PRICES BOUND UP.
Large Demand for Corned and Roast
Beef by FOREIGN Powers.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2S.-The Record
says: Prices on corned and roast beef
have advanced from 81 % to 1.50 per
dozen for one-pound cans. This is the
largest advance ever made by Chicago
and Western packers at one jump. The
cause of the advance is the large demand
for these goods by the United States
government and foreign powers.
One of the big packers, in speaking
mand for corned and roast beef increases
during the next two weeks as it has in
the last two weeks, you will see corneG
and roast beef selling at 50 per dozen
one-pound cans. Why, every packer in
Chicago is working his plant to its fullest
capacity and even then cannot begin to
meet the demand.

He notified Justice Murray of Athens,
who obtained a marriage license. and the
couple were united in the waiting room

A NEW PLAN.
Extra Speed ON Our Battleships to
BE Attained by the Use Of
Triple Screws.

The naval engineers have projected
plans for the new battleships which, If
adopted, will provide an entirely novel
type for the navy. The purpose is to
have these ships combine in themselves
the good qualities Of battleships and
armored cruisers.
The aim will be to have the highest
possible speed for such ships, in this
case 20 knots per hour. This will be
attained by the use of triple screws, two
small side screws for use in ordinary
cruising, and a big central screw to add
to the %propulsiye force in case high
speed is needed.
The ships would be of $4,000 or Is, 900
tons displacement, and with seven
inches of the latest armor would be al
most as strong in defense as a regular
battleship. The coal capacity would be
about 1000 tons, sufficient at ordinary
cruising speed to carry the ship 10000
or $4,000 miles.

Two About the Useful
Faculty.

There is a good deal of pure moon
shine," said a New Orleans war horse
now out Of harness, "in the faculty Of
remembering names and faces which Is
attributed to most successful politi-
clans. In nine cases out of ten they
have no abnormal powers of that kind,
and their apparent feats of memory
are very easily explained.
Take, for example, the case of q po-
litical parsonage at a public reception.
He is sure to be surrounded by o group
of local leaders, who know everybody
in town. Presently a valuable constit-
uent approaches. Colonel whispers
one of the henchmen, here comes Mr..
Blank. He's an active party worker
and a great admirer of yours. He met
you here last fall The parsonage
catches on promptly. What does Blank
do?' he whispers back. He's a produce
merchant replies the henchman. BY
that time the valuable constituents get
in range. How are y, my dear Mr..
Blank!' exclaims the notable, cordially,
I'm delighted to see you again; and
how is the produce business coming
on" Poor Blank has the spasm Of Joy.
That the famous mar should remember
him so accurately makes him as proud
as a peacock, and 20 spectators proceed
to tell the story in proof of the %colonel's
miraculous mental gifts. Thus reputa-
tions are made.
II use this illustration because such
incidents are the commonest things in
the world. I have witnessed hundreds
of them and happen to know that the
fame of more than n big man for the
retention of names and faces rests
wholly upon little remedies of that
~character."

A movement is said to be on foot
among the people of the state of ANA
zonas to secede from Brazil and estab-
hsh a separate republic. Amazonas is
said to be the only state in Brazil which
has any money, and its inhabitants
have grown tired of s%houldering the
financial burdens ofthe whole republic.
But before making such q venture they
should read up history In order to learn
that secession movements do not pay.
In their case it probably would not pay
even should it succeed. Because it is
the biggest nation in South America
Brazil is one of the strongest, and were
1t to be broken up into petty states none
OF those states would possess strength
to live in the international contest for
the Survival of the fittest."

way of making their stock look
fresh. Some men color the gills of
the fish in order to sell them.-Er
