A DESTRUCTIVE STORM
Sweeps Away Many Bridges. Railway Trains Delayed.
GROPS WERE.BADLY DAMAGED
Swollen Rivers in Georgia, and South Carolina Cause Great Property Loss. Twenty-Two People Dead.
Augusta, Ga.—The most serious flood in twenty years swept over Augusta and other cities in Georgia and the Carolinas, resulting in the reported death of twenty-two persons, a property loss of approximately over a million dollars, blocking traffic and cutting off all communication by wire and telephone.
Following the break of the big dam at the head of the Augusta canal, practically every street in that city was covered with water and many of the stores were abandoned.
The river at Augusta reached a height of thirty-eight feet and the water was two and one-half to four feet deep in Broad street.
The offices of the Georgia road closed on account of the flood conditions.
The canal dams broke and added to the seriousness of the situation.
The losses to the railroads on account of damage to tracks and destruction of trestles and bridges are enormous.
The water completely flooded Broad street, the principal street, and the plant of the Augusta Herald was put out of business.
On the Ocmulgee river are Hawkinsville and Abbeville and on the Oconee river is Dublin. All three of these places were flooded.
Throughout almost its entire length the Savannah river was at flood stage. On the Georgia side much crop land was foundations, with the exception of Augusta, there is no Georgia town of importance on the Savannah river. Across the line in South Carolina, however, the river is dotted with thriving towns. They suffered great damage.
No trains were run up or out of Augusta for over twenty-four hours and for almost half a day this city was not in telegraph communication with the outside world. While the waters were rushing like a great stream through the streets of Augusta, fire broke out in the Nixon cotton and grocery warehouses, and for a time threatened surrounding property. The fire department was absolutely helpless, and citizens gazed at the blaze doing its work, and hoped for the best. The buildings were destroyed, but fortunately the horrors of a general conflagration were spared the panic-stricken inhabitants, and the fire was confined to the warehouse. It is said the blaze was started by the water reaching some lime in one of the warehouses, causing an expl-on.
It was a brilliant scene while the fire lasted, causing people in the neighborhood of the blaze of the fire to almost forget the great flood for a while.
The Savannah river valley farmers worked like demons hauling crops and farm implements and driving cattle to the uplands out of reach of the water which flooded that district. Railroad schedules were deranged. Ten washouts were reported on the Charleston and Western Carolina and several on the Southern, between here and Columbia.
Camden, S. C. — The Wateree bridge at this place was washed away with the probable loss of nineteen lives.
The river, greatly swollen by the tremendous rains of the past forty-eight hours, caused the bridge to give way when a number of rafts and other craft jammed into the iron structure. The destroyed bridge cost $18,000.
Columbia, S. C.—Reports from Spartanburg and Anderson counties tell of, unprecedented rains in the Piedmont section of South Carolina, resulting in great damage to property, forcing power plants to close down, thus cutting off the source of power of a number of cotton mills, electric light plants and other enterprises. Spartanburg county was under water for forty-eight hours. It is estimated that $150,900 will not cover the damage to bridges in the county, a dozen or more having been washed away.
The great dam across Lawson's Park at Whitney Mill, three miles north of Spartanburg, was swept away by the flood. A train on the Charleston and Western Carolina railway ran into a washout and the engine was ditched.
Athens, Ga.-In a period of thirty-seven hours, a little more than twelve inches of rain fell in this city. The Oconee was above the highest mark in the recollection of the people here, and at places nearly a half mile wide. Three city bridges were washed away and the two remaining ones rendered unsafe for traffic. The northbound Southern from Athens barely escaped going into the river, at the trestle two miles out from Athens. Some boys seining heard the tressle crack and saw it rocking. They rushed to the bank and succeeded in flagging the approaching train just before it reached the tressle. The streets of the city are damaged, at least $10,000. Total damages here will not be less than $50,000 in all lines.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROA . STREET.
OF POLITICAL INTEREST.
The unanimous action of the Minnesota state convention in renominating Governor John A. Johnson for a third term was gratifying news to Mr. Bryan who at once forwarded a telegram of congratulations.
It has been announced at republican headquarters in Chicago that Speaker Joseph G. Cannon will make a speechmaking tour of the country beginning in September. He will talk, if possible, in every doubtful congressional district.
Governor Hughes is an aristocrat in his correspondence. When he writes a personal note from the executive chamber at Albany he uses the heaviest type of stationery of a cream white color, double page, and ten by seven inches, twice the size the average man has for his personal use. The seal of the state, embossed in gold, is stamped at the head of the paper with the words, "State of New York, Executive Chamber, Albany, N. Y." in blue below.
Thomas Watson, populist candidate for president, has announced that he will wage an active campaign to carry Mississippi and with that object in view will make numerous speeches in that state.
The fact that Senator-Foraker of Ohio was not asked to participate in the opening of the republican campaign in that state has caused much comment from the republican press. The reason given for thus slighting the senator is that in an address recently before the chamber of commerce of Uincinnati he made a severe attack upon the policies of President Roosevelt.
Thousands of democratic campaign buttons of the vintage of 1896 and 1900 have been sold to Brooklyn shopkeepers, and fully $3,000 was realized by those who engineered the transaction. Some of the buttons bore the pictures of Bryan and Sewall and others o f Bryan and Stevenson.
A trick mule mascot sent to Mr. Bryan by the Minnesota State Agricultural society became unruly while an eastern newspaper correspondent was riding him and the reporter was riding and seriously injured.
A large black snake, which has made its home under the porch of Mr. Bryan's home at Fairview and which has frightened many visitors, has been captured and given to the zoo at Lincoln, Nebraska.
Eugene Chafin, candidate of the prohibition party for president, has accepted an invitation to speak at Atlanta, Ga. The occasion of Mr. Chafin's visit will be celebrated by the holding of a great prohibition rally in that city.
John W. Kern was asked by a friend if he liked Roosevelt. Mr. Kern replied that he did and asked his friend how he liked Roosevelt. "Well," replied the friend, "I'd like him a lot better if you didn't like him so well."
Chairman Mack of the democratic national committee has authorized a denial of a report that the national committee had received a fund of $300,000 left over from the last democratic national campaign. Mr. Mack said that the report is without foundation.
If George T. Angell, president of the Massachusetts S. P. C. A., has his way, William H. Taft has taken his last horseback ride. "It is outrageous cruelty to animals," said Mr. Angell, "for a big 300-pound man like Taft to ride a horse about the country. If he must ride, let him use an automobile, or elephant."
National Chairman Charles R. Jones of the prohibition party has announced that it had been decided to make a vigorous fight for the South Dakota vote for Chafin and Watkins, presidential and vice presidential candidates of that party.
Announcement has been made by General Dupont, director of the speakers' bureau at the republican national headquarters, that Governor Hughes has offered his services as speaker during the campaign, and that the offer has been accepted.
Mr. Bryan will permit no one to ride his trick mule since the animal threw and seriously hurt a man who was riding him. The mule has been put to work, pulling a grass cutter over the lawn of Mr. Bryan's home.
Contributions to the campaign fund from corporations or from officers of corporations, acting as such, are not being accepted at republican national headquarters, according to a statement made by Treasurer George R. Sheldon, of the republican national committee. Mr. Sheldon said that he had returned several such contributions to those who made them.
Editors of every democratic and independent newspaper throughout the United States have been appealed to by the democratic national committee to start subscriptions for the democratic campaign fund in their newspapers.
Eugene V. Debs, the socialist party candidate for president, will make most of his campaign speeches from a train, which he has chartered to take him to the Pacific coast. A carload of socialist party literature will be taken along and distributed. The cost of sending out the special, it was said, would be $20,000, made up from contributions by socialists from ten cents to one dollar.
"The people have ruled through the republican party." This is William H. Taft's answer to Mr. Bryan's challenge: "Shall the people rule?" The answer was made. In an address the republican presidential candidate made before a gathering of several thousand Virginia republicans who came 'to Hot Springs to see and hear Taft and to celebrate Virginia day.
SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST, 29, 1908.
30 MINERS SUFFOCATED
Tragedy Occurred in Colliery in Oklahoma.
FIRE BROKE OUT IN MINE
Air Shaft Was Destroyed and Miners Killed—Twenty-Five Bodies Were Recovered.
McAlester, Okla.—More than thirty miners were suffocated in Halley-Ola coal mine No. 1, at Halleyville, fourteen miles east of McAlester, when fire destroyed the holisting, shaft and air shaft, and cut off air from the men below.
Twenty-five dead bodies were removed from the mine, following a three hours' successful battle with the flames. It is believed that six or eight more will be brought out. Twenty-five mules were suffocated, and some of their bodies were burned.
Explorations in the channels revealed that none of the men met death by burning, but that all of them were suffocated. It is impossible yet for the rescues to get far from the base of the main shaft, and it probably will be day before a thorough search of the entire mine can be made. Some of the channels are three-quarters of a mile long. After the entombed miners had gone down in the cage, a fire broke out, occasioned by the ignition of a barrel of oil which a miner was trying to divide. The flames spread at once to the hoisting shaft and the air shaft, and all communication with the top was cut off.
TWO CADETS DISMISSED.
Six Other West Point Lads to Be Sus pended. Shortly.
Washington, D. G. "Announcement was made by Secretary of War Wright that his recommendation for the punishment of the eight West Point cadets suspended from the military academy for hazing, had been approved by President Roosevelt. The order to be issued by Secretary Wright, based upon the president's approval, will dismiss from the academy the two first class men under suspension—William T. Rossell, Jr., a son of Colonel William T. Rossell of the engineer corps of the army, and Harry G. Weaver of Illinois, and the suspension without pay and allowances for one year of the six members of the Third class, George Washington Chase of New York, James A. Gillespie of Pennsylvania, Byron Quilmby Jones of New York, William Nalle of Virginia, William Wellington Prude of Alabama and Isaac Spalding of Oklahoma.
