HOW FRIENDS WILL VOTE.


Claimed They Will Withdraw support
From Republicans.
Indianapolis News: al think that
with few exceptions the members of
the Friends Society in this state will
vote the Prohibition ticket this year"
said John j Rockford, democrat. "Of
course, there are bound to be exceptions,
but the rule Is going to hold good.
Mark my word"
Mr.. Rockford has just returned from
sojourn in Morgan county, near Mon
rovia. where there is large settlement
of Friends. He reports that practically
every voter in that section has an
nOunced his intention of voting the
Prohibition ticket. This position lie
not taken by the Friends on account of
President Mckinley's attitude toward
the canteer, but there is widespread
feeling among the society that the
present administration fsvors carrying
on warfare. The Friends, Mr.. Roch-
ford asserts, sbhor war, and, while they
do not feel that they can support Mr..
Bryan, they will withdraw their support
from the republican ticket entirely.
1t is reported in political circles that
the Friends settlements in Wayne
county and IN the Sand Creek district
of Bartholomew county have assumed
the same attitude in the present cam
paign.

To shorten school Hours.

In many places over the state there is
a growing sentiment in favor of fewer
hours for children. Many authorities
think it is harmful for children to 90
to school for eight or nine months and
spend so many hours daily In the
schoolroom. This applies especially to
the younger pupils in the first three or
four years of school. 1t is claimed
many children are unable to stand the
long sessions and their health is often
permanently injured The short hour
plan prevails IN Plymouth.

THE HUMAN MACHINE.
some Interesting Statistics - 40 the
Amount of work n Mans
Does.

The human body is the most econom-
ical machine in the world Il takes in
about s ID pounds Of food a day in the
shape Of water, oxygen aud solids.
This food gives man his power OF do
ing work. It gives the strength for
bodily, muscular and mental work, says
the New York World.
The heart does 120 foot tons Of work
in "a hours. IL the full work OF the
heart for that period could be gath
cred into one big lift 1t would raise
1870 tons weight one foot high. The
muscles OF breathing do 81 foot tons
work per day.
The work of the whole body in it's
actions for "a hours amounts to about
3,4Oo foot tons.
This enormous working power Is de-
veloped from food in "a hours. Over
1900 foot tons go to produce heat,
which is a mode Of motion and is neces-
sary for every vital process. The re-
mainder represents mans actual
muscular and mental work.
1t must be remembered that 1000
foot tons about represent the force
which would raise a man Of average
weight eight and one-half niles height.
Man has never succeeded in making any
engine that could compare with the en-
gineer's own body in developing a rela-
lively large amount OF energy on a very
small consumption of fuel or food.

LIGHTNING KILLS WILD BoARs
Five ont of Six Imported from the
Black Forest Struck Together
in Pike County.

Five of six wild bears imported from
the Black Forest in Germany al cost
of slo8 each were lately killed by light
ming at Porter's Lake, Pike county, Pa
They were brought over by Weissbrod
& Hess. OF Philadelphia and were in
tended for breeding purposes. and 1t
was proposed to turn their young loose
in the forest. reports the New York
Sun.
The animals had only just arrived
and were still in their boxes. which
were piled under tree. When the
storm was at its height bolt descend
ed. striking the tree and running down
Il to the animals. One in box on top
of the others escaped. but those below
were instantly killed. 1t is said their
places will be supplied by other imPor-
tations.
The propagation Of wild boars in this
region is not a new experiment Some
wears ago Otto Plock. wealthy broker
of New York and London. whose sum
mer home was on the west side of the
Shawangunk mountain. not far from
Port Jervis. turned out several wild
boars in his mountain park. For time
they thrived until at last they broke
through the Enclosure and committed
depredations on the neighboring
farms. The farmers turned out with
dogs and guns. but were never able to
capture any OF them. They were hunt
ed day and night. They finally took up
their abode in Sullivan county. where
hunters tried in vain to kin them.
Judge Y. II. Crane, Of this place, broth
er of the late Stephen Crane. was the
only person who successfully brought
down one of these wild boars. What has
become of the remainder Of the ami
mails is a mystery. as they have disap-
peared. II is believed they all died.

NEW KINK IN COPYRIGHT.
Ho" an English Picture Sold TO One
Man and the Copyright to
Another.

People who concern themselves with
artistic copyright would 10 well to con-
slider a case that came under my notice
the other day. says a writer in the
London Graphic. \ picturI was sold to
4 Mr.. A. and the copyright to a Mr..
b. AT the close of the exhibition of
the Royal Academy the picture was
sent to Mr.. a., who paid for the pic
ture. and at the same time Mr.. B. paid
for the copyright. After time Mr..
u. applied for the loan OF the picture
in order to have it engraved; but Mr..
\. absolutely declined to lend the
picture on any terms whatever. He ac-
knowledged that he did not possess the
copyright, and said that he did not
want it, but he was not such a fool as
10 give good round sum for a work Of
art in order that he might lend IL to
other people. he said he bought it to
look at, and he was not going 10 have
1t taken away from his gallery for n
year in order that other people might
make money out oft. When you come
TO think OF ii. he had a good deal OF
reason ON his side. and yet II was very
hard on the owner OF ths copyright and
the artist. who would have obtained
consi6erablepublieity from the enQrav-
ing. Probably the fault was with the
artist, when selling the picture, in not
reserying the right of reasonable ac-
cess to the picture for the purpose of
engraving; then the purchaser would
know exactly how he stood.
