What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished us through un-
known ages of human existence. Is it not
true that the earth supplies us with every
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that it is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means
to keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we
only knew it? The animals know by in
stinct what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-

there are roots and herbs supplied by nature

As we onward force our way,

On Lies mirror day by day"

And be last to throw a stone.
Let us shnn all petty scandals
Where the tiatterng tongue beguiles,
Smoothing ialsehood's $ poisoned weapons
Till we're fettered with their wiles.
Some will smile in triumph DER us,
As ensnared we stand alone,

Subject to her rigid laws,
Gould We see each others records,
We might find some nasty flaws.
But We have not been appointed
Judges on moral throne,
All We have to do is simple.

When we think we've reached perfection
And can bear close scrutiny,
When we rise above cOndemning,

Let us not by pride be tempted
Into thinking dangers gone,
For there's glass on all our houses.

CURE FOR APPENDICITIS,

The rapid increase in appendicitis
cases makes important an announce
ment by DR.. Lautenborn of Norris.
town, N. j., who states that walking is
preventive Of the dread malady. 1t
is explained that if the entrance to the
vermiform appendix is not kept tight.
ly closed small portions OF waste food
find a way into it, and as there is no
exit it cannot be forced out, necessitat-
ing dangerous operation for its re-.
moval.
DR.. Lautenborn says that when a
man ais doing considerable walking
there is no danger of appendicitis, for
the reason that the abdominal and in.
testinal muscles are kept continually
active and so in good working order.
The jolting given to mans interior
economy when he walks causes the
, muscles OF the abdomen and the in
testines to continually contract to off,
set the jar of the STEP"
There would seem to be much in
this theory, if. indeed, il is not the
correct one. It has long been a COM
mon remark that "only he rich can
afford appendicitis" and perhaps this
statement by the eastern doctor ex.
plains why it is that the rich are
more subject to appendicitis than the
poor. The disease is almost, if not
wholly, unknown among farmers, Ia.
boring men and others who by their
occupations are forced to be upon
their feet most of the time and to do a
great deal of walking. 1t is also
noticeable that appendicitis is very
common among the rich who do very
little walking and use a carriage for
even short distances, and whose walk
ing is confined almost exclusively to
the house or place OF business.
The theory of Doctor Lautenborn is
plausible and should prompt every
man or woman to walk more and ride
less. At any rate, walking is con-
ceded by physicians to be the most
! useful OF exercise.

ment, but which, he maintains, mus,
be genuine on the strength of internal
evidence. Some OF these sayings are:
1t is more blessed to give than
to receive" Although this is not in
the Gospel it is noted by st. Paul as
having been said by Christ.
He is guilty who troubles the
spirit OF his brother" This is from
fragments of the Gospel to the He
brews, quoted by st. Jerome.
You should never be joyful save
when you behold your brother in love-"
"The seeker shall not rest until he
finds; and when he finds he shall be
astonished."

who are the good whom my Father ia
Heaven hath given Me-"

est not the law"
Who is near Me is near the
Father; who is far from Me is far
from the Kingdom"
Hast thou seen thy brother? Then
hast thou seen God"
Prof. Harnack comes to the conclu.
sion that as these sentences are 40
varied and cover so large field iu
ethics and religion there is no reason
to suppose that the Four Gospels con.
tain anything like complete account
OF Christs sayings or teachings on
any one branch OF morals or religion.
That much OF what He said and did
is forever lost to the world, is quite
certain. He believes that at the time
the four Evangelists lived there was
an immense amount of material to
choose from which now is lost, and,
this being so, the extraordinary simi-
larity OF all four accounts raises sus-
picions which it is exceedingly diff
ficult to allay.

In the Palace of Electricity the

you watch a telephone system in full

N-ray apparatus in operation, and by

A twentieth century train is in mo-

the sway as if you really were speeding
forward, and you hear the rumble of
the wheels. Revolving on a pedestal
in the center of this palace is the
largest locomotive ever created. 1t is
alive with steam, and in and out flash
the pistons. The force which is being
expended there would send it ahead

NAMES At SEAT OF WAR.
Rules Of Pronunciation Adopted by United
States Geological Survey.

