PoWeT company, solved its difficulties toy submitting three reports to the toouae. The findings differ in the amount of blame they attach to the canal commissioners and the house members took their pick in the morn­ing. when printed copies were handed around. Of the three reports, one is a whitewash for the canal commission­ers, another Is a censure, while an­other is a censure with a recommenda­tion that the board be discharged. The wide difference in the tone and the test of the findings is due to the manner in which politics crept into the committee when the time came to formulate its conclusions.

The 1906 primary law, known as the Deneen-Shurtleff measure, amend­ed to meet the objections of toe su preme court, and with direct plurality primaries extended to all county of­ficers, is up to both branches of the general assembly. This program was agreed upon byT the conference com­mittee. If this bill becomes a law the primaries this year will be held in August, probably on the lath of that month. As amended the bill will provide for:

Uniform compulsory primaries, all to be held on the same day.

Nomination of county officers by di­rect plurality vote.

Nomination of all other officers, ex­cept city, village and judicial, on which .the bill is silent, by delegate conventions, the delegates to be elect­ed by primary districts.

Be

Cocaine Bill le Now a Law.Gov. Deneen has signed what is

known as the "cocaine bill,” which was passed by the present session of the legislature. The measure is in­tended to regulate the sale of cocaine and cucaine, and heavy penalties are provided for violations.

ot the accidents include the death of Minnie Steritz, who died from scalding in a bath tub; an injury in the laundry room to Walter Kaak of Chicago, a 17-year-old boy, who lost an arm, and the recent injury to the Giroux boy, who was terribly burned upon an un­protected steam pipe. A report cov­ering the entire number of accidents was furnished to the legislative in­vestigating committee by William C. Graves, secretary of the state board of charities. The inquisitors held their session at the Logan county courthouse in Lincoln, and for an hour and a half had Dr. 11. C. Hardt, the superintendent of the institution, upon the witness stand. As a witness, Dr. Hardt’s testimony was not impres­sive upon the committee. He pos­sessed scant personal knowledge of the accidents that befell the Giroux hoy. the Steritz girl, or the Kaak boy. in these cases he knew only what had been reported to him. Hut his knowl­edge of the conditions that confronted him upon taking charge at the institu­tion on January 25 last was of an ex­ceedingly positive character. Dr. Hardt took occasion to attack the for­mer staff and to show that iie had im­proved coudi liens.

Not all of the story of the asylumhero for the state's feeble-minded and epileptic charges at Lincoln can he (old. Most of the story, however, deals witli physical torturing. The of­ficial record of the institution disclos­es 150 "accidents" since last August. Children have been roasted on unpro­tected steam pipes. One little girl was scalded in a bath tub and died. One boy, "the brightest in the institu­tion." reads the record, "playfully" put his hand into a piece of machin­ery that was revolving some 900 times a minute. His arm was torn off at the shoulder. An attendant reported that a little child must have been gnawed and lacerated by rats. He couldn't account for the wounds in any other way. Superintendent Hardt repri­manded him for making such a report.

“Unless you saw the rats eat the patient you should not so report," said the superintendent.

One helpless body was being dressed by an inmate (not an attendant). The little one's leg was broken, and no one seems to know more about it than simply the fact that it was broken.

These children have fought one another, lacerated one another with their teeth, knocked one another down with brickbats, fallen out of trees, tumbled down stairways, heaved 'wa­ter pitchers and milk stools at one another, and occasionally assailed one another with knlves-

Articles of Standard Value Frequently8old at Cost to Create False Im­

pression of Cheapness—Un­thinking People Victims.

The theory upon which a great number of mail order concerns pro­ceed is to select a certain number of articles, those of standard values and well-known, and mark them down to wholesale prices or lower. This is for the purpose of “baiting," as well as to give the impression that regular dealers are selling goods at prices too high. On many widely advertised goods which are in constant demand the mail order house advertises prices much lower than the actual cost of the goods to the house. This is done with a view of catching customers, killing off the trade of local dealers, and with hopes of selling other goods at enormous profits. Then toe ad­vertising part of the deal is of some value.

People like to buy goods at the lowest possible cost. They get im­pressions of low prices from compari­son of goods of which they know the selling price. If a certain rifle is al­ways sold in the gunstores at $14 and the catalogue house sells the same at f l l , the average man realizes that he Is getting a bargain, even though the concern may lose a half dollar in the transaction. But the man is also im­pressed with the idea that prices are just as low on other goods of which he has little information as to values. It is knowing this fact that causes the mail-order houses to resort to this trick. Then there is difference in quality of goods. In the different lines there are different grades. It is not long ago that a I'nited States district court grand jury returned an indictment against a large mail-order house on three different charges of fraud. In each case there was mis representation. One of tile charges was that "pure white lead" paint, sup­posed to be manufactured by the con­cern. did not contain a trace of white lead, and was manufactured by con­tract by another concern. The other charge was that Jewelry was misrep­resented. In the matter of jewelry there is great chance foe fraud. That which is called solid gold may be not over one-tenth gold, a little better than brass. Gold always has a cer­tain value. Whether it is in jewelry or in a coin of the realm, the value is Just the Bame. Its purity and weight is what counts. It Is curious liow intelligent people who know of the fixed value of gold will take the word of a mail-order pchemer as to quality, when the article is sold at a leBB price than the metal which It Is claimed is represented in It can be bought for In the markets

Low prices are generally quoted upon goods which the average people understand, and are acquainted with, and the loss Is made up on the classes of goods which allow the practice of deception, of the value of which the people little know. People who patron­ize mail-order concerns should under­stand that in the majority of cases they are paying more than they would be compelled to pay if they made their purchases at home. Then there is Involved the principle of sending money away from the neighborhood where it Is earned.

