Brains Saved by Machlaes.

A machine which does the work o!
six clerks without making their mis-.
takes has been introduced into several
Chicago banks. It weighs counts, and,
sorts gold coins, delicately separating
the worn ones-which lose four cents
in value for every grain rubbed Of
from the pieces OF standard weight.
Adding, aud changemaking machines
have already been long in use in
banks and commercial houses. Cash
registers are familiar savers OF time
and figuring. In many markets there
are patent scales which indicate
weights and calculate prices at tue
same time.
It is worthy Of notice that what
these pieces Of mechanism relieve is
not the hand but the brain Of man.
They serve to spare the arduous exer-
else Of certain mental faculties. just
as books Of ready reference make en-
ormous strains on the memory un-
necessary.
AS Inventions multiply which light
en- mems brains of mass of clogging
detail more room is left for other
things in the human mind and great
er freedom Of mental process is af-
forded. These brain saving devices
then, must be ranked high among the
instruments Of progress, overcoming
handicaps for the intellects that must

A Pioneer Nebraska Home.

One of the unique buildings on the
Pan. American Exposition grounds is
the Nebraska sod house, located near
the Indian mound, says the Buffalo
Express. It is under the supervision
Of Mrs. l.. Bowser, who had Q similar
construction at the Exposition at
Omaha. Her success was so marked
there that Director General Blu ehanan
invited her to reproduce the attraction
at the Pan-Amerioan.
The sod house was constructed by
Mr.. A. Q. Morrison, brother-in-law
Of Mrs. Bowser, and is made entirely
Of sod brought from the prairies Of
Nebraska. It is small, low struo
ture, with wide, squatting voranda
reaching across the front, &C exact re-
production of the homesteader house
of twenty-five years ago. Such houses
generally have been replaced by COM
Portable frame dwellings,, although a
few sod houses still are to be seen on
the Nebraska prairies. Each piece Of
sod is three feet thick, one foot wide
and two feet long, making solid two
foot wall. There is but one room in
the building, which serves as kitchen,
dining room, sitting room and sleep
ing room. The sleeping apartment
is partitioned off with screen made
of blue jean.
Through three small windows the
unpretentious house is lighted. The
inner walls are lined With q native
lime, or alkali clay, which is found in
Nebraska. The lime is supposed to
set, stopping the growth of the grass,
but the rainy season Buffalo mas cx-
perienced has prevented the lime from
hardening and the prairie grass has
forced its way through the lime, SC
that the walls Of the house have q
very realistic interior decoration. The
rough board floor is covered with g
rag carpet, luxury in which the early
settlers did not indulge. The ground
is SO dry and becomes SO packed in
that State that beard floor is quite
unnecessary.
The low pitched ROOF is made Of
timbers running lengthwise, the centre
timber supported by q cottonwood
post, and the board roof covered with
sod. The ceiling is whitewashed
Upon the walls are hung few old
fashioned pictures, rudely framed.
The furniture is acant and typical Of
the settlers days.
In connection with the sod house
Mrs. Bowser conducts restaurant in
a rustic pavilion adjoining. She has
been invited to have sod house and
restaurant ct the Charleston Exposi
tion. Woman's Home Journal.

TOLD BY THE FEATURES.
How Character Can 5e Read In Per
sons Countenance.

SOUS tounEeNanCGs
Teeth that are long and not mar
row denote large, liberal views,
strong passions and heroic virtues !;
if they are long and narrow, q weak
character is denoted. Evenly grow
ing teeth show better disposition
and better developed mind than
those that crowd and overlay.
Long noses are cautious and pru-
dent; short ones impulsive, and tip
tilted ones hopeful, impulsive and
joyous. Deep colored eyes, with
well arched lids. both upper and
lower, show a truthful and affection
ate nature. An eyebrow slightly
curling at the outer edge indicates
a jealous nature. There is a whole
world of telltale indications in the
apex Of the ear. If it lies close to
the head, the owner possesses re-
fined nature, but if the top starts
away from the head at a well de-
fined angle that person has an un-
even disposition and is not to be re-
lied upon.
II girls thumb lies fiat or drops
little, marital submission to the
master mind is indicated. If the
thumb has tendency to stand at
right angles to the hand, the damsel
owning it is headstrong. A person
of weak character has q pendent
thumb; the strong character has a
strong, erect thumb.
Fingers which bend backward
mean powerful determination. If
they are round, strength, both
physical and mental, is indicated.
stubby fingers are grasping fingers.
Finger nails that are rounded show
refinement; if long and rather
square at the top, frmness and en-
ergy are denoted.-Leslie's Weekly.

Mieknameel by Roya,sv.

On one occasion Queen Victoria's
strong sense Of humor led her to
make Q remark which would un-
doubtedly have greatly annoyed the
subject of it had he not remained in
happy ignorance. Indeed not till
after the death Of those concerned
was the story repeated by the per-
son to whom it was made. Lord
John Russell, the famous statesman,
who was one Of the queens most
valued prime ministers, was ex-
tremely small, and when his engage
ment to q very tall and beautiful
young widow became known his fu-
ture royal mistress observed that he
should be known. as "the widows

a Dog Was Their Klna.

In Ethiopia the people once went
go far in their fanaticism as to elect
dog as their king. The animal so
chosen was kept in great state, sur
rounded by numerous train of off,
GERS and guards. When he fawned
upon them he was supposed to be
pleesed with their proceedings, but
when he growled it was understood
that he disapproved Of the manner
in which their government was con-
Quoted. These indications of his
will were implicitly obeyed.

