SEVEN GERMAN STATES
WANT CONSULATES
From Their Dear Uncle Sam--If all
Can'tHave What Most They
Crave Why Should We
Cara-Oo Mnrh7
Care-So Much

Berlin, Jan. 31.-Seven German
states are disputing the possession of
one American consul. They are the
Duchies of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, SAKE
Meixiner, SAKE Altenburg; the Prin-
cipalities Of Schwarzburg Rudolstadt;
Schwarzenburg Sondershausen, Reuss
Elderline, and Reuss Elderline, and
Reuss Youngerline. The United
States maintains one consulate for
these seven Thuringian states, now
located at Coburg. Now that Consul
Hughes has left that place the various
rulers of the divisions are anxious to
have the consulate removed to their
principal town. This dispute, which
has its humorous aspect, Is testimony
to the value attached by Germany's
puppet states to diplomatic inter
course with the United States.

LOST PIANO
Maude Bachert Had to
Give 1t Up.

Maude J. Bachert, wife of Edward
Bachert, has lost her piano, which was
replevined by Thomas 7, Maddrell a
few days ago. When the writ was
served it was the intention of Mrs.
Bachert to give redelivery bond, and
have trial as to the right to the
piano. Her attorney after examining
the records at the recorders Office
found duly recorded chattel mortgage
on file and it was thought unnecessary
to make a fight. So the instrument
was turned over to the officers who de-
Ilivered II to Maddrell.
This preliminary skirmishing has
the effect of intensifying the interest
felt In the forthcoming divorce case
of Bachert against his wife.

WHILE GUARDS WERE.
At CHURCH SIX
ESCAPED
Bold Jail Delivery at New
Orleans.
TUNNELED UNDER WALL

New Orleans, Jan. 31.-Six prison
ers escaped at eight o'clock this fore
noon from the New Orleans parish
prison by tunneling 17-inch brick
wall and climbing through a sewer
pipe. They reached the street wall
which they descended with rake and
. torn sheets.
The following escaped: George
Conkling, an escaped convict from
Clinton prison, Auburn, N Y, who
was awaiting removal to that insti'
tuition; Lewis Lipps, convicted OF
planning a robbery and sentenced to
five years in the Louisiana penitentiary
and Frank Carroll, Joseph Quarzelles
John Mcclure and Frank Rogers. The
latter were accused of trivial crimes
The deliberate manner Of escape
and the consummate skill shown by
the prisoners, together with the ig
porance of the prison officials, have
created sensation. The street
where the men got away was crowd
cd with pedestrians at the time.
Carroll and Quarzelles were cap
turned at Kenner, La, 10 miles away
at 4 o'clock this afternoon but Carroll
was liberated by mistake. He is want
ed in Chicago.
The guards explaining the delivery
say they were at church when the
men got away.

wher. Lime Juice Comes From.

Where Lime JUICE ZONES from.
Nearly all the limejuice used in the
world comes from the TINY island Of
Montserrat, in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands. but only in
Montserrat is 1t used commercially,
That island is one vast garden Of
lime trees, and nowhere in the world
is there a fner sight than Its thirty
miles of orchards laden with the
fruit of the lime or fragrant with its
blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wo-
men, who carry 1t down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians,
they are remarkable for their ability
to carry heavy weights in this man.
ner. Once the company which con-
trolls the limejuice industry sought to
tighten the burden of Its laborers by
introducing wheelbarrows. The ne
groes filed the wheelbarrows readily
enough, and then carried them on
their heads as they had been used ia
carry the baskets. Many a negro wo
man will carry a hundredweight OF
lines on her head for q distance OF
q mile or more.

Rearina Skilled Workmen

Germany leads the world in It's in
dustrial education. The supremacy in
the several industrials for which she
is so famous is directly traceable to
this educational development. The
porcelain industries for which Ger
many Ia noted could hardly be car
ried on without an ample supply Of
artistlcally skilled workmen, and to
assure the continuance of the supply
of operatives the government con-
ducts porcelain factory at Missen.
Pupils and apprentices are taught
drawing for two years. On the COM
pletion of this course they spend an
additional term of two years on mod
cling and painting. Those who de.
velope special skill are then sent to
the fine art schools of Dresden, Ber-
lin, and the other famous art centres
to finish their education. If pupil
perseveres to the end through this
long novitate he is practically guar
anteed lifelong service in the govern
ment porcelain factory.
Another feature of German indus
trial education which might be adopt
ed with advantage elsewhere is the
practice Of sending trade apprentices
to some industrial school for a portion
of each year. Those who are linden.
tured for a four-year apprenticeship
usually spend at least four months n
year in one Of these schools, which
are conveniently located in the manu-
featuring lstricts.-Philadelph Rec

THE "skY pARuoR" IDEA.
Why Mayor Jones's Habit Is Not
Mere Fad.


