Costly Statues of the Ancients.

The famous Colossus of Rhodes cost
300 talents" sum equal to about
$4,000 in United States currency.
This sum is a trifie. however, when
compared to the price paid for a colos-
sal statue Of Mercury which was made
for the Catfish city of Averni by Zeno-
dorus. The artist was engaged upon
this great work for ten long years. and
the total cost to the city would equal
S1,175,000. What the gold and ivory
statue of Athena. in the Parthenon. or
the celebrated Olympian Zeus, both of
which were made by Phidias, cost is
not stated by any of the ancient or
modern authorities, but that it was
enormous may be inferred from state
ments maze below: Athena was array
ed in drapery made Of pure hammered
gold weighing forty talents. The coin
value of this wonderful drapery at
the United States mint today would
approximate $JS0.OOO. OF the Olym-
plan Zeus it has been said that sit was
a monster idol Of gold and ivory worth
more than the cash assets of many
modern kingdoms The head of this
great image was covered with locks of
pure gold. each weighing six minae. or
about the -alue of $4,000 in modern
gold coin

The Mosnuito At Business.

The little insect drops gently and
daintily down on to the spot it has Sc
lected for its attack, and the descent
of so light and airy a being is likely
to leave the victim unconscious of its
presence unless he has actually seen it
settle. Then the proboscis is pointed
downward and the tiny lips that form
it's tip pressed against the flesh. The
bristles within the gutterlike sheath
being then pressed together into one
solid boring implement, their common
tip is forced down on the flesh. and as
they enter the wound the trough in
which they We're lying separates from
them in the middle and becomes bent
toward the insects breast, the two lit
tie lips all the while holding on tight.
The greater part of the length of the
stilettos is then plunged into the vic
TINS flesh, and the blood is drawn up
the fine interstices of the composite
bOrer.

Shaved With a Pen.

An amusing story was told by a con-
vict after his release from Parkhurst
prison. England, of how he managed
to have a clean shave every day, to
the establishment of the governor and
warders. Surprise visits were paid to
the man in his cell. but the secret of
the shave remained an impenetrable
mystery until after his release. 1t ap-
pears that when employed in the tin
smiths shop of the Jail he secreted an
ordinary steel pen nib BY dint of
weeks Of work he tattened the nib out
and put on a double edge equal to the
best of raZors. In the cell he secreted
it on the wall by covering. it with
fattened out piece of soap which hap
pened to be of the same curiously drab
color as the wall

LINCOLN'S WIT.
what and RidicuIe Were His weap-
ona of Onense md Defense.

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons OF offense and defense. and
he probably laughed more jury cases
out Of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar.
Il once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend
man I'm Bloomington against a charge
OF passing counterfeit money" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
There was pretty clear case against
the accused. but when the chief wit
nSss for the people took the stand he
stated that his name was ]. Parker
Green, and Lincoln reverted TO this
the moment he rose 10 cross examine.
why j. Parker GreenE What did the
J. stand forf John? Well. why didn't
the witness call himself John T. Green?
That was his nume. wasn't itE Well,
what was the reason he did not wish
20 be known by his right name? Did J.
Parker Green have anything to con-
ceal, and, If not why did J. Parker
Green part his name in that Way
And so on. OF course the whole exam
ination was farcical,". Mr.. Stevenson
said "but there was something ire
sistibly funny In the varying tones and
infections Of Mr. Lincoln's voice as he
rang the changes upon the mans
name. and at the recess the very boys
In the street took it up as a slogan and
shouted y. Parker Green" all over the
town. Moreover. there was something
in Llncoln's way Of intoning his ques-
lions which made me suspicious of the
witness, and to this day | have never
been able To rid my mind Of the absurd
impression that there was something
not quite right about j. Parker Green.
IT was all nonsense, Of course; but the
jury must have been affected as | was,
for Green was diScredited and the de-
PENDANT went free."-Frederick Trevor

First ENGLISH Coffee shon.

Coffee was first publicly drunk in
England wien Ted Edwards opened
his coffee shop in London in 1862. He
imported the idea from Cairo. in which
city cafes have abounded for centuries
back. there being no fewer than 1000
there in the year 1868. French coffee,
so much i'm vogue with certain drinkers,
begins its history with Louis XIV,
who drank the first cup. Taverns for
the sale Of coffee were first opened in
Paris in 1872. ana in the following
reign they had increased to the number
of 600 or more.-London Saturday Re

The TWo-Cent Fare.

The managing auditor of a west
ern railroad system traversing
nine States reminded a reporter of
the Lincoln, Nebraska, Journal that
2-cent fare bills are pending in
every one of these States with
chances of success in several. The
Journal says: "The Boston and
Main railroad has lately reduced
its fares voluntarily to 2 cents as
far north as Bellows Falls and Con-
cord in Vermont and New, Hamp-
shire, leaving practically all of
New England south of those points
under the 2-cent fare. There are
many indications that the 2-cent
fare is to be in the near future the
general charge as the 3-cent fare
has been in the past. The Scent
fare went into effect in Nebraska
June 6, 1885, over twenty years
ago, when the population and
wealth of the State were only a
fraction of what they are now."

