hin that he wants Congress to pass
before it adjourns. The bill gives the
postmaster general right to use aero
planes in carrying mail throughout
the country Representative sheppard
is anxious THAT Congress give the
postmaster general sum of money
to purchase acropianes. secure men to
operate them and carry on a general
school Of education for mail carriers.
His idea is 10 use the aeroplanes for
first class mail matter, and he insists
that the public will demand quicker
TRANSFORMATION of mail in short time
and that the postoffice department
should have men trained TO operate
air machines to meet the demand.

Fish EATING Ponies.

THE Shetland peasants, as soon as
the cold comes on, turn their ponies
out to shift for themselves" said a
horse dealer. "On those high. rocky,
barren islands, amid the powerful and
cold winds of winter, the ponies live
on heather and seaweed, and it is indu-
bitable that in their hunger they even
scour the wild coast for dead fish. 1t
Is this life of exposure that gives the
Shetland pony his shaggy coat. What
gives him his kind and gentle dis
position is the fact that he is brought
up with the dogs and children-one
might almost say in the house."

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
II of yourself.

Think well Of yourself.
If you do not others will not think
well of you. because one is accepted
largely at ones own estimate o., one
self.
/ have read somewhere that the man
who does not think well Of himself
and is not good to himself blasp1emes
the God who made him and pro-
nounced him good.
But the main reason for thinking
well OF yourself is to be found in this
Bible truth:
'As o man thinketh in his heart SO
is he"
If you think yourself WORTHY you
will try to be worthy; If you think you
do not amount to much you will not
amount to much: IL you think yourself
capable of doing things you win do

Somehow the mysterious life proc
esses of mind and body tend to repro
duce in your mind and body what you
think.

tiny. II he had not so believed there

low estimate on himself, always be

yourself and cheat your future as to
mistrust and cheat your neighber.

BANK CHECKS.
The Part They Play In the Payment q
q Debt.

. Debt.
A young man had kept In bis pos
session for several days q check from
his uncle. His uncle died, aud be
FASTENED to the bank to cash the
check. When he found the bank would
not pay the check until it had orders
from the heirs or from the courts he
was surprised and observed to his ia
Their that he thought Of check as be-
ing so much money if the signature
was good.
As matter Of fact. however, a
check is merely an order from A. to
B., who holds some Of As money. to
pay certain amount thereof to G.
1t is not money. even If the names on
the check are good and well known
and the bank is solid as the govern
ment. Although checks are given in
payment Of debt and a receipt usually
is signed on the spot. yet the passing
of check does not constitute pay
ment of Indebtedness until it is paid
by the bank.
Nor will the concurrent receipting OF
the debt for which 1t is given change
this. If the check is not paid on pres
entation to the bank the original claim
stands against the drawer or giver Of
the check. But certified check con-
stitutes payment on the part of the
person who draws it.
Checks may be antedated or post
! dated-that is, dated before or after
the date Of delivery. If postdated
checks are paid before the day speci-
| fed the drawer can recover the mon

cordance with any order from him.

Wood Pulp.

Observation of nature has often sug-

years ago James g. Blaine said to DR..
Hill that there was rapidly dimin-

papermaking. That set DR.. Hill think

Of q paper manufacturer holding q

MODERN METHODS

St. Petersburg. October 1-(Special.)- The Russian mujik. who still follows. for the most part, the immemorial customs in his agricultural methods is to be taught how to make more out of his land. In stead of the three field system.' which is, or. until M. Stolypin's great reform, was practically universal on peasant holdings, the best and most modern meth ods are to be brought to his notice. Every province will be divided into dis tricts. each in command of trained agricultural expert. an 'agronome." with a staff of assistants It will be their duty to find out what Is most suitable to be done in their particular district. to instruct the peasantry by precept and example-the latter by running model peasant farms on the improved methods and, above all, to serve as feelers, for the central government in It's endeavors to give agriculture that importance which is its due in an agricultural country like Russia.

blood Is equal to that in the compressed air. If a workman is taken suddenly from this high pressure the gas is liber- ated in the blood in the form of nitro gen bubbles. This frothing of the blood when workmen pass into the outer air sometimes causes them to fall uncon- scious. Blood sometimes runs from their eyes, ears and noses. The victims feel. in their muscles and joints, severe pains which they call bends It Is due to the peculiarities of the employment. It is an occupational disease.
 Experiments show that when workmen are obliged to go into and come out of the caisson through an intermediary chamber called an lair lock'-by means of which the pressure of the confined air Is slowly raised or lowered-the danger of disease is greatly diminished. If the time limit for .'locking' men through this air chamber Is carefully regulated, much suffering is prevented.
 Tests have been made of the effects of shifts of one-half hour. one hour, four hours, and so forth. Men who can work two hours without apparent injury in air of given density suffer severely If required to work four hours.
 The association for labor legislation has stimulated investigation of this sub ject And in New York state we now have legis Jtion for the careful regulation of wor in compressed air. In an intellt- ger ~ scientific way, we are attempting to minimize this occupational disease

 When the island of Manhattan became too small for New York city, and Brook 1yn bridge challenged the admiration of the world, our attention was drawn to a new disease
 Men who dig deep into river beds to build the supports for great bridges do their work in closed iron cylinders, or caissons, into which compressed air Is forced to prevent water from running in as dirt and gravel are carried out. This means the increase of the ordinary at mospheric pressure by three, four and even five times. But we all do better work under great pressure, and the men wroking in caissons are not exceptions. They perspire freely, and down at the bottom of closed tube, 100 feet below the surface of the river they work with more than usual energy. The trouble comes when they pass quickly from this caisson into the normal atmosphere above.
 When the men pass into the area of compression the blood absorbs the gases of the air until their tension in the

In a few instances there is legislation designed to protect weavers from the effects of excessive moisture. In several countries and states a minimum standard of purity is estab- lished for the air in certain trades. The problem of over fatigue. however, is the most complicated of all.

The International Association for Labor Legislation asked the Swiss federal council to take the initiative In calling an international conference to forbid. by agreement, the use of white phosphorus in the manufacture or matches. Nine countries have signed the treaty prohibiting its use. This treaty at once disclosed the extraordinary im- portance of tho agitation and the prac- tical effectiveness of international asso- citation and brightened the prospects for scientific labor laws.
 Although the leading countries of Europe already prohibit the manufac- ture, importation and sale of matches made from poisonous phosphorus. few countries have resisted on account of their export trade. The United States cannot offer this selfish excuse. since her export trade in matches Is trining. The United States can well afford to join the more progressive countries and ab olish this occupational disease.
 But the problem of fixing standards is much more difficult in those employ ments where no satisfactory substi- tutes for industrial poisons have been found. This Is notably true with re- spect to workers in lead. In 1909, in
 spite of our inadequate registration oI | occupations in mortality statistics, 3; deaths were reported in New York alone as due to lead poisoning. But the number of deaths reported is nc sufficient criterion for Judgment con.