It the people who patronize mail­order houses would only buy such goods as they know are priced helow cost to the, concern, the mail-order houses could not continue in business a year. But these concerns know that Mr. Barnum was about right when he said that the "American people like to lie humbugged." They transact their business accordingly. The home merchant must go ahead on a differ­ent basis. He depends upon his repB- tatlon for square dealing. He knows that he must he honest, whether he is inclined to be or not. or that he will soon be compelled to get out of busi­ness for lack of patronage. The mail­order concerns look for a new crop of "auckers" every year, and they find more or less of a crop.

Black Out For Governorship.Judge Jesse Black of Tazewell coun­

ty has formally announced his can­didacy for governor of Illinois on the Democratic ticket. Judge Black has served in the legislature several terms, and was a candidate for con­gress against B. F. Graff, but was de­feated. It is likely that all central Illinois Democrats will unite upon Judge Black.

Speaker Not a Candidate.The status of Speaker Shurtleff’s

candidacy for the Republican nomina­tion for governor was made plain In a statement by Mr. Shurtleff before the house the other morning. In his own words, the -speaker is not a candidate at the present time. While he was avowedly an aspirant for the honor previous to the action of the supreme court last November, that event com­pletely changed his plans. Since then his candidacy has been in abeyanoe. It is possible that he may become s candidate at a later date,

Economy In Home Trade.In an address made some years ago

before congress the late Thomas B. Reed said: "Which Is it better for the farmer to do—send his supplies a thouaand miles to the seacoast, 3,000 miles across the water and sell it to the mechanic who gets less wages, or sell it right here at home to the me­chanic who gets more wages?" Reed's logic is sound, but he might have gone a little further, and shown the farmer how Important It is to have the home market right at his door; how by the building up of the commercial and manufacturing Importance of his home town, he widens the market for his products, and that the livelier and better the home place can be made, the bettor will be the prices he will receive for big products.

One of the spirits of the age is or­ganisation and co-operation of thoBe who are engaged in the Bame lines ot trade, Industry or profession. It has been proved beyond cavil that men have a right to thuB organize and pur­sue any system in business, or in their special fields that they desire as long as their methods are not unjust toward others. FYom many organisa­tions comes much good. From others things that are harmful.

It must be remembered that there are fundamentals in all systems that cannot be ignored. There are princi­ples which must be observed, or fail ure will be sure to result. Within the past dozen years numerous alleged co­operative organizations have been formed within the United States. These organizations have been of a kind that involves certain benefits to members—the elimination of profits to middlemen, the distribution of earn­ings to members, etc. Not one in fifty of these organizations has been suc­cessful, and the reason for failure is that the systems followed were not In harmony with economic laws.

In the world of commerce there are three important factors—production, distribution and consumption. Were there no consumption there would be no need of production or distribution. But civilized people must be fed and clothed and their other wants sup­plied. and as long as intelligent man exists there will be need and methods to supply his wants. Thus we find the producers, the distributors, and the latter class divide into groups known as factors or Jobbers, their agents and the so-called retailers who directly supply the consumers.

The common co-operative plans deal with cutting out the distributors, the elimination of that cost In products which represents the compensation of merchants whether they he whole­salers or retailers. The present sys­tem of distribution has wvolved from an experience covering some thou­sands of years, it is based upon equity and upon the soundest princi­ples of economy. The system cannot well be changed unless the whole field of human endeavor be modified. Peo­ple must be employed In gainful occu­pations. or they become burdens upon the classes who are earners. All can­not be producers, hut all can perform an important part In production, in manufacture and in distribution. The co-operative system that means the elimination of the factors in com­merce excepting the manufacturer means the robbing of a large class of a means of earning subsistence and an encroachment upon other fields of labor that are now well equalized. The present system of distribution is the most economical that can be de­vised. No manufacturer of food prod­ucts, unless he have a monopoly, can maintain exclusive distributing ware­houses Thus we find the Jobber a co-operator merely, working In harmony with a multitude of manu­facturers and for them conducting a general warehouse, guaranteeing the collection and payment of bills due them and for his services receiving a small commission. His agent or trav­eler sells a hundred kinds of goods in­stead of one particular kind. Here again we find co-operation in its high­est type. The retailer carries a vari­ety of goods, representative of per­haps 200 or 300 manufacturers; here again is co-operation, and It may be said that the earnings of all engaged In distribution represent a small commission for performing a service, and the aggregate of the earnings of any one of them—the Jobber, hiB agent and the retailer—is dependent upon his labor and his business sagac­ity. When these three factors in dis­tribution be Cut out just as expensive a system must be substituted. In case of the manufacturer who sells his products direct to the consumer, he has large advertising bills to pay, and a hundred little expenses which the manufacturer who sells his products through regular established channels does not have to bear.

When a co-operative store is estab­lished with a few hundred stockhold­ers as its patrons it is generally f-jund that tt cannot be operated a t lower expense than if conducted by an indi­vidual, and it soon ceases to exlrt.

Editor Realizes Situation.It has come to a time when the

business man must take note of th# mail order concerns. They are con tinually growing larger and taking more trade out of the smaller towns. Of course we nil know that it is not right for Wilkinsburg people to send their money to Chicago or New York or other places for their groceries, dry goods, etc., when we have people, neighbors and friends selling the same goodB right at home. The local merchant has no one to blame but himself for the condition which now exists. This may be a little hard, but It Is true. Many of the local mer­chants do not let their old customers, and prospective new ones, know of the articles they keep by advertising them. The mall order houses are the largest and most successful advertis­ers in the world, and without adver­tising they could do no business. Now, If they can afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to keep their old customers Informed and to get new ones, too local merchant could pul a big “kink" In the mailorder business by adopting too same method on a smaller scale.—Wilklnaburg (Pa.)Call.

