Science In Business.

In a recent issue of the journal oil
the British Society of Arts some strik
ing examples of the effect of the use
OF science in German factories are
given. In 1910 $4,000 tons of beet
root were crushed, from which g.,
900 tons of raw sugar were produced
about IL per cent. In 1860 1900.
600 tons were treated, and produced
$4,000 tons of sugars per cent.
Last year 100000 tons were crush.
ed and yielded 100000 tons of raw
sugar-13 per cent. This increase OF
quantity, as well as percentage OF
product is due entirely to scientific
treatment. The production of dry
colors, chemicals and dyes in Ger
many shows corresponding increase
in production and dividend-paying CO,
pocity, which is due to the constant
maintenance of laboratories or trained
scientists, whose only purpose ia to
improve and cheaper processes.

"I'd like to down yonder, where the

I'd like to find the meadows, with the

An yet, when I was with 'em-in the

Where the hummin' bird was browsin'
in the mornin' glory vines,
was evermore a-sayin'. In the lone,
some day and night;
''Id like to be up yonder, where the city

It's still the same old feelin'-the rest
lessness that seems
To keep the soul a-movin' for to realize

GERMANS IN THE REVOLUTION.
Rendered Valuable Aid In American
War for lndepe nd ence,


War for independence.
1t Is well known what important ser.
vice was rendered by Germans in
bringing the war Of independence to q
successful issue. The German colon
lists In New York and Pennsylvania
were largely represented in the patriot
army, and the names of Baron Steuben
and Gen. Herkimer are remembered as
of officers deserving highest honor.
How many of the same nation
served against the colonies, sold by
German Princes to Great Britain, has
only lately been computed. 1t is now
known that these mercenaries, COM
prehensively called "Hessians," be-
cause the larger number were from
Hesse, formed the larger portion OF
the English army. The total of these
German soldiers sent to America from
1776 to 1882 was 30,067; Of these 12,-
562 did not return. AS the loss by
death was 1884 there were 4,808 who
remained in America, and helped to
swell the already large German ele-
ment of the country's population.
These not only, but those who re-
turned home, helped, 1t seems certain,
to pave the way for that rapid increase
of immigration from Germany which
for years after the war was marked
feature in the growth and development
Of the new nation.-Christian Intelli-
gencer.

Witty Speech Cleared Atmosphere.


At a Baptist convention recently
held in the South the minutes of the
first day were recorded by a man of
calm and deliberate speech, while
one of the speakers of the occasion
was a quick-tempered gentleman
named French. BY some oversight
no record was made in the minutes
Of Mr.. French's words, and when the
minutes were read next day Mr..
French was quickly on his feet with
the remark that he objected to the
minutes being accepted.
ION what grounds do you object?"
questioned the presiding officer.
''s object to the English; the re-
port is not in good English" said
the gentleman.
A pause ensued, while everybody
looked at the recording secretary,
who slowly rose to his feet.
"Well, gentlemen" he remarked, in
calm, deliberate fashion, 81 won't de-
fend the English Of the report, but
admit there was no French in It,"
A burst of merriment greeted his
words and the minutes were accept
ed.

Unpleasant Quarter Of an Hour.
A well-known citizen of Clay Center
had been invited to an evening party.
He wanted to go, but his wife declared
that she had no gown suitable for the
occasion, and asked him to send ere
grets" to their hostess. The man
went down to his office and penned
this facetious note of declination:
1--WE regret that your kind invita-
ton must be declined for all the con-
ventional reasons, but the real reason
is that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wifes latest dress is over
three weeks old, and her hat is twelve
hours out of date. You will appreciate
the hopelessness of the occasion and
excuse it."
He thought this pretty good. and he
determined to write note to his wife
also explaining that he would not be
at home for an early dinner, as she
had asked him. He said in this note:
I have turned down your invitation
because am going out to another
evening party where the guests are
not expected to wear anything of i'm
portance. Sorry I won't be there to
kiss you good night.
And then the fool man carelessly
sent his wifes note to the hostess and
the hostess's note to his wife.-Clay

them-but they only added to the

Sometimes, Edward, when no one else

aloud for the touch of woman's

She braids her hair Of brown
With ribbons of the sea,
And all the lands lean down,
Approach, on Bonded knee.
Her cheek with dawn is flushed,
Horizons tremble there;
Through years of nights deep hushed.
The stars have found her fair.
The sea-gull's brigand breast
Is never false to her,
The distant tides unrest
Her sunburnt memries stir.
Her soul Is in midstream;
She listens-till she hears
The waves brim Ger her dream,
AS jealous ocean nears.
She leads him through the maze
OF all her waiting charms,
Nor yields her wonder ways
At once unto his arms;
A lover wild the sea,
A bride upon the shore
Salt winds for certainty,
And ebb-tide as before.

It was past midnight-long past 1t,
though not yet dawn. But the two
men who sat in the wineroom OF the
little all night cafe did not know 1t
and did not care.
One drank necessarily and mechan-
ically from a brown bottle, but his
eyes were bright and clear-and hard,
with the steely hardness Of him who
laughs and hides wound. The other
wreathed himself in great white
clouds of smoke, fitting his chin now
and then to blow a thin white stream
upwards through his teeth and half
closed lips, with an artistic precision,
as though the process involved his
entire and concentrated thought.

They do not see the change" He
laughed-you would have sworn 1t
was some merry jibe. Its funny,
Gregory, isn't it."
His companion paused to flick the
ash from his cigar before replying.
"In a way it's funny, yes" he an
swered. "There is a comical side to
everything, even this. A grim humor,
I'll grant, but humor nevertheless.
Your wife is dead You want her
back-and God won't let you have
her. You've always had your way
with your wealth and that magnif-

The other man sat motionless with
the glass still raised. Not a muscle
quivered, but his eyes were fixed on
the speaker with a strange intensity.
