Some of them’ are looked on witha highly favored eye, and some run up against an evident disposition to unother. ‘here are, according to the opinion of Republicans legislators, i stigation and investigations. For example, the grain and: ware- house committee made a favorable report on a resolution proposing a committee of seven to investigate Uhe inspection and weighing of grain io this state. This committee is to have power to compel the attendance of witnesses and to be provided with acierk and a stenographer. We are not quarreling with the provison of this elabyrate paraphernalla, which may all be necessary, but desire to putit in contract with another jn- yuiry certainly of equal importance. A resolution was introduced in the house empowering the committee on public accounts to employ the neces- sary accountants aod help in perform- the dutics impused upon them. There was quite a flurry over this, and the author of the resolution ac- cepted an amendment confirming the “committe 1uthority to the employ ment of one accountant ata salary of $10 per day. There was an obvious Jetermination that there should be no more iuquires by public authority than could be avoided Into timber treapasses, minerat Jand leases and ytbber unsavory matters connected with the late Republican administra- and the Jate Republican cam- paign. it looks as if the legislature were making fish out of one cause and flesh out of another, Admirable as it may be to investigate the inspec- tion and weighing of grain in the state, it is ateleast equally desirable to invest e accounts that have been subject to so much a contention and furnished material for so many apparently well founded charges of neglect of duty or worse. Investiga- tion tions in both directions should be pushed and help adequate to the work undertaken should be guar- anteed. ‘he legishature would seem ta need to do a little explaining to its copstjtuents about its. attitude towards these twoimportant branches of ingpiry.

Thompson, and is published by request, The address ls tou lengthy to admit its publication in the Herald-Review in one issue, but it will appear in installments.— EDITOR HERALD-REVIEW] {Continued from last week] . If now you will establish a cooper- aLiy conomMic tem, the men can work Logether instead of against each other in the business of life, and that will make brotherhood possible. 4. Socalisin demands property for all in the full amount of wealth which their labor creates. As pointed oat above, socialism establish private property for all on the principles of absolute justice. 5. And finally the wganize, edu working cl and those in sympathy with it, into an independent political party, to capture the powers of goverment in order to put these prin- ciples into-operation. We are fte- quently asked how these things are to be brought about. In the first place We must capture the powers of the state. Give us a socialist president, a socialist legislature, a ssocialist supreme court, governors, mayors, councils, give us these and certainly we will easily inaugurate socialism. It would not be done inaday, or a year, to be sure, but with this we could starpitat once. ‘This then is the first step to get the socialist party into favor, Ib is not that we want Lhe governmeat ownership of this or that under any old political party. We insist that the first thing is to wrest the powers of government from the hands of the present pulitical parties, who use these powers, to maintain the interests of the capital- ist class, We have no faith in either »lf party, both represent capitalism. One. the large eapitalist class, the other the smaller. We therefore seek to marshal our forces in an independ- ent party.

When the internatidnal boundary commission resurveyed the territorial lines between the United States ang Mexico the naturalists of the party gathered a carload of natural history specimens. Dr. Mearns, who, with his assistants, collected nearly 20,000 speci- mens of birds and mammals, tells of ® fight ia the air between a California vulture and a rattlesnake, which he saw while exploring the Cocopah mountains of Lower California. It was in the early morning, The Vig bird had seized the snake behind the head and was struggling upward with its writhing, deadly burden. The snake's captor appeared aware that its victim | was dangerous. The burden was heavy, as the reptile was nearly five feet long. The grip of the bird on the snake's body wes not of the best. The snake seemed to be squirming from its eaptor’s talons, at least sufficiently to enable it to strike, Its triangular head was seen to recoll and dart at the mass of feathers. 2: did this once or twice, and then with a shriek the vulture dropped its prey. "he bird was probably*500 feet or so above ob- servers. The astonished men were then treated to a spectacle se!dom seen. Few birds but a vulture could accomplish such a feat. the snake escaped from the bird’s clutches it dropped earthward like a | shot. And like a shot the bird dropped after it, catching it im midair with a grip that caused death. At any rate, the snake ceased to wriggle, and the vulture soared away to a mountain peak to devour its hard-eayned meal. That the snake did not bite the vul- ture and cause its death can only be explained by the fact that the thick feathers probably protected the flesh ‘trom the sept "s fangs.

