The Day Of Rest.

into the error of wearing yourself out
on Saturday and making all the
family uncomfortable on Sunday, sim
ply becauce you would not break the
Sabbath. The woman who manages
to keep her family comfortable and
happy on this day, even if it be neces-
sary to do little extra work to attain,
that end, will have better moral and
spiritual influence than she who makes
all the members dread the day as being
one OF the most uncomfortable in the
whole week at home. In most families

Judge Foster of Topeka, United
States District Judge, is to be con-
graduated on his decision in the Stock
Yards case being sustained. 1t is at
least some satisfaction to know that
the protest of the people against abso-
lutte corporate control of public utili-
ties has at last been needed in one
case, and by one court, whatever may
be the final determination of the case
by the Supreme court of the United
States.
But, says our Republican friend,
what did the people have to do with it?
We answer, everything.
Think of ''reformer," ten years
ago demanding that the Kansas City
Stock Yards Combine was transacting
an illegal business and should be sup
pressed. He would, instead Of being
supported by a court, have been kick
ed into the first lunatic asylum in
sight, and enjoined from going into
the bull-pen for exercise. But there
is said to always be time for the dawn
of new day. Let us wait, and think;
and while we wait, let us ask ourselves:
Who had something to do with it?
He? Which he?

Luck Has Never Helped any Person

In reply to the query, "Does not luck
sometimes play a good1y part in a
mans SUGGEST" Edward w. Box, in
the January Ladies Home Journal,
writes:
"Never. Henry Ward Beecher an
answered this question once for all
when he said: Man prospers in
this world by luck, unless it be
the luck of getting up early, work
ing hard, and maintaining honor
and integrity What so often
seems, to many young men, on the
surface, as being luck in a mans
career, is nothing more than hard
work done at some special time. The
idea that luck is a factor in mans
success has ruined thousands: it has
never helped single person. A for
tunate chance comes to a young man
sometimes just at the right moment
And that some people call luck. But
that chance was given him because he
had at some time demonstrated the
fact that he was the right man for the
chance. That is the only luck there
is. Work hard, demonstrate your
ability, and show to others that if an
opportunity comes Within your grasp
you are able to use it."

Spending Her Millions.

Miss Grace Elliott, nee Clark, of San
Francisco, who claims to be the daughter of
the late Imblay Clarke, alleged to have left
fortune of $25, 900 900, is confident that
she will have no trouble in proving her right
to inherit this vast estate.
When asked if she would fight the case to
the end, she said. "Why, there's nothing
to fight. The property is mine, and I'll 90
to England and get the papers. That's all.
I'll give something to those eastern girls,
who will have to pay their lawyers, Vice
President Hobart and Governor Griggs.
I'll be liberal, because they are relations,
you know. Then I'll come back, build a
handsome residence and make my home
here. And I'll mary an American-no for
eign title for me. 1 am going to found a
splendid home for the friendless children
and dedicate IL to my fathers memory.
It's hard to realize 1 am so rich" And in
this strain she continued to talk as though
the somewhat visionary fortune was al
ready in her hands.

Free imm igtation laws bring Ia for
eign labor to compete with home labor
thus impoverisaing both.
Every one of these poor wretches
murdered few weeks ago were for
eiguers, Hungarians. They had been
brought here to beat down the price of
home labor. They had beat it down.
And when they had beat wages down
to where no human being could de-
Gently live on them, they struck for
better pay. Even Hungarians are
human, you see, and reach the point
where flesh and blood cannot endure
corporation greed.
And then the federal judges, crea-
lures of the corporations, got hold of
them, and enjoined them off the face
of the earth.

vanish into space, but continued to
walk down the public highway un-
armed, but hungry and unhappy, 1OC

Christian I'm Name.

Much comment has been aroused against
the management of the Yeung Women's
Christian association home, 228 Michigan
avenue of Chicago, because of the treatment
accorded Miss Annabel Farmer, the young
girl who run away from her home in Cha
mute. Kansas. and was found by park po-
liceman, overcome by exhaustion after
having been turned out of the Michigan
avenue quarters because of her inability to
pay for accommodations.
For almost week the young woman has
been lodged in the Harrison street mission.
Up to to day no reply had been received from
her father to requests for transportation
home and officers of the Young Woman's
Christian association, of which Miss Farmer
was an active member in Kansas, have, she
says, not tried to heip her in any way.
Late to- day, however, Miss Farmer found
employment and home. She also received
and offer of marriage but this she refused.
A letter was received from the yeuDg lady's
father to-day saying that he was dependent
on his pension for support and would be
unable to provide for her expenses home un-
til the next payment was due. He requested
that she secure employment until then.
The letter was signed zion. J. Q. Farmer"

And We Call This Civilization.

