Professor Elisha Gray remarks that
electrical science has made greater adj.
vance in the last twenty years than in
all the 5000 historic years preceding.
More is discovered in one day now than
in 1000 years formerly. We find all
sorts of work for electricity to do. We
make it carry our messages, drive our
engines, ring our door bell and scare the
burglar; we take it as medicine, light
our gas with it, see by it, hear from it,
talk with it, and now we are beginning
to teach it to write. What will it not
yet be doing for usa asks the Boston

The Worst Smell in the World.

NM. Bauman and Fromm, expert
menting in Freiburg, Bresgau, on the
organic derivations of sulphur, caused
hydrogen sulphide to act upon acetone.
They obtained trithio .acetone and a new
compound, non-volatile and crystalline,
and at the same time a very volatile sub
stance was given off, to whose odor all
the most ill-smeling substances hitherto
known were az altar of roses. The dis
coverers think this gas is monosul-
phureted acetin, but they have yet been
unable to isolate it. Their efforts in
that line, although they used the most
perfect apparatus at their command to
prevent the escape of the smallest guam
tity of the gas, brought an indignant
storm of protest from the whole city.
The stencil was uncomfortable within
radius of 700 metres.-PicayuAe.

A song of peace and rest,
When weary with useless flying,
The wild birds seek the nest;
When the lamps of home are lighted
And those we love draw nigh,
And overhead the kindly stars
Are smiling in the sky.
The day has been dark and dreary,
The shadows fall thick and fast,
And my limbs and my heart are weary
From battling with the blast;
Ard now as the shades of evening
Creep darl1ly DER the land,
l sigh for breath Of peace and rest
And the touch Of a friendly hand.
lily thoughts turn back in the twilight,
10 scenes long passed away,
When, free from the thrall of labor,
l wandered in childish play;
see the vine-clad doorway,
Where oft my mother stood,
And the thoughts of home know no more
Come DER me like food.
Then sing me i song of evening,
OF peaceful love and rest;
am weary of useless striving
And I long for the sheltering nest
The rugged sha lows Of evening
Are filling all the land,
AMI sigh for a breath of love and rest
And the touch OF mothers hand

the State. At the present rate of arrival
they will number over 30, 900 within FIVE
years. This immigration is considered,
asserts the Atlanta Constitution, more
serious matter than that of the Chinese;
for the cheap labor of the latter com.
peted only with unskilled industries,
whereas the Japanese are skilled trades
men-carpenters, cabinet makers, shoe
makers, tailors, and the like, and they
work and thrive at low rates of wages.

Supplementary Currency.

In Western China, where money has
a tendency to gravitate towards the
large cities, the peasants exc out the de-
ficiency of coin by the use of various
cleanly and portable articles of merchan-
disc, such as balls of wax and coils of
silk thread. In Africa iron tools are
accepted as a medium of exchange by
almost all the native tribes, but it is
less applicable fact that in the land of
our next neighbors, in the unkempt cow
boy districts of Western Mexico, cakes
OF perfumed soap are used for the same
purpose.-New York Toice.

Family Life for the Insane.

The method of caring for the insane
in Holland is in establishing villages for
their residences where patients are kept
In kind of family life Surrounding
the village are farms that furnish health
full out-of-door occupation-the open
air employment being regarded as of
great efficacy in the cure Recent coun-
ellis of philanthropists have discussed
this idea with view to its trial in this
country 1t is believed that the enforced

Next evening, Bessie and Nora sat in
the freight, slipping their after-dinnel
| coffee; it was an hour for confidence, and
Bessie said, rather sadly:
''Poor Julius Maybe asked me to
marry him last night"
Nora turned quickly, but said nothing.
'That is, he wanted to marry my
money; everybody knows that if he loves
anybody really, it is you, Nora"
"He called on me, too, last night"
said Nora, "and I saw he was in trouble,
so gave him something to do. Nothing
like that old, old gospel of Work when
you re in trouble. When he had done
it, told him he might come and see
me again"
"Surely you would never marry him!
You will just have him to dress and take

Time proved in this case what has
often been asserted, "that every woman
influences every man she comes in con-
tact with, either for good or bad"
Julius went steadily to work, used with
economy the remains Of his patrimony,
became known among lawyers as hard
reading, clear headed, steady young
man and in little more than two years
he ventured to call again on Nora St.
Clair and ask her certain question, to
which she answered, with pride and con-
hdence: eyes,

"That is 'all right SUPPOSE

better"
Both girls sat silent while, and then
Nora said, sadly:

husbands might have been good ones,

noble ends. There ought to be saving

The Omaha, (Neb.) Bee prints an ex.
haustivs review of the commercial and
financial condition Of Nebraska by coun-
ties, showing remarkable development.
The most important phase of the exhibit
is the showing of deposits In the State
and National banks, which reach the ag-
gregate Of $50, 1907, 043, or $47 per
capita, showing that IN spite of the
failure of crops in the western part of
the State last year and low prices for
series of years, the people are in excep-
tionally good financial condition, with
almost enough cash ON deposit to liqui-
date the entire farm mortgage indebted
ness of the State. In 1868 the value of
property was $50, 900, 600; the actual
valuation in 1891 is 81, 5s5, 100, 800.
The estimated yield for this year in all
crops j. greater than ever before. Seven
years ago no cattle or hogs were slaught-
cred. To-day Omaha is the third pack
Ing centre in the Union. The creamery
capacity of the State is so, 900 pounds of
butter day. The educational system
comprises $40 schoolhouses, valued
with sites and apparatus at 10000 600.
The railroads operate 5345 miles Of track.

