NEW PACIFIC CABLE OPEN
Roosevelt and Taft Exchange Greet.
ings Under the Sea
An Electrical Girdie Put Around the
Earth in Twelve Minutes-An
Epoch Making Event.

New York City.-At last Puck'f
much talked Of girdle around the world
has been completed. That this was
true was demonstrated at Oyster Bay
when Clarence H. Mackay, President
of the Commercial Pacific Gable Com.
pany, received from President Roose-
welt at 11.35 p. nj. a message directed
to him and dispatched from the same
office DIT 11.23 p. M. The world had
been circled in twelve minutes, and all
records had been broken. This was
not the first message sent over the new
Pacific cable, however, for one sent
by President Roosevelt was dispatched
to Governor Taft at Manila 1T 1880
p. M, and a reply received at lilo
p. m. President Roosevelt raj not at
the dispatching Office, but was in tele-
ph0nic communication with it at his
| Sycamore Hill home.
The best previous time made in send
ing a message around the world was
on May Is, 1896, when Chauncey NJ.
| Depew sent a message from the Ma
tional Electric Exposition, at the Grand
| Central Palace in this city-time, fifty
! minutes. The message was sent to
San Francisco, then back to New York,
| then by Atlantic around the world to
Toxic, and the same way back to New
York. 1t was the best way a message
| could be sent at that time.
There had been some delay in landing
the cable at Honolulu because of the
surf resulting from a storm off the
Hawaiian group, and as the hours
| passed it looked as if the cable might
not be opened on July 4, as planned.
About 10 o'clock, however, Mr.. Mackay
was informed that the cable bad at
last successfully been landed at Homo
lulu at $50 p. M, New York time; that
trial messages had been exchanged be-
tween that point and the Midway ISL
ands, the last points remaining to be
connected.
Already President R~ooseyelt's mes
sage to Governor Taft had been sent,
and preparations were made for send
ing President Ro0sevelt's message to
Mr.. Mackay. This was dispatched at
11.23 p. M, from the executive offices
in Moore's Block, Oyster Bay. Those
present when this epochmaking mes
sage was sent, besides Mr.. Mackay,
were Secretary and Mrs. Loeb, and AS
sistant Secretary D. 2. Barnes. MI.
Mackay received the message at 11.35
p. m. He filed a reply to President
Roosevelt, which was received within
the space of nine minutes, breaking
the record Just made. The message
from the President went westward
over the Pacific, returning by the At
lantic, while the reply from Mr..
Mackay went over the Atlantic, return
ing by the Pacific. This evened mat
tiers, for the day which had been lost
in sending the message in m direction
had been counterbalanced by the day
gained in sending the other in the OPP
posite direction.

Herder's Faithful Dog.

The herder's dog is even Of more Inn
portance than any other semploye in
the business. He is fed but once a day
and that at night. These dogs are
generally Of the breed known as
Scotch %collies, although there are some
valuable dogs of mixed herds. The
collie is the most intelligent OF can
ines. He is always on the alert and is
even more watchful in his carr of the
sheep than in his master and an old
dog, tried and true, needs nc instruc-
ton as to the best methods Of handling
sheep. AS a rule he works quietly
and slowly, but knows when to walk
and when to run. when to bark and
when to keep a silent tongue, and will
do more in handling a band of sheep
than three men could do. Without
him a herder would be helpless. Soil
tude binds the herder and his dog to-
gether in a friendship that is lasting.
Each understands the intelligence Of
the other. The dog must always be
treated with the utmost kindness, for
if ill-treated he will refuse to work or
leave the camp and never return. If
the herder fails to wake at night when
the sheep are disturbed by bear, noun
tain lion, or coyote, the faithful dog
will wake him and together they turn
out and either kill or drive away the
marauder.-Detroit Free Press.

CU7lcURA
OINTMENT
Puresi Of EmOINents and
Greatest of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Toftuing, DisfiguTing
Skin HunOurs
And Purest and Sweetest Of
Toilet EmOIIients.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
Ing, disfiguringh hmours Of the skin and
scalp, including loss Of hair, ever
compounded, in proof of which a
single amounting preceded bya hot bath
with Cuticura Soap, and followed in
tbs severer cases, by a dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, Is often sufficient to
afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms Of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permit rest and
sleep, and point to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
30 in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet,
from infancy to age, far effect
ually, agreeably and economically than
the most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies, or Sanative ,antiseptic cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment Of the
hands or feet" or " Single treatment
of the hair" or "Use after athletics"
cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring,
or any sport, each in connection with
the use Of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient

House Of Lords Membership.

The British House of Lords has long
since ceased to be a strictly hereditary
body. Over 200 of its 500 members
owe their presence to other causes
than descent. Quite a number of the
hereditary lords are debarred from
voting by the fact that they are either
minors, undischarged bankrupts, or in
mates Of Iunatic asylums. The non
hereditary lords comprise the arch
bishops and bishops of the Church OF
England and those who have been
created peers by Queen Victoria and
King Edward for special services rem
