VOL. XXI. Things in Great Empire of Czar Going to Smash. Is Declaration of Eminent French Historian, Who Knows Russia from Alpha to Omega—Clashes Are Daily Occurring. A Paris dispatch says: Anatole Leroy-Beaulieu, director of the Institute of France and the foremost French authority on Russian affairs whose history of Russia is recognized as being one of the most accurate presentations of the affirts of that empire. Tuesday morning devoted an hour to discussing the gravity of Russia's present condition and the outlook for the future. M. Leroy-Beaulieu makes frequent visits to Russia, the last only a few weeks ago, for the purpose of personally observing the results of the first Russian election. When asked to sum up his recent observations, M. Leroy-Beaulieu said: "It should be understood that the Russian situation is one of actual revolution. It is no crisis, which can be measured by days, weeks or months, but is a vast and complete transition, resembling that of France's revolution. When I say revolution I do not mean that the monarchy is certain to be overthrown, although it is possible that this may follow. The greater part of the leaders of the constitutional democracy desire to save the throne from wreck. But they recognize that they are not masters of the future. When the government does not satisfy the nation's demands catastrophes of the gravest nature are ahead for Russia." M. Leroy-Beaulieu was asked if the preservation of the throne meant a continuation of the autocracy. "By no means," he replied. "On the contrary, arbitrary autocracy is doomed. All that the present monarchy can save at the best is power within constitutional or well defined Amits. "The emperor has good intentions, but he knows very little of his own country outside of the limits of his palaces. He is always hesitating, is himself terrified by the example of the French revolution and does not wish to have the same end as-Louis XVI, although he forgets that Charles I of England arrived at a similar end by another route. Perhaps it is already too late to save the dynasty from going down with the autocracy, but the emperor might stay the storm by permitting the formation of a ministry representing parliament which represents the people. He has already lost much time and the feeling of discontent is continually increasing." M. Leroy-Beaulieu then discussed the agrarian and other leading questions. The land, he said, was the most difficult question, owing to the intense feeling among the peasants. The government recoils before the enormous cost of partial or total expropriation of the ancient estates, yet, unless the emperor satisfies the exjections of peasants, he will transform them into an opposition element and perhaps into revolutionists. A special from Sebastopol, Russia, says: It is reported that the ironclads Panteleimon and Three Saints have joined the garrison of the Batum fortress which has been in mutiny, that the Three Saints' hoisted the red flag and that the mutineers are forcibly detaining two other ironclads which had refused to join them. Advices from Warsaw state that ten armed men attacked the cashier of the Vistula railway, who was proceeding to the state bank to deposit the day's receipts. He was accompanied by an attendant and two soldiers. The assailants stopped the carriage, shot the soldiers dead and got off with $50,000. The cashier escaped, saving $400,000. Arrivals During Year 1,062,054 and Wealth Was $19,000,000. More than a million immigrants entered the United States through the Ellis Island station at New York the fiscal year ending June 30th. The exact number was 1,062,054, an increase of 199,075 as compared with the preceding year. The largest number of immigrants came from southern Italy, the number being 222,606. The Hebrews were second with 125,000. The immigrants brought with them a total of $19,000,000. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 14, 1906. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR For State of Georgia Provided in Bill Passed in Senate by Good Majority—Matter Up to the House. A bill was passed Tuesday by the Georgia state senate favoring a lieutenant governor by a vote of 32 to 5. Those who voted against the bill were Senators Adams, Graybill, King, Miller and Steed. The bill as passed is simply for a constitutional amendment providing for a lieutenant governor. If it is passed by the lower house the amendment will then go before the people of Georgia for ratification. If the bill is passed by this year's session of the legislature it will be placed before the people for ratification at the approaching primary. According to the bill the lieutenant governor shall be ex-officio president of the senate. It does away with the senators' election of their own president. He will be elected directly by a vote of the people. This officer shall be chosen at the same time and in the same manner as the governor and continue in office for the same period of time; he shall be possessed of the same qualifications and have the same powers as the governor when acting for the first executive of the state; his salary shall be $100 per annum; he shall not be required to reside at the seat of government except when the legislature is in session or when he is in performance of duties of the governor or acting as president of the senate. Immediately on the bill being taken from the table for discussion Senator Miller arose and declared that he did not wish an autocrat to rule over that body. He added further: "I am opposed to the president being elected by any one save this body. He should be one of us and amenable to us. I do not wish the office of president of the senate to become a stepping stone to the governorship. I don't want officers of the senate to be fixing committee and getting mixed up in politics." About this point Senator Hand arose and stated that he regretted to see the opposition of Senator Miller, as he thought him an elegant man for the place. Later on Senator Reid advocated the passage of the bill and said that the state could not do without it. He took his seat with stating "I do not think that we could find a finer person for he place than the present president." Senator Wheatley made a fine oratorical showing for his bill and earnestly advocated its passage. Senator Miller was about the only person in the upper house who seemed very much opposed to its becoming a law. As soon as the vote was counted, the bill was sent to the house. Senator Wheatley thanked his fellow lawmakers for its passage. Senator Candler's bill requiring every corporation in Georgia and all that may in the future be organized to make returns to the secretary of state also passed the senate at Tuesday's session by a vote of 27 to 3. If this bill passes the house and becomes a law it means an increase of $28,000 or $30,000 per year to the state's revenue. It makes the secretary of state exofficio commissioner of corporations and will place him in touch with every incorporated concern in the state. YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA. Two Cases Reported by Health Inspectors Stationed on Island. Reports from Havana to the Louisiana state board of health say that two cases of fever, suspected to be yellow fever, were found in Havana Tuesday, and that one case of yellow fever developed there on July 4. The fever outbreak at Nipa, Cuba, which was at first reported as suspected, was announced as paludic fever in the dispatches. The reports were from Louisiana health inspectors stationed in Cuba. Shoots Brother-in-Law and Then Slashes His Own Throat. Rev. J. L. Rea, pastor of the Christian church at Mangum, Oklahoma, shot and probably fatally wounded George A. Stephens, his brother-in-law, a farmer; and then cut his own throat. Rea although badly wounded may recover. Rev. Rea and his wife had separated. Mrs. Rea had gone to the home of her brother. Stephens went to the minister's house and asked for his sister's belongings. The men quarreled, and the shooting followed. FREIGHTS COLLIDE And Crews of Both Engines Meet Horrible Death. Victims Were Engineers Atkinson and Hamilton and Firemen Gentry and Pinson, All Old and Faithful W. & A. Employees. In a frightful head-on collision between freight trains on the Western and Atlantic road at 2:45 o'clock Monday morning, at King's bridge passing, just five miles from Chattanooga, Tenn., the engineers and the firemen of both trains met instant death. The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained, and will probably remain unknown until the road completes an investigation, which was begun Monday. The dead are; W. P. Hamilton, engineer of freight train No. 8; R. H. Atkinson, engineer on freight train No. 13; Oliver A. Gentry, fireman on No. 13, and H. F. Pinson, fireman on No. 8. In addition to the killed, four men were slightly injured. Immediately after the accident fire broke out, which burned the body of Engineer Atkinson, and also burned up one car loaded with cattle. No. 13 was southbound for Atlanta, while the other engine was northbound. The two trains had approached very near to the passing point when the accident occurred. Just exactly how it happened is unknown. No. 13 was to have taken the switch, but apparently failed to do so, and the real reason why the two engines smashed into each other may never be known, as both engineers and firemen are now beyond the power of an earthly investigation. After the collision the freight cars on No. 13 caught fire, and as there was no way of stopping the blaze they burned until the fire was satiated, eight cars being destroyed. In addition to these eight freight cars on No. 13, four cars on No. 8 were very badly damaged in the collision. Three of the men killed, Atkinson, Hamilton and Gentry, were residents of Atlanta. Pinson was a resident of Ellijay, Ga. R. H. Atkinson was 43 years of age and had been connected with the railroad for the past nineteen years, and during that term of service had made a most enviable record, never having had an accident of any consequence to take place. He leaves a wife and six children. W. P. Hamilton, aged 44 years, had been in the employ of the Western and Atlantic for the past twenty years and was one of the most competent and faithful engineers of the road. He leaves a wife and two children. Oliver A. Gentry was 36 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children. The unfortunate man jumped in an attempt to save his life, but was thrown under the train and his body cut in half. MURDERER DRINKS BOISON. Hancock Escapes Gallows by Taking Carbolic Acid. Fred Leslie Hancock, murderer of Professor Jesse Troutman, who figured in a sensational trial for the crime at the last term of the circuit court, committed suicide in his cell in the Escambia county jail at Brewton, Ala., Sunday by taking an ounce of carbolic acid. Hancock made his escape from jail May 9 and had just been recaptured in Kansas City, Mo. Sheriff Raney returned to Brewton with him last Friday. He left a note in which he said he was going where he would receive a just trial, where only the truth was told and where he would not be tried by the prejudice of the people. ICE MEN OUT OF JAIL. Convicted: Members of Trust at Toledo Gliven Liberty on Bond. The circuit, court at Toledo, Ohio, has suspended the workhouse sentence of Messrs. Miller, Walter's and Breining, the ice men, who have been in jail for two weeks while their lawyers have been fighting to get their cases in the circuit court. Bond in the sum of $5,000 was furnished by each, of the men. All of the convicted ice dealers have had sentence suspended and are out on bond. BRYAN STANDS READY To Answer Call of Democracy, But Will Not Work for the Nomination—Writes Ex-Senator Jones. A Washington dispatch says: Former United States Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, who was chairman of the democratic national committee when W. J. Bryan made his campaigns for the presidency in 1896 and 1900, has received a letter from Mr. Bryan in which he announces that he will accept the nomination for president for the third time if it is tendered to him. The letter is dated June 18 at Stockholm, and is as follows: "I have been watching political developments and have noted with gratification the vindication of democratic principles. You have correctly stated my position. As I wrote to Colonel Wetmore, I shall do nothing to secure another nomination and do not want one unless the conditions seem to demand it. I may add that I enjoy the freedom of private life and feel that I can do some good without holding any office. "There are, however, certain reforms which, I would like very much to see accomplished, and to assist in the accomplishment of these reforms. I am willing to become the party candidate again, if, when the time for the nomination arrives, the advocates of reform are in control of the party, and think that my candidacy will give the best assurance of victory. If some one else seems more available, I shall be even better pleased. "I need not assure you that I am more interested in seeing our principles triumphant than I am in the personnel of the ticket. The country needs to have Jeffersonian democracy applied to all of the departments of the government, state and national, and I am content to help make this application. Yours truly, Fear Expressed That Explorer Has Perished in Arctic Ocean. That Captain Robert E. Peary has sacrificed his life in the effort to discover the north pole is the fear of naval men in Washington who are worried by the failure to get any tidings of the ship Roosevelt, which sailed for the arctic regions July 16, 1905. Advices from the American Geographical Society add to their fears. Reports are that the weather in the far north this spring and early summer was more than usually rigorous—that severe storms have been frequent and that the ice is heavy. Consequently, it is feared that Peary's ship may have been ground to pieces by the drifting floes. "The explorer's plans, when he left last summer, were to proceed to the farthest possible point of landing north of Cape Sabine and within 500 miles of the pole. There he was to establish a winter base and make all preparations for a dash across the ice this summer as soon as weather conditions would permit. This he expected would not occupy more than six weeks, and according to his calculations he would reach home not later than October of this year. Esquimos and dogs, it is supposed, were taken aboard the Roosevelt last summer, for it is on the hardy inhabitants of the polar regions that Peary always relied. It was thought, however, that a whaling vessel might bring some tidings of the Roosevelt, and the failure of any news of the expedition to reach the outside world for so many months is arousing the keenest anxiety. TWO KILLED; EIGHT HURT. Explosion of Gasoline Tank Wreake Death and Destruction. Two persons were killed and eight injured, three of them seriously, by the explosion of a large gasoline tank on the second floor of the boiler house of the Cosendal Dye Works at Saginaw, Mich. Bettors In Various Parts of Country Badly Swindled. For the first time in several years real wire tappers have been successful in defrauding bettors in many parts of the country. The wire leading into the race track at Windsor, Ontario, was tapped, the correct information withheld and false winners were sent to New York, which is a betting distributing point. It is estimated that from $60,000 to. $100,000 was won by agents of the tappers. Excitedly Declares Flanders in Georgia Legislature. SENSATION IN THE HOUSE Representative Demands the Removal from the Floor of Man Whom He Charges With Systematically Spying Upon Him. Perhaps the most sensational episode in the annals of the Georgia legislature occurred at Monday's session when, quivering with anger and excitement, Hon. W. J. Flanders, representative from Johnson county, arose from his seat and demanded in stentorian tones the instant removal from the house of one Professor Garnett Quillian, vice president of the Nannie Lou Warthen Methodist Institute at Wrightsville, Ga. "I am going to be plain. I will mention names, and I wish it distinctly understood that I will personally stand responsible for every word I utter." Picking up a copy of the constitution of the state, Mr. Flanders then proceeded to read that section which provides that no member of the legislature shall be arrested while in attendance upon the sessions except upon certain charges. "I waive that provision," continued the speaker as his voice shook with emotion, "and I am willing to stand liable for what I say in any court on earth, either civil, criminal or ecclesiastical. "Before I go further I wish to demand that Garnett Quillian be removed from the floor of this house," and Mr. Flanders pointed his finger toward the rear of the hall. Scores of faces were immediately turned in that direction. Several members moved closer to the speaker in order to prevent any possible altercation. "Holding it up to the world that I am an enemy to the Methodist church, these people have been seeking to ruin me in every manner possible. They have defamed my character and have attempted to bring about the execution of my church and political career. "Among the number are Judge A. F. Daley, Rev. E. F. Morgan of the Savannah Grace Methodist church and Rev. W. F. Quillian of my town—think of it!—two ministers of the gospel. "One of them, Rev. W. F. Quillian, stands proven a perjured liar before the courts. I have made this statement before. And Rev. E. F. Morgan stands impeached. "As for Rev. J. M. Lovett, if that man were prosecuted on charges that I know are true—even if a negro were prosecuted for the same cause—he would be chained up for life." "They had kept this thing up for so long that I thought surely it would stop some day. But on last Tuesday I saw this man here," with a gesture toward the rear of the chamber, where sat Garnett Quillilan. "I went to him and said: "I don't want you here meddling in my business. If you are seen here again, your presence will be construed by me as a bid for personal trouble." "The next morning I saw him upon the floor. It was the Fourth, and a number of the senators were present. For that reason I managed to control myself. I happened to pass by him on the floor, when he placed his hand quickly in his pocket—as though he was reaching for something — and looked at me viciously. "Finally I decided to give him another Sunday on which to read his Bible and remember that prayer he used to say as he knelt at his mother's knee. "It all did no good. He is here again, and I could stand it no longer. "I make this statement as a Methodist in good standing. If I fail to establish the charges I will resign my position." When Mr. Flanders resumed his seat, the house at once took up its regular business, but soon afterward adjourned. The incident was the sole topic of conversation. --- Secretary Shaw Appeals to National Institutions to Aid Government in Supplying Small Notes. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has issued an appeal to the national banks to assist the government in supplying a pressing demand for notes of small denomination. He has sent to all national banks a letter requesting them to issue as much of the aggregate of their circulating notes in five dollar bills as possible, indicating that there is more profit in the issuance of such notes than in putting out notes of a larger denomination. In the course of his letter, Secretary Shaw says: "The treasurer of the United States is unable to meet even at this season of the year the pressing demand for notes of small denominations. The coming autumn will greatly increase this demand. In the absence of legislation, I am forced to appeal to the national banks to use every reasonable effort to relieve the situation. "If each bank will do its share, there will be no difficulty. Failing in this, there will be slight reason to complain of the inevitable shortage in small bills. "The law permits national banks to issue one-third of their circulating notes in denominations of five dollars. The aggregating outstanding national bank circulation is a little over $500,000,000, one-third of which, or $166,000,000, might be in five-dollar notes. Instead of this maximum, there is approximately but $76,000,000 in fives. The additional $90,000,000 in five-dollar bills now available would greatly relieve the situation. "It must be apparent that there is more profit in maintaining circulation in small bills than in large. Large bills are almost immediately presented for redemption. Small bills find their way to the pockets of the people and remain in circulation much longer, and only in proportion as they stay in use is their maintenance profitable. Issuing notes one day to have them redeemed the next is unprofitable to the banks and of no benefit to commerce. "I wish to call your attention to one other consideration. If the banks generally will exercise a little care and pay over their counters only national bank notes, they will greatly assist in times of monetary stringency. National bank notes are intended for use, not holding. They are not available for reserve, and are valuable only when in actual use. Please use them and do not send them in for redemption until unfit for use. They are just as secure, just as safe, just as convenient and just as acceptable to the people, and their use leaves other forms of money available for reserve." AFTER THE GUANO MAKERS. Officers of Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. Wanted in Tennessee. Edward T. Sanford, assistant United States attorney of Knoxville, Tenn., was in Richmond, Va., Monday for the purpose of making a motion, before Judge Edmund Waddill, in the United States district court, to remove S. T. Morgan, president of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company; and Fortescue Whitle and S. Dabney Crenshaw, other officers of the same company, to the middle district of Tennessee for trial under the indictments made against them there for violation of the Sherman antitrust law. COTTON MILL WORKERS HAPPY. General Advance In Wages Has Gone Into Effect in Massachusetts. An advance of 5 per cent in wages in cotton mills in thirty or more cities, towns and villages of southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island went into effect Monday. About 45,000 operatives are benefited. Since the inception of the upward movement, 165,000 textile operatives in the New England states have had their pay advanced 5 to 14 per cent. Of the total number 110,000 work in the cotton mills and about 55,000 in the woolen and worsted plants. Father Resents Unfaithfulness to His Daughter by Her Husband. A young man of 27, shot dead by his father-in-law, 20 years his senior, as the result of alleged unfaithfulness to his wife on the part of the younger man, was a tragedy enacted it Howell, near Atlanta, Monday, night, when Charles E. Black, a moulder, who works in Witthers' foundry, was killed by R. Alonzo Church, a barber. A pistol was used. Three shots were fired, but only one took effect, lodging in the region of the heart, and produced instant death. an ve sz y = Largest Sick and Death | Fog. oo oO - LE, WILLIAMS, President. - P.

