The new school which will be entirely

fireproof and up-to-date in every man

itery and heating systems of any build­

ing of its kind in thia section of the state.

t frame made of gas pipe a small auto en-

I fine with electric batteries ettached as

motor power and the cycle has no peddles.

up a strange machine. The Boys are of­

ten seen seated on their machine with their feet hanging, riding around the

l of Ocean Grove.

Y. At. C. A. Field Meet

Many Entries In Various events For

Annual Meet, Mey 8

From the widespread interest being

shown in the next annual field meet of the

Young Men’s Christian Associations of

Monmouth county, which will be held on

the horse show grounds at Long Branch,

on the afternoon of Saturday, the 8th of,

May, there is every assurance, the weath­

er being favorable, that it will be the best

and largest athletic carnival the county

has seen in a numlter of yeer*a) Entries

are being received from every class of

contestants to whom the meet is open.

The country boy athletes from rural

schools are showing M|>ecial interest and

are manifesting the greatest rivalry for

the Rural School championship. Sunday

schools, grammar schools and military

schools arc also filing their entries, being

eager for the honor of first place in their.

respective contests. The regular associa­

tion events have brought out the best ma­

terial in each community in the county in

which an association has been organised

and the contests for lhe Brakeley cup as

well as for individual aupremecy promise

to be most exciting.

Considerable additionul interest is being

manifested by the fait that there will be

present prominent members of the last

year’s American Olympic team, which

on the Field and Track championship at j

London. These men will give exhibitions

in discus throwing, hammer throwing, high

jumping, pole vaulting and running. This

will be a rare opportunity and will afford to the spectators at the meet an exhibition

equal to that of the Metropolitan cham­

pionship. With such officials as Martin J*

Sheridan for referee, Col. Thomas J. Q ’Donohne as starter, and otheT prominent

men well known in sporting circles, the

best possible treatment and the'best possi­

ble conduct of the same is assured.

Great credit is due to tbe county com- j

mittee and its executive officer, Guy D. j

Gold, County Secretary, for the efficient \ preparation of this carnival of sport. De- j

tailed lists of entries will be announced |

through the public press in the near fu

ture.

County Supt. of Schools

Enforcing; Law in Ocean

County Superintendent of Public Schools

Charles A. Morris, is enforcing the truan­

cy act in Ocean county, with a vigor that

is astounding to the parents of children,

who had heretofore looked upon the law

as a dead letter. Boys and girls who stay

from school are brought before tbe county

courts and given their choice between at­

tending their own school or being com­

mitted to the state reform 6chool.

Since the county superintendent began

his crusade to compel children to attend

school the number of truant officers in

Ocean county hss increased from 1 to 11.

As the state f ind is apportioned largely

on the day's attendance, the increased at­

tendance has added largely to the amounts'

received by local districts from the state

fund.

Postal Receipts at

v Long Branch Postoffice

Postoffice receipts at the Long Branch

postofflce have increased over $8,000 dur­

ing the past five years. During the year

ending March 30th, notwithstanding the

financial depression, there was an Increase

over the previous year of #847.94, in spite

of the fact that many of the postoffices

showed a decrease in business. For 1905

the receipts were $££,595.39, while for

j 1909 they amounted to $30,834.10.

i To secure a first-class poatoflice it is

necessary that the office show a business

of $40,000 annually. Long Branch, at

present, is a little over $9,000 shy. The

city, however, does a business of more

than 140,000, whfcn the receipts trora the

offices at West End and Elberon are add­ed to the total. The combined business

done within the city limits by Long Branch, Station* A and B, West End and

Elberon, amount* to nearly $50,000.

Farmer’a Exchange Makes Tnia fcsti

mate of Local Planting

It is estimated by the manager of the

Monmouth County Farmers' Exchange

that at least 5,000 acre* of land have been

planted ia potatoes this season by mem­

bers of that organisation, and if an aver

age crop reaulta the Farmer's Exchange

will have in the neighborhood of half a

million barrels of potatoes at their dis

posal in the late summer and early fall.

The Exchange will begin next weak ship

ping asparagua for its members, and I

ries add other crops wiU be handled in like

manner in season. About 1*,000 barrels of seed potatoes were aold by the

change to its members this spring and

about $50,000 phosphate business was done <ugh the same organisation. Not all

of the seed potatoes planted by its mem­

bers were purchased through the Ex­

change, and perhaps not half of the phos­

phate business wan done through this chan-

The seed business was done for the

most part, on a cash basis in the Exchange

this year, while independent dealers sell

many seed potatoes ami wait for their

money until the crop is harvested. Tbe

phosphate business is conducted the same way, and it was not until late that the Ex­

change decided to handle phosphate al ail

this year.

one of the large dry goods bouses of New

NATIVE TREES FOR ARBOR DAY

By legislation several American

States have definitely fixed the status

meaning of the term, and now New j

at persons may be punished for boml- j dde.

The Hebrew word “Talmud,” de­

clares the New York 8un, Is defined

in the “Jewish Encyclopedia” as an

old scholastic term of the Tannaim,

or teachers of the oral law, and is a

noun formed from the verb llmmed,

“to teach.” It therefore means pri­

marily “teaching,” although it de­

notes also "learning;” lt is employed

in this latter sense with special ref­

erence to the Torah, the terms "Tal­

mud” and "Torah” being usually

combined to indicate tbe study of tbe

law both In Its wider and in its more

restricted sense.

Is that it ^rould cost an extra hun­

this is not a large sum, in view of the

five hundred thousand which is spent

annually on the Federal Bureau of

Entomology, largely in fighting im­

every year expended in New England

in pursuit of the moth pests alone.

The present plan of the Federal au­

IT Ij always a matter of pride and congratula tlon with us tbat we have the larg­est and finest flora of native trees known to any country ln the world. In view of this fact, It must be ad mltted that we do not always rise to our opportuni­ties. In the East- ern States we see

maples and elms planted everywhere and always; and if there are some poplars added In the Western 8 tates, it 'is chiefly because maples do not succeed there. Elms and maples are unquestionably the best street trees for the Northeastern States, but they do not thrive equally well every­where, and even ln New England there are many other species which do well and which ought to be plant­ed for the sake of variety, if for noth­ing more.

Theae matters ought to be consid­ered at the return of Arbor Day. Children in the schools ought to learn something about tbe great wealth which this country enjoys in its na­tive trees. It is quite as important as to iearn about rivers, railroads and Industries. The tree planting which is done on the school grounds on Arbor Day should be something more than the setting of one elm, or even a row of maple trees. This should be a day for leaving the beaten path and doing something unusual, espe­cially if it be unusually good. Let this be the time for adding to the collections on the school grounds some of those rare and curious trees and shrubs which are beautiful and worthy in themselves, but which on account of their rarity are seldom seen.

The oaks are neglected more In proportion to their deserts than any other native trees. There seems to be a notion current that oaks are very slow-growing trees; but the fact is that all the best species— the red oak, white oak, scarlet oak, pin oak, mossy-cup oak— are all good growers, and will make large, impressive, shade-giving trees almost or quite as soon as maples or even elms. The live oak, of course, enjoys a deserved pre-eminence as a shade tree In its own section.

