[" The Stanstead Jou = rnal.VOL.LXIV\u2014No.30.DO you know of a man of ordinary business ability with a reasonable amount of money, who is looking fora SAFE, SURE, BUSINESS ?If eo tell him about the ALBEE SHOPS AT DERBY.This business is to be sold to settle the estate and the man who gets it will own one of the best things ever established in Derby Centre.Inquire of W.8, ROBBINS, or E.A.ALBEE, Derby.Business Ideals.A man can talk ideals now-a- days and not be regarded as a theorist or a dreamer.In fact the business without ideals is like a ship without a- compass\u2014under way, but just whither it\u2019s going not even the pilot himself knows.The success of the Daly Grocery Co., has been due to the high ideals, to their aims\u2014to sell only the highest class goods in their line\u2014Groceries and Provisions of a dependable character.The product of our soda fountain has met with the same measure of success as our main business.The Ice Cream is pronounced the finest served over any counter hereabout; we are credited with knowing how to serve it, too.The Daly Grocery Co.We are not Wizards As we do not by \u201cmysterious signs\u201d seek to convert Base Metal into Gold nor common Brass into Silver.Our head Chauffeur has been driving here for some forty odd years, has a license, never been arrested, always drove within the speed limit and still drives.To say the least, we try to use the public square, square, do you get that?You are the mark we are aiming at, and if we can make a few bulls eye hits, we will be pleased.R.C.PARSONS, JEWELER.TOWN TOPICS.P.A.Bissonnet is selling out his stock of Dry Goods.See ad.Mrs.Julia Walker and Miss Pearl Walker have returned from several days\u2019 outing in the Townships.Miss Ola A.Fergurson, who has lately been the guests of relatives in this place, left to-day for her home in Montreal Junction.Master Chauncey H.Smith is the guest of his cousins, Kenneth and Fayne Hovey at Riverside Farm, Way's Mille, Let everyone see the gamce of ball at the diamond on the Athletic Park, Saturday afternoon- Lee Jenkins is to pitch to George Nunns.The Cap- letons have a strong team and have been playing ball all summer, and the Frontiers will have to play boll to\u2019 get a score, but we expect to see them win.Kathan & Hopkins received the first Blueberries in Wooden Pails yesterday, and they are large, dry, fine stock.They were never better than they are coming this season.It will be well for all wanting these fine Quebec Blueberries to leave their orders at once.They will have them as long as the season lasts.An informal good-by party was given at Mr.and Mrs.Fred Renaud\u2019s last evening to Miss Blanche Allard, who soon is to leave for Worcester, Mass., where she is to remain permanently.A goodly company of her friends were present and a good time enjoyed.The Rock Island orchestra furnished the music for the evening.Before the home going Miss Allard was presented with a well-filled purse.Miss Allard is one of our most popular young ladies and leaves town with the best wishes of all.The annual communication of Golden Rule Lodge on Owl\u2019s Head Mountain has been withdrawn for the present year.An excursion through the lake has been a feature of this event in the past and the date of this year\u2019s trip had already been fixed for August 5th.But when the Lodge committee approached the B.& M.officials, the latter refused to make an excursion rate without à large guarantee.Un- lees this be made they insisted upon regular a for the boat trip.To some this looked like a \u201chold-up\u201d, and it was decided to defer final action until the last meeting Tuesday evening when the Lodge voted to cancel the trip.ROCK ISLAND, (STANSTEAD) P.Q., THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1909.TOWN

a position to do all hie own lighting if necessdry.Mrs.Roswell Bennett has been very ill with measles, but is now improving.They have five children and not one of them has ever had the disease.It's not a very desirable vacation season attachment.Mr.Rushlow of Newport and Miss Noèmie Deslandes of our village were married at the R.C.Church, Newport, Monday morning.Mr.Rushlow is connected with the Frost Veneer Seat Co.of Newport as foreman and the young people are to make Newport their home.Miss Deslandes has been in the employ of the Rock Island Overall Co.for some months.Rev.J.G.Hindley gave his hearers Sunday evening some of the fruit of his recent vacation, and the central thought was so sane and practical that we desire to pass it along to our readers.His contention was for a vacation that contributes to the years total of growth.We are very much in sympathy with this scheme for a vacation, and furthermore we believe one gets the greatest benefit from such a vacation as their longings prompt.If some one else makes the program there is a chance that the benefit will not equal the need.A vacation should not deplete any good quality, but should possess constructing force, it should be uplifting and any other result ie a failure and is a false expression of the idea of a rest time or vacation.The pastor revealed a high interpretation of the purpose of an outing.A great variety of complaints are lodged in our harbor for comment and criticism, and some of them are very peculiar and many are ladicrous.A good lady suggested that we eay something about people shutting up their hens so they will not spoil the neighbor\u2019s gardens, etc., and we said we would, because we feel that the JOURNAL is an important factor in regulating matters in the community and we too often promise for the time being, and repent of it afterward when we have had time to think it over; but this hen business is more serious than anything we have met in many years of paragraphing.À hen is such an unreasonable creature, obstinate as can be imagined, and combine this-one gift, (pardon this nee of the word gift) with a careless owner of the biddy and there is trouble at once.We thought it best to ask advice of several individuale\u2014 the first one\u2019s was: \u201cCut their heads off with an axe,\u201d another uses a grain sickle for amputating their heads, and TOWN TOPICS.Mr.Clifford Goodhue of Sherbrooke spent Sunday in town.Mr.Harry W.Smith of Boston spent Sanday in town.Mr.F.W.Potter of Syraceuse, N.Y., was in town Friday.Mr.and Mrs.F.B.Royce of Burlington, Vt., were in town Friday.Mr.Andrew Gale of Uhicopee Falls, Mass., was a visitor in town Friday.Mr.James Williameon of Boston is spending a few days at his home here.Rev.and Mrs.J.G.Hindley are

points for his annual vacation of two weeks.Mr.Gerald and Kathleen Wiggett of Sherbrooke were the guests of Miss Helen Baxter at the Derby Line Hotel.Mrs.H.A.Clark spent Thursday and Friday at Lake Park, the guest of Col.and Mrs.H.S.Haskell, at \u201cYioco\u201d Point.\u201d Mr.O.M.Carpenter, of the Haskell Free Library, returned from a two weeks\u2019 vacation in the Eastern Townships Monday evening.Hon.Charles A.Prouty, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and a party of friends were in town Monday by auto.Mr.Winthrop K.Harding of Boston arrived in town Saturday evening and will spend

extended visit here.Mr.Samuel T.Fregeau left in his Ford touring car accompanied by his two daughters and son Maurice, Wednesday to vieit his old home at Law- renceville, Que.This should be a delightful outing.Rev.Dr.Flanders, late Principal of Stanstead College, will preach next Sabbath morning, at the Centenary Methodist Church, after which the Sacrament of the Lord\u2019s Supper will be administered.Evening service: Fanny Crosby and her Hymns.At the Park Diamond last night after the boys re-organized the Frontier Base Ball team, electing Charles R.Jenkins Manager and William F.Pike, Captain.Keep the grass roots hot now on boys.We notice several reports of silver grey trout being caught in Lake Mem- phremagog and tributary waters.We have a desire to see one of these fish, for it is unusual to find them in Eastern waters as they seem to naturally belong to the ponds and lakes in very high altitudes in the far northwest, and their presence here seems unique.\u2019 Mr.and Mre.Henry Hubbard have adopted one very pleasing number in the program for their vacation, it appeals to us, for we have been guilty of the same act.They canoe along the shore of Memphremagog, camping wherever night overtakes them, living in the open.This is the week for this number, and we try to keep the commandments, but when we learn of such sane vacation taking we are covetous and we will not deny it.It is so far removed from all conven- tionalism that we enjoy it.Think of the possible camp fire, potatoes roasted in the ashes, coffee brewed under difficulties and the nights spent on the hemlock bed.Such experiences send one back to his desk or his reason was clever, he said: \u201cI task can clip them as they run and I point them home and remove thelr brain gourds just before they cross the boundary line, and they generally reach their owner headless.\u201d\u2019 Another catches them with steel traps, and this means & few broken legs, toes, etc.There were many other schemes, but we have one that shouid appeal to any humane, reasonable person; if your friend will not shut up his hens, proceed as per the following formula: Punctore kernels of corn and string them on reasonably strong cotton twine and scatter about your grounds and watch the result; you\u2019ll laugh until your sides ache, and while you're having your fine time the hens will go home, and the best of all about these applications, they will cure the malady and you\u2019ll retain the good will of your neighbor.\u2019 any work renewed and ready for any Mr.and Mrs.Benjamin P.Ball gave a delightful time to Mesdames J.U.and Walter P.Baxter, Mrs.Pike, Mrs.F.A.Jackson, Misses Helen Baxter and Kathleen Wigget, Mr.and Mrs.James F.Telford and Mies Olara, Mrs.Chapman, Mr.and Mrs, W.Clark Hopkins, at their cottage at Lake Park all day Thursday and all pro- noanced it one of the best days of their life.Everyone knows the Balls are royal entertainers, and this party of people would be appreciative of attention, unbend and make things lively.If we could have been in a hollow tree with a convenient knot hole for a peep sight, we could perhaps say à few things that would touch the funny bone of the reader.\u201cWe bad s fine time\u201d was the limit of their communications, but they are still talking to each other about it.TOWN TOPICS.Mr.R.E.French of St.Johnsbury was in town Thursday.Meesrs.Gordon Dinning and Clifford Goodhue of Sherbrooke were in town Thursday by auto.Mrs.J.8.Aitkin and daughter, Miss Mary Aitkin, of Winnipeg, are gueste at \u201cOarrolleroft.\u201d

