A Nice Place TO Live In.

happy in Morocco, if his enthusiasm rose
superior to the weakness of the flesh

Gusts would be Il scOurge to the farming

Smnkn ON Tan.

We understand that some enterprising
young men of this city, acting on the
plan of the steam supply company, arc
forming q company to supply smokers
with tobacco smoke. They will start up
with capital of $40, 600, S., 900 of which
will be invested in a large meerchaum
pipe, something like cauldron kettle,
to be centrally located, from which ser
vice pipes will reach In all directions.
Pressure will be applied and the cool,
pure smoke forced through all the ram1-
ications of the system of tubes. Lit Is
claimed by the projectors that the plan
possesses features that viii bring 1t at
once into favor with smokers, and that 1t
win be much cheaper, besides doing
away with the trouble and annoyance OF
keeping q pipe, a tobacco-pouch, and
matches. It Is estimated that the aver
age smoker consumes an hours time
each day in keeping a pipe in or
der. In borrowing tobacco, and In
hunting up a match, which is liable to
80 ont, which amounts to fifteen days
time in O year, and this at So day
amounts to an aggregate of $40. All
this will be saved by having a convenient
coil of tubing and nice amber mouth
piece, which the smoker can take up at
any time and find already lighted and
''going." It is also shown that man
who smokes a pipe smokes more than is
good for him, as he always smokes 1T
ont from force of habit, while, by the
new plan he will only take few whiffs
to take the rabbit fur out of his mouth
and clear his brain, when he will lay the
subject aside for future reference. The
company viii guarantee frst-class to-
bacco-no dog-leg brand, or ''dry re-
moval' stuff from the sewers being per-
nlitted to be thrown in by the fireman at
the central office-and the smoke will be
thoroughly denicotinized by passing it
througha tank of rose water, thus avoid
ing that unpleasant sensation caused by
tipping a pipe up, carelessly, and getting
q taste of something like Lake Superior
whisky or oil of vitriol Nothing will be
left undone for the comfort of patrons,
and a gentlemanly collector will call once
q month and take the meter. There does
not seem to be any possible chance for
the failure of the scheme, and it is des-
tined soon to rank alongside of the tele
phone and milk wagon, as one of the
cOnveniences and luxuries worked out
for humanity by the inventive genius of
the nineteenth century. It will be
nothing less than a giant stride in to-
baccO smoke progress. --Peck'S SIN.

A New Boston Notion.

The purpose of the Institute of
Heredity" is sufficiently shown in a four
page circular which has been sent out
from Boston. It is intended ''to recon-
struct and establish the foundations of
social order upon the natural laws of
human life and relations. We are told
that "the causes" of q great many social
disorders and misfortunes, indeed almost
all of them, care congenital People
who are born with theft and murder in
their blood will steal and kill" Further
it is insisted that 1.-THE public good re-
quires, as essential conditions of its
peace, safety and welfare that the citizens
of the future shall not come to their so
cial tasks burdened in advance with in
herited tendencies to disease or vice or
crime; for, ON becoming public burdens,
such citizens only react the wrong first
committed against them" This is suff-
GENTLY specific. The difficulty in the
case is that, adopting the premises and
conceding the conclusions, it is one
thing to put the remedy for these great
and growing ills upon paper and it is
quite another thing to put them into
practice. -NeaO York EUcRiag Post.

Fir Forests.

TIE fir tree growths of Puget Sound
form one of the wonders of the American
world. They average 200 feet in height,
and some specimens have been cut that
measured 800 feet in length and II feet
in diameter at the base, with straight
and well proportional log length of so
feet to the first limb. The cedar trees
are in like proportion, and are most valu-
able for wooden wares of all kinds, while
the frs are the best for spar and ship
timber yet found in any country. There
are few nations that do not use them in
ship building. One-fourth the wealth
of San Francisco was culled from the frs
of Puget Sound while the government
slept. and to-day all the principal steam
mill owners who saw and prepare for
market from 100 to 200, 900 feet a day to
each miiI-and there are thirty or more
mills-are residents of San Francisco,
where they invest their profits, to the
great injury of residents of the Sound.
There is, apparently, no exhaustion OF
the timber, and century will possibly
elapse before Puget Sound forests will be
cleared of their immense resources OF va
ried tree groWths.

