HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week, The murder of policemen in Poland continues. Japanese goods have supplanted all others in Corea. Many officers are involved in a navy scandal at San Francisco. Another Chicago bank has failed as a result of Stensland's crimes. Ex-United States Senator Turner, of Washington, is mentioned as Bryan's running mate. France has resolved to make no concessions to the Catholics and may confiscate churches. A member of the late Russian parliament has been arrested as a leader of agrarian disorders. R. B. Brown, of Zanesville'e, Oli), has been elected commander-in-chief of the National G. A. R. Diego Mendoza, ex-Colombian minister to the United States, declares that President Reyes is a traitor.

The Milwaukee Avenue State bank, of Chicago, has delicared a 20 per cent dividend for depositors. More will be paid later. Secretary Root has arrived at Buenas Ayres. Mad Mullah has received a disastrous defeat. Negotiations looking to a Russo Japanese fishing treaty have been commenced. It is likely that the War department will concentrate all colored troops at one post. Many Republican state conventions are declaring in favor of Roosevelt for a third term. Peasants in Southern Russia are ravaging the country and the troops refuse to fire on them. A plot to assassinate the president of Cuba was discovered just in time to frustrate the plans. The powers are expected to make strong representations to Greece. The trouble is over the barbarous acts of Greek marauders in Macedona. Government inquiry into the relations between the railroads entering Toledo, Ohio, and the ice trust show the two to be working hand in hand. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of W. R. Vice, formerly coast passenger agent of the Union Pacific. Vice is charged with embezzling $10,000 three years ago. He had been in hiding until the San Francisco disaster of April 18, when he reappeared, believing the papers incriminating him had been destroyed. The National G. A R. is in convention at Minneapolis. Crops have been damaged by unprecedented rains in Virginia. The sultan of Turkey has rewarded his physician by elevating him to the rank of general. With the exception of St. Petersburg, Russia, and Rome, Italy, Chicago leads the world in crime. A Birmingham, Alabama, bank teller and confederates have been arrested for wholesale stealing. The banks of the Chicago Clearing House association have offered a reward of $5,000 for the capture of Stensland. The Rhine & Moselle Insurance company, of Germany, has announced that it will not pay its $2,600,000 liabilities in San Francisco. The sultan of Morocco is considering the question of moving the capital from Fez to Morocco City in order to be more secure from bandits. New Yerk is waging a war against the Coney Island street car lines. A fare of 10 cents is charged, which the courts hold is not legal and the people are fighting to keep from paying more than 5 cents. Thousands are being assaulted by the company's employees and are thrown from the cars on refusal to pay the additional fare. The Longworths have returned from Europe. There has been a wholesale slaughter of police spies in Poland. The Russian War department is planning to rebuild the navy. CASHIER BACKED BOOKIES. Hering Represented Himself Wealthy Man Seeking "Suckers." Chicago, Aug. 17. — Absolute proof that Henry Hering, ceshier of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was financial backer of a bookmaking syndicate which laid odds on horseraces, was brought to light late today, when Inspector Shippy found a check made payable to Harry M. Smith, who for years ran the Buffet at 56 South State street, and whose place was closed this spring, because of running a haudbook, that handbook being none other than that run by the syndicate headed by Hering, but whose name never appeared as connected with it until today. Other men in the syndicate were Charles Francis, Thomas Rowe, Walter Frantzen, Harry Thorpe and Henry Troy. All these men were interviewed by the inspector and all admitted that they were connected with the book, but denied that they knew Hering was connected with any bank, and said that he represented that he was a wealthy man, and that he wanted to increase his wealth by separating "a few suckers from their loose change." Harriman Secures Railroad Coveted by James J. Hill. New York, Aug. 17.—It can be authoritatively stated that control of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad has passed into the hands of E. H. Harriman, via the Southern Pacific Railroad company, which is controlled by the Union Pacific Railroad company, the main Harriman concern. A rumor to the effect that Harriman sought to own the St. Paul property has been heard on various occasions of late, but not until today could it be learned from a competent authority that there was good foundation for the report. As a railroad deal this purchase of the St. Paul by Harriman is more remarkable than the coup by which he secured the Illinois Central control nearly a year ago. Harriman had for years been an important factor in the Illinois Central management, but until now he has never been mentioned in connection with St. Paul. The present deal is also interesting from the fact that in 1900 James J. Hill, Harriman's arch enemy in the railroad arena, made strenuous efforts to purchase the St. Paul, but was refused control by the same Standard Oil interests which with willingness turned the property over to Harriman. PEOPLE GROW CALLOUS. Eye Witness Describes Warsaw After Outbreak of Terrorists. London, Aug. 17. —The Tribune's Warsaw correspondent telegraphs a description of the scenes witnessed by him after the disturbances Wednesday. "The scenes in the morgues were horrible. In one I counted 32 civilian bodies, all dirty and dressed as they fell. "The people have grown callous with too much death. I heard a young girl laugh heartily at the sight of a woman whose brain-pan had been torn off by a bomb. "In one hospital I saw a youth who, when bayoneted yesterday, feigned death. The soldiers trod over him and their heavy boots crushed his fingers to a pulp, but he successfully stood the ordeal. He was carried to the morgue, when it was discovered he was alive. He is now progressing favorably. "Last night resulted in an orgie of blood in the Jewish quarter. The number of persons clubbed or bayoneted exceeds three hundred. "The morgues are crowded with dead. The bodies were arrayed in rows, the clothes dirty with the filt of the streets where they fell. No effort was made to do more than pile the corpses in morgues, and very little has been done towards indentifying them. Relatives and friends of those who lost their lives are fearful of brutal treatment at the hands of the authorities if they visit the morgues." Chicago, Aug. 17.—Professor James H. Breadstick has announced in an article in the Biblical World that the "oldest fixed date in history" is 4241 B. C. In that year the calendar was established, the year beginning on what would now be July 19. Consequently the calendar now in use was 6,147 years old last month. The professor arrived at these conclusions during his long exploration trip in the Nile valley, when he compared the astromological data in the old and middle kingdoms of Egypt. New York, Aug. 17.—Charles C. Browne, the convicted Fateal silk examiner, who was ordered released from the state prison at Sing Sing Tuesday on a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Hough, of the United States Circuit court, was rearrested as he stepped from the prison today and arraigned before Judge Hough. New Age BUYS ST. PAUL SYSTEM. Oldest Exed Date in History. Seized at Prison Door SLAUGHTER POLICE Reds Throughout Poland Start Attack on Enemies. WARSAW IS CENTER OF TROUBLE Slaughter in Polish Capital Calls Forth Effective Volleys—Police Meet Simultaneous Assaults. St. Petersburg, Aug. 16.