LARGE IRON CASTINGS
Moore bros. Turn Out the Largest

Moore Brothers. the iron founders, have
just completed TWO OF the largest cast
ings ever made in Wichita or the west,
perhaps. The castings consist of two iron
lintels. each twenty-three feet in length,
which are 10 be shipped 10 Guthrie, .. T.
The largest lntels ever cast here before
were only ten feet in length, and spliced
in order 10 reach the required length. In
order TO make these long linjels the work
men had to make three different taps"
as the furnace was only large enough 10
hold 500 pounds OF iron at a time. and
rendered the job very difficult. Another
great trouble was in keeping the long
pieces straight while casting. Il is, how
ever. an excellent job. Moore Brothers
are having more orders than they can
ill this year.

Thoughts of a Dying Man.

For many weeks have been confined
at home, from which it is probable /
shall never-leave as living man, jrdg-
ing from the conclusions of a consulta-
tion of physicians, who have considered
my case.
The thoughts upon immortality by
the same man when IN normal health or
at the eve of dissolution, have expert
enced to be entirely dissimilar. In the
first condition he speculates, analyzes,
criticises or rel els. In the second he is
content to leave the subject to the Su-
preme Originator aud approach the end
without dissent and in a humble spirit.
His belief may be the result of instinct,
education or reason. 1t matters little
at that stage. The general opinion
comedies Universal Power of prodigal
bemgnity. That seems now sufficient
for me. "Perfect love casteth out fear"
The Power Superb in benevolence as
manifested in Its works, loves us and
should dissipate our fears. If we re-
ciprocate that love by obedience to com
mon sense dictates and kindliness to-
ward our fellows, we worship in act, if
not in words, and, with this conscious.
ness of duty performed, our fears should
be dissipated.
The daily habit throughout life OF the
contemplation of ones own death must
have salutary effect upon the moral
actions of individuals, and as great
change appears it can be entertained as
an expected and tolerable, if not an en-
tirely welcome visitor. The universal
harmony which prevails in the mater
ial world seems but q glimpse, yet guar
antee of the celestial prospect guided
and adorned by the Ever Presence.
This faith should suffice for many as
for me, and is my attitude toward my
approaching end.
For the rest to come to me,
For the hidden truth to see
am waiting.
For sky OF silver bright.
For realm that has no night.
For the source Of Natures light,
am waiting.
For tue Voice to say tome.
"I have seen and strengthened thee."
am waiting.
"Thy earthly course thou now hast run,
Thou hastwell the victory won,
| And to thee say, now come;

Business opportunit,es.

The b. G. r. N. Ry. is constructing
new line north and west from Worth
ington, Minn., to the west line of the
state, which will be completed within
the year. Ths country through which
the line passes is the best in southwest
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by we'll
to-do farmers who have been going fif-
teen and twenty miles to market. Ar
rangements have been made to lay out
towns at the most advantageous loca-
tions for business. These towns will
need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will find favorable openings
on this new line. Doctors and profes-
sional men will also find good locations.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Estherville, la
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opportuni
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will, as they
have always done, join with the business
men of their towns to build up centerl
of trade.

Simple Method of Measuring Lighr

Simple Method of Measuring Light.
In these days, when popular know
ledge of electrical subjects is undergo
ing quite an appreciable extension,
many people are desirous of simple
method of measuring the lighting
power of a flame. The question how
many candle power lamp has can be
settled without any great difficulty.
The surest results are obtained by
means of a grease spot. In its most
simple application the experiment can
be tried easily at home. A sheet of
white paper, with grease spot in the
center, is put into frame and placed
between two flames of different light
ing power-for instance, between an or
dinary stearine candle and a kerosene
lamp. When the frame is equally dis
tant from the two unequally bright
flames the grease spot can be seen plainly
on both sides. BY moving the frames
with the sheet of paper slowly toward
the less bright light-that is, the stear-
inc csndle-it will arrive at a point
where the grease spot has apparently
disappeared on both sides of the paper.
This illusion always exists when an
equal lighting power prevails on both
sides of the paper, and there is no side
light. This is the point at which to de-
termlne how much stronger is the light
of the lamp than that of the candle. If
the candle is twenty inches from the
paper, and the lamp sixty inches, and
yet both sides of the paper are equally
bright, the light of the lamp will be as
strong as that of nine candles. The
calculation is based upon the distances,
the Figures of which are multiplied by
themselves and then divided. In thil
case, for instance, 60 multiplied by 60
divided by 90 multiplied by 20, equals
! This of course, is very crude method
but it embodies the principle utilized il
. the delicate measurements of the labor
atories. The grease spot always re
!, mains the base of the modern instru
! ments for measuring light, whether
5 is replaced by milk, glass. or it appear
: as an ideal grease spot in the place o
J. an uncovered point of the mirror. Th
unit for measuring light is now the 81
g called Hefner candle. This candle COZ

1t has hitherto been held generally
that the man who has read about tile
subject matter of trial in court is dis
qualified to act as juror in it. Three
states, Massachusetts, Kansas and Ten
nessee have now come to the conclusion
that this rule should be set aside, and
that previous knowledge OF suit need
not bar man from place on a jury,
but that general honesty and intelli-
gence shall be the chief requirements of
that office. If the standard of intelli-
gence in jurymen can be raised to q
point that will command respect and
establish confidence that justice will
be speedy and certain, lawlessness will
decrease proportlonately, and there will
be fewer lynchings which disgrace so
many states.

To high and low and great and s,nall.'
And SO he b-ayely started ont.
His heart WIS strong, his spirit bold.

God broke our years to hours and days that
Hour by hour
And day by day,
Just going on little way
We might be able all along,
To keep quite strong.
Should all the weight of life
Be laid across our shoulders, and the future,
rife
With woe and struggle meet us face to face
At just one place,
We could not go;
Our feet would stop, and so
God lays little on us every day,
And never, believe, on all the way

Or pathways lie so steep
But we can go II. by Goes power,
