Average per cent OL increase oS-to
This was really a terrible state Of
affairs Instead of proving that the
robber trusts had been getting their
Shiny hands down into the pockets of
the Common People, the statistics had
proved that the farmers had raised
the price on their commodities more
than twice as much as the trusts had
raised their prices.
Do figures ever lie? That is a ques-
ton for the people who compiled
these tables to answer. They are
presented here for what they are
worth and just as they will appear in
the report to be issued by the state of
Kansas.
OF course it may be said that the
big. increase in the price of trust
goods was made prior to 1900, and
that since that time they have simply
been content to scoop in their profits.
This may be the explanation, or it
may be there is some other, and it is
possible that there is none at all.

However. there is one beautiful ex-
ample of how a combine can jack up
prices on things, and it is found right
here in the city of Topeka. 1t is we'll

peka was the cheapest flour market in
the state. In 1904, it is the dearest.

The strenath of Michael Angelo.

Michael Angelo relied almost en-
tirely upon form-the form Of the fig
urs and of the draperies, writes
Charles H. Cafin in St. Nicholas. He
told Pope Julian H., when the latter
requested him to paint the ceiling Of
the Sistine chapel at Rome, that he
was not a painter, but sculptor; yet,
after he had shut himself up for four
years-from 1903 to 1512-and the
scaffold was removed, result had
been achieved which is without paral-
lei in the world. Very wonderful is
the work which Michael Angelo
spread over this vast area Of 10000
SQUARE feet. The fact that there are
343 principal figures, many of colos-
sal size, besides a great number OF
others introduced for decorative ef.
feet. and that the creator of this vast
scheme was only SO when he began
his werk-all this is marvellous, prodi-
gious, and yet not so marvellous as
the variety of expression in the fig
ures of which jeremiah is only one
figure, in small side arch.

A PILLOW HINT.

Pillows wear out, just like anything
else, says a housekeeping authority,
even though one may change the tick
covering from time to time: the feath-
ers become impregnated with dust and
dirt and lose the life that is in all good
feathers at first. Then, too, years ago
feathers were not prepared, nor pillows
made according to the scientific meth
ods that now obtain. A pair Of feather
pillows bought to-day Of a reliable
firm, are not at all like the feather pill
lows Of our grandmother's day, as one
soon finds, and it would be wise for
many q housewife to go through her
bed chambers and place new pillows
on every bed, renovating the feathers
in the old pillows, perhaps. but using
them for filling sofa pillows, for which
purpose they do very we'll, but not for
affording comfortable rest and sleep at
night.

River Postman.

It is probable that London has the
distinction Of being the only port
where the ships lying at anchor are
privileged to have their letters deliv-
cred to them by river postmen, 1t be-
ing customary at other ports for sail
ors to apply personally for their let.
ters unless the ship is in dock. The
Thames is divided into two postal dis
tricts, each under the control OF q
river postman, who delivers letters
and parcels every morning in q craft
which resembles a fisher boat more
than anything else. OF these districts
the first extends from the Custom
House to Limehouse and the second
from Limehouse to Blackwell. The
river postmen start on their rounds
punctually at o'clock every morning,
and, needless to say, there Is only one
delivery a day. The mail bag may
include as many as five hundred let
ters, but this number Is largely in
creased about Christmas time. AS he
glides from ship to ship, the postman
calls out, "Ahoy there!" and hands up
the letters attached to a boathook to
the waiting crew. It only takes from
four to five hours to deliver the mail,
so that the postman does not waste
much time. In foggy weather, how
ever, it takes considerably longer, ow-
ing to the difficulties Of finding the
various ships, and Of steering between
the large vessels as they lie at an
chor.-New York Herald.

Bible Hints.

