It is further voted that Comrade Eldridge be thanked and commended for the pa- triotism which led him to apply himself through thirty years, and at great cost of time and money, to the collection of these wonderful relics and to the securing of the multitude of afidavits which establish their genuineness, and it Is resolved that it is the earnest hope of the members of Burdett camp that the state may endeavor to secure, for the pleasure and instructiSl of the public these inspiring reminders of the greatest of all civil wars, the pathetic home made, crude weapons, utensils, and tools of the brave, outnumbered brothers of the south, and the relics |of some of the many hundreds of thousands of the brave men of the north, who suffered and died to pre- vent the separation of our great, united, invincible country.

A new educational experiment is to be tried in the Instruction of British miners by the Staffordshire county council at Hamstead. The purpose of this school is to furnish opportuni- ty to miners to acquire scientific and other training in connection with mining, which will prepare them for higher positions in mines, for which they are united, despite their prac- tical experience and knowledge of mining, because of the lack of scien- tific and higher education. While this school is intended especially for miners, workmen in other industries will be afforded opportunity to at- tend. The results of this experiment will be watched with interest.

 New London Day. Lobsters are not so near being ex- terminated as persons interested would have the people believe, If the government has within a few years been appealed to estimate how long

 Lobster catching has been unusually
 good along the North Atlantic coast the past season and prices have been
 little better than for several sea-

 A young Russian Jew living Tn
 Philadelphia has said that he would willingly endure ten years Of im- lprisonment if he could have bare
 physical existence during that time and free access to books from which he could educate himself. Thanks to
 modes in vogue in the United States regarding means for securing an ed ucation, there is no need for such sacrifice in order to get knowledge. | It is hardly too much to say that any boy in ordinary good health can get an education if he really desires It. IInnumerable avenues are open TOT
 him to help himself in getting the necessary wherewithal. The public schools are a Mecca for just such boys

Use Linorliine
 The Flax Ceed
 \ Emulsion Beware of Colds ]!

Most fatal sicknesses have their begin- nings in simple ''cold" or in slight cough. Consumption first shows in cough. Bronchitis is accompanied by cough. The first stage of La Grippe is a "cold." Pneumonia ispreceded by cough and violent "cold." Croup-that terrible malady of childhood-comes solely as a condition of a 'cold." Rheumatism gen. orally follows neglect after exposure and the consequent "cold" or cough. Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal complications. arc often due to a .,cold" which settles in that region.
 Linonine will cure you if there is any cure for you.

A Bath a Month,

Apparently the people of Persia are
not great believers in the old maxim
Cleanliness is next to godliness," for
baths are only taken once a month by
the people, when they go to the public
baths and make amends, so to speak,
for the infrequency of their ablutions
by spending whole day getting clean
ed and trimmed. At the baths they
are washed, shaved, dye their hair and
nails, get shampooed and spend the
rest Of the day eating buns and drink
ing sherbet. There are fixed days for
men and women, and on bath days a
man goes about the streets shouting
"Hamum" C"Bath day!D. After the
bath the ladies have their hair plated
in a number Of thin plaits. which are
not opened and combed out until the
next bath day comes round.

THOUGHT ONLY of the Dynamite.

Some grim stories are told of Lord
Kitchener, says the United States Ga
zette, and we have read one which,
although we cannot vouch for the truth
Of 1t, has n decided Kitchener flavor
about it. A young subaltern who was
in charge of some works that were in
course Of construction in the Punjab
had the misfortune to lose some ma
tive workmen through an accident
with dynamite. Fearful of a repri-
mand from headquarters, he telegraph
ed to the commander in chief, Regret
to report killing of twelve laborers by
dynamite accident" Back is said to
have come the laconic message, do
you want any more dynamite"

and then he glanced at the secretary
with a little twinkle in his keen old
eyes.
81 don't think we shall gain any
thing by trying to break Mr. Iavlsdale

be better to give him what he asks. "
ravisdale nodded. 'l should" he
said, "have asked another shilling

They decided it during the next ten
minutes, and 1'avistdale went out with
an agreement in his pocket, and over
took Agatha Leslie and the rest of the
party being shown the great blast fur
naces by one of the managers. BY and

actly how it came about, they found
themselves some little distance from

her, neither dance nor play bridge or

great primeval forces that men of his

THE MODERN HAT.
Its Serious Defects From the Hysienic
Point of View

folnt OF view.
The size, the style and incidentally
the cost Of women's hats, says writer
in the Beriner Umschau, have taken
up so much of the time of the people
who make hats a study that they have
not had moment to devote to the
head covering of the Sterner sex. Con-
sidered from the hygienic point of
view, little fault can be found with the
hats Of our sisters, although some of
them, when viewed through the glass
of reason, are unthinkable. But mems
hats are faulty from the physicians
point Of view, and a wider knowledge
of the defects of the modern hat would
add to the already large army Of bare
headed men. In order to demonstrate
which hats should be avoided per-
fectly healthy man was placed where
the rays Of the sun could strike him d.
rectly. He wore while taking the sun
bath various kinds of hats for period
of fifteen minutes each. Every hat con-
talned in the crown a thermometer
and these recorded as follows: The one
in the panama hat II degrees, the straw
sailor 81, the silk hat 80, the felt hat
95 and the black hat and yachting cap
30 and 100 degrees respectively.

THE NORMAN FARMER.
He Carries His Top Soil With Him
When He Moves.

WHcU TIC MOVES
The modern farmer was applying
electrical massage to cart horses
sprained knee. During the intervals
of rest he talked farm talk.
"There are tenants" he said, "who.
when they move, carry their farms
with them as the tortoise does his
house. These people are the Norman
French, the worlds best farmers.
Where you or l would require twenty
or thirty acres of land to keep one fam
lily, the French farmer will keep his
family on quarter of an acre. If he
chose to cultivate twenty or thirty
acres he would become millionaire
His secret lies in the perfection to
which he brings his top soil What
with fertllizing and watering and clear
ing, his top soil Is the blacklist, finest,
richest soil on earth. His top soil is
to the French farmer what her voice
is to n prlma donna. And when he
rents he contracts that on the termina-
tion of his lease he may carry off
eighteen inches of the top soil with
him.
"When you see a French farmer NOV
ing one small cart carries his house

nous drays his top soil lumbers on be-
hind."-New York Press.

reward he had toiled for, and the girl
felt a thrill run through her, for it
seemed that she had her share in the
man g achievement. She was glad that
she had been gracious to him when he
first, in his own reserved fashion, which
was rather proud than diitident, passed
the grudgIngly opened gates of her
own world. She had seen that he was
a man with a gilt then, and now the
comments of those famous in his pro-
fession had proved her belief in him
warranted. She had also,a little later,
seen something else, and knew why
he attended functions which could
have no charm for him. Nor did that
displease her. She had had admirers
who could dance and play tennis
we'll, but they, for the most part,
could do nothing else, while this man
could handle the giant forces of fire
aud steam and shoulder his way up
ward, with the world and all it's pref
udlces against him.
81 should like to watch the rolls a
little nearer" she said.
Tavisdale nodded. "Well," he said,
simply, ~ know you are not afraid. "
Once more the engine pounded, and
the Kissing, white-hot steel leapt from
the rolls. Ii swung out behind the
two who stood nearest, while the rest
drew back, a great glowing band that
changed horribly and struck red sparks
from the resounding iron doors, and
the girl felt her heart beat a trite
faster as she realized that they were
alone within the engirdling of the
fiery steel. Still, she showed no sign
of it as she watched the man with
confidence in her big, calm eyes. They