The Democratic ' oO Theory of Wealth exxmma, HY there should be hard-working poor mea and {dle rich men In f the same community js a question which no one has answered, - and no one can answer satisfactorily, That is why the opinion, = eum $8 60 prevalent that the world, economically considered, is ‘sO Orn very much out of joint. Bat although there ls so much ppaDi> mio} ity in the oj¢nlon that wealth ought rot to be distributed as it now is, there {s still a wide diversity of opinion, where there Is any definite opinfon at all, as to how it really ought to be distributed. These opinions may, however, be reduced to three fundamentally distingt theories, which I shall call the aristocratic, tHe socialistic, and the democratic, or Mberalistic, theories. The atistocratic theory is that the good things of the world belong more particularly to certain groups or classes than to others, ~ by virtue of some circumstance connected with thelr birth or heredity, and independently of their individual achievements, The socialistic theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to needs, or according to some sini. far plan arranged beforehand, and independently of the individual ability to acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready struggle of life. “The democratic, er Mberalfstic, theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to produc- tivity, usefulness or worth, There are two widely altferent notions as to what constitutes a wide dif fasion of wealth, One is that the ownership of the productive wealth should be concentgated in the hands of the state, and administered by public officials, only the consumable goods being djffused. This {s the socialistic ideal. The other is that the ownershtp of the productive wealth itself should be widely diffused.’ If this were the case, the consumable wealth also would of neces- sity be widely diffused. This Is the democratic, or uberalistic, ideal. It is -the belief of the Jiberal school that this system gives greater plasticity and adaptability to the industrial system than any other. Certain socialistic writ- erg have, however, assumed that this teal is unattainable, and that we are really beween the devil of plutocracy and the deep sea of socialism. Let us. not thus despair of the republic.

