Those Resolutions.

Mr.. EDITOR I notice that the
" National Reform Party" have pub
lished resolutions, wherein they
state that I am arming the police
and others, and calling them to-
gether at unreasonable times under
pretense of threatened disturb
ances," and further, that they con-
denim the action of the Marshal or
others concerned as being not only
hurtful to the we'll being and good
repute of this community, but also
dangerous to the general peace"
In reply thereto I would say that
some ten days or two weeks ago re-
liable information came to me that
certain persons were contemplating
action of q nature similar to that oil
last July.
The information seemed to me te
warrant and require the taking Of
some extra precautions to protect
the public peace.
I accordingly instructed the police
to keep an extra sharp lookout, anc
requested few citizens, upon whose
integrity and loyalty I could rely, t.
act as an extra guard at the Police
Station at night, which they did.
This has been done as quietly al
possibly, with no public display, anG
is all that has been done, and has,
have reason to believe, been tn,
means of preventing any attempted
breach of the peace, which nigh
otherwise have taken place.

Newspaper Enlerprise IN china.

Consul Hughes sends home from
Shanghai some interesting notes on news
paper enterprise in China. In addition
TO religious and illustrated periodicals.
there are two daily newspapers-the Shen
Pao and HUI Pao-published in Chinese
at Shanghai. The Shen Pao has daily
circulation averaging $4,000 to Is, 600
copies. During the Franco Chinese war,
its articles being written BY patriotic
Chinese TO suit the popular taste. the cir
culation increased to is. 600 copies daily.
Cheap as the paper is Qess than a half

the Hu Pao is also stated to be consider

these newspapers, although owned by
foreigners, are, we are assured, bona

opinion. In international questions they
do not always take the foreign side, but
their influence, Mr. Hughes tells us. is

Japanese FrugaIity.

Some remarkable statements are
made by Professor Rein, scientist
who has been investigating the mate
rial resources of Japan. They reveal
a national frugality and economy of a
marvellous type. The area of Japan is
less than that of California. Its cult
waited land is less than one-tenth of its
total acreage, yet its products support
about IS, 600, 600 In Japan 2, $50 per
sons subsist from each square mile Of
titled land. A people existing in such
must. from necessity of
preservation, be provident, painstak
ing hard working, ingenious and fru
gal. The Japs appear TO deserve all
these adjectives. Agriculture with
them is literally market gardening,
because the soil is required to produce
more than any other place in the
world Once Week.

that word store has risen in dignity OF

propert,e. Or N,,ro-e,xc.r,,.

So sensitive is nitro-glycerine to con-
cussion and percussion, that if it be
dropped only few feet or struck even a
slight blow it will explode. An example
of this wonderful property of the stuff
occurred a few years ago in Panama.
when the sudden ignition of g quantity
of it converted wharf and a warehouse
into mass of unacceptable fragments,
inflicted damage to the extent of about a
million dollars and suddenly ended a
number of lives.
Careful investigations soon demon
strated that the change which converts a
harmless substance like gIycerfne into
such tremendous explosive is made by
the substitution of molecules of nitrogen
and oxygen for atoms of hydrogen in the
original compound. When this is done
with great care and the process is carried
through the last stage. the resultant liq-
uid is nothing more than vast mass of
gas held together by the weakest and
most unstable bonds.-New York Mail

million. Of wooden rooshp,ck.,

The American is great consumer OF
toothpicks. He not only picks his teeth
in private, but he does 1t in public. and
perhaps finishes by chewing up the
wooden implement. To supply the mil
lions of toothpicks used every year, in.
eenious machines of great productive
bower have been invented. Like all
other businesses, the toothpick business
has its combination, but Maine inventor
has set out to l-rcak it with machine
that makes G,0o0,G1 picks day. And
he is making a new machine that
will produce 72,000,000 day. Green,
clear, straight grained birch and maple
wood is used. and after steaming for sew
eral hours it is easily cut into veneers, or
thin strips of wood with the grain run
ming across. These veneers are pliable
and wound up on large spools. 100 feet
on each, and from the spools they are
fed into the pick machine, WHICH cuts
them into picks with wonderful rapidity.

Postage stamps Gooa untiI n.ea.

Persons having old postage stamps
sometimes think they are rendered
worthless by the issue of new ones.
This is not so, The only obsolete
stamps are those of the issues of ls47
and 1851, very few of which are now
In existence in the north. and these
are generally worth more than their
lace value for collectors. The issues
Of 1861, 1869 and 1870 are as good in
The payment of postage as the new is
sues The reason the issues of lS47
ana 1851 are not accepted is because
large amounts of these were outstand-
ing IN the south at the time of the re-
oelilon, and the present holders Of
them probably secured them without
rendering an equivalent to Uncle Sam.

value of Old Books.

The moral of all this is that every one
who has any old books, papers or PAM
phlets which he doesn't want should give
them to a library instead of the paper
mill or the fire, and that every library
should have top drawer. as that insti-
tuition is known TO all mothers of families,
in which to deposit miscellanies of too
little apparent value to catalogue. Sew
enty-five dollars have been paid for a
quack almanac, badly wanted for some
purpose. And the prices paid for many
old books of perhaps not very much
greater intrinsic value are-wel, Brad
ford's Almanac of half dozen vacant
pages fetches over $500. 1t was the first
issue of the press in Pennsylvania. The
Bay Psalm Book, printed in 1910, in
Cambridge, fetches over $1,000. by viz
tue of being the first book printed in the,
now, United States. The late Henry
Stevens once bought $4,000 library to
get a copy of this. While, if we go
back little further, we may find Mr.
Quaritch, tho London bookseller, giving
$50, 900 for book printed by Schoffer,
the second printer. because it is fine
and rare specimen of early Typography.

Making the Eyes Bright.

1t is no use asking me for the secrets
of making the eyes bright. I know them,
but they are dangerous, and as modera-
ton in the use of any domestic is IN
known to women who adopt such things,
they had better remain secret The only
harmless things for the purpose are the
juice Of the herb euphrasy or eyebright
dropped In the eye. or a spoonful of roast
coffee chewed for the juice alone. This
brightens the eyes for an evening. and is
useful to keep watchers wide awake
nights But it must not be used often
or it affects the heart. Pure blood and
thorough circulation, with unobstructed
functions, will secure glowing eyes of a
dark shade Of their natural color, chang
ing gooseberry eyes to luIniRous dark
gray Walking a mile briskly against
the wind is good exercise TO darken and
brighten the eyes, whose beauty all de-

Underwear of Pure Wool.

Talking of the Jaeger system. DIR. R
G. Rutherford said: THE spread of DIR.
Jaeger's sanitary ideas in this country
has been little short of miraculous. OF
course, years ago, the theory had been
advanced by others that the most health
full raiment was that woven from animal
fiber, bat Jaeger was the first to enthusi-
astically work out this theory in its practi-
cal details. myself, for two years, have
worn nothing, save collars and cuffs, that
is not of pure wooden material, and
have derived appreciable benefit from it.
The main reliance of the system is on
the indisputable fact that it is the prop
erty of animal fibers to exhale and diff
fuse all excretions of the body with
which they may become impregnated,
while cotton, linen or silken fabrics re-
tain them for an indefinite period. I'm
derwear of absolutely unadulterated wool
needs to be washed but seldom. Simply
hanging it in an air current suffices TO
render it pure and sweet. On the other
hand, if you leave clean and newly
washed linen or cotton garments in a
drawer they will absorb the almost i'm
perceptible odors of the atmosphere. and
in a short time need what the house
keepers call good airing before they
can be used. The Epoch.
