THE HAPSBURG LIP
Peculiar Inheritance Of the Spanish
Sovereign.

Peculiar Inheritance Of the Spanish
Sovereign.
In much of the recent writing on ne
redity and eugenics reference is made
to the "Hapsburg lip" as an example
of a we'll marked hereditary character
in the human race. This characteristic
lip is seen in the portraits of the pres
ent king of Spain, whose lower lip Is
rather thick, pendulous and prominent
This character is first noted in the de-
scriptions and is repeated in the series
of generations marked by his son Max
imillian !. (14B9-1619) portraits OF
Frederick III. (1415-1499 and his
grandson, Philip le Beau (147S-1506.
The sons of Philip, Karl ". (1500-155S)
and Ferdinand !. (15O3-1564) had SIM
liar lips. The Spanish royal family re-
ceived this characteristic through Karl
".
One peculiarity of this trait Is the
fact that 1t Is almost exclusively in the
male members Of the family. On the
other hand, women of the family who
had normal lips frequently transmitted
the character to their sons. Thus Ma
ria Theresa had normal lips. but her
children had thickened lips. This Is
not, however, a clear case. since the
husband Of Maria Fheresa. Francis Of
through his grandmother, although he
did not have the family lip:
The transmission of characters to
male members Of family through
their mothers, who do not manifest the
character in question, is a well=estab-
lished law for several human traits
such as eQler blindness, night blind
ness and others.-Harper's Weekly.

These are the Great Forces that Con-

Hate Ia the law of unintelligent pro-
gress; love is the law of intelligent
progress. War 10 the method Of pro-
gress among brutes; cooperation 10 the
method Of human progress All the uni
verse seems to be organized upon the
principle Of fighting. What a long.
grim battle sounds in that cold scien-
tifc phrase, 1.-THE survival Of the fit-
test!" It means that ever since life
appeared on this globe 1t has existed
struggling. The plants Of the field war
upon each other until the weakest are
suppressed. The animalcule in a drop
of water devour their kind. One sort
CT corpuscles in the blood eat other
corpuscles. The big fishes eat the lit
tie ones and the parasites eat the
whales. Nature ,is q huge slaughter
house:
The world's evolution UPWARD has
been progressive, bloody war. John
Fiske says: Battles far more deadly
than Gettysburg or aravelotte have
been necessarily Waged on every square
mile of earth's life bearing surface
since life first began"
Looking at all this record we are
easily deceived into concluding that
war 10 mans normal condition, that
business ought to be competitive
struggle, and that we progress only by
contest. But, as matter Of fact we
forget here the important truth that
with the appearance Of man In the
world a new force entered. In the in
tellectual, moral and social realm 1t Is
not competition but cooperation that
makes progress.
The development Of civilization has
been in spite of and not because Of
wars. Greece created her marvels Of
art and letters by co-operation; these
things were Destroyed by war. Only as
men have learned to get together have
they advanced in the arts and inven-
tions.
War Of any kind is unnecessary, stu
pid and brutal All the ends sought
could have been gained better some
other way.
All the vast achievements In the
business world. such as railroads
banking packing, irrigation, whole
sailing and the like, are the result OF
uniting large numbers Of men in
common, mutually helpful enterprise
We are beginning to see that any sort
of confict, even the competition OF re-
tail stores is not the best way to pro-
mote the good to all. Wherever there
are opposing forces the public suffers.
We advance only as one hand washes
the other.
In some way the trusts and combines,
which we call evil. are preparing the
way for the universal cooperation
when war shall be abolished from the
commercial world, society shall thor
oughly organize Its business, and ev-
cry man shall find place to help and
be helped.
Brutes progress by devouring one
another; men by helping one another.

CHOCOLATE PLANT NATIVE.
Cultivated in Many Countries, but
Americas its Home.


Americas its Home.
The chocolate plant is native OF
America. When first introduced into
Europe, chocolate was used only as
luxury, but 1t speedily advanced In
popular esteem. 1t Is now cultivated
in countries far from its original home
The chocolate plant, as we'll as tea and
coffee, has been cultivated from time
immemorial. Chocolate as a beverage
rapidly made it's way In Europe, be-
ginning in Spain, whittier 1t was first
brought.
The seeds of the chocolate plant are
in pods. In preparing the seeds for
market there has been but little change
since early times. First the seeds are
allowed to ferment, and thus they lose
the slight bitterness which they pos
sess when fresh. Then they are care
fully dried, and in this condition they
stand transportation. In manufacture
ing the seeds or beans are roasted, by
which process the shell Of the seed
which Is the part used. Next the roast
ed kernels are ground.
In early times the Mexicans used
the flat stones on which their maize
was ground for the grinding of the
roasted seeds of chocolate. Chocolate
consists of the roasted, shelled and
ground seeds. Sweet chocolate Is the
same with the addition of sugar and
favoring extracts. Cocoa consists OF
the roasted and ground seeds from
which the oil has been removed. Ex-
periments have shown that if the seeds
are rightly treated from the first to
the last stage Of manufacture no objec-
tion can be urged against the bever-
ages produced from them. 1t is OF
great Importance that these seeds
should be grown and selected with the
greatest care and should, after reach
ing the factory, receive the most care
full and skillful reatment.-Harper's
Weekly.

