Camphor Tree in Florida.

AS showing how favorable to the
growth of the camphor tree is the
soil and climate of Florida, an in
stance may be cited of n grown
by Capt. ]. P. Renfroe, of Richland.
1t is a splendid camphor tree seven
teen years old that is forty feet in
height, it's branches cover forty feet
and it's diameter twelve inches above
the ground is four feet. The splen-
did hills around Richland lei to
be specially adapted both in soil and
climatic conditions to the growth and
development of the camphor tree in
it's highest state. The tree becomes
useful for the production of the gum
within a few years after planting.
The growth mentioned is an indtca-
ton that the tree thrives we'll in this

Wash and starch doilies having
knitted or crochet lace borders. When
they are half dry wrap them up in
a cloth and lay them aside. Iron
only the centre of the doilies and
pull the lace gently into shape with
the fingers.
If the color has been taken from
silks by acids it may be restored by
applying to the spots a little harris
horn or sal volatile.
When %sprinkling linen for ironing,
it is better tn use hot water than
cold, for it soaks into the linen more
quickly, and so much is not required.
When the clothes are dampened, roll
them up tightly until they can be
ironed.
Soup should never be allowed to
cool in any vessel of tin, copper or
iron; it must be poured while hot
into a shallow, well-glazed earthen
pan and be stirred.
Fresh stains upon wallpaper,
where people have rested their hands,
can be removed by covering the spot
with a mixture Of pipeclay and water
made into a soft paste and letting it
remain over night, then brush off
with a stiff whisk broom.

Ne. York City Has 1915 Saloons.

A census compilation recently made
public in Washington sets forth a few
very striking facts. Among these
are the following: ,
(a) Cleveland and San francisco
lead all other cities in the number Of
saloons as compared with the popula'
ton. During 1905 there were $3.50
saloons in San Francisco and 1871
arrests for intoXication. In Cleve.
land there we're 3177 saloons and
1857 arrests for drunkenness. /,
: (b) New York in 1905 had 1915
licensed saloons, with 1850 grocera
and $40 druggists authorized to sell
liquor. During the same period there
were 52,316 arrests for intoxication,

I'm Going to Sleep"

In making public tributes to the
late Thomas Bailey Aldrich from we'll
known writer's, Talbot B. Aldrich,
son of the poet, told how the famous
author approached death, with his
mind filled with poetical thoughts.
Mr.. Aldrich said:
My father died a poet. Only a
little while before the end he said: i
regard death as nothing but the pass
ing of the shadow of the flower.
His last words as he passed away,
holding u hands, were:

Air Navigation.

Archytas, the geometer of Taren-
tum, B. C. 800, is supposed to have
been the first to think of a flying
machine" According to Aulus Gel
illus, Archytas made "a dove in wood,
so contrived as by a certain mechani-
cal art and power to fly" Albert
Magnus, of the thirteenth century, is
said to have made some sort of flying
machine. In the sixteenth century an
Italian alchenlist visited Scotland and
built a machine with wings, with
which he undertook to fly from Stir
ling Castle to France. The Montgol-
fer brothers, Stephen and Joseph,
sent up the first balloon, June, 1873.
The first human being to ascend in a
balloon was Francois Pilatre de Ro-
zier, October. 1888 New York

CHAPTER XII.

In spite Of all that Mademolselle
Rigaud had said about her fathers
poverty, Arthur could not divest him
self of the idea that they would find
him living in a way, at all events, not
uncomfortable, though, of course, not
in keeping with the wealth that he
knew him to possess; but he was
greatly astonished to find that the re-
atty ever exceeded her expectations.

The Passing Of the Moonshiner.

Moonshiners are becoming scarce,
says David A. Gates, chief Of the in
ternal revenue agents Of the Treasury
Department, giving the following rea-
son:
The rapidity with which the liquid
traffic has forced itself forward in
politics. is one Of the main reasons
for the gradual decrease of noon
shining establishments. Tennessee
went dry last fall; many counties in
Kentucky are now numbered among
the white ribboners," and Virginia
is, for the most part, opposed to the
sale or traffic in liquor. ,
Everything is gradually helping to
make the historic and romantic Occur
patton Of a moonshiner a memory and
a faint memory at that.-Washing-

Emperor William Astonished.

