A writer in the Arena gives dismal
forecast of mundane affairs during the
next quarter of a century. He predicts
revolutions all over Europe, and social
upheaval, followed by a war lasting from
1906 to 1916, in tho United States. But
antedating that event there will be
great earthquake aud tidal wave that
will submergo tho Atlantic coast from
New orleVs to New York. All the
great seaboard cities will be engulfed.
But, despite these doleful predictions,
people will keep right on in their occu-
pations as heretofore.

PAINTING UPON SILK.

To prevent oil colors from spreading
in painting upon silk or satin, different
preparations are used. White shellac
dissolved in alcohol is good. First, trace
the design, then cover the surface to be
painted with this medium. Another
method is to outline the design with Jap
an varnish before applying the paint.
Moisten the brush with turpentine and
paint over but not beyond the outline.
1t is a good plan to squeeze the paint
upon a piece of blotting-paper, instead
of the palette ordinarily used. The
blotting-pa will absorb much of the
oil, and if the paints are thinned with
turpentine they may often be used with.
out any preparation upon the fabric.
On heavy satin there is little danger of
the oil spreading beyond the design

The New York Tribune says: A law
If New Jersey requires alr railroad COM
panies in their annual reports to mention
all accidents, the cause thereof, the
names of the persons injured and the ma

A comparison has been made between
railroad operations in the United States
and Europe by taking the Prussian sys-
tenn as typical of one and the Pennsyl-
yanis system as representative of the
other. The Prussian system embraces
16, 800 miles and is owned by the State.
The Pennsylvania system is 1884 miles
long. Tho total earnings of the former
In 1sS7-8 were $3.50, 900, 900 and OF tho
latter $123, 900, 900, so that the Prus-
sian, with more than double the mileage
of the Pennsylvania, only earned 90 per
cent. more money. The earnings per
mile of the Prussian were $1,000 Of
the Pennsylvania SIG, 900. The Prus-
sian carried 1911 5000 passengers,
more than double the number transported
by the Pennsylvania, namely, 73,000,-

sylvania carried 22,0OO, 900 tons Of

Tired Of Making His nMnrk. -

James Robinson, tall, robust, with a
sandy complexion and forty years of age,
has spent almost his entire life mining in
the mountains of the West. Two months
ago he went to Kansas City, Mo-, from
Phoenix, Arizona. He could neither
read nor write. During the past eight
years he has been engaged in the trans
action of business involving the buying
and selling of mines, through which he
has been placed in comfortable circum-
stances financially. His 'mark" had
been attached to deeds and contracts so
often that he was brought to realize the
necessity of an education. Hence his
presence in Kansas City. Mr., Robinson
has applied himself assiduously under the
direction of private tutor and can now
read and write. He says he will remain
another month in Kansas City and then
return to Arizona TO look after his mining
interests. After the lapse of a few
weeks he will return to pursue his edu-
cational course. In three years time he
expects to have a good business educa-
ton, supplemented with the embellish-
nssnts Of literature.-G Gbtsg4D Herald.

The Age Of Steel has discovered that it
costs more than half as much again to
ship goods from New York to Valpa-
raiso as it does from Liverpool or Ham
burg, while it frequently happens that
the merchant in Chill will receive his
bills of lading two or three months be-
fore he gets his goods. The cost of
freight by steamer from New York to
Valparaiso via Panama is S34 per ton;
heavy goods via Hamburg, S22, and via
Liverpool, S22. Freight shipped from
Liverpool, London, Glasgow, Bordeaux
or Havre is but from s., so to 81. These
figures are explanatory of much that is
Otherwise problematic, and there need be
no surprise at the low ebb of our export
trade with Chill and southern republics.

Considering that 1925, 600, 900 of prop
crty in the United States is possessed and
controlled by twenty-seven women, one
might argue, suggests the New York
Journal, that parents should give their
daughters as thorough a business educa-
ton as they accord their sons. No one
with girls to raise can tell in this demo-
cratic country, where fortunes shift like
quicksilver, whether at some future time
they may not have vast sums of money to
control

A SONG OF GROWTH.