The native linden, or basswood, makes a good tree. The buttonwood or sycamore is even better, and in middle latitudes can hardly be sur­passed. The tulip tree is good. So is the white ash.

However, attention needs to be called particularly to some of the smaller and still rarer trees and shrubs as being especially appropriate for school grounds and altogether proper for Arbor Day planting. Such is the beautiful red bud or native Judas tree, which bursts into a flame of blossoms at the first feeling of spring in the air. Its beauties come round while the schools are still in session. Another small tree, espe­cially suited to the school grounds, but never planted on Arbor Day, is the flowering dogwood. The prairie crab or native apple (Pyrus coro- narla) is hardly known even in its own locality, but it is one of the most

This list is by no means complete. It is intended only to be suggestive. In the way of shrubs—which ought to be planted even more freely than trees on the school grounds— the op­portunity for happy selections is even greater. There are dogwoods, bar­berries, buffalo berries, native roses, and other sorts galore, some of which can be collected In every neighbor­hood, and all of which can be easily secured through the plant dealers. These things ought to be on the grounds of every school, especially every 'rural Bchool; and Arbor Day is the day to put t&em. there.— The Country Gentleman.

Arbor Day.

How many rural schools to-day ob­serve Arb^r Day, a day in \5rJ1ich every farmer should be interested; for the day is one of much importance to the farmer in general and especial­ly to those that live on the bleak prairies.

Once when passing a well shaded farm home on a prairie farm I noted the different appearance in the looks of It and the unprotected houses in the neighborhood; when I had an opportunity I engaged the owner in a conversation, learning many useful facts. To my question of whether he observed Arbor Day, he replied, “Yes, I observe Arbor Day, but every day is arbor day wben it comes to planting trees,” which I considered good logic, as a person could plant very few trees, compared with, what is needed, working only one day in the year.

Arbor Day at Bchool, when proper­ly carried out. is one of the most en­tertaining and MWtructing days of a school. There can be prepared a very

T— |1LM morning hours; tha to be spent in

treeB that will grow up to be monu­ments to the pleasapU&t and most beneficial day of the session if en­tered into ln the proper spirit and the children have the proper amount of enthusiasm.

Nothing equals the tree in making the earth a pleasant abode for man, to say nothing of the intrinsic value of them. The Arbor Day spirit is one of generosity and the day is one festival which instead of looking backward to glorify achievements of the past or praising present enter­prises it looks forward seeking to make better environments, a more pleasant abode for the habitation of the coming generations.

It does not seem so strange that an institution with such a spirit and with so much to commend it to the attention of the intelligent persons, especially tbe arduous nature of tbe young, should have such a speedy and general acceptance. ,It-has on its own merits and without any lobbying, been adopted by nearly every State in the Union, and not being limited by any National Government lines, it bat

"Without sleep and hope,” lays Immanuel Kant, "man would be the most miserable of beings.’* Worry and sleeplessness are closely related.

As Dr. Saleeby well says: "The man who sleeps well Is ipao facto a practical optimist, while the victim ot insomnia Is Ipso facto a practical pes­simist, a man who worries.”

There are, however, some popular fallacies about Insomnia that require to be dissipated. We often hear peo­ple say: “I have not slept a wink for a week.” If the saying were true, it is more than likely that such persons would have slept the sleep that knows no waking. We know from experi­ment that If animals are deprived of sleep for about 1 2 0 hours, even though food Is supplied to them dur­ing that period, death will ensue. Therefore, by Insomnia we mean not absolute, but only partial, sleepless­ness. The nervous person sleeps more than he thinks he does.

Still, tbls partial lack of sleep has Injurious effects upon the whole na­ture, and the victim of nervousness cannot do better than begin the re­construction of his life by earnestly facing tbe question of sleep. To re­gain the lost power to sleep soundly is to make the first step toward the restoration of nervous health and strength.— From an Article In Smith’s Magazine.

The Humble Gam.

By T. L. MASSON.Everybody has heard of the clam,

for he has of late years achieved cel­ebrity by lending the use of his name for broth, a form of warm water used in restaurants and soda fountains.

Those who have studied the clam, however, know that he is in reality a remarkable individual.

Tbe clam begins by depositing him­self in a sand bank. He takes out no fire insurance, and may be seen occa­sionally squirting out water, as a pre- caution against any sparks tbat might fall inadvertently.

they are very fond of displaying in broad daylight. This, of course, jnakes them very sunburned. *3 It would be much better if, during the sunny part of flie day, the clam would wear a veil.

Clams live usually ln flats, and al­ways go down through tbe roof.

In their native element they are very much at home, but when seen in company with human beings they are usually in the soup or frittering away their lives.— From Judge.

His Business Ability.In the Adlrondacks lives a man too

A Gold-Brick Town.

There are many remarkable townr ln Mexlcp, but none more Interesting than Guanajuato, "The Hill of the Frog.” It might more properly be called the “gold-brick town,” for the houses have been found to contain much gold. This is a curious situ­ation, but it came about naturally. Guanajuato— pronounced Wah-nah- wahto— is one of the oldest mining towns in Mexico; but the value of tho place as a town was discovered when a railroad company decided to build a station there. It Was found neces­sary to tear down about three hun­dred adobe buildings, which were made of the refuse of various mines after the ore w*as extracted.

When it became known that the old adobe buildings would be torn down, pleceB taken at random were Assayed. It was found that because of the old process, which lost much gold and silver, they assayed from $3 to $24 a ton. The mean value was estimated to run about $8 gold per ton. The old buildings have brought about $30,000 Mexican in gold, and persons who hate built since the new machinery has been installed ln the mines are bemoaning the fact that the new houses do not contain as much gold as the old.

No one ever will come to the end of the riches in that great library of every species of literature. Eyery wise man who has ever made a list of the greatest books in tpie world has put the Bible firat. It is said that young people are reading the Bible less than they once did; If lt be true, lt it sure they are employing their reading hours to less advantage.— St. Nicholas.

their character.

Ona remarkable illustration of this fact Is the sagar beet la the wild or uncultivated state the sagar" beet is Indigenous to Southern lurope, es­pecially , along Ita Mediterranean corns ts tinder cultivation it has been converted from a plant coataining only three or four per cent, of sugar lo ona which contains from twslvs to sixteen per cent

Thla has made it posaibie to utilise tha beet for the production of sugar to auch an extent that tha amount of sugsr which is now produced from the beat is equal to that which la pro­duced from the sugsr cane.

Tbs factors which ars active in tbe production of changes in plants are soil, sunshine, rainfall, cultivation, terttlleatloa and selection. It ia through the scientific use of these fsctorg that man produces the modi flcations he desires upon plants, whether they be for the production ot foods or drugs. In regard to the matter of drugs, it is interesting to know that comparatively little has been accomplished in the way of modifying the medicinal properties of plsnts by use of the factors above mentioned. Nearly all our medicinal drugs of vegetable origin are derived from the wild or practically wild plant. It bas only been of late years that tho possibility of improving the medicinal composition of plants by human agencies has been realized.

