If Columbus had not dreamed of con-
dnents on the other side of the ocean
to balance the lands that were known,
if Cyrus w. Field had not dreamed Of
a cable for communicating across the
ocean, if Professor Alexander G. Bell
had not dreamed of the possibilities
of talking across continents by the tele-
phone, If Elias Howe had not dreamed
that there was an easier way for
women to do their sewing, if Robert
Fulton had not dreamed that the Cler-
mont would sail up the Hudson, al
though the world doubted and ridi
culed himself, if all the people who
have given the world a lift by enamel
pating it from drudgery, through their
dreaming and discovery of a thousand
ameliorating appliances and inventions,
civilization would be in Its infancy to-
day.
Oh. how much we owe to the dream
ers! But all these people made their
dreams practical. They reduced them
to realities before they were of any
use. Go on dreaming. go on building
your air castles, let the imagination
have free wings to soar into the I'M
known; but come back with something
tangible. Make your dreams practical
realities, or they will be worthless

The Baobab Tree.

The baobab tree, which has been
transplanted from Africa to Asia and
America, has a fruit whose pulp
monkey b~read"-is eaten by negroes,
and seeds that re priced by natives
of Madagascar for the oil that is alb
stracted by crushing and boiling in
water. A French chemist has been in
vestigating. He finds that the round
seeds grow to a diameter of three
fourths of an inch, that their kernels
contain ifty-three per cent. of oil, with
much heterogeneous matter, and that the
Madagascar oil is a whitish solid which
begins to melt at about twenty-five de-
grees Centigrade. The odor recalls
Tinisian olive oil. The oil does not
become rancid, and is suggested as a
valuable product in place of cocoanut
oil and in fine soaps and unguents.

The best of us talk too much. "The
essence of power is reserve" said a
man who knew.
Many a reputation has been built on
silence. Many a one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and volubly into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when your
words would wound. Faithful are the
wounds Of a FRIEND" says the old
proverb, but Il wants to be mighty
sure ones friend needs the w~ounding
and that we are qualified to admins
ter it.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An incred-
ible amount of breath is used in the
evil practice Of trying to make u
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose of exalt-
ing yourself.
Shut your lips with a key when you
are inspired to babble incontinently of
yourself = your ailments, accomplish
ments, relations, loves, hatreds, hopes
and desires. 1t is only to the choice,
rare friend that one may speak of these
things without becoming q fool.-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

Flag Lockers of Big Hotels,

Nowadays the flag lockers Of the
big hotels are almost as important as
are the same receptacles on seagoing
vessels. In addition to a supply of the
national emblems to fly on all the
STATS on the roof and the one that pro-
trudes from the main entrance, each
hotel usually keeps in it's alag locker
a fairly complete set of flags of the
great. Powers, that they may be ready
at hand when some dignitary of one of
those countries stops at the hotel.
These lockers are always in charge of
one man, who is responsible for seeing
that the flags are hoisted and lowered
at the proper time.
Naturally every hotel, even the big
ones, does not keep the flag of every
nation in its locker, and when an emf
nent parsonage comes from one of the
smaller States the nan in charge Of
the flags HES him to a decorator and
rents the desired flag for as long as the
necessity lasts.-New York Press.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of J.. Pope Brown. Chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, to re-
duce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway train men,
carpenters and j~oiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed an
attorney especially to represent them,
who urged that such a reduction would
work against the prosperity of the
State and lead to a reduction in the
number of railroad employees as we'll
as of their wages. The Travellers Pro-
tectiye Association also protested that
a reduction as proposed would result In
fewer trains and poorer service.

The possession of a motor car is a
matter of great Importance to the man
whose nervous system is on the rack
all day. The mere rapid transit from
the town to the country rests the
brain and allows of that mental recre-
alton which is always the chief OBJ
ject of change of scene. The motor,
then, is one of the modern aids to pre-
ventive medicine.
AS a curative agent, however, the
motor has a peculiar value, in certain
abnormal conditions Of the nervous
system more especially. In cases of
nervou depression the eXhilaration in
duced by a run in a motor car is most
beneficial; the circulation Is improved,
the blood purified by the more rapid
respiration of fresh air, and even in
cases of pronounced insomnia regular
and refreshing sleep is obtained. In a
word, the effects of motoring are slim
ulative and tonic.-Physician, in Lon
don Chronicle.

