A Mennonite Custom.

When young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide if he is honest and reliable
to buy him a farm. usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings. and
then members or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with a small rate of inter-
est. Thus ~ example and material
assistance they bind him BY the
strongest bonds, that of debtor no the
church. They know full well that
nothing can be lost. for the land is
always worth what it will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying
the best of all Kansas land and the
best part of the incest little city

Hypnotizinu lobsters.

Here is curious and little known
experiment that can be made with
live Holsters. 1t is quite impossible
to stand a lobster up ION end" unless
it is first put to sleep.
This is done by slowly stroking its
tail downward with the hand two or
three times, when the fish is at once
thrown into a state of coma, or deep
sleep, and remains in that position,
without a movement of any kind, for
about ten minutes. Even its eyes are
fixed, and it has every appearance of
being dead.
Another curious thing is that when
one lobster wakes up the noise ii
makes In falling down rouses all the
others; and the effect of one or more
waking up is very strange.

Abolish Bear Traps.

Williamsport sportsmen intend to
circulate petitions to the legislature
looking toward the abolition Of bear
traps. The only persons using traps
are those who hunt bears for mar
ket, and sportsmen are anxious that
the bear be more fully protected
than under the present laws. 1t is
pointed out by those back of the
movement that the catching of bears
in traps not only tends to exterminate
the species of game but is cruel
practice, as the animals frequently
free themselves by leaving parts of
their legs in the trap.-Philadelphia

Clark Watches Tariff Scheme.

Cha.p Clark, Democratic leader
of the house of representatives

to be the next speaker is watch
ing hawk-eyed the attempts OF
the Republicans to get together on
tariff commission legislation. Through
his political and personal friend. Rep
resentative Underwood of Birming-
ham. Ala. who is a member OF the
ways and means committee, Mr.. Clark
has followed closely the deliberations
Of the Republicans on that commit
tee during the last few days.
The Democratic leader. his friends
say, is alive to the seeming political
advantage which the Republicans will
gain IL they succeed il enacting tarii
commission legislation which will suit
the people and let them feel definitely
that the Ultimate desire Is to make
the tariff a business proposition.
Democratic Scaling Plan.
The Democrats shortly will hold a
conference and when they get to-
gether it is believed that they will
formulate. a plan to scale most Of the
duties downward at a 10 FER cent
rate. thus reaching by 10 per cent
stages a schedule of duties which
they think will put the customs upon
| a basis Of tariff for revenue only. In
| other words, it is believed to be the
Democratic plan to lower the tarin
gradually in order that business may
adjust itself more readily to the
| changed conditions.

THE EMPRESS GRAFT.

Special Examiner Frank Lyon. who
conducted the pipe line inquiry here
early last fan for the interstate COM
merce commission, has recently been
detailed to investigate the express
companies Of the country and hs re-
port, just filed, presents some aston
ishlng facts.
He shows that the total incomes
Of all companies amounts to one hum
dred and thirty-two million annually.
This sum divided by the number of
tons hauled, shows that the charge
for carrying express matter is $S1,20
per ton The average express rate IL
sixteen times the freight rate, the lat
ter being $3.50 per ton. The net in
come from the express companies
operation is eleven million dollars and
on their own valuation of twenty,
seven million dollars, their profit is
shown to be approximately 40 per
cent. II is known that the actual
value of the equipment of the ex-
press companies is only about one
third Of what they allege it to be,
so that their profit on the actual cap
ital invested runs up to more than
100 per cent.
Here is a chance for the interstate
commerce commission to do some
great work for the country and ev-
erybody win be glad that the real
facts are at last laid bare and the
cxtortous of the express companies
fully exposed. The express business
Is probably the biggest graft in the
