VOL. XXIV. Sometimes the Party Was Able to Make Only 600 Yards a Day-Most Remarkable Dash Ever Made. London, England.—The polar regions are gradually yielding up their secrets to human perseverance and determination, Leutenant Ernest H. Shackleton of the British navy, who left his permanent quarters last autumn for a dash to the pole, having succeeded after an arduous sledge journey of 1,708 miles, which occupied 126 days, in forging to within 111 miles of the south pole, or 354 miles nearer than the point attained by the "Discovery Expedition," of which he was an officer. As the expedition to the south was undertaken rather for the purpose of geographical survey than with the idea of reaching the pole itself, it may be said to have succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Profiling by former experiences in the antarctic regions when all the dogs succumbed to the strain and rigors of the climate, Lieutenant Shackleton made some departure from the usual preparations for a journey across the snow and ice. She took with him a motor car which could be converted into a sledge and substituted ponies for dogs and light woolen clothing for heavy fur. The main expedition of which Lieutenant Shackleton command, received latitude 88.22, longitude 162 cast, with a second party pushed forward to the southern magnetic pole, reaching latitude 72.25, longitude 154 each. The British flag was left flying, at both points. Briefly summarized, the results of the expedition are that a point was reached within 111 miles of the south pole; the magnetic pole was also reached; eight mountain chains were discovered, and 100 mountains, Mt. Erebus, 13,120 feet in altitude, was ascended by the party; the mountain were located west from Victoria Land, and the theory of the existence of an area of atmospheric calm around the south pole was disproved. ROOSEVELT SAILS FOR AFRICA. Hundreds at the Pier to Bid Rosewelt "Godspeed" as He Boarded Ship. welt "Godsppeed" as He Boarded Ship. New York City.—Waving a hearty farewell, with his black slouch hat, his smiling face beaming in the morning sun as he stood on the captain's bridge of the steamship Hamburg, ex-President Theodore Roosevelt sailed for his long-planned "heart" ship that warmed the Hamburg-American line pier, the whistles of countless river craft, and the thunderous reverberations of the ex-president's salute of thirteen guns from Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth. Beside the happy figure of the former chief magistrate, as the big steamship slipped out of her dock, stood a young lad, seemingly dejected as he wistfully gazed at the cheering multitude on the pier below. It was Kermit Roosevelt, who accompanied his father as official photographer, Father and son, both cleverly coats, remained on the bride on the trip down the bay, and acknowledged, with sweeps of their hats, the salutes of the vessels. The ovation was unofficial in character, but many high in the affairs of the nation were present. The crowd, in its enthusiasm, bowled over the lines of policemen on the pier, surrounded the former president, while he was being presented a bronze table by the Italian American chamber of commerce, and before he was again safely back on the sheltering gang plank, knocked his hat from his head and caused him to drop a vacuum bottle, which had been presented by some admiring Pittsburgh friends. Fortunately, Mr. Roosevelt was not hurt in the rush, and he seemed to enjoy his experience with the crowd. One incident of the departure which touched Mr. Roosevelt probably more than any other was the presentation of a message and gift from President Taft, by Captain Archibald Butt, who was chief military aide to Mr. Roosevelt, and who occupies that position under President Taft. It is a collapsible ruler, twelve inches long, when drawn out of the end of the pencil. On it it is inscribed: "To Theodore Roosevelt, from William Howard Taft. Goodbye and good luck. Best wishes for a safe return." One of the last acts of Mr. Roosevelt before sailing was to message to President Taft, reading: "Parting love and sincerity." With Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit on the Smithsonian hunting expedition are Major E. A. Mearns of the Medical Corps, U. S. A., and J. Loring Allen and Edmund Heelr, naturalists, who will seek specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. SIX AERONANTS ESCAPE DEATH. Men Who Ascended in Alrship Found Near Mount Wilson, Unharmed. Los Angeles, Cal.-After one of the most harrowing experiences in the history of ballooning, Captain A. E. Mueller and five companions, who ascended in the balloon America at Pascagoula, landed in the Sierra Madre Mountains and arrived on foot at Switzer's camp, near Mount Wilson, unharmed. Many searchers had been scouring the mountains for the aeronauts. The aeronauts suffered extremely from the cold in their wanders, and were greatly in need of food and rest, when they finally reached a ranch house and received aid. The Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. MARITINE WAR LAWS Adopted as Result of Conference of Ten Leading Nations. Washington, D. C.—The declaration of principles regarding the law of maritime war, agreed upon by the conference of ten of the principal maritime nations of the world, held in London during the past winter, and known as the Maritime Conference, have just been made-public at the state department. Probably the most interesting features from the American standpoint, are the declarations regarding what constitutes contraband, and what is free of contraband. The principle enunciated in the declaration are to act as a guide for the government of international prize court, to be established at The Hague. They are regarded as of great importance, and mark a decided step forward in the establishment of a code for naval warfare. The American delegates, as previously reported, are satisfied the code contains much that will prove of great advantage in time of war. This is especially the case with the articles treating of contraband, exports approximating at this time $900,000,000 a year, will be affected in the event of war, and under the head of free contraband exports' approximating $400,000,000. On the question of contraband the conference adopted three classifications, viz.: Absolutely, conditional and not contraband. Absolute contraband includes generally articles and implements of war, and those that may be used in war. Conditional contraband includes food supplies, fodder and grain, clothing suitable for military use; gold and silver, coloned and in bars, and paper representing money; airships and flying machines; fuel, lubricants, powders and explosives not specially designed for war use; barbed wire; horse shoes and shoeing outfits. The following articles cannot be declared contraband of war: Raw cotton, raw wool, silk, jute, flax and hemp and other raw materials of textile industries, as well as fabrics woven therefrom; oleaginous nuts and seeds; copra; india rubber; resins, gums and lac; hops; raw hides, horns, bone and ivory; natural and artificial fertilizers, comprising nitrates and phosphates susceptible of use in agriculture; ores, earths, clays, lime, chalk and stone, including marble, brick, slate an dille; chinaware and glassware; paper and substances intended solely for their production; and varnishes, hypochlorite of lime; soda ash, caustic soda, phosphate of lime; soda ash, caustic soda, sulphate of ammonia and sulphat of copper; machinery used in manufacture; textile industries and printing; precious stones, fine stones, mother of pearl, pearls and coral; clocks and watches, except chronometers. Articel 47 provides that any person belonging to the armed forces of the enemy and found on board a neutral war vessel may be made a prisoner of war, even though there be no ground, for seizing the vessel. This principle conforms to the attitude taken by the United States in the famous Mason and Slidell cases during the civil war. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS Governor Hughes of New York refused to interfere in the case of Mafy Farmer, sentenced to die in the electric chair at Auburn for the murder of Mrs. Sarah Brennan at Watertown, on April 23 last. The gastroinometer Galliott announced to the French academy of science that he had discovered two new planets situated beyond Neptune, which is the outermost known planet of the solar system. Fifty Catholic priests of the Archdiocese of Baltimore met and decided to make personal contributions to assist Cardinal Gibbons in raising $130,000 to pay the debt of the Roy'Caspier P. Elbert. The American Order of Hibernians has contributed $1,000, and collections will be taken up at the cathedral and all the Catholic churches to help swell the fund. To popularize red hair is the object of the "Titan Club," which is being formed by Mme De Parrot of Paris. This lady is now in London delivering a series of lectures to society women on "Famous Love Stories." Membership of the Titan society will be limited to red-haired girls, whose objects will be to "promote amblability, chivalry, and good fellowship," as well as to make red hair popular. The earthquake-proof building built by Professor Boermel of Berlin rests in a massive bowl, and has a rocking foundation with a curved surface or somewhat less radius than that of the boy. A half spherical pivot fits into a cup bearing at the center. At eight points near the outside of the bowl are spring buffers, which keep the house or other building from being canted too freely and lessen the force of any shock transmitted. The structure on this foundation is to have a light steel framework, and is expected to resist the severest earth- Several Munice, Ind., boys, whose ages range from 10 to 14 years, are in charge of the probation officer and their parents because they emulated highwaymen.

