GOLDEN WEDDING JUBILEE
William Holman and Wife Married
in ''Merrie Old England" Cele-
brating Fifty Years Of
Married Life.

The Holman family of this city are
today celebrating the Golden wedding
anniversary of the father and mother
of the family, William Holman and
wife, of fifty years of married life.
William Holman and his good wife,
are the parents of William II. Hol-
man, the well known boilermaker,
Frank G. Holman and Mrs. G. B. Rob
inson, oil of this city. They were
married fifty years ago today, June
2S. 1856, in st. Nicholas Church, in
the Parish of Brighten, Sussex, Eng
land. The groom at that time was
twenty years of age and his bride,
whose maiden name was Elizabeth
Rook, was eighteen years of age. He
was a boilermaker by trade and his
sons have followed in ther father S
footsteps, both of them being boiler
makers.
The family has been transplanted
to this country and are happy to be
in this their chosen country. Today
at the home of William II. Holman
there is a happy family party assem-
bled to do honor to the golden we'd
ding jubilee. The children are pres
ent and many grandchildren. Tonight
a grand dinner will be served all the
family and relatives, at which time
recollection of ''Merrie Old England
and their boyhood and manhood days
will be recalled.
The parents are still hale and
hearty, although both have passed
the three score and ten period in
their lives and they hope to enjoy
many more anniversary celebrations.

Public Fauit-Findinu.

The ability to point out with dis.
agreeable clearness social eviIs and
public perils is not alone enough to en-
title justly man to any great amount
OF public esteem. Cassandras in
breeches or petticoats are Of no more
real service today than in the heroic
age, and the miracle about the lady
herself was no so much that the Greeks
paid no attention 10 her forebodin KS
and warnings, but that some impa-
tient hero who had wcIK to do did not
wiring her dismal neck.
There has never been a time when
our country has needed to have ideals
of service made more fresh and attrac-
tiv, or when the real work Of the
world, zone by its sane, healthy and
kind-hearted workers, needed greater
recognition. 1t is the good rather han
the bad in us which needs encourage
ment and exposure, and IL II once hnds
work to do, the bad in us will be far
less noticeable or troublesome. 1t is a
poor gardener who devotes too much
time TO the weeds at the expense of
the Vegetables and flowers, Atlantic

WHEN HEAT IS CONFINED.
Experiments Prove Electric Lamps
often Cause Fires.

Incandescent electric lights have
caused many fires because the heat
generated by them becomes intense
when confined They are, therefore,
dangerous in those coal mines where
they have displaced other forms of
lamps. A writer says Among min
ois, where the underground workings
are lighted by electric incandesceAt
lamps, there is often a tendency to be
careless in the handling Of the lamps.
As the light is not n 6ed it is consid-
cred that the lamps may be laid down
anywhere without fear or danger.
Some experiments that have been car
ried out in England, however prove
the tallacy Of this contention and show
that an incandescent electric lamp is
equally as dangerous if not properly
handled as naked light
Investigations of H. Hall, one Of
the British government inspectors Of
coal mines, showed hat when a 16-
candle power lamp was covered with
coal dust the generation Of heat was
so rapid that within four minutes
temperature Of 450 degrees Fahrenheit
was attained and the bulb burst. His
Investigations also showed that when
the heat had risen to a certain point
evidences Of spontaneous combustion
developed and, although the lamp was
then removed from the coal, heat, gen.
Grafton still continued and finally the
coal burst into flame.

Electro MaQneta.


The familiar horseshoe magnet 10
made of highly tempered steel and
magnetized so that one end 10 north
pole, the other q south, or perhaps
more commonly known as Z negative
and positive. Once magnetized it
is always magnetic unless the power
is drawn from it by exposure to in
tense heat. An electromagnetic, how
ever. can be made from any scrap of
soft iron, from a piece of ordinary tel
egraph wire to gigantic iron shaft.
When a current of electricity passes
through an insulated wire coiled about
soft iron object, such as a nail. a
bolt or a rod, that object becomes a
magnet as long as a current Of electric
ity is passing through the coils of wire
or helix. A coil Of wire in the form
OF spiral spring has a stronger field
than straight wire carrying the same
current, for each turn or convolution
adds its magnetic field to that of the
other turns; and by having the center
of the coil of iron, which is a magnetic
body, the strength of the magnetism is
greatly Increased.-St Nicholas.

