be sure, they do not expect that their
proposals will be even considered, not
to speak of adoption, for the cards
have been so stacked in the makeup
of the committees that no republican
proposal will be reported out But
they will make their record, never
theless.
The republican members had no
disposition to play petty politics, nor
will they play any. 1t is President
Hunt-with. we presume. his chief
adviser, Mr.. Winsor-that has fenced
the republicans off from any partici-
patton in the making Of the consti-
tuition and thereby denied to the peo-
pie who elected these republican dele
gates any voice in making the con-
stitution
And what will be the result?
Precisely as feared by the demo-
Gratis of foresight who wished Mr..
Hunt to pursue a different policy.
There will go to Washington-duly
ratified by the people, of course-a
constitution bristling with radicalism.
but nearly as important as its radical
character, there will go with It un-
officially the constitution proposed by
the republican Members constitu-
ton which failed. but which was pre-
ferred by nearly half the voters of
the territory.
Can anybody believe that the sig
nificance of these facts will be over
looked by the president and the re-
publican leaders?
The republicans of Arizona desire
statehood, first of all. Although their
hope is fading, it is still their wish
that the constitution formulated by
their democratic friends will be such
a document as the president can APP
prove. Instead of sulking, the repub-
licans will go to any length short of
stultifying themselves to secure the
of the constitution at Wash
ington.
But it is evidently the purpose of
President Hunt and the coterie with
him to make it as difficult as pos
sible for republicans to help in Sc
curing statehood.

ANCESTOR WORSHIP.

A distinguished authority on her
aldry criticises the proneness of
Americans to glory in ancient lineage
and declares that many citizens Of
this country indulge this propensity
to ridiculous extreme. Like the
abuse of many another wholly wor-
thy sentiment, pride of ancestory is
founded on a very reasonable and
laudable trait of human nature. Only
when it is abused is it the object of
legitimate criticism. Those who are
able to trace their line of descent
back for a great many generations
may well congratulate themselves on
the possession of such a heritage of
honor But there is a ''noblesse
oblige" which makes it all the more
incumbent upon them to realize in
their own lives the splendid tradi-
tions by which they set so much
store. There is nothing quite so alb
surd as the supercilious worship of
ancestry by descendants who are
laughable deteriorations from the no.
BILE stock whence they sprang. Red
blood is the standard, rather than
blue blood No man can help being
the descendant of a horsethief, if he
is one. Why should be lay inordinate
stress upon the fact that his an
cestors came over in the Mayflower,
unless he himself is a descendant
upon whom his ancestors might look
with equal pride?
But the truth is that few Amer
leans. in comparison with the great
aggregate. worry their brains very
much about whether their ancestors
fought for or against the Conqueror
at Hastings, or were beheaded in thC.
Tower or belonged to the glamorous
heroes of the past. All of us go
back to "the Adamses" and on every
family tree there probably hangs. on
some branch or other, some an
cestor who did not suspend himself
from the limb. The time of red
blooded Americans is being spent, as
it well may be, more in storing up
pride in their posterity than by vast
ing it in fruitless glorying in the
deeds of ancestors for whom they are

The Arch.

The consensus of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was invented by the Romans. Some
claim that ArchimedeS of Sicily was
the inventor. while there are others
who would make it to be of Etrurian
origin. but there can be no doubt about
the fact that the Romans were the
first to apply the principle to archi-
lecture. The earliest instance of its
use is in the ease of the Cloaca Max
ina. or Great sewer. of Rome. built
about 5SS B. G. by the first of the Tar
quin line of kings. a work which is re-
garded by the historians as being one
of the most %stupendous monuments of
antiquity. Built entirely without ce-
ment. it is still doing duty after a
service of almost twenty-five centuries.

POSING OF THE TROUT.

Its Resemblance to the lowering of the
Kestrel In the Air.
AS the kestrel is to the clouds so is
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and ROT display that magical
posing as if suspended by invisible
threads-only now and then, when
cross currents are encountered, is Il
sign given to show that life itself is
not in suspense.
A brief agitation of the keStrefS
wings, a swishing of the trouts tail
the cross current is weathered, and
bird or fish poises motionless again.
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in yer fresh wonder by the
sight Of the lowering kestrel. so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
there is a trout in the stream below.
He looks his best posing with head
to the stream-a Shapely form against
the background of smooth brown peb-
bles and waving emerald weeds. Lean
ing over the bridge with eyes on the
trout a vision is conjured-an %alluring
fly drops on the water, then a slack
line tightenS. there is a song from the
reel. a rod bends. there follows a daz-
zling dance of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on a
winters day we think we hear a
mighty FLASHING of water over the
pebbles, which turns out to be the
play of thirty or forty trout. the play
of the last round of some water tour
ney. AS they come to the surface. roll
ing and ~wallowing. their great fat
sides look twice as big as when seen
through the clear water. They almost
make a dam across the stream as they
jostle each other. seeking for the
choicest places on the spawning bed

The Romans inherited from the
Greeks their love for fish. Rome's sol
diers were fed on fish. her generals ate
fish. her senators were epicures in fish.
and her emperors recognized no dish
more desirable than fish.
Lucullus caused a canal to be cut
through a mountain nea Naples to
bring UP the sea and its fishes to the
center Of the gardens of his sumptuous
villa. The love Of fish in those days was
a mania. The red mullet was priced be-

mackerel and other fishes. brought
high prices. and great prizes were Of

kings table. In France fiShmongerS

BLOTTING PAPER.
Its Discovery Was the Result of :
Workman's C~arelessness.

Workman's Carelessness.
Blotting paper was discovered pure
ly by accident. Some ordinary paper
was being made one day at Il mill in
Berkshire when a careless workman
forgot to put in the sizing material.
1t may be imagined what angry scenes
would take place in that mill. as the
whole of the paper made was regarded
as being quite useless. The proprie-
tor of the mill desired to write Il
note shortly afterward. and he took a
piece of waste paper, thinking it was
intense annoyance the ink spread all
over the paper. All of a sudden there
flashed over his mind the thought that
this paper would do instead of sand
for drying ink. and he at once adver
tised his waste paper as plotting"
The reason the paper is of use in
drying ink is that really it is a mass
of hairlike tubes which suck up liquid
by capillary attraction. If Il very fine
glass tube is put into water the liquid
will rise in it owing to capillary at
traction. The art of manufacturing
blotting paper has been carried to such
a degree that the product has wonder
full absorbent qualities.
The original blotting paper was of Il
pink color, due to the fact that red
rags were used. rags which could not
be used for making the ordinary pa
per. as the coIor could not be- rpmov
ed. Here was Il method for using the
apparently useless matter, and so for
ii long time pink was the predominant
color.-London NJ. A. P.
