Mere than 1000 names are contained
in the index, among which are mum

prince marquis and count. Some Of
these titles are known to be fictitious,
while others arc genuine.
Each name is accompanied with n
personal description and some biograph-
ical details. Reference If made to the
particular method and tricks employed
by each. whether railway card sharp

THE ART OF LOBBYING.
How National Legislators Can BE
Conxed or Driven as Desired.

How National Legislators Can BE
Conxed or Driven as Desired,
Lobbying is like driving COWS. There
are times when it is best to say: sub,
boss. Come, bossy Nice bossy," and
to shake the peck measure inyitingly.
says ellison Gardner in Success And
then there are other times when the
only thing to do Is to get behind and
boiler and throw sticks into the air.
At heart Congressman are timid crea-
lures, and big noise is often mistaken
by them for big danger.
1t was the big noise" method that
was adopted by the railway brother
hoods TO "shoo' the Senate back from
passing an anti-paSs bill which would
cover railway employees and their
families. representative of the or
ganization who sat daily in the re-
served gallery sent out a telegram of
warning The response was spectacu-
lar and historic 1t is known as the
rain of kilograms They began to
come early in the day They contIn-
ued until dark, and the desk of every
Senator was piled with scores of per-
sonal entreaties. All that night they
kept on coming. The Western Union
Company was swamped, and Superin-
tendent Collins called on Philadelphia
and Baltimore for operators. All that
night and the following day the teIe-
grams poured in. 1t Is estimated that
there were no less than 10000, and
the tolls on them amounted to $780,
600. And In the Senate Democrats
We'd with Republicans for a chance to
get the floor and to offer an amend
ment exemptlng the noisy class 1t
was never intended, they explained
that railway employees should be made
to pay their fares, nor yet their fami-
lies, nor railway lawyers, nor railway
doctors. nor their families nor the
sick. nor the INDECENT, nor the home
less, nor any man looking for a job In
the grain fields. And so the Senate
framed up that momentarily foolish
list OF exceptions to an otherwise good
law.

Brought to Terms.

In the Drayton household 1t Is said
that the father Of the family has n
way OF presenting alternatives to his
children that never fails to bring them
into line.

said Mrs. DraytOn one night. i've told
him to take his medicine and then jump

hops round, and says he doesn't want TO
take the medicine ana he doesn't want
to 60 to bed -
Mr. Drayton stepped To the door OF
Bobby's room, and stood there, tall,
grace and impressive,
bobby he said firmly, III you
don't take your medicine at once ana

Bees at Every Mans Door.


Bee hives on every front porch. Civ
ing each family a supply of delicious
honey close at hand, while at the same
time the bees will inculcate their lesson
Of industry, are possibility, for the
Department of Agriculture has sue
ceeded In importing from abroad what
may be termed Il peaceful bee, which
finds our tickle climate to its liking.
The newcomer is known as the eau
casan bee. The name Is derived from
it's native locality, and Is emphasized
by habits Of life which rank 1t dis
tinctIy as the white mans bee. 1t Is
civilized, dignified and high toned. 1t
rushes with reluctance into anything
that smacks of warfare, having, In
place of the heligerent instincts of 9th
ers of its class, a predisposition to ar
btraton.
1t must not be inferred, however,
that the Caucasian has no sting at all.
Physically it IS constituted much as are
other bees and has an equal capacity
for inhicting a wound, but its weapon
Is sheathed in peace and used only in
cases Of extreme emergency.
There Is truly stingless bee, which
is a Latln-American, but which has
strong indlsposition to work, and when
temporary fits of industry seize it It's
labors are done In half hearted sort
of way, and without plan or system.
1t will follow no architectural plan in
storing honey, and all efforts to cross
1t with its Caucasian relative have
been unsuccessful.

clients is also proved by the fact that
it is mentioned in the book Of Job.
During the year 1913 there was
description of the black lead pencil
written by Conrad Gesner. He says
that pieces Of plumbago were fastened
in Il wooden handle and mixture of
fossil substance, sometimes covered
with wood, was used for writing and
drawing About half a century later
good account Of this mineral was
given, and it was then used I'm Italy
for drawing and mixed with clay for
manufacturing crucibles. We are In.
formed In Beckman's History of In
ventions' that the pencils first used
in Italy for drawing were composed
of a mixture of lead and tin, nothing
more than pewter. This pencil was
called Il stile. Michael Angelo mentions
such pencils were long used in COM
mon over the whole continent of Eu-
rope. At this period the name plum
bago or graphite was not in use. but
instead, the name molybdena or molyb-
doids, which is now applied to an en-
trely different material.
Graphite or block lead is formed in
the primary rocks. In the United States
It occurs in felspar and quartz, In
Great Britain in greensboro rock and
gness, and in Norway in quartz. The
mine at Barrowdale, England, has SUD-
piled some Of the finest black lead In
the world, but the quality varies,
owing to the rregularity with which
the mineral occurs,
The Jews were for while the only
manufacturers Of pencils. 1t requires
great skill to perfect the manufacture
according to the degree Of hardness or
softness required. OF recent years the
manufacture of pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price Of
these articles has decreased proper
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
Of artificial black lead pencils, and, on
the other hand, the greatest perfection
is attained in the making of the higher
class pencils Graphite is exposed to
heat to acquire firmness and brilllancy
Of color. Sulphur is also used to Sc
cure a more perfect coor.-Sclentlfc

