To See Throuuh Paper,

A very remarkable experiment which any one can repeat with very little trouble has been unearthed by a Ger man. Take a piece of paper of such thickness that when it is laid upon a piece of printed matter the characters just show through, but cannot be read Placing it over printed sheet. impart to 1t a circular motion to and fro, and to your surprise you will find that now you can read the print below the pa- per. 1t Is rather difficult to explain this peculiar effect. The explanation of fered is that the paper has thin places In 1t, and by rapidly moving 1t over the print every part of the printed matter is exposed in turn underneath one or the other of the thin places in the pa- per, and thus the entire print can be read. However that may be. the ex- pertinent is interesting and very sim pie. requiring for its performance only the simplest means imaginable.-New York Press.

Halnind Her Mamma.

The Youngs had dropped in unex- pectedly upon the BaiIeys just as din ner was about to be served. Mother, who was somewhat disturbed, called Helen aside and explained that there would not be oysters enough to go round and added: "Now, you and I will just have some of the. broth. And please do not make any fuss about 1t at table"
 Little Helen promised to be good and say nothing. But when the oysters were served Helen discovered small one that had been accidentally ladled up with her broth. She could not re- member any instructions that covered this contingency, so. after studying the situation awhile, she held the oyster up as high as she could on her spoon and piped out:
 Mamma. mamma, shouldn't Mrs. Young have this oyster tooT New York Globe.

One finds aE interesting IiiK with the past in the fact that Henri Roche fort began his literary >areer as poet and in that character presented a poem, together with letter of intro duction, to no less q literary naster than Beranger, whose reply, carefully preserved by the distinguished journal ist, is interesting.
 Can 1t be true" Beranger wrote, that you are only sixteen? If I had written verses so well turned at that age I should indeed have believed that a great destiny was in store for me. But then you college gentlemen are brought up, as it were, in forcing houses, whereas when I was sixteen hardly knew how to spell. Remember, then, all the devices employed for the development of your faculties and do not be too uplifted by vanity at the praises of an old rimer. dazzled by your compliments"
 And the letter concludes with com mendation to the young aspirant to re turn to his studies and not to chal- lenge serious criticism by premature publication.-Wesmin Gazette.

This Time the Lawyer Scored.

A lawyer appeared before one of the New York city boards asking that damages be awarded to certain clients because of change of grade in their street. When he had completed his ar gument the president said: "Mr. Blank, you ought to know better than to take up the time of this board in this man. ner. You are too good a lawyer not to allow that on your own presentation of facts these people have not the shadow of a legal claim against the city" "Your remarks are fully justi- fled, MT. President" said Mir. Blank. "I not only expected them, but you have done me a favor by making them. There are times when a lawyer is so pushed by his clients who seem to know more about the law than he does that the only thing he can do is to let them come up against 1t them selves. They probably know as much about 1t now. as I did before. I thank you for your attention" With that he took up his books and left the room. followed by a half dozen crestfallcn clients.

Coast Guards In EnaIan nd.

Should a coast guard in Great Britain stationed at any particular place fall in love there, say, with the village beauty, his marriage Is instantly fol lowed by his transfer to another and generally far distant station. The req son for this is that in the old days, when smuggling was universal at small coast towns, the marriage of a coast guard with a girl living in the locality was considered dangerous, as it might interfere with him in the dis charge of his duties should any of the smuggling parties be among his wife's relatives, and regulation was framed compelling the newly married man to be instantly transferred elsewhere. To this day, therefore, and in places where smuggling is an unheard of practice, the unfortunate coast guard, directly after his marriage, must drag his wife away from the home of her youth and her family ties and dwell where she could have little chance of revisiting her people.

Literary Coincidences.