LUNATICS IN AMERICA.
They Are Admirably Handled, Says British Commission.
London, England.-The members of the royal commission on the care and control of feeble-minded persons, who in the course of their investigations visited the United States, have issued a report, in which they speak highly of the American system of dealing with these opportunists and the management of their institutions where they are assembled.
Most of the states visited by us," the report says, "the practical measures adopted for the solution of this problem were more advanced and more successful in character than anything attempted in Great Britain."
With regard to lunatic asylums, the impression of the commission is that in America these institutions are better designed.
INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
It Will Be Accomplished January 28,
June 20, September Macon
1909, Says Governor Magoon.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.-That the presidential and congressional election in Cuba would be held on November 14 next and that the inauguration of the newly elected president would take place on January 28, 1909, was the statement made by Charles Magoon, governor of Cuba, following a conference with the president. Governor Magoon said that President Roosevelt and himself had agreed upon these dates after a full discussion of the situation.
A MILE OF PENNIES.
To Be Collected by Georgia Women to Build Monument.
Rome, Ga.—To raise a mile of pennies is the task that has been set for themselves by the ladies of the N. B. Forrest Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy. The ladies have calculated that sixteen pennies laid side by side make a foot, and that the mile will amount to $844.80. They will add the money to the fund for a monument to General Forrest, who saved Rome from the federal army.
Score of Persons Hurt.
New Orleans, La.-An excursion train on the New Orleans and Great Northern railroad, returning from Covington, was wrecked near here. About twenty passengers who were cut by flying glass and others who were seriously bruised were brought to New Orleans on a relief train.
Booth Asks Equality for Women.
London, England.—On the eve of his departure on a tour abroad, General William Booth has issued a long manifesto eloquently pleading for the equality of women with men and exhorting every member of the Salvation army to embrace this view and train his children to this end.
TELLER UNDER IS ARREST.
Is Held for $193,000 Shortage Found
Eighteen Months Ago.
Chicago, Ill.—George W. Fitzgetald has been arrested on a charge of stealing $173,000 of United States funds from Assistant United States Treasurer William Boldenweck on February 20, 1907.
The mystery of the theft of $173,000 from the United States sub-treasury a year and a half ago, one of the largest losses the government has ever suffered in this manner, is believed to have been solved.
Fitzgerald was an assorting teller under Assistant United States Treasurer William Boldenweck, Suspicion at the time of the theft, February 20, 1907, rested on him, but so plausable was his story and so intense his apparent interest in discovering the real culprit, that interest ceased to center on him. Much work was done on the theory that the crime had been perpetrated by a colored man.
Meanwhile Fitzgerald was discharged from the government employ for culpable negligence in allowing such a theft to be consummated under his very eyes. The money stolen had been used and had been tied in packages, some of it having been marked for destruction at Washington. Any of it would readily have passed anywhere except for their large denominations. None of the bills were under $500 and some of them $1,000 and $5,000 denominations, the $1,000 ones predominating.
The theft, created a sensation throughout the country and congress at the last session was asked, and refused, to release Assistant Aresurer Boldenweck from liability, although it was promised that congress would again consider the matter at the next session. Meanwhile Herbert F. Young, a former Chicago newspaper reporter, and now head of a secret service agency, became interested in the case, but later as the agent of Mr. Boldenweck. Mr. Young's attention was redirected to Fitzgerald. The latter upin his discharge from the subtreasury stated that his whole fortune consisted of $600 in cash and a stock certificate for $1,000. His wife had a $700 interest in the estate of her mother, which was valued at about $4,000, and was in litigation. Fitzgerald, however, according to Mr. Young, embarked in speculation on a scale not consistent with the size of his means and his arrest was the result.
NEWSPAPER ATTACKS ROOSEVELT.
Sayu President Cares Little for Justice and Malery of Courts
Tree and Majesty of Courts.
Caracas, Venezuela. — President Roosevelt has been viciously attacked in the official journal of President Castro. The attack appears in Castro's paper, El Constitutionale, and is based on Roosevelt's criticism of Venezuelan courts. Here is the attack in part:
"If President Roosevelt attacks the tribunals of his own country, and questions the prestige of the courts, the honor of the judges and the impartiality of their judgments, it is nothing strange that he should also attack the tribunals of foreign countries and more easily cast aspersions on the name of judges whom he does not know. It appears that President Roosevelt cares little for the majesty of justice and the respect which he owes to the people."
SAID HER HUSBAND WAS UGLY.
But He Was Not "the Ugliest Man in Missouri."
Mammoth Springs, Ark.-Mrs. Jennie Sprun of New Madrid, Mo., admits that her husband does not resemble Apollo, but she will stand for no remarks about him, at least not by another woman. Mrs. Jessie Hammond of Mammoth Springs ventured to make comparisons and the result was a complete suspension of the peace at the reunion of the Blue and Gray of Missouri and Arkansas, while the delegates watched the melee that followed.
Mrs. Sprun was patient for a long time, but her wrath knew no bounds when Mrs. Hamilton voiced her opinion that the former's husband was "the ugliest man in Missouri."
LARGE BROKERAGE FIRM FAILS.
Was Unable to Deliver Stock They Had Sold,
New York City.—A. O. Brown & Co., one of the largest brokerage houses in this city, announced their suspension on the stock exchange.
The transactions of the firm have been under investigation by the authorities of the stock exchange and it was announced that transactions had been made for the firm's account under the rule which provides that where a firm is unable to deliver stock sold to another broker, the purchaser may buy in the stock at the expense of the firm failing to make delivery.
KERN TOLD OF NOMINATION.
Delivered His Opening Speech of the Presidential Campaign,
Indianaapolis, Ind—William J. Bryan delivered his keynote speech on the trust situation in connection with the notification of his running mate, John W. Kern, of the latter's nomination for vice president of the democratic party.
Mr. Kern also delivered his opening speech of the campaign. Mr. Bryan flayed Mr. Taft, the republican candidate, and the republican leaders, who have blocked the inforcement of existence of anti-trust laws and the republican platform, which he declares is lukewarm on the subject of private monopolies.
STOCK EXCHANGE DEALS
ORDERS WERE "MATCHED"
Over Million-Shares of One Stock Were Bought and Sold Without Affecting the Price.
New York City.—A special committee of five members of the New York stock exchange will conduct an investigation of the transactions which took place on the floor of the exchange recently, when more than 1,000,000 shares were bought and sold in enormous blocks in one day, and in such a manner as to arouse suspicion that the sales were so "matched as to create a fictitious impression of activity. The governing committee of the exchange took up the matter, and in a brief session authorized the president of the exchange, R. H. Thomas, to appoint the investigating committee.
The belief that the sales were manipulative had its origin in the fact that shares were bought and sold in tremendous blocks without greatly affecting the market prices. Some of the more conservative members refused to accept the orders when they became convinced that the sales were "matched," an order to sell a block of given stock being followed by an order to buy, given through a different broker. Some of the smaller brokers who trade on the floor, accepting a reduce commission of $2 for 10 shares, commission of $2 for 40 shares, as having done practically all of the day's enormous business. A single firm was reported to have handled transactions amounting to 600,000 shares.
The main question before the investigating committee will be the identity of the prime mover in the extraordinary market. If it is found that the orders were "matched" severe discipline will be applied, as it is a violation of the rules and punishable by dismissal from membership of the New York Stock Exchange.
NOTED DIPLOMAT DEAD.
Baron Speck Von Sternburg, German
Ambassador to U. S., Passes Away
Heidelberg, Germany.—Baron Speck Von Sternburg, the German ambassador to the United States, died in the Hotel Victoria in this city. The baroness, who was Miss Lillian May Langham of Louisville, Ky., was with her husband at the end. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of the lungs.
The baron and baroness came here from Hamburg at the end of last month to consult with Professor Vincenz Czerny, a skin specialist, concerning a malady from which the ambassador has been suffering for some time. After a prolonged examination of the diseased part on the left side of the Baron Von Sternburg's head, Professor Czerny-affirmed that the trouble was not cancer, but a lupus, and that he could cure it. Both the ambassador and his wife were intensely cheered at this opinion. Baron Von-Sternburg is described as having felt that his long agony was nearly over, and that soon he would be a well man again. His wife also shared that hope.
The alliment that resulted in the death of Baron Speck Von Sternberg has been stubborn and of long standing. It has been described as a lupus, growing out of an injury resulting from an accident that occurred while the baron was in the service of his government in India. He made a brave fight against the spread of the malady from the start, and his plucky effort to prevent the disease from spoiling his diplomatic career aroused keen sympathy. Washington, D. C.-News of the death of Ambassador Von Sternberg came not as a surprise, but as a great shock 'to his personal and official friends in Washington. By the officials in the state department and by those who were so fortunate as to enjoy his confidence and friendship, the death of Baron Von Sternberg is regarded as a distinct-personal loss.
STRONG ANTI-JAPANESE FEELING
Result of American Fleet's Visit to New South Wales.
Sydney, New South Wales.—Disregarding veiled threats as the agent of his country, Kisaburo Uyeno, Japanese consul, prevented a crisis by praising the American fleet's visit at a dinner given to the officers of the fleet. He declared Japan's friendship with America was traditional.
An anti-Japanese feeling is sweeping Australia as a result of the visit of the fleet.
Mother and Son Charged With Murder.
Baltimore, Md.-Alexander Rosenbloom and his mother have been arrested here suspected of the murder of E. J. Rosenbloom, the father of the young man. His body was found in a trunk near Belmar, N. J., and the case attracted considerable attention at the time of the discovery of the trunk.
Fish Hawk Attacks Swimmer.
Aubury-Park, N. J.-Immense fish hawks attacked a swimmer near the beach. They pecked his head until he was nearly exhausted. Life guards rescued the swimmer after his head was horribly lacerated. The rapacious birds were after weak fish.

