The ordinary playing cards of today are derived from a stick game sup posed to originated in this coun try. Fifty small sticks are a pack. The "game" was originally for the player to divide the sticks rapidly with his two bands, the opponent guessing which 1 and held the larger number. Owners of sticks spent rainy days in carving them. The Asiatics borrowed the game and carved more elaborate counters out of Ivory. Those with dif ferent carvings grew to have different values. Arranging them in groups of fours made it necessary to add two to the original number. Then thin slabs of Ivory began to be used. For centuries after this all playing cards wore hand painted, at first on ivory or metal, afterward on card board. The pictures, at first legendary heroes and ladies, gradually became the fixed, wood faced caricatures we now know, and these, coming back to Amer ica in their westward journey around the world, find our Pacific coast Indi ans still juggling the same kind of sticks tlieir forefathers used.—-New York World. The Word "Starvation." The n ord "starvation" was introduc ed into the English language by its coiner, Henry Dundas, afterward Vis count Melville. It was originally used by him in a speech in parliament on the American debate in 1775 and was immediately caught up and applied to himself in a political nickname, so that he was known thenceforward as "Star vation" Dundas." "1 shall not," such was his declara tion, "wait for the advent of starva tion from Edinburgh to settle my judg ment." Before the time of Dundas "starve," "starving," "starved" and "starveling" were in use. but hunger or famine rep resented lhe state of starvation. Although this word has now an es tablished place in our vocabulary, it was at first vigorously opposed by many, and on just grounds, as of hy brid formation. The root "starve" is old English, while the ending, "atlon," is Latin, it does not appear in any English dictionaries until the year 1809. l)ei> Sea Flub. Great forests of seaweeds cover the bottom of tlie ocean and reacli from the greatest depths to the surface. In these forests there is life more diversi fied than in the primeval forests of the tropics. Spiders and wormlike animals of enormous size, infusoria?, crabs, sea urchins, shells, crustaceans, starfish, turtles and millions of other living things of all kinds find tlieir food in the equally varied plant life of the deep sea. A curious circumstance connected with deep sea fish is that none of these hus ever been brought up alive. Re cent deep sea explorations reveal the fuct thai the ocean still contains im measurable treasures which await de velopment and utilization by human inventiveness. The most fertile acre of cultivated land is a sterile desert compared with one acre of the surface of the deep sea bottom. Wet Shoe*. The usual—and the wrong way—of treating wet boots is to take them off and put them on the fender or the radi ator to dry. This method spoils the boots. Too much heat cracks and hard ens leather. Another wrong way is to stand them on their soles anywhere to dry. The proper way is to place the boots, solos upward, near enough to the fire to dry slowly and properly, but not to steam during the drying. The soles should always be turned upward, even when the boots are only a little wet, for this way enables the air to reach the wettest part of the leather first.—American Queen. T l<* Colohnuh of lilioden. The Colossus of Rhodes, a bronze statue, was 105 feet high. It was made by Chares, who, aided by an army of workmen, consumed twelve years in its construction. It remained in posi tion in the harbor of Rhodes for sixty six years and was thrown down by an earthquake B. C. 224. It lay on the ground 894 years and was sold to a Jew for old metal. He carried away 900 eainol loads, or about 720,090 pounds, of bronze. Kodcl Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat. CITIZEN EMPLOYEE. I WHAT OUR BOASTED INDEPENDENCE MEANS TO HIM. Political Democracy and Indnntrlal Autocracy Cannot Co-cxlst—No Man Can Continue Klulf Slave and Half a Freeman. There nre a convincing roll and vol ume to the words, "Triumphant De mocracy." They sound well. Hut the author' of this phrase overlooked sev eral somewhat Important considera tions. Democracy is not yet triumphant even In America. After it has gained control of the country in which it is supposed to have reached its highest development, predictions about its rul ing the world will be more to the point. Such an idea at present is but a dream of hope. Democracy has its hardest battle yet to fight—right here in Amer ica. America, as a nation. Is leading a dual life. It Is preaching democracy and practicing autocracy, like a tem perance lecturer who takes a drink of whisky to give inspiration to his words. For 126 years but one political philosophy has been taught in the United States—the philosophy of free dom, equal rights, "the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It has covered newspaper pages and resounded from public rostrums and in legislative halls. The doctrine has been laid down in courts; schools have taught it; books are full of it; the na tion is saturated with it. Judging by our political standards, every Ameri can must be free and equal in his po litical rights to every other American, lie must be exercising liberty and pur suing happiness unhindered. Every body, theoretically, has an equal voice in the government. Each citizen is an uncrowned sovereign. This is one side of American life. There is another. Interests involving the lives ami happiness of thousands are in the hands of one man responsi ble to nobody. He has as absolute control within his sphere as any auto crat now on earth or as any autocrat who ever existed. Ilis employees are his subjects, owing him closer and stronger allegiance than they owe to any government. Their time and their energies nre his to do with them as he pleases. He cannot decree that one of these subjects be beheaded. That