Influence Of Rulers.

It is difficult TO exaggerate the value
of such mutual courtesies as these as
regards their effect upon international
relations. In every civilized country OF
the world, no matter what the form of
its government, the final and ultimate
direction of its foreign policy rests with
the ruler, be he king, emperor, or presf-
dent OF Il republic. The control OF the
foreign affairs OF the United States ema-
mates not from the State Department,
nor yet from the Senate, but from the
White House; and so it is everywhere in
Europe. the ministers OF foreign affairs
and even the premier in such matters
as these taking their orders and their
instructions from the ruler.
Neither in England, nor yet in Ger

tinent. can important dispatches be

foreign policy without having received

STANDARD TIME.

Its Origin and the Arrangement of
It's Dividing Lines.
Standard lime is system arranged
by the railroads Of the United States
and Canada originally. The purpose
was 10 do away with the multitude Of
different "times" used In bushes /;
which affected the railways and in
opera. ting the lines. The territory In
which these railroads lay was divided
into belts running north and south and
about Is degrees wide, from east to
west; In every such division of the
country NIL railway business was to
be done on the same time. In the mari
time provinces Of Canada and part of
Maine the time used was that of the
siXtieth meridian west Of Greenwich.
In the rest Of New England and as far
west US Pittsburg and Buffalo the time
fixed was that of the seventy-fifth
meridian, which is the time of Wash
ington. The next belt westward was
ninetieth meridian time. which Is about

KOREA'S SEVEN WONDERS
The Most Peculiar of Them II the
Famous Floating Stone.

The Most Peculiar of Them II the
Famous Floating Stone.
Eorea, like the world Of the ancients,
has its "seven wonders" Briefly
stated, they ure as follows: First, hot
mineral spring near Kinshantao, the
healing properties Of which are be-
lieved to be miraculous. No matter
what disease may afiiict the patient, a
dip in the water proves etticacious.
The second wonder is two springs
situated at q considerable distance
from each other. In fact, they have
the breadth of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
tiles. When one is full the other Is
empty, and Notwithstanding the OBJ
vious fact that they are connected by
a subterranean passage one Is OF the
bitterest bitter and the other pure
sweet.
The third wonder Is Cold Wind cave,
a cavern from which wintry wind
perpetually blows. The force of wind
from the cave Is such that a strong
man cannot stand before 1t.
A forest that cannot be eradicated Is
the fourth wonder. No matter what
Injury Is done the roots Of the trees
which are large pines, they Will sprout
up again directly, like the phenix from
Its ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful or
all. 1t is the famous floating stone"
It stands, or seems to stand, in front OF
the palace erected in its honor. 1t Is
an irregular cube Of great bulk. 1t up
pears to be resting on the ground, free
from support on oil sides; but. strange
to say, two men at opposite ends OF a
rope may pass 1t under the stone with
out encountering any obstacle what
ever!
The sixth wonder Is the "hot stone,'
which from remote ages has lain glow
Ing with heat on the top Of high hill.
The seventh and last Korean wonder
is drop Of the sweat Of Buddha. For
thirty PAGES around the large temple
I'm which 1t is enshrined not q blade OF
grass will grow. There are no trees
or flowers inside the sacred square.

Accident at Hicks Crossing.
ALBERT d. PARK AND MRS. JAMES Il.
TUCKER BADLY SHAKEN UP.

A margin of about second is all that
saved having worse story to tell of an
accident at Hicks Crossing, Tuesday
| afternoon. When Albert ID. Park, Regis
ter of Probate, drove home from the
court house that afternoon he took into
his carriage Mrs. Tucker, wife of Jailer
James r. Tucker, who was going on an
errand to Miss Bonney's, opposite the
Norway Pine Grove Cemetery.
As they neared Hicks Crossing the
Norway train came along on its trip to
Norway from the down train. As those
familiar with the situation know, the
street and the railroad approach here at
an acute angle, and near the apex of the
angle is small set of buildings. Eugi-
neer Anderson of the Norway train saw
and supposed Mr.. Park would stop be-
fore reaching the crossing; and it was
not until after the engine had got by the
buildings mentioned that he realized
this was not the case. He then stopped
the train as quickly as possible.
Neither Mr.. Park nor Mrs. Tucker
had noticed the approach of the train
until about the time it came in sight by
the buildings. Mr.. Park realized that it
was too late To stop, and he hit his horse
Il sharp cut with the whip, hoping to get
over. The horse jumped forward, but
the team lacked few inches of clearing
the train, and the engine struck few
inches inside the rim of the rear wheel,
setting the carriage around and throw
ing Mr.. Park out. He hung To the reins
and was dragged until the horse, having
turned sideways, ran the carriage
against telephone pole, wrecking it.
Mr.. Park was dragged violently against
the pole, and Mrs. Tucker was thrown
over the dasher with considerable force.
Mr.. Park got up Immediately, but after
taking few steps tainted. Later he re-
covered sufficiently to get home. Both
were of course very badly bruised and
shaken up, though no bones were brok-
en-.
Both Mr.. Park and Mrs. Tucker were
SO severely bruised and shaken up that
they were barely able to move for several
days. They are now improving, and
are able to get around somewhat, though
still very lame.

Mr.. Dana lives in farm house in West
Lubec, on the ancestral farm of his
wife's people. He came to Maine some
20 years ago, when the opening OF the

of the managers, work in the mines
ceased and Mr.. Dana settled down to the