The Scotch lassies have always had to
60 begging for Scotch laddies, because
for every Highland laddie there were at
least five lassies. But now, announces
the New York Commercial Advertiser, the
condition of affairs bids fair to change.
During the last ten years fewer baby
girls have been born in Scotland than
baby boys. And ten years from now the
Highland laddie will be proud to buy a
bunch of blue ribbon for a lassie, and
will not be willing to leave her while
he stays long at the fair.

The Census Bureau has published
statement showing in detail the receipts
and expenditures of one hundred prin-
cipal cities in the United States. The
cities mentioned contained an aggregate
population of -, 425, 1886, or about two
thirds of the city population of the
country. The total annual ordinary ex-
penditures amounted to 1924, 626, 655, or
nearly S19 per capita. Assuming the
expenses Of the remaining 3s4 cities of
5000 and upwards containing the other
third of our city population to be in the
same proportion, it costs $3.50, OOO,OOe
to run our cities. It must be conceded,
says the Philadelphia Times, that while
cities may be both necessary and desir-
able they are expensive.

The latest reports from China are to
the effect that the native opposition to
all work of railroad construction, If less
fanatical than it was short time ago, is
still obstinate and serious. When work
was begun, short time ago, upon the
projected line at Kaplng, the attitude of
the Cantonese was so menacing that more
than one-half of the English wogkmen
were compelled to retire.

Dangerous Weeds.

There are certain weeds and bushes in
pastures which arc sup 'oscd to bc poison
Gus to animals that eat OF them. But
probably none of the weeds are ever
eaten unless dried with the hay, and SO
mixed as to make it difficult for the
animal to reject it. Possibly u scarcity
of other food might cause them TO be
eaten sometimes. They are nearly all
well known, though their dangerous
character may not be, and any old
farmer can point them ont, viz: The
St. John wort, the wild lobcIia or Indian
tobacco, and the swamp hcIlcborc, or
Indian pokewced. Care should be taken
not to allow them in the hay. The
bushes are the mouatain laurel, the sheep
laurel or low laurel, and the andromcda.
They are all of the same family, and
have resemblance, al being cvergreGns,
and it is said that sheep and goats will
browse upon them and kill themselves,
even when they could get grass. This
last statement is rather doubtful, but
they do eat them when pastures are
scanty, and are poisoned by Them

Hard Shell Crabs of the Oh esapeake.

With hard crabs the Chesapeake might
easily supply the world. All that
region is asWarm with them. The fish
cry is inexhaustible. No attempt has
ever been made to catch them-nor soft
crabs, for that matter-s;.vc near shore,
when these interesting crustaccans choose
to walk up out of the depths for feeding
or spawning. purposes. 1t is impossible
to imagine that the crab fishery of the
Chesapeake could eve: be used up The
Cristeld (Md.) fishermen get all their
crabs in the Immediate neighborhood,
but should the fields now worked be ex-
hausted, unlimited supplies may be pro-
cured little further off. Hard crabs
are mostly taken on long lines buoyed or
staked at the ends and baitel at inter-
walls with tripe. Every few hours the
fishermen GO along the lines in boats and
with hand nets gather in the crabs that
are clinging to the bats. Fifty to sixty
cents hundred is the usual price for hard
crabs paid to the fishermen The prin-
cipal hard crabbers at Crisfield ship their
own crabs, and are thus able to get bet
ter prices. Hard crabs are very hardy,
and require little care in s!li pment They
are simply crowded into boxes and bar
rels, without ice or moist seaweed, and
very few die. Two firms at Crisield
make business of extracting the meat
from hard crabs and shipping it in bulk
to market, where it is chiefly used at
hotels and restaurants for salads and
''devied crabs" Preliminarily, the
crabs are boiled. From sixty to seventy.
five crabs are usually required to yield
gallon of meat, which is packed in tin
buckets and shipped with ice around it. !
The crab pickers are women, as rule,
who hold themselves in readiness when
the shippers have orders to fill. They
become wonderfully expert through prac- .
tlce, and are paid by the quantity of
meat they produce. About 81, 600 crabs
are utilized in this Way yearly, yielding
about 42O gallons of meat at $l.20
gallon. -New York Sun.
