MEMoRIAM.

At a recent meeting of the Wo-

ion, the following Memoriam was
adopted:
We the Women's Christian
Temperance Union of Sistersville
w. Va, offer this tribute of love
and esteem to the memory of our
sister, Anna B. Rhodes, who enter
ed into rest April Both, 1905. Sis
ter Rhodes was a charter member
of the Union. Her associations
with the Society were such that
we shall miss her devoted loyalty
and wise counsel, while she was
resolute in all matters where duty
was involved, positive in her con-
victions of right and wrong, she
will be remembered for broad
charity, her loving, kind and SYM
pathetic character andher sterling
worth. In all the relations as
wife, mother, friend and Chris
tan we may with fitness write
over her name faithful" But
a life and character like hers fades
not with life's setting sun and
closing day. Her influence will
flow on, in the life Of others as
river whose stream makes glad the
city of God.
While we mourn the loss of such
a friend, may God help us to bow
in humble submission to His will,
knowing "He doeth all things
we'll"

HIM a permanent place in the 6ffec-
tons of the younger reading public.
Jules Verne was a true prophet and
many OF the most imaginative of his
tales have been borne out by recent
scientific developments, while still
others are on the way to fulfllment.
Placed in youthful hands, they gave
many a lad a bent toward scientific
education which has been no small
factor in this very fulillment.

the young have understood, how to
combine instruction with amusement.

OBSERVE RULES OF WAR
,atants in the Far East Have Been
ScrupulOus in Their Conduct.

war against savage races, such as
British soldiers had frequently to en-
counter.
Neither would Great Britain assent
to the clauses prohibiting the drop
ping of explosives from balloons. and
making it unlawful to fire at an enemy
pl ojectiles, charged with asphyxiating
or deleterious gases.
No exception was, however. taken
by Great Britain or by and other ma
ton, to the very stringent regulations
adopted as regards spies. Formerly
these unfortunates got exceedingly
short shrift, and such was the feeling
against them, even among humane
commanders, that but little care was
taken to sift the charges against sus-
pected individuals.
Now, however, no spy, even al
though taken in the act, may be exc
cuted without fair and proper trial;
and a spy who, after rejoining the
army to which he belongs, is subse-
q%lently captured, becomes a prisoner
of war, and cannot be punished for
his previous acts of espionage.
Also, the convention made it very
clear who were, and who were not
spies. Formerly great latitude was
permitted to individual commanders,
and innocent persons suffered accord
ingly.
But now only those can be lawfully
punished as spies who, acting clan
destinely, or on false pretences, obtain
or seek to obtain, information in the
zon of operations of a belligerent,
with the intention of communicating
it to the hostile party"
Thus, soldiers not in disguise found
within an enemy's lines, may not be
punished as spies, even although they
may be there for no other purpose
than to spy. Nor may Gispatch-riders
or military %balloonists be treated,
when captured, otherwise than as or
binary prisoners of war,
Finally, it is unlawful for a com
mspder. who may chance to be in
temporary occupation of an enemy's
territory, to compel the population Of
such territory to bear arms against
their own government.
Private property must be respected,
save in the case of urgent military
necessity" and the destruction of his
torical monuments, works Of art or
science, and of religious, charitable,
or educational institutions is strictly
prohibited.-Montreal Herald.

NATIONALP RINTSHOP
II is THE FINEST IN The WORLD

Has Installed Typesettlng Machines
Everything Is 9un by Electricity.
Over 100000 Worth Of Work
Yearly.
The Typographical Journal gives an
interesting account of the government
printing Office at Washington. The
long-talked-of introduction of typeset.
ting machines into the Office has at
length taken place, and batteries of
linotypes and m%onotypes are in full
sway.
Something was seen in print to the
effect that this introduction of machin-
cry would not affect the hand labor in
the office, which is -nonsensical. A dis
placement of hand labor must occur
when a machine that can do the work
of five hand compositors appears OH
the cen of battle.
The installmCnt of the machine com
positor adds to the marvels of the ma
tional printery, the biggest and most
up-to-date office in the United States,
if not in the world. Electricity rules
the roost. There are, for example,
over GOO electric motors (the largest
of which is of 100 horse power) sup
plying power for the machinery. Elec-
tricity lights, heats, drives and trans
ports. The engines which drive the
dynamos depend on electric pumps to
oil their bearings. Electricity is the
wax meter, the glue maker and the
tool heater. BY its aid the 1000 en-
ployes are supplied with water, and it
carries them Il their work and lights
the rooms There is an electric light
for about every twenty-five square feet,
besides clusters and ornamental ar
engagements of lamps in many places.
There are electric elevators, electric
lifts for conveying work and materials
and motors running all kinds of ma
chimes from the ruling machine to the
immense press.
Electricity helps all the processes of
work throughout the building except in
the foundry, where gas is used to melt
the stereotyping metal. A new fast
press that will print 10000 eight-page
papers per hour has a thirty horse
power motor to run it, and a small one
of eight and a half horse power to run
it at slow speed.
All this is as it should be in such an
office. The building, 175 feet wide and
40S feet long, has six acres of actual
working space. The electric power
building, 112x134, has four generators
capable of producing 2,170 horse power
under ordinary demand, or %one-fourth
more, if necessary. The output con
sists of nearly every kind of printed
matter-the Congressional Record, my
RAIDS of bulletins, bills, resolutions,
reports, ETC., and is long on tables. Pa
pers and pamphlets are printed by the
million; books are issued by the hun
dred thousand. Indeed, it is said that
the yearly output costs $4,000, 900.
Such an output deserves the very lat
est machinery or other devices that
may have a proven value.