Quaint Town in Massachusetts

Nowhere on the New England coast
is the white umbrella more In evidence
than in the quaint old town Of Glou-
cester, says Town and Country. From
under its grateful shelter one looks out
upon the varied scenes which have in
spired such masters Of the brush as
Duyeneck, Twachtman, Childe Hassam
and a score Of others, who in years
past have set up their easels and found
a painters JOY in the wealth Of color,
variety and picturesQueness Of this old
town by the sea. More than 200 years
have passed over its spires, roofs and
wharves, dulling into perfection those
tints which only time can perfect. Not
only wharves and ships are transferred
to the canvas, but quaint streets, with
their houses perched upon rocks, which
crop out in manner almost perilous
to the passer-by. Oldfashioned gar

COTTON PICKING.
Southern Negro in This Particular
Has No EuuuI

HAS NO Equal.
BY the middle of December the cot
ton picking season in the South is gen
orally brought TO close, but this year,
on account Of the great scarcity Of
labor throughout the cotton States,
Christmas will find a great quantity
of the fibre still on the stalks. The
planters are paying from 80 to go cents
n hundred pounds and rs good work
err picks 400 pounds n day, the income
Is considerable
BY far the best picllcrS are negroes
Each picker is supplied with "A basket
and a bag The basket is left ut the
head of the cotton rows, and the bag
is suspended from the pickcr'S neck by
a strap, and is used to hold the cotton
as it is taken from the boil. When the
bag is filed IT is emptied into the bas-
ket. and this routine is continued
through the day. When a basket is
filed it is dumped into a wagon. and
when there is load ready ii Is hauled
to the gin house, almost every large
planter having his own gin.
Almost from the time the pirEers
enter the field ana adjust their sucks
around their nccks they begin to sing
Few negroes can pick cotton without
singing. The negro rs n rule works by
music, and the picker who doesn't sing
will prove himself a mighty poor hand.
The singing is music the 'ikt- of which

or under any other circumstances "A
low soft hum dclicatcly intoncd,

is nearly always a leader and the
others join in. While from other coun-
tries may come laborcrs TO aid I'm our
agricultural Developments none viii
ever be found who can take the place
of the negro as Il cotton picker. To him
it comes natural, and at the close of
a days bending over the cotton rows,
with nlmble fingers drawing out the
long, t1eecy staple, he IS as fresh rs
when he began his work in the early
morning. His songs are continued at
nightfall when he returns from the

upon his head. There appears to be no
such thing az making him tired, hut
with the coming darkness ne Is ready
TO take part in corn Stockings. dances
and Socials. and if H. gets 70 bed by
| o'clock he is in luck. No difficulty is
experienced in getting the pickcrs up
early and off to the cotton fields. The
picker knows that an early start means
much to him. from the fact that the
heavy dew on the staple will make It
weigh The picker gains many pounds
by getting into the fields by daylight
and working like a trooper until the
sun has dried off the dew.
When the crop is In. when the pick.
crs have worked right up to christmas
eve, the planters pay them off in good
coin Of the realm, and then they are
ready for the Christmas festivities
and the southern darky gets about as
much genuine pleasure out OF the holt
days as the next person. In The South
the Christmas festivities last full
week. and to get any work out Of n
negro during that period would be i'm
possible.

why safety Matches Strike on Glass.

There are two reasons why ordinary
safety matches can be struck on
smooth glass The head Of the safety
match is composed of a mixture Of
sulphide of anthony, chlorate Of pot
assium and powdered glass. A com
paratlvely small Increase Of tempera-
t,lre will cause this to ignite. Now,
class Is a bad conductor of heat, and
the rapid passage Of the substance
over It raises the temperature OF that
substance sufficiently for that purpose.
When the glass Is rough the friction
crumbles away the loosely combined
mixture before the temperature rises
TO the point Of ignition; hence, given
the composition of the match head, the
two circumstances which answer the
question are the comparative smooth