A drug of very high potency, which possesses violently poisonous proper* ties in fact, ia hydrocyanic or prussic acid. This acid naturally exists in many plants, notably in the kernels o f peaches* apricots and fruits ot that description, and in the root of the plant known as the cassava. Cassava Is a source of large Quantities of starch, and especially of that fopd product which is so highly priced, known as tapioca.

It is Important that the plants se­lected for the manufacture of tapioca bp free from hydrocyanic acid, or as nearly so as possible. It has been observed tbat by pushing the cultiva­tion of the cassava plant northward just as far as It can crow and hate a sufficiently long summer to produce maturity, the quantity of hydrocyanic add is diminished. *

Within the past two or thres years ^tematic investigations have been

made toward the selection of cassava plants of a low content of hydrocyanic acid for the purpose of planting, and aecuri’ng by selection! plants contain­ing less quantities of this undesirable medicinal substance. Extensive ex­periments looking to this end have been made in Southern Mississippi and in Florida. /

Heredity in Plants. '•

It is a well known principle cnat ■qualities in plants, as in animals, are largely hereditary. This is the key­note of what is known as selection In the improvement of plants. By chemical analysis those plants are se­lected which have the largest quanti­ties of the desirable constituents or the smallest quantities of undesirable constituents, and these plants are used for the propagation of others. One of the earliest and most extensive experiments of this kind was con­ducted under my supervision, in col­laboration with the late Mr. A. A. Denton, in the improvement of the sorghum plant.

A series of experiments was con­ducted extending over eight years, with the idea of increasing the con­tent of sugar in sorghum for the pur­pose of securing a plant which would be suitable for the manufacture of sugar. In this experimental work there was selected by analysis the best typical cane, that is, the cane containing the largest quantities of sugar, and by comparison, the small­est quantities of undesirable qualities, and the seeds of this cane were used for the work.

In regard to plants which produce drugs, it has been noticed that when they are brought from their native environment and planted in green­houses, the quantity of the drug which they produce is usually dimin­ished. The cinchona tree in captivity does not by any means produce the •quantity of quinine which is found in it in its native forests. On the other hand, otber constituents of plants, whether desirable or undesirable, may be increased in quantity undef such conditions.

The improvement of plants of all klndB by the means which are in the hands of the scientific worker become a very important part of agri­cultural research. The Department of Agriculture at Washington and nearly all the agricultural expepty ment stations of the several States are engaged actively in this work.It is extending to all kinds of field -crops, even those of staple character.

Particularly may be mentioned the work in the improvement of Indian corn, which has been vigorously pros­ecuted by the agricultural experiment Btatlon of Illinois, and the work in the improvement of cotton, which has been practiced under the direction of the scientific men of the Department of Agriculture in the Southern Sta'tes.

Astis well known, there are two great varieties of cotton, known as sea island and upland. The sea island ■cotton has the longer and better fiber land brings a much higher price in the

eiarket than can be secured for the pland. The Improvement of the sea 'Island cotton and the extension of its

fcrowth to the mainland Are, there­fore, highly desirable.

The sea island cotton, when first Introduced to this country, was a slowly maturing variety, and It wss difficult to secure proper seed. There­fore U t

get s variety which would ripen well osar tha coast or oa Islands off tho coast of South Carolina and Georgia, Success attended tbs experiments, and a variety ot sea Island cotton was prryluced capable of much wider extension than the original. A loogei aad better liber has been deveio] as well as a more hardy plant and oi producing a larger yield.

In regard to the method* of Im­proving Indian corn, it may be said the not only Is the Indian corn bred on account ot Its composition and chsrscter, but also on sccount of its physios! appesrsnce. Work of this kind has been vary extensively done at the Kansas Agricultural Nxperi ment Station.

Mr. Luther Burbank has produced some veryremarkahietranstormatlons of plants by the use of the factors which have been mentioned before la connection with cross-fertllixation and other means of improvement.

The Magic of OnMS*FertUlution.

The Idea of cross-fertilization is suggested by Nature herself. The birds and* bees carry the pollen from plant to plant, and often affect cross fertilisation in fttis way.

This idfca has been worked out in a scientific manner, ao that systematic cross-pollenizat Ion or fertilisation haa now become one of the most im­portant means .of modifying plant life. These modifications may be good or bad. Those that are bad are aban doned, and those that ars good sre retained and propagated until distinct types br varieties are established. The human hand, in other words, takes the place of the bee or the bird, It may be possible to produce almost any kind of variation in a plant by patient and scientific effort. Those quakes in plants which arc most useful and are most beautiful may be developed, modified and increased for the pleasure and the benefit of mao. Thus progress may go on almost w i% out limit.

A systematic and scientific cultiva­tion of drug plants in the United 8tates with a purpose ot adapting them to practical use is an undertak­ing of recent origin. The Department of Agriculture has begun these in­vestigations because of the fact that the natural supply of drug plsnts in the United States is rapidly being ex­hausted. Among the plants which have been experimented with may be mentioned licorice, capsicum, sage, belladonna, caraway, anise and cori­ander.

Especially in oar Southern States is It evident that there are many ad­vantages of which the grower of drugs msy avail himself. The long growing season, warm summers, and the abundant rain supply are favor­able to the growth of drug plants ot many kinds.

In addition to the drugs already mentioned there have been cultivated, with an Intent to domesticate them, a number of drug plants heretofore growing wild.

Golden seal is a plant ot value as a drug, and its use has been of such a character as practically to exhaust the natural supply. The forests of the country have been searched far and near for the plant growing In a wild state.

For a number of years this plant has been under observation tn the testing gardens at Washington, and some of the points which seem to be

ELECTRIC TRACTION PROBLEMSBeginning ot Another Era of Revolution and

Change In Transportation.The world Is in the beginning ot

annother era ot revolution and change in ita systems of transporta­tion, says The Cincinnati Enquirer. The growth ott electric systems and their development in the line of trans­portation have been little i short qf marveloua. Tho employment of hun­dreds ot millions of dollars in capital In.Its various branches and the work given to hundreds of thousands of men could never have taken place ex­cept In this age of expansion of knowledge and capital.

The use of electricity has scarcely commenced, but already the early plants established for light and power are antiquated and Inefficient as compared with those that can now be Installed. The great railway sys­tems of the country are now seeking the most advanced methods ot em­ploying this force In order to equip their roads and thus gradually sup­plant the steam power now employed.

Many of the roads are met with an awkward financial problem instead of a mechanical one In the situation presented to them.

There la do doubt that electricity can be produced and supplied at the minimum cost to cities, districts or roads, within a radius o f 200 miles, at the mouths of the coal mines. Roads that pass through or close by auch coal mines derive immense rev­enues from the transportation of the coal to the cities and the districts.

the coal mines is an ideal economy as to their own operation. But what an object lesson it is for the cities and towns to which they carry their ton­nage of coal! While in the State of Colorado there soon will be in oper*, ation a plant u0on their order, far' nlshing light and power for a district ot 150 miles radius, the great cities* of New York, Philadelphia, PIttfburg Cincinnati, Cleveland, Baltimore, In­dianapolis, St. Louis, Chicago and a hundred lessee ones are still carry­ing their electricity on the csalcare to the cities, instead of having lt more cheaply brought to them on a wire direct from the mines. The railway? may as well accept a situation which will force Itself upon, them— and, while it will revolutionise existing systems, will only do so because It is the best thing for the people, the country, and possibly for the roada themaelvts.

