```markdown ``` VOL. XXIII. DRIVING BLIZZARD Rages with Frightful Fury in States of Middle West. Snowstorms, Sleet and High Waters Give Luokless Denizens of That Section of the Country a Strenucus Time. The most violent storm that has visited Chicago in many years commenced Tuesday at 7 o'clock in the morning, and by 4 o'clock in the afternoon seven inches of snow had fallen and it was still coming down heavily. The wind at frequent intervals blew with a velocity of 50 miles an hour, and it hurled the snow through the streets in such blinding clouds that it was impossible to see for a greater distance than a half square, and often the range of vision would be limited to a few feet. A great number of accidents of a minor character were caused by collisions between wagons and street cars. At 5 o'clock, when the homegoing crowd was at its thickest, the wind was blowing so heavily and the snow was falling in such blinding sheets that it was positively dangerous to attempt to cross Michigan avenue at its intersection with either Jackson boulevard or Van Buren street. These crossings are used by thousands of people every night. It was found necessary to station a large number of policemen at these corners to assist women and often it was more than an officer could do to pilot a woman across without assistance. The street car companies and the elevated roads fared well throughout the day, but the heavy increase of snow that came in the late afternoon made desperate work for them. Every available man and all the snow plows were constantly at work in keeping the tracks clear. In the distant suburbs the trolley lines were operated with great difficulty because of the constantly increasing drifts and locomotion became constantly more difficult. The Illinois Central railway experienced great difficulty during the evening moving its great suburban trains. In some instances the trains remained stalled for hours, while the tracks were shoveled clear. In consequence, crowds of homeward bound patrons were greatly delayed. The Illinois Central, Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads reported incoming trains 3 to 7 hours late. The storm center during the evening was over Springfield, Ill., and was moving northward. The snowfall was general in eastern Iowa and Nebraska, northern Missouri, central and northern Illinois and Indiana, and in Wisconsin and Michigan, Omaha, Neb., reporting the heaviest fall in twenty years, about fourteen inches, entailing much delay and suffering to live stock en route to eastern markets. Several trains are said to be more than fifteen hours overdue. A special from Hazletor, Ind., says: Hundreds of flood-stricken families camped on the high places in the Wabash, White and Pakota river bottoms, spent a day of hardship and suffering. During the day, a biting wind, accompanied by hall and rain, made it impossible for them to use boats. Late in the afternoon the temperature moderated and the melting snow added to the torrents. The rivers rose four feet, covering hundreds of acres seldom known to go under water. The whole population of East Mount Carmel were forced to leave their homes. PEONAGE IN THE SOUTH. Subject of Inquiry by the House Committee on Rules. Peonage prosecutions in the south were the subject of an inquiry Tuesday by the house committee on rules, of which Speaker Cannon is the chairman. The committee met to determine what course should be pursued with reference to a resolution by Representative Humphreys of Mississippi calling on the attorney general for a full report on peonage cases, and the parts played in them by Mrs. Quackenbos and Special United States Prosecutor Russell. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1908. TAFT WAS ENDORSED And Policies of President Roosevelt Approved by Alabama Republican Committee—Faction Expelled. The Alabama state republican executive committee, J. O. Thompson, chairman, met in Birmingham Tuesday, with thirty out of thirty-two members present. Chairman Thompson made a speech in which he advocated harmony and a united party. A credential committee was named and all credentials passed on. A motion was presented after a number of speeches were made during the absence of the committee, that all members who had affiliated with the Davidson faction in a recent meeting be expelled from the committee headed by Chairman Thompson. Much discussion followed. W. F. Aldrich, former congressman, who has a blue eye, the result of a blow given previously in the hotel lobby by Chairman Thompson, questioned the right of the committee to expel any members, and announced that he was of the opinion that the Davidson committee was the rightful committee in the state. The motion to expel Davidson followers prevailed, a caucus decision being carried out. W. R. Fairley, state member of the miners' national committee, made an address in which he said that John Mitchell stated to him that he (Mitchell) would rather vote for Secretary Taft for president than any man the republicans could name. There was great cheering. The committee decided on a convention to be held in Birmingham May 6, and named the basis of representation. The convention will select the delegates to the national convention. The meeting of the committee was stormy throughout, the Thompson followers being in active control, caucus resolutions adopted Tuesday night being carried through right along. Thompson is a strong Taft man. Resolutions were introduced by Judge Montgomery endorsing the administration of President Roosevelt and the candidacy of Secretary Taft for president. The resolutions were adopted by a vote of thirty to two. STOESSEL SHOULDERS BLAME. Is Willing to Die if Surrender of Port Arthur Was a Crime. The trial in St. Petersburg of Lieutenant General Stoessel reached the last act Tuesday, the prosecution walving the privilege of putting in rebuttal to the defense. The last word was given to the accused general, who uttered only a few sentences in a firm voice, and shouldered the entire responsibility for the surrender of Port Arthur. "If the court decides that the surrender was a crime," he concluded, "I ask for the death sentence." MEASURE LACKED TWO VOTES. Mississippi House Votes Adverse to State Prohibition. The surprise of the session of the Mississippi legislature occurred Tuesday morning when an amendment seeking to establish constitutional prohibition was defeated in the house, lacking two votes of the required majority of two-thirds. A singular feature of the defeat was that all members from open saloon counties favored the amendment and many who had voted for statutory prohibition were against it. SOLD!ERS FOR HOPKINVILLE A Strong Demand for Militia in Western Kentucky. The remaining members of company A, second Kentucky infantry, have been ordered out. Sergeant Ashby Dubosk left Middlesboro Tuesday night for Hopkinsville and Cadiz, Ky., in command of thirty men. Orders have also been given by Governor Wilson to get all the recruits possible, as there is a big demand for militia in western Kentucky. SEVEN KILLED; DOZEN HURT In Crash Between Passenger Engine and Electric Car. Seven persons were killed and a dozen injured when a Big Four passenger train struck a Toledo and Western electric car at the Michigan Central crossing in West Toledo, Ohio, at 8 o'clock Saturday night. According to an eye-witness of the wreck, the conductor stopped at the crossing to flag the car across. Seeing the train coming, he motioned to the motorman to stop, but the signal was either mlsunderstood, not seen WHELMED BY MUD Twenty-Eight Miners Shut Up in Pit By Flood. BIG DAM BROKE LOOSE Great Flood of Water and Slush Poured in Without Warning Upon Luckless Workers, But Rescuers Are Hopeful of Saving Them. Twenty-eight miners were imprisoned in the Mid-Valley colliery, near Mount Carmel, Pa., Monday morning by the breaking of a dam of water, which had formed in a drift, which caused a rush of mud into a gangway, where the men were at work. Among the men entombed are a number of experienced miners, and it is believed that it will be possible to effect the rescue of the men unless some of them should have met death by being smothered in the rush of mud when the dam broke. Seven of the number are Americans. The men had been employed in No. 4 drift of the east side gangway, driving a heading to the surface. The heavy rains and thaw of the last few days had caused a great dam of water to accumulate in No. 10 breast of No. 4 drift, and the pressure became so heavy that it finally broke through, and a great sea of mud flowed into the gangway where the men were at work. It filled it for a distance of about $50 feet. Three different rescuing parties were put to work at once. The noise of men working with picks inside gave the rescuers great encouragement, and it is believed that the majority of the men entombed are alive, although it is scarcely possible that all of them were fortunate enough to have escaped the great rush of mud when the dam broke. Great crowds of people gathered around the mouth of the slope. They included the families of the entombed men. During the day women and children were gathered about the mine, having rushed there from their homes at the first alarm of the disaster. They could not be prevailed upon to go home, but insisted upon remaining about the mouth of the slope. After rapping was heard from the entombed men these fear-stricken ones were greatly reassured, and many of them returned to their homes, while others built big bonfires with the intention of camping out during the night. The miners about the colliery were formed into a temporary police force, but later in the afternoon a squad of state constabulary appeared on the scene and performed excellent service keeping the crowd back. ROEBLING LEAVES ASHEVILLE. Multi-Millionaire Wouldn't Stand for a Dry Town. Having declared his intention some time ago of leaving Asheville, N. C., because the town went dry in the recent prohibition election, John A. Roebling, multi-millionaire manufacturer of Trenton, N. J., has left that city with his family for Trenton, the late home of his father, Colonel Washington Roebling of Brooklyn Bridge fame. Before he left Roebling distributed thousands of dollars among his employees, servants that were left behind, office boys and others whom he desired to remember. Roebling has given thousands of dollars to charity purposes. Aside from being the most public-spirited citizen of Asheville, he was the largest taxpayer, not exceiling George W. Vanderbilt. He gave his magnificent estate, "Beauchchjenes," which adjoins George W. Vanderbilt's famous Biltmore estate, to the Episcopal missionary board of the United States, saying he did not propose to stay in Asheville any longer, as the town had voted dry, and he was acting from a matter of principle altogether in leaving. TO WOULD-BE BACHELORS Aged Mexican War Veteran Gives Advice, on Tombstone. Hugh Dewift, a Mexican war veteran, at the Indiana state soldiers' home, who died Wednesday night, aged 93 years, was buried Thursday beneath a tombstone on which he himself had carved this epitaph: "A bachelor lies beneath this sod, Who disobeyed the laws of God. Advice to others here I give— Don't live a batch, as I did live." WINDS DEAL DEATH Tornadoes Hit Sections of Texas and Mississippi. MANY