THE AMERICAN,

Under the title Of 1.-THE Thin Crust

reviews the story Of the tragedy
which took place last July In NewarkS
Ohio, where the entire town broke
out into lawlessness and lynched a
boy, nineteen years old, who was a
United States Deputy Marshall at
tempting to do his duty. Mr.. Baker
analyses the causes which were re-
sponsible for this outbreak and fixes
the blame on the big breweries and
wholesale liquor merchants who
abetted the local dealers In breaking
the law.
Three other articles In this issue
are almost Of equal Importance; they
are an article ON The Injustice of
Personal Property Taxation by AL

the series entitled 1.-THE Principle Of
Scientific Management" by Freder-
lex w. Taylor, the originator of the
new scientific theories; and an arti-
Gle by Albert w. Atwood on THE
Great Express Monopoly" In which
he describes the deal and contract
between the United States Express
Company and the Government where
by the latter has been obliged to
pay unfair and outrageous profits
to the former.
"Of Peace and Good Will" by
Paul U. Kellogg is still another nota-

kNIEING AN ERMInE.
Cold Trick That Traps the Shy Little
Fur Prize.

Fur Prize.
You are doubtless aware that the
ermine of which your muf is made
has been the emblem of royalty almost
since royalty began, in Russia, until
very recent years, its use being for
hidden to those not Of noble birth. But
l wonder If you are likewise aware
that it is brother, or at least first
cousin, to the weasel. Ermine, as a
matter Of fact, is nothing more than
the weasel or common stoat in its
northern coat, for, like other arctic
and subarctic animals, the weasel turns
white in winter In order that it may be
as inconspicuOus as possible IN its en-
yironment Of ice and snow. Yet so
abnormally keen Of sight are the 81
berian trappers that they can dtstin-
guish at almost incredible distances
the little black tip Of the ermine's
tail as it whisks across the dazzling
plains.
1t Is very shy, is the ermine, and
special snares must be devised by the
trapper to avoid injuring the delicate
skin. Even the smallest Of the steel
traps are too heavy for such tiny ami
mails as these, and here it is that the
trapper's fertility of o is most
strikingly displayed. Smearing a little
grease on his hunting knife, he lays it
across the succession Of dots and
dashes which show that an ermine has
passed that way. Along comes the
tiny white form on its erratic purse
again. The grease appeals TO it, and
it begins to lick the knife blade,
which In those far northern lands,
where the mercury drops to 20, 80, 40
degrees below zero, Is inconcelvably
cold. Did you never as a child on a
winters morning put your tongue to
some piece Of metal only to find that
it did not easily come away? So 1t Is
then with the ermine, whose tiny red
tongue is instantly frozen TO the steel
as though with glue. The knife being
too heavy for the little animal to
carry off, it can only wait until the
trapper comes upon his rounds, and
you, my lady, have a muff of snowy
unmarried skins.-E. A. Powell, F. r.
G.. s., in Everybody's.

QUEER STREET NAMES.
Ono Feature In Which Brussels Ou'
doee London or Paris.

Ono Feature In Which Brussels Out
doe. London or Paris.
There are many b~ewildering street
names In European cities, and OF
these London presents a b~ewildering
variety. Bermondsey possesses a Pic
kle Herring street. Near Gray's inn
there is to be found a Cold Bath
square. Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden, ironically
enough, in the slums of the east end
Of the British capital.
In Brussels some of the street names
are really bizarre. The Short Street OF
the Long Chariot, the Street of the
Red Haired Women and the Street of
Sorrows are remarkable enough to
catch the least observant eye. The
Street of the One Person is, as Il
might guess, an extremely narrow ne.
But the cream of the Brussels street
name surely belongs to the Street OF
the Uncracked Silver Cocoanut. This
in the original appears as n ponder
Gus word Of t~hirty-six letters.
The 1000 Inhabitants of the Rue des
Mauyais Gareons signed Petition
| praying that the name OF the street De
changed. They contended that the de
| nomination of the thoroughfare in
which they reside produces a bad i'm
preston on those to whom they are
obliged to give their address.
This Street of the Bad Boys was, 1t
appears, so named in the sixteenth
century because of the noisy character
Of its inha bitants. But nov it needs
no such designation, those who reside
there being for the most part peaceful
and respectable citizens
Among the peculiar street names in
Paris may be mentioned the Street of
the Little Windows, the Street Of the
Mules Foot, the Street of the Holy
Fathers, the Street Of the Daughters
of Calvary, the Street of the Dry Tree,
the Street of the Empty Pocket and
the Boulevard Of the Good News

ORATORY DEAD IN ENGLAND.

The habit Of oratory has disap-
peared In England, says Sir Henry
Lucy in the Strand. Gladstone was
our last orator. Speeches two hours
In length, Illuminated by classical
quotation, concluding with a glitter
Ing preoration, are today foreign to
Parliamentary debate. Even In the
House Of Lords the habit, though
not absolutely dead, soundly sleeps.
The fact Is, oratory cannot flourish
In the dull hours between luncheon
and dinner. What 1t thrives upon is
the glowing post-prandial period, be-
ginning about half-past ten o'clock,
when patriots, cheered with good
food and wholesome wine, flock
down In dinner dress to hear we'll
matched gladiators pound away each
other. Then from crowded benches
rise the exultant cheer and the not
less inspiring shout Of dissent. Only
on rare occasions, when great issues
are at stake, does the old familiar,
fiery glow possess the House In the
chill of a February afternoon, or the
languor OF broad daylight in summer
time.