THE bill-boards of the coming circus were unusually showy and aggressive. It was small wonder that Mr. Patten, a lifelong devotee of the circus, fell before the glaring temptation. "I expect that is just the way Jacob looked in old times, when he went on a journey," he said, his eyes wandering off and lighting on a pictured train of camels. "Much you care how Jacob looked!" sniffed his wife, resentfully. "Pretty fine old gentleman, just the same, with family enough to last him when he wanted to take them anywhere," observed Mr. Patten, with mournful humor. He had patronized every traveling show which had come to town in the past fifteen years, under the ready plea that the children wanted to go. "Children won't be children but once," he had said only last year, not realizing that the children were children no longer. But this season the last shadow of an excuse was removed, for Jennie was married and Johnny was engaged, and Mrs. Patten "put her foot down" with alarming vigor and insistence. "It is perfect nonsense, Jerry Patten, spending money and time every year to go and see the same old performance and hear the rime stuff we've heard for years! The children are grown now, and can go by themselves if they want to, but we are too old." "I never saw a giraffe, and they say this is the last living specimen," said Mr. Patten, imploringly; but his wife shook her head. "We'll live if the last specimen doesn't," she said, conclusively. "I caught ma looking at one of the circus bills," observed Johnny, next day at dinner. Mrs. Patten colored guiltily. She had opened one just before consigning it to the kitchen stove, and it had proved so interesting that she had lingered over the description of the grand display of Oriental splendor which was to dazzle the eyes of town and country. Then Johnny had come in, and she had hastily stuffed the whole array of elephants, tigers, lions and acrobats into the hottest of the fire. "I guess we'd better go, hadn't we, ma?" Mr. Patten took up hopefully. "You haven't been anywhere this summer." "Dgadful concern you are about me, Jerry," said Mrs. Patten, grimly. "We'll go on that excursion week after next, since I'm pining so to go somewhere." Mr. Patten groaned. The thought of substituting the excursion which he hated for the glittering, gilded circus that he loved was too painful. It completely took away his appetite, and pushing away his ple, he rose and took his way to the barn. "O mother, don't keep pa from going to the circus!" pleaded Johnny. "There's r- sense in He being such a baby. I'd be ashamed." A man of his age." "That is just it; he is old, and he has been to shows all his life, and that's why he so attached to 'em,' urged Johnny. Mr. Patten said no more about the matter. He went about with a resigned expression upon his usually cheerful, ruddy countenance. The morning of the ventful day came, and Mrs. Patten, by way of compensation, possibly, prepared an unusually 'empting breakfast. "You're going down to see the parade, ain't you, Ann Elliz?" he ventured. "Well, I don't know. I need some callco, and I suppose I may as well get it to-day as any time." Johnny undred his father. "It's amazing, so it is, how many women need a spool of thread or a yard of calco on circus day," he said. "They don't care a straw about seeing the parade, but somehow they don't go home till after it passes." "I won't get the calco to day, then." Mrs. Patten looked reproachfully at the men, who tried not to laugh. "Oh, yes, you will." Mr. Patten said, seeing her hurt look. "Don't mind, Johnny." The parade passed, and Mrs. Patten went-home with her calco, but with no signs of weakening, and Mr. Patten wandered around the scene of the departed glory, a disconsolate, wobegone expression upon his face. "Hello, Uncle Jerry! What is the matter? You look sort of down. Going to the circus this afternoon?" "I guess not, Renb. Mrs. Patten allows that it's foolish for old folks to be spending money that way." "Well, maybe it is. I always go, anyhow. Why don't you go up to John's and buy something? He's giving a ticket for the show with every six-dollar purchase to-day." "In that so?" A rainbow of hope lighted up the gloom of Mr. Patten's face. "I'll go up and see about it." There it was in the window, the announcement, together with a tempting display of dress goods, ribbons and laces, while in another window a variety of linens were displayed. "Ann Elzl... won't care 'or another new dress.' Mr. Patten said to himself, as he studied the placard. "She hasn't made up the one I bought her for Christmas yet." He stepped inside, and leaning over the counter, beckoned to the brisk young proprietor. "John, what have you got now that would just come to about six dollars, that Mrs. Patten would be likely to fancy? To tell the honest truth, John, I want to go to that show the worst way, but somehow Ann Eliza is bound that I shouldn't. Got her ideas so firm I can't move 'em. I told her I wouldn't buy a ticket, but she can't say anything if I have one given to me." The goodnatured proprietor comprehended the situation at once. "How would she like a new shawl? I've got some handsome ones." Mr. Patten shook his head. His wife did not like shawls. "Most ladies are always pleased with a new dress. No? Well, how's the linen department? Just in, and the finest assortment of table linen ever shown in this town." He unfolded a beautiful cloth, fine and glossy. "One of the most expensive cloths I've got and seeing it's you, Uncle Jerry, I'll make it an even eight dollars. It's marked eight-fifty, you see." Half an hour later Mr. Patten marched into his sitting-room, a satisfied smile upon his face. He had not looked so happy in a week, and his wife noticed it at once. "What's it, Jerry? What's in that bundle?" "Open it," he said, affably, throwing it into her lap. "It's for you, and if you don't say it's the prettiest thing you ever saw—" "Why, Jeremiah Benijah Patten, what under the sun ha e you bought me another table-cloth for?" Mrs. Patten exclaimed, as she unfolded the beautiful linen. "I've a new one now that I've never used, and this is—Land sakes alive, Jerry Patten, did you buy this to get a show ticket with it?" She had read the placard when she went in to purchase her callco, and a suspicion of the truth fashed over her. "Yes, I did," replied Mr. Patten, stoutly, "and you can't say a word against my going if I go on a free ticket." "A free ticket!" repeated Mrs. Patten, expressively; then she leaned back in her chair and laughed till the tears came. "Well, Jerry, if you want to go to that show as bad as all that—" she said, as she wiped away a tear perhaps not all due to the laughter. "It's a mighty 'pretty table-cloth, now isn't it?" asked Mr. Patten, anxiously. "Yes, too pretty, and too fine for plain people like us, Jerry." "Not a bit of it. Nothing is too good for you, Ann Ellza. You'll come along to the show, won't you?" he added, coaxingly. "Things don't seem half so pleasant when you ain't about to share 'em with me." When the performance began Mr. and Mrs. Patten were on the top row of the middle seats ac usual, and one would never have gathered from Mrs. Patten's interested face that she had objected to coming. Youth's Companion. Waste of the Chefs. The great chefs of this extravagant age seem to have taken for their motto, "Get the smallest portion of food out of the most costly bird or beast in such a way as to effect the greatest possible waste." A dish created by a famous Paris chef as the piece de resistance of the dinner given to the beautiful Le Bargy, who is, according to recent news from Paris, to marry the son of ex-President Casimir-Perler, consisted of the most delicate portions of thirty geese, ten turkeys, and several woodcocks, served in a sauce made by stewing the tender meat of four sibilons of beef, and leaving only the turkey element to be served up with truffles. The cost of this one course was $400—not because of what it consisted, but because of all that was wasted in its preparation. On this principle of "waste as much as possible to prepare a fashionable dish," truffles will soon be as unfashionable as onions, as they can almost always be obtained for about $5 a pound, and no chef has as yet discovered that any part of them is much better than any other part, to excuse wasting half and double the price. Company Insures Glory After Death. Any Austrian believer in a postmortem glory, provided he is not a convicted criminal and can pay the subscription to the "Universal Memorial Insurance Society," may secure the erection of a monument or mural tablet to his memory after his death. This novel insurance company, which has just issued its prospectus, provides memorials to its policyholders who die after reaching the age of fifty, in desirable sites in Vienna, the prominence of position being graduated according to the amount of the premium. Thus, by paying on the highest scale, one may insure a statue in the Stadt Park or other public garden in central Vienna; the two next classes of policies provide monuments in less honorable positions; and the fourth class is for mural tablets. A policyholder dying before he is fifty forfeits his premium. On the death of an insurer a committee meets and decides the character and site for the monument, taking into account the class of policy held by the deceased. To provide data for their decisions, the insured have to send in annual reports specifying anything not feasible they have achieved.

Judging by the laicrity with which new amusement features are taken up and the dearth of ideas that the amusement managers declare to exist, the new style of merry-go-round should Merry-Go-Round and Razzle-Dazzle. prove popular. It is a combination of the ordinary merry-go-round and the razzle-dazzle. The carriages carrying the riders are alternately swung up and down, and at the same time given a rotary motion. In the centre is a tower, the carriages being suspended on cables, the whole resembling a spider. As the spider and its arms rotate in a circle and as the arms approach and reach the higher part of the plane they will lift the carriages and give the passengers a pleasing sensation of being carried upward as well as in the rotary motion. To enhance the attraction electric lights can be attached to the cables and mounted on the frame and give to the merry-go-round a pleasing effect in the night time. CARRIER FOR ORANGES.

ADJUSTABLE WINDOW SHADE A Roller That Can Be Shifted at Will to Any Dealted Position. The supports in which the roller of an ordinary window shade rests are usually fixed to the woodwork. Hence the upper limit of the shade must remain unchanged. Only the lower edge can be shifted. Something would be gained, though, if the roller could be moved downward occasionally. Ventilation above it could then be easily effected by pulling down the upper sash. Again, in many bedrooms it is common to have muslin curtains that cover only the lower half of the window opening. They are more transparent than the shade, yet afford privacy Cord Poor Adjustment Steel Wire Entering Air. while a person is dressing. Light for the operation is usually secured by running the shade vp as far as it will go. Now, it will be seen that if the shade roller can be moved up and down the curtains would not be needed, for, by lowering the roller, plenty of light would be admitted above it, while the nal Scenes.

His mechanism is designed to go on the roller, and the latter acts exactly as it would under ordinary circumstances except for its change of position. The device ought to improve the methods of regulating the light and air in a room, and should be serviceable in schools and business offices, as well as in private homes.—New York Tribune Farmer. Flock of Pelicans in Kansas. The other day a large flock of pelicans flew over the town of Hepler. One of the birds was shot, and it fell into the large railroad pond. After it had been, shot the flock hovered over the pond for three or four hours, circling higher and higher until they were out of gunshot reach. It was after night before the flock abandoned the wounded bird and continued their journey northward. The bird that was shot was not killed, but was disabled in one of its wings. It is a fine large bird, standing about four feet high and measuring eight feet from tip to tip of its wings. It as white as snow, with the exception that it has one or two black feathers in the top of the wings. Its beak is about one foot in length, with a pouch underneath large enough to hold about one gallon of water. The flock had probably been disturbed and driven out of their course to the northern lakes.—Pittsburgh Headlight. Missed the Point. At a recent political meeting in England, the speaker made a jest, and, finding that his audience had missed the point of it, said playfully: "I had hoped, gentlemen, that you would laugh at that." A plaintive voice came through the silence. "I laughed miser." Then everybody did. People of an Iowa Town Mourn Bird With Astounding Profane Vocabularies. "The swearing crow," long = feature of Primghar, Iowa, and known as Jim Crow, has just died and the boys and girls are in mourning. Jim Crow was about four years old and was brought to the park where he was raised and where he learned to talk equal to most any parrot. He took up his abode in the barn of Joseph Nye, near the public square, and soon became an expert in talking and especially in swearing. The bird was a wonder to everybody who knew him. When the ball games were on Jim was always on hand and would shout and squawk for the Primghar nine just like the rooters when a good hit was made or a home run accomplish. He went and came as he pleased and did not molest anybody until last year, when he took a wonderful liking for the young chickens, and this is what brought him to a premature grave. His master had just kept him shut up in the barn to keep him from pilfering, but a travelling man who wished to hear him talk and swear let him out in a spirit of mischief, and Jim made a bee line for a poultry yard and proceeded to fill up on spring chickens. The owner of the poultry yard became enraged at Jim's acts of larceny and confiscation and shot him. No one will be more missed in Prigmarghar than Jim Crow, as he was an exceptional bird and a great attraction to visitors by his talking and swearing. His owner intends to have nim mounted and placed in the public museum of Prigmargh. - Eldorado correspondence St. Paul Ploneer Press. WORDS OF WISDOM. How tedious and tasteless are esteem and regard! A lazy man is never too lazy to help load up others. A chicken-hearted man isn't necessarily feather-brained. Whoever heard, of a model husband named Romeo?—New York News. A man's courting, conversations seldom tally with his marriage remarks. On the sea of life there is nothing like the anchor of true love to steady a man. It's a mighty sad state of affairs when the only girl friend a girl has is herself. Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.—Benjamin Franklin. Fear is sharp sighted, and can see things underground, and much more in the skies.—Cervantes. A man capable of conquering habitual indolence cannot be a feeble character.—Marla Edgeworth. Do not wait for extraordinary opportunities for good actions, but make use of common situations.—Goethe. When any one has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.—Descartes. It takes a miserable little run of a man who has never accomplished anything himself to croak about the coldness of the world. To believe in life is to believe that it is a struggle in which victory will belong to justice. It is for us, then, to arm ourselves, to fight, and to suffer, if need be, but never lose courage.—Charles Wagner. One of the secrets of happiness is the using of little pleasures. So many wait for the larger: blessings, and because they seldom or never come, miss all the joy. The deeper happiness comes gently and silently, and we need the discerning power to see it.—Every Other Sunday. Error in Phrenology. They were enthusiasts in physlognomy and phrenology, and were travelling by train. On the opposite seat was a man of commanding figure, massive brow and serious expression. "What a fine countenance, Arthur! I wish I knew his occupation." "Perhaps he's a lawyer, Edith." "No, he's not a lawyer. There's too much benevolence in 'that, face for a lawyer. He may be a banker." "I am sure he is not! A man with such a heavenly expression couldn't content himself with money getting. His aim in life is higher." "Well, do you think he can be an editor?" "An editor, with such a face! An editor, saying hard things about everybody, ridiculing women's dresses and abusing mothers-in-law! An 'editor, cutting and slashing his enemies, flaying public men indiscriminately, and mercilessly slaughtering his best friends for the sake of a paragraph! No, Arthur, he's a philanthropist. His face plainly indicates that he is all that is good, noble, pure and true." At the next station an inquisitive old fellow took a seat beside the man with the noble brow, rays London Tilt-Bits, and asked him his vocation. The couple opposite held their breath. He replied: "I've a hotel bar and a butcher shop. My wife looks after the bar, and I do my own killin." Ins and Outs. The two young men reached the door at the same time. "Is Miss Swellington in?" they asked. The maid, Norah, looked at them and shook her head disconsolately.