Bible Hints.
God Is willing that men should
come to Him in any way they can;
but they cannot come except through
Christ.
Many a man saw Christ in the flesh
that did not really see Him; and we,
II we see Him in the spirit, see Him
as really as any man ever saw Him.
Christ is not jealous Of His dis
ciples. He wants us to surpass His
earthly works; He will be disappoint-
ed If we do not.
When our minds are confused by
the doctrine of the Trinity, we may
think of the Comforter as Another;
when we wish to get close to the Holy
Spirit, we may think of Him al
Christ Himself.
Suggestions.
To doubt Gods love is to deny
Christ's life.
AS it Is impossible to think Of
Christ's holding Himself aloof from
men. so it has become impossible to

illustrations.
II man makes an approach to/his
house, whoever even tries to find an
other entrance can have only an evil
motive. So with those that refuse
to come to God by way of Christ.
Christ Himself said that the Father
was greater than He. II you look
at the suns image in a mirror, you
do not see all of the suns brightness,
but all Of Y you can endure.
Christ was the great ocean OF
Gods love flowing into the little bay
of our humanity; the same great tide
that pulses IN the ocean enters the
bay.
Christ is a pencil Of light entering
a closely darkened room. Place the
telescope Of faith In the path Of the
light, and you can see all Of the sun
It is possible to see from the earth.
Questions.
Am I studying Christ's life with the

DON'T PROCRASTINATE.

To the woman who would be up with
her work, / say, don't leave your dishes
unwashed. and don't leave your wash
ing until the last Of the week. 1 know
women who most always do this, and II
seems their whole household interior
is drag. 1t seems to me so much
better, says a writer in the Florida
Agriculturist, to have the washing and
ironing done the first Of the week; II
makes the week longer, seemingly, for
other work, and oh, the horrors OF
ironing on a Saturday, when one al
ways has baking and scrubbing and
general cleaning up to do.
once knew a woman who always
left her breakfast dishes unwashed un-
til she had started fire to get dinner.
Then her dinner dishes were left like
wise until supper and her supper dishes
till the next morning.
1t seems to me if were to begin
the days work with pile Of dirty
dishes, well dried and stuck, everything
would go wrong all day. Recently a
lady told me she had not washed o
dish for a whole day, and early the
next morning her husband told her he
was suddenly called away on business
and that she had to go with him.
Imagine going away to spend several
days, which they did, without enough
time given her to wash those dishes.
Scarcely anything will tempt me to
leave my dishes. 1 have seen such
kitchens, and I think know whereof
I speak when I say the woman who
leaves her dishes unwashed is gene" y
behind with her work.

This chapter was a part of that last
discourse of Jesus the night bef2Se
his crucifxion. We have here &he
last utterances Of the Master. While
there is somewhat Of disconnection
in the themes Of the chapter, there
runs through 1t all this plan: to give
to the disciples series Of truths
which would be comfort to them In
his absence. The various relations exc
listing between Jesus as the Son and
the Father form the special thought
Of our lesson. He has alreadk
spoken Of my Fathers houses" an
of the fact that IL they believed ID
God they should believe also in him.
Now, in answer to the query Of
Thomas as to the way, he declares.
that he is the Way, the Truth. ana
the Life. Jesus is the Way to the
Father, he Is the Truth that reveals
that Father, and he Is the Life which
comes from the Father. \
A study Of the verses Of our lessop
will reveal many interesting relatioud

knowledge of God. He is the bridge
from man to God. He reveals the

word is to interpret an idea. Jesus
interprets the Father.
Jesus Gorifies the Father. He said.

Jesus stands between us and God the
Father as intercessor.
Jesus's Love a Guarantee Of the
Fathers. The manifestation Of love to
the soul Of man Is a manifestation Of
the love Of the Father, as well as Of
the Son and Holy Ghost. The life
of Christ, then, shows the Father as

HE ALWAYS TOLD TEE TRUTH
BY Anne 81. Woodruff.

"Unccuth' and Awkward" how it hurt
When on his ears it fell.
Who could the fact not controvert,
Was sensitive as well.
But one there was who sympathized,
Who knew right well the youth
His mother this great comfort priced
He always told the truth.
A slow but steady plodder, he,
Along the path of life.
In business ever seemed to be
Behind hand in the strife;
But then he won his fellows trust,
They honored him in sooth-
The man unlearned, but noble, just,
Who always told the truth.