this place, is critically ill at his home in Mount Kasco, N.Y.The nature of his illness is not specifically stated, but it is understood to be typhoid fever.Lieut.Howarad R.Smalley of the 2d U.8.Cav.of Fort DeMoines, Ia., 1s spending a few days at the Nelson home on West street.the guest ot.Col.Nelson.Lieut.Smally is [just from a visit to Lieut George E.Nelson at Port Sam Houston, Texas.He soon goes for the second time to the Phillipines.Mr.Frederick D.Burns was down from the \u2018\u2018Cedars\u201d the first of the week with Boston friends whom he is entertaining at his summer home at Peasley\u2019s Pond.One gentleman, Mr.Colley is a member of the Boston Council.Hon.A.N.Thompson was one of the party and there was every evidence of cheer and good fellowship.Mr.Morris Buck and a friend of Newport, while out with Mr.Buck\u2019s launch Thursday evening, got out of gasoline and made into Cedarville for a supply, getting it of Mr.Stevens, and soon after emptying it in the tank the boat caught fire in the bottom, there evidently being a leak in the supply pipe and it had accumulated quite an amount and the boat was nearly a wreck from the heat although the hull mey be saved.Such accidents make us all more cautious.We cannot be too much so with a gasoline Marine engine.The time will come when a certificate of ability will be a necessary precaution with all running engines using any kind of fuel.Good work is being done by Immigration officer Neveu of this place.In May seven \u2018\u2018undesirables\u201d were turned back at the border; in June the number was eighteen, and eo far this month nine have been shut out.Most of these were Europeans of a low order who could not be expected to make good citizens.Yesterday a deat and dumb man, unable to read or | write and unfamiliar with the sign alphabet af his kind caused considerable perplexity.[He was travelling alone and the only clue to his identity was his milage.Wires were requisitioned and from the agent who sold the ticket at Exeter, N.II, it was learned that the unfortunate man was J.Garmanche, a french canadian, bound for Point Levis, Que.He was allowed to proceed after a few hours detnention at the junction.We learn that the promising \u2018\u2018Independent\u201d baseball team has disbanded.Baseball seems to sadly lack ballast in organization and the quality called in business parlance, \u2018\u2018stick-to-itivness,\u201d and it is rather unfortunate that so clean a sport and what might be made a source of real pleasure and benefit to the community cannot assume more staying and reliable qualities and we are often led to wonder why our playing cannot be placed on a higher plain and carry a greater sense of loyalty and thereby attract to its ranks all classes and make more of such things.We are not in a critical mood, as the coat fils us finely and we are very much at fault in this matter.Sports will never assume their proper relationship to the life of the community until we are all willing to contribute a just portion to its support and it\u2019s a fact worthy of comment that we shall get out of this feature of life just what we put into it and a certain responsibility for its success rests with us ail.\u201cAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, ete.,\u2019\u201d\u2019 bas mach truth in it.Edison Cement.TOWN TOPICS.Dr.Higbt, chiropodist, is at

These with cool effrontery made her heartily welcome to her own hearth and to the appetizing supper awaiting in the big out door dining room.Mr.Ball on his arrival a half hour earlier had, without a word or look of surprise, made those already there most welcome and assisted later arri- ! vals in the disposition of their teams.No doubt he wondered \u2018\u2018what next\u201d but he said no such thing.Surprise parties cannot always be the unqualified success that this one was.The supper to which all contributed was delicious and fully enjoyed.After supper Gen.Butterfleld\u2019s electric launch and Mr.F.T.Caswell\u2019s new motor boat were in requisition.Mr.D.W.Davis with a generous happy thought chartered the Yioco for a two hours\u2019 trip most thoroughly enjoyed by those who accepted his invitation.Never was seen a more per- tect moonlight night on the lake.Those who did not care to go boating enjoyed a quiet \u2018hop\u2019 in the spacious living room to the inspiring music furnished by Mr.and Mrs.Wright Hovey assisted.by Shirley F.Ticehurst with cornet.The party broke up at ten o\u2019clock leaving bebind with reluctance the enchanting spot.Mr.and Mrs.Ball are famous for having \u2018A {atch string always out\u201d else would their never dare to make their \u201cGuest Book\u2019 the envy of many a hotel register.MINTON.Miss Mabel Meyer is spending a few days in Sherbrooke.Miss A.McAllister of Waterville, is spending a week at Mr.A.A.Bean\u2019s.Mr.and Mrs, N, E.Dean and Master Robert were at Boynton over Sunday.MF.and Mrs.Rexford of Ayer's Oliff spent Sunday at Mr.H.E, Johnson\u2019s.Rev.A.E.Sanderson conductod quarterly services in the church here last Sunday.Everyone is busy haying at present, though the crop is very light.\u2019 / pme pete ES x ees.

estate offers the best opportunity in Vermont for an examination of.the methods and results of forest planting.Here trees of various species have been planted in large numbers during the past forty years, giving excellent chance to compare the development of difierent trees on different soils and under dit- ferent methods of treatment.The plantations are sufficiently near the hotels so that dinner may be had in the village, or persons attending may bring lunch to be eaten in the woods.Find Mammoth Caves.That mammoth caves, containing caverns large enough in which to place city office

company\u2019s tracks for an entrance to the city, and also looked over the ground for the erection of the divisional plant there.It is expected that work on this will commence this fall, including a roundhouse with accommodation for eighteen engines.Tenders are also being dealt with for the construction of the Grand Trunk Paciflc branch from Edmonton to Calgary, and these will be announced very shortly.While at Edmonton Mr.Chamberlain stated that fifty miles of this road would be under construction this fall, and the work will be pushed through without delay.It is hoped that by next year the

they are used in the transaction of business, performing the same work that devolves upon the borse and should be placed upon the same basis as the horse when it comes to listing for a tax.As we understand it a 8200 horse is listed higher than a 850 one; therefore a 82,000 automobile should be listed higher than a 81,000 one.But they should be listed and taxed reasonably upon the same basis as the other property and not separated out and taxed at high luxury rates as is done at the present time.No fairly well-to-do man could stand the same.ratio of tax upon all of the property he might own, as is placed upon his automobile, and meet running expenses; and the question is, why should the auto be outrageously taxed and in the present manner, simply because he chooses it in preference to the horse?\u2014Newport Express & Standard.; State Supt.Stone\u2019s Statement.The forthcoming report for the year 1909 of Mason 8.Stone, of Montpelier, state superintendent of education, among other things shows that the total number of schools now in the state is 2,389, against 2,369 in 1908.Rutland county has the largest number of schools, 254, and Grand Isle county the smallest, 28.Increase in the number of school weeks is almost 500 over 1908 and the aggregate of daye\u2019 attendance of all the pupils in the state is over 1,000,- 000 days.The cost of operating the schools a week has been 819 against 815 last year, and the cost a pupil has been 822 against 820 last year.Of the 822,000 appropriated for transportation, Orange county receives the largest amount, $3,170.29, and Windsor county second, receiving £3,110.12.The number of school children has increased about 400 since last year, but the total number of children enumerated is about 7,000 less than last year, due largely to the negligence of clerks of school boards and school districts who have failed to make a house to house canvass.Phrophecy.The announcement that the Canadian government is resolved to keep United States coiu out of circulation in that country rather tends to aug- gest Mrs.Parrington and her broom.It may be more effective than the various spasmodic efforts of occasional Dominion patriots to proscribe baseball and cultivate popular delight in lacrosse instead as a distinctly Canadian recreation.It may be more ef- tective, that is, because the compelling power of the government is behind it.But the people on this continent of North América are just as much destined to one political entity as they are even now growing together in social ideals and purposes.And the American money that filters into Canada is simply following the channels through which a continuous exchange of other things is made.We are to be a continental people, we Americans, and the term American will comprehend us all\u2014$§t.Albans Messenger.Press Association to be Entertained.The midsummer meeting of the Vermont Press Association will be held Thursday and Friday, August 19 and 20, when the Vermont editors and their women friends will be the guests of Theodore N, Vail at \u201cSpeedwell Farms,\u201d Lyndon Center.Luncheon will be served the party at \u2018The House\u2019 Thursday noon and the afternoon will be passed inspecting the fancy farm, one of the largest in the state, and in automobile trips.At 5 oclock Mr.Vail will serve a clambake and in the evening all will bave the privilege of hearing a concert on the big organ, all of whose pipes are concealed in the walls of the spacious music room.Friday morning the party will take the train to Newport, where Mr.Vail will give his guests a trip around Lake Memphremagog on the Lady of the Lake.Luncheon will be served on the boat and a banquet at Newport in the evening will conclude the outing.James P.Leake, of Massachusetts, and Herman E.Hasseltine, of Vermont, have besn nominated by the President to be assistant surgeons in the public health and marine hospital service VIRTUES OF THE SOIL.Social reformers are wont to attach unlimited virtues to the land, but it is rarely considered in a practical relation to the problem of poverty.Theories there are in plenty; application of theory is a rare exception.For several years past, however, one such application has been carried out under the direction of an English lady.Impressed with the sadnees and tragedy of theslot of British poorhouse children, this benevolent woman, Mrs.Close by name, set herself the task of finding means to alleviate their misery and transform them into happy and useful members of the community.She found the key to the problem in establishing a close relation between these children of misfortune and the land; her thoughts were somehow led to the conclusion that the soil ought to be the haven for all who cannot find industrial shelter elsewhere.Ina sense there is nothing original about this solution of the problem of poverty, for the British poor law system takes recognition of the usefulness of country cottage homes for the children of parents who have fallen by the wayside.But those cottage homes have no specific life training in view; the children leave them at a definite age no better fitted for the struggle of life than when they entered them.It is at this point Mrs.Close shows how it is possible to better the methods of officialism.She secured a farm in Canada of 180 acres, placed it under the oversight of a practical farmer, and then sent him à sufficient number of poorhouse boys and girls to till the soil under his direction.The plan has been a triumphant success from every point of view.In order that it might be tested most severely, the children selected have been the least desirable physically of their class, but they have responded in -a marvellous manner to the health-giving environment in which they were placed, and their practical training has Insured them innumerable openings when they were of an age to begin life on their own account.And gnother important matter must not be overlooked.The average cost of each child works out 50 per cent.less than the expenditure entailed by |} the British cottage-home system.This is an achievement of enormous practical value.What it means is that under one system a community may be burdened with a charge of, say, 8100 for each poorhouse child and then have a valueless product, while under another system the charge may be reduced to 820 and yet yield a product of undeniable worth.It would be genuine econdmy did Mrs.Close\u2019s method involve double cost; the fact that it halves the outlay, while enhancing the value of the result, is an unanswerable argument in its favor.NEW RELIGION PROPHESIED.Charles W.Eliot, former president of Harvard, prophesied the advent of a new religion in an address before the Harvard summer school of theology.\u201cIt will not be bound by dogma or creed,\u201d he said.\u2018Ite workings will be simple, but i.s field of action limitless.Ite discipline will be the training in the development of co-opera- tive good will.It will attack all forms of evil.There will be no supernatural elements;