—Acting apparently with a definite plan and at a signal the terrorists and revolutionists today inaugurated a carnival of murderous attacks with bombs and revolvers on the police and troops in various cities in Poland, echoes of which are heard from Samara, Ufa, Yalta, Kiev and even far away Chita, where the acting chief of police was slain almost on his own doorstep. The revolutionist campaign flamed out with special virulence at Warsaw, where over a score were killed in the streets, and many more were wounded. Among the killed, according to the latest official advices, were two sergeants of police, eight patrolmen, three gendarmes, five soldiers, a Hebrew merchant and a woman. The returns are not all in. Policemen and soldiers were shot down like rabbits in the streets. Their assailants, who traveled in small bands, almost all escaped among the terrorized but sympathetic populace. The only considerable capture was a band of three men who had invaded a greg shop and killed a soldier. These were taken by a passing patrol. Bombs were employed in an attack on the police station at Warsaw, where a sergeant, two patrolmen and a soldier were wounded. Other Polish cities singled out by the terrorists were Lodz, where six soldiers, three patrolmen and the wife of a police captain were wounded by the explosion of bombs in the police station and two soldiers and two terrorists killed in the streets; Radom, where a bomb was thrown in the police station, killing the wife and child of the police captain; Votslaskv, where a captain was stain, and Plock, where at a given signal the policemen on all the posts were simultaneously attacked and several of them wounded. On account of the agrarian disorders, especially several attacks on post trains, the railway between Samara and Zlatoust, which was already carrying guards on all its trains, was today placed under martial law. Two of these attacks occurred today near Ufa, revolutionists in each case flagging the train, bursting open the doors of the cars with bombs and rifling the registered ponches. The booty in one case amounted to $15,000; in the other case the amount is not known. FIRST PURCHASE OF SILVER. Shaw Buys 50,000 Ounces at 66.62 Cents an Ounce. Washington, Aug. 16.—Pursuant to the announcement of the secretary of the treasurer that he desired to receive tenders of silver yesterday, four bids were made to Director Roberts of the mint. The bids were opened yesterday afternoon, and after being submitted to Secretary Shaw, it was announced that the government had purchased 50,000 ounces of silver, 999 fine, at 66.62 cents an ounce. It is not the custom to announce the name of the individual or corporation through whom the silver is obtained. It is expected the government will require from 50,000 to 100,000 ounces of silver a week for an indefinite time. It is the purpose, therefore, of Secretary Shaw and Director Roberts to receive bids Wednesday of each week until further notice. Bodies Hurled a Mile. El Paso, Tex.. Aug. 16. — It is reported here that between 30 and 50 Mexican laborers and bystanders were killed this afternoon at 4:30 in Chihuahua, Mexico, by the explosion of a carload of dynamite on the Mexican Central railroad. The car was being transferred for transportation to the Robinson mine at Santa Fulalia. Bodies and pieces of human flesh were burled into the air and picked up a mile distant. Windows were broken in almost every house in town and many walls were cracked. Several Americans are reported killed. Gives Up Polar Trip. London, Aug. 16.—A dispatch from Christiana to the Daily Mail says that private letters received there from Spitzbergen state that owing to the lateness of the season Walter Wellman, chief of the Chicago Record-Herald Arctic expedition, has abandoned the project of bringing to the north pole this year. NO. 17. MOB IS SUPREME. Russian Terrorists Wreak Vengeance on Hated Police. St. Petersburg, Aug. 15. — Advices received from Libau state that the riotous demonstrations that began there Saturday night still continue and that the Hooligan element absolutely holds sway in the city, the police being powerless to check it. Law abiding citizens are unable to traverse the streets and a reign of robbery and rapine is in progress that will not be checked until troops are sent to aid the police. So far all appeals to the government at St. Petersburg have fallen apparently upon deaf ears and this fact has emboldened the disturbing element to add murder to its other crimes. Five storekeepers have been murdered during the past 12 hours and hundreds of shops have been looted. The rioters raided the alcohol depot, and after filling themselves up on the fiery fluid, paraded the streets, shouting threats against the Jews and factory owners and storekeepers. Three police officers have been murdered since Tuesday morning, the Terrorists apparently having seized upon the confusion as offering a magnificent opportunity to eliminate the hated members of the police who have been active in working against them. There is one regiment of infantry in the local barracks at Libau, but it is mutinous and the officers some days ago took from the men all their ammunition, as it was feared that they intended to mutiny. FIRST INSURANCE TRIAL. Test Case Upon Earthquake Clause Set for Trial. San Francisco, Aug. 15.—The first of the insurance cases involving the earthquake clause was set for trial today by Superior Judge Hebbard. The case is that of the Rosenthal Shoe company against the Williamsburg City Fire Insurance company. The attorney for the insurance people asked that the case be not set for trial until opportunity could be given the judges mutually to arrange with the insurance companies for a test case. He said that the insurance companies would demand a jury trial in each case, and unless proper arrangements were made for a test case the courts would be occupied for years in hearing insurance litigation. The attorney for the plaintiff declared that there were points of fact in this connection that could not be settled by a test case. The court then asked the insurance attorney if he waived a jury trial, and was answered, "No." The judge then asked, "Do you demand a jury trial?" but could not get a direct answer. The attorney for the shoe company then announced that to save time he would formally demand a jury trial. The case was set for August 27. HAD PREPARED FOR FLIGHT. Stensland Took House Furnishings and a Woman With Him. Chicago, Aug. 15. — Testimony indicating that extensive preparations for flight were made by Paul Stensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, and that a woman entered into these preparations, were secured by Assistant State's Attorney Oleen today, through the cross examination of Miss Allen McCracken, housekeeper for Stensland. It was learned that Stensland took with him in trunks and boxes sheets and other bedding, towels, window curtains, carpets, rugs and a silver dinner set. Some of this is said to have been traced to Baraboo, Wisconsin. The large trunk that is being traced is said to be three feet high and bound with iron. The box traced to Wisconsin weighed 375 pounds when it was placed on an express wagon at the Stensland home on the day of the flight. Telegrams have been sent all over the world to trainmen to look for the big trunk. Another warrant charging Cashier Hering with forging a note for $10,000 in the name of Marius S. Kirby was issued today. Car Service Stopped. New York, Aug. 15.—Following the arrest tonight of three division inspectors of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company on charges of assault, the company shut off entirely all of its surface lines leading to Coney island, taking the position that this was the only way to stop the rioting which has been in progress since Sunday morning at the points where a second fare was demanded by the company's employees. The elevated and express trains to the seashore were augmented. The inspectors were released on bail. Freight Tunnels Under Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 15.