Dallas, Texas—Twelve known dead, property losses, reaching into the thousands of dollars and possibly a score injured, is the result of a torn- ow which swept over the northeastern part of Wise county. Several small towns were visited by the storm, but none were entirely destroyed, although each suffered serious damage. The general course of the tornado seems to have been from the west to the southeastern part at Crutton. In the northeastern part of the county, it passed to the north of Decatur, the county seat of Wise county, and then struck several small settlements, of which Slidell is the center. From here the tornado appears to have turned southeast, continuing its course without doing further serious damage. The greatest loss of life occurred in the country districts. The destruction of one farm house alone caused the death of eight persons. This single tragedy or the storm occurred near Sidell. The farm house of Ira Hice was crushed in by the furious wind and the family of eight members plumed beneath the wreckage. A light in the house at the time of the disaster caused the ruins to become ignited, and, fanned by the strong wind, the flames snuffed out the lives of the helpless victims. The towns of Sanger and Greenwood were hit and a number of the houses were moved from their foundations. The Good View school house near Sanger was wrecked. In this vicinity Ben Wilson and Glasgow Clark, farmers, and two children of a hero tenant were killed. At Crafton every business house save one was blown down. The Methodist and Baptist churches were completely wrecked. At Dan, also in Wise county, near Slidell, two houses were destroyed. The Christian church at Greenwood was destroyed. Several residences and two churches were blown down at Brumlow. This town is located near Slidell, which appeared to be the storm center. Heavy sand storms were reported at Dublin, Gainesville and other points in that vicinity. Fences, small buildings- and windmills were razed by the storm in the outlying districts. SOUTH WANTS PATRONAGE Congress Asked to Cut Diplomatic "Pie" for Cotton States. Washington, D. C. — The cotton states want some of the patronage "pie," and want it badly. Representative Hull of Tennessee introduced a resolution in the house calling on the secretary of state, if not incompatible with the public interest, to inform the congress whether the cotton states are being deprived of representation in the diplomatic and consular service in the cotton purchasing countries. If so, Mr. Hull wants the secretary to transmit any facts or information that might be suggestive of a remedy for this condition of affairs. In the preamble to the resolution, Mr. Hull asserts that Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia now have smaller-representation in the diplomatic and consular service than they have had at any time in the history of the government. He points out that the states he names annually insure the balance of trade in favor of the United States by raising and exporting cotton to the amount of over $435,000,000 in income. He argues that they have not a single representative in any position of responsibility in the diplomatic and consular service. SAID TAET WAS TO RESIGN. Woman Also Says Pontius Pilate Became Theodore Roosevelt, Chicago, Ill.,—Miss Nina A. Pattee, a school teacher, 30 years old, is under arrest by the federal authorities, charged with sending objectionable letters through the mails. She was sent to the detention hospital for examination. It is alleged that she wrote to the governor of each state, saying that President Taft was 'to resign, and that he, with ex-President Roosevelt, was to come to Chicago to be "ordained." In letters addressed to prominent clergymen she wrote; *Pontius Pilate became Theodore Roosvelt.* "Abel was Ethan Allen and is now George Cortelyou. "David lived 1,000 times. David is now. John D. Rockefeller. "William J. Bryan was once Ezra and later became Andrew Jackson." "OUT OF HELL INTO EDEN." Rabbi Advises Young Men to Get Out City and Go to Country. Chicago, Ill.—"Out of Hell! Back to Eden!" That is the exhortation given by man of the Chicago Hebrew Institute by Rabbi Isaac Landman, who declares, that Hell is the city and Eden the farm. "In Eden," says Mr. Landman, "there is always work to do. There is beauty for the eye and joy for the ear. There is health and riches, too, for him who employs' his muscle for making the earth give up the blessings hidden there. The excuse that nineteen centuries of Christian tolerance have unified Jews for the pursuit of agriculture is now invalid." INCREASES COST OF LIVING in Report on New Tariff Bill. Washington, D. C.-Champ Clark, the minority leader, was asked what attitude he would take with regard to the duty on lumber, and he replied that he would develop that in his coming speech in the house. Mr. Clark's alleged position on this schedule has been vigorously criticised by democrats from Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee, each of which states has large interests in lumber. That the Payne tariff bill increases the cost of living; that it is crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive, and that it is an open challenge to a trade war with every other nation on earth, are some of the criticisms of that measure made by the democratic members of the ways and means committee in the minority report submitted to the house by Minority Leader Champ Clark. Declaring that a tariff is a tax paid by the consumer, and that the only function of a tariff law is to raise revenue to supply the needs of the government, the minority members of the committee insist that, instead of an increase of taxes or a new issue of bounties, the government should growing deficiency in the revenues is the cutting down of the expenses of running the government "The bill is, in many respects, crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive. It seems to us, from our examination, which, was necessarily hasty, that, on the whole, it increases the cost of living. The claim that the bill is a sectional one, made by the democratic members of the committee, is based largely on the cotton schedule. The report contends that the bill does not lift any burdens from the shoulders of the southern farmer, although the manufacturer of cotton goods is protected by heavy tax, it claims. "The treatment of the farmer' by this bill is along the same lines as have characterized republican methods in the past," says the report. "He gets practically no relief, and the laborer and producer have greater burdens imposed upon them. Every article of food the laborer must have to live comfortably is heavily taxed; even the salt on his table is not exempt. That the bill is a sectional one is shown by the failure of the majority of the committee to lift any burden whatever from the shoulders of the southern farmers. The grower of cotton must sell his product in the open markets of the world. In order, however, to benefit the manufacturer of cotton, the republican party makes him pay a heavy tax on every pound of it that is exported, and comes back into the United States in the shape of manufactured goods. Thus he sells in free trade market and buys in a protected market. Not only have these burdens not been lifted, but additional ones have been placed upon him. By a lately discovered process a fabric known as "mercerized fabrics" is now being made. This is a very fine article of cotton goods, looking very much like silk, and is largely worn. In order to further enrich the manufacturer and to further tax the masses of the people, a tax has been laid on these goods. Cotton hose has fallen under their greedy gaze, and the tax on it, already too high, has been greatly increased. Cotton goods are more generally used than any other class of goods, the most people, and every cent of duty laid on such fabrics is an additional tax on the people least able to pay it. REPLICA OF CLEREMONT. Contract Let for the Facsimile of Fulton's Steamboat. New York City.—The officers of the Hudson-Fulton celebration commission have let the contract for building the replica of Robert Fulton's Clement Island, New Island Ship-building Company.

To convey these two little vessels there will be fleets of American and foreign warships, great river craft and ocean steamships that have evolved from Fulton's awkward little steamboat. Free Trade In Pistols. Chicago, ill.—"Revolvers sold without permits" is the sign conspicuously displayed in various stores as a result of a truce between the city and firearm dealers.

Johnston Myers' psychotherapeutic class in his last lecture, informs his students that trauma is the most important notions, do-not land in the heart, but in the solar plexus. No Objection to Davis' Picture. Washington, D. C.—it is believed that no official objection would be made if the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi, by the people of the state for which it will be named, should bear the likeness or the name of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the confederacy. KIDNAPERS RETURN BOY Had $9,790 in Their Possession and Confessed That They Had Stolen the Child. Harrisburg, Pa.—Governor Stuart has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of $15,000 for the arrest and conviction of the kidnapers of Willie Whitla. Cleveland, Ohio. — Little Willie Whitla, who has caused the police of the entire country endless worry since he was kidnapped from school in Sharon, Pa., a week ago, was returned to his rater at the Honenden hotel here. Mr. Whitla admitted that he had paid $10,000 to the woman in a candy store, who acted for the kidnapers. It was in currency and bills. The woman did not count the money. Mr. Whitla believes the woman was an Italian, but refuses to disclose her identity. ```markdown ``` Cleveland, Ohio.—In the arrest, here later of a man and a woman having $9,790 in their possession, the police believe they have captured the kidnappers of Willie Whitla. In fact, the woman in the case, who is greatly excited, admitted that she had been responsible for the kidnapping. When placed in custody at the central police station, she said to Captain Shatuck: "I am the one who planned the whole thing. There will be trouble for me, and hell in Sharon tomorrow." Beneath the woman's skirt was found $9,790. All of it but $40 was bound in packages, with the original slips placed on the money when Whitla took it from the bank, still around it. ```markdown ``` In compliance with an arrangement entered into between the kidnapped boy's father and an agent of the kidnappers here, the boy was placed on a street car on the outskirts of the city and sent to the hotel. The moment the anxious parent heard that a strange boy was in the hotel, he rushed across the lobby, grasped him in his arms and smothered his faces with kisses. Willie is in perfect health. He says that he has been well treated, and ever since his capture he has been constantly indoors. He believes he was taken from Sharon to Warren and thence to Newcastle, Pa. It is his opinion, expressed in a happy schoolboy way, that he was in A仕tabula at the time his father was to leave his $10,000 in Flat Iron Park. Whitla, senior, said that he received a letter from the kidnappers at his home in Sharon, saying that if he called at a confectionary store in the cast end of Cleveland, he would be told how to secure his boy unharmed and "well fed." He at once left Sharon for Cleveland. He was unaccompanied. Whitla was certain that if he spoiled the plans of his son's captors he would never see the lad again. His experience at Ashtabula served as a warning. He went to a candy store in the east end of Cleveland. With him he carried $10,000, expecting that it would be demanded of him there. He was met by a woman, who detailed to him the terms of the hikemap. With all the eagerness of a distracted parent, Whitla agreed to them immediately and paid the money. Half an hour later he returned to the Hollenden Hotel and awaited developments. Fully 2,000 people gathered in the hallways and lobbies of the hotel. Those who were unable to get into the hotel stood on the sidewalks and shouted for a glimpse of the boy. Again and again they called his name and implored his father to bring him out and let them look at him. Whita acquiesced to the request of the crowd, and carrying his boy on his shoulder, walked down into the lobby. Cries of "Speech! "Speech!" caused Whita to say a few words. "This is my son. He was lost and is found again. If I live a thousand years I never can do enough to repay the press, the police and the people who all have done noble work in helping to and my boy and in extending their help to me and my family and relatives." Sharon, Pa.-Willie Whita does not yet seem to comprehend what he and his parents have been through. He was out playing with his little friends. He rode a bicycle, played marbles and assisted in flying a kite. He is the object of the childish envy of every boy in Sharon. Bee's Sting Cures Rheumatism. New York City.—The stings from the plain or garden variety of honey bee are being used successfully at Roosevelt Hospital for the treatment of rheumatism. Doctors Swan and Meyer experiments, after taking the legend of his boyhood days that a bee sting was a preventive of rheumatism. $80,000,000 Bond Issue. Philadelphia, Pa.—At the adjourned session of the Pennsylvania Railroad held here resolutions empowering the board of directors, in its discretion, to increase the bonded indebtedness of the company to the extent of $50,000,000, was ratified.

