So sanguinely hopeful are these Ingenlous designers that In many cases they provide brakes to stop their machines If necessary or to prevent any dangerous increase of speed. The care and thought expended on the prin- ciple and detall of many of the inven- tlons demonstrate that many men of mental ability cling to the idea that perpetual motlon Is possible and that they themselves are successfully solv- ing the problem. How to Shoot a Rattler. The writer once saw an Indian kill a rattlesnake In a very pecullar man- ner. The rattler was about ten feet from the Indlan, who was resting the rifie on his knee, apparently taking aim.

Mankato Daily Free Press.—The range country is about to reap the whirlwind. The crop of foreign agi- tators that were permitted to land there are spreading their threats and creating havoc to the industrial life of that great mineral section of Minnesota. A lot of ignorant for- eigners, whose anarchistic principles predominate, are on a strike. They have paraded the towns carrying the red flag’and have made demon- strations which cause the people to fear a repetition of the troubles which brought! downa blight on Colorado. The situation is regarded as crit- ical and Governor Johnson is now on the scene. What measures he will put into operation to stop the threatening attitude of the strikers is yet tobe determined. He acted wisely in going to the range before sending troops there. The strikers’are not made up of native born Americans.' They are Finns and Italians, who came into this country during late years to take the places of intelligent, home- loving and home building American citizens. The present serious con- ditions on the ranch of northeastern Minnesota are’ but repetition of what have occurred in other mining districts where the brain and brawn of American labor has been'displaced by the imported ignorance of Italy and other southern countries of Europe. — AS TO WOMEN'S HATS. It is'time that some one lifted up his voice in defence of women’s fashions. Let us ring the bell for the vocal elevator. Every time a new style of bonnet appears, immediately it is denounced as inimical to health. Itis the same with high-heeled shoes, tight waists, big sleeves, small sleeves, long sleeves and no sleeves at all. Bathing suits have decried from the housetops, ball gowns have been denounced from the platform— everything woman wears has been criticised since that far day when Adam told Eve that he wanted her to quit aping the foolish styles in fig- leaf skirts and morning-glory basques Cain’s wife had sent the patterns of from the land of Nod. Now it is the big hat. It is claimed thata woman who wears one of these cartwheel or mushroom hats will acquire wrinkles in the neck, wartson the nose, moth on the cheeks and lopears. There is noth- ing to it. If fashion decrees that woman shall wear a hat composed of armor plate with a top of concrete, she can and will develop the con- stitution to wear it. Big hats are all right. Woman doen’t wear them because they are heavy; she wears them because some other woman does. l R Her Perversity. . “Oome. out this evening,” sald Sub- bs, “and I'm sure you'll get a good! | — ner.” “T thought you had no cook now,” re- lied Citiman. ‘Bhe doesn’t leave until tomorrow. Il do her best this evening just to make us realize how much we'll miss ‘er ‘when she's gone.”—Bxchange, | L l'JTv Hide Them. "Why ones growing a beard?’ ‘Oh, I bellove his wife made him a' t.of some ties.”"—Punch, i ' When there Is no good within no good Foiies out.—Dutch Proverb. { * | ground for. months. | Harl told General Ventura that for a {inches the snake would move around and get exactly in line with it. Then, to show how the thing was done, the Indian moved about the snake in a cir- cle, and the reptile moved as If its tall were on a pivot, always keeping its head and body In llne with the gun. The Indlan then agreed to bandage his eyes and shoot the snake In the mouth. ‘The writer bandaged the Indian’s eyes, and, holding the gun by his side at arm’s length, the latter pulled the trig- ger, and the ball entered the snake's mouth and passed the whole length of its body. “How do you take alm?’ was the query. “The snake, he takes aim,” was the reply. We have talked with an old hunter on this proposition, and he claims that a rattlesnake will al- ways range directly in line with a gun or stick pointed at it.