CURE FOR WILD OATS.

In nnc Case 1t Was Success ana
Possibly Might 30 So in Others.
From the washington Star; The Stai
man was talking to an acquaintance the
other day, when a young fellow, who
has blown in the bulk of fortune on
himself, and is liable to finish it before
many moons, passed by, just little
too heavily loaded to be comfortable.
See that young chap?' said the man,
Yes, and it's a pity about him, too
Nice fellow with good abilities, If hl|

every true, and he isn't too old to be
cured. If he went about it right"
IF you've got a cure for that sort oil
thing, and will get it patented, you will
be a millionaire before the year is out
81 can't say I've got a cure, but know
of one now in course of experiment.
He didn't go right ahead and thu
Star man nudged him with a question.
What is it, and whore is it, he
asked.
We'll I needn't tell you just that
but I'll tell you what it is happen to
know rich man with relative who is
just such another chap as the one we
have been talking about, only more 30
That is to say, he was that kind, but hc
isn't now. He was quick and bright
and had a good nose for business, but he
would spend money and make no effort
to acquire it. He had about $4,000 lef
to him when he was 81, and he wenl
through with 1t like a train through .
tunnel, and then fell back on his uncle
or step-uncle rather, and the old mar
had him on his hands. He became ut
terly worthless and was drunk and ir
trouble all the time. One day however
he had a sudden attack of common
sense, and he braeed up and stayed thai
way for a month.
Then he went to his uncle and madi
n proposition to him. This proposition
was to the effect that ii the old gentle
man would take an insurance policy on
his life for $4,000, and let him havl

with the premium, and assume the pol.
icy himself within flve years. If hi
failed he would commit suicide and thu
old man would make $4,000, less thu
premiums, which, he thought, was a
fair percentage on the investment. II
looked to the uncle something like
murder, but he thought there was no
other way to cure him, so he took the
young man up, and the experiment ha7
now been in operation two years, and up
to this time the young fellow has been
as straight as a string, and is $1,000 Ia
the good which he has set aside for
emergencies. and is going ahead making
just as much more as he can. The old
man is so pleased about 1t that l don't

five years, in case he shouldn't have

James F. Metcalfe, literary editor Of
Life, arrived in town recently after a
four months tour in Japan, says tha
New York Telegram. Mr. Metcalfe left
New York in May and proceeded to
Yokohama by way of San Francisco
going thence to Nagasaki, Kioto and
NikkO, with many excursions by the
way; and returning to New York
through Vancouver. Mr.. Metcalfe is
not favorably impressed by Japan; and
considering matters from the point OF
view of an experienced journalist, he
says that more news may be obtained
of what is going on there through Lon,
don, Berlin and st, Petersburg thar
can be had in the country itself. since
the only information that is disseminat.
ed is through the diplomats of the vari'
Gus European states, Nevertheless
from observations he has made
throughout Japan, Mr. Metcalfe be.
lieves that the country is to be the
scene of important events, involving
the rest of the world within the neXi
year or two, significant of which is the
circumstance that the person of the
Russian ambassador is guarded more
sacredly than that Of any person in the
empire, aside from the mikado.

