Obedience a Helm.

There is a woman down in Indiana
who is hale and hearty at the age of
100, and when she was asked to what
she attributed her age and health she
replied, "Obedience." And this too
at a time when the women are having
the word "obey" taken out of the mar
riage service and in .otherlways mani
Testing the most supreme contempt for
the old obligation. 1t is not to be be-
lieved that there are many women who
will care to drag out an existence of
100 years in state of obedience, even
if a fair degree of health is assured.
The holy scriptures do not tell US how
lc1g the women lived, although we
know that Sarah survived until she
was 1877 and was so obedient that the
Lord blessed her with Isaac wnen she
was 80. And it is fair to suppose that
other good Hebrew wives were equally
long lived and successful. Thus we
see that obedience is of the utmost

Senator Dawes as a Botanist,

John A. Harris used to relate the
following incident, which happened
in his home town of Plainfeld, Mass:
In 1886 the late Senator Henry T..
Dawes, while driving near the town
of Plainfield, not far from Cumming
ton, his native town, lost his way and
secured the services OF William Reid,
a simple-minded youth, to direct him
the right way.
Mr.. Dawes took the boy in his car
riage, and as they were passing an
extensive pasture, the senator re-
marked that was "a fine lot Of spear
grass
That's Herds grass" remarked the
boy.
Vainly the senator tried to explain
that the boy was wrong, and finally
made a bet of SO to a cent that he
(Mr. Dawes) was right, and referred
the matter to Andrew e. Wells, an
old farmer who knew Mr.. Dawes by
sight.
Guess you have lost, senator" said
the referee, who decided the bet in the
boys favor; why, that is Herds
grass, for it belongs to Tom Herd. y
So Mr.. Dawes admitted that the joke
was on him.

This worker arranges the baked crusts
on a large pan within easy reach of
another attendant, who feeds them to
the second machine. This machine is
somewhat similar to the first, as it
also has an endless chain to keep the
crusts in motion. It has two large
reservoirs, one containing the filling
and the other the meringue. By a
ratchet arrangement enough Of the
filling and meringue is released. from
the tanks as the pie passes under
them successfully. When filled they
pass onward under an overhead baker,
which gives the top of the meringue
pleted then, and as it passes out from
under the baker it is received by
another attendant and set aside, ready
for sale.
Besides the three attendants men
toned but three more are required
for the complete operation of the ma

temperatures of the machines and
keeps them in working order; one
makes the dough and feeds it to the

Go Barehead to Church.

The custom Of going bareheaded;
which New York women have exten-
sively adopted this summer, has
spread even to the churches. At sery-
ices which are held week evenings a
large contingent Of women attend
without hats. Il hope the custom will
extend to the theaters this winter,''
said a West. Side. man. '':.Then women
will not have to hold their hats in
their laps. I always feel sorry for
women when they take off their hats
in the theater. Their hair is usually
disarranged, and taking care of a hat
all evening is a nuisance. A woman
never looks prettier than with a scarf
of lace or chiffon thrown over her
head, and it is no trouble to take care
of that. Women. wear them in Lon,
don and why shouldn't they in New
York?'

besides, poor unlettered man, who,
at So years Of age, rules Japan and
guides her armies.
Richard Barry, the war correspond
ent, says, in Port Arthur" that this
man thinks while others sleep, and
works while others eat. He is the
power behind the throne, the adviser
at the generals ear.
Many public men in Japan believe
kodama to be an unsafe person of
second-rate capacity. He had been
sent to Formosa, to ''get rid of him.
There he raised the place from saw
agery to commercial prosperity. He
could have been prime minister.

strings than be one of the strings to
be pulled. Russia is peeping up over
the border. Let us prepare. Give

So the critics were glad to get the
upstart out of the way But when the
war came, one man had his finger on
things, and knew when and where to
strike. He knew the points in the
Korean coast where an army could
be landed. He knew how sSon it
could be transported there; where all
the merchant steamers were, and how
long it would take to turn them into
transports; and he had the audacity
of genius.
He was not a very presentable man.
He had never travelled, and spoke
nothing but Japanese. He would
laugh like a boy at what he liked,
and frown over what displeased him.
And he scorned a frock coat and stuck
to a kimono. But the emperor and
the wisest heads about him knew
what Kodama was, and although they
could not, for pride's sake, give him
the command of the army, they
crowned him with power.

TIPS Lead. to Bribes,

At the recent convention In Ham
burg Of the Coal Dealers association
of Germany a. number of delegates
spoke on the practice Of tipping and
bribing. They complained that stokers
and others having to do with coal
used in manufacturing works and
large establishments OF any kind must
be given bribe money, or have their
influence used against the coal deal
ers to prevent the securing of new or
ders. The delegates urged the neces-
sity Of taking measures to abolish
the nefarious practice. Americans
travelling in Europe find the tipping
abuse very annoying. The tipping evil
has undoubtedly led to the bribery
method which now has become so vex.
atious to business people. ..-s2