—Exchange. Snakes as War Weapons. ‘When Hannibal, the great Cartha- ginlan, was fighting Eumenes of Per- gamos with a fleet of very Inferior strength he hit upon an artifice which would scarcely be sanctloned by the laws of what we are pleased to call civilized warfare. He discovered by means of a bogus message v:nder a flag of truce on which ship tha king was. He then caused polsonous snakes to be inclosed In earthen jars. These ke dis- tributed among several skips and or- dered them to close up on the king’s galley. In the melee that followed the jars were flung on to the deck. The curlous bombs were greeted at first with ridicule, which soon chinged to panic when the nature of their contents made itself manifest. The galley was extricated from the fight as soon as possible, and the captains of the others, belleving that the king had taken flight, followed sult, with the result that Han- nibal gained a complete victory. Cats as Retrlovers. “It is claimed,” said a Chicago an #quary, “that cats may be trained as retrievers—trained to swim to your slain birds and bring them back to you in their mouths. The thing sounds incredible, but look here.” He held up the photograph of an anclent Egyptian painting. Men with spears rode on the Nile. In some of the boats large cats sat on their haunches in the stern, while toward others several cats swam with dead birds in their mouths. “This picture,” said the antiquary, “proves that the Egyptians used cats for hunting dogs. If they, why not we? The original of the plcture4s in the British museum, where there are also several pleces of carving that dis- play the cat in the role of a retriever.” The German and the Fatherland. A German always remains a German. He respects and loves his fatherland, although isolated and separated from it by boundless oceans and vast conti- nents. A German heart always re- mains true to the country where it first commenced to beat until it s silenced by death. As a rule, to which there are few exceptions, a man who Is loyal to the country of his birth will be loyal to the country of his adoption.—Dr: Nicho- las Senn. Niagara. Niagara is a corruption of the Seneca word ‘“neagara,” meaning “across the neck,” an allusion to a strip of land be- tween the lakes. The name has been subjected to many changes since the discovery of the cataract, more than thirty different readings being found in the writings of the varlous early ex- plorers and geographers. What He Would Do. Grandpapa — Tommy, Tommy, you aren’t behaving well. Do you know what I should do if I were a little boy like you? Tommy—Yes, grand- papa, you'd do the same as I do, ‘cause if you didn’t you wouldn’t be a lttle boy like me. The Universe. The heavens themselves, the planets and this center, observe degree, prior- ity and place, insisture, course, propor- tlon, season, form, office and custom, and all in line of order.—Shakespeare. Asks a Good De: “How about the rent of this house of yours, Flitter? Doesn’t the landlord ask a good deal for 1t?" Flitter—Yes. He often asks five and six times a month for it. The kangaroo readily jumps from six- ty to seventy feet. The highest record- ed leap of a horse is thirty-seven feet. —_— Alive Pour Months In & Grave, - Harl Das, the great Hindoo fakfr, who lived In the first half of the nine- teenth century, 18 the only wonder ‘worker of modern times who has ever allowed himself to be -buried In the In the year 1839 certain fee he would allow a committee to test the claims which he made of be- ing able to die and remain dead for months and then come to life again. {| When all- was' arranged Hari: hypno- tized himself to such a degree that his circulation was wholly stopped.

The fakir was clean/shaven when burled and Is sald tg/have come out of the grave In the Same shape, a fact which is cited to prove that vitality must have been completely suspended. 8eventeenth Century Superstitions. That it is a very unfortunate thing for a man to meete early in a morning an ill favored man or woman, a rough footed Hen, a shag-haird Dogge, or a blacke Cat. That it is a signe of death to some In that house, where Crickets have bin many yeeres, if on a sudden they forsake the Chimney Corner. That it a man dream of egs or fire he shall heare of anger. That to dreame of the devll 1s good lucke. That to dreame of gold good lucke, but of silver ill. That if 2 man be born in the daytime he shall be unfortunate. That if a child be born with a Caule on his head he shall be very fortunate. That wheun the palme of the right hand itcheth it is a shrewd sign he shall receive money. That it 1s a great signe of ill lucke it Rats gnaw a mans cloathes. That it is naught for any man to give a palre of Knives to his sweetheart, for feare it cuts away all love that is between them. That it is ill lucke to have the saltseller fall toward you. Likes Being Hunted. The extraordinary Iintelligence and skill displayed by reynard when be- ing hunted makes it extremely prob- able that he, in common with the huntsman and the b -uds, feels the keen pleasure of the p.ide of art—an important constituent of the spirit of the sport. In proof of this, an old fox, ‘when fresh, has often been observed to ‘walt tor the hounds, apparently with the purpose of drawing them on, and so giving :n opportunity for the dis- play of his skill. The fox owes his present existence in England to his skill in providing sport, and it is not therefore unreasonable to suppose that he has acquired the sporting instinct, Just as the pointer, the hunter and the terrier certainly enter into the spirit of the sport for which they have been bred and to which, therefore, they owe their existence.