MR.. BRYAN CLASSIFIED.

Great business enterprises are accus-
ed frequently of being heartless and
devoid of the milk of human kindness
and of this Mr.. Bryan must be con-
WINGED when he reads that the Lloyds
are insuring the timid and the ner-
vous against his election. {
Many unkind things have been done
to the eminent statesman of Fairview,
but nothing so unkind as this before.
1t puts him in the calamitous class
with fires. earthquakes, cyclones,
storms at sea, and disasters on land,
A concern which has insured gentle
men against twins, against mothers
in-law, against toothache, against the
Fourth of July, and other misfortunes
alleged or real goes about the Bryan
business without emotion, malice, or
prejudice. 1t will write a policy. for
any timid soul insur1ng him against
Mr.. Bryan just as it would insure his
property from loss at sea.
1t is reported thaNthe Hon. Pat Nc
Carren, the Hon. James M. Guffey, and
the Hon. ]. P. Hopkins will take out
policies.-Chicago Chronicle.

EGGS AND MILK IN TABLET FORM

All of us like to get our milk and
eggs in their original form, but it is
interesting to hear that if circum-
stances should compel us to carry
them in powder form it would be pos
sible to do so, says the Philadelphia
Press.
A process has been discovered by
which the moisture can be removed
from the egg and from milk, allowing
their reduction to a form of flour
which can be carried in small tins.
This makes it possible to store them
for great distances without the like
lihood of deterioration.
Furthermore, it is possible to com
press the powders into tablets and
this again increases the value of the
desiccated products to travellers and
campers and to the commissary de-
partments of armies and navies. In
the powder or tablet form an indivi-
dual can carry milk and eggs to last
for a great number of days, for by
the removal of the moisture nine
tenths of the weight is lost.
Who can say also, that the mols-
tureless egg and milk powders will
not eventually be taken up by the
public generally? Perhaps then the
early morning calls of the milkman
will become a thing unheard of and
the grocers boy will never come
limping in with a dozen of smashed
hen fruit.
Desciccated milk and eggs are es-
pecially adapted to domestic use in
cookery and baking, and in the manu-
facture of certain food products. The
milk or egg powder is soluble, and
when required for use is reconstitut-
ed by the addition of water. Thus

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Turn flattery wrong side out and
you have SANDER.
Pay as you go, but try to save
enough to get back on.
Somehow, the majority of our good
habits never get found out.
Boosting of their strong points is a
weakness with some people.
Ever notice how narrow-minded
most people are who argue with you?
It's easier for a woman to talk on
any subject than-it is for her to stop.
A confidence man naturally has no
confidence in any man but himself.

When We come where l have slept
Ye will wonder why we wept;
Ye will know, by wise love taught,
That here is all and there is naught.

Sunshine still must follow rain;

Which our souls draw when we enter
Life, which is of all life centre.

liquified they possess all the same
properties and food qualities as when
fresh.
The taste, however, as they are
now produced is fiat and insipid, so
that they are not likely to prove
popular for table use instead of the
original form, though very satisfac-
tory scrambled egg can be made with
the desiccated product.
In cookery, candy manufacture and
the like, the taste is of no particular
consequence, and the -four of milk
and desiccated egg not only is salts
factory, but is so much more conve-
nient that, as in the case of the manu-
facture of milk chocolate, for exam
pie, where superfuity of moisture
prevents the mass from hardening
properly, it answers the purpose much
better than the fresh product.
Furthermore, except during the
warm summer months, when hens
lay well and cows yield milk freely,
the cost is less than that of the
fresh product For during the sea-
son of plenty, when the market price
is very low, the desiccating plant
turns eggs bought at to 10 cents
per dozen into egg powder that will
compete in six months with eggs
selling eat retail for 40 cents or more
a dozen.
The summer and winter price of
milk does not vary as much as that
of eggs, but inasmuch as the milk
flour is produced in such prices as
afford a good supply of fresh milk
at low price, it can be sold in COM
petition with the liquid milk through
out the year at a price considerably
lower than the latter, and still yield
a good profit to the manufacture.