The Worlds Most Powerful Gun

Describing the making of the most
wonderful gun in the world, Day
Allen Wiley says, in the Technical
World Magazine:
Technically this great 'peacema-
keI' is called a 16-inch breech-load-
ing rife, 1t is, perhaps, unneces-
sary to say that the 'l6 inches refers
TO the diameter Of the bore, or the
calibre. In fact. this Is SO large that
q man of ordinary size can crawl in
side the muzZle without difficulty. A
better idea of the gun can be gained
when II Is stated that the forgings
for the tube and jacket weigh no less
than 1874 tons. The tube itself Is
4Sh feet in length. and, as the gun
is OF the builtup type favored by ar
tillery officers OF the present day, II
is reinforced at the base by the jack
ct, which was shrunk into position
The tube is further strengthened by
four thieknesses of metal between the
center OF the tube and the breech."

cow TALK.

A dairy COW should give milk for
at least 300 days in every IL months.
Do not send the cows out into the
pasture till the grass has obtained a
good start.
A pinch of salt after each feed will
make the cows lick the managers to the
very corners.
Most of the profit hinges on the com
fort of the COW, provided you have a
good COW to start with.
A moderate temperature in the COW
stable promotes comfort, il not OBJ
tanned at the expense of good air.
The heifer having her first calf should
be carefully handled, as 1t is at this
time her habits of milking and feed
ing are established.
Many cows that are in good flesh
now will come out in the spring SO
poor that they will have to stand twice
! in one place TO make a shadow, all DO
/ au.e If shortage If winter feed.

Many Oses Of Tea.

Hot tea will often relieve a sick
stomache or headache, is restful and
soothing 10 the nerves.
Cold tea with ice and lemon is an
almost ideal summer drink.
Cold, weak tea cleans paint admira-
bly,, eevn white paint.
1t cleans mems clothes, taking out
spots.
To clean black goods with tea, silk,
satin or cashmere, sponge thoroughly
and press with a hot iron on the wrong
side.
Tea colors lace that "old" color
which is so much desired
Green tea viii darken red hair, it is
said.
Tea leaves washed are very good TO
sprinkle on the carpet to lay the dust

Tea leaf poultices are good for weak

MAS NOT HALF THROUGH
oarky Pursued by Ghost Was Go
ing to Make Better
Time.

| Two men in southern town, get
ting into an argument made wager
| that one of them could not hire a
darby to stay all night in well known
haunted house, which no oae would
occupy.
Hunting up strapipng negro, the
man offered him S. to stay in the
house during the night, keeping awake
all of the time.
The negro entered the place In the
evening and kept walking back and
forth to keep from going to sleep.
Promptly on the stroke of midnight
the ghost appeared Unlike most
fable and, seeing the man. said:
"Ah, good evening; it seems there
will be two of us here tonight"
With bulging eyes and dropping
Jaw the other managed to stammer:
sY-y-yas sab, b-b-but dey won't be
.ong."
And suiting the action to the words
ne went out of the house and down
he road as hard as he could run
with the ghost in close pursuit When
completely out of breath, the darby
sat down by the roadside to rest, and
he ghost, coming up, blandly re-
parked: THAT was very pleasant
I'm We had just now"
And the darby replied: "Yas, sab
but it ain't-nufin-to de one
Re'se-going ter hab." .~~.@--.

Where orasshoppers Are POPULAR

There is a regular business in Italy
of making little wire cages for grass
hoppers. The insect is regarded as
lucky and If one can be kept alive in
the cage for month it is believed the
year will be prosperous. The supersti-
ton arose from this incident: A car
dinal of the Medici family invited a
bishop to dine with him in his garden.
The cardinal handed the bishop a glass
of wine. A grasshopper fell from Q
tree into the wine and the bishop did
not drink IT. The wine was afterward
found to have been poisoned.
