AUTOMOBILES AND HAY.
Probable Enecs Of increasing Manu-
facture of the Motor Cars ON
the Various Crops.

reports OF the bureau O. statistics OF
the agricultural department at Wash
ington show that the dozen principal
crops of the country, including cotton,
reach the enormous value OF $780,
100000. OF this enormous value, four
crops furnish fully four-hfths. These
are corn, to the value Of $3.50, 900 600;
hay, $556,000.000; cotton, $500 900 900,
and wheat S442. 100000. To these may
be added oats, S26S,OO0,O0O OF these
crops, all Of the hay and such of the
corn and oats as is not used for hui
man consumption, go to feed the
horses, mules and cattle OF the eeun-
try, of which the estimated value is
$4,000, 100000
Compared with these figures, says
the Electrical Review. the automobile
industry is insignificant, but it is grow
ing at a healthy rate, and it may be
only question of time when the auto
mobile will have some effect on these
figures. What its effect will be, and
how soon it may be felt, it would be
rash to predict; but the fact neVerthe-
less remains that many are looking
forward to a complete exclusion of
the horse from cities, and the relief
of our faithful friend, to a large ex-
tent, from heavy drudgery This would
mean, necessarily, a diminution in the
demand for hay and cereals that are
used to feed them. Now corn is the
most important agricultural product
OF the country; hay comes second and
oats fifth, and any material decrease
in the use Of these cannot fail to be
felt by the farmer This he would
have to make good by raising other
crops, and it does not appear that the
will create new demands
which will in any way compensate for
the loss, unless the farm lies in an
oil district or in such a climate that
rubber cultivation can be started to |
supply the material for tires. Neither |
Of these alternatives is likely to be |
of material assistance to by far the |
greater number of those who till the |
soil for a livelihood, and it is probable |
that the feeling of animosity toward |
The new mode of locomotion which |
now exists in rural districts is likely |
70 persist for some time to come.

THREE YEARS LABOR COST.
A Fine Piece of Mexican Drawn XyorI,
Entirely Ruined just After Its
Completion.

To spend three years upon a piece of
work and then, by the simple overturn-
ing Of an inkstand, ruin it all is not
conducive to good spirits, but such was
the case of Germantown woman who
for three years worked increasingly
upon piece Of Mexican drawn work,
says the Philadelphia Record. A few
days ago marked its completion, and it
was laid out upon a table to await the
inspection Of a purchaser, who had Of
fered sum far beyond the limit Of what
one would imagine fancy work to be
worth in any quantity. The proud
owner Of the work was suddenly awak-
ened from a nap by scream from her
little daughter. and, looking at the
drawn work, imagined she was in the
midst Of nightmare, for the greater
portion was dripping with the black
contents Of the inkGtand, upset by the
title child Chemists and drug stores
ere telephoned to for recipes and arti-
eles for removing the stain, and after
using a quantity Of acids the ink had
faded away, and when the drawn worl
had been placed in the sun to bleach,
peace was partly restored in the upset
household When it came to bring in
he precious piece OF linen, the first
uch made it practically dissolve into
nothing, so thoroughly had the acids
eaten into the fabric.

TAXED FOR GREEK NAVY.
Part of Colony I'm Chicago objects to
Oppressive Levy by Its
Church.

A novel aftermath of the Turko-
Grecian war is revealed in connection
with hearings on an application for
an injunction in the superior court of
Cook county, ILL.,, recently made.
The question at issue, states a Chi
cago report, is whether a church tax,
to be devoted to the aid of the navy
maintained by Greece to oppose the
aggressions Of the Turks, can legally
be collected from Chicago members Of
Greek associations incorporated under
the laws Of Illinois
On behalf Of one faction of the
Greek colony Of Chicago Henry C.
Beitler contends that the assessment
of the navy tax by the governing body
Of the orthodox Greek church in this
city is a breach Of the comfy Of ma
tions.
1t was alleged by Mr.. Beitler that
per capita tax Of so cents for the
Greek navy was demanded from each
Of the 10000 Greeks in Chicago before
they would be given a voice in the
government of the Greek orthodox
church, or be permitted to vote at the
annual election Of officers for the as
sociation Of the Greek community of
Chicago, an organization holding
charter under the laws of Illinois.
The bylaws Of the association re-
quire only that applicants shall be
bona fide Greeks from Greece" and
shall pay an annual assessment of 50
each. Control Of the association has
been obtained in recent years by men
who have made the payment of the tax
In aid Of King Georges navy a condi-
tion Of membership in the organiza-
tion.
II is asserted by Mr.. Beitler that a
majority Of the well-todo and repre- |
sentative Greek residents of Chicago
are opposed to this method of collect |
ing the navy tax" They aver that
their patriotism IS not less than that |
Of members Of the opposing faction.
but they object to having the tax made /
q part of the church dues, since the
association is really the financial arm
Of the local Greek orthodox church and /
exercises supervision over the church |
administration.