AFTER DEATH IN ARABIA"

Since there have been given two
views of life here, and the end here, let
the higher voice of the poet, the ideal
list, be heard. This poem of Edwin
Arnold, drawn from Arabian sources
which abound in springs of spiritual
thoughts well known, but it is often
asked for and as a corrective sequence
to Lucretius and Omar, this joyous as
sumption of a continuing spiritual life,
may well be read again:
He who died at Azan sends
This to comfort all his friends:
Faithful friends! 1t lies, know,
Pale and white and cold as snow;
And we say, "Abdallah's dead!"
Weeping at the feet and head,
can see your falling tears,
l can hear your signs and prayers;
Yet smile, and whisper this
81 am not the thing you kiss;
Cease your tears and let it lie;
1t was mine; it is not l."
Sweet friends! What the women lave
For its last bed of the grave
Is a tent which l am quitting,
Is garment no more fitting,
Is cage from which, at last,
Like a hawk my soul has passed.
Love the inmate, not the room
The wearer, not the garb-the plume
Of the falcon, not the bars
Which kept him from these splendid
stars.
Loving friends! Be wise, and dry
Straightway every weeping eye!
What we lift upon the bier
Is not worth wistful tear.
'Tis an empty sea shell-one
Out of which the pearl has gone;
The shell is broken, it lies there,
The pearl, the all, the soul, is here.
IT'S an earthen jar whose lid
Allah sealed, the while he hid
That treasure of his treasury.
n nllhu llliJ lON6u ulLl5 l6J IL lie!
Let the shard be earth's once more,
Since the gold shines in his store!
Allah glorious! Allah good!
Now thy world is understood;
I Now the long, long wonder ends;
Yet ye weep, my erring friends,
While the man whom we call dead
In unspoken bliss, instead,
Lives and loves you; lost, it's true,
By such light as shines for you.
But in light we cannot see
OF untitled felicity
In enlarging paradise
Lives a life that never dies.
Farewell, friends; yet not farewell
Where am, we too, shall dwell.

The wonderful volcano that came
into existence on the island of Savaii,
in the Samoan group, three years ago
next month has burst again into ire
mendous activity, surprising all its
earlier performances. Reports received
late in June say that the incessant
flow of lava is one of the greatest on
record and amounts to between 1000
and 5000 tons minute.
Spreading out in an almost continu-
Gus sheet about eight miles wide and
with a depth of six inches to six feet,
it is flowing to the sea, dropping over
the cliffs into the water with many
Incidental explosions and great clouds
of steam. Attacking parts of the
northeast coast not reached by the
earlier eruptions, it is destroying many
houses and another exodus of the ma
tives to the southern part of the island
has occurred.
All the Samoan islands together are
about as large as the State of Rhode
Island, Savaii, the most western, ex
cept for a little rock or two, is the
largest of them, having more than
half the total area. All the islands are
volcanic, but for many generations the
natives had seen no active volcanic
phenomena. Only few years ago Re-
clus said the volcanoes of SaVaii were
probably the latest\ ito become extinct.
Though the largest of the islands,
Savaii is far less important than Upo-
LII, where Apia is a port of call for Pa
cific steamers. On Upolu the larger
part of the population and industries
is conferred. Most of Savaii, however,
is still covered with dense forest, and
there are very few settlements ex-
cpting along parts of the coast.
1t is supposed to have been about
$50 years ago that the last signs Of
volcanic activity were seen in Savaii
The natives of today believed them
selves perfectly secure and many of
them had never heard of such a thing
as volcanic action, though line of
lava cones extends from end to end
OF their island. But in 1902 an old
crater about ten miles west of the
present scene of activity SUDDENLY
burst into violence. The rising lava
had forced out the plug that closed the
crater vent and there was an exuda-
ton of molten rock. 1t was not a
very large eruption, for the stream
was less than half a mile wide and
two miles long. Then all was quiet
again. Only sulphurous vapors were
emitted from the crater and the ex-
citement among the natives subsidized
till it was rekindled by a remarkable
occurrence in a wholly unexpected
quarter.
About eight miles inland from the
northeast coast was a deep wooded
valley to which the natives often re-
sorted for hunting. There was no
eruption cone in this valley, and it was
one of the solitudes of the island.
Suddenly on the night of August 4,
1905, the natives in the coast settle
ments felt a severe earthquake shock
which was recorded on the seismo-
graph at Apia, far away, and a great
light pierced the sky above the valley.
Three craters had suddenly been
opened in the valley, and red hot
stones, lava and ash were shooting
