Ths Invention of spinnina.

The invention of the art of spinning was ascribed by the ancients to Miner va. the goddess of wisdom. The date 15o0 B. c. is given as that of the be- ginning of the art in Greece, under the direction of the king of Arcadia. but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian monuments show that the use of the spindle and distan was known in that country much earlier. The first distah was simply a stick, around which the fiber to be spun was loosely coiled. held in the left hand; the spindle was a sort of top set in motion by twirl of the hand. the fiber passing between the finger and thumb of the right hand. This invention was improved upon in the course of time by placing the spin die in a frame and making it revolve by mechanical action of the hand OF foot in connection with wheel or treadle. thus giving the true spinning wheel The first recorded use of this was in the early years of the sixteenth century, but it was probably made and used long before this. The first spin ming jenny. machine working eight spindIes. was invented in 1767.

COMMISSIONS IN THE
 REGULAR ARMY OPEN.
President Gives the National GuardSmen Chance For
 Second LieutenancieS,

PHOENIX, Jan. 14.-President Roosevelt has opened a new avenue of advancement to the members Of the Arizona National Guard. which is shown in letter received this morn ing from the chief executive by Gov ernor Kibbey-
 President Roosevelt informs Gov. ernor Kibbey that he may name any member of the National Guard to take the examination for the post d sec ond lieutenant in the regular army. In his letter to Governor Kibbey, President Roosevelt explains that the number of regular army officers to fill the positions of second lieutenant is much behind the requirements.
 There are many vacancies, says President Roosevelt, and it is to fill these that he is offering this opportu- nity to members of the Arizona Ma tional Guard, who can become officers in the regular army without attending | West Point.
 The salary paid second lieutenants is about $500 per year, and the ex' animation that must be passed is | about the same as graduation from a well organized high school or Tor en, trance to college. a.. .-. The only stipulation made in Pres
 ident Roosevelt's letter regarding the | applicants is that they must be be tween the ages of 21 and 27 years N Of course the customary good health
 and morals will be included.
 The examination will be held in
 July next, and between this and that
 time Governor Kibbey will select tht Il member of the Arizona Nationa
 Guard who is to have the honor O
 taking the examination.

APPEAL TO GOVERNOR.

PHOENIX, Jan. -14Tr Pleading that his aged parents are Ldestitute and need him to support them, Henry Davis filed an appeal with Governor Kibbey this morning fcr communication from the death penalty to a lesser punishment.
 Davis is under sentence to be hang ed at Globe for the murder of State Jones. He was to have expiated his crime some time ago, but filed an ap- peal with the supreme court which will be acted upon during the next three weeks.
 Untir the supreme court acts, Gov ernor Kibbey will take no action on the petition filed by Davis, but will probably act upon the papeEs in the event of the supreme court refusing to grant Jones a new trial.

poured into Pemberton square at the
heels of a strangly garbed woman who
approach Chief Watts on the steps of
the police headquarters and demanded
that the police look upon the lawless
throng that had been pursuing her for
hours. The woman was ISobel Louise
Johnson, who describes herself as an
"altruist," and who wears knee
length dress cut bloomer fashion.

cause the muddy streets of Boston de-
mand it. No. | will not wait until the

RUSSELL SAGE LEFT
$64,153,8O0 ESTATE

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Russell Sage
left an estate worth $64, 1853 S00.91. ac-
cording TO the report made by Robert
F. Dillon, appraiser. Mr.. Sage died
July II, 1906.
Appraiser Dillon's report shows that
of the total amount of Mr.. Sage's prop
erty, Mrs. Sages share was worth $685.
SS,900.91, the remaining $65000O going
to nieces nephews, grandnieces and
one at-grandnephew. Relatives of
Mr.. Sage more distant than these were
not remembered in the will.
The property was appraised at this
time for the purpose OF estimating the
amount of transfer taxes. and the re-
port of Mr.. Dillon. as approved by Sur
rogate Beckett, fixes the total tax at
$667, ,5SSO1, of which Mrs. Sage, out
of her share. is to pay $685. 0SSO1.
When Mr.. Sage died the financial dis
trict placed a valuation of $50 900, 900
on his property. and business men yes
terday said that this figure might not
have been far wrong at that time, but
since then a considerable shrinkage
has occurred in the value of many
securities, which would account for
the difference between the popular and
the appraised valuation.
In his decision Surrogate Beckett
states that he approves the findings of
the appraisers report fixing the value
of the estate and the amount of the
transfer tax.

