Surely Was{a Great Woman.

(NeW Bedford, Mass, Stanoard.)
To invent an apple pie for the sake
of cheering the heart of captivating
the appetite of man will seem an I'M
worthy accomplishment in the eyes
of some who are suspicious for the
sake Of the sex. Yet it may be re-
Elected that woman herself is not In
sensible to the attractions of good
apple pie, and 1t is further to be borne
in mind that the invention of the apple
pie presupposes in the inventor virtues
and talents of the highest order. No
mere frivolous feminine Or weak
Drained woman could have devised the
apple pie. She was without question
well-poised, clear-eyed, clear headed
Individual. with an intellect for organ
ization and a heart for noble ideas. No
body but the apotheosis Of womanhood
could have invented apple pie.

TO COLOMBO NEW YORK POOR.
Helen Gould Believed to Be Behind q
New Colorado Settlement.


A colony from the crowded tene-
ments Of New York will soon be sent
to large tract near Greeley, Colo, by
a philanthropist whose name is not
given, but who is believed to be Miss
Helen Gould, says the Kansas City
Star. The land which Is being pur-
chased will cost more than 100000
and another 100000 will be spent OH
cottages, waterworks, irrigating ditch
es, fences, farm implements and seed.
Colonists must furnish certificates of
good moral character and may have
ten to forty acres each on easy pay
ments. The shiftless and vicious will
be weeded out quickly. The colonists
will receive teams, cows, chickens and
implements and be started on a self
supporting basis.
To get the largest and quickest re-
turns experienced farmers will be In
charge as supervisors to instruct the
settlers how to farm and become self
supporting. Instructors to teach the
women food values and sanitary house
keeping will be provided also.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the disease dportion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the tachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
ditlon of the mucous surfaces.

He Tells Prssbytsrlans Of Scholarships

That William ]. Bryan Is a phtlan-
thropist as well az political leader
was disclosed the other afternoon
whau In the course OF an address at
New York to members of the Presby-
tartan board Of foreign missions he
said that he was maintaining eight
scholarships in American colleges In
Japan, China and India.
II created them during my recent
tour Of the east" he said. and expect
to continue than 40 long as am able,
which I rather believe will be for some
time"
Mr.. Bryan's appearance before the
Presbyterian mission workers was the
fulf1llment Of promise made by him
on the slopes OF Lebanon year ago.
when he met member Of the foreign
board, says tho New York Herald. He
delighted his hearers with descrip-
ton Of the work Of American mission
aries as he saw 1t and gave his hearty
support to the work.
"As I told an Englishman whom I
met in the east" he said, America
cannot boast that the sun never sets
on her possessions. but we can make
the prouder boast that the sun never
sets on American philanthropy. What
America has done for Christianity in
the eastern parts OF Asia has been
equaled by no other country. Wher-
ever one goes he finds the American
workers and sees the beneficent results
Of American influence. When the ORR
emit b redeemed, America will get the
greatest credit
while In the east had a discussion
with an Englishman over the craze Of
money madness and the spirit OF COM
mercialism which has swept over the
world. The Englishman expressed the
opinion that Americans. have become
slaves to commercialism and never
have thought Of anything else. I
called his attention to the fact that,
without receiving one penny In return,
America contributes more every year
for the redemption Of India than does
England, which takes 100000. 900 out
Of that country each year. He agreed
that this was pretty good proof that
America was not what he had believed
It to be.
I'm my opinion the greatest work Of
the next few years should be done in
Japan. That country Is the gateway to
the east Serd your best men there.
Send older men than those now encoun-
tered, men who have been trained in
the work Of spreading Christianity.
Interest the government officials, and
when that is done the beginning Of a
great triumph will have been achieved.
japan is practically without religion,
and Christianity can be taught to the
people, who are Of brilliant intellect

a Sensitive Photographic Plate.

A sensitive Photographic plate has
been placed on the market which is de
veloped by simply placing it In water
of moderate temperature. In this
case the developer is placed on the
back of the plate in the shape OF q
coating and, being dissolved when the
plate is placed in water, acts upon the
gelatin coating on which the photo
graphic impression has been made. The
modification of the developer, which is
sometimes necessary to meet the de
mands Of different lengths Of exposure
is arrived at by using more or less wa,
ter, as the case may be. The new
scheme is said to be very successful
and quite convenient.

Discretion was the better part Of

In true stagecoach fashion for q few
gallons Of gasoline!
Did we meet our highwaymen again !
Yes, month later In gambling place
in Goldfeld some one struck me on the
back, and familiar voice said:
Glad to meet you again, mister. You
did us pretty good turn that day In
the desert. We made the strike, and
your gasoline did 1t. Now Just ask for
what you want. The esta blishment