is not necessary; our modern methods are not so crude. The autocrat of today can control his subjects without any such revolting brutality. It is usually sufficient to deprive the subject of his means of livelihood and thus make him his own executioner. This the autocrat of today has ample power to accomplish. The insurgent subject can be cast out, an exile in the industrial world. He who controls your means of livelihood controls your life. "I will not do this thing," says the "free and independent" citizen em ployee, asserting his proud preroga tive. "It is against my own best in terests und the interests of my coun try." "Very well," replies the industrial autocrat. "I have no further use for your services. You may go." "Whither shall I go?" inquires the "free and independent" citizen, finding his freedom rather embarrassing at the very first step. "I know no busi ness but this. My life has been spent in learning it. No other means of live lihood Is open to me. Y'ou control this branch of industry absolutely." "Your troubles are nothing to me. This business is my business. Do as I say or go." The "free and independent" citizen does as the industrial autocrat says. He does it absolutely and unquestion ingiy thereafter. A "kicker" is not appreciated in the Industrial world when the autocrat to whom he is sub ject Is the target for bis protests. When the "free" man may be sent into the world without an occupation at the whim of an autocrat to whom ho owes allegiance, it behooves the "free" man to please the autocrat. In other words, the "free and independent" American citizen employee must of necessity be the willing and submissive slave of an industrial autocrat. Usually the demand to do this or that tiling concerns the business of the autocrat only; usually, too, it is a rea sonable demand—at least from the standpoint of the autocrat. Everybody concedes that the autocrat has the right to conduct his own business in his own way. The law upholds him. Public opinion is not adverse. It is not sufficiently enlightened, or, if one cares to take the opposite view, It has learned better. The important fact is that the industrial autocrat is able to exact unquestioned obedience from the "free and independent" citizen em ployee. It may be more or less im portant to consider that the obedience may take the form of using the em ployee's literary skill to write for pub lication in a groat newspaper an article that he knows to be false, misleading and vicious. To be sure, the autocrat docs not think it so. Perhaps he does not know enough to think straight up on such questions, or his interests may lie in n different direction. At all events, tlie hired literary skill express es the views of the autocrat, not of the writer. The employee may be called upon to take an unconscionable advan tage of a business rival, to falsify cor poration records or destroy them in order to carry out or cover up a con spiracy to defraud, to twist the law so as to cover up or permit some villainy. When the "free and independent" citi zen becomes an employee, bis con science is one of the instruments be turns over to the Industrial autocrat. Of course the citizen employee lias the right to vote nnu hold office. He may listen to political speakers paint his proud position among the peoples of the earth. Indeed, he may find hap piness in practicing the forms and con templating the philosophy of freedom. But ho cannot blind himself to the fact that in America industrial absolutism is sot over against political democracy. Can they live on in harmony? Abra ham Lincoln said no nation could con tinue to exist half slave and half free. Can any man continue to be half a slave and half a freeman? It is only within the last quarter of a century that this issue has begun to shape itself sharply In the United States. Twenty-live years ago indus try was so chaotic—or anarchistic, if you please—that no one man in that field had a power that was especially dangerous. The industrial autocrat necessarily has absolute control over a large pro portion of the citizenship of the coun try. It is becoming most difficult and unprofitable to shift from calling to calling. We are rapidly reaching a point where industrial autocrats will have absolute control over a majority of the citizens of the country. Ameri can citizens are becoming industrial independents, subjects, vassals, serfs or slaves, Just as one views it. In other words, a large section of the country's citizenship has a double nlle gianee, which is becoming more and more sharply defined. On one side the allegiance is to a political organism built on the lines or on the principles of freedom—an organism that he re spects more or less and loves with a greater or less degree of warmth. On the other hand, he owes alleglunce to an industrial autocrat who has power over his livelihood—over the happiness, if not the very existence, of himself and liis family. He appeals to the gov ernment, if he have intelligence enough to feel his position, and finds the gov ernment impotent before the might of the industrial autocrat. It cannot save Its citizens from the exactions of pow erful business combinations. But he finds the autocrat able not only to defy the government, but to reward and protect those who serve him well. Peace, honor and plenty are in store for those who do the bidding of the king. In the citizen's dual allegiance his narrow self interest and his closest and strongest ties are to the industrial autocrat. In the silent but everlasting contest between democratic govern ment and industrial autocracy the citi zen with dual allegiance is necessarily on the side*of the industrial autocrat; hence the industrial autocrat constant ly gains in power. Ills dependents become more numerous as well as more closely bound to his fortunes. In the social evolution of today the indus trial autocrat's star is in the ascend ant. If his power continues to grow in the future as it has grown in the past, he