War on the Standard Oil company by independent dealers at Berlin, who complain because the American company is distributing oil direct to be treated twice, two quart cans, is threatened. It is the standard offered certain concessions which did not satisfy the wholesalers, who are urging the public to cease purchasing American oil. It is learned from one of ex-President of Venezuela Castro's friends that he has only about $75,000 in Europe, and that the stories of immense sums being sent out to him from Venezuela are pure fiction. Castro arranged for a credit of $100,000 with the Deutsche bank of Berlin which was later supplemented by drafts on the Bank of Venezuela for about $50,000 more. Twenty-eight minutes spent in a New Orleans dentist's chair in an effort to have a refractory tooth extracted was the basis of a $10,000 damage suit that has been filed in that city by Antonia P.

Wobster of Chicago, president of the Illinois state board of health. His subject was "Alcohol and Public Health." Dr. Wobster drew the following conclusions: That the alcohol problem is more important than the tuberculosis problem, because it causes the loss of more lives and more money. "Traffic in alcohol costs the United States in direct money loss more than $2,000,000,000 a year," said the speaker. "It causes directly or indirectly, at least 10 per cent of all the deaths in the country."

The following impressive discourse was delivered in the Metropolitan Temple (M. E.) by the pastor, the Rev. John Wesley Hill, who is by tar at present the most progressive of New York's preachers. The subject of the sermon was "The Kingship of Patience," and the text, Revelation 1:9: "L. John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ." Mr. Hill said: Patience does not appeal to us as a regal quality. Why should a king wait? Having power to accomplish at once, why should he bear with the dulness and obdurateness of his subjects? Commanding swift agencies, why should he delay their execution? And right here we encounter a seeming contradiction; our text introduces a divine interpretation. It teaches that kingship is not divorced from patience, but bound up with it; that the divine kingdom is inherited through patience; and that spiritual sovereignty is acquired not by a single bound, but through the long, plodding pilgrimage which patience alone can make. This is a truth which permeates the entire spiritual economy, finding its supreme exemplification in the being and nature of God. Christianity is solitary in its revelation of patience as a quality of God. No pagan god was ever crowned with this virtue. The coarse mind of man never evolved a gentle deity. The gods of human genius are great in impatience, force and resentment. This conception of impatience as the preregative of delity is not only at the root of the grotesque forms of paganism, but it is responsible for many of the false and monstrous views of God that have found their way into the so-called "Christian theology." When the theologians paint pictures of God that stamp Him with remorseless absolutism; when they say that God must be just and may be merciful, and set themselves to parceling out the divine nature into sections, tracing the boundary lines with the perfect precision, and then setting wickets to the last love should encoach upon truth and mercy supplant justice; then they forget all the great moral qualities are duly proportioned in the divine nature; that they include each other in a way that defies triangulation; and that patience is the guardian of them all. When the sculptor's vision discloses the angel in the block, he is not discouraged by hardiness in the stone nor defect in the grain. He is bent on actualizing his ideal. The greater the difficulties, the more his patience is called into play. Add dare we think of God as conceiving a purpose less sharply or bringing it to perfection with less patience? We fall into bitter, suspicious, mis-anthropic frames of mind over the high-handed insolence of demagoguism, over social laxity and licentiousness, over fraud and graft and godless luxury; and because things are crooked, we would hew them to the line of our thinking, lay the scorpion scourge on the back of conservatism, condemn all who are not willing to march to our music; yea, we are tempted to doubt the divine goodness, because God does not arise in His might, destroy sin, and usher him out of the world. God volts. He stands in the midst of the passing centuries with outstretched hands of entreaty. No other attitude would be consonant with His character. Self-existent and eternal, without beginning or ending, He cannot take account of time. Time is an element that does not enter into His being. Perfection is the mould in which the divine ideals are cast; the amount of time is not nothing. It is not a question of calendar of events, but of probability, prob- duces itself to perfection. That the infinite goal toward which all things in the universe, seen and unseen, are silently, slowly, and patiently moving—the goal of a redeemed, perfected and glorified humanity. From this viewpoint, we begin to understand that there is a divine philosophy in the expression, the "kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ." In it is hidden the mystery of redemption; above it is lifted the blood-stained cross; upon the cross hangs an innocent Victim, an infinite Sacrifice, vicarious and saving, God's great love argument to the world. Time, Providence and Calvary are the forces that conquer the soul, and therefore God watts to give them a chance, waits for us to weary of our rebellion, waits for the fever of our soul, waits for the blood of passion to run out, waits with infinite patience for us to return, demanding no more than obedience, and asking only the homage of our hearts; and then He embraces us in the rapture of long delayed reconciliation. Standing thus before Calvary, and gazing into the tranquil face of Jesus Christ, we begin to realize what is meant by the patience of Jesus Christ. His patience meant infinitely more than the popular conception of patience; more than the power of physical endurance, more than drifting and dreaming in silence. The patience of Jesus Christ is a constructive force; it inspires a desperate, persistent struggle for spiritual manhood. It is a power which makes a kingly man and not a stoical petrification, insensible to "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Now, there can be no kingship in the absence of patience. Protracted discipline is the condition of exalted character. It is thus that man wins himself from the wrecking forces of life; thus that he learns the truth and feels the power of Christ's immortal maxim, "In your patience ye shall possess (win) your souls." It was thus that John, the author of our text, wen self-mastery. Think of it. The man who in the early stage of his Christian life desired that he and his brother James might sit on the right hand and, on the left hand in the kingdom of Christ; the man of dignity and of ambition; the man who in his unbridled rage wanted to call, fire down from heaven upon the inhuspitable *Samantha*; *The man of pride*, and *resentment*; that, man, chastened, subdued and exalted, desplised by the world, persecuted, exiled and everything but martyrned, sits down in the lonely solitude of that volcanic clinder called Patmos, and writes familiarly and joyingly about the "tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ." What brought about the change? Patience was the stern and rugged schoolmaster that led him from pride and arrogance and self-assertion to the heights of a spiritual manhood sweet and tender and fraternal; a state of repose and vision enriched by the gain of loss, and filled with the joy of tribulation; a kingdom in which he became a partaker of suffering with every other sufferer, and could sign himself with kingly courtesy, "I, John, your brother in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ." Not-only does patience thus enoble and exalt character, but it imparts to life its only true and abiding perspective. An art student once said to Tiltian, "I saw it in a moment." "Oh, you did!" replied the great master; "it took me twenty years to see it." You cannot stand before a work of art, every square inch, every color, every shade of which has been transfigured by toll and tears, and gattier its wealth of meaning in a few seconds. You must stand there, sit there, surrender yourself to the theme, until you feel like the pilgrim before Reubens' "Descent From the Cross," who forgot time and comfort and place, and after standing from morning until evening and being reminded that the time to depart had arrived, exclaimed, "Wait a moment, until they get Him down!" Such is the patience which brings to light the hidden things of God, discloses the divine intent in the workings of time and helps you to hear what the turtles say against the hours, and thus find deliverance from the "tyranny of the instant." It is this spirit of what has been called "immediateness" that becomes our greatest peril. We become impatient in awaiting results. It is the child who to-morrow digs up the seed he planted yesterday, to see whether it is growing or not; and in this respect, many of us are children of a larger growth. The effect of this impatience is disastrous in many ways. It produces a distortion of vision, substitutes a segment of life's circle for the whole, measures providence by a few years of happiness, and weighs the interests of time against eternity. "How can these things be?" we often ask. What things? The woes of broken health, the agonies by which human bodies are tortured for many years, the wrongs of orphanage, pestilence, fire, flood, famine and earthquake. How can a merciful God permit such severities? Patience coges to the rescue, and becomes the interpreter of Providence, explains that they are parts of the "all things" that "work together for good," fomentations to soften the calloused hands to blow to break the hardened will, lighten to flash to purify the atmosphere, millstones grinding the hard grain, furnaces refining the gross ore, grim schoolmasters teaching us in God's great night school the lessons of love. O my friends, let us give these teachers the right of way. Better for us to ask ourselves. What new lessons do we need? than all this meaningless talk about accidents, and how they are brought about. Finally, patience means expectancy, and there is rest in that. It is the sense of uncertainty that begets unrest. We all feel the power of a man who can keep still in the storm. His position is supported by the facts, and therefore his argument is final, and he can afford to wait. Power is never boisterous. It has no measure in noise, but rather in silence. That Jesus Christ, standing speechless before Pilate while His accusers rave in the fury of their passion, is the one supreme picture of power in all human history. Calm in the wild excitement of the infuriated mob, serene in the fierce overflow of malignity, with the repose of eternity in His face, His very silence was the most searching speech that ever fell upon a human soul. It crashed down into the conscience of the heathen judge, rang the alarm bell in the camp of his fears, filed his vision with a thousand menacing terrors, and transformed him into a cringing coward. He saw what all the ages since have seen, that this quiet Man who took up no defense, who measured all the wrath of His enemies and understood their worst weapon, and understood in truth that could not be shaken. He saw one in the midst of eternal realities, surrounded by immortal and invisible servants. One who knew that all power was given unto Him, that He needed only to speak and that all the forces of the universe would rush to His defense. This assurance made Him calm and crowned Him as the one solitary King of Patience for all the ages. Oh, let us gaze anew upon that silent, serene, expectant face; catch once more the inspiration of His patient life, and go forth serene in the "assurance of faith" and confident and strong in the expectancy of Jesus Christ, the dawn of whose second, glorious coming, already, throws its gleam of promise across the world's horizon. The Sweetest Incense. "How I wish I had built an altar we built our marble a father, said to him recently. Dr. Norman McLeed tells of one who said the same thing, "I shall never forget the impression made upon me during the first year of my ministry by a mechanic whom I had visited, and on whom I urged the paramount duty of family prayers. One day he entered my study, and burst into tears as he said, 'You remember my girl, sir? She was my only child. She dited suddenly this morning. She has gone, I hope, to God; but if so she can tell Him what now breaks my heart—that she never heard a prayer in her father's house or from father's lips. Oh, that she were with me but for one day more!" There is no fragrance that sweetens a whole house like the incense of prayer. If we want to be builders of the spiritual kingdom our spirits must be purified and refined by the fellowship of the Holy Ghost—Rev. J. H. Jowatt, M. A. ```markdown ``` We play at hide-and-seek, and tag, and many other games. Sometimes I'm having grown folks call, and sit all in a row. While they tell pleasant things about how fast the children grow. My grandma's real, you know, and so they never speak to her. Though once she sat down on the chair that held the minister! It helps the most, pretending, when I wake up in the night. INDOOR GAMES AT MARBLES. INDOOR GAMES AT MARBLES. One or two of the following games of marbles may be known to our readers, but we think they all will be new to a great many boys. The Ten-Block Count-Game. You are to make ten blocks of wood, each about one inch square; upon one side of each you mark the figure 0; on the other sides the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, the 50 being upon the side opposite the 0. The blocks are placed upon the floor or carpet in the form of a half diamond, as shown. The 0 in each case being placed upward, each player rolls four marbles singly at the blocks, the object being to hit as many of them as possible. When done, count the numbers on the upper sides of all the blocks, and replace them for the next player. It is a lively game. Swinging-Block Count-Game. This is but a modification of the block-game just described. A common pin or tack is driven partly into one side of a block, which is connected by a string with a little strip of wood above. Instead of making side-pieces for supports, two chairs can be used, letting the strip rest upon the seat or lower rounds. Each block has the same number upon every side, and is hung so that the bottom is about one-quarter of an inch from the floor. When a marble strikes a block it swings a little and soon is quiet. This says considerable work in replacing overturned blocks. For each block hit tally the number upon it. Three-Arch Discount-Game. This board is as wide and thick as the other, but is only eighteen inches in length. The centre arch is four inches wide, the two small ones three inches each. In playing, each boy rolls from four to ten marbles each, every marble that passes under the centre arch counting forty; if the marble goes through either small, arch twenty is deducted from the count, or, as the boys say, is "counted off" each time. So, if you are not a good shot, it is likely you will lose more than you will gain. In this, or the previous game, if you fail to pop your marble through any arch it is lost. Circle-Game. Mark upon a piece of paper three rings, the largest from eight to fifteen inches in diameter, the other two considerably smaller. Within the rings mark the numbers 10, 20 and 50, as shown. Lay this paper upon the floor and roll your marbles, the object being to have them stop upon the paper and as near the centre as possible, each person to let his remain where they stop until all of his be rolled. Should a marble rest on a line tally for it the number in the largest circle adjoining. The Arched-Board Count-Game. A strip of board, half an inch thick, five inches wide, and twenty-two inches long, has notches cut in one side, two inches wide at the bottom, and tapering as shown. Short bits of board nailed upon each end keep the strip upright. Then it is placed upon the floor within two feet of the wall. Each player is provided with the same number of marbles. (from three to five, or as many as the players wish), and from the opposite side of the room he rolls at the board, the object being to roll through the arches, which have numbers immediately above them in the manner shown. The one making the most counts after rolling all the marbles is entitled to one game. Or, if you have but five or six marbles, each party rolls the whole number by himself, and should there be a tie, between those who make the highest aggregate number they must roll again, the one then having the highest tally winning the game. THE SAUCER PIE. Once upon a time there was a saucer pie. A saucer pie is a pie that is baked in a saucer instead of a pan, and if you have never seen one I hope you will before you are a hundred years old. This pie was baked in a saucer that belonged to a little girl named Polly. Her grandmother had given her the saucer, and it was as blue as the sky. When her mamma took the pie out of the oven and put it on the table to cool she said: "Here is a nice little, brown little pie. Baked in a saucer as blue as the sky." The pie belonged to Polly as well as the saucer. Her mamma had baked it for her because it was her birthday, and she was very proud of it. "Tell me about it again," she said, as she stood on tiptoe by the table to see it. Then her mamma said: "Here is a pie that is dainty and sweet. Baked in a saucer for Polly to eat." But Polly did not want to eat her saucer pie by herself. "I will have a party," she said, and away she went with dancing feet to call her neighbors in. There was Martha, and Margaret and little boy John, and all of them came to Polly's party. When they got there the table was set with Polly's doll dishes, and in the middle of the table was the pie. "A nice little pie, in a saucer blue, Baked in the oven for Polly and you." said mamma, as she cut the pie, once across this way and once across that. Each child had a slice, and then, nibble, nibble— All that was left of the saucer pie, Was a crumb in the saucer as blue as the sky. —Maude Lindsay, in Kindergarten Review. RIDDLES.

