WOMAN GOT A LESSON
INCIDENT OF TWO GIRLS AND
THE STOLEN PEONlES.
How the Shabby Dressed Man ADJ
ninistcred Gentle But Effective Re-
proof to the Owner of the
PiIaged Brooklyn Garden.

Two poorly dressed little girls
stood outside the garden of a hand
some residence in st. Marks avenue,
Brooklyn. and gazed longingly at the
beautiful white and scarlet peonies
that bloomed within. Finally the
temptation became irresistible, and
the elder, scaling the low hedge that
separated the garden from the street;
proceeded to help herself to the flow
ers.
She had two of the blooms in her
hands and was reaching for third
when a smartly dressed woman
dashed out of the house and seized
her.
Now, you little thief. I'm going
to turn you over to the police she
said
"Oh, please, missus," begged the
child, groveling at her feet; "oh,
please don't get me arrested! l only
wanted a few-and they looked so
pretty
But the woman was adamant. She
was slowly dragging the child to-
warn lie sue" din Repeating hSl
threat about the police when shah
by looking man came along. He
gazed at the two for an instant. while
an expression of panied surprise
came over his face Then, raising his
dingy derby politely, he inquired
what the trouble was.
Nothing" snapped the woman, Tex
cept that l caught this little thief
stealing my peonies. And I'm going
to teach her a lesson if I have to take
her to the station house myself
A curious look came into the shah
by mans eyes. Then he began to
tumble in his pockets A few seconds
later he held out to the woman an
open palm on which two dimes re-
posed.
IF thesell pay for what damage
she's done, | wish you'd take them
and let her CO." he said.
An indignant blush spread over the
woman's face, and then it deepened-
into a blush of shame. She relaxed
her grasp on the little girls arm and
there she paused and turned toward
the shabby one, who still held the two
dimes in his hand:
I'm sorry" she said, "and-I
thank you."-New York Evening

Oriojn of Salt in Ocean.

The origin of the salt in the sea Is
usually attributed to the constant
washing of salts from the land by
rain and rivers, and the gradual de-
posting of them in the sea, through
evaporation. In every 100 parts Of
sea water there are about two and
one-half parts of salt. 1t has been
computed that there are 100000
cubic miles of rock salt in the oceans,
14R times the bulk of the continent
of Europe above high-water mark
The Atlantic is much saltier than the
other oceans. Prof. Alexander Woei-
kow, of ST. Petersburg. believes that
this is due to the large amount Of
water vapor that is carried onto the
continents bordering this ocean,
which are comparatively low where
they front the sea.

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation of the coun-
try's Statesmen.

There is plenty of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
tcise, was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior OF
the car. One advertised new kind
of collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars, and on the SEN
ate and house wings of the build
ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
of the capitol read, Quarter size"
and that on the other end said. Two
for a quarter"
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.
That he remarked, lust about

these here congressman. Judge.

Child's Fear of the Dark.

If mothers notice that the brains of
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of a room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force a child
to become accustomed to the darkness
is a grave error, if it's nervous system
is so organized that this forcing Is
productive of fright
The nervous system of a child is
very susceptible organization and the
deleterious impressions made upon it
throughout it's whole after life. If the
child asks for a light under such cir
cumstances do not refuse it.

much nonsense concerning the social
ed ursuption of power by the federal
judiciary in pronouncing the laws OF
state legislatures or congress uncon-
stitutional
"The very nature of our written con-
stitution implies that the representa-
tives of the people can exercise only
the powers conferred upon them by the
constitution and the judiciary must
necessarily adjudge void any act not
authorized by the constitution
"This does not suppose the super
iority of the judiciary to legislative
power. 1t only supposes that the
power of the people is superior to both
and that where the will of the legis-
lature stands in opposition to the will
of the power declared in the constitu-
ton the judges ought to be governed
by the latter.
I'm in entire sympathy with the
reasons that lead to the enactment
of laws providing for the nomination
of candidates directly, but the sys-
tenn by which laws are made by postal
card, and by popular petition tend to
destroy the office so as to make it un-
attractive to those who might other
wise even subject themselves to the
