A MnIGy Water Slide.

Ii Perak, Il state in the Straits Set
Elements, the Naldys have one form OF
amusement which is probably not to be
enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is n huge granite slope in the
course of mountain river, down which
the water trickles about two inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out Il bed by the side of the bowlder.
This rock, the face of which has been
rendered as smooth as glass by the con.
slant flow of water during hundreds of
years, the Malays-men, women and
children-have turned into n toboggan.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water with their feet
straight out and Il hand on each side
for steering and then slide down the
sixty feet into n pool of waite.
This Is 4 favOrite sport Oh sunny
mornings, as many as POO folks being
engaged at II time and sliding so quick.
ly one after another or forming rows
of two, four or even eight persons that
they tumble into the pool Il confused
mass of screaming creatures. There Is
little danger in the game, and, though
some choose to sit on piece of plan
tain, most Of the tobogganers are con.
tent to squat on their launches.

WISDOM'S WHISPERS.

Some people are cranks simply be-

Some men secure all the glory at

A woman may know very little and
yet have way that carries conviction.

A cult in china and a craze for china
are not Synonymous, but they can lay
claim to have the same foundation, and
both have antiquity and very good
people TO back them-yes and to refer
to as having withstood the jcsts and
caricatures of wits and artists ever
since the Egyptians burned tiles on the
Nile
Hogarth. Charles Lamb, Sydney
Smith and Ba.zac have all made their
mark with brush or pen on this fasci-
mating fad of fashionable women. and,
to the writer's credit be it said, they
have each shown Il very well consd-
cred acquaintance with the matter,
and the china has always been benc-
iited by their interest.
Charles Lamb was not ashamed to
confess to an almost feminine par
tiality for old china" and lie didn't
mind admitting that when he visited
any great house he inquired first fCr

Whether the officers mentioned by
Mr.. Whlnton in his History of An
TRIM (New Hampshlre) regarded their
position seriously and lived up to their
official dignity is not told. 1t is certain
that the small boys would have hailed
the opportunity Of exercising such
functions with glee and would have
discharged their duties with vigor and
alacrity.
In 1893 the town of Antrim officially
appointed three responsible persons to
fill the position Of dog pelters. 1t was
their duty to sit near the meeting house
door and to pclt, drive away or cane
any dogs that dared to enter the sa-
cred edifice. In the official records
Of the town are found votes of subse-
quent years, continuing the vocation
of the dog pelters.
One might question which would
make the most disturbance in the
church, the chance dog or the pelters
In the exercise Of their official duties.

pretty maiden, very pink and furious.

dolph. There's no reason why you
should be ashamed of 1t. A childish
affection is the most sincere-and you

pretty maiden, thoughtfully selecting

came and-I know it was horrid of
me"
"Well," said Mr.. Randolph stlffiy.
"Well, it was just lark" she plead
ed defiantly, 'and won't you please go
-now-hurry, please" The pretty
maiden had seen her mother and father
across the room.
''If you wish it, of course" said Mr..
Randolph with most unreasonable dig
nifty.

fairly pushed him away, and in mo-
ment she turned to her father and
mother with Indignation In her eye.
well, you lost me-" she said with
hypocritical anger, "for two whole
hours, and I'm nearly starved"
The pretty maiden and her parents
dlned with friends that night, and the
pretty maiden went in to dinner with
Mr.. Randolph, to her unbounded sur
prise. Mr.. Randolph looked a similar
feeling. Then they both laughed.

tribute like that you paid to the late

that you are honestly striving for

WHY!
OH WHY +?