By using the Florida keys as step­ping stones a railroad is being built over the open sea from the mainland half way to Cuba. The railroad goes to sea from a point below Miami on the east shore and after crossing 76 miles of open water by bridge or via­duct and traversing 42 islands or keys terminates at Key West.

It will sooa be possible to enjoy the speed and luxury of modern railroad travel practically out of sight of land. A great harbor is to be built at Key West, where trains may be run direct­ly upon great floats which will carry them to Havana in unbroken pack­ages. This direct connection with the mainland, with its saving of 18 hours’ time in transportation, it is believed will make Key West, with the opening of the Panama canal, one of the great­est seaports of the country.

Engineers of the new road from the first have been confronted by new and baffling problems. Much of the road being far ouf at sea, will be exposed to all the storms to which these trop-

“ I was practically an invalid for s ii ▼ears, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctor’s advice, but in a few months I was worse than before. A friend ad­vised Lydia E.

leal waters are Bubject. A wide swath must be cut through many of the isl­ands, while others must he laborious­ly built up from below the Bea level. Much of the land crossed consists of almost Impenetrable Bwamp. Although a single-track road, the cost of con­struction will probably exceed $100,- 000 a tulle, or about $15,000,000 for 150 miles of construction. The Idea of this ocean railroad originated with Henry M. Flagler, who will spare no expense in making it a success.

One of the most Interesting parts of the work to the lay mind Is the pre­cautions taken to safeguard the ex­posed viaducts against the sea. The viaducts will be built of reinforced concrete, resting either on deep piling or solid rock. It has been found after careful examination that the maxi­mum height of waves throughout these waters Is 25 feet. The railroad j will be kept at a level of more than 30 | feet above high water. The highest waves known to this coast, therefore. I could not break over the top of the | viaduct. The engineers count upon comparatively smooth water because of the coral reefs which parallel the track practically throughout the entire distance. This natural barrier, al­though in many places below the level of the water, forms a breakwater Which turns back the roughest seas.

Future of Persia.At a recent meeting of the Royal

Asiatic society In London 8lr H. Mor­timer Durand read a paper on "Nadir 8hah.” The ancient monarchy of Persia was, he said, among the nations which seemed to be waking up to a new life. The remarkable movement which had recently swept over the land had shaken the established order of things to its foundations. As in Russia, only a few years ago the Persians In general regarded the mon­arch as their God-given ruler. Now the position was very different. There bad been a sudden upheaval and the autocratic power of the monarch had been overthrown with extraordinary suddenness.—-London Standard.

Calcutta, India.—Beautiful, dirty; Mendld, squalid; rich, miserable—-

auch are the contrasting adjectives which one may apply to thle third largest city In the British empire, seated on the banks of the Hoogll iflver, whose shifting ourrente are her best defense against an Invading fleet. 'Jt la a city of color, from the fat, shiny, black babu. scantily Clad only In a few yards of purple cheeee cloth

v .and dazzling yellow shoes, to the pale and immaculate Briton, In top bat and trock coat. It is a city of historic In­te re st; everybody goes first -to see the <amous Black Hole.

But to all the world that Is to any ■way Interested in missions this is re-

t membered as the scene of the labors . • dt 'William Carey, the father of mod­

em Protestant, missions, who did his life work at Serampore, a few miles from here. In the cathedral also one •ees a fine statue of Reginald Heber, the famous missionary bishop of the Church of England, and author of the moat widely-known mlf . 'onary hymn, “Frum Greenland’s Icy bit untalna.”

Dusky “ Europeans."Mir work deals with to-day, so I must

Introduce the reader Instead to the most curious company of “Europeans" he has ever met, as they are gathered for worship, several hundreds of them. In the fine big church of the American Methodist mission. T'.iese dusky "Europeans" are mostly half- castes, Eurasians, but they dislike vho latter name and are at all pains to claim Identity only with their white ancestors. Thus a dark brown mau,

. three-fourths native, will speak osten­tatiously of going “home" to England, though he never saw England, and only one of his forbears for centuries past has ever been outside of India.

This .very pride Indicates that the Eurasian has certain qualities which go with white blood, and this self-sup­porting, aggressive church, with re­finement written on the faces of many of Its members. Indicates the Impor­tance of this branch of the Methodist Episcopal mission. The Methodists have been very successful throughout

^.Indla In this work for Eurasians, and for the whites who have married na­tive women, thus losing social caste In addition, other white people who do not care for the established church services, attach themselves to these churches for Europeans.

The Really White Europeans.If the blended brother is a problem

In India needing the missionary’s at­tention, no less Is the simon-pure white man. And I must say that, so for as I could learn, the life of the Eu­ropeans (as all Caucasians are desig­nated east of Suez) Is more whole­some and normal In India than In the far east. This Is doubtless due to the fact that British Influence Is alto­gether dominant, and British Ideals have followed the flag. The white people generally attend the estab­lished churches, just as at home, as a matter of course..

For the young men—who are every­where the crux of the social problem —I found the Y. M. C. A. doing a con­spicuously successful work. In the farther east It has been a failure so far as the white men are concerned, although Its work for the natives, as these articles have reported, has been of a high grade. Here, however, the association Is “good form,” and the larger Indian cities have fine build­ings, veritable gentlemen’s clubs, with chambers for any number of men from a score to a hundred, and In gen­eral doing a sort of Christian work which deserves great praise. It would cause an American secretary to lift his eyebrows were he to see the num­ber of men In evening clothes (Includ­ing. of course, the local secretary him­self) to be found of an evening In the Calcutta or Bombay association. Therein, though. Is a sign of success, for that Is the very crowd that the association needs to reach here. The vfork for the native Indians, conduct­ed In separate buildings, of course, Is equally notable.

