WHERE FROGS ARE CHICKENS
Tariff Laws ©f the United States Say
They Are Same and Alike "in
Three Counts."
To one not versed In tariff law, or
familiar with the devious and tortu
*ns channels of reasoning followed
only by customs legal luminaries, some
of the decisions at first appear to be
rather odd. Frogs have become chick
ens for tariff purposes, venison has
been held to he beef and live snatla
have soberly been decided to be Donenu
inerated unmanufactured articles, re
marks the San Francisco Chronicle.
Reason begins to totter on Its throne
and completely tumbles off when one
learns that a firebrick weighing under
five pounds Is a firebrick weighing over
five pounds. Reason, however, can pick
up its scepter and climb back to Its
easy clmir with a sigh of relief after
reading a wonderful paragraph In the
law known as the similitude clause.
If an article Is not provided for, either
by name or material, and has one of
four characteristics of an article that
Is provided for, It takes the same rate
of duty. If the homeless article re
sembles any other article either In
material, quality, texture or In use
to which It may he applied It becomes
that article for tariff purposes. Frog
meat Is similar to the white meat of
chicken In three counts, venison scores
on one for the reason that both ven
ison and beef are eaten and firebricks
weighing under five pounds are used
In exactly the same manner as those
weighing over five pounds.
IRELAND UNDER ALIEN RULE
Power of the Danes Broken by Brian
Boru in 1014—Normans Become
Amalgamated.
About 800 A. D., the pagan hosts
of the Northmen and Danes fell on
Ireland with fierce destruction. After
a century of destruction, Irish kings
led their people in a succession of
wars, for the deliverance of their
country, and Brian Rorama, or Brian
Born (926-1014), king of Munster, by
his great victory In the battle of Clon
tarf, on April 23,1014, finally broke the
power of the Danes In Ireland. In
1171 Ireland was Invaded by the Nor
mans from England, in the time of
Henry 11, and Its conquest began. “In
Ireland,” to quote the words of Prof.
Edward A. Freeman (1823-1892) "the
Norman was more purely a conqueror
than anywhi re i Is •, hut In Ireland his
power of n.'.ip ation caused him to
sink in away in which he sank no
where else. While some of the Nor
man settlers in Ireland went to swell
the mass of the English of the Pale,
others threw In their lot with the
native Irish, and became, In the well
known saying, "more Irish than the
Irish themselves.” —Detroit News.
Religion of Good Citizenship.
"In China there existed in the past,
and there are evidence? that it Is com
ing to life again, the religion of good
citizenship,” says a writer in Asia
Magazine. “'lTiat is to say, the Chi
nese theory Is that a man does not
need to feel the need of physical force
to protect himself; he has seldom the
need even to cull In and use the physi
cal force of (lie policeman—of the state
—to protect him. A man In China is
supposed to he protected by the sense
of justice of his neighbor; he is pro
tected by the readiness of his fellow
men to obey the sense of moral obliga
tion. The ideal of Chinese civilization,
therefore. Is that a man can not feel
the need of using physical force to
protect himself because he is sure that
right and justice Is recognized by all
his neighbors as a force higher than
physical force, and that moral obliga
tion as recognized by everybody is
something that must be obeyed.”

'GEMS NOT TRUE TO COLOR
Popular Fallacy to Asc rib* to Proclovs
Stones Hues That May Be
Called Definite.
Story writers talk of the sky being
as blue as a sapphire, or of a wild
beast's eyes glowing as yellow as
topaz.
Most of ns are under the Impression
that we can recognize gems by their
colors, and that certain colors belong
definitely to certain stones.
Quite a mistake. There Is hardly a
precious stone which is always true to
color. Diamonds, of course, vary
greatly. The famous Hope diamond
is a real and most heauf.ul blue.
Green diamonds are found, and oth
ers of a lovely crimson, but these are
very rare. Black diamonds are com
mon enough. *
Black pearls are rarer, but are
found. Pink pearls are greatly prized.
