 Long Distance Walker

Joe Mikulec, a sprightly young Austrian, was in Winslow We'd nesday evening and appeared be- fore the patrons of the Electric Theatre giving an account of his travels during the past two years. Hr
 Mikulec started from Crotia. Austria, in February of 1906, to walk around the world and to visit every known civilized coun- try on the globe, the journey to be.completed within five years. If successful, q European publish ing house will pay Alikulec 50,- 900 crowns, or an equivalent m United States money of $1O,OOO. During the journey he is writing articles for the publishing com pany descriptive of the various cities and countries visited and these, together with pictures, are being printed at regular in- tervals throughout Europe.
 One of the conditions of the trip is that Mikulec will visit the capital of every statein the Union and it is this portionvof the trip he is now walking, securing an impression of the seal'o the state as well as the signatures of the Governors and and other state officers available in abook which he carries for that purpose.
 Like many other Old World travellers, Mikulec declares the United States the best country of all and has announced his in- tention of returning to this coun- try. to reside permanently when his present trip is finished.

USE OF ALLIGATOR SKINS.
Consumption of the Leather Is Now
 Greater than Ever Before.

Greater than Ever Before.
 Occasional attempts to utilize the coriaceous epidermis of alligators in leather manufacture have been made for over 100 years or more, but not with much success until 1855, when this novel leather became somewhat fashionable and a considerable demand developed. The market, however, was not long continued, and after a few thousand hides had been shipped from the Gulf States the demand ended.
 During the Civil War another raid was made upon these saurians to sup ply shoe material and they were again slaughtered in thousands, but with the cessation of hostilities and the restor- ation of free commerce in shoe mate rial the alligators were again left to repose for period.
 The rest, however. was only tempor ary, for about 1869 fckle fashion again called for the leather for manufactur- ing into fancy slippers. boots, travelling bags, belts, card cases, music rolls and so forth An immense demand was soon created for 1t, resulting in the slaughter of many thousands of the animals every year, giving employment to hundreds of men. The demand soon exhausted the productive capacity of this country and large numbers of skins were imported from Mexico and Gen. tral America.
 The consumption of this leather at present is greater than ever before. and owing to the large importations the market price is somewhat less than a few years ago. The output of the tanneries of the United States approxf- mates 2S0,000 skins annually, worth s420,O00. It is characteristic of all aquatic leather-indeed, of all feathers that they are curiously checkered in oblong divisions, known as scales" or bosses" separated by intersecting grooves, and varying in size and char acter from the rough. hornlike scutes on the back to the smooth. pliable markings on other parts of the body. giving the skin that peculiar effect which makes 1t so popular for leather purposes.

which is operated by one of the keys on the piano keyboard. Across these strings runs a travelling band, which performs the functions of a bow, ex- cept that in the case of this instru- ment the strings come out to meet the bow instead of the bow moving back and forth from the strings. Each string is attached to pivoted arm. and as the key Is struck the arm moves out ward and the string comes in contact with the travelling band, producing the sound of a bow scraplng a fiddle string. A spring pulls the arm back into place when the pressure on the key is relieved and pedal at the bot tom of the instrument regulates the sound.

CORNERS STEAL BELLS.
Taken from Church and JaiI-M etal
 of COunterfeiters.


 The strange theft of church bell from the chapter house of Southwark cathedral the other day was paralleled some few years ago by the mysterious disappearance of the big bell of fla nous English jail. It was in it's place one evening and the next morning 1t had vanished. The affair was kept a secret from the press, in accordance with the traditional policy pursued by our prison authorities, and for long while nobody knew what had become of the missing article.
 Eventually, however, 1t leaked out that 1t had been stolen by one of the convicts with the connivance of a war der. The thief was a professional coiner whose period of detention was on the point of expiring and his req son for desiring the acquisition of so much good metal is sufficiently obvi- ous to need no explanation.
 In all probability the missing South wark bell was annexed for similar purpose, although. other ends have been had in view in the past by steal

