The municipal election in Philadel phia sounded like the rattle of sand upon the coffin of municipal reform in that big town. The Ashbrldge-Quay machine had a sweeping triumph. The trouble in Philadelphia evidently is that the rascals are respectable and use grammatical English.—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Tho Oxnard beet sugar trust Is try ing to do the biggest business on the smallest capital that evbr was attempt ed by any other trust in the country. With au annual product worth $4,500,- 000 and no more the trust is trying to control the entire sugar market of $90,000,000 a year. The tail is trying to wag the dog.—Chicago Chronicle. President Roosevelt's bloated back bone seems to have deserted him and he has yielded to the demand of the pension attorneys and leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic. He bos disgraced bis administration by per mitting these pension sharks to drive Hon. H. Clay Evans out of office. Evans stood for decency and economy in tho pension office, and while he denied m> man a pension that could claim It rightfully or legally, he did deny pensions to those not entitled tjo them, and in this way incurred the displeaaoro of the pension sharks. They haw succeeded in making things so unpleasant that he has resigned. No maftor what honors may be con ferred on Mr. Evans by President Roosevelt he cannot escape the shame and humiliation of yielding to a greedy gang of pension looters. —Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.). Tlie Number "Three" lu the Bible. When the world was created, we find it and its surroundings composed of three dements—air, water and land— the whole lighted by the sun, moon and stars. Adam had three sons men tioned by name, and so did Noah, the patriarch. Daniel was thrown into a den with three lions for the crime of praying three times. Shadrach, Me shaeh and Abednego were rescued from the fiery furnace. Job had three spe cial friends. There were three patri archs—Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Samuel was called three times; Elijah prostrated himself three times on the dead body of the child; Samson de ceived Delilah three times before she discovered the secret of his great pow er, and the Ten Commandments were delivered on the third day. Jonah was three days and nights In the whale's belly. "Simon, lovest thou me?" was repeated three times. Paul makes mention of the three graces faith. hope and charity. The famous allegorical dreams of the baker and butler were to come to pass in three days. Then we have the lioly trinity— Father, Son and Holy Ghost; tlie sacred letters on the cross wore three in num ber, they being I. 11. S.; so also the fa mous Roman motto was composed of three words—viz. In hoc signo. Sleight of Hand Potnonln*. A very curious item in toxicological lore 1 chanced to light upon, wrote George Augustus Snla In one of his let ters, may be called the feat of poison ing by sleight of hand. You were jeal ous of a lmly, and you wished to kill licr. Well, you asked her to lunch, and you caused n very nice peach to be served at dessert. You cut tho fruit with a golden knife, one side of the blade of which was endued with a deadly poison. You presented the poi soned half of the peach to the lady, who ate it with much relish and then dropped down dead. Tho wholesome half you ate your self and laughed in your sleeve and wont on slicing more peaches for the ladies of whom you were jealous till you were found out and broken on the wheel. Aye, there's the rub! What high old times we might have, to lie sure, but for that plaguy contingency of being found out! Proof Presumptive. A Mohawk vallej justice of the peace invariably gave judgment for the plain tiff in civil suits before liirn- without hearing the defendant, silencing that unfortunate litigant with, "Veil, vot 1 tiuk.- he sue you for if you don't owe li.'m Rochester Democrat. Tvro Named mid Two Tlesnlts. A large steamer was once wrecked because one of the sailors was named West The vessel was outward bound from Rotterdam, and the sailor was on deck polishing some brasswork. Sud denly the captain called him and told hi in to go below. The second officer on the bridge heard the captain call out the man's name and thought it was an order to change the course of the vessel to west. lit* did so, and the result was that the ship ran on to a dangerous shoal. That name cost the owners of the vessel the sum of $300,000. During the Afghan war of 1870 a small British detachment gained a vic tory over a large body of the enemy by a mistaken order. A private named Vance, who had distinguished himself by several acts