New Orleans—An appeal to erect
® monuinent to the former slaves, of
the Souti was issued here from the
headquarters of the United Confeder-
ate’ Veterans by Gen. George W, Gor-
“don, commander-in-chief. of ‘the veter-
ans, The appeal is’ in the form of @
general order, which quotes the reso-
Jutfons favoring such a monument
adopted at the Birmingham yeunfon
an’ 1908, and adds: - »
“Only thosd familiar with the beau-
tiful patriarchal Iife on the Soutaern
plantations previous to 1865 knew of
the devotion of the slaves to thelr
owners and the children of the fam-
fly. ‘They were raised more like
members of a large household, The
children of the owners and of the
slaves associated most intimately to-
gether, aud enjoyed alike the pleas:
ure of the home, all receiving the
care and attention of the heads of
the family, who had a feeling of ter
der affection for those dependents.”
‘The devotion of those slaves quriiig
wartime in caring for..the plantations,
in sharing dangers at the front and
nursing the wounded is noted, and
the order concludes with an appeal
to the U. C. V., the U. D. C, the U.
S. GV. and the C. S. M. A. to see
“that some evidence is given to the
world of their appreciation of the
falthfulnéss and affection of this de

GRAND TRUNK STRIKE ENDS.
Railroad Employees Return to Work
at an Advance in Wages.
Ottawa, Ontario—The strike of the
conductors, trainmen and yardmen,
which began on the Grand Trunk and
Central Vermont system,on July 18,

the men will receive, dating back to
‘May 1, of this year, an advance of ap-
proximately 18 per cent, an@ begin-
ning January 1, 1912, a rate of wages
alightly below the eastern association
scaedule, for-which they struck, but
an advance in many Instances of over
30 per cent.
Much credit for the successful out-
come of tha peace negotiations {s
given to W. T. Mackenzie King, the
minister of labor, who has persisted
in his efforts to bring the men togeth-
er, despite discouraging setbacks. In
the case of the Central Vermont, the
same settlement applies.

ford, surgeon of the Charity hospital

interior pollomyelitis, a newly-dls.
covered infant malady, commonly

ing many decths.
Several such cases are now being
treated in local hospitals. Doctor- Stat-
ford sald that an injury to the spinal
cord was moat Ukely to result in the
ailment and that the “bouncing” of
bables could very easily produce such
sh injury. =

ary hall In the capito: at Washington.

on a purely, legal basis, Mr. Wicker-
sham urges the matter from the eth-
teal point of view, declaring that Leo
has come to be regarded as typifying
all thet was best! {n the cause to which
he gave his services and the moat
loyal and unmurmuring acceptance of
the complete overthrow of that cause.
‘That the state of Virginia should des-
iguate him for that place in Statuary
hall as on illustrious for distingufshed
military service, the Attorney General
declares, is only natural and would
‘be under ‘the reading of the law.

ed forth by protests to the President

rezent her in the Statuary hall of

forth bitter protests irom veterans of
the Northern armies in the Civil war,
especially from various members and
posts of the Grand Army of the Re

= “Race Riots in Texas.
Palestine, Texas—At least eighteen
negroes were Killed ‘in a racial clash
in the extreme eastern section of An-
derson county, the culmination of an
enmity between the races brewing for
several weeks. Several reasons are
assigned as the cause for the racial
fecling. First, the refusal of a’ ne-
grb to pay an obligation for which a
waite farmer stood sponsor. This"was
some days ago. Later, a white man
received notice that he should per-
form road work unde? the supervis-
ion of a negro. The white man re-
fused.