There are white women In the east, as well as native and half-caste wo­men, needing the peculiar1 sort of help which the Y. W. C. A. affords. I was

' i f greatly struck by the hold that this organisation has taken in India; there la a sanity, a careful, confident facing of actual conditions, and an effective aggressiveness about it which should place the association very high In the rank of missionary agenclea.

Ona sort of work open to the Y. W.O. A. Is Illustrated by the following In­cident. Every ship sailing to India from England carries young women going out to be married, and to live with fathers, brothers, or other rela- tlve*. Not alwuys do the relatives turn up, or the bridegrooms prove available; In which case the young woman sadly needs womanly help and aafe shelter. On the ahlp In which I want to Calcutta were three such young women; one of them discov­ered that bar uncle had gone to Japan and she was penniless, half a world from home. At the first opportunity,

> after learning of the ttfidency of the Calcutta Young Women’s Christian as­sociation. 1 put the secretary Into touch with the stranded girl, but fit

most too late, for a day later she at­tempted suicide.

“Behind the Curtain."Hlgh-daas Hindu and Mohammedan

women are kept "purdah,” that Ib “be­hind the curtain.” The precautions that are used to keep them from the gaze of all men save their families seem ridiculous to a westerner. One such woman was pat into a railway compartment next to mine, with the most elaborate precautions. But when we stopped a t a small station I caught a glimpse of her face through the window and—well, she would never be kidnaped for her looks! This se­questration of the women leads to all manner of evils; and the lot erf the poor creatures is narrow and pitiable. Indeed.

Now the women missionaries are penetrating "behind the curtain," tak­ing with them medical healing, the schoolbook and the Bible. The Wo­man's Missionary Union of America is especially diligent In this zenana work, having missions In live dtles, and their range of activities Includes visitation to the homes, day schools for children, orphanages, rescue homes, a hospital and a high school and college. As I talked with two bright American girls a t Allahabad, M I b s Wlshard and Miss Bertscb, about their work, and heard how they had rescued 23 ill-treated and wid­owed Brahmins during the first four months of the year (they teach 600 women a week) I could not but agree that this was a womanly work for women, affording a career such as should satisfy any college-bred girl.

A Tomb for a Home.The woes of women, and especially

of widows. In India are too well known to need rehearsal here. They afford endlesB scope for missionary service. Thus, at Lucknow the Methodist Epis­copal mission has converted an old Mohammedan tomb Into a home for homeless women. It was rather Inter­esting to learn that a large part of the cares of the charming young woman In charge Is the endeavor to find hus­bands for as many as possible of tho 50 women who come under her over­sight every year.

In this same city of Lucknow I found another flourishing Institution for women, the Isabella Tboburn col­lege, said to be the oldest college for girls In India, having been established in 18T0. It Is affiliated with the Uni­versity of Allahabad, and has more re­quests than It can meet for graduates to fill governmental and private teaching positions. The college has won favor with htgh-caste natives, and Its nearly 200 students represent all classes of Society. I could not see that the life differed greatly from the life of American college girls.

As I watched a file of these lustrous- eyed, graceful, white-robed girls cross the campus of the Presbyterian girls’ school at Allahabad, on their way to chapel^ It seemed to me that the spec­tacle was rather more picturesque than anything an American college can boast. This building Is the gift of Mr. John NVanamaker. A Christian Endeavor meeting by the girls was quite a model meeting of the Ameri­can type. Christian Endeavor appears to be especially effective among the Indian churches. Even a slight asso­ciation with the students here seemed to show In their character a reflection of the charm of Miss Forman, their principal. The caliber, culture and character of some of the American women to be met on the mission field are altogether beyond the Imagining of the public at home.

New India In the Making.Among the Indian reformers there

la dlscernable a movement looking to­ward the nationalisation of India's varying creeds, which Is a step essen­tial to polttlcal unity. The national creed Is not Intended to be Christian­ity. The one conspicuous agency off­setting this tendency Is the mission school. Up and down the length of India are schools conducted by mis­sionaries and attended by the children of Christian converts (for they are part of the machinery which must produce the nest generation of native preachers), by the children of low castes, who are thus equipped to rise In the social scale and, to an lncreas Ing extent of late year4, by the chil­dren of the higher castes. It Is al­most hopeless to attempt to enumerate these; ! might specify the fine big Reid Christian college at Lucknow of the Methodist Episcopal church, altu- ated on ground made historic by the mutiny, equipped with Imposing bulld- lngs. attended by 600 students in dor­mitory, from a wide region of which Lucknow Is the center, and adminis­tered to by men of ability and breadth 1 * vision. Both collegiate and commer­cial courses are given here.

Early this yaar many Methodlata from America Journeyed to India to attend the jubilee of Methodist Epis­copal missions at Bareilly, where M years ago Rev^William Butler estab­lished the work of the Methodlet Epis­copal church, which has now grown to n force of 6,000 workers nod 100,000 native members. At this celebration, which was attended by 1,000 native Christians, 600 converts were' hfip- Used on a tingle day, a unique featnifi

of the baptismal service being the cutting off of the tu ft of hair, the loss of which means separation from Hin­duism. The occasion focused the a t­tention of the religious world upon the foot o f Methodlstlsm'a aggressive, diversified, far-ramifying and success­ful work in 'India. Thirty-seven differ­ent languages-are used by Methodist missionaries in this country.

Allahabad, the university center of India, boasts another great education­al Institution of the western type, the Allahabad Christian college, of the Presbyterian mission. ItB buildings are In quadrangle form about an im­mense and symmetrical banyan tree. One of the buildings is Princeton hall, a gift of Princeton alumni. An Inspec­tion of this plant Impresses a visitor with the thoroughness of the standard maintained. The principal, Rev. Dr. Arthur H. Ewing, Is rightly reckoned one of India's great educational lead­ers. In the big preparatory school for boys, which Is a part of the Institu­tion, I had a chance to test all the classes In English, and I cannot imag­ine a school In the homeland emerging from this sort of ordeal more suc­cessfully.