THERE is prevalent in the minds of thoughtful men such unanimity of sentiment and conclusion Dust-Laying Material. A new dust-preventing and dust-laying material for use on roads and streets was tried in Scotland last year, with results said to be promising. It consists of "an aqueous emulsion of wool-washing suds or wool-fat or wool-wax, with or without the addition thereto of a disinfecting oil," and may be applied to country roads, streets and railway beds by spraying. It is described as a by-product, that is, after recovering the major part of the grease from wool washing wastes the remaining wool grease, together with potash and soap fats, are saved for subsequent dilution with water and used for street or road sprinkling. It is said that the emulsion does not clog the spraying apparatus and that its hygroscopic qualities keep down dust for a long time. Engineering News. Mail Route Discontinued. One rural delivery route within a few miles of Kansas City, Mo., has been discontinued and others may be because of the miserable condition of the Missouri roads. Although the county spends about $150,000 a year on macadam roads—this money being derived from dramshop licenses, and most of it collected in Kansas City—comparatively little attention is given to the dirt roads, and it is because of this that the rural service has been discontinued. Difficult Case For Bavarian Judges. The Bavarian courts have had a complicated question of law to decide. A cat, chased by a dog, ran into a stable where a cow was being milked. The cat jumped on the back of the cow, which kicked the milkmaid off her stool. Whom should the maid sue for damages—the owner of the dog, the owner of the cat, or the owner of the cow? The courts have decided that they are all three equally responsible, and each will have to pay one-third of the damages.

