Thinking.

Few men really think, although
each would deny the accusation.
Although man is supposed to be a
rational thinking animal, think
ing is actually the hardest and
the rarest he does. We hear a
thing. ordinarily, and immedi-
ately form an opinion about it.
Usually self-interest is at the
bottom Of our conclusions. We
are told, for instance, that wo-
man suffrage is good thing and
we ought to have a law allowing
women to vote. Do we look into
the matter? Do we study the
arguments for and against wo-
mans suffrage? 1t is the same
with the tariff, prohibition, the
unions, the Mexican situation,
the European war, in fact every
thing we have anything to do
with. How much more rational
it would be to hold up our judg-
ment on a question until we have
had an opportunity to study it
from every angle. Then form
an opinion find stand or fall by
that opinion. until we learn some
thing of which we have been in
ignorance that might change our
minds on the subject. Not to be
open conviction is pig-headed.
Narrowness is the bane Of our

that Mr.. Burton, the undertaken,
had buried her. This Mr.. Burton
recalled to mind when asked a.
bout it. Another thing that left
lasting impression upon Aps
memory was a labor account Of
$1,000 which the Captain forgot
to pay. Thereupon Mr.. Belgin
hunted up the attorneys and told
him what he knew and reminded
them of the deferred payment.
When he spoke Of interest he was
told that he ought to be glad to
get the principal. Upon a little
reflection he remembered that Is

had fifteen years to rest up after
earning the money, so he said he
would accept the thirteen plunks

comfort to others in the watch

the theory that you've always
got something coming.

Why a Whip "cracks."

In a lecture on Mechanics In the
Home" delivered to boys at the Royal
institution, in London, Professor G. V
Boys tried to explain why a whip
cracks. The Scientific American re,
marks that his explanation was only
tentative, and the greatest authorities
on dynamics have been at a loss to
give the reason. Briefly, it has to do
with the fact that, owing to the ac,
ton of centrifugal and other forces
the speed at which the whip travels
through the air is greater and greater
throughout the length Of it's lash and
so great at the end that it comes up to
the velocity Of sound.

GOOD CATCHERS.
They Must Be Quick Thinkers and Are
Hard to Develop.

Good fielders and hard hitterS there
are who are not quick witted, but ney-
er a catcher, who is the first to see
signs Of weakness in the pitcher and
sends word to the bench for another
pitcher to warm up. Three years ex-
perience with a major league is re-
garded as necessary to make a catch
er competent Only a few continue
long enough to have such experience.
Good catchers say that when they
hear the ball touch the bat their hands
instantly fly toward the ball, no mat
ter where it glances off the bat. Some
after losing sight of fly in the sun
have the ability to reach it ne7erthe-
less.
Some catchers are unjustly blamed
for not putting a runner out who gets
a big lead off the pitcher, who is real
" at fault. Here not only a good
throw will fail, but it is often useless
to throw at all.
Good catchers make many unexpect-
ed throws. They must throw from an
unnatural position and with a jerky
motion Of the arm. Archer threw with
a snap Of the arm while standing fat
footed and put many out on first base.
The catcher signals second baseman
that he is going to throw the next
pitched ball to him; the pitcher deliy-
ers it a little to one side so that it
can be handled easily; the shortstop
knows the next ball will not be hit and
so can back up second base. This IN
expected throw often puts the runner
out on second.
A similar play is when the runners
move up every time the ball is pitch
ed. If those on second and third both
get we'll OF the bags the catcher again
signals the pitcher to waste ball and
makes as if he were going to throw
to third. but instead throws quickly to
second and retires the runner there,
or makes as if he were going to throw
to second. but instead throws just be-
yond the pitcher, when the baseman
starts for second, and be, without stop
ping, runs up, catches the ball and
sends it home to retire the man seek
ing to score.-Arthur Macdonald in

UNITED STATES INSISTS
ON DISAYOWAL OF DEED
SITUATION FULL OF GRAVE POS
SIBILIIES.
Will Stand Strongly For Reputation
of Submarine Attack on LuSi-
tania and For ReparatiOn.

Washington, May 222.-Such advices
as have been received from Ambassa-
dor Gerard within the last few days
it became known tonight, have given
no intimation as to the character OF
the German reply to the recent Ameri-
can note beyond the generality that it
will be friendly in tone.
The German answer is now expected
to reach Washington late next week,
Until then the situation as between
the United States and Great Britain
over alleged violations Of international
law in connection with the British or
der in council will not be developed by
officials Eere.A fter the German note is
received, however, it is practically GER
tain that representations on the gen.
eral subject of the commercial embar-
90 imposed by the allies on intercourse
with Germany will be made.
There is no tendency among officials
here to underestimate the seriousness
of the situation which may result in
event of an unfavorable reply from
Berlin. On this point in particular it
is known the Washington government
will insist-complete disavowal of any
intention to destroy American lives
and full reparation for injuries sus-
tanned. If the German reply should
cover this point satisfactorily it is felt
that arrangements for the future safe
guarding OF American citizens can
then be arranged through further dip
lomatic correspondence, for it is said
the German reply will suggest ar
rangements whereby passenger and
contraband traffic on belligerent mer-
chantmen might be separated.

EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.
Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle Ages.

Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle Ages.
It seems odd to contemplate that,
with the multitude Of chairs to be
found in every home these days, once
upon a time there were no chairs as
we know them in any home. In those
days benches answered the purpose
now served by chairs. and when fam
lily drew up to the table for its meals
in the middle ages they sat on long
benches, which had no support for the
backs, instead Of chairs.
From long ago there were heavy
thrones on which the rulers sat, but
these throne chairs were so heavy that
they could not be easily moved. Later
the benches were given a back. and
still later the chairs as we know them
today were evolved.
1t was not until 1900. in the time OF
Charles l., that the average English
man knew Of chairs or had them in his
house, according to those who have
made a study Of furniture. The first
English chairs were imported from
France, and the native cabinetmakers
and carpenters made chairs in imita
ton Of these.
In those days the fashion in chairs
changed with the fashion Of clothes
When full skirts were the style the
chairs became wider, so that milady
and her skirts could be accommodates
on one chair. The difference in the
size Of chairs that we have today
made in imitation Of old styles, come:
from this difference in clothes.-Lon