The Living Dead.At Allahabad is situated a large

leper BBylum, maintained jointly by the government and by the beneficent Mission to Lepers la the East. It Is managed by Mr. Samuel Htggtnbot- tom, of the Presbyterian mission— one of the Innumerable extras that I found missionaries everywhere carry­ing. "Salaam, sahib,’’ the lepers would cry as we passed, lifting piti­ful stumps of fingerless hands to their foreheads. A more desolate spectacle than a leper asylum can scarcely be imagined; yet here was to be found. In some cases, the grace of Christian resignation, with cheerfulness, which Is not always present amid scenes of health and prosperity.

Not all leeprs are In asylums; un­numbered thousands roam the streets at will. While attending the dally clinic of Dr. Charles R. Cook, of Luck­now, the only missionary in all India of the Reformed Episcopal church, I sat within five feet of two lepers crowded In the press. Next to one of them was a man whose family was suffering with the plague, five having died, and four being ill at the mo­ment. Another one of the patients had, within a few days, lost a baby, a wife and four brothers, and his father lay dangerously III, all with the plague. One convalescent plague pa­tient, whom the doctor had cured, was mildly rebuked by this quiet, unruffled missionary for leaving his bed too soon. A boy smitten with the plague was brought by a mother with dread- fllled eyes, and carefully examined by the bare hands of the doctor.

This one doctor, with a single na­tive assistant, had 61,638 cases last year, Including a few In his well kept little hospital. All classes, rich and poor, Mohammedans. Hindus and Christians, come for help. I counted 30 crowded Into the small room at one time, while outside a larger crowd of waiting patients was listening to the native preacher.

A Medalad Missionary.On* of the star missions of tha

American board Is at Ahmednagar, where Rev. Dr. Robert A. Hume Is senior missionary. Dr. Hume is less widely known as the recipient of a medal from King Edward for his fam­ine relief work than as the author of “Missions from the Modern View­point." That he and his associates stand high In native esteem was evi­dent from the constant Balaams he re­ceived as we rode about the city to­gether In a tonga, or native cart. Many non-Chrlstlan natives have given largely to this mission work for Indians, and the government also con­tributes to the Industrial school.

I found all sorts of educational and industrial enterprises under way. some of them, from a bicycle repair shop to a tract depot, being wholly or in part self-supporting. The big church In native style, where even Hindus have been known to worship unknown gods, Interested me less than the extensive industrial estab­lishments where oriental rugmaking, weaving, woodcarving, carpentry and brass and silver working are carried on for the market, under the direction of D. C. Churchill, of Oberlin college and the Massachusetts Institution of Technology, and J. B. Knight, of Am­herst college, and an agricultural col­lege—typeB of the nonmlnlsterial. col­lege-bred missionaries who are doing pioneer work for the orient. Mr. Churcbhill has Invented a new hand loom that is within the compass of the average Indian mind and purse.

Miss Emily R. BIssell and her bro­ther, Rev. H. G. BIssell, carry on In this mission the work which their mother, who had been 54 years In In­dia, laid down last year. While watch­ing the arrival at the hospital here of a woman patient In a bullock cart I saw Miss Moulton comforting the weeping husband, a Christian teacher, In a manner which revealed to me the beautiful devotion of the missionaries to this people.

It takes devotion of an unselfish sort to do this work, especially among the villages. One Sunday morning 1 sat, with Rev. Mark Keaslar, of the Agra Methodist Episcopal mission, In blistering, llfe-shrivellng heat, In a low, dirty, malodorous dwelling on the outskirts of the city, while he told a crowd of hookah-smoking natives the gospel story and answered their Inter­ested questions; which looks roman­tic and picturesque from this dis­tance; but Is work to take the heart out of anybody less devoted than a missionary; and It Is the work which many hundreds of missionaries ars doing all over India to-day.

Disappointed Youngster Discriminated In Hie Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had »njoyed the use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was a friend of the family. But much to Ralph’s sorrow, there came a day recently when the pony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sodden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by Inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Elver since his acquaint­ance with the pony began, Ralph had Included him in hia bedtime prayer, and “God bless the pony," was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached hlB pet’s place In the prayer. Then, after a moment's thought, he continued;

“Please, God, bless the pony Just the same; but, God, don’t you bless the little girl what's got the pony.”

“ I finally concluded th a t it was some catarrhal affection which probably ex­cited the spasm. I t interfered with my vocation as a preacher, attacking me occasionally in the pulpit.

“ I had heard so much about Peruna as a catarrh remedy that I determined to try it. After taking two bottles, my trouble has disappeared. I feel sure th a t Peruna has greatly benefitted me.”

Breaks Up 8tpry by Objections and Subjects the Wltneea to a

Severe Cross-Examin­ation.

New York.—Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw told her story Monday for the second time. The repetition lacked the vitality of the first recital, but the great crowd In the courtroom where her husband, Harry Kendall Thaw, Is on trial for the killing of Stanford White, listened intently te every word.

Justice Dowling had ruled that he found no warrant In the law for clos­ing the doors against the public.

Mrs. Thaw's story was broken Into bits by constantly repeated objections from the prosecution, who sought to exclude all details on the ground of Immateriality. The frequent objec­tions led Justice Dowling to request Mr. Littleton to cut his examination as short as possible. Mr. Littleton took this course only to find that on cross-examination Mr. Jerome insisted upon reading from last year's record nearly every word the witness had then uttered. He did this under the privilege of framing new questions.

