STRANGE Scorpion Found.

A curious, strange specimen of liz
ard or scorpion was captured by Wal
ter T. Todd near the trolley station
Of the Chambersburg, Greencastle q
Waynesboro Street Railway company
at Highfield, Pa. The reptile, or what
not, was about eight inches in length
and the color of brick dust. 1t was
found lying on the ground only few
feet from the station and, on account
of the rain and cool weather, was un-
able to use its locomotive powers very
actively and was easily captured.
The reptile had an elongated body
without scales, four short legs and
short tail, and its body was almost as
tough as rubber. Where 1t came from
no one seems to know.

"MiIitari.u. There Is tho Enemy
BY Nicholas Murray Butler.

The armed peace which preceded this
war. and led directly to II, was In some
respects worse than war itself: for Il had
many OF the evils of war without wars
educational advantages. We are not like
ly to return again to that form of wicked
ness and folly. unless perchance the con-
tinent OF Europe Is able to produce an
other generation OF public men as self
centered and OF as narrow vision an
those who have generally been in control
of public policy there for 40 years past.
The whole cardhouse OF alliances and
ententes, together with the balance OF
power theory, has come tumbling heavily
to the ground, Something far different
and much more rational will arise in its
stead. In the Europe OF tomorrow there
will be no place for secret treaties and
understandings, for huge systems of
armed camps and limitless navies, for
sleepless international enmity and treach-
cry. for carefully stimulated race and re-
ligious hatred or for wars made on the
sole responsibility Of monarchs and OF
ministers. #..
Moral, social and political progress win
refuse longer to pay the crushing tolls
which a conventional diplomacy and an
unenlightened statesmanship have de-
manded of them. ...
1t is not the Slav or the Teuton, the
Latin or the Briton, the oriental or the
American, who is the enemy OF civiliza-
ton and Of culture. Militarism. there IN
the enemy!

Secret Of Picking a Safe Lock.


"Milner James was the most artistic safe
breaker in the business" said Lecoq, the
detective. HE is dead now. He opened
in his time more than 700 safes withUut
tools or gunpowder-solely by working cut
the combination with his fingers. TIT
Z" Tt took me year he once said, to
learn the trick of picking combination
studied all the locks there were and l had
three safes Of different makes to practice
on. The ear IS the most important factor
In my method, and II must be held tia hit
against the safe door on a line with the
tumblers. When the knob OF the lock is
turned slowly and one of the tumbIers
reaches the notch corresponding TO the
first number OF the combination the tuIn-
bier will fall with a little click. Care must
be taken not to displace this lumber You
keep on trying the knob back and forth
gently till each of the tumblers drops
Then the door opens. Hhardly one man I'm
a thousand has an ear delicate enough for
this work, and to be a success at II you'w
got to give up tobacco and alcohol

Had TO Put In Money.
From the London Evening standai

A minister was once preaching at
little chapel on the subject of CIV
ing" During the sermon his heart was
rejoiced by the fact that a member
of the congregation went to the side OF
the chapel and placed a coin In a box
and a little later another did the same.
Surely. the minister thought, his ser
mon had never met with so practical
O response before.
On leaving he was accosted by one of
the brethren who said: .
at hope we didn't disturb you sir;
but ours is penny-iD-the-slot meter,
and we should have been in darkness
IL we hadn't attended to II. :"

Love.
From the Atlantic.

Love has no doubts. To itself love IL
the very substance of reality. The
phenomena OF sight. sound touch, and
their fellows. are but the conditions
under which life has made a foothold
for itself in this boisterous world; the
senses know nothing beyond their own
functioning, they have nothing to say
regarding the end or purpose of life
But to love, all the labor and effort Of
all the universe, with all its siderealI
systems, with all it's ethereal immen-
sity, has been for the sake OF produc-,
ing love. OF what consequence Is IL,
whether insensible matter endure q,
myriad years, or assume infinite big,
ness7 In the absence of consciousness
an infinity Of matter Is nothing. One,
flash of conscious life illumined by
love Is worth all the patience, all the
effort, all the labor. of unconscious en-
ergy throughout an infinity OF time
Consciousness is but q minister to
love. to the love that is to be.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO March 24-Surprising de-
msnd for feed southwest and west in
the face of a sharp advance carried the
corn market today upward again. Selling
pressure was comparatively light, but in

had shown no sign of becoming more
free. Opening prices. which varied from
a shade off to 1saA gain. were followed
by a gradual rise all around.
Wheat hardened with corn and reports
of high winds in Kansas. Some atten-
ton was also given to the scantiness of
primary receipts. Prices started I'M

to mount.

JAPANESE CABINET
QUITS UNDER FIRE
Naval Scandal Widely Blamed.
Saint or Kato May Form
New Ministry.

TOXIC. March 24-The resisnat ton OF
the japanese cabinet today has given
rise to considerable discussion in political
circles in Japan. The radicals consider
the disappearance Of Admiral Count
Gombei Yamamotos cabinet as blow to
the system of clan government and they
are fighting the influence Of the old con-
sentative bureaucratic groups represented
by the Satsuma and Choshu factions in
behalf OF what they term truer con-
stitutional regime.
Emperor Yoshihito today conferred with
6; number of the elder statesmen and
with the Marquis Kinmochi Sainji, for
mer premier. The view is generally eX-
pressed that either the Marquis Saint
or Baron Takaaki kato. a former for
eign minister. will be asked to form the
new cabinet.
A statement was issued today by the
government declaring that the cabinet
had resigned on account of the failure
of the house of representatives and
the house of peers to agree on the
budget. 1t was pointed out that unless
an extraordinary session of parlia-
ment should be called the budget Of
last year and the estimates for the
various departments would remain in
operation.
The declaration states that the naLal
scandal in connection with the giving
of Illicit commissions to influence the
allotment of contracts had nothing to
do with the break up of the cabinet 1t
argues that if the naval scandal had
been the cause of the cabinets fall it
would have occurred at an earlier date
A heated debate took place in the house
of peers today when Lieut.. Gen. Viscount
Sakenori Sega declared that the naval
scandal had been destructive of disci-
pine in the navy and that the Japanese
bluejackets regarded their superior off
GERS with contempt owing to the reveal
tons of corruption. 1t was explained in
the course of the discussion that the
house of peers had reduced the appro-
priations for the navy, firstly because of
the allegations of corruption. and second
ly because of the failure of the govern
ment to accord an equal expansion to the
army.
All of the opposition journals attribute
the fall of the government to the naval
