INDIA INK.
The Way the Kind Used In China
and Japan Is Made.

The Way the Kind Used In China
and Japan Is Made.
India ink, much used in China and
Japan for writing with small brushes
on soft paper and made extensively in
China since $50 3. c., consists of a
mixture of carbon and gum, with the
addition of a little musk or Borneo
camphor to give it the characteristic
odor. The preparation of this simple
ink is by no means easy, for If the ma
terials are not of the best quality and
II the carbon is not as finely divided
as possible an inferior ink will be the
result. After the carbon and gum have
been mixed the product has to be slow
ly and carefully dried. The high polish
is said to be produced with tree wax.
Europeans have produced ink equal
If not superior to the genuine Chinese
article. The reason why the manufac-
ture has remained chiefly in eastern
hands is an interesting one. The bust
ness instinct of the European maker
prompts him to seize any opportunity
Of substituting cheaper raw materials
and so lowering the quality of his ink,
while the tendency Of the Chinaman is
to work on in the same groove and
this case his hidebound conservatism
Is rOfitable.-LOndOn Mail.

AN ODD CHARACTER.
The Queer Freaks of an English
Poet and Clergyman.

The Queer Freaks of an English
Poet and Clergyman.
Robert Steven Hawker, poet and
vicar of NOrwenstow, England was an
eccentric person. In his younger days
he used to daub the village physicians
horse with stripes of paint until the
animal looked like a zebra and then
summon the physician hastily to an
urgent case miles away in the country.
Two elderly women whom he disliked
he is said to have driven out of the
town by sending all the undertakers in
Plymouth to measure them for their
collins.
~ His marriage, too was out of the or
binary. It happened while he was at
Oxford. His father told him that he
could not afford to keep him there any
longer. HaWker at once set out to the
home of his godmother, Miss Charlotte
Fans, twenty-one years his senior and
the pOSSeSS0r of an annuity Of $1,000
He is said to have run from StrattOn
to Bude, arriving hot and blown" and
proposed to her She accepted him.
He returned to Oxford a married man
and won a fellowship. The marriage
was happy one.
When his wife died HaWker wore at
her funeral pink hat without bri1n
But this was in no disrespect to her
memory so happened that it was
his usual headgear at that time.

Of the system 1t has grown to an ap-
preparation of over $20,0O0,00O under
the friendly encouragement and ag-
gressive business policy of Republican
administrations. No other one thing
could have been of such great benefit
to the farmer; it has placed him In
daily communication with the world,
and from the seclusion Of farm life
he energies and becomes part and
parcel of this great nation and is not
only able to read of the doings
throughout the world, but the facilities
afforded for frequent and prompt COM
municatiOn enable him to take part in
it's affairs. The farmer is now rec
ognized as big, broadminded bust
ness man, and the discovery is due to
the rural free delivery system, es-
tablished and fostered by the Repub-
lican party.
The Republican party has always
been aggressively I'm favor of legisla-
ton for the benefit of farmers, and
membered when the farmer casts his
vote.
The platforms of the REPUBLICAN and
Democratic parties are so similar on
important subjects that the conclusion
is inevitable that the latter followed
the former for vote tching purposes,
and that the Democratic party is in
sincere and asking support under false
representations, and the former never
favors or supports tnsincerity or
fraud.

Mozart Relics.

The small and old fashioned Mozart
house is in the middle of Salzburg. It
is with a feeling of respect, visitor
the spot says, that one climbs the three
flights of stairs and enters the room
where Mozart was born All the an
cient pictures, the two old pianos and
many relics belonging to the composer
take one back a hundred years. The
only Earring note in this harmonious
association of memories is that Mo-
center of the room, all that remains Of
him, since no one could ever distin-
guish his body in the mass of remains
in the common paupers' grave wherein
he was buried In Vienna. - London

HABITS OF THE ANT.
The Sleeping, the Waking and the
Toilet Before Work.


Toilet Before Work.
During sleep the ants body is quite
STILL Occasionally may be noted a reg
ular lifting up and setting down of the
fore feet, one leg after another, with
almost rhythmic motion. The antennae
also have a gentle, quivering, appar
emily involuntary movement, almost
like breathing. The soundness of slum-
Der was frequently proved by applying
the feather end of quill. The feather
tip is lightly drawn along the back,
stroking with the fur" There is no
motion. Again and again this action is
repeated, the stroke being made grad
The strokes are directed upon the head,
with the same result Then the feath-
er is applied to the neck with waving
motion intended to tickle it. The ant
remains motionless. Finally the sleep
er is aroused by a sharp touch of the
quill. She stretches out her head, then
her legs, which she shakes also; steps
nearer to the light, yawns and begins
to comb her antennae and brush her
head and mouth. Then she chambers
over her sleeping comrades. dives into
an open gangway and soon has said
Good morning" to another tour of
duty. Be it we'll noted, however, that
she has gone to work, as she and all
her fellows always do, not only rested,
but with her person perfectly clean!-