The sky-parlor idea as expressed by
Mayor Jo7es In mis- advocacy of sleep
Ing In the open air has attracted much
comment In the press. But like many
a so-called fad, 1t Is simply an appli-
cation of the rules of common sense
to living. The greatest foes to germ,
bacteria and mcrobe are the air and
ed quantities, nature ordinarily takes
care Of herself.
The ordinary home is but trap to
catch and place to cultivate all man
ner of diseased germs. Our house
hold furnishings, fittings SrE hang-
ings are often notaing but harbors
for these destructive invaders, while
the Gee access of air and sunshine,
the only efficacious means of keeping
these dangers in check, is impeded by
the very furnishings which give them
lodging. Yet in most households II Is
deemed of more Importance to keep
some priced hanging or floor cover
ing from fading than 1t is to keep
the room in sound sanitary condition.
A hospital for tuberculosis patients
has just been opened in Philadelphia
1t Is opened in larger sense than
these institutions usually are, for it
Is up in the air on the roof. 1t is the
specialists idea that life exclusive
ly in the open air will be benefit to
this class of patients, and this hospi-
tai Is the result of his theory.
| Fully one.half of the superficial
area Of the crowded cities Is now
given up to roofs of varying qualities
Of usefulness and ugliness. A wiser
generation than ours will utilize these
for recreation and incidentally put
those agencies which are poisoning
the air with dirt and smoke and foul
gases out of business. We shall all
live more in the open and up in the
air.
We have learned to build and use
porches, but the roof is practically
unutllized. We are only short way
yet from the sanitary conceptions of
the cave-dwellers. We can all be
healthier If we want TO be and will
give up the luxuries and practices
that make us i'll. Mayor Jones stated
the other day that he felt as much
ashamed of being sick as man
should feel at being drunk. The one
condition is just about as blame.
worthy as the other. We can avoid
both If we will.
Consumption Is as unnecessary as
smallpox. We live in a vitiated air at
home. We breathe foul dirty, poison,
ed air abroad and the bacillus attacks
us in our weakened state. We can
prevent any disease almost, though
there are few that we can completely
cure. We have learned to avoid the
sanitary sins of our ancestors, but we
have other shortcomings just as bad
We have not yet corrected the habit
of dying from disease, accident and
overwork.-Toledo News-Bee.

The Button Industry.

Most people If asked what buttons
are made of would reply, Bone" We
learn, however, from the Apparel Ga
ette that this is not SO. Buttons are
made Of vegetable ivory, got from a
curious tree called the ivory tree.
which produces ivory nuts" The
ivory nut admits Of wider and more
varied treatment for this purpose
than any other known substance, and
is easily worked. The United States
consumes more than one-half of the
worlds product Of ivory nuts, and
nine-tenths of the vegetable ivory is
manufactured into buttons. When
the nut reaches the button factory 1t
is cut into three slabs. In the pro-
cess of cutting out the button Is par.
TALLY shaped. Afterward the thread
holes are drilled and countersunk.
The button Is then sent to the polish
er, who uses the shavings and powder
made in drilling to polish them In
their white state. Afterward they
are sent to the designer, who traces
on the buttons In indelible dyes the
designs needed to make them match
the various weaves, coloring and text
ures of fabrics. After receiving these
outlines, If the buttons are to remain
smooth and receive another coat OF
coloring, they are put into dye. II
they are to be stamped with segre'
gated pattern they are put into a
pressing machine fitted with dies OF
the pattern desired.

A BIG SHIP IN THOSE DAYS.
Quaint Description Of Launching Of
the First Pennsylvania.

the FIRST PennSyIvanid.
The Philadelphia Press reproduces
from Youths Friend, a Sunday School
book of the thirties, this description
of the launching Of the first wsrship
bearing the name Pennsylvania"
On the 18th of July, 1887, not less
than a hundred thousand persons
were collected at the river Delaware,
! near Philadelphia, to see a ship
launched. IL was the largest vessel
that had ever been built in the United
States. and perhaps there never was
more than one so large built in the
world. 1t was fifteen years from the
time 1t was begun until II was launch
ed. IL measured nearly two hundred
and fifty feet in its greatest length.
If twenty-one such ships we're to line
In line, the length Of the whole
would be a mile. it " Gsty Tour feet
high, ana one or the three masts
I none Of which we're In the vessel at
the time of launching), Is two hun
dred and eighty.three feet high. One
of the anchors weighs nearly twelve
thousand tons. When such an enor-
nous vessel as this was to be moved
from the land into the water, 1t is no
wonder that every one wished to see
the sight.
The ships name is Pennsylvania. II
| was built at the edge of the river, un.
der an immense frame house, or rath.
er shed, for II had no rooms in 1t.
g. ~
the end of the shed towards the riv-
er was taken away, and great tim.
bers placed under and about the yes
sci to guide II into the river. The
Delaware Is a mile in width at that
place, and vessels of all sizes and
kinds, and filled with people covered
1t to great distance. Ships and
schooners, steamboats, and wherries
with their flags flying, and their decks
and masts crowded, were arranged In
view OF the great ship. The wharfs
houses, and shores, as far as the eye
could reach, were filed with people
many OF whom stood for several hours
waiting for the launch. At the ap
pointed time two cannons were fired
to give notice that the ship would
soon be launched. Several hundred
men-were employed in knocking away
the beams that kept it in its place on
shore; and In few minutes the great
ship, with a number of persons or
board, glided out of the shed into the
river. 1t was splendid sight, and the
crowds shouted as the Pennsylvania
moved like a swan among the Other
vessels, the largest of which appeared
like boats in comparison. You see g
representation of the scene in the pic
ture. The ship has just entered the
river, and the people are waving theil
hats and rejoicing all around.
The Pennsylvania Is vessel o.
war, and can carry one hundred ant
twenty cannons. 1t is to be hoped SHE
will never be used for this purpose
but that when the nations know how
well prepared our country is to resis
an enemy, they will be disposed tt
keep at peace. And we should still
more earnestly desire that the tim,
may soon come when all nations will
be peaceful, not because they are
afraid of each other, but because the!
love each other as all minkind ough
to do.
