HOLIDAYS ON SATURDAYS.

All our public holidays should be
celebrated on Saturdays. The fol-
lowing day being Sunday, the week
ly public holiday of rest, religion
and recreation makes the holiday
preceding it the more useful and
enjoyable and does not break into
the following business week, as Mon
day holidays do, to the disadvantage
of labor and business alike.
On this plan We would have our
holidays as follows:
Celebration of New Year, first
Saturday in January; Mckinley,
last Saturday in January; Lincoln,
second Saturday in February; Wash
ington, last Saturday in February
Memorial day, last Saturday in May;
Independence, first Saturday in
July; Presidents, second Saturday
in August; Labor day, first Saturday
in September; election day, first Sat
urday in November; Thanksgiving,
last Saturday in November; Christ
mas, last Saturday in December.
This plan would be a boon to la
Dor. manufacturing and business IN
terests and, | believe, a great syste-
matte advantage to all. - H. ".

they keep their own counsel and one

During the meal they watch her

a cleanly, tidy housewife; if she

President Ruehanan,s Advice.

In early life the Rev. DR.. William
NJ. Paxton wrote and committed
two sermons every week. During
vacation he preached in hotel at
Bedford Springs and among his au-
ditors was President Buchanan. At
the close of the service the president
gave to the young minister this in
teresting item from his own life:
81 noSce that you committed that
sermon to memory. / did the same
with all my speeches when a young
lawyer and found it was too great
tax on my mind. Then l tried
another way. l thought out the
speech without the use of paper and
pen. Every set address since that
time has been prepared in this man.
ner."
DR.. Paxton at once put the sug-
gestion into practice, and thence
forth all his sermons were composed
in the same way.-Church Econo-

A Rare Plant.

A year or two ago there were
among the boarderS at a mountain
summer hotel a celebrated botanist
and a certain pretentious rich wo-
man, who liked to make it appear
to the guests that she was very well
informed on all subjects. The rich
woman affected to take an interest
in the researches of the botanist
among the fora of the mountains.
81 suppose, Mr.. Caylix," said the
lady, "you find almost all the noun
tain flowers around here"
81 have found great many,
ma'am," said the botanist.
"Well, there's one kind of flower
that I've read a great deal of as be-
ing always on the hills, and Eve al
ways wanted to see it. Perhaps you
could pick me some"

What Will Be the Result?

A train is travelling at the rate
of sixty miles an hour, and on the
rear platform is a cannon pointing
directly away from the direction of
the train. This cannon fires a ball
at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
If the train is going at specified
speed and the ball is fired in the op-
posite direction, what will become of
it? Will the speed of the train and
the speed of the ball compensate
and the ball drop to the ground as
if dropped from a solid stationary
platform, or what will become of it :?

The Moons Craters.

From recent photographs the era
tiers and craterlets of the moon are
estimated to number more than 200,-
900, but less than 100000. White
patches in some craters and the
bright lines, radiating in some cases
hundreds of miles, are thought by
Professor Pickering to be due to
snow, and the less conspicuous lunar
canals, which gradually appear, in
crease and fade away in the lunar
day, are attributed by the same au-
thority to vegetation. A thin at
mosphere of carbonic acid and water
vapor may feed the plants.

His Greatest Work.

to the young man who had just

continent.
He nodded after a slight hesita-
ton.

of art over there. Of course that's
only my idea"
"AIany people agree with you"
said the art student approvingly.
"It is very fine"
"Well, now, I'm glad to hear you
say that" said the returned traveller.
"Knowing I'm not really up in art,

Fire by Friction.

A recent writer gives the follow
ing description Of the method by
which a Kafir produces fire by fric-
ton:
Two special sticks made Of light
wood are taken. One is pointed,
and in the center of the other a
conical hole is made. Placing the
latter on the ground, the nat>e
holds it firmly with his feet. Then
he puts the pointed stick in the
conical hole and begins slowly twirl-
ing it with his hands, using a good
deal of pressure, until the wood be-
comes powdered, lying round the re-
volving point in little heap OF dust.
When he thinks he has made suffi-
cient of this wood dust he twirls the
stick very rapidly, and in moment
the powder bursts into flame, which
he uses to set fire to some dried
grass.

