of New Industries.
Through the bureau of American re-
publics of the department. of state we
learn that the Chilean government has
vigorously taken up the question of in
dustrial progress and seeks the co-opera-
ton of the local agricultural, mining
and manufacturing societies. In order
to augment the productive manufacture
ing power of Chile, the Society For the
Promotion of Manufactures has suggest
ed to the government that the sum of
$600,O 900 be disbursed annually for a
number of years as premiums for the IS
tablishment of certain industries, to be
divided as follows:
Ironworks capable of producing GER
tain number Of tons of iron per an
num- '.:::................-.. $AUOUO
Cotton mill. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $1,000
Linen factory. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $4,000
Nitrate Of potash factory. .............. Is 600
Superphosphate factory. ............. 5000

Sack factory. Observation-Disclosures. $4,000
Hat factory. Observation-Disclosures. $4,000
White paper factory. $1,000
Match factory, wax or wood. ........... $500
This attempt to foster and develop
the production of manufacturing enter
prises in Chile is to be supplemented by
extensively advertising the possibilities
of that country in these several direc-
tions. TO the manufacturers in the
United States it opens up prospect
for further competition, especially in
South, American trade, which is of
equal interest to both labor and capital.

Work That Gives Us Strength.
A late number of The Outlook con


tains the following admirable editorial:
One of the secrets of a life of growing power
is to be nourished rather than depleted by
ones work. Activity is healthful. Strain is
harmful. Men do not die of overwork, but of
maladjustment to the conditions of their work.
For under ripe conditions work develops just
as truly as exercise, but under wrong condi-
tons It depletes and destroys. The great work
ers Of the world have accumulated force rather
than parted with it, and have gathered rich
ness of material and power of action by the
putting forth of their energies, so that their
lives have moved toward elimination rather
than come to an early fruition followed by a
long decline. It is easy to detect the difference
between the man who is fed by his work and
the man who is drained by it. There is an
ease, force and a Zest about the work that
nourishes which. is never long character
istic of the work that depleres, for the
essential Of the work which nourishes is its
free. and unimpeded expression of the per-
sonaIity Of the worker. It is the overflow of
his own personal energy and not the strenuous
putting forth Of toilsome effort. It is signii-@
cant that the great artists, as rule, are inn.
mensely productive. Michael Angelo, Raph-s
ael Rubens Shakespeare, Balzac and men of
their class attest their genius not only by the
quality Of their work, but by its quantity also.
This means that they have secured the right
adjustment to their condi tions, and that work,
instead Of being q drain, nourishes and deyel-
ops TIE worker. Tho man who works with de-
light and ease grows BY means Of his activity,
and the first secret to be learned in order to
rid work Of worry and wear is to take it in q
reposeful spirit, torefuse to be hurried, to ex-
change the sense Of being mastered by ones
occupation for the consciousness Of mastery.
To take work easily and quietly, not because
one is Indifferent to il, but because one is fully
equal to it. is to take the first step toward
turning work into play.
Coxey says that If his scheme for
building good roads all over this coun
Try were carried ont it would give e1n m
ployment to every working and.

L. is not generally known that the bot-
test, most arid desert in the world is in
the United States, but such is the fact.
The Cocapah desert is small, but it is the
most dangerous Of any in the known
world. Standing upon the mountain
range TO the east, looking across the 90
miles Of plain to another mountain range
on the west, with glimpses Of two small
lakes midway between, it does not appear
that it requires any extraordinary feat of
danger or endurance to cross the plain.
And this has caused the loss Of many lives.
The sand of that desert is so hot that in a
few miles the shoes will beliterally burned
off the travellers feet, beasts will be over
come before half the distance is encom-
passed, and the adventurous traveller dies
in agony, literally consumed with heat
from without and thirst within. Many
have been known to attempt the journey
and but few have been known to return.
These have gone no farther than the first
lake, and finding it salt water have beaten
retreat. The nearest lake has been
reached often enough to know that it ebbs
and flows with the gulf Of California, and
the water is the same, hence it must be a
part Of that body, although separated
from it by 60 or 20 miles Of solid earth
and a high range Of mountains. This
range was probably at one time an island
and the Cocapah desert the bottom Of the
sea. / once started across the barren
waste to investigate, but l had not gone
| 10 miles before becoming completely ex-
hausted. The soles Of my feet were blis-
tered with heat, my brain grew dizzy,
could get no air, and the breath seemed to
stop in my throat turned back just in
time to save my life, and when reached
the forests Of the mountain once more !
was dclirious for hours. " - st. Louis

