor of that morality which
has become traditionally associated
with woman, naively insists that her
sisters shall play well within the
game, and throws the first stone at
any woman who bids for the favor of
men by Overstepping the limits of
mOdesty. The means of attraction
she employs are so highly elaborated,
and her technique is so finished. that
she is really more active in courtship
than man. By dress, modesty, CO.
quetry, Indifference, and occasional
boldness, and by lying low and let
ting the imagination of the male en-
dow her with depth. she plays at
once on the protective instinct and
vanity of man, and infatuates him.
He does the courting, but she con-
trolls the process.

A Reminder Of Little Thiafs.

Mrs. Julia A. Fletcher Carney died
a few days ago at her home in Gales
burg, Ill. Such is the substance of a
recent press dispatch Who was Mrs.
Julia A. Fletcher Carney? She was
the one person of all others who i'm
pressed upon the minds of the BOYS
and girls of q generation ago the
value of little things. She was the
author of that little poem of four
stanZas which is more familiar to
more people than any other verse OF
the century:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So reads the first stanza. And the
last, with the application of the les
son-thOugh we all remember it's
worthy of reprint:
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words Of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the Heaven above.
1t is u simple bit of verse; a re-
freshing breath from the spirit OF
purest altruis m that has been waited
to every corner of the civilized world.
Its origin was humble and entirely
without the expectation Of fame. Mrs.
Carney was school teacher in BOs-
ton, away back in 1854, when she
wrote this simple little poem; and
for the sole purpose of impressing
upon her pupils the moral worth of
simple, unpretentious, every day acts
of kindness. The labor was one OF
noble purpose, as clearly an that OF
Milton when he composed the great
est of English epics. The motive was
as simple as the lesson sought to be
taught and the SMILES which were
made the vehicle of its teaching. But
simple as it was, it was the expires
sion of q great and earnest soul and
its influence upon children, and upon
children's children, has been for good
beyond all calculation.
