Does a stream furnish energy for

The first impulse would be TO aniwer

men, some Of whom have worked in
Penobscot River sawmills for nearly
half q century and can remember
when all the mills were run by water
power, make reply in an emphatic
yes.
Not only do the mill operatives de.
clare that water will accomplish a
greater amount Of work at night than
in the daytime, but they cite records
of actual performances, giving names
OF mills and dates where tests have
been made.
In saving deals and other standard
lumber from spruce OF average size,
the exact variation in performance be-
tween night and day depends slightly
upon weather conditions, more being
sawed in dark and drizzly weather
than when 1t is fair, but on an aver
age a modern band saw that will turn

ten hours of darkness.
Not only has this assertion been
proved many times i'm mills that were
run by water power, but II has been
demonstrated through elimination
from the fact that mills using steam
power never present so large a varia-
ton.
The millmen will declare that the
saws make a widely different sound
when dashing through spruce knots
by night than they do by day. so that
II a skilled millman who was blind

distinguish whether IT was night or
day by the songs OF the saws
By daylight nothing but classical
music comes from the most reckless

BERMUDA LILY BULBS.
Need of Law to Prevent Fraudulent I'm.
portation TO America.

The American Consul in the Bermu-
da Islands reports that the sale OF lily
bulbs there has taken of about four
9ifths because of frauds perpetrated by
dealers there. With genuine Bermuda
bulbs would be mixed a lot which
would not flower or we're hybrids. but
the fact could not be discovered by
the buyer in the United States for TWO
or three months Some of the largest
dealers take the utmost pains 10 separ-
ate pure stock from the rest, and ian
increasing degree of confidence is be-
ginning TO prevail. The consul says
that if a pure seed" law, correspond
ing 10 the pure food law Of the United
States, should be enacted the evil
would be promptly checked Those
growers who are honest suffer from
the offences of their unworthy rivals.

ties 70 apply a remedy. More good
would result from energetic action by
the American government. The large
number of bulbs formerly imported
by the people of the United States
furnishes ample excuse for such
course.

When Cold Breathe Deeply.

A simple way TO get warm after
exposure TO cold is to take a long
breath with the mouth firmly shut
Repeat this several times, until you
begin TO feel the heat returning 1t
Teuires very short time to do this.
The long breath quickens the pulse
and thus causes the blood to circulate
faster The blood flows into all parts
OF the veins and arteries and gives
out a great deal of heat. 1t is stated
that this method of deep breathing
prevents colds and a great many
other ailments If begun in time

FATE.
A Badly Written Figure the Cause
of a Mans Death.

Something happened In front OF
my house very recently that set me
10 thinking" said a New York man of
business the other day.
Il rent and occupy a home on
Eighth street. The front yarG is en-
closed by an iron fence with an iron
gate which had been broken and not
yet repaired.
Going home 10 lunch one day I
was surprised 10 find a workman en-
gagged in repairing the gate. As had
not notified the owner | was some
what surprised at his unwonted zeal
in making unsolicited repairs, |
asked the workman who had sent
him to do the work and he replied:
Mr.. Brown, who owns the house
But said ], he doesn't own il.
It is owned by Mr.. Smith, and l rent
IL Of him
oh. no,' said he. Mr.. Brown
owns the house. He owns a lot of
houses and do all his iron work.
Here is the postal he sent me telling
me to so and repair a broken iron
gate at No. --- Eighth street. There
can't be any mistake
Il examined the card carefully.
The number of the house was the
same as mine. and at first glance the
street appeared TO be Eighth street,
but upon closed scrutiny | saw that
it was Fifth street.
Il explained the matter 20 the
workman, but as he had half COM
and finish il and would pay him. He
did so and want away.
I'm the course of his work he had
been obliged to take up some of the
bricks in the walk and when he re-
laid them there was half a brick left
over and not needed. This he tossed
into the street.
THAT evening two boys came rae
Ing down the street on bicycles. They
were moving at rapid rate. Stimuli
taneously the clergyman OF a nearby
church started TO cross the street.
when he was half way across and
in front of my house he saw the boys
bearing down upon him like a whirl-
wind He did what any person OF
good judgment and strong nerve
would do. He stopped and waited
for them to pass.
"As they approached they divided.
one going little TO the right and the
other a little to the left. Just as they
were directly opposite him the bicycle
of one of the boys struck the piece OF
brick the workman had tossed into
the street and the boy was thrown
upon the clergyman with such force
as TO knock the latter down. His
skull was fractured and he was dead
before he could be removed TO his
home.
LAS ! have said the affair set me
10 thinking. Here was a man brought
TO an untimely death because some
other man whom he had never seen
and of whom he had never heard in
writing the figure - made IL look
like the figure 81 And | wondered
if there might not be somewhere in
the world some unknown one who
held my fate in his hands and who
even then with a stroke of his pen
might not be signing my death war

Owes Recovery TO Cuticura.

MY son Clyde was almost completely
covered with eczema. Physicians treated
him for nearly year without helping him
any His head, face, and neck were COW
cred with large scabs which he would rub
until they fell off. Then blood and matter
would run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming TO see him said that if he
got well he wosd be disfgured for life.
When it seemed as ii he could possibly
stand it no longer, | used some Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura

nearly year that he slept. In the morn
ing there was great change TO-. the better.

NEVADA BANKER |s ARRESTED FOR
 FRAUD

NEW YORK, December 4.-Eforts on the part of federal counsel to obtain information regarding loans aggregating $22 100000 to P F. Trainor by the Southern Pipe Line company, a stand ard subsidiary, came to nothing today in the cross examination of John D. Archbold in the government suit to dis solve the so-called trust. For over a year, Frank B. Kellogg, government in- qusitor, has pursued every trail to find out the purpose of these large loans, but tonight he appeared to be no nearer solution of the mystery.
 MT. Arehbold said that he knew of no reason for the loans which, he said, might have represented adjustments be tween the refining companies which Mir. Trainor supplied with oil.
 MT. Trainor, who is connected with the Standard's s pipe line system, hal previously testified that he did not know of the loans and never received the money.
 Much of Archbold s cross examina. tion today had to do with the rebates paid by the railroads in the early days He took the position that rebates at that time were matter of bargaining in which each shipper strove to obtaif the best terms.
