DRY fell upon certain portions Of Lon
don and also on that night came the
first announcement Of the border ris-
ings against the Persian government
In the province of Khorassan- the an
nouncement that, speculated upon,
even smiled at, at the time, assumed
such significance in the light Of after
events.
At 8 o'clock the news spread through
the house of commons, but at 8 men in
the inner Hobbies were gossiping. not
so much upon how far Russia. while
ostensibly upholding the shah, had
pulled the strings by which the insur-
gents danced, as upon the manner In
which the st. Georges Gazette, the
Tory evening newspaper, had seized
upon the incident and shaken It In the
faces of the government.
More than once before Lakely, the
owner and editor Of the st. Georges,
had stepped outside the decorous circle
of tradition and taken a plunge into
modern Journalism, but tonight he es-
sayed deeper waters than before and
under an almost sensational heading
declared that in this apparently limo
cent border rising we had less an out
come of mere racial antagonism than
a first faint index Of a long cherished
Russian scheme. growing to gradual
maturity under the drift policy Of
the present British government.
The effect produced by this pro-
If strong, was varied.
Members Of the opposition saw, or
thought. they saw, reflection of it in
the smiling unconcern on the minis
terial benches, and the government
had an uneasy sense that behind the
newly kindled interest on the other
side Of the house lay some mysterious
seeming Of battle from afar of. But
though these impressions ran like cleo
tricity through the atmosphere, moth
ing tangible marked their passage, and
the ordinary business Of the house pro-
ceeded until half past II, when an adj
journment was moved.
The first man to hurry from his place
was John Chilcote, member for East
Wark. He passed out Of the house
quickly, with the half furtive quick
ness that marks self absorbed man,
and as he passed the policeman stand
ing stolidly under the arched doorway
of the big courtyard he swerved lit

He realized his swerve almost before
1t was accomplished and pulled him

Mistake Frequently Made by the
Cranks on Diet.

1t is wonder some people ever have
any health at all. The way to get the
most out of ones ability is to trust it,
to believe in it, to have confidence in
It. But some people seem to think
MAT the best way to get the best re-
Nults out of the digestive apparatus is
constantly distrust it, pity it. They
wallow a mouthful of fear and dys
epsia with every mouthful of food,
Ind then wonder why the stomach
does not take care of it.
Before the child can even speak
plainly 1t is taught to talk about its
poor little tummic," and this non
sense is kept up through life.
We often hear men talking about
taking the best care of their health
when they are really doing the worst
thing possible for it. They are the
worst possible enemies of their stom-
ach when they are always talking
about their digestion and expressing a
fear that they cannot eat this and they
cannot eat that, when they are think
ing all the time about how many bites
they must take of every mouthful of
food and how long they must masti-
cate it before they swallow it.
What do you mean by taking good
care of your body? Just to battle it,
and to weigh and measure your food
with the same precision that a drug
gist would dangerous drugs, concen-
trating your mind upon what you eat
and thinking about what will hurt yoli
that is not taking good care of your
body.
Do you wonder that your stomach
aches, that it is infiamed, when you
are all the time thinking about it, wor-
Fying about it, and expecting that
everything you eat is going to hurt
you?-Success Magazine.

Gigantic Potatoes.

Big potatoes which weigh as much
as man are not often seen. A small
consignment of them, however, has
just been sent off from the West In
dies. There were just six potatoes
and each was large enough to feed a
big family. Yam is the popular name
applied to this variety of giant sweet
potato. The tubers usually attain a
length of three feet and an average
weight of 80 pounds Vans weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds, however, are
by no means uncommon in the West
Indies and other parts of the tropics
where they thrive In appearance the
yams look much like the ordinary po-
tatoes on a greatly enlarged scale.
They are black or brown externally
and pale within, and are rich in starch.
When boiled they have a very pleas
ant flavor.

TIE MORAL OF PORT ROYAL.
Something We Can Learn from the
Teachings Of History.

