The character and qualifications of its graduates is perhaps the best test of a school's growth and development, and with this as the standard, Lincoln Institute in the hands of President B. F. Allen, enjoys rank as one of the leading institutions of the country. Every year this school reaches a higher, better and larger class of students; every year its own standard of excellence along all educational lines becomes higher and a diploma from Lincoln Institute is now recognized, not only throughout Missouri, but in Oklahoma, parts of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and several other states. Over three hundred students were enrolled this year at the close of the second week and every incoming train brings its quota, in many cases bringing scholars who never before matriculated in a negro school. Lincoln Institute is unique among schools for negroes in having almost continuous sessions. The summer term begins immediately after the close of the spring term and the fall and winter term three weeks after the close of the summer school. If any institution can beat this record, we shall be glad to know of it. Nearly one-third of the graduates from the Half-course or Sophomore Normal course of '06 is teaching upon the certificates received in June. The class numbered nearly sixty and those to whom reference is made consist mainly of young people dependent upon their own resources and who, having taught a few years, will return with the fruit of their labor to complete the full course and receive the life diploma, granted to the graduate from the Senior Normal course. The advantages to be gained from the possession of these certificates and diplomas may be seen at a glance. INDEPENDENCE NOTES Will the superintendent of the A. M.

They are telling a very good story in a certain church congregation of one of the large cities. Recently the pastor of a church preached a sermon on temperance. He expressed himself of the belief that intemperance was frequently a disease, and that sometimes those afflicted could trace back the inception of their desires to their grandfathers. He said he had known instances of sons of sober, temperate men who became victims of the drink habit. On tracing back it was found that their grandfathers had held strong desires for drink. Now, the sermon made quite an impression, particularly upon a member of the congregation who was known to have occasional love for liquor. Not long after the sermon was preached the minister was walking home at night, and he met the member of his congregation who had lapses from sobriety. The man was decidedly the worse from liquor, but he recognized his clergyman, and, not waiting for him to speak, said: "Good evening, Mr. —. Don't you think for a minute that this is me that's drunk. This is my grandfather. I'm all right." TIRED OF PROLONGED SILENCE Mourner Dispelled Gloom of Funeral by His Remark. It was a sultry afternoon for a funeral, and everyone but the corpse was restless and uneasy. Harry Kay the deceased, came from Yorkshire England, early in the '70's and settled on a farm near Scarboro, Me. They were waiting for the minister to arrive and begin the last rites, and the conversation of the mourners, as is usual at a funeral, had been carried on in whispers, and the pauses between were growing longer. Still no minister appeared to break the monotonous silence. Finally, the stillness and inactivity growing more oppressive than he could bear, a ruddy-faced farmer, changing knees and shifting uneasily in his chair, looked up suddenly with a twinkle in his English blue eyes and said, with a good old Yorkshire drawl: "Oo spoke laurst?" Not R. Kipling's Mulvaney. Patrick Mulvaney was on the witness stand during the trial of Capt. Hammer and Hubbard before Judge Cabanness, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Mulvaney objected to going on record as Patrick. He preferred "Pat," as his friends at Fort Bragg did not know him by any other name. Mulvaney, besides being a good witness for the defense, was alry and humorous. As he was leaving the stand, Judge Cabanness asked him: "Have you ever been in India, Mr. Mulvaney?" "No, sor." "Then you don't know your great compatriot Mulvaney?" "No, sor." "Have you ever heard of Rudyard Klipling, Pat?" "No, sor, I have not. But, yer' anner, he don't live in Fort Bragg. I am sure av that," and Mulvaney left the dais with a puzzled look, amid roars of laughter from the assembled crowd Why We Call It "Studio." "Studio" is one of the many foreign words that have acclimatized themselves in the English language. It is a recent import from Italy, unknown to Johnson's dictionary, and apparently not occurring before the nineteenth century; but it has supplied a want. "Study," which is the real English for "studio," suggests a room for reading and writing, and "workroom" lacks distinctiveness. The French get along with "ateller," which literally means a place in which small planks are prepared—in other words, a carpenter's work shop. The Old and the New.

Prof. James W. Baldwin Was Principal of the Sumner School Here. Prof. James W. Baldwin, 45 years old, a Negro, principal of the Sumner school, died at his home, 1612 Lydia avenue, of heart disease. He leaves a wife and a son 12 years old. He was a graduate of Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City. He was also grand priest of the Masonic lodge of Missouri, and was three times president of the state teachers' association. The initial meeting of the university forum of Western University was held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the chapel. The professors, student body and a goodly number of citizens were present. Prof. G. A. Gregg presided. Prof. Shelton French, president, made a most interesting address on "Higher Education—It Relation to the Trades." He placed special emphasis on the urgent demand in all lines of industry for men of character and standing He said there was an increasing demand for educated blacksmiths, carpenters, farmers, etc. He urged the cleanliness of homes and the importance of properly preparing foods, for upon that depends so largely the health of the people. The address was very timely and elicited much favorable comment from Professors Ross, Vaughan, Spurlocal and Gregg. Each Sabbath some lecturer or specialist in some particular line will speak. The citizens are urged to attend and we take occasion here to say that they will be rewarded for all the speakers will have a special message and the list of them is not confined to race or sex but to man or woman who have succeeded along special lines. Dr. T. C. Unthank will address the forum next Sunday afternoon. Cause of Necessity "Ah! wizout her I shall die, mon- steur." "H'm! Starvation, I presume."— Judge.

While the faults of incubation are responsible for many of the deformities found in the chickens, and undoubtedly weaken others in ways which are not so apparent to us, one cannot state that the chickens which come from the egg in developed condition ard can eat ever die on account of weakness due to the incubation, says a report of the Rhode Island experiment station. In my experience so far the weak chickens, when properly handled, seem to have developed and grown as rapidly as the stronger. However, those which were hatched incompletely developed or with crippled members, as the legs or beak, have not been able to survive in all cases. Under the even temperature system, however, the weaklings, when separated into hovers by themselves, grow unexpectedly well, and may attain some weight. As a practical matter, however, all such weaklings and cripples should be destroyed as soon as hatched. To the poultryman who can devote but little attention to them they would prove an annoyance. Chicago Milkmen Prosecuted. The Illinois state dairy and food commissioner has brought about 100 suits against Chicago milkmen for the breaking of the state law relative to signs and names on wagons, selling skim milk for whole milk and for watering milk. Much of the milk being sold for the use of children in the poorer quarters was found to be watered. Some of the cases are due to the use of formaldehyde in the milk, but these cases are not reported numerous. The best part of the prosecutions consists in the publication in the daily papers of the names of the men being prosecuted and the charges against them. Thus in the list printed last week we find that there are charges against 17 for selling adulterated milk, charges against ten for having no labels on their cans of skim milk and also for selling adulterated milk, and against nine for selling skim milk contrary to law and violating the label law. The other prosecutions are for the violation of the label law. Speaking of the crisis in Atlanta, the Son does not know what to contribute this great disaster to, for it one negro has committed a crime up on some white woman, which may be true, is that a reason why every respecting negro of Georgia should be tortured and slain? Why not seek the guilty negro and punish him? The negro wants the law enforced against the rich, the poor, the capitalist, the laborer, the white man, the black man and every other kind of man. The Son believes that if the negro of this country was protected as a man, and a citizen, and was accorded his rights as other races in this country, and was not the victim of mob violence in so many cases in which he is innocent that he would be a better citizen. Is it not true that you can take an animal of any kind and torture him so that he becomes spiteful, mean and treacherous. We ask the white people of this country to reason with us, and weigh us by our deeds. Do you really believe that a Negro in this late day of civilization could be so cruel and violent to go around in back yards and molest white women, when he knows that ropes, bullets, and hell and damnation awaits him? In the language of Joseph, after he had suffered many crucifixions, he cried out: O Lord! How long have I got to undergo this torture?" Today we find ourselves in the same condition. The Son takes this position: What have we done that our punishment here upon earth among the civilized nations is so severe? We would say in a praying land where it is conceded that the world is becoming Christianized and where the tenor of civilization stands out like a shining star, and where the Negroe's blood is shed like innocent lambs led to the slaughter. Oh, Lord, sent unto us a Moses as thou did unto the children of Israel. As the body of John Brown lies mouldering in the clay, and as the spirit of the immortal Lincoln gradually fades away, the voices of Wendel Phillips, Charles Sumner and William Lloyd Garrison are heard no more on the floors of Congress crying out for Negro suffrage. Oh! Lord, help us, each others cross to bear. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. We extend our sympathy to Mr. Henry Gaskins who lost his oldest daughter at 1123 Armstrong Ave. name Mrs. Ella Gaskin Head.

