Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. X rat ting car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail- roads would not spend 80 much on their roadbeds. and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press.

S319, 150 FOR
 ARKANSAS TUBERS
Great Harvest of Potatoes Has Been Completed and Farmers Are
 Happy.

i One Of the grAltest potato crops
 that has ever been grown in Arkansas
 or what is known as the Fort Smith district, has just been harvested. says the Fort Smith Times. While it is
 true that struggling car now and then is shipped from this section,
 harvesting of the immense crop is at an end and the state has been flooded
 with thousands of dollars from .ae great markets and Arkansas continues to stand out as the greatest potato raising state in the Union.
 The immense sum of what is esti- mated from actual shipments, of s31o : 15o has been realized by the Arkaa- sas farmer.
 Almost every potato shipped rom the state is handled through Fort Smith and there could be no closer es- innate made than from the comGer. eial agents Of the vairous railroads that enter the city. These gentlemen
 make it a part of their business to as certain just what is raised and ship ped and are we'll supplied with reli- able data on the crop conditions. The agents of the various railroads
 report the following:
 Iron Mountain, 800 cars. Frisco, 300 cars.
 Kansas City Southern, 100 cars.
 Arkansas Central, 15 cars.
 Total number of cars handled, 1,215.
 The average car shipped contained about 400 bushels of potatoes and the total number of bushels shipped was
 4S6,000. It is estimated that at the least 5000 bushels were consumed at
 home. together with those saved for seed, which makes total of 1000 bushels raised in this territory. The territory included in these estimates
 takes in the district on the Iron Noun tain between Fort Smith and Wagoner the Van Buren field and the Green
 wood branch, the district between
 this city and Spiro and on the Arkan-
 sas Central to Paris.
 The average price reeieTed per bushel was about 65 cents. During
 the early season and for two weeks
 after the season opened, the price re- ceived was greatly in excess of this
 and the estimated average price is considered to be low.
 The potatoes shipped from this dis
 trict during the season were in better condition than in years. The weather for gathering the crop was ideal and the potatoes were free from mud The farmers have also learned to
 realize that clean potatoes bring bet ter price than those covered with dirt
 and the 1907 season found the potato men paying more attention to this feature than ever before.

Never Loses His Head.

Many years ago, when William J. Stillman of New York city was re- porting q disturbance in Greece for the London Times, report was sent out that he had been beheaded. One of his friends, hearing the report. tele- graphed to the correspondent this mes- sage: "Rumor here that your head has been taken off Is it true?" It was not until the message had been sent that 1t occurred to the sender that if the rumor were true Stillman would be the last man in the world to speak about it. But the message reached Stillman. and this was his reply: My dear boy. newspaper man never loses his head"

NECKLACE BRINGS ILL LUCK.

fortune TO everyone connected with it.
The history OF the necklace-of pearls
and turquoises. which are not usually
considered to be unluckly stones-is Pc
culiar. While IL was in the Maharanf >
possession she was robbed of a quantity
of valuable iewelry, and the MaharaJah

death and breakdown. Things were be-

spell, and the necklace was accordingly
given to a woman in England. As a re-

story goes that the present owner of
the necklace has been the victim Of per-

TWO BLIND MEN
BUILD A HOME

Two totally blind men have built
house for themselves at Berkeley. CAL
doing all the carpenter work themselves
without any assistance whatever.
1t is a coincidence that both these men
are named Joseph-Joseph Brown and
Joseph Martinez The house is of the
popular bungalow type. one and a half
stories high and constructed entirely OF
wood. 1t is IS feet wide by % feet
long.
As the builders are sighuess, the work
necessarily progressed slowly From
early morning until frequently long
after sunset the two men tOiled pa
tientIy at their task. The shades Of
night did not hinder the work, for noon
day and midnight are equally dark to
them. and out of the blaekness came
the song of the saw and the blows OF
the hammer to passersby, who heard
but saw no worlSmen.
From day to day the work has been
curiously watched by crowds, including
many carpenters. The general work Is
pronounced as good as that performed
by many builders who are blessed with
perfect eyesight.
Brown and Martinez were not blind
from their birth, but were deprived Of
their sight many years ago. They We're
door to door peddlers for many years
and managed in the couse OF time TO
accumulate snug sums of money that
