HERoIsM IN POWDER MILLS.
Men Who Manufacture Explosive Ap-
parently Fearless Of Danger.

Il always like to read OF the heroism
OF firemen and policemen, but I think
that Virginia can pride herself on hav.
ing more heroic acts accomplished in
year than any other state in the
union said Roger Harriss, Of Char.
louisville, Va. THE Virginias and
Carolinas have 80 per cent. of the pow
der mills in the country and the Du
Pont people alone furnish the govern
ment with large amount of explosive.
The mixing process is an extremely
dangerous one and there are many
instances where the powder has ex-
ploded from seemingly no cause.
When hundreds of kegs of powder
are piled together in warehouse the
effects of an explosion are too terrible
for comprehension. When we do have
disaster 1t generally is an awful one,
but hardly. month passes when the
heroism of an employe does not save
the plants from destruction and the
lives of hundreds of workers. About
two months ago the Du Pont mill near
Norfolk caught fire from the outside
and within 100 feet of the scene of
the blaze was warehouse containing
several tons of giant powder. With
scarcely thought of the great danger
The workmen secured the fire-fighting
apparatus and quickly got the fire un-
der cnntrol.
When the danger seemed over a
sudden gust of wind blew a number
of the burning brands directly on the
roof of the powder house. Before the
roof could catch afire a half dozen of
the workmen were upon it and extin-
guished the blaze with brooms and
pals of water. This, l think, is true
heroism"

Penalties Of Fame.

Being the author of one of the

lar books. Frequent requests for
contributions of ones books to char

they could not AFFORD to buy them"
and rcsrond to the constant calls to
devote the children Of her brain to
charities, 1t would cost her from $500
to $500 .eor. without counting the
time los. in wrapping, directing and
stamping.

Civinu on Air.

A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that it does not give one
an appetite. Most open-air exercise
sends one home as hungry as q hunt
er; and If one eats largely in these
days of strict regime and unrestrict-
ed diet, all sorts of terrible things are
sure to happen-at least are prom
ised by the doctor. 1t is pointed out
in contemporary that while all the
good effects of working up an appe-
tite are produced by long drive in
a motor, yet the amount of food re-
quired to satisfy what seems to be
ones huge hunger is actually very
small. The air itself feeds one. and
air neither upsets ones digestive ap-
paratus nor does it supply one with
adipose tissue.

A Boys Impression.

Edmund Gosse once dined with Sir
Leslie Stephen, and thus described
the impression made upon his youth
full mind by the essayist: Il shall
always remember the surprise Leslie
Stephens appearance gave me; the
long, thin, bright-red beard, radiating
in a fan shape; the wrinkled fore
head; the curious fatness Of the top
of the head, accentuated by the full
ness of the auburn hair on either
side; the long cold hands; the dis
traught and melancholy eyes. The
dinner was extremely quiet. Scarce
ly a word fell from either of the
Stephens, and We two guests, al
though chatterboxes engrained. were
subdued to silence by shynesss."

GAVE HER A SHOCK.
Preachers Text Seemed Like Home
Thrust to Choir Singer.

To the inhabitants of the little town
OF Princeton, Me-, the subject of mat
rimony Is serious one, there being
very few eligible men in the place,
while old maids are legion. The little
church in the town being without a
pastor was receiving candidate every
Sunday from some theological semi
nary, and the maiden ladies were anx-
iously awaiting for the parish to de-
eide which of the candidates should
permanently fill the pulpit.
At last the decision was made
Now, the choir was composed almost
wholly of ambitious maidens, so it is
needless to say that on the morning
of the first sermon by the new min
lister every member of the choir was
arrayed in the brightest ribbons and
gayest smiles. Perhaps the foremost
one in the chase for admirers was a
Miss Duplicy, and she had chosen the
seat in the choir where she could not
fail to be seen by the minister.
That morning the minister chose for
his sermon this subject:
Keep thine eye single" and the
first words of his sermon were these:
Beware of duplicity." All eyes
turned to Miss Duplicy. The next
Sunday she gave up her seat in the
choir.

FEW EARLY MARRIAGES NOW.
Men and Women Await Arrival of
Years Of Discretion.