Our opinion Is that the work could

sideration of this proposition con-

Flags the Sheriff.
Further over in the presentment the
grand jury flays the sheriff, ]. Perry
Poole. They state that the sheriff was
fourteen months behind time in making
returns on tax executions. UP to Octo-
Der 81. 1912, the grand jurors were un-
able to get statement from the sheriff
as to the executions issued in March,
1912. although they should have been
returned July 1, three months previous.
Recommends New Courthouse.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
erection Of new court house has been
frequently recommended and the fact
that the proposition has twice been
voted down by popular vote, the grand
jury again recommends the erection of
a structure that shall be in keeping
with the resources and standing of the
county.
The grand jury attributes the defeat
of the measure to the fact that there
was no definite plan submitted for dis
posing Of the present property. It
recommends the erection, upon the
present site, Of six-story, re-enforced
concrete building, brick veneered, pro-
vided with two storerooms on the
ground floor. all county offices on the
second floor, business offices on the
third floor, sleeping rooms on the fourth
floor, a rest room for those attending
the court and visiting the city and
grand jury rooms on the fifth floor and
the court room on the sixth floor with
full equipment Of light, heat and ele-
vators. The estimated cost Of such
structure Is s125,O0O, and the income
from store rent, etc., not less than ST.
900 annually, while the interest on
bonds would be $3.50.

BEARS AND THEIR WAYS

Popular Ideas ABOUT 6ruih FaHliiy Shdt
are Only Half True.
Many of the conventional ideas as
to bears have endured from periods
long antedating the Investigations of
naturalists. Certain of these ideas are
absurd; others have a foundation in
fact.
1t is a fact that the representative
polar bear of the greatest strength,
courage and ferocity has yellowish
coat, and that the pure white coat, az
a general rule, is a mark of cowardice.
1t is difficult to account for this fact,
unless it be ascribed to some taint OF
albinism which Is almost invariably
accompanied by weakness and degener-
acy in an animal. 1t has been pointed
out that there must have been time
in the dim past when a single type OF
bear living on a mixed diet Of flesh and
fruit, to which polar bears in captivity
speedily adapt themselves, the lighter
and more speedy Of these animals
would tend to go northward, finding
food later in the autumn than the 9TH

winter torpor. Thus they would pro-
duce the highly specialized type which

COYOTE NOT A COWARD.
Prairie Wolf Battles BraveIy With

Twenty-Five Dogs.
The coyote, or prairie wolf, having
acquired a bad reputation for coward
ice and other unworthy qualities, Is
being rehabilitated as a fighting ami
NAL in the far northwest, where his
warfare on sheep has led to the insti-
tuition of coyote drives" writes Q con-
tributor to the New York Press. Rab-
bit drives are common in the west.
Hundreds Of men turn out and drive
jack rabbits into a sort Of corral, where
they are killed in great numbers. The
success Of the rabbit drives led many
people to suppose that the coyote
could be rounded up" In the same
way.
One experiment was tried In south
ern Idaho. Hundreds Of men and boys
worked all day in driving In the coy.
otes, which swaFm all through the re-
gion, and when they, the men and
boys, had all converged at the corral
they found just one coyote in 1t, and
he got away!
When the next great coyote drive
took place better precautions were TAX