PEOPLE LOSE LIFE Greatest Damage Wrought in Vicinity of Tyler, Texas-Three Small Towns in Mississippi Are Obliterated. Severe wind and rain storms visited the south and southwest Friday, causing loss of life and much damage to property. Tyler, Texas, was swept by the most disastrous tornado in its history Friday morning about four o'clock. Coming up from the southwest the storm swept over the main residence section of the city, leaving a trail of death and devastation. The known dead in Tyler number four—C. A. Francis, agent of the Dallas News; his wife and child, about one year old, and a negro named Mose Lee, 80 years of age. Francis's dead body was found 100 yards from his wrecked home and the body of his child was found in the street. Mrs. Francis was in the wreckage of the building. Six seriously injured are reported. Twelve buildings were wrecked and in the confusion it has been difficult to compile an accurate list of the casualties. Wires are down in all directions from Tyler, and personal reports from farmers are to the effect that farm houses all around Tyler were blown down. It is known that the tornado swept everything clean for a distance of five miles. Three small Mississippi towns were practically demolished. Reports of the number killed ranged from six to ten, with the smaller number probably correct. Mossville, Service and Bose are the towns destroyed. They are all in Jones county and are, are very small, being merely a handful of scattered dwellings. The tornado struck them about noon and in most instances is reported to have carried the buildings in its path, completely off the lots on which they stood. Nearby fields were covered with wreckage and the branches of several trees were littered with small household articles. The tornado was accompanied by a torrent of rain, which caused a sudden rise in the creeks and washed away several bridges. Roads have become impassable in the cyclone district and telegraph and telephone wires were put out of business. SEVENTY-TWO MEN INDICTED. Representatives of Labor at New Orleans Under Charges. Seventy-two men, representatives of all the classes of labor employed on the New Orleans river front, and who compose a union known as the Dock and Cotton Council, were indicted by the United States grand jury in that city Friday on the charge of conspiring to restrain trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The indictments follow the refusal of the dock and cotton council to permit the coal wheels' union to coal the steamer Habil, which cleared several days ago for Puerto Cortez. The agent of the Habil signed an agreement with the union, had his vessel coaled and then placed the matter in the hands of the United States district attorney. PROHIBITION MEASURE BLOCKED West Virginia Senate Turns Down the Action of the House. The proposed constitutional amendment to prevent the manufacture and sale of liquor in West Virginia, except for scientific and medicinal purposes, which passed the house recently, was defeated in the state senate Friday by a large majority. MORGAN SEEKS GOTHAM BONDS. Financier Bids for $50,000,000 of New York City Securities. A syndicate composed of J. P. Morgan & Co., the First National Bank, the National City Bank and Harvey Fisk & Sons put in a bid for the entire $50,000,000 issue of New York city 4 1-2 per cent bonds, bids for which were opened Friday. The syndicate offered 103.377 for $47,000,000 and 100.377 for the remaining $3,000,000. There were 1,103 bids in all, many of them for comparatively small amounts. IN ALDRICH BILL Hidden Danger is Alleged to Lurk and Defects Are Pointed Out in the Senate. A Washington special says: Senator Tillman Thursday presented a petition to the senate from Alfred O. Crozier, a manufacturer of Wilmington, Del., protesting against the passage of the Aldrich currency bill. It was read and will be printed in the Congressional Record. The petition strongly objects to that feature of the bill which removes the restrictions of the existing law against the retirement of the present bank notes and the contemplated emergency currency. "Such a law," says Mr. Crozier, "would start agitation that might take from national banks the right under which they now profitably issue and loan to the people nearly $700,000,000 of bank note currency and perhaps jeopardize the gold standard itself. "Bank note currency is not a legal tender. Its acceptance as money cannot be compelled. Few know this. Prominent lawyers, business men and even members of congress disputed this fact until shown the law. The people generally are deceleved by the government's endorsement into believing it to be real money. It looks like money, but it is not. Any one can refuse to accept it. Then actual money, gold or treasury notes, must be found and tendered. This demand at the last moment may work great loss and wrong. Do we want $500,000,000 more currency that is not lawful money?" The panic, Mr. Crozler says, appeared, "providentially just before this session of congress when it was planned to seek currency legislation." Referring to the demand for an emergency currency he says: "They did not explain why the country has got on so well for a dozen years without panic or change in the currency laws. Many believe the panic was caused by such promoters to pinch the country to hurry congress to hastily pass the currency legislation they desire, to punish the administration for enforcing the laws without fear or favor, to advance interest rates and to reduce wages of labor and prices of securities and property for their lawless purposes and profit. "The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company precipitated the runs on banks and caused the panic. Sudden refusal by one Wall street bank, further to clear for that trust company and wild exploitation of that fact in the newspapers wrecked the trust company. The powerful master of Wall street, who is said to dominate the bank, sat in the gallery of the United States senate and nodded approval as the distinguished author of the Aldrich bill spoke in advocacy of the measure. "The biggest 'joker' in the Alarich bill," says Mr. Crozler, "is the fact that the restriction on contraction of bank note issues is wiped out entirely. It makes it possible suddenly to contract and destroy in one day the entire $7,000,000,000 bank note currency and also the $500,000,000 emergency currency, or a total of $1,200,000,000 of currency used by the people as money. Sudden contraction of but $50,000,000 available money by bank depositors recently caused a fearful panic and alarmed the whole country. What would happen to the country when the strangling contraction of more than $1,000,000,000, about half the available money supply of the United States, the most active and convenient half, was begun? NEW FOUNDRY COMPANY Organized at Norfolk and Will Operate In Anniston, Alabama. The Woodstock Iron Works of Norfolk, incorporated by the Virginia state corporation commission for the conduct of a general foundry business, was organized at Norfolk Thursday with a capital of $500,000. The company will operate in Anniston, Ala., as auxiliary to the present Woodstock Foundry and Iron Works. THIRTY-TWO PAST CENTURY. Mrs. Kilcrease Believed to Be Oldest White Person on Earth: At the great age of 132, Mrs. Kilcrease, living at Pine Mill, near Fort Worth, Texas, celebrated her birthday a few days ago. It is believed she is the oldest white person in the world. She was born February 10, 1776, in Hallifax-county, North Carolina, and lived there 100 years before she removed with her family to Texas. Her daughter, aged 98, and granddaughter, aged 63, live with her. TEN MEN COWHIDED By Bold Band of Night Riders in Kentucky Town. FOUR WHITES SIX BLACKS Mob, Three Hundred Strong, Raids the Town of Eddyville and Creates Night riders, three hundred strong, visited Eddyville, Ky., at I o'clock Sunday morning and whipped ten men, four of them white and six negroes. The white men, who are suffering from sore backs as the result of a severe chastisement with the switches, are: Pollee Judge C. W. Rucker, Leslie Woods, former city marshal; Press Fralick, who occasionally acted as deputy city marshal, and Grace Robertson, a saloon porter. The connection between the whipping of the white men and the negroes and the tobacco war in western Kentucky is not apparent and no one has been able to offer any explanation. None of the victims was known either active or influential in opposition to the farmers' pooling movement. No attempt was made at destroying stored tobacco. The riders were will drilled and well armed. About 50 entered the town from the direction of Trigg county, and the remainder from the opposite direction. Over a thousand shots were fired during the course of their stay, but the only casualty reported is that of a young woman, whose face is said to have been grazed by a stray bullet. The home of Judge Rucker was badly damaged before the riders were able to get hold of him, the walls being riddled with bullets, doors and shutters torn off, etc. After taking each of the men to the edge of town and whipping them, they were allowed to return home. After the whippings had been administered, the mob awakened County Judge W. L. Crumbaugh and warned him that his immunity from similar punishment hereafter depended entirely on the friendship he was expected to show the tobacco growers' organization. He was told that his gray hairs, alone were responsible for his being spared this time. The only tobacco man visited was J. Mr. Bradshaw was ordered to close up for one of the growers' associations. Mr. Bradsha was ordered to close up a billiard hall, which he owns. Before leaving the town the riders announced that they had not finished their work and that they would return before many days. DETECTIVES NAB MORSE Indicted Promoter Held Prisoner Before Landing in New York. Charles W. Morse, financier and promoter of many large combinations, including the so-call ice trust, and a merger of nearly all of the coastwise steamship lines, returned to New York Saturday from his trip to Europe. He was arrested in his state room when the steamer, Etruria, reached quarantine in the lower-bay, held in custody until the ship was docked and then was whirled away in an automobile to the home of Justice Victor Dowling of the supreme court, where he gave bond in the sum of $20,000 to answer to two indictments charging grand larceny and involving the sum of $100,000. Mr. Morse was released and went immediately to his Fifth Avenue home, where he later gave out a statement asserting his innocence, and asking the public to suspend judgment until he has the opportunity of facing his accusers in court. FORESTRY BILL SHELVED So Far as Action at Present Session of Congress is Concerned. All hope for the passage of the bill creating forests reserves in the Appalachian and White mountains, is dead. A delegation of southerners and New Englanders visited Speaker Cannon on Saturday, and were informed that the bill cannot be passed. The speaker has been opposed to the measure ever since it was introduced. He is particularly opposed to it now because the republican administration faces a deficit in the treasury and the program of the house leaders is not to spend a cent that is not absolutely necessary.

