Enioms Of cravitation.

Gravitatlon is one of natures enlg-
mas. The great Newton himself did
not pretend TO know what gravitation
is. He only knew that il existed. and
he was able to prove how 1t acted. but
what It was IN and Of itself he never
knew. Gravitation IS a law OF ma
ture or a force acting in accordance
with n law Of nature. and that Is al
that the wlsest man is able to say
about it-unless he Is prepared TO talk
nonsense. Il Is like electricity. We
know perfectly well what electricity
does. but what electricity itself j.
battles the profoundest Of scientists and
philosophers. New York American.

PUNISHED THE sHREW.
Story of the vixen's Head That Deco
rates a House In Berlin.

rates House In Berlin.
In Berlin, as tourist turns into the
Heiligengeist, not far from the kali
ser's palace, he will see, fixed in niche
in the second story of the house No.
SO, bust carved in stone. This is
called the "Neidkopf" 1t represents
hideous. harpy faced woman. with
snakelike curls of hair and tongue
sticking out in mocking derision. This
is the story of its origin and purpose:
One day almost 200 years ago Fred
erick William of Prussia, "0ld Fritz"
was walking about the streets of his
city in the shabby, free and easy way
he loved, looking about for some gfiev-
ance to redress or some load to tighten,
which was an agreeable habit of this
plain living king, Looking in at win
dow, he was struck by the intent in
dustry of a humpbacked goldsmith.
and so the king entered the little shop
for chat The result of this inter
view was an order for gold table serv-
ice for the royal household, which
made the fortune of the hunchback.
Later the king made other visits to
see no wthe work was progressing and
on one of these occasions noticed a
woman in the window of the opposite
house, making the most hideous grim
aces and pointing a derisive finger at
the little cripple
"What is the matter with the shrew
over there?" asked Frederick William.
1T is envy, your majesty" exclaimed
the goldsmith. "She is the wife of u
rival goldsmith, and ever since your
majesty gave me this order she and
her daughter have not ceased to mock
and deride me-
Frederick William, paternaI in pun
ishment as well as in reward, at once
made inquiries as to the ownership Of
the house wherein this shrew lived.
He found that it belonged to her hus-
band. and therefore reasoned that
there was little likelihood Of the fam
lily moving. This seemed to please
him. He next enlisted the services OF
a sculptor and ordered him to make
the bust of woman with the most
shrewish. Xantippe like face he could
imagine. The king then bought and
renovated the house in which the
hunchback had his workshop, present
cd 1t to him and caused the bust to
be placed conspicuously above the
workroom window. Thus whenever
the envIous woman across the street
looked forth from her easement the
first thing on which her eyes fell was
this intended portrait of her amiable
self.
For more than 100 years the 'Neid-
kopf," "splteful vixen head" as one
would say In English, stood In proud
prominence. reproach to the envious
Frau Goldschmled and her descend
ants. 1t afterward mysterlusly dis
appeared. but In 1910 or thereabouts
1t was found again in forgotten col
lection of brlc-a-brac. Frederick VIII
liam ~. bought the bust for very
large price and had 1t replaced In its
original niche. where 1t stands today.

MOTHERS DAY.

Today, the second Sunday in May,
in accordance with an established
custom of recent years, is Mothers
day. 1t is a countrywide observance
and in many far separated locali-
ties special services are being held
in recognition, and everywhere the
white ~earnation, the emblematic
flower is being "worn in Mothers
honor" AS Margaret Z. Sangster
writing in the Woman's Home Com
panion expresses the sentiment:
pure as the drifted snow. spicy
and fragrant, and possessing a
lasting quality beyond that of lily
or rose, the white carnation stands
for all that Mother is to the family
and the race"
Mothers day"
What tender memories, what as
sociations are recalled by the sacred
word Mother" Not of class nor
locality, but worldwide among all
races where the maternal instinct is
paramount the word stands as the
monitor of the best and truest of
human emotions. From the cradle
to the grave Mother spans the arc
of life's uncertain course. 1t is
the first word framed by baby
lips. Old age in r%etrospection
speaks 1t in loving Renaissance.
For many today, Mother is but a
remembrance. Her work is done
and her voice and heart are stilled
in the eternal sleep. But one may
wear the white ~carnation in her
honor, and perhaps perform some
act of good which had she been
alive would have made her happy.
To many others, Mother is yet here
to administer and advise and over
look with a mothers charity the
errors and shortcomings of her
offspring. Greet her today with
new resolves to profit by the bless
ing of her existence and companion
ship; endeavor to make her feel

The Torahuamaris, a race of cave
jewellers recently discovered in the
most inaccessible parts of the Sierra
Madre Mountains in northern Next
co, have a language limited to 300
words, yet it is said they manage to
converse freely in it. They are un-
able to count beyond 10.-Boston
Globe.
AS a matter of suggestion, why
not adopt the Torahuamaris langu-
age into the United States for cam
paign purposes? OF course, in a
situation of such strained relations
as at present exist between Theo-
dore and William a limit of three
hundred words would be totally in
adequate and it would not suffice
for the Colonel's Ananias club, but
the reading public would be able
to save valuable time in keeping
posted.
