Hoparth's Moving Pictures.

Hogarth was a great, good teacher,
and many a thoughtless man has been
cured of vice by gazing on the fearful
moving pictures in the "Rake's
Progress" and it's sinful companion
series. Some natural intellects are
able without any teaching to know
and shun deadly diseases and evils;
some are able to accept them from
vague and abstract warnings, bui
most can be made fearful or careful
of the duty which they owe them
selves or to- their fellows only by nor
cible examples. Yet the majority OF
men, taking them the world over.
are so brutally ignorant and selfish
and swinish that, despite all knowl'
edge by example or precept, they Will
deliberately wallow and wallow again
in deadly diseased mire. NeVertne'

Hope of ~Consumptives.

1t is not surprising that certain in
terests in the milk business would be
the first to find fault with the educa-
lion crusade against consumption that
Is now waging all ove C~hristendom.
Tip accepts it for a fine sign how well
the public is taking hold and getting
wise when a milkman arose in the
Associated Dairymen's convention in
Washington the other day and said
the crusade in Iowa State was not
only soaring some folk into consump-
ton, but was rapidly soaring con-
sumptives to death. According to
this speaker, the vivid and realistic
methods of showing up the disease
in Iowa had doubled the death rate
from the disease in n year. Rot!
Any one who knows much about con-
sumptives knows full we'll that most
of them-as an effect Of the disease
upon the brain-believe up to the
very moment of death that they have
some mild lung or bronchial trouble,
and that they will certainly get well,
and, while all consumptives are not
thus blinded, most of them are. The
,"spes phthisica," the hope of the con.
sumptive, Is inseparable from the dis
ease, and no amount of realistic OBJ
iect lessons is going to change this
fanciful state.-Tip, in the New York
Press.

Teaching "Touch Not"

Ricord Of Paris was one or the
greatest physicians and philosophers
who ever blessed humanity. Hunter
and he studied end uncovered and
made plain the mystery of a worse
catching disease than consumption
Ricord had thousands upon thousands
of cases, and this blessed old satanic
saint ofttimes said: That disease
and mans ]self-control getting rid OF
it was the true beginning and cause
of morality" If there is any truth
in his saying, then consider the awful,
the measureless responsibility OF
those teachers of the public who have
the true knowledge of vice and dis
ease, yet run a mere school of scandal
instead of teaching touch not and
a School of Penalties to the ignorant
and innocent.-TiD, in the New York
Press.

adapted for the ironing of skirts or
circular garments. 1t consists of two
supports hinged upon the stand so
that they fold in upon@ft. One of
these supports is in one piece and the
other, at the broad end Of the board,
is double. On this latter section, the
board move IN a pivot so that the
narrow end may be swung clear of
the single support and rest on the
double uprights. This leaves the end
of the board free and a skirt may be
drawn over it without wrinEling or
presenting otherdificulties to smooth
work. Iron rods hold the device
firmly in position when it is in use,
but when not in use it can be folded
into a small compass and slowed
away in a corner or a closet. 1t is
also constructed so that the bracing
means do not interfere with the work.

Why Protect the Bee Martin?

One of the protected birds is the
bee martin, or kingbird. Bee raisers
are at a loss to understand why 1t
should be protected in a bee country,
because it makes terrific inroads on
the swarms.. Captain Dixon, of
Flushing, lives next to a mai who has
a hive Of bees. He told Tip recently
of the work of one martin. The cap
tain, who was sitting on his side
porch, noticed that the bees seemed
unduly excited. Suddenly a bee mar
tin swooped down, caught one of the
little honey-makers, few to a neigh
boring telephone pole and ate it.
That was repeated many times, the
captain keeping tabs. The count
showed that in the course OF n
short afternoon the martin caught
and ate more than fifty Of the bees

the base, the soaped pieces are spread
thereon when, with the addition OF
an inch or two or boiling water, the
segmental rubber is oscillated back

This action forces the water and soap

the interstices Of the goods. 1t is
said to be especially serviceable in
large pieces such as blankets, cur

ditions in and Around Apia.
DR.. Hans Busing, a German lawyer
who went to Apia, Samoa, about
eight months ago to practice his pro-
session, reached New York recently
IN his way back to Germany. DR..
Busing, who bears several scars as
souvenirs of his university days, says
hat life out there is rather dull, but
after a little vacation at home he is
going back.
There hasn't been any trouble in
Samoa for about a year and a half"
said DR.. Busing at the Gotham yes
.erday. THAT was when some of the
chiefs had started an uprising and
several German war vessels came
over from China and the chiefs in
question were taken away to the
Marshall Islands.
King Mata'afa is still living in
Apia. He has a sort of court about
nim-secretaries and attendants-in
what is called out Of courtesy a pal
ace. He appears to be about seventy
years old and give the impression Of
great nobility of character. He Is
much honored by our Government.
I do not expect any trouble to arise
in Samoa in the future, but If 1t ever
does come it will be when Mata'afa
dies. The natives acknowledge him
as king and have the utmost respect
tor him. His death will be a serious
matter.
"A great many Australians and
New Zealanders are coming into
Samoa, as well as Germans, both as
! traders and planters, the majority
taking up cocoa planting. This has
proved very profitable so far, most of
the product being shipped to Aus
tralia, though a good deal goes to
Germany. At the same time, in spite
of the influx of white men, I should
say there are not more, than 800 of
them in Apia and vicinity, and in
German Samoa not more than 500 at
the outside. There are about $4,000
natives. There r too many little
shops in Apia to make stcre-keeping
very profitable.
Life in Samoa Is far from exciting
hardly interesting. There are nc
bands, no entertainments or games,
and the principal amusement and
recreation is in horseback riding,
There is now no passenger line by
which you can come from Samoa di.
rect to the United States. There Is
one American cargo line that makes
a stop at Apia On the way to Aus
tra.ia, but it does not stop on the
way back. To get here I had to take
a boat for the Fiji Islands, and I had
to stop at Suva for a whole week be-
fore I could take a Union liner fol
Vancouver and thence 60 to Sar
Francisco by train. There is no Ger
mar steamship line that carries pas
sengers running out there. o.
course the climate is n of the most
delightful you car find anywhere, but
when you are out there you feel as
if you are very much off the beaten
path of travel"

The United States district court yes
terday gave judgment for $4,000 against
A w Boggs. the contractor for the
buildings at the Rice Station Indian
school in Arizona, which burned down
before they had been accepted by the
government.
The building had been offered to the
government for acceptance and partial
payment had been made on the con
tract price of $12,OOO>when it was dis
covered that they were not built in
compliance with the specifications
While the contractor was making the
alterations required the buildings
caught fire in some inexplicable way
and were destroyed. AS Bosgs had
given bond for the completion of the
buildings when awarded the contract
the government brought suit for the
recovery of the payment made on the
buildings.
