The annual reports of the president and

thereby leaving a balance of Sl.i6tSo
The report of the president, Miss Mary
T. Greenlow, is as follows:
1.-The last year OF the dying century
has been an uneventful one for the Ntr-
ginia Home for Incurables. We have had
no requests to help us liquidate our debt
or add any improvements. The only thing
Of note is the gift of one thousand dollars

tuition is self-suStaning, which will ena-
bic us to keep every bed occupied with
some poor sufferer who has no one to
care for them, and we will not have to
say, as we are now often compelled 10.
There is room. but not means to take
more patients
1.-THE ministers of the various denoml-
nations continue their kindness in hold
ing services every Sabbath afternoon. Our
medical staff are ready to come when
called Our attorney is always at our
command. and our Advisory Board ready
to give advice when needed. The CITY
Fathers continued the annual appropr1a-
ton of three hundred dollars, and many
persons have contributed to our wants
some even without waiting to be asked,
for all of which we are very thankful
Regarding the improvements. the first
and most important thing to be done is
to introduce the hot water system, as
the furnaces do not heat the house prop
erly in cold weather, and are very I'M
satisfactory. We also need electricity
for the elevator, as hand power is not
sufficient.
"Owing to the illness of myself and
family I have been kept from taking part
in the work for at least two-thirts of the
year. but l hope for better health in the
future when | can resume my duties
And now. dear friends and co-worl1ers
with the dawn of the new century will
not each of you again dedicate yourself
to this work. and with renewed hope and
faith. as we'll as work. so forward with
the determination to press on until this
end is accomplished? I wish to thank all

GOT A "PosTAL" SHOULDER 2
Madison Street Tailor Gives Name
to the Newest Wrinkle.

| Madison Street Tailor Gives a Name
| to the Newest Wrinkle.
"a trifie more wadding will do it
nicely" said the Madison street tailor,
| and he made some mysterious chalk
marks ON the coat Of customer, select
| ing the left shoulder for his work. The
customer went out and another man,
who had dropped in to pay something
| on account-not because lie felt like
paying, but because he wanted more
clothing and didn't think he could get
it save by a demonstration of good faith
looked a question.
"Oh," said the little tailor promptly,
"got postal shoulder, that's all. l get a
lot of that sort of trade"
whats postal shoulder?" asked the
man whose installment gave him a
right to be inquisitive.
why" said the little tailor, zone of
his shoulders is shorter than it really
ought to be, don't you know? Ever
notice how a letter carrier wears his
mail bag? Always has it slung over his
left shoulder"
1.-The result is that in course of very
limited time they lose symmetry. The
right shoulder remains in it's natural
position, but the left drops more or less
but always enough to make the defect
noticeable.
There are good many other persons
who are in need of cotton padding for
one shoulder of the coat. There is not
one man in hundred who carries him
self absolutely straight, and the tailor
who goes ahead and makes both sides
Of his garments exactly alike is breed
ing dissatisfaction.
"There are lots Of things that will
give man 'postman's shoulder such
as leaning regularly over a desk, driv-
ing team of horses, reaching for a
strap in street car and a hundred 9th
er things. Chicago Record-H Herald.

one OF the many consequences of the
Boer war is the growing uneasiness
among a considerable number of En-
glishmen as to the defensive powers of
Gibraltar-not of the rock itself, but Of
the harbor and docks, which, from a ma
val point Of view, are of scarcely less
Importance. Experience in the Trans
vaal has proved that it is exceedingly
difficult to get the range of heavy but,
nevertheless, mobile guns, fred with
SmokeleSs powder from an invisible
point several miles away. Five or six
years ago, under Lord Rosebery's ad-
ministration, the British admiralty be-
gan the construction of vast system
OF moles and docks, which has been
continued by the present Tory govern
ment upon still larger scale. 1t Is
asserted by T. Gibson Bowles and
others that all Of these works lie with
in reach of great guns, which might
easily be concealed behind the ridges
of the low hills skirting the adjacent
| Spanish territory, and so could be de-
| strOyed readily, or, at all events, rem
| dered absolutely useless, in the event
of war breaking out. The government,
on the other hand, maintains that shoot
ing is a game that two can play at,
and that any guns behind the hills
would be within the reach of weapons
| quite as powerful, and would be put
out of action in no time The fact that
! the new docks are within moderate
range of possibly hostile territory does
not seem to be disputed.

