 Although the Federals wrecked Charley Dooin's Philadelphia team last season by stealing Knabe, Seaton, Brennan and Doo1an, Charley may have to look to the outlaws for a job next season.

 It is claimed that Tommy Leach would have been named as manager for the Chicago Cubs if he han't at tempted to use the Federal league as a club to get more money from the Cubs.
 The minor league have entered into an agreement not to sign any young players who have been discarded by the Federals. The outlaws have many youngsters who have never been in organized ball but the minors have de- termined to pass these players up.

ourselves We believe not. The origin of the whole thing. the names of the generous glverS and the amount of money con- tributed. are too well known; and We cannot believe that Father Duncan owns 1t all. What right then has he, to say nothing Of his being a mis- >ionary of the gospel. to cause any unnecessary hard>hips among his converts? His action in closing the public hydrant at Metlakahtla is there fore considered by the people as criminal and malicious. and one deserving of the fullest in vestigationS by the government and district authorities.

Eaul's Personal Appearance.

All that we know of Paurs personal appearance from his own writings Is found in II Cor. X. 10. which indicates that he did not possess the advantage of dis nglliShed or imposing pres ence. His stature was somewhat d. minutive. his eyesight weak (see Acts Sxiii. 5. and Gal. iv. l5l. nor did he re- gard his address as impressive. Much of this personal criticism, however. may have been the outcome of the apostle's desire to avoid magnifying himself or his own talents, X fourth century tablet represents him as ven- erable locking and dignitied. with a high. bald forehead. full bearded and with features indicating force of char acter, One ancient writer says Paufs nose was strongly aQuiline, All the early pictures and mosaics. as well as some of the early writers tamong them Malalus and Nicephorusl agree in de- scribing the apostle as of short stature with long face. prominent eyebrows clear complexion and winning ex- pression. the whole aspect being that of power and dignity. The oldest known portrait is the Roman panel of the fourth century. already referred to above.-Christian Herald.

Gravity of a Spinning Top.

A spinning top is kept from failing because Of the speed with which it re- wolves. The attraction of grayitation is temporarily overcome by the centrif- ugal force produced by the rotation Of the top when it is spun. Each part of the top is subject to the same cen trifugal force as each other part at the same distance from the axis of rota- tion and to no greater force, so that there is no cause for the top being pulled in any particular direction by the force of gravity As soon as the centrifugal force begins to lessen be- cause of lessenine speed of rotation the attraction of gravity begins to be ex- erted again and the top begins to wob- ble When the spinning motion di- minishes to such an extent that the attraction Of gravitation becomes great CT than the centrifugal force the top falls to one side.

a Statement About The Water
 Pipe At MetIakahtIa
To the Editor:

To the Editor.
 When Father Duncan order cd the shutting off of the public hydrant at Metlakahtla. the early part of last November. the people were well informed of his motives in doing so, and today they have both facts and witnesses to prove the same.
 If the public hydrant at Met lakahtla. from which the people draw their only supply of good water. was closed on account of frost, as the illiterate post master of that place asserted, this should have been done the first part of January. and open ed up again two weeks later when the frost was gone. But the hydrant was closed the early part of last November while the weather was very mild. and the same remains closed today although there is no outlook of any heavy frost coming.
 Ever since the main pipe was laid up to the mountain. and even in the hevieSt frost, 1t has remained open i'll winter time to keep 1t from freezing. However in ease of accidents. such as the falling of a tree across the pipe CT the bursting of the same under heavy pres sure<as in all other similar eases anywhere else. the water is Of course turned off until the pine i- repaired. But tfi> E the first time ill the histor, of Metlakahtla when without any accidental reasons whatever the people are deprived of the use of their public hydrant- This action on Fainter Duncan = part has compelled the people to u.e marshy and rain water and the increase in cases of sickness has been very noiIee- able in their midst.

Associations.

All experience evinces that human sentiments are strongly affected by as- sociations. The recurrence of anniver saries or of longer periods of time nat urally freshens the recollection and deepens the impression of events with which they are historically connected. Renowned places also have a power to awaken feeling which all acknowledge No American can pass by the fields of Bunker Hill, Monmouth and Camden as if they were ordinary spots on the earth's surface. Whoever visits them feels the sentiment of love of country kindling anew, as if the spirit that be- longed to the transactions which have rendered these places distinguished still lowered round with power to move and excite all who in future time may ap- proach them.-Daniel Webster.

HAn802S MEASURE E
 PASSED BY SENATE
$40, ,OOO, ,00O to Ba Expended
 as Engineers Order,

By an almost unanimous vote the senate passed the rivers and harh1rs bill allowing S20,000,0O0 to be eXpend- ed on existing projects under the su pervision and in the discretion of the army engineers.
 Senator Burton of Ohio, leader of the tilibuster against the pork barre" bill was credited with forcing the reduc- ton ordered by the senate. Burton won his flibuster fight. The Democratic leaders in charge of the bill were rout- ed and unable to hold all Democrats soliGly behind the bill. Sixteen Demo- crats voted with the Republicans to recommit the bill to the commerce committee with instructions to reduce its total to $2O,OOO,OOO. The wishes of the president for the exercise of great est economy are reported also to have influenced the split in the Democratic ranks.
 The general impression among sena tors was that the house would accede to the rivers and harbors proposal of the senate with the utmost cheerful ness in view of the impending fight on the war tax.
