The Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt in his message
to the Sixtieth congress did not urge
any haste in legislation, but recon-
mended a new currency law, the pay
ment of presidential campaign expenses
by the government, greater army
and navy with at least four battleships
to be built during the coming year, the
legalizing of railroad pools when ap-
proved by the interstate commerce
commission, the punishment of dishon-
est men whether millionairs or not.
American tirmness but not obstrusive-
ness in foreign affairs and the placing
of corporations doing an Interstate
business under national control. He
especially disavowed any desire to
amend the Constitution or the central
ization of power that would conflict
with the present constitutional provis-
ions.

BUYING LAND IN KOREA.
Business Transaction Into Which Tact
Enters Largely.

Land buying in Korea is a process
which calls for both time and patience.
\ japanese investigator who has been
making inquiries on the subject has
found that the price at which land
may be procured differs greatly with
the skill of the purchaser Any hasty
attempt to buy hurts the feelings of
the owner, and creates opposition. The
best plan is to select the district on
which ones fancy rests, and either
settle quietly down there or send an
agent TO do so instead, letting it be
known in a general sort of way that
one is disposed to buy. Then the
Koreans, who class transactions in
land in the same category with the
sale or purchase of movable chattels
that is to say. as a mere means Of
procuring or spending money-will of
themselves come and offer to sell
Then, by the exercise of a little pa.
tience, a considerable tract may be
very cheaply acquired IN a few years

Would Pension Mothers.

Pensions for mothers are advocat.
ed by prominent society woman,
who has seized upon the idea of an
English writer. She argues especial
ly in behalf of the wives Of workmen
the kind of woman who, on a wage
of sometimes less than eight dollars
week, has reared large family
Without the mother, where would
the nation be?" she asks. Yet what
is the nation doing for the mothers
Of America? Surely these women
above all others should be able to
look forward 10 period of rest after
fighting the battle of life. With a
state pension how much lighter would
De the burdens Of the workingman' s
wife! What an influence for good
would she be in her old age TO the
rising generation, instead Of being
as at present a drag on the energies
Of her offspring-young people who
ought TO be able to give all their time
and devotion 20 their own families.

Antiquities at Ephesus.

One OF tie most valuable pockets OF
antiquarian treasures discovered in
recent years has been unearthed by ID.
G. Hogarth Of the British museum,
who is engaged in archaeological eX-
ploratjons at Ephesus. Some of the
coins among the 1000 objects taken
out at the artemisium are attributed
to dates between 700 and 500 years
before Christ, antedating the time of
Croesus. Some of them are of still
remoter periods, and are believed to
be older than any other coins known
to be in existence. Among the most
interesting discoveries are rude terra
Gotta figures of the goddess Artemis,
while some of the objects-jewels and
crystals, amber and beads, bone.
ivory, bronZes and articles made of
gold, silver and electrum, were prob
ably devoted by devout worshipers to
the personal use of Artemis.

CHURN FOR A HEAD PIECE.
Piece OF Mischief That Might Have
Had Fatal Results.

Nearly everyone has heard Of the
man whose dog got his head caught
In a pitcher into which he had thrust
Ii after taste of the milk at the
bottom. The man cut the dogs head
off to save the pitcher and then broke
the pitcher to get the dogs head out.
An incident with almost similar fea-
lures occurred in the little village OF
Stanton, N. c., the other day. The
children of Mr.. Uriah Bumgarner
were playing on the porch of their
home when small daughter picked
up a churn, one OF the old-fashioned
kind with large bottom and a small
opening, and In spirit OF mischief
placed ii upside down over the head
of her two-year-old brother, who was
sitting on the floor. The little girl ac-
cidentaliy dropped the churn and
dowr it went over the head of the
child, who began to yell. The father
and several neighbors ran up and
found that the boy had turned his chin
upward and the churn could not be
removed The upturned bottom Of
the churn finally had to be sawed Off
before the child could be released, and
the little chap emerged from his
unique head covering almost dead
from fright.

GREEK GIRL SPONGE DIVERS.
Globe Trotter Writes Enthusiastically
of Expert Himla Maidens.

eve were cruising in the Mediter-
ranean in the late fall" said a globe
trotter, and on a golden afternoon
we stopped beside a little feet of
sponge divers.
Nearly nude, the divers sat on the
edge of the boat. They held big
stones that would help them descend
One at a time they inhaled three or
four long breaths, and then plunged
with their great stones into the blue
water.
One boat interested us; it's divers
seemed SO graceful and young. We
drew nearer and, by Jove, the divers
were all girls.
They were young Greek girls from
Himla, an island near Rhodes. II
seeIas that in Himla the sponge div
ing is carried on by girls altogether.
These girls seemed very expert.
Their dark hair knotted on their
shapely heads, they reclined on the
sun-warmed deck till their turn came.
Then, graceful as stage dancers, they
leaped overheard, and in the seas dim
green depths tugged at the black
sponge growths.
"The captain said the Himla girls
were not permitted to marry till they
had brought up a certain quantity of
sponges from certain specified
depth"

SQUAW A NEAT HOUSEkEEPER.
She Must Live In a Tent, However,
to Prove This.

