Progress

In January. 1901. the Indian canoe
was practically the only floating We
hicle on the great lakes, which holds
one-third of all the fresh water in the
world. Today the lake fleet numbers
several thousand steel steamers, with
seventy shipyards on the shores of the
lakes to add constantly to the num-
ber.
In January, 1901. there were in the
world less than so shipbuilding yards.
Today there are more than seven hun
dred shipbuilding yards. turning out
a total of 1000 vessels yearly.
The first iron war vessel built in the
world was the United States steamship
Michigan, which is still in duty on the
great lakes.
The total value of the agricultural
products of the United States in 1900
was $1Oo, ,OOO, 900. In 1900 it will be ap-
proximately $4,000. 100000. while the
farms of the country are worth five
times as much.
One hundred years ago 1t took a
month to cross the Atlantic. Now the
trip is made between two Sundays.
In January. 1901. there were 9o3
postofices in the United States and
1875 miles of postal routes. In 1883
there were $4,000 postofices and 497,-
900 miles of postal routes.
In January, 1901. it cost twenty-fvo
cents to send a single sheet by mail
a distance of 400 miles. Today let
ter containing several sheets may go
as many thousand miles for two cents.
In January, 1901, the total exports
of the United States were s3l 1000, 900.
This year they are S2.O0O.OOO,O0O.
In January, 1901, there was not n
cooking stove in the United States.
Now we are beginning to cook without
fire by the aid of electricity.
Within the century the population OF
the world has doubled. The popula-
tion OF the United States has been
multiplied by fourteen.
The first practicable steamboat was
built in 1902, and the first railway To-
comotive in 1904.
In January, 1901. man could travel
only by coach or on horseback. Today
there are more than 100000 miles oi

Cel,uIoId Comb Explodes.
The End.

A curious accident which recently
occurred in Cincinnati warns women
of frequent danger which is little un-
derstood. A woman leaned down be-
fore an open CRATE. and as she did SO
a celluloid comb exploded with suffi
cient force to throw her several feet.
The comb ignited. burning off most
of the wearer's hair. eyebrows and
lashes, and she was severely burned
about the face and neck. 1t seemed
impossible to extinguish the burning
comb as long as any of 1t was left,
and considerable effort was required
to prevent the carpet and furnishings
from catching fire. The fact that eel
luloid, whose foundation is gun cotton,
is highly inf1ammable and explosive,
seems to be little understood. and the
wonder is that more injuries do not
result, for many women are extremely
careless when heating curling irons
by gas jet or alcohol lamp, and
might very easily expose a celluloid
comb to ignition. Under all ordinary
circumstances, the pretty, convenient
and inexpensive celluloid is innocent
but it must not be brought in contact
with dre.

Treatment of Animals an Index 20 the
Criminal Instint.
According to an ingenious statistician
who has been mt work on the subject
ever since the assassination of King
Humbcrt of Italy, the greatest num-
Der of murders Is likely to be com
mitted in that country in which AMI
mails are treated with the most cruelty.
He claims. too, that comparatively few
murders are committed in those coun-
tries in which societies for the protcc-
ton of animals flourish.
out of every million inhabitants. he
says, there are in England and Ireland
only six murdercrs; in Germany,
eleven; in Belgium, fourteen; In
France, sixteen; in Austria, twenty
three; in Hungary, siNty-soven; III
Spain eighty-thrcc, and In Italy ninety
five.
These figures. he maintains. are just
what might be expected. In no coun'
try, he says, are animals treated with
more kindness than in Great Britain
and with more cruelty than In Italy
and the treatment accorded to them III
the other countries may fairly be
gauged according to the number OF
murders committed in cnch.
At the same time this statistician
who is u German and an Influential
member of the British Society for th'
Protection of Animals, admits that eli
mate is considerable factor in thi'

seized her trunks because the clothing
bought abroad which they contained

CHAPTER x

Madam Dubois was dangerously mad
from that night, enacting over and
over again the terrible deed she had
committed. the combined remorse and
ror of which she had gradually
thrown her mind OFF its balance. 1t
was found that she had broken into
Mollie's room. and, discovering the
window open and the room empty,
had evidently pursued them down the
road, for one of her shoes was found
not far from the White house gates.
Foiled in her attempt by the timely ar
rival of Reggie. she had returned and
smashed everything in the room, bury
ing the knife in MolIie's pillow.
Henri was telegraphed for, but de-
clined to come, sending word that he
was seriously i'll with the, shock. The
general impression was that he feared
along known more than he would al
low; but nothing could be proved
against him. Madame raved for him
perpetually; but this one creature
whom she worshipped, for whom she
had stopped at no crime, coolly de-
serted her without the least compunc-
tion.
Never once did he write to ask
about her, or did she see him again;
but he quietly disappeared from
knowledge, though many years after
ward Mollie received begging letters
at intervals from him. And 1t was
Mollie who took compassion on her
enemy, and returned good for evil by
paying for her to be well cared for
in an asylum, where she fingered for
some years.
Being left without a guardian, her
l trustIs were quite willing for her to

PROFITABLE RELIGION.

Oberammergau Made Rich by tho Passion
Play.
Religion may not pay in dollars and
cents elsewhere, but it certainly pays
in Oberammergau. AS II result of the
Passion Play the gross receipts of the
state railroads amounted to Sl,5OO,0OO
more last year than during the corre-
spending time in 1899. The net profit
will be $125,OOO.
Lodging house keepers in the little
town and vicinity rcaped harvest OF
S275,OOo. The play itself brought a
clear profit of S75O,OOO, and with this
money the town itself will be fur
nished with new system of drainage
and the famous wood carving institu-
tion ut Oberammergau will be put in
to first-rate order.
Now If the town does not lose Its
head and its charming individuality by
this tidal wave of prosperity 1t can
push on to things better still. 1t has
taken the first step in the right direc-
ton and may prove its ability to en-
dure riches as it has endured poverty,
with a picturesque grace.

Of u S. Treasury Department graduate OF
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"AIlow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myself a well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure you
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately inyigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experiment-it
is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna
has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna.

into her things and, tying shawl

she heard footsteps on the hard road
behind. Every moment she felt the
poor distraught woman was gaining
on them-that she could hear madame's
wild voice; but she staggered on,
praying as she had never prayed be-

Kate, her mothers baby!
But she had hardly any breath left
