When, striking where he strongest lay,
We swooped his thanking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.

Beside the brave who fell that day;

They have left him to plod, and fume
For hero's scope and room
They have curbed his fighting pride
They have babe him burrow and hide

Look-into the air he springs,

And the world shall watch him del

The vaults are said to contain 10000
completed stationary razors, and $780,
900 worth Of gold and silver for fin
ishing purposes. There is on hand
q large supply Of manufactured parts
for both rotary and stationary razors,
mostly rotary.
1T seemed without having any way
of accurately estimating, there were
sufficient Of such parts to make from
$4,000 to 1000 rotary o and q
few thousand stationary razors," re-
ports the investigator. so far as
known the company has no money or
other assets than those mentioned.
The statements sent out from time to
time by the company as to the cost
of the building and the machinery
probably were not far wrong and
those items, together, with material
on hand. manufactured and unmanu-
featured, probably cost $4,000"
Rotary Razor Not Perfected.
Mr.. Divet learned that the rotary
razor has never been entirely per-
fected. About 1,400 were sold, of
which 400 were actually rejected and
about 500 bitterly complained of. The
defects, however, seemed to be in de-
tails ~correctable. The stationary raz-
ors that have been sold have proved
about as satisfactory as n of the
dozen other razors but. there is a de-
tail Of adjustment to be made in the
10000 on hard before they should be
put>out.
Officers. and former employees Of the
company told Mr.. Divet that great
difficulty had been, experienced in OBJ
tanning steel that would temper in
such way to retain a shaving edge in
d circular blade. 1t was explained
that steel has a grain and will not
sharpen crosswise Of the grain. 1t
is claimed $780, 900 was used in over
coming this difficulty and that a per-
feet blade has now been devised but
the secret of making that blade rests
with Mr. Collins and the engineer who
discovered it,.

RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST

Santo Domingo is rich in historic
interest. 1t is the Oldest OF all the
permanent settlements OF American
soil. Here Columbus founded various
colonies. and Santo Domingo city be-
came his favOrite Of all the New
world. 1t was here that he spent
some Of the happiest time OF his life,
and here that he was reduced to prls-
OIL by his political enemies, and from
here he was sent In chains and dis
grace TO Spain. The old tower where
his bones lie in the great cathedral Of
Santo Domingo city.
In this oldest city of the New
world one still sees the remains Of
the first church built in America. Its
foundations were laid In 1902. Here
is the house where Cortez kept the
court records before he had ever
heard of Mexico. From here Ponce
de Leon set out in his search for the
Fountain of Youth. Here lived Piz-
FARO before he went To Panama, and
sailed down the west coast to con-
Guer the Inca empire. Everywhere
one turns he encounters old land
marks where the famous conqUiS-
tadorcs had their first experiences in
the New world.
Padre lie las CaSaS entered the
priesthood here, and in his indignu-
ton because of the abuse Of the In
dams by the Spaniards began, to i'm.
port slaves from Africa to make light
er the work of the Indian laborers.
Here r.is founded the first university
Of the New world when in 1888 a

tabislrnent of the University of ST.

Psychology Of Kissing.

DR.. Charles f.. Baker, the psycholo-
gist. Is shamefully confusing the 70
mantle issue. He says that after q
man has kissed girl he doesn't want
her. Withhold thy kisses. fair maid
en-" says this cruel sage, more
girls have been robbed of future
husbands by the goodnight kiss than
for any other reason"
but how, oh, how does The dear
chap know? Were they the spinsters
who confided in him, or the kiss
snatchfng bachelors? And is It the
kiss itself or the impression that the
lady is too free with them that wrecks
the prospect?
On the score Of decorum and excIu-
slveness the sage may be right in
deneaning the value Of the pre-mar-
itai kiss, but it isn't good logic. Most
OF the rrevOcable spinsters / know
were brought up on that coy theory
and are apt to blame their spinster-
hood upon it. What the gentleman
really means Is that some other girls
1r'sRS goodnight kiss robbed those
Spinsiers Of their SWANS. But. of
course. the other girl was probably
careful to imply that this was her
very hrst offense. 1t Is much more
likely that 1t Is when he surprises
her in comforting the goodnight kiss
on some other fellow that he feels
she Is not the wife for him That IL
