KICKER.
.' ' iiOMi was a kicker, so were many of
i the later prophets, Demosthenes In less
" iemote times and Cicero stUl later were
7 v" vigorous kickers. The whole hlstoay of
the Anglo-Saxon race is a story of kicks
and a Chronicle of the triumphs of vigor
VV " kickers, Ho more formidabte body
-' i " , of kickers than tho Continental Congress
and the signers of the Declaration of In
rinnAndenfte hss the world ever seen.
. -i-
George 11 had no love for these Ameri
can kickers. He had some kickers at
home In Britain, such for instance, as
Charles James Fox, Richard Brlnsley
Sheridan and Edmund Burke, but they
were moderation itself and meekness
compared with the George Washingtons
the Benlamln Franklins, the Patrick
Henrys and the Thomas Jefferaons, en
' ergetle kickers of a vigorous young con
tinent. They never stopped kicking tUl
the throne of George In America top-
: pled over Into the Atlantic. The repub
lic has had the kicker with it ever since
- He hss been often denounced andvitu
peratsd, but time has usually vindicated
the justice of his position. Francis of
Assissi, Savonarola and Luther were all,
in their wav. kickers. They were
, sneered at, tbreatened.punlshed, but the
world has long since come to recognize
their merit and the value of their teach.
Ings.
Society needs the kicker; also doea ev
ery Self-governing community and every
deliberate body. He may be wrong at
limes, his views may embrace and con
elder on ty part of a subject, but If he be
honest and persistent he awakens dls
'-. cusslona, he draws out facts, and so in
the long ran illuminates public problems
In a way (bat Is helpfuL There is a very
"marked difference between the kicker
- and the crank. The latter is simply s
'ttiUfitof negative use only to society
But the Usefulness of the genuine kicker
, Is positive.- Who is It that keeps taxes
from ' soaring too high? The kicker.
Whom do extravagant municipal gov
ernmenta most feaiT The kicker. Whom
doea the boodler and the grafter dread?

There is a pretty prevalent belief that
blotting paper la a modern Invention;
that a hundred years ago It "was un
known, white sand being UBed In its
stead. . ;-" "s.
Blotting paper, as a matter of fact,
was a recognized convenience of -the
writing desk as tar back as J875.:' In
that year there Was issued a book called
Townsenfl'a.Preparative to Pleading,"
a copy of which la In the possession of
a Chicago antiquary and thiSTvolume.
contains on page 8 the following para-graph:-
f- c.v-Vfe-i ;:- " '
"Let the dusting or sanding In books
be avoided rather using fine brown pa
per to prevent blotting if time of the
Ink's drying cannot, be allowed, for
sand takes away the good colorof . the
inkr and," getting into the- backs of
books, makes" them break' their blnd-