Ignoramuses, who cannot read or
write the English language, can,
after certain formalities, cast their
votes, and have the same voice in
questions of national Importance as

them, in intellect, and much better
posted in governmental affairs, are
not even allowed an equal chance
with this class of people.-Westerly

We gather the following statistics
from Nature:
Statistics show that, whereas Great
Britain in 1910 produced rs per cent
of heworld's supply of coal, at the
present time it produces only "a per
cent. Atlantic liners no longer carry
coal from Great Britain for the return
journey; they now take in American
coal, and no less than /, SOC, 900 tons of
American coal were thus consumed in
1895. The condition of iron manufact.
uring Industries has always exercised
most important influence on the pro-
duction of coal, so that large demand
for iron draws with it a large demand
for mineral fuel.
During the last Is years the Worlds
production of pig-iron has increast
from $4,000, 900 to 26,Oo0, 900 tons; but
the share taken by Great Britain has
fallen from 48.8 per cent to % per cent.
while that of the United States has in
creast from 14.1 per cent, to 26.2 per
cent, and that of Russia from 3 per
cent to ~ per cent. Indeed, iron is
now being imported from the United

A story which seems almost an in
vention comes from Yokohama. Ac-
cording to the New York Press, ssthe
overland telegraph between Yokohama
and Toxic was recently interrupted in
a strange and mysterious way. Every
morning for several days it was i'm
possible to get message over the line
during the early hours. Then an odd
word here and there managed to
struggle along the bewitched wires,
arriving at some point, for which. as
it was afterward discovered, it was
not intended As the day wore on.
however, the wires became clear and
remained so till the following morn
ing when they were again interrupted.
After little more delay messages did
get through, but this did not relieve
the strained nerves of the officials. for
the kilograms were of the most be.
wildering nature. A party of line
men, under the superintendent of a
japanese expert, were sent TO
thoroughly overhaul the wires on the
trunk line. They examined the line
a considerable distance without dis
covering any clue;' but one morning,
when about so miles from Toxic, the
expert saw nest of gigantic spiders
which had spun their webs about the
wires, and in some instance down to
the ground. On putting out his hand
to brush away one of these webs he
received shock, and then the cause
Of all the trouble was clear to him.

It used to be the custom in our house
to talk over, during the meal time,
whatever disagreeable things had oc-
Cured at any time preceding. don't
know just how it came about, but we
fell into the habit and kept it up, as a
great many people do such things,
probably because it had never entered
our minds that we were doing a very
foolish thing. One summer we had
guest, an old doctor, of whom we were
very fond. He was so entirely one of
us that we never thought of changing
our manners and methods, and so the
usual discussion went on.
One morning something specially
irritating had happened, and the
whole family was in a state of fer
ment. The breakfast had been a very
meal, and one or two
members of the household had left the
table with scarcely mouthful of food.
An hour or so afterward the doctor
took occasion to give me bit of lee
ture. He explained in the simplest
possible fashion the effect of agitation
on the digestion and questioned the
wisdom OF ever permitting unpleasant
topics to be discussed at meals. He
told me to observe particularly what
my own sensations were If anything
startling occurred just after I had
taken food. We had been family of
dyspePtics-nothing serious, but al
ways with what We called weak stom-
achs. "Our meals didn't set well,r as
we expressed it. and almost every-
thing seemed to upset US.

Inmates that the fertile lands of the

the deserts 100000. Fixing 2O7 per-
sons to the square mile for fertile
lands, 10 for steppes, and one for des-
erts as the greatest population the
earth could nourish, he arrives at the
conclusion that when the number of
inhabitants reaches about {, 900, OOO, 900
our planet will be peopled to its fullest
capacity. At present it contains
about one quarter of that number. If
the rate of increase shown by recent
census statistics should be uniformly
maintained, Mr.. Ravenstein shows that

What does bloom on bicycle tires in
dicate?-A correspondent of Popular
Sc1ence writes to that Journal:
THAT rubber goods can be so COM
pounded that they will not bloom is
well known. At the same time, the
appearance of this effloresence of sui
phur upon the surface of vulcanized
goods is general indication that they
have not been overcured. Goods that
have bloomed, and that remain at rest
in warm, dry place, are quite likely
it is true, to deterioate. If bicycle
riders wish to preserve their tires
when not in use, take them off and
store in damp, cool place.
