Although Colonel Waterson has been quoted as saying that
Bryan talks too much, we cannot believe that he regards him as
the only man in public life who has contracted the habit.
It. roona, at the government house
for more than a quarter of a century,
every cat which passed out of the
front door at dark was saluted hy the
sentry, who preaentcil hiiiis to the ter-
rified pussy.
it scims that in 1838 Sir Robert
Grant, governor of Bombay, died in
the government house. Poona, and on
the evening of the day of his death a
cat was seen to leave the house by
the front door and to walk up and
down a particular | i'*h precisely as
the lat“ governor had been used to do
after sunset.
A Hindu sentry observed and re-
ported this to tlie sepoys of his faith,
and they laid the matt r before a
priest, who explained to thain the mys-
tery of the dogma of the transmigra-
; tion of souls.
“In this rat,” he said, "was reincar-
nated the soul of the deceased Gov.
Grant, and it should, therefore, he
treated with the military honors duo
to his excellency."
As, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had seen on the evening of the day
of Sir Robert's death, it \gas decided
that every cat which nas-id out of the
main entrance after dark should be
saluted as the avatar of his excellen-
cy.
, Thus, for over a quarter of a cen-
tury, every cat that passed out after
i sunset had military honors paid to it,
not by Hindu sentinels only, but—
such is the infection of a superstition
j —by Mahommetan, native Christian
and even Jowish soldiers.—South

jr ONE language for all.
The aim and the methods of art mu-
seums .as well a ; other phases of life,
have felt the vitalising touch of that
spirit of human sympathy, of recogni-
tion of mutual responsibility and wish
for human helpfulness, whose rapid
growth and onward speed have been
one of the maiktd features of the
last quarter-century, says the Crafts-
man. It lias not been so very long
since a museum was something quite
apart from the- daily life of the peo-
ple, a place jn which were kept things
beautiful or interesting, whither one
might go on an idle half day, as
upon a pilgrimage. But now the mu-
seums are being humanized, made a
beneficent parly of everyday life, so
organized ami related to man's activ-
ities that they not only recount a co-
herent story of his aspirations toward
tho beautiful In past ages, but also
recognize his present efforts to achieve
beauty and show him how he may
make otjier ages and other nations
give him aid.
And, aside from the advantages on
the practical and aesthetic sides of
life which are resulting from the new
spirit in museum management, there
, is also an important ethical influ-
ence. For, as people realize through
museum collections, so brought to-
gether and related as to make that
realization easy, how the human race
has always striven to give expression
to Us ideas of beauty aud has made
that expression a part of its daily
life, they get a new sense of the uni-
versal brotherhood of humanity. And
the world advances only as men feel
and respond to the urge of that kin-
ship.

Secretary Taft's friends state that until after the Republican
national convention he will be known only as a candidate for presi-

Some one ought to suggest to Mr. Carnegie that by this time

If a brain-storm is condusive of murder, what would a brain-
byclone result in?
other nations but would give to the
favored people such an enormous ad-
vantage in the control of the political
world anil such immeasurable ptefer-
ence In the world's market that no
healthy nation would consent to it be-
fore its downfall.
For that reason . . . the chances
were never worse; the spirit of stren-
uous, yet friendly rivalry between the
nations in the markets of the world
was never more wide awake, and the
feeling of national honor was never
purer and nobler. The more the hopes
for international arbitration become
renlized, the more all nalions ot the
world become sincere friends; the
more they are enger and ought to be
eager to keep clear their own indi-
viduality, together with their own
rights and duties, their own successes
and responsiblltles. Andrew Carne-
gie’s liberality may build a palace in
The Hague in which a concert of tho
most enlightened nations speaks jus-
tice through its tribunal. But An-
drew Carnegie has not the power to
elevate liis simplified spelling hoard
in Madison avenue to the height ot a
tribunal far superior to any Hague
court; a tribunal which shall decide
that English ought to become the one
international language because the
English-speaking nations have
most progressive civilization.”
The pioneers of Kansas will nover
forget the "buffalo bone age." When
central and soul'll western Kansas were
settled the prairie was strewn with
buffalo bones. Those were hard times
In Kansas and the gathering of these
bones enabled the early settlers to
live while they were getting their j
claims broken out for the producing
of crops.
Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that
section of Kansas—and there weren’t
very many at that—had literally noth-
ing hut a team and a few household
goods that they had hauled from the
east in a single wagon, says the Kan-
sas City Star. CT course there were
no buffalo, for this was In the late
’70s, but their bones strewed the
plains, and these bones were the only
| thing that had a commercial value
and they were utilized. They were
hauled in great wagonloads to the
nearest railway, often from 60 to 100
miles away, and sold.
The horns were the more valuable
and they went first, but the rest of
the skeleton soon followed. There
were no fortunes made by these early
bone hunters, for a large load of buf-
falo bones brought only from five dol-
lars to eight dollars at the railroad
towns, but the proceeds from a load
enabled the settler to buy a little flour,
coffee and occasionally meat and lum-
ber.