Stock Raising In Nevada.

Stock ra is ing is th e oldest agricul­tu ra l industry in Nevada. It main­ta ins im portan t proportions, but it* methods are undergoing a radical change. Alfalfa Is becoming the chief agency in stock raising and fat­tened cattle go to the market from the field rather than from the range. Even the large range owner* supply their animals with cut food daring the season in which the grazing is scant. One ranch alone uses 20,000 tons or more of hay In this manner every winter.

The small farmer Is beginning to see the philosophy of feeding hla crop to a few head of cattle, thua making the farm a tactory for the conversion of raw material into a finiahed food product and aecuiing to himself the ultimate and intermediate profits.—

Life and Us Opportunities

Life is a gift of inestim ab le value,

and fraught w ith in l ir t s t which in

their effect are as lasting as eternity.

Life is given us for a grand purpose,

the improvement of ourselves, and

helping to better the c ondition of our

fellow men. H ow important it is that

we make a proper use of our time and

talents. Work and progress are the

order of creationt Among the busy

toilers in life’s harvest fields there is

no place for idelers; neither should we

spend all our time digging in the

earth after the perishable riches of

this world. Matt was formed for a

noble purpose. He 1 i ves for etern>ty,

where silvei will not be needed, whert

gold will he no-value. Lite is fai

too short and uncertain, the futur*

one too naar and real, that we shobld

risk all on one pursuit for earthly

treasure. Opportunities for useful­

ness are many. Along every' path­

way in life are weary, toll-worn pi!

grims, longing for a cheering word,

for a helping hand. Shall our live*

be one of passiveness who the present

calls so loudly for action ? Can we

fold our hands in idleness, murmuring

that there ift nothing for us to do?

Can, we deny light and help to those

who are adrift on life’s stormy sea?

They who. have tlie brightest light

should hold it up the highest, that its

rays may flash out the farther iu the

surrounding darkness. If life ana

its many opportunities have been we!

improved, how grand w ill he the re­

flection when we come to stand on the

farther shore of life, Mid look back

ward, to know that crtirgrcat object in

life was to help our fellow m e n tip tc

a fairer land.

IN THE CLUTCH OF A BLIZZARD

VIRGINIA MERCHANT RID OF A VERY BIO GRAVEL STONE.

Another Remarkable Core of Serious

Kidney Trouble.

C. L. Wood, a prominent merchant of Fentress, Norfolk Co., Va.,was suf­

fering some months ago with frequent attacks of hard pain ln the back, kidneys and bladder, and tbe kidney secretions were irregularly

f scanty, or profuse. Medical treatment failed to cure him.

“At last," saya Mr. Wood, “I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and before one box was gone. I went through four days of intense pain, finally pass­ing a stone» one-half by ft ve-slxteentha of an inch in diameter. I haven’t had j a sign of kidney trouble since."

Sold by air dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

The Steambout Whistle.

Have you ever wondered what sounds travel the furthest? If you live in u great city you are constant­ly enveloped in such a multitude of noises that lt Is very seldom that any particular one attracts the attention unless lt be unusually sharp or stri­dent, and although piercing, such a sound is not likely to carry any great distance. The higher notes are ex­ceedingly penetrating for a short ra­dius, and unquestionably more start­ling than the lower ones, but the lat­ter are much more far-reaching.

The ability of a sound to carry de­pends upon its vibrations, and any one who has listened to the deep notes of a pipe organ In a church will admit that he could almost feel the air vibrate. But probably a steam­boat whistle, such as are common on the Ohio and Mississippi packets, can he heard as far as any sound that may ordinarily be met with. The d6ep resonance of its tones floating steadily out Into the air, seem to iStretch away indefinitely Into space, especially In the stillness of a night in the country. It is a sound that cannot be mistaken for any other, and when once Its acquaintance has heen made you will never forget it. — Harper’s Weekly.

By EX NIST McGAJTlT.

The snow had fallen ' softly and steadily for days. The strawshed was a Chinese pagoda, the haystacks re­sembled Swiss cottages, and the sta­ble, with snow packed deep about lt and a heavy mantle on the sloping roof, could hardly be distinguished from a huge drift. Every morning the prairie chickens perched on avail­able corners of the stacks and out­buildings, and in the hedges the quail and rabbits sheltered themselves as best they could from the wintry blasts.

John looked on the landscape with keen interest. Toward distant Tar- kio the timberline loomed black as aight. To the northwest rose Batter- lee’s grove, a dark speck against the sky, and for the rest there was only a wonderful whiteness. Still the snow fell, and higher and still higher rose the drifts. They wound about the slender ‘trunks of the young walnut trees like enveloping wraiths of foam, and amQng the tall cottonwoods to the south they broke ln misty billows, urged onward by the wind.

It was hard work now feeding the stock and poultry, chopping and bringing in wood and looking after things generally on the farm. Satur­day night the wind freshened about 12 o’clock, and John felt shivery un­der the old fashioned comforters.

In the morning he found his uncle and Mart Barr talking in whispers by the kitchen stove, aay:

“I didn’t much more than get back, and if this keeps up we’re In for it.”

He started to go outdoors, but ttis uncle’s sharp ‘‘Wait a while!” kept him from leaving the room. He tried to look out of the windows, but could see nothing but a whirl of flakes.

It began to be bitterly cold^Back Of the stove was a pile of wood, which rapidly found Its way into the flre, and it was evident that a new supply must be obtained if they wished to keep alive. John's grafldmother had already been warned to stay in bed, and with a lighted lantern at her feet she was baried under blankets and was quite comfortable.

“Step out on the stoop, John,” said Uncle Tom. ‘‘See what you think of a blizzard. Hold on to my hand,” he added, as the boy started for the door.

and the plunging of tbe drifts it geemed to the boy's imagination that the storm was besieging the bourn. The thin and fragile window glassoa were re-enforced with wood, there being no abutters, and snow fine as the finest sand crawled in at ©very crevice and was sifted down like pow­der on the beds above The grand­mother's bed was brought down from up stairs and placed close to the ■tove. John distinguished himaelf by finding an old cross-cut saw In that corner of up stairs called the garret, and the men sharpened lt up and al­lowed him to help aaw the sticks they brought ln.

Outside the wind raved and tore at the cottonwoods and walnut trees, breaking off branches and moaning away in the distance. The winds piled up the snow against the house until the men were sheeted with it when they rushed back from the woodpile.

three days and nights the carnival of an Icy ghost dance kept up, and three nights they had but fltfuj snatches of sleep in the intervals be­tween the hurried races to the wood­

pile.At last the strength of the storm

was spent, and Wednesday it cleared, bitter cold. The men and the boy hurf%d to the stable. The stock were all alive, but weak. They had eaten the feed left In their boxes and mangers, and then broken their hal­ters and got at some of the “slue grass” which formed the roof of the stable. The snow had so completely covered the low structure in many places that they had not suffered un­usually from the cold.

