FREAKS OF A GENIUS.
The Man Who Smashed Glasses In a
London Tavern

One day bulky, tall pale faced gen
tleman with bushy. restless eyebrows
entered a London tavern The waiter
did not ask him for his order but i'm
mediately brought him plate of bread
and cheese and a glass of ale. Having
consumed his lunch, the guest sat up
right In his chair for awhile leaning
his hands on heavy walking cane ana
staring blankly at the opposite wall as
II in dream.
OF sudden he gave a start. He
seized the empty glass and dashed 1t
to the floor with all his might, smash
ing it TO atoms. He then reflected for
moment, laid coin on the table, got
up and left the inn without d word to
any one.
After his departure another guest
had the curiosity to ask the waiter
whether the gentleman who had just
gone out was not wrong In his head
Quoth the waiter:
"Oh, no, sir! That's nothink unusual
with I'm, sir. Ee's broke maybe
'undred glasses since 'e's been a-comin'
to this 'ouse. E don't seem to know 1t
when e does 1t. E just gifts a-thinkin'
and seems to git hangry at somethink

Macaulay, sir"-St James Gazette.

VISION OF THE CAPITAL.
Wonderful Foresight of Washington

Some time after the preliminary sur

Washington by LEnfant. Washington
and Jefferson arrived IN Georgetown,
staying for several days at the old
Suffers tavern. Each day, in company
with Major L'Enfant, they rode over
the country in order that every phase
of the topography might be studied
with relation to the great work they
had In their minds. How splendid 1t
is to think that we had a Washington

With their great vision, their knowl-
edge of the past, their hope for the
future, they looked out upon the wide
Potomac and the woods and fields and
saw the future capital rise like mi

That HILL which was later to be
crowned.by the dome of the capitol,
seemed to LEnfant TO be like "a

EQUINE EVOLUTION.
There Was a Time When the Horse
Was Only Two Feet High.

The variations which lead up to the
formation Of new species are so in.
sensible, they stretch over such a vast
period of time, that their survival value
from generation to generation is and
must be very slight Take the case Of
the horse, for instance.
The development of the horse seems
to stretch over q period of at least
5000 600 years. or from the eohippus of
eocene times, an animal less than two
feet nigh and probably weighing less
tnan a hundred pounds. to the horse
Of late tertiary times, the plionippus,
much like tile superb creature we know
today. five feet high and weighing
LOCO or 1900 pounds.
If this animal Increased in height
only one-quarter OF an inch In 10000
years ne would be six feet high in less
than 100000 years. Sc, If we allow
him 100000 years to develop in, his
Increase in height must have been even
less than one-fourth of an inch In
10000 years.
Think OF it, Our horse of today might
be increasing or diminishing in size at
that rate and the fact never be noticed
during the whole period In weight the
same-one-eighth Of a pound In a hun
dred years, and he would weigh 14,000
pounds in less than 100000 years a
rate of Increase that our scales would
hardly detect in a century of time
The transformations of the other ami
mails have probably been equally slow.
Science would feel safe in saying that
a flying fish never becomes a bird. But
can we conceive how slight the change
would have to be in every thousand
years to bring it about in geologic Oh
biologic time? - John Burroughs in
North American Review.

CONCERNING THE "ANTI."
A Pestiferous Unionist Who is Con-
stitutionaIIy Opposed to Everything.


A Pestiferous Unonst Who is Con-
stitutionaIIy Opposed to Everything.
There are ants in every labor union.
What Is an anti? An anti is man
who is opposed to everything. Men
may be found in all organizations-in
fact, all walks of life-who imagine
they are exceedingly smart Their
usual way of showing it Is to knock"
the local officers, knock" headquarters
and the labor movement in general. If
they are asked to propose a remedy
for the things they complain about
they have none to offer. If they are by
chance elected to any position they are
q fiat failure. Nature did not intend
them to be anything but an anti
Then we have the man who knows
1t all and who refuses to do anything
so long as the union refuses to do what
he thinks they should do Such men
usually line up with the ants and be-
tween them clog the wheels of progress
to their delight
A real man will never resort to any
unbecoming tactics If he has thought
out some plan for improving the work
ing Of the union and the union cannot
see it as he does he contents himself
by saying, They are mistaken and
will see their mistake in time" Such
& man as that usually succeeds in
bringing the union around to his way
Of thinking in due time. To such men
belongs the credit of making the labor
movement what it is today Ants new
er did anything, never will do any
thing but cause wiser and better men
sorrow and pain. In doing so the anti
fills his missj-u VI. Sa1tih-Tailor.

