USE FOR OLD CARPETS.

Bremen on Ocean Steamships Need
 Them to Handle Slicebars.
 The Sailors Bethel, in Boston, has found a new outlet fer its activity. It is collecting eld carpets to supply the tiremen on the 0cea1 steamships with holders, The heat in which these men work is so great that am an who had not gradually got accustomed to it would find it actually insupportable. One of the hottest things around a boiler room is the slicebar, with which the firemen from time to time poke ing into Jumps.
 the fire to prevent the coal fro cak~
 These bars, frequently become red hot, and unless the fireman protect his hands serions burns result. Experi- ments have been tried with holders of various materials, but old pieces of carpets have so far proved to be the only thing which will surely protect the hands of the men. With pieces of carpet the bars can be handled with out danger. An idea of the high tenn perature of these bars may be obtained from the fact that single days use will burn up even the thickest piece of carpet.
 A representative from the Bethel has been securing Boston auction rooms in search of old carpets which have served out their usefulness as door coverings and could be cut up in to strips for the firemen's use. He found several rolls that could be bought for a small sum each. These he purchased and divided into three or four lots, sending one to each of the several institutions doing work among , the sailors T9tre they are being cut into strips anc distributed as fast as they are cali,A f9r by the flremen.
 The Bethel has solved in this way one of the perplexng problems beset- 1 ting the fireman. Hitherto he has often been unable to get the carpet, He had not the time to go after 1t, he could not afford to buy it, and he did not know where to look to find it. When he burns his hands and cannot work ka is laid off The collecting and dis ] tripution of old carpets to the tlremen is a real n1 prcticl hedp to them.

sPo1L1NG A WAR STORY.

There is a certain war veteran in Boston whom we will call William Brown. He has an honorable record and is fond of relating incidents of the rebellion. He often tells how he got a cut on the head from the sword of 8 Confederate cavalryman. There is a small bare place which he says was the scar of the wound, Many time we who work in the same office with him have heard this story
 Brown has a brother Charles who came into the office the other day to make a call Bill was at his desk writing when Charlie walked up be- hind him and giving him a slap on the shoulder, said loosely, Well, Bill, | see you still have that scar on your head where Buffers dog bit you when we were boys" From that time one of Bills war stories gets little cred- dence from us.

MRs.SA0IE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such a woman is never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of few years, the back begins to ache, there is displacement, inflammation orulceration of the abdominal organs, female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful.
 Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and nerps, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is over taxed. It keeps the feminine organs in strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and re- cuperating therefrom it is most eff cient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be good wife and mother,
 Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa, writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham--

 CAN WE DIGEST MUCH MORE
 RAW MATERIAL FROM IMMI-
 GRAFTON?
 It Is fortunate that the report of the commissioner general of immi- grafton for the year 1905-06 appears in time to instruct and possibly to influence congress in its efforts to strengthen the immigration laws. There is an act now pending in con ference committee which slightly amends the law of 1903, But in the form in which it passed the house of representatives it is a mere legis- lative makeshift. The senate de- serves credit for dealing with the immigration problem in courag- eous and intelligent spirit. The Dillingham;, or senate, bill sought to check the alien inflow and to improve the quality of applicants for citizenship by increasing the head tax and enforcing moder- ate educational test But the house, apparently affected by the protests of certain foreign colonies and as soeiations in the larger cities, struck out the restrictions and left the bar riers against undisables as fimsy as ever
 Commissioner Sargent's report em- phasizes the folly of trifing with the immigration question. In the last two fiscal years 1904-'05 and 1905' '06-we have admitted more than 2,1O0,000 o1; ,,c l,ar knowledge of our language and being utterly unacquainted with out laws, customs and institutions. Moreover, while the volume of the incoming alien tide is steadily increasing, the character of the applicants is chang ing for the worse. Fifteen or twen- ty years ago we recruited our cit izenship almost entirely from the peo- pie of northen Europe. Ireland, Eng land, Scotland. Wales Germany and the Scandiayian nations supplied us with immigrants nearly allied to as ir
 blood, habits and ideas and readily as similable.

THE sADDEsT FACT ABOUT NEW
 YORK


 William Allen White, the Kansas ed itor and novelist, writes of New York City and Emporia (his home town) in the American Magazine. Following is MT. Whites account of the saddest thing he sees in New York:
 "Country-dwelling American men and most of the women are instinc- lively democratic. And being demo- cratic the cities sadden us country people For the city-and New York is typical of urban America-fosters too much of the sham relation between men that one finds where class lines are set. The eternal presence of a serving class, whose manners may some day petrify into servility the continual discovery that the man who brings the food or sweeps the street, or drives the cab, considers wholesome conversation with him from his pa irons as a sign of low breeding, the presence of the man who frowns for a quarter all these make the country man in New York desire to rush home and organize a Sitting Bull Lodge of Ancient and Anaiable Anarchists
 Tt is not the extravaganza of the rich, but the timber knees of too many of the poor, that disgust the country man in New York. The saddest thing in that great city, to one who comes from the frank, wholesome, clean, happy faces of the country, is not the painted lady's face, with it's glassy eyes,nor the oyer-fed, puffy-necked figures of the lazy, respectable, hotel dwelling women, who get no more eX- ercise than stuffed geese, not the be- sotted faces of the men about the bar rel houses-though merciful God knows they are sad enough; but sad der than they are the loathsome wood en faces of the men who stand decked out like human manikins in purples and greens and whatnot of modish stiffness and, for price, surrender | themselves to be made part of the landscape. For years Mickle the | painter was the lowest form of hu- manity we had in Emporia. He was the town drunkard and once they l fined him for beating his wife; drink made him a loafer and brute, But | some way one felt down in Mickie there was the soul of a man; some way one knew that he would not de 1 certain things for money; some way one always understood that Mickie could still look into the depths of per sonal degradation below him and tell whoever tempted him there to go tc he'll But, on the other hand, some way the fiunkey is just flunkey, and he seems to have given up the right tc resent personal insult when he as- sumes the miserable part. And for a
 man to commercialize his American birthright seems heart breaking | tragedy