Every chicken and turkey on the place had frozen, but the hogs had burrowed into a strawstack in their pen, and were squealing vociferously for feed.

Away to the river bottom the trees rose dark as scaffolds, and a great white sea stretched in all directions

far as the eye could reach. The air was still, but nipped sharply at the boy’s bare cheeks. It was hla first blizzard.

To the northwest he saw the Sat- terlee windbreak, and wondered how lt weathered the storm. And as a solitary hawk, strong of wing and gray as the drifts beneath him, swung high over the prairies, he turned to the house.—Youth’s Companion.

Entertaining a Simple Art.

In our social lljfe we are too often governed by the ’two tyrants, “They say” and “What will people think.” Resolve to dreas and entertain accord­ing to your meana regardless of other people’s opinions. It la foollah to at­tempt to follow a atyle of entertain­ing inaugurated by richer people. Your friends will accept and enjoy simple llttje entertalnmeftts within keeping of your purse quite aa much as more elaborate affairs.

There Is a modest little home of a clever literary woman who Is brave enough to dare to Invite the most faahlonable elite to her Sunday even­ing tea table. She cares not that twelve-course dinners and much va­riety adorn her friends’ feasts. Her own table never boasts more than a plate of thinly sliced meat, good ]brown bread and nut sandwiches, hot chocolate and tea. These simple viands will be made attractive by ap­pointments of fine and snowy table linen, bright china and ahinlng ailver, a centrepiece of fiowera giving a fes­tive air to the table.

To entertain simply, yet well, Is an art. It is vastly better to frequently Invite a few friends to drop In and share our hospitality than to think of company as a dreaded bore, whose debts are to be appeased once or twice a year by giving a huge recep­tion or tea. These lrtrge affairs are seldom anything but. enjoyable “crushes,” when one enters a house and departs feeling no better ac­quainted or no nearer the family life than before.

crossed the threshold. He found himself in a blinding maze of furious snows. He held his disengaged hand up before .him, and could not see it for the revolving drifts; he was stung and cut by fine Icy needles, which filled and even choked the air, and he instinctively felt for the door and got into the house again, gasping for breath.

The first thing he said on recover­ing hia breath was, “What’ll become of the buckskin?”

His uncle looked grave. “The pony will have to take his chances with the mules. Mart fed ’em all last night, and he tried to get to the sta­ble this morning, but he barely got back. We’ve got to wait till this storm clears, if she blows a week.”

The tears came into John’s eyes as he thought of tbe pony, but he knew the blizzard must be a serious mat­ter when Mart Barr or his uncle could not get to the stable.

They sat’down to a good breakfast, and the hot cofffee heartened John up, and he began to feel the novelty of the adventuro. He took hla grand­mother her morning’s meal, and re­turned to the room below.

The house was a small atory-and- g-half frame, with no sheltering trees or outbuildings near at hand. Up stalra were the bedrooms, three in number, and down stairs the single large room served as library, sitting room, dining room and kitchen. It was warmed by a squat,* good sized kitchen stove.

Pretty soon Uncle Tom rose, tied a clohtealine round his waist, and went out into the swirl. Mart Barr held the other end of the rope, and ln a few seconda Uncle Tom returned with a stick of wood from the woodpile. This he sawed into 3tove lengths wltb a hand saw.

The wood was dried in the oven and piled into the stove and eaten up like tinder. Then Mart put on the life line and made a dash for more wood. After this grist had been de­voured by the >. kitchen stove, John begged and insisted on being allowed to go for a stick. The woodpile lay south of the house, hardly fifty feet Aw«F, and you could not miss it* al-

Tears of Blood.

The belief that certain individuals are able to weep tears of blood is of such antiquity that the German equiv­alent for “bitter tears” is “blutige Thranen,” “bloody tears.” There seems, however, no outhentlc instance of blood being actually secreted by the lachrymal gland.

Micas haa published a very inter­esting article on real and false tears of blood.. It Is a clinical study on conjunctive hemorrhage. Some years ago the author was consulted about a boy aged twelve yeara, who from the slightest cause, auch as laughter, or sometimes apparently for no cause Whatever, wept tears of blood— an occurrence often repeated several times a day. The lad was pale and enervated from constant heimorrhage.

The source of the bleeding was the tarsal conjunctiva, which was cov­ered with fine papillae, and light cauterization with the galvano-caut- ery reaulted ln a cure.

This case led the author to study the literature of the subject. He found that fo none Of the cases cited Is lt certain that the blood did not come from the conjunctiva or from the lachrymal passages. He feels that it Is unwise to deny the possi­bility of a sanguineous secretion from the gland, but that examples in which other sources cannot be shown to be present must be exceedingly rare.

Facial MnssageT?or Wrlnltlcs.

A plentiful ute of cold cream, the kind that feeds the skin, and mas­sage are the best cure for wrinkles. Each wrinkle has Its own peculiar motion, up from the chin, to cure the sagging around the mouth, gently down on the forehead for the horizon­tal wrinkles, across for the vertical wrinkles, a rotary motion for the crow’s-feet, etc. The motions are all circular, up and out— never down. The best massage Is after the Swedish system. It'should not be too vigor­ous, and, with a fine skin, very gen­

tle. 'When the fat»e Is to be massaged

it is first washed with warm water and then anointed very thickly with cold cream. After the massage hot( applications may be made. Then the face should be thoroughly washed with soap and hot water, and rinsed, and finally cold applications made to close the pores and stimulate a healthy circulation. If the face feels stiff a little cream is rubbed in.— Harper’s Bazar.

Niece of Gerald Griffin.

There died the other day in the Visitation Convent, of Washington, D. C., an old nun whqse name recalls a distinct epoch of Irish literary life. For she was a niece of Gerald Griffin, that dainty Gaelic poet who re­nounced fame for the cloister. This Washington nun, known to three gen­erations of distinguished women as their teacher, had distinct poetic tal­ents, and many of her former pupils owe success not only to her instruc­tion, but to her sympathetic guidance. She was known as Sister Teresa, and her prose and poetry appeared from time to time in Catholic periodicals under the Initials “T. G.” One re­markable trait of the Griffin family waa that ten or twelve of Ita members joined religious orders of the Catho­lic Church. Sister Teresa had four alstera and five brothers, and all gained distinction tor tbelr wrltlnga and all were teachers of English in the various Institutions with which they were, connected.— New York

that makes women hesitate to use or­iginal Ideas in entertaining their friends.

“ It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed It to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food Is a wonderful rebullder and; reatorer of nerve and brain tlsaue, aa well as muscle. It improves the digestion and elck patients alwaya gain just as I did In strength and weight very rap­idly.

“ I was In such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not Improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left horns.

MMy food did not sustain me and lt became plain that I must change.

