An Author Pensioncd.

Two British authors are ut present
IN the public eyes on account of pen
slons they are receiving. Joseph Con-
rad has $1,000 from the British So
ciety Of Authors, which generosity is
explained by the fact that the au-
thor, whose writings are among those
IN greatest demand by the publishers
to-day, yet seems to have difficulty in
providing for his daily wants, says
the New York Globe. The immediate
reason for the pension, moreover, was
the accidental burning Of a manu-
script, which catastrophe so depressed
Mr.. Conrad that his friends thought
1t wise to relieve him from the ne
cessity Of anything SO humdrum and
sordid as looking out for his bread and
butter.
The case of Conrad can hardly fail
to recall that of Carlyle, who, when
Mill brought the disastrous news Of
the destruction Of complete book Of
the Revolution" spent the evening in
attempting to cheer the culprit-and
then set about the rewriting.

To-day the lot of the laboring man
in Germany is in many respects better
than that Of ours. The German state
recognizes the right Of every man to
l:ve-we do not. When the German
laborer becomes old or feeble the state
pensions him honorably In Germany
the laboring man can ride on the cleo
trio cars for 2 cents-we pay 5. Ger
man cities have public baths, public
laundry establishments, big parks, free
concerts and many other features
which soften poyerty-although they
do not remove it.
The corollary to this is that the en-
peror permits no tramps to terrorize
his highways. The police are organ
lied for rural patrol as we'll as city
work. and every loafer is stopped and
made to give an account of himself.
In England vagrancy has been pub
lie nuisance for generations-with us
it has become Of late years almost a
public danger. Germany has 10

Mailed Himself by Post.

The limit Of weight for parcel per
parcel post in England is eleven
pounds. No doubt, then, some reader
will be surprised that under certain
conditions the postoffice will undertake
to safely deliver weights many times
In excess Of that stated in the regula-
lions.
One day last year a city gentleman
called at St Martins lie Grand, in Lon
don, with the object Of consulting a
directory and finding the address of a
customer who lived in remote part of
BALKAN. He was not acquainted with
the locality and was most anxious to
see his customer at once. These facts
he mentioned to an obliging clerk be-
hind the counter.
He was at once informed that he
could be sent to the required address
'sby registered post at fee Of 8
pence a mile. The gentleman gladly
accepted the offer, and in less than a
minute found himself in charge Of a
smart messenger boy, who very soon
guided him by the shortest route to his
destination.
The boy carried In his hand a print
ed slip with description Of his charge
under the heading article required to
be delivered" and this he required the
gentleman and customer to sign be-
fore he left the latter's house.
It is probable that very few people
are aware Of the regulation under
which this curious postal transaction
YVES accomplished. 1t reads thus: "a
person may be conducted by express
messenger to any address on payment
Of mileage fee"

CHEERFUL LITTLE CRIPPLE.
Passers-by Smiled and Pitied Him il
Crowded Louisville Street.

Passers-by Smiled and Pitied Him in
Crowded Louisville Street.
Spinning along the concrete sidewalk
at speed that made pedestrians
dodge into 6oorways and off the curb
ing flew a mite Of a boy in his veloci-
pede wagon, says a writer in the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. The pedals were
gone, and second glance was neces-
sary to learn by what power the ma
chine was propelled. The wagon was
propelled by the left hand of the little
cripple, while his right hand deftly
guided this new style Of automobile
and prevented mishaps, though the
way was crowded. Lying Imply in
the bottom Of the wagon bed and quiv-
ering with the speed of the locomotive
were the legs of the little sufferer,
withered.
The sun was shining brightly and
the crowd was in a Sunday mood.
Every one paused moment to watch
the pathetic sight. Dashing along with
what seemed to be reckless abandon,
his speed was not diminished as he
approached steep step-off. Men in
the crowd bent forward as if they
would catch the wee chauffeur and
stall off the disaster that seemed about
to happen. None was swift enough.
With a skillful turn Of the hand he
directed his vehicle to the side and
glided off the paving to the street
without wabble and with a smooth
ness that would make an ordinary
automobile owner pale with envy.
Again he is on the sidewalk, and
now he whistles a merry tune, not a
whit put out by the exertion Of pro-
polling himself or of the inquisitiye
glances Of the crowd. A street car
dashes by, but it is no swifter than
the little cripple, who leaves the pedes-
TRANS behind and drives calmly on,
his hand muddy and his sleeve torn
from tugging at the wheel, but his
heart happy despite his withered limbs.

Thinks Soap Injurious.