Cnttle In America.

The first cattle that were brought into
the American colonies were landed at the
James river plantation, in Virginia, in the
year 1907, They came from the West In
dies, and were descendants Of cattle taken
to those islands by Columbus ON his sec
ond voyage, in 1903. In 1910 several cows
were landed, and In l6ll about 100 head
more were brought to the plantation, This
was the origin of the cattle business in
America In order 70 encourage the cattle
industry to the fullest possible extent nm
order was passed forbidding the slaughter
Of any animal OF the kind under penalty of
death Under this restriction the number
OF cattle increased to 5000 in Virginia
alone by the end OF the year l6S9
The first cattle brought to New England
arrived at Plymouth in 1924, They were
imported from England 10y Governor
Wiuslow Three heiters and bull made

they were black, black and white and
brindie In l696 twelve cows were sent to
Cape Ann; in lGs0, thirty more In 1855
about 100 were imported for the colony OF
Massachusetts, Bay, During the years
last above mentioned, lOS cattle had been
sent from TeXel Holland, into New York
so that by the year 1880 there were good
many head of horned cattle in the col
onieS.

Bayonet and Sword.

The saber used by the United States
cavalry is copied from the scimiter Of the
Saracens, which was the most effective
sword for cutting purposes ever devised.
Il will be remembe bered how, according to
the story told in Sir Walter Scott's "Tal-
isman, " with such n weapon the pagan
Saladin chopped a soft cushion in two at
one blow, TO the amazement Of Richard
Cosur de Lion. With straight sword one
can make hack or thrust, but to slice an
adversary one must saw with II. The
scimiter, being curved and wide and heavy
toward this end, slices by the mere fact Of
striking. The kind Of bayonets chiefly
used By the Federal troops during the war
Of the rebellion was the old triangular
pattern. Sword bayonets were also EN-
ployed on guns imported from Europe.
During the last 10 years the regulation
bayouet has been Of the "ramrod" type
hideous instrument, cylindrical and Of
the thickness OF a ramrod, with O sharp
screw point like that Of a carpenters bit.

butchers knife, is l2 inches long, with
one edge. It IA quite os effective and much
lighter than the sword bayonet. The lat
ter Ia being dispensed with by most Of the
European nations in favor Of the knife

vention. In the early days Of firearms sol
diers used 10 carry both guns and pixies,
but the notion Of attaching the pike to tho
gun In such manner that both could be
used ut tho same time was the beginning
Of tho idea Of the bayonet. Troy Times.

1t is noteworthy fact that although the

throughout every nook md corner of Eu-

is today an armed camp from tho British

North sea to tho Mediterranean.
From the first Christmas day until the

thewords first heard by Syrian sbspherds,

One afternoon the physician, accom-

the American remained in the vehicle. In
the course Of his call the physician hap-
pened to mention that his companion was
from the United States, As they drove
away an old lady rushed out of the house,
gesticulating wildly and calling on them
to stop. They did this, and she ran up, all
out of breath, shouting:
"How Is my son2 He Is In America"
She did not hear Of the New Yorker's na-
tionssity until after tho physician left the
house, and ran to make inquiry about her
son, who had been in America for fifteen
years. The woman had received no word
from or about him for several years. She

The most successful attempts in cult
waiting the olive and putting il on the mar

duced to supply the local demand Mr..
Cooper has written careful treqtise on