FARMERS ARE THE PREY
_ + OF THE MIDDLEMEN
Member of Country Lite Commis-
sion Gives His Views.
MLS) SHOULD BE_ CORRECTED
‘Law Is Demanded to Check Alleged Rapacity
Sangerfleld, N. ¥.—“The whole peo-
ple are beginning to feel that some
thing must be done to make country
life as” progressive, effective and ‘per-
manently satisfying as city life. We
cannot be a great people if one-aalf
of our society is more highly devel:
oped than the other halt.”
Thus declared Professor L. H. Bal
ley, of the country lifé commission,
appoined > by President Roosevelt
shortly bofore the expiration of his
term, in an address before the San-
gerfield Country club here. Professor
Bailey outlined the program which
he thougt should be followed tn ob-
taining the desired end.
“The so-<alled country Ife move-
ment Is a slowly forming opinion, that
something. really fundamental must
be done to put rural society where It
belongs,” continued Professor Balley.
“To make farming profitable Is no
longer a question merely of raising
more produce. We have passed that
‘point. We now have knowledge and
experience enough to enable us great.
ly to increase our yields, it only we
put the knowledge Into pfactice. ©
“But the farmer, speaking broadly.
doeg not get his share of the proceeds
of his labor, notwithstanding the in.
crease in the price of farm products.”
After stating that he recognized
the service of the middleman to so-
ciety, although he said there is hard:
ship and injustice to the producer fn
niuch of the present system, the
speaker declared that we are under
obligatjon as public men to see that
thesg discriminations are ramoved.
“The middleman question,” he con
tinued; “cannot be solved by any com.
bination 6f farmers, because it is no!
an agricultural question. It is as
as much a problem for consumers a
for producers. But the abuses must
be checked and the middleman must
be brought under: some means of con:
trol.”
Professor Bailey then declared that
sit is just az much the business ol
the government to protect its people
from the rapacity’of dishonest and
tyrannous middlemen as from other
abuses.”” :
‘The speaker thon declared “the
present agitation ought to compel
Congress té pass a law to correct the
evils and the organizations then
should keep such touch on the situa
tlon that the laws will be enforced.
“But the enactment of a law, even
a good law, is only another step in
the solution. There are three step:
in the control of the middleman: (1)
An aroused public conscience on the
aAuestion; (2) a good fundamental lan
for interstate phases and similai
state laws for local phases; (3) good
commissions or other bodies to which
any-producer or any consumer or any
midditman- may take “his case.”
STANDARDIZATION SYSTEM.
Supplying Exchanges With Cotton
Samples WII! Soon Begin.
Washington—The system of stand-
ardization of cotton devised by the
Department of Agriculture probably.
will be in very general operation In
all cotton exchanges by September 1.
Tae bureau of plant industry of the
department, which daily is sending
out sets of samples of various grades
of cotton that have been selected as
standards, expects that before the end
of the present month the exchanges
will be supplied sufficiently to permit
transactfons to be made upon the ba-
sis of the proposed standards.
While there ts no legal power for
the enforcement. of these new stand-
ards on the cotton exchanges, s0
many approving reports of tho sys-
tem dave been recelved that it is be-
Meved there will be no opposition to
making the system ‘universal.
Governor Patterson Aseautied.
‘Winchester, Tenn—CGovernor Pat-
terson was assaulted here and so bad-
Jy injured he was unable to deliver hls
scheduled speech. It is claimed taat
the two men who assaulted the gov-
ernor were his friends and supporters

warm welcome, Governor Patterson
was grasped from behind when he
alighted from a train. One man threw
hig arms aroutid Governor Patterson's
neck, while the second dealth aim o
blow in tie back, which knocked the
breath out of him. He was unable

CONDITION OF COTTON.
Reterioration In Texas and Oklahoma,
But Improvement Etsewhere.
. Memphis, Tenn—The Commercial-
Appeal publishes this summary of the
cotton crop altuation:
‘The cotton crop deterlorated during
the week’ in Tetas and Oklahoma by
reasoa of drouth, but improved else
wheré on en ‘absence ofrain. ¥
‘The situation in Texas and Oxla-
homa fs fast becoming serious, some
shedding being reported in the driest
places.
Temperatures .were very high ‘at
most timés, which’ makes the lack of
moisture more acute. A good rain
immediately would help the crop won-
derfully, but its growth and fruiting
have Already been harvested.
‘The Welds east of the Mississippi
rivers are now nearly clean, and the
cotton will be “laid by” in a fairly
good state of cultivation. The process
of cleanlag some of them ‘aas, how-
ever, been severe, and the plant has
not yet recuperated and drouth con-
tinued for long will work great {n-
jury.
Reports are irregular. There are
some that are indifferent, and’ some
that are exceedingly ppor, The plant
{a generally small, and is now begin-
ning to bloom freely and make bolls.
Without a late autumn reports “indi-
cate a very moderate outturn in the
valley and Atlantic states.
Montgomery, Ala—Dry weather
has been the salvation of the Alabama
cotton crop. However, prospects are
not as bright as they +were several
weekd ago, and the coticensus of opin-
fon points to a crop 75 per cent of
normal, if weather conditions remain
favorable, Much of the abandoned
land has been claimed from the
grazs. Reports of the condition of the
stalk and-fruit vary, although many
of them say both are small, In most
sections the crop will be three weeks
late. o

The rally for the Haven academy was good. Our mission work, under District Superintendent Giddens is progressing very fine. Twenty-one new places with five prospects for flourishing churches are being developed on the district. The superannuated ministers' cause was well looked after. Our great church is getting ready to care for all of our veteran ministers and their families better in their declining years.

