WHY -
Manx Cat It Only One of the
Family With No Tail.
Why the Manx cat, alone of all
members of the cat tribe. Is deprived
of a tall Is often discussed. This Im
portant appendage Is very necessary
to cats—adding dignity to their car
riage. allowing for greater expression
In a display of temperament. A vio
lent wagging that denotes anger or ex
citement is rash to Ignore, while a
gentle tapping movement shows that
all Is at peace with the world.
Many theories have been put for
ward to account for the missing tnIL
One Is thnt these cats were Import
ed from the orient In the earlier cen
turies, ns cats of this description have
been found In Japan and China. An
other Is that Noah shut the door of
the Ark as the Manx cat was passing
through, and so it lost its tail forever.
Whatever the reason, the Manx cat Is
a freak breed with slightly longer hind
legs than front, which makes It a
high rear model of a cat. They are
smaller than the ordinary short haired
breeds, with rather longer hair, the
texture approaching thnt of rabbit fur.

Why Type of Woman Is
Referred to as “Harpy”
The word harpy comes from Greek
mythology, in an account of the ad
ventures of Aeneas and his band of
refugees from their sacked city of
Troy, when the wanderers landed their
ship on the island of the harpies:
The daughters of the earth and sea.
The dreadtul snatchers, who like wom
en were
Down to the breast, with scanty
coarse black hair
About their heads, and dim eyes
rinsed with red,
And bestial mouths set round with
Ups of lead.
But from their gnarled necks there
began to spring
Half hair, half feathers, and a sweep
ing wing
Grew out Instead of arm on either elde.
It Is doubtless from the circum
stance thnt the harpies were sent by
the gods on errands of vengeance that
their name cnme to be applied to a
woman of cruel, malicious or revenge
ful nature.
Why Turkeys Are Bald
Have you ever wondered why the
turkey looks bald and seems to have
blisters on his head? There Is an
old legend among the Indians of North
America, the original home of tlia
bird, to account for this. They say
that at the beginning of one winter
the fire of the world had all been ex
tinguished except one tiny spark In
the hollow of a tree. And It was dy
ing. It would have gone out If the
turkey hadn’t kept It alive by fan
ning It with Its wings. As the heat
increased all the feathers were singed
off his head, but he kept on fanning
—and so gave Are buck to the world.
So the turkey’s bald head and “blis
ters” are really a badge of honor.—
Answers Magazine.
Why It Is Called "Parson Bird”
A small black bird, one of the honey
eaters of New Zealand and Australia,
is called the parson bird because of
two prominent globulnr lappets of
white feathers on each side of Its
throat which resemble the white lawn
“bands” of a Church of England
clergyman. In action, however, this
little bird more nearly resembles a
circus clown than a dignified clergy
man. for It delights in turning somer
saults and performing other remark
able antics while flying. It is popular
as a cage bird because of Its beauti
ful singing and Its great powers of
mimicry.
Why Japanese Are Excluded
Japanese and oilier non-white Im
migrants are excluded because they do
not become assimilated, but retain
their national and racial character
istics rather than become Americans;
and because their low standard of liv
ing tends to reduce the common level
of Americnn living. If Japanese will
work 14 hours a day for 75 cents the
wages of all workers will tend to be
reduced to thnt level. This situation
was becoming serious on the Pacific
const at the time the exclusion law
was passed.—Pathfinder Mngazine.

SILVER
Some Pertinent Facts Relating
To Bimetallism.
By William A. Hesse.
(Second Installment)
History confirms the state
ment of Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher, who said
300 years before Christ that,
“Money by itself has no value,
only by-law and not by nat
ure.”
If William Jennings Bryan’s
position on the question of bi
metallism was untenable, if
those who followed him on that
proposition were likewise mis
guided, let us examine history
and see where some of the
other illustrious Americans
stood on that subject.