The marrying age is steadily re-
ceding, and 1t is quite within the
range of probability that Al will be
regarded in the future as the equiva-
lent of the present 81.
This is partly due to the keenness
of the struggle for existence; man
desires to attain position before
marrying, and he finds the years
slipping by with disturbing rapidity
while he Is climbing the ladder,
Both men and women too, fear that
they may be deceived and many
enter into partnership with one who
will turn out to be undesirable.
So they will spend the earlier years
and then the glamor of his single life
will wear of. They will have gained
experience enough to enable them to
Judge character with fair accuracy,
and then will thus be less fearful of
being taken in
They will feel that after all, it is
better to settle down with a partner
And then marriage will come in mid
die age. The love making will not be
the same. but it may we'll be a more
solid fire-Quieter, but more enduring.

ACES Of Birds.

The doctrine of vegetarianism ap-
pears to be slightly shaken by the re-
suit of an investigation made into the
subject of the longevity of birds. With
one notable exception the carrion, or
meat-eating birds, are the longest
lived. The exception is the swan.
The average ages of the best known
birds are in the following list:
Blackbird lives II years; blackcap,
15: canary. "a: crane. "a crow, 100;
eagle. 100: fowl (common). 10; gold

WHEN REAL WORK IS DONE.
Periods Of Absolute Rest Lead to
Ideas That Win Success.

Growth is predominantly function
OF rest Work is chiefly an energy
extending and tearing-down process,
says a writer in the Worlds Work.
Rest following work is chiefly build
ins-up and growing process. Work
may furnish the conditions under
which subsequent growth may occur.
but In itself 1t Is destructive. BY
work we do things in the world, but
we do not grow by work. We grow
during rest. Rest is not the only con.
dition of growth, but it is one Of the
essential conditions.
The best work that most of us do Is
not begun in our offices or at our
desks, but when we are wandering In
the woods or sitting quietly with un.
directed thoughts. From somewhere
at such times there flash into our
minds those ideas that direct and con.
troll our lives, visions of how to do
that which previously had seemed
impossible, new aspirations, hopes
and desires. Work is the process of
realization. The careful balance and
the great ideas come largely during
quiet, and without being sought. The
man who never takes time to do moth.
ing will hardly do great things. He
will hardly have epoch-making ideas
or stimulating ideas.

NIMeLE WIT OF A PORTER.
St. Paul Sleeping Car Attendant Tells
Why He Went to Sleep.

Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was F. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee G St. Paul railroad, says the
Cleveland Leader. He visited all Of
the general offices in town and at the
Hollenden hotel told a story of one
of the sleeping car porters who was
recently found asleep while on duty.
This Is contrary to the rules of the
ST. Paul road. and the negro man was
in trouble when found by the inspector
on the Pioneer Limited. He had his
wits about him, however. and in re-
sponse to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said:
'Ill tell you how it was. boss. I
have only been with the company a
short time and before coming here l
was working on such and such rail-
road. The line was SO rough that l
could not get any sleep. Since l have
been working for the st. Paul the road
has been so smooth that l just could
not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the negro
violated the rules he was permitted
to keep his job on account of his wit.

Philipnine Bats.

Among the curious inhabitants Of
the Philippines, according to Prof.
Clinton, of Washington, are fruit
eating bats, some of which are nearly
as large as cats, with wings three
feet in extent.
During the day these curious crea-
lures remain hanging from the
branches of trees in roosting places,
where they congregate by the hun
dreds. They avoid the thtick forests,
and sometimes roost in lone tree on
the plains.
At twilight they become animated
and attack the fruit orchards and
cocoanut groves. They are fond of
the juice from which the natives
make tuba, or palm beer, and drink
it from the bamboo cups in which it
has been collected. Sometimes the
juice has begun to ferment, and then
the bats are intoxicated by it, and
fall helpless upon the ground, to be
killed by their enemies in the morn
ing. !,

FAMOUS MEN DIED OF ANGER.
Severe Penalty for Losing Control Of
Ones Emotions.

The emperor Valentinian, while ad-
dressing a deputation of backsliding
Germans, allowed his angry emotions
to get the upper hand of his common
sense and fell dead ere he had fin
ished speaking. The celebrated Eng
lish surgeon, John Hunter, indulged in
angry dispute with one of his col
leagues at st. Georges hospital and
dropped dead at the feet of him who
had been the cause of the resentful
and bitter remarks. The Russian sur.
geon, Baddawoski, being angered at
the awkwardness of an assistant dur
Ing a surgical operation, gave free
vent to fit Of anger and expired
without moments warning
The milk as we'll as the flesh of ami
mails that have died while in a rage
has been found, upon analysis, to con-
tain elements of poison, and many an
innocent babe has been made dan
gerously i'll by nursing at the mothers
breast Immediately after that anger.
Neither the chemist nor bacteriologist
has yet been able to demonstrate the
particular poison or germ that rem
ders the milk toxic under the condi-
tions. but that a poison, and very
active and energetic one, exists is un-
questionable.