These medals were as follows: Gold medal, state of Georgia, for the best collective exhibit of fruits; gold medal, state of Georgia, for the best continuous display of garden vegetables, and a silver medal for the best chrysanthemums. Uncle Sam Testing Soft Drinks. Manufacturers of alleged non-alcoholic drinks who are allowing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol to get into their products will soon hear about it if they are not paying the government a special tax. Revenue Agent Surber is now having tests made of various drinks on the market to ascertain whether or not the manufacturers are keeping within the United States regulation. Tests of this character are made at all times of the year, but now that prohibition has brought forth several new varieties of non-alcoholic drinks, the government officials especially are active. The state department of agriculture has issued an order as the result of an examination by the state chemist of 65 samples of sausages collected in various parts of the state. Eleven of the samples sold as pure pork sausage were found to be mixed sausage, which is a distinct violation of the pure food law, and offending parties are notified that they will in future be prosecuted. A number of other samples were found to contain various chemical preservatives which are prohibited by the pure food law. Bank Stockholders Enjoined. Judge Ellis of the superior court, Atlanta, signed an injunction restraining all the stockholders of the Neal bank from disposing of or encumbering in any way any real estate held by them. He also ordered the Central Bank and Trust Corporation as receiver on applying to the court for leave to sell any of the property owned by C. T. Ladson & Co. in Cuba, or that of the Alabama Sulphur Ore and Copper company—both of which owed the Neal bank large sums—to notify counsel of the intervenors and of the defendant. The District School Dedicated. The seventh district agricultural college was dedicated last Friday. The ceremonies were held at the college grounds, two miles from Powder Springs, beginning at noon. A large crowd was in attendance. Dinner was spread at the grounds, where the exercises were held. Several speeches were delivered, the principal one --- Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources. The annual convention of the County School Commissioners' Association of Georgia will be held in Brunswick March 31 and April 1 and 2. This was decided on at a meeting a few days ago of the executive committee held in the office of State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound at the capitol. * * * $104,963 for School Teachers. State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound received a few days ago a warrant signed by Governor Smith for $104,963, which he will send out to county school commissioners and superintendents of local schools, who have sent in their requisitions. The remittances will go to all parts of the state. * * * Slayer of Policeman Resentenced. Andrew Johnson, the negro slayer of Policeman James Manler, at Atlanta, was on Saturday morning sentenced to hang on Friday, March 13, in the Fulton county tower, Judge Roan pronounced sentence upon the negro, following the decision in the supreme court, refusing a new trial. Johnson was sentenced to hang on January 3, but his attorneys carried the case to the supreme court, which handed down a decision refusing a second trial. * * Illinois officials have given the Macon police authorities a special description of a smooth land shark and robber who is said to be working farmers in the rural districts out of large sums of money on loan schemes. A reward of $700 is offered for his capture. He has numbers of names, but that of John L. Butler appears most frequently. Efforts are being made to locate him in the south. The man is said to have made hundreds of bogus purchases, forged land deeds and then secured large loans upon the plea of needing the funds to make certain improvements. Awards for Fruits and Flowers. State Geologist W. S. Yeates, who had charge of the state exhibit of fruits, vegetables and flowers at the Jamestown exposition, has just received a letter from James L. Farmer, secretary of the jury of awards, notifying him of the awards of certain medals Treasurer of the State of Georgia. * * * P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. being by State School Commissioner Pound. Only the main building at the college is completed. The school opened February 3, and a large number of pupils are attending. Reese Elected Episcopal Bishop. Rev. Frederick F. Reese, pastor of Christ Church, Nashville, Tenn., was elected bishop of the diocese of Georgia. at the Episcopal convention in Augusta. Three ballots were taken. The strongest contest was made by the delegates supporting Dr. C. H. Strong of Savannah. On the last ballot, however, the election was made unanimous for Dr. Reese. The vacancy in the bishopric of the diocese was caused by the state of Georgia being divided at the general convention of the church, held in Richmond, and the election of Bishop C. K. Nelson to serve the new diocese. * * * J. R. Carmichael, president of the First National Bank, of Jackson, committed suicide by drowning in McCord's mill pond, about two miles from town. The jury of inquest rendered a verdict that he came to his death by drowning while under a spell of temporary insanity. He left letters of instructions about his business affairs and a letter to the directors of the First National Bank, of which he was president. In the letter to the directors he said that the bank was in good condition, with perhaps some $500 worth of notes which might not be collected, but otherwise everything was in fine condition. He left a letter to his family, the contents of which will not be given to the public. Roads Cannot Take Off Trains. The railroad commission has decided refuse its consent to the discontinuance of any of the local passenger trains on the Georgia railroad, which the road requested permission to take off. The commission some time ago announced its refusal to permit the discontinuance of the Conyers accommodation, and the local passenger on the Barnett and Washington branch. It has now decided not to permit the discontinuance of the accommodation out of Augusta, or of the local train between Camak and Macon. The commission was at first inclined to allow the road to take off these two trains, but so strenuous were the protests against such action, that a different course has been determined on.

Get sleeping car reservations and full information from any SEABOARD Agent, or write to First Week of Educational Train. After a week of strenuous activity, the Educational Special of the Georgia State College of Agriculture stopped in Brunswick Saturday evening for a brief day's rest. On Monday morning it once more rolled forth on its tour of the state. During the week the Educational Special visited thirty Georgia towns, and conservative estimate says that not less than ten thousand farmers, and probably many more heard the addresses of Dr. Soule and his assistants and viewed the exhibits prepared by the state college. One of the lecturers on board is a practical oil mill man, who tells the planters how best to market their seed to get the best price and how to help themselves by feeding cotton seed meal and hulls to their stock and how to use the fertilizer thus generated. PURSUING GERMAN STEAMER: United States Revenue Cutter is After the Delta. The United States; revenue cutter Winona, Captain Hanks, left Mobile Thursday morning under full steam in pursuit of the German steamer Delta, that left Pensacola harbor two days ago, after having been seized by the United States marshal there. Little hope, is entertained of overtaking the fugitive steamer, but the Winona will continue the chase until called off. WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr cas. MUTUAL RESERVE IN COURT.