But the Italian House OF Deputies
should Never Be Omitted
by Travellers.

Those visitors to Rome who find
that their outdoor excursions have
been prevented by the surly behavior
of King Sun ought really to pay a
visit to the Italian chamber. writes a
correspondent of London Sketch.
There they will find amusement
enough to drive away forever all un-
kind thoughts of the country in which
they are the guests Of the hour. If rain
is falling out of doors, they may be
sure that within the chamber there is
hailing a very storm of epithets, abus-
i've as they are expressive.
Only recently a splendid example
was given of the Italian deputy's fond
ness of wordy abuse A question had
been asked in an innocent way enough
regarding the Naples museum, and the
subject of archaeology was in this
manner introduced into the discussion.
What do you know of archaeol-
ogy?' asked one
You don't know how to read or
write anyway" retorted the other.
"You are a fool" added third.
"You are another" briskly but
weakly answered the first.
you are a freak of nature. a rogue
and a vagabond!" was the rejoinder
then vouchsafed. Eyes glittered, voices
rang out high. fists were clenched,
and threats were uttered.
"A duel. sure as DEATH" muttered
the excited onlookers. But no; lunch
time interyened, and better counsels
prevailed-helped. perhaps, by the
soothing effect of good wine, red and
white.
At the afternoon sitting, the quon-
dam enemies each arose in his place
and formally and with many bows re-
tracted word for word every sentence
of the morning.
1T shall be as IL it had not been
spoken" said the one.
Agreed with heart and SOUL" said
the other

FWNHERE are many people who de
clare that nowadays the in
creased use of steamships and
the consequent removal from
tie seas Of the old fashioned sailing
vessel have robbed the ocean Of great
deal OF its romance. To those who be
lieve that this is the case one may
heartily commend the remarkable story
told by Captain Peattie OF the Leicester
Castle. which recently arrived at
Queenstown after making the voyage
Of 14,O00 miles round Cape Horn from
san Francisco. To find anything like
q parallel to this tale of mutlny and
murder OH the high seas it would be
necessary to go back a whole genera.

sci was in the south Pacific ocean
some 800 miles to the north of Pitcairn
island, rendered famous by the mutiny
on his majesty's ship Bounty. 1t was
then that there occurred the shocking
tragedy of which Captain Peattie gave
the following account:
1t was midnight, and was quietly
reading in my cabin before retiring to
bed. The ship was travelling under all

Captain Peattie went on to say that
he was partially undressed but. quick,
ly slipping ON his clothes, he was about
to attend TO the injuries Of the man
when, to his great surprise another
American seaman named NJ. A. Hobbs
entered suddenly and presenting re-
volver, fired straight ut Captain Peat
tie, who was stunned at this attack.
Nevertheless he rushed at the man and
struck him Il tremendous blow with his
fist in the face. but Hobbs was a big,
powerful fellow, and the blow had not
much effect upon him, Hobbs fred
again, and the bullet struck Captain
Peattic in the muscles of the arm.

him up ON to the sofa, washed his many

The MAGNET.

Thousands of years ago a mineral
having the strange power Of attracting
iron was found in the country ancient.
ly called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given us the
word magnet" This mineral, which
Is now called the lodestone mot load
stone), attracted the attention Of the
curious, and ii was discovered that u
piece of iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power of attracting iron. In other
words, the piece of iron became mag
net. 1t was afterward found that such
an iron or artificial magnet could be
used like the lodestone itself to convert
other pieces or iron into magnets by
rubbing. Still more recently n mode
Of making magnets by means Of elec.
trlcity was discovered-that Is, by
wrapping piece Of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing current of electricity TO pass
through the wire. The familiar small
toy magnets are simply steel bars
which have been rubbed few times
against powerful magnets.-St Nich'

TOILET TIPS.

Sweet almond oil rubbed into the
bands will keep them soft.
An inyigorating tonic bath is pre-
pared by soaking several slices of lem
on or lines in the bath water for an
hour, then adding a handful Of bran.
Yarnish stains on the hands should
be rubbed with a little methylated
spirit, then wiped dry and finally
washed thoroughly with soap and wa
ter.
A little cold cream put on with face
rag or soft cloth is a good substitute
for soap and water. 1t keeps the skin
smooth and soft, at the same time
cleansing it effectively.
For a mouth wash take teaspoon
full OF powered boraX and tablespoon
full of pure glycerin and add cold wa
ter. Keep covered, and 1t will last for
several days, when it may be renewed,
Use every morning before brushing the
teeth.
Rinsing the face and hands thor
oughly after washing is quite as I'M
portant as the washing itself, if the
people who make beauty study are
to be believed. The soap must be got
out of the pores or 1t will roughen
and dry the skin and often aggravatc
the tendency TO blackheads.
