City eart to Heart ir Talks MOm A CHEAT INVENTION WAS BORN. George Stephenson was an enginswrlgbt la an English colliery. Not a very lofty situation, was it, UUs engmemsui in a coal mine? Yet Stephenson made it a fulcrum from which to move the world. This was how he did It: His port was nine miles distant from the mine. tram road ran between, the can being hauled by horses or mules. Stephenson said be could make a steam engine that would do the work. Others poohpoobed and sneered In the blind way that ignorance and stupidity Jeer at genius. In two years Stephenson completed his engine, and it worked. The result was the locomotive and the inauguration of a new age m the world's transportation. No one can measure the Influence of the railroad on human progress, yet it was started by a bumble man In a lowly station. This man had an idea and applied it to the immediate task he had in hand. He used the materials about him. Despite doubts and ridicule be remained loyal to the light given him. Today he is among the immortals. It was exactly 100 years ago that George Stephenson was building bis engine at the Killlngworth colliery. The Succeeding century has seen the most wonderful progress in the world's history, and to this the poor enginewrlghfs Idea has perhaps been the chief contributor. Such has been the history of prac tically all great Inventions. They have been made by poor men who bad to combat the unbelief of their fellows. The steamboat, the telegraph, the telephone and the aeroplane are cases In point They were designed by thinkers who had greater regard for their own ideas than for the hootings of those who did not understand. These inventors followed the inner light rather than the outer darkness. They had vision. They possessed the Individual initiative to start, the energy to continue and the perseverance to carry through a great vndertaking. They were that rarest and highest banian combination practical idealists. They were benefactors, who have made this a new and better world. Another Dog. Griggs Lost money In that stock deal, did yon?

TftS Unexpected Happened Whew the Englishman Fired. Among the less knows writers of the nineteenth century was Samuel Rogers. Us kept open house and frequently entertained Dickens, Macaulay, Carlyle and other celebrities of the time. Bogers was a notable wit, bat unfortunately his thrusts were not always tempered with kiuduess. Irving iu letter says: "1 dined tete-a-tete with him some time since, and be serv ed up his friends as be served up his fish with a squeeze of lemon over each, it was very piquant but it set my teeth on edge." This same caustic flavor of his wit is shown in a story be was foud of telling to the discredit of French valor. An - Englishman and a Frenchman had got Into a wordy squabble, which led to mutual Insults aud a challenge Nothing could save the honor of either of them but a dual. But duets were cot fought to kill Even serious wounds were unpleasant and a mere scratch would answer the purpose much better. So that the antagonists might have a better chance of missing on another tbey repaired to a dark room. AH was In readiness. The signal was given The Englishman, no less esger to preserve his foe than himself, groped to the open fireplace. He pointed bis pistol up the chimney and fired. "And. by Jove." Rogers was wont to exclaim. he brought down the FrenohMMa?'YQath's Companion.

Keegan Breaks With the Gang. Eight hours work per day for men. Ten hours work per day for women. The latter edict has just been handed down by the Democratic machine leaders of the lower house of the Indiana legislature. The former law has been in effect some years. What a howling farce have these Taggart grey wolves, masquerading in

Progressive sheepskins, been playing. The Palladium called attention yesterday to the fact that the so-called progressiveness of the Democratic majority in the assembly was a pure, unadulterated sham and that Taggart and his tools were now engaged in that more or less easy task of pulling the wool over the people's eyes. A small amount of progressive legislation will percolate through the legislature before it adjourns, but a brutal massacre is in store for a great majority of the measures that are earnest

- - - e ' as the Keegan eight-hour day for women measure. Many large department stores, factories and other businesses which employ women, fought the Keegan bill desperately, and that they did effective work is evidenced by the fate the bill met with in the house yesterday amended so that a ten hour maximum was substituted for eight hours. As ten hours per day very nearly approaches the limit of labor required of any woman up to the present time, it can be readily comprehended how generous the house of representatives has been in its treatment of women toilers. Representative Keegan, disgusted and in open revolt against the gangsters who dominate the legislature, has resigned, and he is to be congratulated for his action, for it gives more weight to his protest against our present system of misgovernment. Representative Keegan was a valuable man to his party, for he is more intelligent than the average politician to whose tender care we have intrusted the affairs of state. It was Keegan who was detailed in the last campaign to line up the labor vote, for Keegan is a prominent labor union man. The work assigned to

him was performed in a most satisfactory manner as attested to by the Democratic majority in this state last November, but as a reward for his services the first act of the Taggart machine is to break one of the promises Keegan made on behalf of his party to the union labor voters. Being conscientious, Mr. Keegan retires from the assembly, and in doing so makes a statement which it would be well for the Taggart crowd to heed, but which will be ignored, because, as previously stated, Keegan is more intelligent than those Democrats who control the destinies of their party, and, unfortunately, the government of Indiana. Here is the valuable but wasted tip of Keegan to the gang: "The Progressive parti v nwps all its RT.rrtcth

