A Biblical Injunction which Has
Been Observed In Many Cases.
The palm for multiple child bearing
is awarded by the st. Louis Republic
to Mrs. Ellsworth Miller of Cold
Springs, N. Y, who has been married
less than ten years, but who, within
that short space of time, has become
the mother of seventeen children. The
last edition to this was set Of trip
lets, born on March II of this year.
Mrs. Miller was married on Oct. 10,
1888, and since that time has given
birth to this numerous family, which
are divided as follows: Three sets of
triplets, nine; three sets of twins, six,
and two singles, two. Mrs Miller is
not yet thirty-one years of age. In
searching the annals of the world for
material that will attest the appropri-
ateness and peculiar fitness of the
above title, it is found that Nine. de La
Riya of Florence, Italy, gave birth to
eight children on Sept 8, 1907. Mime.
FrescObaldi, another Florentine lady,
who died in 1870, was the mother of
fifty-tWO children, no fewer than three
being born at any one time, four and
five at single birth being nothing I'M
usual with the madame and at one
time six. In Aubray's Natural His
tory of Wiltshire" (England) there is
an account of the Boham family,
Thomas and Edith. Edith had twins
and triDletS on numerous occasions
and finally astonished all Wiltshire by
giving birth to seven children at one
time. '"Fhere is a tradition" to quote
from Aubrey, which is recorded In the
parish register, that all the seven chill
dren were brought together to the font
of the church and there baptized" The
Gentleman's Magazine for March II,
1893, is authority for the statement
that the wife of. Pierre Duisain of
VerchOq, department of Pas-de- Calais,
France, was the mother of six children,
three boys and three girls, all Of whom
were born at single birth. "a lady"
name not given-see ''Statistician" for
1889, page 500, at Xenia, Ohio, in the
year 1850 gave birth to FIVE children
at one time. Mrs: James McElmore,
who lived at Texarkana, Ark, in the
year 1888 had become the mother of a
family of nine children, all within the
short space Of three years, the last al
rival being trio Of girls. Mrs. Phoebe
Lynch, who was living at Seymour,
Ind, in the same year QS89 had seven
children at two births, eighteen months
apart. The last four, two boys and
two girls, were born on April 80, 1888.

and several more pretty set designs
held the consta!USgaze of the crowds
for an hour.
The biggest and most attractive ex-.
hibition of fireworks ever given in Chi
cago closed in a fitting manner with
Columbian bouquet or rockets. In this
final piece were $500 bursting rockets,
which filled the air with q rainbow of
more than 100000 glittering stars.
To most, however, by far the most
impressive scenes We're furnished by
the elbowing, pushing and crowding
of a mighty throng of people number
ing $4,000 souls. One of the grandest
spectacles ever looked upon faced the
speakers stand in front of the admin
istration building when the exercises of
the day were being held. 1t was solid
mass of humanity, filing the whole
square. The Inconvenience of a crowd
were manifest, however, when all this
mass of humanity attempted to get up
town after the exercises were over.
There was some horrible crowding
and inconvenience, and it took all the
transportation facilities In the city
available here to get them to their des-
tination before ? o'clock In the morn
ing, although the show was practically
over at 10 p. III.
! The ceremonies or reception to the of
ficers of the Columbian caravels were
certainly worthy of the event they
COMMUNICATED. The Andy Johnson
and the Michigan, the two representa-
tive vessels of the United States gov
eminent in this harbor, saluteq them
upon their arrival with salyos of az
tillery, and an elaborate programme of
speeches and music was arranged for
their reception by the authorities Of
the exposition, Gen Miles and his
STAFF with the companies of United
States soldiers contained here repre-
sented the United States army, while
Secretary Herbert represented the ma
tionaf navy. Senator Sherman read the
speech of the day from manuscript in
such q feeble voice that the crowds
could scarcely hear him, but few feet
away from the platform. 1t reminded
one forcibly that the grand characters
which the civil war brought onto the
stage aF life will soon pass away, to be
succeeded III many Instances by Q lot
of pot house politicians which the pres
ent administration appears to be
bringing prominently to the front.
These caravels are now located i'll the
dip close to the convent of La Rabida
where ase exhibited all the great relics
of Columbus. They impress the behold
er as being very staunch craft, indeed,
capable of weathering almost any ordin-
airy gale Of the Atlantic and which,
even to-day, would gladden. the heart
of New England whaler If he could be
allowed to rig them to suit himself aft
er the modern style. The wonderful
aerye of the great navigator was dis
played not so much Of venturing into
the ships which were safe, but in
boldly pointing their, prows toward an
unknown coast and over seas fraught
with all the tenors of superstition.

THE SHY MAN.

H ne sun b1uSheS He is NOT Win

One of the characters ia modern
novel is made to say: Il love a shy
man. He is getting so scarce
Perhaps that is why he is so really
delicious.
When he bushes palpably, but with
out looking awkward, one is drawn
toward him by a certain sentiment Of
affinity, and SO long as ne is just shy
enough, but not too shy, he wins more
and more upon one.
To draw really shy man out Of his
shyness is q pleasing task, and the
more so he is generally enchanted to
give expression to the thoughts and
ideas that he usually keeps locked fast
away within himself. One comes upon
stray jewel or two now and then in
such cases in the shape of an llneXpect-
ed thought that astoniShes the discOv-
erer because it seems so different from
the person from whom it emauates,
I assure you | would think shy men
are sometimes very charming, but then
one must be little bit shy ones self
in order to appreciate them.

In this type of vessel this is all avoid

system is applicable to any part Of the
railroad system, the automatic device
is especially adapted for the equipment
of quick moving trains through tunnels,
under conditions of absolute safety.
This system not only doubles the ca.

the control Of trains anywhere in it,
but gives the engineer, conductor anu

with the new system, the signal to stop
can be given at any time by the oper-
ator cutting off the current upon the

light circuits are passed, and from
whence he can tell at a glance the
