power TO help the movement along.
That's the inexplicable p. TT of it.
But, it is said, half the success of
good generaIship results from the
enemy's blunders, and that is prob
ably true in politics as well as in
war. .~~
No one, with true appreciation
of political movements, can help but
admire the skill and strategy of the
Gooding -Stanrod forces. They are
playing the game for all it is worth
in true sportsmanlike manner. 1t
is liberal education in practical
politics to observe the plays, and
note the points made. True, they
may not accomplish all they wish to,
but nobody can say that they did
not do all that could be done Under
the circumstances.

A Correction.

Some years ago a relative of our
leader and teacher, the Rev.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, a member OF
the Mcneil family from which Mrs
Eddy descended, reported that the
Right Hon. Sir John McNeill, G.
c. B., of Edinburgh, Scotland was
her ancestors.
The source Of information SEEM
ed to be authentic. and the state
ment was accepted and used in
good faith by writers on Mrs.
Eddy's genealogy.
Mrs. Eddy has had this matter
carefully investigated and having
obtained no positive proof that the
Right Hon. Sir John McNeill was
her ancestor, she requests that all
others writing upon her biography
shall in the future notice this cor
rection.
General John Mcneil, who is
known as hero of Lundy's Lane,
was relative on Mrs. Eddy's faith
ers side of the Baker family, and
he was the brother of President
Pierce's mother. This is probably
the line of McNeils to which Mrs.
Eddy belongs. Mrs. Eddy herself
has no special interest in these SUBJ
jects.

An Industry DESTROYED

In 1883 the United States i'm
ported 4,2oq,oIS pounds of raw
silk. In 1908 the imports had in
creased to 15,27o,353 pounds.
This country now supplies its,in.
habitants with the bulk of silk fab
RIGS used by them, although it still
imports a tidy quantity of very
high grade textiles from France
and Germany. Curious1y enough,
while the silk textile industry has
waxed strong in this country under
protection, the free admission into
Great Britain of silk goods has de-
stroyed the once f1ourishing silk
industry of that nation.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES
/ Merchants Should Meet Them
With Advertising

There is great deal of talk
about the mail order houses, but do
you know there is not one of them
that you can honestly say that it
can sell goods cheaper than the
home merchants? It is not the
price that sells thu goods, but the
plausible reason for the price
plausible statement. You mer-
chants can beat them out every
time. Meet them with the same
kind of advertising. The oatmeal
business is an illustration OF what
can be done to make people buy an
article they never intended to buy.
People were opposed to oatmeal
and said it was horse feed. The
manufacturer had to present the
advantages of its healthfulness, and
be invested oatmeal with all the
desirable qualities. There is a
man in Battle Creek who, it is said,
has created a market for corncobs,
and you people pay more for your
Postum Cereal than you do for
coffee. A mixture of corncobs and
syrup is made valuable by virtue Of
advertising.
An advertisement would show
the individuality of the merchant
who puts it out. Avoid cleverness
An advertisement which attracts
attention to the way it is presented
1nstea. of he ar:i>Ie advertised is
not fulfilling its purposes. Avoid
appeal to prejudices. Don't lug in
outside matters. The secret of the
success of the Spolless Town adver-
Using is that it never loses sight of
the idea of cleanliness-T. l..

Beautifying the Prince.

Perhaps the most interesting
small boy in the world is little
Prince Micchi, grandson of the
Japanese Mikado, and destined
himself to he Mikado some day.
He will be 4 years old in April.
The heir presumptive to the
great Eastern throne has the dis
tinction of being the first baby of
the royal house of Jimmu Tenno
who has been allowed to grow his
hair like an English baby. Both
his father and Mikado, when ba-
bies, had their heads shaved daily
by their nurses.
Soon after the Princes birth
measures were taken to eliminate
the Edmond eye'' of the race. A
painless surgical operation was
performed. An incision was made
on the outer point of the baby's
eyelids in a straight line for the
barest part of an inch. The lashes
were then drawn into shape and
held firmly by piece of chemically
prepared sticking plaster.
The wound healed in less than a
week, and the effect now is that
Prince Micchi does not look his
Orien tai birth.
The Prince rides a Shetland
pony, and it is interesting to note
that his toys are miniature battle
ships.
Now that Bishop Woolley has
been confirmed as assayer NAV be
the Statesman will put an end to
its silly vaporings over the ap-
pointment. We know it is hard
when one sets his mind upon being
relieved of a decrepit incubus upon
ones bounty by having it fostered
upon public pap, to have someone
else step in and leave our tavorite
In the cold. The Statesman is too
good a newspaper to be spoiled by
the continuation of the old maid
policy it has put forth during the
assay Office appointment squabble.

Cannibals Are Epicures.

A story regarding a converted can
nibal is told in the English papers. A
negro clergyman was entertained at
tea by the president of a college. The
guest, who came from West Africa,
retailed some particulars of his carly
life, when a woman asked him how he
became a Christian. The story Of
Jezebel converted me-" he answered;
you know, we are told the dogs did
not touch the palms of her hands.
Well that convinced me of the truth
of the narrative, for we never eat
the palms of the hands in my Coun-
try. They are too bitter"

Alone,

Alone when the day Is dawning,
Alone when the night dews fall;
Under the veil at the bridal
Under the SOON of the pail.
Behind impenetrable barriers
To work out its life of dole
From Its first faint cry till the hour to
die
Is the doom of each mortal soul.
Firat tender thoughts OF the mother
Who brings US forth in pain,
As she looks in the eyes of her off,
spring
Some clew tn its soul to gain.
"Of what is my baby thinking.
With that gaze intent and wiser"
But ever remains the mystery,
And never a voice replies
Alone Is the child in his sorrow
over the broken toy:
Alone IL the stricken lover
Mourning a vanished Joy;
Alone IL the bride al the altar.
Alone the bridegroom stands,
With his hidden life between them,
Thlt-and their plighted hands
Alone lies the wife, with the canker
or blighted hope in her heart:
Alone Is the husband dreaming
OF baked ambitions smart:
And so from the birth to the burial
From the first to the latest breath,
In crowded streets, on lonely sleeps,
The soul goes alone till death.

SAID CABLE WOULDN'T SINK.
Many Persons Thought Water Was
Too Dense,


When 1t was first proposed to lay
marine cable many intelligent people
said it would not sink to the bottom,
but would remain suspended at a GER
tain depth because of the density OF
the water due to pressure from above.
or course the pressure increases with
the depth on all sides Of the cable In
its descent through the sea, but as
practically everything on earth is
more compressible than water 1t
is obvious that the iron wire,
yarn, gutta.percha and copper con-
ductor forming the cable must be
more compressed as they descend.
Thus the cable constantly increases
in density, or specific gravity, in go
ing down, while the equal bulk OF wa.
ter surrounding 1t continues to have,
practically speaking, very nearly the
same specific gravity as at the sur
face without this valuable property
of water the hydraulic press would
not exist