Od w n
n MEXICAN men very gener-
~ ally accord womankind all
the virtues of the race.
They say women are endowed
with Il keener perception of right
and wrong, quicker intuition of
justice, greater regard for truth,
and call attention to the fact that
the larger per cent. of high school
graduates year after year are
girls.
Now these same men are in con-
gress, state legislatures and city
councils, where they can endow
all degrees of executive power on
women, and why is it that they
accord so much ability in theory
and grant so little exercise of it
in the practical affairs Of govern.
ment A keener perception of
right and wrong brought to bear
on questions of corporate as
against individual interests would
be of great value in many quar-
ters and quicker intuition of
the justice of the measure would
enable legislatures to dispose of
bills looking toward humanitarian
ends with saving of time, while
a greater regard for truth would
materially improve almost any
public or private enterprise.
There are grave questions con-
fronting this generation of men
and women who have grown up
since the war, requiring clear,
high thinking and moral courage
to settle. For instance, regula-
tions of public utilities, enforce
ment of present and passage of
better laws relating to rights of
children, the problem of convert
ing shiploads of immigrants to
our ideal of citizenship, the ne
gro, the treason of Utah, to say
nothing of nice points of diplo-
macy in the relations with foreign
countries.
"Now if our chivalrous broth
ers think woman so capable and
worthy, why do they refuse her
assistance Where is the con-
slstency in attributing ability and
deny any play for its exercise {.
Why not utilize this reserve of
moral and intellectual power!" +"
may be her arguments.
The ordinary, matter-of-fact
woman fails to comprehend but
let her ever remember and cherish
the fact that her Creator intended
her for the home to be mistress
of her own domicile and mother
to her offspring.

Aside from their use rs food by man
and beast and as fertilizer in agricul-
ture, seawecds have numerous uses in
the arts and sciences. From them are
obtained soda, chlorides, sulphates, sill
icates, iodine, bromine and gelose.
They have ever occupied an important
place in the rude pharmacopoeia of the
untutorcd savage as well as of the
higher one of his more civilized breth-
ren. Certain varieties are used in stuff
ing chairs and beds. They are especial
ly suitable for the latter purpose, as
their aromatic smell is said to drive in

In view of what is now known
in re gard to the situation at Ports
month it is generally assumed
that Japan made great sacrifice
in the peace treaty. 1t is certain
that Japan might have got some
indemnity. The original demand
would never have been met. But,
as a matter of fact, Japan came
off victorious, and time will show
this to be the case. The wisdom
of the mikado and his elder states
men will be recognized in time.
Japan might have continued the
war, but another year would ha Q
cost upwards of S4o0, 600, 900,
and at the end of that time, as
suming that japanese arms were
victorious in Manchuria and at
Vladivostol, the ledoubtable Rus
sian would still be protesting
against indemnity. But by max
ing peace now this enormous ex-
pense is saved, the possibility of
financial ruin is averted and ia
pan is in a position to take part
in a great revival of industry that
will soon wipe out all evidences
of the war. Japan has done well.
The attitude of the rabble toward
the peacemakers represents only
the first impulse of the people.

DR.. WESTON is FOR BERRY
The Venerable Theoloeian congratu.
Iates Candidate On His Speeches.


The religious world, as it is repre-
sented in Pennsylvania, is concerned in
the pending political campaign more
than usual. That Is, those concerned
with the conservation of the moral in
terests of the State are cordial in their
support of the Democratic nominee for
State Treasurer.
For example, when the newspaper
comments on Mr.. W. Fl. Berry's speech
accepting the Democratic nomination
for State Treasurer reached the re-
treat of Rev DIR. Henry G. Weston,
president of CroZier Theological Semi
nary, tha. venerable educator and
clergyman was delighted not only with
the fact of the nomination. but with
the high plane upon which the candl-
date placed himself.
In proof of this fact, the following
letter from DR.. Weston to Mr.. Berry
Is apropoi
CroZier Theological Seminary.
Chester, Pa, Sept. 3, 1905.

that | have been exceedingly pleased

only admirable in spirit, but most poll.

1t Is pointed out that in walking or
running the arms and legs produce a
balancing like that of the reciprocal,
ing and revolving parts of locomo-
tive. The movements of the legs react
upon the trunk and tend to rotate it in
alternate directions about. vertical
axis. Bet the swinging of the arms,
each in unison with the opposite leg,
produces an opposing mechanical cou.
pie. the effect of which is to rotate the
trunk in the other direction, thus ba..
ancing, in part at least, the rotating
action of the legs.