Temporary Preachers.

In Boston there is a certain religious
publishing establishment, which Is rec
ogniZed as a headquarters for ministers
seeking temporary preaching places. 1t

have a dash of the "carpet-bagger" ele-
ment in their ecclesiastical and profess
siOnal makeup. Some of them are men
of talent who are little run down. Some
are men who have worn themselves out
In pastoral service, some are do-nOthings,
and some are very excellent brethren,
who are worthy of steady employment,
but who somehow or other do not man.
age to be favored with FcaIls," as their
more lucky brethren are. Any church
wanting a supply for Sunday is almost
sure to find it here in various grades of
quality, and at corresponding rates of
pay. The more expensive ministers are
not to be found in this way, but rather
The low-priced ones. A few of these re-
seiye as high fee as twenty dollars o
Sunday. Many are glad to go for ten,
and there are some whose efforts can be
secured for five dollars. These five-dol-
ar brethren are not esteemed, either the
raost eloquent or themost original. They
generally have q faded manuscript or two
with them Sometimes they are given
to what they call extemporaneous preach
ing, that is to say, they preach without
manuscripts, but they give their hearers
a repetition of what they have preached
over and over again so often that they
have no need of manuscript as an aid
to memory. This Boston headquarters
of ministerial supply is an informal
thing which attends to itself, and has
grown up from the mutual necessities of
churches and ministers It regulates it
self, costs nobody anything, and is worth
a great deal to those who make use of it.
It's operation is quiet, and few people
except those who are directly benefited
by it know of its existence.

First Things in American Iron.

Iron was first made in America in
1920, at q point ON Falling creek, a
branch of the James river, in Virginia
The first iron manufactured west OF
the Allegheny mountains was made In
FaYette county, Pa, in 1870.
The first rolling-mill west of the Al
legheny mountains was located on Cheat
river, in what is now West Virginia.
The date of its erection is unknown.
The first rolling-mill in Pittsburgh
was built by Christopher Cowan, an En-
glishman, in 1872. Tt had no pudding
furnaces nor was it intended to roll bar
iron.
The first rolling-mil erected west of
the Alleghenies to puddle iron and roll
bars was built in 1915 and 1917, at a
place called Middletown, better known
rs Plumsock, in Fayette county, Pa.
Pig-iron, manufactured with bitumin-
Gus coke, is claimed to have first been
made as regular product in the United
States by f. H. Oliphant, at UniontoWn,
Fayette county, Pa, in 1886.
Knocked bituminous coal was first
used in a blast-furnace about the year
l843, In the ShenangO valley, Pa.
The first use of Lake Superior iron
ore in q blast-furnace was in 1853, By
David and John Agnew, at Sharpsville,
Mercer county, Pa.
Cast-steel was made in the American
colonies at an early day. In 1905 there
were two steel-furnaces in Pennsylvania,
producing $50 tons of steel annually.
Bessemer steel was first made in the
United States at Wyandotte, Mich, in
the autumn of 1854.
The first RaSsay77a or c4ooI yoiIo 7.o1Ia5 n,
this country were rolled at the North
Chicago rolling-miu on the Oath of May,
1865, from hammered blooms made at
the Wyandotte rolling-mill from ingots
of steel made at the experimental steel
works at Wyandotte.
The first iron rails of any kind made
in this country were cast by the Lehigh
Navigation Company, at their foundry
in the upper end of Mauch Chunk, Pa,
in 1896 A few fiat rails were rolled
priol to 1912, but such rails were only
bar iron. The manufacture of heavy
wrought rails was commenced at the Mt.
Savage rolling mill, IN Allegheny county,
Md, in 1914.
The first iron vessel built in the
United States was launched at Pitts
burgh III 1889. It was named the Val
ley Forge. For general navigation pur-
poses it was completely successful.
Other iron vessels were built at Pitts
burgh within the next decade, among
them an iron schooner for ocean service,
and an iron steamer, the Michigan, for
service on the lake-bOth built for the
Government about 1912. The latter is
still doing Government service on the
lakes.