Mr. Littleton objected to It, declar­ing that the district attorney, by read­ing the former testimony In a dis­agreeable manner, was trying to dis­credit the witness In the eyes of the jury when he could not discredit her In any way by a 'direct question.

Mr. Jerome made no attempt to dis­guise a tone of complete contempt in reading the testimony. Contempt also characterized most of the questions he put to the witness, whom he attacked In the loudest voice he has yet used at the trial. Mr. Jerome plunged at once Into the more Intimate details of the testimony and made no delicate choice of words In framing his Interrogations.

Mr. Littleton’s objections on the ground of "offenslveness and Impro­priety”*) frequently were sustained by the court.

But one new feature appeared In the testimony of the witness. This was when she told about Thaw swal­lowing the contents of a bottle of laudanum at Monte Carlo In 1904 In an attempt to end his life.

Coffee Finally Had to Go,

The way some persons cling to cof­fee even after they know it Is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But It is an easy m atter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead.

A girl writes: * Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee.

"One day I asked her why she did not give up coffeo as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought It would be terrible to give It up.

"Finally, one day. she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish 1 asked for a taste.

That started me on Postum and I now drink It more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now.

A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her It was Postum and gave her some to take home but forgot to tell her how to make it

"The next day ahe said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made It like ordinary coffee So I told her how to make it right and gave her a cupful I made after boiling It fifteen minutes, she said she never drank any coffee that tasted

A Thanksgiving 8 tory.Mr. Solon Redman came Into the

kitchen with a large manuscript book In one hand, a pencil back of hla ear and a look of mild Inquiry beaming over the rims of his glasses.

‘‘I believe you called me, Brother Tarjn-dld you not?” he Inquired with a r ? placidity.'• " r i l l e d ! I shrieked and bellowed lla t a Comanche!" Mr. Tap Redman closqd the oven door with a click and bobbed up, fanning his hot, red face with the big check-apron he wore tied around his neck; ‘‘it wasn't until my poor old throat almost split, like a locust-bug’s hull, I got any answer."

“I was quite deeply engaged writing an article upon the manifestations and conditions of Martinique,” apologized the elder brother; “I didn't hear at first.”

“Well, let Martinique slide for to­day and help me out,” requested Tap. "I've simply got to ride to the store for the stuff I couldn't get yesterday— Joe Lamar guaranteed It’d be there Ihis morning, and I can’t leave these cooking things—don't look so dazed, brother. This, as I told you this morn­ing, Is Thanksgiivng day, and we’re going to have the old major and An- genette to dinner.”

"Oh," returned his brother, "it had dodged out of my mind. And aren't things cooking all right? Can't I go to my room and proceed with 'Martin­ique' and let 'em cook?"

“No," said Tap, firmly; "they'll cut all kinds of capers If you don't keep right at them.”

“Poor, excellent old Solon,” mused Mr. Tapley Redman, affectionately, as ho loped lightly down the frost-hard­ened road on his horse In the dun, foggy atmosphere of November. "What a fine thing It would havo been all around if he could have taken his worthy head out of the dense old literary clouds at some period of his life long enough to have fallen in love with a nice girl, and married her. Crlcky—Angle and I'd have been mar­ried ten years hack and keeping house for ourselves, happy as phoebe-birds.”

Angle and I write to each other once or twice a year; but I didn't have time to write to her after I made up my mind to come on a visit. Now I’ve got in a nice fix!

“It's a cheeky thing,” said sjje, at last, “for you to ask me to do, but I don’t know who has a right to perse­cute us for it, unlesB Tap should. And I could make you another pudding.”

“Good enough,” shouted Solon, "we'll hunt up the things. But should you

HYMNS OF K O TONGUBS.

Origin of Many Sacred Song* Told by an English Authority.

There are no less than 400,000 Christian hymns, according to Dr. Julian, the celebrated English au­thority on sacred music, and they have been written In 200 or more lan­guages and dlalecta, says the Phlladel-

. phla Press.Most popular among these, he says,

are: “Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me;" “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing;” “Awake, My 8oul, and with the Sun,” and “When I 8urvey the Wondrous Cross.”

Some Interesting stories are con­nected with the origin of a number of the famous hymns. For Instance, it Is told that the English prelate, BlBhop Blckersteth, wrote “Peace, Perfect Peace” at the deathbed of a relative. Archdeacon Hill of Liverpool, and that the latter read the verses and compli­mented them before he passed away.

“JuBt As I Am,” s&id Dr. Julian, w &b written by an invalid, Charlotte El­liott, while she waa lying almost help­less upon a sofa. All her relatives had gone to an entertainment and as she Buffered alone In her home she sighed that she might be taken away just as she was and the verses of the hymn which thousands now sing sprang into her mind.

John Byrom, the author of “Chris­tians, Awake,” write that beautiful hymn as a Christmas offering for his daughter. He Inscribed upon the manuscript, “Christmas Day for Dolly.”

“Rock of Ages," It is said, was writ­ten by Augustus Toplady while he lay sheltered from a storm under two gi­gantic limestone rocks, but there Is no proof upon which this can be based.

U T I L I Z E R ,I l l u s i o n s

Solon and Tapley Redman were bachelors, aged respectively 55 and 45. Solon represented* the family Intel­lect; he had once been a college pro­fessor, but had abandoned that field and plunged Into the deepB and shal­lows of literature. A small Inheritance precluded any close proximity of the tfolf of w ant— fortunately, since Solon's returns for his treatises wero scanty. Tapley spliced out the Joint Income by means of garden vege­tables. chickens, eggs and the keeping of bees.

The patrimonial dwelling, set boldly upon a rise of ground close to the country road, offered a convenient ob­jective point for strangers, lost or strayed, and for inquirers generally. Consequently. Solon, upon opening the kitchen door In response to a brisk knock, and finding there a fat, bloom­ing little woman in shining silver gray silk, as neat as a new minted dime, waited calmly for the usual form of Inquiry which came thus:

"Could you tell me where Major and Miss Angenette Ring live?"

