THE WILL OF THE BOSS Quay's Domineering Tactics Shown Up In True Colors. (Philadelphia Times.) In afl the history of Republican in stitutions it may bo doubted it' a sit uation over was presented exactly parallel with that existing in Penn sylvania today. It is the most won derful exhibition of the power of the "boss" that, even this state has seen under the long developing system of which Senator Quay is the consum mate exponent. The people of Pennsylvania are about to elect a governor, and the Re publican party, of which Senator is the head, is to nominate a candidate. This is to be done, as usual, by means of the "organization," which acts under the direction of the central authority, and the machinery was early put in motion to nominate the designated candidate in due form. While this is going on Senator Quay : is persuaded that another candidate would be more agreeable to some of his frionds and he abruptly counter mands the orders. He does not say what other candidate he prefers. He simply directs the Republicans of the state that they are not to elect any more delegates for Elkin, but are to elect delegates who will hold them selves subject to his further instruc tions. Ho will tell them for whom to vote when he is ready. They are by 110 means to exercise any choice of their own. This ma# not differ in result from the old plan of electing delegates in structed for local favorites, with a view to the transfer of their votes at the convention, but that plan, at least, maintained the appearance of some freedom of choice. All this pretense is now cast aside. Mr. Quay's present orders are, in effect, that the delegates to the convention shall be chosen with the understanding that they will do whatever he shall tell them. They are not to be instructed for Elkin, nor for another; they are to be instructed for X, an unknown quantity. By this means the entry of any individual candidates into the contest is to be prevented. There is to be no oppor tunity for any man to make himself •or his qualifications known. The choice is to bo left entirely to Quay. This demand is put forward with out disguise. Mr. Quay does not pre tend that the convention is to choose the candidate; he merely says that he has not yet determined upon who the candidate shall bo. He is exam ining the various applicants, but will not announce his decision until the near approach of the convention, which will then officially ratify his choice. Strange as it may appear, the only earnest objection to this auto cratic assumption comes from the friends of the candidate whose whole claim is based upon the fidelity with which he has represented Quay and his system. Elkin lias been one of the chief instruments of the machine in applying discipline to insurgents, "ripping" out one man to put in an other, and ho has no logical ground on which to protest when the ripping is applied to him. The wonderful fea ture of the situation is that Republi cans who profess to bo opposed to the machine methods acquiese in this in solent despotism and are preparing to take their orders from Quay, as though he alone was the Republican party in Pennsylvania—as apparently he is. If ever there is to be any political independence in this community, it must be won by the absolute separa tion of all self-respecting people from this whole infamous system and the defeat of whatever candidates may represent it. whether they be person- ; ally good or bad. Stone and Elkin be came obnoxious because they obeyed Quay's orders in contempt of public morality. Now lie coolly throws them aside and demands that he be allowed to select other tools at his own con venience. And, what is most as tounding, he is praised and upheld in 1 this by Republicans who have here tofore posed as reformers and now scamper to get under the Quay um brella. C iLS TOTIIA. Boara the /? The Kind You Have Always Bought , CASTOHIA. Bear, tha _/0 Kind You Ham Always Bought I THE KING SNAKE. Ho Is the Deadly- Enemy of Every Poisonous Reptile. 1 Of all kind provisions of nature per haps the manner in which snakes are ! brought into the world is the most re I markable. As a rule all harmless snakes are hatched l'rom eggs, arriv ing in batches of from thirty to eighty. : The poisonous snakes, 011 the other hand, are born in litters of from seven ;to eleven in number. There are ex l ceptions to the rule, of course, but j they are few and unimportant, for, I though the deadly king cobra lays her eggs to be hatched by the sun, they j are few in number, unlike the colonies j deposited by the harmless snakes. I Chief among the enemies of the snakes are the reptiles themselves. ! Cannibalism is general among the crea tures, the smaller snake serving as ; food to the larger one. But chief of all I snakes that hunt their own kind for 1 the pleasure of slaughter is the long, slender king snake, a constrictor by habit and a flash in his movements. Among all reptiles the king snake alone may truly be said to be the j friend of man. He is found through out the whole south, where the ruttler j and moccasin abound, sunning himself and preying for slaughter. Picked up by human hand, the reptile seems I pleased with the touch. He makes 110 effort to escape, but twines about his captor's arm and makes himself comfortable. To the rattlesnake and to every oth er dangerous snake, large or small, the king snake is a terror. The poison of a rattler has 110 more effect 011 him than so much moonshine. Instinctive ly the rattler knows his match and at sight of a king snake tries to escape, j if possible. In fight the king snake re | lies wholly upon his incredible speed. If the movements of an ordinary snake seem quick to the human eye, the movements of a king snake would seem instantaneous. In a twinkle the long, lank fellow has wound himself about the throat of an antagonist and, his sinewy coils closing about the oth er's throat, chokes the wind out of him.