Upon his advent into this city he re-

Secretary Garrison sent message 10
President Wilson notifying him Of his

The governors message was relayed
from Washington before it reached the
secretary and read:

PITTSBURG. March 29.-Reports re-
ceived here to-day from Marietta,
Ohio, said that the flood situation there
was the worst in the history Of the
city. The Ohio river stage exceeded
the high record Of 1884 by six feet.
Although it was believed the loss of
life there would not be great, one-t third
of the town has been swept away by
the floods, the report said. Refugees
are now being housed in college build
ings and churches Food and clothing
are badly needed.

Daddy Bedtime
~ The Gilded
- Chick IN the
Weather Vane.

&C., FAVE I ever told you the story of how the rooster got his place ON
- the weather vaneY asked daddy. @ #@
Jack and Evelyn could not remember that he had, $ he began:
"Once upon a time there was a mother hen who was noted for
her handsome chicks. Every one admired them, and she was very proud Of
her little ones. /. @.##@@
"Once she did not have her usual luck with a setting Of eggs. When the
little chicks came out Of the shells there "a ne egg out OF which cam a
little half chick. He had one eye and one wing and one leg.
Zone day the little half chick said to his mother: Pm going travelling.
I'm tired of this old barnyard'
""This barnyard may be dull, but it's a very safe place, his mother an.
swad. # - ## @# H@##
ar shall be quite safe. I'm going to visit the king the half chick said.
"'You are very foolish his mother warned him THE king doesn't care
anything about chickens except in pies |
But the little chick paid n attention to his mother and started out to
to clear away the weeds that were choking it. He answered that he had no
time and hurried on. #N #&
"a little farther along he came to a fire that was being snothered with
damp sticks. The fire asked his hap. I'm going to seet the king, and I can't
be bothered with you the half chick told it.
Then he came to a bush in which the wind was tangled, and when the
wind wished the chick to help free it he hoped right on, paying no attention.
And when he came to the kings palace the cook was making a pie for
his majesty. The king was wonderfully fond of chicken pie, and, seeing the
little half chick, the cook caught it and threw it into the pot to boil for the pie.
"The chick begged the water not to drown it and the fire not to burn it.
but these answered that when they were in trouble he would not help them
So the chick was burned % a crisp and when the cook saw this she took the
pot and threw him out. >% .N1 ##
1.-THE wind wa passing just then, and it took the chick and whirled him
round and round. The chick begged the wind to let him go. The wind replied
that when it had asked the chick to free It from the push he had refused and
now he need expect no favors from it. and the wind whirled the half chick to
the top Of the church tower, and there he stood, turning round and round,
keeping his head toward the wind 30 that he might hear what the wind said
And since then there always has been a one legged fowl o. weather yanes"

Fantastic Faith.

When Nine. Annie Besant was ac-
| cording brief audiences to the unbe-
lieving in a pretty little hotel placed at
her service by n Of the elect of the
Partisan world, says DR.. Frank
Crane, Emile de Saint-Auban pene-
trated into her sanctuary and asked
her if she believed hat faith was fail
ing among men.
There are no ~unbelievers," replied
the prophecies. The unbelievers OF
today believe a lot of things"
A very shrewd truth! Also that
saying Of Joseph de Maistre: we are
approaching the greatest Of religious
epochs."
The variety of bizarre "beliefs" is
inconceivable Cities are full Of them.
All around, our fevered money-making
plays the most amazing spiritual
freakishness. We have as man. sooth-
sayers, cry~stal-gazer3, nocromancers,
philter-concocters, hoodoo artists,
~clairvoyants, fortune tellers and spook
dealers in general in Boston or Chica-
go as they had in Tyre or Troy.
Humanity continues to believe as
tierCely, u~nreasoningly and pugna-
ciOusly now as in former times, though
an era of tolerance has cut our fangs.
There is no city without it's varie-
gated cults, movements and new reli-
gions. Sometimes they are pursued in
cheap boarding houses, sometimes in
hired theatres, sometimes they build
expensive temples. And the newer and
~crazier the faith the more militant it
is.
Huysmans states that they are still
celebrating the iniquities of the BLACK
mass" in certain houses in Versailles.
There is hardly a superannuated god
Of Olympus or of Walhalla that cannot
find some worshipers, he adds, in Par