that it promoted digestion and the heart's action, increased muscular activity, and even fortified the mind.Those who hold to such ideas have been living in a fool's paradice.\u201cThe new evidence seems to show that, in the fial analysis, alcohol stimulates none of these activities; that its final effect 1s everywhere de pressive and inhibitory (at any rate, as regards higher functions) rather than stimulative; that, in short, it is properly to be classed with the anaes thetics and narcotics.\u201d Bearing in mind the fact that more than 1,000,000,000 gallons o?alcoholie beverages are consumed each year in the United States, the grounds for this new view should be of Interest to every citizen.Dr.Willlams makes ths general statement that, as regards digestion, experiments show that while alcohol undoubtedly does stimulate the flow of digestive fluids, it also tends to interfere with their normal action; \u201cso that ordinarily one effect neutralizes the other.\u201d As concerns the heart, \u201cthe ultimate effect is to depress, in large doses to paralyze, that organ.\u201d Most important of all, a- regards muscular activity, \u201cthe experiments show that alcohol does not increase the capacity to do muscular work, but distinctly decrease: it.\u201d Kurz and Kraeplin estimated that after consuming eighty grams of alcohol to a man for twelve successive days the working capacity of that individual's mind was lessened from twenty-five per cent.to forty per cent.Smith found that after the same per fou the power to add was impaired forty per cent.and the power to memorize was reduced seventy per cent.Forty to eighty grams of alcohol are equal tc a nalf bottle or a bottle of ordinary wine.Professor Aschaftenburg, referring to these experiments, points .ne obvious moral: \u201cThe so-called moderate drinker, who consumes his bottle of wine as a matter of course each day with his dinner\u2014and who doubtless would de clare that he ir never under the influence of liguor\u2014is in reality never actually sober from one week's end to another.\u201d Rev.Mr.Aked's Greeting.To the Liquor Dealers of this coun try\u2014Greeting!

not much more, at any rate.At least it is difficult to raise life above that level.Such is the condition we are set to fight Not in the interest of asceticism, but of manhood; With a generous thought for every creature comfort, but with supreme concern for \u2018character, we may need to ask ourselves more frequently, \u201cIs not the life much more than meat?\u201d Then, how much more?Life without a definite port at the end; life unthrill- ed and unfed by the Father; life un-.sanctified, however sleek, is the sorriest failure.True and Best Humanity.We in our pride are apt to think that to humble ourselves is to be forced to an unwilling surrender, a hard necessity of submission.But with our gracious Father, to humble is not to humiliate.The true and best humanity is that which love wins from us as the sunshine and soft berath of spring woo the flowers from the hedgerow.Of old, when God would humble Israel, He fed them with angels food, or, as it is rendered in the margin, \u201cEvery one did eat the bread of the mighty.\u2019\u2014Psalm 78:25.\u2014 Mark G.Pearse.Mis Strength Enough.The answer to prayer may be,as it was to Paul, not the removal of the thorn, but instead, a growing insight into its meaning and value.The voice of God in our soul may show us, as we look up to him, that his strength is enough to enable us to bear it\u2014 James Freeman Clarke.Love and Truth.O Truth who art Eternity, and Love who art Truth, and Eternity who art Love!

Mukhtyarkan of Hyderabad, India.Some time ago at the village of Chhato Machi lumps of clay began to drop from the ceilings of all the houses.No human agency could be detected, so the villagers concluded that it was the doing of evil spirits.The annoyance caused was 80 great that they left the village in a body and settled in the neighborhood.After a few days a fakir was brought in who sald he would drive out the genii.Lo! at the fakir's striking the roofs of some of the houses and some of the trees dried cocoanuts and sugar began to fall in abundance on the ground which were distributed.The fakir then directed that all the ornaments, cash, etc., in the village should be put in a grain stack and a vessel of water placed over the stack.He would then repeat certain incantations and pour libations toward the village and the spir- {ts would take flight.The fakir then distributed some sweets to all the people, men, women and children.In a few minutes all the people tell into a profound sleep which lasted about three days.The ornaments and cash were, of course, removed by the fakir, who has disappeared.Thirty-nine Tailors to Make a Man.The United States Bureau of Labor has put the old adage that \u201cit takes nine* tallors to make a man\u2019 out of business.The bureau points out that for the simple making of a coat no less than thirty-nine men of different departments of the tailoring trade must contribute their labor.One tailor marks where buttons Another marks buttonholes.A third man spends the long day in sewing on buttons: a fourth in making buttonholes.Men who sew sleeves do not make armholes; the armhole men are not shoulder shapers, and these last do not touch collars.Even the men who manipulate the tallor\u2019's goose are divided Into pressers of seams, edges, linings, sleeves and coat pressers.The basters stick to one distinct specialty of basting, and a separate functionary, the basting pulled, undoes their work.Even the coat strap Is a a separate province.So when the coat is finished it represents thirty-nine men's work.Dog Acquired the Bark.Scientists state that the barking of the dog fs mot natural to the animal, but has been acquired by domestici- tion.Wild dogs never bark; aul, what is more remarkable, if dogs are {isolated for a long time froin their human masters they seem to lose the faculty.Thus, à number of dogs turned loose ou Juan Fernuan- dez Island were found in thirty-three years to have completely lost the habit, but to be able to reacquire it: on the other hand, wolf pupples, us well as young wild dogs, if reared among tame ones, readily learn to bark.It almost seems as If the sound were differentiated from the bowling and yelping natural to the wild Canidae, 1n order to communicate with man and serve his purpose.It is worth observing that the habit can be overcome when desired, as in some breeds of dogs favored by poachers, because silent dogs are not likely to betray their presence, Her Father a Worm-Eater.Recently a little girl applied for a registfation blank in a New York school.The teacher wrote her name, her address, her age, but at \u2018\u201cfather\u2019s occupation\u2019 the child balked and hung her head.The teacher had visions of a parental burglar, and reasoned gently: \u2018\u2018Tcll me what it is, my dear, and 1 will see whether we shall put it down ur not.\u201d \u2018\u2019No\u2018m, I won't tell,\u201d the gir] insisted.\u201cJust tell me,\u201d said the teacher again, \"and I won't speak of It to any one else.\u201d The little girl hesitated and twisted her hands.\u2018He's a worm eater,\u201d she finally burst out.\u2018\u2018A worm eater!\u201d cried the borrifled teacher.\u201cYes'm.He's a worm eater in an antique.\u201d And it afterward developed that the father was daily engaged in boring imitation worm holes in bogus antique furniture, so that the dealers can say, \u2018Look at the worm holes if you think this isn't genuinely old.\u201d Why Musicians Wear Long Hair.\u201cWhy do musicians wear long hair?\u201d sald the barber.\u2018\u2018Pshaw, I thought everybody knew that.They wear long hair to protect their ears, of course\u2014their sensitive ears.All depends, with musicians, on the ears, the same as all depends on the eyes with painters.And the ears of musicians are delicate, liable to take cold, liable to aches, inflammations and what not.So they protect them with long hair, and you have no more right to laugh at the mane of a planist or violinist than at the protective shields and pads of your favorite halfback.\u201d Be Yourself.Be gouteelf\u2014simple, honest and unpreteading\u2014and you will enjoy through Mfe the respect and love of friends.New York's Club Women.These are more