—The freight bores of the Illinois Tunnel company will carry merchandise of all kinds in carload lots for the first time today. This movement will mark the practical completion of the Illinois Tunnel company's system of underground freight railroads, construction of which was begun five years ago, and which has cost its owners about $30,000,000. Never judge a man by the opinion he has of himself. Women use calling cards in playing the social game. Talk isn't necessarily cheap when money does the talking. Every man who knows himself knows how selfish other men are. A woman doesn't thoroughly enjoy anything she can't cry over. When a man borrows trouble he puts up his peace of mind as collateral. There are a good many noughts in the sum total of the world's inhabitants. The Panama canal is being dug to music. Why shouldn't it? Uncle Sam pays the piper. After reading the report on the packing houses you are almost ashamed to look a corned-beef can in the face. A man of the name of Szisz was the victor in a recent big automobile race. How could they have stopped him? There is one advantage possessed by the man at the bottom over the man at the top; he doesn't have so far to fall. The Czar's attitude toward the Douma is that of a little boy who owns a dog about 20 sizes too large for him. It is said the Standard people will furnish San Francisco with water. Oil and water may have to mix, after all. Pleaseestopasking concerning the public estimate of the joy of being an iceman in Toledo. Nobody wants to be the iceman. No great war is now being waged anywhere. "Fighting Bob" Evans must regard this as a very inferior sort of summer. A London music teacher says American girls have the sweetest voices in the world. We may add that they have the richest fathers, too. It is announced that kerosene oil externally applied will cure snake-bite. This may cause H. H. Rogers to take a firm stand against the people who kill snakes. The scientists have decided that the San Francisco earthquake was due to ruptures in the earth's crust. This relieves Thomas W. Lawson of a lot of suspicion. George Bernard Shaw says he would rather sweep a crossing than live in idle luxury. Russell Sage might at least encourage Mr. Shaw with a word or two of approval. While the girl graduates received the poetic advice to keep their eyes on the stars, the only advice the young men graduates had handed out to them was to keep their eyes on the "Help Wanted" columns. The spelling reform brethren now claim William Shakespeare as one of their confraternity and they are right. A man who consistently refused to spell his own name the same way twice in succession certainly must be credited with latitudinarian views in the matter or orthography. The late Michael Davitt, the Irish home ruler, who had served two or three terms in prison for his opulions, bequeathed to all his friends "kind thoughts, to my enemies the fullest possible forgiveness, and to Ireland my undying prayer for her absolute freedom." One does not need to agree with Davitt to admire the spirit which inspired such a passage in his will. Addison, in one of his "Sir Roger De Coverly" sketches, says: "A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart; his next to escape the censures of the world; if the last interferes with the former it ought to be entirely neglected. If we may judge from experience and from the sights and sounds around us, this is scarcely the principle which directs the conduct of many of us. And yet there is an immense amount of practical common sense wisdom in Addison's dictum, for in avoiding the reproaches of his own heart a man is taking the surest step toward the highest good—happiness. Persons who travel are aware that the cake of soap for promiscuous use has been growing less common in the wash rooms of hotels, and in New York and some other large cities has almost disappeared. Devices by which a small portion of pulverized or liquid soap is deposited in the hand have largely superseded the cake of soap. The reason is the readiness with which soap receives and retains the germs of disease. Physicians who tested cakes of soap from various New York hotels found filth and disease bacteria in nearly every sample—in those from the highest-priced and most fashionable hotels, as well as those from the cheaper ones. --- Nobody contributes more largely to the general good than one with a heart good sense of humor. Troubles disappear at his approach, and under the magic influence of his contagious gentility cares and worries, which seemed so heavy, become light as air and mere cause of smiles. One with a sunny, hopeful, humorous nature is like a physician during a plague. It is not possible, of course, for everybody to be witty or humorous. It is just as reasonable to counsel people to be poets or to be beautiful as to urge them to be wits or humorists. Wits and humorists are born, not made, and there is hardly anything more melancholy than the person without any sense of humor or a grain of wit vainly striving to win applause and dulling the edge of patience. Franklin said that no fools are so troublesome as those who have wit, and those who with unreasonable jests make light of serious and sacred things. If we cannot all add to the fund of good humor by "jambul flashes" of wit and the beautiful, gracious charm of an Oliver Goldsmith or a Mark Twain, it is nevertheless within the power of all to take a cheerful view of things and to cultivate our own good humor. Our temperaments are made for us, but our habits are of our own making. And good humor and cheerfulness are largely habits. A cheerful frame of mind comes with a desire and determination to be cheerful, and the habit, like all other habits, grows with time and use. Whoever cultivates the cheerful habit will find his reward in his own happiness, which will grow as he perceives how much his cheerfulness and good humor add to the happiness of others. Prof. L. H. Bailey, director of the Cornell University's agricultural department, has been discussing the question of the cityward drift of farm boys, especially of boys who go to college, and his views are hopeful and encouraging. He is certain that in the near future there will be an excellent understanding and cordial co-operation between the farm and the college, notwithstanding certain present tendencies which he regrets. An identical letter of inquiry to Cornell students born and bred on farms or in rural sections brought Prof. Bailey interesting data, which he summarizes in the Century. One hundred and fifty-five students admitted that they were leaving the farm, and gave their reasons for the decision. These reasons are grouped under four heads, as follows: Financial rewards, physical labor, social and intellectual interests, miscellaneous difficulties and handicaps on the farm. Many of the students thought the farmer had no opportunity either for political distinction or for social, humanitarian service. Fifteen expected to return to the farm in the course of time, after a successful career in the city in business or the professions. Prof. Bailey is not surprised at the fascination exercised by the great cities, with their wealth, their intense life, their infinite variety, their social and political organizations, their amusements and artistic and intellectual attractions. But he believes that a reaction is in course of preparation. Great fortunes made in trade and commerce have a dazzling effect, but many of the ambitious youths soon discover that it is impossible for every one to get rich, and the professions are notoriously overcrowded. Yale proposes to make its law school a post-graduate school and admit no one without a college degree, and the suggestion is generally commended on the ground that already there are too many lawyers in the country. Most physicians, architects, literary men, artists say the same thing about their vocations. The farm holds out no promise of great wealth, but it insures mental peace, comfort and reasonable prosperity when properly and practically managed. So far as rural isolation is concerned, it is surely becoming a thing of the past, as Prof. Bailey has pointed out in a commencement address. With the ubiquitous troley, the autocar, the telephone, the free delivery system, the construction of new railways, and—we may add—the automatic piano players and other musical instruments—who can justly say the farm means dull monotony and isolation? The farm needs the college but it can in turn do much for the educated youth seeking opportunities. The city will find the farm more and more of a competitor with college men. Mark Twain in the midst of a pane-gyric on advertising told a remarkable story. "There was a man," he said, "back Iowa way who was so pleased with an advertisement in the local paper that he wrote the following testimonial letter to the editor: "Mr. Editor: Sir—After selling all I could, giving barrels away, stuffing my hogs till they would eat no more. I still had last fall about 200 tons of big, jucy, fline flavored apples left on my hands. I inserted in your valuable paper an ad, that I was willing to send free a barrel of picked fruit, freight paid in advance by me, to any one who would apply, there being, of course, no charge for the barrel. You will hardly credit it, but that little 40-cent ad, cleared out my whole stock of apples, and I could have disposed of five times the quantity on the same terms." To prevent brass from tarnishing dissolve half an ounce of shellac in half a pint of methylated spirit, cork tightly, leave till the next day, then pour off the clear liquid. Heat the brass slightly and paint the solution over it with a camel's hair brush. We have known a great many women, and have heard hundreds of them tell their love affairs, but never yet knew one who received a proposal of marriage in a conservatory.