—London Standard. Ostriches Are Poor Sailors. “Ostriches are terrible creatures to have aboard ship In a storm,” said a sailor. “Knocked about by the waves, they fall and break thelr legs. We once carried elght superb ostriches. They ‘were good sailors. Their sea appetites were fine. But two days from port a nasty gale overtook us. And then it ‘was pitiful to see those ostriches. The ship’s lurches and ducks knocked them off their pins, sent them rolling back and forth, to and fro, wildly, help- lessly. Imagine a dozen ostriches, now on their feet, then—bang—on their backs, their long legs in the air, rolling every which way. What you'd expect to Happen happened, of course. Their legs broke. You could hear above the storm the sharp crack of the splitting bone. Of those eight fine ostriches only two reached port alive.” Books Written In Jail. Jail seems to be a good place in which to write books. Literary men surpass themselves there. John Bunyan wrote “Pilgrim’s Progress” in jail. Cervantes wrote “Dox Quixote” in prison. Defoe laid the plans for “Robinson Crusoe” during a term of confinement imposed on him for the writing of a pamphlet called “The Shortest Way With the Dissenters.” Leigh Hunt wrote “Rim- inf” in jail. Sir Walter Raleigh dur- ing his fourteen years’ imprisonment in the Tower of London wrote his ex- cellent “History of the World.”” Silvio Pellico and Tasso both did their best work in jail. n. One of the biggest mistakes about food which people make is to forget that the true value of food to anybody is the measure of its digestibllity. Half & pound of cheese is vastly more nour- ishing, as regards its mere composi- tion, than half a pound of beef; but while the beef will be easily digested, and thus be of vast service to us, the “cheese Is put out of court altogether for ordinary folks by reason of its in- digestibility. We should bear this rule in mind when we hear people compar- ing one food with another in respect of their chemical value. Food and Dige Another Comparison. “She has a face llke an incandescent globe.” i “Mercy, what a shape!” “I wasn't referring to the shape.” “What then?”’ “To the fact that it lights up so beau- tifully.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Misunderstandings and minding oth- er people’s business cause most of the trouble In this world.—Manchester Un- fon, Noah Under Suspicion. The last copy of the Ararat Journal, ‘lpubllshed three days before, the flood, bag recently been excayated from the top drawer of an orlental .magnate's desk. 5 It says editorfally: “The radical utterances of old man |Noah are to be strongly deprecated by all conservative citizens. Hspecially ido we deplore his unwarranted attacks jon the sin trust and its worthy board of directors. “Aslde from the fact that these gen- ‘tlemen stand very high in the commu- ;nlty, such wild denunciation and pre- idictions of our people listened to last ‘evening are likely to produce an unset- {tled conditions of affair§ and damage ‘business. “It is generally belleved that his mo- tives are not above suspicion. In fact, those who are well informed hint that the old man has some watered and un- digested stock of his own which he expects to float as soon as the sin trust is swamped.”—Puck. Gentle Persuasion. Many stories are told of the eccentric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived In Maine some years ago. At one time there had been a fight among some men, ‘one of whom was serlously hurt. A trial took place, and the old minister, who had seen the af- fray, was summoned as a witness. “What was Salson doing?” was the first question. L “Oh, he was slashing around.” “Well, sir, just what do you mean by that?” “Why, he was knocking about him here and there.” “Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what Salson did to this man.” “Why, he—he enticed him,” said the old minister slowly. “Enticed him! How?” “He enticed him with a crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man —to entice him—and by a serles of pokes and blows he succeeded in doing it,” said the minister mildly.—Youth’s Companion. Mother Had the Failing Too. The visitor had dropped in “just for a minute,” but she remained about three hours after the minute was up. Little Freddie had formed several plans, the execution of which must be postponed till the departure of his mother’s guest. So he sat ‘quletly thinking things. “Dear little man!” gushed the visitor. “And what is he thinking about so deeply ?” “I was wondering if it wasn't time for you to be going,” sald Freddie. “Hush!” sald his mother. Then, turn- ing to her gugst: “You mustn’t be of- fended, Mrs. Smith. Children will go blurting out the truth without think- ing. But they don’t mean anything by s Strangely enough, it was just then that Mrs. Smith recollected that she had only three minutes in which to catch the last car home.