A peculiarity about the present political situation is the large
number of Republican candidates for the presidency and the small
number oj Democratic candidates. Taft's friends in Ohio seem
to be making the most energetic campaign and his name seems to
be looming up as the most prominent candidate to date. How-
ever Fairbanks is quietly working in the west and saying but little
but no doubt "Sawing wood." Gov. Hughes, of N. Y.. is said to
have a strong idea that his state should have the honor and nat-
urally thinks he is the most available man. Speaker Cannon is al-
so rather hopeful that the "old boys" of the convention will stam-
pede to him. And then there are others too. lots of them. But it
seems the honors will fall among the foregoing. Meanwhile Miss
Democracy seems to accept Mr. Bryan as its foremost leader and
spokesman and the one best bet is that he will again be his party's
standard bearer.
There Is surely no word in the nom-
enclature of suns, bis and little, which
has caused, and is causing, so much
confusion in the lay mind as the word
caliber.
The confusion arises chiefly from
the use of the term in an adjectival
sense to Indicate length, as when we
say a 50-caliber, 6-inch gun.
The word caliber as applied to artil-
lery signifies essentially and at all
tinirs the diameter of the bore of a
gun. A gun, then, of six-inch caliber
is a gun whose bore is just six inches.
For convenience, and because the
power of a gun, when once its bore
has been decided upon, depends so
greatly upon its length, artillerists are
In the habit of defining the- length of
the gun in terms of the caliber.
The six-inch rapid-fire gun, as
mounted on the latest ships of the
navy, is a trifle under 2a feet in
length, and is, therefore, known as a
50-caliber gun.
In the case of small arms, the cali-
ber is expressed in hundredths of an
inch, as when we say a 22-caliber or
32-caliber pistol, meaning that, the
bore is .22 or .32 of an inch in diame-
ter.—Scientific American.
A Chinese cook in ono of the home9
across the bay from San Francisco
was terribly worried about his cousins
who were in the burning town. Sing
knew that Chinatown had been de-
stroyed. He had tried to go across to
rescue his realtives, but nobody was
allowed to land.
He went about his duties with lag-
ging footsteps and mournful face. For
two days he ate nothing, and the
symi athy of the entire family was ex-
tended to him in his trouble. At last
he appeared one morning at breakfast
time with a face wreathed in smiles.
".Me found cousins,” he announced
joyfully.
On being questioned he said that
they were lodged In the two rooms
which he rented for his own use In
the lower part of the town. They
were ail well and he was “velly hap-
py.” He* took 40 pounds of rice to
them that they might not he hungry.
"But, Sing, how many cousins have
you? Forty pounds seems a great
deal.”
He smiled his charming oriental
smile and spread his hands, “Me
SO cousins.’’—Exchange.

Never Too Late to Learn.
It is strange that not one person in
a thousand knows how to help a man
on with Ids coat or a lady with her
jacket. They all make the mistake of
hold > g tlie garment too high, espe-
cial'; the last sleeve. They lift it
so that a man nearly. dislocates his
arm reaching for it. The more fu-
tllely he grabs and claws and lurches
for it the higher they hold it, until
the wretched victim would have to get
on a pair of stilts to find the :.rm-
taole.
The proper way? Why, hold the
coat so that the armholes are as low
down as the man’s waist—taking care
to keep the skirt of the garment off
the floor, of course. If there Is any
struggle to find the last armhole, drop
it still lower; never raise It. Drop It
until his hand slip* Into it naturally.
Needed Help.
A ten-year-old street urchin, a prod
uct of the tenement, was recently ac-
cused of stealing jam from a woman
living in an adjoining house. When
brought to the children's court the
child confessed, broke down and wept.
Tho judge looked at him pityingly.
"My hoy,” he said, kindly, "how
many times have you done that?”
"Onct,” was the reply.
“Will you promise uot to steal any
move Jam?”
"Yep,” he muttered between his
sobs, "if she'll keen her pantry door
locked all the time."
In No Danger.

Politeness Pays.
"Politeness,” said Senator Gallinger.
in the hope of stilling a rather acri-
monious argument in Concord, "alway*
pays.” f
His flushed listeners looked up at
him in inquiry and he smiled and
repeated.
"Politieness always pays. Two little
girls 1 know were sot before a plate
containing two hunches of grapes—
one a very large and tempting and per-
fect hunch, the other small and hard
and green. The two little giris looked
at the two bunches for a space in al-
ienee. Then the polite child said:
“ ‘Is oo gweedy?”
“‘No,’ the other answered; I’se not
a bit. gweedy.’
“ ’Then,’ said the first, oo choose.’ *
Girls Are So Queer.
’’No, 1 never did -like him. Why,
when he used to write me glowing
love letters I would only glance over
them once.”
“Only once, dear?”
“Well — er — sometimes when 1
couldn't make out his abominable
scrawl I would glance over them the
second time.”
"Indeed! And that was all?"
“Except sometimes at night 1 would
take them from under my pillow and
read them just to kill time.”
“And that was the end?”
“Yes, only on rainy days I used to
look over them again just to see how
silly a man can be when he starts
writing love letters. But I only
glanced over them, dear. I never did
like him."