of bravery, was a great favorite with one of the officers, and during a skirmish the officer wanted him to carry a dispatch to the colonel In command of another detachment. The man was only a few yards away, and he called out, "Vance!" at the top of his voice. The men thought he had given the order "Advance!" and imme diately rushed forward with such dash ,and spirit that the enemy broke and fled. MonNtronH Force of Tornadoes. Mueli has been said about electricity as a factor for destructiveness in the various gyrating stonnclouds known us cyclones, drechoes and tornadoes. In all of this voluminous mass of so called scientific opinions and deduc tions one fact seems to have been en tirely overlooked—viz, the almost re sistless force of wind when moving with high velocity. When the veloc ity is but fifty miles an hour, the pres sure of air in motion is equal to twelve pounds to the square foot, and when this velocity rises to a hundred miles per hour its force rises to the equivalent of 49.2 pounds to the square foot, the augmentation of force being always proportional to the square of the ve locity. It needs no further elaboration or amplification of this statement to con vey to the intelligent reader an idea of the monstrous mechanical force which such a rapid traveling mass of air must have, a power great enough to tear down any structure that has yet been built by man or to uproot whole forests of the largest trees now growing on the surface of the earth. Wltafa In a Name ? "I became very much interested in a chance companion on a railway train," said a New York clergyman. "He was plainly of Italian birth or extraction, and so 1 remarked to him: 44 4 Where were you born?' 44 4 ln Genoa,' replied the young man. 44 ' And what is your name?' 44 'Patrick Murphy.' 44 4 llow in the world did you get that name?' I asked Instinctively. " 4 I took it,' replied the young man. 44 'Why did you choose such a name?' 44 'Because I wanted people to think I was an American,' was his reply." An Interruption. The prayer meeting was held at good Brother W.'s house on the hill. The meeting had progressed, and prayer and remarks and hymns had occupied the time. The hour of closing had ul most arrived. The dominie in a low voice said: "Now there is just a mo ment left. Isn't there some one who would like to fill In that moment before we close?" There was dead silence when in the twinkling of an eye the door on the clock flew open, and out popped the head of a little bird, which said, "Cuckoo!"—Homiletlc Review. Prnnea. Dr. Hanson, writing on the subject of prunes, says: 44 A pound of prunes is equivalent as food to a gallon of milk and costs but a quarter as much. It is about equivalent to a pound of bread, but Is far more healthful. Considered from an economic standpoint, no fresh meat, fish, milk or eggs can be provided for the same moderate cost, and none of them contains, even approximately, the same aggregate of nutritive ele ments." Jerrold In School. Douglas JeiTold wrote "Black Eyed Susan" when he was twenty-one and contributed to Punch the immensely popular "Caudle Lectures" not long afterward. But at nine years of age young Jcrrold had been scarcely able to read, and it was not until be was ap prenticed to a printer, after serving for some time as a midshipman at sea, that he showed either desire or capacity for intellectual improvement Two Mlndedness. High mindednoss and right mimled ness may profitably be supplemented by "two inindodness," which has been de fined as the habit of taking into ac count what is urged on both sides and trying to combine the essential parts of the two opposing arguments Into one higher truth. Magnanimity, hon esty. breadth—a trio of qualities worth possessing and the lust by no means the least. I'lacinu: the Sympathy. Grimes—Doesn't it disgust you to see a youngster trying to make a man of himself by imitating the wiles of his elders? Harris—Not at all. 1 cannot help sympathizing with the boy, he evi dently so thoroughly enjoys making a fool of himself.—Boston Transcript. I'oruol llininelf. She -My husband is a brute. Friend—All men are brutes, my dear. She—Mine is simply abominable! I asked him if he did not think you as pretty as I. and he said "Yes."—New York Weekly. Nothing is so grand as truth; noth ing so forcible, nothing so moral.