Chan,p ionino the Worm.

An incident that occurred some years
ago during a session Of the British
parliament furnished an amusing IL
lustration Of the power of satire to
bring about results that sober argu-
ment often fails to accomplish.
There had been introduced bill de-
signed to prevent cruelty to wild ami
mails IN captivity. 1t was opposed on
the ground that, If passed, it would
endanger certain kinds Of legitimate
sport.
When the Earl Of Kimberley arose
he gravely admitted the force Of this
argument.
"There can be no doubt" said he,
that the bill would put an end to fish
ing with worms as bait. 1t is bill to
prevent cruelty to wild animals in
captivity. The schedule states that
the word animal shall be held to in
clude reptile. A worm may be held to
be a reptile. A worm impaled on a
hook must certainly be held to be In
captivity; therefore the angler who
uses a live worm for bait would be
guilty of cruelty to an animal in cap
tivity."
The laugh that followed at the ex-
pense Of those against the bill robbed
the opposition of whatever force 1t had
and carried the measure to a sue
cessful straightforward Commercial
Tribune.

Sun Cookinq.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 300 years. There are
sun stoves that roast sirloin or boil
soup to perfection. They are only
used, however, by scientists. A sun
stove consists mainly Of mirror-a
spherical mirr0r-on joint. There Is
also reflector. The place for pot or
plate is so situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused on it accurately.
A German. Baron Tcherhausen. was
the first sun cook. He began In 1887 to
boil water. and in 1858 he had very
good success in boiling eggs Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cooks have
boiled gallon of water In twenty
minutes, roasted meat in two hours
and poachcd eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that it has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
of a plate Of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves
the sheet of yellow glass aggression

A new RAILROAD

The prospect for railroad from
Moorefeld to Covington, Va, seems
frightening every day. This is the
most inviting route in the United
States for a thorough line from the
Central North to the South, say
from Pittsburg to New Orleans,
and we have often called attention
to it. We trust the line may be
built speedily. Think of three
small SUBMITS only, and not a
mountain intervening between
Cumberland, Nd, and New Or
leans. 1t makes one wonder if rail-
road builders have been blind. We
learn that the charter for the West
Virginia part has already been
granted and that surveying corps
are now at work. This will prove
the Iron Railway" of the United
States, if built. = Stanton Specta-
tor.
We are pleased to note the Drlgnt
future which the Spectator predicts
for our new road. 1t is in error,
however, as to the terminus and
starting point. The promoters have
from the very start of the enter
prise mentioned Keyser, on the B.
& o., and Clifton Forge, on the c.
& O. AS to the extension of the
road, North and South, the theory
of our brot her may be correct, and
his contention that the eyes of rail-
road builders will be fully opened
may come to pass, but the present
purpose is glory eaough Tor High
land at this time.

RAN SUBMARINE IN STORM

Ensign Kenneth Whiting, who
recently startled the naval authori-
ties by allowing himself to be shot
out from the torpedo gun of a sub
merged submarine, has accomplish
ed another daring feat by taking a
submarine successfully through a
tornado raging between Olongapo
and Cavite. The sea ran mountain
high, making navigation almost i'm
possible, but Ensign Whiting prov
ed that a submarine raining SUBJ
merged through the storm could
weather it as easily as if a smooth
sea had been running. Reports OF
Ensign Writings latest experiment
have reached naval officers here
and give promise of still further re-
markable demonstrations with the
submarine type of craft.
Ensign Whiting, commanding
the submarine Porpoise, and En-
sign Theodore G. Ellyson, COM
handing the submarine Shark, left
Olongapo for Cavite several weeks
ago to demonstrate how easily the
run could be made. When they saw
the typhoon coming ON both Whit
ing and Ellyson decided it would
be good plan to run through it
submerged. Their men were will
ing and the little craft was let down
so that only the thin fagstaffs pro-
truded above the water. They re-
NAMED submerged until the storm
had blown over, when the subma-
rines arose to the surface after be-
ing thrown about like eggs in the
subsurface swell, but remaining
unhurt.
Whiting and Ellyson were mess
mates at Annapolis and have been
together since they left the Naval
Academy.

a Shocked Scot.

The London Chronicle says that two
Englishmen recently touring In Scot
land found that Standardization occa-
sionally extends to the middle OF the
week. They were forced by the wealth
err to take refuge in small country
hotel and after lunch adjourned to tho
billiard room to kill time until the rain
stopped. The game had hardly started
when the landlord entered In very
drunken condition, upbraided his Wis
itors for their unseemly conduct and
insisted on their leaving the billiard
room. They received profuse apollo
giles from the landlady. Her husband
always got drunk on Sundays, she
explained, but, mistaking the day. he
had got drunk on Thursday instead,
and from force Of habit. believing 1t
was Sunday, had been shocked at the
click of the billiard balls.

All His Own.

