KOREA'S DOORS
NOT CLOSED
American Consul Talks on the
Trade Conditions.

Toxic, June 29.-That there is NO
closed door in Korea, is the positive
assertion made not only by officials
but by American business men doing
a large business in Korea, and this
view is borne out by statement made
at Chemulpo by Thomas Summons,
American consul general. who says:
Those who seek the open door in
Korea, will find it. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that Japan, by reason of her
geographical position. has an advan.
tage over other nations. Japanese en-.
ergy and enterprise have so far ex.
ceeded the degree of these qualities
displayed by foreign traders in the far
East that the oriental has beaten the
occidental at his own game.
Business methods different from
those of the old times are now neces-
sary to meet the active competition
of the Japanese, but where modern
and up-to-date Western ways of doing
business are applied, the American
trader comes out ahead. Exactly the
same conditions apply to the situation
in Manchuria."

Government Expends Approx

Over Last Year.
PANAMA CANAL is COSTLY.
$50 100000 EXPENDED FOR I'M
PRovEMENTS POSTAL DE
PARTMENT ALSO HAS LARGE
DEFICIT.

Washington. June 29.-Tha forth
coming statement of treasury receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June so. will show a marked
falling off in receipts as compared
with 1907, and large increase in ex-
penditures. The excess of exepndi-
lures over receipts for the year will
approximate S6o,OOO.OOO, which has
been exceeded only twice since the
civil war. In 1894 there was a def
cit of $50, 100000, and in 1899 there
was another of a little more than $50
100000, and in each of the four inter-
vening years the receipts fell consid-
erably below the disbursements.
Again in 1904 and 1905 there were
shortages of 41.7TO,OOO and S23 ,OOO,-
600 respectively.
The total receipts this year will be
shown to have been about S599, 600
600, or $64, 600, COCO less than for 1907.
Custom receipts will be shown to have
fallen off about $46,OO0,OO0O from
those of 1907, while the receipts from
internal revenue sources will be short
nearly S19,OOOOOO. Miscellaneous re-
ceipts will show a slight gain.
The disbursements will be shown to
have aggregated about $659,OOO.OOO, or
100000 more than for 1907, and
$50 100000 more than for any other
year since 1866, not excepting the
| Spanish war period Although these
| increased disbursements are very gen.
eral and are shown in nearly every ac-
count except that of interest on the
public debt, some of the heaviest of
| them were for important permanent
| improvements.
Cost of Isthmian Canal.
The Panama Canal during the clos
ing year, will have cost the govern.
ment\ S3S 100000, as against S27, 600.
| 600 in 1907, and the work this year in
connection with the reclamation of the
public lands will be SHOWN to have
cost about S13.O00,O0O, which is not fan
from last years figures.
The deficiency in the postal reve.
nues for the present year will proba
bly, reach $13, 100000, as against ST.
100000 for 1907. making a difference
of $6OOO.OOO. This is the largest pos
tai deficiency in the history of the
government, except in 1905, when il
reached nearly $15,OOO,OOo. The rec
ords show there has been n postal def
| cheney every year since the establish
ment of the service with the exception
of twelve, when small surpluses were
shown. The expense of the rural free
mail delivery this year is not expected
to fall below $25.OO0,OOO.
| The decrease in the amount of re
ceipts of S64,OOO,OOO and the increased
expenditures of $SO,OO0.OOO make
the difference against the treasury fol
the fiscal year of $144,OOO,OOO.

GREAT FAIR PLANNED
HagerstoWn Men Expect to
Make This Years Even
Winner.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE

Hagerstown, Ind, June 29.-Ha-
gerstown's fair board and likewise the
town also, are already head over
heels" in preparations for the coming
of the nineteenth annual fair of the
Wayne County Fair association to be
held July %, %, 80 and 81.
The sum of 81 800 which has been
appropriated in purses as racing pre-
miums, is the largest appropriation
ever made by the association for that
purpose. This fact alone is an evil
denee that the event will be the big
gest success since the initial exhibit
ton. The officers chosen to conduct
the fair business have been well select
ed and are laboring earnestly to give
the people the biggest and best fair ev-
er held. The officers are as follows:
w. H. Porter, president; Fremont
Bennett, vice president; F. S. Walker,
secretary; L. S. Bowman, treasurer;
Gates Davis, general superintendent;
EN- Hoover assistant general superin-
tendent
The race track has already been put
in very excellent condition by compe-
tent workmen and several of the
horses entered are expected to arrive
the first of the week. The buildings
fences, etc, are all being repaired.
The attractions for the intermission
between the heats have been secured
and although the names have not been
given out as yet, it is known that the
performance has cost the fair board
quite little sum of money. II will
be in the form of a vaudeville and
strictly first class.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels q Mile
In Thirty-three Seconds.


