A Curious Book.

A book belonging to the family of the
Prince de Ligne, now in France, is said
to be the most curious book in the
world, because it is neither written nor
printed. The letters of the text are cut
out of each folio upon the finest vellum,
and, being interleaved with blue paper,
it is as easily read as print. The labor
bestowed upon it was excessive. Ro-
dolph H., of Germany, offered for it in
1910 eleven Thousand ducats, probably
equal to sixty thousand dollars at this
day. A remarkable circumstance con-
nected with this literary treasure is
that it bears the royal arms Of England,
but Il cannot be traced to have ever
been in that country,

JaDanese Polish.

Everyone knows that ''elbow grease"
is fhe best polish for mahogany, and it
ia interesting to learn how it is applied
in Japan to produce the beautifully pol
ished floors of cheaper wood, upon
which one is not allowed to tread with
shoes. ''They are not vanished nor
oiled nor waxed." says q recent travel
er, s'but every morning rubbed with a
cloth wrung out Of hot bath water,
which contains oily matter enough to
give in time this peculiar luster. Three
years of daily rubbing with a hot cloth
are required to give d satisfactory re-
suit, and every year adds to the rich
ness of tone and polish, until old tea
houses and temples disclose floors of
common pine looking like rosewood or
six-century-old oak

ONLY ONE WAS ABSENT.
But It Prevented the Board From Dong
ANYTHING,


The board of charities and corrections
had a. regular session Wednesday morn
ing, with all the members present except
Dr.. Woodward. Because Of this alb"
eence the workhouse committee was
granted furthur time About an hour
was spent in discussing the need of a
new city hospital, and it was agreed that
the board should attend the council
meeting Thursday evening and urge
that $50, 900 be set aside for hospital
purposes. The members think that the
hospital is necessity and of far more
Importance than several other improve
mente, cremstory, for instance. An
invitation to visit the house of the Good
Shepherd was accepted. The secretary
reported $25, 256 on hand to the credit Of
che credit of the department, with a
probability that there would be $4,000
at the END of the fiscal year. The sup
erintendent of the poor will receive bids
up to Oct. 5, for 5000 loads of dry mill
wood, $50 cords of wood, ~ tons OF tnr-
mace coal and 30 tons Of stove coal.
While the report OF the workhouse
committee was not read at the meeting,
it was read secretly, but no one seems
to know just what it is. Rumor has it
that some of the guards will be dis
charged and Supt. West reprina anded.
Another rumor is that the superinten.
dent may 60 with his guards. No one
seems to think that Sept. West will be
held blameess. The board is not will
ing to act on the report until a full
board is present, so it is thought that
the report is of considerable moment to
the board. The committee has spent
considerable time Investigating the mat
ter and it has been thorough one. The
general impression is that Supt. West
will be called down.

i at the next meeting. In all probability
, the department will ask that the money
be set aside at the earliest possible
date, SO that the crematory can be put
!, up. The $4,000 allowed by the council
will come out of next years tax, which
will not be available until next spring,
and il the crematory is built this fall
temporary arrangements may have to
be made to get the money, or the Gre

vest festival will be on First ave. south

nue. to Twenty-fourth street, where the
parade disbands. The gentlemen who
have been in charge of this part of the
work have had many things to contend
with, bat they have at last reached this
as the most satisfactory line that could
be devised. The line will be formed be-
tween First avenue south and Seventh

be reserved for formation purposes. No
teams aside from those taking part in

Of the city during the tims Of forming.
President Clarkson of the National
Republican League, has voiced his
sentiments on the meeting place of the
next national republican convention.
He says that Minneapolis, Chicago,
New Y ork, Cincinnati. San Francisco
and Omaha were the candidates, and
that some OF these cities were conduct |
ing vigorous campaign. Talk regard
ing convention matters between Clark |
son, Byrnes and others present suggest
ed that if Minneapolis wanted to win it
would be necessary TO at once begin |
missionary work upon the national
committee, as other cities are doing so.
Clarkson seems to favor Minneapolis. |
When Informed that the guarantee fund !
had already been raised, he nodded his
head approviogly and suggested to
iYrnes that hard work on the part of |
Minneapolis was the next thing in Or

The letter carriers Of Minneapolis as !

awaiting President Thomas Lowrv's de- |
cislon in the matter o. transportation on
the street car lines of both cities. SINCE
July LIST, whenever a c,rr1er has ridden
on street Car, he has been compelled |
to pay bis own fare. Previous TO that
time there was an agreement between
the United States government and the
street railway authorities, the terms of
which were that each letter carrier in
each city should pay $22 per year and
the government $l2 per carrier per year
making total of 1874 per year for each
carrier This represented about S3, 400
per year from the carriers in rhe cl5y Of
st. Paul alone and considerably more in
the city of Minneapolis. In view OF the
fact that many OF them live in their OWN
districts and only ride Oh the cars four
times per day al most, they thought
that SCI dollars Der day was ample pay

Fired the Shots Himself

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 90
Harry L. Tooker of Allegan has been
pursuing unique way to win the af
fections of Kittie White. During April
and May he showed anonymous letters
he said he had received threatening
him with terrible consequences il he
did not turn his attentions in other di-
rections.
He declared these threats would not
deter him. and still the girl was
obdurste. On the night OF June 25
he was waylaid, he said,
bv three ruffi8ns and when assistance
came in response to his cries it was
found that his hat had been punched
by bullet, but he had no serious
wounds.
Detective Kennedy has been investi-
eating the case and shows an affidavit
by Tooker that he wrote all the anony-
nous letters himself, and that instead
of being murderously sssailed he had
retired to a quiet place in the woods
and shotssthe bullet holes in his clothing
himself. The girl is reported to be

AMord Without Excuse for Being.