° - sun. No ong has eyer seen the sun. A series Ob Coliveh
“| tric shells envelop a nucleus of which we know absolute-
ly bothing except that ft must be almost infinitely hotter
3 than the fiercest furnace, and that it must amount to more
S@eee0esoo than nine-tenths of the solar mass. That nucleus is the
s $ real sun, forever hidden from us. The outermost of the
beceeccoes énveloping shells is about five thousand miles thick, and is
,ealled the “chromosphere.” It is a gaseous flood, tinted
with the scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furiously active that it spurts up
great tongues of glowing gas (“prominences”) to a height of thousands of
miles. Time was when this agitated sea of crimsom fire could be seen to ad-
vantage only during an eclipse; now special instruments are used which en-
able astronomers to study it in the full glare of the sun. Beyond the chromo-
sphere, far beyond the prominences even, Hes the nebulous pallid “oorona,”
visible only during the vanishing moments of a total eclipse, aggregating not
more than seven days in a century. No one’has ever satisfactorily explained
how the highly attenuated matter composing both the prominences and the
corona is supported without falling back into the sun under the pull of solar
gravitation. Now that Arrhenius has cosmically applied, the effects of light-
pressure a solution is presented.
Hoy difficult it is to account*for such delicate streamers as the “pragn-
Inences” on the sun is better comprehended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful {s the grip of solar gravitation. If the sun were a hab-
itable globe and you could transport yourself to its surface, you would find
yourself pulled down so forcibly by gravitation that you would weigh two tons,
assuming that you are an ordinary human being. Your clothing alone
would weigh more than one hundred pounds. Baseball could be played in
a solar drgwing room; for there would be some difficulty in throwing 2 ball
more thantfnirty feet. Tennis would be degraded to a form of outdoor ping-
pong. From these consideratiqns it is plain that gravitation on the sun would
tend to prevent the formation of any lambent streamers and to pull down to
its surface masses of any size—Harper’s Magazine.

