IARKET DAY HERE ALL The TIME
A DnnRcrnun onrro.

Lime is one of the most dangerous Of
cargoes for a vessel to carry. When
1t catches fire, as it frequently does, in
spite Of the greatest precautions
against the admission Of water into
the hold, it is almost impossible to ex-
tinguish it. The only method that ev-
er avails is to stop every crack with
soap, so that no air can reach the lime.
Sometimes this will stop the fire, but
often these fires will burn for weeks,
till the vessel sinks beneath the water,
a mass of charred embers holding to-
gether. When a vessel with a cargo of
lime once catches fire it is sure death
Go go below. Not long ago a schooner
with cargo of this commodity caught
fire and was sealed up as tightly as
possible. The crew was composed of
the captain and his two sons. One day
the latter weht to sleep on the deck,
and their father imprudently entered
his cabin, shutting the door behind
him. When they awakened and found
their father missing they, supposing
that he had fallen overheard, sailed the
ship for home, quite unconscious that
they were bearing the body OF their
father with them.

An IngenIonn Printer.

1t requires a great deal Of ingenuity
to become a successful printer Boys
with printing presses and ambitious to
develop into great printers should re-
member this and exercise their inven-
tive qualities at every opportunity.
A story is told of a Prague printer
who got himself out of a very disagree
able dilemma by the use Of his ingen-
ious mind. He was once called upon to
print a report Of the board Of trade Of
his native city in the two languages Of
the country, German and Czech, and
the representatives Of each national
ity strenuously desired that their
tongue should occupy the frst Of the
parallel columns on each page. The
wary printer got out Of his dilemma
by printing one column upside down
throughout the book and arranging the
titles accordingly. so that each Ian
guage had a front column on every
page.

wor.hipcrs OF strnsge Gods

Snake worshlpers are more numer-
GUS than river worshipcrs in the Pun
joh. They have always been n large
denomination I'm heather countries.
Why they worship snakes is a problem
that las been frequently discussed to
no particular purpose. But people who
worship owls. bats, Holsters, rats and
mice viii worship anything, and per-
haps snake worshipcrs are so common
merely because snakes are so widely
distributed and so far from exclusive

Even the untutored PNwnees are
earth worshlpers and bury articles by

nomical than burning them, as they
can be dug up again. The ancestral
mound is a good deal adored in the
Punjah. In Scotland It became the
fairy hill, as at Aberfcyle, and was
treated with conspicuous respect in
times comparatively modern. The
church was usually built as near it as
possible, perhaps to counteract the in
fiuence of the ancestral mound or to
acquire any local sacredness that might
be going.-London News.

Ho,r to WnIlr.

There is no virtue in a dawdling
saunter. The slow and languid drag
ging one foot after the other, which
some people call walking, would tire
an athlete 1t utterly exhausts a weak
person, and that is the reason why
many delicate persons think they can
not walk. To derive any benefit from
the exercise 1t is necessary to walk
with q light, elastic step, which swings
the weight Of the body 80 easily from
one leg to the other that its weight is
not felt and which produces a healthy
glow, showing that the sluggish blood
is stirred to action in the most remote
Veins.-Family Doctor.

Writing and Dictation.

The modern method Of letter writing
composition through the agency Of the
stenographer is having a peculiar eff
feet upon the popular use Of the Ian
guage. 1t must be evident to even the
nOncritical observer that carelessness
and diffuseness of expression have be-
come a feature and a fault Of corre-
spondence, from the reproach Of which
it was quite free in the earlier days
when pen and ink were directly en-
ployed by the individual to the end Of
giving form and conference to his idea
Probably when dictation under the
present system becomes more of a fix
ed habit and institution the human
mind will become so accustomed to it
that It will operate more rapidly and
as accurately with such assistance as
under the old plan in which the writer
only dictated to himself. Yet to him
with whom pen and ink have always
been potent solvents of thought the
change involved in dictation must
bring with it a serious embarrassment
in the matter of adequately denoting
ones Philadelphia Ledger.

Dru,d Money.

Druid money expresses one Of the
many plausible ways OF refusing to
pay at all, so common to all peoples.
II is the exact equivalent Of the Ro-
man phrase to pay on the Greek cal
ends, which meant never, as the Greeks
had no calends. Patricius says Of the
Druids that they constantly received
money which they promised TO return
in another life. Butler in "Hudibras'
refers TO this:
Like money by the Druids borrowed,
In tother world 10 be restored.
The same tricks are played in TIT
eastern as I'm the western world, 10

MAKE NO SPEECHES
Parker Will Make Nc Speeches Dur"
ing the Campaign Unless Some spe"
ciaI Occasion Shall Arise to Make III
Necessary.

Esopus, Aug. 22.-It was made plain
at Rosemount today that there is no
certainty of Judge Parker making any
speech in the west in connection WITH
his St Louis trip, or any other time
or place. The principle on which
Judge Parker will act IN the matter
was learned from an intimate associ-
ate of the Judge who said: Judge Par
ker has no faith in the utility Oh
speech making for its own sake and
will make no speeches anywhere for
the mere purpose of appearing in any
given locality. He believes stumping
tour by a presidential candidate to be
improper, and will undertake no such
tour. The only condition upon which
he will make any speech, anywhere,
will be the fact that he has some dehn.
ite thing to say, and that he is con-
yinced by his own reason that some.
given time and place best suits the
saving of 1t there and then. You may
saw with the utmost confidence under
no other conditions will Judge Parker
make any speech anywhere.

inproyement in cultivation. Our faf-
mers cultivate too much land, conse-
uuently neglect The crop. stirring only
few inches deep on the top of the
soil. where they should sink the steel
deep in the earth and rotate their
crops instead OF planting the Same
piece TO corn year after year, as Is
their custom. More Knowledge is what
the honest tiller Of the SOIL STANDS
greatly in need of. that he may adapt
his crop to the soil best suited to Its
growth. More attention should be
paid to stock raising as we must In a
few years depend upon our surplus
productions possessing the means OF
self locomotion.'
1t was about this time in the his
tory of Iowa that the Legislature had
offered to duplicate to each county So
ciety the amount of It's receipts not TO
exceed 5000 in any one year. and this
encouraged the formation of many So
cieties to hold fairs. In 1857 socie-
ties were formed In Blackhawk, Boone,
Bremen, Clayton. Decatur, Hardin.
Iowa. Jones, Keokuk and Madison
counties. The previous year they had
been formed in Clinton, Dallas. Marion
and Mills In 1855 they were formed
in Jasper. Delaware. Linn. Poweshiek,
and Warren. In 1853 they We're start
ed in Allamakee Davis, Johnson. Jack
son. Monroe. Scott and Polk. The year
before beginnings had been made in
Des Moines, Henry, Jefferson, Lee. Ma
haska. Muscatine, and Wapello. The
only earlier one was in Van Buren,,
where the beginnings were made in
1912