Wright late Tuesday at Fort Myer, by a spectacular flight of 1 hour, 90 minutes and 45 seconds duration.The longest previous flight in the United States was of 74 minutes made by Wright at Fort Myer last fall.s During the flight the machine was under perfect control, but several times appeared to the spectators to be onthe point of diving to the earth.Several thousand persons saw_an exhibition which included the most daring feats of aviation.The machine travelled a distance of about 70 miles, and at one time during the flight the height attained between 260 and 280 feet, exceeded the highest point ever reached by a heavier-than- air machine on this continent.The most wonderful part of the flight was the execution of three \u201cfigure eights.\u201d Not the slightest mishap occurred during the flight, but there were moments when the crowd watched almost breathlessly, fearing the aviator was losing control of his machine.A thrill passed through the spectators, as the {white flyer, apparently beginning to dive to the earth, would regain its equilibrium and speed onward around the oval, After rounding the course halt a hundred times, the aviator directed the machine\u2019s course around the small double circles of a figure eight.It was the first time thie season and the second time dur- | ing his career that he has executed | this manœuvre.To the amazement of the crowd the machine described a second eight and then a third, after which it was guided back to its former course of large ovals, THE PRESIDENT OF MANITOBA CONFERENCE.The

CROPS.The crops in the west are doing well and the weather is almost ideal, -Mod+ erate rains during the week were timely and gave fresh life to the crops.The outlook indicates an average yield of seventeen and a half bushels per acre, which will result in an output of 139,000,000 bushels.The acreage covered by wheat is estimated at 7,480,000, or an increase of ten peroent over that of last year.This is really a small increase, but it is owing to a somewhat late spring, and what is lost this year in wheat will be made up in coarse grains.The coarse grain crop is a very substantial item this season.An increase of twenty percent in oats and seven percent in barley is a conservative estimate.All grain and fruit crops in Ontario are progressing favorably.The oat crop, however, is an exception.It was said by one competent4o judge, that the total oat crop in Ontario will be a third less than it was last year.It is two weeks late and is so thin and puny in many parts as to require cutting with a mower instead of a reaper.Hay has been harvested and is pronounced to be quite satisfactory as regards quality and condition.Apples will likely turn out satisfactorily, although early varieties will be scarce.The peach yield is expected to be relatively large though in several distriots the orchards have been attacked by leaf curl.Small fruits are doing well.The Que- bec oat crop gives good promise, but the harvesting will be at least two weeks late.The hay supply has equalled the average expectation and other grains are making fair progress Vegetables and fruits generally show gratifying progress.\u2014 Montreal Witness.BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, died in Lombardy Sunday at the age of 61 years.The public library board of Ottawa has

allow me a little epace in the columns of your esteemed paper as I would like to give the pub- lica few facts, (facts remember, not hearsayr) It is not the writer's intention to enter into a controversy through your paper, neither does the writer intend to reply to anything that may be said or written in denial of the following facts, and I expect to hear of denials as many statements that have been made have been denied already.A good deal has been said and written about the so-called evangelist, Emanuel Jones, and the blame laid upon the Adventists for the division caused thereby, and especially on the Ayer\u2019s Cliff church, and it is a fact that he was invited into the church by certain members.Now the truth is that Mr.Jones claimed to be a Baptist when he came into the locality.Regardless of whatever his religious views may be, hes not a member of the Adventist body.Neither is he recognized by them as a body, nor his mode of evangelism, his actions, nor his abusive language approved of or endorsed by them; which things have caused the division and rows and not straight bible preaching as we hear stated.It was plaic to be seen at Beebe camp meeting that he was not recognized by the body, as be was not invited to take any part whatever, much in contrast to the hearty welcome extended to Rev.Mr.Smith, pastor of the Methodist Charch at Be- be, by the president of the camp meeting association, Rev.G.H, Wallace of Lawrence, Mass.Yet there are certain members of the denomination as well as others of other denominations who have been misled by him and who follow him and stand by him, and fellowship him as one of them, thus helping on the division which bas been started.And it is those who follow him and who invited him into the church that have caused thereby the whole denomination to be blamed for it, which is an erroneous idea as the body never knew him before and have nothing to do with him now.The writer thinks it would be well for all Christians to follow St.Paul's advice to the Romans, \u2018\u2018Mark them that cause division , , .and avoid them.\u201d Rom.186, 17.Kindly thanking you for so much space in your paper and our old

and unimportant as one might imagine, as i$ fell to the lot of one of our citizens to be honored with an important commission in connection with the week\u2019s festivities.Col.Charles E.Nelson as chief of Governor Prouty\u2019s staff, was detailed as special escort of the French Ambassador from Washington to the various points and throughout the .Week\u2019s program.The Col.reported in Washington for duty Monday the 6th.He lunched with M.and Mme Jusseraud, at the French Embassy Monday afternoon, a very formal but pleasantly interesting affair, for he found his charge, the Ambassador and Madame very cordial and kindly.The party came in the special car, Plymouth Rock to Albany, where they were joined by President Taft, Gov.Hughes of New York and Secy.of War Dickenson and third assistant Secy of state, Phillips, each in their special car, making with the full complement of escorts, aids and secretaries one of the most important trains that ever visited a state on any occasion.Tne itinerary was first to Fort Ti- condaroga, where a very interesting program was observed, then to historical Crown Point and to Plattsburg;.here a very elaborate program was carried out.Hon.Smith M.Weed gave a very elaborate luncheon and everything was on a large scale, but it lacked in the careful attention to every detail that obtained on this side of the lake.The great day of

were wonderful and gorgeous and every detail of the Vermont program was carried out without any friction and it reflected great credit upon the Governor and his staff.In commenting on the events of the week, Col.Nelson gave his impressions of the different men who contributed to its importance and success; evidently the critics of Gov.Prouty are forced to admit that he is one of the best business Governors Vermont has ever had and though his courtesy and marked executive ability has become a national figure as a champion of good government and progress.The Canadians were ably represent- kind ed by the Postmaster General Lem- ieux, and Premier Gouin of Quebec.The regiment of Canadian guard and the Scotch band were fine and interesting features and this was the first time that Canadian troops were ever reviewed by a president of the United States.Japan was represented by Admiral Urie of the Japanese Navy, a graduate of Annapolis in the class of 1881, The Col.saye he is à very interesting man of brilliant parts.In epeaking of President Taft he said, he was one of our great Presidents, strong and genial, and his hearty, good-natured laugh reminded him of Father Mc- Aully\u2019s salutation.Isle LaMott was the next point made, and here the Boulder was ded- idated by the Daughters of the Revolution and Judge Wendell P.Stafford made his remarkable address.There were many other festivities, such as the luncheon by the Ethan Allen Club, etc.We have reason to be proud of our part in this affair for it is international in importance and we have been honored by the Governor in his calling to euch an important part of one of our citizens.The celebration is one of the stepping stones of progress and closer relations internationally.IF SHE SHOULD TELL.The telephone girl sits still in her chair and listens to voices from every where.She hears all the gossip, she hears all the news, she knows who is happy acd who has the blues, she knows all our sorrows, and knows all our joys; she knows every girl who is chasing the boys, she knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife; she knows every man who ie mean to his|K wife; she knows every time we are |! out with the boys, she hears the excuses each fellow employs, she knows every man who's inclined to be \u201cfast\u201d; in fact there's a secret \u2019neath each saucy curl, of the quiet, demur-looking th telephone girl.If the telephone girl would tell all she knows, it would turn balf our friends into bitterest foes; she would sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail; she could let go a story (which gaining in force) would cause half our wives to sue for a divorce; she could get all the churches mixed up iu a fight and turn all our days into sorrowing night.In fact she could keep the whole town in a stew, if she toid one-tenth part of the things that she knew.Now doesn\u2019t it make your devoted head whir] when you think what you owe to the