Charles W. Stevenson. A Test for Mahogany. So closely are many of the new pieces of mahcgany modeled after the genuine antiques in form and color that only an expert can tell the dif- ference. “There is one way,” how- ever, declares a well known cor.nols- seur in antique furnishings, “‘that you " can always distinguish between the genuine and its copy. Put your knuckles against it as you “would against a mirror to tell its real thick- ness. If it is well varnished so that it brings out the reflection of the finger cieariy, you may be sure it is new. If“the reficction is clouded, it Is antique.” Natural Cure for Rheumatism. There is a wonderful grotto at Mon- summano, called the Grotto» Giusti, where ‘the natural vapor is ‘stated’,to be an infallible cure for rheumatism. Fifty years ago some. workmen were quarrying for lime when: they discov- ered the grotto. and its healing pow- ers were first made known some little time later. In the lowest portion, ap propriately named the “Inferno,” the temperature is about 95 degrees Fah: and here the victims from rheuma- tism sit and perspire for an hour at a time. Such a vapor bath is said to be ot much greater service than a Turk- | ish bath. Workhouse Museums. Several of the great London work- houses have remarkable museums at- tached to them. In a South London union museum can be found a clergy- man’s ietters of ordination -(the own- er died in the house), and a peculiar belt made of human teeth and brought from the West Coast of Africa. But perhaps the most significant of all | things shown is a small pocket dice box. Upoh the box is neatly cut: “This box and other’ wagering cost me £30,000, and brought me to the workhouse.” Prevents Sound and Smoke. A device for suppressing sound and | smoke has been provided for the ordi- nary rifle by a French soldier. It con- sists essentially of a sceel tube about thirty inches long, with several parti- ‘ions having orifices slightly larger than the bore of a gun, and this tube is attached in the front of the muzzle of a bayonet clasp whenever its use is desired. On firing the gun the gases are retarded by each partition in turn, finally escaping without sound orsmoke. With a knife at the end the xuxiliary tube can be made to serve as a bayonet. Chinese Fish Hatcheries. Those ever-ingenious people, the Chi- nese, are great at fish farming, and one of their little u.dges for hatching young fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh egg they suck the contents | through a tiny hole and refill the egg with the tiny eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The hole is then sealed up and the egg placed under a sitting hen. In a very few days the fish ova are so far advanced that one has only to break the shell into mod- erately warm water and the little fish spring to life at once. Historic House to Be Sold. York house, Twickenham, England, is now in the market, and will be sold at auction soon. It was named after James Il., when duke uf York, and in it were born two princesses, Mary and Anne, who both afterward became queens of England. The house, standing in beautiful grounds on the banks of the Thames, has many his- torical asseciation: and, according to tradition, Lord Clarendon wrote some of his essays in the garden walks. erection of Business and Residence, Buildings, Sidwalks, Ornamenal Fencing, Chim- T shall love him when. the world Is at!

An enthusiastic motor cyclist in In- , dia, to escape the heat of Bombay, | rode his machine up to Khandalla. It ‘is a seventy-odd mile run and the |road, until the foot of the ghats is | Peached, is perfectly flat. Upon the | stiffest gradient he overtook a herd of water buffalo. Hardly had he gone ;@ yard in front of the animals when one of them took offense at the smell of the gasoline, or regarded the la- bored “tuff-tuff” of the engine as a | challenge to mortal comiat. It gave | @ grunt, lowered its head and charged | heavily upon the intruder. The road | Was more than steep. It was dan- |; serous. On the right hand towered a cliff, on the left there was a drop of nearly 1,000 feet on to the tops of the j trees in the valley below. The lum- bering beast gained rapidly. Luckily, the rider carried a revolver. He drew it and fired back over his shoulder. The first shot missed, the second passed along the animal’s side. With »@ roar of pain the huge beast started aside, slipped on the edge of the “khud” and the next minute crashed down on the tree tops below. “AND JACCB KISSED RACHEL.” |, The First Really Romantic Kiss of the Scriptures. The Bible—that venerable record of ;the progress of humanity—contains the mention of ro less than 52 kisses. More than half of these were given and received by men. The first really romantic kiss of the scriptures was ; sn incident In the early lite of Jacob. |The young Jewish lad had left his father’s house and set out to see thé | world. As he plods along the dusty highway his eyes suddenly fall upor cn entrancing picture. By the edge of |!a wayside well stands a lovely maiden, \ithe gracious curves of her body out- lined against soft blue of the Palestinian Sky. A smile perchance wreathes her lips, while the pure joy of her young life finds vent in song. | It is not to be wondered at that, as , the young traveler approaches nearer, | be feels fluttering around his heart an | emotion that has never been there | before. The young man and maiden meet, and the two appear to have very speedily recognized their affinity for | each other, for the biblical story of | this first meeting ends with the state- | ment, “and Jacob kissed Rachel, ant | lifted up his voice and wept.” To My Soul.

A famous French political economist ; drew up a statistical table some time ago on this very question, and the analysis showed that nine-tenths of the world’s wars have grown out of quarrels that arose directly from com- | mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty- five wars were classified as civil; for- ty-one were wars of succession of 'Crown claims; thirty under the pre- tense of helping allies; twenty-eight were religious wars; twenty-four were wars of retaliation; twenty-two were for commercial rivalry; and eight on points of honor. Changes in National Features. Whether we look at portrait gal- leries, like Hampton court, or turn over illustration in old books, it is evident that some physiognomical change has been taking place. Tue man of stolid expression is becoming exceptional, and his place is being tak- en by a thinner, more alert, active type. The modern face is more keen, leaner end of less coarse mould than those of the older pioneers who laid the foundation of their country’s tness.—Aspects of Social Evola- stout, plethoric, muscular, ruddy-faced j GEORGE F.
