SHE SHAMED THEM.
Courage and Tenderness Exhibited by a
Young Woman.

Here's q story of a girl whose cour-
age brought the blush of shame to y
number Of strong men. A trolley car Of
tho Peoples Traction company while
bowling along Germantown avenue,
near Ontario street, struck a small dog.
The animal rolled under the car and
became wedged between the motor box
and the truck frame. Tho car was
stopped, and the poor dog lay there,
bowling pitifully.
It was found to be impossible to OK
tricate the dog from the outside, and
the conductor accordingly went into the
car and lifted the trap i'll the floor. The
dog lay directly under the opening, with
his mouth gaping wide III agony. At
the sight Of t.:e dog the conductors
courage forsools ;lim, and he gave up
his intention Ct eStr;cating the poor
brute. There were about 45 people i'll
the car. two-th.rds men, and five Of
them policemen. None Of these men,
however, offered to relieve the dogs
suffering.
A pretty young woman who sat near
the open trap appealed to the men to
take tho dog out. No III responded,
and so she stopped down herself and
lifted the dog carefully from under the
truck. The other women %applauded her
loudly, and tho men joined i'll rather
sheepishly .-Philade]phia Record.

Lost Art Reinforced.

Tho lost art of Welding copper to iron
or steel has been discovered by George
Cromley, Cornelius Shay and John
Ryan, iron and steel workers of Pitts
burg. They show several samples of the
metals perfectly welded. The last record
history gives of these metals having
been welded was i'll Scandinavia, 500
b. G.
The value Of the discovery comes in
the fact that copper offers greater resist
ancc to the action Of salt water than
any other metal.

1,nportant For Mothers.

Cows milk is almost at the bottom
of tho list of the food substances that
contain iron. AS it is so important to
infant life Professor Bunge has been led.
to experiment OH animals to see i'll what
proportion iron is present in the system
at different ages. He finds that tho
younger animals contain much,
iron than adults. In a guinea pig or
rabbit an hour old, for instance, there
is more than four times as much iron as
in the same animal 2% months old.
He infers from this that u long con-
tinued exclusive milk diet is not good
for babies. but should be supplemented
by wheat preparations. New York Sun.

Clevcland's Letter.
Every man happily married remem
bcrs Grover Cleveland's letter to his
friend, John Temple Graves. Of Rome,
Ga, i'll which the president spoke of
his married life as zone grand, sweet
song" And it is not improbable that
every man unhappily married remem-
bers it too. Edgar Deering Of this city
read that letter, and its sentiments
much impressed him. MI. Deering
writes songs, SO after filling himself
with inspiration from the letter he sat
down and wrote tho words and music
If a fine song, which lie called "Life Is
One Grand, Sweet Song" 1t is as fol-
lows:
Life is ono grand, sweet song
That swells triumphant on our listening ears.
Grandly its strains prolong,
R%c-cchoing swcctly o'cr tho rolling years.
It's cadence reaches to earth's renotcSt bound
AS its tale Of love and joy it tells.
Wherever love finds it's own twill there lie
found
Still weaving its magic spells.
CHORUS.
Life is ono grand, sweet song.
Grundly it's strains %prolong,
Bearing its message sweet,
Tellin. OF joy complete.
tifo is one grand, sweet song,
Thrilling our souls with JOY.
Lifo is ono grand, sweet song
That tells of love without alloy.
...ifo is one grand, sweet song
That loving hearts each to each arc singing,
Telling III accents strong M
The message sweet that it is bringing.
As long as soul touchcth soul with love divine,
Fen when life no longer thrills tho clay,
Veil have sweet converse together at the
shrine
OF love in that perfect day.
Then Mr.. Deering sent a copy Of the
song and a congratulatory letter to MI

FOREIGN NAVAL NOTES.

The French idea of a battleship is
brought out in the Gaulois, a vessel OF
IL, 232 tons displacement. Her battery,
or weight of metal, is even less than
that of the Majestic. Her maximum
speed is to be 10 knots and her largest
guns Of I1.S inch, caliber.
Battleships of recent design show that
there is u modification Of views among
naval experts with regard to heavy ordv
nance. The larger guns Of the Majestic
and others Of her class in the British
navy will be only 10 inch, or one inch
smaller caliber than tho largest guns on
the Indiana Of tho United States navy.
There is a school Of experts III the Brit
ish navy who are opposed to the mon
ster $4,000 ton battleships and prefer
vessels of less displacement.
Germany is about to build q new bat
tloship to replace the Preussen, which
is declared to be obsolete. She is to be.
of 9,842 tons displacement, II knots
speed, with a battery capable Of throw
ing $3.50 pounds Of projectile at a sin
gle discharge. Her largest guns will be
II inch breechloading rifles, but she
will have six of these instead Of four
heavy guns, as is customary upon such
large vessels. She will resemble the
Worth in most Of her features.
Tho japanese are having two battle
ships, each Of 2,450 tons displacement,
constructed i'll England. They will be
874 feet long on the water line, and
their armament will comprise four IL
inch breechlosding rifles, mounted in
pairs i'll two steel barbettes, IA inches
thick; ton 16 inch rapid firing guns in
easements, 20 three FOUNDER and four

THE PAST YEAR IN SAN JUAN.

The year just ended has been an
eventual one for San Juan county.
Real estate has been unusually quiet
and low prices have quite generally
prevailed The farmers especially have
felt the hard times, OccasiOned by the
lack of the usual ready cash market
for produce. We are sorry to say that
II number of them have been forced to
borrow more or less to help bridge over
the present financial depression. Yet
at the same time we are having as good
times al are getting along as well as
the people of any section of the States.
On the other hand San Juan county
has made visable advance during the
past year. Our orchards have grown
and are fast coming into bearing, and
in Il few years more the fruit crop of
our county will bring handsome re-
turns. Our fishing industries have
been developed as they never had been
before. A $50, 900 salmon cannery has
been erected i'm our midst; which is a
decided gain. A great many residence
buildings have been erected in our
numerous villages, and last but not
least the farmers are turning their at
tentiOn to raising stock, poultry and
fruit rather than selling hay and grain
to sell.

covered new disease i'm fruit trees,
which he says is just beginning to make
its appearance i'm the orchards of the

bark of the trees and subsequently, the
bark dies and the trees begin to rot
'nder the spots. He thinks the disease
is what Is known as ''sOur s.p," caused
by the unfOvOrable condition of the soil
in certain sections Mr.. TonnesOn has
sent a specimen to an expert i'm San
Francisco in the hope Of securing "A
remedy.
1t would be well for our local fruit
growers to keep close watch on their
frees, and note every indication of
disease.