"Our part of Russia," said different from any other part of pre. We have practically a s The evil that may be caused by a phrase is well exemplified by the term "growing palms." Many a cripple today owes his misfortune to the fact that the first symptoms of his disease were misinterpreted. The recurring palms of which he complained, which caused him to limp at times or to cry out in his sleep, were called by his parents growing palms, and were thought to signify nothing more than the effort of nature to adjust the growing bones and muscles and sinews to each other. Of course every child has innumerable little aches and pains, the result of fatigue, slight sprains, stone bruises, and the like, and it is well that food parents should not take too much notice of them, lest they foster a disposition in the child to worry over illnesses. The cause of such occasional palms is usually apparent, and a night's rest or a day in the house will dispel it. But when the pain recurs from time to time without evident cause, or when ordinary romping during the day is followed by a night of aching, and is perhaps a limp for a day or two, it is possible that there is some serious underlying cause, and the family physician should be consulted. Frequent complaint of pain in the knee is one of the signs of beginning hip disease, but examination shows the knee to be apparently sound, and the home diagnosis of growing pains is made, and the real trouble in the hip is overlooked, often until it is too late to prevent permanent lameness. Although not called growing pains, repeated attacks of stomach-ache in children should not be slighted, for they may be a symptom of early spinal disease. The complaint of pain in the stomach, when not referable to green apples or a surfeit of pastry, especially when the complaint is made at the close of the day or during the night, should indicate the necessity of a careful examination of the spine. Growing pains may be due to rheumatism, which, if not detected and correctly treated, may lead to disease of the heart. A less serious trouble, but one demanding medical treatment, which may cause an aching in the limbs, is malaria. This is a dangerous diagnosis, for if incorrect it may be as serious in its consequences as that of growing pains, and even if the child has had an unmistakable attack of malaria, the parent should not be content with that explanation of its aches and pains; but should refer the matter to the doctor. It should always be remembered that growth is a normal process, and should no more be accompanied by pain, than digestion or breathing.—Youth's Companion. GENERAL STOESSEL CONDNED TO DEATH General Anatole Mikhailovich Stoessel, who has been condemned to death for surrendering Port Arthur to the Japanese, was for nearly a year one of the central figures in the Manchurian war. Before winning renown in eastern Asia he had fought against the Turks at Plevna and at Schlipka Pass and had won promotion in the Turkestan campaigns. When the Boxer outbreak took place in 1900 he head- ed the Russian contingent for the relief of Pekking, and was the first Russian officer to enter Tientsin. When the campaign ended Stoossel was made a major general and was stationed at Port Arthur and began strengthening the works there, little dreaming that within a few years he would have to defend them against the legions of the mikado, and when the war with Japan broke out he was made commander of the fortress. The general was born at Orenberg fifty-seven years ago, his father having been a prominent merchant. He was educated in the imperial military school and after joining the colors became noted as a serious military student. TO STUDY AMERICA. Soldiers from a Russian Province to Look Into Our Methods. For the purpose of studying American methods, four Russians from Khokan, a remote city in Asiatic Russia, are now in Seattle, says the Seattle Post-Intelligence. They are a part of a party of 25 Slavs who came over on the steamer Dakota. The rest of the men were from different parts of the country. The party of four from Khokan were formerly military men, and one of the number, General Takipville. fought through the Russo-Japanese war, engaging in some of the largest battles, and was wounded three times. He has four decorations conferred on him for valor. M. Zataforaskoff, one of the party, speaks English fluently, and stated that the party was in this country for the purpose of acquiring American ideas and advanced methods. "Our part of Russia," said he. "is different from any other part of the empire. We have practically a self-governing province. The people are all soldiers. This is one of the first requirements for children. The province of Ferghana, in which Khokan is located, is a vast mountainous country, and only the hardy riders of my country could live there. This is what makes them among the finest soldiers in the world, and what brought about the promotion of almost every one of them who served in the Russian war against the Japanese. One of our most famous products is silver work. In the factories the rarest kind of things are produced and the art of the goldsmith is carried to perfection. There is much commerce, but it is carried on with the surrounding countries. "Mining for gold, silver, copper and iron is carried on quite extensively and it keeps the cities flourishing. At the present time the country is overrun with wandering Kurds, who do nothing but loot for their living. Plans are now on foot to run railroads through the country, and this will have a good effect. The mixed population of the province makes it hard to keep everything running smoothly in the government, but as practically all power is in the hands of the native people there is seldom any complaint. This province is not represented in the Russian douma, as it is considered unnecessary, owing to the fact that we have everything we want. "Our party will travel around the United States and possibly through Europe, for the purpose of acquiring special information regarding the European methods of finance and economies." The others of the party speak no English. They state that their native costume with large knives, bullets and revolvers would be discarded for American costume and that they would endeavor to imitate the American in every way. GREATEST TUNNEL BUILDER. Charles M. Jacobs, Who Is Boring Under New York's Waters. Under New York's Waters. Leaving out the Panama canal, the greatest public works going forward today are the two Pennsylvania railroad tunnels connecting Manhattan Island with the mainland, running under the Hudson river; the four "McAdoo" tunnels for trolley cars under the Hudson, the four Pennsylvania tunnels connecting Manhattan with Long Island, the two subway tunnels to Brook CHARLES M. JACOBS. MANHATTAN ISLAND with the mainland, running under the Hudson river; the four "McAdoo" tunnels for trolley cars under the Hudson, the four Pennsylvania tunnels connecting Manhattan with Long Island, the two subway tunnels to Brooklyn under the East river, and the Belmont tunnel, which is being laid under the same estuary. No such extensive tunnelling of this sort has ever been projected elsewhere. Charles M. Jacobs, who, as engineer in charge, has built the four "McAdoo" tunnels, now almost completed, and who now has charge of the Pennsylvania tunnels under the Hudson river, has often been called the foremost tunnel builder in the world. He is an Englishman, rather more than 60, of striking appearance, a roundish face, a full mustache, a bare top head and pleasant manners. So far as America goes he was discovered in London by the late Austin Corbin 15 or 16 years ago, when the latter was planning a system of East and Hudson river tunnels that he didn't live to see bored. Corbin brought Jacobs to the United States and he worked out the plans for the tunnels which Corbin had in mind; that they were never dug was due to no fault of Jacobs', but rather, possibly, to Corbin's death. Jacobs, however, did the tunnel between Manhattan and Astoria for the passage of gas pipes. When McAdoo and his backers got ready to take hold of the Hudson river tunnels, now known by McAdoo's name, which had been abandoned and full of water more than twenty years, Jacobs was the man to take charge of the work as chief engineer and push them through to completion. Drinking of Healths. The drinking of healths in wine or liquor or other kinds originated in Britain at the time of the rule of the Danes, before Alfred the Great finally succeeded in driving them from the land. Owing to the assassination of Englishmen by Danes, it became a custom to enter into compacts for the mutual preservation of health and security. These compacts were usually pledged in wine, and hence the custom of drinking healths. Very Like It. His mother tucked 4-year-old Johnny away in the top berth of the sleeping car, says a writer in Youth.