—Lun- (Jcrran find Sip Boyle Roche, Sir Doyle Roche, a famous Irish char acter of a century ago, was proud of his alliance with an English family of ancient lineage and was fond of re ferring to his titled father-in-law's kindness In giving him his eldest daughter, a boast which provoked Cur tain's retort, "Aye, Sir Boyle, and, de pond on it, if he had had an older one he would have given her to you." Whether it was this sarcasm which provoked Sir Boyle's hostility or that an enmity had already been created between Roche and Curran, it is cer tain that the two men were perpetually sparring at each other in the house of commons, as the debates of the Irish parliament testify. Nor was the witty advocate and or ator always successful in these en counters. Curran had observed one night, somewhat magnlloquently, that he needed aid from no one and could be "the guardian of his own honor," whereupon Sir Boyle instantly inter jected his sarcastic congratulations to the honorable member on his posses sion of a sinecure. Btiblp* llml Monkeys. A frequent action with babies is to turn the soles of the feet sideways, op posite to one nnother, while the legs remain straight. Just this attitude would be assumed by a monkey when climbing a tree or walking on a branch in order to grasp the stem with its hind legs. The inherited effects of tlius grasping tree trunks or limbs with the hind hands are often very marked in young babies. The bow legs, which are a feature of infancy and a matter of some anxiety to mothers, are no more than the relics of the tree climbing stage, and the mother need not be frightened about this character; any normally healthy baby will grow out of it soon enough. Then, if a young baby he held so that its feet touch the ground, one may see that the feet are not put flat to the Bur face. Instead, the outer portions of the feet rest on the ground, while the soles of the feet are more or less opposed to one another; they have the bough grasping attitude. Pearson's Maga zine. Old Flr.RliHh Police Tax. The chief authorities of towns in past ages Incurred much responsibility. At Ripon we have a good example of their liabilities. Here formerly, after the blowing of a horn at 'J o'clock at night and until sunrise next morning, if a house were robbed and the owner and his servants had taken proper precau tions for its safety, the wakeman had to make good the loss sustained. Each householder paid an annual tax of two pence if lie had one door and fourpence if lie had two doors to his dwelling for maintaining a watch over the city. The tax has long since been discontinued, but the horn is still blown at night. Lashed Tor Ills Discovery. According to an old document dis covered some time ago in Australia, gold was first found by a convict near Paramatta in 1789. The unfortunate fellow was at once charged with hav ing stolen a watch and "boiled it down" and. being convicted by the rude court of those early days, was given 150 lashes for liis pains. In later years the record of this incident was closely ex amined by an undoubtedly competent authority, who was quite convinced of the genuineness of tlie convict's story. A Peculiar Politician. "He's a mighty hard man to get along with," said the practical politi cian sadly. "Mighty hard." "He seems thoroughly honest." "Of course he is. That's what makes him so erratic and unsatisfactory. Ev ery once in awhile he insists on doing something simply because he thinks it is right, without waiting to figure out what its effect on his political pros pects is liable to be." Washington Star. Interrupted Grieving?. A woman in Scotland had lost her husband, and the minister, calling io condole with her, found her sitting in front of a large bowl of porridge. "Terrible loss, terrible loss!" sighed the minister. "Aye," was the reply, "it's a terrible loss to me. I've just been greetin' a' niclit, and as sune as I finish this wee drap porridge I'm just gauu to begiu again." The Encroaching; Lake. One of the humorously attractive characteristics of a child is his large sense of personal importance. A little girl was walking with her father on the shore of a large lake, where the waves were gently lapping up on the beach. Suddenly one came up higher than the others and swept over her foot, when she exclaimed, "Oh, papa, the lake stepped on my toe!" IIIM POMillon 111 Politic*. "lie's going in for politics. Wouldn't he make a splendid diplomat, though V" "What? Why. he's a deaf mute." "Exactly. Just think how easy it would be for him to be absolutely dumb when it was expedient." "Yes, but then be could never talk without showing bis hand."—Philadel phia Record. Pnrr and Erskine. Dr. Parr on meeting Lord Chancellor Erskine, with whom lie was friendly, i>nce said, "Erskine, I mean to write your epitaph when you die." "Doctor." answered the great lawyer, "it is almost a temptation to commit suicide." Their Mingle Thought. Hook—That young married couple appear to he two souls with but a single thought. Nye—Yes. He thinks he's the only tiling on earth, and she agrees with him.