As far as 1 have been able to make it out, however. this Is not the case. My interpreter, who traveled with me over many lands and seas, assured me that as far as he knew the same language was spoken all over the planet. It 4s therefore quite correct to speak of Mars as a country rather than a world. I remember causing a great deal of laughter when I tried to explain “through my interpreter to a body of learned men that our world was split up into several countries, all fighting More or less against each other. It 4s by making these little explanations trom time to time that I have picked up the onty Martian word I know. It is something like a cough and a low whistle combined, and my interpreter tells me it {s the word that Martians usa to express the opinion that some- dody is a very reckless Har indeed. Ig Mars the provinces that produce corn pool their harvests for the gen- eral profit, and all the other produc- ers do the same. Tiere is no buying and sqling at all, and when you come to think of it, there fs a certain common sense principle underlying the practice, because if you buy a Pushel of corn for twelve shillings ‘and sell it for thirteen and six, you haven't really increased the value it- self by a half penny. The odd elght- eenpence is only a supposed increase ‘that has got to come out of the pock- ets of somebody or another. Iwas thrown out of a mecting for trying to make a gathering of Mar- tlans believe that a man could handle corn in that way in this country and pocket the elghteenpence for himself. One Martian got up and safd that if that was our Idea of right and justice it was clear that if one man, or a syndicate, were fich enough to. buy up half.my country of England, they could turn all the inkabitents out ‘and overcrowd the other half. I told him that that was nonsense, and he replied rather testily that he had rec- ognized it as such all the while I was talking it. A moment later the pe- culiar combination’ of whistle and cough buzzed In my ear from a hun- dred lips, and I was pushed off the doorstep. One evening about that time I lost amy interpreter, who acted also as my guide, and I had to roam through a Targe city by myself looking for him. ‘As I went along I noticed a Martian gentleman on the opposite side of the street, evidently suffering from the effects of strong drink. I have seen people like that in my own country, ut in Mars the effect o* drink is rather different. This genueman, for instance, had got an elongated arm stretched right across the strest, in order to enable him to preserve his valgnee, and as I wanted to get by I took the liberty of pushing it on one side, That is where the trouble be- gan, + Lam not so foolish, of course, as to suppose that I can take on a whole world single handed, but in the hurry of the moment I didn’t think about the consequences. The first effect of moving the inebriate’s arm was to destroy his balance, and he came down a frightful cropper. ‘The-next minute his eyes were running up and down, all over me, evidently with -the view of taking stock of my Sight- ing form, and as the survey appar- ently satisfied the gentleman com- pletely he shot a leg across the road and kicked me unceremonionsly through somebody’s drawing room window. Of course I scrambled out again as quickly as possible and hur- ried toward him with a view “of sup- plying him with the local equivalent for a very thick ear. Long before’ | could get up to him, however, his hands had begun to slap me from a distance of a dozen yards or so, and it was quite the most exciting fight 1 remembered having had since a po- liceman in Tooting once pushed me agaist the fence in the course of a heated argument. I think the police- man’s widow was subsequently pen- stoned off, though I am not quite sure. To begin with, I caught a grip on one of the Martian's hands, and while the other hand was smacking me about regardless, I was punching as much of him as I could get at with a fearful energy. Evidently ho had had enough of it after a while, be. cause he drew the band back and sent out a foot instead. It seemed to me that if I could only hold out Ions enough I would be able to do him right up on the instalment plan, but SOOKE EREASUICSS, + WSS PUBCHINE aS muuch of him as I could get at with a fearful energy. Evidently he had had enough of it after a while, be- cause he drew the hand back and sent out a foot instead. It seemed to me that if I could only hold out long enough I would be able to do him right up on the instalment plan, but just at that moment my interpreter came up and wanted to know what tho matter was. I explained to him that I was just settling a purely per- sonal dispute, and that in three or four hours at the outside I hoped to be able to/reduce my assailant to a state of penitent pulp. My interpre- ter said that I was really giviny my- sqlf a lot of trouble for nothing, and as he spoke he shot one-arm along in one direction and anafher in the op- posite direction, while his thumbs whistled-out an appeal for help. The result was very peculiar, In about half a second the street was full of eyes surveying the Situation. ‘Then the eyes shot back with a series of clicks, and several hands shot out from nowhere and gripped my ine- Driate‘friend from behindand dragged Rim away. I asked the interpreter whether the offendar would bo punished, and for # long time he could not understand me, Indeed, I practically had to ex- plain the details of the British -penal code before he could even grasp what I was driving at. As usual, he was yery much amused. He explained that {ft a Martian wished to get drunk he was quite at liberty to do so, but if, while in that condition, he an- noyed other people, he was simply overpowered and kept in a cool place till he wes sober. He said he con- luded from what I had told him that in my country, when a man caught a fever we locked him up and fined him, a3 a tendency to catch fe- yer Is just the same as a tendency to drink too much. I told him I was afrald he didn't know what he was talking about, and as he is an ex- tremely polite person he allowed, me to have" the last word and took me home to bed.—Pick-Me-Up. : OUR HANDS. pre ee Ae Pee ee Things We Do. ‘ . | Though the human hand seems to bea fairly uniform structure, it really shows a differentiation as wide as that of the features of the face. It is a well known fact that the character of an individual can in a measure be read in his features, and a similar connection with character can be found in the form of the hand. The hand, however, has a closer con- nection with actual occupation. ‘Wheres the influence of vocation In the tralts (apart from a natural disposition for a certain craft that may lead to its adoption) is due main- ly to a particular turn of mind con- nected with and produced by that vo- cation, the influence exerted on tho shape of te hand ts mainly of a physical nature. The continual repe- tition of the same kind of manual work résults in a permanent altera- tion of the skin and muscles of the hand, as well as a transformation of the bones (atrophy or thickening of certain parts), disslzcemezt of the Joints, etc., for in repeating a given manipulation over and over agala the palnt and the balls of the thumb and Jittle finger are called upon.con- tinually to perform the same action, leading to 2 permanent strata on and wear and tear of given parts of the hand. . The most obvious atterations due to occupation are observed in the case of heavy manual laborers, who have coarse and clumsy hands jvith short, thick and callous fingers, the balls of the thumb and little finger being es- peclally developed, and the skjn be- ing horny and covered with fissures. While these propertiés generally are especially striking in the right hand, it is sometimes even more interest- ing to study the left hand of indi- viduals, as for instance in the case af a smith, who by continually gising this hand to seize the heavy tongs, develops very marked knots and pro- jecting broadened finger tips. The thumb of his Jeft hand in fact igused continually in pressing on the tongs, and so becomes especially strong. ‘The right hand shows the marks of dts continual uso in handling ;the heavy hammer, while the fingers as- sume a shortened, clumsy shape. Similar facts, though to a less degree, are stated in the case of locksmiths, —Scientifie American. . Shot Three Mountain Lions.

Industry was greatly advanced when inventors learned how to utilize the fron ores which contain phospho- rus. Left in the fron or steel this phosphorus made a brittlemetal. The simple plan of using lime with the melted fron ore made many, of these ores available, as the lime made a chemical combination with the phos- phorus and thus removed it. This gave pure fron and made a combina- tion of lime ‘and phosphorie acid, which, in basic slag gives an_excel- lent fertilizer. Now we are told of a new process for’ preventing rust on ‘steel or iron. The plan is to treat the metal with a form of phosphorus which prevents or retards oxidizing. If this be true we shall take the phos- phorus out of the ore and then put a part of it back into the stecl. But let us not be too sure about this.

If the poultry house {fs in such a condition that rats may run around in it or under the floor if it has 2 wooden floor, the farmer might as well give up raising chickens {n that building. Rats are ds bad as any dis- ease the fowls can have because they are so cunning in their work and of- ten are impossible to exterminate. At the time the house is built, fut- ure trouble with rats can be avolded by putting one-inch-mesh wire net- ting under the,floor, or burying it in the earth if-that constitutes the floor ,of the house. Cement floors are very certain to keep out all kinds of var- mits, says the Agricultural Epitomist, and their use ig often advisable for that reason if no other. +e * Ifyou are bothered with rats in an old poultry houso that has a wooden floor, there Is scarcely any way out of the difficulty unless the construction of the floor ir changed.

