Mr. Shorter quotes in 1.-The Sphere" this
pleasant piece OF current news:
At Shap. WestmoreIand. yesterday, Charles
Southey, of the late vicar of Askham and
grandson of the poet, Robert Southey, sent to
gaol for week for begging at Patterdale Hall on
Sunday night He told the bench pathetic story
His father. he said, gave him good education,
but no trade. he took up literature. He got
married and had comfortable home. but his wife
left him years ago and he had to sell his home
Afterward he stole half a sovereign for which he

him. i have not known what it is to have =
proper meal for long time added the prisoner
but have had to subsist at the best Of times on
fish and chips in common lodging houses
The man may of course be impostor-or
he may not be. Here are Mr. Shorter's COM
mentS:
If this really be a grandson of the author of the
o Mary. the Maid of the Inn" and much that
is still alive in literature, what abundance ot
pathos there is in the story. one would like TO
see something done to place Mr. Charles S0uthcy
in a solid position than he seems to have en-
jOyed for many years. The student Of literary
that characterized the Grandfather's later years;
his loathing Of Byron: his contempt for Shelley as
a subverter of all valuable institutions

Timber Decay Costs Millions.

Millions of feet of timber and finish
ed lumber rot every year in railroad
ties, bridges, trestles, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles, and mine
props. The lumber consuming public
of the United States pays perhaps
thirty to forty million dollars a year
to make good the losses from wood
decay.
These great drains are source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The U.
S. Forest Service has men who devote
their whole time to it. The import
ance of the problem can not be over
estimated. Millions of dollars are
annually saved by preservative treat
ment of timbers, but much yet re-
mains to be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus,
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the
microscope. It's roots or branches,
like minute hairs, force their way into
the wood tissues and absorb or eat
away the solid parts. The collapse
which results is called decay. Timber
is artificially preserved by forcing in
to its cells and pores certain sub
stances which prevent the growth of
fungi. AS long as this substance is
present in sufficient quantity, the
germs of decay-the threads and
spores of fungus-can not enter, and
the wood is preserved. This often
means doubling and sometimes trebl-
ing the life of the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the Investigations of the pre-
servative treatment of timber of such
Importance that the business of one
Office of the United States Forest
Service, that of Wood Preservation,
with new headquarters at Madison,
Wis, is given over entirely to the
work of experiments in cooperation
with railroad companies and other
corporations and individuals in pro-
longing the life of railroad ties, mine
props, bridge timbers, fence posts and
transmission poles.
The lengthening of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of material for renewals.

Golf the coquette of Games.

A game which takes four miles of
country for the playing must always
have majesty Of it's own. 1t is sure
" a great testimony to the qualities
of a game when a man can be both
enthusiastic and inefficient. It is a
proof at least that man plays for
the games sake and not for personal
kudos. Golf is the coquette of games.
It always lures one on and always
evades one. Ten years ago I thought
had nearly got it. I think so today.
And ten years hence I may still have
the same delusion. But my scoring
cards will show, I fear, that the CO.
quette has not yet been caught. The

Trigger Fish.

The curiously named trigger fish,
are plentiful in japanese waters. They
are of the balistes genus, and their
popular name is derived from the trig-
ger-like popularity of the second spine
Of the dorsal fin. When the fin is erect
ed the first ray, or spine, which is very
thick and strong maintains it's elevated
position so firmly that it cannot be
pressed down by any degree of force,
but if the second spine is pressed the
first Immediately falls down with a
spring, like the hammer of gun lock
when the trigger is pulled. These fish
are marked in a striking manner, some
of them being very richly colored-ash-
en- gray, blue and gold.-London Fam

Pole Versus Equator.

Unquestionably the polar circle is
steadily advancing toward the equator.
From the time when the earth first
took form and began it's existence as
a planet it has been slowly but surely
cooling off, and it is as certain as any,
thing in mathematics that some time
in the future the earth will be quite
cold and barren Of every form of life.
The polar regions will continue ap-
preaching each other, and before them
the various living forms, animal and
vegeta BILE, will retreat until finally the
only home Of life will be narrow belt
at the equator, which itself will at last
surrender to the cold, and the earth
will be .a.stdead one."-New York

Java Breadfruit.

Jack trees, another name for bread
fruit, grow wild in Java. The, trees
are very straight and have trunks ris-
ing to nearly fifty feet. The fruit is
thirty inches long and twelve inches
broad, the weight often reaching 120
pounds. The flesh of the fruit is de-
licious, and the oily seeds are eaten
roasted. The wood is beautiful yell
low in color and is hard enough to be
used for furniture and cabinet work.
When struck it gives very clear note;
hence bells are made of it, and pieces
of the wood are also used by watch
men on mountains for giving signals.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Morris People Have
Done So.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Sick
kidneys expel dark, ill-smelling ur-
ine,, full of 'brick DUST sediment
and painful in passage. Sluggish kid
neys cause dull pain in the small
OF the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
ly rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they cure sick kidneys,
and rid the blood of uric poison. If
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
