JERSEY FOREST FIRES.
The Flames Are Travelling Fast In the Vi
 cinity of Toms Biver.

cinity of Toms Biver.
 TOMs RIVER N. J., Aug. 21.-The for est fires which started near this place on Sunday are spreading and now threaten serious loss. The fires were first seen about five miles to the northwest of this place. They burned slowly on Sunday and Monday, but later a strong northwest wind sprang up, and the fire attained dangerous proportions. The flames were driven toward the farms along the Man chester pike and threatened for hours to reach the farm buildings and to destroy them.
 The farmers, aided by volunteers fought the fire all night. At times 100 men were working. Three hundred worked through put the night in relays. Valuable timber was burned during the night but nothing could be done to save 1t, as the efforts of the fighters were entirely directed toward saving the crops and buildings.
 The wind finally shifted, and the flames were driven toward the Lakewood road, but not toward the village. They are still travelling in that direction. If the wind holds it will carry the flames into the ex- tensivc cranberry bogs and swamps. The swamps are now dry and will burn if the fire reaches them. The timber land is dry as tindcr, and the fire travels fast. CAFE MAY, Aug. 21.--A forest fire cov- ering 200 acres of valuable timber is burning between Cape May Court House and Goshen. The residence and barn of George Borton were destroyed by the fire.

Chantaunua Nomen,s Club.

It has been reported that the Chau- tauqua Women's club is an organization that has sprung into existence this sum- mer. On the contrary, it is eight years old. It was founded that length of time ago by Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller. Mrs. Miller is still deeply interested in this and her other work ill the Chau- tauqua assembly, which has covered a space of over 5 years. Of the Women s club she says: ''It is more popular this season than ever. We have 60 members, and this number will doubtless be in- creased to 100 before the assembly is over. Wo consider three things in which women arc interested-homemaking, civic c--' 'tions and religious work. A membt ;, fee of 25 cents is charged which Il to purchase reference books e $ such as are discussed in the meetiH<,s and in which women are especially interested.

Miss Marion Talbot.

Miss Marion Talbot went into tho practical side of sanitation with an en- ergy that proved her sincerity, and which also soon converted her into all authority. She studied the plumbers trade, thinking to be q proficient artisan at this branch of labor, but found it too hard an. occupation for woman. Her practical knowlege of plumbing is, as may be guessed, of great value to her in her work, first, as professor of sanita- tion, and now as dean of Chicago uni versitv.

HOW TO REST.
Most of Us Are Sadly Deficient In a Sim, ple Accomplishment.


 As many of you know from experi- ence, the old fashioned chair had a straight back. It was thought that this would in some measure counteract the tendency of men and women to become humpbacked. It did not occur to them that this deforInity was due to the ex- haustion of physical energy and not to carelessness on the part of the individ uaL Round shoulders and hollow chests are due to the relaxation of the muscles of the back, and no amount of straight ening up will remove the cause. When the muscles of the back become weak from loss of energy, the muscles of the chest naturally pull the shoulders for ward. To restore the body to perpen dicular position the muscles of the back must have their energy restored
 Lying flat down and stretched out at full length is the most restful position tho human body can take, because it re- quires no effort whatever to maintain this pose.
 The Japanese understand this, and they make good use of their knowledge Instead of having their house full of stiff backed chairs, they spread soft rugs, skins or cushions on the floor or low platforms, upon which they recline when resting, reading or whiling away the time. In this way they stop the waste of the energy necessary to keep one in a bolt upright position. The blood circulates more freely, because there is no tension on the limbs. This reduces the labor of the heart to minimum. The energy thus saved goes to restore tired or weakened organs or to the in- vigoration of the brain.
 We must rid ourselves of the notion that it is sign of laziness to lie down or lounge about on the floor or cot or bed; also that it is not proper for wom- ] en to lie down when tired.
 Were our women in the habit of talk ing more rest, and taking it properly, they would not be compelled to wear stays in order to keep them straight Having to wear these constantly, the muscles of the chest and back do not develop normally and are therefore weaker than other muscles of the body -Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

THE Mora claim against Spain is twenty years old. Ten years ago the Spanish gov ernment acknowledged the justice of the claim to the amount of s1, 800 .O00. She hasn't settled yet, and now she has the audacity to insist upon the payment of the claim without inter- est. Under very much less aggravatiDg g circumstances, where the claim had never been adjusted, but arbitrarily levied by the British government, England took charge of the chief port of Nicaragua and compelled settlement, Is it not time that that this country took steps to force settle ment?

IF, as is confidently stated. iron can be produced cheaper in the United States than any other country of the world, the fact is significant. as so many uses have been found for it that the demand abroad must in- crease. What is equally encouraging is the fact that this ability to supply the world is not due to starvation wages-for our iron workers are we'll paid for their labor-but because rich iron ore and coal adapted to the conversion of it into iron abound in inexhaustible quantities in so many places and in close proximity.

engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, Il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.

THE HILO PACKET.
She Was Once Drifting Wreck
on the Ocean.

The Annie Johnson, as the Ida
Iredale, was built in England in
1874, and was of 998 tons burden.
She was abandoned on fire in the
South Pacific about fifteen years
ago. Her cargo of coal burned for
months as she drifted, consuming
everything combustible on board.
When picked up, ten months after,
she was literally an empty iron
tank, lifting herself high above the
surface of the water, inhabited by
hundreds of sea birds, which had
found the drifting hulk an excel
lent roosting place, says a late
Call. The metal plates above the
waterline had been warped by the
fierce heat into a beautiful wavy
surface, but otherwise the hull was
uninjured. The vessel was bought
by an American firm, repaired and,
with a new flag at her masthead,
took a new name and number in
the commerce of the great Repub-
lie. She is now owned by w.