In front of his neck he has a white spot, which looks like a white shirt, and little white paws, and the other part is gray. He can sit up like a squirrel and calls "meow," which sounds to us like "ma," because he is very fond of mamma. He sometimes goes away from home for days, and when he comes home he is very glad to see us. And when he catches a mouse he goes into the parlor to eat it. When he was a little kitten about five inches long we had a sick chicken which we had to bring into the house, and Coonle and he would sleep together in a basket under a feather duster that my mother gave to the chicken. When they wrote up they would play and tumble about the floor. They also used to eat and drink together. Now Coonle is a big tom cat, and we have a lot of chickens, but he won't notice any of them.

A simple and yet convenient device that will be found useful in offices has been patented by a Boston Will Not Deface Door. man. This is a letter catcher that can be affixed to the office door and will catch the mail as it is dropped through the slot. The device is a net fastened to a circular rim of metal or wood. Two hooks, shaped something like the letter "S," hold the frame in place on the door, one end of the hooks holding the rim and the other end passing through the letter drop. With this receptacle in position the mail drops into it instead of on the floor, and is in no danger of being torn when the door is opened in the morning, as is sometimes the case where there is a large pile of letters lying in the way. Another advantage of the contrivance is that it can be put up or taken down in an instant, and does not scratch or deface the door in any way. It need not hang in position during the day, if considered unsightly or in the way but can be hooked into place when the owner leaves the office at night. —Philadelphia Record. Improvement in Screws Everybody practically knows how difficult a screw is to drive. As many inventors have been striving for the solution of this vexatious problem as are to-day striving for the solution of aerial navigation. The Patent Office is deluged with screw-drivers intended to grip the head of the screw and hold it firm, quite overlooking the fact that the fault lies with the screw head and slot. A Canadian inventor now brings out the final and greatest of all recent improvements in screws — the recessed head. As shown in the illustration it consists of a square hole in the head of the screw and a square pointed driver which fits tightly into it, allowing the operator to drive a screw easily, safely and accurately in the most difficult places, or even in the dark. It adds much to the ap- pearance of the finished work and is practically indestructible, as driving does not injure the screw in any way. It is claimed that this screw can be driven as rapidly as an ordinary nail. Furniture-manufacturers, electricians and builders will find this screw an improvement over the common screw, eliminating the losses now suffered from the slipping of screwdrivers out of their slots. Birds of a Feather. There is a peculiar romance in summer hotel or boarding house life. Your neighbor may be a princess or a bank clerk. So long as the bills are paid and the two weeks' vacation lasts, all are equally lofty. A writer in the New York Times tells of two persons who had met by chance at Atlantic City. The man was convinced that the girl was a Southerner of high caste, and she imagined him to be a "rich New Yorker." "You are from New York, aren't you?" she abruptly asked, when they had paused for a moment after a stroll along the beach. "Yes," he answered, determined to be honest, "I live in East Sixteenth street, where I have to get along on $10 a week. But you, you are—" "No," she replied coldly, "I live in East Sixteenth street also. I, too, am a clerk." "Anywhere near No. 258?" he faintly asked. "Yes; next door—No. 256!"

