The Only Enelish Thing.

: The American frigate Constitution
was beautiful ship, and wherever she
went excited the most favorable COM
ment. After the war of 1912 she was
visited by an English officer of high
rank, WHO, after making an inspection,
said: This is one of the finest frigates
] ever saw, if not the finest; but must
say that her wheel is clumsy and ugly
and unworthy of the vessel" The Yam
kee captain replied: "Sir, that whee
is the only English thing IN the ship
During her action with the Java hel

how n Fortune Was Lost.

\ London electrician recently invent
ed an apparatus calculated to greatly
simplify a certain process of manufac-
ture, This he perfected in his own fac
tory and Professionally patented. Other
interests then occupied his attention,
and, by some mischance he forfeited
his right to complete the patent. Ill
ness afterward intervened, and in his
absence the apparatus went wrong, and
u workman was called in to put matters
right. lie realized the value of the In
vcntion, thoroughly mastered the In
tricacies of the apparatus, and straight
way drew up specification and OBJ
tanned letters patent. Almost at once
he disposed of the right to use the ap-
paratus to a certain number of firms
and found himself in u moment the
richer by close upon 100000. Mean
time the actual inventor merely enjoys
the right to use the apparatus in his
own works.

One of the most important factors in
the mining of coal to-day is the electric
mulc. Nftcr the electric drill has done
it's ,,eril and the coal is shovcled into
cars they are gathered together with
the aid of mule or electric locomotive
and arranged in long trains which are
hauled to the mouth of the mine by
powerful electric locomotives. These
are made of narrow gauge. Of small
dimensions, so rs to be capable of
use in galleries and runs where mules
cannot be used without extra cutting.
They are controlled bymcans of a series
of parallel controllers now so universal
ly known in connection with the troll
ley. An electric headlight is provided,
which draws its current from the same
wires and is powerful enough to enable
the motorman to see any obstruction on
the track II long distance ahead. These
locomotives are made in sizes from 80
horse power up to 100.

VEGETARIAN HOSPITAL.
Sick People Being Cured on n Non
Meat Diet in England.

Sick People Being Cured on n Nom
Meat Diet in England.
Vegetarianism has taken stand in
England which entities it to respect
from people who are not entire believ-
ers in the doctrine, reports the New
York Times. The restaurants of the
vegetarians are clean and they provide
n menu of reasonable variety. One of
the latest steps in the line of the work
has been the founding of vegetarian
hospital. which writer in the London
Daily Chronicle describes. Itwas start
ed in 1896, though little was said about
it at the time, as the founders did not
wish to advertise il until they were sure
of its becoming successful. 1t was to
be for nonvegetarians, it being under
stood that vegetarians are never ill.
Consequently there was some prejudice
10 overcome. 1t was also thought that
there might be difficulty in putting an
invalid accustomed to eating meat sud
denly upon a vegetable diet. But no
trouble was found, patients did as we'll
as could be desired, and the result has
been altogether very satisfactory. The
! hospital authorities believe that the
general increase of cancer is due, to ex-
cess in meat eating. Pine baths and
massage treatment, with plenty of
fresh air, are included in the hospital
! regimen

That we live in an age of reform is one
of the ever-present facts that faces intel
Ggence. To define the fine line thatsep-
arates mere change from reform is diff
cult. Some of us, says the Detroit Free
Press, go through life with the feeling
not up to the standards of the knowl-
edge of to-day. so that we are prepared
to revise and throw aside every opinion.
Every new idea is accepted as an ad-
vance. Change is not always progress,
nor discoveries the milestone, the trade
mark of knowledge. All that is valu-
able in the increase of knowledge
simplifies living. Living becomes an art,
the perfection of which ceases only at
the grave, so that the whole of life is
cumulative. To master the knowledge
that brings God into closer relation, that
makes life not period OF suffering, but
period of acquisition, of health and
happiness; to make health the normal
condition of every soul born in this
world, is to make visible the divinity in
man that is his crown of glory. This is
possible only as the new builds on the
old. Construction, not destruction, is
the mark of progress. Cumulation, not
annihilation, is the secret of spiritual
growth, whether for the individual OF
the nation. The mastery of the past i:
possible only when wisdom sits en-
throned. Change is not, then, the i'm
I pulse of the moment, but the silen'
growth of the passing days, unheralded
but known by the fine impulse tha'
! makes for better things.