Tennyson said of strange literary coincidence, "A Chinese scholar some time ago wrote to me saying that tn an unknown, untranslated Chinese poem there were two whole lines of mine almost word for word" Byron in his monody on the death of Sheridan, where he says there will never be an- other Sheridan, the mold being broken up, employs, word for word, terms in which an ancient Sanskrit document refers to the death of Maru, notwith- standing that Byron could never have seen the document. Shakespeare's passage about love and lightning in Romeo and Juliet" ii, 2, is almost identical with a quotation from "Na- lata and Madhava," an Indian poem by Bhavabuti, written nine centuries before and not translated up to Shake speare's time.

Educate the Left Hand.

Dr. Haenkel, well known German physician. writing in the SHamburG Nachrichten, recommends the educa- ton of the left hand as a method of mental development by bringing the right lobe of the brain into activity. He says that in this way we can add 90 per cent to our power and that the left hand is actually more delft and has a more delicate touch than the right. The violinist and the pianist exact the same service from both hands, and many of the greatest artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Holbein and Land seer. were ambidertrous. The Jana nese are taught in school to use both hands alike, and, says pr. Haenkel. their astonishing manual dexterity and military genius, believe, are traceable to this alone"

Wonderful Reasonino.

Y We had taken the tram at Dupont circle, and as we strung around into Connecticut avenue I said to my conl- panion:
 | DO you see that lady across the aisle?'
 "You mean the left handed girl?'
 T mean the one with the blue scarf. "
 "Yes, the left handed one" F. My dear. I replied II acknowledge that you have reduced deduction to a science, but surely you are testing when you pretend to say that you can pick out a left handed girl at a glance"
 Nothing easier, my dear Watson. By glancing at her hat you will see that she is wearing an enormous hat pin and that the jeweled head of the pin is on the left side of her millinery. Nothing easier, my dear Watson-a mere trife."-Washington Star.

Roehefort Was Reckless.

The late Henri Rochefort was a good deal of a man, although we may smile at some of the Gallic eccentricities that marked his cyclonic career. Rochefort did one of the finest physial feats on record when he escaped from Cayenne, to which inferno he had been sentenc- ed for life. He was by no means a young man at the time, but he swan for over three miles in sea infested with sharks, some of them following him all the way and actually snap ping at him. Six years later he fought a serious duel in defense of his son and was badly wounded.-Argonaut.

School "Examinitis." 1"

Let us remember that there is such a thing as examinitis and that brain crammed with multitude of useless facts may show up brilliantly on an examination, but be so clogged as to be unable to put the knowledge to practical use. We know we are rais- ing the pedagogue's ire by thus stating that there is such a thing as too much knowledge. but as a fact the worlds work is being done by specialists who are densely ignorant of everything out side their respective narrow spheres and of many things inside too.-Amer- ican Medicine.

men and women will not buy the

they will actively oppose the deal

Under the circumstances, it is not
likely that Hearst will get his pOliti-
cal hooks into the suffrage move
ment in Illinois through this little
financial deal with the officers of one
woman's suffrage organization, and
that he will have no more circulation
and influence after he gets through
than he had when he pulled off the
deal with the women.
1t has been suggested that this
special edition be made an exclusive
society affair and nobody allowed to
participate unless they belong to
Chicago's most exclusive porkpack-
ing circles; and that out of gratitude
to Hearst he be admitted to the 400.

SUFFRAGE EDITION TO 90 ON
WITHOUT HEARING PROTEST
After having agreed to hold a meet
ing and hear protests from the Chi
cago Federation of Labor and the
Woman's Trade Union League
against hitching the suffrage move
ment up to Hearst, the officers of the
Illinois Equal Suffrage League de-
Cided to go ahead with the special
suffrage edition of The Examiner
without hearing the protest.
This means that the suffrage edi-
ton will be handled almost exclu-
sively by club women, and that wo-
men workers and their friends will
have nothing to do with it.
Labor leaders believe that the at
tempt to hitch onto the suffrage
movement is Hearst's dying gasp in
Chicago, and that he hoped to get
back the circulation he lost by being
the goat for the publishers trust and
locking out union pTessmen last year.