Llamas are hrcd for pack ami

told the flesh was very rank, writes
a traveller in Bolivia. ~All | saw
killed (animals as big as red deer)
seemed lean, sinewy meat without
any fat. They feed chiefly on a
coarse shrub, called tola, growing
in higher attitudes than grass. l
have seen the llamas 10000 to ~
900 feet above ssa level, apparently
quite happy, and thriving we'll on
tola and other coarse and strong
smelling shrubs. The value of the
animal before being broken in for
packing is not very great. One Of
the mine owners l knew bought a
troop of some twenty animals to
kill for meat for his workmen, and
the cost was about 80 cents head.
The wool of these animals is some
times pulled off in large handfuls
Alen it is rotten and ready to drop,
and it is also cut off the dead pelt.
Indians plait this wool into soft
ropes for tying on packs, and some
times they spin it into thread and
weave cloth of it, but the llama cloth
is not esteemed as highly as cloth
made of sheep wool. The natives
say it will not stand the same wear
as sheep wool cloth and that it is
brittle. But to my mind this is not
to be wondered at, for no care is
taken to cultivate the wool. There
ought to be an opening for an in
dustry in cultivating and supplying
this wool to European markets.
Something, too, might be done with
vicuna wool. 1t was common to see
200 to 800 vicunas each day. Though
very timid and wild, they are easily
driven. They will not cross pack
thread stretched along the ground.
"Vicuna wool is very highly es-
teemcd. The equivalent of $50 to-
$50 is often paid locally for enough
of the choice wool to make shawl
or poncho. The Argentinians, the
Bolivians and the Indians of both
countries organize huge drives. In
each drive hundreds of vicunas are
killed with 'boleadoras,' lasos, sticks
and stones. 1t may be safely said
that no man wears any vicuna cloth
made of wool taken from a living
animal. 1t is the timidity of these
animals and their extraordinary wa
riness that alone prevent their e1-
termination"

James h. Hyde's Language Fad.

James H. Hyde of the Equitable
Life Assurance society goes to great
er lengths than is generally known
in his effort to spread the French
language in America. French long
has been the customary medium of
conversation between himself and
his intimates, but he carries his fad
into the wider circle of his business.
Not only does he address his private
secretaries, of whom he has two, in
French, but even where his CORE
spondence is with persons who speak
English only he dictates his letters
in French, and it is necessary for the
secretary to translate them before
he can transcribe and forward them
to those to whom they are addressed.

THE WORST MOSQUITOES.
Maubin, Burma, Has the Biggest and
Most Virulent Known.

Unsurpassed in all the world in
number, size and virulent activity
are the mosquitoes of Maubin, a
town of Burma, according to Y. c.
Scott O>Connor. He says: "Ones
first visit to Maubin in the mosquito
season is an experience, and to see
them under the flare of an electric
searchlight come over the ships side
in hordes and occupy like all ire
sistible army every fraction of its
surface, to see them hanging in fes-
toons from the white canvas avn
ings, the mosquito nets, the table
linen and the punka flaps and from
every object on which they can Sc
cure footing, is TO have lived IN
deed. How to continue TO live after
the novelty of the spectacle has worn
off is the definite problem that occu-
pies every ones mind in Maubin. II
is achieved in the main by intrench-
ing oneself within an iron fortress
of fine mesh. In some houses there
is a special room, a kind of inner
citadel and last refuge, which is
wholly of iron gauze, and within it
the master of the house sits like d
yanquished lion in cage.
''To enter this fortress in advance
of the enemy calls for the exercise
of agility of high order. The doors
have swing backs and are made to
close the instant that they are re-
leased. Outside them the light cav
airy of the enemy hover in clouds.
The man within, this Englishman
in his strange castle, observes your
approach with furtive and anxious
eyes, and if you be a. newcomer he
begs of you to be careful in entering.
Immediately you enter he falls with
an astonishing onslaught upon such
of the enemy as have come in on
your back, in your hair, in the
creases of your clothes and in an au-
rora of cloud about your brows.
"At one end of the chief magis-
trate's house there used to be, when
] was last at Maubin, long room
thus defended, in which he sat daily
to dispense justice, and great activi-
ty in entering was expected of the
prisoner under trial, the assembled
witnesses and the counsel employed
in each case. Many sentence, it is
whispered, has fallen with enhanced
severity from judicial lips, many a
prisoner has come away with light
er punishment as the consequence
of his manner of entering the court"

Mr. charles F Roger were united
in marriage by Rev James Nc
Dowell. The ceremony took
place at the home of the brides
parents, Mr. and Mrs H Fl Kin

few hours pleasantly with
their friends the young couple

whence they went to Walter