—London Tele- graph. B Try to Do This. Take a light chair and place it with its back to the wall. Stand in front of it, facing the wall, with the toes about a foot from the front feet of the chair, and, plac¢itg one hand on each side of the chair, lean forward until the top of your head touches the wall. The prob- lem is to lift the chair from the floor and, without moving the feet, to take the head away from the wall and stand upright. Simple as this appears, it is impossible. Very few people, as you will find, would anticipate any dif- ficulty in doing this. Get them to try. This trick 1s, of course, very like the old one of standing against a wall sidewise, with the shoulder and one foot touching the wall. .It is then im. possible to raise the outside foot with- out losing one’s balance and falling away from the wall. Russian Ritual,- The christening of a Russlan prince 18 a ceremony of a most ritualistic na- ture. The infant is first of all undress- ed and immersed three times in the font. The hair is then cut in the form of a cross, and the shorn locks, having been rolled in wax, are next dropped into the water. According as the ball sinks or floats in the font, so, says Russian superstition, does good or evil attend the child through life. The next incident in this elaborate ritual is the robing of the child in gorgeous garments, after which it is carried three times round the church, the god- fathers of the imperial infant walking by its side in stately procession. Coal Combustion. “There 1s enough explosive energy in a grateful of coal, if. it could be liber- ated and controlled, to hurl a 1,000 pound projectile through a foot of solid steel. But there can be no explosion ‘without oxygen, and the coal in the grate will not burn faster than the sup- ply of air which reaches it will permit. If the coal could be furnished all at once with enough air to effect its com- plete combustion, it would explode with as great violence as if it were so much dynamite: ! of hands must be clean. | Al Grocers—~ (A child’s life, mentally and physically, depends upon proper nutrition, cleanliness of food eaten being ~a great factor.

Synge’s “Social Life In England” quotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians which Indicate that as far back as 500 years 8go the medical man, in popular opin- fon at least, had In him the stuff that .allenists are made of: Suppose you know nothing, say there 1s an obstruction of the liver. - Perhaps the patlent wlill say, “Nay, master, it 18 my head or legs that trouble me.” Repeat that It comes from the liyer, and especially use the word “obstruc- tion,” for patients do not understand it, which s important. Never dine with a patient who has not paid you; it will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the sur- geon's fee. 3 ‘When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but some- times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking thelr heads against wood and the like, than from the principal patient. A Lost Dollar. A missionary bishop told at a dinner in New York, according to the Sun, this story about F. Marion Crawford, the famous novellst: “Mr. Crawford went to school,” he sald, “In Concord, and one day he was taken to call at a Concord clergyman’s. The clergyman had a misslonary box on his drawlng room table, and, time hanging heavily on the boy’s hands, he amused himself with trying whether a silver dollar—it was all the money he had in the world, and he had converted 1t into that gigantic coin for safety— would go into the slit in the box’s top. It was a close fit, but unfortunately it did go, and the coin slipped out of the embryo author’s fingers. There was a terrible crash of silver falling among the coppers, and then the boy, as the novelists say, ‘knew no more’ When he came to himself he found the clergy- man and his family in raptures over his generosity.” The Painting Jeffersons. “The Siege of Belgrade,” a comic opera by Cobb, was the first new pro- ductlon in New York in 1766-97. For it Mr. Jefferson’s grandfather, Joseph Jefferson 1st, painted the scenery, and in it he played the character of Leo- pold. Mr. Jefferson’s father, Joseph Jefferson 2d, who, like his {llustrious son, was born in Philadelphia, was more manager than actor and more painter than either. As a boy he studied architecture and drawing, and he was also pupil.to the scenic artist Robert Coyle, an Englishman of repute at that period. — Francis Wilson in Scribner’s. One Sided Talk.