An English writer asserts that the
English people have greatly deterior-
ated physically because Of the too fire.
quent use Of soap. The English he
says, are too clean. The Creator gave
us a natural oil to protect the skin and
make it supple, and we pass our time
removing this oil with soap. In con-
sequen 20, we are more vulnerable to
colds, 20 rheumatism, and to all sorts
Of disease. Soap opens the pores Of
the skin, and disease enters with ease.

whole development of the steam en-
CINE, to the exclusion of the gas en-
CINE, has been a mistake and that we
are now at the beginning Of a new
era fl the use of power. Engineers
could to-day gain better and more
economical results by abandoning
steam and using internal combustion
engines, even in large establishments.
The gain in economy of fuel will adj
vance with the size of the establish
ment. With the internal combustion
engine brake horsepower can be
produced on a pound of coal. This
could not be done with steam under
any condition.
SO great a revolution has come
about in methods of producing steam
that a 1O,O0O-ton cruiser Of twenty
one knots an hour could to-day pro-
coed around the world at fourteen
knots without taking on fuel and
without sacrificing any of her war
efficiency, New kinds of engines
have come into vogue which suggests
facts larger even than this.
Oil engines using crude petroleum
will be developed as soon as the de-
mand is felt for them, but, even here,
the fuel can be made into gas and
burned thus with far greater econ
omy than is possible when the oil
itself is burned under boilers or gaso-
line can be used. In an ordinary
1920 horsepower torpedo boat forty
three tons of coal would be used in
ten hours. With gasoline the radius
of activity Of the same torpedo boat
can be more than quadrupled, for
5000 horsepower can be produced from
5000 gallons Of fuel. Briefly, 10000
pounds Of gasoline will do the work
Of $4,000 pounds Of coal. The cost
Of the fuel is higher, but with gaso-
line plant in torpedo boat only two
men are required in the engine room
and none at all in the fireroom. The
dangers of steam at high pressure are
avoided and the completely of steam
machinery done away with.
Owing to the certain saving to be
secured in coal consumption and to
the simplicity and reliability of the
gas engine plant, we shall witness a
gradual forcing out Of the steam
plants in future power plants for
| lighting, pumping or factory uses and
it will be question Of only a short
| time before many Of the existing
| steam plants will not be required.

STORY OF "FIRELANDs" TOLD.
Fertile Ohio Region Recalls Benedict
ArnO1d's Famous Connecticut Raid.

Fertile Ohio Region Recalls Benedict
Arno1d's Famous Connecticut Raid.
Unnumbered native Ohioans, not to
speak of hundreds of thousands Of
residents of this State, who have come
from foreign lands and other States
OF the American Union, must have
wondered why a fertile and productive
tract in northern Ohio, a district which
in no way hints of the ravages Of fire,
should be called the 'fireIands."
Among all the yicissitudes of Ohio's
early history great CONGREGATIONS were
notable for their absence. No such
terrible forest fires swept this State
as ravaged large areas in Michigan
and Wisconsin seventy or eighty years
later.
The fires to which the name refers
ragged in Connecticut, not Ohio, and
they were the work of British and
tory soldiers, instead Of the result Of
accidents or natural causes. In 1881,
when the long struggle for independ-
ence was nearly ended, Benedict Ar
nold commanded an expedition which
ravaged the Connecticut coast of Long
Island Sound. He burned New Lon
don and other towns and left behind
misery and restitution as we'll as a
more bitter hatred than he had earned
before that outrage upon his native
State.
THIS and other cruel and senseless
attacks upon Connecticut towns left
so strong feeling Of sympathy and
injustice behind that in disposing of
Connecticuts rights in lands now
forming part of Ohio 7S1 square miles
in the extreme western edge of the
western reserve were set apart to be
donated to sufferers by the British
raids. Five ranges Of townships ran
ming north and south We're included
in this tract.
Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie extend
SO far southwark at this point that the
FIVE ranges Of townships contained
only about 100000 acres of land. The
tract measured some twenty-seven
miles by thirty. The Connecticut suf-
ferers from the torch of the enemy
lived chiefly in New London, Norwalk
and Fairfield, and 1t was from those
towns that many of the settlers of the
"Fireiands' came to build in the Ohio
wilderness settlements bearing the
same names and having like civic
ideals and character.-Dayton Herald.

TWO STEPS
The Last One Helps the Firs

The Last One Helps the First.
A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid Of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first is to cut off coffee abso-
lutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee
that has in it the elements nature re-
quires to change the blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the broken
down cells destroyed by coffee. With
well boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift
to, both these steps are easy and pleas
ant. The experience Of a Georgian
proves how important both are.

Rule Britannia.
When Britain first, at heavens COM
mand,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sung this strain
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
For Britons never will be slaves.
The nations not so blest as thee
Must, in their turns, to tyrants- fall;
Whilst thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
For Britons never will be slaves.
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign
stroke;
AS the loud blasts that tear. the skies
Serve but to rot thy native oak.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
For Britons never will be slaves.
Thee naughty tyrants ne'er shall tame;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame,
And work their woe-but thy renown.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
For Britons never will be slaves.
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine;
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
For Britons never will be slaves.
The MUSES., still with Freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Blest Isle! with matchless beauty crown

And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves!