will rule absolutely. the enfeebled government, and we will have political as well as industrial autocracy, for the industrial autocrat will control the democratic republic. That government which is controlled by an autocrat is an autocracy, no matter what its nomi nal form may be. I do not mean to imply that America has come to this already, but the seeds have been sown. The plant is even growing with that trend. It is as cer tain as that night follows day that the citizen cannot continue Indefinitely in his dual allegiance. There are too many points of contact, and at every point it is a clashing contact. No man can be a good subject of an industrial autocrat and at the same time a good citizen of a democratic republic. The interests he must serve are antagonis tic—fatally, irreconcilably so. Our po litical and industrial philosophies must be harmonized. If America would re tain political democracy, it must also have industrial freedom. * * * We now live in a decade what they lived in a century 1200 years ago. Our industrial feudalism is rapidly giving way to industrial centralization. Al ready we have one man in the world of industry with greater power than Louis XIV. ever had in the world of politics. A nation more powerful than the whole of Europe in the day of Louis takes this man's word as finan cial gospel. The whole industrial world trembles before him. Where is this going to end? Is a man with the control of industry with in his grasp, with an organization so centralized as to be responsive to his every impulse, going to be foiled by a many headed political organization pur suing a more or less abstract ideal in a haphazard and desultory way? It makes little difference whether this new order of industry is a pure au tocracy or an oligarchy with a sort of presiding autocrat. It hus the power and solidarity of interest to overmas ter the loose and unmanageable politi cal organization. In the present indif ferent temper of the people there is no doubt that the industrial autocracy will continue to dominate the nation. As time passes it must gain complete control. * * ♦ I have no remedy to suggest. In deed, I would be a sstge if I could de vise one to fit the case. What I want to lay emphatically before the reader is the fact that American citizens are fast acquiring a dual allegiance, the demands of which are absolutely clashing and incompatible. At the same time an industrial order is grow ing up in this country essentially an tagonistic to the political order that we have been building for more than a century and a quarter. Our economics sanction tills industrial order—alien to our political philosophy, alien to our institutions and menacing to our fu ture security, it leaves us hopelessly powerless In the face of a threatened perversion of our most cherished ideals. Industrial autocracy cannot live on terms of peace with political liberty. It is impossible to have both at once. We must have Industrial and political liberty or industrial and political au tocracy. Which we shall have depends upon the Intelligence, patriotism and essential ideals of American citizens.— J. W. Beuiiett iu Arena. EXTENSION OF ' THREE STREETS Contiuued from First Page, requested to ask council to grant the | street employes a nine-hour day with ten hours' pay and made a motion to j that effect. He was asked to bring In ! an ordinance to cover the proposed change.

Bids for erecting a stairway in the Municipal building, repairing the Fourth ward tire house and removing ■ the old fire bell, were read from Lewis U. Lentz, $287, and J. E. Griffith, $3lO. A discussion on making further repairs to the Fonrth ward building took place and a motion prevailed that the bids be 1 tabled. The building committee was ordered to have the old fire bell removed as quickly as possible. The fire and water committee, in con- j junction with the Fourth Ward Fire j Company, was authorized to give the engine a test.

In a hundred ways conditions at the seashore have changed. The time was when one never considered that the shore could be visited until a hot season of July and August, first because of the supposed miserable weather, and bo cause there were no hotel accommod ations fur those who dared to visit, nor were there any attractions in the amuse ment line. Of course the Southern and Florida resorts wore in bloom, but in May and June the weather was far from delightful, and for the busy man who de lights. iu a day or two's outing during these charming months Florida was out of the question. Then Atlantic City came to the front. A superb climate, magnificent hotels, entertainment gal ore. and all within three hours of N w York, and at the shore too, what more could von ask. Atlantic City at the present time is the Ideal spot, its temperature averag ing in the seventies, when overcoats and heavy clothing are unnecessary. The ocean breezes are most exhilarating and bracing, and the board walk is thronged with a happy crowd. Down at inlet two score of craft are in commission for de lightful pleasure cruises along the shore. The several big ocean piers are alive and entertainment Is provided for young and old in the form of theatricals, con certs, cakewalks, basket ball games, dancing and like diversions. The bazaars on the board walk are all open and from the inlet to Chelsea there is go Incessant liveliness. At lantic'. City was made famous by its mar vellous hotels, and every one of ihe beach front hostelries numbering fully a score and accommodating fully 20.000 guests. Is open for reception of visitors. These hotels cater to your every de mand. and nothing is left undone which will make yon happy and comfortable. The cuisine in every instance Is equal to that of the fashionable metropolitan houses, and when you consider the fact that Atlantic City Is but three hours distant from New York by the New Jer sey Central, it can be readily imagined that Atlaotic City is the leading resort for Mav and June, as well as the sea sons.