Oregon. About $50 farmers. all thirst

were mounted on horseback, and they
took with them fifty dogs. They scour-
ed the country and kept well together.
and after a good and well-managed
ride sixty coyotes were rounded up In
q field.
There was great excitement now,
and some of the Younger and more in
experienced men thought they only
had to put these sixty "cowardly"
creatures to death in a heap. They
soon found they were mistaken. The
coyotes made grand and concerted
rush for the compact line Of men,
horses and dogs that hemmed them,
and when this rush was over the hunt
ers found that they had only nine
wolves within their inclosure. All the
rest were roaming the plains Of east
ern Oregon at their own sweet wills.
The hunters now turned their atten-
tlon to those that were left, and, chief
ly by the help of the dogs succeeded In
putting them to death. Only, one dog
out of the fifty, however, proved ade-
quate to the task of actually killing a
coyote, and he killed several Of the
nine.
One Of the coyotes was the most va
liant fighter the hunters ever had seen.
No gray wolf, no grizzly could have
fought with more determination or
with more skill and to better effect. At
one time twenty five dogs were engag-
ed In an attack upon this coyote. and
such was the extraordinary swiftness
of his teeth that he kept them all at
bay.
The men declared they got more ex-
citement out Of this raid on the coyotes
than they ever had obtained from any
other hunt. Acting on the experience
gathered in it, they at once organized
another drive and hope to do better
next time.

and 1910 New York had forty two elec.
toral votes, and hence exercised ar
enormous influence In contest for the
presidency.
In the days when Jackson and Van
Buren, were most conspicuous in pub
lie affairs New York city and the east.
ern counties could usually be reckoned
on to support them or the candidates
known to represent them. On the other
hand, the western counties were anti
Jackson strongholds, and on them the
opposition depended to roll up majori-
ties large enough to overcome those of
the east. Out of the situation grew the
phrase wait for the news from Cay
uga bridget" because 1t was over this
bridge that the news from the western
counties must be brought on its way to
the metropolis.
The bridge had given its name to q
small village on Cayuga Lake, about
eleven miles west Of Auburn. The first
general use Of the phrase appears to
have been in 1884, when William H.
Seward was running as a Whig candi-
date for governor against William L.
Marcy. 1t spread outside of New York
state; and Pennsylvania, which with
her thirty-tw electors ranked next to
New York in potential control, devel-
oped as great an anxiety to learn ''the
news from Cayuga Bridge" as her sis
ter commonwealth.
In the early part Of the year there
had been rather startling overturn In
New York city politics. and, although
the presidential election was still two
years distant, the feeling was wide
spread that Jackson's supremacy was
threatened, and that, IL the Wings won
the governorship this time, New York
might swing to their side In the next
national struggle. The quickest mode
Of communication between New York
and Philadelphia was then by steam
boat, and the neighborhood of the
wharves where the New York lines
landed were thronged with thousands Of
people, eager to catch the first view of
the incoming boats, some Of which had
advertised system of signals with
flags, to indicate whether "the news
from Cayuga bridge" was favorable to
the Whigs or the Democrats. The
bridge having reported in favor of
Marcy, the Democrats Of Pennsylvania
took fresh heart Of hope and put in
such work that the presidential cleo
tion Of 1885 proved their faith in omens
well grounded.
In 1888 the news from the bridge
showed that the western counties had
been carried for Seward by majorities
so heavy as to overwhelm the eastern
counties, and this not only settled mat
ters for the nonce, but foreshadowed
the result Of 1910, when Harrison won
the presidency. In 1874 the news from
the bridge gave warning that Clay. the
Whig idol, had been defeated by Polk.
After that the partisan complexion of
the state became somewhat muddy,
and by 1850 the telegraph had ramified
enough to enable the New Fork oity
newspapers to gather at least approxi-
mate reports directly from most Of the
state, so that cayuga bridge lost its
ancient standing as political clearing
house, Thereafter the Harlem bridge
came to be recognized as safer line
Of demarcation, till the extension Of
the boundaries Of Greater New York
gave its present prominence to the
Bronx-New York Post.

Not a little Of the credit for 1t was
due to the fact that, three years befcre
congress had passed an act making the
date for presidential elections uniform
throughout the country-the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
bper. It fell that year on November Z,
and the returns, in actual figures, from
five states of some consequence could
not be published till November 15,
while as late as December 2 the Intel
ligencer could give only an approx
mate estimate Of the electoral strength
of the respective candidates.
In 1852 Pierce's victory over Scott
was positively known within forty
eight hours after the closing Of the
polls, but this was because enough big
states within easy telegraphic reach OF
the news centers had declared for
Pierce to make evident the landslide
which later was shown to have taken
place. It was on that occasion that
the telegraphic bulletin board was
first brought into play. 1t cut no large
figure then, but was received with such
acclaim as to make its, greater devel-
opment only a question of time.
In New York It is within the reeol-
lection Of some Of the younger genera
ton of voters when the division of par
tisan sentiment between Manhattan Is
land and the rest Of the state used to
be 40 marked that it was the common
saying that So-and-So could win II he
could come down to Harlem Bridge"

at q considerably earlier period the
bridge which held so fateful a place
was further up the state. Between 1880