9, ° if is La si A GOOD ROADS BOOM.Present impulses Toward Their Building Never Equalled.There has been manifested in the several States of the East and South, the past year, an impulse toward the construction and maintenance of good roads, that has never been equalled in the past and that is likely to grow as the years come and go.In almost every one of the older commonwealths there has been an awakening to the economic value of such improvement.Perhaps the multiplication of automobiles has been one of the impelling causes of this larger movement but the farmers and all others interested in local transportation have caught its epirit, and have come to realize that business as well as pleasure would be promoted by the es tablishment of those conditions toward which it tends.When a husbandman masters the simple calculation that because a span of horses can draw twice as much over a good road as a poor one he is therefore gotting twice as much service at no additional expense, he is pretty sure to give his approval and support to the enterprise.; Almost every State along the Atlantic slope has taken action within the past year looking to the betterment of its highways.Although Massachusetts has been a leader in this re spect for a number of years, the new distribution of a percentage of the appropriation made for this purpose among the small towns is bound to show material improvement in a very short time.It will not give all sec tions such roads as the highway commission constructs for demonstration purposes, yet it will inevitably raise the general standard and stimulate local interest to a larger extent in this form of improvement.New Hampshire has projected a decided advance in this respect by taking steps to build three trunk highways through the State.New York has bonded her self for millions for a like purpose and the result will doubtless promote her internal interests to a greater extent than her barge canal and at a much earlier date.By much pressure the governor of Pennsylvania succeeded in having authority given by the recent Legislature for the construction of a great highway between the principal cities of the State, representing the eastern and western halves.With her comparatively limited resources, Muryland has appropriated millions for this purpose and in con- Junction with West Virginia has arranged for a highway that will be a revelation to the people of those States.Similar action, even 12 on a less extended scale, might be instanced in other States, but, comparatively speaking, Georgia seems to have girded up her loins for the most signifl- cant advance in the whole sisterhood.Saw Dust Roads in Florida.They are making roads of sawdust mixed with earth on a new plan in Leon County.Two ridges of earth are thrown up with a road machine at the required width from each other and the space between is filled with a six-inch bed of sawdust.This is followed with a smaller machine which plows up and mixes the earth with the sawdust.This makes a roadbed on which the tires of the heaviest loaded vehicles make no impression.The contractor, G.H.Averitt, has kept &n accurate account of expenses in connection with this section of sawdust and earth road and says the cost aggregates $297 a mile, showing it to be about the cheapest road material in use.It may be suggested that sawdust is not a durable material but the True Democrat meets this objection with the statement that one or two roads were constructed in a south Georgia county 30 years ago, and are still in good condition, showing the durability.As ls well known, Leon County soil is clayey.\u2014 Florida Times Union.Bad Roads a Tax.Bad roads are an extravagance that no farming community can afford.Just what they cost in unnecessary expense it takes but a moment to determine.A team and driver is reasonably worth $3.00 a day, and by the use of these it is possible to deliver to mar ket, from your home, 100 bushels of corn.Hauling over good roads, the cost of delivery is three cents per bushel.But, if in consequence of bad roads but fifty bushels can be delivered, the cost is doubled and the difference is what the impassable ronds cost you.Continue this calcula tion, applying it to the hauling of all of your crops and !t quickly be comes apparent that it amounts to a very burdensome tax.The French Method.\u2018The excellence of the French road is due not to the superior quality of the material used in their comstruc tion, as the same materials exist most everywhere, or to the perfection of the French method of construction, for their roads are built according to the Maosdam plan, which is also APPLES AND SHRIMP PILAU.A Dish which Stands at the Heed of - American Viande.\u201cMost people will agree,\u201d says the New York World, \u201cthat the apple is the king of fruits.It is good to eat as it comes from the tree.It can be prepared in many ways for the table.Pressed by the old-fashioned process it makes a superior beverage.It is more than merely healthful.To many people it is an appetizer, a relish, a food and a medicine all in one.\u201d This is another way of saying that the apple is to the fruit kingdom what the shrimp is to the shelifish kingdom.The shrimp has all these advantages except one; it cannot be pressed into a beverage, but the probihitionists are about to deprive the apple of that vir tue.In the mean time the shrimp pilau, when composed of South Caro lina rice and Charleston shrimp, stands at the head of American dishes.It 1s a dainty beyond compare.It is cheap.It is filling.It is nourishing.For eight months in the year a man may \u201clive like a lord\u201d on shrimp pilau alone.Ways of Raising Money for Charity.The method of raising money for charities by such means as the cone ferring of decorative coat labels on \u201ctag day,\u201d is not altogether original.From times immemorial in China a donation of 20,000 taels to charity has secured for the donor the much-prized peacock\u2019s feather, while for half that sum a title of nobility is conferred on one's ancestors to the third genera tion.The late emperor of Brazil fol lowed the same method when erecting a hospital in Rio de Janeiro.Having found a difficulty in obtaining the neo- essary funds, he announced that the title of \u201cbaron\u201d was to be conferred on every subscriber of 10,000 milrels, and that of \u201ccount\u201d on subscribers of 250,000 milreis.This announcement produced the desired effect, and the hospital was soon completed.The opening ceremony was performed by the emperor, and attended by a large number of the newly ennobled, who did not altogether relish the words inscribed in letters of gold on the gable of the new building, \u201cHuman Vanity to Human Misery.\u201d Weaith in Peat.The promise held forth by a great installation in northwest Germany, for the utilization of the immense peat.bogs that exist there, leads to the suggestion in England that the huge Bog of Allen in Ireland may next become a great center of industry.The German undertaking contemplates the bringing of a large part of the bogs under cultivation, together with the conversion of the peat into fuel, to be employed in the development of electrical energy for agricultural purposes, as well as for supplying light and power to a number of towns situated within a radius of 50 miles.A network of canals Is to be formed, to drain the ground, and the peat dredged out is to be utilized in the way just described.It is estimated that the gas produced from the peat will furnish work to the amount of 600 horse-power hours for each ton, and a large quantity of ammonia will be re covered for use as manure.Pretty Slow.Horace L.Moore was lieutenant col onel of the noted Nineteenth Kansas cavalry.He could lead men for a longer period without rest, on a single ration of cheerful good humor, than any other officer.Though not given to jokes, he was the reputed author of as many astonishers as Lincoln.One time on the march, he sent an orderly with a message to an officer at some distance.Before the man was out of hearing Moore shouted: \u201cHey, orderly! Come back here?\u201d He came galloping back, sitting imply in the saddle.Moore dropped his voice, and as suming a half-confidential manner inquired: \u201cOrderly, in the course of your life have you ever seen a snail?® \u201cYes, sir,\u201d was the astonished reply.\u201cYou met him, then,\u201d replied Moore, \u201cfor you'd never overtake one!\"\u2014Kan- sas City Journal.High Prices of

