A VOYAGE
When sleep is coy and slumbers nee.
l hasten down TO the dreamland sea,
Where Fancy's boat
Doth lightly float
On the silent waters, awaiting me
I care not where the far shores be
OF the waters that sparkle so bright and free
! leap from the strand.
And. in hand
I ride on the tide OF the mystic sea
I slip away from the cares OF day,
And silently drift away, away,
TIL dream clouds dense
Hide the shores OF sense.
And the land and the sky and the sea grow gray.
Now glldes my boat into darkness deep;
Now cease my their rhythmic sweep;
For full in view,
A fairy crew
Is spreading the shadowy sails OF sleep;

Hard Working Wealth.

Lord Rosebery's analysis of the linn
itations of wealth as a minister to its
owners happiness calls attention to
the truth that no man can in fact ,ake
to himself any considerable wealth in
the sense of monOpOlizing it to nis own
use and depriying others Of its bene-
fits
If man has money h must do
something with it. If he invests it in
farms it produces food for others than
himself. If in city property it pro-
vldes homes and places of business for
others, and furnishes work and wages
to many, If he puts it into Industries,
either as a stockholder or a buyer of
bonds, he sets it to work rendering a
service to the community and furnish
ing wages to wOrkmen, who in their
turn give support to the tradesmen of
whom they buy what they need If he
merely deposits it in bank, asking and
receiving no interest, he nevertheless
sets it to work for the public good, for
the bank lends it to men who will use
it productivity.
In other words, there is no such
thing as idle money in the world. ex-
cept when the infrequent miser buries
his hoard in the earth. There is no
such thing as the withdrawal of
wealth from employment in the SER
vice of mankind.-New York World.

RURAL DELIVERY.
Farmers Anxious that More Routes
Be Established.

About a year ago Assistant Postmas-
ter General Perry s. Heath chose his
home county in Indiana, Delaware, as
the place in which to make an expert
ment in free rural mail delivery The
route established here was a success
from the start. Now, inspired by the
success in this and other counties
where he has introduced it since. Mr..
Heath is about to attempt the scheme
on the largest plan yet contemplated.
Two entire congressional districts in
Indiana have been selected for the
field of experiment. They are the
abodes of populous and prosperous
farming communities. Agents of the
Postoflice Department have been over
the Delaware county route several
times, and probably have been overthe
others. for the purpose of making an
examination as to the cost of operating
the system as compared with the re
ceipts that accrue Their investiga-
INDlS warrant llCll pIHtNAiln NhNh lht
al delivery can be substituted in the
three districts at q saving of consider
able expense over the present system.
Every farmer and resident of the dis
tr'lct where the free delivery is made
can have his mail left at his door once
a day, corresponding collections being
taken, at less than tl.e present cost of
salaries to the fourth-class postmas-
ters, and of contract prices for carry
ing the mail pouches between the viii
lage and crossroads post offices The
saving, it is estimated, will amount to
several thousand dollarsi in each district
annually.
Mr. Heath thinks the route estab-
lished in the fairly well populated por-
t .ons of the state can be carried on
successfully, giving increased mail IA
cilities to the residents of the villages
and to the farmers, and at the same
time keeping down the expense ac-
count The route established in Della
ware county grows in favor every day.
Farmers about CASTOR, twelve miles
away, get their morning city papers
only about three hours after the arri-
val of these papers is made in Muncle.
The only reason that the farmers in
other parts of the county do NOT pc
tition the Post Office Department for
rural routes is that it is feared the pc
tition would not be needed on account
of the fact that the county already has
one route, where as many counties
nave none. 1t is Thought, also that the
authorities will want to give it more
thorough trial in other parts of the
state before increasing the system in
that part of Indlana.-Globe Democrat

Fastest Regular Run,

A remarkable run was made on the
B. & o. S, w. Saturday night by train
No. So, when this very fast train made
up twenty-five minutes between this
city and Chillicothe. The distance
travelled was 81 miles, and the running
time was 2 hours and eight minutes,
Including two stops. Nine minutes
Of this time was arbitrarily consumed

A DEAF MUTE GIRLS CURSE.
legged FuIGIlment-Pnrnly
Follows BLOW.

Theright foot of Edwin Parker Trent,
of Frankfort, Mo-, has become paralyzed
as Il result of tumor on the brain. The
tumor was caused by blow with n
hatchet, struck by Bertha Trent, his
deaf and dumb niece. The girl was
sent subsequently to an insane asylum.
Before starting she wrote the following
on her tablets:
81 wanted to kill him, but failed. !
hate him, and hope he viii die by
inches from creeping paralysis, begin
ming at his feet and working up to his
head"
Specialists who have studied the case
declare that Mr.. Trent has unwillingly
been of great benefit to science, as the
tumor has located beyond question the
exact spot where the sensor nerves from
the right foot connect with the brain.
While the doctors account for the pa
ralysis on scientific grounds, people in
the village believe that Mr.. Trent's NAL
ady is the beginning of creeping pa
ralysis, which has come to him through
the curse Of his niece.

Marietta Mothers Make IT, But with Lit

How carefully parents guard the Sc
crets of their boys and girls. At night
as they carefully tuck the bed clothes
around them they chide aud warn them
that they will be angry II they repeat
last nights ,offense, softly say ing to
themselves, it's only habit but we
must break them of H. This is the pa
rents mistake. The children cannot
help it, and sweet, clean dry beds, can
be tho resting place of every child when
it is understood that the cause is not a
habit, but weakness that can be cur
eli. Active life of tine little ones tend
TO weaken the kidneys, and weak kid
nets means inability to retain the urine
This IS condition, not habit, and
should have the fame prompt attention
you would give to the marked symp-
toms of any disease. One Doan's Kid7

no cause TO scold, for the so-called hab-

The Wheat OutlpOk.