Prevents Chicken Flying.
An Iowa man has designed an antiflying chicken wing attachment having in view to prevent the annoyances and damages incident to chicken scratching in your neighbor's garden. As shown, in the illustration, the device is attached to the chicken's wing. It is made of parallel pieces of wire bent into the form of an elbow, with a hook at the end. To apply the attachment to a chicken's wing it is

slipped over the wing and by placing the parallel sides toward each other the hook can be snapped in position and retained by the resiliency of the wire. The hook will be on the inner corner of the wing and will prevent the device from slipping off. The chicken will thus be prevented from spreading the wing as required to fly and thereby unable to get. over a fence into the neighbor's garden. — Washington Star.
Handle For Cooking Utensils.
The device shown herewith provides a ready means for lifting a hot pan or like utensil from the stove. It is formed of a single piece of sheet metal doubled upon itself to provide a bifurcated spring handle. The lower end of the handle is formed in

the shape of a blade, which may be inserted beneath the cooking utensil. The opposite end is bent to form a gripping surface, which fits over the edge of the pan. In use the two ends of the device are caused to automatically grip the pan by the very act of grasping the handle.—Scientific American.
Uninherited Forgetfulness.
It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding, that his only son's memory was not all that could be desired. "Where in the world he got such a forgetful streak is beyond me," said the exasperated father to his wife on one occasion.
"What has he forgotten now?" asked Mrs. Harding, with downcast eyes and a demure expression.
"The figures of the last return from the election on the bulletin board," and Mr. Harding inserted a finger in his collar as if to loosen it, and shook his head vehemently.
"Looked at 'em as he came past not half an hour ago, and now can't tell me.
"As I said to him, 'If you're so stupid you can't keep a few simple figures in your head, why don't you write 'em down on a piece of paper, as I do and have done all my life, long before I was your age!'" Youth's Companion.

An Unsuccessful Beacon.
Speaking of the perversity of country "squires," State Senator John S. Fisher, chairman of the Pennsylvania capitol investigation commission; told this story recently: "We have an old codger out in Indiana County who fears neither lawyer nor court. Not long ago Dick Wilson had a case before the 'squire,' and knowing his man, he went to the office fortified with a dozen or more supreme court decisions. "Wilson argued his case, cited several opinions, and finally remarked: 'Squire, I have here some decisions by the Supreme Court o Pennsylvania, which I shall read.'
the justice interrupted, saying:
"Mr. Wilson, I reckon you've read enough. Those Supreme Court decisions are all right so far as they go, but if the Supreme Court had not already reversed itself I have no doubt that it will do go in the near future. Judgment is, therefore given' against your client.'"—Ne England Grocer.
Schoolboys' Weather Observations.
An interesting method of instructing boys in that part of nature study pertaining to the atmosphere has been devised by John Reld, the headmaster of the Reckleford Council School Yeovil. Each day of the school wee several boys are sent to the corporation gas works to copy the records parameter movements and rainforest there kept, one or two less experienced lads accompanying them. Meanwhile other boys note the direction of the wind and record the temperature from readings of thermometers hung in the open on the north and south sides of the school. The teacher of the class then enters the particulars on a sheet, and encages the scholars to make deduction from the collected data. The boys copy the results, and every Frid they write an account of their observations in the form of "general marks" on the week's weather.—London, Evening-Standard.

Alligator Versus
Muskrat.
Alligator Versus
Muskrat.
Some ten or twelve years back the police jury of Pláquemine parish passed a law against the capture and killing of alligators. That parochial statute would have made the persecuted saurians of the Lower Coast smile with happiness far behind their ears had it been "duly respected. Now Representative Welsh, of Calcasieu parish, has made alligator protection a State wide matter by framing and having favorably reported in the present session of our General Assembly an act to prohibit the killing of alligators in any part of Louisiana.
This law ought to, and probably will, he passed before the fast approaching adjournment of the present session of our State Legislature.
The good reasons for this existing parochial and proposed State legislation in defense of our harmless and peace loving Louisiana alligator are founded on desires and intents, to preserve the local balance of preda-