At a meeting of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, mueh In- terest centred in the discussion of barn cellars. Most dairymen of New England have long been taught that, progressive farming demands a barn cellar for storage of manure; but of late years many of the milk inspec- tors and boards of health have de- clared in favor of storage at some distance from the barn. : The speaker of the occasion, C. B. Lane, of the United States Dairy Bureau, expressed the opinion that in time the barn cellar will have to go. He advised all dairymen who were rebuilding or remodeling their barns to make other arrangements. The barn cellar, he safd, gives off steam and odors which come through the floor and are great breeders of files, It would be better, he thought, to have # manure pit not less than thirty feet from the dairy barn, There was much difference of opinion among the dairymen present, niany of them contending that'a barn cellar properly constructed and cared for cannot injure the quality of the milk or affect the health of the cat- tle. Some good New England authori~ ties, including prominent instructors of the Massachusetts and 3atne ox- perlment stations, are defenders, of the carefully managed barn cellar. It will take sométhing more than “say so" to convince many dairymen that cellar storage {5 not still a good plan for the Northern States,—American Cultivator, 2 Canker Amone the Ifoes. There is some complaint of canker by hog growers, and as the Okla- homa Stalion“has~tested the follow- ing remedy for it and found it valu- able, we give it here from the sta- tion bulletin: “This is a parasitic disease and is contagious, spreading rapidly among pigs. Th¢ cause of the disease is a small patasite similar fn some re- spects to that of mange, but fs much more difficult to treat successfully. The disease first shows by a con- traction or wrinkling of the skin of the nose or face. This fs often ac- companied by slight swelling. Tho pig rubs its nase sniffles, and shows in various ways that the diseased spots irritate and burn, Gradually these diseased spots break out as small ores, occasionally sloughing out to form ulcers qf considerhble size. These sores or ulcers may oc- cur on any part of the head and ocea- sionally they will extend over the sides and under part of the body. Since the dlisease ‘Is-'contagious and spreads easily, all pigs showing any signs of-the trouble should bo separated from the healthy ones. The following preparation should be ap- plied to the diseased spots: A mix- ture of carbolle acid and lard in the proportion of one of acid to olght ot lard may be applied to the dis- eased spots before sloughing occurs. For open sores or sloughs use iodine one part and vaseline six parts, Ap- ply this ointment once erery two or’ three days. A tobacco solution, to- bacco one part and water twenty parts, may be made by steeping the tobacco for ten to twenty hours in warm water.

Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public as a regular pharmaceutical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval. BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We shall continue to offer Peruna convey to the people our claims for Peru continue to supply the people with free our medicine, teaching them how to avo of benefit to the home.

Notwithstanding that some imitators and substituents will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that criticism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find fault. But we are determined to give such people no just complaint. PERUNA IS A GREAT MEDICINE. It has become a household word in millions of homes. Our faith in the remedy is stronger than ever.

A housewife tells of a valuable washing fluid which saves clothing and at the same time saves much rubbing. "It is made of a ten-cent can of potash, dissolved in four and a half quarts of hot, but not boiling, water, and mixed thoroughly with one ounce each of powdered ammonia, borax and salts of tartar. When cold it was bottled for use and two-thirds of a cupful of the mixture was added to two-thirds of a boilerful of cold water with one-third of a bar of soap shaved up. The clothes went into this cold mixture while dry, and were brought to the boiling point and boiled from eight to ten minutes. Ordinary rinsing followed and whatever obstinate stains remained were rubbed on the board."—Indianapolis News. Home-Made Perfume. A pleasant perfume may be made at trifling expense by any woman who likes sweet scented waters. Use any essence preferred, oil of lavender or rose, for instance. About twenty-five drops will perfume five pints of water. Into each one of two half-gallon jars put a funnel lined with filter paper, with a bunch of cotton at the bottom. On top of this cotton put some finely powdered magnesia, over which has been poured the perfume essence. It should be divided and half the quantity put into each jar. Pour into each jar some rain water or ordinary boiled water. This will filter through the cotton, paper and magnesia and make a soft toilet water with a delightful fragrance.—Indianapolis News. The Need of Fresh Air. Back of ventilation in the home is the source of half the fills that beset the average American family. Deprived of the necessary amount of oxygen to supply the demands of the circulatory system, brain fag, weakened nerves and impoverished tissues make the human body susceptible to disease of body and soul. See that a current of fresh air enters an occupied room, and when it is, to be unoccupied for a time, see that occasion has been taken to change the air more completely by raising the windows, if only for a few moments. Raising the lower sash alone does not cause a quick change in the atmosphere. A window must at the same time be lowered from the top to allow the escape of the impure air which has become warm and lighter during its imprisonment and is forced to the top of the room and out by the inrush below of the colder, heavier air. —Home Herald. How to Boil Rice. Wash one cup of rice in cold water, rubbing the rice between the hands and changing the water several times. Put two quarts of water over the fire, with a teaspoonful of salt and when the water boils, add the washed rice and stir, to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the water again boils, discontinue the stirring. Cover and let boil rapidly about twenty minutes, or until the grains are well swelled out. Drain off the water (use in soup) and set the saucepan into the oven for ten minutes, that the rice may dry off, not brown. Then pour into a dish. The above is a Crclec recipe. Boiled in this way, the kernels will be light, dry and fluffy, but the grains will not be as soft as Northern cooks desire them. However, soft grains mat together and do not show as distinctly as Southern cookery demands.—Boston Cooking School Magazine. Good Things to Eat AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM. Corn Muffins—One egg, one tablespoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, one cup milk, one and one-half cups flour, two large spoonfuls of cornmeal, one teaspoonful soda (or one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder); this makes eight nice gems. Peanut Candy—Boll without stirring two cupfuls of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice and a half cupful of water until the syrup just begins to change color. Add one cupful of shelled peanuts, stir until blended and turn into a warm, buttered pan. Spread smoothly and mark into squares while warm. Coconut Candy—Cook half a cupful of milk, one cupful of shredded coconut and two cupfuls of sugar until the mixture forms a soft ball when tested in cold water; then take from the fire, stand in a pan of cold water, add vanilla to flavor and stir briskly until creamy. Pour into a pan lined with paraffine paper and mark in squares while still warm. Baked Squash—Take a medium sized squash, leaving handle on. Cut a round hole in squash around handle large enough to clean well. Then season with salt, pepper and large piece of butter. Put back the plug and bake in pie tin in a slow oven two and one-half hours. Fifteen minutes before serving remove from oven, take out plug, and with large spoon stir all 'up well and beat like mashed potato. Replace plug, lay on pretty platter. EXCHANGING THINGS. "I suppose the late shopping annoys you?" "We don't mind the late shopping so much," answered the merchant. "It's the late swapping that hurta." —Louisville Courier-Journal. New York and Pennsylvania have raised the pay of school teachers almost up to that of the day laborers, notes the Atlantic Journal. The Greatest Show on Earth. A question which travellers often ask each other in various parts of the world is: "What is really the greatest natural wonder on earth?" It is easy to answer now, since the stupendous falls of the Zambesi River have been discovered. David Livingston called the main fall, "the most wonderful sight I had visited in Africa." And when one imagines the spectacle of one of the world's mightiest rivers, two miles wide, falling sheer 420 feet, it is not hard to agree with one of the greatest travellers and missionaries that ever lived. Our own Niagara is only half a mile wide and 158 feet high, so that it figures as a mere cascade in comparison.—The Travel Magazine. A man may think he knows more than a doctor, protests the Atchison Globe, but he is apt to listen when a lawyer tells him that he needs a change of climate. Onlons. Onlons. Onlons.

BABY CRIED AND SCRATCHED All the Time—Was Covered with Torturing Eczema—Doctor Said Sorres Would Last for Years—Perfect Cure by Cuticurn. "My baby niece was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body, but the worst was on her face and bands. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid. But I used Cuticurn Soap and Cuticurn Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L. Cuticurn 4708 Easton Ave., St. Louis, Mo, May 2 and 20, 1907." Sometimes the doctor is called in to help those who help themselves.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the, fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances.

