BEAVERS DAM MAINE RIVER.
Aquatic Rodents Prevent Engine Sc
curing Usual Supply of Water
from the Stream.

Many curious stories have been told
about beavers and their ways. Some of
the lumbermen in Maine say they are
flooding their timberlands to such an
extent that they should have less protec-
ton by law, while visitors to our lakes
and ponds find them great attraction.
The biggest" beavers, in a way. that
we have heard of reside in Redington
township near the Eustis branch of the
Phillips and Rangeley railroad. Their
home is on a stream that supplies water
for engines. A few weeks ago the en-
CINE crew stopped for water and found,
to their surprise. that the stream was
dry. 1t was only dry for a few days,
however, and the water began to run
again without any apparent cause for
the change. Then a man followed up
the brook to investigate and a mile and
half or so up he found a nice beaver
pond. The beavers had damned the
stream for their own purposes and when
their pond was full the overflow went
into the stream and then the engine
could have the water.

Under the head Of vital things order
should be written in large capitals,
writes Elizabeth Emery, in the Home
Beautiful. No house is beautiful if its
laws are disregarded. The order that
faints at the sight of a speck of dust,
the order that locates every chair and
table by chalk mark, the order that
cannot tolerate a misplaced book, is
not to be thus written. This order is
not vital. 1t was once called good
housekeeping. but it is not considered
good home-making, and never can be.
1t has wrecked homes quite as success
fully as the saloon. The order that
makes for restfuness and comfort is
vital. 1t cannot exist in crowded
rooms. Furniture is made to be used,
and books are made to be read. If
the disarranging of chair or the mis-
placing of book upsets the order OF
room, something is wrong, and the
something" is the crowded condition.
Get rid of the superiluous.- Most rooms
nave 100 many pieces OF furniture, anu
all rooms have too many things. Sim
plicity of arrangement is SO bound up
with order and the absence of the su-
perfuous that it cannot well be sep
arated. A few pictures, chosen to &C
cord with the room, books that are
placed within the reach of those who
use them, lamps that are located where
they are needed, flowers that are ar
ranged with a Japanese feeling for the
value of the leaf and stem, are express
sions of a love for simple arrange
ment. Beauty no less than comfort Is
dependent upon this vital principle.

Patriotism Their Only Religion.

The emperor and the empire, the en-
pire that is the people, these constitute
the real religion of Japan the great IDEA

japanese have accounted for themselves

sands of bereaved ones suffer in proud
silence that dreams in great peace of an

ence they display, these fearless ones;
it is strength, the mightiest ever seen
on earth. By thousands they hear the
grim news that robs them of all reason
for living, and by thousands they retreat
in splendid awe, tempered, bless God, by
patriotic pride that has not its equal
under the shining sun. Grief invisible
racks the soul of Japan while she
marches proudly on with JOY note in
her war song.

Shower Proof Hats.

An Austrian genius has made the
discovery that celluloid, prepared in a
special way, provides a material out
of which hats and the most delicate flow
ers can be made. These hats are not
only beautiful in themselves and can
not be told from those made OF the usual
material, but will stand the most Sc
we're shower and look even better after
than before. They are used to some ex-
tent in Germany, especially in Vienna.
They would be exceedingly popular in
London during the rainy seasons, for
many charming bonnet is ruined there
by the persistent drizzle, from which no
umbrella can protect woman.

Southern Birthstone.

Louisiana birthstone is now added to
Texas petroleum, Alabama iron, Caro-
lima cotton goods and southern cotton,
rice and sugar as a commercial article
in which Dixie is price maker and i'm
portant source of supply. The sulphur
mines of Louisiana produce pure brim-
stone in great quantity, says the Balti-
more Sun, which can be sold
in competitor with that of Sici-
ly. During September, it is stat
ed, $4,000 tons were sold, and the
market is ready to take Louisiana sui
phur as fast as it can be got out. The
first shipments were about 10000 tons,
which were sent to New York in July
last. The Sicilian interests were slow
to believe that their monopoly was
threatened, but they are now, it is said,
anxious to chip in. A new factor in the
birthstone market has arrived.

