The jamestown Exposition

The indications are that the James.
town exposition will be a great success
Referring to this great enterprise, a
writer to the New York World says
1.-THE period from the discovery of
America to the foundation of the first
English settlement in the new world
was almost as long as the lifetime of the
republic. 1t is 49, years since the de-
claration of independence was signed,
11S years since the beginning of consti-
tutional government. So slowly began
the movement that has grown SO swift
that lis years passed after Columbus
sighted Watling's Island before the
jamestown settlement, in 1907, whose
tercentenary celebration has begun
With the s.. Louis exposition the United
States has passed the series of centen-
malls advertising the bigness of achieve
ments A notable series it has been:
the Declaration, the Constitution, the
Northwest Ordinance, the Lewis and
Clark expedition in advance Of the
prairie schooner and the railway, the
Louisiana Purchase. jamestown be-
longs with the Chicago Columbian cele-
bration and with such two hundred and
%fittietl anniVers ,aies as old towns in the
east, IN FJori id and iii tie Spanish
SOU Invest from time to time hold. 1t
takes us back to rude beginnings. The
place is appropriate. Charleston, St.
Angus inc, Boston, Philadelphia, New
York and jamestown are centers of
antiquarian tradition in regions where
patriotic pllgrimages have many sources
of inspiration. The past makes put a
faint cry in a busting big city, but on
the plain where jamestown was andhas
vanished the exposition is some miles
away-modernity is less insistent. The
S ately homes OF tidewater Virginia
make it easy to imagine the days when
the ship straight from London landed
at the planters dock the miscellaneous
cargo his tobacco had bought for the
years provisioning. And first of all
those noble homes, but a little way from
the exposition, is one which every
American citizen should visit in his
20 nth, the most solemn shrine on earth
of generous patriotism, the home of
Washington at Mount Vernon. From
the colonial period, the revolutionary
war, the British invasion of 1914 and
the sharpest struggle of the civil wal
at the mouth of the Chesapeake is full
of memories. 1t will do no hustling
American harm to cultivate them for a
few days."

THE OCEAN LINER.
Safety Devices That Are Operated
From the Bridge.

Safety Devices That Are Operated
From the Bridge.
1t is in its safety devices and the
provision made to meet every possible
accident that the ocean liner is perhaps
most remarkable. All the machinery
which may be set in motion In case of
danger is centered on the bridge, and
so perfectly has it been arranged that
the entire vessel could be controlled
If the necessity should arise by means
Of a series of levers and push buttons.
About the walls of the wheelhouse are
arranged curious looking indicators,
much the same as one sees behind b
desk Of a great hotel. About them are
hung a surprising variety Of barome-
tiers, thermometers, thermostats, wind
and rain gauges and other less familiar
looking instruments. There are rows
upon rows of buttons and levers on
every hand, all highly polished and in
the most perfect working order. The
danger Of fire at sea, for instance, is
anticipated by a thermostat connected
with the frame filled with little squares
like the hotel Indicator. There are
thermometers in every part Of the ship
electrically connected with this box
which are constantly on guard. If a
fire should start in any part of the
great ship the temperature would of
course rise, and the fact would instant
ly be announced in the wheelhouse by
the ringing of a bell, while a red light
would flash at the same time in one of
the squares of the indicator. The mar
at the wheel could tell at a glance the
exact point of danger.-Francis Arnold
Collins in st. Nicholas.

POTATOES IN FRANCE.

~Parmentier's willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.
The way in which Parmentier re
ated a demand for potatoes in France
would have lone credit to the widest
Of willy tradesmen. Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
It's virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost for planting.
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better of their prejudice by artifce
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed 1t with potatoes. Just before the
ripening of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished, the crop
being intended for the tables Of the
king and mobiles.
Such delicacies, continued the notice,
were too good for ignorant peasants,
who would touch them at their peril.
Of course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants.
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that it should be
reserved for their betters.
AS soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the pilferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase, the willy Par,
mentier's scheme thus succeeding be.