actor hunter, and made formidable cruises after squads of them, who have evaded him by facing to the marsh domains of neighboring parishes, that parochial law has been largely and persistently violated. A State law would be likewise disregarded by the professional alligator-slayers unless it could be enforced by the salzure and confiscation of all alligator hides at their points of safe and distribution. In New Orleans and the towns near the coast and the railroad, crossings of the buyers, that
course through all of our extensive marshes region. Officers of the law might well hope to find the proverbial need in the haystack as to catch the professional alligator hunters in our tidal marshes.
In life, meantime, the immense multiligation and the desirable destruction of the muskrats in most of the tier of Southern parishes in this State are growing to be grave questions. These vermin have already largely added in several parishes to the cost and productiveness of rice-culture by cutting the levees meant to hold in the irrigation water and devouring the rice shoots and stalks in extensive fields. To a more limited extent they have thinned out stands near the ditch banks in our more depressed Lower Coast cane fields, and, as our State engineers and sugar planters well know; they are proving a source of annually greater danger to our great levee system during periods of high water along the lower part of the Mississippi River.
If the salvation of our alligators should not result in the desired datnation of the vastly multiplied muskrat species, the parochial governments of the parishes most affected and the State at large will be forced to take some practical means to bring about their reduction or destruction. Perhaps in default of the replenished alligator supply, public trapping, wholesale poisoning of their villages, and the payment of bounties on their scalps might accomplish this result.
The muskrat must go.—The Louisiana' Planter, and Sugar Manufacturer.
The Price of Sellers Patent Comes High in England.
The elevation of Mr. John Morley and Sir H. H. Fowler to the peerage is probably as pleasing to themselves as it is to their thousands of admirers; but each of the gentlemen so honored will have to pay a fee of at least £200 for the privilege of adding the title of "Viscount" to their nanies, which is the cost of letters patent for a viscounty of the United Kingdom.
For higher rank the fees amount to more. The new Duke of Devonshire, for instance, when he comes to take the necessary letters patent, which will fully entitle him, his own will have to pay £250 for the same. In addition to paying away an immense fortune in the shape of death duties. If the change had been that of a marquisate, the fee would have been £900. A newly-married pays £250, a baron £150, and a satirist £100. These fees, however, are only part of the expense entailed by a man who is honored with a title. The cost of investiture, heraldry, etc. considerably augments the amount. It may be remembered that when Lord Roberts accepted his earldom in 1901, and was subsequently given the Garter, he was presented with a bill for £1750, which at first he strongly objected to pay.
To the average reader it will probably seem absurd that when such rewards for serving the country are granted the recipient should so suffer in pocket. It is not so bad, nqwadays, however, as in the time of James L. who multitied his baronets pretty heavily for their privileges. They were obliged to each maintain thirty soldiers for defense purposes, or pay into the Exchequer an equivalent sum, which amounted to £1095 per year. Furthermore, to be qualified for the honor in those days, one had to be "a gentleman born," and have a clear estate of £1000 per annum.
Originally the fees were paid to certain officers of the State connected with the business of investing a man with his title, but they are now more in the nature of duties, and are paid into the Exchequer, thus helping to swell the revenues of the country. Recently it was proposed that a further tax on titles—£10 per annum for a knight, £100 for an earl and £5000 for a duke—should be imposed, and some irresponsible people have even dared to suggest that these titles should be put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder.
As illustrating the curious demands made upon a man, who becomes a titled personage, it might be mentioned that at the beginning of the year 200 celebrities, who within the last four years have been granted the privilege of prefixing their name with "Sir," each received a letter from the Walker Trustees, Edinburgh, asking for a sum of £3 6s. 3d., which it was said, was due in respect of each gentleman's creation as Knight of the United Kingdom. In the case of a baronet £5 was demanded. When inquiries were made it was found that the Walker Trustees, of whom very few, of the titled gentlemen had ever heard, had purchased the rights of the Heritable Usher of Scotland, one of the many functionaries scattered about the United Kingdom, who were entitled to perquisites in the shape of fees, from persons whom the King honored by conferring titles upon them.
Practically all the office-holders who were entitled to these herquisites surrendered their rights to the late Government in return for an annual allowance. The Heritable Usher of Scotland, however, declined to do so, and consequently the Walker Trustees, as holders of that, office, sent out their much discussed requests for fees to newly made knights and baronets.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WOMAN
Now York City.—Never has there a prettler style been in vogue than that of the over blouse and it suits
10
the young girls so peculiarly well that it is a special favorite among the younger contingent. Here is one
1
that is charmingly graceful and attractive and which can be utilized either separately or joined to the skirt, making a semi-princesse dress as liked. In the illustration the material is pongee with bands of taffeta, while the centre front is made of all-over embroidery, but almost all materials that are used for girls' dresses are appropriate and it will be found equally satisfactory for the thin materials of the present and for the slightly heavier ones of the near future. The centre-front portion is a feature and can be made of anything in contrast. Bandings can be utilized, and some of the Oriental effects are exceedingly handsome, while again, the bands on the blouse itself can be cut from any contrasting material or could be of the same embroidered or braided with soutache, or banding could be applied over them.
The house is made with the fronts, centre front and backs. The sleeves are cut in one with it and there are trimming straps which conceal the shoulder seams while the shaped strap, finishes the neck, front and back edges. The closing is made invisibly at the back.
The quantity of material required for the 'sixteen year' size is two and seven-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, two 'yards thirty-two or
Embroidered Net.
An exceedingly pretty touch is given the hand-embroidered waist by basting a fine net under certain figures before embroidering them, cutting out the material afterward so that the figures appear to be of embroidered net.
Hair Worn Plain.
On occasions when hats are discarded the hair is worn plain, or adorned with beads or palllettes, the ribbons being quite abandoned.
one and one-half yards forty-four inches wide with one-half yard eighteen inches wide for the centre front, three-quarter yard thirty-two inches wide for the centre front, three-quarter yard thirty-two inches wide for the trimming to make as illustrated.
Velvet Trimming.
An acceptable trimming for tailored and semi-tailored costumes is a thin weave of chiffon velvet.
Child's Reefer.
There is no coat worn by the small girl that quite takes the place of the reefer. It is very generally becoming, it is simple yet absolutely smart in effect and it can be slipped on and off with the greatest possible ease. This one is made of white serge with collar and cuffs of Copenhagen blue, but the model can be utilized for every material that is in vogue for little girls' coats. White is always pretty and attractive, but dark red, dark and medium blues and mixtures are all in vogue, while for the real warm weather linen, pique and pongee all are liked.
The little coat is made simply with the loose fronts and back and with the big sailor collar. The shield when worn is buttoned into place be-
10
neath the collar and closed at the back. The full sleeves are finished with roll-over cuffs, but the plain
1
ones are simply stitched to simulate straight ones.
The quantity of material required for the medium size (slx years) is three and one-eighth yards twenty seven, one and three-quarter yards forty-four or one and one-half yards fifty-two inches wide with one-half yard forty-four inches wide for collar and cuffs.

FOR PRESIDENT:
Wm. H. TAFT,
OF OHIO.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:
JAMES S. SHERMAN,
OF NEW YORK.
We extend sympathy to our many friends in Augusta who may be affected by the ravages of the waters that swept over that city during the week.
SINCE the advent of the present administration the reports of policemen assaulting prisoners have been few. This week it is reported that a policeman on the east side arrested a woman who was accused of being drunk and made a pulp of her head. It developed afterward that the woman will soon become a mother. This is galling. A strapping policeman should be able to cope with a woman without beating her.
THE legislature is in extra session considering the report of the special committee that investigated the convict system. The report of this committee showed a horrible state of affairs and no doubt not half has been told. The Governor is determined to have the lease system abolished and in this he has sentiment with him. Georgia should follow in the wake of the other leading states in favoring prison reform.
We are strong believers in retribution. It comes in various ways, but it will never fail. In the Springfield matter the business men and other tax payers who were loath to raise sentiments against the mob will have to pay the cost of it by loss in trade and the levying of increased tax to meet the expenses caused by the ravages of the mob. In another form, it is shown that a white woman who was indicted as being a leader in the demolishing a restaurant, while being arrested swallowed some poisonous stuff and died before she reached the jail. One fellow who assisted in the lynching of William Donegan has declared that he is going insane, which has been verified. There are other cases that we do not hear about.
The crime of Springfield is the way the New York World pictures the mob rule in that city:
"Sheer savagery is a mild phrase to describe the conduct of the mob which overran Springfield, Ill., burning Negro homes and plundering and shooting innocent victims. The lust of blood had turned men into wild beasts. There has been no such manifestation of the lynching madness in this country since the Atlanta riots.
"It is not the number of persons killed and houses fired by the torch that signifies so much as the fact that thousands of people in a Northern city of less than 40,000 inhabitants were capable of joining in these crimes against law, reason and humanity. The capital of the State of Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln, in a few short hours passed under the rule of a blood-crazed mob and the constituted authorities were swept aside like dummies of straw.
"When such a thing can happen purely as the outgrowth of race prejudice it is not merely the city of Springfield or the State of Illinois, but the nation that must hang its head in shame."
In about fifteen more days the registration books will be closed so far as the State election is concerned. Those whose names are not on the books by that date will not be able to vote for State officers or vote on the disfranchisement law. It behooves every colored man who has not yet registered, to go to the Court House and do so at once. All of the loyal race men who have registered are to be commended, and the others must get into line immediately. Those of our men who have not registered are not taking this disfranchisement law as seriously as they should. They do not realize that the passage of this law would strike the Negro in a vital spot, abridging his rights of citizenship, and which is but a step to serfdom. Like men who value our citizenship, let us in solid phalanx register and on the day of election go to the polls and vote for manhood rights, thus handing down to our children the fact that we did all that we could to defeat this iniquitous effect.
ment that our enemies are trying to fasten upon us. Talk less in this matter, but act well your part by registering at once.
Republican Sentiments. "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land."—From Republican platform adopted at national convention 1908.
Screven Republicans.
Screven Republicans. The Republicans of Screven County had a rousing meeting last week. It was well attended and enthusiasm was great. Capt. J. C. Simmons was present and urged the voters to register and vote against disfranchisement, and rally to the banner of Taft and Sherman.
Bluffton Dots.
Hardeeville team was defeated by Blufton team Wednesday at Hardeville 3 to 0; attendance 243. The fishing maroon that was given for the Hardeville young ladies and gentlemen was grand at Blufton. Mr. James Gadsden's sloop the Hustler was used. There were many large fish caught.
St. Benedict's Church
St. Benedict's Church
Rev. Joseph A. Dahent, member of the Society for the African Missions, has been appointed Assistant Priest at St. Benedict's Church, of which Rev. Gustave Obrecht is the Pastor. Father Dahent was born in the beautiful country of Alsace, the classical home of so many missionaries. He made his literary and theological studies in France. After his ordination, the young priest was sent as a Professor to Cork, Ireland, where the Society has a college. During seven years he taught Latin, French and Philosophy and worked zealously at the formation of Irish students to the priesthood. Many of his former pupils are scattered today as missionary priests in different parts of the world. A warm and sincere admirer of Ireland and of the Irish people, Father Dahent left with deep regret a land so dear to his heart and his many true and devoted Irish friends.
When Bishop Keile entrusted the colored missions of his large diocese to the African Mission Society, Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner, the Superior of the new mission, asked the General of the Society to give him Father Dahent for his immense field of labor, convinced as he was, that the knowledge of the English language and the brilliant qualities of the young professor would find a grand sphere in the missions of Georgia. In August 1907, Rev. J.A. Dahent landed in New York. At the request of Archbishop Farley, he remained one year in the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, for the colored people in New York, where he acquired an experience which will be precious to him in his new position.
Referring to the departure of Rev. J. A. Dahlent from the city, a New York paper says: "Father Dahlent, by his zeal and many precisely qualities, has endearled himself to the coiled people of New York 'City, and there is deep regret on their part and on the part of his pastor at his departure."
May it be given to the young priest to work with success for many long years in his new field of labor.
Second Baptist Church.
Usual services were carried out Sunday. Rev. Dr. Goodwin of the Atlanta Baptist College preached for us Sunday night. The representatives to the Darfen Sunday School Convention have returned and report an excellent meeting. Every Body remembers the big book church tally has been reset for the 1st, Sunday in October, thus giving the pastor time to have returned from the National Convention and his western trip. The sick list is much reduced, with one funeral during the week. Sunday School to-morrow at 4 p.m., come Rev. May preaches at both hours to-morrow. Morning subject: "True Relligion." Let all come prepared tomorrow to take an envelope and help the pastor raise the National Baptist Convention money.
UNION B. CHURCH
The Lord is still blessing us. Lic. Hardy Williams filled the pulpit all day and preached sermons. The church has been divided into wards. Each member must do his or her duty. Our new pastor is doing great work. He has raised over $500.00, he has received over 75 new members into the church and will soon put lights, in. We pray God's blessing on the man. Pastor Moss is getting ready to go to the National Convention in September. The first Sunday is our communion; all the sister churches and friends are invited to attend. Dr. Moss is in the city Now. He has been ill, but is now somewhat better.
F. A. B. Church.
Services on last Sunday were well attended. Rev. A. W Bryant of Valdosta, Ga., preached an able sermon at the evening services. The inclement weather had a telling affect on the week day services. Tomorrow. Sunday, will be the memorial of the late Rev. J. W. Carr. In addition to the following program which will be rendered, remarks will be made by eminent ministers throughout the State. You are invited
to be present. Members will, please take notice that the church is taking its census and each member is required to register his name and address before Nov. 17, 1908.

