Dangerous Amusement.
-nm the CleseIand Plain Dealel

From the Cleveland Fidln Dealer.
Texas has law prohibiting the sale or
purchase Of revolvers So In Texas deal
ers simply lease weapons on demand. A
private citizen who desires to slay an
enemy steps into a hardware store. takes
ninety-nine-year lease on a comely
pistol. pays stipulated rental and walks
out armed in spite OF the law.
The significant thing about it is that
the state supreme court says neither the
dealer who leases pistol nor the man
who secures. the pistol under the lease
has violated the law. It's all perfectly
regular, says the august tribunal
Men are ingenious in the evasion of
laws which curb what they construe to
be their personal liberties. And, not to
be outdone in ingenuity, courts often
show inventive ability In interpreting
such laws which well might be the envy
of the ancient lawgivers.
Clearly these Texas gun toters are in
viting a revulsion of public feeling which
in one way or another will see that pistol
toting shall be checked regardless
whether a man gets his weapon by lease
or fee simple. The Texas court Is invft-
ing. to say the least. vigorous applica-
ton of the judicial recall. In the long
run it never pays to make any law a
joke.

If the Office window. man had not been

have beautiful thoughts. and instead Of
translating them into words. you trans
late them into plants and flowers. You
must be an artist in order to be sue
cessful florist. for success in that line con-
sists of more than putting cuttings in pots
and setting them up on bench and let
ting them grow. You must possess the
subtle knack of bringing them forward
in an unusually successful way and MAX
ing them more beautiful than your neigh
boris flowers. The florist must possess
brains. too. I'm order to be able to fore
cast the seasons fashions in flowers and
to produce exactly the things which the
market will call for. He has to. be an
artist first and business man afterward.
But always the artist first. for in this
age and place of keen competition the
shrewdest florist cannot dispose OF his
stock profitably If it is inferior.

good many florists and they have mostly
been philosophical men. His latest friend

The Income of Mathematician.

When ]. p Morgan was student at

mathematical capacity that he was
strongly urged to become a mathema-
tician. Instead. he applied his rnathe-
matics His fortune has been various
ly estimated at from $1OO,00O,0OO to
thrice that. Some notion -of what he
might have earned by mathematical
labors is given in an article in the cur
rent Cornhill by the English mathema-
tician, G. H. Bryan. His figures apply
to England, but 1t may be, assumed
that conditiloare not much better in
the United St3tes. In view OF the gen.
eral respect accorded to mathematics
In educational discussions .on the score
Of utility, an argument sometimes
pressed invidiously to the detrfment
of the classics. it is curious to find how
little this supposed practical. value
benefits the mathematician.
In England the Indian civil service
absorbs few good mathematicians,
but this hardly counts, because they
merely get their posts by passing q
good examination. As for observatory
posts. there are but twenty-four OBJ
servatories in the British empire, and
only about tttrd of these offer OPEN
ings to a man wishing to earn his liv-
ing wholly. from observatory work.