MULKEY, It is often said, and with some degree of truth, that the best men are seldom selected for political honors. The cause of this is chiefly due to the old boss system, which placed the naming of candidates in the hands of one man, who generally used such power for the furtherance of his own selfish purposes in the bargain and sale of offices. The result is that under conditions of this kind few high-minded, clean men would aspire for political preferment. Happily, however, the people of Oregon in their wisdom have done away with the political boss by the direct primary law, whose first trial has given the people most gratifying results. In the nomination and election of Hon. Fred W. Mulkey for United States senator, the Republican party of Oregon has set an example for her sister states to follow, by sending to the highest lawmaking body in the world, able, clean and progressive young men. Hon. Fred W. Mulkey was born in Portland, Ore., and is a resident of his native city. He is a young man with every accomplishment which should qualify him for this high office. He is a graduate of the State University of Oregon, the New York Law School of New York City, and is a lawyer of high standing, a man who has traveled extensively in our own country as well as abroad. He has studied our institutions and compared them with foreign countries. He is a logical thinker, a forceful speaker and an adept parliamentarian. He has many friends, both rich and poor, for he is a courteous gentleman, a congenial companion, a loyal friend and a charitable and kind-hearted citizen. Mr. Mulkey is a true, tried and lifelong Republican, and has consistently supported the party nominee at all times. He is a high-minded, clean, cultured and patriotic citizen, whose entire life has been spent in the state of Oregon, and to whose interests he is devoted. That the new Republican party of Oregon has started off right, and that Mr. Mulkey will "make good" and bring to himself and our state great credit and lasting honor, is a foregone conclusion. John D. Rockefeller is a director in only one company—the Standard Oil trust. It is believed, though, that he has friends in the directories of several other influential companies. The Czar shows an inclination to bend to the popular will, but he is apparently not going to run any risk of bending an inch more than he positively must. The London specialist who is advocating the "silence cure" for nervous women has earned the thanks of a good many nervous men. Edison says he has discovered how to cut the price of automobiles in two. It will soon get so that even editors can have 'em. Senator Whyte, being only 82, will have to excuse Senator Pettus, as the latter regards him as a mere boy. Are Granted Hearings Washington, Aug. 14.—In order that the food manufacturers of the country may have opportunity to make suggestions concerning regulations for the enforcement of the new pure food law, hearings will be held at the department of Agriculture from September 17 to 23. Six feet of earth or a bathtub makes all men equal. When a woman marries a man's troubles begin. Please sic the muck-rakers on the man that rocks the boat. Fear of being reformed keeps many a man in the bachelor class. Wonder where those Chicago packers get the meat they eat at home? The first happy fruit of Alfonso's marriage is a commercial treaty. The real object of the Douma appears to be to do the Little White Pa. Only the man who is blindly in love falls to see through a coat of complexion paint. Shoplifters should go into a drug store and take something for what's the matter with them. Sometimes it seems as if the less a woman knows about anything the more she likes to talk about it. When the average man makes a mistake he tries to justify himself by referring to his good intentions. Some men are kept so busy criticising others that they have no time to accomplish anything themselves. It's the easiest thing in the world to convince yourself that you are just a little better than your neighbor. It's all right to dream of the great things you are going to do, but don't forget to wake up in time to begin work. It may be better for a foolish man to acquire dollars by marrying an heiress than to remain without cents all his days. There is a growing feeling in the country that the center of the meat industry in the United States should be "Spotless Town." The insurance magnates will probably regard it as an impertinence for the grand jury to indict them for a little thing like perjury. A man in New York was arrested for being in a certain restaurant without a full-dress suit. When fashions may be enforced by a policeman liberty seems to be on the wane. A man who introduced an anti-kissing bill in the Virginia Legislature last winter has been deserted by his wife. Watch out for an avalanche of anti-kissing bills in the Virginia Legislature at the next session. Search for evidence as to the character of the people who lived in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming in prehistoric times is to be made by an expedition from the University of Nebraska. One does not need to send out expeditions to learn what kind of people live there now. They are the salt of the earth. "Music," said Josh Billings, "has charms to soothe a savage, to rend a rock or split a cabbage." It is, according to the veracious reports from the Isthmus, now doing two of them down on the canal, where one foreman has distinguished himself by getting double the work out of his gang of West Indians by resorting to the inspiration of song. Under the influence of his chanty "Down, Men, Down," his diggers threaten to excavate their way to China. Russia's douma may labor under certain disadvantages, but repression of parliamentary criticism is not one of them. Even in the most untrammeled legislative assemblies the practice of calling the members of the ministry murderers, thieves and assassins to their faces would be deemed to be stretching parliamentary privilege somewhat. In the douma, however, we hear of little else. It may be that when the douma adjourns and the members lose their privilege the Siberian colony may receive considerable accessions, but in the meantime we cannot doubt that parliamentary free speech, at least, is not curtailed in Russia. In many families the education of the children is committed almost exclusively to the schools, and this sufficiently accounts for the atrocious errors of speech often noted in circles where we might expect better things. It matters not how faithful the teacher may be, the child will inevitably imitate the language heard at home and forget the instruction of the school. When the child hears incorrect language in the family and imbibes it freely from vicious books he is probably going to speak ungrammatically as long as he lives. A writer on the educational process says that the years from 8 to 12 constitue the habit-forming period. "This is the time to break the human colt, in some sense the wildest of all animals." Errors in the use of the mother tongue adopted during this time are difficult to correct. Mr. Marconi used a ten-inch induction coll giving a spark three-quarters of an inch long in his early attempts THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON to communicate across the English Channel by wireless telegraphy. His masts were one hundred and fifty feet high. To provide for commercial communication across the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Honolulu, a gigantic induction-coll fifteen feet long is being built which will give a spark fifteen feet long and as thick as a man's body. Two thousand miles of fine, silk-insulated copper wire are used in the coll, with more than a ton of beeswax and paper for additional insulating. Its potential will be about five million volts. The masts from which the impulses will be sent out are twin towers, each three hundred feet high. on the very apex of Mount Tamalpais, across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. The antenna—three thousand pounds of heavy copper wire—will be nearly three thousand feet above the waves which wash the foot of the mountain. Questions concerning naturalization have been of more importance to the United States than to any other country in the world owing to the fact that the whole trend of our history has been in the direction of an invitation to the discontented and oppressed for more than a century. The discussion began