NOTHING LEFT TO BLUSH FOR.
Tactful Uncle Meets the Situation in
Really Great Style.

A young man in want of $25 wrote
to his uncle as follows:
Dear Uncle-If you could see
how l blush for shame as l am writ
ing, you would pity me. Why?
Because | have to ask you for a few
dollars, and do not know how to ex-
press myself. 1t is impossible for
me to tell you. / prefer to die. |

will wait for an answer Believe
me, my dearest uncle, your most
obedient and affectionate nephew.
"P. S.-Overcome with remorse for
what | have written, | have been
running after the messenger in order
to recover this letter, but l cannot
catch him. Heaven grant that some
thing may stop him or that this let
ter may get lost"
The uncle was naturally touched
but was equal to the emergency. He
replied as follows:
my Dear Jack-Console yourself
and blush no more. Providence has
heard your prayer. The messenger
lost your letter. Your affectionate

The pastor of a church in an Ohio
town has found 1t necessary to de-
nounce kissing during services. This
is somewhat surprising. There was
no such, accompaniment to sermon,
singing and prayer in our time, but
the world moves, or as Cicero puts
it "Tempora mutantur," and we
must change with the times. The
pastor says that the practice of kiss
ing during service is more stimulat-
ing and pernicious than alcoholic
beverages. We are not surprised to
hear it. We have known, however,
that in rural communities, the
church, or meeting house." as it is
very properly called, was not alto

prison at Sherborn, for the staying of
Clinton f. Childs, formerly of Bath,
Me, has requested her counsel not to
attempt to secure for her a new trial.
The bill Of exceptions prepared by
counsel is ha.,ed on evidence that Judge
Sherman would not admit at the recent
manslaughter trial.
Mrs. Silhy's sentence is 10 years,
which can be shortened to five by good
behavior.
Notwithstanding his clients request,
Thomas F. Carey, Mrs. Silby's attor-
nev, stated that he should present the
regular channels.
The bill of exceptions drawn up by
Attorney Carey deals with a dying
statement supposed to have been made
by Childs, that Judge Sherman re-
fused to admit in evidence at the re-
cent mansaughter trial. According to
the bill, Childs claimed he was shot
by accident.
Learning that her attorney intended
to present this to the supreme court,
Mrs. Silby requested him to withhold
it. claiming that she could not undergo
the ordeal of another trial.

Japan Rigid|y Enforcing
''Pure Food Laws"
Which Seem Aimed Solely at
The American Goods.
Government Adopts Lively and Far
reaching Boycott Policy.

Victoria =. c., March %. Japan has
adopted far-reaching pc icy of boy
cotting American goods and is confis-
eating shipments right and left.
According to advices received Satur-
day the boycott is in the nature OF
rigid enforcement of pure food laws
The following appeared in 4oko-
hama newspaper:
For some unexplainable reason, ex-
cepting that action has been taken
under the food law the Japanese au-
thorities, backed by police officers,
have been calling on foreign and native
grocers and confiscating their stocks
of certain brands of goods.
Strange to say. the goods confiscat-
ed have been American goods only
The officers do not even look at the
British, German and French goods
that were strongly in evidence.
"Another feature of these strange
proceedings was that nearly all the ar
ticles confiscated bore the stamp of
American health boards and each
package was printed with all the
names of the ingredients contained.
THE dealers inform us that they
never knew there was such a thing as
a Japanese pure food law and If
there is. they wonder why it is never
enforced and snap judgment taken
without notice The loss to the dealers
is serious"

Minnesota Educator Makes

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.-Dean
George D. Frankforter of the College of
Chemistry of the University of Mnneso-
ia said Saturday he had discovered a
pi ccess by which he claimed that the
United States will produce 100 times as
much wood pulp paper as was believed
POSSIBLE.
1t is claimed that the discovery means
that every cord of fir lumber will yield
$40 on by-products alone and that most
of the 60 per cent. of a tree now wasted
will be utilized ="
DR.. Frankforter says he experimental
for Il years. He describes the perfected
process as placing small pieces of waste
wood, or sawdust, on steel incline over
furnace and forcing distillation of the
waste wood by saturating it with carbon
disulphide. or gasoline, thus causing the
turpentine and rosin to pass off as gases
and leaving wood pulp free from pitch

PENSIONERS LONG LINERS.

An important and noteworthy fact
which IS to be taken into account by
English economists in the; ADMINISTRATION
of their old-age pension system, is that
pensioners live long. That fact, often
stated in q satiric vein, is to be taken
seriously, as demonstrated by statistics
and AS having an essential bearing on
both the amount of pensions to be paid
and the effect of them upon society.
\ striking demonstration of this ia to
be observed in the records of the
Frinedly Society Of Iron Founders, in
England. That organization has for
many years been paying pensions to it's
supcrannuated members. In 1895 it
was found that the average age of
these pensioners at death was 6S wears
and e months. I'm 19O6-O7 it was II
years and 5 months. Thus the average
life Of pensioner had been heightened
by two years and nine months. ~
1t Goes not appear that the general
average of human life in England has
been heightened to 50 great an extent.
wherefore we must conclude that the
pensions are an important factor in the
promotion &C lcnggevity. That is quite
natural. Of course for the enjoyment OF
pension means better food and gener-
ally better conditions of life than the
Superannuatcd worker would have

Prices Of Stocks Grad
ua|bGo to Higher Level.
Advance Taken as Hopeful
Sign for Business.
Several Phases Of Uncertainty Tend
To Prevent Commercial Activity.

New York March 2S.--Prices of stocks
moved last week Regularly and halt
ingly towards a higher level. This hap
pened to the accompaniment of express
sions of encouragement from various
sources at the slow rate of progress OF
business improvement and the small APP
parent prospect of early revival. While
the seeming discrepancy of the action
of the stock market received some eX-
PLANTATION in the technical conditions
ruling it, and shaping of the price move
ment upwards was impressive as an in
dex of proved reliability of improve
ment to come in the general business
situation
While the conditions reported from the
various trade channels as making for
encouragement were not questioned, the
action of the stock market was such as
to suggest that they had been already
accounted for in that medium, leaving
room for assuming an outlook forward
to the coming betterment of which the
expectation is universal.
While the character Of the operations
in stocks have no clear indication of
active steps based on this expectation of
ultimate Improvement, tlltIc W ttS Ilot-
able power of resistance which argued

better prices. 1t was this that made diff

had sold stocks short in anticipation of

the import duties now under discussion
before forward steps are taken The
condition of the winter grain crops is
another undecided problem, although a
growing sentiment of encoura cement
over the condition of winter wheat is
observable.
The conspicuous feature in the labor
outlook was the conferences in progress
for settlement of anthracite miners
wages. The impression in the financial
district was that a peaceful settlement
would be effected. and from this favor
able augures were drawn for the sue