In the commissioners report to the
Kaiser, it is shown that the German
people have consumed alcoholic liq'
uors during the past year to the
amount Of S750,0Q0,000. The Kais'
er's commissioners report that drink
ing is steadily on the increase, this in
crease amounting to s125, 100000
per annum in late years. When the
Kaiser read this part of the commits.
sioners' reports he cried, IAN increase
Of six hundred millions in five years!
Why, the Yankees themselves could
not stand it." Reports show that
there vas a long discussion between
the Kaiser and the commissioners as
to the possibility of reducing THU
tremendous amount.

THE STILL, SMALL VOICE.

The fool said in his heart, "There is no
God" .
Then came calamity into his life.
A whelming storm of loss and bitter
strife =,
But he defsnt stood, unmoved, !unawed-
He felt Affections keen, unsparing rod; :
He saw swept from him children, friends
and wife.
The universe with wrong to him seemed
rife
And still he cried aloud, "There is no
God!"
The Spirit moved again, in gentler mood.
And to his soul spake soft and still,
till he
Who in the storm and earthquake heard
Lent ear unto the still, small voices plea
And learned at last the ever-blessed spell
That God doth rule, and doeth all things
well.
The universe with good to him was rife
And then he cried, "Omnipotent Is
God!"

She Stood by Him,

. A man in an Ohio town failed in
the dry goods business and tried to
retrieve his fortunes by going into the
saloon business. His wife opposed;
but to no purpose. He opened his
place." and his resourceful wife ar.
gued that if the barroom was a good
place for her husband, it was a good
place for her. So she dressed herself
in her finest and took her work-bo1
and sat down by the bar to keep hel
husband company. The presence OF
a cultivated lady froze out the thirsty
patrons and the husband was soor
forced to quit the business.

Dainty Way to Serve Cabbage.

Cut out the heart stem and core
of a medium sized cabbage, and re-
move the outer leaves. Plunge the
head into an abundance of boiling
water for four minutes, and take it
up very carefully, so as not to break
it. Let it cool. Prepare a force
meat, using a pound of sausage with
a quarter of a pound Of lean veal
ground to a pulp and seasoned to
taste. Stuff the inside Of the head,
and tie it up carefully, so that the
stufing will not come out. Put into

Year to Trim CuIIinan Diamond.

An Amsterdam diamond cutter has
begun the work of trimming the Gull
Imam diamond, the Transvaal's gift to
King Edward of England, into shape.
The task will probably occupy a year.
It is believed the gem will be the
largest perfect diamond in the world
when cut. The portions containing
flaws will be cut into smaller stones.
The workroom is guarded by the po-
lice day and night and a special staff
of private watchmen is employed to
see that none but the authorized ex-
perts enter.

1.-THE Kansas of to-day furnishes
an example that prohibition does pro-
hibit. In this county n year ago
! there were 256 saloons. They were
oil closed within thirty days, and we
have now existed without saloons for
more than one year. About a year
ago there we're saloons in probably
half of the counties in this State;
To-day, excepting Crawford County.
there is not an open saloon in the

reaches you there will not be a saloon

by proceedings i'll the Supreme
Court Of this State all the brewers
have been ousted, and their real es:
tate is in possession of the receivers
appointed by the Supreme Court, and
unless the breweries sell the same to
parties purchasing for legitimate pur.
poses within six months 1t is to be
sold at public auction. This order OF
the court prevents breweries and
wholesale liquor houses from owning
any property in this State, real Of
personal.
Many people Of this city feared
the closing Of the saloons would ruin
our prosperity, but such has not been
the result. On the contrary, bust:
ness in all departments has increased,
deposits in our banks increased
about $2,0O0,000, merchants havd
employed additional clerks, county
and city expenses reduced $4,000 In