States Geological Survey.
Mr.. Henry Gannett, geographer o.
the United States geological survey
has recently received numerous letters
OF inquiry regarding the proper spell.
ing of the place names in Corea and
Manchuria that have become promi.
rent in the news columns of the day
since the outbreak of hostilities be.
tween Russia and Japan. says the
Washington Star. The variation in
spelling observed in the usage OF differ.
ent newspapers and different map.
makers is confusing to the common
mind. Mr.. Gannett suggests that the
matter would be much simpliied if it
were generally known that q system
of transliteration of such names has
been adopted by most European ma.
tions, by Canada and by this country.
This plan is published in the second
report OF the United States board on
geographic names.
The confusion arises from the fact
that these geographic names are writ.
ten in their native tongues in charac.
ters unlike those we employ. Differ.
ent persons transliterate them into
characters in different ways. The
value of set of rules that would re.
duce the variations in spelling to a
minimum is apparent.
The rules adopted by tho board on
geographic names provide that the
vowels shall have the sounds that are
common to the vowels IN the Ian.
guages Of southern Europe. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that has the sound
of 90 in boot and that Manchuria is
therefore preferred to Manchuria,
Chefu 10 Chefoo, Amur to Amoor.
1t has been ruled that al has the
sound OF in ice; az the sound of ow
in how (ac-a very frequent combina-
tiOn in the east, heard in names like
Mindanrao and Nanao-is slightly
different from the preceding); ei, as in
Beirut, has the sound OF the two Ital.
ians vowels. but is frequently slurred,
when it is scarcely distinguishable
from ey in the English word they.
In accordance with the rules, 10
always "soft," having the sound of 8.
lizard" C is represented by K, and it
therefore follows that Korea is the &C.
cepted form, and not Corea. Other
rules are that oh is always "soft," as
in church; + is sounded as in English
and ph should not be used to repre-.
sent this sound; 9 is always "hard,"
as in get; h is always pronounced; j
and k have the English sound; kh has
the sound OF the oriental cultural; oh
is another cultural; mg represents in
different words different sounds-two
sounds, as in finger, and one, as in
singer; q should never be employed
for the sound of gu, which is repre-.
sented by XIV. as in Kwantung; q is
always a consonant, as in yard, and
should not be used for the sound oil
the vowel j, as it is in very or rely.
These rules are recommended as
simple and easy OF application. Their
general acceptance would undoubtedly

Whiskey Peddled in WAGON AxIss.
Kansas City Journal.

An entirely novel scheme of whisky
peddling has just been discovered in
the Chickasaw Nation. The culprits,
who are peddlers, travelled in an old
wagon drawn by poor span OF Indian
ponies and were ostensibly buying
eggs and poultry, but on the sly they
would sell small bottles OF whiskey to
farmers and Indians throughout the
neighborhood at 81 per pint. The
officers discovered that both axIes of
the wagon were of iron and very large.
Upon further investigation it was dis
covered that these axles were hollow
and would hold about four gallons
each. The peddlers would remove a
bolt and insert a small pump and
draw the whiskey out OF these axles.

total is, therefore, $l7S,00O,000. The
New York Commercial gives the fol-
lowing comparison of our liquor rev.
enue with that OF the principal Euro
pean nations:
The Russian government estimates
at 35S,000,O0O its revenue this year
from the sale of liquor, which is a
monopoly OF the imperial government,
except in Siberia, where, on July |, it
will become monopoly.
In Great Britain the revenue from
excises, as the tax is called, averages
S13S,OO0,OOO year, not much less
than the revenue OF the United States
government from the same source,
and there is, besides, the customs rev.
enue from rum, brandy and other in
toxicants, amounting to s25,000,000.
The French government derives in q
year 300, 100000 francs from its tax
on spirits, $4,000, 600 from the tax on
beer and 100000 from the taxes on
wine, cider being included. This says
the New York Sun, is $100,0OO,O0O a
year from liquor payments, exclusive
of the amount collected as customs
duties from wines entered into France
for reshipment or for local consump-
ton.
Italy raises about 100, 100000 lire a
year from excise taxes, the equivalent
Of about $ZO,0OO,OOO. Holland raises
about S5O,0OO,0OO florins from this
source, equivalent to $2O,OOO,OOO.
The actual contribution of the liquor
trade to the income of the State is
even larger than these figures indicate,
for there are local as well as national
taxes. Thus in New York the State
revenue from the liquor tax is distinct
from the federal government collec-
tions, and in Germany the larger part
of the tax is paid to local authorities.

Considerable complaint has arisen
on Rector street, since the setting of
the. curbs, because, in, many cases,
along both sides of the thoroughfare
below Gordon street the top of the
curb is from one to five inches higher
than the level Of the sidewalk. In
base of rain the walk would thus form
a running stream.
Along the line of st. Peters Epis-
copal church yard the discrepancy
amounted to several inches, and the
Warren people who are paving the
street now have men at work raising
the level of the sidewalk to that of the
top of the curb. The walk is also be
ingraised in front of the residence Of
Walter Thompson, on the easter1v side
of the street. 1t will also have to be
done in front of several other proper
ties.
All the material for the paving is
now arriving, and the plant will 500
be set up. The force of workmen has
been increased.