WHEAT MARVEL LIKE ONE
OF THIRTY YEARS AGO
Resident of Philadelphia Tried Similar
Grain "Fou~ IN Mummy's
Hand" but t Petered
Out Quickly

PHILADELPHIA. oct. 24.--Is the
Alaska wheat, which is said to have
been discovered by Abraham Adams of
Juliaetta county, Idaho, and which is
reputed to grow 200 bushels or more to
the acre, merely another name for the
old Egyptian, or mummy wheat,
which aroused so much interest among
farmers in Pennsylvania thirty years
ago? The Rev. j. f. Leyda of S76 North
Fortieth street thinks it is.
The Rev. Mr.. Leyda, who was. a
farmer in Washington county. this
state, in the '70s, said that in 1873 an
agent traversed his county and the
county of jefferson selling what he
termed "Egyptianf mummy wheat
seeds.
He had one stalk of the grown
product for exhibition purposes. which
he kept in a glass covered box. 1t had
on it, DR.. Leyda says, clusters of heads
similar to that shown in photograp pks
of a head of Alaska wheat. According
to the agent, the seed had been recov-
cred from the hand of a mummy In
Egypt. a relic through the centuries of
the Egyptian custom of burying the
dead with a stalk of wheat in their
hands. @
\ DIR. Leyda said that at the request of
a man named Morton, he bought a
quantity of the seeds at 81 a quart.
When planted in the middle of a wheat
field the seeds produced an extra fine
grade of grain, but without the head
clusters. He sold the wheat through
out the middle states as Morton SEED
wheat. The wheat was good he says,
tihf in few years the seeds gave out,
and he has heard nothing of anything
like it until the recent agitation over
the Idaho farmers find"

IT, DIES IN HOME SHE
WENT TO AS A BRIDE


PHILADELPHLA, oct. PA desire,
expressed sixteen years ago, by Mrs.
Jane A. Moore, that she might end
her days in the. house at 2753 Pratt
street, Bridesburg. where she began
her married life, was fulfilled yester-
day.
While descending flight of stairs
Mrs. Moore who was n years old,
was stricken with appplexy and fell
headlong to the floor below. Her body
was found an hour later by her daugh-
ter Mrs. Margaret Bake. of 2767 Pratt
street. A physician declared that
death had resulted from apopexy. The
only injury, sustained by the old wom-
an in her fall was a slight bruise on
the forehead.
Mrs. Moore was II years old when
Andrew Moore took her to thes Pratt
street house as his bride. They lived
there for fourteen years. and it was
there that their four children were
born. In 1892, while residing in Port
Richmond, Mrs. Moore was bereft of
her husband and two children within
three months. She decided to leave the
house which had witnessed so much
sorrow for her and return to the scene
of the happy days of her early married
life, declaring at the time that she
hoped her last days would be spent
there.

BRYN MAWR GIRLS ARE
HAPPY OVER NEW GYM
Structure Will Cost $4,000 and Will
Be Ready for Occupancy by
Opening of College
Year

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 24.-Bryn
Mawr girls are going in training this
fall and If they don't compete for the
olympic games championship it won't
be because they can't make a running
broad jump or put the shot.
The worlds athletes are hereby
warned that the erudite college maids
are going to forsake their Pragmatism
and put their Ibsens on the shell while
they practice the hammer throw and
the pole vault in their new $500 GYM
nasium, for which plans have been pre-
pared by De Forest & Soule, a Boston
firm of architects. The building will be
erected before the college opens in
October.
For years the plaint of the Bryn
Mawr girl has been that she has had
to content herself with playing ping
pong and doing calesthenics, while her
Vassar and Smith sisters are winning
fame by their high jumps and 100 yard
dashes. Tennis basketball and hockey
have been the limit of the students
athletic achievements, and they have
never been able to enter any intercol-
legiate contests for lack of practice
During the past term the girls who
think it's Just as important to learn
how to take a hurdle and do "a run
ming broad jump as it is to matriculate
in Greek or pass a rigid exam in eco
said they were going to have a gym
that would be a gym-not a poky out
of-date place with few dumbbells and
Indian clubs.
Dean Thomas sympahtized with
them, but she said there wasn't any
money to build such a gymnasium. The.
upshot was that the girls collected the
money among the students. They got
contributions amounting to $4,000. I'm
der the leadership of Marjorie Young
of Boston, the seniors made raids on
the eXchequer of every girl in college.
Rich papas We're touched" and several
sent checks of $1,000. All sorts of schemes
were devised The athletic association
members worked like Trojans. and by
the end of May there was only $4,000 to
be collected. Dean Thomas took a hand
then and appealed to friends and neigh
bors of the college for help, and the re-
suit was that ten prominent men made
up the sum.
SO the girls are going to have their
gym, and it is to bea wonder 1t will
make Vassar and Smith and Wellesley
sit up and take notice, and henceforth
the prowess of Bryn Mawr blue stock
ings will be as great as their erudition.
The building, will be two stories hign,
measuring 81 by 81 feet. with a running
track above and plenty of room for
dashes, jumps and Vaulting. OF course
there will be the usual paraphernara
of horizontal sbars, travelling rings,
weights and basketball. Tennis courts
and handball courts will be provided
and there will be a special corner for
fencing. 1t is whispered that the girls
will put on the gloves and they may
learn to wrestle. but there was no
authority at the college yesterday to
deny or affirm the rumor.
In the basement there is provision for
a swimming pool and water polo, high
dives and aquatic feats will put the
girls in the c. NJ. Daniels class.