The word ''electrocution, which is
creeping into newspaper use, is utterly
without excuse for being, except that 1t
is pressed into service on the score OF
necessity. 1t gives name, though a
bad one, to something which is other
wise nameless. In the first place it Is a
neologism most barbarously formed.
The first half OF it, ''electro." is ration
al: but the last half. ''cution." is pure
gibberish, and has no more point or
meaning than the famous nonsense word
shark" The word execution" which
suggested it, is formed from two Latin
words, ''ex" and seoul" through the
Latin word ''exsecutio." So that in
stead of ''electrocutfOn" the compound
phony OF which rules it out OF the pos
sibilities. But even. ''electrosecutiOn'
would not adequately express the fact OF
killing by an electric current. The
Latin verb ''sequi" means ''to follow"
and with the prefix ''ex" comes 10 mean
''follOw out" or ''carry out, ;" an implied
decree, and in the name of common
sense what can il mean with the prefix
''electro?" Nothing, absolutely nothing,
except possibly 1.-The following of cleo
tricity," which is sheer nonsense. We
that some clever philol-
ogist will soon come forward with a
simple and euphonic word for this new
process of punishment. and that we
shall be spared the idiocy of either
''electrocution" or ''electrOsecution. y

A Big Failure In ENGLAND.

LONDON, July 20.-The English
Bank of the River Plate. limited, whose
offices are at Is Saint Swithin's lane.
this city. OF which E. A. Snithers is
managing director, has suspended pay
ment in consequence of failure to secure
expected assistance. The difficulties of
the bank are due to the looking up of
South American securities. The capi-
tai OF the bank is $7,500,OO0, half Of
which is paid in. The other half of
the capital is only applicable in the
event Of the banks liquidation. The
institution has a reserve of $1,000, 900.
During the last three years the bank
has paid yearly dividend of 10 per
cent.
The difficulty in which the bank now
finds itself arose from the impossibility
Of collecting debts due in the Argentine
Republic in consequence of the mora
toritum decree recently issued by the
Argentine Republic. Among the di-
rectors OF the bank are the Hon. Carr
Glynn and Sir George Hamilton.

than tt is 10 stay away from Christ and

her musical career she was hissed of
the stage at Vienna by the friends of
her rival, Amelia Steininger, who had

that you are leading by the hand?"
And the child replied, That's my

it that she lost her eyesight." ''Give

the poor blind woman. Until the day

its place. Then, nobody. however

Harry sayler, the Mine Owner.

Last evening fast-talking little gen.
tleman walked up to the counter at the
Grand Pacific, and opening a small grip,
said: II suppose this will do for
weeks lodging"
The clerk, discovering that it was
filled with valuable specimens OF gold
quartz ore, replied, "Yes: that is the
kind of stuff that goes here" When
the name of Harry G. Sayler, Denver,
Col, was registered the laugh was on
the clerk, for the crowd knew him as a
noted western mine owner.
Mr.. Sayler looked through the pack
age OF kilograms, and as he read one
addressed to himself everyone noticed
that his face frightened until it was
covered with the most radiant smiles.
Verify, l am bonanza king" he eX-
claimed. "The manager of my mine
near Ouray says that the stope is de-
yeloping richer and richer; but don't
you boys all go crazy and run out there.
1t isn't every man who goes to Colorado
that becomes rich: but there is some
thing about the life of a miner that
makes them all generous and grateful.
To illustrate: l once knew a bright
young fellow who came out and worked
eight long weary months. and at the
end of that period received check for
s42. A companion of his, who had been
even less prosperous, was in great need
of s35. He got it.and that only left 81 for
the young man to face the cold world
with. Years later fortune smiled upon
the needy friend, and he sent the
young man check for $4,000, which
proved as timely as the loan OF So.

but it is as true as my name is Harry

DO Not Confine the Lambs.

1t is very bad plan to keep young
lambs confined too closely; they will
get too much food in proportion to the
amount of exercise they will take, and
it will develop the same unhealthy
tendencies that is so noticeable among
Young pigs when so closely confined to
the pens early in the spring.
A very convenient way for inducing
Young lambs to take exercise when
closely confined to the barn by incle-
ment weather, is to stick up two or three
planks or boards, one end of the plank
resting on the ground and the other end
on the top of the hay rack, or any con-
venient point to support so it that the
lambs can take run up and down the
planks.
1t will only be necessary to place the
planks. the lambs will understand what
they are for inside of 20 minutes, and
from that time forward will spend 8
good share of their spare time in caper-
ing back and forth upon these planks,
thus affording them nice pastime, and
the fresh. vigorous exercise which they
so much need.

A Circus Tent Blown Down.

CARLYLE, ILL.,, July 20.-Yesterday
afternoon while circus performance
was in progress here, the seats being
filled with people, gust of wind struck
the tent with such force that the guy
ropes caves way and large portion of
the canvass was precipitated on the
heads of the people. Instantly the
widest panic prevailed and for mo-
ment the shrieks OF women and screams
of children were appalling. One woman
was caught under a falling pole and
was thought to be killed. but when ex-
tricated it was found that she had mere
ly swooued and was unharmed. Final
ly through the efforts of those who kept
their presence of mind. the canvass was
lifted and the panic was abated sufi-
ciently to admit of restoring order.
Several employees OF the circus were
injured, but not fatally.