YALE CAST FOR THE AMAZONS.' ,
 With the performance of Pinero's "The Amazons,' drawing near, the Yale Dramatic association has very satisfactorily arranged the personnel of the cast. Much difficulty has been ex- perienced in this task and many have been tried in each part. The peculiar character of several of the parts, as for instance the three daughters of Lady Castlejordan, dressed and brought up as true English ladies, necessitated much study to find men suitably fitted for them. That no one who had possi- utilities should go without trial meant that men were shifted from part to part up to very recent date. So now that a final decision has been reached, the play can run much more smoothly in rehearsals and much can be accom- plished in these last few days.
 In the cast several old friends are to be found M O. Perry, whose Fall staff in Henry the Fourth last spring was of great merit takes the part of Sergeant Shutter in this piece. Shutter has charge of the three young Anazons and all their boyish sports. Though of the gentler sex, she is a man throughout. T. Achelis, the sue. cessful Hotspur of last spring, appear in this piece as de GriyaL weather cock of a F'renchman, all emotions and desperately in love with one of the Amazons.

We are now at that stage of growth when we can afford to pick and choose, instead of throwing the doors wide open to all commers. There is room here for the desirable immigrant, and he should be encouraged to est his lot with us. But we injure him as well as ourselves when we permit our hospitality to be abused and the value of our gift of citizenship to be wantonly depreciated. New YorkTribune.

CaItD FLA hftS GUFERSI1IlONS One Mans Unlucky Mouth-Onlooker
 Who Brought III Luck.
 Card plying gives an observer an in- sight into one of the many curious phases of human nature-the almost universal belief in luck even among educated men of more than average intelligence.
 One player I knew wel--I must ad- init he also believed in astrolgy-who absolutely refused to play cards dur ing one special month in each year, because he had reason to believe that ,that month WIS unlucky to him. Yet he was one of the most level headed card players I have known and in ordinary matters man of great common sense.
 I was at one time intimately ac- quainted with a club where the stakes played for were Comparatively high and the play was consequently very good and where the players were with hardly an exception hard headed men who were kneen about winning and who were at the same time q singularly social, kindly and liberal minded body of men. Among the mem- bers was a very pleasant, quiet old gentleman whose only occupation was to spend his days at his club and especially in it's card room.
 At the period when ] first knew him he has ceased playing cards himself but was extremely fond of watching other people play. He was the most inoffensive of spectators, never made comments or criticisms and simply amused himself in watching the fall the afll of the cards. Gradually, how ever experience showed-or was inn agined to show-that any player whose cards he overlooked held bad hands with, as it was asserted, an extraor- dinary regularity.
 | He invariably asked permission be- fore sitting down beside a plyer, and the moment the player held bad cards he offered, without being asked, to l leave the table-an offer which, l am ashamed to say, was invariably ac- cepted To put the fact plainly, he was tabooed from watching card playing because he was supposed to bring ill luck by the mere fact of his vicinity.

Anna Katherine Greens "The Chief
 Legatee"-NOtes of Forthcoming
 Books and of Specially Successful
 Books of Last Seasons Issues.
 Anna Katherine Greens "The Chief Legatee' may be set down as the best detective romance, and that means that 1t is a detective romance of extraor- dlnary interest. It just abounds in thrills for the reader, Sensations fol- low in quick succession, and the mys- tery is maintained until the end of the story It is an absorbing, exciting story from start to finish. Of the book the New York Tribune says:
 Mrs Rohlfs gives us mystery and melodrama with vengeance in "The Chief Legatee." There is wedding in the first chapter, but scarcely has the heroine been made a bride before she leaves her husband, and does this in.so strange a fashion that the poor man pretty nearly collapses. He gets upon her trail only to find 1t harder to un- derstand why she left him, and as he perseveres in his search he is plunged into ever deepening bewilderment Just as he is on the point of solving his problem matters go from bad to worse. A woman appears who may be hls wife, or her tWn sister, or some one else. A waterfall sounds upon the night! Has Mrs. Ransom drowned her. self, or Is she at her husbands side in the character of another woman? There is a fortune at stake, and there IS sinister gentleman whose designs upon it lead him to intrude in the most ineomprehensible manner upon the dis tracted husband. Why are these things thus? Looming upon the horizon there IS malign force obscurely designated as the Cause, and so baleful is this ele- ment in the story that even when the curtain is rung down we are left in ig- norance of it's true character. There is only one way in which to enjoy this tissue of surprises-the reader must abdicate as a critical commentator, and must follow with childlike confi- dence wherever the author leads. If the reader chooses to do this he is at least sure of an hours diversion" '" ''The Chief Legatee" is published by the Authors and Newspapers associ- alton, a $1.50 book for 50 cents; for sale in this city at the Pease, Lewis Co.