NUMBER 10 The Republican Party has been true to this principle, and it has done more for labor through its economic policies than has any other cause or force. By protection to American industry, it has brought about a revolution in the condition of labor. It abolished slave-labor, and its protective policy has more than doubled the daily wage since the election of Abraham Lincoln. It has written into law all the reforms that have been made to protect employees through factory inspection, mine regulation, the prohibition and regulation of child-labor, the protection and regulation of women who work in factories, the prohibition of the importation of convict labor, and the restriction of the sale of convict labor products at home. There is a good sized volume of Federal law relating to labor, and there are many volumes of such law by Republican States in the North. This law is not simply made for those who are members of labor unions. It is for all labor, and there are according to the census figures, nearly 34,600,000 people in the United States who are in gainful occupations—wage earners. This is nearly 40 per cent of the entire population. The American people are all living by labor. Ours is a labor country and the Republican Party has, in the last century, done just what Mr. Gompers says has been done. It has legislated for labor, to make labor dignified, to better its condition and place labor on a higher plane here than anywhere in the world. The man who wants to identify himself with the real labor party, when he reads the economic history of the United States, will identify himself with the Republican Party and vote the Republican ticket, that President Roosevelt may continue to have a Congress that will follow his recommendations in legislation for still further improvement in the condition of labor in this country. This nation is prospering now as nation has ever prospered. The voters of the country will have it in their own power next November to continue the era of material prosperity by retaining in authority the party under whose policies it has been made possible. They also have it in their means to check the wave of progress by placing the Democratic Party in control of one branch of the national legislature. It will seem quite natural to the old Kansas Cityan to see the steam boat and hear the whistles on the Missouri river once more. KANSAS CITY KANSAS Dr. S. H.

