Col. Dick also had charge of the recent senatorial campaign of Mark Hanna, when the will of the republicans of Obio was in danger of being defeated by a few bolters.

A Principle of Biology and the Inev itable Deduction THE It is a recognized law in biology that “function precedes structure.’ To define this law more exactly, we should say that function precedes the differentiation of the organ on whicl it depends. There is a certain work to he done, and a certain body of cells are set apart sooner or later to do it Just as plowing was done in some fashion before the invention of the plow, so in some manner respiration Was accomplished before the develop: ment of gills and lungs. Something of mental action came before there was ever an organized brain, In the animals of one cell, or pro- tozoa, breathing and digestion are cach performed by the whole body In the division of labor or specializa- tion which arises in the higher or many-celled animals, certain alliances clls or tissues are set apart for res- tion alone, and certain others for estion, while other functions of ed to still other ance organ in turn is released from all functions except its wh Irritability, or the response to ex- ternal stimulus, is an attribute of all living organisms. In the method and degree of response variations oceur. These variations favorable to the di- vision of labor and the adaptation of the animal to its surroundings are seized and fixed by natural selection. In this ,on the basis of adiffused function, an organ is built up and the organ itself is specialized and per- fected. The mind and consciousness of man grow out from the irritability of the lower animals. They are developed through series of succossive differen tiations and integrations. All the higher animals are colonies of co- erating and coordinated cells, In such colonies of units the functions of nsation, thought, and motion are 8 of the most sensi- brain is always adequate for the mi for the one is the organ, the other the function, and the development of the {wo must go on together.—David Starr Jordan, in Appletons’ Popular Science Monthly. Two Remarkable Examples—An Arkam sas Darky’s Feat Everyone who heard Blind Tom knows that conscious intelligence did not influence his reproductions of sounds—that he was but a sound-re. cording and.sound-reproducing ma chine, The enormous capacity of his memory was a phenomenon of sec ondary importance. Its wonderful exactitude was what most impressed cefleetive minds. The St. Lonis Globe Democrat correspondent has recently come upon two minor but noteworthy examples of this same gift. Jim Caisson is an idle, ignorant negro of about 30 years, who hangs around various hamiets in Mississippi and Crittenden counties in Arkansas He works a little, upon dire necessity, but has no vocation unless it be dice throwing. He has never been seen with paper or book in hand, and his most intimate associates say he can not read. But last fall Jim was per- suaded to endure a few days’ labor in loading cars with lumber. He and his fellows chatted almost incessantly, the intervals being filled with snatches of song. One day every member of the crew, except Jim, had gotten off some favorite rigmarole of song or story. When the diversion of the com- pany had devolved upon him, he started in promptly in dignified, re citative tone. Of course his comrades gave him “the floor.”. He rambled on for five minutes before your corre spondent comprehended that Jim was getting off one of Jocl Chandler Har. ris’ best “Uncle Remus” stories—the “Tar Baby’—and in very artistic style, too. As Jim proceeded the as- tonished white man became more and more keenly appreciative of an elocu- tionary treat. It was to be expected that Jim would manage the all but he did more—he gi every phrase its due rhetorical value, and employed all the little elocu tionary tricks of a trained public read. er. Nordid he, as faras the narrator’e memory serves, omit a single phrase of this long and complex “Uncle Re mus” fable. If Jim had devoted weeks to its rehearsal it was really a wonderful performance for an illiter. ate negro. When the story was done your correspondent inquire’ “Jim, have you read Joel Chandler Harris’ book?” “JoeChambler Harris? Who's he?’ “Why the man who wrot hat and a lot of others like it.” white f I’s nevah read ike dat.” Well, where ‘Tar Baby’ then “Oh, dat stuff, white folks, was what I heerd in one of dese here talk ing machines down to Jericho” (a near-by village). “How many times did youhearit?” “Only —hit cost a nickle, and Tjist had de price.” The writer took some pains to as certain whether Jim had really learned this complicated composition in southern folk-lore by once hearing it, and all the testimony went te show that the fellow had had but one chance, and that was when a little wagon show made a stand at Jericho, near where Jim was picking cotton and that the darky had spent his last nickel on this phonograph entertain ment. The other story in point comes from the Hotel Kiech, at Nettleton, Ark Last November a traveling man brought in a newspaper and read an hour or two before supper. He left it on the office table when he went out Presently a negro stable hand came in and picking up the paper he seemed to read aloud.a most graphic and florid account of the Johnstown flood. The breaking of the great dam; the wild race of the messenger of warning; the awful development of the ¢a- lamity with its detailed horrors were narrated as from the practical pen of a gifted newspaper correspondent, It ran on for more than a column, and closed with a glocmy forecast of the succeeding day's developments When the negro had finished his per formance he clapped on his hat and went about his duties. Another traveling man, curious to know how such an ancient paper came to be in the hotel office in such good condition, caught it up, and found that it was a copy of that day’s issue, and con- tained not one line about the Johns- town flood. He hunted up the negro and had no trouble in getting him to admit that he had committed this striking ‘olks; lid you learn the Minzesheimer Plumbing Comp’y 104 North Fitth Street Under Palmer House Telephone 362. - HENRY MAMMEN, Jr. BOOKBINDER A thoroughly equipped Book-makiny lant.