A favorite dodge by New York policemen on pay day to get their envelopes from the station before they report off duty is to find a dead cat somewhere along their beast. By order of the department they are required to report this find to the station immediately, but nothing hinders a friendly cop from passing the cat over the line into another policeman's territory. Then he, too, may report to the station the discovery of a dead cat. But at the West 27th street station house the other day the lieutenant behind the desk got wise when five of his men reported a dead cat within two hours.

"For t's is reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. "Convinced of this fact, I have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last I found the thing desired in Postum.

J.—In St. James' Church here Sunday the rector, the Rev. Dr. H. P. Lyman-Wheaton, preached on "Christ's Views on Marriage and Social Subjects." The text was from Mark 12:25: "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage." Among other things he said: There is one distinct doctrine which the manner of Christ's ministry has laid firmly down, that there is, in the descent of persons into sin, no depth so low that they may not be rescued from it, and that there scarcely ever is a case in which the image of God in a man is too much blotted and marred to be made bright again. Yet look how this, our Lord's way, of dealing with sinners was misunderstood. His compassion of them was spoken of as indicating a light estimate of the nature of sin. He mured at Him because he had gone to be guest of the man who was a sinister man, "This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them." We may indeed safely say that not one of these who sat at table with Him would leave it without feeling that they ought to lead a better life, and with a quiet resolve to do so. They who had a bitter spirit against Him which would not see anything but evil in all He did, called Him a gluttonous man and a wine-bibber; they yet said of John the Baptist, who "came neither eating nor drinking," that he had a devil. If these people had looked into their own hearts they would have found that it was neither the eating, drinking nor fasting that brought forth their hard words and names, but an accusing comedy of the man who was the Baptist's thrill cry, "Repent," was truly in season, yet his manner of life could not be taken as a pattern by those who had already formed social ties and habits. However much a man might be willing and wish to live in the retirement of the wilderness upon wild food, he would hear the voice of wife and children crying behind him in a form which would plainly tell him he must be religious and show his religion in another way. So here the example of our Lord's sociability stepped in to teach that His true religion was not against family relationships and duties, but that it might be an element in them giving them warmth and adding to their joy. He also gave the mission of this kind that at the beginning of His public ministry He was present at a marriage ceremony. He regarded human nature in all its departments and showed His spiritual truth was applicable to all and a goodly leaven in the affections both of the mind and heart. No religion could widely prevail which did not recognize the social nature and instincts of man. Why should they not be recognized, since God given them, and though His their inheritance, extravagance that we see chiefly traces of the great original fall of man, the office of religion is not to crush the life out of the root but to put new life into it. The greatest of all the sins proceeding out of social life had, by the Jewish law, placed upon it the penalty of death; yet it is evident our Lord thought there might be a better mode of dealing with it. To His perfectly pure mind the sin of adultery must protect the woman who was taken in it from stoning, placing at the same time a stigma upon her offense. "Go and sin no more." We may see from our Lord's words on the subject of divorce how sacred and lasting He held the ties of marriage to be. It was said, He thought, there should never have been need of such a proceeding as divorce, and it was the hardness of men's hearts that forced upon men the promulgation of laws of the providence of God, who, in the beginning, made them male and female, and joined them together, never to be put asunder. Even the existence of such a power as divorce takes away from the dignity of marriage, and so our Lord placed a mark upon her or him who availed herself or himself of it. "Whoo marrieth her that is put away committeth adultery. When marriage was it ought to be, and anointed it intended to be," Creator a union and perfect harmony of the highest affections of our nature, it was the most sacred of all institutions upon earth. In little children, the fruits of such high and honorable affections, there was the likeness" of the kingdom of God. "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." And that happy home of brotherly and sisterly "of love, which it soothed Him to look at, and which, afterward, when it appeared under a cloud, grieved Him to the quolk. All these expressions of our Lord's sympathy with the social feelings of human nature should be distinctly kept in view when we examine other words of His which seem on the surface to be in opposition to them. For example, such sayings as this: He that hath forsaken our children. My children shall receive an hundred-fold and shall inherit everlasting life." For the kingdom of Heaven's sake, He said, some have never formed these ties of wife and children, and they shall receive in the rich harvest of Heavenly peace and joy in their conscience an ample compensation. Truly we know our Lord would have said so to the domestic ties of wife and children. Show your love to Me by being a good husband and father. Blend your social and religious feelings together, so that the one will elevate the other. It was the exaggeration of social ties and duties beyond their proper limit. "Which Christ spoke so severely against the best ingreedness of our social affair, we go on in Christian life, pass gradually out of our mortal into our immortal nature, and as the spirit passes out of the body. it leaves behind it every feeling of human nature, but these of the highest and noiest order. Opening of New York City's River Subway Marks Epoch in Engineering Human Ingenuity Heavily Taxed to Safeguard Passengers From Accidents Due to Carelessness or Oversight of Employes. The new Brooklyn tunnel is a monument to modern engineering. It has overcome the greatest physical obstacles nature has ever laid in the way of rapid transit. It cost ten millions in money and many lives. The most important immediate question to be asked of the tunnel is: What relief will it give to the crush at the Brooklyn Bridge? The members of the Public Utilities Commission say this is problematical. The most conservative estimate is that it will relieve the crush to the extent of fifteen per cent. According to the best available figures, fifteen per cent. of the people who cross the bridge use the subway. Many of them probably will leave the subway at the bridge station in order to take trains to their destinations in Brooklyn. The tunnel will carry them only to the Borough Hall station. Of course many people downtown—below the bridge station—will take advantage of the tunnel trains, but the number cannot be estimated. 450,000 Cross the Bridge. At the present time 450,000 persons use the Brooklyn Bridge every week day. During the busiest hour 55,000 cross the structure. If the subway tunnel trains are used to their fullest capacity they could carry 25,000 in an hour. The officials, however, do not anticipate that they will be asked to carry capacity business until the subway is extended beyond the Borough Hall station. The Battery tunnel met with more delays than any of the others. It seemed to be hoodooed from the very beginning. Work on it was begun early in 1903, soon after ground was broken for the main subway. In the first place Mr. Belmont maintained that a loss of several millions would be sustained because the bid of the contractors was too low. Then, after a year's work, certain parts of the tubes had to be reconstructed. When the tubes were almost completed it was reported that the tubes had settled in two places where they had been laid in quicksand. Marks an Epoch in Engineering. For more than two years the Battery boring was a source of constant perplexity to the Rapid Transit Commissioners and to George S. Rice, their chief engineer. The work was laid out under the direction of William Barclay Parsons when he was chief engineer of the board, and he steadfastly maintained that there were no difficulties that could not be overcome. As late as last spring alarming rumors started an investigation. It was announced that it had been found necessary to remove sections of the tubes and to build concrete foundation's under them where quicksand had been found. Several distinguished engineers were called upon and they all declared that the concrete bottom made the tubes perfectly safe. Mr. Pegram then announced that trains would be running before snow fell. So many delays ensued that it became a matter of speculation as to whether the Battery tunnel or to Mr. Belmont's tube to Long Island City would be the first to carry trains. One Mile Under River. The distance from the Bowling Green station to the Borough Hall station in Brooklyn is one and six-tenth miles, and the length of the river tube is one and one-quarter miles. The tunnel trains will travel at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour, and under a two-minute headway. According to the subway officials, the trains could travel safely at a far greater speed. Trains have been run through at sixty mile speed. The opening of the tube marks an epoch in engineering and rapid transit. It means that nothing can stand in the way of modern scientific progress; that the brain and energy of man can overcome any physical obstacle nature may construct. These tubes forced their own way The "North Country Millionaire," who is aid to have spent £110 on a box of Christmas crackers, has not succeeded in snatching the record of—shall we say?