Elizabeth j. Logan Purkiss was
born in Reynolds county, Mo-,
November %, 1S46. She died in
Ironton March 5, 1907, aged so
years, 3 months and 7 days.
While quite young she accepted
Christ as her Savior and united
with the Presbyterian church. She
married Robert E. Purkiss Janu-
ary 10, 1872. They have had eight
children, five of whom are still

John F. Russell, Roy, Ethel and

were held from the Presbyterian
church last Thursday at 2 o'clock
P. M, and the remains were laid to
rest in the Masonic cemetery.
Mrs. Purkiss was a devoted wife,
an excellent housekeeper and a
kind and indulgent mother. Her
opportunities were limited, yet it
may we'll be said of her "she hath
done what she could" For many
years she was called to endure
great pain, yet through it all she
"endured as seeing Him who is in
visible" She hath entered into
the rest that remaineth for the peo-
pie of God. r.

Facts About the Grip.

The grip is highly infectious.
1t stimulates other diseases.
The grip picks out the weak
points of a porson's constitution.
The grip in itself is by no means
a mortal disease.
The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or
bronchitis, and the aged who sink
from heart exhaustion.
Children, while prone to the dis
ease, enjoy a comparative inn
muity from it's complications and
dangers.
In adults, the attack as rule
comes on with lightning like speed.
A person apparently in perfect
health is suddenly overcome by a
feeling of discomfort and depres-
sion.
He "runs" at the nose; He feels
chilly; His head aches; His eyes
pain him.
What to do---go to bed at once
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and quinine as directed for in
fluenza.
Do this and the grip is soon
shorn Of its terrors. For sale by

Missouri Boys Corn Growing Con-
test.

A mammoth boys corn growing
contest is being organized among
the boys of Missouri for 1907. 1t
is being conducted by the Mis-
souri, Corn Growers Association,
in corporation with the State
Board of Agriculture and the Agri-
cultural College at Columbia, and
promises to be of great interest to
every Missouri boy who has an
opportunity to grow some corn
during the coming ear. A long
list of prizes will be. offered at the
State Corn Show insJanuary, for
which every boy in the contest can
compete. There ale no fees, no
difficult requirements and every
Missouri boy is eligible. In ad-
dition to the prizes at the State
show large number of local and
county contests have been ar
ranged, at which local banks and
merchants are offering prizes. One
of these contests should be organ
lied in every community where
corn is the important crop.
There will be two classes of boys
in this contest: the young mems
class or those over 15 years and
under 20, and in the boys class, or
those Is years old and under. The
amount of corn to be grown in the
young mems class is at least one
acre, and in the boys class one
fourth acre. Corn for planting
should be secured in the neighbor-
hood if possible, SO that it will be
we'll adapted to the soil and cli-
mate. Where good corn cannot
be secured, however, the Agri-
cultural College will supply corn
of good quality to those who wish
it. Several prominent corn breed
ers have also offered to give corn
for this purpose.
All boys wishing to enter this
contest, or those wishing further
particulars should address,

A Spring Morning.

The diapason of its wakening call
Steams out the fact'ry's brazen throat,
And rudely breaks the spell that held in thrall
The land anear and far remote.
Now curling spires OF smoke from chimneys
rise,
In token OF the day begun,
For many a task the hand awaiting lies
Before the coming OF the sun.
The quick'ning breath OF Spring is on the
land,
Resolving Winters frown to tears,
Reviving yet again, on ev'ry hand,
The life that dies with all the years.
Meath cloudless skies the mists hang DER the
streams,
And in the east an opal glow
Forecasts the suns approach, whose hidden
beams
Afar his royal progress show.
Awake, ye sluggard, from your slothful rest,
And see the changing hues OF dawn!
The stars grow dim, and Shepherds rounding
crest
Soft-lined against the sky is drawn.
But down the mountains steep and rugged
side
Still cling the clammy folds OF night,
AS willed to there the onward march abide
OF him the conquering King OF Light!
How like King he comes and comes apace,
From out the roseate eastern skies,
But skulking Darkness shuns his smiling face
And from him ever westward flies!
Anon the thunder OF passing train
The echoes wakes from dale and hill,
Its progress told, and told, and told again,
With changing bell and whistle shrill.
AS grows the light, in close succession come
The varied notes OF peaceful strife;
No longer broods the forest dark and dumb,
But teens with sounds OF feathered life.
The flaming redbird's CHEEKY, welcome cry,
The robins bright and happy song,
The wren's light chirp as she goes fitting by,
The thrush's trilling sweet and strong
The finch, the mocker, cat, and full score
OF warblers nameless to my pen,
Twine wreaths OF aerial flowers irom.their
store,
To cheer the hearts OF birds and men.
AS swells from many hundred tiny throats
The birding chorus full and clear,
A golden tinge on Pilots head denotes
That now the Day-Gods face is near.
And soon above the eastern mountain range,
Which there Arcadia Valley stays,
His binding disc appears, and many change
| Transforms the land beneath his rays.
The ragged scaurs which night with mantle
dark
| Concealed from curious, searching eyes,
Unveiled, are shown forbidding, stern, and
stark,
In their uncouth deformities.
| The wierd, uncertain shapes, afar and nigh,
The phantoms that the shadows bore,
Are gone, or in the sunlight please the eye,
And ghostly fancies veX no more
All hail the e'er-recurring light, first born
Ten thousand thousand years agone!
Saw GOD and only He, that glorious morn,
AS He shall see its final dawn. RD.A.
