Ing. There are 16, 400 quarts of them,
constituting carload which arrived
from Missouri and were promptly dis
played for the admiration of visitors.
Every berry was perfect. They were
equally large, whether found on top,
bottom or middle of the box. Missouri
berries evidently have never learned
the savage strife peculiar to Eastern
fruits, whereby the few largest reach
the top and the many smallest the bot
tom.
The exhibit was collected by Com
missioner Charles c. Bell, who re-
turned from Missouri on Sunday to
make arrangements for receiving the
berries. They were grown by IL ex-
hibitors belonging to the Monnet-
Berry Growers Association. The va
rieties include the Warield, Grandy.

was the demand for berries in the

Of Hon. j. w. Ashley on building q Sol
dter's Home, desire to say that agree
with him In his opinion. It will not be
long until we old soldiers will have an
swered our last roll call. What wish to
call the attention Of our Representatives
to Is to certain old soldiers who are now
denied pension, and who ct the same

who are on the pension rol).
A veterans name was taken from the
roll thi" year because he had bought q

has not paid anything on it. The interest
on the money will be as much as the rent
was. Now, is he not as much entitled
to pensiod as he was before he bargain.

one OF whom Is over 60 years of age and

other widow has few household goods

years old and cannot draw q pension.
Which one naadR 1t tha mnni?
l know another veteran over sixty
years OF age, whose wife has piece Of
land with u heavy mortgage upon 1t.
They do not live on the land, but have il
rented, and creditors get the rent for in

children, as he is not able TO do but little
labor, having been and Is partially para.

not draw pension. Is he MT fit sub

interest In q farm. It all went we'll SO

II you climb a mountain, your height
decreases by three-quarters of an inch,
and it may even diminish, exceptional
ly, by full inch.
This is a fact known to all expert
enced mountain and Alpine climbers.
On reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents of holi-
day makers in the Alpine districts the
stature of the climber is found to have
become less to the extent already men,
toned.
Doctors think that the attitude as
sumed Of necessity in ascending Is the
cause Of this diminution. Some per-
sons believe that the pressure of the at
mosphere produces this shrinking. In
favor of the medical theory there Is the
other unquestionable fact that the de-
crease of stature is greater in those
who carry "A heavy pack during the
climb.
When the Alpinist has descended to
the ordinary level, his height begins to
increase, but the normal length Of the
body is not attained until several hours
after reaching the regular surface Of
the earth.

Kinu of Virginia.

Apropos of the British royal titles a
reference to colonial possessions ap-
peared in an English sovereign's des-
ignation so long ago as the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser
dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza
beth, and then he described her as
queen of England, France and Ireland
and sovereign of the Dominion of Yir-
ginia." 1t may also be remembered
that the Nirginians refused to acknowl-
edge Oliver Cromwell's protcctorate un-
til he sent fleet to compel them to
do so. Charles H., in return expression
of the colonists' loyalty, had himself
proclaimed in Virginia on his restora-
tion as liking of Great Britain, Ireland
and Virginia" The further statement
has been made that Charles caused the
arms of Virginia to be quartered with
those of England, Ireland and Scot
land. Certain it is that they appear so
on English coins struck as late as 1773
by order of George III.-Liverpool
Post.

Ten and Coffee.

England and Russia are the two chief
tea drinking countries of Europe, and
the partiality of the Russians for tea
is shown by the fact that, while the
consumption of coffee in that empire
is less than it was four years ago, the
consumption of tea has triplcd during
that period. Germany and France are
the chief coffee drinking countries Of
Europe, and in the United States, in
which usually tea has been a more
popular beverage in the country and
coffee in the urban districts, the in
crcasing popularity of the latter has
been affecting adversely the importa-
ton of tea into the United States.
Tea drinking in the United States is
certainly not on the increase, and cof
fee drinking certainly is.

InsnnitY Among Women.

Professor Inner of Berlin leading
specialist in mental diseases, has been
Investigating the causes of insanity
among women and has come to the
conclusion that If women are admitted
into competition with men the inevita-
BILE result will be a tremendous in
crease Of insanity among women. He
finds that the percentage of women
teachers who become insane is almost
double that Of men teachers. Inquir-
les were also made about women en-
ployed as telegraphers, sales clerks and
in the telephone service and, further
more. with regard to women engaged
in the Swiss matchmaking trade. These
inquiries showed that in the occupa-
tions mentioned a far larger proper
tiou of women than men succumb to
mental disorder.

Captain Charley Barr, the skipper Of

that nothing but blue eyes ever makes

unto swarthiness, has pair of keen
black eyes that have landed the Co
lumbia to windward of her rivals about
every time she tried to get that ad-
vantageous position. Recently, when
asked how he managed to land his boat
to windward with such surprising reg
ularity, Captain Barr said:
That's an easy trick. My jockeying
begins long before the other boat is in
sight. l get out first. | know from
where the other fellow is going to
come, and | know approximately the
starting line. What more does any man
want? | get to windward of where
my opponent must appear, and after
that, no matter to where | sail. that

Of purpose that was necessary in the
early SOS for the preservation OF the
nation is essential today to preserve
the integrity of our city. l do not re-
call a campaign in 30 years in which
the citizens Of Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania presented such a united front
against a debauched and disgraceful
rule as they do today.
THE mon who are in power today
have an absolute disregard for the con-
stitution, upon which all legislation is
based. Instead Of government Of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie, the condition that we have today
is a government of officeholders, for
officeholders and by oficeholders.
Consider one part of it slone-the
ballot laws. That NO policeman, no
firemen, no city officials shall interfere
in elections or try in any way to con-
troll or influence the peoples votes.
And what have we today? AS learned
in a recent tour Of the wards, the city
is absolutely under the power of these
men. At every polling place you will
find Is or 20 officeholders with clubs.
The old-fashioned people would never
have allowed that; they fought for
their rights. How long are we going
to allow 1t?
And yet there are some Of us who
are Indifferent to all this, who say my
family frst, then my state Fellow
citizens, the first duty of every man
Is to his state-if it were not for his
state he would have no family. We