A young man and his sweetheart

The young man was rather OF q

attention to this same young woman

important question.
On this particular night, however,

her how she thought he was progress

Just Pleasantness.

Perhaps just pleasantness has not a
very heroic sound, but the human
heart that. knowing its own bitterness,
can yet carry itself cheerfully is not
without heroism. Indeed, II that hui
man heart does no more than hold
its tongue about its own aches and
pains 1t has certain moral value that
the world cannot afford to lose. "Pleas-
antness" does not sound as well as
self sacrifice or wisdom or spiritual
ity, but 1t may include all these great
words. And certainly just to start
ones husband out to his work cheer
lily, to make the hobbledehoy Of a son
feel a gentler and sweeter sentiment
toward women because Of his own
mothers sound, sweet gayety and
strength, to help ones servants to put
good humor and friendliness into their
services-these things make for right
eousness in the world.-Margaret De-

i;obt and Dark Cigars.

A striking example Of the ordinary
smokers ignorance on the subject OF
smokes is the popular superstition that
a dark looking cigar is stronger than
lighter colored one. Some strong cigars
have dark wrappers, but the dark
wrapper does not by any means indi-
cate strong cigar Dark, gummy to-
bacco, IL thoroughly cured, Is the mild
est form. OF course If dark tobacco Is
not thoroughly cured it will be strong.
but so will light tobacco, for that mat
ter. Any cigar man will bet you that
the dark color is usually, though not
always, a sign Of ripe, well cured
leaf, which is therefore milder nine
times out Of ten than the lighter hued
leaf. But when it Is known that every
manufacturer makes both dark and
light cigars and that he uses exactly
the same blend Of filler In both and
that the wrapper only constitutes a
small fractional part Of the cigar 1t Is
clearly seen that the shade OF the
wrapper has little to do with the
strength of the cigar. Ask the dealer
for a strong cigar. He hands out a
dark one, and the imagination does
the rest.-Harper's Weekly.

NOT THE USUAL ROMANCE

Recently one of our most fastidl-
Gus young men bought a pair OF
over-alls and found in them the
name of the sewing girl who made
them.
He very promptly wrote her a
letter with all the effusiveness nee
essary in such a case, and in due
time received reply, which, how
ever, was void of the romance usual
in such cases. Here it is: II am
a working girl, it is true, but |
make a good living and do not care
to support a husband, as | would
have to do if | married some silly
noodle who gets mashed on girl

I1lSlldnuclo Hd'O DCOH o. oi'0H
disappointed in the matter OF
railroad that it is very hard to sub
stitute the word "when" for "if"
in speaking of the road now assur-
ed. That the matter has passed
the range of probabilities we are
confident in our mind, and purpose
so to view it. While there is many
"slip" in matters of such magni-
tude, it is fair to the promoters to
accord them confidence, and, after
all, there is a measure of satisfac-
ton to be had in anticipating that
which is really desirable, and it
compensates, to some extent, IN the
event of disappointment.
1t may be cited, as coincidence,
that in every disappointment that
has come to Highland, along this
line. Pocahontas has shared all
previous schemes being for road
east and west = but that county
finally got road north and south.
Why not Highland? Doubters tell
us that Pocahontas chad some
thing to bring a road" We are
informed by those who claim to
know, that our mountains have the
magnet of sufficient drawing power
hidden away in their bowels, and
that our wealth of ore is almost in
exhaustible. TO fear that good
things will not come because they
never have come is childish and
void of intelligence.
Lack of faith is a natural result
of repeated disappolntments, and
men brosd ovel such disappoint-
ments Tfftil seething fame of tan
gible, "hot stuff is required to
make their enthusiasm bubble.
Then, too, there is the fear of being
termed "gullible, " in the event of
another unsuccessful issue, and
they withhold a helpful and en-
couraging assent and confidence
rather than lay themselves open to
the charge of being easy" There
are many of this class, and they
are apparently so unconcerned and
Indifferent that their attitude is
construed as one of opposition.
When it comes to real opposition
to the enterprise, it is safe to assert
that the number actually opposed
to a railroad can be counted twice
on the fingers of one hand, and
about this number is found in every
section where like enterprise is I'M
dertaken, and their attitude is
neither a surprise nor a hindrance.
When capitalists really make up
their minds to build a railroad,
they do it regardless of the attitude
of those along the line, but it is &C
knowledged by all who have watch
ed such developments and situa-
tons that a course of opposition
and stubborness is the sheerest folly
on the part of the citizen.
The meaning suggested by our
proposed slogan-"Clear the track!
docs not imply or hint at mater
ial loss or serious inconvenience to
any one, but, in a spirit of fairness
and sound business judgment, to
take in the whole situation, remem-
bering to look to the rights and
good of others while you watch
your own interests. The fellow
from whom a right-of-way is asked
will generally fare better at the
hands Of the company, kindly and
gentlemanly treated than at the
court Of last resort, and it holds
good in all matters pertaining to
the subject where concessions must
be made and asked for.
