the holder is so hinged that it fol-
lows the movement of the mop. Thus,
when the cleaner is swabbed over the
floor, this section of the apparatus
holds it fiat and permits it to be used
with much more effectiveness than
when it is necessary to poke it about
in a lump. The upper end of the
cloth is attached to a beveled gear,
which is operated by a crank. When
the mop is to be wrung out, the crank
is turned and the gear twists the cloth
tightly. A thumb screw lock on the
crank shaft prevents the crank from
turning at other times. This cleaner
is useful not only on floors but oE

Stepmother of Mint JuIep.

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home of the mint julep, and It's
colonels have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
1t transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
Of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,32O
juleps. This amount includes the mar
keted product only, no account having
been taken Of the countless thousands
of juleps which were compounded dur
ing the year with a base of the undi-
luted, moonshine whisky that never
paid a cent Of tax.-St Louis Star.

vERAcITY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
Skeptic Must Be Con-
Vinced

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
US today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them,
as furnished US In the pages OF the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and it is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
identity. so exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment Of the buildings. the very arti.
cles Of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings Of today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth Of the Saviour. Be-
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible Of localities, climatic and geo.
graphical conditions, distances, ETC.,
of these times and those Of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord Of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
| it comes as a wonderful conviction
a satisfactory corroboration or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago-Columbiar

What to do with the convict in
order that he may be employed yet
not interfere with the activities of
workmen on the outside is still an
unsettled problem. The labor
unions are offended when the state
enters into competition with them
through its prisoners, overlooking the
righteousness of the assumption that
so small a proportion of the working
population of the country as may be
found in penal institutions could.
under the mos favorable conditions,
manufacture a sufficient quantity of
goods to make much difference to
them. In many institutions, how
ever, no effort is made to keep the
prisoners employed on any form of
labor much more competitive than
breaking stone, trade which up to
the present has not become highly
organized. The State of Minnesota
has solved the problem to the salts
faction of the farmers, at least, by
keeping many of the convicts engag-
ed in the manufacture of binding
twine, with the result that that par
ticular commodity is unquestionably
lower in price in Minnesota. Just
in what manner peace has been made
by the State authorities with the
labor unions is not divulged but the
probabilities are that agriculture is
so overwhelmingly predominant in
the State as to make the good will
of the farmers more to be desired
than that of any other class. Bind
ing twine, too, is product that is
by the farmers believed to be espec-
tally subject to the will of the
trusts, and this may have its influence
in making the States policy in the
matter possible. In the South the
tendency toward the abolition of con.
vict leases makes necessary the dis
covery of some other method of en-
plOyment for the inmates of the in
stitutions, both for economic reason
and because the refinement of cruelt,
incident to unemployed confinement
is a relic of barbarism. A new bill
signed by the Governor of Texa
provides for the abolition of tn
leasing of State convicts to con
tractors and for their employmen
on farms owned by the State. A
result some thirty thousand acre
of land will be added to the twenty
six thousand now owned by the State
and as the contracts of the tw
thousand convicts expire the me
will be set to work at agriculture
1t is hardly probable that the farr
ers will file such a protest as woul
probably result if the men were en-
ployed in some labor the workers
which were largely unionized, and
would be difficult to imagine any o.
cupatien more likely to prove BEN
iieial to the men themselves.
Texas finds this happy solution
the convict labor problem it wi
have set valuable example.-N. J