HOW STENSLAND WAS CAPTURED Story of the Pursuit and Apprehension of the President of the Wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State Bank of Chicago. LETTERS IN PRISON THE FIRREST OF STENGLAND SAT ON HIS TRUNK DURING THE JOURNEY TO CONCERAL HIS NAME NEDISTING SUICIDE Run to Earth at Tangier, Morocco, the Man Chiefly Responsible for the Ruin of Thousands of Poor Depositors in His Institution Comes Back to the United States to End His Life in the Penitentiary—Days and Nights of Misery Since His Flight from Chicago. Chicago—The story of the pursuit and capture of Paul O. Stenland, president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank, is one of the most dramatic in the history of those all too frequent events. Traced from this city to Tanglers, Morocco, he was apprehended there by Assistant State's Attorney Olsen, who was accompanied by a representative of the Chicago Tribune. Not less interesting is Stenland's account of the circumstances leading to the wrecking of the bank and the despoiling of thousands of depositors of the poorer class of the savings of their lifetime. Told in detail by the Tribune representative the story is as follows: It was the old story of a woman scorned that led to the finding of Stensland's trail. One of his numerous friends who thought she had been shabbly treated put the authorities in possession of the first hint as to the fugitive's whereabouts. Her information was indefinite, but investigation proved its probable accuracy. Finally, on August 13, it became certain that he was in Tangier and had been for 16 days. The facts were laid before State's Attorney Healy. He was asked if he could send a man with a representative of the Tribune to an unknown destination, where it was expected to find Stensland or his trail. Mr. Healy accepted the proposition and Assistant State's Attorney Harry Olsen was ordered to meet the representative of the Tribune in New York on Monday, August 20. The next day Mr. Olsen and the Tribune man sailed on the liner Kaiser Wilhelm II. Paris was reached Monday, August 27, and was left Tuesday at noon. Madrid was reached Wednesday after- LETTER IN PRISON SAT ON HIS TRUNK DURING THE JOURNEY TO CONCERL HIS NAME moon, August 29, and Gibraltar 26 hours later. On Saturday morning, September 1, the boat was taken for Tangier, the Moorish city being reached early in the evening. Back to Gibraltar. All Saturday night and until four o'clock Sunday afternoon, September 2, the investigation proceeded. At every town Stensland's tracks were uncovered and the last clew pointed to the Grand hotel at Gibraltar. It was as follows: Assistant State's Attorney Olson had represented himself to the keeper of the hotel where Stensland stopped at Tangier as his son. Stensland, as has been stated, is traveling under the alias of P. Olsen. The names were the same and the two men do not look unlik. The hotel keeper believed the story, but could give no direct information as to Stensland's whereabouts --- As he was riding to the hotel at midnight after getting the governor of the French bank out of bed, a voice from a Moorish cafe sung out: "I say, Olson, I think I know where your governor la." We dismantled as the hotel man continued: "You left the old man in 'Gib.' A friend of mine just come over on the night boat says he saw him at the Grand hotel." When we left Tangier Sunday afternoon, September 2, for Gibraltar to run down the Grand hotel clew we left 25 Moorish and Arab scouts to guard all the entrances and exits. Less than an hour after the Oldenburg, the German steamer bearing Stenslund from the Rock to the Moorish coast, reached port our Arab chief of seunts sent a cable to us at Gibraltar announcing the arrival of the boat and the presence on board of the man we wanted. Hired Special Steamer. We began negotiations for a special steamer to bring us back to Tangier. Finally a small steamer was chartered and permission obtained from the officer of the guard to leave port. At midnight we turned tall on the Roek and headed across the straits. It was four o'clock in the morning when we rounded Malabat Point and saw the red light above the gate of the city of Tangier. The steamer Oldenburg lay half a mile off shore. We hauled alongside and asked if the passengers had landed. It was great relief to hear that they had not, as we feared that if so Stensland might have been warned and started for the interior. This would not have prevented his capture, but would have delayed it and made lots of trouble. Stensland Comes Ashore. Forty minutes later a boat put off from the German steamer and headed for the pier. In the stern sat Stensland, looking fat and hearty. He climbed up the steps to the wharf chatting gavly with four German fellow passengers. We trailed slowly behind Stensland up the steep, hilly streets. When the British post office in Soko Chico square was reached Stensland entered. "Any letter for P. Olsen?" he asked. "No, sir." THE ARREST OF STENBLAND NEDITATING SUICIDE "If any comes I want you to please forward it. "All right, sir. Please write your forwarding address," said the clerk, pushing forward the book in which such instructions are written. In a firm hand Stensland had written "P. Olsen, British post office," when Olson and I stepped up. I tapped him on the left shoulder and said: "Write your own name, Stensland, and instead of 'Morgador,' where you think you are going, write it 'Chicago,' where you really are going." Then occurred a sublime flash of nerve on the part of the husky Norseman. Gripping the pen in hand and shaking as if with palsy he forced the pen across the paper and wrote "Mogador" after the name he had already written there before I had interrupted him. Then he turned like a wolf at --- HE CHUMMED WITH MME. YVETTE BETWEEN SONGS HOTEL SNAUGHT OUT A MODEST HOTEL FEAR OF ARREST KEPT HIM CLOSE TO HIS ROOM ASTONISHED THE bay, and, by a supreme effort retaining control of his voice and features, said: "No, no, I think not. You cannot take me. I will not go." "But you will go," he was answered. "Listen. You think this is a protected country. It is not. You made a big mistake. You will be arrested here, thrown into a Moorish prison, then taken aboard a United States warship and shipped in irons to the United States. The question is, do you want to go back as a gentleman or as a felon?" Prisoner Is Obstinate. Stensland was obstinate and declared he could not take him and that HE CHUMMED WITH MME. YVETTE BETWEEN SONGS FEAR KEPT HIM CLOSE T he would not go voluntarily. As a matter of fact, we had no legal right to stop Stensland. Technically we were guilty of kidnaping, and the situation began to look serious. The American minister could not order Stensland's sarrest until he had received instructions from Washington. These had been cabled for the night before, but had not arrived. If Stensland had only known this he could have walked out and told us to go to blazes. He could not have escaped ultimately, but he could have caused us lots of trouble Just as we were about to take recourse to argument and threats, telling him we would follow him to the end of the earth and capture him eventually, salvation came from Minister Gummere. James Martin, of the American legation staff appeared with a note from the minister saying if I had notified the state department he would take the responsibility of detaining Stensland, pending advises from Washington. By this time the fugitive banker had wilted and he agreed to return to America with us any way we chose without process. During the long afternoon in the office of the American consul Stensland talked broken heartedly with us and finally made a full confession to Assistant State's Attorney Olson in my presence. Puts Blame on Cashier. He said: "I cannot understand how the shortage can be $2,000,000. To my certain knowledge my liability to the bank does not exceed $500,000. Anything over that must have been stolen by Hering. "My indebtedness began a long while ago, in 1896. It was a small affair, a small amount, and God knows I never intended to steal. I was in a tight hole and needed money. I put my own note, genuine, not a forgery, in the box. Then it was suggested to me that the bank examiner would stand for it, and he did. "I never threw away money in any direction in my life. I never spent over $5,000 a year. I always was a worker. I never loafed in my life. I always was the first man at the bank and the last to leave it. "The money I took was invested, year after year, in an endeavor to make good. Every dollar went into real estate or business. "They were bad investments and today I am arrested, a fugitive, with the certainty of a prison cell. And I am nearly 60 years old. God! God! God!" As a matter of fact Stensland failed to take the most simple measures to hide his identity. In his trunk were found four volumes of Ibsen, all with Stensland's full name on the flyleaf. His key ring bore the tag of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank. The most amazing blunder of all was across the end of his big trunk in white letters three inches high, "Paul O. Stensland." "I did not notice this," said he "till crossing from Gibraltar. I was leaning over the rail of the upper deck and happened to look down on the main deck and saw my trunk with my full name staring me right in the face. I nearly fainted. I got down as soon as possible and sat on the name for the rest of the voyage." Stensland's life of exile was hell on earth, according to Stensland. From the moment he left Chicago his every waking thought was pregnant with fear and his every sleeping moment filled with terrifying visions. Steenland's Life in Tangier. Stensland evidently thought himself absolutely safe from pursuit, or, like the majority of fugitives, became careless as soon as he set foot on foreign soil. The day after his arrival he amazed Propletor Sterwind by exhibiting, as Sterwind said, "an awful lot of money and a great number of big bills." When he dumped $12,000 on the counter the eyes of the clerk bulged out, and he called M. Gaurant, the governor, who questioned the prospective HOTEL DRAUGHT OUT A NODEST HOTEL OF ARREST TO HIS ROOM ASTONISHED THE BRUNKER WITH DISPLAY OF MONEY customer. Stensland, in answer to M. Gaurant's inquiries, said he came from America, and when further questioned as to why he carried money in such shape and had no letter of credit, said he thought he would get the worst of exchange and concluded it was best to carry currency. Stensland soon became a conspicuous figure in Tangier. The Oriental hotel stands just between the Mosque Dramakebril and the Cafe Francise. Stensland gave the mosque the cold shoulder, but the Cafe Francise, the Cafe Imperial, and the Cafe Turkesque found a good customer in him. Every night he climbed the hills and wound his tortuous way through alley-like streets, from one to the other. Mme. Yvette, at the Francise, was his favorite chanteuse. Spanish Dancer His Favorite But his real favorite was Senorita Vittoria, a Spanish dancer from Seville, who performs with exceptional abandon the fandango at the Cafe Imperial. Her partiality for him aroused a feeling of jealousy in the breast of an Arab chief who enjoyed the smiles of the danseuse until Stensland appeared on the scene. On Friday, September 6, instructions from the state department at Washington were received by Minister Gummere to surrender Stensland to the custody of "James Keeley and Harry Olson as the officially appointed agents of the United States." We gave a formal receipt for the prisoner, Stensland himself signing it as a witness to our signatures. The first step after receiving the prisoner was to arrange for safeguarding him. Accompanied by an attache of the United States consular office, we at once rode to the Kasbah, which is the joint Moorish prison and administrative building. The basha, Sid Cadar Belghasi, was found sitting in the messoar, or "salon of complaints," where he receives those who are wronged and want stern and instantaneous Moorish justice. Through an interpreter we informed the basha that Stensland had been turned over to us and that we wished to make arrangements for porperly safeguarding him until the time of our departure. The basha expressed great appreciation of the honor done him in asking his aid and said that a cell in the prison was at our immediate disposal, at the same time calling an officer of the guard to show it to us. Declined Offer of Cell. The cell was extremely uninviting, and we had heard horrible stories of what had taken place behind the ramparts of the Kasbah. We decided it would be neither humane nor politic to confine Stensland there, as Assistant State's Attorney Olson wanted to bring home a liveman, not a corpse. Arrangements finally were made for a guard of six soldiers under the absolute orders of ourselves. Two were to be placed on the roof, two at the only door, and two inside. The prisoner was moved to his new quarters at once, there to remain until arrangements for transporting him to the United States had been made. September 12 Stensland and his captors left Tangier for New York on a German liner which had called at the port by request of the state authorities at Washington. --- GOOD MANNERS AT TABLE. One of the Earliest Things Child Should Be Taught. While the minor details of table manners vary with the years on broad er lines, they still remain the same—consideration for others, the suppression of animal-like characteristics such as guttony and greediness, and the cultivation of those finer instincts that makes the breaking of bread to gether a beautiful family ordinance not a wild scramble of pigs at trough—an eating to live, not a living to eat. Good manners should be ingrained not superficial, and put on for company. To make them natural, training should be begun as soon as a child is able to sit at the table. If a little one is early taught by example and precept all those little details that mark a person of gentle breeding, he will always appear to advantage and that without self-consciousness. "I always like to take a meal with a man before engaging him for my school," said a prominent educator "No matter how brilliant a record he may have as a scholar, if his manners are boorish I do not care to have him." Boorishness must not be confused with ignorance of "who's who and what's what," in the thousand and one table accessories, knives, forks, spoons, glasses and the like, that no one but the manufacturer can keep tab on. A person may be gentle-mannered and not be able to tell the difference between an olive fork and a butter pick; a bouillon cup and a tea cup, a sherbet glass and one for a cocktail. He shows a distinct lacking in manners, however, when he stabs the bread with a fork, gobbles his food, masticates audibly and with opened mouth, smudges his glass in drinking, talks with his mouth full, shovels in his food with a knife, picks, punches and pokes the general dish of bread, cake or fruit to be sure he is getting the best, or sniffs ostentations by at each article of food as placed before him. Educational Value of a Doll Sir Lauder Brunton's delightful dissertation on dolls at the meeting of the British association should be read, marked, learned and put into practice by all mothers. Every little girl, said Sir Lauder Brunton, should not only possess a doll, but should be taught how to wash it, make cloths for it, how to exercise it, and prepare food for it. Dolly should be a real being to its little owner, and to this end should be a washable, unbreakable and movable piece of mechanism, with hair that will comb and limbs that will not come off. Nowadays one so frequently—too frequently—hears "my little girl does not like dolls." But every wee girl should be taught to love her dolly and care for it. In this way maternal love is fostered, and, what is more, every girl would grow up with as perfect a knowledge of the management of children as she has in the ordinary way of drawing, music or needlework. The Kitchen Sink The ideal sink is of porcelain with rolled edge, round corners, porcelain back and open plumbing without a crack or crevice for dirt or the ever-ready water bug. He is ready still, but he must live in the open and not lie concealed. A white enamel sink is almost as good as the porcelain and much less expensive. Soapstone and slate are very good, and so, too, is the copper-lined sink. The great danger to the porcelain and enameled sinks is the breaking of delicate china and glass. The copper lining is much the best for that. The wooden drain boards tipping slightly toward the sink are a great convenience. Frequently rubber mats with roughened surface are placed in these to keep the dishes from slipping. There are, besides, wire and nickel-plated dish trainers, which will keep the plates separated one from another while training.—Harper's Bazar. Eggs Astoria. With Tomatoes. Cut some large tomatoes in halves, flip each piece into melted butter or oil, then in fine bread crumbs, and roll over a clear, slow fire. Put these where they will keep hot. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, and add six beaten eggs; add five tablespoonfuls of water, salt, black pepper, a little paprika, and, after stirring a minute, five tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Have ready some rounds of buttered toast, and as soon as the cheese is melted and the eggs set, cover the toast with the mixture; on each round put a round of tomato, broiled side up; serve hot.—Harper's Bazar. The Use of Rouge. If the tiniest touch of rouge makes you look younger and brighter, there's no particular law against your using it. The only trouble with things of this sort is that after a time a woman becomes careless and uses her makeup too freely, after which she may expect all sorts of unkind criticism from all beholders. Probably the best rouge is the imperceptible crimson stick which is made in Paris, and which may be purchased in Chicago for 25 cents. It does not injure the skin in the least. Egyptian Coffee. Egyptian coffee is the most primitive of all. After it has been roasted in a kind of brazier it is pounded in a stone bowl while still hot, and with a sufficient quantity of water boiled until it becomes a sort of paste. It is then ready to serve with a rose leaf floating on the beverage. Very unatractive this sounds, and, in truth, the beverage is generally bitter and un palatable. PERUNA PRAISED. MRS. ESTHER M. MILNER. MRS. ESTHER M. MILNER. Box 321, DeGraff, Ohio, Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir:— I was a terrible sufferer from pelvic weakness and had headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition as nearly as possible. You recommended Peruna. I took four bottles of it and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends with the very best of results. Esther M. Milner. Very few of the great multitude of women who have been relieved of some pelvic disease or weakness, by Perma ever consent to give a testimonial to be read by the public. There are, however, a few courageous, self-sacrificing women who will for the sake of their suffering sisters allow their cures to be published. Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her gratitude for her restoration to health she is willing that the women of the whole world should know it. A chronic invalid brought back to health is no small matter. Words are inadequate to express complete gratitude. It's a case of unspeakable misery when a woman has no one to talk to. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. For children teething, softens the gums, relieves inflammation and cures wind colds. See a letter. Passport Hard to Forge. When a traveler in China desires a passport the palm of his hand is covered with fine oil paint and an impression is taken on thin paper. This paper officially signed, constitutes his passport. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. Salvation Army for Russia. Russia may soon be invaded by the Salvation Army. The czar's opposition to the movement has been partly overcome, through the efforts of Gen. Booth's agents at St. Petersburg and Moscow and the sympathy of prominent Russians. Why Music Attracts Spiders. It has often been said that spiders are fond of music, but a French investigator, M. Lecailou, now asserts that this is not true. He says that their musical sense must be attributed merely greed or to hunger. When a fly is caught in a spider's web it buzzes, and the spider immediately makes for the place from which the buzzing comes. M. Lecailou, by experimenting with a violin, some flies, a piano, violoncello and a cornet, found that only those musical sounds which resembled the buzzing of the flies attracted the spiders. The cornet, for instance, invariably frightened it, and so did the piano. DOCTOR DESPAIRED Anzamic Woman Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Recommend the Pills to All Others Who Suffer. Anemia is just the doctor's name for bloodlessness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anemia as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thomas J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., who says: "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there same a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had nausea and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "Before very long after I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headaches, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended the pills to lots of my friends." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Round About New York Information and Gossip Gathered by Our Correspondent—Tin Plate Magnate Weds Stage Favorite—Newspaper Man Wins Heiress—New Form of Gambling. NEW YORK.—Another stage beauty has captured the heart of a Gotham millionaire and retired from the glare of the footlights to the quietude of domestic life. This time it is Miss Mabel Carrier, who won the admiration of theater goers last season in "A Chinese Honeymoon," playing a minor part. Miss Carrier is now the wife of Daniel G. Reid, one of the prominent figures in New York's financial world, tin plate and railroad magnate, whose wealth is estimated at between $25,000,000 and $40,000,000. No formal announcement has been made by Mr. Reid of his marriage and the date on which the ceremony was performed has not been made public, but it is known that the wedding took place several weeks ago. Mr. Reid's name has been linked with that of Miss Carter for the last year, but with characteristic secrecy he refused to let any of his of Miss Carter for a acteristic secrecy h friends know of his love for the beautiful young matter recalled the manner in which he con- marriage, in 1904, to Clarisse Agnew, a chorus died within a year after the ceremony.