, . legislation. From a political standpoint the Democratic party ;

cannot afford not to support progressive legislation." I

Cruel Rsvengs That Has the Sanction of Immemorial Custom. The shark s Jaws are pried open to the fullest extent A stout eight foot spar of tough timber, 4 by 4 inches in cross measurement, is fixed transversely far back in the angle of the Jaw, the ends projecting on either side. A strong rope leading from the ends of the asar Is drawn close and tightened with a clove bitch round the fish's tall behind the wide tall flukes. It is thus the sailor harnesses bis enemy. The clamp of the cruel Jaws drives the two inch long teeth deep into the tough spar. The tight line holds it in place, and, struggle as he may, the shark falls to move the spar an inch from Its position. As a finishing touch the sailor drew his knife blade across the shark's eyeballs and let him go. Bitted and bridled, blinded, with Jaws wide gaping, he swam through a limitless sea in never ending fatuous circles. The queer furnishings he bore scared away others of his kind. Lonely and silent he passed like Cain among the fishes till starvation and sheer misery ended his existence. Cruel? Of course it was. But surely, like the venomous snake, the shark has long put himself beyond the pale of human mercy. Soft hearted as he usually is, the sailor man has a long memory. The shark has followed for weeks in the shadow of his ship and has watched each man of the crew with greedy, malevolent eye. There is a heavy debt against ail the snark

tribe for many a lost mariner. andMLJe "bbed themselves of sleep

when the chance comes to settle old scores the sailor pays it to the full. Besides, the thing has the sanction of Immemorial custom. It was some eid Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to the far Cassitorides, who probably first put the trick In practice Wide World Magazine.

This peculiar, word is frequently ! found in Scandinavian communities as the name of a newspaper, such as St Cloud Budstikken. It is a Norwegian word. 1.200 years old at the least and has a very peculiar origin. In those days, when the coasts of Norway were ravaged by pirates, the Inhabitants bad to resort to ail sorts of devices to warn those at a distance of the approach of these piratical craft When one was seen on the boiizon a man went up to the top of a mountain, where he lighted a beacon Are This could be seen for a long distance and was known to be a warning When It was seen in the distance another fire was lighted on another hill until all over the country flres blaKl from every hilltop and the people prepared to defend themselves. Tbey also bad a system of messengers. The man who Brst sighted the sail would take an arrow and send it to bis neighbors. From town to town thin arrow was sent until all were warneL TheBe wfre ratner prlmlUTe ways of telegraphing, but were so effectuai that tn the course of twentyronr boura nil Norway knew or the approach of pirates. This system of spreading the news was called "budstikken." and when there were no more pirates the newspapers became spreaders of the news and so were appropriately styied "bud sUkken." Exchange. WESTMINSTER HALL. Its Bargain Counters, State Trials and ' Coronation Banquets. Westminster ball, whose old gray walls have seen coronation banquets and state trials, used to echo with the bargains driven at shops or stalls which at one time fringed its walls like a modern bazaar.

The rents and profits went by right to the warden of the fleet An engraving of the busy scene was made by Mosely and prints taken therefrom by Gravelot before 1773 showing bowIn hall of Westminster Sleek sempstress vends amidst the oourts her ware.

PRINTING IN CHINA.

Often No Presses Are Used, Pair mt Brushes Doing the Werk. The Chinese assert that the art mt printing was discovered in China about fifty years before the Christian era. Until the discovery of the art of papermaklng, A. D. 96. they' printed on silk or cloth cut in the form of leaves. The method employed to this day by many native Chinese printers is aa follows: No printing press ta used. The detl cste nature of the Chinese paper would not admit of it- When the blocks are engraved, the paper cut and the Ink ready one man with bis brush will print a large number of sheets tn a day. The block to be printed must be placed perfectly level and secured (Irmly The printer has two brushes, one of them stlffer than the other, which be can bold in his hand and use at either end. Be dips It into the ink and rubs the block with it, taking care not to moisten it too much or leave it too dry. If it were wetted too much the characters would be blurred; If too tittle, tbey would not print When once the block is got into the proper condition be csn print three or four lmpreMions without dipping his brush into the ink again. The second brush is used to rub over the paper with a small degree of pressure, that It may take the impression. i This it does easily, for. not being sized with alum, it receives the ink the instant it comes in contact with it It is only necessary that the brush should be passed over every part of the sheet with a greater or smaller degree of i pressure and repeated in proportion as the printer finds there Is more or less ink upon the block. Harper's Weekly. When Trousers Were Scarce. Trousers were banned among Quakers until the nineteenth century was halfway throujrb. A correspondent of the London Notes and Queries writes on Feb. 2. 180fi. that "In our retired northern dales the Quakers tenaciously hoid by their breeches as a testimony against the modern vanity of trousers. I often beard my father, who could not endure the idea of trousers 'slutthering about his legs. say that when be was a boy all the male population from three years old and upward, except sailors, wore cocked bats and knee breeches and that if a man was seen in trousers he was at once set down as a mariner."
