ENGLAND'S HOMEOPATHIC
 YELLOW PRESS

Have we yellow press in Eng land? l think we undoubtedly have. | but in different and less concen- trated, and therefore less harmful form. II you were to take d paper like Lloyd's News or The People and mix it up with the Police Gazette and Comic Cuts and Ally Sloper and
 Illustrated Bits and the Tattler-or
 whatever other of our weekly papers
 in the chosen haunt and promenade
 of our actresses and chorus girls
 and add dash of the Daily Mail
 in one of its more ebullient moods
 and publish the resultant medley eV-
 cry day. and especially on Sunday.
 you would get something that tame
 ly and distantly rescmbled the or
 dinary yellow journal of the United
 States. The British 'yellowness" is
 diffused among a multitude of little
 sheets, and mostly weeklies. that the
 ordinary man hardly ever sees The American ''yellOwness" is brought to gether under single cover and ex- plOded upon the city in a way there is no escaping Still. the disease is with us. but in q mild form and iso- lated cases.

PLURAL AND SINGULAR.

Wen begin with box. and the plural boxes. But the plural of OK should be, oxen. not oxes: Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural Of moose should never
 be meese: You may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of mice, But the plural oc house is houses. no.
 hice. If the plural of man is always called
 men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
 pen? The COW in the plural may be cows or kline, But q bow if repeated is never called
 bne. And the plural of vow is vows, not
 vine: And if I speak of a foot and you
 show me your feet. And give you T boot. would a pair
 he called a beet? If one is q tooth. and whole set are
 teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
 called bceth? IT the singular's this ard the-plural
 IS these. should the plural of kiss be nick
 named keeSc? Then one may be that, and three
 would be those. Yet hat in the plural would never be
 hose, And the plural of cat is cats. not cose We speak of brother and also of
 brethren, But though we speak of mother, we
 never say methren. Then masculine pronouns are he, his
 and him. But imagine the feminine. she, shis
 and shim. So the English. l think you all will
 agree.

BURNS WOULD LET DARROW 60

Famous Detective on His Way West to Testify In Alleged Bribery Case

Denver, June 7-"I am not after Samuel Gompers any more than am after other men who, I believe. have been leaders in the lawlessness. l am on my. way to Los Angeles and when I take the stand in the Darrow case I shall tell a few things that may cause a stir throughout the coun- try"
 This was the statement made today by Detective William J. Burns. He leaves tonight for Los Angeles.
 'I would be perfectly willing to have Clarence Darrow go free,'' he continued. eff he would take the wit ness stand and tell all he knows about the operations of these leaders. It Isn't the tool am after-it's the men higher up. believe I would land them, too if .Darrow would tell every thing he knows
 Better to have Darrow and all the others go free if the whole truth could be obtained, for such exposures are explosions that make for the greater awakening of the public conscience. Lincoln Steffens had Q great and Christian idea in his plea for whole sale immunity for everybody com nected with the McNamara business, but we are hardly ready for it yet, any more than the Los Angeles people are ready for it.'

Bedou,n,s Three Treasures.

There. are always three things up-t permosti in the Bedouin's mind-his gun, his horse and his wives. The most modern arms of precision have replaced the primitive spear which, until a few years ago, was the usual weapon. The Bedouin is quick to real ize the efficiency of modern weapons and soon becomes an expert marks man. So much has the spear fallen out of favor that the bearer of one would be ridiculed in his own camp. Such pride has the Bedouin in his weapons that even in his leisure hours he sits fully armed, examining and cleaning each piece in turn, making himself accustomed to carrying their weight. No youth considers himself a. man until he has fully equipped him self A sword Is much- esteemed, but generally only as an heirloom and as giving distinctiona to the bearer. There ore to he feand many excellent blades among the, sheiks, some with his tory of hundreds of years, having been handed down from father to son. Wide World Magazine.

