The Earliest Anchors,

The earliest anchors of which we have any record were of wood and gradually, through the iron anchor of one hook and the anchor in the shape of a rake. there was evolved the an- chor with the straight thick shank the two curviug arms with fattened extremities and the long cross stock The process of storing enc of these old anchors was long and laborious one. It was hove close up to the capstan or windlass: | man was let down ny rope tu hook on a huge tackle. Ky which thc anchor was then hoSted still perpendicular, to a stout project Ing timber. Then the lower end had to be hoisted UT horizontally by an- other tackle and the whole made fast. In the modern stockless anchor a chain Is attached to 1t at the balancing z point, and this is passed through a pulley at the head of the anchor davit. When tie anchor is high enough, davit and all swing round until the anchor is over the billboard, where it rests and is secured by chains.-Londop Globe.

JOKE ON THE TREASURY.

Some wag at Toledo, Ohio, perpe- Treasury Department the other day, which for a time caused cold chills to chase up and down the spinal col umn of Acting Secretary Reynolds. The following special from Washing ton explains the joke. which every body will concede was a good one and timely:
 Contrary to the general expectation the Treasury Department received this week from Toledo, O., a check for $29,- 240,000 drawn on the second National Bank of Toledo, dated August s, and signed by the Standard Oil Company. When the mail clerk in the secretary's office opened the envelope containing the check and saw the figures '$29.240,- 000,' and the signature, Standard Oil Company he hurried to the desk of Acting Secretary Reynolds with the in formation that the big oil trust had submitted to the inevitable and was paving the fine levied by Judge Lan dis. A closer examination of the check, however, disclosed the fact that it was signed Standard Oil Com pany per J. D. Rockenfeller, thereby demonstrating that someone in Toledo was trying to have fun with the off, cials of the Treasury Department The receipt of the fake check caused much amusement in official circles, and many were the jibes poked at Act ing Secretary Reynolds. who said he would gladly exchange the check for a real paper dollar

Of any one precinct in the county was boiled. gave him the county over Young.
 In the entire district, with five pre- cincts to hear from, Judge Jones re- ceived 1895 votes, Nixon 945 and Young SS7. 4 total of 3,150 votes were cast in the three counties on elec- tion day according to all the returns. This number was divided as follows: Jefferson, 2,16S; Lincoln, 710, and De- sha, PIP.
 After the city votes were counted Friday night and the election of Judge Jones was conceded he responded to calls for a speech at the Jefferson county court house and was enthus- iastically received by large gather ing of admirers. He made a fine talk to his friends, thanking them for their loyalty and confidence, assuring them that he would ever be grateful to them for their support. He said he bore no ill feelings against those who sup ported his opponents, but would en- deavor to serve the people of this dis trict in the same faithful manner that has characterized his official conduct in the past.
 T. Havis Nixon was also called on and addressed the voters for a few moments. He also thanked his friends for their support and congratulated the winner He said he would be heard from later and that he was proud of the race he made. He was also the recipient of much applause. w. B. Sorrells was next called for and he responded happily, telling his friends that he was highly pleased with the manner in which the cleo tion had passed off. He was a be- liever in honest elections, he said, and would urge that the county elections be held the same as the judicial elec- tion Friday.

kt His Word.

Many postoffice names are queer enough to make one desire an explana- ton of them. Sometimes the explana- ton is Queerer than the name itself. A minister in Cass county wrote to Washington in behalf of the residents of growing hamlet, asking that q postofice be added to its institutions. The request was favorably received, and he was asked to suggest name that would be acceptable to his neigh bors. He replied that they were not hard to please so long as the name was peculiar. The postoffice department took him at his word, and Peculiar is the name of the office to this day. Kansas City Star.

The Iron Law of Caste.

As an illustration of the exclusive ness of caste, which native of India will do almost anything to preserve, 1t might be mentioned that when money passes between low caste and high caste man the coin is thrown on the ground by the one and picked up by the other for fear of defilement. They may not stand on the same carpet or enter the same room Neither must the low caste man cross the threshold of bis superior's house or hut. If he wants to communicate with him he stands out side and bawls.

Wasteful Ignorance.

The ordinary waste of food in an English middle class family would be sufficient wholly to maintain French family of similar station, and the waste of food is at least largely due to the ignorance of cookery which pre- vails among the classes from which English domestic servants are derived.
