Using the Expression 81 Thinks

A man was referred to as one who
in his conversation never says 81 think"
so and so. The think" is a mere ex-
pletive. A positive, clear headed man
says what he thinks without saying he
thinks. Besides, when person premises
with an II think" it weakens his as
sertion because thinking is by no means
an assurance of truth. If one should
say 81 think it will rain tomorrow"
the very expression carries a doubt be-
cause mere opinion is a lame matter,
and the world Is chock full of opinions
If, however. he should say 1T viii rain
tomorrow" it carries some assurance
even If it is, after all, an opinion. So
the man referred to in the first place
doesn't say II think" for it is entirely
superauous. and he adds force and
dignity to what he says in emitting it
entirely. And then when one looks at
the situation calmly he will conclude
that Thinks much under a cloud since
very few people think exactly alike.
There are ten thousand instances Of
this character.-Ohio State Journal

conxersina With aGhosts.s

Some scientists of real eminence
have accepted the postulate Of the In.
dividuality and self consciousness of
the soul after the death Of the body
and have attempted to demonstrate
their belief by asserting communica-
ton with these disembodied spirits.
Sir William CroOkes, a profound delv-
er in chemistry pertaining to radio-ac-
dvity, asserted years ago that he had
communication with souls Of dead
friends. but for several years he has
been silent anent this matter. Camille
Flammarion. a rather speculative and
sensational astronomer, declares that
he has seen and conversed with the
ghosts" Of dead friends. Professor
William James, brother Of Henry
James, the novelist, promised before
he died that If possible he would COM
municate with his friend Professor
Hyslop, both eminent psychologists,
but at last accounts the soul of PROBES
SCR James had not spoken.-Exchange.

Eanqs of a Snake.

Examine the finest cambria needle
under high power microscope and its
point will look rough and blunt. A
snakes fang similarly inspected ap
pears perfectly smooth and sharp. In
each fang is a groove which connects
by tube with a sort of bag-the poison
gland-just beneath the eye. When the
snake strikes a muscular contraction
simultaneously forces the venom out
OF the bag through the tube and along
the groove into the flesh of the per.
son attacked Snake poison, generally
speaking, has two distinct effects. II
destroys in some mysterious way the
fbrin of the blood, thereby causing the
latter to behave as If diluted and to
filter through the walls of the veins
and arteries. In addition, it paralyzes
the nerve centers and so affects the
heart, sometimes bringing death by
suffOcation.

Pantomime Performances.

Most pantomime characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at a theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1720. 1t was called "Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche. a Harlequin, a Coun-
try Farmer. His Wife and Others. -
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character Of pantomime
performances was completely altered.
chiefly because Of the genius Of the
famous Grimaldi. who made the clown
the first figure In the pantomime. Gri-
maldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater. where he played the part Of a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years

Beauty In the Mexiean,s Voice.

Next to the love of dress. was most
struck with the fneness of the voice
and the beauty of intonations of both
sexes (of the Mexicans). 1t is pleas
ure simply to listen to the sound Of the
language before ! could attach any
meaning to it They have a good deal
of the creole drawl. but it is varied,
with an occasional extreme rapidity Of
utterance, in which they seem to skip
from consonant to consonant until,
lighting upon a broad open vowel, they
rest upon that to restore the balance
of sound. A common bullock driver
delivering a message seemed to speak
like an ambassador at an audience. In
fact, they sometimes appeared to me
to be a people on whom a curse had
fallen and stripped them Of every
thing but their pride, their manner and
their voices.-''Three Years Before the

Curious Golf Shot.

The late lord chief justice, Lord Al.
verstone, being one of the judges at
the Birmingham assizes, in the inter
walls of business had several rounds of
golf on the Edgbaston links. On one
of these occasions he was playing with
the local professional and got rather
badly bunkered at the second hole.
1t was necessary, in order to get the
ball out, to make it rise almost per-
pendicularly into the air, and for this
purpose Lord Alverstone, or Sir Rich
ard Webster, as he then was, took his
niblick and made a mighty stroke. No
conjurer on earth could have done q
trick more neatly. The ball not only
leaped into the air, but dropped as
clean as a whistle into the judges

PROHIBITION PROFITS.

1t has been frequented as
serted that prohibition is a
bad thing for a state or a com
munity. The "wets" often
mention Kansas as a type Of
prohibition failure. Senator
Vim. Ii. Thompson has few
items which show the very
opposite. This date show
plainly that prohibition has
great ecomic value to the state
The state has no outstanding
indebtedness. The increase
in wealth under prohibition
has been at the rate of $780,
600, O0.00 per year. The per
Ca pata wealth is now 81, $4,000
which is twice that of the
nation as a whole. There is
three billion dollars taxable
wealth in the state. The tax
rate is lower than any in the
Union save one. The state
owns over q million dollars
worth of public buildings.
There are more than 90 mill
ions invested in school pro-
perty in the state. Last year
Kansas spent over 9 millions
on education. There are
81 900 college students in the
state. There is less than 9
per cent Of illlteracy. Kansas
municipal bonds sell readily.
There are rs, 600 automob-
lies in the state, aud there is
plenty OF work, and but one
pauper to each 3, 600 populat
ion.
This is a record. Kansas
has tried prohibition for thirty
five years. Kansas demon
strates the beneficient results
Of prohibition. May our own
state Keep consistently to this
and do as we'll as our sister
state.