"Certainly, ma'am," Solon beamed at the inquirer across the gold rim of hla glasses; "you go straight along the road to where a lane turns to the left, then about half way to the next turn. At the corner of the lane you can Bee both Maj. Ring's house and this."

"And so I did," the little woman an­swered. “but I Imagined this was the right place, and It waa nearer. And I thought I should have my pains for nothing when I did get there, and that nobody was home; I couldn't make anyone hear at the front, so I came around. The air is so nipping I'm half frozen.”

"Come In, then, and w»rm up,” In­vited Solon, hospitably; “we have plenty of fire here."

"I should Bay you had!” The call­er looked wonderlngly at the blazlng- red top of the range; then Bhe sniffed Inquiringly at the air; "Don't you know that pudding is burning fast to the kettle—can't you smell It?" she asked, getting Into a stir of excite­ment, and with housewifely Instinct.

In a second she had laid her muff and neat silver-gray gloves upon the table and waB examining the pudding.

der. He fervently wished he could put the whole responsibility of the cook­ery business Into the plump, capable hands of the provtdentlally-accldental stranger. An idea worked slowly into his brain.

“I’m not very well up In polite ways,” he prefaced its utterance, "so I trust you will take no offense at my asking what I, myself, can see no harm In—that you take dinner with Tap and me to-day—hold on a mo­ment—of course I know we’re two old bachelors, but your friends, Maj.

Grateful Hen.Chicken fanciers and agriculturists

! hereabouts are puzzled over a reinark- { able egg-laying hen living under the j guardianship of Jacob Geler In Madt- l eon avenue. The hen strayed from

her roost and wandered Into Geler’s back yard several weks ago. When Oeler opened his kitchen door the hen flapped her wings.'^flew on the porch and In at the open door past Geler.

"That chick must be durn hungry; I'll feed her up good and strong, b’gum,” said Geler to his wife.

He made good his word by prepar­ing a ration of milk and bread, which the hen devoured ravenously. Cack­ling her thanks, she departed to the back yard. About an hour later the hen was discovered sitting comforta­bly on a settee on the porch. ’When the fire whistle tooted the noon hour the hen exuded a Joyous series of cackles. When Geler arrived on the scene he beheld a fresh-laid egg and"Er—hem," coughed Solon, In em­

barrassed apology. "I should have I the hen strutting proudly around thepresented my card, but I haven't any handy. My name Is Solon Red­man.”

“Oh," said the visitor, “I’ve heard of you and Tap both, then, through Angle Ring's letters. I am Abble An­drews. I’m a widow.”

Tapley Redman welcomed the unex­pected guest with hearty cordiality; the pudding alone, with Its foamy, bubbly fragrant sauce, would have won a welcome for Its manufacturer.

"For. as true as you live,” Tap con­fided to her, "I’m afraid mine would havo been tough, If It hadn't burned."

Miss Angle Ring twittered In Joy­ful su rp r is e , like a merry barn swal­low, when she met her friend.

The Thanksgiving dinner was a bril­liant success—owing to Mrs. Abble'a opportune arrival on the scene of Its preparation.

In the pale, quiet twilight of the Thanksgiving day, when the two friends sat together before Miss Angle's cheery fire-place and the major slept In his Morris chair, fUe-llght confi­dences were Inspired.

The farmer who has senselessly corned his soli for years without ro­tation of cereals or legumes to re­store humus, and thus save fertility. Is told that he is robbing the earth of phosphorus. If the farmer could be permitted to know some simple truths that underlie the science of agricul­ture, instead of Illusions that are de­signedly kept before him, his troubles would quickly cease.

That the sqn actually rises In the east Is an Illusion, yet our race stub­bornly believed It a fact for thousands of years. That our crop plants draw the greater part of their substance from the earth in which they stand Is an­other illusion nearly as great as the former, for it Is chemically demon­strated from analyzing the ashes of burned vegetation that 99 per cent, of some plants, and the immeasurably great body of most of them, conies di­rectly from the elements in water and air, while the part called by Rolfe's chemistry the “insignificant part ot the plant” is supplied by the earth, and only after it has been dissolved In water and absorbed by the roots.

Dr. Asa Gray, the botanist of Har­vard college, has demonstrated this fact, and goes much farther. He says that such elements as magnesia, iron, sulphur and phosphorus “make no real part of the fabric of plants." He further says that "the ashes of plants consist principally of materials that happen to be dissolved In the water taken up by the roots." He is borne out by the government bulletins In reaching the conclusion that the ash analysis of plants Is not a safe guide as to what the function of these min­eral elements Is In plant life. He also Incidentally defines a rich soil as one "which contains decomposing animal and vegetable matter.” He compares the minerals found in the leaves of plants to the lime found In a teakettle, more of an incident than a necessity to the circulation of water In them.

The part that water and the simple elements of air play In the plant growth can be seen in viewing the large trees that often grow from the crevasses of great rocks, whose only soil are some particles Of crumbling stone., and very slightly soluble In water. Some plants grow well with­out any connection with the earth or Its mineral solvents. Good yields of potatoes have bi>en made by putting them on top of the ground, and spread Ing thin layers of straw over them. In such cases where the moisture and climatic conditions are favorable, they have done well without a single atom of the soil contents. But planting them In the earth would Insure a more lasting moisture, and add, perhaps, to the yield.

Another Illusion is that while the air will furnish Its bountiful quota of plant foods, the earth is all the while becoming deficient In Its supply The nitrogen of the air, one of the chief plant foods. If concentrated, would form an ocean four miles deep, en­veloping the globe. The oxygen of the atmosphere would add another mile In thickness, while carbonic acid, an other great air plant food, which fur nishes the carbon or fiber of plants.