1t is the popular belief that the fight
of the birds is much swifter than that
of the insects, but a number of natural
lists who have been making a study of
the matter think that such is not the
case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in its flight, but its
wings make 500 beats a second and
send it through the air twenty-five feet,
under ordinary circumstances, in that
space of time. When the insect is
alarmed, however, it has been found
that it can increase its rate of speed by
over 100 feet per second. If it could
continue such rapid fight for mile in
a straight line, it would cover that dis
lance in exactly thirty-three seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one Of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
Of the swiftest of flying birds. and it
was formerly thought that no insect
could escape it.
A naturalist. however, told Of an ex-
citing chase he saw between swallow
and dragon fly, which is among the
swiftest of insects. The insect few
with incredible speed and wheeled and
lodged with such ease that the swal-
low. despite its utmost efforts, COM
pletely failed to overtake it

An Ancient Military Devotion.

The eating OF three blades of grass
sin token Of the holy communion" was
a recognized form Of military devotion
in the middle ages. On the eve of bat.
tie one knight would make his confes-
sion to another and then partake OF
this symbolical communion. 1t would
not, however. be correct to speak OF
either ceremony as IAN eficacious sub
stitute" for the sacraments Of penance
and the eucharist respectively.
The practices do not even amount to
sacramentals. They were simply de.
votions in honor of the blessed eu-
charist-pious and formal expressions
of the individuals desire to communi.
cate sacramentally had the means been
present 1t may be. however, that in
popular estimation these practices were
in some sort considered substitutes
for the sacraments which were for the
time being unobtainable. - London

GETTING THE NEWS.

Method Adopted mt the Outbreak Of
the Revolutionary War.
In contrast to the workings of the
id transmission of tidings without the
aid of even a wire to guide the mes
sage is a document printed in the Berk-
shire Courier at the beginning of the
Revolutionary war. But evidently peo-
pie were as eager then as now to hear
the news.
For the Purpose of getting Speedy
and Certain Intelligence from the
Army at Boston. We the Subscribers
hereby promise and agree to Ride from
this town to birmingham or Sheffield

The water pitcher.

The following simple method of keep
ing ice water in common pitcher is
worth knowing: Put layer Of cotton
batting between two sheets Of wrap
ping paper three inches higher than
the pitcher. Fasten the ends Of the
paper and batting together, forming a
circle. Paste a cover over one end of
the batting and paper. This cover,
when over a pitcher. must come close
TO the stand and so exclude the air
and ice will keep a long time. This
paper cover will be found of great
service in a sickroom for both milk
and water pitchers.

SUPERFICIAL SENTIMENT.
Secret of Power Lies In Intensity of
Emotion.

Emotion.
Superficial sentiment Is without vital
influence. The secret of power lies in
the intensity of emotion, but especially
so in poetry, art and literature. BY no
hocus pocus can artists and writer's
adequately depict what they do not
feel. There should be thermometer
Of temperament as well as for temper
allure. Feeling and emotion have their
degrees. We are serene when our feel
ings are in the temperate zone, indig
nant when we pass eighty three, furi-
Gus when we reach blood heat, mad at
boiling point. When feeling falls be-
low so we become Indifferent, and
when 1t reaches freezing point we are
heartless. An emotion that does not
attain the seventy sixth degree is hard
ly worth recording. At summer heat
the rarest flowers begin to bloom and
nature becomes poetic. While the tenn
perate is the proper sphere for pure
reason and scientific observation, 1t Is
rarely, if ever, proper for the highest
achievement in any art. In the world
of art ina gination and feeling are not
content with a serenity that touches
the borders of Indifference. The crea-
tive instinct is never effective unless
at a certain pitch of enthusiasm. 1t Is
the sharp, clear, brilliant current of
thought that electrifies the brain. But
an idea is worthless unless we can find
a form to hold it, In the best work
idea, form and feeling appear to the
beholder as one. An electric bolt seems
a cold thing, yet a stroke of lightning
will consume more at one fash than
an ordinary fire would consume in an
hour.-Francis Grierson in Critic.
