Bishop Burgess of Long Island says that ''our Sunday laws need restate- ment" We no longer. he adds, Hook at exercise or recreation as wrong up on Sunday. nor do we constantly talk about the Sabbath: we realize it is not an unholy sight to see a lot of young men playing ball on a Sunday afternoon or riding or strolling in the parks The day Christ rose from the dead is the happiest day in the week and we clergy must know that we shall not secure a large attendance al church because we try to take from the day all it's joys and brightness But none the less I believe that while the church may we'll approve of the opening of museums libraries and the increased facilities for travel on the Lords Day, yet it will not approve oi the opening of theaters or exhibition ball games or the saloons

Tn a speech before the General Fed eration of Women's Club at Cincinnati recently, Representative Ransdell of Louisiana said:
 It is fortunate for the country that our women are taking a serious. earn est interest in the improvement of waterways as the best regulators of railroad rates. This is especially ap- propriate, for women are the home makers. and every article in the home from the building material used in con- structing it to the food and fuel for family consumption is materially af- fected by transportation charges.
 Railroads are monopolistic corpora tions, owned, operated. and controlled any given line is impossible because the road bed belongs to the corpora toin Railroads are very limited in capacity and there is frequently fierce congestion on them- On well inn proved waters such as Chesapeake Ohio, and lower Mississippi rivers, there is practically no limit to the volume of business that may be car ried and no danger of congestion.
 It is certainly very unjust for the government to improve navigable wa teTs unless they can be used by all the people, and in my opinion Congress should require as a condition precedent to an appropriation. for the improve lment of any river or harbor that the State or community in interest should acquire and hold for common use suf- Gcent water front and provide there on, modern. convenient terminals. In cases where the water front has al- ready been acquired by private par ties, I would suggest that the public resume ownership through condemna- ton proceeding under the power of eminent domain. for surely the good of the community is superior to the right of any private person or corpora ton.

The Threat.

The Bingses, mother and daughter,

evinced no sign Of going away, nor did
the mother seem to be in any way af-

the overtaxed hostess threw out from
time to time. Finally. forbearance
exhausted the entertainer decided to
reach the mother through her daugh-
ter. SO one day, calling the little Wis
itor to her, she said: Mamie, when do
you expect to go homer"
"Oh, I'm sure l don't know" was
the carless reply. We've several other
places to stop yet.

Cant even tell THAT. Mama says
It's immaterial to her just when she'll
leave here"
but my dear child, exclaimed the
exaSperated hostess, doesn't your
mother realize how high living is these
days?"
"Oh yes; she knows how high it is
That's why We left the city,

arc manufactured in a little factory,

production of the artificial ruby Is
said by some enthusiasts to have made
inevitable the doom of the ruby mdne.
These artificial ruby gems are in

durability and chemical composition
identical with the natural ruby of the
mine. So absolute is this identity
that. the assertion is made, the usurers
OF great cities now refuse to take ru-
bies in pawn because they cannot dis
tinguish between natural rubies and
the artificial. Their use in jewelry is

The Social Breakfast.

A London newspaper wonders why
we no longer invite people to break
fast. The reason is to be found in the
state of mind that usually possesses
the free and independent citizen at
that hour In the morning. state Of
mind that makes him unbearable to
himself and to every one who comes
near him. Presumably 1t was not ever
so, for invitations to breakfast were
once common enough, and not so long
ago either. Mr.. Gladstone used to
have guests to breakfast every Thurs
day morning as recently as 1884, and
1t was thought sufficient to supply tea
and coffee, eggs. bread and butter and
perhaps some cold meat. But the
really solid breakfast hnd come into
fashion long before then, and it is
said that the English learned the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley. when he
was ambassador to England. found
that the substantial breakfast was
grievousy opposed to the simpler GUS
toms of his own country. He says.

is by long odds the costliest and most
elaborate public timepiece ever con-
structed and is the only great clock in
the world operated wholly by electric
ity without the touch of human hands.
Some of its other wonders are Its size.
being the largest four dial tower clock
and the third largest clock Of any size
In the world, and Its altitude, which
is the highest of any clock In the
world. 1t has also the biggest and
heaviest striking bell.
The other three largest clocks are
