UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPERS.
Another Remarkable Invention for
Printing.
Electricity Brought in to shorten Dis
tance-NVIH DO Work
of Many Men.

The telegraphic reproduction OF ster-
eotype plates for newspaper printing
is reported to be among the latest
achievements OF electrical invention.
1t consists in the transferring and re-
production of exactly similar newspa-
peTs in widely separated cities by
means OF the electric current in season
for practically simultaneous produc-
ton.
New York newspaper could thus
appear in Boston, Chicago or New Or
leans without being sent through the
mails. The inventors claim for their
apparatus not only increased rapidity
but they say also that it will reduce
the cost of printing. The inventors
and patentees, c.. Meray-Horvath and
G. Roar, at Graz, describe the working
of the apparatus as follows:
The copy is first of all run off on a
typewriter, which serves as corrector's
proof. A special attachment releases
a narrow strip of silvered paper, which
is covered by number of short strokes
and dots, constituting an alphabet pc
culiar to this machine. These strokes
and dots are made by means of chem
zeal fluid, which so changes the metallic
surface of the paper that it becomes
non-conductive.
ANY corrections becoming necessary
can be made on the strip of silver pa
per; inserting or cutting out of copy
is also easily performed. After being
edited and corrected, the long strip of
silver paper is rolled up on a spool and
inserted into a telegraphic apparatus,
which, when set in motion, will repro |
duce the same strokes and dots on a |
similar silver paper at any distance. |
and in any number of apparatus con-
nected at the same time.
These strips of silvered paper are |
placed into the electric typograph.'
The strip passes beneath six points of |
electric contact covering the entire
width of the metallic surface The
typOgraph operates in such a way that
the steel type representing each charac-
ter is imposed upon a prepared card
board in the proper order. An auto
matte mechanism provides for the va
rying width of the type, for the spacing
and alignment, and for the moving OF.

of copy. AS compared with the type
setting machines now in use, this ap-
paratus gives the advantage of cor
recting and editing the entire copy
from typewriter proof-sheets. The

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where doors and germs OF dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagrl cable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the dUty-doing it
well. Can we show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributors" Our Mr.

Some Novel Races.

A London newspaper some v.ars ago
contained an account of a STR rge sort
OF contest which two noblei".n once
got up for their own amusc:ient. 1t
consisted of matching foe of tur-
keys and a flock of geese for Il race on
the London and Norwich road. in the
middle of the last century. The tur-
keys would insist upon flying into the
roadside trees to rest; while the geese,
keeping upa steady waddle all night,
reached London from Norwich two
days ahead. The same journal also
mentions the fents of Hon Tom Coven-
try's sprinting pig. In 1903 this speedy
animal was matched against cele-
brated runner, and started a strong
favorite on the day Of the race, which
she won with ease. The pig had been
trained to run tho distance each day
for its dinner. Another strange contest
OF this time took place between two
sporting noblemen, who raced against
each other on windy day on Hamp-
stead Heath, one running backwards
in jack and the other holding up
an open umbrella, ana running for
wards. -Darper's Round Table.

WHAT WE OWE SOCIETY.
Above An Things We should Be ASrooa-
BILE.

For example, in declining an invita-
ton that we would not under any cir
cumstances accept. are we privileged
to say that we deeply regret that : .
previous engagement prevents the
pleasure, etc. When we have been
greatly bored, and have SO expressed
ourselves to various persons in the
company, should we say to the host
and hostess, even if be tho custom,
that we are indebted to them for a
very delightful evening? Ia it quite
the thing, if we have asked our com
panion who that very plain woman
may be, and are presented to her, q
few moments later, by Mr.. Jones as his
wife, to declare that we had been
wondering who that very pretty
woman was? Does our conscience feel
easy when we remember that after
being compelled to listen to a sonata,
very i'll performed, which we pro-
nounced excruciating, we have deliber-
ately walked up to the performer and
praised him in superlativesP Is our
equanimity not disturbed a whit when
we say to our friend: Don't introduce
me to that cadr and the next minute,
while shaking his hand, repeat the
formula: Charmed to meet you!"
These and numberless other hypoc-
risies and falsehoods are almost the
current coin of social speech. Conse-
quently they are not considered what
they really are, and he who objects TO
them is regarded as over-scrupui IONS,
severely puritanic. What would YOU
have us say? some one may ask. Tell
the brutal truth, and be unpardon-
ably rude? If it be urged that rude
ness is preferable to lack of veracity,
1T may be claimed that such fictions
really deseive nobody; that society
does not expect anyone to be truth
full, and that no harm is done. If SO,
the admission is sufficiently damaging
to society to give color to what cynics
say Of it. Is it indeed miserable
sham, mere dance of death, n mass
of corruption under q polished surface?
Society is. nothing of the kind here.
whatever it may have become at some
of the courts of the old world. Iiere
we need not say what we do not be-
lieve; nor need we contradict what we
have just spoken in order to he polite.
Politeness consists ia slIppressing i'll
natured comments, in the first place,
not in asserting the contrary after
ward. 1t is possible to be reasonably
sincere even In society, if we will
strictly carry out our unwritten COM
pact to be agreeable-at least to try.
And in the furtherance Of th, object
amiability will be q great heI?.-Har-