Keeping Surplus Eggs,

When eggs are only required to be preaerved for two or three months they keep very well packed in dry salt or bran. The meat of the egg may shrink and rattle within the shell when shaken, but its edibility hi not Impaired. Coating tbe egg with vaaellne or butter will also keep lt for a short time, or any applica­tion which effectively seals the pores Df the shell and exqjjides air will pro­long the freshness of eggs. If the egg Is even momentarily submerged In boiling water, the albumen thereby becomes sufficiently coagulated to prevent the entrance of air. In some of the rural districts in England and Scotland eggs for home consumption are smutted over witb a mixture of sulphur and lampblack, a cheap and effective preservative. But the lime water mixture is best for general purposes.—American Cultivator.

A Quick Pasture.

Pasture is going to be somewhat of a question this spring, and many ot our farmers will need something that will come quick. A mixture of spring rye and oats makes a good pas­ture for milk cows and horses. Sow us early as the growth will properly and thoroughly disk, gb both ways to insure a good seed bed, and it will be ready for pasture by the middle of May—almost as soon as any of our ;lover pastures. For hogs or sheep there Is nothing better than oats and dwarf Essex rape for a Catch crop Bown as early as possible. I have used this for hogs several years and intend to soV this year again.

The best results in obtaining a stand of blue grass may be had by Bowing in th<f fait with wheat. Sow at least a bushel of blue grass to thr acre if a good stand is wanted. About jnly seventy-five per cent, of the blue grass seed that is put upon the mar­ket will grow, and If a good quick stand of grass Is wanted to cover all the ground, sow a bushel to the acre. w-C. W. B., In Indiana Farmer.

planting may have unduly exposed tbe roots to drying sun and wind.

But by far the greatest cam* of loss lies in the work of planting. Wben tbe nurseryman dug the tree he left about three-quarters of Its roots in the soil. The tops must, therefore, be out back hard. The tree should be set at the same»depth as In tbe nursery row. Tbs tree should not be set In soli that is too wet or too dry. If dry, water should be used in planting, a bucketful or more per tree when the hole is three- quarters of the way filled up. Last and most Important of all, the earth should be packed tight around the roots by hand, Tight packing ia the key to successful - planting.—-Fruit and Nut Journal.

Marketing Cattle.

The beat time to market any kind of stock for the most profit to the producer is at tbe age when it will cost the least per pound to produce it. Tbe steer to be sold at tbe great­est profit would probably be at about fourteen months old. But In order to make this profitable there should be no time lost in set-backs by letting up In the feed. The calf should come about with the grass in spring, and always have access to the grass and about all tbe milk from Its dam it will take until at least four months old. In addition it should have a grain ration of some kind, not too much but enough so that it will al­ways he ready for its feed. You can teach a calf to eat shelled corn about the easiest of anything else, but ground oats or wheat bran is a Ifet- ter bone-maker. Be careful to never overfeed. Good grass is nature’s great producer of cattle. When time for winter feed use clover hay and ground oats through the winter until grass begins to be fit for use'; then finish with pure corn meal, ground very fine. About the first of June they should weigh about eight o nine hundred pounds and bring about five cents pter pound— that is from forty to fifty dollars per head, with­out any extra expense of keeping up a large growthy carcass for one whole year for a little more gain in weight. The keeping alone this second year will require more feed than you have used in making the finished product of the first fourteen months. Be­sides the price up to the first of June when grass cattle begin to go to mar­ket is always good. Now suppose you have been able to make $his steer bring you forty-five dollars (which is reasonable), that would be about ninety bushels of corn that he would buy, which of course looks like a good trade, while to finish one of the two or three year pld steers will take about sixty buBhels of corn alone, not counting his keep up to the time of beginning, which is about nine months full feed with grass, or hay. —J. G. H., in the American Culti­vator.

The Modern Silo.

The silo is doubtless the greatest of modern institutions in connection With dairying. It is simply a modi­fication and elaboration of the old por tato or cabbage pit, and in fact th^ first silos were pits. What has prob­ably deterred the modern silo from coming into universal use is the rather prevalent idea among farmers, that it requires a great amount of skill and experience to ensure suc­cess, and that the silo of to-day is much further removed from the old pit than is the reality. Experience, however, points to the fact that so long as the crop Is cut at the right stage and put together with ordinary, care, be lt in stack, pit, or orer ground silo— chaffed or unchaffed— success must result, the amount o f waste being universally proportion-; ate to the amount of care exercised.'It is quite natural that being a new thing to many, and having heard re­ports of failures, farmers have in the past hesitated in risking their crops by attempting to ensilage them, but now with silos scattered all over the country, in every district, it is easy for them to see for themselves. As to the merits of any particular meth­od or any particular structure of silo, opinions are varied. Each, doubtless, has something to recommend it, and only a man’s particular conditions and requirements can determine for

' him the most suitable plan. The lit­erature on silo construction of the pepfertment of Agriculture which will be ssnt on application will furnish some useful suggestions.— American Cultivator.

Why Trees Fail to Grow.

It is a noteworthy fact that a very large percentage of tbe trees planted each year in different parts of the country fall to grow. That this loss is larger than necessary is certain and the causcs for it are well worth look­ing into. Generally the blame is placed on the nurseryman and the quality of the trees. In some cases the blame is rightly placed, but in moat Instances it lies elsewhere. We may look for the cause in a number of different directions. Trees are subjected to more or less hardship between the time they are standing

' in the nursery rows and the time they \y are again set in the ground.

• Tracing the history Of the tree through the several steps in its dig­ging and transplanting, we find that it may have been injured or broken in digging. After removal from the ground it may have received more drying wind and hot sun than was good for lt. The tree may have been packed too wet or too dry, or the ma­terials used may have decomposed and’given off beat to the injury of the trees The transportation company.

B heedless of the nature of tbeir cargo, i ^ may have placed it against hot pipes.

&»ar a smoke-stack, or too near a stove. It may have been delayed in transit, though when there is danger should have been culled, and it is — # .VI. ika nHMOi>1rman ahnntrl eaa tn 1 better iste than never, KeeD the

A Mixed Flock.

In the mixed flock of the mongrel type especially, and in a greater or less degree in all flocks, is there a difference in size or sustaining quali­ties among the fowls. Frequently where all are fed together some few will be crowded back and get little of the feed. Chickens are even more hoggish than hogs in fe ^ n g , and tho individual of under-si^ stands lit­tle chance. As It gets less food, it Is every time losing instead of gain­ing ground over its rivals, and short­ly falls prey to seeming disease when lt is simply crowded out.

Where more than one rooster is wintered we may think that all is going right because we see no signs of fighting, when the fact is that one Is kept away in some inaccessible spot and only steals a little food on penal-

4y of its life. Watch if two or more 'ire kept together, as is usually the fcase on the farm, that each gets its share. If they cannot live in peace, separate them in some Way, even if one must go to the block.

It often happens that the runt pig thrived when1 Removed to quarters where its previous disability is re­moved, and there are in flocks of varying ages similar cases. This is a most emphatic reason why the flock should be carefully culled and only a uniform retention of the fittest be allowed. Fowls speedily discover any weakness Or defect in a companion, and are equally quick in taking ad­vantage of it. The injuries result­ing from this may not be especially noticeable when the fowls are run­ning at large, but with the confine­ment necessary at this season it can­not but be damaging to the weaker individuals.