MINING METHODS OF AMERICA
Why Production Here is Larger Per
CAPITA Than Aboard,

It Is not difficult to understand the
manufacturing supremacy of the Unit
ed States when one compares our coal
production statistics with those of for
eign countries, says the Boston Tran
script. The country having a cheap
supply of fuel for steam purposes will
lead in manufacturing. There are
employed in the coal mines of Great
Britain nearly 100000 men, and they
produced last year coal product val
ued at $100,000,0OO more than that of
this country. Yet with less than $685.
900 coal miners in the United States
we produced 5O,O0O,000 tons more of
coal than did Great Britain. With us
there is an average production per
miner of little less than 1000 tons
of coal per annum. Great Britain
produces 2S7 tons per capita, Germany
242 tons, France 1913 tons, and Bel.
gium 166 tons.
These figures show the immense
superiority of the American coal min
er, yet mine owners testify that it is
| due to methods rather than men, as
| make our best workmen. The differ
ence is that Great Britain largely
clings to the antiquated method of
pick mining, while here steam has
taken the place of muscle and powder
has been substituted for picks. In
the thicker coal seams there is no
! longer any pick work and the physical
exercise of drilling is no longer neces-
sary.
Yet there is another side to the
matter. The mortality from accidents
in the Illinois coal mines last year
was 2.S7 per 1000 men employed,
which is one and one-half times the
percentage of fatal accidents in Brit
ish mines. It is evident that some
means should be taken to reduce the
death rate and it has been suggested
that blasts should not be made while
the miners are still at work, but
should be set off after hours by men
chosen for this dangerous occupation.

PROBLEM IN DIETING
EVIL IN TOO GREAT VARIETY At
MEALS.
Human Stomach Not Ada pied to the
Digestion of an Excessive Number
Of Different Kinds Of Food Stuffs-
Simplicity to Be Preferred.

While variety is necessary to pro-
mote appetite and good digestion, the
stomach may be easily overworked by
an excessive number of different
kinds Of food stuffs taken at single
meal. Animals which are adapted to
complicated and varied food stuffs,
like the sheep, the goat and the COW,
which, in the course of the mornings
grazing, may swallow hundred or
more different kinds of herbs, have
complicated stomachs. The same is
true of predatory fishes, which are
often provided with more than half a
dozen different stomachs for the per-
formance Of their complicated diges'
tive work. A whale has seven stom-
acls. Man, with single stomach,
often sits down to feast at which
the whole world of appetites and
stomachs might find ample satisfac-
tion and occupation. For example,
taking an ordinary bill of fare for
illustration, we find dishes sufficient
IN variety to occupy the seven-stom'
ach power of the whales digestion.

dog; there are nuts and fruits for the
fruit and nut digesting stomach OF
the monkey; grass and herbs for the
four stomachs of the cow and the
Soat-variety enough to tax the di'
gestive power Of thirteen stomachs.
Yet man sits down to such a task
with his one small stomach, expecting

poisons of various properties and po

the face of the earth capable of di.
gesting such a dinner, and that is the
woodchuck, which, according to Prof
Draper, has fourteen stomachs.
Simplicity is the cornerstone OF
good digestion. The normal appetite
is easily satisfied with a small mum

prepared. Variety is proper enough
but the number of kinds taken at {
single meal should be limited to three
or four. If the bill Of fare is confined
to nuts, fruits and cereals, this ques
tion becomes less important, for the
reason that all fruits agree Cereals
are practically identical in their rela

wise practically uniform in their rela

WONDERFULSUN DIAL
SHOWS TIME At FIF.
TEEN PLACES. =
Aiming to Reproduce Famous Time
piece at GIamis Castle, Scotland,
Peter Hamilton OF Baltimore Has
Far Outdone the Model He Selected.

The romantic and picturesque sun
dial is coming to it's own once more.
Dial making is again an industry re-
veled in by members Of the arts and
crafts cycle, says the Los Angeles
Times.
1t was in days when interest in sun
dials was lowest that Peter Hamilton
of Baltimore conceived and executed
the design for dial unlike any other
of which We have any knowledge and
which is now one of the attractions
of the celebrated Druid Hill park in
that city.
This dial,' beautiful from an archi-
tectural standpoint, is also a mathe-
matical wonder, for it registers the
time at fifteen places, each far dis
tant from one another. From it's fif-
teen faces can be read the hours at
Rio Janeiro; Sitka, Jeddo, Jerusalem,
Fernando Pc, Cape Cod, Baltimore,
Pitcairn's island, Honolulu, London,
Cape Town and San Francisco. The
equatorial and polar planes, the latter
with the motto "Sine umbra nihil,"
make up the fifteen faces of this Pc
culiar dial
That he had constructed a wholly
original sun dial of which there is no
duplicate is a fact which surprised
Mr.. Hamilton, for he believed while
constructing it that he was repro
ducing in essential points the famous
dial at Glanis castle, in Scotland,
which is undoubtedly the finest in the
world.
There are over eight dials in all
on this famed timepiece, each of its
twenty-four facets having from three
to four dials each. This dial is cer-
tainly three centuries old, as it ap-
pears III print of the castle, behind
which it stands, previous to the year
1900, and was named in Earl Patrick's s
book Of record of a date previous to
1895.
| It was from description :, of the
Glamis sun dial, which is over TWEEN
ty-one feet high and handsomely
carved that Mr.. Hamilton drew the
plans for the dial which now stands
in Druid Hill park. Never having seen
even a photograph of the Glamis dial,
Mr.. Hamilton had only verbal descrip'
tions to work upon and he concluded
that the many faces Of the Glamis dial
must speak the time at various points
But the Glamis dial tells only Scotland
time. Thus Mr.. Hamilton's work IS

nal with him.. u u >::zs 4 81 * -