 Watch any flesh eating animal when, 1t is attacking ,its prey or watch two. animals having a fight to the death. You will notice one remarkable fact. and that is that they sstrihe for the. lungs. Most people, of course, are we'll aware where their own lungs are. but they haven't the slightest idea about any other lungs Animals in stinctively know. however, the posi- ton of the lungs of almost every oth- CT animal. When tiger or a lion at tacks a man it does it's best to get just below the shoulder blades. If 1t strikes without warning you will al ways find that it's powerful paws have torn right through to the lungs. A cat has just the same instinct. It goes for the lungs the vital spot just the same as it's bigger brothers.

Seals are caught in . variety Of ways, but they are very shy creatures and the greatest caution must be exercised in approaching them. Even when they have been struck by harpoon or rife bullet the blow must be fatal and death instantaneous, or the animal will drop into its hole in the leo and be seen no more. Indeed, the fact that seal sel- dom moves far from it's hole adds con siderably to the hunters difficulties The plan usually adopted by Eskimo hunters s to build ups a kind of tent sledge. The sides and front are mask ed with bearskin, the top with the pelt of hare. The native hides within this novel tent and inch by inch propels himself over the ice till he Is near his quarry The rifle witt, h,which he stays his seal Is brought into use through a loophole in the sledge covering.

ReIles ef ths capet Family.

The descendants of Edouard Lasne, who was housekeeper of the Temple prison when the Capet family were there. gave to the Carnavalet museum, in Paris, some of the things which Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette left in their rooms when they were taken to the scafrold. There are two chem ises of fine linen belonging to Marie Antoinette. The crown which was embroidered on them has been picked out, and only the initial I'M" remains. There is a black silk blouse, very. much worn and mended in several places, which Marie Antoinette made with her own hands in prison and which was worn by the princess royal after her father'a execution. There are also two pairs of the kings silk stock ings (darned rather badly), pair of ..Mme. Royale's" little slippers, . crystal bottle which has a few drops of Marie Antoinette's favorite scent remaining in it and Louis xvI.'s shay ing dish. But perhaps the, most pa thetic of the relics of the monarchy which went to pieces on the scafrold IS a game of bricks with which the little dauphin, whose fate has always been and always will be 8 mystery, used to amuse himself in prison.

READY TO. PUT S25,00O INTO

Scheme to Prevent Tarnish. ing Results in Dispute Then Arrest of Pro-
 motor

An effort to reach George c. Ed wards, of the International Silver Co., g local plant. formerly Holmes & Edwards was made by The Farmer in connection with the following state- ment in the Meriden Journal, having to do with an arrest in New York city. MT. Edwards was not available up to press hour:
 The International Silver Company ds mentioned in the arrest in New York of Edward F. Cragfn, of Brook lyn. on a complaint of Richard. IT. King, of Brooklyn. charged with grand 1arcenys by. fake pretenses. Cragin is held in N,0o0 bail for hearing on Fridey. ..e-.sIz--a
 King says he invented process by which silver may be prevented from tarntSh1ng, and he. went to Cragin for aid In exploiting it. Cragin is secre- tary Of . securities concern interested Cra9fn eventually informed him that hei (CraSin) had found a MT. Ed wards who was interested in the In- ternatfonal Silver Company and who would put up $26.000 to push the process. The three men, King says, met March Il last, and entered into a contract.
 Tt was agreed that s1.25O,oOo cor poration be formed and Cragin should float the stock But. Cragin insisted on a retainer and King paid him @40o0 for expenses, it is alleged.
 Colonel Alexander E. Bacon, Cra- sins counsel, said last night Cragin and an associate in his business of handling good industrial propositions that were worthy did receive $2, 600 from the invention for necessary ex- penses ; of examination, circularizing and dsdnveStiGAtion. Colonel Bacon al- 70 asserted that the Gorham company and other large fsilversmiths told Cra- gin that if a test of. the process prov cd successful there would be millions to back the concern, but King had declined to permit a test