Ashe said himself, “between him and me there is simply a’ distinction without a difference.” In my above, mentioned articlo I referred only, to usq Mr R R's Words “to the children who could be in sthool and who are not in school.”. No- body more than I deplores tlie sad fact that in our State ot Georgla there are many children “who woul be in school ‘ut who cannot be in School on account of the fact that there are no, accomoda. tions.” Our country boasts $0 much of the fact that It gives free education to the American toys and girls, whereas in reali-, ty there ate thonsands of them who are, deérived of tat blessing.

New York City—Suppose a parade of the unemployed in Greater New York should start from the Battery to-day. How far up-town do you suppose its van would extend before the last man wheeled into line? The answer touched for by the noted charity labor workers of New York gives Central Park at least unanimously, or a distance of about six miles. Herman Robinson, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor, states that at least forty per cent. of the members of the labor unions in New York City are unemployed. The latest report of the State Department of Labor gives the membership of labor unions in this city as 290,000. The present membership should be well above 310,000, but inability to pay dues has caused more than 40,000 union men to lose their membership cards. According to Mr. Robinson there would then be at least 120,000 union men out of work in New York City. Of homeless men and vagrants the number is, under ordinary conditions, about 30,000. From such meagre facts as may be collected the total number of New York's unemployed is more than 200,000. Imagine such a host—enough to populate a city almost as large as Rochester. That the cause of the astonishing number, out of work at the end of 1908 was not due to strikes or sickness, but rather to the depression of business. It is represented by the following table: | Idle account of | 1908. | 1907. | 1906. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lack of work. | 185,000 | 20,716 | 5,799 | | Sickness, accident, old age | 10,000 | 1,053 | 641 | | Other reasons | 2,000 | 260 | 641 | Never in the history of any great municipality, has such a stupendous army of unemployed been collected at one time, according to the economic statisticians who have compiled the above figures, and others, for the information of the legislators at Albany. The number of families applying for assistance to the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor for the last six months is fifty per cent more than for the corresponding Savings banks in the poorer section of the city report extraordinary drafts in recent months. The actuary of one of the largest insurance companies says: Raise Cash on Policies. "As compared with the season of 1907-1908, the loans for the season of 1908-1909 have increased thus far over seventy per cent., while the number of lapsed policies increased to more than fifty per cent. The above figures speak for themselves, and prove conclusively that the holders of smaller policies are terribly affected by the present hard times." This condition is general among insurance companies. One Company has 2,500,000 Tons Reading Pa. — Figures computed here show that there is sufficient an- thracite coal on the surface to supply the trade for the next eight months, at least. It is said that the Reading Com- pany has at least 2,500,000 tons of coal at its storage yards at Abrams, Landingville and Mahanoy City, and that nearly a million more tons will be added by the end of March. If a strike does not interfere with the Former Warden John M. Fox is authority for the statement that a majority of the men imprisoned in the house probably seven per person—would they have been there could they have found employment. In this connection one magistrate said: "My experience is that there is more distress among the worthy poor now than at any time in the last twelve years. I have committed, chiefly at their own request, more decent then this winter than I have sent there before in any five years of my term as magistrate." Distress Among Women. Mary E. Dreier, president of the Women's Trade' Union League; said: "This year the distress among women workers has been greater than ever before. It is puffful. The savings of years have been exhausted, and to this misfortune is added a woman's constant dread of sickness. Others constantly fear being thrown out of work, and this is too often the case. Manufacturers do not now lay in a large stock which will keep these women busy. They fill orders on short notice. They want fifty girls at once. The girls complete the order in two days, and are then dismissed. This is true in all branches of garment trades. This high tension is making the women of New York physical and nervous wrecks. It is a most deplorable condition of affairs." Frank Julian Warne, whose efforts for a bill now pending in Albany, creating a commission to inquire into the causes and effects of the unemployed in New York State, and to suggest remedies, are meeting with general approbation from qll organizations, said. "We are hoping to be sensational, but as truthful as possible in our limited way of getting accurate figures on present industrial conditions, it is absolutely fair to say that more than 200,000 men are looking for work in New York City alone. Crowded to the Roofs. "Look at any city institution to-day where the indigent get aid. They are crowded to the roofs—the city can't care for more. The hospitals are filled and so are the insane asylums. Where will New York place, her unfortunate in another year if the present ratio of unemployed keeps up? It is a terrible question to face. "When, a city's wardens turn out 2700 prisoners before their terrors have expired to make room for incoming crowds, you may imagine what demands are made on the city's institutions." Professor John Bates, of Columbia University, in suggesting a remedy for the economic ill, says: "Loss of employment by large bodies of men, personally fit is due to maladjustment, since there is never a time when there is not within the limits of society to which these men belong a need of their labor and a chance to dispose of its produce. The trouble would now be relieved by a migration from populous centres to the country." Percy, Alden, M. P., in "The Unemployed," says: "There is a rapidly growing feeling that the community has a responsibility for the unemployed, and must discharge that responsibility, not by, inflicting pains and penalties upon the gentle worker, but by enabling him to find work." Puts Union Above the Law and U. S. Judge Refuses Citizenship Danville, Ill.-U. S. Judge Wright refused naturalization to W. Strong, a member of the United Mine Workers of America. When asked "If it came to the point that the union and the laws of the United States differed which should you follow?" it strong, answered: "The union, of course." Judge Wright says: 'I can never grant the right to any man who follows, the dictates of his trade union rather than the laws of our land.' It's easy enough to recognize the symptoms of poor paint, after it has been on awhile—after its inherent tendency to crack and peel and scale and blister, it has developed, into trouble. You know these paint "diseases" usually indicate adulteration or substitution in the paint materials. And you know the only remedy is repainting. A little knowledge of paint and painting requirements, and how to make sure of the purity and quality of materials, would prevent all trouble, and save the big extra expense of re-painting, just as a proper knowledge of simple health laws, and observance of them, prevents sickness. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Co., 1902 Trinity Blge., New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. A very simple guide in the purchase of white lead (the only sure and safe paint material) is the famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark, that trademark is an absolute guarantee of purity and quality.

The man who worked hard was supposed to require meat, two or three times a day. Science has found out differently. It is now a common thing for the family physician, to order less meat, as in the following letter from a N. Y. man: "I had suffered for years with dyspepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc., but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food. "After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the $500.00 worth of medicine I had taken before." "My wife, and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are a very happy family, largely due to Grape Nuts. "We have been so much benefited by Grape Nuts that it would be ungrateful not to acknowledge it." "Name: Jennifer Postum Co., Battie Creek, Mich. Read: The Road to Wellville, in pigs.

GOOD ROADS Is He to Blame? Will the planter and farmer continue to stand in his own light allowing the country store keeper to dictate to him? Will the planter and the farmer continue inactive regarding the creation and maintenance of good roads because the country store keeper opposes them? It is freely stated all over the country that the greatest enemy of the good roads is the country store keeper, and especially is he the enemy of the good road that leads to the central town or city for the reason that he fears that some of the trade of the farmers or planters may be diverted from him. He is in favor of good roads so long as they lead only to his store, but let them lead to the point where the product of the farm or plantation is to be marketed and he is the enemy that has to be contended with. There is not any doubt but the country store keeper is a power in a way. He is the central point for his section where news is received and disseminated, and his opinions in some sections have more weight than those of any other individual thereabouts. He knows how to combat any project that he does not think for his advantage and the idea is fast gaining ground that he is to a great degree responsible for the backwardness of the country people in improving public property. The only country property the country people have are the roads and drains, and it would appear that it would not be a difficult matter for those to be placed in proper shape and kept in order, but the applications to the county of parish governing bodies for improvements seldom or never concern the roads leading to the centres of population, because the country store keeper is opposed thereto. Such being the case, it would seem reasonable that the merchants of the central town or city should take up the matter of the roads leading into their city and press for their improvement. If the country people will not act in the matter then the city merchant, if he desires the trade from the country, should see that the roads leading into the centre are kept in the very best order. National Road Building. The secretary of the National Good Roads Association in a letter to a New York paper presents in general outline a plan for building good roads by the Federal Government, by the levying of a special road tax. His idea is summarized as followed: First-That if we are to have good roads within a generation the Federal Government must assist in building them. Second—That the government contribution be pro rated among the States as the work is done on the basis of one-half the gross sum upon the full road mileage of the State and one-half upon the basis of population. The plan works out fairly to all the States. This plan would make available out of $400,000,000 approximately $25,000,000 for New York, $26,000,000 for Pennsylvania, $22,000,000 for Illinois, $18,000,000 for Ohio, $13,000,000 for Michigan, etc. Third—That the actual construction of the roads should be done under State supervision upon specifications approved by the United States Government engineers. Fourth—That the initiative should be left with the respective townships, road districts or parishes, these to furnish at least one-third of the total cost, with the State clothed with power to veto any improvement if of insufficient importance. This power would probably be seldom if ever used. It may be assumed if the road was not a main highway and needed the people of a township would not vote to build it when they had to raise at least one-third of the money required to do so. Fifth-That if this country is to fulfill its high destiny and meet the requirements placed upon it by its wealthy position and its opportunity, good roads are a paramount necessity, and to get them speedily requires both Federal and State aid to hearten the people to undertake this great work. Good roads will do more for the education, social and economic development of the whole country than any other single agency. Tarred Roads and the Trees. A good deal of attention has been directed of late to tarring roads to lay the dust and keep it laid. Something must be found to accomplish this purpose or the automobiles will wear out the highways faster than the State can build them. In some piaces tar has been used very satisfactorily and has given good results. Elsewhere, probably in part due to improper methods, it has not worked so acceptably. Not long since reports sent out from Paris said that the use of tar on the roads was killing the trees and bushes at the side. It was asserted that several fine trees on the famous Bols de Boulogue owed their death to this cause and that it was very difficult to maintain the lawns and flowers near the tar-covered thoroughfares. This is an important matter if the fears expressed are well founded.—Utica Press. The Bible is printed in 500 languages.

