The customs Of military service require
officers to visit the kitchens during cook
ing hours to see that the soldiers food is
properly prepared. One old colonel. who
let it be pretty generally known that his
orders must be obeyed without question
or explanation, once stopped two soldiers
who were carrying a soup kettle out OF a
kitchen.
Here. you." he growled. give me a
taste of that"
One of the soldiers ran and fetched a
ladle and gave the colonel the desired
taste. The colonel spat and spluttered.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Where is the big
boom in stocks that was going to take
place in celebration of the nomination of
Mr.. Taft Gone where the woodbine
twlneth. apparently. or some other re-
mote spot. So far during this conven-
ton week the average price Of the prin-
cipal stocks has moved up less than a
point. and this forenoon even that gain
was being wiped out. If this is all the
predicted celebration amounts to, poll
ticians who were afraid a Wall street
stock market demonstration would fnjure
Mr.. Taft's candidacy need have nothing
to fear. The small opening advance in
the market today doubtless represented
what there was of Wall streets compli-
mentary congratulations. but it was not
sustained. AS matter of fact Wall
street began to forget political news as a
question for immediate consideration and
turned its attention to matters Of strictly
financial Importance, namely, the various
unfavorable dividend readjustmentS and
the possibilities of others to come.
Although hardly unexpected. the passing
of the Republic Iron and Steel dividend
and the reduction of the Louisville and
Nashville did not make for any optimism
as signs of the times. No more do the
prospects for the maintenance of the Bal
timore and Ohio ssmi-annual common
The Baltimore and Ohio directors are
scheduled to meet for action in the matter
about July Q. The poor record of earnings
which the road has made for the last few
months has given rise to fears that the
dividend. now at 6 per cent, will be re-
duced. The stock was one of the weak
features of the market today.

With the figures for ten months at hand,
and information as to the present volume
of traffic. an estimate of the earnings of
the Wisconsin Central for the entire cur

$4,000 on the company's 1000 pre-
ferred stock. equal to 81 per cent This

report showed an increase Of $4,000 in
gross earnings. April reported a decrease
of $4,000 The road has suffered ever
since the panic through a practical sus-
pension of iron ore and lumber traffic
Earnings from transportation of the first
named commodity during April were only
one-ninth of what they were during April
Of last year. The indications are that
May and June will show no Improvement
in this respect.

Women In EnuIand.

In the seventeenth century, when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Englishmen,
there was written an interesting entry
in the church warden's accounts of st.
Martin -in-theFields, proving that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be
found in the records of the Fleet pris-
on, of which the first female warden,
appointed in 1917 ON the death of her
husband Robert, received the same sal
airy ''as the said Robert had been ac-
customed to during his life" There
was no talk then of combining the wo-
mans sphere to work that was paid

HEARS FUNERAL BY PHONE.
Invalid Wife Listens to EuIogy Pro-
nounced Over Hus-
bands Body.

PITTSBURG, Oct. -Bedridden
for years with paralysis, Mrs. James
Mitchell Rinard, wife of one Of An
drew Carnegie's junior partners, and
worth millions, heard by telephone
the funeral eulogy over the remains
OF her husband. Rinard. known to
steel manufacturers as probably the
most expert steel blower In the coun-
try, had been killed by flying bar of
steel In the yards of the Edgar
Thomson works at Bradd6ck.
His wife, to whom he had paid un-
ceasing devotion since she became
an invalid, fifteen years ago, is now
believed to be dying as a result of
the crushing news of her husbands
death. Three years ago Mrs. Rinard
lost the power of speech. For a year
she has been almost sightless. Only
through her eyelids has a method Of
communication with her been main
tanned by the members Of her family.
They would say over the letters of
the alphabet and she would signify
the letter to be used by closing her
eyelids.
Unlike other men who have made
millions in steel, Rinard spent every
spare moment beside his wife. And
so when chr grieving children told
the mother of the death of their
father, they feared they had given
her a death-blow. But Mrs. 'Rinard,
silent, inert, spelled at is Gods wilr
with her eyelids, and then lay for
hours with closed eyes.
Today, with sight almost gone,
the wife gazed from a lifted couch
upon her husbands face for the last
time. Then the body was borne
away to the church, mile distant.
Mrs. Rinard was placed in COM
munication with the church through
a device supplied by the telephone
company, and heard the eulogy pro-
nounced by the Rev. Joseph F. Clok-

Archimedes.

AS a mechanician Archimedes pro-
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter-
esting devices, including the endless
screw, the pump. the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he is said to have set
fire to the ships of an enemy's feet
from a considerable distance. The sto-
~ is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the faith
of the people in the man and as indi-
eating the character of his pursuits.
AS engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than a magician.
He produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derricks
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out Of water or to
upset it, destroying all on board. His
proposed use of the lever meant the
production of the inconceivable inven-
lions in machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate Of
its Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, Give me wherein
to stand and 1 will lift the earth"
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest Of
early engineers. His lever still moves
the world. and his spirit is inherited
by generations of the men who have
made modern civilization possible

REV. CYRUS T. BRADY
QUITS TOLEDO PULPIT.
Preacher-PIayWright Has Accepted
Call TO Kansas City.

TOLEDO O., Oct. 29.-The Rev.
Cyrus Townsend Brady, author,
Episcopal Church here, has rendered
his resignation because Trinity
Church was not under the canon
laws Of the diocese and general con-
vention.
The pastor announced he would
accept the call of st. George Epis-
copal Church, Kansas City. The
resignation was caused by the par
ish being especially incorporated
under the State law. Mr.. Brady
said the position of rector in such
case is so radically different from
The position of rector under the
canon law, that he cannot continue
longer In it. The local limitations,
le declared were unknown to him
IT the time he accepted it.
