his administration grasped the spirit OF prog

Riuht Shall Rule.

Short is the triumph of evil,
Long is the reign of right,
The men who win by the aid of sin,
The nation that rules by might,
The party that lives by corruption,
The trickster, the knave. the thief.
May thrive for time on the fruits of
crime,
But their seeming success is brief
Sheer II you will at honor;
Make virtue a theme for jest;
Scoff at the man who strives as he can
To seek and to do the best;
Make goodness a butt for slander
And offer excuse for vice;
Proclaim the old lie. the corruptionist's
cry
That every man has his price.
Yet know that the truth shall triumph,
That evil shall find its doom;
That the cause of right, tho subdued by
might,
Shall break from the strongest tomb:
That wrong, tho 1t seems to triumph.
Lasts only for day,
While the cause of truth has eternal
youth.
And shall rule o'er the world for aye.

New Kind of Nickel Steel.

Metallurgists have long been aware
that the addition c. a certain percent
age of nickel to harden steel makes
an alloy of especial hardness. Advan-
tage is taken of that discovery in the
manufacture of armor plate for war
vessels. Nickel steel possesses other
well known virtues, such as suscepti-
Dility to high polish and loss of cor
possibility. A Frenchman named Gull
Iaumy now declares that he has found
a new trait of much Importance. He
says that he gets rid of expansion
with temperature, thus adapting his
alloy to many useful purposes, such
as the construction of boiler tubes,
whose varying length tends to impair
their connections and create leaks.
Presumably the proportions in which
the iron and nickel are combined in

coin-operated Hair Brush.

While the illustration below does
not give an adequate idea of the ap4
pearance of the rotary hair brush
recently patented by Clarence M.
Stiner of New York city, yet there is
enough detail shown to explain the
mechanism which controls the rota-
tion of the brush wheels. In carrying
out the invention the bristles are
radially attached to hubs to form
wheels and the wheels are intercon-
nected by gearing, which can be ro-
tated to a limited extent upon the in
sertion of a coin and the subsequent
manipulation of the lever to bring
fresh surfaces into position to be
used, while carrying the previously
used bristles into the casing. As
will be seen, casing surrounds the
brush wheels on nearly all sides, leav-
ing only one surface exposed. At the
rear of this casing and in conjunction
with the handle is the actuating me-
chanism, consisting of hinged plate
carrying a coin tube and a pivoted
lever, the latter extending through a
slot to be actuated by the thumb

Strain Is No Greater.

The question has been raised
whether if it should be practicable to
attain to a speed of 100 miles or more
an hour by rail, the engineer could
stand the strain. 1t has been affirmed
by a physician that such fearful go
ing would wear out his nerves in a
little while. The question has been
answered already by one experienced
engineer before a meeting of scien-
lists. Asked as to the probable ef-
fects, in case of a common accident,
of a speed of more than sixty miles
an hour he said: "A smash-up at
sixty miles would make splinters of
everything; at 100 miles the splinters
might be finer bu. the destruction
could not be more complete" That is
to say, when an engineer runs his
engine at sixty miles he is under as
severe a strain as he would be at any
other speed.

screen to Protect the Face.

The discomfort occasioned by the
hair falling on the face as it is being
cut from the head by the barber is an
unpleasant experience, which the
majority of men are called upon 20
pass through at frequent intervals,
and it has occurred to a German in
ventor that the annoyance could
easily be done away with by provid-
ing some sort of a face screen to
catch the cuttings as they are clipped
from the head. How the idea has
been carried out is shown in the ac-
companying drawing. the device con-
sisting of screen to protect the
face, together with trough to pre-
vent the hair from falling on the
clothing. The device is preferably
transparent, in order that the custom

THoMAs A. EDIsoN's HABITS.
Not Allowed to Be So Absorbed In
Work as Formerly.

An amusing story is told in Success
OF Thomas A. Edison's first marriage.
Shortly after the ceremony he was
called away to his laboratory on an
important experiment. He plunged
into the work. At midnight one of his
friends called to see him. He had just
accomplished the object of his labors
and was preparing to quit work.
81 guess I'd better go home," he
said as he hurried into his coat and
jammed his hat down on his head.
'You know was married today"
But the days of complete absorption
in work have passed for him. The
second Mrs. Edison has undertaken
the task of keeping the inventor
healthy. She will not permit him to
neglect his meals or to work more
than she thinks is good for him. She
insists that he shall leave the labor
atory at certain hour each night,
and she undertakes to see personally
that he does so. AT times Mr.. Edison
objects, but in very mild way, to
this regime. Not long ago he was
deeply engaged in a certain expert
ment, when Mrs. Edison called for him
and insisted upon taking him home.
After some resistance he at last con-
sented, saying, however, by way of a
final protest as he stepped into the
carriage:
BILLY (his pet name for Mrs. Edi-
SOM, you're a nuisance"
Were it not, however, for the saw
ing influence which Mrs. Edison ex-
ercises over her husband it is doubt
ful if he would accomplish SO much.

QUEER CUSTOMS OF CHINESE
Liquids Sold by Pound and Cloth by
the Foot.