Ralse Corn For Silage.
All dairymen recognize the value
of corn ensilage as a cheap food for
milk production. It is but seldom
on jooking over the roughage of any
large dairy barn, that corn stover fs
seen, The silo has taken the place
of the corn stalk loft.
An experiment conducted recently
at the Pennsylvania experiment sta-
tion showed that in meat production
steers fed corn silage as part of thefr
ration made better gains than those
fed corn stover. The stover fed
steers ate more grain than those fed
‘silage, but the cost of the feed, how-
sever, was less, to the credit of a sto-
ver ration, But whethef corn is in
aysilo or on the loft it is a mighty
good food, when rightly used, and
none too much is ralsed by New Eng-
land farmers—F. P. H., in the

In the early settlement of the
American colonies the, settigts need-
ed every foot of their cleared land
to raise corn, potatoes and pump;
Kins,.and could not .possibly spare
any of their small clearings for pas-
turage. Consequently everybody's
eattle’ and horses (and tfejuently
hogs) were pastured in the woods
and along the roadside, angzof.cours2

being accidentally ‘leftrgpen. At
length our lawmakers at Harrisburg
ventured to let the people of the
State vote on the question of fence
or no fence, and a large majority
was for no fence. As the law stands
now, everybody must take care of his
own stock. They aro not required
to fence other people's cattle out,
but only find it necessary to fence
their pasture flelds to keep their own
cattle in, and no stock is allowed in

‘The results as a‘rule favored the
use of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotted ma-
nure. The best results were ob-
tained by applying the manure ag
long in advance of the time the
crop was to use it as possible, As
between applying fresh and rotted
manure before and after plowing,
the results favored applying fresh
manure as a top-dressing after plow-
jing. Jn a comparison of plowing
under manire in the fall and spring,
the differences were slight but wiil-

. OPEN DEALING IN* PAINT.
Buying paint’ used to be lke the
proverbial’ buying of a “pig in a
poke.” “Mixtures in, which chalk,
ground rock, etc., prediominated wers
marked and sold as,"'Pure White
Lead.” the deception‘ not being ap-
parent until the paint and the patat-
Ing were pald for. This deception ts
still practiced, but we have Jearned
to expose it easily:
Natlonal Lead Company,_the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizig the injustice that was
delng done to both ‘property owners
and honest pafnt manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now, famous’ “Dutch-Boy Palgter,”:
and "put this trade mark, as a Quar-
anty of purity, on every’ package of
thelr White Lead. They then set
about’ familfarizing the public with
the glow-pfpe test by which the purl-
ty and genuineness of White Lead
May be determined, atid furnished a
blow-pipe free to ‘every one who
would write them for it, This ac-
tton wasn itself a guaranty of the
purity of ‘National’ Lead Company's
‘White Lead.
As the result of this open dealing
the paint bayer tarday has-only him-
self to blame if hetis defraided. For

