Saved Jeherson's Life.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, and Gen
eral Sherman were great friends. Up
on a certain occasion Jefferson called
upon the General, says a writer il
Lippincotts. After a pleasant cha
Jefferson rose to go, and General Sher
man caught sight of a sheet of a papeI
under the chair where the actor haS
been sitting.
Jefferson" he called, picking up thu
paper and carrying it to the door
you dropped this, think"
Jefferson took the sheet with an eff
fusion of thanks that was astonishing
my dear General" he exclaimed
"you have saved my life!
ut seems to me you're rather care
less to carry such valuable papers
around so loosely" replied the Genera
in surprise.
Jefferson laughed, and unfolding the
paper revealed its contents. 1t wa'

FORTUNES Made in on.

The recent agitation against the
Standard Oil Company in several
States, particularly in Kansas, has re-
suited in bringing the oil industry into
prominence as factor in our national
affairs, and is creating knowledge of
the countless millions of money being
made in producing and refining PEI
troleum. In Analysing the oil industry
the curious fact is revealed that the
greatest oil-prOducing State is not an
Eastern State at all. The honor goes
to PARKWAY California. While Calfor,
mia Is known as the Golden State, ID
having produced more gold than any
three States, and more than twice as
much as any other collaborating dis
trict in, the world, it is also producing
fifty per cent. more oil than any other
State. The oil industry in California
has had a rapid rise, and it has strewn
profits with a lavish hand on those
who have been instrumental in its de-
velOpment. One case noted is that Of
brakeman on the Southern Pacific
Railroad, who bought a tract of land
for $3.50. an acre, and when oil was
discovered sold some of it for $4,000 an
acre, developed the balance, became n
millionaire, and now rides in his pri-
vate car over the road where he was
formerly mplOyed.-Leslie's Weekly.

"Aalna" a Rug.

A good deal of fraud Is practised in
selling antique "Kazaks." "Daghe-
STAINS" and similar rugs. for there are
hardly any of these which are more
than Is years old. They are "aged"
artifcially. But You must understand,
nevertheless, that these rugs are well
made Of the very finest woods, and the
native dyes used are pure and good.
When they have been made they are
lent in the village to "the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick-mak er"-to
any one, in fact, in whose house there
is plenty of traffic. Here the carpets
are trampled upon and made to look
old They are afterwards washed in
a running stream and then dried in
the sun. And by these means the
rugs get an antique complexion and a
certain gloss which is much appreciat-
ed. What may be called a genuine
antique" is thus manufactured and
sold in the bazaar for ten times or
twenty times the price for which it
could be bought in London.-Constan-
tinople Letter to London Mail.

The pow.r 10 plsns.-

The power to please Is tremendous
asset What can be more valuable
than a personality which always at
tracts, never repels? 1t is not only
valuable in business, but also In every
field of life, II makes statesmen and
politicians, IL brings clients to the
lawyer and patients to the physician,
1t is worth everything to the clergy
man. No matter what career you en-
ter, you cannot overestimate the I'M
portance OF cultlvating that charm of
manner, those personal qualities which
attract people to you, They will take
the place of capital or influence. They
are often a substitute for large
amount of hard work.
Some men attract business, custom
ers, clients, patients, as naturally as
magnets attract particles of steel. Ev-
erything seems to point their way, for
the same reason that the steel part
icles point toward the magnet-be-
cause they are attracted.
Such men are business magnets,
when they do not apparently make
half so much effort to get 1t as the
less successful. Their friends call
them lucky dogs But If we analy2e
these men closely we find that they
have attractive qualities. There is
usually some charm OF personality
about them that wins all hearts-O,

TO SHOOT MOTORISTS.
Marquis Of oueensbury Plans to Use
His Gun.

The latest and most drastic propos'
al for checking reckless motorists is
that OF the Marquis of Queensbury,
who has inquired at the West London
police court III am at liberty to car
ny revolver or rife to protect my
self and my family against sudden
death on the road?"
His LordshlD said he resided in
Edith Villas. of the Hammersmith
Road, and twice In the last ten days
he has been nearly killed in crossing
the road. On Tuesday morning mo-
tor car. going at rate of at least rs
miles an hour. came along without
any warning and graZed his arm. He
dared not send his children to the
park, unless he were with them. as
the nurse refused to take the RESPONSE
bility. He had complained to the po-
lice, and had also wired to the COM
missioner, but had received no reply,
81 am not" continued the Marquis,
"a timid man. having served In her
late Maiesty's navy, and lived and
travelled extensively in the outlying
parts of Africa. North and South
America, Australia. Russia and 81
IBERIA. During all those travels |
never carried arms, being peaceful

trate II am at liberty to carry re-
volver or rife to protect myself, In
India or Africa if man run amuck
he is shot like a dog. and ask what
difference there Is between the motor
flend and the man who runs amuck?"
The Magistrate. Mr.. Lane. said the
application was an interesting one,
no doubt the Marquis had good
grounds for complaint. But he would
probably get into. some difficulty If he
took a loaded rifle through the streets
On the other hand. If he could get
license for a pistol he was at liberty
to carry it about.
81 thought" observed the Marquis,
that possibly the press might take
note of my application, and so bring
to these motor drivers an apprecia-
ton of the great danger they cause"
An inspector stated that that morn
ing a telegram had been received from
the chief commissioners, directing an
officer to call on the marquis and OBJ
tain particulars of the accident to
him.-Londdn Chronicle.

