Government by CONFUSION.

Dispatches from Pittsburg, where Col
Roosevelt fired the opening gun in his
rampaign, report that he was not the
"Teddy" of old, that his voice was weak,
his characteristic gestures lacking, his
wonted vigor absent But in one re-
spect the colonel revealed his old self.
As coiner of phrases he is still UNI
matched. His government by convul-
sion" needed no violent gesture or ring
ing voice to carry it through the land.
along with the immortal short and
ugly "malefactors of great wealth,
undesirable citizen" mature faker, and
the "big stick" The latest addition to
the collection is peculiarly forceful.
1t is unfortunate that Col Roosevelt
found it necessary to interpret his new
phrase Like good joke, his character
izations are not enhanced by footnotes.
The utterance seemed in no wise cryptic
to an assemblage of business men, until
the colonel explained that he had meant
the passing back and forth of power be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties Killing two birds with one
stone is proverbially skillful accom-
plishment, and the colonel might have
done better if he had confined himself
to single bag Compared to the gov

SUGGESTIONS FOR NUMBERING.
Government Advises Construction of y
Shaped Flume.

That the V-shaped timber fume is a
more efficient type than the box or
square side form is one of the con-
illusions reached by the department Of
agriculture in bulletin just issued on
fumes and fluming. The V.shaped
wooden hume requires less water and,
on the average, less repairs than the
other type, is better adapted to act as
a slide on steep grades, and offers few
er chances for jams Concerning third
type. the sectional metal fiume, semi
circular in form, the prediction is made
that it will come into wide use. Such
a fume is strong and light, and can
be quickly taken apart and transported
from one place to another to be set
up again.
When building fumes good plan,
says the department, is to erect small
sawmill at or near the upper end Of the
fiume location to saw out the lumber
needed for construction. Such material
can be foated down the fume as fast
as the latter is built and used for fur
Their extension.
For handling railroad cross ties, cants
poles, cordwood, and the like, fume
with the sides of the v 80 inches in
height is large enough. For handling
logs, piling long timber, or brailed saw
ed lumber height of from 40 to 80
inches is recommended. The best angle
for the V is put at 30 degrees.
Proposed iume lines ought to be sur
veyed as carefully as a line for log
ging railroad, to ensure evenness of
grade. Grades should be kept below Is
per cent. wherever possible, and the best
results are obtained with grades between
2 and 10 per cent.
Abrupt curvatures in a fume should
be avoided, for they are likely to cause
jams. Curves should rarely be permitted
to exceed 20 degrees. II may be neces-
sary to blast out rocks and boulders. or
projecting points of bluffs, or to tres
tie, or even tunnel to eliminate abrupt
curves or maintain an even grade.
Telephones are recommended as ad.
juncts to the operation of fume. BY

MARKED PHYSICAL REGULARITY
Concord, N. H., Paving Cutters Hands
Move alphabetically

Axel Swanson OF West Concord, N. f.,
a paving block cutter, has physical char
acteristics which are puzzling to the
medical fraternity.
Swanson is giant in stature, stand
ing we'll over six feet and weighing 2l0
pounds. In every way he is normal
man, except as to his hands, which from
the wrist down work in unison, that is,
a movement of one produces similar
movement of the other.
In conversation recently, Mr. Swanson
said that there were three boys in the
family, all of whom possessed the Pc
euliarity and that his mother had told
him that she had brother whose hands
were similarly affected.
The pecliarity in Mr.. Swanson's hands
was first noticed by the foreman OF the
quarry at which he was employed. II
FIRST aroused his curiosity, and then his
interest, and he followed the movements
Of Swanson closely. Finally he asked
the reason and was told by Mr. Swanson
that he did not know. They had always
been that way.
The movements are more marked when
Mr.. Swanson ia pursuing his work, all
unconscious of his hands and what they
are doing, than when he is exhibiting
the trait before physicians. For in
stance, when carrying tools at the quarry
in a sling. the hand not engaged tightly
clinches, and when the load is put down
by the carrying hand the other follows
the movement. Again, when filling his
pipe. using the fingers of his right hand,
the digits on the left go through the
same operation.
Mr. Swanson was examined by DIR.
Dennis f. Sullivan, who at the eoncru
sion declared that nothing like it had
ever come under his observation. One
interesting demonstration was when Mr.,
Swanson tightly clenched one hand and
moved the other, the cords in the closed
fist responded to the movement, while in,
the case of movement of one finger
the corresponding cord in the other hand
followed: and it was amusing when he
picked up an article placed by Chief
Green and twirled it in his fingers, to
see the fingers on the other hand ex
ecute the same movements.
Mr.. Swanson has another popularity
in that he has no hair on his face, which
is as smooth as a womans, and thus
has never been compelled to use q razor
but he has an abundant supply of dark
brown hair on his head. This he de-
scribes as another family trait.
Mr.. Swanson is not at all ayerse to
talking about the condition of his hands,
explaining that the unison of motion
is confined wholly to them below the
wrist, and does not extend TO his other
limbs.
