The Earliest Anchors.

The earliest anchors of which we nave any record were of wood, and gradually, through the iron anchor of one hook and the anchor in the shape or rake, there was evolved the an chor with the straight thick shank, the two curving arms with f1attened extemities and the long cross stock. The process of storing one of these old anchors was a long and laborious one It wns hove close up to the capstan or W1ndlass; d man was let down by rope 10 hook on a huge tackle, by which the anchor was then hOisted. still perpendicular, to stout project Ing timber.

Workino In Steel Masks.

The workman wore steel mask with glazed eyeholes, rubber suit, rubber gloves and rubber boots and he carried pair of tongs of silvery alu. minium.
 "1n certain departments of the plant" said the dynamite manufac- turer, "all our workmen are dressed like that. They must be. Otherwise they would be smeared with chemicals and splashed with acids that would eat their flesh like liquid f1re."
 "But the aluminium tongs?"
 They are for lifting the gun cotton out of its nitric acid bath. Aluminium Is the only metal upon which the nitric acid has no effect"
 He turned to the workman.
 Everything all right. Georger' he said.
 "So, so" came a sepulchral answer from behind the mask of steel.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

At His Word.

Many postoffice names are queer enough to make one desire an explana- tion of them. Sometimes the eXplana- ton is queerer than the name itself. A minister in Class county wrote to Washington in behalf of the residents of growing hamlet, asking that a postoffice be added to its institutions. The request was favorably received, and he was asked to suggest name that would be acceptable to his neigh bors. He replied that they were not hard to please so long as the name was peculiar. The postoflce department took him at his word, and Peculiar 1s the name of the office to this day Kansas City Star.

On the following Sunday he used the term hyperbole and added: AS agreed on, J beg to explain this word Were I to say that at this moment the whole of my congregation are sound asleep it would be hyperbole, but if l say that one-half are asleep that is no hyper bole, but the truth The next day the deputation again called to say that the minister need not explain technical terms.

MICHIGAN STATE FAIR

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 29.-An expo sition of the agricultural, manufactur- ing and commercial resources of Mich igan such as has never before been seen marks the opening of the fifty eighth annual Michigan state fair to- day. Several new buildings have been erected since last year and the show is in all respects the greatest in the history of the society. The racing meet will open Saturday on the mile track and will continue to September 6. The purses hung up aggregate $1O,000.
 The state fair had it's beginning in 1S49, when all Michigan except a few southern counties was a wolf-haunted
 wilderness. The first premium list amounted to less than $1 ,0O0. It was held in various cities, including De- troit, Lansing, Jackson and Ann Ar bor, until 1905, when the Michigan State Agricultural Society decided to locate the fair permanently in Detroit.

The ordinary waste of food in an English middle class family would be sufficient wholly to maintain a French family of similar station, and the waste of food is at least largely due to the ignorance of cookery which pre- yalls among the classes from which English domestic servants are derived London Lancet

toward conservation.
1t is declared that in mining nearly
one-half the total coal supply is left

CANADA IS OPPOSED TO
THEM MORE THANH. s.
FELIX KLINE OF FRANCE MADE
A THOROUGH INvEsTI.
CATION.

Chicago, Oct. 8.-Abbe Felix Kline
a prominent member of the clerical
element in France, who is making g
study of American social and eco
nomic conditions, has returned from
an extensive tour Of the west, Able
Kline said:
II was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia, which is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side Of the border. Al
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of the active agitation
against the Japanese.
ION the other hand, visited Van
couver shortly after the anti-Japanese
riots, meeting the Japanese quarters
Everywhere there was evidence of hos.
tile intention. The people have taken
up the shibboleth of Canada for the
Canadians and they feel that the
exclusion of the yellow race is essen.
tial for their self-preservation. They
are very determined in this feeling,
and are pressing their view on the
civil authorities at Ottawa and Lon
don.
Dissipates Fear Of War.
Before coming to America ( shared
the views of considerable element in
France and throughout Europe that
the Japanese question might lead the
United States into war. But personal
observation throughout the middle
west and far west has completely
changed my views. The people of the
west are not thinking of such a thing
and scout the very idea of war. Even
in San Francisco, which is supposed
in Europe to be the center of anti.
Japanese hostility, there was much
less telling than 1 found to exist in
the British colonies to the north. It is
quite evident, also, in witnessing the
splendid development of the Pacific
coast, that a war would be little short
OF criminal, alike disastrous to japan
and the United States, neither of whom
has anything to gain >by such a re-
course to barbarism.
More Acute In Canada.
This branch of the Japanese ques-
ton is really Of much Importance to
the United States, as Japan can hardly
expect more from the United States
than she expects of Canada, where
the situation to the Japanese is far
more acute"
Speaking of the people in the west,
Able Kline says that he was struck
by the fact that they look upon the
east as a sort of foreign country, much
as the people of the Atlantic states
ook upon Europe. They are making
great strides forward, principally the
region about Puget sound, which, in
Hay, loose-Timothy, up to $25;