YEARS ago—it seems a great many years ago to me—I decided to take Greeley's advice and "go West." It required some little nerve for a young man raised on a farm in New York State to leave his friends and make a break alone into the then almost unknown West. There was a "frontier" then; now there is none. I went to Junction City, Kan., and then on foot south to the Santa Fe Hallroad, which was then just being built, and finally stopped where the city of Wichita now is. At that time it was a military post. I could stand there, then, and looking southwest across the Arkansas River, see the whole country speckled with buffalo as far as the eye could reach. I stayed there a few days, and then went on up the river to what is now Hutchinson. Here I met a man who told me about the Medicine River country, which was about 125 miles further southwest. He represented it as being a well timbered country, with quite high bluffs along the streams, and as all the country where I was then had scarcely any timber, it looked very dreary to me; besides, I had an idea of going into the cattle business, so I decided to go and look at the Medicine River country. I bought a pony and we started. We had heard of a camp of hunters, at the junction of the Medicine and Turkey Creek, who had a wagon trail into Wichita. We went south, so as to strike the wagon trail and follow it to their camp. I proposed taking along some provisions, but my new friends said there was no use buying or carrying supplies, as we could get all the game we wanted; so we went without any provisions. Well, we started out, and there seemed to be a break in the buffalo, as there were none in sight, and we went on all the first day without a chance to kill anything; and slept that night on the ground by a "chip" fire, with nothing to eat and no timber in sight. We were on what I afterward learned was the north fork of the Ninisquaw River. The following day we traveled all day and killed nothing until night, when we stopped on the south fork of the Ninisquaw, and I killed a bird about as large as a robin, which we roasted and divided between us. The following day we began to see buffalo, and about noon came to a timbered stream, and within half an hour I had killed a big turkey; and I think that I never tasted any other turkey quite so good as that was. We camped there in the timber. No one knows just what a luxury timber is to camp in for fuel, until they have camped on the bare prairie and burned chips. That afternoon my friend killed a buffalo. I was greatly surprised at the size of the animal. I had seen the buffalo robes that we used in the East, and which at that time could be bought for from $3 to $10, but they were small, and I learned that the large ones were never made into robes, as their great thickness called for too much work to dress them. White men never dressed robes; the Indians did that, as their time was worth nothing. A equaw would work a month or two tanning a hide; then her lord and master would trade it to a white man for a plug of tobacco or a pint of freewater. We went on the next day and reached the hunters' camp, which was owned by Captain Griffin, formerly of Dutchess County, New York. The following fall Captain Griffin was killed by the Indians about thirteen miles from his camp on the head of Mule Creek. He was a fine shot, and although he had a wooden leg below the knee, he was one of the best horsemen I ever saw. It was by means of the wooden leg that we were able to identify his bones when we found his remains. He had a needle gun, and in the buffalo wallow, where his bones were, we found about 100 empty shells, which showed that they had fought there for some time. There was a man from Pennsylvania by the name of Van Buren with Captain Griffin at that time. We buried their bones together. The Medicine-River country was an ideal one for game. The bottoms were well timed, and there were plenty of red deer and turkeys in the timber; the prairies were alive with buffalo and antelope. Sometimes the buffalo would mass together and form a vast herd, and when once started to run, would go for no one could know how long. I have seen a mass of them, say half a mile wide and perhaps two miles long, all on the run in a solid body. They would come to a stream and go roaring over the bluff and through the water, and come in sight on the other side, and the great black river of living animals would go pouring on across the prairie. If something alarmed those in front they would wheel like a body of cavalry by the flank, and on they would go in another direction. While this great mass of animals would be sweeping past, others would be grazing or lying down, and would not appear to pay any attention to the galloping herd, unless in front of it, and then they usually joined the herd and went with it. The numbers were so great that it simply went past the power of enumeration, and one might as well attempt to count the sands on the seashore. I saw them once in June so thick that they nearly drank the small streams dry, and polished the water so that it was almost impossible to get any to drink. The buffalo was a noble animal. Its habits differ from those of the deer family entirely; with antelope, red deer, elk, caribou and moose there is a similarity in habits of them all, but the buffalo has no relatives. When a bull became old and was whipped he became a social outcast, and was driven from the herd, and no others would associate with him. He wandered around by himself, and finally became a prey to the wolves. Wherever there were buffalo there were wolves. They would hang around the outskirts of the herds and wait for a chance for an old one or a cripple or a calf. A great deal has been written about the warlion waste and destruction of the buffalo, the substance of which no doubt is correct; but did you ever stop to think that it would be impossible to operate a farm in a country where buffalo roamed at will? A herd sweeping down across the country would stamp the farm into the ground, and a fence would be no more obstruction to them than a spider's web. Stock could not be herded in a buffalo country; they, would stampede the cattle and ruin a cattle man. They had to go. The country that they had used for ages civilization demanded for homes for civilized men, and they had to go the same as the Indians had to go. When the buffalo disappeared, it had one blessed effect; it compelled the Indian to keep near the military post, from when they drew their supplies. When the buffalo was plenty, they could wander where they pleased, and were sure of plenty to eat; they could go on their devilish raids and murder settlers, who, with their labor, were striving to make homes for their loved ones. The buffalo are gone, and it would have been a great blessing to humanity if the Indian could have been wiped off the face of the earth at the same time. The buffalo helped the settler to meat, while at the same time he fed the settler's enemy. His room was needed. He roamed over this continent in millions, accomplishing no good except to feed a race of vagabonds that have left no trace of their ownership on the face of the land except the graves of their murdered victims. Here, instead, are millions of homes, where dwell a happy and contented people. From the hiltop where the worthless Indian watched for some one to stay, now rises the church spire or the flag of the school house. God, in His supreme wisdom, never intended that this vast fertile continent should belong to a few wandering barbarians when suffering humanity demanded it as a place for Christian homes.—Forest and Stream. A Chicago in Korea. The Koreans eat a great deal of meat and the raising of beef cattle is an industry which promises to grow most lucrative under Japanese direction; but it must be under Japanese direction, for the Koreans have no initiative. The hills of Korea, or at least the foothills of the verdureless peaks, offer fine grazing in some provinces, and the common cattle bean that grows thickly in almost any kind of soil fattens very rapidly, and if the Japanese are wise they might make Seoul in time an Oriental Chicago. The Koreans themselves have no niceties of selection as to the part of an animal or fowl, and they consume everything, from the entrails to the hide, without wasting any time in the process of cleaning and dressing. Nor do they consider cooking always - necessity. In common with the American Indian, they consider steaming hot, fresh, raw liver, a great delicacy when it is dipped in a mixture of condiments more or less resembling Chinese soy. I take the word of others for this, because, having once witnessed a government "beef issue" to the Indians near Ft. Reno, in Oklahoma, I could not be induced to look voluntarily upon such another exhibition in any part of the world. The man who has written the best "history of Korea" did it before he ever set foot in the country. He had at his command all the records in the Chinese language, which he read as easily as his own, and he dwells with great glee upon the Korean "fatted calf," which is usually a fowl or animal, of some sort cooked and served without having been marred by knife or water. A man who served such a feast is considered to be a most generous host—Leslie Magazine. Caught Big Shark on Fish Line. While fishing off the terminal dock about noon yesterday N. Gonzales hooked an-eight-foot shovel-near shark and drew it up to the dock with an ordinary fish line. The monster was easily drown in and made but little resistance until a heaving line was thrown over him and the slip knot began to tighten, and then the fun commenced. The water was lashed into foam for many feet around and the strength of several men was required to prevent its escape. Two boat hooks were finally brought into play on the back and sides of the big fish and very soon it was conquered and hauled on the dock. It was hideous and frightful looking and was viewed by numbers of people in the afternoon—Miami (Flla) 'Record. AMILASIAELSPIN Farmer Tole How He Uses Geese Instead of Negroes. I will state a few facts about having geese graze the grass in cotton rows, instead of hoeing out the grass, having had some experience. As many will remember, the years 1900 and 1901 were very poor cotton years in this section. Owing to excessive rainfall in 1900 I tended ten acres of land to confine geese in my cotton patch. Early in May in chopped my cotton, putting it to a stand. Then I ran two furrows with a twelve inch sweep. The 22d day of May it commenced raining, and I never plowed my cotton any more until the 12th of June. The crab grass then was about three or four inches high. I gave it a thorough plowing, leaving grass only in the grill. Thirteen head of geese were kept in the ten acre field; and their work took the place of hoeing so well, that the next time I plowed the cotton there was no grass. This crop produced 1000 pounds of seed cotton per acre. In 1901 cotton was grown in this field, with one hoeing, and produced 1200 pounds of seed cotton per acre while other lands on my place made nothing. The crops in other fields were ruined with grass. If any brother farmer questions this statement, let him fence his cotton field with woven wire fencing or two six-inch plank and one barbed wire at the top; leave all the crab grass he can in 'hopping out his cotton, and keep it well plowed. If he has to pick his cotton in the grass I will pay the damages. Besides he can pick his gcees every six weeks. The feathers will pay all the cost of feeding them in the winter months. Those who want to use boards to make a fence can put the lowest board two inches from the ground, the second one four inches above that one, and one wire six inches above the top board. The only difficulty about using a rail fence for this purpose is that between the rails or between the bottom rail and the ground there are likely to be holes so large that geese will get through. Geese will not get over such a fence unless they get to flying. If they start to flying, one wing may be clipped without injury and will stop the flying. It is scarcely necessary to call attention to the fact that a fence to hold geese does not have to be strong like it does for hogs, etc., since geese do not root under it or push against it. For those who desire to try this plan and desire to know how many geese they will need, I will say that fifteen geese do the work of one hoe hand. I consider that a goose to the acre is what is necessary to make a crop—that is, for ten acres use ten geese. Geese never hurt cotton at all. Any kind of pasture will do for them during the remalder of the growing season, when they are not needed in the cotton. Many persons will imagine that the geese will need much water, but a trough of water placed in the cotton patch will do for them. It may be to the point for me to state that I am planning to grow cotton this year by using geese instead of hoe hands. J. M. Arnold, Starkville, Miss, in Southern Farm Gazette. Crows Ald Searchers. Crowds fluttering in the air and ceaselessly calling and croaking directed a searching party from the city and the surrounding country to the spot where the daughter, but three and a half years old, of Henry Pehling, who lives near Round Lake, had spent the night and was lying in a stupor. The child had wandered away some time yesterday, and the father conducted a search as best he could until 2 o'clock this morning. Then, feeling that his child had probably perished, he came to Anoka and aroused the officials. The search was then taken up by the Sheriff, chief of police, the country attorney and county auditor, who hurriedly drove to the lake, and, bright and early this morning, found the child lying on the ground with the uncanny birds flying about her and making their dismal calls. Rain which came through the night fell upon the little girl and she was drenched to the skin. However, she soon recovered and called for her mother, and after being fed, sank into restful sleep. Despite her tearful experience, it is believed she will experience no harmful effects.—Anoka Correspondence St. Paul Dispatch. Murderer Defends Bia Jailers It is not often that a condemned murderer takes up the pen in defense of his jailers. This has been recently done by Lucheni, the murderer of the Empress of Austria. The regicide's conduct in jail has been so good that he is allowed to possess a few books in his cell, and to read certain journals, French by preference, because, though an Italian, he has taken a fancy for learning French and takes constant lessons in it from a prison official. Reading in one of these journals that he is harshly treated in prison, and that his features have become almost unrecognizable as a result, he became very angry, and although warned that letters from him could not be despatched, wrote a memorial to the Swiss Government declaring that his treatment is humane and even kind. This memorial is written not only in French, but in good French, of which, at the time of his condemnation in 1898, the regicide knew not a word—Neues Wiener Tagblatt. In the mythology of Europe horses have always been considered bearers of luck, and there was a superstitious which once was current that the presence of a horse's hoof, under the bed would cure certain complaints. Do not be afraid of getting too much commercial phosphate under the crop, except nitrate of soda, which should be used as a top dressing on all pulverized plants. Stray Tools.' If some farmers would just calculate the time they sometimes use up in hunting for tools that have gone astray there would very shortly be a "place for everything and everything in its place." It doesn't pay to use up a dollar's worth of time to hunt for a fifty-cent tool that has been lost or mislaid. New That You Are Promenus: New York You are Proficient. There is no getting over the fact that at the present time the greater majority of the American farmers are prosperous and fairly well fixed financially. This being the case, isn't the present a most opportune time for you to send your son, or sons, to some good agricultural college or school? By so doing you can assist him in his pursuit of knowledge, which will, in after years, be of untold assistance to him in advancing the business of agriculture and making himself independent of others, so far as this world goes. New York Witness. Alfalfa as a Hog Food "At one of the Canadian institutes a speaker said that "in no way will alfalfa yield a larger return than as a pasture for hogs. A great many of the farmers are doing this; and are getting very large returns. I know one who kept ten head of hogs to the acre of alfalfa, and they were not able to keep it down, and he cut it for hay once and got a ton to the acre. It is possible to grow large good hogs on alfalfa without any other food, but the best results have been obtained from feeding a small amount of some other food along with it, such as corn. I would feed about two ears per day to hogs pastured on alfalfa." Why Flowing Kills the Bust On most soils fall plowing lays the ground open to the action of the elements, rendering fertility available, loosening and fining the soil and destroying insects and vermin. Another advantage is that it enables the farmer to sow his grain earlier than he otherwise could, for at the first thawing, before plowing is possible, he could sow his wheat. Besides, if it should be a bug year he gains on them by early planting, and the grain is out of the way before the chinch bug becomes numerous. The harrow cannot be used too much for surface fitting. The roller is a dangerous implement except on light sandy soils. It used on heavy lands it should generally precede sowing and at least one harrowing follow it. On fall plowed lands disking and harrowing in the spring is sufficient. Plowing may safely be omitted when the wheat follows corn or some clean-cultivated crop on grass lands or where weeds or other growths are-prevalent it is best to plow to a depth of five inches, turning under all green growth, then prepare with disk and steel-tooth harrows. Don't skimp the harrowing, it is the important part—Farming. Kohlrabi For Stocks. This root is cultivated much in the same way as Swede turnips, but is somewhat more hardy—that is, bears a little more roughing it in a general way. Manure at the rate of sixteen tons of good farmyard dung to the acre, work the ground to a fine tilth, and drill on the flat as soon as the ground is ready. It is a characteristic of the crop that it may be varied in its time of sowing from early in April until after mid-summer. It is really of the cabbage family, and, like the cabbage, may be transplanted. If it is found more convenient to rear the plants on a nursery bed. Unlike the Swede, it flourishes on clay land. It sown directly in field, drill in rows twenty inches apart, four pounds of seed per acre, lightly roll to cover the seed and to leave a level surface to the ground. Top dress as soon as the plants appear with some active dressing—say, guan-ao the rate of 400 pounds per acre, or it may be sown as soon as the seed is drilled, or even with the seed. Single the plants out in due time. Store in precisely the same manner as mangel or Swedes, and serve to stock in a similar manner. It is claimed for kohlrabi that when served to dairy cows it does not make the butter strong, as Swedes are so apt to do. There are only two varieties in use—the "short top" and the "hardy green." Both are suitable for field or garden. The former is the earlier, but the latter suits sheep and lambs quite as well—probably a bit better.—Boston Cultivator. Renovating a Horse. Farm horses generally have a hard spring, as arrears of work have to be caught up hurriedly, and the soil is exceptionally heavy to work. The horses will, undoubtedly, enjoy and benefit by a rest or less work, and being out at the grass is a great easement in many ways. The buggy or riding horse on the farm is not usually overworked, and unless on extra duty the grass alone should keep it in condition. Any partial cripples that have been made as much use of as possible—and an old horse or two are often very useful on the farm—should be given a complete rest on the grass to recomp against haying time. When there is a milk run, the milk cart horse is the one which has as much hard work to do as any one on the farm. He is at it daily, Sunday included, which sooner or later generates weakness, mostly in the legs, and 'n rest on the grass is not only well merited, but highly adven- tageous, especially if given in time, and before the horse has become a chronite cripple. When these horses are put out and rested a month or so—and this is none too long—they should have their shoes taken off and run barefooted. Hacks which have been much employed during the winter, but are now not so much used, should never be kept in the stable, as a run at grass is much the better way of either resting or improving them. If the winter work has been hard and the horses are run down, the sooner the rest and grass cure is begun the better. To run them on till the fall will only increase their alliments, while a rest in time will often quite cure deficiencies, which, if let go or aggravated by further cause, may end in serious loss or permanent flaws. A horse that really needs a rest should have nothing short of one month. Two would be better in many cases, while three months will rejuvenate most animals in a satisfactory manner. If possessed of any aliments which no veterinarian can relieve or remove, this attention should be given when grazing begins, or grazing should follow the treatment closely, if it cannot be accomplished when on grass and out. The most favorable land for recruiting horses is that of a marshy character. Leg and foot aliments are the most common, and soft ground is desirable as a remedy, but it should always be associated with good grass. A good water supply should invariably be a condition of horse grazing fields, which should be absolutely free of barbed wire, broken rails or sharp projections, which are likely to enter either foot or body. Shade in hot weather is also enjoyed, and if not sufficiently supplied by trees, an open shed should be erected. In that case rough, strong posts and any kind of cool roof answer the purpose perfectly.—W. R. Gilbert, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Egg-Eating Habit. "The egg-eating habit is held to a good many causes. However, in my experience I have seldom noticed it where plenty of oyster shell or shell-forming material was at hand. It generally has its beginning where fowls get to laying soft-shelled eggs. There are two reason for this—a soft-shelled egg is an invitation to a fowl to help itself and also if they did not need the shell element they would not lay soft shells unless in the case where the fowls are over-fat," says C. A. Stone in Poultry Standard. "There are a good many remedies, but I have never run across any that were absolutely sure every time. The most practical way I have ever struck is to catch the leader, if possible, at the very beginning, before the flock has learned the trick, and apply the hatchet cure. Or where the habitat is universal supply all the oyster shells they can eat. Keep them hustling for their feed. Gather the eggs as often as possible; don't leave any in the nest if you can possibly help it. Also supply a liberal amount of animal food, a piece of raw meat hung up where they will have to jump for it to detract their attention, as with other habits. Then stock up with a number of loaded eggs. Take a few eggs and crack them apart, keeping the shell as whole as possible. Then make a paste, mixed up with a liberal supply of red pepper, altogether too much for comfort, or something similar; now by filling the shell we have an egg which, if supplied liberally for a few days, will generally discourage the egg-eating habit very soon. This remedy combined with keeping the nests in a dark location will almost always effect a cure." Farm and Garden Notes. There is no soil too good for the garden. Poor seed in good soil is making a poor use of a good thing. For the best and most tender vegetables the ground must be rich. Every orchard that is well cultivated can be made to pay handsomely. Keep the stables clean; standing in wet manure tends to make the feet of the horses tender. Systematic training is of value in handling young colts; teach them one thing at a time and learn it thoroughly. With poultry, as with other farm products, one secret in being able to secure good prices lies in the offering of good stock. The proper way to feed corn to young chickens is to give in a crushed or cracked condition, and it may be fed dry or scalded. In breeding for color, always select birds, a shade darker than the color you want to breed, as fowls are inclined to breed lighter. The crowding together of young chicks is productive of more evil than almost any other form of mismanagement, and especially so in summer. Catch the first toad you see and place it in the garden. Aside from his usefulness in catching insects he is an amusing creature, for when he stands he slits and when he runs he hops. Seeds of all vine crops may be sown on inverted sods in the cold frame. After danger of frost has passed, the sods and plants should be removed intact to prepared hills in the garden. Place four plants to the hill. In the mountains of Panay and other islands of the southern Philippines moths can be scraped up by the quart. The natives have learned to prize them as an article of food, and they now collect and eat them in large quantities. DR PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE CELERY FOOD is a perfect food, as it contains the most essential elements to supply energy for the performance of the various body functions.