Did you ever stop to think what a
hxuryan orange was 30years ago, when
Fou were boy and lived in a small
town? You got one for Christmas and
none at all the rest of the year. A
pineapple was something you knew lit
tie about, and a banana was a pulpy
mystery. AS for tangerines, grape
fruit, imported melons, etc, they did
not exist for you. says the Cincinnati
Post. Since then a great tropical in
dustry has grown up. 1t is so great
as to be almost beyond comprehen-
sion. 1t means prosperity for part
of the world that has seen many years
of poverty. 1t also means continued
good times for those important addi-
lions to the United States, the Hawai-
ian Islands and Porto Rico, with the
Philippines yet to hear from. The APP
petite of the people of the United
States for tropical and subtropical
products has reached such proportions
that in the fiscal year 1904 the total
amount paid for these products was
$3.50. 556,775. Think of it! Nearly
100000 per day for things that were
luxuries a few years ago. Now to-
matoes are cheap even in January.
You can buy all the bananas you can
carry for a dime, and oranges will
average cheaper than apples The
market is full of pineapples and they
are so low in price that the humble
toiler sticks a couple in his market
basket and thinks nothing of the cost
In no country in the world does the
food of the comparatively poor so near
ly equal the quality and variety OF the
food of the rich as in America The
best is comparatively cheap, and even
the millionaire can do no better than
that. Your doctor will tell you that
this consumption of fruit has a direct
bearing on the good health of the ma
ton. Let's be glad that we were able
to spend $3.50 600 600 for warm climate
fruit products in a single year.

While the world has suspected Russia
of being at a standstill in her manufac-
lures. facts and figures show that in the
10 years recently ended her production
of coal increased three-fold, that of pig
iron more than four-fold, that of man
ganese ore 24-fold, that of salt two
fold. and that of naphtha nearly four
fold. In other branches of industry
Russian progress has been almost
equally notable. 1t has been predicted
that after the check brought by the war
Russia is likely to enter upon career
of industrial progress compared with
that of Germany after Sedan.

Further Investigations by the New

several hundred druggists in that city
have been patrons Of the men who dealt

has confessed to making $3.50 week for

Japanese Method of Physical Culture


Japan is the only nation of the world
in which the whole people have learned
practical cleanliness of body, perfect
ventilation and cleanliness of the house
Europe and America have not yet found
out that the national wealth consists
OF health. and that national supremacy
depends entirely upon medical ano
hygienic righteousness. We know but
do not practice the evident truth that
the tuberculosis problem entirely, and
those of most other diseases partly,
depend upon ventilation and household
cleanliness. While we allow the anti
vaccination foolishness its criminal
vogue in England, France and Amer
lea, Japan has compulsory vaccination,
and no smallpox. The world belongs
to the physically strong, and the gov
ernments which spend their incomes
on anything and everything except the
one thing most necessary will surely
20 down before the armies of those ma
tions that are more careful of the laws

good to the Irish" They mean that
he has given few jobs to Irishmen
of no particular account, just as he
would throw a bone to Il dog. Now
we have Il special appeal made to the
Jews to vote in an American election
for jew reasons. A Jew politician,
living in strongly Hebrew district
in New York, has distributed PAM
phlet in which this paragraph occurs:
Young men. l am speaking to you
as brother, as one who knows and
loves you. My former position as act
ing Consul at Madrid, Spain "a posi-
ton, by the way which no Jew ever

ton for the first time since the Jews

given me a clear insight into the
splendid work of the present admins
tration. was made to experience
and to enjoy the respect our great
fellow-citizen, Theodore Roosevelt,
has helped to establish for us. L,
therefore, can speak to you not only
with enthusiasm. but with under
standing, and 1 say to you that we
have cause to be grateful to Theodore
Roosevelt. For is not his kind word
on behalf Of the Russian and Rouman-
ian Jews as a sweet incense to all the
Jews of this broad land? All Jews,
whatever be their origin glory in the
presidents sympathy for our people
in Russia. Rich OF poor, orthodox or
reform Jews, all are glad and thank
full. The honor conferred upon one
Jew is an honor to all our brethren"
So that the Irish are to vote for
Roosevelt for Irish reasons that have
no existence, the Jews for Hebrew
reasons, the Anglo-Saxons because of
his staunch service to England.
Verify, Theodore can be Everything
to all men," But the Jews and the
Anglo-SaXons have the best of the
bargain. Are there any jobs left for
the poor native American? 1t looks
from these silly appeals to the Jews
and the Irish as if Theodore Roose-
Welt were afraid of the Yankees. One
thing at least is certain: large num-
bers of sensible Americans are COM
ing to the conclusion that the man re-
sponsible for these appeals is an ar
rant lemagogue.
