A att of we.tmoreland.

The Westmoreland hills are the re-
mains of an infinitely older world
giants decayed, but Of a great race and
ancestry They have the finish, the
delicate or noble loveliness-one might
almost say the manner-that comes OF
long and gentle companionship with
those chief forces that make for natu-
raj beauty, with air and water, with
temperate suns and too abundant
rains. Beside them the Alps are inhu-
man, the Apennines mere forest grown
heaps, mountains in the making, While
all that Scotland gains from the easy
enyeloping glory of its heather Vest
moreland, which is almost heatherless,
must owe to an infinitude Of fine
strokes, tints, curves and groupings, to
touches of magic and to lines Of grace,
yet never losing the wild energy OF
precipice and rock that belongs OF right
to a mountain world.-Mrs. Humphry
Ward in Century.

smallpox in the United States OF
America was SOC, OF which number 4O4
were charged to our own state.
You ask IL time cannot BE- given be-
fore legal action Is taken to punish
those who defy the benefceut law to
guard the health Of our people In this
commonwealth. The resistance to vac
cination alone demonstrates the I'm
portance Of having q law to require
the vaccination Of those who desire to
take advantage OF the schools support
ed by the commonwealth.
It Is evident that II we had no such
a law our innocent people would con-
stantly be thrown ID contact with =
disease which Is sickening 70 even the

not constantly thrown ID contact with
diseased persons.
Effects Of EpIdemIcs.
The law has been on tho statute
books for ten years, during which ume
1t has not been enforced. with result
Of two or three severe epidsmics, which
cost the state and different municipali-
ties thousands and thousands OF dol
lars and many precious lives, indcpsn-
dent of paralyzing industries In certain
centres.
Now Notwithstanding that the new
department has been In active exist
ence since June there has not been
a law suit brought by 1t to punish any
one. The person made responsible for
the executive work has trusted to the
intelligence Of our people and tried to
educate them and disabuse their minds
Of the fallacies that they have bean
taught by the charlatan.
From the fact that the department
has given eys on request over $50. .000
blank certificates and that It takes
about 1000 lay to supply the present
demand, 1t ~ evident that vaccination
Is going or xiost satisfactqrily In tho
greater part Sf our community. There
fore. still. have hope that those In
your comnHElty will come 20 their
protective - vaccination - without the
department Seiny forced to punish any,
one for violating the law which was
created for tae public good.
The Law Isxas that no child shall bl
admitted to school without producing
q certificate Of successful vaccination,
or Of having lad smallpox. Therefore.
1t is not in the power Of any one In
this form cf government 70 set aside
No one Will ever succeed In doing
away with y vaccination law In this
state, leaving US d prey to one OF the
most horrible diseases that can invade
our commonwealth. While other states
and the federal government Are pass
ing laws to protect the health Of their
people we certainly will not take step
backward toward the dark ages.

They will have the time of their lives

Then answered Jack firmly, "they
will have me to reckon with"
isn't he romantic?' thought Peggy
Then aloud, "Oh, Jack, Jack, there is a
light!' And in an instant they were
humping pier posts, the rough sides of
which were eagerly grasped by the be-
draggled pair in the rowboat. They
landed and tied the boat.
Hey, what's doing down there?"
called mans voice from the shore
Jack took Peggy's hand. The owner
of the place." he said to her softly
Then he called. I'm lost with lady"
There was silence from the shore,
and then the mans voice came back
through the rain:
"I ostl Who are youTr
I'm John Howard of Hull univer-
sity.'
"All right, come along, Mr.. Howard"
Jack and Peggy walked carefully up
the pier, and through the rain they saw
a great building that seemed strangely
close to the water for farmhouse. A
man whose face they could not see in
the darkness stepped forward.
"Come right in he said and threw
open door There on Il long bench
that faced racing shell sat dozen
men.

prised sort of way.

clear around that confounded lake
And the way l announced it to that
chump who invited us in! Wen never

"And my dose Is double one"
groaned Peggy. Think of the house
committee"
Jack left her at the door of Rose cot
tage, and Peggy slowly climbed the
stairs to report to the matron. But in
stead of fear little tremor of joy
made her throat quiver, and the pros
pect of her interview with the house
committee was not even a needle point
shadow on the clear serenity of her
happiness, for as he said good night
Jack had held her hand and whispered:
Never mind, dear, We'll grin and
bear 1t together. Won't we?'

In Venice, says the Ladies' Realm,
the women Of the lower classes accept
tributes to their beauty from perfect
strangers as a matter of course. It is
considered not only proper, but polite,
to compliment a passing maiden on the
charm of her beautiful eyes or COM
plexion. If one treads on the skirt OF
a pretty woman, one has only to say,
Pardon beautiful girl" to receive the
most dazzling smile and bow In return

The Arab steed.

An Arab steed of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in a race by an
English thoroughbred, but in other re-
spects it outshines its western rival
1t is so docile that it is treated by It's
owner as one of the family, and 1t has
mn iron constitution, for it sleeps out
Mt night without covering or shelter.
Nature protects the Arab horse with
a thick, furry coat, which Is never

ted to pass until he finds bail FOR his
good conduct in Lolodom.
The Lolos are slim, well made,
muscular race with oval reddish brown
faces, high check bones and pointed
chins, from which the beard has been
carefully piucked. They are far taller
than the Chinese and indeed than any
European race, but their marked pc
culiarity is the horn. Every male
adult gathers his hair in knot over
his forehead and then twists 1t up in
cotton cloth so that 1t resembles the
horn of unicorn.
This horn is considered sacred, and
even if Lolo settles in Chinese terri
tory and grows pigtail he stil pre-
serves his horn. The Lolo mans prtn-
cipal garment is wide sleeveless man
tie az red or black felt tied about the
neck and descending almost to the
heels. The trousers are of Chinese
cotton with felt bandages. No shoes
are worn, but a conieai hat OF woven
bamboo covered with felt furnishes q
head covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respective
ly BLACK Bones" and white Bones"
the irat being the mobiles and the latter
their vassals and retainers. There Is
also a third class of captive Chinese
and their descendants, called "Watzu,"
practically slaves, who are tattooed on

The Loios never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese wom-

The invention of clocks is by no
means a modern one. Clocks which
were run by weights were used by the
Saracens at the time of the Crusades,
and some authorities state that they
were invented by Pacificus as early as
the ninth century.
In the works of Dante are references
to machines which struck the hours,
and clocks must have been used IN
Italy about the end of the thirteenth
century. The oldest clock of which
there is any certain record was erected
in a tower in the palace of Charles v.
Of France in 1864.