of a Swarm-Catohing Cage In a Honey-Yard.As it is getting toward the season of the year when the beekeepers will seek to make certain appliances for next season's use, I take pleasure in showing a useful device which almost any one can make, says E.R.Root, in Bee Culture.It is neither more nor less than a wire-cloth cage of sufi- clent size to slip over the largest hive in the yard.Wire cloth or mosquito netting is nailed onto a light frame work of the construction shown.It sometimes happens that a colony is suddenly attacked by robbers.A cage like this can be set down over the hive, trap all the robbers, and prevent any more from getting in at .the entrance.The inmates of the hive will, if outside, cluster around the outside of the cage.It may be left over the colony until night, when the robbers may be destroyed or taken to an outyard; for to let these bees loose back into the same yard will only invite trouble for the next day.A Useful Appliance for the Bep Yard, But we have used the cage to very good advantage in catching swarms Just coming out.One or two of them are kept handy in the yard; and if a ewarm is seen coming out, one of these cages is clapped immediately over the hive from \"which it 1s coming.Even if some of the bees have gone out they will soon come back and cluster around outside while the rest of their companfons are cluster ed inside.In the drawing here shown it will bg observed that the swarm is oluster- ed on top of the cage.As soon as they are all out, the cage and all is picked up at the intersection of the crosspieces at the top, set over the hive ready to receive them, when the cage is given a jounce on the ground.A little later on it is given another bump until the bees have entered their new home.Of course, this method of catching & swarm just as it is coming out is not new; but sometimes old things need to be resurrected until prospeo- tive users begin to see their value.This cage is one of the new old devices that should be made up for next season's use.It may not be necessary to have such a cage where comb and extracted honey are produced; but if one is rearing queens he must not harbor in the yard any bees that have acquired the robbing habit, as they will be a continual annoyance to the aplarist and to the working colonies throughout the entire season.Ants In Hives, A good way to catch the ants In hives is to soak a sponge in honey (dilute the honey with water, as then it will better enter the pores of the sponge) and put it where they can get at it.When the sponge is full of ants throw it into boiling water, and repeat.; The best way to keep ants from troubling 1s to find and destroy them in their nests.This work must be done at dusk in the evening, to get all of the inmates of a nest.Pouring boiling water over the nest will kill & great many, but it hardly will get them all.The most effective way is by using the drug bisulphide of carbon.Make three or four holes in the nest with a thin stick, then pour in the liquid.The holes must be quickly closed with earth, to prevent the drug from evaporating and reducing its ef- Yectiveness.About an ounce will be enough for a nest.The carbon changes to a gas that penetrates all parts of the nest, and is deadly to all animal life.Be very careful when using the drug not to have fire of any kind near.The carbon is violatile, and the resulting gas will explode with great Violence, the same as does gasolene.Don't let any one with a lighted pipe or cigar approach when using it.As there is not much call for it, the bisul- phide of carbon is not always carried by druggists.Then kerosene or gasolene can be used in the same way, but about four or five times as much must be used for a nest.Honey Selis on Its Looks.A very few broken combs, if cased, will make a dauby mass, as the honey will cover much of the case bottom and drip through, thus disgusting all who may in any way handle the honey.Bear in mind that comb honey sells from fits lapks more than anything else, and the nicer the appear ance the better price it will bring, The honey should be piled a few inches off the floor, and a little out from the wall, otherwise that near the bottom and side of the room will , accumulate moisture from want of oir culation of air.Honey that is sealed will stand much more dampness and nou-cisoulation than will that whieh je sasealed.A BLIND PHYSICIAN.His Specialty is the Chest, so He Needs Ears More Than Eyes.There is at least one physician in New York who manages to do excel lent work and maintain himself well without the use of his eyes.He is totally blind.He has chosen for his specialty diseases of the chest, into which of course the best eyes in the world couldn\u2018t see.Ome of the compensations of nature has given him unusual ly acute hearing, which 1s especially valuable in his practice.His ears can find out more about the lungs of bis patients than those of most seeing men.Chinese Ideas.You seldom see a Chinaman bereft of an arm, leg, or other member of his body.The reason for this 1s that Orientals have a profound objection to surgical operations.They much prefer to die than lose a member, Their idea is that, having come Into the world with a certain number.of fingers, thumbs, arme, and legs, they must go out with the same number.Otherwise, when on the other side they might be sent back to search for the missing member, only to be eternally looking for it.In denistry the Chinese have reached the discovery that the nerve is a worm, and that the best method of treating an aching tooth is to loosen it by driving in wedges, 50 that the worm may escape, \u2014Young People\u2019s Weekly.Rat Skin Industry.The crusade which England recent ly instituted against rats has resulted in the establishment of many new ine dustries.In London alone the value of the new industries now exceed $200,000 a year.Among the many other usages to which the skins are put, they are employed for bookbinding, photograph frames, purses, and for tne thumbs of ladies\u2019 gloves.A new branch of work is likely to increase the consumption largely, and as much as 75 to 90 cents a day have been earned by the unemployed in Denmark last year, when the rat act was passed.The damage done by rats in England alone is estimated to amount to many million dollars per annum, and thelr capture already occupies a large number of persons.Sleeping in Tents.Since it became generally known that sleeping in the open air is a guod remedy for tuberculosis, many people have adopted the practice of sleeping in tents in the summer.But sleeping in a tent is far different from sleeping in the open air.In fact, many people who sleep in houses come nearer being in the open air than do those who occupy tents.A canvas room 8 by 10 feet, with sides close to the ground and the front closed, is not as airy a place as an ordinary bedroom 12 or 15 feet square, and with doors and windows open.It may be all right to sleep in a closed tent, but don\u2019t deceive yourself into believing that you are sleeping in the open air when you do it.Manicuring a Horse.A horse's hoof is really the same thing as the toe or finger nails of hue man beings, or of animals having toes.The hoof grows just as a toe nall does and more rapidly» on unshod horses than on those wearing shoes.Its growth {8 much faster on horses that are well groomed and well fed, upon an average of a third of an inch a month.The hind hoofs grow faster than the fore hoofs.The toe of the hoof being the longest part it takes longer for it to grow down there than at the heel.The new hoof grows out any cracks or defects in the whole, gradually working down to where it can be cut off, just as with human fine ger nafls.High Finance.Two men, miserably clad, called on the dean of a medical college in New York.\u201cWe are both on the verge of star vation, sir,\u201d the spokesman said.\u201cWe are well on in years and it is clear that we haven't much longer to live, Would you care to purchase our bodies for your dissecting room?\u201d The dean hesitated.\u201cIt 1s an odd proposition,\u201d he mut tered.\u201cBut it is occasionally done,\u201d sald the spokesman in an eager voice, \u201cWell,\u201d said the dean, \u201cwe might arrange it.What price do you ask?\" \u201cOver in Philadelphia,\u201d sald the spokesman, \u201cthey

Keep it up comrades! Cut into him! Let him know who is master!\u201d They heard the shrieks grow more feeble and at last only a low moan.Then the terrified listeners caught the words: \u201cStop, we've finished him.\u201d There was silence, and then came the words: \u201cHe's dead; the devil take him.\u201d Soon the Assistant Governor, a smart young man in an officer's uniform, arrived to see if the torturers had done their work properly.When he saw the prisoner lying apparently dead he began to swear at the jailers for killing him \u201cwithout orders.\u201d Seeing that the tortured man still breathed he ordered him sent to the hospital.When he was sufficiently recovered he was sent back to his cell, where he was beaten almost every day.The jallers were often heard to taunt him and to say: \u201cYou won't live long.\u201d News filters slowly from a Russian prison to the outer world.Only now have these horrors come to light, although they took place last September.Persons who are thought to require special discipline are sent to the Orel Central prison from other convict prisons, in order to be \u201ccorrected\u201d or, as the prisoners themselves say, to be murdered.M.Pavloff made representations to the authorities as to the existing state of affairs when he left the prison to go into exile in Siberia.He was told that an inquiry would be made.The promise has not been kept.SOCIAL SLAVERY.Mrs.Howard Gould Could not Dress Properly on $40,000 a Year.New York City.\u2014Mrs.Howard Gould's admission that she \u201ccould not dress properly on less than $40,000 a year\u201d 1s interesting as showing how severe are the sartorial obligations which the possession of wealth {m- poses on women.Under this gilded martyrdom to fashion she was obliged to change her costumes three times a day at Palm Beach\u2014*\"lingerie, gowns, shoes, hats, parasols and all\u2019\u201d\u2014not because of an extravagant taste but merely because \u201cit 1s bad form to wear a gown twice \u201cMrs.Howard Gould.in one place.\u201d Moreover, by the une written law of smart social usages her Palm Beach trousseau was wholly unavailable at the St.Regis.Her gowns were \u201cno good\u201d after she had once worn them, and to reappear in them at a New York hotel would be in viola tion of the proprieties of dress.They were equally worthless at Castle Gould, where the conditions of life on a country estaté demanded gowns to correspond.There should be commiseration rather than criticism for those whose slavery 1s none the less real because the bonds are of lace and chiffon.PHOSPHORESCENT SNAKE, \u2014 Reptile Gives Of Glowing Light When In a Dark Place.Richmond, Va.\u2014Morgan Gordon, \u20ac farmer of Henrico County, brought te the City Hall, a sixdnch worm or snake on which were scales.When the worm was taken into the darkness of the city vaults its body Slowed like a string of pearls, the light being sufficient to enable the offi cials to recognize one another in the darkness of the vault.The thing seemed to be harmless, though an op Rortunity to sting or bite was not af SHOE POLISH BRIGHT AND INSTANTANEOUS One application\u2014two rubs\u2014and your shoes are shined for three days.\u201c2 in 1\u201d softens the leather\u2014 keeps out moisture\u2014won\u2019t stain the clothes\u2014and emancipates you from bottles, mops, brushes and hard work.No substitute even half as good.10c.and 25c.Tins 210 ! \u201cTO CLOSE OUT AT COST\u201d | 18 Childrens\u2019 Sailor Suits 3 to 7 gos regular price $3.50 to close at $2.65 20 Childrens\u2019 Sailor Suits 3 to 7 years, regular price $2.80 to close at $1.80 All of our Childrens\u2019 50 cts.and 75 cts.Wash Suits will be closed our for the balance of the season at 38 cents and 55 cents.GILMORE\u2019S Busy Store Specials 267 Pairs Men\u2019s Pants bought from the Rock Island Overall Co.Are of good quality and thoroughly made, worth at least to wear out $2.00 Special $1.25 per Pair.190 pairs Men\u2019s Pants bought from the Rock Island Overall Co., and sell regular at $1.00 and $1.25, while they last our special price 78c.400 Fancy Shirts, samples and jobs, worth 75c., 81.00 and $1.25 each, our special price 49c.100 Jumpers and Overalls, assorted, worth 75c.and 90c.each, while they last our price 48c.$2.50 Heavy Red Farmers Shoes, the best made, regular price all over Province $2.50 and $2.25.We sell at special price $1.82.All special items for cash; Produce wanted and as good as cash in exchange for goods.After June ist no credits given.F.W.D.MELLOON.Wagons!

