more "old-time oddities" in the "cor-

ed by the celebrated Annie Steward.
1t is said that she left by will be-

lieve the reward has never been

"The noblest action in the world OF art,
The brightest gem that nature can impart,
The point essential in lawyers case,
The well known signal in time of peace,
The farmers prompter when he drives the
pillow,
The soldiers duty and the lovers vow,
The planet seen between the earth and sun,
The prize that merit never yet has won,.
The miSer's treasure and the badge ofJews,
The wife's ambition and the parsons dues;
Now if your noble spirit can divine,
A corresponding word of every line,
By the first letters will be shown
An ancient city of small renown."

Civilization Artificial.

L IOl. DumucE. ~. I
A civilized society exists on an ar
tificial level. The domestic animals
which we use are not the ones which
Nature gave us. They have been
brought by the labor and ingenuity
of man so far away from their origi-
nal type that we do not always know
what the latter was. The grains,
fruits, and vegetables which we eat
are not any which Nature gave us.
We have transformed them out of all
semblance to their original types.
The clothes which we wear were new
er given to us by Nature. Between
anything given by Nature and the
shoes, hats, coats, and dresses which
we wear, lies history of thousands
of years of labor, experiment, ingen-
uity and caprice. Our houses were
not given to us by Nature. A mod
ern house has a history thousands of
years long when we call to mind the
steps of invention and experiment,
and the thousand converging lines of
discovery and invention Of details
which have gone to make it. The
whole environment of a civilized
man is artificial.

One of the most interesting of the

put is the manufacture of paper bot

Their evolution of paper in the shape
OF paper bottles, which are already
quite extensively used for containing
such substances as ink, bluing, shoe
dressing, glue, etc., and they would
seem to be equally well adapted for
containing large variety of articles.
They are made by rolling glued
sheets of paper into long cylinders,
which are then cut into suitable
lengths, tops and bottoms are fitted
in, the inside coated with a water
proof compound, and all this is done
by machinery almost as quickly as
one can count. ..,.
They are cheaper and lighter than
glass, unbreakable, and consequent
ly very popular with consumers,
while the fact that they require no
packing material, and are clean,
handy, and economical, commends
them tomanufacturers. Unlike glass,
they can be manufactured and ship
ped at all seasons; and being made
by machinery, the supply is indie
pendent of labor troubles, which are
additional advantages to manufactu.

What are Trusts {?
Kate Clyde,

Farm and Preside, Springfield, O.
Regarding the great "trusts," some
of which are now the subject of legis-
lative investigation, the Grange Lee
t,wer uses the following forcible Ian
guage:
"The multiplication of great trade
c0nspiracies, called trusts, formed
upon the model afforded by the
Standard Oil monopoly, sets before
the people of this country a problem
which in defense of their rights, they
must soon undertake to solve. A
trust is combination devised for the
establishment and maintenance of a
monopoly in such way that the
real design of its founders and the OPP
peration of its machinery are in great
measure concealed from the public.
Absolutely controlling large num-
Der of corporations which seem to be
independent of each other, monopo-
ly in this form presents to the world
the features of ordinary competition.
But behind the mask there is only
monopoly, heartless, tyrannical and
oppressive. The trusts of these days
they are not corporations, but by
usurping the franchises of many
corporations they exert, without the
restraining influence of charter regu-
lations, enormous power. They are
monopolies of monopolies."
AS an illustration of the burden OF
taxation these trusts can impose on
the people of this country for their
own exclusive benefit, take that Of
the sugar refners. 1t is estimated
that this country annually consumes
about 5000, 100000 pounds of sugar
An advance in the price for one year
of only one cent pound would then
simply take from the consumers an
extra $50, 900, 0OO-quite a neice little
item to divide among comparatively
few large dealers, the majority Of
whom are on the inside of the "com
bine."

ance tax were made it was found that
the Henrietta A. Lenox estate paid on
account of this tax $40. 534. Mary j.