Mr.. SchWab, who Is an eminent man
because he draws a salary of 100000
year, has supplied the college presi
dents and orators with commence
ment topic. Mr.. Schwab recently ex-
pressed the opinion that the higher in
situations of learning were of little or
no account because they do not teach
young men how to pile up money. Mr..
Schwab is one of those eminent persons
who think a million is the only thing
lifeis worth living for except some more
millions. He looks upon an institution
of learning as worthless, no matter how
much 1t may cost, unless it teaches
young men how to amass riches, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Naturally and
properly college presidents and all who
appreciate liberal education see things
differently. To them man who thinks
it is all of life to get dollars and all Of
education to teach youth how to get
dollars looks sordid, not to say small
and contemplate. And they see things
more as they are. Money is only one
of number of things In this world
that are worth the trouble of getting
Scientific knowledge is worth having.
So is knowledge of history. So is
knowledge of languages. SO are a heart
and mind full of sympathy and help
fulness. SO is broad, all-around devel-
opment of intellect, taste and morals
So is character. Mr. Schwab may not
be aware of tive cannot expect any
one to be aware of it who never en-
joyed and does not appreciate high
education and culture-but it is none
the less true that the man of broadly
and highly educated and developed
mind, heart and character is worth
vastly more to the world and contrib
utes more to the welfare and happiness
of his kind than the man who is mere
ly skilled in amaSsing dollars. Not
every man can get rich. 1t is not de-
sirable that every man should know
how to get rich and exercise his knowl-
edge and skill in that direction. This
would not be very delightful world
if all men were of that kind. But every
one can learn something, and the more
and the broader his knowledge Of all
things except evil the better for him
self and for all with whom he may
come in contact, directly or indirectly.
A man may easily be richer than he de-
serves to be; no man can be too wise
or too good. That is to say, no man
can be too highly educated in the best
sense of the word, and that is very far
from being a sordid sense.

INDIANA'S BOY KING
OF TRAP SHOOTERS.

Ray Graham, the 14-yearold son of
z. A. Graham of Washington, Ind,
is by far the youngest member of the
Indiana Trap Shooters League, and is
considered the best wing shot Of his
age in the United States. Previous to
last Christmas morning he had never
fred off shotgun. On that day his
father made him present of a fine
double-barreled gun, and within
week the boy had developed into
remarkably successful hunter. The
local gun club became interested in
the boy, and few months ago elected
him a member of that organization
Since then he has been practicing with
them regularly, and, with the excep-
ton of John L. Winston, who holds
the State championship, is the best

Almost every New Zealander lives

ocean, or both. It's landscapes show
long ranges and solitary giants tipped

everywhere some of them among the

Intellectual efforts had been made in
years gone by to find the body, but Col.
Gardiner was sure that the General
had been buried in tomb known as the

search by finding a coffin plate upon
which he could trace the word

His hands were encased in silk gloves
that were still intact when found. The

been placed in separate boxes and de-
posted in a safety deposit vault for
such disposition as may be arranged
later. They will probably be buried

balistic feasts were frequent. There
were twenty-five islands, inhabited by
as many different tribes, and each
tribe had it's own language. For the
last forty-two years DR.. Patton and his
colleagues have been permanent resi-
dents ON the islands. They have made
more than $4,000 converts, have re-
duced to writing all the twenty-five
languages, and have taught the natives
the ways Of civilization. DR.. Patton had
his satchel stolen while in London, and
declares he is anxious to get back to
his islands, where his life and prop
erty will be safer than they are h4Rthe

in the New Hebrides and before the
natives were brought under the infiu-
ence of Christianity DR.. Patton was
placed in peril of his life more times
than he can remember At least fifty
times his life hung in the balance, but
each time he came out without seri-
Gus injury of any kind. He loves the
islands and the people and will start
soon to return to them after bidding a
last farewell to his native land and his