If it is not practicable to make the further separation one would wish, at least stay by during the eating pro­cess; take pains to scatter a part of the food in some corner where the weaker birds, Will be protected; they will soon lea rn the favored point and avail themselves $ the advantage. If there is not room for all at the drinking fountain, enlarge it or pro­vide a second. The feed box should be likewise enlarged.

Here the dry mash has the advan­tage. If the wet rnftb is fed in the usual way the fastest eaters get more than their share; but with the dry feed and the hopper system there is still room for the later comers.

Feather pulling Is another abomin­ation which is often forced upon the innocent fowls, more frequently starting through the idleness or rather enforced Inactivity of compan* ions than as a positive vice. If there ia an abundance of scratching ma­terial provided there will be less in­ducement for any to sit around, like pupils unemployed, studying mis­

chief.Then there are those which were

By H A IM U I WILSON.

In ipite of veueratlon for the Bible, and u belief that It is the word of God, thnt la almost inborn in every Christian child, there is itill a desire In the heart of nearly every one to know the origin of the manuscript!*

I from which the Book waa compiled j Of course, it waa not written, much j less printed, from the beginning, nor I was It handed down to man In written j or printed form. The Ten Command- \ ments Were said to have been wrlt- | ten on tables, or tables of stone, j The manuscripts, after the inyen- I tion* of writing, were made up from | the memories of those who had mem­orized them, and whose duty it was te repeat them to the people.

Mr. W. C. Lyne, of tbe Third Pres­byterian Church, gave a talk before the Pittsburg adult Bible class in the East Liberty Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon last on this subject that was Intensely interesting and highly Instructive.

The Sources of the Bible.

After showing that the sources from which the accepted Bible was made up.were ancient manuscripts, Mr. Lyne said that none of tbe orig­inal records from which these manu­scripts were compiled are known to be in existence, but there can be no doubt as to the genuineness of the copies.

A feature of much interest was the exhibit by the speaker of a rare old manuscript written by monks on vel­lum 500 years ago— before printing was Invented. This rare curio w m il­luminated with beautiful Initial let­tering In gold, and exquisite minia­ture paintings executed years before Raphael’s famous frescos and paint­ings upon canvas. Th^work ot these old artists upon tbe vellum retain a freshness in coloring and delicacy in technique that was most suggestive of hpw durable work on manuscript WM. *

The speaker also circulated among the audience facsimile prints of the three oldest Bible manuscripts In the world, and by means of these gave an Interesting Idea of the Character of the original writings and tbe care taken in transcribing. He also gave an intelligent reason why some por­tions of our present Bible were omit­ted as doubtful authority in the new revised version.

The romantic discovery by Tisch- endorf in a basket of rubbish in an old convent at the foot of Mount Slnal of the most valuable manu­script In existence just as the monks were about to commit it to the flames, was made more interesting by prints of the Convent of St. Catherine, and facslmllies of the Sinaitic manuscript now held by the Czar of Russia.

Inerrency of Manuscript.

While he did not claim absolute in­errency for accepted manuscripts, Mr. Lyne showed that no important doc­trine or fact had been disturbed by comparing existing records with man­uscripts buried from sight and the knowledge of scholars for 1500 years. Jewish manuscripts had always been placed in the most guarded places, the copies of the old Jewish law be­ing placed In tbe ark of the covenant and temple and in times of danger rescued from destruction as by Jos­ephus in the days of Titus, when the temple was burning.

The copying .and transmitting of manuscripts has been guarded with such scrupulous care that convincing proof of their Integrity and genuine­ness was furnished by knowledge of facts. Scribes were bound by solemn oath to make no change of word or letter, and were required to record the number of words, the middle verse, and letter of manuscript, and even the number of times a certain letter began words. Then, too, the rival academic schools of both Ces- aera and Babylon watched with jeal­ous care the work of the other.

Later on both Jew an<J, Gentile were vigilant in watching the fidelity of the other in copying records, and by a singular coincidence the three most valuable manuscripts of the Bible were in the separate possession

I of the three great branches of the j Christian church. The Alexandrian * manuscript was in the keeping of the Anglican church in the British Mu­seum; tbe Vatican manuscript was held by the church of Rome In, the Vatican, and the Sinaitic manuscript was held by tbe Greek church nt St. Petersburg. Such remarkable safeguards were not accidental, but wise design for perpetuating the pur­ity and genuineness of Biblical rec­ords.

Different Versions.

In discussing tne versions of the Bible he passed rapidly from the septuigent to the vulgate, and then after speaking of the unique work of Wlckllffe and Tyndal amidst great opposition, culminating in disinterring tbd bones of the former and cast­ing his ashes upon, the; river Swift, and the latter after being exiled from England to Germany, and printing hi^ ,great translation, being impris­oned and. finally strangled to death.

Growing opt of the manuscripts of Wick 1 Iffe and the printed Bibles of Tyndal,. Influenced too by Luther’s labor In Biblical work, there came the scholarly work known as the Ge­neva Bible, or “Breeches Bible.” A [copy of this version was exhibited by tbe speaker with the remark that It waa not only a volume older than the plays of Shakespeare, but was printed about fifty years before the first book was printed in America, and years before the Mayflower sailed to America or the English set­tled at Jamestown.

Thft: historical interest of this book was increased by the fact that it w$b the most popular household Bible in English use before our present Bible was published and that It was tbe first Bible marking off verses for easy reference, and was of special inter­est because of the quaint wording

Tbe King Janies Version.

In order to get a version free from political and sectarian marginal note* King James directed that fifty-four of the foremost scholars in tbe realm ahould make a careful translation of the accepted manuscripts regard 1ch« of poiitical or theological bias.

Thla wise provision haa been one cause of making the Bible of to-day universally popular among Protestant believers, until now its annual print ed issue Is 10,000.000 copies.

The earnest scholarly labors of j foremost Bible students in Europe | and America have given the reviaed j version to Protestantism, and thli great contribution to intelligent ap- predation Of the latest and most au­thentic Bible records while meeting with opposition, naturally would ul­timately work out as otber great ver. slons had done over similar opposi­tion, a flted and honored position in the minds and hearts of those in quest of truth in its genuineness and original strength.— From the Pitts­burg Gazette Times.

JAPANESE LABOR POORLY PAID.

Low Wages and Workman Not a Sue* |

cess as Machine Operators.

Writing from Vladivostok of a visit to Japan, Special Agent Roland R. Dennis says of tbe efficiency of labor of that country:

“A visit to Japan tends to disprove the theory that cheap labor insures cbeap production of output. The Japanese In many directions, especial­ly in cabinetmaking, is an expert and finished workman. Although he uses an infinitesimal plane and planes to­ward himself, and his handsaw looks like an overgrown butcher knife with saw teeth cut in its edge, he produces fine work. But give him a machine nearly automatic to tend and be is j not a success. Wire nails are used | exclusively in Japan, and hence there is an immense demand for them. *’»

“Among tife very many stock com­panies formed during the Jap&nese- RUssian War, when money was plen­tiful, was a wire nail mill. The very latest up-to-date automatic machinery was brought out from the United States, and everytbing (hat money and skill could command was secured to make the mill a great success. As a final step a superintendent was brought from a large^mill In Cleve­land and put in charge. In spite of all this expenditure of talent, money and time, that man Is not able to mak* nails at a price tbat at all in­terferes with importing and selling at a satisfactory profit. When asked why be cannot make nails as cheaply as he did In Cleveland the superin­tendent replies: ‘It is simply a ques­tion of labor. In Cleveland one man tended and kept running four or five machines; here it takes four or five men to tend one machine, and they don't keep it running as it should at that.’