The laws which answer to that name
arose in different places out of different
circumstances, and the American pub
lie owe to the Rev. Samuel Peters the
popular notion of such code. His
so-caled blue laws of Connecticut"
have been shown to be false, ironical
and malignant. But it must be con-
fessed he caught the spirit of early
Connecticut when he wrote:
NO one shall travel, cook yictuals,
make beds, sweep house or shave on the
Sabbath day.
No woman shall kiss her child on the
Sabbath.
mo one shall ride on the Sabbath
day or walk in his garden, or elsewhere,
except revorently to and from meeting"
Alice Morse Earle has taken the
trouble to go through the old records
of New England and she has presented
n curious array of commitments and
punishments for violations of the Sab
bath Thus:
I'm Newbury in 1916 Aquila Chase
and his wife were presented and fined
for gathering peat in the garden on
Sunday.
In Wareham William Estes was
fined ten shillings for raking hay on
the Sabbath, and aDunstable soldier was
fined forty shillings for putting a piece
of Old hat in his shoe to protect his foot
on the Sabbath.
Captain Kendle, of Boston, sat for
two hours in the stocks in 1856 for kiss
ing his wife 'publicquely,
In the New Haven code of laws it
was ordered that proclamation OF the
Lords Day shall be punished by fine,
and If proudly and with a high hand
Imprisonment or corporal punishment,
against the authority of God-with
death.
To drive horse unseemly even from
church was punishable, and there is
record of Maine man being rebuked
and fined for running on the Lords
Day to save a man from drowning, and
as late as the year 1881 a lady was ar
rested in Lebanon, Conn, within sight
of her fathers house, for unnecessary
travel on the Sabbath
The Columbian Sentinel OF December
1888, has a paragraph which says that
THE President Washington on his re-
turn to New York from his late tour
through Connecticut, having missed hla
way on Saturday, was obliged to ride
a few miles on the Sabbath morning in
order to gain the town at which he was
to attend divine service. Before he ar
rived he was met by the 'Tything man,
who commanded him to stop and de-
manded the occasion of his riding. Nor
would he let him proceed until he had
promised to go no further than the
town"
AS late as IVA the FIRST church of
RoXbury fined non-attendants at public
worship In 1861 Thomas Scott was
fined ten shillings for being absent,
unless he have learned Mr.. Norton s
catechlsm by the next court In 1863
the Legislature of Massachusetts passed
n law that ANY person able CT body
who shall absent themselves from pub
lick worship on the Lords Day shall

In 1917 william Blagden, who lived
in New Haven, was brought up for abb
sence from meeting. He pleaded that
he had fallen into the wa;er late on
Saturday, could light no fire on Sunday
to dry his clothes, and so had lain in
bed to keep warm while his only suit
was drying. But in spite of this rea-

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

Such an absolutely healthy and legit- innate demand for copper furnishes the most positive evidence of the great con sumption of the metal now taking place, says the Western Mining World. There may not be c famine of copper, but with the present unprecedented demand, and every prospect of an in creasing consumption for years to come the most conservative must be con vinced that copper |, making new his tory for itself This is the electrical age, and the utilizat on of electricity can not be accomplished without cop per. The developments now going on in this line are only precursors of what is to follow and have most important bearing on copper as indicating a forthcoming extensive application of the metal which is an absolute neces- sity in effecting those progressive changes which the new electrical age will bring about. Add this fast grow. ing electrical demand for copper to the already extensive and increasing de mand from manufacturers of brass and copper goods, and the results can read fly be comprehended. With facts as they exist tho outlook for copper is nothing short of brilliant.

 Eastern uila county, bordering on the White Mountain reservation for nearly 100 miles, is rich mineral and grazing country, of which Globe is the center and distributing point. Under more favorable conditions it would be one of the most prosperous sections of Arizona, but its development has been retarded by the proximity of the Apaches, it's inaccessibility, and the high cost of transportation, the only practicable wagon routes crossing the reservation. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, Globe has been a noted mining camp for twenty years, and her output of silver and copper has amounted to many millions of dollars, the Old Dominion Copper Co. alone having produced copper to the value of S6,500,000. We still have our mines, which are good for many years more of active production. But the conditions governing the mining in- dustry have changed greatly. The de- cline in the price of silver and copper must be met by reduced cost of pro- duction. Transportation is, with us, the controlling factor, and railroad is an absolute necessity to our well-being Therefore our impatience at the tenn porizing policy of the Federal Govern ment is excusable, especially as DO interest of the Government, or it's red wards. is ieopardized by the oonstrue- ton of railroad across the reserya- ton. h fact, railroad would be of great advantage to both. For the Gov. ernment il would cheapen the cost of supplies, facilitate the movement of troops, and lessen the danger of Indian outbreaks; and for the Indians, it would enlarge the market for their agricul- tural products, aud open new avenues of profitable employment.
 It is humiliating to think that a pre- sentation of facts and arguments in favor of the white mans rights as op- posed to the Indians privileges should be required. Such an appeal should not be necessary, but false philan- thropy has made it it so, and in the interests of our people and of civiliza. ton we submit this statement

Alexander Had n rsnaor Heart.

Two weeks before the sickness of the czar of Russia took turn for the worse, Miss Strutton, his former gov erness, died in the winter palace at St. Petersburg. Miss Struston, who was an English woman, loved Alexander Romanoff as dearly as though he had been her son. The emperor and his two brothers attended the funeral, follow ing the hearse on foot from the palace to the English cemetery, almost two miles apart. His majesty and the two grand dukes had carried the coffin from the deathroom to the hearse. When the body was lowered into the grave the czar, it is said, wept like Q child.

