ion is without.
Stephen S. Gregory, speaking upon
the samo subject, said:
If it Is tme that John Marshall was
bom to be the chief justice of any na-
tlon of whieii he was a citizen; ' Thomas

committee of conrress for a plan of
temporary government for the west-
era territory-. In JLafter providing for
the creation of state out of. this ter-
ritory. was contained the provision:
That after the-year IS00 of the Chris-
nan era mere snail ue neuner slavery
nor involuntary servitude Vany of the
said states, otherwise than in the pun
lshment of crimes whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted to have
been personally guilty.' -
"Scm? of Jefferson's ptty critics
seem to have been almost as much im
pressed with the rather fantastic no
menclature surest?! by iim in .re
spect to the states thus contemplated
as by this noble and statesmanlike
prcviiloa In fivo;- jf burc.an liberty.
To this on clausfe more than to any
other single thing wc owe the fact that
this did not become a slavcholding na
tion. That a public man from Vir
ginia, the stronghold of slavery, should
have secured such a bar to that insti
tution in this imperial domain singles
him out as occ of those rare spirits
who, rising above the trammels of
place and time, can grasp eternal truth
and with commanding view survey the
mighty perspective of a nation's fu
ture. Upon the same occasion. Sigmund
Zeisler said: .
lf I weie asked to name the man
who. above all other men put In con
spicuous places of power, shone by
the. purity and loftiness of his ideals,
my answer would unhesitatingly be:
Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson did not
claim that all men were equal equal
la their right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Circumstances
may arise which may justly deprive
men of these rights. In tho race for
the attainment of happiness some may
outrun others. Dut there must be
fair play. Opportunities must be equal
to all. To secure such fair play, guar
antee to all equality of opportunity, to
protect each against the encroachment
of others, and to protect all against in
terference by outsiders, governments
are Instituted. All these high stand
ards of a government's perfection and
duty were not only philosophically
thought out by Jefferson, but stead
fastly adhered to in his every act
throughout his long career as a pub
lic servant."
It appears that the organization of
Hamilton clubs is to receive a new
Impetus and tht most of the Mark
llanna clubs will be so nzmed in the
next campaign. The men who join
them for the most part have not the
faintest Idea of what Hamilton or Jef
ferson stood for. They simply do what
the bosses direct them to do. Never
theless the organization of Hamilton
clubs can mean nothing else than the
overthrow of the government as it has
existed from the beginning and the es
tablishment of another form of govern
ment In Its place that shall be run al
together on another plan. Republi
canism' as understood and taught by
Lincoln was simply the doctrines of
Jefferson and the very atipodes of
Hamiltonism. The party that elected
Jefferson was called the republican
party and Lincoln was that same sort
of a republican. These McKinley M-
lows have become the followers of
Hamilton.

a sign -of good family, and that big
ears are a disfigurement as well as a
sign of low birth and stupidity. This
is Indeed a baseless superstition. Men
and women alike have ears that match,
their, noees. It is not blood, but na
ture which makes big ears. The way
to learn whether you have ears of the
proper proportion is to take a meas
urement from the" extreme top of the
ear to , the bottom of the lobe. This
measurement should be - exactly the
same as that of the nose, taken from
the-top, where ' it joins the forehead,
exactly between the. eyebrows, to the
bottom where the inner wall dividing
the nostrils meets the upper Hp. When
the ears are wide' at the base of tha
opening they show a power of appre
ciating differences in. sound. Sir John
Stainer has the. true com poser's ear,
and the square shape is identical with
the form of Mozart's ears in his best
portraits. When the toj of the. ear
is' straight Uhere is a kind of inde
pendence of character often found
among travelers. , The . very high
pointed form of the top of the pinna
or outer ear seems to go with an
artistic nature. A peculiar form of the
helix or outer rim of the ear is found
in the ears of Charles Dickens. This
with other signs is . taken . to denote
that the novelist's power of attention
habitually tried to leave off In the mid
dle of a subject a suggestion borne
out by an examination of the Dickens
MSS. The shape of the left ear indi

the faculty of swaying masses of peo

There are some of us who at times
become weary, t despondent, blase or
tired by reason of the treadmill, the
disappointments, the pleasure or the
routine of existence, and who, in the
petulance of the moment, express a
distaste for living any longer, but as a
rule .most of '.the, vast', majority of hu
mans, including the dissatisfied ones, if
confronted with a chance to shuffle off
without pain or without crime would
say: ."Hold on; there are a few more
things in this continuous show we
would like to see before making our
exit." The poverty-stricken one' would
like to see the part of , the play that
shows him how to get rich, the sick
how to get well, the lean how to, be
come, corpulent, the ugly how to be
come ' good-looking and the bald-headed
how to grow t hair. It is a case of
"man never is, but always to be. blest."