It is possible to crush and destroy
that which was meant IN the mind OF
God to be power for good In the
church. And it Is possible on the
other hand, for holy and noble souls
to make mistakes and to be overmuch
occupied in attention to one aspect Of
truth, to forget that the whole is
greater than the part. and that the
whole body must be 'iltly framed and
knit together through that which
every joint supplieth," If the body Is
to be built up in love. There is moth
ing which we more neglect than the
teachings of history there is nothing
which will at once so cheer and 80
warm US as those teachings. In
book, the value of which is out OF all
proportion to its size, an eminent pro-
lessor of ecclesiastical history has
told us how to use these teachings
/ The diverging tendencies of spiritual
thought alike Spring from the teach
ing of our Lord himself. They are not
antagonistic, but complimentary, they
are both necessary TO the church
When shall we learn this lesson, when
will those who keep the Christian
creed whole and undefiled recognize
that there always must be divergen-
cies? The Puritan, the Catholic, or,
as it is so well put in DR.. Biggs book,
the mystic and the disciplinarian, will
always be found side by side in the
Catholic church The story of Port
0oyal is the story Of these divergen-
cies in thought-Jesuit and Port Roy
alist represented two tendencies. The
seventeenth century was not ripe for
federation. Port Royal was crushed,
and crushed because it stood for
what was unworldly as against the
worldly world.-From The Story OF
Port Royal" by Ethel Romanes.

BIG FORKS FOR EsklMos.
Table implements That Had to Be
Made to Order.

Six hundred and forty forks, silver
plated and each foot long, formed a
part of tho baggage of f. Tunnel
Doey, who left Philadelphia re-
Gently for Point Barrow, Alaska, says
the Philadelphia Record. Each of the
forks weighed a pound and a half,
and the whole accordingly weighed
nearly half ton. The forks were in
packages of 10 each, Ga packages in
all, and the whole divided into two
bales of 80 packages each. Mr.. Doey
takes them to Point Barrow, the most
northerly point in American Alaska,
as presents to the chief Eskimo tribes
there and their members, in pursu-
ance of a promise made two years
ago. Then the forks of a visiting
American party enormously impressed
the natives, who watched their use
with deep interest. Some criticism
having been offered to the small size
of the fork, which, perhaps, suffered
by comparison with walrus harpoon,
Mr.. Doey had these made to order. He
left for Seattle on his way northward
and expects to return with large
supply of walrus ivory, timing his re-
turn trip with the open water" Of

FIELD FOR ELECTRIC FURNACE
Can Be Used to Advantage Where
Water Power Is Cheap.

While the electric furnace cannot
compete with other processes in the
general production of iron and steel,
DIR. r. S. Hutton, the British metal
lurgist, finds that it may be used to
advantage where water power Is cheap,
and that it has a fairly clear field in
the manufacture of iron alloys not
easily made in the blast furnace. Many
electrical plants have been established
in Savoy and Isere, in the south Of
France, the furnaces ranging from 200
to 1000 horsepower. At Grenoble five
furnaces of 1,200-horse-power and four
of 2,000-horse-power are used to pro
duce ferrosilicon, ferrochromium, sill
socpiegels of varying composition and
manganese-silicon, and the output is
between 1000 and 5000 tons a year.
The Giraud works, soon to be en-
larged, now have an output of about
$1,700000 per year from furnaces of
IS, 000-horse-power. The product Is
5000 tons of ferrosilicon Of so per
cent and 1000 tons of 80 per cent
1000 tons of ferrochromium, 900 tons
of ferrotungsten, SO tons of ferromo
lybdenum and ten tons of ferrovana

OLD WALL USED AS A SAFE.
Vermonter Finds Purse and Coin Hid
den Nearly q Century Ago.

While Louis Granelle Of Bridgews-
ter, VT, was tearing down an old
wall of the Bridgewater town farm he
unearthed a purse hidden in a small
vault built for the purpose between
the stones. The leather was rotten
with age and fell apart as soon as
handled, but the several coins which
it contained were as bright and fresh
as on the day they left the mint. AS
the newest coin in the lot was struck
off 20 years ago and the structure was
built about 1882, it is believed that the
purse has lain in its vault three
quarters OF century. The money
found in the old wallet included IL
silver half dollars, ranging in date
from 1912 to 1882, and another coin,
probably an English fourpence, dated
1776. There were also three dimes
coined in the eos. Mr. Granelle would
not part with his souvenirs at any
price.
