 With the exception of the Iieuten- ant-goYernorship and the attorney generaIships the ticket adopted by the Democratic convention was shaped af- ter the spirit of the civil service. Lieu tenant Governor Ting1er of Rockville is moved to the head of the ticket with the cordial approval it is said of Governor Baldwin MT. Phillips is penominated for secretary of state the genial Danny Dunn for comptrol- Ter and MT. Roberts for treasurer These gentlemen have always been ef- hcient in the positions they have oc- cupied and can confidently invite the closest scrutiny. State Senator Geo. M. Landers, of New Britain; is the nominee for lieutenant governor and Jhon--F'- McDonough for attorney gem eraL This completes a ticket that is really exceptional in its general ex- cellence. The Democrats can now enter upon a struggle with the Re- publicans progressively. They have no apologies to make.

A STUDY IN SCARLET


 The cause of the committal of 48 per cent. of criminals to pen al institutions in one year in this country was due to sheer 1aziness. This represents the percentage of tramps sent to our jails- The tramps of to- morrow will come from the children of today. If every child fromiits earliest years is taught industry and economy if every parent who reads this will give their children 8 Bank Account-the Tramp problem would be rapidly solved, No one ever heard of a Tramp with a Bank Account.

The wind came sweeping through the
garden OF an old Lincolnshire rectory
one morning in the beginning of last
century and blew upon a child five
years old, who opened his arms to the
blast and let it carry him along, cry
ing as he Travelled, II hear a voice
that's calling in the wind" That was
Tennyson's first line Of poetry. The
first poem he ever composed was writ
ten upon slate one Sunday morning
at Louth. The subject, set him by his
brother Charles, was Flowers" and
little Alfred covered his slate witt
blank verse after the model Of Thorn
sons Seasons" His next attempt was
an elegy upon his grandmother, who
had just died, written at the request OF
his grandfather. When 1t was written
the old man put 10 shillings into the
boys hand and said, There; that is
the first money you have ever earned
by your poetry, and, take my word
for it, 1t will be the last"-Westmin-

There is a spirit of poetry about a
barn, and unconsciously men are
touched by It, In youth 1t kindles our
imagination and fosters our suscepti-
bility to the simple beauty of COM
mon things; daybreak, with the fresh
sweetness of the wet grass about us
as we go up the path toward the great
barn still darkly silhouetted against
the Frightening sky. with the wealth
ercock. high up against the topmost
band Of pink. pointing to clear. With
the opening of the barn door the days
work begins; the horse whinnies at the
sound for his corn; the cattle move ex-
pectantly in their stanchion rows; the
chickens cackle and cluck In the hay
loft as they drop fluttering to the floor.
Day has begun-day, with all its &C.
tivities, with all its commonplaceness,
with all its mysteries Something of
all this we feel unknowingly as we
pull back the heavy bolt and throw
open the barn door.-Suburban Life.

Iins of suiftsst Descent.

What is the line Of swiftest descent
To any one not acquainted with the
laws Of higher mathematics PROPOSE
ton such as this would appear absurd,
the most obvious answer being a
straight line However, it has been
proved by mathematician that the
line of swiftest descent is a curve call
ed the cycloid. 1t is this curve that the
eagle unconsciously utilities in his won
derfully swift swoop to his prey. The
analysis Of the curve is simply a
straight line motion combined with a
circular motion. The best illustration
showing this is a cartwheel as it rolls
along the ground. Any point on the
rim Of the wheel is describing a cy-
cloid, and no point Is at any time de-
scribing a circle or going In a straight
line. A peculiar thing is deduced from
this knowledge, and that is that no
point on the rim Of a wheel rolling
on a surface goes round the center Of
the wheel, for the center is describing
a straight line, and all the points on
the rim are describing cycloids; thus
as no circular motion exists, the state
ment holds.-New York Press.

Different Doctors,

There are a great many doctors"
who know nothing of medicine. In
its technical sense doctor is a universe
ty degree. the highest given. 1t is
given in recognition of Attachments in
many branches of learning, and so
there are several kinds of doctors.
There is the familiar M. D., doctor of
medicine; the LII. D., doctor Of laws;
the Phi. d., doctor Of philosophy; the
d. D., doctor Of divinity; the ]. D.,
doctor of jurisprudence; the d. d. S.,
doctor OF dental surgery, and many
another. So II you hear a man re-
ferred to as doctor you must find
out what he is doctor of before you
can determine to which profession he
belongs.
Doctor OF laws seems to have been
the earliest of the doctors degrees, II
having been awarded as early as the
twelfth century. Doctors Of divinity
appeared somewhat later. 1t was a
century before the now familiar NJ. D.