BURNT CORK NEARLY
CAUSES A LYNCHING
Jealous Husband Disguised as Negro
Is Mobbed While Thrashng His
Wife's Companion and Her
Affinity Escapes

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 24.-The
wonderful makeup of Roy Henry, a
prosperous grocer of this city, came
pretty near to costing him his life at
the. hands of a mob Henry suspected
that his wife was going out to meet
James Beering, and he determined to
follow her.
Then he conceived the idea of dis
guising himself as a negro, so that
neither his wife nor Beering would
know him if they saw him following
them. With the aid of burnt cork he
succeeded admirably.
Thus disguised, he followed his wife
and Beering until his anger got the
better of him and he went for the
affinity in a downtown street and pro-
ceeded to pummel him with his fists.
Beering, finding himself suddenly at
tackled in the street by an unknown
negro, countered heavily on Henrys
jaw, and then they mixed it up and
were pounding each other hard when
Mrs. Henry's affrighted screams at
tracted a crowd
The black Henry was on top of the
white Beering when the crowd got
there. and was punching him hard and
fast The crowds sympathies were
with the white man. They hauled
Henry off and handled him roughly.
Hang him" cried some one.
The cry was taken up and his cap
tors began to drag Henry toward a

in the healing Of thousands upon thou
sands of cases Of acute and chronic
disease, mental and physical, functional
and organic.
This is not mere assertion. 1t is
demonstrable fact and should silence
the claim so often made that Christian
Science is good only for nervousness
and hysteria, a claim which is made
the basis for the statement that the
cures wrought by Christian Science
can all be explained as resulting from
blind faith, will power, or mental sug-
gestion.
Employed for Good Only
Experience has shown that the heal
ing of disease through Christian Science
treatment always involves an immedi-
ate or gradual improvement in the
moral character of the individual This
may not, of course, be truly said of
any material system. Mental sugges-
ton could be and frequently is used for
evil purposes Christian Science can be
successfully employed for good only.
Christian Scientists do not, as some
suppose, declare to their patients that
evil and matter are unreal and then
leave them with that declaration.
They agree with the inquirer that
matter and evil seem to be perfectly
real to the false human sense, but show
! him how to prove their actual unreality
by helping him to comprehend the in
fnity of Good, Spirit, and its manifes-
tation. Knowing the difficulties which
have obstructed the way of their own
| progress Godward, students of Chris
tian Science realize that only by de-
grees will mankind acknowledge, the
demonstrable truth of the statement
made by Mrs. Eddy on page 46S of
Science and Health, with Key to. the
Scriptures There is no life, truth,
| intelligence, nor Substance in matter.
All is infinite Mind and it's infinite
manifestations, for God is All-in-all.'
This scientific statement was just as
true when Mrs. Eddy was the only per-
| son on earth who understood 1t as it
is today when it is coming to be more
generally accepted. The practical ap-
| plication of this statement and other
| teachings of Mrs. Eddy has stricken
the cruel fetters of disease and sin
| from more than a million of earth's
weary pilgrims who give God the glory
| for their freedom while acknowledging
their gratitude to his messenger.
Even a casual reader of the Chris
| tian Science textbook should be able
| to discover that it is a convincing ap-
peal for a return to absolute mon
| otheism and a protest against polythe-
ism. pantheism and the prevalent form
of dualism which is the outgrowth of
the vain attempt, as Mrs. Eddy ex-
presses it. ito hold Spirit in the grasp
of matter. From World Today.