—New York Times. MAIL CARRIERS' CAR FARE. (Juinpunlen Are I'nid 11 Lump Sum by the Government. "Most people who spend $25 a year for car faro consider that they are con tributing liberally toward the dividends of the company," remarked a postal clerk, "but Uncle Sam spends nearly $250,000 a year for the transportation of carriers in street cars in the different free delivery cities. "For instance, including substitutes, there are 275 carriers in Washington. You may have observed that carriers, when riding on the surface roads, do not pay fares either with tickets or in cash. The free delivery system allots the Washington city postoflice an an nual allowance of $4,000 to be used ex clusively for the car fare of letter car riers. The postmaster is authorized to make a contract with the companies to transport all carriers while on duty for a lump sum, which he does. The car rier must have his pouch with him, which is a sign manual to the conduct or that he is 011 duty, the mere wear ing of his uniform being insufficient. "This rule obtains in some cities, while in others special tickets are sold at special rates to be used only by car riers, or the cash is handed direct to the carrier for a certain number of daily trips, depending upon the prac tice. Thus, while Washington receives $4,000, Chicago gets $20,000 for letter carriers' car fare because of its large territorial extent and distance between stations 011 the prairie, oftentimes ne cessitating a double fare by the car rier. Boston is allowed $1)5.500 and New York and Philadelphia about $lO,- 000 each. Few people know that the government expends such si large sum yearly for such si trivial cause."— Washington Post. A Very Old Rnle. The oldest mathematic book in the world is believed to be the "Papyrus Ithind" in the British museum, pro fessed to have been written by Ahinos, a scribe of King Ita-a-us, about the pe riod between 2000 and 1700 B. C. This "Papyrus Bliind" was translated by Eiseulohr of Leipsic, and it was found to contain si rule for making a square equal in area to a given circle. It was not put forth as an original discovery, but as the transcript of a treatise 500 years older still, which sends us back to, approximately, 2500 15. C., when Egyptian mathematicians solved, or thought they had solved, the problem of squaring the circle. Proved Her Claim.

THEY'RE WONDERS. Younv Married Man'N Comment on the Feminine Riddle. "Say," remarked a young married man, "they're wonders, ain't they? "Yesterday my wife got out of bed and ate about half u pound of choco late cream candies, the remains of a box that I'd fetched home the evening before. After that she didn't want any breakfast, but she drank a couple of cups of coffee. She went shopping in the morning, and while shopping she drank a strawberry soda and a choc olate ice cream soda. For lunch she had a glass of milk, a couple of choc olate eclairs, a piece of hot mince pie and some candy. Then she went shop ping somemore and stopped at a coun ter where a woman was 'demonstrat ing* some new kind of pickles. My wife ate about six of those pickles. Then she flitted on to another 'demon strating' counter and went up against a plate of some newfangled cereal, covered with sirup. Then she had a raspberry soda. Then she ate a little dishful of some new kind of canned ; salmon that some 'demonstrator' push ed in hr direction. Then she went to the matinee, consuming during the per formance about a pound of peanut brit tle. When I got home, 1 found her ly ing down, suffering from a bad head ache. " 'Now I wonder/ said she to me, 'what in the world could have given me a headache?' "About a month ago she had a cold that I was afraid was going to develop into pneumonia. She started it by go ing shopping during slushy, raw weath er in paper soled low shoes and thin silk stockings. Then she stood for ten minutes in the basement areaway in her bare head and with a thin house jacket on and house slippers, telling (he washerwoman how she wanted the clothes done up. Then she took a red hot bath and dressed immediately and went right out to buy the Sunday din ner, standing outside the market house for nil hour or so talking with the wo men friends she met. Then she went to the theater with me, against my solemn protest, wearing nothing on her head but an aigret that weighed oue eightli of a grain, and it was cold enough on that night to chase a polar bear into an ice cave. "She had such a cold the next morn ing that she couldn't talk. " 'Now, what in the wide, wide world,' said she to me when she'd got her pipes thawed out a little bit, 'could have given me a cold, do you think?' "Oh, they're wonders, all right ! enough," concluded tlfe young married j man, shaking his head dismally and gazing at the ceiling of the car as if ' the key to the eternal feminine riddle were inscribed there.