His attitude in the matter recalled the manner in which he concealed the fact of his second marriage, in 1904, to Clarisse Agnew, a chorus girl of marked beauty, who died within a year after the ceremony. The new Mrs. Reid is about 23 years old, and was born in Detroit. She is tall and statuesque, and strikingly handsome. Her stage career has been brief, her first engagement being with "A Chinese Honeymoon" last year. She next appeared in an important role in "The Runaways," and her last engagement was with the "West Point Cadet," which had a short life at the Princess theater in New York. Mr. Reid is 48 years old, and has been married twice before. With William B. Leeds he organized the tinplate trust, out of which he made a fortune.

CARRY BUSINESS TO LUNCHEON TABLE. Those who take a casual view of the great restaurants in the lower part of the city at midday are likely to think that New York business men live in sybaritic luxury. The appointments of the tables, the excellence of the food and the leisurely dallying over coffee and cigars which have of late become comitants of a luncheon might be taken to mean that the 'quick lunch' habit had entirely disappeared and that men had taken to rational ways of eating. All of this looks well, but as a matter of fact the luncheon has become a business function, as much as any other duty connected with office or counting room. Over the tables, where napery and silver gleam, are discussed contracts and deals and margins. The restaurant for the time becomes a mart or a rendezvous, and everything is seasoned with shop.

Hundreds of the little crafts may be seen skimming the waters of the sound and harbor. There are so many of them now that all aquatic sports are undergoing a sea change. Some motorboatists get the disease by first acquiring a catboat and others again are possessed with a mania for speed, acquired on land in an ordinary automobile. Few enthusiasts have started out deliberately to submit themselves to this strange fascination. They begin by spending money for sioops or cats and the microbe which fastens the motor boat habit on them selzes them about the time they buy a small auxiliary gasoline engine for their sailing craft.

Nevertheless there of motor boats, and their GROWING POPULARITY OF BALLOONING WITH SOCIETY Clubs in England and France Which are Finding Recreation in New Diversion. M. V. 1920 Harvesters in English Field Helping to Secure Balloon After Voyagers It is curious how often the old saying comes true, that "History repeats itself;" and this is most forcibly shown in the return to popularity of ballooning. In the eighteenth century we read a good deal of the delights of ballooning, both as a sport for men and women, and it has gone on ever since up to the last five years, when, on the formation of an English Aero club, the sport has been brought before public notice, and taken up by society in general. Some years before the formation of an English Aero club, France boasted of one composed of many hundreds of enthusiastic members, a great number of whom own private balloons. Undoubtedly France offers more facilities for ballooning, in that it is not an island, and so there is more chance of making long journeys, as in the British Isles the wind is sure to take you in a very short space of time to the sea, while it is not always strong enough to insure a safe descent on the other side. In spite of this one drawback, England is a delightful place to balloon in for those who are content with a journey of a few hours; but if a journey running into days is contemplated, then it is necessary to go over to France and make a start from there, preferably from Paris, where every facility is offered to the aeronaut. The most astonishing part of ballooning is the variety of temperature one is likely to encounter. It may be snowing on the earth, and yet, when the clouds have been passed through, one finds brilliant sunshine and blue sky above, while, looking down, the clouds appear as a great ocean. The illusion is very remarkable. Again, when descending in a snow storm, it Harvesters in English Field Helping appears to be snowing upwards, owing to the balloon falling faster than the snowflakes. To turn for a moment from the enjoyments of ballooning to its disadvantages, the most prominent one, to my mind, is the impossibility to steer a balloon, and hence one cannot reach a desired point unless the wind chooses to oblige you. There is no doubt that a "conveyance," be it aeroplane or balloon, will soon be invented, when this drawback will be overcome, but not without many experiments and possibly loss of life. The combination of gas and an electric spark is most dangerous, so we shall probably see the aeroplane taking the place of a gas-balloon in the near future. Regarding the utility of balloons, this word can hardly be applied to them as articles of use for the general public, for the reasons before stated. Nevertheless, in the army they are of great service. In the first place, they have enabled people to get out of sieged towns; and secondly, by being sent up captive, a great area of country can be seen at one time. To enjoy a balloon trip thoroughly one must be properly dressed for the occasion; for women, a short coat and skirt is the best thing to wear. It is not while actually in the balloon that the benefit of this attire is felt, but on descending, when nine times out of ten there is a walk of several miles to be done to reach the nearest railway station, while probably the balloon and basket have to be packed into the only available cart. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of ballooning is what is known as "trailing." This consists of letting a rope about 250 feet long hang over the side of the balloon basket and trail over the country beneath, just touching the ground. To be so near the earth, and yet just to be able to sail over house-tops and tree-tops, gives one the sensation the nearest akin to flying, as when one is soaring in higher altitudes one loses all sense of movement or judgment of distance. The entire absence of giddiness which seems almost incredible to those who have not tried ballooning is entirely due to this inability to measure distance. I suppose there is hardly ever a time on this earth when one could say there --- was absolute silence; it is either broken by the whistle of a locomotive or the bark of a dog, or maybe it is simply the breeze rustling the leaves of the trees. In the higher altitudes, however, the silence is complete in deed, and is one of the most noticeable things on a first balloon trip. It may not be generally known that if a balloon is left to itself it will come down to earth of its own accord after a certain time, but it requires, of course, all the skill of the experienced aeronaut to effect a safe descent. The art in descending without an undue "bump," is to let out just the right quantity of gas and to check the fall of the balloon at the right moment by throwing out sufficient quantity of "ballast." Sometimes it is necessary to come down very fast—should, for instance, the air suddenly loom in the distance—but there is nothing more unpleasant; so when any obstacle is sighted which necessitates descending, ample time to come down should be allowed, and thus insure a "soft" descent. Another form of aerial navigation is the kite. This is being largely used for army purposes, being more compact than a balloon and requiring no preparation beforehand. When it is too windy to send up a captive balloon, a kite is of especial service, as the greater the force of the wind the greater the lifting power of the kite. On a windy day at Aldershot one often sees a man suspended some five or six hundred feet from the earth by a string of kites. There are two most necessary things to impress on the novice—first, that on no consideration must be or she alight from the balloon when once inside without first giving warning to to Secure Balloon After Voyager the rest of the passengers, and then he must alight without relaxing his hold on the side of the balloon-basket. Should he omit to do this, the balloon, relieved of so much weight, would shoot upwards at a far greater speed than is either safe or pleasant for the remaining occupants of the car. The second point to remember is, when the balloon is descending for good, to raise the feet from the bottom of the basket by means of holding on to the ropes above with the hands, and keeping the knees bent until the balloon-car has received the first shock from contact with the earth. The day may soon come when a balloon "garage" will be as necessary a part of one's house as a motor garage is at the present time. VERA F. BUTLER. His Usual Habit. A local pastor tells the story, with one of his brother clergyman as the subject. It appears that when some men wish to "swear off" from the use of intoxicating liquor, they feel surer of themselves to take the pledge with a clergyman as witness. The pastor in question was awakened one night shortly after retiring by the frantic ringing of his doorbell. Hastily donning a few garments, he went to the door and admitted a rather dilapidated specimen of humanity, quite obviously endeavoring to recover from the effects of over-indulgence in the flowing bowl, or its modern equivalent, the bell-shaped glans "Wanter take th' plesh, pleash," he carefully articulated. The clergyman hesitated, but finally decided that the man was penitent enough to realize what he was doing, and started to prepare the document. "How long do you want to take it for?" he asked "A year, or two years, or longer?" The visitor looked at him in some surprise, and then replied, with evident feeling: "Guess I'd besher take it for life Uzhily do." The clergyman promptly declined to continue with the ceremonies, but preserved the story for relation at the next ministers' meeting.—Providence Journal. AARON BURR JURY. TS SELECTION WAS A LONG, TE DIOUS PROCESS. fate of the Defendant Rested in the Hands of Those Who Were His Avowed Enemies—Chosen by Burr Himself. Only four of the first panel of 48 salesmen summoned for jury duty had undecided opinions about Burr and only one of those four expressed himself as entirely unprejudiced concerning him. The other 44 were so reconcilably hostile that the court promptly discharged them and another panel was summoned, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. This second lot, however, was worse than the first and the situation grew more and more serious as the sitting process continued, one candidate after another expressed open hostility and even hatred for the defendant. At last when hope of securing an impartial jury had almost faded a salesman by the name of Morrison took the stand who, it was believed, would prove an exception to the rule. This gentleman had apparently kept an open mind on the subject of the prisoner's innocence or guilt and was willing to serve as a juror—almost too willing it seemed to the defense—and Mr. Botts rose to cross-examine. "Are you a freecolder?" asked the counsel. "Yes; I have two patents for land," answered the candidate. "Are you worth $300?" continued the examiner. "Yes," snapped the witness. "I have a horse here worth half of it." "Have you another at home to make up the other half?" jocosely pursued the attorney and the audience laughed. "Yes, four of them?" retorted the talesman, angrily. "I am surprised there should be so much terror to me," he continued, addressing the audience; "but perhaps my name may be a terror," he added, his voice rising to a shout, "for my name is Hamilton." This "unprejudiced" candidate was then excused and for 14 days the weary search continued without success. Not one impartial citizen was discovered in the entire second panel; and at this juncture the proceedings were brought to a standstill. After some discussion, however, the defense suggested that it be allowed to select anyone it chose from the last panel; and the acceptance of this unique proposition paved the way for one of the most startling moves in this extraordinary trial. Strictly speaking, not one of the proposed jurors was eligible to a seat if the jury box, but of course some of them were less bitter; against the defendant than others and it was natural to suppose that Burr's adviser, would take advantage of that fact and choose the best of a bad lot. Nothing so commonplace, however, characterized their plans and to the utter amazement of all outsiders Burr proceeded to nominate the most objectable talesman of the entire list inexplicable as this surprising maneuver must have been to the general public, it was, of course, instantly comprehended by the opposing counsel. Burr and his advisers doubtless reasoned that the safest jurors would be those whose hostility had been most thoroughly exposed. The very fact that he was willing to place his life in the hands of his avowed enemies was, of course, the most eloquent protest of innocence which a prisoner could make. JAPANESE NATION OF WORKERS Everybody Manages to Keep Busy in Land of the Mikado. Everybody in Japan appears to do work of some kind; is it a country without boggars, without drunk ards, and all are polite and good natured. Nothing is heard or seen of the effect of the recent war. The people neither talk about it nor have they become overhearing or in any manner intoxicated by their great dictories, but have quietly gone to work to develop their industries, to increase their commerce and trade and to get a fair control over the new markets which the success of their army has opened for them. A tendency to exclude other nations from these markets does not exist, the uniform and repeated assurance being readily given by Japan's leading statesmen, that the promise of the "open door" in Korea and Manchuria will, as far as Japan is concerned, be strictly carried out. Korea itself is gradually getting under effective Japanese control and administration, which will be of much benefit to the entirely out-of-date country, the resources of which appear to have been dormant for centuries; these with proper and intelligent administrative methods should promise rich results. The natural resources of Japan itself are probably somewhat limited, but its people are frugal, intelligent and energetic, and the burdens which the late war has imposed do not appear to weigh heavily upon them.