Il supposed she'd actually told me
the truth about having nothing to
eat, but ] said at venture:
Madam, I've got 16O pounds of
coffee right here under my head,
and if you'll get something for me
and my mule to eat you shall have
some OF it.
"Well, sir, it acted like magic:
She went to the bed in the corner,
turned back the cover. turned down
the mattress, and I'll agree to never
put good victuals in my chops again
if she didn't have regular com
niissary in there. All the under
part Of the bed was planked up
solid and was just filed with ham
and side bacon and meal and corn.
She even fetched out a little poke
filled with flour. In five minutes
my mule had good feed of corn,
and in half All hour I sat down to
the best dish Of fried ham that ever
went down my throat.
"While she was cooking supper I
poured her out about quart and
half of the green coffee, and you
oughtr seen that poor old soul.
She was just tickled to death. She
whirled in and parched skilletful
of it, pounded it up in rag on the
hearth, and when 1 went off to
sleep with a full stomach she was
sitting there Numbered up over the
fireplace, with an old rusty pot
steaming full and drinking like
she'd never get enough. You bet
ter believe the pipe was laid on the
shelf, and about every Is minutes
she'd say to herself:
"Ifs the fust ginnywine coffee
I've seed for three years.
"Well, sir, I won't undertake to
say that she sat there all night and
poured hot coffee down her throat,
because I slept like top and don't
know what she did do, but I'll agree
to never tell the truth again If she
wasn't sitting there the next morn
ing hunkered up over the ashes and
drinking away, and the first thing
I heard was:
'Ginnywine Coffee
"She stopped drinking long
enough to cook me some breakfast,
and then I gave her another quart
of the green berries and rode away.
The last I saw Of her she was max
ing a fresh potful, and the last
words I heard were:
"Goodby, stranger. Thank the
Lord fur, ye comm. It's the fust
ginnywine coffee I've seed in three
years."

Eailacy In Education.

A story is told Of a French girls
high school visited not long ago by
an inspector who asked a pupil how
long it required to "soft boil an
egg" She answered, "From 20 min
utes to half an hour" The next re-
piled, "Three-quarters Of an hour"
The third thought that "about 11
minutes would do" and the fourth
responded brightly, "Just five min
utes." Yet those girls knew all
about the egg from o scientific point
OF view.

new year of work and for the begin
ming of another decade of further
mighty achievement
Each year since the inception of
the organization conventions have
been held which have grown in inter
est and power. Detroit, Indianapolis,
Toronto. Baltimore, Milwaukee, Chat
tanooga. Buffalo, Richmond and Gin
cinnati have successfully entertained
the union, have been glad TO see the
enthusiastic and happy hosts of del
egates gather and sorry to have them
depart, have heard what real, hearty
gospel singing meant, and have
learned that religion was a living
and joyous reality.
The feature of the Baptist Young
Peoples work that is important and
that requires place in this article if
it would clearly set forth the scope
of the work is the educational de-
partment. Baptist leaders, realizing
that foundations are the most impor-
tant. and that young people of the
denomination should be trained to an
intelligent and self-respecting de-
nominational loyalty, and to active
enlistment in the support of the mis-
sionary activities of the denomina-
ton. were led TO form what have
come to be known as the Christian
Culture courses. These include Bible
Readers course, a Sacred Literature
course and a Conquest Missionary
course. The Bible Readers and Con-
quest Missionary courses run through
the entire year, the Sacred Literature
course covers a period of 25 weeks
from October to April. Examinations
are held each year and ceruncates is
sued to the successful contestants.
At the end of four years diplomas are
given to those who have covered the
four years work. The number of eX-
animation papers received in 1900 was
1862, and. while the figures for this
year have not yet been made up, il is
certain they greatly exceed those of
last year. But these figures do not

own publication, the Junior Baptist
Union, issued from the Office of the
Baptist Union, with Lorilla L. Bush
nell as editor. Christian culture
courses specially adapted to the needs
of the juniors have been provided and
have been the means of stimulation
and growth among the young that will
add to the strength of the older or
ganization in the years to come.
And now after ten years of develop
ment and growth the union is return
ing TO the city which gave it birth
to hold its eleventh annual convention.
President John II. Chapman, who has
been at the head of the organization
from the beginning, will preside at
the opening meetings, Thursday, July
25, and deliver his annual address.
Thursday afternoon Workers Confer
ences will be held, which in the past
have proved of the most practical value
to the delegates attending. Sunrise
prayer meetings in the various
churches of the city, state rallies by
the delegates and other interesting
features will mark each day of the
convention. On Saturday afternoon
there is to be held grand junior rally
under the direction of Miss Bushnell,
and Saturday evening a missionary
mass meeting will be held. On Sunday,
the last day of the convention, Rev f.
+. Chivers, ID. d., of New York, will
preach the convention sermon, and
the convention viii close in the even
ing with the usual impressive conse-
Grafton service, under the leadership
of Rev. j. Il. Cranfill. ID. D., of Texas.
Other speakers of national reputa-
ton who will be heard during the con-
vention are Rev. c. S. Gardner, of

over 100000 young people are follow

The organ of the Baptist Young
Peoples union is the Baptist Union,
paper which has shown remarkable
development and growth in the past
ten years. when it became the prop
erty of the union, having been pur-

Publication society, which began its
publication under the name of the
young People at Work in 1890. DIR.

the paper and the general secretary
of the movement. DIR. +. +. Chivers