WAITING FOR VICTIMS.
How Texans Made Money Out of Poor
Road


Road.
/ remember travelling once in one Of
the counties north of here, week or
two after somewhat protracted spell
of(hot weather. The country was roll
ing prairie and the roads were beauti-
full except at the small wet weather
streams in few of the larger hollows,
and these were only from ten to thirty
feet in width and could have been
bridged for about $25 apiece. Yet
found a team begged up in almost
every other one in a whole days drive.
They seemed to be almost bOttomless,
and, although had good, strong pair
of ponies and a very light buggy, it
was with the greatest difficulty that
got through several of them myself.
In one of the worst of the DOGGY holes
l found wagon containing woman,
four or five children and few light
household goods and with four very
good horses attached. The owner of the
team had waded across and stood, the
very persOnification of detection, on the
other side.
oIl IL Hill dDOut oOO yuTuS ulstdut
stood a fine farm house and one of les
ser pretentions on the opposite side of
the read. The ownerOf the team told me
that the owner Of the former house
who was working on a fence near by
had offered to pull him out for 81, but
when told he had no dollar, was coldly
told that he would have to get one
before he got out of that hole. Il have
got just 3d." said the poor fellow. "but
| have over $50 miles TO go and am out
of provisions" / had two long stake
ropes and by hitching them to the end
of the wagon tongue, getting the poor
horses out on solid ground and hitching
my team in the lead we got the wagon
out. l stopped and tried for a sub
scription from the man at the fence
who had cody watched the whole pro-
ceedings, but Of couse didn't get 1t. A
little further on l learned that he was
q road overseer and that he and his son,
who lived opposite, took turns day
about keeping yoke of oxen in the
lot ready to pull teams out of that hole
at 81 apiece, and that made from So to
So per day for from one to three weeks
after every wet spell.-San Antonio

THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.

The asparagus beetle was noticed
Jersey.lt has been working northward
ever since. 1t has done much damage
on Long Island and in southern Con-
necticut, but has been followed by a
parasitic enemy that greatly aided
farmers in keeping it under control.
At one time it was hoped that the
parasite would exterminate the beetle.
but such is not the course Of nature.
Parasites suppress, but never extermi-
nate. No war was ever known where
all the combatants were destroyed.
The beetle has been doing more or
less damage in the vicinity of Boston
for half-dozen years or more.
1t is not difficult to fight in old beds,
as cutting the shoots destroys most of
the eggs that are laid during the cut
ting season. The first crop Of beetles
grown the year previous) usually gets
through mating, eating and gglaying
by the middle of June, when peas are
ready for picking. My rule Is to cut
asparagus till the last beetle is dead,
then the new stalks will be free from
eggs, and / will have no slugs.
On new beds the case Is different.
Cutting here Is not allowable, so the
eggs hatch and the young slugs must
be destroyed. If a careful gardener
has a careless neighbor, the former
will have hard fight, as the second
crop Of beetles, appearing late in sum-
mer, will be sure to visit him in large
numbers.
The best way to destroy slugs have
tried Is to dust the foliage when wet
with dew with air-slaked lime, using
1t quite freely. The slug is soft
bodied thing, and the lime curls him up
in short order. G. w. Prescott, Of Con-
cord, one of the most successful grow
ers in this State, writes 'The Farm
and Home" that he fights the beetle
with chickens. Two men-one at each
end-take board, ten or twelve feet
long, and, carrying it in front of them,
brush the beetles from the foliage in
the early morning, while they are in a
semi-dormant state. Chickens are
taught to follow, and they pick up most
of the beetles. Mr.. Prescott's chief
trouble Is with neighbors' beetles, pro-
pagated in fields that are badly neg
lected. 1t would seem but just that
any one having such nursery of mis-
chief should be compelled to abate it
or suffer the consequences.
Poultry do not eat the slugs, SO these
must be killed by poison or by knock
ing off to die on the hot ground. Mr..
Prescott says he has seen them dead
in less than sixty seconds after falling
on sand in the heat of q sunny day.
Paris green will destroy the slugs or
beetles If 1t can be made to stick to the
foliage. Adding glucose or molasses
to the water will help the matter
somewhat.
OF all the remedies have tried, lime
dust is the cheapest and most easily
applied. One can throw a handful
over quite space and cover every
leaf when wet with dew on still
morning.-A. w. Cheever, in New Eng,
lnn1 Farmer
