The company, he said. has built a spur

the price agreed on is 1915 per cord

laps are paid S1.25 per cord and they

early and late and thus are enabled to
make pretty good wages. One pair Of
Japs i'll particular pile up five cords ev-
cry day, which amounts to $625 for
the two. Others, however, do not put
up over cord apiece. White men are
the best workers while they are at it,
but they like to quit and go hunting
every few days, so. on the whole, do not
put up many cords. Whites and Japs
get the same price.

A LIQUID INVENTION.
1t viii Produce fluctuations In wo-
mems Hair Without Injury

- VIA iroGuce fluctuations In WO-
mems Hair Without Injury.
The most casual observer of woman's
beauty must have noticed that the
waving curls commonly called undula-
lions are not entirely the work of ma
ture. They are indeed the result of
rather laborious art. and the French
man who first dressed the hair in this
style has made fortune and retired
from business. His imitators are now
to be found all over that part Of the
world that interests itself in the fash
ions of womanhood. The process has
always involved a skillful use Of the
curling tongs. and the theory was the
same as that of the hot poker. which
mas been always the most effective
cause of the artificial curl. The results
Of this fashion We're not always hene-
fetal. as women who have constantly
used it can testify SO Injurious has it
proved in cases that women unwilling
to run the risk of having their own
hair destroyed have taken to using a
false substitute that can be repeatedly
curled in the approved style without in
jury.
A f'renchman now in New York has
recently made an invention which not
only removes all danger to the hair, but
also insures to the style the continu-
ance which has been so much desired,
says the New York Sun. This new in
vention is in the form of liquid and
will not only produce the undulations,
but keep them in excellent condition
for at least six weeks. And it does not
in the least damage the hair Such
substitute for the deadly hot iron has
been sought for years. and its inventor
seems sure of as great fortune as the
famous originator of the fashion in
Paris

New Kind OF Horse,

At recent meeting of the London
Geological society communication
was received in which the probable dis
coVery or new species of horse in the
great konSo forest was announced The
description Of the animal was furnish
ed by Sir Harry Johnson. who said that
his attention had been directed to the
existence of a horSelike animal in this
region from the fact that Stanley had
mentioned that the Dwarfs had a name
for the horse. He had obtained Dor
lions of the skin. which are to be for
Warded to England for critical eXami-
nation. says the New York Post 1t is
clear that the skin does not belong to
any known zebra or wild ass. The belly
ana leg stripes are irregular. with Il
chestnut border, and they look very
much as If other parts of the skin were
either uniform dun or dark gray. In
the discussion which followed the pres
entation of the letter it was suggested
that the animal in question was an I'M
described antelope which was thought
to exist in this region.

SERMONS BY MACHINERY. /
Novel Instrument Used In a London
Church.

Church.
Sermons preached by machinery are
the latest The instrument used is of
brass and is called a "monsterphone,"
writes the London correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t performs
pieces of music for the entertainment
of the congregation and varies it's pro-
gramme with an occasional address.
1t has been introduced with the hone
that it would play upon the curiosity
of the populace and attract crowds to
the services. Already has the hope
been justified. for st. Mary-at- Hill, the
church in which the monster machine
has been placed, now resounds on
Sundays with the tramp of many feet
instead of being left to it's usual DESC
late emptiness.
Introducing this modern and highly
sensational crowd attracting method
into this five centuries old church has,
Wlthal touch of pathos. Into an iu-
terror which carries one back to ages
long since dead has this monster
phone been put. In addition to it
there is magic lantern in the loft
which throws pictures on the screen
stretched across the middle aisle.
These pictures illustrate the text of the
machine sermon. y skilled pianist
presldes at the grand piano, numer-
Gus stringed orchestra ranged before
the altar performs pieces of music that
are known in every household, the bass
drum booms and echoes through the
venerable pile, and an earnest preacher
tells his congregation some plain home
truths-no subtle theological hair
splitting, no didactics, but straight rhe-
torlcal blows from the shoulder
1t is Il novel method of bringing the
people to church, but it has succeeded.
Tor the congregation, numbering once
barely dozen. is now over 600. At
midday the workmen in their toll stain
ed clothes spend part of their dinner
interval listening to the monster
phone" or looking at the magic lantern
pictures, and the Sunday congregation
is just as homespun in it's character.

Dainty Lure For Churchroers.

Devices to attract congregations to
church are spreading from sensational
ism to businesslike ;rstheticism. The
Sussex Daily News says there is a
place of worship where tiny bouquets
OF flowers are, at the close of every
morning service. handed to each lady
member of the congregation During
service the flowers decorate the altar
ana the pulpit The plan is defended
ON the ground that since it was inst-
tuted the congregation has largely in
creased. and the larger offertory en-
ables the clergy to distribute more
money among the parish charities.
Success. however. was largely assured
from the fact that the parish mainly
consists of houses without gardens
and flowers therefore cannot be growl
to any great extent.

When one considers that just 100
years aso it took the president of the
United States several days to make the
journey from Philadelphia to Wash
1nSton by stagecoach, where now the
journey is accomplished in about as
many minutes as it then took hours,
one stands aghast at the progress that
has been made during the nineteenth
century and must perforce remain
dumb before any prophecy, not in fear
of overstatement, but rather the oppo-
site, says George IL. Daniels, general
passenger agent of the New York Cen
trail and Hudson River railroad in the
New York Herald.
Does 1t not, then, seem reasonable
that, no matter in what stretch of i'm

the matter of prophecy, we cannot
overstate, for the reason that, with an

Two Men on an Overland Journey In
IL Tourists Wagon.
There passed through Chattanooga
few days ago a unique overland tour
lists wagon drawn by two strong
horses, a hunting dog running beneath
it and two men on the front seat The
men are Herman Dalwigk and Charles
+. Hirsch of HoboEen. n j., who start
ed from New York to so to Mexico by
carriage about three months ago Mr..
Hirsch said:
AT home we are commercial tray
elers and have been old friends for
years. Some people go to Europe. but
we wanted to travel through the Unit
ed States, and this is our way Of do
ing it, We travel when we please and
rest when we wish to. In rainy wealth
er we don't travel at all. but lie up
wherever the rain happens to strike
US. We have two guns. and our dog
is good one, SO we kill all the meat
we want
I'VE do all our own cooking and car
~ large supply Of provisions. We
are bound for q tour of Mexico and
Texas. and we have been three months
out from New York and expect it will
be three months before we start home.
When we are travelling, we go leisure
ly and average not over 90 miles day.
No; we do not sell anything, and
we are not out for profit except to our
health. We don't want to start when
the whistle blows. and there's nothing
of the drudge life in this existence.
We live as high as we please. eat and
sleep when we want to. hunt and fish
as the spirit leads US and sometimes
go to church if we happen to strike a
town on Sunday"
Across the front Of the wagon in
plain letters is this motto: .'As we Jour

two shotguns in convenient cases, pro.