HOW SUMMER CAME TO THE SLOPE.
BY HUGH J. HUGHES.
Chinook winds down, the gulches came singing soft and low. "White flowers of the North Wind, 'tis time for you to go!" And lover-wise he wooed them with many a breath and sigh. Said man, the fire-builder, "Chinook is passing by."
Down many a misty canon the sunbeams danced their way; Before them slink the shadows, behind them swept the day, And past the orient colorings of trees decept and scar. The young Chinook came singing the life-down of the years.
By many a stream torrential, down gulch and canon hurled. The white flowers went to bourgeon the tides that sweep the world; Up to the smoke mesas the coyote climbed to see The sickle of the new moon of the year yet to be.
Beneath the soil frost-girdled the windflower, sleeping, stirred; The mighty cry of living its sentient heart had heard; And through the bunch-grass creeping, came shyly, one by one, The children of the earth-mold—the flowers of the sun.
Came teal, and gray goose honking adown the sloping wind; The wild-rice lakes before them, a thousand miles behind. Far through the misty mornings to the fire-builder's house With breath of sod that quickens came the booming of the grouse.
So came the anc ent summer—the summer ever new— To the gulches, and the mesas, and the fire-builders few Who laughed within their houses—O little race of men! "Chinook is blowing softly; the summer comes again."
JOHN WAKELYN'S WIFE.
Mr. Courtenay Pile alighted from the train at the small station at Littleton March, his handsome face wearing a somewhat troubled expression.
He passed through the booking-office and found an open trap of the type usually to be hired at village inn, awaitting his orders. He had wired for it because his visit was unexpected by those who might have seen that he had a more comfortable reception. It was a mild February day, with a suggestion of spring in the gentle air, soft clouds chasing one another across the dappled sky. The roads were soft and muddy, and Mr. Pile looked critically at the somewhat sorry old crock between the shafts of the village fly and ruefully shook his head.
"How much for the lot, Simon? and how long before we get hauled up to March Manor?"
"Matter o' 'arf an hour, sir," replied Simon, without blinking an eye. "There's more go in that there old crock than you think."
Mr. Pile swung himself up beside the driver, drew the emaciated rug gingerly over his well-cut trousers, and the old crock, laying his ears well back, set off in a weird amble that was half gallop and half trot. "They be gittin' on, sir, up to the Manor," said the driver, inclined for a little friendly talk. "Every day the walls gits a little bit 'igher, so to speak. It'll look tip-top when it's done."
"Is it approved in these parts, then?" inquired Mr. Pile with some interest.
"Oh, yes, sir; they says there won't be anything to touch the new 'ouse in this part o' the country."
"That's good, Simon, and as it should be," remarked Mr. Pile, and relapsed into silence as they began to ascend the road to the downs, which dipped again to the sheltered valley in which the new Manor house of March was being erected for an absentee.
They reached it under thirty minutes, and long before they turned in at the avenue gates the red pile of the masonry was visible between the spaces of the leafless trees.
"You can let me down here, Simon, and go round by the back way to the stables," said Mr. Pile when they were well within the gates; "and I require you to wait there for me. I want to get back to Littleton in time for the three-ten."
The trap stopped. Mr. Pile alighted, and at once cut across the mark in a slanting direction towards the house. Once only he stopped to draw a letter from his pocket and read it through. It was almost unnecessary, because he had already made himself master of the contents, which had angered him greatly.
"Confounded cheek on Wakelyn's part—confounded!" he repeated, drawing out the word with emphasis; "but he's a clinking good servant, and we can't afford to dismiss him at this point. It would create suspicion, which is what we must avoid."
When he reached the new building, which was being erected on the site of the old one, consumed a few months before by one of the most disastrous fires of the century, all the signs of a big undertaking being carried merrily through to its legitimate finish, met his eye. Cranes were at work, to assist the bricklayers, great piles of dry mortar and stacks of bricks covered the short sward, seeming to destroy for a moment the fine old turf in the immediate vicinity; the air was filled with the din of labor being heartily pursued.
A man-high up on the gable wall caught sight of Mr. Pile approaching, and immediately began to descend to the ground. He was a big, slow man, with a somewhat inscrutable face, careless of his dress, but never slovenly; a man whose expression and whole bearing suggested both power and determination. A brief greeting, rather curt on Pile's part, passed between the two men, and Wakelyn waited for his superior to speak further:
"I came on account of the somewhat unusual letter I received from you yesterday, Wakelyn. I started to answer it this morning, but found it difficult; where can we talk?
"In the little office; it is empty at the present. moment," answered Wakelyn imperturbably, and they turned together to the small wooden

shanty that had been erected for the transaction of business which required attention on the spot. It was quite comfortable within and warmed by a small stove which sent out a bright glow. Pile closed the door, and his face hardened as he looked straight at Wakelyn.
"You exceeded your privilege, I think, this time, Wakelyn. I've stood, we've all stood, a good deal from you, but this is the limit. What have you to say for yourself?"
"Nothing more than I put in my letter, sir. I can't stop here and see the work through on the present lines. I don't profess to be a saint, but the stuff that's being put into this house is the limit, if I may borrow your expression. It's dishonest, and all the more so that Lord Trammerne is not here himself to overlook it."
"A fat lot of good he'd be if he were here. So it doesn't come up to specification?"
"No, and you know it; when I complained, the Garrods have as good as told me they're within their rights, according to the orders they've received privately from you and Mr. Gladwyn. I won't be a party to it, that's all, and I'm quite ready to leave at the end of the week. In fact, I've so made up my mind."

