Four little boys from as many different

A sharp contest between the temperance

cations for license have been defeated.
Friends of a man who was prevented
by remonstrance from opening q sa.oon

Labor and Liquor.

The following extracts are from an arti-
Gle on the subject read by Mrs. Bosworth,
of Evanston, ILL.,, before a recent meet
ing of the Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety:
during a conversation with a manager
of one OF the factories at Chicago Heights
the other day, he told me that the aver
age wages of their laborers were from 81
to S2.25 per day; that the majority re-
ceived about Sl.65 per day, and that two
thirds of their employees we're foreigners,
and the average family Of children was
five, and about one-half Of their earnings
these men spent in the saloons.
Chicago Heights is a typical factory
town, twentyseven. miles from Chicago,
road. 1t has population of about. 5000
inhabitants, and yet seventy-two salooa
live and thrive within its Limits and are
able to pay $500 per year liquor license"

Best Apples Sold in Boxes.

In the fruit trade it is no longer
the thing to order 4 barrel Of apples,
If you wish to get the best. Only in
ferior apples are packed and shipped
In barrels, either for home or export
trade. Fruit growers have discovered
that they can get from S3 to 81 a box
for apples that will bring only IS If
sold in a barrel; and Il barrel will hold
three times as many apples rs 4 box.
From August to October apples over
shadow all other fruits in the New
York export trade. The commission
houses handle $4,000 boxes and gU'-
900 barrels every week. The demand
for American apples in England in
creases every year. More than one
half the apples brought to New York
City are exported. Kings, Baldwins,
Greetings and Ben Davis apples are
the surest sellers. The best of them
come from Lockport. The New York
Central pier, North River, which does
not cut any figure in the general fruit
trade, is the centre of the wholesale
apple business.-New York Times.

Uses of Waste Paper.

it can be kept in very good coDd-

like silver. Paper is better than a

Efficacy of Turkish Censorship.

Frequent testimony has been borne
to the vigilance and intelligence Of the
Turkish censorship, but it would be
difficult, remarks the Westminster
Gazette, to match the most recent in
stance. A German engineer in the
Lebanon district placed an order for
an electrical engine with Paris firm.
1t was to be delivered Immediately.
The firm telegraphed to inquire how
many revolutions a minute. Five
hundred revolutions" he telegraphed
back. Next day he was arrested on
charge Of treasonous correspondence
with a firm in Paris. AS he was able
to assure the local officials Of the
innocence of his motives no diplomatic
incident has followed.

To Preserve Brushes.

Good hairbrushes are costly items,
and a way to keep the bristles stiff
and clean for years Is worth knowing.
A Russian coiffeur gives this recipe:
Have ready two basins; put a lump
of soda the size Of 4 walnut in one
and three parts fill it with boiling
water; the other basin should be three
parts filled with water as cold as you
can get 1t, to which you have added
sufficient lemon juice or good white
vinegar to give it a noticeably acid
taste. Shake the bristles Of the brush
we'll up and down in the boiling water
till they are clean, then at once rinse
them thoroughly in the cold water and
stand them up to dry in the air or in
a warm place, but not too near the
fire. OF course. the back Of the brushes
must not be wetted.

William Penn's Compass
lnhkeeper Showed Instrument Which
Belonged to Colonizer.

Some time ago. while botanizin5
along the Usage River, in central Mis-
| souri,, the writer stopped over night at
Gladstone, small town in the south
ern part of Morgan County. The To-
quacious landlord Of the little inn, in
his anxious endeavors to make the time
pass agreeably. recited many war rem
i1iscences. and incidentally dropped
the information that an Old surveyors
compass. with an interesting history,
was greatly priced relic of family
of that vicinity. Interest in the story
was intensified when he further stated
that the c. tmpass was once the prop
erty of William Penn. and that there
was much tradition and some recorded
evidence to prove that it was the iden.
tical instrument with which the nu-
cleus of the present city Of Philadel-
phia was first surveyed.
"The name Of the family which owns
this rare historical treasure" said the
landlord, 'is McNeal, and they live
upon small farm in the northern
part Of Camden County. six miles south
of this place"
On the folloVing day the pleasures
of the botanical fields were forsaken.

Lesson to Bumptious Newspapers.

There is really no necessity for the
New York papers to poke fun at the
personal columns Of their country con-
temporaries. 1t is quite as interesting
for the readers of the Pineville Poker
to learn through the columns Of that
valuable news medium that Peter Per.
kins Is painting his henhouse green as
it Is for the patrons Of the New York
daily newspapers to be informed that
Mrs. Vanderbilt has a new gown or
that Mr.. Astor is putting a. new front
on his Newport villa. The plutocracy
of Pineville is just as important-to
Pineville-as is the millionocracy OF