Put the squaw in a tepee and she Is
the neatest OF housekeepers, says the
Denver Republican. Everything in
one OF these big, roomy tents is in
apple-pie order. The blankets are
neatly rolled and slowed away under
the edge Of the tepee, leaving the CEN
ter clear. Bright-colored blankets
and fine fur robes are spread about,
and wonderfully beaded dance drum
hangs from one Of the poles. But, on
the other hand, put a squaw in a
house and she is anything but a sue
cess Go into one Of these frame
houses and you will find the mat
tresses laid along the floor, with the
whole family sprawling thereon. The
cracked cook stove will be In the mid
die Of the floor, with anything but
agreeable odors coming therefrom
while the meal is in progress. Out
side the bedsteads and springs will be
used as chicken roosts. But the squaw
doesn't let her housekeeping short
comings worry her. When she puts
on an elk-tooth robe, valued at any
thing from $1,000 to $4,000, and rides
to the fair or TO the agency on Sun
day astride beaded saddle, she is a
picture of contentmenr that any Of her
white sisters might envy.

MADE HIS RECORD CLEAN.
Driver Had Missed One Rock and Had
to Go Back.

Some years ago Gen: Miles started
TO drive from Red Lodge, Mont, to
Cody, Wyo., to see his friend, Buffalo
Bill. The road was rough. and the
reckless driving of the man holding
the lines made it seem rougher, but
the Indian fighter compressed his
lips and clunS to the seat without
complaint. When near Cody the gen
eral suddenly prodded the driver in
the back with his walking stick and
said CURLY: Driver, turn around"
"What?" exclaimed the astonished
driver. DO as | tell you," command
ed Mites. So the man turned the
horses about and started back to Red
Lodge. Now turn here" ordered
Miles, after they had driven a few
yards. Convinced that his distin-
guished passenger had suddenly lost
his mind, the driver turned about
once more and started for Cody.
"There!" exclaimed Miles, in a tone
of satisfaction, as the side wheels
struck stone and he bounded into
the air you hit it, Now, driver,
you can go back to Red Lodge and
tell them that you drove rs miles and
never missed a rock. You've hit
them, every one"

WATCH THE LARGE AFFAIRS.
Business Man Makes Mistake In Be-
ing Smothered in Detail.

When you are so buried in the de-
tail of your business that you cannot
get a clear, sharp view Of your affairs
in all their relations, you are in dan
ger of failure. No great general ever
takes gun and goes with his soldiers
into the thick of the fight, where he
would be so stunned by the noises,
and so blinded by the smoke Of bat
tie that Ee could not watch the move
meats of the enemy, could not see
where his own troops needed rein
forcements, or how to hurl his forces
on the weakest place in the enemy's
ranks. He must go where he can
watch every movement of the armies.
If you are going to be general in
business, you must keep where you
can get clear view of your affairs
and know what is going on every
where. While you are buried in de-
tail, your business may be in dan
gerous position, from which you could
extricate it if you knew the exact sit
uation. Many a man fails in trying 10
be a general and a private at the
same time-Success.

EVOLUTION OF GLASS EYES.
Were First Brought Into Use In the
Seventeenth Century.

"That is an artificial eye OF the sew
enteenth century" said the curator
of the medical museum. 1T isn't very
deceptive, is it," The ancient eye
resembled what is called patch.
There was band TO encircle the head,
and a semi-circle of leather with
human eye painted on it-a large, blue.
staring eye. 1t was, in fact, simply
a patch on which an eye was painted.
Next came these silver Shells said
the curator. They were inserted un-
der the lid in the empty socket. A
little more deceptive. eh?" The
shells, in shape like halves Of wal
nuts, had eyes upon them, and were
not unsightly. They were so dull and
Opaque, though, that no one would
ever have taken them for the real
thing. Next came eyes OF porce-
lain" the curator went on, waving
his hand toward a case of fairly pre-
sentable porcelain eyes, land finally
we got glass eyes-transparent, bril-
liant eyes that will never be improved
on till a movable pupil is invented,
pupil that, somehow, will work in
harmony with the other pupil. Many
an inventor is working on this NOV
able pupil idea Of course, there's
fortune in it for the successful man"
