Ice and Other Weights.

In another column in this paper will be found the results of the investigation made yesterday afternoon by John Taylor, inspector of weights and measures regarding the ice scales. Every scale was tested in the presence of a representative of this paper. The scales were found in good shape. It is clear that if there have been glaring abuses of fhe ice weights that these are cases in which the drivers have not weighed the ice or weighed it by guesswork. With this human agency at work it is the fault of the consumer if he does not get his full weight. Mr. Rettig of the ice company states that he has had but two complaints this season of underweight. In each case he found that the complaints were just and made proper restitution. The city inspector has had one complaint and straightened the matter out. It is therefore up to each individual to see that he is not given underweight. This is in direct line with the work of the Indianapolis department of weights and measures. It is the opinion of that department that the only protection which any city has is for each housewife to purchase a pair of scales, have them tested and transform herself into a checking department on the weights of the city. It is our opinion that by such a method underweight will be much discouraged. If we are not interested in our own affairs it is hardly fair to lay the blame either on the officials of a city or on the proprietors of a business. The wonder is not that there are so many instances of short weight but that there are so few. Unless a man is a habitual kicker we fancy that he receives more ice than he pays for unless it be the very small consumers. The small cakes of ice have a larger wastage than the larger ones and the hotter the day the greater the wastage. This is not the first time that we have urged the formation of a protective league of housewives armed with scales sealed by the city sealer. The sooner this is brought about the sooner the city department of weights and measures will assume the importance it deserves.- More can be done by intelligent public interest than by any other method.

A NEGLECTFUL MOTHER. A teacher in one of the schools of a

tig city made great effort to keep In

(order a boy eleven years of age, son

f a wealthy society woman. Following a series of misdemeanors.

I she sent him home. She told him to In-

(form his mother why he bad been dis

missed. Next day she asked the lad

If be had told bis mother. "No." t why?" asked the teacher. ' "Well, teacher, I haven't seen mother for nearly two weeks, and then she was just going out. When I start to school in the morning she Is asleep.

and they won't let me wake her. When

I get home in the evening she Is at some afternoon tea, and when she cornea home late at night I am in bed. So I don't often see her." In the school this youth is known as 'the bad boy." But who is really bad this boy or his mother? It may seem cruel to so characterize the mother, bat The woman Is criminally neglectful. In the sight of God she Is guilty of breaking down the walls of her home, of exposing her own flesh and blood, of permitting" the soul of her son to be twisted by influences alien to the borne, of depriving her boy of a mother's guidance and influence. Driven by her mad passion for en-

I, tertainment or by some Insatiable spiral It of restlessness, she leaves her son bis own devices.

The boy Is at the age when the body Is aquiver with vitality and the mind restless and eager for impressions. Is It strange be should blunder into evil ways? ' He is not to blame. Under a better environment he might have been different. Send such a boy to the country, give him opportunity to work oft his surplus energy, give him wholesome interests, make a chum of bin:, care for him. and he is likely to grow up a good and useful man. Now he bid fair to grow into a rich hoodlum or a rnke. a creature without stamina, physical, mental or moral; a ruined boy. tlie waged of whose sin may be early disgrace or premature death. And some daySome day a dart shnl! pierce the soul of this boy's mother for having brought a man child into the world and aban

doned him to fate.

"Any Number?" All day yesterday anxious men called up this office, newspaper men crowded around the wires bringing in the returns from Ca" timers. But there was no nomination. The same situation will begin again this noon. Mr. Bryan's statement this morning says: "What the country wants to know is that the candidate it. presents the people. A President cannot serve two masters. Every honest man knows this, and a dishonest man ought to learn it. It does not matter from what section the candidate comes. It does matter a great deal whether, when he takes the oath of office, he can take it without mental reservations. "We have any number of men entirely qualified for the position, men whose sympathies are with the people. If this convention will select any one of them and give him a clean committee, made up of honest and earnest men, the progressive Republicans will not need to talk of starting a third party; the crisis is at hand, and those who read this report tomorrow morning may at the same time learn the name of our candidate." We have quoted this part of Mr. Bryan's copyrighted correspondence for the phrase: "We have any number of men entirely qualified for the position, men whose sympathies are with the people." Unfortunately there are only two men whom the people of this country believe measure up in record and character to the title of "progressive." One of them is Wilson. The other is Bryan himself. Who will the Democrats nominate? Clamp Clark, of the vicious record and the smiling exterior? Underwood, a man who prides himself on his truly "conservative" way of looking at things? Kern, who divides friendship with Bryan and Taggart? Marshall, who believes that the executive should allcv legislative bodies to take their own sweet course? Are these the men whom Bryan refers to? That will be decided sometime this' week. We can then measure the Democratic outcome and see u x-iyan has been sidetracked or whether he is willing to go to the same limit as Theodore Roosevelt. Bryan will have many temptations, many of them playing on his most generous impulses. But the country does not believe that there are "any number of men entirely qualified for the position." Neither does it believe that Taggart and Murphy if unhorsed in Baltimore are dethroned in Indiana and New York.

Branding Criminals. Until the end of the eighteenth century the prisoners' dock in most important English law courts was furnished with an iron upright and collar fixed in front of the person who was being tried. If a conviction followed and the judge elected to include a decree of branding in the sentence that portion of it was carried out upon the spot. The criminal's hand was put through the collar, which was effectually screwed around the wrist and, the necessary branding iron having been previously heated in the courthouse fire, was forthwith marked upon the thumb with the letters which the judge directed to be burned upon it

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that . is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rubbling sound or imperfect hearing, ana when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nina cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is uothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

ANIMALS THAT COUNT. Magpies. Roks and Apes Can't Get Past the Number Four. There are human beings, such as inhabitants of the Murray Islands, in the strait of Torres, that cannot count further than two. But. most surprising still, most animals possess 'calculating abilities, and several .have a distinct cppreciatlon of number. In certain mines of Ilainault the horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take another step. Montaigne says that the oxen employed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning tfce wheels to which the water paila were attached absolutely refused to make more than a hundred rounds, which constituted their daily task, A close observer has definitely established the fact that magpies and rooks cannot count further than four. A rook never returns to Its nest until it is quite satisfied that there is no danger near. When four hunters or less departed in succession from a nearby log cabin the rook would return to its nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and returned to its nest even while some were still in the but. Similarly apes do not count further than four, and the Boers of the Transvaal when they want to hunt these animals bide In numbers exceeding four. Four depart in succession in such a manner as to be noticed by the apes, who then come forth and are easily captured. Chicago News.

FIRST PRINTER'S DEVIL He Was a Young Negro Slave Employed by Aldus Manutiua, Aldus Manutlus, who in 14SS set up his office in Venice, has long been famous as the first of the publishers of the famous Aldine classics, which today are so highly prized by book collectors, lie was the author of a Latin grammar, a Greek dictionary and a treatise on the metrical methods of the poet Horace and originated the form of type known by us as Italic and by German printers as "cursive" type. He is also said to be responsible for the name of "printer's devil,' almost worldwide in its application to the youngest boy in the office. A young negro slave employed in his oSce who was so very black and dirty that his natural ugliness had become an almost fiendish expression became feared and known all over Venice as "the little black devil," and Manutlus at last realized that the boy and himself had dangerously awakened the superstitious fears and dislike of the more ignorant Venetians. He accordingly formally exhibited him during a whole day on the public streets and had the criers make this proclamation throughout the city: "I, Aldus Manutlus, printer to the holy church and the doge, have this day made public exposure of the printer's devil. All who think be is not flesh and blood may como and prick him." Charles Wlnslow Hall in National Magazine.