Consul General Bray reports from Melbourne that a new rabbit trap is being used in Australia with great success, whereby rabbits may be caught alive in very large numbers. It is used in concession with small trap yards, diagrams for the construction of which are supplied by the patentee of the traps. The trap itself is 18 inches long, 12 inches high and 6 inches in width. It has a balanced moving floor and a door at each end, which opens and closes automatically. The weight of a rabbit on the inverse end of a floor closes the door behind him by which he has entered and opens the door in front leading to the trap yard, so that the rabbit has no option but to go on, and when he leaves the trap it goes back to its former position, thus resetting itself. The small trap yards are constructed of double-wire netting fences, in the spaces between which green fodder or hay is cultivated or provided, and, although these foods cannot be reached by the rabbits, it entitles them to enter through the traps to try and get out the fodder from the other side. Two, three or more traps may be used in connection with each trap yard. The invention has been tried with great success on several extensive ranches in Australia, and the invader has a number of certificates from leading ranchmen, one of whom states that with two of the traps set at a small water hole he caught 630 rabbits in one night. Excessive Use of Ices. It was estimated a few years ago that the ice cream consumed during the summer months in the city of Cincinnati alone would make a mountain taller than the highest public building in the city. This gives but a faint idea of the extent to which the American people use ice and all kinds of ice drinks. Physicians tell us that ice eaten hurriedly or in large quantities arrest digestion and are otherwise injurious. In addition to this, much of the ice cream sold in cities is of the most inferior kind and the cheap flavoring as well as the ingredients used in "doctoring" it, and the fact that it is frequently left standing for several days at a time reader it most unpleasant. The English give us an example of moderation in the use of lees that we might well imitate and the sooner we learn to check our appetite along this line, the better will be our health and the less our doctor's bills.

A physician says: "Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stomach. "Last fall I began the use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and since then I have not had any indigestion and am feeling better and have increased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all of my patients suffering from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not, overtax the stomach. "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For ethical reasons please omit my name." Name given by mail by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The reason for the wonderful amount of nutriment, and the easy digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to find. In the first place the starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through various processes of cooking to perfectly change the starch into Dextrose or Post Sugar, in which state it it ready to be easily absorbed by the blood. The parts in the wheat and harley-which Nature can make use of for rebuilding brain and nerve centres are retained in this remarkable food, and thus the human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers so easily noticed after one has eaten Grape-Nuts each day for a week or 10 days.

RICHARDS NEW YORK CITY—In the Brick Presbyterian Church, Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. William R. Richards, preached to a large congregation on "Following Jesus." He took for his text Matthew ix:19. "And Jesus arose and followed him and so did his disciples," and said: You remember the story. The man was named Jolrus. He was, it is true, a ruler of the synagogue, but that meant little more than the leader of a prayer meeting. It would have been just the same had he been a beggar. He was a beggar on this occasion: "While Jesus spake these things, behold, there came a certain ruler, saying, My daughter is even now dead, but come, and lay thy hands upon her and she shall live. And Jesus rose up and followed him." The secret is out. There was a man who could speak for a moment in a tone of authority, then, to Jesus, because he spends through more immediate contact with the world's sorrow and pain and need; that was what gave him his precedence. Lead on, man! Jesus follows. How strange! It seemed to me that we might take this as one of the messages that remind us of the Lord's humanity, showing how He was shut out by limitation of knowledge, how He must wait until some one came and showed Him the home where the shadow of death was. I suppose it is true in some Godhood. What kind of message is it that comes with authority to the ears of the Creator? Some story of His creature's need. It is our weakness that moves God, our humility, emptiness. It is our cry of emptiness, our cry of need, that moves God. If it were possible to conceive of such a thing as the limitation of the knowledge of God—If you could conceive of yourself as going into the presence of God and informing Him that somewhere in some forgotten corner of His universe there was some unknown creature, unknown to Him, that was perishing for want of Him, and you were the only guide qualified to show the way to that creature, we may say, with all reverence that you could expect God Himself to rise up and follow you. And Jesus rose up and followed Jalrus to the house of sorrow. My friends, let us comfort ourselves with the assurance that any such message as that will move the Lord today just as in the days of Jalrus. Whatever pain or sorrow there is in your own house or the house of your friend, you may go to Him straightway and tell Him, and when you return you may be sure that you are taking His presence with you. Be sure a man of that Kind is a privileged character; he thus presides of all. When Jalrus has finished speaking, Jesus rises up and follows him. Now that is only the first part of our text. This is the second part: "And so did His disciples." As disciples it was their business to follow Jesus, and now Jesus was following Jahru. Is not this a most excellent example for any legal church? The question that ought to come to us is the question of leadership, human leadership of a Christian church, and, of course, I shall often expect to find that kind of leadership in the church itself. Men and women experienced In the things of God who can serve as leaders for their younger brethren. It was so in the days of the apostles. Men like Paul who charged the younger members that they should follow him as he was following Christ and it was safe 'counsel. There are leaders in the church, but the question which our text suggests is whether there may ever be any kind of safe leadership inside the church from outside the church. If any man from outside appears and says "come," would it ever be safe for us to follow? Certainly not always. If Christian people are too ready to walk after everybody who beckons them they are likely to wander away from the Master. There comes some new teacher with great pretensions of wisdom who says, "Come, I will lead you into higher regions than your master has been able to show you." Any church that follows such may make up their mind that they will soon lose the Master. Or, again, it may be some high church official who says he will lead you to regions of religious assurance that you have not found in following your Master. In the old days it would have been the Irish Priest; in our day it might be the ancient and splendid hierarchy of the army of Rome, but you and I are persuaded that it is more blessed to follow the Master "who not having seen we love." Christ has never consented that we should follow any human priest. Then, again, the church might consent to follow Caesar or some representative of political power in the world. In following Caesar we run the risk of losing the more important guidance of Jesus. No political power, no human prestige, no wisdom of the human understanding is a safe guide for any church of Christ. Then can you conceive of any human leadership that it would be safe for the church or disciples to follow? Yes. This is him, Jalrus, who comes from outside with this pliful story, and Jesus rises and follows him, and so do his disciples. Any man who knows the way to any kind of human sorrow or need or wrong may claim a hearing from any church of Jesus Christ, and if in the hearing they find he knows the way better than we, he may claim not only a hearing, but the following from the church of Jesus Christ. It is direct imitation of His example. The church has often been too slow: sometimes because we did not like the man who called. The personal character of the leader does not come into the question at all. We want all those in sorrow to know that the best place to come is that the church of Jesus Christ. That the message will receive the prompt attention, and no poor Jalrus need ever go along. Once his history was finished, Jesus got up and followed him, and so did His business. If we are disciples, His business to follow is Jesus. But how I have no doubt that sometimes our Lord shows us the way by those older and wiser in the church and sometimes He exercises His Leadership through those without the church, messengers telling us of some one who needs help, and our business as Christians, not only as churches, but as individuals, is to be listening always for that appeal, looking only to the path that leads to the house where they need us. We cannot see the face of Jesus, we cannot hear His voice; it may even seem to some of us that we have lost the comforting sense of Jesus in our hearts. We ask why He did not leave some gudge whom we could see and follow and who would lead us back to Him and before the words are out of our lips here stands this Jalrus. “Come” he says, and you listen and you rise up and follow him, and as soon as you do something tells you that you are not any longer walking alone. That lost companionship you were mowing for has been restored to you. This was His guide, and you have done well to follow him. This is not my fancy. Let me read you the plain words of the history: "While he spake, behold there came a certain ruler, and when he saw Jesus he fell at his feet and besought him, saying, 'My little daughter loth at the point of death. I pray thee come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live, and Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples." Doers of the Word. To be simply a hearer of God's Word is not only to deceive oneself, but to increase one's responsibility. "Inasmuch as ye did it not" is a sharp sentence which Jesus one day passed upon His unfathalic followers. It is a great thing to remember that God's Word may be translated into Christian living. If for each day we should be guided by one single precept, in the process of time we would come to know our Bibles as thoroughly as we know our own names, but, we would also come to the place where the revelation of Jesus Christ would be very attractively presented to one who might not read God's Word, but who would study our lives. "Be ye therefore doers of the Word, and not hearers only." Look Upward. I cannot understand why those who have given themselves up to God and His goodness are not always cheerful; for what possible happiness can be equal to that? No accidents or imperfections which may happen ought to have, power to trouble them, or to hinder their looking upward.—St. Francis de Sales. Our Pilot. Our Father's hand is at the helm of the universe, not ours. Do not try to carry the labors of the deck hand and the responsibilities of the Pilot.