WORK W FAKI KIDNI

vents, but Is 4,000 miles in depth, be­fore the center, at least. Is reached. No machinery has yet got below the earth's all-permeating ocean of soli moisture. This ocean Is like the sea, also full of solvents, for It gathers In its great bosom every mineral and every mineral acid or salt that water can attack.

That the mineral solvents can be exhausted and the soil moisture ren­dered weak In some of them becomes an absurdity, when It is known that this moisture comes from limitless depths and wide lateral space*. Hitch­cock, the geologist, says that "potas­sium constitutes seven per cent, of the stratified rocks. The other mineral elements and their salts are propor­tionally as general and bountiful In nature.”

If the air can supply the nitrogen and carbonic acid, which it does in the humus and the manure that intelli­gent farmers keep, in our black soils sufficiently for 100 planets like ours, then out of the earth's exhaustless body of mineral solvents there is enough, certainly, for 1,000 planets, especially when we consider the in­significant minimum of these fur­nished along with the colossal contri­butions given by the air to vegeta­tion.

With the first carefulA' fostered il­lusion that the earth furnishes any considerable part of the crop plants dispelled from the farmer's brain, ho is rid of the greatest part of his trouble. With the second greater il­lusion exposed, namely, that either the air plant foods or those of the earth may ever become scarce, another mountain of confusion passes. But a third great illusion carefully encour­aged has been the cause of blunder and blight, namely, the illusion that whatever makes an apparent growth in plants is always good for the soil.

Plant foods and stimulants for the soil are essentially different things In their effect. Every one has noticed In our pastures and growing grain fields higher and richer spots or tufts caused by the droppings of stock. This richness is due to ammonia, which is an available form of nitrogen, a plant food, formed by nature. This manure, like the enriching humus or decaying vegetable matter of the soil, has the power to absorb and retain moisture, and moisture in turn has a capacity for absorbing 700 times Its bulk of the food ammonia.

Hut lime, on the other hand. Is not a food, but It defined by Rowland as a stimulant. And Dr. Youmans ex­plains Its course as a stimulant bet­ter when he says It rapidly breaks up the compounds In the earth and quick­ly causes them to run their course. It chemically releases other foods In the soil, but does so at Its expense. It violently attacks the . humus, or de' composing matter, which is the great­est source of fertility. Its continued use under various forms will, as bit­ter experience has taught the eastern states, impoverish the most splendid soil. In England they have a saying: "Lime makes the father rich, but the son poor."

Policeman Kneirem, of the Tender­loin precinct, saw an old man beating a small boy on Seventh avenue re­cently In a fashion that reminded Uio officer of the happy days when he used to beat It from the parental beating. So with a cheerful smile, having chil­dren of his own, the policeman ap­proached the old man.

"Listen," replied the man; “hair an hour ago I sent Isaac to the delicates­sen. I gave him two quarters, one with which to buy bread, the other to buy fish. And now he comes back and says he wants to know which quarter Is for the fish and which for the bread. Is It enough?’’

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY

His Hands Were a Solid Mass, andDisease Spread All Over Body—Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura.

“One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn’t think anything serious would resu lt But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease bad spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this Itch­ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti­cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and th^t night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with 1L I did this every evening and In four nights he was entirely cured.

One of the first questions that comes to the mind of the farmer, when con­sidering the purchase of a gasoline engine, is as to their safety and some information on that subject may help some to reach an Intelligent decision. No one should buy an engine until as­sured that It is perfectly safe, when given ordinary attention, for to have confidence In such a matter means a great deal toward the suc­cessful operation of the outfit.

The writer has for some 15 years been connected with the gasoline en gine industry in building, Installing, repalling and selling, and the result of that experience is that there is no safer means of power offered for farm use to-day than a well made high grade gasoline engine. We shall en­deavor to consider this m atter from the farmer’s point of view and try to show how to avoid the situations in which any element of danger may ex­ist. There are details In the design vt some engines that contribute to a possibility of danger more than others end these details all apply to the man­ner In which each engine is equipped for storing the proper charge. ;One way is to carry the supply in a tank which Is placed below the level of the Rasollnc pump on the engine, the pump drawing gasoline from the tank and forcing It to the mixer, any sur­plus not needed by the engine flowldg back through another pipe to the

last half as long; it Is only capable of so many revolutions. A pendulum may be forced to swing further forward, but it will swing the same distance backward.

So a stimulant whips inborn vitality into the appearance of strength only to impoverish In the end Such facts should he pondered by our tillers of the corn belt.

| In cases where the engine Is placed ! on a permanent foundation at the

barn, the supply tank should be placed outside the building and protected by means of a good strong box. When the engine is required to be moved around then the tank is placed on the skid with the engine or, better still, the base of the engine is made to hold the gasoline. This is stronger, does away with a good deal of piping and consequent liability of leaks occuring

The other method un?d on some en­gines is to carry the supply tank high­er than the mixing valve and is com­monly called the gravity feed, to dis­tinguish It from the pump feed.

For stationary work this is seldom seen now. hut Is frequently found on engines skidded so they can be moved around. Insurance companies object very strongly to the use of the gravity feed method.

A Comparison.—The Ohio experi­ment station, in a recently published report, shows very plainly the differ­ence between a profitable and un­profitable cow, making the comparison between two rows belonging to the station herd. One earned |90.69 In one year, which left a profit of |29.72 after paying for her keeping. Another one earned $68.55 and gave a profit of only $3.82. Using these facts In an­other way. for a man to clean up $1,000 a year he would need only 34 cows like the first one. Of the sec­ond he would require a herd of 262.
