The Tuners Sermon.

He struck the keys, with thoughtful air, until at last he found The faulty strings from which arose each harsh. discordant sound; Then patiently and long he worked one must be tighter drawn Until it's dangling tinniness and falsity were gone;
 One must be loosed and frightened, then
 the velvet hammers beat Would call from it a note that was
 melodiously sweet. And when with gentle craft he had
 toiled over all the board, He swept his fingers down the keys
 now in the strings were stored Great waves of dulcet harmony the
 hum of bees that swarm, The mellow diapason of the distant
 thunder storm. The chant of marching men and won-
 drous tones that women sing, And haunting, peace-fllled lullabies,
 whose measures sway and swing. Pianos" he said ,quaintly, "are like
 woman and like men They fail and falter in their grace of
 music, now and then; They weary of the sweeter tones; each
 note grows dull and hard, And with incessant discord all their
 song of life Is marred- So humankind grow out of tune until
 each smile or word Is deadened by the fretfulness with which its cheer Is blurred. And you. and I, and all of us-we | know that lots of times An unknown something tunes anew
 each heartstring till 1t chimes. An unknown something finds the strings that rust from work or
 care
 And makes them right, and leaves the
 lit of love and laughter there" And then the gray haired tuner bowed
 and smiled, and went away Nor seemed to think that he had
 preached a sermon there that day

rnI oo lMuNIrY PAR1oR.

The Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church in Cleveland, Ohio, thinks he has struck it rich in his community .parlor' He believes that it will meet a long-felt need He points out that while the churches cannot furnish home life to the very rich they can to the very poor And he adds: Young men and women whom chance and circumstances have made homeless have the same procliv- ity for falling in love and have the same right to pleasant courtship as the more fortunate ones who live in com- fortable houses It is natural for wom- en to want to meet and gossip about clothes, children and other interests which make up their lives. Where shall they meet? In the community parlor. I would not provide special en- tertainment for them. l would not. preach to them. I would simply fur nish a spacious church parlor where they could meet, say one evening a week. The more I think of the com munity parlor the better I like it. If any parlorless people want place to meet let them come to me. The church shall be a parlor to all who need one.
 The community" or courting parlor has been tried in Boston, but it didn't work there. However, Cleveland may be warmer and more sociable than Bos- ton is.

COSTS MORE, WORTH MORE.

It appears that the cost of living IS greater now than at any former time in the last twenty-two years. Meats, milk, butter, eggs and vegetables and up, though bread and breadstuffs are little lower than last year. The ad- vance in clothing and metals has been more pronounced than in food, and these and nearly everything else that the people consume are at the top price since 1884. We are assured that this is taken by political economists to indicate that the wave of prosperity in America is on the crest. with no sign, though, of an immediate break
 Of course. It costs more and more to live in this blessed country and it is worth more and more. Who that knows what living is would want to live any where else at half the price? =.

The government hopes by the use of wireless telegraphy to avoid the need of cable, which the War department has estimated would cost $927OOO, to connect Key West, Guantanamo, Porto Rico and Panama. A cable of this size, costing a large sum of money, Is con- sidered as inviting disaster at the hands of an enemy, since an indispen- sable means of communication can cas- ilv be ruined. It is maintained by the advocates of wireless telegraphy that that system is protected against such destruction, and that it would be ad- vantageous, besides being economical, to resort to wireless in place of the cable. It is a matter of policy, how ever, and the imperfections of the wire less system are being urged by it's crit ics as a reason for abandoning the ca ble. although it is admitted that the worst that can happen to wireless mes- sages is the receipt of them by an en- emy-to whom, however, they would mean little or nothing, if the messages were in cipher, as would always be the case in time of war; The proposition is 10 make use of the existing naval wire less stations, which, of course, would have to be increased in power and du ulicated in number to meet the require ments of the situation.

The Board of Health at Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, is considering puzzling proposition. It is common belief that measles and whoopingcough go easier with small -babies-than with children of larger growth, therefore, a great many mothers deliberately plan to have their babies contract one or the other of the diseases, so that they may "have 1t and be over with it." There is an epidemic of measles in Wilkesbarre, and many mothers are putting their children in the way of the infection, with the foregoing idea in view. The Health Board does not know whether it ought to interfere or let the mothers have their way.

RARE GROUSE IN BAY STATE
Massachusetts, Possesses the Only
Colony of PinnacIed in Mar
tha's Vineyard
hpecial to The Herald.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May A.
Massachusetts has in a cover down on
Martha's Vineyard a colony of eighty
or more pinnated grouse, scientifically
known as the Tympanuechus cuspido.
Marvellous as it may seem, these are
said to be the only living representa-
tives of this species in the entire world.
Natural history museums. taxider-
mists and students of nature have been
pursuing them for years, until now
specimens are said to be worth any
where from $1OO to 5000 each. Recently
a bill was passed in the legislature
putting a close time on these birds un-
til 1911.
The penalty for killing a pinnated
grouse or having one in ones posses
sion is $1OO. Hitherto the fine was $40,
which was not enough to discourage
hunting for museum specimens.
DR.. Field, chairman of the Massa-
chusetts Fish and Game association
says: "The pinnated grouse formerly
roamed all over the country from Maine
to Virginia and east of the Allegheny
mountains.
1T is a most delicious food bird, but
1t has been hunted to the vanishing
point. The flock at Martha's Vineyard
is the only one in the world. 1 intend
to put a man specially in charge to
protect 1t from specimen hunters"

