The Oriqin of Oxyuen,

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen In the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was q globe of hot
liquid it contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
it cooled off plants appeared on its
surface. and these began to evolve
oxygen through the medium of the
sunbeams Upon the oxygen thus de
rived we depend for the maintenance
of life by breathing When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use up
oxygen, and 1t is TO plants again that
we owe the restoration of the oxygen
thus lost to the air. If they failed to
keep up Il sufficient supply the atmos
phere would gradually part with its
oxygen, and the Inhabitants of the
earth would disappear In consequence
OF asphyxlatiou.

Tho ExeIusiveness of Caste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in a battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma

Next morning we spied a man and an
old woman, who came to us with
basket and pot of water. and to
every wounded man she gave II piece
of joaree bread from the basket and
drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and ! thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was a
high caste Rajput. and. as this wom-
an WAS Chumar. or of the lowest
caste, he would receive neither water
nor bread from her. | tried to per
suade him to take it that he might
live, but he said that in our state, with
but a few hours more to linger. what
was little more or less suffering to
us-why should he give up his fate
for such an object? No; he preferred
to die unpolluted."

The skill of the old Maine shipbuild-

was wonderful One old time yarn is
of a carpenter who applied very drunk
at shipyard for employment In or
der to have little fun with him the
foreman set him to give a proof of his
skill by hewing out wooden bolt with
no chopping block but a stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen edge Of
the broadax and showed the foreman
q neatly made bolt Then he brought
the AK down with a terrific blow that
shattered It's edge upon the stone. Il

A Victim of Leprosy.

there was the taint of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have 1t. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
cry at waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand,
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknlfe in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger tip
to wrist You may not know that lep-
rosy appears in the side of the hand,
numbness being Il sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking over his chair. rushed
out into the courtyard of the hotel, and
we heard the quick tang of revolver
shot, telling us how he had conquered
the leper's curse by ending his life."-

prove to be a blunder on the part
of the regulars" the ''stand-pat-
ters, the friends of Tariff stabil-
ity. 1t is said that they have de-
cided to yield the pressure for
granting enlarged powers and jur-
isdiction to the Tariff board, to the
end that the door may be opened
wide to a thorough inquiry look
ing toward further Tariff revision,
says the American Economist.
They are going to surrender
their convictions and their prin-
ciples, is reported, in order to fore
stall more Tariff agitation!"
1t is asserted that they are sin
blue funk" over the situation;
that they are so scared by insur-
gent threat that they are ready
to grant the insurgent demand for
''more revision
This seems incredible, prepos-
terous.
Is more Tariff agitation to be
of'restalled" in that way?
Can you stop Tariff agitation by
providing means wherewith to
nrpmOtp AGITATION
Can yoa convince people that
the Republican Tariff legislation
of 1909 is good legislation by play
ing the game of those who want to
convince the country that it is bad
legislation?
The business of the country is
not calling for more Tariff agita-
ton, for inquiry and investiga-
ton directly calculated to keep up
the agitation.
The insurgents want Tariff agi-
tation continued as a means OF es-
Gaping political oblivion.
The Democrats want Tariff
agitation continued because it
threatens to smash the Republican
party,
But why should sane, level
headed, conservative Republicans
and Protectionists want it? Have
these people lost their heads? Are
they scared into fits by insurgent
bluff and buster?
The men who framed the Tariff
of 1909 knew what they were
about when they provided for the
creation Of a board which should
assist the President in the applica-
tion Of the minimum and maxi
mum system, and also assist Gus
toms administrative officers. At
least they thought they knew what
they were about. They thought
they We're placing an absolute limi-
tation upon the powers of that
board, namely, to assist the ad-
ministration of the present Tariff,
that and nothing more. They did
not suppose and did not intend
that the Tariff board had or should
have any authority whatsoever in
connection with future Tariff legis-
lation.
The insurgents themselves took
this view Of the law, and com
planned because Of the plain re-
strictions therein imposed.
