PULLIAM KNEW

When Wagner threatened
to run OUT during the
spring there was consterna-
ton in Pittsburg. A season
without Honus threatened to
be a poor one for the Smoky
city magnate. They argued,
they pleaded, they showed
him more money. Hans was
obdurate.
The president of the Ma
tional league went to Pitts
burg to talk with Wagner. At
first Pulliam tried the stock
arguments. Wagner listened
but his reply was always the
same. He wanted to quit.
The work was hard. Then
Pulliam showed his knowl-
edge of character.
"All right, Hans" he said

ESKIMO SUPERIORITY.

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, in writing of
his thirteen months stay among the
Eskimos, tells, in Harper's Magazine,
Of this great kindness to guest who
could not pay for his keep, a stranger
whose purpose among them they did
not know.
In an Eskimo home I have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child
punished nor an old person treated in
considerably. The household affairs
are carried on in an orderly way, and
the good behavior of the children is re-
marked by practically every traveller.
In MANY things we are the superiors
Of the Eskimo: in few we are his in
feriors. The moral value Of some of
his superiority is small. He can make
better garments against cold than our
tailors and furriers; he can thrive in
barren wastes where New England
er would starve. But of some Of his
superiority the moral value is great.
He has developed individual equality
farther than we, he is less selfish, more
helpful to his fellows, kinder to his
wife, gentler to his child, more re-
ticent about the faults of his neighbor
than any but the rarest and best of our
race.
When tried to express thanks for
their kindness in my fragmentary Es-
kimo, they were more surprised than
pleased.

STOP WASTE OF DAYLIGHT.
What the Proposition Made to the
British Commons Means.

British Commons Means.
Few movements have spread SO rad
idly In a short time as the agitation
In favor Of the daylight bill. A select
committee Of the House Of Commons
reported in favor Of the measure last
year, and it's supporters will make a
supreme effort this session to pass it
into law. The bill aims at preventing
the terrible waste Of daylight" which
goes on at the present time, says Lon
don correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
According to Mr.. Willett, T. r. A. S.,
the scheme consists Of putting forward
the fingers of clocks twenty minutes on
each Of four Sundays in April and Of
putting them back twenty minutes on
each of four Sundays in September.
That is to say, it proposes to substitute
for eight Sundays of twentyfour hours
each four Sundays in April which shall
be less than twenty-four hours and
four Sundays in September which shall
be more than twenty-four hours. Moth
ing is lost, but the gain is substantial.
It means that the man who now leaves
off work at p. m. will take with him
home the light we now have at 3 40 !;
he who leaves off at 6 o'clock will take
with him the light we now have at
4 40, and so on. To workingmen who
leave off work on Saturdays the advan-
tage to be gained is most striking.
Those whose half-holiday commences at
II or 1 or o'clock will have at their
disposal as much daylight as If 1t COM
menced at 10 40, II 40 or II 80 re-
spectively.
What this means at the end Of the
year is somewhat impressive. 1t means
an annual gain Of 210 hours of useful
daylight equivalent to twenty-one
days Of ten hours each) every year. To
succeeding generations the change is no
less important. On reaching the age
Of % (without counting anything of
six years of childhood) a man will
have gained a whole year of daylight.
At SO he will have gained two years,

But very few years ago women used
to be jeered at and even reproved for
their craze for goodies, and man who
was seen eating sweets was accounted
a rather poor thing. Now figures are
showing that the consumption of sugar
is increasing, while the amount of alco-
hol is declining. This is explained by
the fact that men of all classes eat
sweetmeats much more than they did
and that whenever a people eat largely
of sugar they take less intoxicants.-