Then the Scholars Understood.

The written language is so far from
the spoken in Scotland that spelling
reform is an academic question. A
story which illustrates the many dia-
lects is told of an examination at
Aberdeen university. The examiners
were an English clergyman and a
Lowland Scotchman. The master of
the scholars put many questions to
them which were admirably an
swered; the boys brought the Is
raelites out of Egypt with simple
directness which Moses would have
envied. Then the clergyman asked:
How did Pharaoh die?" The boys
sat dumb. The Lowlander, to make
1t more plain. repeated the question:
Hoo did Phawraoh dee?" Again
there was a dead silence Next the
master himself took the matter in
hand-"Fat cam to Phawraoh at his
hinder end?" The boys answered as
with one voice: He was drooned,"
To dee" means in the Aberdeen dia-
lect to die in ones bed. These care

An exhibition of the work done by

JOINING HANDS BY LETTER.
International Exchange for School
Children Is a Success.

The German central Office for the in
ternational exchange of correspond
ence between school children has just
issued report on the working of the
institution. Since the opening of the
movement in 1897 to the end of June.
1906. there have taken part in the in
ternational exchange of letters asa
German schools, of which 160 were
girls schools; $50 French, 81 girls;
ia American; SO English, 35 Austrian,
six Belgium, three Swiss and one Aus
tralian school.
Some 10000 young persons of all
these nations have by these means
come into friendly relations with each
other and by the interchange of
thought learned something of each
others ways of life and thought. And
if. adds the committee, the large num-
ber of these have necessarily limited
their epistolary exercises to the mere
interchange OF compliments and plati-
tudes and then let the matter drop
there has been an encouraging per-
centage who have persevered and
oemented real friendship with their
correspondents, thus mutually inter-
esting and aiding each other and doing
great deal to combat international
prejudices. If such an end has been
achieved by 1000 of the 10000 the re-
suit may be regarded as highly salts
factory.
A set of rules for the general
guidance of the correspondents has
been drawn up by Prof. DR.. r. Hart
mann, of Leipsic, president of the
committee, one of which is the strong
encouragement of any approbatory
mention of drinking habits.

~ RAIL THROUGH AUSTRALIA.
Express Trains Carry Travellers With
Speed and Comfort.

The four chief towns of Australia
Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Bris-
bane-are now connected throughout
by railway, total distance of 1900
miles being accomplished by express
trains in 63 hours. A visitor from Vic
toria to New South Wales enters the
latter colony at Albury, on the south
ern border and 1872 miles from Sydney.
Albury Is the changing place, where
the traveller would have to leave
Victoria broad gauge train and enter
New South Wales train of the or
thodox four foot eight and half inch
gauge. Pullman vestibule combined
sleeping and drawing room cars and
corridor first and second class cars.
with lavatory accommodation and
electric lighting, are provided. Stop
pages for refreshments are made at
convenient intervals, and Sydney is
the day following the afternoon de-
parture from Melbourne. The time oc-
cupied in the journey of 5S2 miles is
seventeen and a half hours. In going
from New South Wales to Queensland
traveller would leave the New South
Wales railway system at Wallangarra,
492 miles from Sydney, and he would
then pass into narrow gauge Queens
land train, arriving at Brisbane, the
capital of Queensland, about a. m.
on the day after leaving Sydney, the
distance of 725 miles being accom-
plished in 2S hours.

shixer Natures Remedy.

At the football game the young
girl. despite her sable stole. shivered.
THAT shiver," said her companion,
a physician, 'is natures method of
warning you. 1t is natures preven-
tive remedy for cold.
You see the shiver is an involun-
tary rhythmical contraction of the
muscles, and there is nothing like a
contraction of the muscles for raising
the temperature of the body.
Thus when you shiver nature is
putting you through little course of
exercise to warm you up, SO that you
won't take a cold or a dose of rheu-
matism or an attack OF pneumonia.
When nature shakes you up in this
kindly way it is your duty to help her
out by moving briskly about for
while, thus making absolutely sure
your immunity from illness"