Gamblers, like lovers, are known by the company they keep. The only difference between a gambler and a lover is that the gambler usually knows beforehand the extent of the risk he is running. All men are gamblers. Some gamble on the stock exchange, some in dives and some in immorality.
When a man marries he gambles with himself that he will be as happy or more so than if he remained single. 'All around him he sees people losing at the same game. The greater the risk the more fun there is in gambling.
People are continually putting up all their happiness to win or lose on the red and black. There is always a continuous rake-off for the bank.
Rulers and financiers gamble with men chips, some white, some black and some copper colored. When their chips give out they are furnished free with a new pile.
We are all sports; whether we want to be or not. An unknown dealer hands us the cards. Some of us play them in fear and trembling and others recklessly. Some bluff.
But in the end all bluffs are called — Frozen Life.
Mr. Courtenay Plie's face reddened very deeply.
"So it's a very high hand you'll take, Wakelyn? Whence all this new-fangled delicacy of conscience? You've been in the building trade a good many years, and I suppose this isn't the first time you've seen things fall short of specifications. It's done every day; you know that."
"I don't know it, but as I said, I won't be a party to it," replied Wakelyn, with the same quiet, imperturbable air, which had the effect of raising Mr. Plie's anger almost to a white heat.
"There isn't anything so very bad; it won't affect the foundations of the house, nor its lasting qualities, idiot. You must know that."
"There'll be trouble in about five years' time," was the reply. "But that isn't the point—my point at least. Lord Trammere is paying for something he's not getting, and because I know that I want to quit the job."
"You're a fool to yourself, Wakelyn, if you do any such thing," said Pile sourly. "Where'll you get another job? A word from will go a long way, and we can't afford, as business is. In these days, to be so mealy-mouthed; nobody knows that better than you."
"I can't help that," replied Wakelyn quietly. "My mind's made up."
Then Mr. Courtenay Pile's admirable composure gave way, and he cursed his subordinate in no measured terms. It but made very little impression, and two hours later Pile had to return to town to report the ill success of his interview, and to look out for a successor to Wakelyn.
The man who had faced a difficult situation for conscience's sake went about the rest of his day's work apparently undisturbed. He had counted the cost. That it was likely to be heavy he had never hidden from himself.
Lucrative situations were not going begging, and he was now a middle-aged man; further, he had many heavy private obligations—a wife and family, including an invalid son. It was for the boy's sake he had done this. If Ted Wakelyn had ever been tempted to rebel against the destiny that kept him tied to a sick bed while
others carried on the work of life,
he might have been cheered had he
known how mighty was the influence
he wielded on all with whom he came
in contact.
When Wakelyn got back to his
simple, hare quarters at the village
inn that night, two letters waited
for him, both from his home.
He opened the boy's letter first, and when he read it a tender smile hovered about his lips, and something very like tears velled his eyes. It had nothing to do with the case that had been decided that day; it was merely, as Wakelyn expressed it later, a love-letter from the boy, who missed his father and his chum more than he had words to tell. It warmed Wakelyn's heart; but while he fingered the other one, he was conscious of a reluctance so great that he feared to break the seal. It was Lucy's answer, his wife's deliverance upon the contents of the letter he had sent to her early in the week. He had not asked any advice in that letter, only told her what was in his mind, and what he intended to do. How would she take it? He felt a little afraid.
He slipped the letter into his pocket, unopened, went to wash the dust of the day's work from his face and hands, and then sat down to his solitary tea. He enjoyed it after a fashion, then, pushing his chair back, sat down on the old monk's bench by the fire. That done, he cut open the envelope of his wife's letter with great deliberation, and drew forth the written sheet within. He imagined at once that it was not long, because the outer page was quite blank. When he turned it to the other side, his face fushed a 'little' and his eye shone. It was a long time since Lucy had begun a letter to him in such endearing terms. She was undemonstrative, a woman of few words at all times. For once she had laid aside all her reserve.
"Darling," it began. "Your letter is lying spread out before me as I write, and I have waited a whole day before answering it, so as to be quite sure of all I wished to say. The impulse was on me when it came to sit down at once and pour out all my heart; but Ted was not so well this morning, and other things I will tell you presently intervened.
"I felt, so glad when I read your letter, John, that every other worry seemed to fade away. I just slipped up to our room and knelt down, and thanked God because He had made you so good and so strong. You have done right, quite right. I understand every word of what you wrote, and it was more than kind of you to take

