Greatest of All the Educators.

Erman J. Ridgway, of New York,
editor of Everybody's Magazine, said
in an address at the Chautauqua IN.
" Assembly:
Newspapers are one of the best
influences in America. They do not
cause social unrest. They reflect it,
voice it, spread 1t, and focus the ques.
tion for us, and, giving us all the
facts, help us to decide our future
course. To the immigrant and the
untaught the press must for long
time continue to be blackboard
where the lesson is written large for
the sake of their small ability. To
the educated and thoughtful the press
must continue to be the great reser-
voir that collects the streams of facts
from the rain of events and pours
them down the irrigating bitches to
our thirsty brains.
Editorials, signed essays, special
features, cartoons-all these Jumped
have very small part in making the
influence of newspaper, compared
with prompt, accurate, brilliant hand
ling of news. Ask a man who has
just finished his paper what is in it,
and he will have to stop and think.
But ask him for an opinion about the
big question at issue and ke will sur
prise you with his broad Information
and clear-cut opinions. The Ameri-
can who reads the newspapers knows
what's going on in the world. The
remarkably high average intelligence
of Americans on all conceivable SUBJ
jects is due to the newspaper report
er. Think of him sometimes when
counting your blessings"

Dutch Butter.

A Florida paper calls the attention
of those consumers who are especial
ly fond of the butter imported to
that State directly from Holland, to
the fact that the same country calls
for more than half the oleo made in
the United States and shipped abroad.
This oleo. which has been duly in
spected and stamped before it goes
abroad, may be Justly suspected of
being manipulated on the other side
and converted into the finest brand
of genuine Dutch butter-to come
back here and find consumers at sew
enty-five cents pound instead of the
fifteen cents for which it might have
been had before it started on its jour-
ney. 1t is not to be denied that travel
is very improving, and the experience
of the packing-house oleo is a shin
ing example of how much can be done
by sniff of salt water and associa-
ton with the right kind of people in
the old world.-Country Gentleman.

Sword Making,

The necessity of curtailing expendi
ture on war material since the termin-
alton of the Boer war has naturally
been felt by certain contractors as
well as at Woolwich, and some fac
tories have had to be closed.
A new pattern bayonet, as well as
new cavalry sword, has been adopt
ed for the army. and it is pleasing to
know that the sword cutlery branch
of an ancient industry will be re-
tdined in the country. Previous to
1887 most Of the sidearms required
for the British army were obtained
from Solingen, but since that date the
whole of the steel weapons have been
turned out by British artisans. The
making of swords and bayonets is
confined to very few manufacturers,
and these are looking forward to a
satisfactory period of remunerative
production n.-Westminster Gazette.

The Texas Cotton Crop.

THE law of compensation and
equalization has practical exempli-
fication in Texas this year." said w.
]. Russell, of Hillsboro, Tex For
several years northern Texas has been
enjoying an era of prosperity such as
was never known there.
This season, however, the condi-
tions are reversed In the north the
cotton crop will be relatively very
small, and in some sections the crop
has been entirely ruined by the late
spring and wet weather. In central
Texas there will be only fair yield
but the farmers in the southern part
of the State will make up for their
poor crops of the past by yield the
like of which probably was never
known in that section. 1t will bring
the total cotton crop of the State up
to the average, il it does not exceed
it. This will give the farmers there
a chance to get ahead, and il next
year also sees good yield of the
white staple there will be general
prosperity all over the State.
There Is one town in Texas which
receives more cotton by wagon than
any other place in the world. This is
Waxahachie, in Ellis County. 1t is a
town of about 5000 people, and there
is constant stream of farmers wa
gons going in and coming out of
town. Probably for its size Waxa-
hachie has more wealth than any
place in the country. ."-Washington

MANY OLD LETTERS DELIVERED
Claimants Found For Nearly All of
81 Held by Mexico For 80 Years.

Claimants Found For Nearly All Of
81 Held by Mexico For 30 Years.
The Postoffice Department has
succeeded in finding claimants for
good percentage of thirty-seven
letters recently returned from Mex
leo, where they had been held more
than thirty years. In many cases
either writer or addressee, and in a
few instances both writer and ad-
dressee are dead and the letters were
delivered to surviving relatives.
One letter which contained GER
tificate OF deposit was delivered to a
woman in Baltimore, Md, the grand
daughter of the writer. Tv0 letters
addressed in 1875 to former sea
captain by his wife and mother, both
of whom have since died, were de-
livered to the captain in Connecti-
cut. A woman in Algiers, La, was
another recipient of one of these re-
minders of bygone days.
The letter with the most interest
ing history and which travelled the
longest distance before delivery was
mailed at Lavirk, Norway, November
IS, 1875, addressed TO a sailor at
Minatitlan, Mexico, where he had
gone when boy of eighteen. When
the letter reached Mexico the address
see had moved to South America,
whence he later returned to Norway
without having received the Commu.
nication. A quarter OF century ago
he came to the United States. Dur.
ing all these years the letter had re-
manned in the Mexican postoffice,
and when it was turned in to the
dead letter Office it was sent to the
place of origin in Norway and from
there back to this country and finally
delivered at Stanley, Wis.
Others of these old letters were
delivered to persons in Bath, Castinc,
Bremen, Penobscot I, Damariscotta,
Bangor, Northport and Lincolnville,
Me.

Onions Peeled by lightning.

The greatest freak of the lightning
In the storm of Sunday, July z, in
Hancock County, is reported from
West Brooksville, where onions which
were in a bag were neatly peeled.
Su n accommodating lightning as this
would be more welcome than the
usual variety. "The incident sug-
gests." says the Ellsworth American,
-"the possibilities of that future day
when man has succeeded in tanning
lightning to his own uses. Then we
may expect to find each well APP
pointed home equipped with its own
lightning apparatus, which would not
only furnish light and heat, but
would peel the onions and potatoes,
sweep the floors, make the beds. wash
the dishes, hunt buffalo bugs, kill the
flies; in fact, do all the drudgery Of
housework. including the semi-an-
nual houseclaaning. And the SER
want girl problem would at last be
solved. ."-Kennebec Journal.

Here are three different styles of the
over sleeves that can be utilized either
with the blouse sleeves illustrated or
with those already in the bodice. and
which are absolutely up to date, so
that they can be relied upon to give
fresh touch to any gown that Is to be
remodeled as well as to serve for the
new ones. The blouse sleeve is ap-
propriate for every thin material. and
there are three styles of over sleeves.
In the illustration the circular over
sleeve is made of plain material
trimmed with applique and lace frills
while 1t is worn over embroidered
muslin; the full over sleeve Is made Of
silk with trimming of applique, and
is worn over plain lingerie material,
while the band sleeve is a bit more
elaborate and Is made of silk and ap-.
plique with the full sleeve beneath OF
fancy net. But the possibilities Of
the models are almost limitless. Both
the circular and full over sleeve are
adapted to almost every seasonable
material, and the band sleeve can be
| treated in innumerable ways. 1t can
be made plain or 1t can be trimmed
with banding of any kind or embroid-
cry can be worked onto the material
or lace or embroidered motifs can be
inset. 1t can be made to match the
gown itself or of the trimming mate
rial, and is so constructed that ii can
be used with almost any bodice.
The blouse sleeve is made in one
piece, simply full and gathered into a
straight band or cuff. Both the plain
and the full over sleeves are in one
piece each, but the plain one is With

Pass in desperate disarray

Out of the ken of the watching moon,

As ever smiles wantcn May