The Peoples Lobby.
Held A Notable Dinner In Newark

The Peoples Lobby, a yoIuutarY Or
ganization with headquaItersin Newark
was in evidence at the last session Of the
legislature, with a good purpose to
have advanced principles enacted into
laws in a non-partisan way.
The Lobby held a noticeable 81 dinner
in Newark, on May 1st, at which Sen
ator Colby, of Essex; Mayor Pagan and
George L. Record, of Jersey City, Re-
publicans, spoke. James E. MARITIME,
the famous farmer orator, of Plainfeld,
spoke of as a probable candidate for
Governor by the Democrats also spoke.
But the lion of the occasion was VIM.
J. Bryan, who spoke on the Initiative
and Referendum to a big audience
which waited four hours, until 12.45 i'll
the morning for his arrival. 1t was a
non. partisan meeting, but the demo
cratic principles he explained were edu-
cational and for the interest Of the
people.
The Peoples Lobby was organized
by a few men, but it has spread rapidly
thru the state and promises to be a
great educational force for better gov
eminent. The foremost advocate of the
Peoples Lobby is MI. Bryan.
Tie meeting was presided over by
Alex Il. Fordyce, former Republican
Assemblyman from MiddleseX County.

After Powder Trust.

Attorney General Bonaparte has de-
cided upon the prosecution, under the
Sherman act, of two important COM
bines, the harvester trust and the pow
der trust. These two represent almost
as much money as the Standard Oil
Company, and their ramificatiOns are
extensive.
The harvester trust is the Interna-
tional Harvester Company with head
quarters at Chicago. 1t is said to have
a firm grip on most Of the agriculture
machinery business of the country, and
it is accused of controlling prices and
driving out independents by tyrannical
methods.
The powder trust is headed by the du
Pont Powder Company of Wilmington,
Del. 1t supplies the governmentand is
said to charge exhorbitant prices. 1t
has repeatedly been attacked in Congress
Mr.. Bonaparte's friends are pointing
to these prosecutions to refute the
charge that the Department of Justice
is inactive.

A Presidents Pine.

General Jackson was a poor eater,
and well for him that he was, or he
would have often gone hungry on the
days when large crowds came to the
White House for a free lunch. It is
related on one occasion the poor man
was moved to thank the Almighty that
after the crowd had gone there was a
raw piece Of steak in the ice chest off
which he could make a dinner. There
seems to be absolutely no foundation
for the stories of Jackson being a hard
drinker, for his physical condition for
babe all excuses. He liked his toddy
in company with his corncob pipe, but
he was no lover Of all kinds of intox-
icants.-Home Magazine.

The Chinese IiIy.

To raise the Chinese sacred lily in
water remove the brown dried skin
and all the hard callous at the base of
the bulbs. Do not separate the bulbs,
but take a sharp knife and score the
main bulb as though to quarter it, but
do not cut more than a quarter Of
an inch deep. Cut the offshoot also.
This wastes the bulb, but develops the
foliage growth. Arrange the bulbs in
a glass bowl, steadying them with
pebbles, bits of marble and shells; also
put In broken charcoal to keep the wa
ter sweet. The water may be changed
once or twice before they bloom. Place
in a dark cupboard or closet for ten
days until the roots are well started.

They declare that most Of their PEG
pie are opposed 70 government
ownership Of railroads and have
not yet been educated to believe in

ing adds strength to the movement

The revolutionary program Of
President Roosevelt in his Indi-
annapolis speech that under the Con-
stitutional power granted to estab
lish post roads Congress can regu-
late commerce and common carriers
within . State. is creating great dis
cussion. Nearly every constitu-
tional lawyer who has studied the
question declares that the States
would thus be stripped Of authority
over the railroads within the State
and also over their own roads, their
own streets and street cars. This
Presidential program suits the rail-
roads. for all the two cent passenger
rate laws and other States legisla-
ton for the control of the common
carriers within the State would be
unconstitutional and congressional
Legislation would be the only means
Of regulating the railroads. II this
Interpretation OF the Constitution be
correct, there would be but little
left for the State Governments to do
that could benefit the people. If a
Republican Congress in obedience
TO President Roosevelt attempts this
revolutionary Legislation, we may
be buoyed with hope that Supreme
Court will declare the rights OF the
states impregnable.

Every one knows il is no good
worrying about the weather. al
though it has such a vast influence

Northern Virginia and the men har-
vested wheat in overcoats. There
were frosts every month severe
enough to kill all tender vegetation
and open fires were necessary for
comfort on many days in June. In
New York and the New England
states almost all vegetation was kill.

consequence. Those who are grum.