much trouble to make the things positively clear to me, but dear, it was not needed. My faith in you is so great that I should never have. questioned your decision, whatever it had been. I understand all you say about the things that are done in business, but I am thankful beyond any words of mine to express that you will not lend yourself to these methods, and that you will suffer rather than lend your countenance to dishonest practices. I will suffer with you gladly, John, and be proud of it, and I am sure the children, if they were asked, would say the same.
"But, happily, I think there will not be any need. Who do you think came to see me to-day but Uncle Edgar, from Bristol, without a word of warning, and he did not seem to mind a cold meat lunch! He was so nice, so different from any time I have ever seen him before, that I couldn't quite make it out. He is aging, too; I can't help thinking that God has spoken to his hard heart, and that he is beginning to realize some of the things he has missed in life. He was lovely to Ted, and brought him a great parcel of books, new books, from the Stores; think of Uncle Edgar being guilty of such extravagance! He asked very kindly about you, and he said I was beginning to look rather old and tired, and that I must take better care of myself, and couldn't we have a holiday together at Morecambe at Easter.
"Finding him like this, and wanting desperately to tell somebody how proud and glad I was about you, I gave him your letter to read. He took a long time to read it, and blew his nose several times over it, and was a little gruff at the end. Then what do you think he said all of a sudden? "Your husband's a fool, Lucy, as the world counts folly, but I shouldn't wonder that he's chosen the better part. Tell him I said so, and if he comes home next week, as he seems to expect, out of a job, bring him to Bristol for the week-end, and we'll talk things over. I need somebody at my place I can trust, who won't buy and sell me the moment my back's turned. I could trust your John Wakelyn, so bring him down." Of course, I said I would. I hope your interview with your firm won't
be very disagreeable, dear, but if it is, never mind. Come home. Never have you been so welcome as you will be this time to the happy and loving woman, who is not proud to sign herself, Your Wife."
Wakelyn's lips twitched as he turned the sheet to read it all over again, and a joy filled his heart so great as to well-night overwhelm him. The part concerning Uncle Edgar did not greatly uplift him. It was the knowledge that he had his wife's sympathy and trust that filled and covered his whole horizon; nothing else mattered.
There occurred in his memory, as he sat there in the silence, a passage he had read from Isaiah before he slept the night after the momentous letters had been written.
"And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." And again, "They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."—David Lyall, in British Weekly.
The English-Cold Morning Bath
---A Snare and a Delusion.
Says "a plain American" in the American Magazine:
"Everyone knows about the tradition of the cold morning bath. All Englishmen mention the fact in a casual manner that they have one at least once each day, but I have wondered if they did not protest too much. How can anyone prove that they actually get into this aforesaid cold bath? That a two-hundred pound man can get into a zinc pan eighteen inches in diameter at the bottom, or prince about the great bilge keel which surrounds it, does not seem reasonable.
"After getting out of a fairly warm bed many times, and trying to do acrobatic acts in tepid water with a damp atmosphere of about forty degrees, in a stone-walled room with the concentrated cold of four hundred or more long years hermetically sealed in a musty old castle, I decided to fake the cold bath, as I now believe all Englishmen do.
"It's an easy game, and this is the way to do it. Jump from the bed and land, if possible, clear of the stone floor on any old rug or piece of carpet. Dress hurriedly and completely and draw a razor over your blue chop called a chin, stunch the blood with your own pocket handkerchief—don't use the bath towel; then drag the zinc bathtub to the centre of the floor, lay a bath towel or two spread out beside it, then throw the soap as hard as possible into the water six or seven times (this gives the effect of a natural English bath splash), slap the ends of another towel in the water, wet your hands (no matter if it does make 'em ache)—you must do this) and slap them on the towels to represent wet footprints. This done, you can look the world in the eye with a bright and shining morning face—the kind R. L. Stevenson refers to."

NATURE & SCIENCE
Professor Arthus at a conference of the Society of National Sciences at Lausanne announced that people bitten by venomous snakes can be kept alive for eight or ten hours simply by subjecting them to artificial respiration. He urged that every one living in tropical regions should be compelled to learn how to carry out artificial respiration.
The recent discovery of practical methods of converting crude cocoanut oil into a palatable and satisfactory vegetable butter has given great extension to this business in Germany. Seven companies are now crushing the copra and refining the oil for edible use. The importations of raw copra have more than doubled within three years.
One, hundred thousand gallons of water sterilized by electrically-generated ozone are used daily by the Pittsburg Homeopathic Hospital. Dry air is passed through the ozonizers and the ozone produced is mixed with the water by means of aspirators. Three ozonizers are used for sterilizing water, while two provide ozone used for sterilizing instruments and bandages. —Scientific American.
Uranium is found commercially in only two minerals in the United States, pitchblende and carnotite. Pitchblende, which is widely known because of its use as an ore of radium, occurs in quantity in the United States only in Gilpin County, Colorado, where there are four mines that produce it. Carnotite occurs as a yellow powder in sandstones in Utah and Colorado.—Scientific American.
A French newspaper publishes some statistics showing the causes of death in the medical profession. The figures are impressive, but there is no indication as to the source of the information. We read that forty-four per cent. die of heart disease, twenty per cent. from nervous affections, twenty per cent. from the morphia habit and seven per cent. from tuberculosis. The prevalence of morphia is ascribed to the fact that a doctor knows when his malady is incurable, and morphia is sought to soothe the mind.
Professor Ranke, some time ago, brought out a new fact concerning the brain of man as compared with that of other animals. It has long been known that the brain of a man does not weigh as much as that of a whale, or an elephant, and that there are birds and apes whose brains are heavier than man's in proportion to the weight of their bodies. But Professor Ranke showed that the way to reveal the actual superiority of the human brain is to compare its weight with that of the spinal cord.

