THE whole business OF so-called
mind-reading is more sensational than
scientific. Clearly the persons capable
of it are in morbid mental conditions,
and their excitatiou and its phenomena
are only symptoms OF involuntary
suicidal mania. The law prohibits
suicide.

THE average annual amount of meat con-
sumed by an inhabitant of Europe is 631<
pounds; the average American consumes
100 pounds. Tho average consumption Of
cereals per capita in Europe is II bushels /;
in the United States it is IL bushels. The
tariff is the barrier which keeps the laborcr
in the United States from being reduced to
the level of the werkingman in Europe.

THE new tariff law reduces the duty ON
steel rails from $40. 10 per ton on light
rails and sl7 per ton on heavy rails to
1914, reduction of 80 per cent. on one
of the chief articles of American consump-
ton. IL is a notable fact that within a
gear tn, price of steel rails has been tho
same in New York and Liverpool. We
can produce all the rails needed in this
country, but unless there is a duty the
Belgians and English rail manufacturers
can depress the price of labor and by flood
ing this market with rails can throw out OF
employment tens Of thousands Of Americas
worlVingmen.

wHrTTIER's CHILDHOOD.
A Short Sketch Written by tho Quaker
Poets Own Hand.

A Short Sketch Written by tho Quaker
POETS Own Hand.
What can be more appropriate, as the
anniversary OF our Quaker poets birth
day comes round again, than to let him
tell in his own simple and beautiful way
the story of his childhood? After visit
ing the picturesque nook in which
nestles the worry house in which he was
born, and through which babbles the
brook where the barefoot boy saw lis
visions and dreamed his dreams, one can
understand something OF tho spell that
nature wove about the sensitive soul of
this thoughtful boy. This is taken from
a sketch giving the main points of in
terest in his long and useful life, which
was written by his own hand in response
to inquiries made of him, and was pub
lished in Boston daily on his eightieth
birthday:
II was born on the 18th Of December,
1907, in the easterly part of Haverhill,
Mass, in the house built by my first
American ancestor, two hundred years
ago. My father was farmer in moderate
circumstances, but with strict economy
we lived comfortably and respectfully.
Both OF my parents were members of
the Society Of Friends. had brother
and two sisters. Our home was some
what lonely, half hidden in the oak
woods, with no house in sight, and we
had few companions of our age, and few
occasions Of recreation. Our school was
only for twelve weeks in a year-in the
depth of winter, and half mile distant.
On First-days father and mother, and
sometimes one of the children, rode
down to the Friends Westinghouse in
Amesbury, eight miles distant. 1
think 1 rather enjoyed staying at
home and wandering in the woods, or
climbing Jobs hill, which arose abrupt
ly from the brook which rippled down
at the foot Of our garden. From the top
of the hill could see the blue outline
of the Deerfield mountains in New
Hampshire, and the solitary peak Of
Agamenticus on the coast of Maine. A
curying line of morning mist marked
the course of the Merrimac, and Great
Pond, or Kenoza, stretched away from
the foot of the hill toward the village of
Haverhill, hidden from sight by inter-
vening hills and woods, but which sent
to us the sound of its two church bells.
We had only about twenty volumes of
books, most Of them the journals of
pioneer ministers in our society. Our
only annual was an almanac. ! was
early fond of reading, and now and then
heard Of book of biography and travel
and walked miles to borrow it."-Go lden

Valuable Sewing Ma chine Adjunct.

An interesting adjunct to tho sewing
machine, an embroidery apparatus, is
proposed by German inventor, the
same being applicable to any of the Ia
ter instruments now in use. The device
consists OF an ingenious system of con-
Quoting rods with which the embroidery
frame Is connected, and with which is
combined the pantagraph-by the aid of
the latter the design being transferred
on q reduced scale, the otherwise nee
essarily tedious tracing on the cloth to
be embroidered being no longer reuui-
site, and with single pattern the de-
sign may thus be embroidered ad in
finitum. A London paper remarks that
in order to adequately appreciate the
work which this new machine is capable
of performing it is simply necessary to
have seen in operation sewing machine
fitted with 1t, exhibiting practically the
wide extent Of woik, ranging from that
Of mere darning to the most complicated
patterns in fine embroidery which the
machine Is capable of performing. The
cost Of this useful adjunct is so reason
able as to put it within reach of all
owners of sewing-machines.-N. Y. Sun.
Tho March OF Civilization.
Perhaps no more significant evidence
of the onward march Of civilization
could be afforded than the lighting by
electricity Of the palace of the guikwar
of Barola, in India, and that, too, on a
scale OF unstinting splendor. The into
rior is lit with 215 sixteen-candle-power
incandescent lights The largo hall is
illuminated with two large twelve.light
electroliers, made in bronze and lao
quered work, while the light is softened
and diffused by dioptrio shades. Single
lights are also pendent from the ends OF
the columns OF the gallery. In the nu-
merous rooms are three and four light
electroliers, made in a variety Of designs
to suit the surroundings. In tho bed
rooms the mirrors have been specially
fitted with brackets, which will admit
of their being shifted from one room 70
another, and an electric hand-lamp is
also provided, which can be moved about
at pleasure. An important feature OF
the installation Is tho complete arrange
ment OF switches and safety fuses, thus
the overheating Of wires and consequent
danger from fire are rendered impossf-

THE STOVE-PIPE HAT,
How 1t Is Made and the Most EconOm-
iCal Price to Pay for One.

How 1t Is Made and the Most EconOm-
ical Price to Pay for One.
The high silk hattie plug the stove
pipe, call it what you willis a COM
paratively modern institution. About
sixty years ago the silk tile was intro
duced into England from Florence.
Since then the stove-pipe has undergone
many strange transformations. The
early silk hat was rough affair. 1t was
so heavy that the English dudes of that
time complained that sit was like carry
ing bushel basket"
Recently we had talk with prom
inent Broadway manufacturer on the
subject.
YES" said he, 'there have been great
improvements in the methods of making
silk hats. Now, what do you suppose
the body of this one is made OFF" at the
same time holding up a glossy silk tile.
We admitted our inability to answer the
question.
"Well, the body of this silk hat is cal
leo. You see there are two kinds of silk
hats-light and heavy weight Most of
the bodies of the heavy hats are made of
felt. The body of the calico or felt is
first dipped into hot water and then
stretched on block. After drying the
body is stiffened with solution of gum
shellac and alcohol, and afterward
with coating of varnish TO prevent it
striking through the surface, A cover
of fine silk plush is then cut and sewed
to fit exactly the body. When the silk
covering is accurately fitted it is smooth
ed over with hot iron. The heat strik-
ing into the glue dissolves it and in dry
ing connects the silk plush with the
body. This explains why severe wet
ting ruins silk hat.
What is your advice about getting
and wearing a silk tile?'
"Well, my advice is, always to get a
| first-class silk hat. A good silk hat can
not be sold for less than S.. 1t is only
short-sighted economy to buy for So a
silk hat that looks as we'll as an IS hat.
The cheap stove-pipe may wear all right
for month or two but after that time
look out for it. think the time is COM
ing when a silk hat will be the only
proper thing, you know for everyday
wear, except, perhaps, in summer. At
any rate sold more silk tiles this spring
than any season since have been in
business. IN. Y. Press