Government DorroyyS Money from Eu-
ropcnns for This Purpose.
The Chilians, 1.-The Yankees of South
America" are moving in the matter of
RAILWAYS, and the Chilian government
is considering an offer from German
syndicate for $35,OOO,000 at Az per
cent, to be expended in building lines,
reports the Philadelphia Ledger. The
offer is stroke of enterprise not mere
ly as an investment, but because of the
foothold it will give Germany in South
American industries. In a mountain
Gus country like Chilli $35,00o,o0o will
not build many miles of road, especially
since the first effort will probably be to
scale the Andes and to establish COM
munication with the Atlantic states.
but it will build so much that more
must be had to make the first available.
In the end, it is most probable the sum
will amount to S100,000,000, or more, be-
sides which many other millions will
have to be invested in equipment, and
Germany will be in a favorable position
to furnish all that is required. If prop
erly conducted the movement will be
profitable to both Germany and Chilli,
and though the United States may re-
gret to see such nm alliance between
South American state and foreign
nation the United States will have moth
ing to say in contravention of 1t. The
Monroe doctrine does not cover such
case, and our attitude toward the sister
republics of late years has not been
such as to encourage intimate trade re-
Iations with them

The Dog Gave HE Life to Protect Her
from Wolves.
One day recently Ranchman Sam
Dodge, who lives near Caney, Kan, in
the Usage country, went to Vinita on
business, and shortly after he had gone
Bessie, his fve-year-old daughter, wan
dered away from home in an attempt
to follow him. Mrs. Dodge discovered
her absence about two hours after her
departure. She made q thorough
search of the premises, and, failing to
find the child, notified the neighbors Of
her disappearance. They turned out in
force, and secured the prairies all that
day and all that night, md all the next
day, searching for the little wanderer,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
At last an Indian came upon her lying
fast asleep just south of Post Oak creek,
in an old road known as the 'Whisky
trail" Across her body stood a New
foundland dog. which had always been
her companion about the ranch. The
dog was torn and bleeding. and near
his feet lay the dead bodies of two
wolves. Although her cheeks were
stained with tears and covered with
dust Bessie was unharmed. She and
her protector were taken back to her
home, distance of 12 miles from where
they were found, where the dog died
of his wounds that night. He was given
u decent burial, and Sam Dodge has
ordered marble monument, which
will be placed ut the head Of the faith

crmcn md Men without Ncclss.
DIR. Lockhart, member of the medi-
cal academy of London. has received as
n gift for the library of the association
series of volumes relating to China,
sent him by an English missionary, Rev.
c. c. Spaham, of 1Iankow.
Among these volumes, says the Cron-
ique Universelle, he has discovered n
Chinese geography extremely curious
and valuable, This book has for its
title "Sha-Hai-Sing" mountains and
seas).
The author gives strange descrip-
ton of the people living in other parts
of the globe. He says they are divided
into four distinct classes. The first in
cludes men possessing three faces; the
second consists exclusively of dwarfs;
the third of hybrids, partly men, partly
fish; the last division. the most curious
of all, of men who have no neck. The
head is placed directly on the trunk, the
face turned on the upper side.
When they wish to travel they force
down their mouth stick which. with
out encountering any obstacle, passes
entirely through them, and in this way
their servants carry them on their
backs, taking them from place to place
like living pnlanquins.

one-fifth of the cost of the crown of lit

While slavery is supposed to have
been abolished at the close of the re-
bellion, nevertheless two men are to be
sold at auction at Lebanon, KY, in a
few days just as slaves used to be before
the war. The men are chronic vagrants,
reports a local exchange, and it is under
a law made for the suppression of such
gentry that this sale is to occur. They
were convicted of vagrancy, and as n
penalty one is to be sold for nine
months to the highest bidder, and the
other for three months. The purchaser
can put them to any labor he sees fit
during the time for which he buys them,
and in return must feed and clothe
hem.