Harbor. is at anchor in the outer har-
Dor, She brings about million feet
of lumber.
The demand for lumber here and at
other places supplied by the yards here
is much in excess of the supply and
promises to be for a long time to come,
as so much of the lumber at present is
going to San Francisco. The imports
will probably be far less in April than
for months.
The schooner Ariel. Captain Spicer,
got under way this afternoon for Olym-
pia. 1t has been some time since the
Ariel went to any port but here and
Aberdeen, but the recent disarran ge-
ment of shipping at San Francisco, in
which several vessels have been tied up
completely, has caused general
change in the movements.
A heavy west wind prevailed most OF
the day making 1t hard for vessels to
get away and still worse for those at
tempting to discharge cargoes at Re
dondo and other ports where there is no
protection from that direction
The first boat to go from here to a
Mexican port with a cargo of stuff from
this state is expected to leave here
about next Wednesday. 1t is the
Curacao, a small steam schooner. She
will carry mixed freight.

PAOLA SMUGGLES PHENACETIN
Italian Has Enough of the Drug to
Cure His Headaches for
Fifty Years
special to The Herald.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 4.-Customs
Inspectors Goodwin and Mills were
looking over the cabin passengers on
the Italian steamship Liguria at it's
pier at the foot of Thirty-fourth
street, Manhattan, when they noticed
Paola Guio acting in mysterious man
ner with an overcoat which he carried
off the ship and which he persstently
held in one position. The inspectors
followed Guio about the pier and when
finally the Italian attempted to leave
the pier with a friend to whom he
had intrusted the overcoat with good
deal of whispering, the inspectors i'll
vited Guio to join them aboard the
steamship for a few minutes. Inside
of the lining of the overcoat they found
a large quantity of phenacetin in bulk,
the powder carefully folded in fiat
papers and the latter sewed in little
squares inside the lining. There was
probably about 5000 worth of the eX-
pensive drug. When Guio was asked
what he carried the drug for he replied
that he suffered from headaches, but
he could not explain 5000 worth of
headache medicine as being the usual
quantity for single passenger to carry
around with him. He was taken before
United States Commissioner Shields.
What did you carry so much phen-
acetin around for?" asked the commits
sioner.
I'm suffering with headaches con-
| tinually," said Guio, "and l have to
use large quantities.
Two hundred dollars worth Of phen-
acetin should keep you out of head
aches at least fifty years." said Com
missioner Shields, after some lightning
calculation. IF you took an overdose
at one time you would never have a
| headache again, I'll warrant"
Guio was held in $500 bail for trial on
the charge of smuggling and committed
| to Jail in default of security.

Special to The Herald.
ST. PETER, Mimi, May 4.-Death
lurked in a gumdrop eaten by Mrs.
August Swenson. She was strangled
by the candy and died in a physician n S
office after half hour of, terrible
agony. The woman, who lived five
miles west of the city I'm the township
of Oshawa, came to st. Peter with her
husband.
Just as she was starting home she
bought bag of candy and was eating
1t when gumdrop entered her larynx,
causing acute strangulation. Mr..
Swenson, realizing the gravity of the
case turned his team about and drove
with all speed to the office of pny-
sician. His wife descended from the
wagon unassisted and walked up the
stairs to the Doctors rooms. She suf
fered greatly, each succeeding paroX
ysm forcing the candy farther into
the traohea, until 1t finally penetrated
deep into the lungs.
Two physicians worked over the
woman In an effort to remove the OBJ
struction that there might be a pass

tion was slow and the woman lost cor

TEST OF POWERS
MAINE AND MISSOURI RACE TO
NEW YORK
Latter viii Probably Carry of the
Honors for Speed and Target
Records-Forced and Natural
Drafts Tested
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 4-when the bat
tleships Maine, Missouri, Kearsarge
and Kentucky, the first squadron, first
division of the Atlantic fleet under
command of Rear Admiral Evans, left
Guantanamo at p. m. last Saturday,
1t was known in advance, says today's
souri, would race to New York under
natural and forced draft. Nearly every
dollar the men had was wagered on
the result.
The Kentucky and Kearsarge were
also to test their racing powers and
nearly all thS money aboard these
ships was put up in bets.
Race Begins
At a. m. Sunday the signal for the
start was given and for two hours the
battleships steamed under ordinary
draft. the Maine finally 1900 yards in
the lead. From 10 a. m. to p. m. the
ships raced under forced draft and at
1890 D. m. the Missouri overlook the
Maine and led her by 1900 yards when
the test under forced draft ended.
The pressure of the steam generated
on the battleships was unusual. and
when the squadron reached port yes
ttrday the ochre tunnels were black
with SCOT ana burned paint. Inc entlre
fleet admits that the Missouri will
probably carry the honors for target
practice and speed tests.
High Cunning Average
According to the best reports obtain
able yesterday the Missouri, COM
manded by Captain Edwin C. Pendle-
ton, has the highest average in great
gun and torpedo practice, and unless
the Ohio's average exceeds that of the
Missouri, the latter ship will capture
the trophy now held by the Oregon.
Her twelve-inch gun record is 81 hits
in 81 shots. She also has record of IL
hits in II shots with her torpedoes.
