Solid Land Values.

People who have their money invest
ed In farm lands and other zeal estate
have no cause to be alarmed over the
depression in values that have cone
to industrial stocks and other kinds of
securities incident TO the financial dur
ry. Thousands of people all over the
country who have sold their holdings of
that kind are looking for real estate
investments, and this will hold up real
estate values TO q high notch. There
is nothing that can hurt the values of
farm lands but a succession of crop
failures and that is something that it
not liable to happen IN this section of
the country. The farm you own is
worth every dollar now that it was
worth three months ago.-Armstrong

SLOOP-OF-WAR SARATOGA.
Boston Junk Dealers Buy Famous Ship,
and VIII Burn Her Next Spring.


Anchored on the Bird Island flats off
East Boston is one of the famous old
wooden ships Of the United States navy
the Saratoga-which has been con-
demned and bought by a local Junk con-
Germ, and which will within a few
months be stripped and burned for the
old metal in her hull. The Saratoga WIS
formerly a twenty-gun slOop-ot-war and
was built at Kittcry, Me. She first went
to the coast of South Africa to watch
the slave traders, her first commander
being Joseph Tatnall, who afterwards
had charge of the Confederate ram Mer-
rimac. The sloop took part in the war
with the Barbary pirates in 1913. She
was one Of the ships which formed q
part Of Commodore Perry's famous ex-
petition to Japan, which opened that
country to the worlds commerce and civ
ilization. In the Mexican war the Sara
toga served as part OF the blOckading
fleet. Admiral Farragut had her for his
hrst command at the Outbreal, Of the
Civil war.
At the close of the Civil war the Sara
toga was dropped from the active list
and became the receiving and training
ship at Philadelphia, where she remained
for many years. In 1889 she was turned
over TO the state Of Pennsylvania Tor
use as a schoolship, much the same as
the Enterprise is employed here. 1t was
during a hurricane off the coast Of the
Barbados last winter that the old ship
was crippled 80 that it was decided to
abandon her, and so a few weeks ago she
was sold for old junk, and now she has
been tOwed here. The price paid by
Thomas Butler & Co. Of Medford street,
this city, was S321O.
The Saratoga will remain in her pres
ent anchorage until her owners find Il
wharf where she can be tied up for the
winter, and next spring the ship will be
towed to some convenient place to be
beached and burned.-Boston Transcript.

Presidential Messages.

Having two years ago sent to the
United States Congress the longest
presidential message ever known. con
tanning from 25,000 to $4,000 words, or
from thirteen to fourteen solid newstype
columns of The Times, President Roose-
welt has now cclipsed himself with no
fewer than $4,000 words, or approaching
eighteen such columns. This almost ap-

startling when compared with the 1000
words of Washington's inaugural ad-

Violin as a Hair Restorer.

1t is now a scientifically proved fact
that music exercises a great influence on
the growth of the hair. 1t is with good
reason that great musicians, such as
Paganini, List and Paderewski, are rep,
resented with a growth of hair which Alb,
salon might have envied.
Science has proved that stringed instru.
ments have a favorable influence on the
growth of the hair. while brass instru
ments act in the opposite direction. Ev
cry one has probably observed that q
bald violinist is as rare as bald horn
player is common. Wood instruments
such as tie flute. seem to have no pro
nOunced influence either way.-Paris

Three Bears Killed in One Cave

R. 2. Marsh of Dubois thought that
he had tracked one bear into cave
near Benezette on Saturday. He fol-
lowed the bear into the cave, shot it and
dragged the carcass out with a hook.
While dressing the bear he heard growls
coming from the cave, and again crawled
part way in and let drive. Taking it for
granted that he had killed bruin No. ,.
Marsh again brought the hook into play.
But this time when it came out there
was live bear on the end of it. Marsh
dropped the pole and started for his gun,
but before he reached it bruin had over
taken him and a lively fight ensued.
Marsh finally managed to break away
and, securing his rifle killed the brute.
Satisfied that the second bear shot at in
the cave had been killed. he again used
the hook, and was rewarded by hauling
a good-siZed bear from the hole. This
made total of three bears in less than
three-quarterS of an hour. Mr.. Marsh
is scratched and bruised as result of
his tussle with bruin, but not seriously
injured. Philadelphia Record.