long before Washington entered upon his presidency, the declaration of independence, indeed, furnishing the starting point. In a volume just published by Prof. Frank G. Franklin of the University of the Pacific, under the title, "The Legislative History of Naturalization in the United States," the progress of the discussion is followed in the various governmental acts, and at the same time it is made apparent that at the start it is made difficult connected with the lack of uniformity in the naturalization laws of the several States, a difficulty which is perhaps most responsible for the measure which has now passed Congress and is to go into operation ninety days after its approval by the President. Mr. Franklin's account indicates that there is nothing specially new in naturalization questions as now discussed, since the matter has been debated and redebated again and again ever since the first law on the subject in 1790, unless it be connected with the tremendous tides of immigration which have flowed in the direction of America during recent years. Two features deserve special mention when the present measure is examined, one the barring of archists and the other the requirement of a knowledge of the English language on the part of the would-be citizen. The bill provides that no person who disbelieves in or is opposed to organized government should be naturalized. Few will question the wisdom of this clause, for while the utmost freedom of thought, expression and action is popular with every American, the wide latitude permitted should not include the admission to citizenship of those whose avowed purpose is to destroy the government offering them such freedom. What the practical value of the clause will be remains to be seen. It will be easy for one who seeks citizenship to conceal his real sentiments, to perjure himself, perhaps, thus gaining privileges to which he would not be entitled if his anarchistic sentiments were known. It may serve a useful purpose in excluding notorious enemies of law and order. As for the requirement from the intending citizen of a knowledge of the English language, that is a wise provision which will work little hardship, but which will hasten the efforts of many an immigrant to learn the commonly used speech of the country, and there is much gained in a way when a foreigner shows his intention to give up the old tide of language for the new one of his adopted home. In practical working it is unlikely that the language test will be so severe as to prove a serious barrier to any worthy applicant. There probably will be a great rush now to get in under the old law, and much opportunity will be afforded judges for the exercise of care in admission. There need be no hurry about letting in to citizenship a lot of undesirable persons who have not yet fully proved their worthiness. The laws have been pretty easy in the past, and there are not many who would be injured by delay in their admission. Milk Fed Kid. "This is milk fed kid," said the leather merchant. "It is very soft and fine and pliable, isn't it?" He smoothed the delicate white skin and went on: "All first rate kid is milk fed. It comes to us from the French supermothers. These men are superb goatherds. Their immense flocks supply the world's kid gloves. The goatherds of France are careful to keep their kids on an exclusive milk diet. They pep the little animals with their mothers in rocky inclosures, where there is no grass. At that the kids often escape, often manage to eat solid food, for, with almost human perversity, kids that shouldn't be weaned wean themselves early, whereas calves that should be weened cling like grim death to milk. One meal of grass will spill a kid's skin, will rob it of its softness and pliability, will harden and coarsen and stiffen it; hence, when you buy kid gloves always choose the milk fed kind."—Cincinnati Enquirer. Unwelcome. "A delegation from Finland, sir," announced the chamberlain. The cxar strove to conceal his agitation. "Of course I cannot see my Finnish!" he answered, with characteristic Romanoff obstinacy—Puck. In the marriage service when the man says, "With all I have I thee endow," it does not include his kin.

San Francisco, Aug. 14. — The re- building of San Francisco has begun in earnest. There is little talk, there is little boasting, but there ie a vast amount of work. It may be observed on every hand. "It has suddenly grown to large proportions, due to increased ‘payments by the insurance companies. These paymente now total 350,000,000 —enough to warrant a decided step in advance in reconstruction. But still the $50,000,000 represents only 20 cents on the dollar of the amount due ‘the policy holders of the city. The ‘thirty days’ grace allowed by law, after ‘the three monthe allotted for the filing of proofs of loes, have elapsed and the insurance corporations must now pay or flatly refuse. ‘The $50,000,000 has not been paid with the same cheerfulness with which the premiums were collected, in fact, it ie not an exaggeration to say that a very large part of the amount has been ““wrang” from the companies. It is still a question as to the sum which the policy holders will collect in the end. It is organization that hae car- ried them to the point already attained, and it will be organisation that will carry them further. There is very lit- tle single handed fighting against the companies. Most of the individual euits filed are test cases to determine the validity of certain doubtful clauses and to decide how far the ‘earthquake clause” will prevail. The policy hold ers have been merged into a gigantic organization, whica has employed a corpe of lawyers and will either force the companies to do the ‘‘equare thing” or else announce their perfidily to the ac Seven Mutineers Condemned. Helsingfore, Finland, Aug. 14.—The trial by court martial of the Sveaborg mutineers commenced Saturday, and Lieutenants Kochanovsky and Emilian- off, aged respectively 20 and 21 yeare, ‘and five soldiers were at the first sit- ting found guilty and condemned to death.

Riding in a gondola is not a new sensation to. those. who. visited the Columbian Exposition. These cabs of Venice. can be hired for about 15 cents, with a single rower, and°8 cents each for large pleces of luggage. The gondollers are very graceful and ex- pert, and send the boat shooting for- ward with one dexterous turn of the wrist. ‘Venice is in truth the fair crowned ‘queen of the Adriatic, enveloped in a mist of romance which 1s like a rosy cloud. There is an air of color every- where—of flowers, of rippling water, of roofs, of clinging vines, of marble that reveals the fascinating Impress of mys terious years, whose deeper imprest time will cover over with bis shadowy wing, and splte the stern historlan’s conscientious efforts. ‘The Grand Canal fs u picture, with its carved facades of palaces that fqce this ancient avenu¢ of aristocratic Venice.

Art students of New York City have @iscovered a new source for fresh ideas, says the New York Tribune Probably the oddest drawing clase jabout town can be seen at intervals in Peruvian Hall of the Museum of Nat ural History. The interest of brust ‘and pencil pupils in thls somewhat somber department, given up to things ‘antiquated, is due to a display of tex tile fabrics rich in color and full of strange designs. These were dug up from burial places in Pera and Bo- Uvila and are the rich remnants In dress of the celebrated Inca race, which In pre-Spanish times had at- tained to a high degree of clvilzation In the new world In the fifteenth and sixteenth centurfes, The Bandeller expedition recovered thousands of gorgeously colored pleces of cloth, ‘These have recently been put on exhi- bition and open up an entirely new field for the artist. Afer hundreds and possibly _thou- sands of years of entombment this tex tile work !s as fresh and rich in color as when first deposited in the graves ‘Phe fabrics are decorated in frult animal and geometrical patterns and fare woren from the wool of the lama alpaca and vicuna. By a clever method of duplicating and combining these or namental features the art s(udents pro duce some striking designs, which late find thelr way Into commercial use delng sold to purchasers who are ot the constant lookout for novel effects ‘Only the other day Dr. Rafaelle Sorgnac, one of the lecturers at th Sorbonne In Paris, declared that tuber culosis 1s spread brondeast by th swathing of mummies.