RIGHT TO ORGANIZE.
Metaliiferous Miners of Arizona Win
Victory After Long Strike.

Victory After Long Strike.
MetalHferous miners in the district
surrounding Miami Ariz., have been
successful in their efforts to secure the
right to organize after what is said to
have been the most unique strike in
the history of the American labor
movement, says the Typographical
Journal The struggle lasted four and
a half months. during which time there
was no bloodshed or destruction of
property, principally due to the fact
that there We're no gun men, thugs or
strike breakers imported into the dis
trict. The governor Of Arizona and
the sheriff of ella county were re-
sponsible for this condition OF affairs,
as they refused to be made catspaws
by the mine owners In an effort to
break the strike.
The principal contention involved in
the strike was the right to organize.
This was denied by the companies
which gave the men the opportunity of
either renouncing their union affilia
tions or losing their jobs. In their un-
organized and helpless state they had
no redress against q system that COM
prised pitiably small wages and the
company store" Under the settle
ment the men have gained the right TO
organize and a substantial increase of
wages No little credit should be
awarded Governor Hunt, who stead
fastly held out against the demand Of
the mine owners that the state protect
the strike breakers and thugs that they
intended bringing into the state.

VIII Oppose Iniunctions.

The Detroit Federation Of Labor has
appointed a committee TO initiate n ref
erendum for the enactment Of an
amendment to the state constitution
which will debar judges from issuing
injunctions in labor disputes. The leg
islation proposed is similar to the Clay
ton amendment, which applies to fed
eral judges and which was adopted by
congress last year after nearly twenty
five years agitation by the American
Federation Of Labor.

Don't Whin a Child In Anner

1t is absurd to whip child who is
overcome by anger. The best thing to
do is to let him alone and let his pas
sion wear itself out If he could be
taken before the anger gets the upper
hand of him he might be controlled.
What the parent should do is to
study the things which viii arouse the
child's anger and then avoid these
things. 1t is the height of folly for a
parent to excite anger in a child and
then try to control it by punishment.
1t is worse than folly; 1t is brutal and
is likely to ruin the child Mother $

HOW BLOTTERs ABSORB INK
Being Simple Explanation of Capil
larry Attraction.

larry Attraction.
Every student of physics knows that
water will run up a narrow tube by
capillary attraction. Anything i'm
mersed in water has similar attrac-
ton for the water-that is, the object
becomes wet by the water that clings
to it. The amount is limited by the
weight of the liquid itself. Place your
hand In water and your hand when
withdrawn is wet The limited attrac-
ton between the hand and the water
is gagged by the weight of the water
that clings to the hand.
Imagine several hands placed close
together In water, but not touching one
another. If this composite hand were
formed of ten single hands 1t would at
tract ten times as much water as the
one hand would attract and hold on It's
surface. So a wisp of hay, composed
of hundred spears OF dried grass,
placed in water will remove a hundred
times as much of the fluid as would
cling to one spear. Bushes in a marsh
will remove a certain amount of water,
which will by capillary attraction cling
to their submerged parts
Under the microscope fbrous blot
ting paper when absorbing ink resem-
bles on a small scale marsh matted
with shrubs and sticks and twigs
around which water Is flowing, as ink
runs about and among the fibers that
together form the spongy paper There
Is a limit to the amount Of liquid
which blotter will absorb, as there is
limit to the amount of water that a
marsh will absorb without overdowing
That limit in the botter is the com
bined capillary attraction of the fbrous
shrubs and sticks and twigs that to-
gether form the paper.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