CTS of such articles. There was, for instance, the case of the antiquary who stole the famous St. Killin bell from its place in the tower of Killin Church in Perthshire.
 The vulgar believed that the bell If surreptitiously carried away would extricate itself from the hands of the thief of its own accord and return home ringing all the way; and the antiquary, when called to account, pleaded that he took the bell in order to prove the falisty of this particular popular superstition. Then there was that Ralph the Rover" of Southey's well-known ballad who stole the Inch. cape bell in order that peaceful mer. chantmen might be wrecked upon the dreaded reef. He perished himself with all his crew, because of the ab- sence of its warning note, a fact known to every choolboy.-Pearson Weekly.

 he was a saint so clever, He gave the snakes and toads a twist

tences until all of its forms are in
 his system.
 To illustrate his method Hicks has written a spelling book in which only 312 words are intensively taught each year. Taht, he says, is all the aver age child should be expected to learn thoroughly. These words are the
 words in common use that are most commonly misspelled. The book cov- CTS six school years. making only 1872
 words a child is expected to give real attention to in a full elementary course. More words are written in the book. In fact the book provides a
 vocabulary of almost 5000. But the others are for practice only. Unworthy easy words and unworthy difficult words are eliminated.
 In compiling this book Hicks took the words he found the children in the schools most generally misspelling, and
 instead of teaching ten to thirty words
 day as the old methods prescribed
 he teaches two. These two words are
 emphasized in his system. They com
 prise the lesson. They are taught
 thoroughly by the instructor. Eight
 words are given for review the same
 day Next day the two words inten-
 sively taught the day before go into
 the review column and two new words
 are emphasized.

 weeks of school days the child has
 been thoroughly fought eighty words and contest is held in which these eighty words are used. The records show that in these contests practically
 every child has perfect mark. This is accounted for by the fact that the brain is not crammed with new and strange words every day.
 Two new words do not tend to fright en a child, where ten words would and he is sure to know the two when he finishes with them, where he might be utterly confused when confronted with ten, is the Hicks argument. The efficacy of the system was proved recently in Cleveland when a list of words was given the pupils of all the seventh grades of the city. It was found that the words gave the pupils in two schools largely composed of Jewish children 12.So0 chances to make a mistake. When the results of the test were tabulated it was discov- cred that one boy in each school made one error. Some criticism of the Hicks system manifested itself in Cleveland when i' was shown by the percentage that the schools were rapidly developing an ability to spell. It was charged that for test purposes and to make rec ! ord for the system, simple and easily spelled words were given. Hicks showed the fallacy of this charge by the fact that the words chosen were the words that by test and recitation
 were found to be most generally mis- spelled.

THE GOODWILL HABIT.

We have all met the habitual be- Hitler. says Orison Sweet Warden Tn Success Magazine" who never sees any good in anything which does not immediately concern himself. advance his interests. the man who is always fIinging out his sarcasms. sticking a knife into other peoples backs, making light of others motives. finding faults and defects in their characters and inn plying that they are not what they pretended to be.
 It is positively painful to the small soul to hear competitor compli- mented or spoken well of. He always tries to minimize the virtue and quail ity of the praise of another by a ma licious "if' or but" or endeavors in some way to throw doubt upon the character of the person praised.
 The habit of belittling is confes- sion of weakness, of inferiority. of a small. jealous, envious nature: a con- fession that ones life is not well poised. we'll balanced. The large. mag unanimous soul has no room fir jealousy. for the belittling spirit. It magnifies the good and minimizes the bad

The man who belittles competitor. who main tains a mean silence when he should own narrowness and stinginess of soul A man with a really large nature is generous. charitable. even to hie en- emy.
 The belittler does not realize that in disparaging others. in discounting the achievements of competitors. he is ex- posing the limitations of his own soul, the smallness of his nature, and not only that, but all the time is making the person he is talking to think less of him. We little imagine that when we draw a picture of others we draw one of ourselves A small. mean soul sees only small. mean things in an- other. A really great nature sees only the good qualities of others.
 Unfortunately, men of great ability who have been distinguished for bril- liant intellectual gifts. often unusual courage and tenacity of purpose, men who have really done big things. have frequently been insanely pealous and envious of others. especially those in the same profession or business as themselves.
 Many singers and actors-and. I am sorry to say, some clergymen-suffer from professional jealousy. They are pained by hearing others in their pro fession praised. This jealousy is per haps more characteristic of profess sional people generally than of busi ness people.