read about as "having experienced life

the state Jacques describes in the

are not yet sanB curiosity. They want
to ride in an airship to some far-away
country and back; they want to get
a message by wireless telegraphy from
across the Atlantic; they want to wait
and find out who will be the . 'next
president. There is so much doing
these days that most of us are averse
to letting go our hold. . This is not so
much because, lif e. is worth living, per
haps, as because we are afraid some
thing new, strange and startling will
happen and we won't be on deck to
experience the thrill of a novel sensa

Oat a Woman's
Every man .seems to be born with, a
desire to know the age of ladies with
whom he comes in contact. Women
also appear to have an innate curiosity
concerning the number of - "Summers"
which have passed over the heads of
their female friends. But there is noth
ing more difficulty to discover than the
exact age of a woman who' wishes to
keep the fact a secret. Now, here Is
a little scheme which a mathematician
has just discovered to find out the age
of any person. Having engaged that
person in pleasant conversation, you
proceed something after the following
manner speaking very innocently, of
course: "There is a very simple prob
lem in arithmetic which very few peo
ple are able to see through, yet it ie
as easy as possible. I wonder if you
can do itV This sets the woman on
her dignity, and she wants to do it at
once. "Think of a number correspond
ing, to the numerical order . of - the
month In which you were born. , Oh,
no, you need not tell me." (To make
the explanation , clear, we will asaume
that the figure Is 2 standing for Feb
ruary and that the age Is thirty.)
"Now multiply that figure by 2," you
continue, "and -add 5, Done that?
Well, multiply that s by 60, and add
your own age. From the total subtract
365, and to the result, add 115. Now
what figure have you got?" "230,"
replies the person addressed. "Isn't
that correct?" "Exact!" you exclaim.
"You are' one of the very few persons
who have managed it." And you turn
away to hide your smile of satisfac
tion at having discovered that your
victim was born in February, and that
she is thirty years of age. You have
arrived at this result by separating the
figures 230 in 2 (February) and 30.
And you can do this with everyhody's
age. Try it on your sweetheart.

HIGH ELECTRICAL PRESSURES.
A Kw CaUforaU Plant Vhtcn Will Em
ploy 60.000 Tolta.
Until very recently it was not deemed
safe to transmit power in the form, of
electricity, at' a greater pressure than
10,000 or 15,000 volts. Between Niag
ara and Buffalo a voltage of 11,000 Is
now employed, but this will be doubled
before many weeks. v The pressure on
the - Folsom-Sacramento ." line in " Cali
fornia' is "11,000 volts. A line In Colo
rado which operates machinery In
mines near Canyon City v transmits its
current at 20,000 volts. The two mst
remarkable transmission plants in
this country, and probably in the
world, in point of voltage, are those at
Telluride, Col., and the line from San
Bernardino to Los Angeles, Cal. The
former is short, but carries the cur
rent . at 40,000 volts. This pressure
was adopted as a regular thing after
a series of tests in which a voltage of
50,000 was successfully sustained for
thirty-seven consecutive days. The
San Bernardino line though, while
worked at only 33,000 volts,, is eighty
three miles long and carries no less
than 10,000 horse ; power. On - the
f whole, electricians regard it the bold
est achievement, in electrical transmis
sion yet recorded." Within the next
few months an even more notable suc
cess .will probably : be announced from
California." A ' corporation which; now
controls, several power houses and Is
supplying currents to; towns and min
ing districts in Yuba and Nevada count
ties . has ' nearly . completed a line to
Oakland and San Francisco that .will
be? 140 miles in length. On some of its
existing lines the company is trans
mitting at 16,000 to :24,000 volts. But
the transformers will be capable of
giving 40,000, 50,000 and 601000 on the
Oakland route. - Operations will begin
at 40,000 volts, and the higher press
ure will be resorted to as soon as the
losses which result from an increasing
"load" exceed 10 per cent. The line is
being constructed with a view, to
standing 60,000 volts regularly. New

Take Notice that. Ponca's breeding is gilt-edged, ts4 composed of the highest type of the

ers. " His success as a producer of the very best type of the road horse is phenomenal. - He ties

intending to breed their mares, can make arrangements with J. M. Rice, 1010 O 8t., Liacolxt,

mand, 'but it is at least ten times as
great as anybody in this country would
thinks of presenting any. nation that
was not a helpless nation. We ven
ture to say that for all the damage the
United States or its citizens have suf
fered in China, the United States would
not dare to (demand of any other na
tion than China more than $2,500,000
at any: rate we would not dare to en
force such a demand. - The total num
ber of officers and enlisted. men of our
army, killed in China, last year, was
thirty-two, ' and sixty-three other
deaths resulted. The number - of
wounded was 177. . Thus the largest
possible number on the casualty list is
272. If our- government could collect
from China $10,000 for each man killed
and wounded, the amount would be
$2,720,000. The losses of the mission
aries cannot at the outside be expand
ed into more than $500,000. It is said
that the cost of our expedition must
be paid for by China, The truth must
be that $10,000,000 would be an enor
mous sum for China to pay us for what
happened last . year; Fifty millions
would be a n ample sum to reimburse
all the ; nations, - and yet .the prospect
is that the Chinese will be asked to pny
