Railroads Far Behind.
In discussing the outlook from the
railroad standpoint, T.. ID. McKenna.
vice president of the Milwaukee road,
said that it would take the railroads
five years of prosperity at least to
catch up with their former physical
condition. lie said the railroads have
not been able to keep up to standard
and as u result 1t will take q vast
expenditure of money and o long per-
iod of time for them to regain lost
ground. IF the prosperity which most
of us think will follow the election
really materializcs so that the rev
enues OF the railroads improve, there
will be no complaint about the amount
of money they will spend. AS soon
as the railroads see their way open
to pay the bills there will be one of
the greatest periods of activity in
railroad history"
Daniel Willard. second vice presi-
dent Of the Burlington, said:
I'VE are far behind in our work.
That is to say, the railroads have done
nothing for almost two years which
they did not feel was necessary to do
in order to continue in business. The
work would have been stopped earlier
had 1t not been for the fact that some
had gone too far to
abandon If the railroads are not in
position to spend large sums Of money
shortly we shall be greatly disap-
pointed"

INTEREST Continues
Speakers at Friends institute
Unfolding Bible Mys-
teries.
KENWORTHY SPOKE TODAY

This morning there was a very in
teresting session of the Friends Bible
Institute at Earlham college. Murray
S. Kenworthy delivered a lecture on
"Ecclesiastes." He stated that this is
a most enigmatical book In structure
rough and disjoined and the thought
frequently broken, with the parts con-
Trajectory. He said that many expla-
nations of this curious structure had
been made. This book. the speaker
stated, was not quoted in the New
Testament because it was probably
unknown to its writer's. Mr.. Kenwor-
thy was of the opinion that 'Eccles-
tastes" was written by woman-hat-
err because it always referred to wo-
men in a most sarcastic manner. The
permanent value of this book, he said,
is not so apparent as the majority of
the books in the Bible.
DR.. Leary lectured on THE Reflec-
ton of Palestine in the Bible" He
stated that this land had given to the
world It's strongest race and that more
than any other land 1t was reflected
in the Bible. Like Greece and Scot
land, DR.. Leary stated, Palestine is a
land devided against itself. The peo-
pie have never been unified and are
alien and unsympathetic to each other.
Prof. Russell gave a very interesting
lecture on The Message of the Synop-
tic Gospels"

OLIVE OIL.
The Method by which IL II Made on
Tuscan Farms.

The olives, stones and all, are first
crushed in a stone mill run by OK pow
er. The mass OF pulp is then trans
ferred in fat wicker baskets to the
''torchio," or oaken press, from which
the oil oozes into a vat below. The
presses at Dievole are very old, elabo-
rately carved with the arms and de-
vices Of some early padrone. Tremen-
dous pressure is applied through a
primitive capstan arrangement which
the men work by heavy wooden levers,
walking round and round on the stone
floor in a track much worn by the
tread of laboring generations. There
are commonly two or three squeezings
of the pulp, the product of the first be-
ing of the finest quality. But the proc
ess, once begun, must be carried for
ward continuously lest the oil should
spoil in the making. 1t is finally drawn
off into huge earthen jars of immemo-
rial pattern, like those In which the
Forty Thieves Of the Arabian tale con-
cealed themselves for nefarious pur-
poses. And 1T stands thus for a week
in the adjoining clearing room, called
the "chiaratoio," after which 1t Is ready
for the market.-From Life on a Tus-
can Farm" by T. r. Sullivan, In Scrib-

CANARY BIRDS.
The Finest of Them Are Raised In
the Harz Mountains.

the Harz Mountains.
The chief breeding ground for cana
ries was formerly the Harz noun
tains, but Of late years only the finest
singers are reared in that district. The
trade was transferred to Eichsfelde,
in the province Of Hanover, where poor
weavers breed the cheaper sort. The
most important market for these gold
en- birds Is the United States, which
takes quite 100000 birds a year. Great
Britain comes next, with some $4,000.
and is followed by Brazil. Chile and
the Argentine Republic.
The principal dealers have large fac
tories which can turn out material for
1000 bird cages daily. The peasants
take this away to their homes and
there make up the cages. Attendants,
who each have charge Of 1000 birds in
separate cages, take canaries across
the Atlantic and on their return voy-
age bring back Mexican and Cuban
parrots for the European markets.
About 100000 canaries are bred ev-
cry year in Germany, and their value,
some $4,000. goes chiefly into the
pockets Of the peasants.-London Tele.

story of One Case Where 1t Was Due
and Was Not Given.
1t is a brave man who can apologize.
1t Is one of the highest attributes Of a
gentleman. l never yet knew anybody
who lost money by an apology. l know
many men who made some. l know a
man in the city of London who spoke
harshly to his confidential clerk. He
accused him of having mislaid or lost a
certain long and important letter. The
clerk said very politely he had never
seen such a document. The merchant
said, Don't be fool in talking such
nonsense" The clerk gave in his res
ignation. 1t was the duty of this clerk
to call at his employers house in the
evening after dinner to take to the Of
fee next morning such letters as would
require attention. There he found the
missing letter. The merchant had plac-
ed it, with a few others, in his over
coat pocket to read carefully at home
in the evening. He said: 81 did not
know I had done that. You must with
