Tho SubaItern's Retort.

When Sir Ian Hamilton was in South
Africa acting as chief of staff to Lord
Kitchener he had occasion to visit rath-
er large depot Of which young Of
f1cer was in command. Going through
certain papers, General Hamilton found
that these were not quite in order and
at last said rather YEARLY to the Of
ficer: "You know this sort Of thing
will not do at all. What do you sup
pose your brains were given you forw
II am sure do not know, general"
was the cheerful reply. "Since I came
here I have worked sixteen hours a
day and more. have acted as mule
teamster, porter, van guard, supply
clerk, station master, orderly, room
clerk, typist and a dozen other things.

A Little Paint Badly Applied.

The Journal des Debats in an article
on Napoleon on the Stage" tells why
the play "L'Homme de Destin" was
taken from the stage when it's triumph
was at the zenith. One evening, &C.
cording to the story, the emperor, ac-
companied by his friend Duroc, went
in disguise to the Porte st. Martin
theater, where the piece was being per.
formed, Eugene Chevalier appearing
as the man Of destiny. They bought
box, but had hardly entered it when
the emperor broke forth in violent exc.
crations against the "fool managers
1t seemed that the decorators had left
in the box pots of oil and paint, and
into these the emperor had stepped.
wild with rage" says the writer, che
rushed from the house and, to make
matters worse, was recognized in the
lobby. No paper mentioned the Incl
dent, but by order Of the emperor the
play was never produced again, and
Chevalier never appeared again as the
man Of destiny-and all on account of
little paint badly applied"

Non;nat;no : President.

lN0IubUAu9 - sASSsNSsses
Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident were voted for on the same bal
lot, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1900 it was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1928
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
AS late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential can
didates were chosen by the members
Of congress In caucus. In 1924 the
electoral college failed to make a choice
from the candidates SO submitted, and
the matter went to the house of repre-
sentatives. -Four years later Tennes-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus. His opponent,
John Quincy Adams, was nominated in
the old way, but that was the end OF
presidential nominations by congress
siOnal caucus. ss.s

Weiohinu Touch

A remarkable instrument is that used
for the purpose of measuring the sense
OF touch. This device consists Of g.
series Of little disks, each three MILL
meters in diameter, suspended by fine,
delicate thread from wooden handles,
the last being stuck into holes round
a block. The Ightest disk is taken
out and brought into contact with the
skin Of the subject, he having his eyes
closed. If nothing is felt a heavier
disk is employed, and so on until the
pressure becomes noticeable. The
disks weigh from one to twenty MILL
grams, and with their aid it has been
proved that the sense Of touch in the
average person is conveyed by two mill
ngrams on the forehead, temple and
back of the forearm, five for the nose
and the chin and fifteen for the inner
surface Of the fngers.-New York Trib-

Psychic Phenomena,

The Chinese believe that the p'o Is
equivalent to the supraliminal self,

FOR RECLAMATION WORK
Congressman Stevenson Has Plan to
Secure Funds.

Secure Funds.
Washington, Jan. 20. - new
method by which it is proposed to
provide additional funds for reclama-
ton and forestry work by the govern
ment is embraced in bill introduced
in the house by Representative Steen-
erson of Minnesota. This measure
gives the secretary of the interior the
authority to dispose of merchantable
timber on the unreserved and unap-
propriated public domain In the vari-
GUS states named in the reclamation
act of 1902.
One.half the proceeds is to go to
the reclamation fund" established in
the act Of 1902; one-quarter of the
moneys thus obtained are to be used
for a forestry reserve fund.-" which
is to be used by the secretary of agri-
culture in the establishment of forest
reserves; the remaining quarter is to
be used as drainage fund.-" to be
used by the secretary of the interior
IN the examination and survey for
the construction, operation and main
tenance of works for drainage or
reclamation of swamp and overfowed
lands belonging to the United States.

The case was called in the county
courthouse before Judge William NJ.
Hart.
The prominence of the men in
volved in the case has spread its
ramidcations into the state capitol
and the United States senate. It has
kept the entire state of Tennessee on
edge since fiery, impetuous, unfortu-
nate Carmack fell on the street be-
fore the pistol of young Robin Cooper,
victim to his unfortunate propensity
for holding up to public scorn his po-
litjcal opponents.
Prominent Men in the Case.
Among the men who will testify to
the circumstances that led to the
tragedy will in all likelihood be Gov
ernor Patterson of Tennessee, SEN
ator James B. Frazier and others con-
spicuous in the public life of the state.
From all parts of Tennessee have
come friends of the dead senator, in
tent on assisting the prosecution in
avenging his death. A prominent fig
IRE among these men today is Custom
T. Fitzhugh of Memphis, leading
lawyer, who is serving as a volunteer
counsel for the prosecution under
Prosecutor jeff McCarn. On the other
hand, the Coopers, father and son,
have the backing of political and per-
soral friendship among the members
Of the Tennessee bar and John D.
Sharp, co-defendant in the case, who
was formerly sheriff of Davidson
county, in which Nashville is situated,
commands the services of able attor.
ueys.
It is the universal prediction here
that a legal battle such as has not
been seen in Tennessee in many years
will follow the opening of the case in
court today. The principal attorneys
for the defense are J. M. Anderson,
General w. H. Washington, James K.
Bradford and M. H. Meeks.

The Assassins.

The Assassins were a religious and
military order who came into exist
ence during the eleventh century in
Persia and who devoted themselves to
the destruction after stealthy approach
of all who opposed the Moslem faith
In any way. The crusaders met with
a branch of these desperate zealots in
Syria, and many Of the warriors Of the
cross were slain relentlessly and with
mysterious suddenness in consequence.
The Tartars exterminated the Persian
Assassins in 1856, and fourteen years
later the Syrian band Of murderers
was wiped out by an Egyptian ruler.
But the name they bore remains as a
designation of dread.

PASSENGERS as Rouncers.

A passenger in full railway car
rtage in England has perfect legal
right to push away any one else who
tries to get into It. This decision was
given at Marylebone police court when
a man complained that he was pushed
out Of carriage at Bishops road sta
ton by another passenger, who said
the car was full. 1T is the duty of
conductors" said the court, "to see
that the trains are not overcrowded.
They are perfectly entitled to use
reasonable force to prevent any one
from boarding cars when they are full.
If they fail to avail themselves Of this
right the passengers are entitled to
act for themselves"

Who Would Want to Be a Lamar

Who Would Want to Be a Lama?
The lama pilgrims among the Tibet
an Hindoos, as they pursue their noun
tain pilgrimages, literally measure of
the. distance with their bodies. The
distinguished traveller Sven Hedin,
writing Of his discoveries in Tibet IN
Harper's Magazine, describes them as
lying down full length on the ground,
making mark on the road, rising and
stepping forward to the mark, once
more to fall full length. One such
walking journey as this, says DR..
Hedin, equals thirty ordinary ones.
Among the lamas also are to be found
those who immune themselves in q
dark cave for life, food being passed
in through passage or hole under
ground Should the dish be one day
untouched those outside may know
that the sacrificial prisoner has died
seated, since all good lamas must die
seated, in the wooden frame which
was fashioned for him when he was
entombed.
