LOOKOUT FOR CHEAP WHIsKEY.
New YORK, July "A Washing
ton special to the Evening Telegram
says Commissioner Raum said, today
the failure to provide for deputy mar
shals was virtual repeal of the crimi-
nal portion Of the law relating. to illicit
distiIling. Deputy collectors of inter
nal revenue have power to make seiz.
ures of property for violations of the
law, but have not the power to make
arrests. IF a person was detected in
illicit distillins he could not prevent
the officers from seizing the distlllery
but he could stand still and defy ar
rests. BY next Sunday every distiller
in the country will know what the ef-
feet will be of having no deputy mar
sha.s to aid the revenue officers, and |
suppose the dishonest ones will seek to
take advantage Of the crippled condi-
ton of the Office.

The first book printed in British
North America was, as is we'll known,
the Bay Psalm Book" which was, as
printed at Cambridge by Samuel Daye
in 1910; but about century earlier
than that there was press set up in
the City Of Mexico for printing re-
legious works. This was the first print
ing press on the American continent.
The Lenox library at New York con-
taips one ofits productions-the Doc
trina Christina" (which is dated 1913.
AS might be expected, WORKS from
this old press are excessively rare, and
worth literally more than their weight
in gold. The bay Psalm Boo" is,
however, the most valuable of Ameri-
can books in the market, fine copy
being worth about 81 200.

PLoWING BY ELECTRIC[TY.- At a
recent meeting of the Paris Academ y
of Sciences, Mr.. Tresca gave an ac-
count Of some experiments in plowing
bv electricity which he witnessed at
Sermaise, in the Marne. A Gramme
machine, making 1900 revolutions per
minute: and driven by steam-engine,
was connected to second Gramme at
a distance of 44O yards, and caused
the latter to revolve at the rate of |,
40 revolutions to the minute, the
electricity produced by the first ma
chine being thus converted into work.
The second machine was connected to
third at distance of 2l9 yards, and
these two worked cables attached to a
double Brabant plow According to
NJ. Tresca. the experiment was very
successful, the work accomplished re-
presenting the equivalent Of three
horse power, while one-half of the mo
tive power obtained from the steam
engine was really transferred to DIS
tance of more than 900 yards from
the furnace.

The way Vanderbilt Succeeded.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steamboats,, he beat all rivals
by troWing OH steam to the utmost,
and even running down his enemy if
necessary, to accomplish triumph.
When he went to railroading, he adop-
ted a much shrewder and more success
ful way, by uniting vast lines and their
tributaries under his own management
thus capturing all rivals, by sharing
with them the immense pool of profits
that were made by his skillful manipu-
.lation. Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Ban
kers, n. Y, accomplish much greater
success in stock operations by their
new Combination Method of
dealing. By this system the orders by
thousands of customers are pooled into
one vast sum and CO. operated under the
most experienced management, thus
giving to each shareholder all the ben
efits of large capital and best skill.
Profits divided monthly. Any amount
from $5 to $4,000 can be used with
great success. $15 will make $75 profit.

Ponds Extract,

Prejudice is sometimes apt to interfere
with our comfort in life. and to cause US
to do injustice to some worthy article or
object, This was exemplifed in the ex-
perience of very worthy lady, short
time ago.
Her daughter was firm believer in the
efficacy of PoND's EXTRACT, but such was
the elder lady's prejudice against it, term
ing it quack medicine, she would not al
low it in the house.
1t happened that the mother severely
burned her hand with the fre-poker, and
while suffering intensely, the younger lady,
without intimatating her intention, dressed
her hand with the Extract, from a bottle
she kept secreted iu her own room. Relief
from pain was instantaneous, and the re-
suit was marvellously satisfactory; and
when the patient was made acquainted
with the remedy doing her so much good,
she acknowledged herself in the wrong,
and ever afterward was warm advocate
of POND's EXTRACT,
