 The number of resident applicants for aid Is less than for last year, but possibly some portion of this decrease Is due to the enforced absence of the agent through illness, as many cases are reported to him ordinarily, when he is moving about the city on inves- tlgatlons.
 The laundry trade does not material ly increase, people are having their work done al home more than former ly, SO that we run the plant but three days in the week, but such work as we have Is help to the women who do come, who are rather more in num- Der than formerly.

John w. Grlggs Tells Tale of Ills Ap-
 polntmcnt as Governor.
 Passaic, N. J., Sept 1S,-At a political meeting at Whitehead's opera house last night, John W, Griggs, ex-united States attorney general, told of the part he played in inducing William H.. Taft then judge of the United States circuit court, 10 resign his judgeshlp and take up the work of governing the Philippine Islands.
 When this country had acquired possession of the Philippine Islands" ," said Mir Griggs. "the late President Mckinley wanted big, broad, able man to govern the new possessions. We all agreed that Judge Taft was the man. At the request of the President teleeraphed to Judge Taft at Cincin- nati requesting him to come to Wash ington. He arrived early in the morn ing and called at the White House to pay his respects to the President. He was told the attorney-gencral wants to see you
 Whats all this about? he asked upon entering my office
 q said Judge Taft, the President wants you to go over and govern the Philippine Islands
 You don't say SO was his calm reply.
 And in this connection" said Mir Griggs, might point out the differ ence between Taft and Bryan. Taft has beautiful, lovely sense of humor, while Bryan has none.
 I can't do that. That will require me to resign from the bench Mir. Taft finally replied.
 '" Listen 10 me said. know what your ambition is you would like 10 be elevated to the Supreme court herch
 " Yes, would. he frankly replied.
 You have a position that is high and honorable went on, but you are limited in the general exercise of your faculties You go to the Philippine Is- lands and do your work, and when you come home there will no position in the United States government that you cannot have, whether It be seat In the Supreme court, United States

Der, and all the property Is generally in good condition for the present.
 As industrial conditions have not greatly improved lt Is probable that calls for help will be somewhat above the average during the coming winter, and If possible our financial resources should be augmented so that our re- serve may not be decreased, It is not likely that there will be as much ap- prehenslon of trouble as marked last falls experience, for people having been on short time, have developed a sense of preparedness, and are living more economically than at this time last year

BIRD VISION.
Keen Eyesisht Of the kinsfishers and
Water Birds.


So far have determined that the
keenest eyesight is probably possessed
by water birds and kingfshers, al
though every kind of bird possesses
keener eyesight than does man. 1t is
fact that the eyesight of man is go
ing to get worse in the future and is
getting worse all the time-that is, we
are growing more nearsighted. The oc-
cupations of majority Of men in
cities compel them to do their work at
very close range. This removes the
necessity of the farsighted eyes with
which most men are endowed. It Is
probably good thing that we are be-
coming nearsighted.
AS an example Of the visual capacity
Of some birds one has to think for a
moment Of a hawk poised several hun
dred yards above meadow In which
field mouse or small chicken is
hidden. In few seconds after the
quarry is sighted it is seized by the
bird, whose sharp sight has not only
detected it, but whose wonderful ac-
cOmmodative apparatus permits Of
sure and continuous fxaion from hun
dreds Of meters to less than a meter
within an incredibly short space Of
time. Variations in the character of
this acute vision are seen in many
other birds-in the humming bird, that
darts here and there so quickly that
the human eye cannot follow it and
yet comes suddenly to rest on an al
most invisible twig; in the woodcock,
that fits through the dark woods,
avoiding every tree, shrub and branch
as If they were nonexistent; in the owl,
that combines good diurnal with good
nocturnal vision, and in the kingfisher,
that sees as well in the air as he does
in water-Dr. G. A. Wood in Chicago