Neither .She Nor the World Be Better.By Charlotte Perkins Gilman.The woman of fifty, whose children have all grown up and left her, is likely to think that her work is over and her life done, but her life is, on the contrary, just beginning.She 1s not so taken up with being a8 woman now, and can realize at last her individual character.Heretofore her personality has been submerged In the great common experience of love, marriage and maternity.Bhe may have had any one of a dozen talents in other lines, but neither she nor the world is the better for it.She may have preferred other occupations; she may have particularly disliked this one; but neither capacity, preference nor distaste made any difference.A wife and mother, she must also be a nurse and housekeeper for better or worse.: One wonders sometimes, noting the wide difference in housekeeping and In child culture, whether that \u201cbetter or worse\u201d clause was not put in on account of them.If it is \u2018better,\u2019 the family is more comfortable; if it is \u201cworse,\u201d the family is more uncomfortable; but, whichever it is, the woman must spend all her young years at it, and personality slumbers.Is there any left when one is fifty?Is not the remainder a mere shell\u2014a husk or a remnant of what was once a woman, all her womanhood accomplished?That's what we have always thought.We have peacefully taken it for granted that she who had so patiently obliberated herself in the interests of her family should stay obliterated on general principles for all the rest of her life.There fs no reason why the woman of fifty should stay obliterated.She has ten, twenty, thirty years still to live, and in ten years of well directed effort, free from the blunders and backsteps of youth, what may she not do?\u201cOnce disentangled from the clinging mounds of domestic habit, she finds, to her intense surprise, a fountain of youth .springing up within her.She can employ the green earth as much as she ever did; more, if her soul has grow ever did; more, if her soul has grown.She can take up some trade or business If she wants money\u2014something perhaps, along the line that has previously occupled her.She can travel if she can afford it, study if she has time and wishes to go in for some kind of public work, If that appeals to her, or she may simply \u201cloaf\u201d for a while and \u201cInvite her soul.\u201d And what of the family?Is nothing to be lost by the emancipation of a budding grandmother?Will John at sixty-five object to these new courses?There will be no difficulty about any of these things.To say the truth tyrant man is not half so black as he is painted.Neither is he as rapturously content with the average wife and mother as the poets and some novelists would have us belleve.There fs room for a cheerful hope that the man of fifty-five will spend the rest of .,his days quite as comfortably with the active, happy, useful, growing woman that is in watching the gradual decadence and extinction of the woman who was.A Successful Housekeeper.A woman to be a successful housekeeper needs to be devoid of intensive \u201cnerves.\u201d She must be neat and systematic, but not too neat, lest she destroy the comfort she endeavors to create.She must be affectionate, sympathetic and patient, and fully appre- clative of the worth and dignity of her sphere.Now, if a woman cannot broil a beef steak, nor boil the coffee when it is necessary, if she canpot mend the linen, nor patch a coat; if she cannot make a bed, nor ventilate the house, nor do anything practical in the way of making a home actually a home, how can she expect to be a successful housekeeper.She needs to educate herself in the art of domestic virtues, to make a real \u201cHome, Sweet Home.\u201d She should have a place for everything and keep everything in its place.Remember and put in practice the motto, \u201cNever put off \u2018till to-morrow that which you can do to-day.\u201d Thus the poorest dwelling presided over by a virtuous, thrifty, cheerful and cleanly woman, may be the abode of comfort, virtue and happiness; ft may be endeared to man by many delightful associations, furnishing a sweet resting place after labor, a consolation in misfortune, 8 pride in prosperity and a joy at all times.A Delicious Icing.Put on 8 cup of granulated sugar with half a cup of water, let it boil without stirring until it spins a heavy thread.Beat very stiff the white of one 88 and into it pour slowly the hot sugar.Let the syrup cool s little before putting it in the egg or it will cook it.Beat steadily uatil the icing 1s cool and creamy.Just before it is too cold to stir longer add one ounce each of candied cherries, chopped citron, candied pinea sad

by the Ruse sian Academy of Medicine, and it ig found to contain many valuable truths that have heen discovered and redis covered by modern physicians.A few extracts from the ancient volume are given: \u201cNumber of bones in the human body, 360; number of nerves, 99; number of pores, 11,000,000.\u201d \u201cThe heart is the king of the organs and the staff of life.The lungs embrace it not unlike à mother would a child.\u201d \u201cIllnesses are due to man's malice, ignorance and inability to curb the passions, for these things interere with the proper nourishment of the human organs.\u201d \u201cAll unkind thoughts react upon the heart and liver.\u201d Methods for ascertaining the condition of a person's health were much like those that are used to-day\u2014feel ing of the pulse and looking at the tongue, taking the temperature, eto.In those days the law imposed fines upon surgeons and physicians who did not keep their instruments clean.Vegetable medicines were advocated; also the bath, compresses, massage, etc.Early Telescopes.It appears, according to facts col lected by Mr.Arthur Mee, that Thomas Harriot, the English astronomer, born in 1560, made telescopes perhaps contemporaneous with the the first instruments of Galileo.The very first telescope seems to have been made fn Holland in 1608.The next year Galileo heard of the discovery, and after writing for information, began his own experiments.In the same year Harriot had one or two of the Dutch telescopes sent to him, and immediately began improvements on his own account.It appears that he made a considerable number, and Mr.Mee suggests that some may yet be found tn some of the older colleges, or mansions, in England.It is said that Harriot's }Jast and best \\pisaepe was nearly twice as powerful ad best made by Galileo.Long before, Harriot had been in Virginia, and there employed, in surveying, a \u201cper spective glass.\u201d It would be very in teresting to know just what his per spective glass was, Who Columbus Was.In the afternoon in all the schools a part of the time was devoted to the study of the life and deeds of Columbus.An amusing reply was given by one of the pupils.A teacher had told the class of the wonderful voyage of Columbus and how he insisted on continuing the voyage after the other men were clamoring to return.Then she asked: \u201cWho was Columbus?\u201d with the view of hearing how well they had followed her talk.One little hand went up.\u201cWell, Johnny, who was he?\u201d asked the teacher.\u201cColumbus was the gem of the ocean.\u201d Cause for Reflection.\u201cThe editor of my paper,\u201d declared the newspaper business manager to a little coterie of friends, \u201cis a peculiar genius.Why, would you believe it, when he draws his weekly salary he keeps out only one dollar for spending money and sends the rest to his wife in Indianapolis!\u201d His listeners\u2014with one exception, who sat silent and reflective\u2014gave vent to loud murmurs of wonder and admiration.\u201cNow, it may sound thin,\u201d added the speaker, \u201cbut it ts true, nevertheless.\u201d \u201cOh, I don\u2019t doubt it at all!\u201d quickly rejoined the quiet one.\u201cI was only wondering what he does with the do} lar!\u201d\u2014Ladies\u2019 Home Journal.The Craze for Speed.Those mighty ocean steamers, like the Lusitania, the Mauretania, and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which rush across the sea at the rate of thir ty miles an hour, burn up a thousand tons of coal aplece every day.It re quires five thousand tons to drive one of them across the Atlantic at that high speed.At a moderate speed, less than half that amount would de, but our century is gone speed crazy.On steamships, on railroads, on auto biles, we must have speed, and sacrifice everything to it, even human lives.Everybody is mad to \u201cget there,\u201d whether he has any business \u201cthere\u201d or not.\u2014Boy Life.Enemies of the Rubber Tree.A great deal of attention bas re oently been given to the cultivation of rubber, on account of the continual ly increasing demand for it.Prot Francis B.Lloyd points out that \u201cthe inevitable struggle of man with nat ure\u201d has already manifested itself in this new fleld.Already a considers- ble number of parasitic enemies have been discovered, \u201cwhose energies appear to be largely concentrated upon cultivated rubber-trees.\u201d It is an other problem for science to deal with.Eleotricity ao a Carrier.Does an electric current, when pass ing through a metal conductor, cause any transportation of particles?It ts well known that it does so in the Before \u2018\u2018the bee sucks,\u201d as Ariel put it, he must find the wonderful places where the flowers hide away thelr honey, to be found like the priests\u2019 hiding holes in ancient man~ sions, by the right sort of visitor, and to keep away all intruders.In the recesses of the crown imperial lily at the centre can be seen six large honey pits, one on every floral leaf, and each is brimming over with a big drop of honey and glistening like a tear drop.Shake the flower and it \u201cweeps\u201d as the big drops fall from it, soon te be replaced by other tears in the rapidly secreting flower.The simple folk call the flower \u2018Job's tears.\u201d The snowdrop ts literally flowing with honey, for In swollen veins traversing its fragile whiteness are rivers of nectar.The petals of the columbine are ingeniously and elaborately designed with a view to providing good places of hiding for the honey.Each is circular, hollow, shaped like a horn.In each the honey is secreted in a round knob at what would be the mouthpiece end of the horn, and the five are arranged In a ring side by side with the honey knobs aloft.Though the honey store 1s obvious from without, yet the insects who would stp it must creep into the flower and penetrate with a long nose up the curving horn to the knob.Sometimes the petals are all joined together into a tube and the sweet nectar simply exudes from the inner side of the wall and collects at the bottom.This is the case in the dead nettle, the tube of which forms so toothsome a morsel that some children call it \u2018\u2018suckles.\u201d The honeysuckle is similarly planned, and its sweetness is so striking as to bave furnished its name.The monkshood has quaint nes taries.If the hood be drawn back there sudden)y spring into sight two objects on long stalks which are sometimes like a French horn, sometimes ltke a cowl, or, looked at sideways, not unlike a pair of doves.Their presence within the hood has provided the nicknames \u201cAdam and Eve\u201d and \u2018*Noah's Ark.\u201d Thus the honey bags are carefully tucked away and protected.County Larger Than State.Although the New England states are small, the average size of the counties is greater than in most of the middle, western and southern states.Worcester county, in Massachusetts, is an example of an eastern county that ls at the same time large In area and very populous.It is larger than the adjoining state of Rhode Island.Dishonest Herotnes.The steady Increase of crime among stage heroines is beginning to get serious.It used to be the men who did all or most of the dreadful things in plays- I mean the picking and stealing the forging and embezzling and offenses of that kind.Now it is the women\u2014and it {8 all the fault of the late Henrik Ibsen.Heaven rest his soul, notwithstanding.\u2014 M.A.P.Fine Language.As 8 rule the educated native of West Africa like his Indian brother, loves highflown language.A clerk some time ago sent a report complaining that the carbines of the police at his station often misfired; this is how he put it: \u201cIt is ridiculous to report that the firearms of the police, whon pointed at the firmament, refuse to give explosive sound.\u201d Sticking to Facts.Little Miss Margaret is nothing if not literal.To her, a well-known sound upon her ear, a simple sound is unto her, and It means nothing more.Consequently when she was asked in a store whither she and another small friend had been taken for a treat, \u201cWill you have & chocolate sundae?\u201d Miss Margaret replied with decided emphasis: \u2018\u2019No\u2019m, I°11 have ît now!\u201d Southern California Fish.The shellfish known as abalone abounds in southern California water in quantities sufficient to export at the rate of hundreds of tons per an- num.A market for any amount could easily be found in China, where the natives consider it a great delicacy.It used to be dried for the market, but is now being canned.Scarcity of Humor.It 1s to be feared that if the papers reserved a special corner once each week for the witticism of the week it would be often left blank.There is no wit to speak of to-day, only a feeble imitation of it which people are fond of calling the saving sense of humor.Had Small Brain.A healthy, regularly-formed brain of 94 ounces, scarcely half of the normal average, seems to have deen the smallest ever recorded for an adult.It was recently found in Dan- fol Ryan, s New York coachman, who died suddenly at the age of 46.Tea a Germ Destroyer.Tea is now elevated to the dignity of a germ destroyer.Dr.McNaught, the medical investigator, has found that typhoid acilli placed in cold or lukewarm tea are greatly diminished at the end of four hours, and have completely disappeared at the ead of 36 hours Chaplain\u2014What, my poor fellow, was the first step that led to embes- zlement?- Prisoner\u2014Reading the newspaper over commuters\u2019 shoulder.UNCIVIL SERVICE.\u201cI do not see how my application for appointment under the Good Government Administration can be re jected, In view of my services.\u201d \u201cWhat