Douglas' Administration and Jobbing House. The dedication of the new administration and jobbing house building erected at Brockton, Mass., by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings. As the new building is said to be the most complete and convenient of any ever built for a commercial house in the United States, so were the expressions of apprehension by the many persons who visited it for inspection sincere and of it a highly congratulatory nature. The dedicatory program included open house from 14 a.m. to 8 p.m. with concert by the Mace Gay orchestra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent opt, including over 11,000 to the retail dealers in the United States, who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to show manufacturers and all allied industries in Brockton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interested call The new building is situated just north of the No. 1 factory, on Spark street, facing the Montello railroad station. Its completion marks the establishment of a modern up-to-date wholesale jobbing house and office building. Mr. Douglas has long considered the advisability of a jobbing house, not only for the purpose of supplying his own retail stores more readily, but that the 11,000 dealers throughout the Duffed States handling the W. L. Douglas shoe might be able to obtain shoes for immediate use with greater facility. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and customers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received, which will be far more satisfactory to the customer and will result in a largely-increased business to the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. The new building is 200 feet long and 90 feet wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor. Leaving the new jobbing house on the first floor, the main staircase ascends to the second floor level in two divisions separating on the first landing and meeting again upon the fourth, where the large Paladian window is situated, which appears over the entrance. At the head of the staircase in the mosaic floor appears the word "Atrinum," the name of the inner hall, planned and decorated after the manner of the central apartment of the Pompeian house. This room is directly in the center of the main building, being 26x63 and 16 feet in height, and is lighted by three large ceiling skylights of classic design. Around the atrium are placed the private offices, where the heads of the departments are located, with their assistants. Beginning at the right of the main entrance, in order, are those of the G. F. Richmond, buyer; H. T. Drake, general superintendent; Hon. W. L. Douglas, president; and H. L. Tinkham, treasurer. They are finished and furnished in mahogany and are ensuite. Mr. Douglas' own room occupies the southwest corner of the building, and is a very handsome apartment. To the left of these comes the room of C. D. Nevins, assistant treasurer, Mrs. Marlon Shields, correspondence clerk, and the store department. On the east of the atrium and opening into this hall are two alcoves separated by mahogany counters, the fronts of which are plate glass and grilles of bronze. These are the offices of Warren Weekz, paymaster, and Harry L. Thompson, the bookkeeper. The next in order to the left are two rooms devoted to the credit department, one the private office of A. T. Sweetser and the other occupied by his clerks. The next two offices are those of F. L. Erskine, advertising manager, and his assistants. The three other rooms completing the outer wall line of the atrium are the reception room to the left of the staircase hall, directors' room and lavatory and the sample room. Here are located the telegraph instruments, telephone switchboard and booths for use of guests. The directors' room is a fine chamber occupying the space in the northwest corner of the building. This room is finished and furnished in mahogany and all appointments are in keeping. Here hangs a portrait in oil of Mr. Douglas, the president. The last room in this series is the sample room, also in mahogany. On center with the entrance and between the bookkeeper's alcove and the credit department is, a hall leading to the general bookkeeping room, where is located the host of clerks which this huge business employs.

OPERATION AVOIDED the Was Told That an Operation Was In inevitable. How she Escaped it. When a physician tells a woman suffering with serious feminine troubles that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. Miss Margret Merkley There are cases when an operation is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of managing female troubles cured by Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham; "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shopping pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I had a female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this day I have had a medical Yale E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am onto more strong, vigorous and well." Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—If you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don't neglect yourself—try Lyda E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound. In the opinion of the Christian Register we regularly manufacture criminals by due process of law. We shall begin to reduce the supply the minute we exempt children from legal arrest, and protect them from the deadlyaint of the prison house. DLOATED WITH DROPSY. The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West Fourth St., Olympia, Wash., says: "Forover three years I suffered with a dropsicalcondition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I want says. For over three years I suffered with a dropscal condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I want along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles awelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would futter with the least effort.

Froubled Badly Foe Several Years With Kexema on Limb-Another Wonderful Cure by Cuteium. "For several years I was troubled badly with an exema on my limbs and wrists. Physicians in several towns had prescribed for me without giving me any result. I often used Cuteium Diment and received relief temporarily. In the spring of 1954 I took the Cuteium Resolvent Nils and used the Cuteium Diment for two five weeks, and the end of that time those two were a bloom on me anywhere. This spring I took a few vials of the Cuteium Resolvent Pills as a precautionary measure, and will continue to do so every spring simply as a spring ionic, as they are art so easy to carry with you, and they certainly fix your blood for the ensuing year. I now use only Cuteium Sca. The Cuteium Diment and Pills certainly cure me of an aggravated case of exema. St. Clair McVicar, San Antonio, Texas, July 6, 1955."

(A128'06) Wintersmith's CAILL TONIC They A young disciple of Blackstone, who had worked his way through college and taken a full course in the study of law besides, was making a trip through the Southwest in search of an eligible location for the practice of his profession. A thrifty young city, with a considerable body of water on one side of it and a forest on the other, attracted his attention, and he decided to make a few day's stay and investigate. "Putting up" at what seemed to be the best hotel, he ate his dinner, then strolled into the office, and proceeded in a careless way to interrogate the clerk. "There is a good deal of business done in this town, isn't there?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered the young man. "In one way and another there's a good job of business going on here." "Healthy place, isn't it?" "Middling" "Are there much litigation here?" "Is there much nightfall? "No, I haven't heard of any cases of that, but there's a lot of chills an' fever, and occasionally a bad case of the grip." Mites and Hawks, Two Chicken Enemies In his lectures before the students of the Agriculture Department of the University of Missouri T. E. Orr, secretary of the American Poultry Association, told methods of combatting mites and chicken hawks that might easily be used by every Missouri housowife. Mites, he says, might be gotten rid of by spraying the chicken house with a mixture of one part crude carbolic acid and eight parts carbon oil. This mixture he recommends in preference to mite exterminators sold by traveling agents. Hawks, he claims, may be kept out of the poultry yard by attaching bright pieces of tin, six by ten inches, to the trees and poles surrounding quarters, by strings two feet long so that the wind will make the blight metal dance in the sunlight. Both steel and gold pens are apparently doomed. Dr. Werner von Bolton delivered before the Electro-Technical Association in Berlin, the other day, an address in which he described the new metal tantalite, which is so hard that a diamond drill makes no impression on it.

