A PENNY's WORTH OF ENERGY.

There are few things still cheaper
than dirt and from recent representa-
tons electrical energy is one of them
A man who knows his electricity from
watt to work has this to say in Harp
a cent He says one cents worth of
coffee. or cook a steak, or boil two
quarts Of water or make a Welsh
rarebit, or operate a seven-inch fry
ing pan for II minutes, or an electric
grfddle for eight minutes, or an cleo
trio broiler for six minutes, or run a
sewing machine for thSee hours. or an
electric flatiron for Is minutes, or
luminous radiator for eight minutes,
or a foot warmer for Is minutes, or
massage machine for four hours, or a
curling-iron once a day for two weeks
or a DENTISTS drill for an hour and
an half, or an electric piano player for
an hour, or vulcanize a patch on an
automobile tire, keep a big glue pot
hot for an hour, or brand electrically
$50 hams, or raise a. passenger eleva-
tor five stories a minute, or raise $50
gallons of water $50 feet high, or raise
ten tons twelve feet high in less than
one minute
1t is pleasant to think that one pen
NY will do all this. but since the cost
of the equipment necessary to do such
wonders with a cent is not stated. we
cannot figure out how much benefit
this is to the men who work for $40

RUSSIA BECOMING ALARMED.

There appears to be no doubt that
Russian tyranny is about to be
brought TO a close so far as invasion
q the Monaghan nations is concerned.
II comes to light that Russia is much
worried today over the prospects of a
Esr with China A despatch from St
Petersburg on Monday said
Russian officials say that China is
srming against Russia, and profess
to believe that war is possible within
a decade Aisrm against the Chinese
has replaced the expectation of a re-
reTzl OF the war between Russia and
Japan which few months ago created
a veritabls panic among the military
authorities The Novoe Vremya and
other newspapers which at that time
predicted war in the spring are now
campai gning against China They call
attention to a series of economic meas
ures undertaken by the Chinese gov
eminent. the result of which will be
forcing Russians out Of Manchuria-"
While this matter is not taken seri-
ouslv at Washington, everything
points to the military development of
China along the same lines which have
given japan recognition as one of the
most warlike nations of the age. Rus
sia's days Of conquest and tyranny are
being brought TO q close by a course

STRANGE Force of Habit.

The force of habit in human beings
is well known, but it is hardly prob
able that there has ever been a rarer
exhibition of that trait than in a. re-
cent remarkable occurrence in Pitts
burg A Pittsburg physician, while
hurrying along a street In that city, re-
turning to his Office from q profession
al call was startled by warning cry
from above, Look out belowi" Before
he could realize what was happening
the body of a man falling from above
crushed him to the pavement.
The bystanders, who expected that
both the falling man and the physician
had been instantly killed, were as
founded to see the doctor struggle to his
knees in an instant in a dazed sort of
way, and, seeing the PROSTATE man be-
side him, took out his medical case and
endeavored TO administer to his I'M
cons cious neighbor. 1t was clearly a
subconscious effort, as the unfortunate
physician speedily collapsed, and it was
found that ne had been paralyZed by
the shock.
The man who fell from above was a
painter, and when he realized he was
falling he gave the warning cry Look
out below!" as he probably would have
done had he dropped a brush or thrown
some other article to the ground. show
ing that in his case also habit was
strong, even in a moTnent of terrible
agony, when he realized that he him
self was falling to a certain death be-

TAFT SEEKS PARTY HARMONY.
SPIRIT OF CANCELLATION FELT
IN WASHINGTON.
Presidents AdmOnitiOn to Republi-
cans i'm Congress to Quit Quarrel
ing and Go to Work Appears to
Have Been Heedcd-Insurgents
May Fight Speaker, Eut Not Party
Measures.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Following
President Taft's advice to the Re-
publicans in Congress yesterday to
stop quarreling and get down to the
party legislative programme as
quickly as possible" there were con-
crete evidences today Of a definite at
tempt to bring the warning factions
together upon some basis of at least
temporary understanding. There
seemed for the first time this season
to be spirit of conciliation in the
air and decidedly less of the bitter
ness Of the past few weeks.
President Taft let it be known that
he still considers all Of the insurgents
as Republicans. Speaker Cannon an
nounced that all Republicans would
be invited to the caucus on naming
the Ballinger-Pinchot committee next
week and he hoped all would attend.
Representatives Hayes, of California,
one Of the leading insurgents made
two trips to the White House as a
result Of which he announced that
attempts to adjust matters were un-
der way.
In his talks with Representative
Hayes and other callers today the
President said that he was not with
holding patronage from any Repub-
lican Senator or member of Congress
because of votes cast against Speaker
Cannon, against the rules Of the
House or against the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill.
If, however, there are any among
the insurgents who intend to carry
their fight against the Speaker and
against the rules to the extent Of op-
posing purely Administration and
party measures, to which the party is
pledged, the President will no longer
regard them as Republicans, but as
having clearly arrayed themselves
against the party. Under these cir
cumstances he declares, he would not
be justified in recognizing any claims
for patronage from Senators and
Representatives, who would use the
very patronages given them as am
mun!tion against the party.
Mr.. Taft is said to be satisfied with
the way matters are progressing and
he has received many personal assur-
ances that most Of the so-called in
surgents will support the Administra-
ton measures.