One of the finest in existence was
found in a fresh water mussel in the
Mississippi river and is valued at $15,-
000. Off the Pearl Islands, south of
Panama, pearls are found which are
lead-gray and also green.
Sapphire mines In the Rocky moun
tains produce stones which touch the
whole color scale from blue and red
to an exquisite purple.
In Rhodesia is found a topaz of a
most lovely pale blue. Yet the chem
ical composition of the gem proves it
to be Identical with the yellow topaz.
The colors of most gems are more
or less fugitive. That Is, under cer
tain circumstances they are liable to
fade. Take two rubles exactly similar,
shut one In the dark, and leave the
other exposed to full sunlight, and at
the end of two years there will he a
distinct difference between them. The
one that has been exposed to the light
will be decidedly paler than the other.
Similar results may he observed
with both emeralds and sapphires.
Garnets also will turn lighter, while
In the case of the topaz, sunlight ends
by diminishing and dulling the color
of this stone. —Stray Stories.
DONKEYS FIGURE IN HISTORY
Merit© of Patient Creatures Have
Been Sung by Peeta and Depicted
by Painters.
The "common or garden” donkey Is
one of the most laughed-at animals,
and few of us pause to think what 8
figure this stubborn but patient crea
ture has made in literature, art, and
history. The very first picture ine
visitor to the London National gallery
sees as he enters the building Is a
beautifully painted ass upon which
the Virgin sits with her Infant Son. It
is Holman Hunt’s "Triumph of the In
nocents.” Balaam’s ass has passed
into a proverb of the foolish Instruct
ing the wise! There is, too, the
Golden ass of Apuleius, a romance of
the Second century, Balzac with his
“Ass’s Skin.” Sanelio I’anza with his
adored donkey, and Sterne with that !
dead donkey which he has immortal- i
ized. Then who can forget Robert j
Louis Stevenson’s delightful “Travels j
With a Donkey,” where the donkey is
almost as entertaining as the author?!
There was, too, the famous donkey of
Mafeking, and Halil Bey's donkey
which was shaved of Its ears by a
British shot, and there was Matanza's
mule killed in Cuba—but that was |
only half a donkey! King Midas was |
said to have ass’s ears, and It w as upon
an ass that Mohammed went to para- |
dise to learn the will of Allah. It was j
named A1 Borak (the lightning), so It j
must have been the swiftest ass on ;
record!
Dachshund a Hunting Dog.
The dachshund is a true hound and
Is used for hunting in Europe, espe
cially for getting foxes and other such
animals out of holes, as it is a great
digger, and 11s peculiar build enables
it to go down a relatively small hole.
It has an excellent nose, and will trail
rabbits, foxes and other game with
great tenacity, hut It is little used for
hunting in this country because it is
hard to train and manage, paying little
i attention to orders, and doing as it
pleases. If the game goes to earth. It
is almost impossible to get the dachs
hund away until it lias been dug out.
This breed is of great antiquity, one
of its kind being painted on an Egyp
tian monument of 2000 R. C.
Characterology.
To the layman it may seem an Im
possible task to learn all of the things
disclosed by the many parts of a hu
man being, and yet. through the work
of the men who have made those
things their life study, the fundamen
tal principles of characterology can
j he quickly learned and applied by the
average business or professional man.
| Such a know ledge w ill enable business
men to choose their associates and em
ployees so that natural ability will
! harmonize with work in hand and
every man will possess the precise in
nate capacity which will enable him
to become an expert in the depart
ment to which he is assigned.
Blue of the Sky.
Not one in a hundred persons can
tell why the sky is blue, or why the
sunrise and sunset are red. But any
one can easily demonstrate the work
ing of the “blue sky” law of nature.
Blow a film of smoke iuto a darkened
room and admit the light from one win
dow only. Look at the smoke against
tiie dark background of the room and
' its color is bluish, but look through it
at the light and it appears reddish.
, The interception of the blue rays by
small particles in the atmosphere pro
duces the hlue color. The red rays car
ried in white light jump the gaps be
tween these particles.