Mrs. Monmouth Found the Church Bare of All Ornament and without an Organ—Use She Made of Worsted and Paper—Mecca for Sightseers. Probably the most unique church to be found anywhere in New Hampshire and probably in the New England states is the little union house of worship in Eact Canterbury, some six miles from Canterbury Cgntre and 10 miles from the nearest railroad, writes the Canterbury correspondent of the Boston Herald. The little church, which is known throughout New Hampshire as the "Worsted" church has been the home of the Congregational and Methodist societies since 1839, the year in which the building was erected. The unique feature of this meeting-house is its interior, which is decorated wholly with worsted and paper, but considerably more worsted than paper, and it was on this account that the edifice received its name, the "Worsted" church. While this place of worship is in a secluded part of the town, to which access is gained only by walking or driving over 10 miles of country roads from the Canterbury station of the Boston & Malne railroad, the church register shows that hundreds of visitors are shown through the church every year and especially during the summer season by Frank Brown of East Canterbury, who is custodian of the little edifice: The residents of the town frequently visit the place, and are regular attendants at every Sunday service which is held during the summer season, when it is possible to secure a clergyman to fill the pulpit. To the natives and more especially to those who are members of the church, Methodists or Congregationalists, the place is the pride of the town. The people of Canterbury swore by the decorator, who was also the preacher, and she was Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Monmouth. To all Canterbury and the surrounding country Mrs. Monmouth was a redeemer. She was always sought in case of trouble and her advice was final. When any of the good Christian people were ill and feared they were going to die they had to see Mrs. Monmouth and a few comforting words from her had a better effect than much of the medicine prescribed by the village doctor'or by his wife in his absence. The preacher held the esteem of every man, woman and child in the village and she respected him. Mrs. Monmouth, who was pastor of the church, died nearly 20 years ago, after administering to the spiritual wants of the people of Canterbury for more than 10 years. Her death was due to overwork in striving to do what was almost impossible in the little church, where she preached, lived, slept, cooked and ate. While she had a comfortable little home in Canterbury Centre, sime six miles away, she was too anxious to be near her people, and on that account she made her home as near to them as possible, and found that the church was the best place she could be found day or night. Her principal services were on the Sabbath, when she held one in the morning and another in the evening, with Sunday school at the noon hour. During the week, too, she had prayer services, and although many of her congregation lived miles away, they never found it inconvenient to attend and listen to her advice to men and women. Mrs. Monmouth was not an ordained preacher, nor did she have a license; but she took the place of the regular pastor one Sunday during his absence and made such an impression upon the congregation that a committee of the churchmen waited upon her and asked her to fill the pulpit regularly. She consented to do so, and in less than a month she was the regular preacher. When Mrs. Monmouth assumed charge the inferior of the church was without decorations of any kind. There was not a picture on the walls, and, in fact there was nothing but the pulpit and pews. The Sunday services consisted of a sermon by the pastor, and occasionally the members would attempt to sing a psalm without the aid of an organ or plano. While the preacher was a good pastor, he had a small congregation and saw no prospects for enlarging it. When the new preacher assumed charge she purchased an organ and installed it in the choir gallery, and in the choir loft she placed a little motto, "Give thanks and sing," which she worked out in worsted in brackenburg. This was the first of a series of worsted needlework, and from that day for nearly 10 years, or almost during the entire time of her pastorate, she worked daily upon something or other of worsted which she used to decorate the interior of the little meeting house. Several of the quotations which she worked out in worsted and framed in the same material before hanging on the walls were very appropriate, the members of the church say, and among them were, "Get wisdom. God loveth a cheerful giver," which was hung over the poor-box; "Enter betimes the open door," which was in a conspicuous place in the vestibule, and another, "Work while the day lasts. The night cometh wherein none can work," hangs on the wall, where no one can fall to see it. Over the pulpit is probably the most elaborate which she worked out in a frame. This reads: "We are come unto Mt. Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first born which are written in heaven and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus, the meditator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaketh better things than that of Abel." The decorations include draperies, streamers of worsted and paper suspended from the walls and ceiling with festoons of the same material where the streamers meet. Window shades, table covers and a thousand and one other things about the interior of the little edifice are of worsted, and those who were very intimate with the preacher say that she used thousands of yards of the material to do the work, and what was more, she purchased it out of her salary, expending every cent in that direction. The work throughout is artistic and the many colored shades of worsted are blended together with the greatest accuracy. The best of material was used, and much of the work is of such an excellent design that the pastor was acknowledged as an artist after she completed it. Worsted flowers, white calla lilies, roses, Mayflowers, and almost every flower in worsted adorn the pulpit and a circular arch which extends over it. While these decorations have been in the church for more than a quarter of a century they are in almost the same condition today as they were when they were first put up. While the pastor was alive, she personally took care of the decorations and kept them clean, and her example was followed by the members of the church after her death. During the whole time Mrs. Monmouth was engaged in the decorating, and that was almost the whole time she was pastor, she made her home in the choir loft and she would give it up Sunday to the choir singers. Although she was recognized as a good preacher and a most attractive pastor, she was also considered very eccentric and the idea of decorating a church with worsted was one of her greatest eccentricities. As a preacher she followed the style of Henry Ward Beecher and very frequently memorized his sermons and delivered them to her congregation. While her regular congregation never numbered more than 50 she was always favored with a large audience of townspeople, and in the summer by vacationists. The seating capacity, which is 200, was very frequently taxed to its utmost capacity. After her death the Union Society of Methodists and Congregationalists was unable to secure a pastor, and only during the summer months services are held. At all times during the year the church is open to the public, and if there is anything that Sexton Brown likes it is to show visitors through the old edifice. Another eccentricity the pastor possessed was her fad upon economy, and while she was worth thousands of dollars, she boasted that she lived on 10 cents a day and had all she wanted to eat for that money. She was so anxious to have her friends follow her example that she wrote a book upon the question and 'distributed them among her friends; but they took such little interest in that part of her preaching that there is not one of the books to be found today in Canterbury. She died January 16, 1857, at the age of 59, at the home of a relative in London. TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG. Big Bird Killed In Virginia—Superstitions of Long Shore Hunters. In most communities there are certain persons who possess peculiar characteristics, habits and beliefs, and this is true of the 'long shore sportsman of the old Mother State as of persons dwelling elsewhere. Many of the old time sportsmen still carry and use their muzzle loading guns, which cannot be displaced by more modern arms. They usually manage to bag a good many birds and other game, and this is chiefly due, it is believed to their knowledge of the habits of the game. They seldom go out without finding something. A story is told of one gunner who if any of the shot should fall from his hands while loading his gun will at once return home and make no further effort to hunt that day, believing, as he says, that those lost were his luck shot, and it would be useless for him to continue the hunt. Another, whom I will call here Capt. Pete, is a sailor and all round yachtsman. He loves to tell of his adventures with his dogs and gun, and is seldom seen without them. He tells many stories about the accuracy of Sweet Lips, his gun, and declares he can beat any man in "a shootin' for a turkey in the United States of Virginia." On the occasion of a turkey hunt near the Rappahannock River Capt. Pete clams to have shot a forty pound wild turkey, for which he was offered $4 cash. The gray whiskers on the turkey's breast were eighteen inches long and he had one wooden leg. Here Capt. Pete gives a laugh that could be heard a half mile away. "Sar, he was the biggest turkey I ever saw. There were eighteen fellows in the bunch of us, and four others, and all ate a sumptuous meal from one-half of his breast." Uncle Pete says he cannot account for the one wooden leg unless that turkey had been previously owned by some one as a pet wild turkey.—Forest and Stream. Dinier—Is it customary to tip the waiter in this-restaurant? Walter—Why—ah—yes, sir. "Then hand me a tip. I've waited three-quarters of an hour for that steak I ordered."—Sphero FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Try This Salad. Cut hard-bolled eggs in even slices. Dispose of these, alternately, with thin slices of Bologna sausage, crown shape on a serving dish. Season a pint of cold, bolled potato cubes and half a pint of the beet root cubes, separately with sauce tartare. Turn these into the centre of the crown, sprinkle the whole with chopped parsley and serve at once. For the sauce tartare add to a generous cup of mayonnaise dressing one-fourth a cup of very fine chopped olives, capers, gherkins and parsley. Orgeat. Boll two quarts of milk with a stick of cinnamon, then remove the spice and allow the milk to cool. Blanch and peel a quarter pound of Jordan almonds and when cold pound to a paste with orange flower water. Sweeten with milk, add the almond paste and let it cook a few moments only, lest the almonds become oily. Strain through a fine sieve or linen tammy, leaving the milk smooth. Place on ice until ready to serve, which must be the day it is made, as it does not keep well. This is a refreshing drink in case of hay fever or influenzas of any sort and was formerly considered an indispensable refreshment for parties. Green Pea Soup. This is a green pea puree, and makes a most delicious soup. Shell half a peck of peas and wash a handful of the pods. Put both in a stewpan, with a small peeled onion, one cabbage lettuce, previously washed and a handful of washed spinche; add enough water or stock to well cover the ingredients, also a pinch of carbonate of soda and a little salt. Boll until the peas are tender, and rub the whole through a sieve. Melt one ounce of butter in a stewpan, and add to it a heaped up tablespoonful of corn flour; cook for a few minutes without allowing, it to brown, then pour in the puree of peas, etc., reheat and allow it to cook for ten minutes, season with salt and white-pepper and add a little cream or milk. Just before serving add a teaspoonful of finely chopped green mint and a teaspoonful of castor sugar; serve with small dice of fried bread. Parched Popcorn. When the sweet corn commences to ripen in the garden select several fine ears having large firm grains and let these ears remain just as they are on the stalks to ripen. When they are quite dry remove from the corn stalks without disturbing the husks, bind into bunches with a strip of muslin and hang away in the attic in a dry place. After a few weeks, according to What to Eat, the corn will be ready for parching and then this new sort of popcorn may be enjoyed. Place an iron spider or frying pan over the fire, and turn into it a cupful or two of the corn, which should be husked and removed from the ear just before using; the fire must not be too hot and the corn must be stirred frequently with a long fork, or it may scorch. After a time the grains will have puffed up until they are almost round and will turn a delicate brown color when they are done. Turn the parched corn into a large bowl and pour over it some melted butter, stirring the corn kernels about so they will be buttered evenly, as one butters ordinary popcorn; salt the corn as soon as buttered and the corn is ready to eat. This dainty may be called "parched popcorn" to distinguish it from ordinary popcorn. Hints to Housekeepers. A package or envelope sealed with white of egg cannot be steamed open. It is an old saying that pepper on strawberries will increase the digestibility of the fruit. White tissue paper is invaluable to the traveler as it will wipe away the greasy look on the face better than soap and water. Inhaling the fumes of vinegar from a well saturated cloth will overcome the effects of ordinary anesthetics and prevent the unpleasant nausea. The lumps of sugar served with the black coffee by one woman have been rubbed with the skins of lemons. For tea she rubs the sugar with orange peel. "Eat olive oil abundantly and live on vegetables with little or no meat if you would have a good complexion and a clear head," is the advice of an old doctor. An economical woman has discovered that men's worn linen collars cut into narrow strips furnish convenient substitutes for the wax tapers used in gas lighters. Beans may easily be removed from the pods by passing the latter between the rolls of a clothes wringer. This is a convenient and rapid method and doesn't harm the beans. A brilliant polish may be given to brass door fixtures, ornaments, etc., by washing them in alum and lye. Make a solution by boiling an ounce of alum in a pint of lye, and wash the articles in it. A good way to keep silver bright that, is in daily use is to place it in hot borax water occasionally and allow it to stand an hour or two; rinse with clear, hot water, and then wipe with a clean, dry towel. BLIND AND DEAF CENSUS. One Person In 1,200 In United States Blind and One In Every 850 Deaf, According to Report Issued. About one person in every 1,200 was blind and one in every 850 persons was dumb in the United States in 1900, according to a special census report on the blind and deaf in the United States in that year, just issued by the census office at Washington. The inquiry was conducted under the direction of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. The total number of blind in the United States in 1900 was 64,763, of whom 35,645 were totally blind, and 29,118 partially blind. Of the total blind 37,054 were males and 27,703 females. Almost 65 per cent of the blind became blind after 20 years of age. About one-tenth of the total number of blind were born so. The number of blind per 1,000 of population was greater among the negrees than among the whites. In about 5 per cent of the cases of blindness reported the parents of the blind were cousins. Of the blind whose parents were so related 25 per cent were congenitally blind, while among the blind whose parents were not cousins the proportion congenitally blind was only 6.8 per cent. Of the blind at least 10 years of age, 20 per cent were engaged in some gainful occupation. The percentage of persons engaged in the professional pursuits, trade larger among the totally blind than among the general population. Deafness, on the whole, the report says, is more common in the northern part of the United States than in the southern, and there are more males than females. The total number of deaf in the United States is given as 39,237, of which 37,248 were totally deaf and 51,861 partially dear. From the latter class, however, are eliminated those merely "hard of hearing." The census report of 1890 gave the number of persons deaf as 121,178 and the opion is expressed that the returns for 1890 are undoubtedly excessive while those for 1900 are deficient. Of the totally deaf 52.5 per cent were males. Negroes constitute 11.6 per cent of the general population and only 5.2 per cent of the deaf. That the negroes seem less susceptible to deafness than the whites, the report says, is probably due in part to less complete returns for the negro deaf. Of the totally deaf 91 per cent were from childhood (under 20 years of age) and 36 per cent from birth. Of the 89,257 persons returned as deaf, 55,501 were able to speak well, 9,417 imperfectly, and the remainder not at all. Heredity has played a part in producing congenital deafness, and the deafness occurring in adult life; whereas deafness occurring in early childhood after birth and under the age of five, is probably to a large extent adventitious. Of those at least ten years of age among the deaf, 38.5 per cent were gainfully employed as compared with 50.2 per cent among the general population. ROJESTVENSKY ACQUITTED. Russian Admiral Saves His Hide by a Narrow Margin. Admiral Rojestvensky, whose trial on the charge of surrendering to the enemy after the battle of the Sea of Japan began before a courtmartial at Cronstadt, Russia, July 4, was acquitted Tuesday after the court had debated for nearly ten hours. Four officers of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi, who were placed on trial with the admiral, were found guilty of having premeditatedly surrendered the Bedovi, and all four were condemned to death by shooting. But on account of extenuating circumstances, the emperor will be requested to commute the sentences of the four officers to dismissal from the service and to be deprived of certain rights which they would otherwise enjoy. DONKEY EXPERIMENT FAILS. "Burros" Sent to Philippines Drown in Torrential Rains. Some time ago the insular bureau of the war department embarked upon the experiment of sending into the Philippines a few American donkeys known as "burros," for use among the Spanish speaking people. Mail advices from the islands now state that seven, or about half of the consignment, were drowned in the torrential rains of the "wet" season, the animals being caught out in the open and not knowing how to shelter themselves like the native beasts of burden. The natives, who were a little afraid of the animals, declared that the burros had drowned because they did not have sense enough to come in out of the rain. RESTRAINS POOL ROOMS. Vigorous Fight Being Made on the Gamblera at Hot Springs. A temporary injunction restraining the several pool rooms and turf exchanges of Hot Springs from operating, was granted Monday by Chancellor Curl, on the grounds that they are corruptors of youth, are harboring places of law breakers, and are common nuisances.