Diplomatic Dwellings in Washington.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says: Connecticut avenue seems to be
the favorite location for residences for
the diplomatic corps A few years ago
the British Government erected a mag
nificent building, containing about sew
enty apartments, for the use of its am
bassador, on this avenue, at the inter-
section of n street 1t is the only Gov
eminent which owns its own legation
building in Washington, but other Gov
ernments are contemplating following
the example of Great Britain, and either
purchasing or erecting buildings for
their embassies. A number of other
Governments have, however, rented
buildings on Connecticut avenue for the
use of their representatives. The Chi
nese Legation occupy the splendid man
sion of Ex-Governor Shepherd, on
the corner of Connecticut avenue
and K street The Russian Min
lister occupies u residence just on the
north. The French Legation are on one
corner, and in the same block are the
Austrian, Turkish, and italian Lega-
tons.

Autiuuity Mt Table,

They did not dine simply in the Spir-
itual era. We have had nothing in later
times to excel in prOfusion and SpleudOr
the feast given in the third year of mis-
reign by Ahasuerus, King of all the
earth from Ethiopia to the Indus, in his
capital of Susa, to tine most illusrious
and the meanest of the Modes and Per-
slams. We read in the book of Esther
how the six months fete wound up with
q banquet in the royal gardens, to which
the small and great among the citizens
were invited. The description preserves
the magnificence of the jubilee. The
multitude ate and drank in the shade of
gorgeous curtains, white, blue and hya-
cinth. very probably that tapestry OF
Babylon for a chamber suite of which q
Roman Emperor long after gave G32, :
900 of our money, or may have been
some costly fabric of pyrian weft.
These curtains were suspended by rings
of ivory attached 10 marble columns.
The guests reclined on couches of ivory
and silver, which stood on pavements
of jasper, porphyry and alabaster,
adorned with exquisite paintings. They
drank out of golden cups, the meals
were served in dishes continual y varied,
the wine, of the rarest quality, flowed
as from fountains. Ahasuerus enter
tanned in q manner worthy of a mighty
prince, but by all accounts the monarch
and his hospitality were comp. etely
eclipsed by Solomon in all his glory.
No nation since or before was more pros
porous than Israel under the wise King.
The precious metals were almost as com
mon in Jerusalem as Candlde found
them to be in Ell Dorado. The daily
consumption of food at Solomon's table
included thirty measures of fine flour,
sixty measures of meal, ten fat oxen, ten
grazing oxen, 100 sheep, beside harris,
roe-bucks, fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
The royal menage was, of course, in
keeping with the noble commjssariat,
which was superintendent by twelve OIL
GERS, each of whom discharged the duties
of lions provider or caterer for the
Kings table during one month of the
year. IEnsley's Magazine.

The nomination of II on. Chas. D.
Bradley for judge of the Sixth Judicial
district meets the warm approval of
every republican in the district and
hewill receive their hearty support.
His nomination was not only a high
compliment to Governor Pitkin, who
appointed him at the time the state
was redistricted for judicial purposes,
but it is compliment to Judge Brad
ley's capability as lawyer and judge.
His decisions upon the bench have
been prompt and correct and his
treatment of attorneys, clerks and
parties engaged in suits has been in
variably courteous and kind. He will
receive the full republican vote in
this county and no doubt in every
county in the district. c. d. Hayt
for district attorney is good nomi-
nation and meets with general ap-
proval. He is comparatively young
man, but earnest in his work. His
knowledge of the law makes him per-
fectly capable of attending to all OF
the business which may come before
him in the district.

Fire.

just about the half hour past noon
Wednesday the alarm of fire was
sounded by the fire bell to which the
fircmcn promptly responded. A
heavy volumn of smoke and flame
was issuing from the old log cabin in
the Douglass corral, occupied by Hem
Erickson & Utter as a carpenter shop.
In spite of the thick mud the water
from the hose was knocking the shin
giles like frightened pigeons from the
roof in seven minutes from the time
the alarm was rung. In very short
time the fire was out. The loss of
the carpenters tools was probably
nearly 800. The cause OF tho fire
was the burning of shavings by one
of them in the building.