In the heart of a man
Is a thought upfurled;
Reached its full span
It shakes the world,
And to one high thought
Is a whole race wrought.
Not with vain noise
The great work grows,
Nor with foolish voice,
But In repose,--
Not in the rush,
But in the hush.
From cogent lash
OF the cloud-herd wind
The low clouds dash,
Blown headlong, blind;
But, beyond, the great blue.
Looks moveless through.
Der the loud world sweep
The scourge and the rod,
But in deep beyond deep
Is the stiffness Of God,-
At the Fountain of Life
No cry-no strifel

TEA MAKING.

In preparing tea, the water to be used
should never be poured directly from
the kitchen kettle into the urn. It
should be cold, fresh water, brought alb
solutely to the boiling point. The tea
used will, of course, differ according to
taste, but none is better for the purpose
than the best English breakfast. The
leaves must be placed in the pot in the
proportion of a heaping teaspoonful to
each person. Upon these leaves pour a
small quantity of boiling water; never
use all of the latter needed at
once, as sudden rush will certainly
"drown" the tea. Now pull the cosey
over the teapot and allow the contents to
draw few moments, when you will
have the best infusion possible;
repeat this process as many times as
needed; after using the first potfull and
filling once more with boiling water, the
tea loses its strength and flavor. Boiled
tea is hurtful, and breakfast tea should
never be stepped upon the stove. 1t
will not often be necessary to strain
where these directions are followed, but
the sudden addition of water floats the
leaves, which do not again settle

BEWARE OF CHEMICAL FRUIT POWDERS

BEWARE OF CHEMICAL FRUIT POWDERS!
The attention of farm housewives and
other housekeepers is also drawn to the
use of the pernicious substance which is
the basis of the fruit powders used for
the preservation of fruits and vegetables.
Health is the greatest blessing if only for
its personal relation. But when the
health of young children is under the
care of the mothers, the greatest circum-
spection should prevail in the use of all
chemical preparations used in housekeep-
ing. Nothing noXious under the guise
of household compounds, whether for
preserving or cooking, inclusive of bak-
ing powders, should be accepted blindly
or without knowing of what they are
composed. 1t is au excellent part of the
education of young women that hygiene,
and at least some knowledge of domestic
chemistry, are taught in good schools,
and every mother should take care that
her daughters should acquire this indis-
pensable accomplishment before they be-
gin housekeeping for themselves. Rural
schools especially should be conducted
upon the high principle, and should be
made as effective means of instruction
as those of the cities and large towns

What is the difference between authoriZ-

the country out of AZ per cent. OF the cash
they invest in the gamble, and authorizing
favored industries to levy Al per cent. of
unearned prize money on the general public?
To call the one thing "legalized pillage,"
and the other "legalized protection" makes
difference of nomenclature, but there is no
difference in principle.-Ph Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The Records simile is not good. We
admit that both systems of robbery of
the poor may be called ''legalized pill
age" but there is a vast difference in
them, for all that: I'm the lottery, the
victim offers himself voluntary sac
rifice, with dim and distant chance
of big returns-and he needn't sacri-
flee unless he wants to; but Protection
takes him forcibly by the nape of the
neck and shakes the very last nickel
out of his pocket-and when it's gone,
it's gone, with no hope of return or
profit. We don't want either Lottery
or Projections: but if it's to be either,
give us Lottery as the more honorable

The Republican bosses of Carter
county met in convention last
Wednesday and nominated John G..
Brown for Representative. They re-
fused to put up candidates for the
other county offices, which brings out
Mr.. J. w. Mcdonald in a swinging
card. Among other things, he says:
Men will not put themselves in a position
to be snapped and traded like blind horses
by a few individuals who are so opinionated
as to believe that no one has any influence,
or any knowledge of affairs but themselves.
The programme as laid down by few bosses
in Van Buren,, on the Goth in ST., will not be
followed. Men will be brought to their sens

and grinding machines.