Liquids Sold by Pound and Cloth by
the Foot.
In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman never puts his
name outside of his shop, but paints
inside a motto, or a list of his goods
on his vertical signboard. Some re-
assuring remark is frequently added,
such as, zone word hall, "A child
two feet high would not be cheated" !"
Every single article has to be bar
gained for, and it is usual for the
customer to take his own measure
and scales with him. A strong man
has difficulty in carrying on his back
two pounds worth of the copper cash
which is the common currency, so it
is necessary to take servant to carry
ones purse. The sycee of silver is
the only other form of money be-
sides the copper tael. As it weighs
about sixty-seven ounces, hammer
and cold chisel are indispensable for
making change.
When you engage a servant or make
a bargain it is not considered bind
ing until "the fastening penny has
been paid. Although his bad faith
is notorious in some matters, yet, to
do him justice, when once this coin
has been paid by you the Chinaman,
coolie or shopman, will generally stick
to his bargain, even if the result to
him be loss.-Modes and Fabrics.

Third Coupon Identifies the Owner.
to give the owner of the parcel or
baggage a third coupon, to be given
up as a means of identification upon
delivery of the goods.
The tag is to be useo in the follow
ing manner: On each of the threo
parts appears the same number and
if the baggage is to be transferred
from the station of deposit, then the
parts will also have the name of tine
station of departure and destination.
The two detachable coupons are given
to the owner of the baggage and the
third is placed on the goods. When
the owner arrives at his or her des-
tination and desires the delivery of
the baggage one of the coupons may
be given to the delivery man, enabl-
ing him to secure the goods, the re-
naming coupon being given up when
the delivery is made, thus identifying
the owner and at the same time pro-
viding a receipt to prove the proper
delivery has been made.

Electricity for Plants.

An important paper has recently
been published by DIR. Selim Lem
strom of Helsingfors, on the use of
electricity as a plant fertilizer His
experiments show that for plants
growing on arabl land of medium
quality an inucrease of 40 per cent in
the crops is obtainable, the better
the field is titled the greater the in
crease; on poor soil the effect is
trifing. Certain rlants, such as peas,
cabbages and turnips do not respond
to electrical treatment, until after
being watered. Electricity applied
when the sun is shining strongly is
almost invariably injurious.

Shoe Horn Win Clamp Attachment.

Shoe Horn With Clamp Attachment.
The shoe horn is an almost indis-
pensable article to persons who are
wearing low shoes in the summer
time, as it is next to impossible to
make the shoe conform to the shape
of the heel and still be large enough
to pull on freely. With a horn of the
ordinary construction it is necessary
to press the shoe against the floor or
other surface to aid in forcing the foot
into it. George Schneider of Balti-
more, Md, has just patented a shoe
horn having the prime advantage of
enabling the user to stand in an up
right position while putting on his
snoes. The improvement consists in
mounting a gripping jaw pivotally on
lug on the convex face of the horn,
with lever pivoted on a second lug
to close the jaw and clamp the
leather tightly when the end of the
horn and the lever are grasped in the
hand. The face of the jaw is covered
with corrugated rubber, which affords
a firm grasp without injury to the
leather. With the clamp in position
and being gripped by the hand a pull
on the two members will draw tie

Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1901-190?, 1902-04-04

One of the greatest armies OF temper
ance reformers in the world breaches
it's doctrine daily in our midst by ac-
tion, and not by precept or sermon;
but few OF the thousands who travel up
and down the railways of our country
ever stop to consider this silent force
which has become stronger in it's eX-
ample and power for good than all the
temperance organizations. There are
several million men employed in vari-
ous capacities on the railways of the
United States, and of this considerable
army fully fifty per cent occupy re-
sponsible positions which render their
work of a peculiarly public character,
The engineers, firemen, switchmen and
train dispatchers are daily responsible
for the lives and property OF great
numbers, and to prevent mistakes,
which might cause great disasters, ev-
cry possible precaution is taken to
eliminate errors.
The discipline of the railways en-
ployes of the country is probably
stricter, and better enforced, than in
any other line of work. A number OF
years ago temperance was not strictly
enforced on trainmen, but the engi-
neers were compelled TO report for
business in perfectly sober condition.
There were some lax rules in regard to
trsinmen. and ii was not uncommon to
see many of them drinking at the pub.
lie houses along the route when theiI
train was waiting for orders. But to-
day not only temperance, but almost
teetotalism, is enforced on our leaains
railways, especially among engineers
hremen, switchmen and train dispatch,
ers and conductors. The managers OF
the railways found that many of the
accidents were due to drink among tht
employees, and, after considering tho
problem for a few years, the man who
could not get along without drinking
was gradually forced from the ranks o
the railway employees. To-day thes,
workmen represent the largest ant
strongest army OF upright, sober, in
dustrial men in the world.
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1901-190?, 1902-04-04

Alcohol Is the poison-principle in all
liquors produced by distillation or fer
mentation. To say that a drink is in
toxicating" is to say that its essential
note or quality is poison-"toXicum"-
and its consumption ultimates in death
though use in small quantities may
comport with apparent health and long
continued life. This does not initiate
against the fact that alcohol. il not
lethal in immediate result. is a mar
cotic, affecting the organ of mind.
The act OF drinking intoXicants, then,
in its last analysis. gauged according
to highest ethical standards, involves
mind-suicide, and this, though insanity
may not be Immediately produced in
its darkest phases. Every man who
drinks, or gives an intoxicant to others
10 drink. imperils the integrity OF his
mental life and plays with his moral
nature. in defiance of the fundamental
law OF the moral realm, that it Is the
supreme duty OF manhood to maintain
intact all the conditions of moral r.
sponsibility.
No man has right to tamper with
his mind in such way as to reduce or
overthrow his moral liability, leopard
izing the normal exercise of his will
in self-control; yet Thousands OF men
more or less deliberately drink for the
purpose Of benumbing the mental fac
ulty and destroying or impahlng the