Export of Manufactures,

Figures recently issued by the de-
partment of commerce and labor at
Washington show that during the
month of July last our exports of
manufactures amounted to $4,000
900, against $31,OOO,0OO of agricultural
products. During June the exports
Of manufactures were nearly $41OOO,-
900, against $37, 100000 of agricultural
products. This is the first time in the
history Of the country that the ex-
ports Of manufactures have exceeded
those Of the farm. This does not
mean that the exports of farm prod
ucts are falling off, but that those of
manufactures have greatly increased.
This Is due to a protective tariff
which, while it benefits American
manufactures also increase the home
demand for American farm products.

A SIGN OF PROSPERITY

There is no better criterion Of gen.
eral prosperity than the postal bust
ness. When times are good the postal
revenue Increases, and vice versa. The
report Of the postmaster general shows
that for the year ending July /, 1895,
the receipts from postal revenue were
SIG, 900. For the year ending July
1, 1902, they were $119,95S, 229, an
increase of 81 per cent. during seven
years Of continuous Republican rule
During the year ending July 1, 1895,
the receipts from the money order
business were $S12,O3S; for the year
ending July l, 1902, they were ST.
SS9,S17, an increase Of 1873 per cent.
during seven years of Republican pros
perity.
The postmaster general in his an
nual report for 1902 said: 1.-The in
crease in the postal revenues attests
the wonderful prosperity of the peo-
pie and the activity of business inter
ests throughout the county" 1t
would not have been proper for the
postmaster general in an official re-
port to attribute this wonderful pros
perity in 1902 to the operation of the
Dingley tariff law and other Republi-
can measures, but such was the fact.

Taggart's Proph ecies.

4 tip to Republicans. Don't be scared
by Chairman Taggart's prophecies OF
claims regarding. the political out
look. In 1894, when he was chairman
Of the Democratic state central COM
mittee in Indiana. he claimed the
state by 10000 votes up to the night
before the election. The next day the
Republicans carried it by $4,000 plural
tty.
Perhaps the policy of projections
has made business prosperity more
dependent upon politics than it would
have been otherwise, but it certainly
has contributed more largely than
anything else to our extraordinary
and unpa ralleled progress.

TREATMENTS BALL A
 SPLENDID SUCCESS
FULLY 300 PEOPLE ATTENDED AND SOMETHING LIKE $1oo0 WAS REALIZED FROM THE SALE OF TICKETS.

The third annual ball of the Birming- ham Firemens Relier association was given at the city hall last night, and was by far the most successful ever held. The dance hall was well filled the entire even ing, and in the balcony, where about 300 seats were placed for the spectators, there were probably 250 people.
 The grand march was led by Mayor Drennen and Mrs. A. V. Bennett wife of Captain Bennett of the fire department, and at least twelve aldermen were in the march with partners.
 The committee on arrangements had everything carefully planned, and there was no hitch anywhere. It is estimated that there were at least 800 people in the hall during the evening. They were con stantly going and coming, so that at no time was the crowd too large for com fort.
 Probably 5000 will be realized by the relief association as a result Of the bail, and this will go to the fund for the ald of sick or injured firemen.

:nuncate with every one of the policemen in short space of time
 In few months the telephone system will be enlarged to fifty phones. These are placed in small iron boxes on tele ! phone poles, and every policeman will be provided with a key to the boxes. The exchange outfit has arrived and Is being set up. It will be about a week before the system is in working order, as number of connections have to be made.
 The system will greatly improve the efficiency of the department. It will have the effect of adding a dozen policemen to the force at comparatively little cost. As soon as the work Is completed Chief Wier will place more men on bicycles in the residence portions of the city and this will give these sections much better pro- lection. He will be able to keep check on the men at all hours.

police telephone system is being in- Peoples Home Telephone company, which secured the contract several weeks ago
 The system is a private one and is be- Ing put in for the convenience or the po- lice department. There will be at present thirty stations in various parts of the city, So that the policemen can communi- cate direct with the office of the chief at all hours of the day and night. Most of these stenons are in the outside beats, where the patrolmen have long distances to cover, and they will be required to call up the office of Chief Wier at stated in- tervals of time from certain stations. In this manner the chief will be able to com