—extravagance from that wealthy predecessor who two or three years ago paid £250 for a mere half dozen crackers, specially made for him by a firm of London silversmiths. These costly cosaques, which were enshrined in an exquisite silver box, had wrappers of rare old lace and figured satin, and each contained in a silver casket, which formed its centre, a valuable ring or brooch. But, so far as we know, the costliest cracker on record was one constructed of gold in such faithful imitation of a sheaf of wheat that its modelling kept an industrious goldsmith hard at work for 40 months. Tucked away in this golden sheaf was a ring set with rare and perfectly matched pearls; and the sum paid for this king of crackers, which measured only four inches in length, was £400.—Dundee Advertiser. New York ice dealers are beginning to look for weather that will bring them a crop. They will need 4,500,000 tons of ice to supply the city next year. through the rock and sand far beneath the river bottom and so carefully were the details calculated and worked but that they were not a fraction of an inch off when the separate sections from Manhattan and Brooklyn met ninety-five feet below the middle of the river. Some of the Safety Devices. George H. Pegram, chief engineer, declares that the tunnel is perfectly safe and durable. Most of it bores through solid rock. In the middle of the river there is a stretch of sand, but the tubes rest on a foundation of reinforced concrete that gives them a solidity almost equal to that of the rock foundation. Beginning at the Manhattan side, the tubes go-through rock for a distance of 2000 feet, then through sand for 700 feet, and then through rock again for 400 feet, entering a sandy foundation a second time. There are two tubes—one for eastern travel and one for western travel. They are entirely separate, being connected only at intervals by drainage canals. The net inside diameter of the tubes is fifteen and one-half feet. The outer covering of the tubes consists of eight sheets of steel plates. In reality the tunnel is formed of a succession of rings of steel. Inside the steel there is a concrete lining which varles in thickness. Pathway Along Sides. Along each side of the tubes are what the engineers describe as "duct benches," but which the lay mind would call islands or pathways for safety. These benches are about on the level of the floor. Taft could step from a train and pass along the side of the car. There is plenty of room for employees or passengers to get out in case of a blockade. And to guard against fire there is a reel of hose and a water connection every 300 feet, also a telephone connecting with the operator at Bowling Green. In addition to all these precautions there is an automatic fire alarm connecting with the city fire department that also shuts off all the power. Despite the fact that the tube has no opening for a mile, engineers declare that the ventilation is perfect. The trains are the ventilators—they act as pistons, force the foul air before them and draw the fresh air in behind them. Every train clears the tube of foul air and replenishes it with new air. Two Emergency Exits. There are two openings—one at the Battery and one in Joralemon street, Brooklyn. These exits supply air, and have stairways which can be used in emergency. At three points there are chambers connecting the two tubes for drainage purposes. They are sunk below the tubes and contain powerful pumps. There is bound to be some water in the tunnel and these pumps will be used to force it out. One of the most interesting details of the river tubes is the system of lights. The trains carry their own lights, of course, the power for which is derived from the third rail. Then there is a row of lights along the sides of the tubes. They get their power from a separate source and are automatically connected with still another source of power. The light system seems to be perfect. There is a map at the Bowling Green station, worked by a system of lights, that enables the operator who controls the running of the trains to tell exactly the location of every train in the tunnel. And in addition to this precaution a system of signals is arranged so that if the motorman should either misconstruce or fall to see a danger signal a "tripper" attached to the signal puts on the airbrakes of his train and stops it. Human ingenuity has been heavily taxed to safeguard the patrols of the tunnel. In America One Hour.

Hannah, of Madigburg, furnishes the following information concerning a new German composition to take the place of cedar in the manufacture of lead pencils:— "About two and one-half years ago a small company was formed to perfect and exploit an invention which, instead of making use of the expensive cedar wood, substitutes a compact mass, the main ingredient of which is potatoes. The invention has finally been perfected and the pencils are being manufactured in large quantities preparatory to being placed on the market. "I have seen and used some of these pencils, which, while slightly heavier, are the same in size, form and appearance as those at present in use, admit of sharpening a little more easily, and can be produced at a very nominal figure. A permanent company was founded in March at Berlin, acting under patents in fourteen countries, with a capital of $154,700, of which $95,200 represents the costs of patents, while $59,500 has been retained for a working capital. Of the working capital $19,040 will be used in erecting a factory, with six presses and a daily output of 48,000 pencils. The cost of manufacture, all expenses included—rent, light, power, wages, composition, lead, selling cost, etc.—is estimated at $0.00928. A second quality pencil will be made, whose cost will be only $0.00595. "At the estimated production of 48,000 pencils a day three hundred working days a year the yearly production would be 14,400,000 pencils. According to recent statistics, the export from Germany to foreign countries equalled 15,166 tons, with the total number of pencils at 3,033,200,000. "The cedar wood used at present in the manufacture of lead pencils is expensive and the quantity limited, white, on the other hand, the cultivation of potatoes is advancing each year. For these reasons this invention may mark the beginning of a new era in the production of lead pencils." NO KIDS WANTED. Sunday School Teacher—Now, children, who was Herod?

OCIS PHILIPPE, King of France, used to tell a charac- teristic story of Washington, of whom he occasionally saw something while an exile in this coun- ‘zy. One morning he met the great man, dressod in the most irreproach- able style of the English gentleman ef the period, with white stockings, walking about in the rain before breakfast. ‘You walk early, Gon- etal,” he said. “Yes,” replied ‘Wash- ington, “I walk early becauso I sleep well, and I sleep well because I never write anything which can get meinto the ‘slightest trouble. Remember that, young man!” The letters In a recent volume, entitled “George ‘Washington, the Farmer,” justify the anecdote. Perfectly frank as most of them are, there is nothing in them which His Excellency, the President of the United States, might, dislike to seein print. They reveal a man thor- oughly practical and sincere, saying Ro more than he means, and, above ail, as scrupulous for others as for Rimself. They are never emotional, yet they are often kind, and some- times, in a dignified fashion, sympa- thetic. «The first of the many epistles to ‘hip private secretary, Tobias Lear, 1s dated September 5, 1790, the period when the first Prosident was about to establish himself in his official res!- dence at Philadelphia. Lear, was at- tending to the, removal of the house- hold belongings from New York, and his employer sends him, in this’ and subsequent letters, careful directions respecting servants, packing and transport. References to the washer- ‘women of the family and to the not wholly satisfactory dinners provided fo New York by the Presidential ateward and housekeeper indicate the sharp eye which Washington kept on his household. He gives Lear to un- dorstand that two of the domestics, “Mrs. Lewis and her daughter,” are not to be conveyed to Philadelphia, Decause the ‘principal entertaining rooms of the new habitation are at the back looking upon the kitchen, and thelr “dirty figures” will “not be ‘@ pleasant sight.” He is suspicious about the expeditious disappearante of his Pipe of Pintard wine, and he desires that the new steward should realize that such luxuries are not for the serving man’s table. He is puz- zled by a matter which has occupied the minds of generatlons of house- holders: “It is inconceivable to me how other families on 25 hd. or 3000 dollars should be enabled to entertain more company at teast more frequent- ly than I could do for twenty-five thousand dollars annually.” A judl- i ( (3 “ey =\\\) NN S|) ae aca ROE REE O ER OUOCOE [eee ey ho mea oe Hie ig BA cme ae eaeeaees Hie re Bi a Sip Hoe hes ae Release Hig rete a, - Ca eee TT real F] | sebaeaa ne end k Tie cc td prrrreeee r ce ig L SMe Ta Hue ELLE Tic HI Roce ae bike bt hte Wm Nyheter aay oF H | Sa A ek ae | DRS OOOO ae There {s little to show that Mrs. ‘Washington has anything to do with the minute domestic instructions and queries with which the busy Toblas Is bombarded first from Philadolphia and afterward from Mount Vernon while the “new habitation” is still in preparation, but she may have been behind the throne with an armory of suggestions. ‘The question’of rent Yor the Phila- delphia house (which belongs to Rob- ert Morris) troubles Washington's mind. He Is afraid that the sum of rent and repairs may amount up un- duly, and laments that tt fs dimcult to extract anything definite ‘either from Morris or from the committee who selected this official residence. And here the Virginian’s pride comes to the front: “To occupy the premises at the expense of any. public body—I will not.” The question of a mangle likewise stirs that pride, geinforced by His.7Excellency’s scrupulosity? “Mrs. Morris has a mangle (I think they are called) for Ironing of Clothes; which, as it Is fixed in the place where it is commonly,used, sho proposed to Jeave and take mine.