At present the wheat situation is re-
ceivlng a great deal of attention
throughout the United States and Eu-
rope. Wheat counts for less in the
national wealth than corn, but still II
Is crop which has great influence on
the business conditions of the country.
Winter wheat has been damaged to a
considerable extent by the cold wealth.
er OF January and February. The late
ness OF the season has interfered with
the spring wheat, but this part of the
general wheat product is expected to
fot up huge figures The total crop
will be far below last years unparal-
leled yield, however.
The latest crop report from the De
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton shows a condition slightly below
the average of the past few years. But
1t has been noticed that the govern
ment's estimates are always below
those of the most reliable private au-
thorities. In the final reports, too,
which the overnment gives out five or
six months after the crop is harvested
an advance is usually made on the
earlier estimates. The most careful
estimates of most reliable authorities
place the probable crop of wheat of
1899 at from 525,O0O0O to $4,000, 900
bushels. This would be a larer yield
than any country ever had except in
1891, when 1t was $4,000, 900 bushels,
and in 1898, when it fotted up 675, 5,0O0,
900 bushels. If the smaller of these
estimates, 25,OOO,OOO bushels, be re-
allied there will be no cause for com
plant.
One OF the reasons for the great bal
ance of trade in favor of the United
States in the past two years has been
the large crops in this country and the
small crops abroad. The American
farmer had heavy yield TO sell, and
the demand for it was so great that he
got fair prices for all of it, This has
been an important factor in the indus
trial revival Usually when the farm
er has propserity the country has good
times. In the past twelve months
the farmer has had better fortune than
he has had in any previous years of
the decade. Farm mortgages have
been paid off more rapidly in the past
year and half than at any other time
since the days OF great industrial ex-
panSiOn Immediately following the re-
r sumption OF gold payments by the
government under the Republican act
- of 1876, which went into operation in
= 1879. # the wheat and corn crop is an
average yield this year, or little over
the"aVeRaige, the good time of the
farmer will continue, and the balance of
trade will remain in favor of the Unit
ed States. The present indications are
that .me wheat crop will be as large as
it was in 1897 when 1t reached the
$50, 700, 900 mark, line never prevl-
Ously touched except in 1891. 1t is too
early of course, for estimates to be
made as to the corn crop which would

Enter Automobile Exit DObbin.

1t is now demonstrated that an au
tomobile vehicle can be driven over
long distances and all sorts of roads
at an average speed Of fifteen miles an
hour, and over good roads at speed
greater than that Of the fastest freight
trains.
II is also demonstrated that this
work can be done at power cost so
small as to be scarcely calculable One
dollar has furnished the power neces-
sary to make a journey Of 7O7 miles.
This is less than 1t would cost to feed
and care for a pair of wagon horses
for a single day.
Can there be doubt that the automo-
biles are presently to take the place of
farm wagons, to the incalculable ad-
vantage of the farmer? The first cost
of course is much greater than that of
a wagon and team But so is the first
cost of a reaper greater than that of
many "cradles"-the first cost of a
steam threshing machine greater than
that of a barn full OF fails. Yet the
farmer who in these matters has not
availed himself of the advantages of
invention is indeed retrograde,
TIE city the automobile prom
ises even greater benefits 1t will re-
duce the cost of street cleaning by one
half,cheapen hauling of every kind and
save millions in pavement wear.
1t may take some time to realize this
reform in its fullness, principally he
cause invention has still much to do
in perfecting the new application of
power. But the result is as inevitable
as was the Punishment of the horse car

ADOPTS HIS OWN CHILD.
Process which Hnd 70 lie Resorted to
by Father to Obtain Legal Gus
tody Of IIis Dhnghter.

A father adopted his own child in
Judge Steele's court in Denver when
Jncobena Alice Mary Reich was made
the legally adopted child of Louis Lars
Fardig and his wife, Mary. The petit
ton says. that Fardig's first wife de-
serted him shortly after the child was
born aud departed for parts unknown.
He then permitted his sister by adop-
tlon, Maggie Reich, and her husband,
Frank, to adopt the child and give her
their name. Fardig secured u divorce
in 1906, In 1897 his adopted sister died.
Fnrdig married again lust August, and
since then the child has been with
them. Reich also remarked, and his
wife and he are about to move to Ore
gon. The legal custody of JacobCna be-
longs to Reich. Fardig found it nee
essary to take legal steps to obtain the
right to call his own child daughter.
The proceedings were entirely ami
cable. The decree was granted and the
child, who is about ten years old, will
hereafter be known as Jacobena Ella
Fardlg.

Glass As Building Material.

Consul Warner writes from Leipslc,
April 26, 1899:
Under the name of 'keramo' a new
building material composed principal
ly of glass and manufactured at PEN
zig, Silesia, has been placed on the
market. AS far as known this mater
ial is made from powdered glass waste
which is hardened by special dewitt
rifying process and combined by
means Of strong pressure.
I'm this way the transparency, brit
tleness and fragillty of the glass are
destroyed, but other prominent prop
ties-extraordlnary hardness, stabil-
ity against exposure to the weather,
nOn-conduction of heat, nOn-infiama-
bility, insensibillty 10 oil, grease, acids
etc.-are retained in tb4s new material
''Keramo can be used for wainscoat-
ings in the interiors of buildings, for
covering floors, in houses, kitchens,
wash rooms, Verandas, balconies, etc,
for rough casting of walls exposed to
the weather, as well as for staircases
which are to be ireproof The color
depends upon the color OF thr glass
used in the manufacture. The price OF
keramO is about &l.6O per square yard.
and so far the trials which have been
made with this product have been