SILK FROM WOOD PULP.
A New Industry to He Started fin This
 Country.

Country
 Reference has nlready been made to the method of making silk from wood pulp, the discovery of Dr. Lehner, of Switzerland. Companies have been re- gently formed in England and Mont real and factories will be erected to manufacture the silk, says the New York World.
 In the process of manufacturing the new fabric the principal ingredients used are spruce wood pulp, cotton or jute waste, etc, combined with large quantity of alcohol. The use of the substantial or solid materials men toned creates q market for what was hitherto of no use whatever, being burned in factory furnaces to get it out of the way.
 Spruce sawdust now has a market value, for this, as well as the other ma terials, are digested by chemical proc ess, in which alcohol plays an impor- tant part. The material thus digested is so much like the cocoon spun by the silltworm that when the two are placed side by side in finished state it takes an expert to determine which is which.
 The artificial material at one state is liquid, and of density about equal to the ordinary sirup of commerce. When in this state a machine of Dr. Lehner's invention, which may he called au artificial silSworm, comes into play. This machine, which is very sim pie in construction, requiring so little attention that it can be kept at work with about as much labor ns is devoted to twenty-four-hour clock, performs exactly the same mechanical work that q silltworm does. 1t draws from the liquid continuous, unbrolxen thread of even diameter and unlimited length. As this thread is spun, another portion of the machine takes it up and twists it into auy desired thickness of yarn with perfect regularity.
 Thus the fabric can be made of any desired weight or thickness, so that it will be seaSonable at all times.
 This artificial silk has beeu spun in Bradford, England and worked up into Q large variety of fabrics In the dye ing weaving and finishing of these no special treatment has been found neces. sary II has been dyed in all imagiu- able shades aud colors and owing to the peculiar qualities of the material, 1t takes a dye more readily and gives more brilliant effect than the natural article. In texture it is equal to the best of Chinese and Indian silks, being soft and silllcn to the touch IL is ex- pccted that it will be used largely iu combination with natural silk and cotton for producing brocaded effects These latter have been 90 expensive lately as to be out of reach ofall but the fattest purses The invention will greatly reduce the cost.

FORTUNES EASILY MADE.

sotne Neb Acquire Riches Without Any

 The three principal matters which have all to do with the increase of wealth in society as at present cousti. tuted are the natural bountics upon which man constantly exercises his fac- ultics, and everything which enables him tu use thcm to better advantage; the means of transporting the products Of his labor to all parts of tho earth with case and chcapneSs, and the me- dium which facilitates exchange of commodities between men - money. The study of these three principal sources of wealth to a community will reveal two facts that the people have been as indifferent to them us the moncy-malSers have been attentive; and that while the indifference of the one accounts for their ever-dimiuishiug wages the attention of thc other ac. counts for their immense fortune.
 It is from the natural bountics that all the wealth of any community springs, writes Edward McGlyun. D.. D., in Donahoe's Magazine The land and it's resources. the forest and it's riches, the rivers, scus and oceans with their tceming life are the first and only sources of real wealth, and upon them depend the artificial values which so- ciety gives to the beginning of all so- cial wealth. He k the unit of value IL is his exertion which creates all val ues, and the object of his cxcriions is the support of his own life, the accom- plishnent of his own destiny, here and hereafter, as his Creator ordained. The natural bOunties must always, there fore be open to him in every society, DO matter how complex its orPaniza- tion. The necessity implies a right the right of getting at the natural bounties with ease and without serious hindrance the right of using these bounties without tax to any power save society, directly or-to its agents. Now, at this point we get our first glimpse of the manner in which enormous fortunes are made.
 We take possession of these natural bounties, to monopolize them under cover of law and custom, and to make all men who would use them pay be- forehand for the privilege, have been the aim of the money-maliers since time began; by getting hold of the natural bounties, which really belong to the community, and should never leave it's jurisdiction except in the most prudent fashion, and then ouly to revert reg ularly to the same community, the builders of great fortunes have been able to enrich themselves at pleasure without any labor worthy of the i'm mense prizes they win.