Burning Off Paint Makes Insurance Void. It seems that considerable danger to property exists in the practice of burning off old paint before repainting. The question has long been a subject of debate in the technical journals, and now householders and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and have looked sadly at the size of our painting bill because of the time wasted on this preliminary work, are interested in the investigation by the Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette and Courier, which gives considerable space to the reasons for the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one's house in order to get the old paint off. It says: "There is a good deal of discussion among householders as to the desirability, in painting houses, of burning off the old paint, a practice that has grown very common of late in Greenfield and elsewhere. Insurance men are strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused in this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten afire as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result. "It is undoubtedly true that when a house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an accumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these accumulations it is almost sure to blister. To burn it off is the quickest and cheapest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint." The Gazette and Courier quotes certain old patrons to the effect that accumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old timers lay the blame partly on the painter who fails to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of painting in damp weather or not allowing sufficient time for drying between coats, and partly to the use of adulterated paints instead of old fashioned linseed oil and pure white lead. The paper says: "Many of the old householders say that if care is taken at all these points it is absolutely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should buy their own materials, and to have them put on by the day, so as to be sure to get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly increases the cost of the job." The trouble householders everywhere have with paint is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the necessity for the dangerous practice of burning old paint is the use of poor material. The oil should be pure linseed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. Earthy substances, and pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used as cheapeners, to the great detriment of the paint. Painters rarely adulterate white lead themselves and they very seldom use ready prepared paints—the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white lead because the property owner insists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name of some reliable brand of white lead, and see that the keg is marked with that brand. The linseed oil is more difficult to be sure of, as it is usually sold in bulk when the quantity is small; but reliable makers of linseed oil can be learned on inquiry, and, if your dealer is reliable, you will get what you want. Pure white lead and linseed oil are to necessary to good paint that the little trouble necessary to get them well repays the house owner in dollars and cents saved. Serve as IllumInants The firefiles of Jamaica emit so brilliant a light that a dozen of them enclosed within an inverted tumbler. All enable a person to read or write at night without the least difficulty. Indeed, it is an expedient to which many resort. These files are in size as large as a common hive bee, and perfectly harmless. Their appearance in unusual numbers acts as a barometer to the natives, and is an indication of approaching rain. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Declance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

Unthank as Negro leader of Jackson county. The policy of the Son has always been Republican, and will not leave the party on the account of one or two men. We believe our salvation politically yet les in the Republican party, Negroes need to pay more attention to the inside, ‘There are some things that face powder and hair straight: eners cannot do, Clean thinking tells in the countenance and clean living speaks for itself, Our enterprises fail because we do not begin right, No institution, re- Ugious or charitable, can expect to prosper so long as it has immoral women at its head. ‘The foundation must be right and the motives must be good and pure. Negroes are not the first people that have been seourged for unfaith: fulness. The Israelites had a hard time of it, before they learned to cast away thelr idols and seek protection from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and we must make our church: es something stronger and holier than mere money exchanges or meeting places to vie with each other in showy clothing and give invitations to parties and dances. We must demand more of those whom we allow to pose as leaders, and especially of those who teach our young, It is high time that our school teachers felt the responsibility of their positions enough to cause them to seek out good families in which to find homes, and so conduct themselves as not as to bring re proach upon no one. What can we expect of children who daily discuss the moral life of their teacher? And now we have another vital campaign issue, thanks to the Demo- cratic managers, who are appealing for money to enable them to elect a Democratic House of Representa- tives, in order to institute an investl- gation into the management of the Executive Departments. One would presume from the appeal that such investigation would disclose all the various forms of corruption that could be enumerated, for Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic Congressional Com- mittee, says: “A Democrat can will investigate every department of the Government. ‘With all these honey-combed with ‘graft,’ the edges of which only have been touched by recent exposures and Prosecutions, there will be a revela- tion of rottenness that will astound the country and create a demand for @ Democratic Administration to clean the Government workshop.” Such an issue is most important, though not a novel one, It was raised in 1884, and after Grover Cleveland was elected with a Demo- -eratle House and each Department had a Democratic head, the most thorough investigation was made but with bare results, Not a penny had gone astray, not an official was found to be corrupt, not a single malfeas ance was disclosed, In 1893 the Democrats came into full power and control of the Govern: ment, and again every nook and cor: her was searched, and again it was Dund that under Republican manage: ment not a cent had been stolen, and not an official or clerk had been corrupt.

Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stampeded by the clamor which is being raised againat the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place "were not the black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier, in uniform, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned, the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to any- body. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine, The streets of Brownville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct: themselves with propriety. After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade a party ot Negro soldiers raided a saloon, and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost, This 1s deplorable, and the Negro culprits should be pun- ished, But what about the white of. fender who started the disorder? Is there to be no punishment for him? Is the black man, even when he wears the United States uniform, to be as sailed when he walks the streets peacefully, Race prejudice is strong in Brownville.

INDUSTRY & MECHANICS Blow of the Hammer Is Accomplished by the Presence of a Lever. Two Kansas inventors attiving at the conclusion that there is more power in the leg than in the arm, have applied the principle to the hammer, instead of swinging the hammer over the head, the blow is accomplished by the pressure of a foot lever. Perhaps the most significant part of the invention is the fact that only ordinary pressure is required to release the hammer, strong springs regulating the force of the blow. An additional advantage is that the hammer can be swung laterally to strike different portions of the face of the anvil. By referring to the illustration the operation will be obvious. The hammer is attached to a specially formed handle, the latter being pivotally mounted upon the base, which stands directly in back of the anvil. At the right side of the anvil is the treadle, which extends backward to the base, to which it is pivoted. An iron chain connects with the shaft at the top of the base and the treadle, and when pressure is applied to the treadle it is transmitted to the shaft, and by a reverse action of the mechanism the hammer descends. When the treadle is released a spring at the back pulls A Foot Power Swings the Hammer. the hammer up from the anvil, the movement being limited by a catch at the side of the treadle, preventing the latter from rising above a certain point. The treadle being attached to the chain, and the latter to the shaft operating the hammer, the upward movement of the hammer is also limited. Splitting Granite with Air. The expansive force of compressed air is employed in a very interesting way by the North Carolina Granite company. On a sloping hillside, composed of granite which shows no bed planes, but splits readily in any direction when started, a three-inch bore is sunk about eight feet deep, and the bottom is enlarged by exploiting a half-stick of dynamite. A small charge of powder is fired in this hole, which starts a horizontal crack or cleavage, says the Youth's Companion. Charges increasing in size are exploded until the cleavage has extended over a radius of 75 or 100 feet. Then a pipe is cemented into the bore, and the air is forced in, under a pressure of from 80 to 100 pounds. The expansion of the air extends the cleavage until it comes out on the surface on the slope of the hill. A horizontal sheet of granite several acres in extent may be separated Picture of a Burning Diamond. A diamond burning in the electric are was lately exhibited on a screen by Sir William Crookes. The stone could be seen to sprout and swell and blacken under the intense heat until nothing remained but a swollen lump of graphite. Pests Quickly Driven Pests Quickly Driven from the Golf Links. A Barrow Load of Worms. The presence of angle worms in the ground soon becomes a pest on a golf links or other stretch of well kept grass, but a marvelous way of getting rid of them has been recently discovered and made use of in England. The accompanying pictures were made at a test which took place at the Mid-Surrey golf links at Richmond, England, says the Montreal Herald. The exterminator was scattered over the FOOT-POWER HAMMER. --- A LOCOMOTIVE TIRE. Use Which Some Towns Make of Them When Worn Out. In many of the smaller cities where an electric fire alarm has not yet been installed, wormout or cracked tires from the driving wheels of locomotives are used in place of fire bellts. The cost is less, the sound is very penetrating and is unlike a bell. For many years Marengo, Ill., used one of these tires before alarm boxes were put in. W. F. Mead, of that place, furnishes a sketch which will indicate the manner 4 X 4 WIRE IRON The Locomotive Tire Fire Alarm. of erecting the tower, which in this case was on top the fire-engine house. The tire was hung by an iron ring from a cross piece, but some towns erect a 20 or 30-foot tower on the ground. The striker has an iron ball at each end, with two wires passing down to the ground floor, one of which is grasped by each hand. By this means more rapid strokes can be sounded than on a bell. POISON INDICATOR. No Chance of Anyone Mistaking Contents of the Bottle. The old story of the unfortunate who drank the contents of a bottle containing a deadly poison in mistake for another medicine is almost a daily news item in the newspapers. In fact, an economical editor once suggested that the item be kept standing in type, the only necessary change from day to day being that of the Indicates Poisonous Contents. victim. In order to lessen the number of mistakes of this kind a southern inventor has devised the "poison indicator" shown in the accompanying illustration. Undoubtedly it would prove effective wherever used. It is made entirely separate from the cork, and can readily be transferred from an unused bottle to another. The skull and crossbones would be sufficient indication of the contents in the daytime, while its peculiar shape would serve the same purpose at night. At the bottom of the indicator is a pin in by which it is held in place in the cork. en from the Golf Links. the ground and the field then generously watered and in less than three minutes, the surface of the ground was covered with thousands of the worms, which had been driven from their holes. One square yard of earth was photographed and found to contain no less than 900 worms. The barrow-load also shown in the accompanying illustration, was gathered up with a rake.. THE HISTORY OF POLICEMAN FLYNN BY ELLIOTT FLOWER HE ADVISES HIS DAUGHTER. "How's th' kids, Maggie?" asked Policeman Barney Flynn, as he settled himself for his regular smoke one evening. "I wish, father," replied his daughter, with that dignity that a year or so as a school-teacher always gives to a young woman, "that you would not call me Maggie. It is so plebsian. My name is Marguerite." "Oho! listen to that, now!" exclaimed Policeman Flynn. "Ye was ch-ristened Maggie, but ye-er na-ame is Margareet. M-m-m, now, I wonder whin th' Princh creep' into th' fam'ly an' how't was done. I niver hear-rd iv wan iv ye-er ancistors that wu'd Iave a Frinchman near without er-rackin' him on th' head.

"Tis tin dollars to tin cints th' gazabo that that's callin' to see ye has put ye up to changin' a fine na-ame." "He's a very excellent young man, father," answered the girl spiritedly. "Mebbe so, but I ha-ave me doubts," asserted Policeman Flynn. "I sh'dn't ta-ake him fr wan havin' th' r-right sort it shuffin in him. There do be too much palaverin' an' side-shteppin' an' bowin' about him fr to ca-atch me eye." "He's a man of polished manners, father," insisted the girl, and I regret to say your manners lack polish." "R-right ye are," returned Policeman Flynn. "Accordin' to th' po-ils r-rules I have to polish me boots an' me buttons an' me ba-age an' me belt, an' it is little time I have lift fr to polish me manners. But I have that go. How a' th' kids behavin'?" "Do you refer to the scholars, father?" "Maggie, I'd advise ye to be careful how ye provoke th' ol man," said Policeman Flynn warningly. "T' is not if you to be ray-provin' iv me. Wanst more I sa-y to ye, How's th' kids?" "Why, to tell the truth, father," answered the girl, seeing that it was dangerous to be too particular about the use of words, "I have been having some trouble with the larger boys. They lack proper discipline, and I give a good deal to discover some way to control them." "M-m-m, now, that 's too ba-ad," commented Policeman Flynn, reflectively. "Ye sh'u'd 'ave come to me befoor, fr't is on thim things I'm poshied. I sup-spose th' wa-ay Cassidy controlled th' wa-ard caucus w'u'd n't fr ye. Oho! 't was a gr-rest sight, was that! Ye see, Cassidy was th' chair-man, an' there was some la-ads that was afther r-runnin' things their own wa-ay. They w'u'd n't listen to him, an' whin he'd pounded a hoie in t' table he up an' let go with th' gavel." "Threw it at the bolsterous ones?" asked the girl. "He did that same," answered Policeman Flynn, "an't th' gla-ass iv wather follled th' gavel an' th' pitcher wint afther th' gla-ass, an' he was takin' off his boots fr to heave at thim whin ordher was reshtored. Ye might thry it, Maggie—all but th' boots. Ye ha-ave an ink-shtand an' a r-ruler an' things on ye-er desk, ye ye not?" "I'm afraid the board of education would object to such methods," said the girl, smiling at the absurdity of the plan. "Mebbe so," returned Policeman Flynn. "I've been ferninst th' like mesif. Ye mustn't be ye-er pris'ner all up, says th' capt'n, an' t' is a ha-ard thing fr to control a ba-ard man without I'avin' ma-arks on him, but there do be wa-ays iv doin' it. Ye might backheel wan iv thim, Maggie. Ye ha-ave to be quick, but ye can throw him ha-ard an' tell th' board he shtumbled." "That would hardly do either," asserted the girl. "Thin pick out th' biggest wan an' poke him in th' shtummick. 'T is not a fair blow in a reg'lar fight, but 't is most discouragin' to th' felly that's hit an' it a good lesson to th' others. I niver knew a felly that got a poke in th' shtummick to wa-ant to go on fightin'. An' it laves no ma-ark on him." "The girl smiled again and shook her head. "Sta-amp on his fut, thin," suggested Policeman Flynn as a last resort. "Wan good bong on th' toes 'till all th' throuble, an' if ye're shpy ye can do up tin or ilin viv thim befoor they know ye're sta-arted." "I think, father, you 'd better leave the management of my school to me," said the girl. "Oho! ye're too sma-art fr to take th' advice iv thim that's been infoorecn' ordher since befoor ye was bor-rn," retorted Policeman Flynn in a tone that showed he was offended by her apparent lack of appreciation. In consequence she deemed it wise to change the subject. "Father," she said, "why are you so prejudiced against the young man who—" "Don't talk to me iv that gazebo," interrupted Policeman Flynn, surmising at once who was meant. "I don't like his tallygeggin' wa-ays. Why don't he come here like a ma-an an sa-ay, 'Is Maggle home?' instid iv, 'Will ye be so kind as to ta-ake me ca-ard in to Miss Flynn?' Ooh! whin I was coorint. ye-er mother things was diff'rint. A felly had to be a ma-an thin an 'talk r-right out plain instid iv sindin' boo-queets with a book teilin' iv what th' flowers shtand r.