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
“THE REV. W. H. M/MASTER
bo ¢
Theme: Spiritual Awakening,
See ae ame warkosnlt hase oe.
morning on “The Spiritual Awaken-
ing of Man.” The text was from
Luke 9:32: “When they were fully
awake they saw His glory.” Mr. Mc-
‘Master sald: <8
+ The comffion yet strange phenom-
ena of sleep and waking provide us
with a significant simile. The state
‘when the body is dormant, the senses
are stopped and reason {s absent, be-
comes the symbol of inaction, ob-
Uvion, unconsclousness, deatb., The
state of waking comés to represent-in
our language, action, awareness, re-
sponsiveness, life. Sin is said to put
the soul to’ sleep in moral night,
Christ is represented as the awakener
of those asleep, the lifter of those
dead into newness of: life. A sin is
represented by sleep and death, life ts
represented by light and glory. The
Dasal-suggestion in the word “glory”
is that of dazzling brightness, of efful-
gence, and ft will gather a deepening
content as the wealth and wonder of
the spiritual life are unveiled.
Religion has as its subject matter
not the morbid, erratic and abnormal
things.of dreams and nightmares, but
the normal visions of the awakened
soul. When the soul is most normal
and when it has most nearly attained
the fdealstate, then its sight {s clearest
and its vision greatest. When Peter,
James and John, on the Mount of
Transfiguration, were heavy with
sleep, they saw nothirng and heard
nothing, but when they were fully
awake they saw Christ's glory and the
two men who stood with Him. The
non-religious mind {s asleep and dead
to the all-enveloping realities of the
‘unseen spiritual world. Having ears,
they hear not the upper harmonies;
having eyes they see not the tran-
scendent glories. The awakened
mind, on the other hand, has come to
spiritual consciousness. He responds
to spiritual stimully he feels the lure
of moral beauty, his faculties have
found a sphere-of blessed action ang
his whole personality is awakened to
a spiritual sensitiveness which catches
ravishing glimpses of the divine
glory. *
The world of spiritual reality is all
around us, It inspheres us as an at~
mosphere. It fs underneath and {m-
minent in all material forms. “In
God we live and move and have our
being.” Our real selves are unseen
and spiritual, the body being the
earthen vessel of the unseen gift of
Mfe. Our words are visible or audible
signs of spiritual ideas. “Our draw-
ings of lines and angles and circles
but visible representations of purely
ideal relations, our books and li-
braries but means of concreting and
preserving that spiritual thing we
call literature. We are asleep and
dead to all we are ignorant of. If
‘we are aware of the treasures of lit-
erature we are awake and alive to
them. If we are conscious of the un-
seen and‘ spiritual things we are
awake and alive to them. Because
we do not see these spiritual glories
does not argue their non-existence,
but only our dead condition. Those
‘who see them are the prophets, the
seers, the men of spiritual authority
and leadership. Christ was just as
divine and just as glorious down in
the valley healing the demoniac child
and restoring him into his father's
arms as He was on Mount Hermon
when the-disciples saw Ilis garments
as white as snow. Tho only differ-
ence was that on the mountain “they
were fully awake and saw His glory.”
The waking of the soul is a process.
‘The true object of education “is to
awaken and arouse and develop the
powers of the personality, The
growth of the bodily powers is largely
conditioned by well-directed activity,
hence calisthenics and gymnastics.
‘The development of the mental facul-
thes is conditioned by stimulating
thought activity, hence systems of in-
struction, and teachers and courses of
study. The awakening of the moral
nature is conditioned by doing the
will of God,.hence prayer and
churches and: rituals and preaching
and feligion. The object of religious
instruction is to awaken the sleeping
conscience, the dormant feelings, the
inactive will and enlist them actively
in the spiritual love and labor of
Christ. ;
The history of religion when
written from the standpoint of pro-
gressive development will be the
story of the awakening of the soul
to spiritual things» Professor Bourne
says: “When there fs little mental
or moral development the religious
instinct can cling to a stick, or a stone
or some low and hideéus anima}.
But as life unfolds and intellect is
clarified and conscience becomes reg-
nant In our religious thinking, it then
appears that there are certain condi-
tions that must be met by any religion
that is to command the assent of de-
veloped humanity.” All races have
worship and religion. The aweken-
ing of the mind, as evidenced in the
progress of education, has made-wor-
worship and religion. The awaken-
Ang of the sense of the beautiful, as
‘evidenced by the progress of art and
esthetics, has made worship’ more
beautiful. The awakening of the
moral nature, as evidericed by ethical
systems and ethical emphasis, has
made worship more ethical. When
men are fully awake they will.see the
glory of Christ, for He is the truth for
the mind, love for the heart and
‘the mind, love for the Heart and
The mind of Christ,” which obeys,
which is open to the: truth, which
challenges investigation, which sub-
mits the xallprints to the most doubt-
ful scrutiny, 1s the instrument of
progress in knowledge. So also in
the moral realm, Christ fs the great
power to quicken the conscience, pro-
duce repentance and win the moral
nature to the highest standards. He
has developed the moral nature to
the place where no man can hope to
be religious beyond the extent that
e 1s moral, and n¢ corporation repre-
fonts Gorislisn things beyond the ext
tent-that {t incorporates the ethics
of Christian love in all its business,

Dlecoverers of Ovvortunity,
It is a peculiarity of human nature
that we do not readily respond to op-
portunities for doing good unless we
discover them in ourselves. There is
something in the self-discovery 6f op-
portunity that carries with It both in-
splration and the sense of responsi-
bility. ‘Tell one that the chance con-
fronts him of doing this or that, show
him the human need, and show him
also the way to supply it, and he will
thank you—but how seldom he will
follow your well-meant but more or
less officious advice!
On the other hand, let one discover
for himself the thing that ought to be
done, and most likely he will go-and
do it. The very discovery of human
need is an Incentive to human help-
fulness. One is ripe for the Joy and
inspiration of service that begins with
his own {nitiative. ~
Is not this one of God's wise pro-
visions for keeping us allye to the
constant presence of opportunities?
He gives us great joy in the personal
discovery of them, and the persona}
response to them, whereas an oppor-
tunity discovered’and pointed out by
another js a xind of lifeless and re-
mote thing, that we respond to, if we
respond at all, perfunctorily and with-
out enthuslasm. At such times we
feel as it we had been cheated out
of the best part of the joy of doing
good—the doing ft upon our own in-
{tlative, with the glad heart that fs

has it been said that “the value of an
opportunity largely consists in having
Seen it for one's self.”—The Watch-

One Sure Thing.
One thing 4s sure, my friends: If
God is going to forgive us our sins,
Be have got to repent of our sins and
turn from them. “Let the wicked
forsake his ways.” Not only must we
forsake, our sins, but we must bring
forth fruits meet for repentance. I
don’t know who the young man was
‘who went to his employer the other
morning and said: “There's the
money I took from you some years
ago,” ‘but that was bringing forth
fruits meet for repentance. We have
not only got to forsake our sins, but
if we have Injured any one, if we have
slandered him and caused him to
suffer, we must make restitution as
far a8 we can. And when we bring
{forth such fruits, men will have confl-
ence in our Christianity. I have
heard of a man who hed four of bis
neighbor’s sheep stray in among his
own, and he took the marks off them
and kept them. When he was con-
verted, these four sheep troubled hira.
Don't think that you are going to
have peace with God if you've got
four sheep that belong to somebody
else, or have put somebody “else’s
money into your pocket.—Moody.
Why It Pays to Conauer Sin.
It is better to conquer temptation
than to be freed from It. Therefore
God does not, at once, take us out of
the world and beyond the reath of
temptation; He does better than that
when He keeps us here and offers
us His omnipotence for the defeat of
our enemy. A victorious, sind@esct
man has’ more ta be grateful for than
an undisturbed angel. For every vie-
tory over sin brings two notable re-
sults. It Increases our own power
against temptation, and it lessens the
effectiveness of that temptation 4m its
next onset. So God actually helps us
to get freed from temptation every
time we use His strength to defeat
temptation. It may not always ap-
‘pear,so, for temptation dies hard: but
it isso, and we can prove ft if we
will fight on in undiscouraged as-
surance that {t {s a one-sided conflict,
after all, and God and we’ are on that
side.—Sunday-School Times.

