WHEN HE FELT FAMOUS.

Senator Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver.
who recently took the seal in the
United States senate made vacant by
the death of General Gear of Iowa. is
noted for his keen sense of humor. He
can tell story with wonderful effect.
His keen sense of humor would have
made him a comedian If nature had
not cast his other faculties in a more
serious mold. Therefore his fun only
crops out at times. When asked him
when and where he first began to con-
slider himself famous he said: "My
first term in congress gave me my first
sense of exaltation. The people I'D In
the Iowa hills had little lake aEd
they named 1t after me. Then a NV
postofi1ce was named In my honor nd

The German army has furnished an
other terrible illustration of what duel
ing means. An infantry captain pres
ent at an officers dinner took offense
at the innocent but rough horse-play
of an army surgeon, and struck him.
He then retired to his quarters. In a
little while two officers representing
the surgeon appeared with challenge.
Before they could deliver it brother
of the surgeon entered and shot the
captain dead. His excuse was that he
sacrificed himself to save his brother,
the surgeon, who had a wife and chill
dren, and could hardly hope to sur
vive a duel with the offended captain,
a noted pistol-shot. Such an incident
must come home with peculiar force
to the emperor, who has frankly COM
mended dueling in the army as the
proper way for soldier to protect his
honor"

A college professor, reading Lord
Rayleighs Theory of Sound" a few
years ago, became particularly inter-
ested in that part which relates to the
vibration of cords. He began to study
the waves which travel along cord
when one end is shaken. and then to
experiment with cords loaded at in
tervals with weights, and vibrating in
air or water. What could he hope to
learn from such Investigations? What
practical results were to be looked for?
He could not tell, nor could any one
else have told. Yet he studied the sub
ject for five years. The facts he dis
covered make it probable that tele-
phone communication may take place
under three thousand miles of sea, and
the professor has sold his invention for
half million dollars.

Painting.

Painting may be the result of shock,
excitement, or severe pain in school.
The action of the heart is suspended
momentarily or diminished greatly.
The symptoms are: Faint, shallow
and signing breathing, peculiar
blanched face, feeble pulse, the person
falling to the ground motionless. The
person should be placed fiat on the
back, with no support under the head.
Those not in immediate attendance
should keep at distance, and fresh
air should be admitted freely. The
clothing should be loosened about the
neck and waist, the face should be
famed and respiration should be
stimulated by Tipping a few drops of
cold water on the face and chest. The
bare chest and arms may also be
slapped with wet towel. Smelling
salts may be held cautiously under the
nose, or few grains Of pepper blown
into the nostrils. Smoke from brown
paper or tobacco blown into the face
will also revive the person from the
fit, though care should be used in this
last remedy.

SPOKE A STRANGE TONGUE.

From the New York Sun: Little
John winthrop Pork Bennington OF
Boston spoke English perfectly, as was
to be expected, and had speaking ac-
quaintance with all the continental
languages as well as smattering OF
Arabic, Hindustani, Tagalog, Mon
goose, Chinese, Ibex, Conshohecken'
Bungalow and a number of dialects,
but he was up against it hard, as one
would not say in Boston, when he
heard two New York grown persons
talking one day while he was taking
the air in the public garden of his ma
tive city. He listened in speechless
amazement at first. and later in studl-
Gus contemplation, and what follows
is all he could get out of it. 1t is not
positively known that the speakers
were New Workers, but John thought
they were because they were so unlike
Bostonians.
Hoo zee?" said one, nodding toward
man who had passed by.
"Givva tup," replied the other.
"Jou spoze heez zennybody?"

"Booze'n' brainzer pards; n Bawst'n

"Ura wise guy"
"Butta amt Bawst'n. Waitplie

The speaker walked over and spoke
to the boy.
Say, bub," he said, "whairkn we

"At the fountain yonder, sir" re-
piled John Winthrop, suppressing his
anger at being called "bub."
"Aw, whatter you givvinus?" pro-
tested the inquirer.

you may secure the drink for which
you have inquired" replied the aston
ished Bostonian.
"Tain't that kinduv wet werrafter,"
explained the stranger.
"Is it alcoholic?" asked John Win
throp, with rare acumen
"Thatsit," said the delighted seeker
for moisture. "Whairz the boozery?"
The boy told the man to inquire of
one Of the garden guardians and the
man went back to his companion.
"Duzzy know whairtherza placer"
inquired the man waiting
"Dunnoaffy duzzernot Talks some

the two strangers went off on their

A recent importation of foreigners
against which no one will be likely to
take exceptions, except, perhaps, the
natives they have come to destroy, has
been graciously received and welcomed
by the quarantine officer of the Cali
fornia State Board Of Agriculture at
San Francisco. The newcomers are a
consignment of taehina flies from
the grasshopper tribe-their wholesale
exterminators, in fact, wherever found.
They came as cold storage passengers
and with them came large number of
ladybugs, for service in clearing the
orchards of red scale-the pest of fruit
growers. The flies are to be released
in May. They will make short work
of the grasshoppers, which swarm at
that time.