IT MATTERS NOT How Sick You Are or How Many Physicians Have Failed to Help You. Dr. David Kenned}'* Favorite Remedy Will Cure You if a Cure Ih i'ogtiible. Doctors are not Infallible and there are many instances where they have decided a case was hopeless and then the patients astonished everyone by get ting well and the solo cause of their cure was Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. A case in point Is that of James Lettuce of Canajubarie, N. Y., who writes: "Some years ngo T was attacked with pains in ray baek and side that were fear ful in the extreme. I could not control ray kidneys at all and what came from them was mucuousand blood. I was in a terrible state and sull'erod intensely. The partner of Dr. Vanderveer of Albany, N. Y., decided that an operation was all that would save me. I dreaded that and com menced to take Dr. David Kennedy's Fu vorito Remedy. I felt better uhnost in stantly. When I had taUen about two bot tles, the flow from the bladder was much cleaner, the pain stopped, and I was saved from the surgeon's knife and am* now well." Dr. W. 11. Morse, the famous" physi cian of West field, N. J., has this to say of this great medicine: "I have known it to cure chronic in flammation of the kidneys, where the attending physician pronouncod the case incurublo." No form of kidney, liver, bladder or blood disease, crthe distressing sickness es so common to women, can long with stand the great curative power of this famous specific. "A small quantity of this wonderful medicine has more curative power than barrels of other remedies," says a prominent New York physician.

Native, of Siberia Don't Mind n He. low Zero Temperature. Frequently, when we eouhl not ex pose our cars for two minutes without having them frozen, says u traveler in Siberia, the natives would go for an hour at a time with their hoods thrown buck from their heads, and when it re quired constant watchfulness to keep our noses from freezing they did not appear to notice the temperature at all. One morning in January I stood in perfect amazement at their disregard of the low temperature. They worked for at least half an hour with bare hands packing up the tent and utensils, handling the packages and lashing them together with ic}* seal tliongs without experiencing the least appar ent inconvenience, while I partly froze J uiy fingers striking a light for my pipe | with a flint and steel, the whole opera tion taking not more than three min utes. | The night before, happening to go out ! of the tent after our men had retired. I passed their camp, which was near !>y. Their fire had burned to a pile of embers, barely affording me light enough to distinguish the sleepers. They were lying coiled up on small deerskins, with their backs to the em bers and their fur coats thrown loosely over their naked bodies. The coat of one of them had slipped almost entirely off his body, leaving his back and shoulders exposed to a tem perature of 18 degrees F. below zero, and, though his hair was frosted, lie snored as soundly as if in comfortable quarters. Mr. Gladstone's Catch. "How many members of this house," asked Mr. Gladstone once in the course of a debate on electoral qualifications, "can divide £1,330 17s. Gd. by £2 13s. Sd.?" "Six hundred and fifty-eight!" shout ed one member. "The thing cannot be done!" exclaim ed another. A roar of laughter greeted this last remark. But it was true, nevertheless. You cannot multiply or divide money by money. You may repeat a smaller sum of money as many times as it is contained in a larger sum of money, but that is a very different thing. If you repeat 5 shillings as often as there are hairs in a horse's tail, you do not multiply 5 shillings by a horse tail. Perhaps you did not know this before. Never mind; you need not be ashamed of your ignorance, for It was shared, as lias been demonstrated, by the entire house of commons (bar one member), including the then chancellor of the exchequer.
