plays put upon the stage in recent
years. The story is thrii lILg, and justice
is done for startling and realistic scenes
by perfection of mechanical effects.
Among other reprod uctions is a repre-
sentation of amen CINE room on a
Mississippi river steamboat, with the
furnaces under the boilers fired up: q
train of car shoots across the stage in
one scene, and in, another there IS a
vivid, beautiful and awe-inspiring

The Chicago Dispatch had Thanks
giving editorial with protest. 1t
asks if the Christian churches as they
exist in the world today reflect the
character and will of the founder. 1t
reminds the church and the state that
there are three million enforced idlers
in America now, and the prospect that
the next three months will add at least
half that many more to the army of
the unemployed. 1t insists that more
than half a million American homes
are in different degrees of want and
distress owing to these circumstances,
and then concludes that somebody or
something is to blame for these hard
times, and says it is not the almighty,
for ne has promised that the seed
time and harvest shall not fail, and
they fail not. The earth yields OF her
fruits and mines and breadstuffs, and
all other necessaries for the comfort
of man in abundance, and yet man is
to great extent in poverty and want:
the rich are becoming richer, the poor,
poorer. From plain, common, happy.
prosperous people OF half century
back, we have become a nation of
milliOnaires and tramps, for there has
grown up in the land IAN almost ir-
resistlble power, with teeth as knives,
and jaw teeth as swords to devOur the
poor from off the earth and the need
from among men. 5" The conclusion
of the Dispatch is that it is right to
give thanks to the Creator for bless
ings enjoyed, but it will be
an outrage to human life, liberty and
happiness on the part of the masses
who have been robbed, oppressed and
enslaved by plutocratic laws, to give
expression in any form to these thanks
unaccompanied by an appeal to the
throne of grace for relief from an I'M
holy plutOcracy: of which the church is
nowadays one of the landmarks.

Take Care of Your Watch,

The mechanism Of the human body re-
minds one very much OF the mechanical con-
struction OF fine watch, the wheels, cogs
and screws answering to the muscles, and
the delicate springs are what may be likened
to the nerves. One cannot move without
the other, and yet the action of each is sopa-
rate and distinct. So 1t is with the nerves and
muscles of tho human body. The ailments
of the muscles are distinct from the ailments
of the nerves, and, like the mechanism Of a
watch, II exposed to sudden change of heat
and cold, they get out Of order and for the
time are useless. Especially is this so at this
season of the year, when from exposure,
negligence or want OF care, the nerves are
attacked and neuralgia in its worst form sets
In. But like oil to the works of watch SO
is st. Jacobs Oil to the nerves thus deranged.
1t is acknowledged by thousands to be the
best and most permanent cure for this most
dreaded disease: hence 1t is well to look after
the human watch as well as the one in tho
pocket.

Tidal Bell BuOyS.

Tho force of the tides as distin-
guished from that of tho swelling
waves is to he utilized to keep in agi-
tation bell buoys in harbors, under o
patent just granted. ga current actu-
ated bell buoy" is what the inventor
calls it, The action from the force of
the current is wholly automatic. The
float upon which the superstructure
and bell are mounted cuts and shifts
from side to side. A ball is confined
in q tube uEder the bell at its mouth,
and having free passage as the float
lists it strikes the bell with grent force.
The bell will ring equally we'll by the
action of the sea.
The feature that is most novel is
that the bell is at its best when the
sea is smoothest. just so long as
there is motion in the water, whether
tidal or current, it is sufficient to ring
the bell. This feature will be most
appreciated by masters and pilots for
the reason that as q rule thick fog
is accompanied by q deathlike still
ness. 1t is then that the skipper anx-
iously feels his way, listening for
some familiar guiding sound. He has
no hope OF hearing bell that is alone
actuated by the sea, but the tide is al
ways with him, either at ebb or flow,
and the tidal bell buoy is sure to be
faithfully at work, pealing it warning
notice. New York Journal.

HuDDor Scraps.

CASTOR rubber shoes are now q mar.
ketable commodity and many country
peddlers add considerably to theii
gains by collecting them. They arc
usually taken in exchange for tinward
or cheap trinkets. No cash changes
hands In these transactions. When
the peddler returns to his starting point
he turns over his collections to tho
village merchant for more tinware,
with perhaps q little cash, and goes
out over new route. The peddler
may be in business on his own account
or In the employment Of the village
trader, but in either case the latter has
a chance to make profit on the col.
lections Of scrap, which are shipped
from time to time to a city dealer.
The latter will offer his rubber stock
whenever 1t reaches good proportions
to rubber reclaimlng mill. When old
shoes first became n merchantabe M
ticle the price paid for them was ]
cent q pound, while the quotations
have since averaged cents per pound
for months at time. The trade IN
rubber scrap is now most thoroughly
organized in the West and Northwest.
In the Southern States, where little
snow falls, the consumption of rub
Der shoes is not sufficient to form q
basis of trade in old shoes. OF the
rubber scrap imported the largest share
comes from Russia. The imported
scrap Is not SO desirable, however, as
what is gathered at home. In spite
Of the good consumption of rubber foot.
wear in New Nngland there are ua
dealers in scrap there in a position of
commanding Importance. This Is due
In part to tho existence of nearby fac
tories, which buy directly from tho
smaller dealers. In the West the prin
cipal center of the trade is Chicago.

Manted=An Heir.

One OF the most curious cases down
for hearing in the Court of Chancery
is the final settlement of the disputed
will of the celebrated prima donna,
Nine. Titiens, whose death occurred in
1877, nearly twenty years ago. Mme.
Titiens was born in 1910 at Hamburg.
She made her first appearance on the
stage at the early age of fifteen. She
was never married, and at her death
her immense fortune was left to rela-
tive, who, however, disappeared three
years before her death, and has never
since been heard of. The missing rela.
tive, Peter Titjen, was in 1878 resid-
ing in Cardiff, and shortly after that
time he intimated his intention of go.
ing to South America, but whether he
ever did SO cannot be traced. For
nearly twenty years the next relatives
have endeavored to obtain the wealth
on the presumption that he is dead,
and hos left no heirs, and last year an
order was granted that, after proper
advertising, if he or lis heirs failed to
appear it should be assumed he was
dead. -Galignani Messenger.

Slate for Houses,

Slate is too much overlooked as
material for inside decoration. 1t ex-
lists in many different shades. 1t is
easy and inexpensive to quarry, and
by far the easiest stone to shape into
pleas ng forms. These qualities render
it III, cheapest OF durable materials
for interior purposes, and the wonder
is that so little of it is in common use.
If large dealers would establish depots
OF standard goods made up for COM
bination in house building in such
forms as would be available to archi-
tects, its use would be indefinitely ex-
tended. Hardly cottage of any pre-
tensions would be built where it would
not take prominent part. If such
depots were established, house build
ers would be enabled to sec it, and
appreciate its beauty and cheapness.
As it is, hardly one in five hundred
knows anything Of either. Stone.

Ono Correct Answer.

An amusing little story was told q

mission to the bar Of Caledonia County.
He reported that one Of the candi.
dates was, In his opinion, unqualified,
having answered correctly but one of
the questions put to him.
"Only one2 Well, what was that?"
asked the presiding Judge.
'I asked him what freehold estate

"And what was his replyT
"He made it without the least hesita.
tion," said the Chairman, with a twin.
kle in his eye. "Of course that fact is
in his favor"
"Well, what did he say?" asked the
Judge, with some impatience.
''He said," returned the Chairman,
'that he didn't know"