"A large paper mill is having a similar experience. Labor is cheaply paid, but, being inefficient, it is much more expensive than higher paid efficient labpr. I met three Belgians wbo had been some months in Japan endeavoring to get a window-glass factory on a successful, money-mak­ing basis so as to be able to compete with imported window-glass. They had abandoned the enterprise and were returning home, thoroughly con­vinced tbat Japanese labor was very cheap, but that it could not be suc­cessfully utilized In a branch of man­ufacturing to which it was not accus­tomed.

“Coolie labor in Japan commands about twenty-five cents a day. al­though in Kobe, Yokohama and Na­gasaki thirty-seven and one-half and forty cents are being asked and in many cases allowed. All employer* of labor were unanimous in 'declar.i4f§ that the quality of the services re#-' d'qifed was going down even faster than the rate of wages was going — Consular Report.

It was tbe evening when he called on Beilina, and his boots must be as radiant as the bosom of bis one white shirt, which had come from tbe laundry that same day smooth and shiny as the back of a celluloid hairbrush. But when the Job was done and the bootblack arose per­spiring with exercise In the close Uttle room, Giuseppe's heart misgave him. A nickel—five cents! It was a tremen­dous fee for such an infant.

“Gooda boy, Wax," said he; ‘‘I give you Jrtea banan' for dat. Ain’t you

Had?’ ,"Naw yer don’t.'' growled the boy.

“I want five cents. The kids would fire me outer der union If I gave shines for leas’n dat.”

But«Giuseppe, undisturbed and sfhll- iug, cut a long, yellow bauana from the bunch and proffered It with the air of one conferring the freedom of a city. “You gooda boy,” he repeated, showing his white leeth; "I giva you nlca ba- nau';" and, heedless of Waxey's pro­tests, forced the fruit into his hand and gently pushed him out of the store. Then after locking the door he retired to the little back room where he slept and cooked his meals to dresB for the evening, leaving the boy to pound on the door and shriek black curses at the top of his shrill treble. Wishing to avoid the annoyance o( further encoun­ter, the Italian left his quarters by a window which opened into a rear al­ley; aud Waxey, after wearing himself out storming at the entrance, llnng the banana on the sidewalk and walked away, sobbing.

And now dark despair was settling about him when, like rflanna dropped from heaven to feed his starved sense of justice, he beheld right at his feet the mqan.s of deliverance, and a great wave of Joy swept over him as he

, stopped and picked up an enormous dead rat. The narrow street rang with his whoop of delight as the tail came of! in hia grasp and the bloated body dropped back to the pavement. The rat was very—well—ripe. For the same reason its value was doubled.

Most persons, upon making such a glorious find, would have hurried thoughtlessly to their enemy's door, flung the rat ln, and departed, well sat- iafled. But Waxey was not so servile to custom. Dead rats did not often come his way, and he had no Intention of wasting such a superb specimen as this.

Charley Herzog, the green-grocer and faithful friend, gave for the ask­ing several sheets of thick wrapping paper and plenty of white cotton string. It reunited /leHc'ate manipula­tion to get the rat firmly enveloped in the first sheet, but when thia was ac­complished it was an easy task, with the aid of much cord and paper, to make a presentable package; and in a

I few minutes, even though a vague odor still hung about the premises, to the eye the bundle presented every evi-' dence of respectability. Waxey tucked

■ argument was that the thin ,pink pa­per. scrawled with hieroglyphic^, found a rest lug place In Giuseppe's blouse, and Waxey left the store richer by a dime.

i Waxey's self-respect was restored,1 bis honor satisfied, and he regarded whatever might follow with languid curiosity, as a pure gratuity of his luck. Lurking contentedly in an area-way opposite Wu Ling Fung’s laundry, he saw his victim enter, and hastened across tbe street where he might watch developments through the

, wiudow.! Now, It was no strange thing for Wu j Llng-Fung to receive insults in the J shape of dead rodents. Every child on the block understood that a China­man's mouth waters perpetually • for

j tender rat meat, and took care that he I got plenty by tbe avenue of an open door or window. But never before

! had the sender dared to return and claim bis gift. There are bounds even to a Chinaman'* forbearance. It was

i the double insult of this man's ask­ing for the return of his rat that he might use it again that choked Wu

j Llng-Fung witfi rage. His eyes had ! scarcely rested upon the check which the Italian confidently laid on the counter before he was at the fruit- dealer’s throat. Giuseppe, robust son of the soil though be was, nearly went to the floor under that wild attack. With an answering yell of terror, he wheeled and fled from the shop and down the street, while at his heel* came a little brown fiend, its features working with passion and cue floating horizontally behind.

Waxey did not trouble himself to fol­low and see what happened. He was a philosopher, and more than satisfied already. He spent half of his ten cents Tor a box of 26 cigarettes, and,, with a lighted one in his mouth and hl« box swung jauntily over his shoul­der, made his way‘to City Hall park, where, as Jhe dispenser of 20 "butts," he was u prince among his fellows for the rest of the day.

THE HOTEL MAN’S HOBBY.

Ready to Lose Money That NativeTown 8hould Have Fine Hostelry.

An American traveling through Italy was surprised to find in an insig nificant Uttle town a hotel that waa first-class In every respect. It had porcelain baths, sumptuous dining room, excellent food, faultless service —all, in short, was on the moBt lavish and expensive scale. The traveler

•Jookdd in his Baedeker. No such hotel was mentioned. It was evidently very new. He figured out that the number of tourists visiting the little town each year could not by any stretch of the imagination Justify such a palatial caravanserai.

So he made inquiries. And thereup­on the cat came out of the bag.

It transpired that the proprietor of the hotel, a native of the little town, had in his early days gone to Naples and opened a hotel there, After many years of prosperity he had sqld out and returned to his native town a wealthy man to spend there the re mainder of his days, but not in idle­ness.

He promptly opened the hotel which

Comrades

Comrades we were together,Comrades through woe and weal;

My weak heart often wavered,But his was us true as steel.

Sometimes we roamed the woodland Or sailed the waters wide;

Often we romped by the seashore Near the blue Atlantic’s tide.

Oft In the early morning Before the day was ripe,

We quietly slipped from our couches To chase the fleeting snipe.

Out in aty sorts of weather,Under all kinds of sky, ’

We spent many a happy hour My good old friend and 1.

Miles and miles With each other,Over river and plain and hill;

He was a faithful lover Would he were with me still!

Many a time at twilight,When ray heart felt weak and cold.

He would lay his head on my shoulder.
