IOWA HOPES FOR A QUIET

Des Moines, Ia. Feb. 2l.-Repre-
sentative John F. Offill likely will be
voted an "ortul" man by the small
bows of Iowa when the fourth of July
rolls around again, and it will be on

steered through the house today.
How ever. the citizenship of Iowa will
hail him as a deliverer, and il he wants
to run for governor ons platform of
mo BOOM he can sweep the state. It
is known though that he has aspira-
tons in that direction.
His bill in short, is Ia noise ahater
but it will be a booming success if
the senate does not get too busy with
other matters to put it through.
this crisis nothing stands between
the people and fourth of July that
will leave ear urums unrGpIured and
youth unmengled but the senate and
the governor. And it is safe to say
hat the.governor will sign the bill if

On the Evidence.

Murray F. Tuley, who gave twenty
five years Of continuous service US
Judge of the circuit court in Chicago,
was noted for the strict impartiality
with which he rendered decisions, even
when his personal bias was strongly
the other way. On one occasion, hav-
ing heard a certain famous suit, he
found himself impelled to hand down
a decision repugnant to his own incli-
nation.
do You mean you think the defend
ant was not at heart swindler?" de-
manded an intimate friend, who dared
complain Of the finding.

more on it. Then I said in my deci-
sion:

defendant is an upright and honorable
Christian gentleman

peated the jurist slowly and with en-
phasis. Then he leaned forward in
his chair, placed hand on the others
knee and exclaimed, with an air Of
vindication:

Water Is a fluid simply because its
particles. which may be compared to
an aggregation of infnitesimal pearls.
are kept separated by latent heat. Out
side heat applied to vessel containing
water causes the latent and applied
heat both to act on the air contained in
the water. Under such conditions pure
water at sea level will boil at tenn
perature of 212 degrees F. If the
barometer pressure be thirty inches.
If, however, the vessel containing this
same water be carried to the top Of
high mountain or put under the ex-
hausted receiver of an air pump it will
boil before il reaches the temperature
of 212. because the atmosphere has
been taken away so as to allow the air
contained in the water to escape be-
fore it becomes sufficiently heated to
impart that quality to the loose parti-
cles of water surrounding it. At a
height of $4,000 feet on the sides Of
the Himalaya mountains water boils
at a temperature of $50 degrees and
under the exhausted receiver Of the
air pump at only u degrees. This
proves that boiling water is not always

BABIES IN ARABIA.

Their Charms and Perfumes and tho
Shaving of Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties fo>
the babies Of Arabia, especially for
those who are Of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs Of their race. A royal
babys first toilet there consists in
winding a bandage about its body aft
er it has been carefully bathed and per.
fumed.
If the child be a girl, on the seventh
day of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods Of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved, and the disposal of the hair is
regarded as a very weighty matter. 1t
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks turning point
In the child's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but now it may
be seen by anybody and is regarded as
fairly launched on the tide of existence
Several charms are attached to it's body
for protection against the "evil eye"
Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered at night with jasmine
and before it Is used fumigated with
amber and musk and sprinkled with
altar of roses.

OIL PAINTINGS.
With a Little Care They May Easily
Be Cleaned.

Be Cleaned.
Many a good picture that has looked
dark and dirty for years from having
been exposed to the dust can easily be
cleaned and freshened in a very sim
pie way. The picture should be taken
from it's frame and duated carefully
with q soft cloth. Peel a large potato
and cut it in half, go over the whole
picture with a sponge that has been
dipped in tepid water. then with the
fiat side OF the potato rub the surface
of the picture with a light circular
movement being careful not to press
too heavily on the canvas. The potato
will soon begin to loosen the dirt and
the colors underneath will begin to
show brighter. When all the stains
and dirt have been removed the pic
ture should be sponged again in warm
water, care being taken to wash off
any starch that may have been left
from the potato.
In case the picture is badly cracked
as little water as possible should be
used, as it is apt to ooZe under the
paint and do some injury.
Many oil paintings are injured by the
dampness from the walls ON which
they are hung. The dampness is apt
to cause the canvas to decay, and
there are few canvases made to resist
its attacks. To prevent this particular
form of decay the back of the canvas
should be painted when perfectly dry
with white lead.

At THE TREATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

There is considerable curiosity to
see what the Consomolitan Quartet,
composed of local colored men, can
do and their friends will hear them
this week in vaudeville at the New
Phillips. The quartet is composed of
James Clark, Howard Harris, w.
Thompson and John Henry White.
They will give plantation medleys.
Other features on the bill that are new
to New Phillips patrons are Albert
Washington who sings, dances and ap-
pears in monologue and polite COM
edy; Binney and Chapman, character
sketch artists, vocalists and dancers;
the Cottons, in an exhibition of mental
telepathy; Howard Morris, whistler;
Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Powers, who
present The Player; the Philoscope,
which this week will show the Cali
fornia earthquake and fire pictures,
and Illustrated songs by Miss Leona
Thompson. 1t is believed the bill will
be quite a peasing one. There will
be no break in the performance this
week.

ELECTION STRATEGY.
An Incident of an English Parlia-
meata-y Contest.

In the days before the institution of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, former Lord Dundonald,
who refused TO give brides. contested
Honiton. but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of t5 a vote. -...-
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer OF n history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that lie was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive $40.
AS comparatively few people had
voted for him. this was not very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty
"Eot a farthing" was the reply.
But, my lord, you gave f10 head
to the minority at the last election, and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome On this occa sion"
Perhaps So" said the clever candi-
date. My former gift was for their
disinterested conduct in not taking my
opponents bride of f5. For me to pay
them now would be to violate my Own
principles. "-PearSon's.

The most famous prayer meeting ever
convened in this country was held in
the summer of 1906 ON the grounds of

Williamstown, Mass, says Leslie'S

They were querying what they could
do for the benefit of mankind. A thun-
derstorm occurred, and they took ref

the meeting. Seemingly the students
alone for the time being knew of the
meeting For years the place was uE-
marked and the event uncommemorat-

foreign missionary movement in this
country for the benefit of all lands and

it is remembered that $50 times this

a specific example, are so accurately