A BIT OF EXPERIENCE.

have met with good many people
In jogging Ger life's varied way;
I've encountered the clever, the simple,
The grabbed, the grave, the gay;
l have travelled with beauty, with virtue;
have been with the ugly, the bad,
have laughed with the ones that are merry,
And with the ones who were sad.
One thing have learned in my journey
Never to judge one by what he appears;
The eyes that seem sparkling with laughter
Oft battle to keep back the tears,
And long sauctimonious faces,
Hide often the souls that are vile,
While the heart that is merry and cheerful
Is often the freest from guile.
And I've learned not to look for perfection
In one of frail humankind.
In hearts the most gentle and loving,
Some blemish or fault we can find.
But yet have meier found the creature
So low, SO depraved, or so mean,
But had some good impulse-Some virtue
That 'mong his bad traits might be SEEM
And, too, have learned that most friend
ships
We make, are as brittle as glass;
Just let reverse oyertake us
Our "friends" ON the ''other side" pass.
But, ah have found some few loyal
Some hearts ever loving and true!
And the Joy and the peace they have
brought me
Have cheered me my whole journey
through.

and we had with difficulty assembled
some two thousand feet, when a
thick mist was seen descending upon
us, quite obscuring the whole face OF
the heavens. l thought / had no
hope left but at once to retrace our
steps or be lost; but as the cloud
came. nearer, and darkness overshad-
owed me, my guide ran on before
me, penetrating the mist, and call
ing to me ever anon, saying: Press
on, master, press on; there's light
beyondv / did press on. In a few
minutes the mist was passed, and [
gazed upon a scene of transcendent
beauty. All was light and cloudless
above and beneath was the almost
level mist, concealing the world be-
low me and glistening in the rays of
the sun like a field of untrodden
snow. There was nothing at that mo-
ment between me and the heavens"
Dye over whom the clouds are
gathering, or who have sat beneath
the shadows, be not dismayed if they
rise before you. Press on; there is
light beyond.

ENoLAND's NEW RIFLE.
The Military Weapon Adopted by the
British War Office.

Tho Military Weapon Adopted by the
British War Office.
In view of The feverish anxiety dis
played by France and Germany in
hurrying on the manufacture of maya
zine rifles, the factories working day
and night, it is satisfactory TO learn
that our own War Office is bent upon
k eeplng pace with the times. The
Small Arms committee, appointed as
far back as 1864 to consider the SUBJ
ject have practically settled upon
rifle which is now before the Secretary
of State for War. 1t having been
definitely decided that small-bore
magazine is to be the arm of the
future, and a responsible committee.
after protractcd and exhaustive trials.
having recommended an arm which
fulfils all the conditions necessary for
a military weapon, immediate steps
should be taken to expedite the
manufacture both by the trade
and the Government factory
at Enfield. The new arm,
which is of the same length as the
present service rifle, and carries the
oil bottle and rag in the butt, weighs
with its magazine only 9 pounds 5
ounces, The calibGr is. 1903; the bullet
cased with copper, weighs 217 grains;
and the charge is n grains of COM
pressed powder The magazine, which
is not fixture, as has been stated,
but is detachable at will, holds eight
cartridges. and lies just in front of the
trigger-guard, under the action. Not
only can the soldier carry nearly
third more cartridges than at present,
but the penetration, smashing power,
accuracy and range are all superior to
the present service weapon. The
trajectory is much lower, and last, but
not least, there is perceptible recoil.
This alone, apart from its other good
qualities and general hardness, should
commend the new weapon to our SOL
diers. The committee confidently pre-
dict that not only will the difficulty of
teaching recruits disappear, but that
the shooting of the army generally
will be vastly improved when the new
rifle is issued. London army and NGry

Mr.. c. X. Murray, OF Charlottesville,

at one time. He then began the use of

three bottles, the carbancles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause OF innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations Of scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy Che evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail TO effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