Two little rosebuds bloom side by side Close to the garden wall; One just reaches the wicket gate; The other is not so tall. One stands here the whole year through And one comes and goes at her will; One never speaks nor moves from her place, While the other is never still. One little rosebud grows on a bush, The other runs round on two feet; But both are rosebuds just the same— Very rare, and so very sweet. A Little Jerry was staying with grandma. He liked the farm when mother was there; but when he had been sent there because mother was slick—then the shadows behind the barn looked decidedly dreary and the little chirping tree-toads under his window made a lonesome sound. He tried to be very brave and not to mind, but the days were long. One afternoon he almost determined to run away home and tell mother all about it. He wondered if people cared the same when they were sick, and if she were able to take him on her knee and smooth it all out. From thinking these things it presently seemed quite right to take the trip. He had found people so kind in the country that he was sure he would get a great many rides, and when he was within a dollar of Boston he could take the train, for he had that amount of money in his little leather purse. He sat under the maple-tree, planning Along with other enlightenments of the age, the genius Boy seems now to be better understood and appreciated than in the days of the colonies. The worthy advocates of the precept that "children should be seen and not heard" were apt to forget that if young people were "heard" at proper seasons they were much more apt to be "seen" to advantage when occasion required. The boys of 1700 were no worse than those of to-day. What modern lad could sit through a two hours' sermon without the aid of much wrigling and squirming and an occasional kick or two? W. R. Bliss, in his book on colonial meeting-houses, tells how the youthful portion of the congregation was regarded by our very great-greatfathers. Certain laws, enacted in Massachusetts at the end of the struggle with King Philip, declared that the war was a punishment for "the disorder and rudeness of youth in many congregations in time of the worship of God." John Ellot, pastor at Roxbury, evidently thought this a harsh charge to lay at the boys' door, for he expressed his opinion that they had nothing to do with it, and that the war was a judgment on the people for wearing wigs. In 1666 John Dawes of Boston was empowered to take care of all young people "that are disorderly in time of God's Sollem worship" and to correct the unruly ones with a small wand. In 1723 John Pike was paid sixteen pounds for keeping "boys in subjection," in the time of service, for six months. When hired the second time he doubled his price. On Cape Cod four men were appointed by a town to take care of the boys on the Lord's day, and to whip them if necessary. Such officers were termed "Inspectors of Youth." In Duxbury, as late as 1760, a committee washos it all out, and the only thing that worried him was getting hungry; but he reasoned that if he stayed on the farm his grandmother would have to give him his food, and so if he took a certain amount in a box it would not be stealing. When this was decided upon, there seemed nothing to be feared, and he went at once to the kitchen to see what he could find. He planned to start the next morning, and as he might not have an opportunity to take food then, he decided to hide it in the barn. He found an old box, and in it he placed two slices of bread, three doughnuts and a piece of cake. He also put in a small tin dipper that grandmother had given him to pick berries in. He crept out at the back door and found his way to the hay-loft. There was a long tunnel in the hay that he had built the day before, and into this he crawled and hid away the box. He was sure now of overcoming all obstacles, and so he thought he would enjoy himself. He began a play he knew very well—hunting for tigers in an African jungle. It is a pleasant game for lonely little boys, and a haymow is an excellent place to play it. Jerry crawled farther away into the hay, and just as in imagination he was coming upon a tiger, he felt the hay settling beneath his feet, and he began to slide down—down. He called out, but no one heard, and when his feet at last came to the ground, he found himself in a small room that apparently had been once a stall. There was a rude sort of door, and against this he pushed with all his strength, but it refused to give way. He was terribly frightened, for he did not know how far he might be from the front of the barn, and he knew if he could not make his presence known he would be in a worse plight than feeling lonely in his neat little bed in the porch chamber. There was a small window high above his head, and with all his strength he called again and again. The shadows began to fall, and far away he heard the cattle come into the barn and distant rumbling of carts. After a time this died away, and all was still. He fung himself down on the rough boards and cried with all the bitterness of eight years. It was a great many hours later when the sound of loud bell-ringing woke him, and there was the flash of lanterns in the small window. He knew then that they were looking for him, and he called out. This time he was heard, for the men were passing the back of the barn on their way to the wood. It was not long before he was back in grandma's kitchen, sitting on her lap and telling her all about it, even about the box of food, and why it was hidden in the hay. "That would have been too bad," said grandma, when she had heard how much better it seemed now to be on her knee than going back to the city, "because mother is coming to-morrow, and father is coming Saturdays, just as he used to do. If you had gone away you would have missed them." Jerry could only hide his face on grandmother's comfortable shoulder and whisper many, many promises. Youth's Companion. en to look after "the wretched boys" on the Sabbath. What did these colonial lads do to require such supervision? One almost shrinks from examining into their lawlessness. But the records reveal the depths of their inluvu. They did not stand up as their elders did for the long prayers, but sat with their hats on "during ye whole exercise." They ran out before the prayer was done and "ye Blessing pronounced." They were guilty of "Rude and Idel Behavior such as Smiling and Larfing and Intisling others to the Same Evil;" of "Puluing the heir of their naybers in time of publick Worship." One's imagination might go on and add the paper balls and nutshells which were probably thrown from the galleries where "the wretched boys" were imprisoned, the shaking of the benches, the sly pinches, and the similar eubilations of youthful spirits which went to make up the sum total of colonial wickedness.

We're in our home a treasure trove That loving folk would joy to see; A winsome, weenie, bonnie sprite, "Our baby," sweet, as sweet can be. Her cheeks are tinted like a shell, Her hair a ruddy hair in hue; Her mouth a bit of coral cleft. Her eyes like flax flow'rs wet with dew Her hands, liks lilies in the sun, Are lined with petals of the rose; And dimples chase each other from Her chin down to her rosy toes. And we, her serfs, forget that life On pulleys of the heart is run; And thro' our wealth of lovingness Declare our babe "the only one." The only one; dear gift of God— A trust to brighten faith grown dim— She takes us with her innocence Straight up the steeps which lead to him. And as we pray that he "will keep Our baby safe from evry ill." Old-time belief comes back again, And old-time thoughts their truths distil. Our baby; tender women smile. And men forget the ways of sin. I "would" kiss the heart to heart, "Our baby" matter the world akin. -Chicago Tribune --- THE spring boarders were beginning to come to the Trevose Cottage, and Will Pressler and Joe Clinton watched each new arrival with increased interest, for there was a fascination about their manners and dress that was very attractive. The year before Arthur Goeffrey and Mason De Long, two of the boarders at the cottage, became quite intimate with the country boys, and had filled their minds with ideas that made Will and Joe very much dissatisfied with their life. "I wish I was away from this," said Will one day to Joe, when he came over on an errand for his father. "I'm sick and tired of this kind of a life." "So am I," replied Joe, "for it is getting more and more slavish. By the SOME TO SPARE FOR OTHERS. way, I got another letter from Mason, and he says I'm very foolish working my life out here for my folks for nothing when I could come to the city and work for some one who would pay me good wages." "Arthur wrote to me, too," said Will, "and he says we could get good positions easily at good pay, and see something. He goes to the theater, or some other place of amusement every night, and here we stay and slave, and never see anything. I wish I was away, for I hate farm work worse and more every day." "You don't hate it worse than I do," replied Joe. One day the next week Joe heard some one calling, "Joe! Hello, Joe!" and he started up from behind a hedge where he had been, and hurriedly dropped a letter to the