The MAKING Of Mans.

Large map-making firms have geo

The modest sketch map Of the mission

as long over their work as they think

Birth of the Moon.

Year by year the moon is getting
a few inches more distant, and, revers-
ing the argument, year by year in the
great past the moon was nearer to us.
Prof. George Darwin has shown that
long, long ago the moon revolved close
to the earth, and still earlier formed
part of this globe. From that time to
the present he calculates at least fifty
four millions years must have elapsed,
The birth of the moon took place,
therefore, says The London Tele,
graph, somewhere about that date in
the past. Sir Robert Ball observed
that when the moon was near to us
it's attraction must have produced
enormous tides, many times greater
than those that wash our shores today
and he suggested that these tides, by
their powerful erosions and wasting
of the land accelerated the geologi-
cal forces and so reduced the tremen.

WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
0U=NTLY THE CAUSE.

u!umInaut, Of tho Past, One and An,
Have serious DpfeCts--AsetyIsno Gas,
with Its Clear, UnwavsrIng, Yet soft
Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.
New York, June 20.-No one can go
into our schools or meet n group of
children on the street without noticing
how large a number of them wear
spectacles. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought to wear glasses The
experience Of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inattPntlve and she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said SO
to the principal and sent note TO
the mother requesting that the child
be helped at home IL she wished her
to keep mp with her class. ore day
after 'blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child ana found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and by dint Of much sympathetic qnes-
tloning Miss c. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
ached so often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such q condition may be caused by
lack Of proper food, but in our Amerl-
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality of the artificial light. The yell
low, insufficient light of the ordinary
kerosene lamp, with Its smoky chin
ney, is about MS bad for the eyes as
can be imagined. The pickering light
from n coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadiness
due to variations in power, and a glare
peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves
of sight. The comparatively new IL
luminant acetylene gas produces as
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives clear white,
unwaverlng light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
rays of the sun that even colors APP
pear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and Cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home Mt a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped TO convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches.
schools and institutions of all kinds,
aud it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, partlcu-
larry among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

The measure of charity Is the degree
Of personal sacrifice. A story which
has probably been told before comes
from n member of the committee of an
rangements for a church fair. In her
work she employed a good natured
col0red boy, who had fetched and car
rled for her day and night He had
collected all the ported palms In the
neighborhood, and taken them 10 the
church without mlshap. He had borne
messages to every member of the COM
mttee. Although he had been paid
for the work, his eXceilnt service

ward.

him to eat as much as he could. He
Obeyed. Ice-cream freezers were
scraped to the bottom. One pretty
maid after another brought him the re-
mains of chocolate cakes. The straw
berry boxes were cleaned down to the
smallest pink stains. Still Bob ate
and smiled.
Finally, when there was nothing
more to eat, the lady came into the
room and prepared to pay for Bob's
supper. The treasurer made out the
check. 1t amounted to two dollars and
twenty-five cents.
Bob's patron looked surprised, but
said nothing, and opened her purse.
Bob stood beside her, wlpng his
mouth, and shifting from one foot to
the other.
"Thank you very much, miss" he
said. 81 ate all dey was. l done de

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Sermons
Are Brilliant.

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
II am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure Of
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles of diet.
"For several years ] was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re-
turn, however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape. Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it fair trial.
| quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and
made my breakfasts of Grape-N Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. The result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long time, followed the morn
ing meal. My digestion became
once more satisfactory the headaches
ceased, and the old feeling of energy
returned. Since that time, four years
ago, have always had Grape-Nuts
food on my breakfast table.
II was delighted to find also, that
whereas before began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearled in the work Of
preparing sermons and in study,
marked improvement IN this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet. !
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to a
sturdy condition of mental and physical
strength.
81 have known several persons who
were formerly troubled as was, and
who have been helped as / have been,
by the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my
recommendation, among whom may be
mentioned the Rev. -, now a mis-
slonary to China" Name given by

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs in women is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the

Fits Of depression or restlessness and
irritability Spirits easily affected, SO
that one minute she laughs, the next

to nervous prostration.
Nothing win relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros

er, and the battle-ground might be my
defenseless body,
My fears proved correct, The bear
made n spring and passed directly
over me upon Its antagonist.
The snake was ready for the battle,
and met It's enemy with puncture of
Its fangs, which perh' ps did not prove
fatal, owing TO the tough hide and
thick fur of the Lear.

One of the materials which it has
been proposed to utilize for railway
ties where timber is scarce is con-
crete. In a recent issue of Construc-
ton it was asserted that the expert
ment of using concrete ties on the
Lake Shore between Goshen and Lig-
onier has proved failure. Over 500
of these ties were put in the track
and have been carefully watched by
the section men and engineer of main
tenance of way. Under the pressure
and jar of the tremendous engines and
the heavy traffic the ties have begun
to dlsintegrate, and many are going
to pieces rapidly. They are found
also to lack resiliency. No more will
be put in, and the company will take
up the experiment Of other material
as a substitute for wood.