Thomas Jefferson at first
wanted silver as the basis of
monetary value for he said
that he believed that silver
was less liable to fluctuation
than gold since it represented
the money of by far the largest
group of .mankind. But Alex
ander Hamilton, the greatest fi
nancial genius of his time,
pointed out reasons for believ
ing that silver and gold should
constitute the m'oney base and
Jefferson became convinced
and yielded.
Listen to what Hamilton had
to say about the matter: “To
annul the use of either metal is
to abridge the quantity of the
circulating medium and is li
aible to all the objections which
arise from a comparison of the
benelits ot a tun with the evils
of a scanty circulation.”
Daniel Webster was never
accredited with being a fanat
ic and this is what he said: ‘‘11
am certainly iof the opinion
that gold and silver at the rates
fixed by Congress constitute
the legal standard of value of
this country and that neither
Congress nor any state has the
authority to establish any other
value or to displace this stand
ard.”
Hon. John G. Carlisle, one of
the most brilliant men of his
time, said: “I know that the
native ooriv in wnXvT. or ft icsct ct
considerable depth. Its eyes will be
close to the top of the head, looking
upward. In roost species the eyes are
so situated on the sides of the head
that only one eye can be used at a
time for viewing an object. But those
species that have to pursue their prey
at great speed are able to look for
ward with both eyes.
Why Few Canadian Banks Fail
There are several reasons why Can
ada has fewer bank failures than the
United States. In the first place, Can
ada has fewer banks; one bank with
numerous branches controlling over
27 per cent of the Dominion’s banking
resources, while three banks, with
2.G00 branches, control 70 per cent.
Canada does not have the special gov
ernment control found In the United
States.
Why Throne Heir Called Dauphin
It was originally the appellation of
. the lords of the Province of Dau
'phlne. The last ot these, dying child
less, bequeathed tds possessions to the
grandson of I’hillppe VI of France, on
condition that the heir apparent to
the throne should bear the title of
Dauphin of Vienne and govern the
province.
I world’s stock of precious met*
j als is none too large, and I see
I no reason to apprehend that it
will ever become so. Mankind
will be fortunate indeed if the
annual production of gold and
diver keep pace with the annu
al increase in population, com
merce and industry. Accord
ing to my view of the subject,
the conspiracy to demonetize
silver which seems to have
been formed here and in
Europe to destroy, by legislat
ion and otherwise, from three
sevenths to one-half of the met
allic money of the world is the
most gigantic crime of this or
any other age. The consum
mation of such a scheme would
entail more misery upon the
human race than all the wars,
pestilence and famine that ever
occurred in the history of the
world. The absolute and in
tantaneous destruction of half
of the movable property of the
world, including houses, ships,
railroads and other appliances
'or carrying on commerce,
while it would be felt more
sensibly at the moment, would
not produce anything like the
prolonged distress and disor
ganization of society that must
nevitably result from the per
manent annihilation of half of
;he metallic money or the
World.”
No one would say that the
clear-thinking James G. Blaine
was a crank and this is what he
had to say about the dernone
.ization of silver: “On the
much-vexed and long mooted
Question of a bimetallic or a
monometallic standard, m y
own views are sufficiently indi
cated in the remarks that I
have made. I believe that the
druggie now going on in this
country and in other countries
for a single standard would, if
successful, produce widespread
disaster in and throughout the
commercial world. The de
struction of silver as money and
establishing gold as the sole
unit of value, must have a ruin
ous effect on all forms of prop
erty except those investments
which yield a fixed return in
money. These would be enor
mously enhanced in value, and
would gain a disproportionate
and unfair advantage over
every other species of proper
ty. I believe gold and silver
coin to be the money oif the
Constitution, indeed the money
cf the American people anter
ior to the Constitution which
the great organic law recog
nized as quite independent of
its own existence. No power
was conferred upon Congress
to declare that either metal
should not be money. Congress
has, therefore, in my judge
ment, no more power to de
monetize either, any m’ore than
to demonetize both.
If therefore silver has been de
monetized, I am in favor of re
monetizing it. If its coinage
has been prohibited, I am in
favor of having it resumed. If
it has been restricted, I am in
favor of having it enlarged.”