ground and put his foot upon it. "Oh, is it you, Will, I thought—why, where are you going?" he asked, as he noted Will with a canvas-covered telescope in hand. "Haven't time to explain now; just let me leave this here, and I'll be over after supper and explain;" and he was gone. That night as Joe was about finishing his supper he heard Will's whistle, and went to the door to greet his friend. "Come in, Will," he said, cordially. "No, thank you, Joe. I was passing and only ran in for a minute to see you." "Come in awhile, Will; come, and have a cookie," urged Mrs. Clinton, hospitably, as she took a plate of tempting cakes from the table. "Thank you, Mrs. Clinton, but I have just had supper, and I'm not a bit humry," said Will. "Walk down to the road with me, Joe." Joe and Will went out into the darkness, and when they had passed the barn Will stopped and said: "I'm going to-morrow, Joe, and I have my clothes in that telescope, but I didn't want your folks to see it——" "Going where?" gasped Joe, at the thought that was in his mind. "I'm going to the city, for I can't stand this life any longer. My clothes are here. May I put them in the barn, and get them early to-morrow?" "What will your folks say?" inquired Joe. "I don't know, but I'll be gone, and I won't be back in a hurry, ether," answered Will. "Good-night." Joe was up earlier than usual and stole down stairs to see Will before he went, and met him coming out of the barn, telescope in hand. "I'd go, too," said Joe, as they shook hands, "but I'll stay till I finish that hill-field of corn, and then I'll come." And he watched Will disappear down the lane. Joe worked hard all that day to finish that hill-field; he urged his team to their utmost limit; he tramped miles as he made the journeys across and across the field, and when he had finished the sun had set and the day was gone. In the gathering gloom he trudged home weary, disatisfied and hungry, and as he put away the team he said half aloud: "I'm done with this slavish life after to-day." "You are late, Joe, and you look tired," said his mother, "eat your supper, for you must be hungry." "I am tired and hungry," said Joe, "and this life is so slavish." Two Kinds of Pelicans. We have in America two kinds of leans, the white and the brown the former, I can only say that not encourage the advances of avian psychologist. Invasions strongholds on remote lake is Manitoba and in Nevada have risen in their complete desertion by white pelican old enough to swine; and success here is doubtful to be looked for so long as this plumaged bird remains a shining for every roving rifleman—Centrally Momentary Relapse. "Mr. Spotcash," said the re-creative "we want to buy a thousand "It's hard, and father was saying he would not know how to run the farm if you were not so strong and willing, doing the work of the best man he ever had. You are a good boy, Joe, and father appreciates it very much." Joe winced somewhat at this open expression of appreciation, blushed and said: "I know father with his lame back can't do much, but I'm——" A knock on the side of the house at the open door interrupted him, and he turned and saw a ragged tramp outlined in the doorway. "Could you help a feller to something to eat, and let me sleep somewhere?" asked a voice in the confidence of one accustomed to begging his way. "Certainly!" quickly replied Mrs. Clinton. "Thank God, we always have enough for ourselves, and some to spare for others. Come in." The tramp, not very old, but with all the marks of a wanderer upon him, boldly entered and took the place Mrs. Clinton set for him, and ate his supper. If apprehension of the merits of a cook, and confidence in the hospitality of the host, are in proportion to the amount one eats then the tramp fully demonstrated both, for he ate an astonishing amount of everything offered. Joe finished his meal in silence. He did not again refer to his hard life, and when the tramp had eaten all he could hold Joe took him to the barn and gave him a bed in the harness-room. "Thank you, young feller," said the tramp as Joe left him, "your mother's a dandy cook, and she don't stop offerin' till a feller's as full as a tick. You're in clover, here." "Think so?" was Joe's non-committal reply as he closed the door and went to the house. Joe went directly to his room, quickly packed his clothes, and then went down the back way and carried them to the barn. Long before day, after a sleepless night, he was up and quietly slipped out of the house for his clothes. As he was leaving the tramp said: "Where are you goin', young feller?" "That's my business," replied Joe, ungraciously. "Look here, boy," and the tramp's voice was tender, "let's sit down a minute and talk this over," and he drew Joe into the harness-room. And somehow Joe told him all. "I thought so, for I saw you bring that bundle here last night, and I knew by your actions what it meant. Don't do it, sonny; stick to your parents a little while longer," advised the tramp. "I ran away once, did just as you are doing now; went to sea in the navy, was gone three years, and when I got back my mother was dead and the home broken up, and I haven't had a home since. Don't go for a month, anyhow, not till you hear from your friend. Promise." Somehow Joe promised, and went back to his room, and when he went to the barn to look after the stock the tramp was gone. The very next Saturday night, a week. Will came back and hurried to find Joe. "Don't go, Joe, the city isn't what those fellows said it was—at least I didn't find it so. I had a little back room where I could scarcely breathe; worked from 6 till 6 in a dark shop for $4 a week, and it took more than that for my board and washing. Got the poorest kind of eating, not as good as we give to tramps, and—and I got so homesick for mother's pies and doughnuts that I couldn't stand it. So I came right home, and I'm going to stay, too, for I found out that nobody cares as much for a fellow as his own folks." "I'm going to stay, Will," answered Joe. No one but Will and the tramp and God knew how near Joe came to running away, and he and God know he was often glad he hadn't—Christian Advocate. Sleep and the Insane. It is commonly supposed that the greatest depth of sleep occurs about the end of the first hour. This, however, is not invariably the rule, according to my own observation in the Cook County (Chicago) Insane Asylum, made some years ago, when I spent two successive nights in hourly testing the depth of sleep by light, sound and touch. A majority of the ten cases I had under observation showed the greatest depth to be at about 3 a.m. More recently Drs. Sante De Sanctis and N. Neyros, at the University of Rome, tested the depth of sleep in four normal persons by pressure upon the temple. One of these showed the greatest depth of sleep in the second and fifth hours, while the others showed the greatest depth between the first and second hours. Talking in sleep is more common than is generally supposed. Armstrong and Child found in 200 students, between the ages of 20 and 80 years, that 41 per cent of the men and 37 per cent of the women talked in their sleep, and most of them could answer questions—Harper's Weekly. THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood diseases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as "The King of Blood Purifiers," and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because "IT CURES DISEASE." It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run-down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains uncontaminated we are fortified against dis- uncontaminated we are fortified against disease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.

We have in America two kinds of pelicans, the white and the brown. Of the former, I can only say that it does not encourage the advances of the avian psychologist. Invasions of its strongholds on remote lake islets in Manitoba and in Nevada have resulted in their complete desertion by every white pelican old enough to spread a wing; and success here is doubtless not to be looked for so long as this snowy-plumaged bird remains a shining mark for every roving riffleman. -Century.

G. Jewett, lawyer, politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying a case in the supreme court in Belfast, Me., his home city. The judge presiding, before being called to the bench, had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain a very high opinion of his ability. In his closing argument, Jewett, in defiance of the rules of the court, started in to read some law to the jury. The court pounded on the bench and said: "Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument." Jewett kept on reading, without so much as a glance at the court. The court in thunderous tones ordered him to stop. Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said: "Did your honor address me?" "I said," roared the judge, "you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument. I will give the law to the jury. What do you suppose the court is here for?" "What is the court here for?" responded Jewett in high falsetto. "I suppose you know, sir, to keep order with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all due respect to the sheriff, sir."—Boston Herald.
