JUST WHAT THEY EXPECTED
They Looked for Almost Inevit-
able Comment.

A committee of investigating scien-
lists approached a lady.
Madam" said Professor Prewins,
the spokesman, offering her magnifi-
cent chrysanthemum of rare and love-
ly hue. Madam, permit me to pre-
sent this flower to you as a token OF
our high regard
She clasped the splendid blossom In
her lily white hand.
Breathlessly the committee waited
her reply.
How beautiful 1t is 2" she answered
What an exquisite shade of purple,
| should love to have a dress of that
color
Dr. Prewins nodded knowingly
to the committee, as IL to say, Il told
you So"

fessor and whispered, You win"

New Foot Rule.

Jenkins was an enterprising man.
He was bootmaker by trade, and. in
order to advertise his goods, he had
a notice put up in his window to the
effect that during the next week every
purchaser of pair of boots would be
presented gratis with fine foot rule.
Just the very thing for me-" said
Brown, the carpenter. I'm needing
a new foot rule, and l can put the
boots by until these have are done"
So he entered the shop and bought
a pair, receiving with his change a
neat little envelope trifle larger than
q visiting card.
What's this far?" he asked.
THAT, sir, is the foot rule which we
are presenting gratis for this week,
sir"
Rather small, isn't it?"
"a pocket foot rule, sir; very
handy"
Brown walked home and opened the
envelope, when. to his chagrin, he
produced a small card on which was
printed:
Never Wear Tight Shoes"

MONEY THAT REALLY TALKS
Speaking Bank Note Is Now Urged as
Protection Against Coun-
terfeiting.

The question OF protection against
counterfeit bank notes is one which
Is being discussed in England just at
present.
A member of the Royal society re-
gently showed the results of discov-
cry which he made, and by this means
he Is able to initiate copper or steel
engraved bank notes so perfectly that
the president of large bank was un-
able to pick out the single genuine
bank note out of lot of ten which
included nine of the kind reproduced
by the author. This was intended to
show the error OF the prevailing opin-
ion that bank notes cannot be imi-
tated
At the same time that this some
what disconcerting news comes out a
new remedy against counterfeit notes
is proposed, this being the speaking
bank note, and should a system of the
kind be adopted the note will not only
concern the eye, but will assert its
genuiness in a loud and ineligible
voice should it be placed in phono-
graph.
In fact the note carries given
phrase which is inscribed on the edge
just as on photograph cylinder, u.s.
ing specially prepared paper for this
purpose. Any kind Of phrase can
naturally be used, as it is designed
simply to have a check upon the quail
ity Of the bank note by the use OF
the voice.
All that is needed is to put the note
into a properly designed photograph,
when it will speak for itself, accord
ing to the present idea, while coun-
terfeit remains silent. The method
is certainly an original one, but it
would not seem very hard matter to
counterfeit the monograph record as
well as the note itself.-Scientific
American.

Farms for Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms in the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the international Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm, in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds OF vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S-inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor it becomes a tiny OBJ
ject lesson in good roads.

Growth OF Flax Industry.

The flax industry of this country
has reached a stage OF considerable
Importance, but the product is not
made use of in the production of linen,
but in the manufacture OF linseed oil
1t is said that at the present time
about 100000 acres of land are Civ
en- up to flax growing. A problem of
the industry is to make some use OF
the straw, which now goes wholly to
waste, this amounting to about three
million tons. Experiments have been
made in the direction Of papermaking
with the straw and this proposition
has met with some degree of success
but the scheme is not commercially
practicable.

KNOX IN PANAMA.

Secretary of State Knox has started
his our of the Latin American coun-
tries "auspiciously," according to the
reports of the reception accorded him
at Panama the other day. He was
given an ovation when he arose to
speak at the dinner given in his honor
by the acting president of the 18TH
mian republic, and his speech was re-
ceived in fine spirit by the assembled
company. Mr.. Knox made good
choice of his starting point and sound
ed the right keynote to his addresses
to the Latin Americans. when he
based the relations of the United
States to the countries of that region
chiefly on the situation to be created
by he opening of the Panama canal
Our whole policy toward Latin Amer
lea will be affected by the opening
of that great commercial route, and
our interests in that region of the
world must necessarily be greatly
widened and extended by the new
conditions the canal will create.
It must have required considerable
fortitude on the part of Mr. Knox
however. to declare as boldly as he
did the unselfshness of the United
States toward the Latin American
region, with the canal as his theme
and the republic of Panama as his
platform, Standing upon soil wresteG
from Colombia by the aid and support
of his country, with the canal zone
over which the American flag flies,
within the range of his view through
the windows of the banquet hall. Mr..
Knox blandly declared: 81 take thrs
opportunity of assuring all the Amer
lean republics that the purpose of the
United States toward them is that we
should live in amity and essential har-
mony and that We desire only that
more peace. more prosperity, more

PROBING EXPRESS RATES.

According to the testimony of Jo-
seph W. Zimmerman, general traffic
manager of the Adams Express COM
pany. before the interstate commerce
commission at Washington on We'd
lay, rates of express companies
are fxed arbitrarily, practically with
out reference even to the first class
rail freight rate. I'VE make our
rates regardless of what the freight
is between re same points" said Mr..
Zimmerman. 4 suppose" he contin-
ued, mo m living knows how ex-
press rates originally we're made or
could say Row they are made now"
This is frank confession, and the
correctness. of its statement VIII GER
tainly be borne out by every expert
enced patron of the express compan-
les. 1t is what The Evening Post
has been saying for years of the ex-
press companies charges. There is
no system at all in their rate making,
and the result is that patrons make
the best they can of the charges that
are tayed against him for service and
are utterly unable to establish any
claim for inequalities, however glaring
they may be.
The inquisition the commission has
been making into the methods of ex-
press companies has more than estab-
lished all the allegations of complaint
the public has held for years against
these transportation agencies. 1t has
shown the pressing necessity for some
refo.m in the methods of management
of the express companies anc, espe-
cially, has it established the conten-
ton, so frequently made, that the ex-
press business should be a part of
the railroads own service, subject to
all he regulation and supervision that
applies to railroad business and not
an nder endent service, conducted up
on IN arbitrary Iasis.