Abuses have ‘crept into ‘every part of his farm business, he declares at the beginning of his eecond term, and he complains bitter- ly of “the insufferable conduct” of his varlous overseers. He has no !l- lusténs as to the agricultural eapact- tles of the American farmers of his period. Their “knowledge,” he says —practice at least—centres in the destruction of the land and very little beyohd it.” ‘When he returited to pri- vate! Ilfe and rural oceitpations he found a plentiful crop of vexations, from the Hessian fly in his wheat to. unsatisfactory workmen. In this country, he wiltes to Dr. Gordon, “where. entreaties as well as, money must be used to obtain thelr work, and keep them to their duty, they Date all caleulatfon in the accam- plishment of any plah, or repairs they ‘are engaged in—and require more at- ‘tention to and looking after than can sell be conceived.” In various let- ters he refers half wrathfully to that part of his domesticities which had to do with his slaves. He writes to ‘Lear in 1794 concerning some of the proposed salés‘of his lands: * T have no scruple to disclose to you that yoy motives fo those sales are to reduce my income, be it more or less, to specialties; that the remainder of my days may there- by be more tranquil and free from eares:— and that T may ‘be enabled (knowing pre- heey what my dependence ia) t9 90 aa ‘much good with it as the resource will ad- mit—for altho’ in the cctimation of the warld, I possess a good and clear estate, Jets unproductive ye it, that Tam often: jimes ashamed to refuse aids which I can+ not afford, unless I was to sell part of it to answer the purpose.

Can we not discern a Uttle fubflation in this sentence, less stately than most of those ad- dressed to his ‘secretary: “Unless some one pops in unexpectedly—Mrs. Washington & myse will do what I believe has not been done within the last twenty Yeqrs by us—that {s to ‘set down to dinner by ourselves.” ‘It would appear that his wife and his pretty stepdaughter, Nelly, had thelr own way., In another note concerning the forwarding of the household goods from Philadelphia to Mount Vernon there is a hint of feminine influence which the male reader will appreciate: “On one side I am called upon to remember the Parrot, on the other to remember the dog. For my owni part I should not pine much if both were forgot.” To pretty little Nelly and her {dling young brother, as well as to various nephews and nieces, Washington, as this volume shows, was a careful, wise gnd gener- ous guardim. He was anxious that ‘the schooling of these young people should be ‘of the best, and was con- stantly taking pains in the matter. SMe.

So read the quaint inscription let- tered. in old English characters on Pleces of parchment that reached some half a hundred people one morn- ing in February. The unusual word- ing of the cards caused not a Iittle surprise, A clue to the programwas given by the date, and, with’ a-com- mendable regard for the “eternal ft- ness,” diligent search was made in trunks, boxes and drawers for buckles, mittens an reticules that,had Jong reposed tn peaceful obscurity, whilesnimble fingers worked busily on the fichus, mob-caps and other ar- ticles that went to make up the cos- tume 6f an elghteonth century dame. When at last the anticipated day had arrived, the house in Clarges street had" undergone a - strange transformation. About. the <rooma there hung stiftwreaths of evergreens festooned with bunting and colonlal flags. To further heighten the ef- fect the clectric Ights “were dis- guised by a‘skifful arrangement of bunting, which softened without ob- structing the light. The hostess, in gown of demurest gray, with mob-cap, fichu, mittens and powdered halr, took her stand near the door, her husband, in velvet knee breeches, buckled shoes and other appurtenances of a Washington Vostume, close by. Very soon the room was filled, with a gay throng at- tired in every phase of colonial cos- tume, - Shortly after 9 a beH was rung, and the guests took thelr places" at small tables, each of which was de- voted to a different game, such as dominoes, draughts, beggar-my- ‘neighbor, bestque, etc. The usual rules for progressive games were fol- lowed, ‘Tho score was kept by means of small red, white and blue rosettes, ‘Tho holder of the greatest number of these at the end of the game was awarded a photograph of Washington In a handsome silver frame. , In the lull that followed the award- ing of the prize supper was an- nounced, and to the strains of the “Washington Post,” the host ted the way to the diniug room, which was decorated in keeping with the other rooms. ‘The centre of attraction was naturally the table. This was me- dium in“size, since no attempt at seating the guests had been made, and square in shape. From each of the four cormers were festoons of small flags fastened with ribbons to the chandeller overhead. In the cen- tre of the table was a minfature cherry treet some two feet in height heavily Iaden with artificial frult, which had been fastened on fnfvisibly. Smal coked hats of crape paper dec- orated with tiny cockades of red, white and blue, and filled with can- died cherries, were the favors, and were placed at Intervals down each side. The supper itself consisted of the following somewhat unusual anes ‘Cold Chicken ~ Oliver. ——, Hare hiten CE : Brown Breade 7 Grullers "Washington Pie.

In a few minutes the floor was taken by several couples, who, much to the delight of the others, toed the mazes of the stately minuet (rehearsed for the occasion), after which every one joined in a time honored Virginia reel.

My special work ‘will b3 to encourage farmers along as- ricultural lines and industrial pursuits, whichs the only medium open to our people as a whole. T hope to visit all the farming sec- tlons where our people are trying to do something and In whatever way 1 can to help in advisigg in this work, Also to sclicit stock in the Association, or to take shares and to organize county boards In order to cooperate with the Association in uniting as far as possible the farmers and business men and women Jn business nes.

It was sald by some of the best white people of Macon and the mayor of that city that the colored people Were most.orderly, as well as suecess- ful in operating the fair. We hope for our people still greater suecess in this movement. If we can get the co-operation of the better class of people in this, we ask the co-cper- ation of all. z I will be glad to meet anyone who would Ifke to confer with me in rela- tion to this matter.

MASONRY, UPLIFTING AND PURI- FYING. 7 It should be our pride that we are Integral parts of a fraternity that in every age of the world has attracted to its rank men: preeminent in all the relations in Ife, and that has always exerted an influenee in uplifting and ‘purifying human character, of which we can have no adequate Idea. And yet, what Masonry hag been In the past, and what It may accomplish ft the future, will matter little to us, in- dividually unless in the present we weave Its pure aud uoble principles and teachings into the woot and wart of.our daily Ives. It is not what Sa- sonry has done, but what we ourselves as Masons do, that will be of use to us, and unless We so conduct ourselves that those around us are made better, because of our having~ Tived among them, our belng Masons and members of the lodge will avail us nothing. Un- less we relieve the distress of some needy brother, take by the hand some struggling, weak and erring one in our ranks; rescue him from the slough of despond; ralse him up and support Kim, tll he can stand alone, and by whispering In his ear words of cheer and good counse}, tead him back into the right path, Unless we do thls, Masonry, with all {ts wonderful history and, prestige, will be of little, if any, use tg us—Thomas M. Matthews, THE MASTER'S DUTIES. - One who accepts the high and -hon- orable position of Master of a Masonic Lodge should firmly resolve to perform ‘well the important ditties of the office. In the first place, he should devote a reasonable amount of time to the outside duties of ® Master; that Is, to visit the sick, bury the dead, and ad- just differences between the brethren. He should master the ritual. The proper rendering of the degrees in Ma- sonry is an Important duty that should by no means be neglected. He should thoroughly famMiarlze himself with the constitution, laws and edicts of the Grand Lodge, and the by- laws of his own lodge, together with the ancient landmarks of Masonry. Ignorance of the law In the:Master of a lodge is almost inexcusable. ‘Unless a brother has the time at his disposal to tally quality himself for Its dutfes; he should by no means ‘accept ‘the office of Master.—Miystic Light. | ‘The man Who makes therbést use of ‘his time generally has 2 good. time. “WHO I8 MY NEIGHBOR? , It Ig a law-of nature that “No mam Ulveth to himself; no man dieth to him- selt;” that no human belng prospers or suffers without in some sense af- fecting all,rand that the greatest good of\all cannot be, attained so long us the rights and interests of some are ‘disregarded or dverlooked., : oe ‘The first great duty of a Mason is to God, and the second to his nelgh- bor, who 1s not merely the nearest per- ‘son to him, but all mankind. God so taught when he sald to Abram and. later, to Jacob, “In thee shall all the families be blessed.” And Paul pro- claimed unity of neighborliness when he sald of the Lord Jesus Christ, “Ot | Whout the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” . | Brether Mackey, held that a Mason's nelghborly- duty ts to qualify-himselt’ to do earnestly and vigorously. what- ever the good of his fellows, his coun- try and mankind requires, and then to act.

A Masonic paper expressed the opia- fon that some one made a mistake ‘when a charter was granted to a lodge whose total membership was twelve. If members were all that would be so, but, if Master-bullding Is first, twelve may honor the institution quite os much as a larger ‘number.
