for American securities in London and by indi.
cations of a selling movement in Sugar Refining

figures yet recorded for them. A feature of the

among these wero Kansas and Texas preferred

there was unusual activity in Central of

to Sugar Refining In respect to activity, and
which. with Rock Island, National Lead. Kan

Agricultural and mining men are in
terested in a mechanical device known
as the current pump, which has been
invented and successfully operated in
Montana. This device is. the invention
of Louis E. Miller of Montana and has
been designed to supply water along
streams whose banks rise SO abruptly
and to such heights as to render i'm
practicable all efforts hitherto made to
use the water for irrigation or for
placer mining. 1t is simple and COM
pact and can be easily carried from
place to place. 1t requires no prepara
tory construction work in the way of
anchorage, and it needs no power to
operate it other than the force of the
current of the river in which it is
placed. Placed liz stream of water and
depending alone upon the current of the
stream for power, it will pump 1000
gallons Of water an hour in a five mile
ourrent-the quantity of water increas-
ing as the current increases-and will
raise this amount of water to an eleva-
ton varying from 70 to 100 feet, in pro-
portion to the rapidity of the current.
It is asserted by those familiar with
the lands in Montana, Idaho and other
northwestern states lying along such
rivers as the Missouri, Snake and Co.
lumbia, that they are almost without ex-
ception rich in placer gold and would
yield immense profits could they be
worked at moderate expense. Owing
to the nature of the banks, however, it
has been impossible to work these lands
without involving such enormous ex-
penditures in the construction of bitches,
fumes and reservoirs as TO absorb all
the profits resulting from mining. The
same truth holds in regard to irrigation.
Now, with this simple but effective de-
vice, it is asserted that placer grounds
may be operated and fertile agricultural
lands cultivated at minimum expense.

Charlotte Observer.
The development of the prof. ssion-
al teacher has resulted in the demand
for better and longer termed pu bic
schools for the trained teachers to
take charge of. This upward educa.
tional tendency was irresistible. 1t
permeated the whole State. The
Legislature could not withstand the
plea for better public schools. How
should this end be accomplished? By
local taxation. And economical-we
had almost said misprly-North
Carolina offered $500 to every town
ship or school district that put an
additional $500 to it.
The North Carolina teachers TODAY
are doing more towards making the
approaching August school election
success than any other class. The
preachers and the newspapers are
doing little, herhaps, but are not
holding up the hands of the teachers
AS they should. But we wish to cav
that North Carolina is proud OF heu
teachers and we have a good hope thai
Whatever be the success of the August
election, great forward movement
has begun, and the North Carolins
! teachers will in the end see the reap
ing of an abundant harvest from
Their earnest seed sowing

Judge and Jury,

An exchange tells story of a we'll
known judge who is noted for his fond
ness for conveying in his charges to ju-
rors his own opinions in regard to the
merits of the case in hand. Recently,
in giving such a charge, he expressed
his views very plainly, but to his amaze
ment the jury remained out for some
hours.
The judge inquired of the officer what
was the matter and learned from him
that one juror was holding out against
the other IL. He sent for the jury at
once, and stating to the jurors that he
had plainly intimated how the case
ought to be decided said he understood
that one juror was standing out against
the other IL. He proceeded to rebuke
the juror sharply.
The obstinate juror, as it happened,
was nervous little man, and as soon as
the judge was done he arose and said:
Your honor, may say word?''
Eyes, sir. said the indignant judge.
''What have you to say?"
well, what wanted to say is, am
the only fellow that's ON your side"

Soft Tires Cost the Cyclist More, but Give
Him Greater Pleasure.
Many of the evils charged to vibra-
ton would be avoided if riders were
more generally willing to ride with
their tires pumped only to a moderate
degree of hardness. To ride habitually
with soft tire shortens the life of the
tire, but the price Of a pair of new tires,
as occasion may demand, would seem to
be very moderate compensation for the
comfort of the body and preservation of
the machine which follows the use of
tires not too hard, but just hard enough.
Undoubtedly the total pleasures and
benefits of cycling would be greatly en-
HANGED if riders as class were to use
tires somewhat larger than those now in
general use. But larger tires would
bring increased liability to puncture
and leakage and the accompanying an
noyance.
Resi1iency is dear to the cyclist, but
it is practically lost when the tire is
pumped to extreme hardness. The tire
manufacturer is obliged to confront
complicated set of possibilities. He must
provide the antivibratcry feature and
yet knows that to do SO with the idea of
Offering the highest possible benefit to
the rider would hurt his business. If he
advised that tires be only moderately
prmped many of them would come back
accompanied by criticisms rejecting ON
their durability. Competitors would take
advantage of the fact, and the result
would be disastrous. He is therefore
forced to advise riders to keep their tires
hard. The exigencies of business de-
mand that the tires be preserved with
out special regard to the health of the
rider or the life of the machine-Amer-

reQuisition upon the civil service COM
mission for the clerkship, and four per-
sons-Miss Stalnaker and three men
were certified by the commission as hav-
ing passed the required examination.
The duties call for knowledge OF
English, French, German and Spanish,
and it was desired that the incumbent
should be an expert cataloguer and type
writer and should have also general
adaptability for work in the compilation
of consular reports for publication. II
was found that Miss Stalnaker possessed
the best qualifications for the office. and
Mr.. Emery. chief of the bureau, had nc

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Green moses gathered in the
woods for winter use haye way of
losing their color and turning brown
as they become dry. If the moss
is first well cleansed in clear water
and then soaked a short time in
water made almost black with blu
ing, it will brighten in color when
dried. Spread the wet moss upon
papers or an old tray and let it dry
in the air, but not where the sun will
strike it.

In making bags or cases for silver
ware an unbleached material should
be employed. Sulphur is generally
used in the bleaching processes, and
it tends to blacken and tarnish sill

blue, white, or pink soft tissue paper,
and unbleached cotton flannel bags.
Peanuts may be baked and served
