The discovery OF immensely rich
oil fields in Texas, California and
and other southwestern states bids
fair to accomplish revolution in the
manner OF heating buildings, and for
the generation OF steam as a motive
force. One railway company has al
ready ordered a change in it's loco
motives so as to permit the burning
of soil instead of coal, and many
steamships are introducing oil as fuel
doing away with their heavy coal
bunkers, thus increasing the carrying
capacity and saving in running ex-
penses. A company has been organ

far as records go, are Mrs. J. w. Mar
tinez Cardeza and Susan de Forest
Day-Parker. The former owns the
steam yacht <<Eleanor,'' whose lines
are familiar to port ward lens and pilots
the world over. It is an ideal yacht Of
the largest size, betting 23S feet over
all, 80 feet beam and Is draft. Mrs.
Cardeza's favorite cruise is from Phil
adelphia or New York to Newfound-
land, where she has hunting lodgein

Twill be time soon for one or more
big powers to interfere in the British
Boer war, in the name OF humanity.
Kitchener's concentrate camps are
no better than Weyler's. The suffer-
ing OF women and children in these
camps is appalling. 1t is reported
that out OF 62,479 Beers confined in
these camps in the Transvaal district,
1467 died in July, and among them
being $50 below - years Of age. It
is surprising how much these people
will suffer for the sake OF liberty, and
independence. If there isnota change
soon, the bleeding Beers may arouse

ALI NoUR1 BEY, former Turkish
consul in Rotterdam, declares that
the massacre of Armenians by
Kurds, which has just recommended,
is part of a regular system of exter-
mination. He says: "The number
OF Armenians killed will depend upon
the outcry raised in Europe and the
pressure brought to bear upon the
sultan. The same horrible process
will be repeated year by year until
all are killed." Is it not about time
that the Powers made combined
effort to put a stop to the atrocities
OF this inhuman government? Mil
lions OF dollars and hundreds of lives
were sacrificed in Furnishing the Chi
nese for killing a few missionaries,
but not a hand is turned against
the murders of thousands OF inno-
cent Armenians for no reason but
that they are Christians. The Arme-
mans are a peaceable people and
are being exterminated by the Turks
without protest from powers who
claim to be Christian.

A MANUFACTURER of farm machinery
told gathering of farmers that if he
treated the machinery in his factory
as they treated that which he made
for them, he would soon be bank
rupt. The waste involved in leaving
implements exposed to the weather
accounts for much of that which is
classed as agricultural loss. In i'm
mense establishments, or in large
business enterprises the operations of
which extend over a wide territory,
what might be called petty economies
are followed. Minute care for slight
"details make an important difference
in dividends. The managers cannot
afford to be wasteful. The extrava-
:gance of the Individual is often in
violent contrast with corporate pru-
'dence.-Youth's Companion.

The social liberties of the American
child are one of the evils of this coun-
try. Children's dances and chill
dren's parties, once given in the after
noon, have intruded into the evening,
and are sending thousands of our
children to their beds in state of
excitement which means no good for
their future. It stands to reason that
no child can, with his or her un-
formed strength, burn the candle at
both ends.-September Ladies' Home

DURING the famous Douglas and
Lincoln debate and subsequent cam:
paigns the point was frequently
brought out by The supporters OF
"the Little Giant that Mr.. Lincoln
had served only a single term in
Congress, but that Senator Douglas
had enjoyed for years d national
reputation. This point, says a writ
er in Lippincott's, was urged in a
heated discussion between an ardent
supporter Of Douglas and German
voter who favored Lincoln. Finally
the former, thinking to overwhelm
his opponent, said: 'sWho is this
Lincoln, anyhow? Nobody ever
heard of him until Senator Douglas
brought him into notice by holding
a joint debate with him. Senator
Douglas, on the other hand, is a
great statesman. Why, he has had
his eye on the presidential chair for
the last ten years!'' "Vot is dot you
say?'' was the reply. "You say Mees-
ter Doeglas have hat his eye on der

that is just what said" "Vell, you

After the Great Swamp massacres and the flight of King Philip. sachem of Pokanoket. there was peace in the Narrangansett country. New settlers began to shit down from Plymouth and Massachusetts Ray, and old ones felt novel assarance of safety in re- moving their families to more desira- ble sites among the beautiful lakes of the interior hill country.
 Two years before, Allison Tucker had built cabin on th eeast side of the Tower Hill, and since then had alter hated the time he could spare from watching the Indians between hunting and fishing. Now he removed to Wanchang Pond and erected | com modious cabin on a slope overlooking that fine sheet of water, and pegia to clear land and prepare for rlanting. Tn this he, was assisted by his 'hree grown-up daughters who were a:nncst his equal in strength and woodcfaft.