;Tbe sand that was' used for blotting
In the past wag, the Chicago antiquary
says, " very clean and white and fine,
and it-Svas called sliver eand. ' Jt was
kept in a cruet with a perforated lldJ
like a salt cruet, and thence It was
sifted over'the wet writing.;; An odd
thing about It was that the ink never
seemed to stain It It could be used
over nnd over and. It remained to the
end as white -as snow.
BATTLE STANDARDS.
Bo Ancient That Their Ve la
Men.
tloned In the Bible.
- The custom of carrying flags or stand.
ards in battle dates back at least to
1490 B. C, We find In Numbers 11, 2,
that "every man of the children of
Israel shall pitch, by his own standard
with the ensign of bis father's house."
Each standard of the twelve tribes thus
distinguished was supposed to have
been of a color to correspond with the
stone In Aaron's . breastplate . which
bore the name of that tribe. TJrider the
generic name banner are included many
species, such as standard, ensign, pennon,-
flag, etc, These have been used
from earliest times and in all countries
to direct movements of troops.
The earliest Roman standard was
a bundle of straw fixed to the top of
a spear.- This was succeeded by fig
ures of animals, such as the horse and
the boar, which soon gave place to the
eagle, the chief Roman ensign, after
ward assumed by the German ' and
French emperors. By every warlike
people the banner has been regarded
as an emblem of national honor, In de
fense of which each soldier was at all
times ready to die, while banners and
flags taken from the. enemy have al
ways been special trophies of victory
to which places of honor in public
buildings have been assigned.
BOOTS AND SPURS.
Qnalnt Aeconnf- of Hangarlan
airy In Olden Dara.
A contemporary manuscript account
of the diet of Ratlsbon, held In 1630 by
the Emperor Ferdinand II. , on the oc
casion of the landing of Oustavua
Adolphus of Sweden in Germany, men
tions as a remarkable fact that tbe
Hungarian cavalry who rode through
the streets to the ceremonial wore their
spurs on their boot soles.
It Is difficult to credit that these
spurs were fixed on the flat of the boot,
for thus shod the horsemen could nei
ther walk nor stand, especially when
the large size of the spurs worn at the
period is considered. Probably the
writer intended to Indicate that ln
atead of being fastened to the heel In
the usual fashion they were made to
project from tbe fore part of the mill
tary boot, which is a portion of the
sole.
Frederick von Raumer, who quotes
this in his "History of the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth Centuries, Illustrated
by Original Documents," passes the
matter over without comment Tbe

THE SNIPE'S DRUMMING.1""
A Katortllat'a Theory aa to How" the

It Is disputed., whether ; thejsnlpe'a
drumming a curious noise, suggestive
of a miniature thrashing- machine la
Mnade by the bird with Its wings or by'
Its tail or by both wines and taiL r.
SoTne- recent observations incline me
strongly to believe that the tall, plays,
at any rate,, the more, important part.
During the performance the bird flies
t observations InfHno ..ma, r
at a great height round and round in
a wide", sweeping circle. At intervals
he makes a sudden and rapid descent,
holding bis. wings partly Hexed and bis
tail spread to its full, extent -The' out-1
erinost tail feather on elthef side points
outward at a greater' angle than those
adjoining it, bo that, when the bird ia
waiched through a good field glass day
light shows between it and the next,
and, Tf I' am right In niy view, the
"drurriming sound is due to the rush of
air against this Isolated feather. The
Snipe's taif feathers seem so puny that
It is at. first difficult to believe that
they can produce so great a result' But
if an outer one be taken It is slightly

much reduced and swung' rapidly
through the air the drumming noise
may be distinctly heard, though i
seems but a-very faint echo of the
loud, throbbing hum that startles one
when it suddenly descends from an
ethereal height, and the small bird Is
descried, hardly -more than a speck to
the naked eye, circling round in wild

Hla Hunt Ia One That Adds Spice to
Hia Reading;.
j. There is a certain type of literary
man who seems content to take little
part in the struggle of letters beyond
keeping an eye on his contemporaries
and pouncing down on them every now
anoT then to 'accuse them of having
given a meaning to such and such a
word which that word shouKTnot pos
sess. It is strange that the number of
these literary detectives Is not larger,
for there are few more fascinating oc
cupations than this. It lends a spice
to one's reading. The dullest book be
comes as readable as the most deftly
written novel. Certain words have tak
en to themselves meanings in the
course of time which they have no
right to possess. "Phenomenon" is a
very hardened offender. To use this
word as meaning something "strange"
Instead of something "that appears
and is visible" Is to Insure arrest at tho
hands of the detective. Lately the
word "temper" has been exposed.
Through long impunity It has come to
Imply bad temper, whereas, If it hnd
Its rights, it should mean just the re
verse. We strongly advise every one
who desires a never failing source of
amusement to read the next novel ho
takes up with the eye of the detective.
Starting with the easier words, like
"phenomenon," the novice may go on
from strength to strength until before
long nothing can escape him. Tho ex
ercise, moreover, is not only a pleasure,
but a duty. London Globe.