STILL A CENTURY BEHIND,
Filipinos Only Beginning to Understand
Present Day Customs.

Present Day Customs.
Things of the nineteenth century
have hardly been known in the Phil
ippine islands until very recently. The
people there got along with eighteenth
century methods and materials until
American occupation made them real
ize that the twentieth century was
here. While living over rivers Of oil
they had a scanty supply imported
from Russia. Now wells have been
sunk and the natives are getting a
little light on their former Ignorance.
Ships are landing on the islands ma
chinery that truly astonishes the ma
tives. Where they have been scratch
ing the soil to raise poor crops they
are now plowing deep burrows and
getting something near the value of
productive soil. Edged tools without
edges and with temper uncertain as
that of Spaniard have been set aside
for axes, picks, chisels, drills, saws and
shovels that mean much more and bet
ter work with less expenditure of hu-
ances that boasted of the name tools"
are being replaced by the very best
instruments of labor known to our
highest civilization. Steam power in
it's most perfect forms is being ap-
piled where it was no more known
than it was with us century ago. The
people are learning for the first time
that the hills can be cut down and val
leys filled up to make roads more level,
so that larger loads can be hauled with
much less effort than before. The
steam shovel that with one motion OF
its iron jaws takes up more material
than dozen natives could shovel out
in an entire day is an object of abso-
lutte wonder In fact, the Filipinos are
only beginning to learn that the world
has been actually moving since Ma
gellan landed on their shores and gave
them the name Of robbers. Chicago

EyERYDAYs THAT COUNT.

The course of life is a thousand
trlfes-then some crisis-and again
a thousand trifles and a crisis, moth
ing but green leaves under crimson
sun and shadow, and then storm or
a rare June day. And far more than
the storm or the perfect day the COM
mon sun and shadow do to make the
autumn rich. 1t is the everydays that
count. They must be made to tell or
the years have failed.-William Chan

The recent appointment Of General
Chaffee as major-general is the first
instance of a private attaining that
rank in the regular army of the Unit

stamps and coins of the new reign OF
Italy are to be issued in a few days.
There will be three coins of gold, three
Of silver and two Of copper. The king's
ofigy is given in profile--turned to
right and left, respectively, on the sill
yer and gold coins, and the Eagle Of
Savoy adorns the exargue. The de-
nign for the stamps is handsomely
fioriated, and the king is represented

Takes Heavyweight Honors.

A full-grown whale weighs 100 tons,
or 224,000 pounds. That is to say a
whale weighs as much as about 80
elephants or bears. OF course some run
larger than this. There are tales
among old whalers of whales ITO feet
long, and weighing at least $50 tons.
But such are not seen in these days.
A 70-foot whale is big one now.
Still, it may give some idea of what
monsters are occasionally killed when
we mention that ton of oil has been
extracted from the tongue OF a single
whale

One of the most prominent Baptist
preachers in the vicinity of New York
has made it practice in all his pas
torates to write his resignation within
a week of his entrance upon a new
field, sign, seal and deliver it to the
proper official with the remark:
There, now! Never ask me for my
resignation. Whenever you want me
to go just break open the envelope,
write in a date to the document and

The name Of Sing Sing. SO far az
the New York village is concerned, IL
no more, having been changed to
Osining. Manufacturers brought about
this change, the impression having
gone abroad that all goods turned out
in the village were prison-made. The
village showed a decrease in the last
census of 1913 in population, though
neighboring places showed uniform in
crease. Sing Sing was incorporated
IN 1913 and the prison was erected
eieven years later. The prison is still
Wtthin the village boundary lines.

President Schwab, Of the Carnegie

Pennsylvania Dutchman.' These
sturdy and thrifty Pennsylvanians are
what the Beers of the Transvaal might
become in more favorable environ

hardy, and are possessed of most of
the civic virtues. Their conservatism
has kept their language intact and

Northern Indiana farmers are ex-

quail. During the winter the birds are
fed regularly, and on some Of the farms
they have become so tame that they
roost with the barnyard fowls.