Young Folks Hunt Secluded Corners to Smoke, Not to Spoon.
It is difficult to imagine what the next generation will be like if the craze for cigarette smoking goes on increasing at the present rate. Not only young men, but even young women seem to find it impossible to exist for more than an hour at the outside without having recourse to whatever is the correct brand of cigarette at the moment.
Once or twice lately while the Lenten dance season has been at its height I have strolled into balls at an immense hostelry hard by where hostesses find it convenient to hire a fine suite of rooms and pay a check for something like £1000, when they could give a dance at home for a quarter of that sum.
That, however, as Rudyard Kipling says, is another story. What I wish to remark upon is the craze for smoking which shows itself at these festivities by which young couples finding comfortable corners on staircases, in out-of-the-way rooms and balcones, not, not as one might expect, for purposes of flirtation, but that they may enjoy a cigarette together.
And at the hotel in question, if one goes to the restaurant for supper at a private ball, say, at 1 a. m., a perfect cloud of smoke greets you as you enter, which very decidedly takes off from the flavor of the excellent viands that are provided. This is all bad enough, but as nothing compared to the seriousness of young men and women smoking cigarettes all day as well as all night, and rendering themselves, after a few years, nervous and neurotic; perfectly useless to themselves and everybody else. —From the Gentlewoman.
The Medical Men.
Physicians as a whole do not receive the credit they deserve in the popular mind for their disinterested work for mankind. We are too apt to look upon them as persons who come to us when we are sick and give us something to make us well again, or bandage our injuries when we have been hurt, and even operate upon us in an emergency, and then charge us a good price for it, when compared with the wages of an ordinary laborer—which price we are glad to pay, because we value our health and comfort above price. But this is a comparatively small side of the life of the average modern physician. St. Louis Star.

Making and Using Stencils.
The use of the stencil for wali dec.
oration, or for ornamenting curtains,
scarfs and even dresses, is effectivg
and not difficult, Whether the effect
ig cheap and tawdry or beautiful and
dignified will depend upon the design
and colors selected.
To make the stencil, procure some
fairly heavy Manila wrapping paper.
Give it a coat of raw linseed ail. With
a cloth wipe off the superfluous oll
and hang the paper to dry. , It should
be used whep fresh.
To,cut, lay the paper upon a sheet
of glass and use a very sharp knife.
This kéeye the under side of the cut
clean and free from ragged edges.
When finished the stencil should be
given a coat of shellac.
It will be easily seen that since the
design shows only where the openings
occur, the openings alone make the
design, and the paper must be so
made that the paper completely sir-
rounds each opening; that fs, unless
care is used in planning the design,
it may fall apart when it is finished.
‘This can readily be seen by studying
>. =
Fig. 1. When this figure ts cut, the
pleces A and B will fall gut. In Fig.
2 this fault is corrected. In other
words, the parts that make the de-
sign must in each ease be separated
from eack other by the background
of paper.
If, when the design fs drawn, and
before it is cut, the spaces are filled in
with pencil or ink, it will be easy to
determine if the figure is made 60 it
will not fall apart.
Those stencils are best which avoid
long, loose connecting parts (Fig. 3),
as they are likely to be pushed aside
by the brush and the design blurred.
Fig, 4 shows the proper arrangement.
The space to be decorated must
first be marked off into rectangles the

The law courts of Gottingen have
just delivered a weighty decision af-
fecting the rights and Mbertlés of
flaicees. : a
Some weeks ago a young Berlini ar-
chitect had a visit from his be-
trothed, a Gattingen lady. She stayed
in the capital over the week end, and
the architect escorted his sweetheart
back to the station, where, he fondly
thought, he saw her in the train safe-
ly bound for Gottingen.
It appears, however, that the lady
was reluctant to tear herself away
from the joys of the metropolis. Si-
renlike, Berlin beckoned her back,
and at the second station she left the
train and returned to the city, where
she stayed till the next morning.
Some kind friend imparted intelli-
gence of this to the architect, and
added that his flancee had beet seen
junescorted in the Friedyichstrasse.
The architect at once wrote to his
sweetheart, demanding explanations.
Recelving no reply, he broke off the
engagement and instituted proceed-
ings for a return of his presents and
the money ho had spent during his
betrothal, including cab fares, rafl-
way tickets from Gottingen to Berlin,
and the lady's board while she waa
here. .
Her explanation of her conduct was
that she wag tired to the point of en?
nuf of the intellectual life of Gottin-
gen, and sighed for the renowned,
midnight revels of Berlin. The courts
decided that she had done nothing to
justity her lover breaking off the en-
gagement, and dismissed the action,
adding that there was no proof that
the lady's escapade reflected in the
least upon ker character.
Breach of promise cases are un-
known to German law, 50 the Gottin-
gen lady cannot mend her broken
heart with coin of the realm.—Berlin