There are several anecdotes which relate to Robert Fulton's early interest in mechanics—the first steps of progress toward his later skill. In 1773, when he was eight years old, his mother, having previously taught him to read and write, sent him to a school kept by Mr. Caleb Johnson, a Quaker gentleman of pronounced Tory principles—so pronounced, in fact, that he narrowly escaped with his life during the revolution. But Robert Fulton did not care for books, and he began at a early age to search for problems never mastered and bound in print. This greatly distressed the Quaker teacher, who spared not the rod; and it is said that in administering such discipline on the hand of Robert Fulton, he one day testily exclaimed: "There, that will make you do something!" To which Robert, with folded arms, replied: "Sir, I came to have something beaten into my brains, and not into my knuckles." Without doubt he was a trial to his teacher. Ho entered school one day very late, and when the master inquired the reason, Robert, with frank interest, replied that he had been at Nicholas Millier's shop pounding out lead for a pencil. "It is the very best I ever had, sir," he affirmed as he displayed his product. The master, after an examination of the pencil, pronounced it excellent. When Robert's mother, who had been distressed by his lack of application to his studies, expressed to his teacher her pleasure at signs of improvement, the latter confided to her that Robert had said to him: "My head is so full of original notions that there is no vacant chamber to stow away the contents of dusty books." These incidents to the contrary, it is nevertheless true that Robert Fulton did absorb a good knowledge of the rudiments of education.—From "The Early Life of Robert Fulton" in the Century. Farmhouse Antiques. A highly ingenious device for putting on the market "old" furniture, the taking of which is quite a considerable industry in the Western midlands, has been told by a dealer. He had eighty Welsh farmhouses on his books, in each of which he had deposited for the use of the tenant, but also in the hope that holiday people might desire to buy them, "old" dressers and cupboards and tables. The inexperienced hunter for old furniture invariably looks for worm holes. They are provided for him by a judicious peppering with small shot, and lest he should be suspicious and probe for worm dust they are carefully "salted" with fine sand. -Manchester Guardian THE CAUSE.

She became afflicted by playing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several remedies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. G. L.

GH156 Many Georgia Projects Provided For By Congress in River and Harbor Bill Recently Passed. Washington, D. C.-In the closing days of the regular session of congress, the subject of water power development, which is now attracting such widespread interest in the south, came up in connection with the river and harbor bill, and was discussed at length by Senators Bacon of Georgia, Bankhead of Alabama, Smith of Michigan and Frye of Maine. The right of the government to build dams and develop water power, independently of work undertaken to aid the navigability of streams, was called into question, and a vigorous debate, replete with sharp clashes, ensued. As there has been some misapprehension as to the Georgia projects, provided for in the bill as it finally passed, the surveys authorized are given herewith. They are: In Georgia—Sapo bar and harbor; Oceanee, Ocumulgee and Altamaha river; Burgess given with a link to the construction of locks and dams between Macon and Hawkinsville; Big Satilla river from the mouth to Burnt Fort; Savannah river, at Augusta, with a view to determining what improvements are necessary in the interest of navigation; Ogeechee, Ohooee and Cannouchee, rivers. In Georgia and Alabama—Etowah, Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, with a view to their improvement for navigation. Such examination for the improvement of the navigation of said rivers, including the Alabama river in connection therewith, shall include investigations necessary to determine whether storage reservoirs at the headwaters of said rivers can be utilized to advantage, and, if so, what position the cost of any such improvements, should be borne by owners of water power and others. In Georgia and Florida—St. Marys river. Senator Bacon, who has always been friendly to projects looking to the improvement of the navigability of Georgia streams by government appropriation, took a decided position in the debate on the river and harbor bill against the government going into the business of developing and selling water power. Last year he passed through the senate a bill providing for a survey of the Atlantic and Great Western canal, which would include the Coosa, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers. This bill did not pass the house. Senator Bacon states he will introduce that measure at the next session of congress and feels confident of being able to pass it again through the senate and hopes the measure will fare better in the house than it did last session.