"It's a very pretty way,' insisted the girl, "and he is a man of both courtesy and courage. The trouble is you have not been brought up in the same atmosphere." "I'll thry him," said Policeman Flynn, decisively. "Please don't do anything rash, father," urged the girl. "T' will not be r-rash," answered the policeman. "T' wu'd be r-rash in th' ol' da-ays, but not with th' feilies that go coortin' now." Now, as a matter of fact, Policeman Flynn's daughter was quite right. The young man was a most estimable youth, but Flynn did not understand him. The latter thought he detected weakness where there was none, because in his youthful surroundings young man had been judged by a rougher standard. So he acted in perfect good faith when he undertook to show Maggie that her idol was made of an inferior article of clay. To do this he deemed it necessary to take radical action, so he entered the room one evening when the young man was calling, and exclaimed, gruffy: "T is time ye slant th' young felly home, Maggie. Ye ha-ave ye-er wor-rk to do to-morry, and 't is a sha-ame he sh'u'd be keepin' ye from ye-er rist. I'll not ha-ave it anny more." "Thereupon the young man rose up suddenly, and before Policeman Fyinn fully realized what had happened he found himself sitting on the ground outside the window, where the dispised dude had dropped him. He got up, shook himself and limped back into the house. The girl was frightened A man lies on the floor, looking up at two men standing in the window.

"I wr-ronged ye," he said. "Ye ha-ave th' r-right shuffu in ye' fr to ma-ake anny woman happy. 'T was me intition to ma-ake a small sacrifice on th' alhar iv me juty to Maggie, an I'l sa-ay this to ye as ma-an to ma-an.

It is not often that a class of school children is permitted to examine its teacher, but the New York Tribune tells of a Glasgow pedagogue who was so pleased at the way his pupils answered his questions in an examination that he told them they could ask any question they liked. No one took advantage of the offer, and the teacher was about to dismiss the class when he noticed one little chap in deep thought. "Well, what is it?" he asked. "I was just about to ask you, sir," replied the youth, "whether, if you were in a soft mud heap up to your neck and I was to throw a brick at you, would you duck?" DIETS AND THE DOCTORS. Scarcely an article of Food That Is Not Condemned. With what the vegetarians who eat so meat and the rheumatic sufferers who eat no fruit and the gouty who takes no nitrogen if they knew it and the dyspeptics who eat only foodless foods, life stands to lose one of its chief joys, a square meal, says the Medical Journal. And it is not quite true that instinct rises superior to theory and that after all people eat what is good for them. Readers and thinkers are deeply influenced by chemical symbols and it is not rare for a pallid dyspeptic of thereulosis tendencies to endeavor to practice the economies of metabolism ingeniously set forth by some of the physiological chemists. It is high time somebody raised a voice in protest, for surely no people stand is so little need of this counsel as do ours. Our hustling population requires a good deal of nutriment and is suffering from lack rather than repletion. As a race possibly we have not lived long enough in America to be thoroughly acclimated. * * * We speak of the effete populations of Europe, but no one who has seen them would ever call the European peoples effete, and the impression is inefaceable that what we need here is better cooked food and more of it, rather than the diet of fads that now captivate our nerves countrymen. It would certainly be difficult to construct any scheme of diet on which the profession would agree. There is scarcely an article but finds condemnation somewhere among us. The banana, dear to childhood, is denounced by the paediatrist as unwholesome, though whole populations live upon it; while no printed diet list would include pork and bacon, which Dr. Woods Hutchinson insists are the keystones of our national greatness. Even in the dietetics of disease—this rather than health be our chosen realm—utter confusion and disagreement reign. Chemical formulas of horrifying elaboration lead one to condemn red meat in gout, another to pronounce it a nutriment readily assimilable and easily disposed of. And the quarrels over foodstuffs permissible to the rheumatic are equaled only by those over carbohydrates in grave diabetes. It is a crying need of the time that the profession reaches a consensus of conviction and teachings on the basic facts of nutrition in health and disease before they attack the more venial superstitions and aburdities of a much beset laity. First of all, brethren, shall we not cast out the beam that is in our own eye? TYPICAL INDIANS. The Average Person So Consider Northwest Plains Tribes. The northwest plains Indian is, to the average person, the typical American Indian, the Indian of our school-day books—powerful of physique, statuesque, gorgeous in dress, with the bravery of the firm believer in predestination, says Scribner's Magazine. The constant, fearless hunting and slaughtering of the buffalo trained him to the greatest physical endurance, and gave an inbred desire for bloodshed. Thousands of peace-loving, agricultural living Indians might climb down from their cliff-perched homes, till their miniature farms, attend their flocks, and at night time climb back up the winding stairs to their home in the clouds, and attract no attention. But if a fierce band of Sioux rushed down on a hapless emigrant train the world soon learned of it. The culture of all primitive peoples is necessarily determined by their environment. This, of course, means that all plain tribes—though speaking a score of languages—were, in life and manner, broadly alike. They were buffalo hunting Indians, and only in rare cases did they give any attention to agriculture. Buffalo meat was their food, and the by-products their clothing, toils and implements. The plains tribes in earlier times were certainly true nomads. For a time, in the depths of winter, they camped in the shelter of some forest along the streams. Other than that, wherever roamed a herd of buffalo there also wandered the bands of northern Indians. The very existence of these tribes seemed bound to that of the buffalo. From the skins their lodges were built. With the hair on the hides furnished the robes for the body, as well as mattresses and bed coverings. The meat, prepared in many ways, with the addition of a few roots and berries, furnished their entire food. Advancing civilization has swept these countless herds from the face of the plains and left their human companions stranded. The Land of Suspicion. "I am beginning to have my doubts about that press censor," said one Russian official. "He seems perfectly reliable," said the other. "Yes.

Black Spotches All Over Face—Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever—Cured by the Cuticle Rem: "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Finally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well. Lizzie E. Sedge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, Ala., Oct. 28, 1905."

There have been many arguments during the last few weeks as to whether the name of the earthquake-smitted country should be spelled Chill or Chile. Chile is the Spanish and Chilean form. The name is commonly explained as an old Peruvian word for snow, the allusion being to the Andes; but "Chili" has also been identified as a native South American word, "chirl," meaning cold—which would make it really the "chilly" country. As to the meaning of "Ondes," there is plenty of choice. The word has been variously interpreted as signifying the haunt of the tapir, the region of copper, the home of the Anti tribe and the site of the "Ondaces." Spanish gardens on the mountain terraces. Arabi Pasha Old and Friendless. In a little house up a by street of the Mohammedan quarter, old, friendless, broken, lives the man who might have ruled Egypt.

In fact, after the bombardment of Alexandria he was sent to exile for life in Ceylon, but was allowed some four years ago to return to his native city. It was only after a week's hard fereing that I discovered through a native journalist the whereabouts of the great man. Even now, in his seventieth year, he is a big man; in his prime he must have been immense. White hair and beard; a broad, thoughtful forehead, surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh; kindly eyes, dulled a little by age, but lighting up wonderfully when he talks about things which interest him; a straight, powerful nose; a large mouth, which must once have been hard and cruel, now softened by adversity. Though the day is warm, he wears an overcoat, and he walks heavily on a massive ebony stick.—Pall Mall Gazette. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy," she says, "I have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicine. "This wretched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were being cured by eating Grape-Nuts. "I had little faith, but procured a box and after the first dish I experienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in a few days began to grow stronger. "I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studios and later taught ten months with ease—of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I began to use Grape-Nuts, I am the mistress of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich. "There's a reason."