sure of almost utbelfevable condi-
tions for the Amgican Magazine.
His subject is the Almshouses of the
Counties of New York State. Says tho
editor in a foreword to the article:
“You must go back to the old Bedlam
to find anything so revolting in‘ the
case of suffering human beings.” The
following is quoted from the article:
“Possibly it may now be under-
stool what an almshouse is. It is the
dast refuge of the old; it is the win-
ter hotel of’the vagrant; it Is the
peét-house for the sick; the asylam

OLDEST KNOWN POTTERY.
People in Peru.
At a meeting of the Manchester
Literary and Philosophical Soctety re-
cently Sir William Bailey read a pa-
per giving further details of the re-
markable discoveries of prehistoric
pottery made by Hewitt Myring in
Peru, a short description of which has
already appeared in The Sun.
Sir William explained that the dis-
coveries, which have attracted wide-
spread attention, at least one Ameri-
can museum having tried to secure
the pottery, were made during the
exploration of the Chimcuna Valley
in Pern, Mr. Myring was exploring
‘the sand ridges in the hope of find-
ing something in the Inca graves, but
it appeared that the valley had been
used as a cemetery by the Chimus,
the race before the Incas, and as he
went on he discovered hundreds of
pieces of what is probably the most
ancient pottery in the world. These
pieces, which are in the best state of
preservation, have been, brought to
England, and about a third of them
have been secured for the British
Museum,
Sir William said that the Egyptian
pottery of any dynasty was not equal
to the best of the Peruvian specimens.
‘The modeling of the human face was
startling in its art. Both dignity and
laughter were shown, and the mus-
cles of the cheek, the wrinkles of the
skin and the flexibility of the nostrils
were depicted with great car¢ and
skill.
No two specimens were alike.
There was Individuality in each fig-
ure, The serfdom of-habit and cus-
tom and tradition did not govern,the
work, which showed that the workers
must have had intellectual liberty and
genius.
The pots were buried with the
dead. They varied In shape and size.
‘Some represented an!mals, birds and
fishes Weapons were not much in
evidence, and neither bows nor are
rows had been discovered. No horses
were to be found but there was 2
beast Hke a hornless antelope. Birds
were somewhat abundant and a bat-
Uke beast, stags and ‘frogs were imi-
tated,
The broad, Intellectual! human
faces represented on some of the
pieces were doubtless portraits, They
might easily be taken for English or
German faces, . The workmanship,
was equal to any of the portrait jugs'
ini vogue in this country in the elgh-
teenth century and in some cases was
better art, .
‘The age of the pottery might be
anything between 5000 and 10,000
years, Many of the pots cantained
silver pellets and necessaries for a
journey, thus revealing that these
early races shared in the belief in an-
other world and a state of transmt-
gration possibly ontalling herdship
and the need of endurance. The ab-
sence of rain in Peru and the preq-
ence of silicates in the soil had helped
to preserve the specimens practically
intact.
Fireworks to Protect Crops.
‘The grest e¥ain fields of the Sand-
born ranch in Shasta County, Callfor-
nia, are ingentously protected at night
from the vast flocks of wild geese aud
other aquatic fowl that do immense
damage to crops by means of a dis-
play of freworks,
“Skyrockets and’ ‘Roman candles
were bought in large quantities by
the management of the ranch, and
men are stationed at various: points.
‘Whenever a flock !s heard honking in
the distance several skyrockets or a
shower of colored balls from a Ro-
man candle are sent upward, and asa
result the birds give the ranch a wide

AGE OF THE ODOMETER.
Distance Measurer Was Invented by Colonel Blunt in 1657.
"It would surprise a great many automobilists who are so familiar with the name and use of such common automobile accessories as the speedometer, the odometer, and the taximeter, to know that hundreds of years ago similar devices were known of and in use," said Edwin G. Baldwin, of Boston, Mass. "Why, 250 years ago the odometer was invented by Colonel Blunt, of New York, who called his machine the 'Way-Wiser," which he applied to the Cumberland stage coach of that day. This was on August 6, 1657, and the machine successfully registered the miles and showed them by an index as the coach traveled. The 'Way-Wiser' had its dial face divided into three circles, one of which indicated the number of roads, another the miles by tens up to one thousand, and the third circle of the dial showed the miles with all the quarters by and division."
Of course, the original odometer was that used by the Chinese thousands of years ago, before the Christian era, which indicated the distance traveled by a vehicle by dropping a small pebble into a receptacle at every mile. Quite a far cry from that to the present Broadway taxicab, which registers whether you want it or not.—New York Sun.

