The Wheel. It is seldom that any of us appreciate the importance of the commonest things about us. We wonder at the phonograph and the telegraph and marvel at the X-Ray, but simple devices which have been in use for centuries are, when we stop to think of it, much more wonderful. The importance of so familiar a contrivance as the wheel is very clearly expressed in the following paragraph clipped from a London paper: The hostory of the evolution of locomotion as well as an Infinity of other studies of the keenest Interest could all be centered in the wheel. Without whels we should have no watches, no steering at sea. We should be unable to utilize the waterfalls as motor force, nor should we have hundreds of other things of the utmost attraction and utility. All our modern civilization has come to us on wheels. All we know about other countries, all the commerce we have established throughout the world and our means of wealth we owe to the wheel. It is difficult to imagine what the world would come to if suddenly all wheels vanished from our midst. No war, no famine, no revolution could be one-hundredth part as effectual in putting us back centuries as the lack of wheels. The romance of wheels has gone, never to return egain. Wheels are now looked upon merely as accessories, whirling indifferently, faster and faster, but practically ignored.

"Born Criminals." In this day when so much is being said and written about crime and the causes of crime and when so many theories of one kind or another are being advanced to account for it, the utterance of such a psychological authority as H. Addington Eruce is well worthy of attention. In an article appearing in the current number of Century Magazine he gives special attention to the Lombroso theory of the "born criminal." What he thinks of this theory is shown by the following paragraph : It is to be wondered, in view of such a showing, that most authorities are inclining more and more to find in a faulty environment rather than in a bad heredity the explanation of the boy who goes wrong? Not that it is as yet possible, and perhaps it never will be possible, to lule out entirely the idea of the "born criminal." A small proportion of delinquents unquestionably do show almost from infancy an irresistible and seemingly instinctive impulse to evil; but to just what extent this is actually due to inherited and irremediable conditions remains to be ascertained. Medical progress, in fact, is constantly making it clearer that many supposed instances of "innate depravity" are in reality the result of curable physical defects, and sometimes of defects that are comparatively slight.

Confucious on the Ascendant Word comes from China that Yuan Shih-Kai, through his administrative council, has passed a law making Confucianism the prescribed religion of China. According to the edict, the Governor and his assistants are to worship once a year in the Temple of Heaven and the code of ethics and the religious principles as taught by the old sage of Kong 2,500 years ago have been made compulsory on citizens of the erstwhile "Flowery Kingdom." Inasmuch as the constitution adopted by the Chinese Republic guaranteed religious freedom to every man and woman living within its boundaries and since China has entered into a number of treaties with other countries in which liberty of faith was guaranteed, this recent action of the administrative council comes with a shock of surprise to all those who have been watching with confidence and expectancy the development of free government in that great nation. But those who have been familiar with the inner political changes of the last two or three .rears and especially those who know something of the character and career of the so-called President, Yuan Shih-Kai, are not so much surprised. This is just such an action as a man like Yuan might be expected to do. It seems that Yuan Shih-Kai is "a man who would be king." Foreign consuls and representatives at Pekin have come to call him the "Napoleon of China." He styles himself the "Washington of China." But his actions have given the lie to his words. Yuan was a protege of Li Hung-Chang. Like so many' Chinamen of his class, he was sensual, arrogant, dictatorial and very cruel. Judged by our standards, his character was most dissipated and lascivious. Mercy was left out of his vocabulary. Spite of these moral deficiencies, he has always been a man of great political power and with a Yankee kind of ingenuity in dealing with perplexing situations. Once while governor of a southern province, a delegation of Boxers called on him and solicited his support for their movement. They made much of certain charms which they carried about their neck for which they claimed the power of stopping bullets. Without

the Boxers file into a rear court and line themselves up along a wall. Suddenly he had a group of soldiers march out and shoot every Boxer where he stood. "There," exclaimed Yuan, "that s-hows how bullet proof their charms are." At the death of Li Hung-Chang, the only real statesman was lost in China. Yuan Shih-Kai was immediately called in to take his place but lound himself in a midst of a tottering and decrepit court, vacant of power. After the death of the Emperor and the Empress, he was ousted irom his place by an unfriendly clique and com

