Aged Tortoises.

Tortoises live to a great age. In the
library at Lambeth Palace there is the
shell of one of these animals which
was brought to that palace in the year
1888 by Archbishop Laua, and lived
till the year 1853 when it was killed
by the cold weather, a laborer in the
garden having dug it up from its win.
ter retreat and neglected to replace
it. Another was placed in the Bishop
Of London's garden ut Fulham in 1923.
This died natural death in 1854. The
ages of the tortoises when first placed
in these gardens we're not known

RAIN AND SHINE.

Can't have sunshine all the time
Got to come rain;
The dry land-it gifts thirsty,
An the mountain an the plain,
They cry out fer drop to drink,
An all the within flowers
Is glad to see the rain fall free,
An freshen with the showers.
Can't have sunshine all the time:
Glad fer rain to fall;
Fills the wells an makes the dells
Look fresh an sparklin'-all.
The raindrop makes the roses grow,
An if the rivers rise,
They water all the land, an go
Jest singin' meath the skies!
Can't have sunshine all the time:
l like rainy day;
Fer that's the time fer readin' books
Or maxim flddles play.
To home, or to the grocery store,
I'm happy when it rains;
Fer they need it on the mountains,
An it's welcome on the plains!

Not less than four and half billion
dollars. or an annual average of $3.50,
100000 year during thirty years
past, has been paid out to foreign
ships for ocean transportation. Is it
any wonder that we are called upon
to export gold to Europe? We can
stop doing this by building up the
American mercantile marine, by car
rying our own freight and paying our
own gold to our own ship-owners.

Protection in Louisiana.

The State OF Louisiana exempts
from taxation the property and capi-
tai employed in manufacturing within
its borders. This is neither more nor
less than direct bounty for the pro-
motion of American industries, and
we should like to have explained the
difference between that method and .
sugar bounty.

HOW AN Ak is MADE.
The Metal Is Heated Five Times and
Handled by Forty Workm~n.

On entering the main workshop the
first step in the operation which is
seen is the formation of the ak head
without the blade. The glowing fat
iron bars are withdrawn from the fur
mace and are taken to a powerful and
somewhat complicated machine, which
performs upon them four distinct oper-
ations, shaping the metal TO form the
upper and lower part of the AK, then
the eye, and finally doubling the piece
over SO that the whole can be welded
together. Next, the iron is put in q
powerful natural gas furnace and heat
ed 10 a white heat Taken out It goes
under a tilt hammer and is welded in a
second. This done, one blow from the
drop" and the poll of the ak is COM
pleted and firmly welded. Two crews
OF men are doing this class of work, and
each crew can make 1,500 axes per day.
When the AK leaves the drop there is
some superfuous metal still adhering
70 the edges and forming what is tech
nicallv known as fin" To get rid
of the fin the ax is again heated in a
furnace and then taken m hand by a
sawyer, who trims the ends and edges
The operator has a glass IN front OF
him TO protect his eyes from the SPARKS
which fly off by hundreds as the hot
metal is pressed against the rapidly
revolving saw. The iron part of tho
ax is now complete. The steel
for the blade, after being heated.
IS cut by machinery and shaped.
II is then ready for the weld
ing department. 4 groove is cat
into the edge of the iron, the steel
OF the blade inserted, and the whole
firmly welded by machine hammers
Next comes the operation of temper
ing. The steel portion Of the ak is
heated by being inserted IN pots OF
molten lead, the blade only being i'm
mersed. 1t is then cooled by dipping
in water and goes To the hands of the
inspector An ak is subject To rigid

Hang Fire.
Kansas City, March IA special
from jefferson City says: Senator Ken
nish of Holt won a victory in the SELL
ate committee on agriculture last night.
After a heated argument with railroad
attorneys the committee decided to re-
port favorably his bill fixing the stan
dard weight of a load Of stock, defin-
ing what shall constitute load. Sena-
tor Kennish says that the bill, il en-
acted, Will result in sending hundreds
of car loads of live stock to Kansas
City instead of Chicago.
Senator Gu-h's bill TO prohibit book
making and pool selling except on race
tracks while meetings are in progress
was passed by the house this morning
under suspension Of the rules.
In spite of the demands of Kansas
City and ST. Louis FOR some reform in
election and registration laws there Is
still much doubt whether the senate
will take any action that viii result IN
new law. The house has passed the
Filley bill making the Chicago law ap-
ply 10 Missouri and the senate commit
tee on elections had a meeting last
night considering II and the Laughton
bill. The committees from Kansas City
and St Louis presented their pleas Tor
reform but the old issue OF partisan
politics will doubtless prevent the tw D
houses reaching an agreement Ine
senate committee will recommend the
principal amendments suggested by
Kansas City and St. Louis but II Is now
settled that neither the house nor the
senate bill prepared by several com
rnittaes will pass the senate. Senator
Morton insists on forcing through the
senate the bill which il is conceded the
house will not touch, which means
that no election law will get through
