The moon has changed and the
weather has changed. Three cheers for
the changed moon and the changed
weather-that is if the weather has
really changed.
Bangkok, the capital of Siam, has
had a free public library since last
November, which is used by 1000 read
ers weekly Once week lectures are
given, which are well attended by at
tentive audiences. OF newspapers, the
Slam Observer and the Bangkok Times
print the news both in English and
Sianese, but the Dhammasatviniccha
Is written entirely in Siamese.
Minnesota and Dakota were much
alarmed by the late high winds from
thenorth, which they fear have brought
the pernicous thistle from Russia; and,
as these winds have prevailed SO far as
the Gulf Of Mexico, people who have
studied these things do not hesitate to
say that it is very possible Louisiana
may soon be Disguised to find the Rus
sian thistle thousands of miles from
its native country.
The Springfield Republican reports
that Springfield business man who
has been negotiating with London in
vestors for the sale of a two-thirds in
terest In q large manufacturing con-
Germ in New England, received this
message by cable from their represen-
tative yesterday: Impossible to do
anything with Americans on account
of action of Chicago convention" The
proposed sale would have brought over
100000 in British money to this side.
= If.you want to make a hole through
ia sheet OF glass perhaps you can do it
by the method said to be in constant
use at a great glass factory: Press a
disk Of wet clay upon the glass, and
make hole through the clay Of the
width desired, SO that the glass is laid
bare here. Then pour molten lead into
the hole. and led and glass will drop
down at once This method is based
upon the quick local heating of the
glass, whereby it obtains a circular
crack, the outline of which corresponds
to the outline of the hole made in the
clay.
How great the growth of ritualistic
practices has been in the Church of
EEngland during the fast fourteen years
lis shown by some figures compiled by
the Tourists Church Guide. In 1882
daily communion was administered in
rs churches in Great Britain, in 1896 in
.474 churches. Incense, used in nine
churches fourteen years ago, Is now
used In 3o7. The figures for churches
using lights on the altar are 5S1 and
employed, 1886 and 1852, and for those
where the worshippers face the east,
1862 and 1904. The change indicates in
many cases some change in doctrine.
When he can avoid doing so Senator
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, doesn't care
to offend his constituents. Colonel
Charles f. Jones tells this story about
him: One evening when the Kentuck-
ian was in st. Louis he accepted an in
yitation to attend a session of liter
ary club. The subject under discussion
was. (which is the Greater Character
of hakespeare-Hamlet or Macbeth?"
After the members had wrestled with
the question the president turned to the
Kentucky statesman and said: (which
do YOU regard as the greater of these
characters, Senator Blackburn"
"Well," slowly replied the senator, "a
large number Of my constituents re-
gard Macbeth as the greater; at the
same time great many of them favor
Hamlet Under such circumstances 1
think had better reserve my opinion"
The novel conceit of saloon trust,
practically decided upon by the saloon
keepers of Jacksonville, Ohio, is not
very ioportant in itself, but in it's pos
sibilities of extension is startling to
Ohio communities, which rely largely
upon the liquor tax for the support of
tbe schools and of the police depart
ment. AS with other trusts the mo-
five for the Jacksonville one is de-
crease in operating expenses and con-
seouent increased profits without an in
crease in price to the consumer. The
seventeen saloon proprietors will or
ganize a trust, close thirteen OF the
saloons, and share the profits of the
remaining four. There is thus at once
a saving OF $3.50 in the liquor tax. to