They recently had a congress of
spiritists at Geneva, where all the
sharpshooters of metaphysics gathered
to compare their strange facts and
incidentally to dine at tables that, let
us hope, were not tipped by uneasy
ghosts.
l know a perfectly rational man, to
all appearances, who confidently be-
lieves that the world. is coming to an
end in 1914. He is disposing Of his
property and going to move TO the
mountains so as to be high and dry
when the wave hits us.
1t sometimes seems as if the modern
tired business man. or society Wo-
man" will swallow any sort of out
landish faith? provided it is not or
thodox.
1t all means the irrepressible hunger
of the human spirit. If it cannot find
bread it will eat shucks and boot tops.
Utter materlaIlsm is impossible. The
human soul will not believe in mud.
Brahmanism and Buddhism have
many followers in America. The east
still fascinates.
Last summer at S~tonehenge, in Eng
land, where are the Druid ruins of
stone temples, there was a meeting of
English sun worshippers, and girls
danced in the dew and saIuted the
rising star of day.
There never was greater opportunity

ELECTRIC LEGISLATION.

In this age of modern conveniences,
brought about by the miracles Of in
vention, n is almost impelled to stop
now and then, when it is realized all
that has been made possible, and ex-
claim with the young woma who sent
the first telegraph message over Sam
uel Morse's first wire, What hath God
wrought"
How. old Ben Franklin would marvel
at the wonders that "a been wrought
since the days when he used to stand
out in the transforms and jingle a key
at the end of a kite string. Yet every
thing must have a beginning just as
every genius must nave a forerunner
and he served as both. Fol- he opened
the door to an enlightened world and
pointed a path for the wizard Edison.
Electric lighted cities, electric loco
motives, electric cooking, electric
dramas, electric appliances for every
thing from the conveying of the sound
of the human voice for thousands of
miles to the apparatus for the recup-
Grafton of health and physical
strength. So commonplace AVE all
these things become that little inter-
est is aroused these days when some
discovery is made for a new use for
electricity.
Electricity has made possible so
much in the brief term of years it has
been exploited that perhaps the an
.nouncement OF legislation in certain
European governments by its power
will create wonder and comment only
for the passing moment.
Yet 1t is so that electricity will soon
play an important part in the passage
of the national statutes in the pro-
gressive chamber of deputies of Aus
tria whose presiding officer has decid-
ed to make a trial of an electric vot-
ing machine for use in the house.
Each member will nave two electric
buttons IN his desk. One will be
marked Pro and the other Contra.
On the wall opposite the presidents
chair an indicator is fixed consisting
of SIG glass tablets numbered in or
der from 1 to the highest number
mentioned.
These tablets are normally dark but
when a vote is taken each either shows
a white light for PRO" or a red light
for Contra. Each member has a
number corresponding to one on the
board and can therefore personally
check the accuracy of his vote.
An automatic apparatus counts the
vote and the totals are shown on an
other indicator. If names are requir-
ed, they are shown on the glass tab
let's in either white or red letters. In
case of a secret vote. the glass tablet
indicator is switched off, and only the
counting apparatus remains active.

points toward manual utility; where
the purpose to fill some industrial
position with efficiency is clearly
understood and the desire to enjoy
both the labor and the results of labor
is the controlling impulse.
"The skilled workman enjoys a
larger earning capacity as a result Of
his knowledge of applied science. The
leisure he is thus able to command
will enable him to acquire sufficient
culture to enrich his life. as well as to
earn his living productivity, which is
desirable. For the rising spirit Of
democracy is demanding positive serv-
ice in return for educational advan-
tages. To reap where others SOW or
prosper by another's sweat is coming
into ~disrepute. The difference between
a position and a job also Is losing it's
social significance.
"The new spirit Of democracy is de-
imanding Of the public schools men of
character who also are able n will
ing to give an equivalent for what
they would possess. The public is be-
ginning to recognize that intellect APP
piled to grading a roadhed, managing
a loom, or operating a dairy plant is as
dignified and quite as respectable as
when exploited for the purpose of
clearing a known criminal from the
penalties of the law or giving advice
that enables predatory concerns to
loot the public without being caught.
But where the theoretical teacher
clouds the students understanding with
technicalities and im~practicable CLASH
fcations for want, himself, of expert
ence IN practical world-affairs, there
the danger lies. AS well devote the
major. part of a students education to
ancient history and the dead languag-
es as to scientific. research that has
no bearing upon his aptitudes and no
relation to his future interests. Chem
istry as chemistry is one thing, but
Chemistry as applied to practical agri-
culture or other industrial pursuits is
quite a different thing. And chemistry
as understood for practical usefulness
might not, on examination day. admit
Of a. passing mark, while anotler's
chemistry would pass at 100 and YET
have but little value,3saVe as a mental
ACQUISITION. This is true of science in
general. The chief danger OF over
specialization lies In the fact that too
have such slight acquaintance with
practical things; with creating wealth
from original sources or with the mode
Of life that most people must live.