When and where to go for a vacation is
a question which perplexes us all. There
are beautiful places in every section of the
country, but to reach them at a moderate
rate and within a reasonable time is a great
barrier.
New Jersey has bounded to the front as
a summer resort and well she might since
her shore is within reach of all. Her at
fractions are too numerous to mention, and
the accommodations provided for the tour
list being unequalled anywhere in the land.
The famous beach resorts OF New Jersey
are Atlantic Highlands. Seabright, Long
Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Bel
mar, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Point Pleas
ant, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Cape May
and Beach Haven. Each is unique in en-
vironments and caters to the best class of
summer travellers. Every convenience is at
hand for genuine enjoyment and each can
be reached by rail or boat; the lines are
both operated by the New Jersey Central,
and c.. M. Burt, G. p. A., 143 Liberty St.,
New York, has issued an illustrated bro
chure detailing the beauties and advan-
tages of the above resorts and a hundred
others. This book viii be sent to any

SUICIDE OF ARMY OFFICER
Capt. W. A. Raibourn Shoots Lieut.
w. H. Point and Kills Himself.
Was Under Arrest at the Time For
Breach of Discipline and Feared
Dismissal From Service.

Salt Lake, Utah.-Capiain W. A. Raj
bourn, of the Twenty-ninth Infantry,
committed suicide at Fort Douglas af-
ter making a murderous assault on
Lieutenant William II. Point, of the
same regiment. The Lieutenant was
shot twice by his superior officer; one
bullet penetrating the left thigh and
another inficting a deep flesh wound in
the right leg.
After Lieutenant Point had fallen
Captain Raibourn turned his revolver
on himself, sending a bullet into his
head three inches behind the right
ear: He died in q moment.
Captain Raibourn had been drinking
heavily; and the tragedy was an QUIT
growth of his arrest on the charge Of
i~ntoxication.
Captain Raibourn was appointed Of
fcer of the day at Fort Douglas d few
days ago, but failed to report for duty
and was absent twenty-four hours
without leave. He was arrested the
following day, but was given the privi-
leges OF the fort under orders not to
leave the grounds.
Captain Raibourn broke his parole in
the evening and came to Salt Lake.
Lieutenant Point, who was sent after
him with an ambulance, found him in a
Main street saloon, and the Captain
was returned to Fort Douglas under
arrest. He vas ordered to remain in
his quarters.
Lieutenant Points quarters were only
two doors from those which Captain
Raibourn occupied. The Lieutenant
had just stepped out of doors early in
the day when Captain Raibourn ap-
peared carrying a revolver. His man.
ner was threatening, and Point ex-
claimed: Now, Captain, don't do any,
thing foolish" Raibourn made no re.
ply, but Immediately began to shoot,
When other officers and soldiers ran
out, after hearing the shots, Captain
Raibourn wa lying dead and Lieuten-
ant Point was lying in front of his
quarters.
Captain Raibourn's body was en-
balmed in the post hospital and later
sent to Oakland City, Ind, where his
mother and two sisters live. He has a
brother-in-law in Chicago, Ill.
Captain Raibourn had sought to
avoid a court martial and had forward
ed to Washington, D. c., his resigna-
ton. 1t had not been accepted, and it
was supposed that a trial by court
martial awaited him. Worry over the
the probability of a dishonorable dis
charge from the army is believed to
have unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn,' who was thirty
three years old and unmarried, enlist
ed in the army in 1891 as a private.
He and Lieutenant Point had served to-
gether in the Philippines and had been
firm friends.
Lieutenant Point entered the army as
Captain of the Fifty-first Iowa Volun-
teers and later was appointed to the
regular service. He had passed the
examination and qualified for promo
ton to a ca1taincy.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is'the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts direct

any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

reply. "You see, 1 don't need 'em, for

R~ansacking the World For Goatskirs.

1t is reported that the present de-
mand for goatkid skins in England ex-
ceeds anything of the kind known be-
fore, and that the remotest places in
Europe, India, South America and else
where, wherever goats are kept, are
now visited by itinerant collectors to
obtain them. This demand arises from
the recent discovery of new methods
of treating the skins, which not only
makes them preferable to calfkid as
shoe leather, but also renders them
suitable for use in dress trimming.
When specially dyed and finished, they
find great favor with dressmakers, and
are used for vests, strappings, revers,
pipings, blouses, and even for Under
skirts for country wear. They also
play a part in recent millinery.