pelled to give up all his offices. According to the edict, Yuan was made to suffer from a "rheumatic" leg which incapacitated him to serve. It was not long, however, before he was recalled and placed in charge of the court. His plan was to re-organize the Manchu dynasty and put it once more on its seat. But he discovered that republicanism had made such strides that this could not be possible. His coffers were empty, his supporters were fools and idiots and his. army was demoralized. So he quietly turned about, in wily Chinese fashion, and by means of a number of intrigues and plots, had the whole monarchical system thrown overboard. It was into his hands that the surrendering ?vfanchus placed their writ of abdication and it was on his shoulders that responsibility was placed for the organization of a republic government in China. But the Southern provinces did not like Yuan Shih-Kai. They dreaded his arbitrariness and his dictatorial power. They did not approve of the way in which he disbanded the Chinece Congress and gathered all the reigns of government into his own hands. Therefore, during the past few months, China has been torn asunder by a civil war very similar to our own and fought out on the same principle of State Right versus Federal Right. But Yuan Shih-Kai is no Abraham I dncoln. His people are not intelligent Americans. And he is finding himself day by day driven to become more and more despotic until now, by this most recent arbitrary dictum, he tacitly declares himself Emperor of the Chinese. t i l xl i.

STOCKS DROP BACK AS MOUTH CLOSES Proposed Federal Law Creates Element of New Distrust.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. The Btock market has been indulging In a reaction following the rapid rise of the first three weeks of January. This was hardly unexpected, and was partly due to prudential reasons, partly because good news had been liberally discounted and partly because of a fresh series of uncertainties cropping to the surface. Prudential reasons suggested profit taking on stocks which had risen five to ten points an dover. The cheerfulness inspired by President Wilson's temperate attitude on anti-trust legislation also seemed to have been amply discounted for the time being; and some of the newly proposed legislation was sufficiently threatening to subdue unreasonable enthusiasm. One other fresh element of distrust was a realization of the somewhat unfriendly relations of the United States with many other important nations, brought on chiefly by inconsideratelegislation or diplomacy in the past. For one reason or another, we have invited strained relations with Germany, France, England, Russia and Japan not to speak of Mexico and some of the South American republics. k It is satisfactory to observe that the president is endeavoring to support the Hay-Paunceforte treaty as a matter of national honor; but the report that the government will withdraw its embargo upon shipments of arms to Mexico added to the feeling of distrust, inasmuch as it will stimulate rebel activity and may precipitate a new crisis in Mexico. These are the factors which brought on a reaction in the stock market. None of them is serious or beyond solution, nevertheless they were of sufficient importance to check the upward movement and force general realizing.

Carnation Day Founder Held in Lincoln's Arms

The fame of Lewis O. Reynolds of Richmond, creator of Carnation day. has been heralded in many newspapers recently, but the Cincinnati times Star gives him another distinction that he probably is the only man living whom Abraham Lincoln held in his arms as a baby. The following is an excerpt from the Times-Star of Saturday when Mr. Reynolds was attending the motion picture operators convention in Cincinnati, representing the Luna Light Screene company which he and two other men recently established in Richmond: "It was known to but one or 'two persons at the convention of moving picture operators at Sinton, this week, that Lewis G. Reynolds of Richmond, Ind., who was attending the meetings, is the creator of the Carnation Day idea, which has for its object commemoration of the birthday of William McKinley, martyred president. Thursday was Carnation Day, but Mr. Reynolds refrained from making known his identity. "Reynolds formerly lived at Dayton, O. There he served for ten years on

the Board of Education. He was in Buffalo, N. Y., on September 14, 1902. Just a year after the death of President McKinley. Without any idea of starting a custom, he bought a carnation, placed a small black ribbon around it and wore it. Many persons asked about the flower and ribbon. Then they bought carnations and wore them. The thought came to Reynolds that this might be a good method of commemorating the memory of the dead President. So he suKssted it to Senator Mark Hannah. The senator suggested that the carnations be worn on the birthday of President McKinley rather than on the anniversary of his death. The Carnation league of America was shortly afterwards organized. "Mr. Reynolds has another distinction. He is probably the only living man who was held in the arms of President Lincoln. The father of Reynolds was a department chief at Washington, when he called upon the President, he took his son with him. During the interview President Lincoln held the lad in bis arms and parted him on the head."

Eat less meat and take Salts for Backache or Bladder trouble Neutralizes acids. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to -seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. TCat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of .Tad Salts; take a tablesponful in a glass of water before breakfast for a fe wdays and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Iithia. and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activitv, also to neutralize the

, acids in urine, so it no longer is a I source of irritation, thus ending blad