He will urge them to have the children in their schools enter this contest and write compositions in accordance with the terms set forth. The prize for which the children are striving is $100 in gold, divided into four prizes, as follows: $50, $25, $15 and $10 for the best four compositions. The subject selected for this com- position contest as "Cotton Seed Products as a Human, Animal and Plant Food." No composition is to be submitted which contains over 750 words. This subject-ifs to be classified as follows: The merits of cotton seed oil and cotton seed compounds as a human food; the great advantages of cattle raising in the south and its possibilities and the importance of cotton seed meal and hulls as an auxiliary thereto; the value of cotton seed meal as a feed for horses and mules and the merits of cotton seed meal as a plan food. The compositions written in each school are to be judged by the principal and the three best from each school sent to the county commissioner not later than April 25th. Each commissioner is then to select the one best from the county and send it to the state judges. CENSUS FOR PENSIONERS State Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsay, Makes Strong Appeal. Atlanta, Ga. State Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsay has prepared a circular letter, which he has maligned to every member of the new legislature, to county officers, to the newspapers all over the state, with the request for publication, and to the camps of confederate veterans (George which he upon them the importance of making a careful and accurate census of the confederate veterans and widows in each county entitled to receive a pension. Commissioner Lindsay shows that this information will be valuable from two standpoints: First, in preventing fraud in the pension rolls, and, second, in indicating to the legislature to just what extent it will have to go in making provision for new pensioners GEORGIA GOLD MINE BOUGHT. Means Opening Up of Big Gold Fields. Canton, Ga.—Colonel Thomas C. Crenshaw has sold the Mary Lee gold mine, better known as the Old Sixias mine, to Judge James Freeborn of New Jersey. The price paid is not known, but it is stated that the new owners will at once install up-to-date mining machinery and put to work a large force of hands. There are several other good mining properties in that section. STATE GLEANINGS. Preparations are being made to give special accommodations to the large number of school and college girls throughout Georgia and this section who will attend the great Southern Music festival at Atlanta next May, the 5th and 6th. From a number of colleges will come parties ranging in number from ten to fifty. Such delegations will be given seats side by side in the same section of the big auditorium. The festival promises to be one of the most important educational events that the south has known, as well as being a rare entertainment. The Augusta flood commission met and abandoned the idea of building an eight-mile levee on the 'ground that it would cost too much. Acting on the suggestion of the commissioner of Public Works Wingfield, they adopted a report which recommends the expenditure of a third of a million dollars for protective measures. The long litigation which has been pending about seven years involving the state's claim for taxes on fifteen thousand shares to the Railway of Alabama owned by the Central of Georgia Railway company, was settled by the payment by the latter company of $225,000 in satisfaction of all claims for taxes against this stock to date. "Whenever I reach any determination (with reference to my future, which in any sense concerns the people of Georgia, I will very, promptly take them into my confidence by public announcement." In addition to being a tacit announcement that he has outlined no definite political course for the future, the foregoing statement, given out by Governor Smith constitutes a very interesting portion of, an emphatic denial of a recent article appearing in the Macon Telegraph to the effect that he "will either be the next governor of Georgia or will name the man who is." The article in question was sent out from Atlanta and quoted the governor or as having said to a friend, "I will either be the next governor of Georgia or will name him. It looks as if not to be a candidate again. Unless all sides join in making Murphy Candler Mr. Brown's successor I will be in the race." The governor classes the interview as a "take" and says that while he can not take time to contradict all newspaper stories about him, he feels called upon to deny the rumor appearing in the Telegraph. A peremptory order was issued by Judge J. T. Pendleton, of the superior court, directing State Treasurer Robert E. Park to deliver to J. L. Riley, appointed as receiver of the Georgia assets of the Southern Insurance company of New Orleans, the $10,000 guarantee deposit, which he has been holding for the protection of the Georgia creditors of the company, Receiver Riley will take charge of the fund, and will administer it ror the benefit of the creditors of the insolvent company in Georgia. Just about the time he was to don baptismal robes and enter the fount of the Second Street Baptist church at Macon, young Charles Miller, aged 23, found himself in the firm clutches at the law. The young man joined the navy about four years ago and then decided the work was too frisky and lett. He came back to Macon and decided to go to church during the services in the water during the time he was preparing to get into the regulation garments worn dring the services in the water, Police Officer Watson surprised him and arrested him in the name or the government for being a deserter President James E. Dickey of Emory college raised $2,000 for the college endowment fund at Montezuma following a sermon he preached R. W. Bishop, patent attorney, reports the following patents granted Georgians: Dental plugger, William Welchselbaum, Savannah; set works for saw mills, H. M. Lotton, Atlanta; rotary engine, A. T. Snodgrass, Thomasville; plow scrape brace, J. P. Martin and A. T. Snodgrass, Salt City; rail fastening J. M. Fountain, East Maston; cotton chopper, J. D. Maddox, Culverton; fifth wheel, J. I. Ray, Bluffton; alarm attachment, A. H. Johnson, Newnan. Reports from various parts of the naval stores belt in Georgia and Florida indicate that the reduction in the cut of boxes this season is far greater than is, generally believed. It is claimed that in many places the cut has not been one-third as great as last year, while in other sections it will not run above one-half as great. The state prison commission has notified the Ben Hill county commissioners that they will get nine negro convicts instead of the six first awarded them, and that they may force to take their prosecution part of the white convicts of the state in case no state farm is found before the first of April. John Galletta is under arrest at Savannah charged with violating the prohibition because the police and ten bottles of wine in his home. He declares that he bought the wine to regale his friends at the coming christening of his infant son. Jesse B. Hart, a well known undertaker of Macon, recently recovered $800 worth of diamonds that Mrs. Hart lost last summer. She had the sparklers in a purse which she lost. The rings were found by John Hunt, who kept them but said nothing of his find. Recently a man named Epps did some work for Hart, and Epps happened to learn of the whereabouts of the gems. He told Hart about it and the diamonds were recovered. The owner was so overjoyed that he let Hunt go. Burglaries entered the grocery store of Loo Yan, a Chinese of Augusta, and took bodily from a place near the front door a small iron safe, containing money y and valuables, to the amount of about $500. It is almost a certainty now that Swainsonboro will have a main line, railroad. The Georgia and Florida railroad, which has a line from that city to Keysville, will no doubt consouthwestern. Railroad at Norman-Southwestern railroad at Normantown, eight miles this side of Vidalia. With this connecting link, which will traverse some of the best country in Georgia, and which will open up almost unlimited resources, the Georgia and Florida railroad will have a direct line from Augusta to Madison, Fla., as they now have trackage rights over the Augusta. GROWING PEANUTS. Arachis hypogaea, the peanut, is an annual plant of the order leguminosae, the order to which peas and beans belong. It is believed to be a native of Brazil, but this belief has a good deal of the nature of a guess, although a number of species are said to be indigenous to that country. It has, however, a footing on all of the five great continents of the world, being found in both torrential and temperate regions, which appears to indicate that it has been in existence for a vast number of years, as it takes a very long time for such a product to become so widely distributed. It has been suggested that the peanut had its origin away back in the remote period when most of the space covered by the Atlantic Ocean was a continent that has been named "Atlantis." This, of course, is merely speculation. The peanut comes to us under several names. It is called in different localities "ground nut." "goober," "earthnut" and "pinder." In foreign lands, where it has numerous alluses, it has made its way into the hearts (and stomachs) of all classes of people, few of whom know that the annual crop in our country amounts to four million bushels of the value of ten million dollars. It has been an important crop since about 1865. The peanut is a peculiar plant. It does not grow on vines or stalks above ground, like the tomato, for example, nor does it cling to the roots of the plant, below the ground, like a potato. It has a way of propagating itself, unlike anything else in the fruit, vegetable or nut line and it seems to be a sort of combination between the three—nut, fruit and vegetable. It resembles a nut in appearance, as almost everybody knows, being in a shell. It also resembles a vegetable, the pea, for it is in a pod, and there are from one to three nuts in the peanut pod. It belongs to the clover family, and gathers nitrogen from the air by means of its roots, like beans and peas. The peanut foliage is greedily eaten by sheen, cows and mules. Ton for ton, it is considered as valuable for hay as good clover. A ton of well cured peanut vines will make as much milk as a ton of the best clover hay. In Georgia, for example, peanuts are planted in May and bloom in June and July, having a beautiful purple flower, not unlike the blossoms of the pea. Immediately after blooming, the plants begin to "peg." as the natives term the process. The peanuts vine runs along on the ground, and at each end of the joints in the running vine a "peg." formation is seen issuing from the points. This "peg" is about as large as a small match, and bends doward from the vine and "pegs." pushes or punches its way into the mellow earth, and the peanuts are formed under the surface of the soil on these little "pegs" or shoots. The peanut's method of propagation is entirely original, and, as has been mentioned, different from that of any other known plant. The soil best adapted for the peanut is a shady loam, light in color, free from vegetable matter, unless it be thoroughly decomposed. Peanut soil is literally as mellow as an ash-heap, and the experienced peanut raiser prepares his earth thoroughly by eliminating every spear of grass and every weed, for peanut culture cannot be markedly successful unless this is done. The seed is first shelled by hand for planting, as machinery-shelled seed is more or less injured in shelling. Two peanuts are planted in each hill, twelve to fourteen inches apart, and the rows are about two and a half feet apart. The planting is done by a one-horse peanut planter, very much like the one-horse corn planter. The seed is planted from two to four inches deep. If the earth is at all weedy or grassy a cultivator is run between the rows, even before the vine has appeared above ground. As soon as the plants are well up the "Hallock" or "Breed" weeder, or some similar implement is run, generally diagonally, across the rows, both ways, for the purpose of keeping the ground very mellow and preventing the growth of grass or weeds. After the peanut blooms the soil must not be disturbed, and before the "pegging" takes place the vines have usually covered all the space between the hills and between the rows In October, before frost, the nuts are plowed out or loosened up by means of specially made plows. After the vines have laid in the sun a few hours to wilt, the workers with pitch-forks lift them with the nuts clinging to them, and they are stacked. Care is taken to turn the nuts inward, so that the vines shelter or cover them. If this is not done the former may become discolored by being exposed to the sun or rain. After a few weeks the workers are sent into the fields to pick the peanuts from the vines, and for doing this they are paid (in Georgia) ten cents per bushel. This is a regular picnic for the hands employed, chiefly colored people. It resembles hop picking time in other parts of the country. If the grower is in need of money the peanuts are taken at once to the nearest peanut cleaning establishment, where he is paid at the rate of two or three cents per pound. If he is in a position to hold his product until later in the season he is almost certain to receive a higher price. The nuts are handled by weight— twenty-two, pounds making a bushel, and a sack holding four bushels. At the cleaning establishments the nuts are carried by elevators to the top of the four-story building, and then begin their journey downward, being cleaned and assorted as they go, until at the bottom they are run into sacks, according to their grade, and the sacks are sewed up. The peanuts are then ready to ship. Peanuts are cleaned by fanning and