An echo is a sound repeated from
some obstructing surface so that a
person in the path OF both the original

The largest tusks Of Indian ele-
plants measure not over four or five
feet in length. outside curve, and about
sixteen inches in circumference at the
gum and weigh about seventy-four
pounds. The tusks, except those Of
very aged elephants, are solid only for
a portion of their length. The hollow
is filled with firm. bloody pulp. In
young animals the tusks are solid only
for portion Of their length even out

sunstroka on Mountaina.

Sunstroke. according to experiments
made by Professors Victor Henry and
Moycho and reported to the French
Academic des Sciences, Is due to the
invisible ultra violet rays at the ex-
treme limit of the spectrum. If the
solar spectrum be examined at an alti-
tude Of from 1900 to 1000 meters 1t
will be seen that the limit of these
rays varies little. but that their inten-
sity is greatly increased. At sea level
this intensity is comparatively feeble.
So one is much more likely to have
sunstroke on high mountain than in a
valley.-New York World.

To traveller arriving at night Paris

 It has been stated that Buck Herzog is the hardest and most rigid taskmaster in major league circles. This is borne out in the suspension of Outfielder Marsans and Pitcher Davenport because they made an ab- surd demand for larger salary
 Now that Cincinnati has a firm man at the head of her baseball affairs she needs another to let daylight in through the domes of the bleacher gods at the Cincinnati park. Fans of this city are among the most unreas- enable in their demands of any In the big league circuit, and 1t has been mainly due to their constant pickering and nagging at players that the team has gone poorly in the past. Accord ing to authorities many promising youngsters have been lost to the Reds because the fans took dislike to them and worried them so that they could not play up to their usual standard
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-05

X TOW that Pitcher Ponder has
 been disposed of, local scribes \ and fans should just as well desist in their attempts to display artagonism against either Jimmy Ma gee and Clyde Mcbride As expressed in this paper some days back, both will be kept during the coming season and no amount of discontent shown by local fans or serfbes will cause the local management to alter it's policy In the first place, neither could be got ten safety out of the league for there are several teams waiting eagerly to grab a reliable outfielder. and then both are possessed of many of the necessary requisites for this organ ization. So unless one of them falls off badly, both will wear a Baron uni form throughout the campaign.
 The next fag-raising in the Southern league will take place in Chatta- nooga. So says prolific scribe of that city. He bases his claims on the grounds that the team which beats the Barons will be the one to win the old rag, and that as the L0okouts did this in the series just past, they Will finish on top of the heap next Septem- Der. While we wish to thank the afore- said scribe for considering the Barons the most dangerous team In the cir cult, we wish to remind him of the fact that the race is only about one- fourth run, and also that the Look outs failed to show any remarkable strength when they made feeble at tempt to best the locals in their own stronghold a short while back.
 Excuses are easy to compose, and no doubt one will be forthcoming for the poor showing made by Moose" Mccormick and his valets when they catered to the wants of thef Barons here several weeks ago, Already it has been set forth that the absence of Jack Johnson in the Birmingham series weakened the [ ,okout team to such an extent that 1t MS not able to oppose the Barons with anything like it's usual aggressiveness- From this it seems that the Southern league teams are not playing Chattanooga this year, but one Jack Johnson not he of pugllistic fame)-
 Dark rumors are foat ting around that Mike Finn Is securing the woods in search of new second baseman, and also that Billy Smith Is casting fran tically around for another third base guardian It Is truely wonderful how some scribes who are suffering for want of news will try to delude the public by some fake stall. As mat ter of fact, Mike Finn is content with Captain Mullen as second base guardian, and has officially stated he was, while Bill Smith also has no desire to change his third sacker- just yet.
 Enzenroth has made good his threat. Rather than play in the south he has joined the Federals, en1sting with the Kansas City club. It will be remem- bered that some days ago Manager Branch Hickey of the Browns turned him over to the Crackers for little more seasoning, but he baked on com ing south, and threatened to jump If Hickey insisted that he join the At lanta club.