There is no village that might not with propriety have a woman's exchange if women, married and single, found it convenient to or- ganizo and carry one on with, of course, a cooperative basis. ‘The exchange needs only a pleasant room located on a business street or near a business center, Here may be brought for sale articles of beaity, costly wearing apparel with whictr the owners would Uke to part for a con- ‘sideration, and various domestic prod- ucts. If there is a woman in the com- munity who has a special gift for deli- cate cookery, she may save her neigh- bors trouble and add something regu- larly to her own exchequer by selling her cakes or pastry, her home-made loaves, her pickles and preserves at the woman’s exchange. Sometimes a woman's exchange es- tablishes a reputation for a particular dainty, and people send from far and near to obtain it for their parties or social teas. It ix desirable that or: ders should be definitely taken for perishable goods or else there will be Joss elther to the consignee or to the exchange. Women who wish to consign articles of value to an exchange, must plainly state the amount they are worth and the lowest selling price the owners are willing to accept. ‘They will probably be asked to pay a small entrance fee and a commission will be exacted on the sale of the articles, A pathetic interest sometimes attaches to the beautiful objects seen at a woman's exchange.

"I've been in tight places in battle," said the G. A. R. man in reminiscent mood, "and generally acquitted myself honorably. But once I was—yes, a hero." "Several youngsters of us, wild with enthusiasm, had gone into the army from college. Such a trifle as consulting our families couldn't stop us. After some rough experiences in camp, there was a skimmish in which several were wounded. These and others of us, slick from exposure, were deposited in an unprovised hospital in a small village. "Medical supplies were few, there was only one doctor, and some officers' wives, lect at the place, did what they could in nursing. The dangerously wounded got the attention, the rest of us fared anyhow. The doctor had given me about two minutes and rushed away, muttering something about pneumonia. "As I lay on my hard couch, forgotten, despairing, my thoughts were not—according to romantic ideals—'soldierly.' I had enlisted without consulting mother! Boy as I was, my fear of death was not so much the fear of actual dying as it was that of the naughty child come' to grief in his naughtiness and now about to be found out. "A slip of a girl—who I learned later was a colonel's wife—was giving me a drink of water when the doctor dashed by. 'My dear child,' he expostulated, 'you shouldn't be here—what will the colonel say?' 'I don't care,' she retort, spirtedly. 'I've got to help these poo' slick boys—you can go along, doc tah, an' the colonel, too.' "So here was another young thing out of place, threatened with rightful authority! I opened my heart to her—I was going to have pneumonia, no one was doing anything for me, and if I died, what would my mother say! "Poo boy! she cooed. I reckon the doctah hasn't a minute to yoh but I'll cure yoh, if you'll jus, do what I say! "I'll do anything! I rashly promised, and off she went, all important with her charge, returning presently with something in a cloth. "Yoh mus' keep it on two houahs; she said, impressively. 'It'll hut' awful—but yoh promised! "She shed tears of pity, as with the help of an old negro, she wrapped me front and back, in a mustard plaster the like of which never was. 'Poo boy, I just feel how it huts, but remembah how mad youah mothah would be if yoh didn't get well! "Did I keep it on I did, for two 'honah,' manly remembering mother or hearing my little nurse's 'You promised'." "And." "I concluded the veteran, 'I'd give a great deal to see my nurse again. She not only saved my life, but made me a hero for once—perforce! Besides, I've always wanted to find out if the colonel was as mild with her as mother was with me—when she found me." New American Industry The infant industry of raw silk production gives promise of developing into sturdy and vigorous manhood, even though protective duties and the aid of state or national bounties be denied it. The father of the present movement to establish seri-culture as a permanent and profitable branch of American industry is Louis Borris Magid, a German by birth, an Italian by descent and an American by choice and adoption. At Tallulah Falls, Ga., he owns 3,500 acres of land, on which he has planted more than 200,000 mulberry trees, which are now from three to five years old, and which are designed for the feeding of millions of silk worms. The land will be subdivided into many small farms and leased or sold to persons willing to engage in silk culture. Mr. Magid has proven that silk can be produced as cheaply in America has in any other country and that the $100,000,000 or more expended annually for foreign silks might just as well be kept at home for the benefit of American farmers, workmen and manufacturers.—Technical World. Why He Married Her A country justice of the peace, when upward of 70 years of age, married a girl about 19, and being well aware that he was likely to be rallied on the subject, he resolved to be prepared. Accordingly, when any of his intimate friends called upon him, after the first salutations were passed he was sure to begin the conversation by saying he believed he could tell them news: "Why," said he, "I have married my tailor's daughter." If asked why, the old gentleman replied: "Why, the father suited me so well for 40 years past that I thought the daughter might suit me for 40 years to come." American Civility Criticized Owen Owen, a dry goods man, who is in a large way of business in Liverpool, tells in the Draper's Record of what he saw on a recent visit to the United States. He speaks with wonder of the many attractions and conveniences American dry goods men furnish for their customers, but remarks: "One hardly ever hears the phrase 'Thank you' in an American shop. Without being actually rude, the assistants seem to lack some of the polish which is expected from them in this country." HAD TO BE CULTIVATED. Friendship With Senator Not Likely to Be Spontaneous. Ex Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, is known as a man of uncompromising adherence to his own ideas of right and wrong, and, like many men of his kind, has little diplomacy, carrying at times a large chip on each shoulder. These qualities made him one of the chief irritants of the upper house of congress during his membership. Senator Hoar's sweetness of temper, however, was not lost on the irascible Chandler, and no difficulties ever entered into their relations. Hoar, however, was not blind to his colleague's failing. A senator from the middle states, fresh from an encounter with Chandler, sunk into a seat beside Hoar, exclaiming: "By thunder, Hoar, I've had just about enough of that autocrat from New Hampshire. You're about the only man here who can bear him. How do you manage to endure him?" "Well," replied the Massachusetts man, with one of his familiar smiles, "I like Chandler; I really do; but, my friend," and here he lowered his voice, "I must admit that it's an acquired taste." LONG LIFE EASILY ATTAINED Prof. Metchnicoff Has Simple Scheme to Secure Longevity. It is well known that the average length of human life has been considerably prolonged in the last century owing to a better understanding and better fulfillment of private and public hygienic conditions. Few, however, attain old age, especially that of 100 years or more, and among those very few enjoy all their physical and mental powers. Prof. Metchnicoff, of the Pasteur institute of Paris, shows the causes of decrepitude, of premature weakening. He demonstrates that certain cells constituting the human organism become mutinous and devour the nobler cells of the body. He points out a special danger, the intestinal germs and the poisons or toxine elaborated thereby, which penetrate the system and cause the hardening and degeneration of tissues. The professor goes further and says that man can educate and improve these intestinal germs and their toxins. The most practical and easy way is, said he, to drink a beverage which contains the germs of lactic acid fermentation, whose antagonism to the bad germs we has demonstrated. Great Men Fond of Tea Like all things in the world tea met with opposition at the first thought or knowledge of it. There were some who called it a filthy custom, while others held that it would dwarf the body and destroy personal beauty. Samuel Johnson tells us that he was "a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who for 20 years diluted his meals with only the infusion of the fascinating plant; who with tea amused the evening, with tea solaced the midnight, and with tea welcomed the morning." Thackeray, Shakespeare and Lamb were all devotees to the teacup. "Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." Sixpences on a Tombstone. Sunday morning 21 old widows of the parish of St. Bartholomew, West Smithfield, went to the churchyard at the close of the morning service to pick up the sixpences which are annually deposited on the tombstone of a parishioner who died several centuries ago. The origin of the custom dates back to Saxon times, and it was revived some years ago by Mr. Butterwick. The little graveyard is raised several feet above the level of the pathway, and to mount to this eminence the elderly dames are assisted up a stepladder lodged against the stone coping of the wall—London Daily Chronicle. Long Words or Short. Which shall we prefer in speech and writing? Almost everybody will vote for the short word, and almost everybody will be voting for the best candidate. The short words are usually the strong words. They make up in muscle nad livelliness what they lack in size. And they are readily in the eyes of men who have thoughts that they wish to lodge in other minds. A man who should run out into the street and yell "Conflagration! Conflagration! Conflagration!" when his house was burning would be thought to be making a jest of the affair. And so in all matters where ideas are to be handed out quickly and clearly, the short word has first choice. Fish as Pets. Many boys and girls who cannot keep pets have been able to make pets of wild birds and animals. Even fish in a pond will come to know you if you feed them regularly, and they will follow you round the edge of the pond and at last grow so tame as to take food out of the hand. They will even come into the shallows and allow themselves to be patted. You will find it easiest to make friends of fish of the carp family. Shocked. "A girl out west was driven insane by the sight of a railway train the other day." "Gee! It must have been on time" —Houston Post. In his first success at Drury Lane, Edmund Kean overheard a knot of old stage carpenters discussing vigorously the various players of Hamlet they had seen in their day. "Well," said one, "you may talk of Henderson and Kemble and this new man, but give me Bannister's Hamlet—he was always done 20 minutes sooner than any of 'em."