to be strictly looked after when either money or goods are entrusted to him.A mistress cannot go into her kitchen, consult the cook as to what the meals should be and what should be ordered from the shops and leave the rest to him.She has to give him out from her locked up stores every spoonful of everything that is required for the day's cooking, else the goods would be sold outside.The dusters, the name in India for every description of kitchen and antry and stable towel, have to be oled out every day or every two days, the soiled ones being counted and locked up till they are given to the dhobi (washerman), who must not be allowed to keep-the clothes of the household longer than is absolutely necessary or he will let them out to his friends for small sums\u2014 silk handkerchiefs for feast daye, stockings and woolen undergarments in the cold weather, so that holes appear in unaccustomed places.A khitmatgar (table servant) will be observed to wear a pair of cotton socks one day, silk ones the next, woolen ones the next, not belonging to his master\u2014detection would be too easy In that case\u2014but hired from some one else's dhobi at a pice (a farthing) a pair.As the house servants of course never wear shoes indoors the stockings suffer considerably.The cook goes to the bazaar every morning to buy meat, fish, ghie (native butter), vegetables\u2014all the food in fact that cannot be stored, and his book is brought for inspection every day or else expenses would increase in a surprising manner.He of course pockets a percentage on all he spends, and so long as it does not exceed an anna in the rupee, 63% per cent, no one objects.But it is only by long experience that one gets to know proper prices, and newcomers are woefully imposed upon, 100 or 300 per cent.being often charged.The cook arranges his prices to suit the circumstanced of his master, and as soon as promotion with increased pay comes up goes everything, s0 that a Colonel's beef or mutton costs more than a Major's, 8 Major's than a Captain's, a Captain\u2019s than a subaltern\u2019s, though there may be no change at all in the style of living or in the number of the family.In the civil service the same thing happens.The pay of every post in the various services is published in the official lists, and the servants Know to a halfpenny what their master gets.Some ladies try to do their own marketing, but things are always much dearer for them than for the natives in the bazaar, so that there is no advantage in it, and it is, besides, \u2018 extremely disagreeable, for the less one sees of the stalls there, partieulariy the most stalls, the bet- ton .- 3 SHE WAS CALLED \u201cPOOR THING\" Had as Way of Sitting Silently at Her Work, Listening.Pity is certainly a kindly sentiment; nevertheless it can be so bestowed as to cast a doubt upon its right to a place among the virtues.There was an oJd-time seamstress of East Hentley who, if words were all, was beyond doubt the most tenderhearted person in the village; indeed, her favorite expression of compassion had finally passed into a nickname for herself.She was known behind her back as \u2018Poor Thing.\u201d Poor Thing was not much of a talker.She had a way of sitting silently bent over her work, always with a mouth full of pins, listening to what other people had to say.Only at the end of the conversation would she extract her pins long enough to contribute her share.Perhaps the speakers had been eulogizing the abilities of a noted housekeeper.\u2018Yes, poor thing!\u2018 she would sigh.\u2018Fortunate, now, isn't it, she can turn her mind to preserves and pickles and ple-baking, the way she does.She couldn't take much comfort in her children, that's sure\u2014 forth-putting, rampageous creturs.1 s\u2019pose it's a compensation.\u201d Or the beauty of some blooming young girl would have received a tribute of praise.\u201cShe's real pretty-appearing,\u201d the seametress would agree, mournfully, \u201cShe certainly 1is\u2014but then those delicate-featur'd, l1ight-complected folks never keep their looks more\u2019n a few years.She'll fade right out before she's twenty-five, poor thing!\u201d Again, the prosperity of a nelsh- boring farmer was discussed and his ability admired.\u201cDrivers, both of \u2018em\u2014Mirandy and he,\u201d she would agree, promptly.\u201cI don't doubt they've earned every mite of it.I never knew such folks for driving.There ain't any loafing \u2018round their place, nor any resting, either.My land, but they keep things moving! 1 can tell you they make the children step lively about chores.1 dare say it's good for \u2018em, or it would be if they weren't so little\u2014but there, I can't help pity- \u2018em, poor things!\u201d Poor Thing was a good worker, but she never became popular with her fellow villagers, which, considering her concern over all their woes and failings, was rather hard on her-\u2014poor thing! ELECTRIO EGG BEATER.Much Time and Labor Saved by This Invention.Electricity having been used for almost every purpose under the sun, now it has recently been harnessed up by a Jersey City man to beat eggs.In any hotel or bakery where eggs are used in large quantities and where they require beating as for a cake, this electric beater will be a welcome addition.It not only saves much hard work-\u2014for beating eggs ELECTRIC EGG BEATER.is no child\u2019s play\u2014but it does the job better and much more expedit- fously than it can be done by hand.Like most electrical devices it is a case of you press the button and the machine does the rest.The beater consists of a vertical support, with an arm holding the egg-beater shaft.Below this is an adjustable bracket, provided with a bowl in which the eggs are placed.By pressing the button the beater revolves swiftly in the bowl and as the power and speed of the stroke does not vary the eggs are beaten with unusual consistency.\u2014Washington Star.Baby's Bath.Theoretically every mother ought to have a thermometer to test the baby\u2019s bath water; obviously everyone does not.However, it is manifestly unsafe to rely on the time- honored method of testing with the hand, as much infantile discomfort, even real injury, may result from the practice.A good substitute for the thermometer is the mother\u2019s bared elbow applied to the water.Not being accustomed to extremes of heat and cold, as is the hand, the flesh of the elbow responds quickly to the slightest change of temperatures from blood heat, thus indicating the degree of warmth required.Society of Whales.The Soclety of Whales is a new organization.Every young wife In town belongs and the title of the so- clety is taken from the faith a bride has in her husband.Ste would believe him if he asid he saw a whele swimming up Commercial street.After she has been married for a few monthe she drops from the club.| mr r 2 WATCH 2 FOR OUR # | | 2 S IN NEXT 2 j WEEK'S Mm © PAPER 0 REDUCTION \u2014ON\u2014 CLOTHING Still More SHOES Walk-Over Oxfords None better made at any price.Queen Quality Shoes for Ladies.A.A.LAMOREY DO IT NOW!