A young lawyer, trembling with fear, rose to make his first speech, and began: "My lord, my unfortunate client—My lord, my unfortunate client—My lord" "Go on, sir, go on!" said Lord Ellenborough, "as far as you have proceeded hitherto the court is entirely with you."
SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP
"I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old.
"She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without, effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H. Klernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1909."

Fritz the gardener was a stolid German who was rarely moved to extraordinary language. Even the most provocative occasions only caused him to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not long ago he came back, from the city in the late evening after a hard day in the market place. He was sleepy, and the train being crowded, the baggageman gave him a chair in his roomy car.
Finally the train reached Bloomfield. Fritz, still slept as it pulled in and his friend had to shake him and tell him where he was.
"I tanks you," said Fritz, as he rose slowly to his fete. The open door of the car, was directly in front of him. He walked straight out of it.
The baggageman sprang to look after him. Fritz slowly picked himself up from the sand by the side of the track, looked up at the door, and said with no wrath in his voice: "There should here be some steps." —St. Paul Dispatch.

The two physicians here had 3 very obstinate cases of continued Malarial Fever. All were Italians and lived on a creek 60 yards from my store. These cases were of three months standing, their temperature ranging from 100 to 104. The doctors had tried everything in vain. I persuaded them to let me try Johnson's Tonic. I removed all the printed matter and let the medicine go out in a plain bottle as a regular prescription. The effect in all three cases was immediate and permanent. They recovered rapidly and there was no recurrence of the Fever.

"PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN"
Fabled Fountain of Youth Could Not Be More Potent Than Association With Little Ones.
"Play with the children!" was the recurrent advice of a wise and successful man. "This will keep your heart young, your viewpoint fresh, your wit sparkling. The child heart is at once the purest and the happiest in all nature; the child tongue is a transfiguring power."
Something of this indubitable power attaches to good stories of those naive and innocent "little ones" scripturally declared specially blessed and potent. The child mind transforms, the child touch lifts to glauk laughter incidents and accidents not otherwise worth noting. Witness this little tale of the careful mother to whom came a tiny son all agog over the acquirement of new and forbidden knowledge.
"Mother!" cried the child, baby eyes shining, baby cheeks glowing. "do you know what 'Till be hornswogled' means?"
"No, dear," said the mother; solemnly seizing the opportunity to implant a lesson. "I'm sure I do not." "Well, I do," was the ecstatic answer, the suggested lesson being utterly ignored. "It means just the same as 'I'll be gol-darned!'"
Wife and Country.
Paul D. Cravath, the noted New York lawyer, sald at a luncheon at the Lawyers' club: "Vacation time is here, and already that dreadful song about the wife gone to the country is being resurrected. But a variant to the song was furnished by a conversation I overheard the other night. "Hello, Smith," said one man to another, 'I'm glad to see you back at the club again, old fellow. Wife off to the country eh?' "No, growled Smith. 'She's got back.'"
Judges' Wigs.
The wig is only worn by English barristers to give them a stern judicial appearance, and no one can say that it falls in this respect. The custom was originated by a French judge in the seventeenth century when, happening to don a maquis' wig one day, he found it gave him such a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to get one for himself and wear it at all times in court. This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only judges, but barristers, also, took up the custom throughout Europe.

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark of Small, Boy Embarrassed Toper and Filied Car With Merriment.
Jimmie, who is a very small boy living in the East end, accompanied his mother downtown several days ago. Nearly everything he saw was quite-new to him, so he was not sparing in his comments and opinions and questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his mother on the car homebound was an individual who, judging by the "blossom" on his nose, had partaken freely of joy, water. None of Jimmie's neighbors possessed an appendage that could compare with the one across the alley.
In silence Jimmie took in the situation and the "blossom." His thoughts must have grown so curious that they could not be withheld any longer and he finally blurted out in a loud voice: "Mamma, is that Santa Claus?" pointing to the man with the red nose. Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried to silence her son, but it was no use. In an audible whisper, the connection between the man and Santa Claus was disclosed much to the discomfiture of the man. "Why, mamma, didn't it say In that story about Santa Claus that Santa had a 'nose like a cherry,'" he asked, and the car was in an uproar.—Pittsburgh Times-Gazette.
The Dentist's Joke.
At a recent dinner of the Authors' club in London to Mr. Owen Seaman, the editor of Punch, Mr. Walter Emanuel, another member of the staff of Punch, referred to the fact that the man with the largest sense of humor he had ever struck'was an Englishman—a dentist. He went to him after suffering long with a toothache. He refused to have gas, and the dentist pulled out a tooth, leaving him writhing in pain, and took the tooth to the window, where he laughed quite heartily. He groaned: "What's the joke?" "Wrong tooth," said the dentist.
