Breath of the sunset rose;
Wind in the redwood trees
Swept from the shutdown seas;
Clean on the hilltop high
Caught from a jeweled sky;
Dusk in the canyon deep
Shed from the wing of sleep;
Prayer in censor swung,
Incense from the wing of sleep;
Dreams in purple boat
Sailing from ports remote;
"Peace" from a seraph fair
Floating through twilight air.
Over the tired world blows
Rests from the sunset rose.

Queer Conveyance That Is Used by

United States mail form the post of

when her husband. who had the con-

because she couldn't carry the load
she introduced the whcelbarrow, says
the New York Sun.
When her husband became n con-
firmed invalid she kept the contract
for him and nursed him, too, and at
his death the government wouldn't
take the job away from her. 1t is

TO INCREASE THE ARMY.
Retired United states Omcer Suggests
Plan for Utilizing the
National Guard.

thinking men realize that the
United States must have a decent
sized army" said retired officer, ac-
cording to the New York Sun, "but
many people are opposed to its mate
rial increase, even though our pos
sessions are growing very fast, and
the needs for a large military force
seem imperative. | have what L think
is a plain that will solve the problem
to the satisfaction of everybody.
While our people as a whole may be
opposed TO a large military estab-
lishment in time of peace, yet it is
plain that our militia as now organ
lied is hardly sufficient to meet the
needs of the country in an emergency
like that which confronted us when
we declared war against Spain. Had
Spain been "A frst-class power we
would have felt our need very sorely
at that time.
"What / would advise" he contin-
ued, sis the appropriation by the ma
ihonal government of sum each
year sufficient to make the militia
strong in number and efficient in
drill and discipline. This could best
be done by providing for a 80 or even
a 80 days encampment for the militia
in each state each year, the national
government paying the officers and
men taking part salaries equal to
those paid in the regular army for
the same period, each encampment to
be under the command of some COM
petent officer of the regular army.
"In so days man can learn some
thing about soldering, especially as
to how to take care of himself in
camp and on the march. We would
thus in a few years have a great
army of. say 25o,ooO men, ready to
mobilize on a few days notice, and
almost as effective as regulars.
THE encampments should be held
during the school holidays, and this
would attract to the militia the stu
dents from the high schools, acad-
emies, colleges and universities, al
ways desirable for soldiers. BY adopt
ing this plan the standing army could
be kept at a minimum and the gov
ernment would still have at its call
large and well-disciplined force of
citizen soldiers"

ABOUT ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Ihe Principle Upon which This Great
Commodity IL Manu-
fnctured.

The principle upon which the manu-
facture OF ice is based is that a gas,
when compressed. gathers heat enor-
mously, and if robbed of this heat and
allowed to escape at future time, it
seeks to regain it's heat by withdraw
ing heat from its surroundings. Am
monia gas is generally preferred to
others, because it can be liquified
with comparatively little pressure.
On removing the water from common
ammonia by distillaticn, anhydrous
ammonia is obtained. This is COM
pressed by a combiucd steam pump
and a compresscr, and the resulting
liquefactiou induces heat, which is
economized by circulating water aOout
the vessel or pipe containing the liqui-
fed ammonia. Thus the ammonia is
cooled and the heat largely trans
feryed TO the water, which is thtn
pumped back to the boiler that sup
plies the steam pump. The liquid am
monia is then carried in a pipe to eX-
panson coils that afford plenty Of
room for its vaporation, when it be-
gins to return to the gaseous form
and to draw heat from IS surround
ings-which gradually reduces the
mptrature. Proper vessels of wa
ter are placed in contact with the eX.
pansion coils and in due time ice is
formed

Washington, Jan. 23.-Tne report
of the interstate commerce commission
was transmitted to congress today.
1t urgently repeats the request for the
power to reach the evils which are not
amenable under the present laws.
Regarding the recent Investigations
into the movement of packing house
products, the report says "It must be
both surprising and offensive to all
right minded persons to know that the
leading traffic officials of many of the
principal railways should deliberate
ly violate the statute and in some cas-
es even agree with others to do so
that it should be necessary to destroy
vouchers and manipulate books to o b.
literate evidence: that hundreds of
thousands of dollars should be paid
out as unlawful rebates to few great
packers, that the business of railway
transportation, paying out the highest
salaries and holding out toyoung men
the greatest of any inducements,
should be operated to a certain ex-
tent in direct opposition to the law.
Equally startling is he fact that the
owners of these packing honses, men
whose names are known throughout
the commercial world should seeming
lySbe eager to Argument their gains
with enormous rebates received in
violation of the federal statutes"
The commission vigorously COM
mems on he factthat.the court has de-
cided that corporation is not liable
for such violation of the law but the
agent alone.

jams Cnn Teach Us,

In the manner of repairs those won
derful followers Of principle and truth
in art, the japanese, have a lesson to
teach us, says the Connoisseur. When
a japanese connoisseur breaks some
precious piece of pottery or porcelain,
he does not throw it away with dis
dain; neither does he try to deceive the
casual observer into the belief that it
is unbroken. Instead, he has it joined
together, generally with gold lacquer,
in such fashion that the fracture is
boldly shown and commented on, as it
were, by the frank exposition of the
method by which it is made good.
Curiously enough, a distinctly new al d
charmingly decorative effect is in most
cases added by these irregular gold
lines, while the sense of craftsmanship
is tickled by the marvellous skill exhib-
tied by the repairer in thus welding to-
gether the two dissimilar materials.
Truth is preserved at no loss of ar
tistic beauty; indeed, once more it is
made clear that the two may always
walk hand in hand.

A FLY WHEEL BURSTS

piece weighing nearly ton, was
thrown entirely over the malt house,

crashed through the side of Herman

looks like it had been struck by a 13-
inch shell. One piece weighing at
least 300 pounds was found half way
to Walter S. Dickey's drain tile fac
tory half mile east. Fortunately no
one was hurt as no workmen were
about the engine house at the time,
and the damage to the building and
machinery will not exceed $3.50.
The engine was uninjured except as

says:
"The indirect effect of its temporary

in breaking commercial connections

CANAL BOATS FOR MANILA.
Bnrges shipped from the Erie Canal
TO lie Used on the Pnsig
River.

The easy-going native bargemen OF

like surprise when few months hence
they see towed into their harbor 10
Erie canal boats, sent by the Philip
pine transportation company, reports
;he New York Tribune. For several
years these barges have been in use
on the Erie canal. Now they have
been towed over to the Morgan iron
works at Ninth street and the East
river, where they are being carefully
pulled apart preparatory to shipping
them to the orient. Piece by piece the
decks are being pulled up on the pier
ready to be slowed away into the holds
of huge steamers, there to remain un-
til once more put together in Hong
Kong From there they will be towed
across the China sea. down the Luzon
coast and into Manila harbor.
Large steamers cannot approach
within two miles of the shore in Manila
bay For this reason it has always
been necessary to send out cascos, or
lighters, in which the cargoes are
transported up the Pasig river 20 the
city. These cascoes are small and
natives, who will not work u'.til their
supply OF cash runs short. The iron
canal boats are capable OF holding FIVE
or six times more cargo than any cas-
60, and the 10 together could put all
the cascos of Manila harbor into their