by abrasion, also by brushing until they look bright, clean and smooth. Finally, they are carried slowly along on endless belts, with the pickers ranged on either side, to remove all small, defective or discolored nuts. By this process, when bagged, they are ready for the trade, having been cleaned, sorted and graded. The prime nuts are all shipped away in the shell to be roasted. The smaller nuts are shelled by machinery and sold to confectioners. Some of the inferior nuts are made into peanut butter and some are used for making oil. The first pressure brings an oil almost equal to that obtained from olives. There is little doubt that, until recently, peanut oil was often mixed with imported olive oil, and the chemist alone could discover the adulteration. The second pressure yields oil that is employed to make soap and lubricants. The hull or shell is said to be utilized for the bedding of animals, but this the writer has not seen. If the hulls are ground with the calce after the oil has been pressed out of them the mixture can be fed to cattle. It is not, however, a first class food, being deficient in fat, as might be expected. Taken as a whole it will be seen that both nut and vine are almost entirely used up by man, little or nothing going to waste. The larger portion of our (American) peanut crop is grown in four counties of Virginia, one of which, Isle of Wight County, leads the world in peanut production. One firm in this county handles about 400,000 sacks annually—something like a million and a quarter bushels. In doing this they send out more than forty carloads of peanuts every week during the greater part of the year! At another point in the peanut section, Suffolk, Va., trains carrying nothing but peanuts are often sent out, but the city of Norfolk handles more of the product than any city in the world. It is believed that fully ten per cent. more peanuts are consumed during the year of a presidential election than in intervening years. What the relation is between presidents, politics and peanuts does not appear to have been determined. As human food peanuts are wholesome and nutritious and inexpensive, but little is definitely known concerning their digestibility. They are apparently more easily digested when eaten with other foods than when eaten alone. Attempts to introduce peanut soups, cakes, etc., into our diet have not proved very successful, and the probability is that peanuts will continue to be used as a luxury or for eating at odd times rather than as a staple article of food. The following analysis of peanut kernels is taken from the International Cyclopaedia: Water, 7.9 protein, 27.2; fat, 45.3; nitrogen free extract, 13.1; crude fibre, 3.9; ash, 2.6—Lawrence Irwell; in Michigan Tradesman. Speed. By J. WARREN MERRILL Mr. Newcar (about to start on his first trip in his recently purchased automobile—to his new chauffeur)—“Now, William, I want it thoroughly understood—I will not have fast driving. Always keep well under the legal limit—not as close to it as you can. Ten miles an hour is fast enough for me. What I want is comfort—not excitement. Do you understand?” Three days later: “Er'er, William, I must be back to the house by 7 o'clock. This road seems very straight and wide. Don't you think you might go just a little faster, without danger?” Two days later: “William, this dust is very unpleasant. If you could pass that car ahead. It seems to be going rather slowly.” Next day: “Put on a little more speed, William. There's no use in being a crank. This road is too good to lose the chance.” A week later: "Open her her, William! There are no police within five miles, I'll bet, and if there are, who cares? 'I'm out for fun!' Let her zip! Let her zip! This is no steam-poller! Let's have some speed!"—Life. The Jews and Thirteen. Commenting on the thirteen superstitions in the Oesterelchishe Wochensnift, Jacob E. Ehrlich, a Jewish writer, says: "The number thirteen is surely not a bad one for us. The Holy Writ tells of the thirteen attributes of the Most High, and we have thirteen feast days in each year. Our great arch enemy, Haman, was hanged on the 13th of Abas. The thirteenth birthday of our sons is a day of joy because on that day the child becomes a member of the religious com. unity. The dream of Joseph was of thirteen—the sun, the moon and eleven stars—and Jacob had thirteen children." Among the Masons. Lodges cannot be too careful in the selection of members. A small number of sturdy brethren is far better than a large number of those of uncertain standing. The latter class does more to ruin Masonry, possibly, than any other living. There is one thing especially that W. M's of lodges should understand, and that is, to have short and interesting meetings if they wish to have a large membership at each communication. Nothing causes a staying away fro mthe lodge rooms more than late meetings. There is no need of prolonging lodge meetings more than one hour unless there is work to be done. Have short meetings, and in a few months you will see that man a brother who is loath to attend, will be finding his way there. Cut out unnecessary talk and debates, and, above all, the W. M. must not consume so much time talking himself, unless he is lecturing the craft. At any rate have short meetings. Next month every lodge is expected to send in its annual report and fees on time. There must be no lagards. Each lodge must do well its part. A record will be kept of the faithful officers, and especially in point of good reports. Keep in mind that we have secured reduced rates for the Grand Lodge communication. Full fare going and one-third returning. Be sure to get a certificate when purchasing ticket. This is given for the information of the lodges in making appropriation for the session. The slogan now is, "every brother to his post," and a full brother's duty is expected of each one. If you love Masonry show it by your action and by your faithfulness not only to the tenets of the order, but to your lodge and to your brother. Eastern Star Work. One is surprised in these days of Eastern Star work to hear of rituals being used by officers in the chapter room for the work. It would seem that the very early custom should have long ago been relegated to the has-beens. No one should accept an office if unable to meet the needs and duties of that office. It does not seem possible for anyone to be unable to memorize the work, and there is no excuse for one not being thoroughly prepared to render the work at the meeting following the installation. Nor should an officer be content to simply say the work, often substituting words for those of the ritual, but meaning essentially the same. The work should be given as written, only giving it life by making it other than lip service. One careless or indifferent officer sadly mars the entire work, and if an officer has not the interest of the work at heart so she will be present at the meetings and on time and give of her best for the work, then the interest of the members will be maintained, the attendance good and general harmony will prevail.—The Eastern Star. ... Do not let us wait to be just or pitiful or demonstrative toward those we love until they or we are struck down by illness or threatened with death. Life is short, and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. O, be swift to love; make haste to be kind—Amiel. --- More Than Form and Ceremony. The symbols, secrets and teaching of Masons were all originally suggested by the practical builders who operated in Masonry, but we of the present day, as speculative Masons, use them as illustrations, symbolical of those great truths which enter into the noblest manhood. "For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; I was sick and yet visited me; Naked, and ye clothed me." These truths are as true today as they day they were first uttered, and are fostered, inculcated and exemplified as fully in Masonry as they are in the Church itself. If Masony were no more than mere forms of ritualistic ceremonies, or social clubs where men might gather to spend a few pleasant hours, the institution would be little more than sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, and the world at large would be as well off were there no such institution. But Masony is far more than form and ceremony. It teaches every one to relieve the suffering; to support a falling brother; to alleviate the distress of the widows and orphans; to build up individual character and to practice charity everywhere and at all times. — Missouri, Joseph S. McIntyre. Late Hours. The Masonic Standard makes a good point, in the following: Prosy speeches, dilatory work and late hours are responsible for most of the stay-aways. Too much fiddle away from, the lodge than any other cause. The Master who is ambitious to succeed must wake up to this important truth, and govern himself accordingly. Bathing for Health and Comfort. That bathing may be overdone and assume the character of a vice is a statement which may surprise the reader, but it is strictly and literally true. Much misleading advice has been given on this subject, and thousands have suffered lasting injury from following it. Cleanliness cannot be carried to excess, but the abuse of the bathtub is easily possible, and when abused, it is an evil of a serious character. That bathing may be an enfeebling self-indulgence was strikingly illustrated during the period of the Roman decadence. The men who led the Roman legions in world conquest were not the glided youths who wasted their strength and sapped their virility in the baths of Dioctleetan. Primarily, soaking the body is not essential to as high a degree of cleanliness as health and comfort demand. Millions of self-respecting people have no opportunity to do this, and zone who may do it prefer other methods of washing. If the bathtub is used at all it should be temperately and discreetly, and no more frequently than experience shows to be consistent with the maximum of physical vigor. For most people twice a week is often enough for immersion bathing, and for some even this is too frequent. The temperature of the bath should be that which gives least discomfort to the bather. As a rule, very warm baths should be taken only when prescribed by a physician of judgment. They are enervating, involve grave risk of resulting colds, and should always be followed by sleep to restore the normal tone of the system. Cold baths are dangerous, and when they shock the system, should be avoided. It does not make them safe or beneficial to find that the circulation can be restored and a comfortable "glory" established by vigorous skin friction with a rough towel. Most of those who discover either pleasure or benefit in this method of bathing are misled and mistake the ability to recover from shock for a healthy and stimulating reaction. There are really a very few persons for whom a conscientious physician would advise cold baths at home or at the seashore more than one a day, and very brief at that. The surf bather who comes out of the water chilled, with blue fingernails and a desire for alcoholic stimulants, had better remain on dry land. Whether in fresh or salt water, the cold bath is not cleansing. The secretions of the skin are not dissolved and removed by cold water, and all the cleansing value of such a bath is in the towel. In most cases the cold bath in winter is a piece of brutal bravado. The person who leaves a warm and comfortable bed to step into a tub of cold water would, perhaps, be a hero if any good and useful purpose was served by his act; as it is, he is merely illustrating the utter futility of self-sacrifice for its own sake. The best temperature of water for bathing or washing is that at which it gives no sense of shock on touching the skin. This means that it should be about blood-heat—between ninety-five and 100 F. This is as true in summer as in winter. Cold water tends to close the pores and suppress natural perspiration, and a cold bath greatly increases the discomfort from high temperatures. The only sane way to "cool off" is to start the perspiration freely. One of the wisest women I know is stout, and when the heat in summer becomes so great that she "cannot stand it another minute" she takes a broom and begins to sweep. This starts the perspiration; a sponge-bath in tepid or warm water refreshes, the skin, and for the remainder of the day she is comfortable. In winter, hot baths are safe only when the bather can go at once to bed and to sleep. At any other time sponging with tepid or warm water is altogether better. Properly used and cared for, the sponge is an admirable agent of cleanliness. It should itself be kept clean and sweet and frequently refreshed in the sun. A sponge which has a gelatinous feeling when wet needs a sun-bath, and should not be used until it has had it. Soap is something to be selected with care. Fortunately, some of the best soaps are the cheapest. Too copious a lather is a danger signal, as it means that the soap has taken up a larger amount of the natural unguent of the skin than can be spared. There is no advantage in a rough towel. A soft, absorbent towel is at once more comfortable and better for the purposes for which a towel is used. To rub the skin to redness is to irritate and abrade it, and this should never be done except with hands and face, which are toughened by exposure to wind and weather. Even with them it is unnecessary. The safest general rule as to bathing is to consider comfort, and not sacrifice it to mistaken standards of cleanliness. The little girl who protested against a perfunctory morning bath and insisted that she had rather be warm and dirty than clean cold invites sympathy.—New York American. Great Actions Endure. He judges well who accepts unpopularity in a great cause. Hatred does not last long, and besides the immediate splendor of great actions, the renown of them endures forever in men's memories. —Pericles. oe Bat =e eS