—Philadelphia Record. Would Not Insure Him. Insurance Companies Refused to Insure the Rev. J. W. Yeisley Because He Had Kidney Trouble. This ease is but one of thousands where the head ofjtho house was refused insurance, because ho had kidney trouble. Mr. Yoisloy had given up in despair when some friend recommended Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and it cured him. Mr. Yeisley writes: "My kidneys and liver were in bad condition and 1 was anxious for rHiof. I bad tried many remedies without success and when I bought a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,' it was with but little faith In its over helping me, but in a short time it effectively proved its merit. Per haps the best proof I can give that it has completely cured me is to state that I havo since boon accept ed by four different life insurance companies.*' The Rev. Mr. Yoisloy is the pastor of the First Reformed church, of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of the St. Paris Dispatch. Thero is no question that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for dis eases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as the weaknesses peculiar to women. It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold urine and the necessity of getting up a number of times during the night. It puts an ond to that scalding pain when passing urine and corrects the bad effects of whiskey and beer. It is sold by all reliable druggists for §1 a bottle, 6 bottles for $5.00 —less than one cent a doso. Sample bottle —enough for trial, free hp mail. Dr. D.Kennedy Corporation,Koiuloiit.N Y. Dr. David Kennedy's Magic Eye Salvo for all diseases or inlluminations of the Eye 25c. Hook Pinto*. The question of the use of the family coat of arms vexes the American very seriously. Originally all hook plates were heraldic. That was In an age when people generally could not read and wlfen the blazon of each family, as shown on wearing apparel or small be longings, was as well known and quick ly distinguished as an autograph or photograph today. In the main, it is safe to advise Americans not to use coat armor on their book plates. The uncertainty of the actual right to arms and the extreme difficulty of getting a drawing that one knows is undeniably correct in every detail are strong rea sons against its use. Heraldry is too exact a science to admit of liberties, and it is no small achievement to draw the coat of arms with absolute correct ness and yet with artistic feeling. Though it is not very generally prac ticed, it is legal to copyright the book plate design. At least two plates are so protected in this country. This would seem to leave a door open for those who wish to secure for themselves a per sonal distinguishing mark, a quasi heraldry, for the drawing may he in heraldic form as well as in any other.— Century. Wanted Crude Egg*. "Bring me crude eggs, shredded wheat biscuits and a glass of milk," said the man on the Boston boat. "Yes, sail," replied the waiter. "What kind of aigs was them, sail?" "Crude eggs." "Y'es, sab; yes, Bah," repeated the man, walking away with a perplexed expression. Shortly he returned. "We ain't got them aigs, sah, but we's got 'em boiled, fried, poached an' scram bled, very nice, salt." "No, no," protested the Boston man. "I want them crude, raw." "Ob," gasped the waiter, "you wants 'em raw?" "Certainly." Having brought them, the waiter looked on curiously while the man broke the yolks of the eggs over the shredded biscuit and stirred the whites up in the milk. "Dat's one of dem food cranks," reported the waiter to the next table.—New York Press. Sivlft Wlnfffl. It is difficult to account for tlie enor mous velocity of some birds' flight when migrating. The northern blue throat goes at the rate of r 4O miles an hour, flying 4.500 miles from Egypt to Helgoland In a spring night of barely nine hours. Virginian plover fly from Labrador to north Brazil, IMSOO miles, without stopping, going at the rate of f1,3(5 miles an hour and probably more. How can this speed be attained? The birds resort to great heights, where the resistance of the air is slight. MviiiK lii n Crnter. There is no more interesting or curi ous sight on this earth than tlie interior of the extinct crater, Aso San, about thirty miles from the city of Kuma uioto, in Japan. This peculiar locality is inhabited by 20,000 people, who live and prosper within its vertical wall 800 feet high. The inhabitants rarely make a journey into the outer world, but form, as it were, a little nation by themselves. Method In Hi* Deceit.