RE-COVERING A CHAIR. ~
‘The number of cane-seated chairs
that are either cast on the scrap heap
or are repaired by placing upon them
hideous. ‘wooden cheir-seats, could
easily be made fit to decorate any
room to which company might be ad:
mitted by a lttle deft handling of
tufting, the*shears, tacks and the
hammer, screws, a‘screw-driver and
the saw. When the cane bottom is
destroyed take it out altogether. Se-
eure thin bor*boards, turn chalr up-
side down, saw boards to cover’ bot-
tom and place on ‘firmly ‘with small
serewe. > ‘
Next’ get tufting an@ make a mat
of it, placing It in the hollow. Over
this spread a firm, black cloth, plush
or leather, if easily‘secured, and cut
to shape, leaving enough, to. turn in
the edges, in order that it might be
durable enough for the tacks to hold
firmly. .
After all this {s done put dh with
black upholsterer’s tacks or those
gilt-headed tacks bought in any hard-
ware store.
‘When the chair Is revarnished it 1s
practically new.—New Haven Regis-

HINTS ABOUT CANNING FRUIT.
In order to be successful in can-
ning frait it is necessary that care be
taken in the selection as wel? as in
the preparation of the fruit. The
best freit should be selected and the
jars thoroughly sterilized before the
fruit is put into them. With ‘the ex-
ception of pears and goosebervies all
fruits used for canning should be
ripe when picked and canned whilo
fresh. Pears are better it picked be-
fore thoroughly ripe and allowed to
ripen in the house, while gooseberries
are used before they ripen. Do not
begin the process of canning fruit un-
til you ‘hava Jour fruit and cooking
utensils all in readiness and then
complete the process as rapidly. as
possible. Granite or porcelain pans
are best for this purpose, and they
should be shallow in order that the
fruit may be “only one layer deep.
This allows it to cook quickly, which
is the secfet of its being Ilght colored
and fine flavored. and {t also makes it
possible to handle it so as to avold
breakiug it. Never think to econo-
mize,by using old rubbers on the jars
for you can buy a good many rubbers
with the price of one jar of frult—
‘The Housekeeper. |
DUSTING FURNITURE.
The proper method cf dusting furn-
{ture has to be learned. It does not
come naturally.
Girls rarely begin with a duster in
each hand, which 1s absolutely neces-
sary to success; one in the lift hand
is needed to prevent leaving finger-
marks when lifting and steadying the
furniture. *
Each piece should be wiped Jightly
from the top downward to remove
dust, and after the duster has been
shaken out of the window, not over
the carpet, the piece should be rubbed
again between the two dusters ‘with
both hands. This is a saving:of time
and insures all sides belng equally
bright. ef
A damp cloth is the best of all
dusters, although many women will
not use one, claiming that it injures
the polish on the furniture. This ob-
Jection 1s absurd, for if the cloth {s
clean the moisturd will not harm the
furniture.
It may remove the gloss, but this
can easily be brought back when the
surface of the wood ts dry by rubbing
hard with a dry, soft cloth.
The advantage {s that instead of
allowing the dust to fly about the
room it fs all gathered on the cloth,
which keeps it from settling any-
where else,
‘When using the damp duster only
gO over a small space at one time,
rinse‘ the cloth ‘well and there will
be no danger of injuring the wood-

Coffee Drinking on the Increase,
Coffee bids fair to become the most
widely used beverage in the .world.
Its importation into this country has
reached enormous proportions. New
Orleans ts a close,second to New York
in number of bags recelved anaually,
end these two ports almost monop-
olize the green coffee business of this
country. Roasters and packers of
these two cities have an advantage
over those of the interior, ,in as much
as they have no expensive raflroad
frelght to pay on the heavy green
coffee, There is a great difference
in the coffee drunk in the North and
the South. In the North the coffee is
roasted a ight brown and fs made
Suto. weak decoction resembling tea.
In the South the coffee 1s roasted a
rich, dark brown, which brews into
a rich, frothy Mquid of pronounced
flavor and greater'strength. Dealers
all recognize the difference fetween
“Northern Roast” and “Southern
Roast." The best and lowest priced
prepared coffee for Southern people,
therefore, comes from New Orleans.
The most popular and satlsfactory
brand is called Luzlanze Coffee. It is
a-well known fact that this coffee has
twice the strength of ordinary brands
and is, therefore, very economical.
Every enterprising grocer in the
South has it for sale.

NATURE
AND A WOMAN'S WORK
OO ES
Yea &
as
Cea We
Wes (
Nature and a woman’s work com-
bined have produced the grandest
Seay for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the ie old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied pe
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
‘The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and ‘cure
diseases that bafile the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe-
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination of drugs,
Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman’s ills.
‘Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
“Complete restoration to health
means so much’to me that for the sake
of other suffering women I am-willing
to make my troubles public.
“For twelve years I had been suffer-
ing with the worst formsof female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. ‘No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk! About two years
ago L wrote Mrs. Pinicham for advice,
T followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women.”
What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

BIG PROFITS.
A Pill That Sold at 6,000 Times Its
Cost.
_ One of his Majesty's judges expressed
surprise the other aay on: hearing that
a certain proprietary pill war sold at a
profit of’ more than: 6000 percent on
prime cost. Yet’ there are scores of
other articles ordinarily deait in by
trades people that show a bigger re-
turn even than this. s
‘Mineral waters, for instance, cost
to manufacture, on an average, about
the one-hundredth part of a penuy per
bottle. Yet your grocer will charge
you 112d for a “large” soda and a
publican 4d. the gross profit over
prime cost working out at 15,000 and
40,000 percent respfttively. .
‘A quart of lime water is sold or-
dinarily by chemists for 6d. Yet a
single pennyworth of lime will suffice
to make certainly not fewer than 200
gallons. ed
Artificial teeth, which used to be
smade of ivory, always 4 most expen-
sive material, are now made of por-
colain at a cost of about 5d. aplece, ex-
cluding of course, the attached pieces
of platinum. Yet a dentist will still
charge you ivory price—say, 10 guineas
‘to 20 guineas a set. *
Spectacles and “folders” such as are
‘sold in the shops of West End .occu
lists for from 2 to 7 guineas a pair,
cost only a shilling or two to manu:
facture, so far as regards ‘the lenses,
which are, after all, the essential thing.
‘The gold or silver inounts are exteed-
ing light and their intrinsic values con-
sequently trifling.
‘And as it is with these things, sa it
Is with many others, A guinea top-
hat costs about 2s. to make. An ordin-
ary violin, such as fs retalled at, say,
2 or 3 guineas, can be put together
at a total inclusive outlay of about 4s.
Diamonds are exported for the whole-
sale dealers and producers to yield not
Jess than 10,600 percent profit, and the
South African “ring” usually arranges
matters In such a way that expecta-
tions are not disappointed.—Tit-Bits.
Fire In Wool Ships.
The frequency of fires on wool-car-
rying ships within the past two years
has led’ to an Investigation by a New
Zealand royal commission, whose re-
port, recently published, indicates that
spontaneous eccmbustlon Is respon-
sible for the mischief. Experiments
fin an Australian factory showed that
while the surface temperature of a
heap of wool was only 87 degrees, at
adepthof3 feet the temperature was
660 degrees, and the mass was char-
red and smoldering. The cause of
the heat Is ascribed to the presence
of 4 great amount of tallow, which
readily’ oxidize The experiments in-
dicated that wool containing only or-
dinary wool fat, with no ‘tallow from
the fat of the animal, is not subject
to\spontaneous combustion.
