An International Question.

There is a little matter which has evidently escaped the notice of our ambassador to England. A short time ago MT. Harry Payne Whitney, with a party of guests, spent s50.O00 for a single days shooting upon the -Hel- wick Hall moor at Upper Teesdale, and a number of the London newspa- pers criticized the proceedings as not worth while.
 Our ambassador should insist upon more respectful treatment of Ameri- can citizens. If this money had been contributed by Englishmen there might possibly have been some basiY of criticism. but the affair is entirely our own. We have the right to give our millionaires. young or old. what ever income we please. and. of course. after we give it to them, 1t is their duty to spend 1t in a way to reflect the most credit upon the finan. :ial condition of our country.-Life.

Nlce,s Pumpkln Festival.

The pumpkin festival at Nice is one of those old-world customs rescued by popular sentiment from gradual de cay that was hastening toward obliv- vion. It is a celebration singularly unique, in that the widest exuberance of spirit alternates with serious reli- gious ceremonies, representations of art, and prosaic business dealings-a celebration so quaint and so little like the usual productions of modern man kind that it leaves one with the i'm pression of having witnessed a scene idealized upon the stage rather than an actual festival of the present prac- tical age. Yet the pumpkin custom undoubtedly reflects the character and Individuality of its resuscitators, the inhabitants of Nice, whose deep reli- gious instincts, innate refinement of feeling and intense love of the beauti- full were the underlying forces which prompted them to revive time-hon- ored custom without the least trace of vulgar advertisement or sordid ma terialism to mar its perfect harmony Wide World Magazine.

EFFICIENCY IS REQUIRED.

The order signed by President Taft placing in the classified service assist ant postmasters and such clerks in certain classes of post offices as are not now within the civil service. does net take effect until December l. An important feature of the order Is that assistant postmasters who cannot ore. sent an efficiency record will not have the advantage of the order The off cial text of the order is as follows:
 Tt is hereby ordered that the posi- ton of assistant postmaster in post offices of the first and second classes and also the position of clerk, of what ever grade, in post offices of the first and second classes. not hitherto classi- fled, shall be included in the classified service. provided that no assistant postmaster or clerk appointed without examination prior to this examination shall be classified who fails to estab- Iish to the satisfaction of the post office department his capacity for eff cient service in the position held, and Schedule A of the civil service rules is hereby amended accordingly. This order shall take effect December 1 1910"

WANT U. s. TO BOOST GOOD ROADS

Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has received a petition signed by eight American delegates who attended the recent international road congress at Brussels requesting that his department consider the ad visibility of the. United States govern ment becoming a member of the Per manent International Association of Road Congresses. The office of pub lie roads is a part of the department of agriculture, and for this reason the matter was put up to the secretary for his consideration.
 The special significance of the peti. tion is that 1t discloses the fact that extensive system of roads of any country in the world, has been one of the three slowest nations to join the International Road association now formally adhered to by 26 govern ments. Italy and England are the only other large countries which have not joined.
 The nations of Europe have gone a long way ahead of the United States in road work, particularly in the mat ter of administration and road mainte- nance, and experts say that for this reason this country will benefit i'm mensely in the advantage of collabora- ton made possible by membership in the international congress. France, for instance, with its almost perfect system of roads, sends one and one third times as much freight over her public highways as is carried by the railroads. The freight traffic on the roads of other European countries is almost as heavy. In this country con- ditions are reversed and 1t is estima- ted that the railroads carry nearly four times as much freight as the pub lie roads. Yet railroad development depends. engineers say. on the good roads which open up and make acces- sible the country adjacent to the lines.
 The department Of agriculture now has the petition under consideration | and, if approval is given, congress will be asked this coming winter for the small appropriation necessary for this membership dues

MAN Vs. THE MOOSE
EXCITING ENCOUNTER ON THE
 HUDSON BAY HALLWAY LINE.
Adventure Is illustrative of the Fear less Daring of individuals Who Make Up the Far North Path
 finder Parties.

A letter from MT. Charles J. Bruce'
 one of the engineers laying out the line of the proposed Hudson Bay ran-
 way, contains the description or
 most exciting encounter between
 man and a moose, illustrative or the
 fearlessness of the individuals who
 make up these pathfinder parties ln
 the far north. There are three sur
 veying parties at work between the
 Pas and York factory, and the scenT
 described occurred on the NelsoN
 river. The country is sportsman paradise, literally swarming with
 game. The adventure in question oc-
 cured about the latter part of July and is told as follows:
 Yesterday afternoon Silent JACK Labelle and Scotty were exploring creek running into the bay in front of the camp. Padding around a point they came into little lake and in the middle of the lake young bull moose swimming across. They didn't have a gun, knife or weapon of any kind, but that didn't have any effect on Silent Jack. a Maniwab boy, by the way, and our head packer He wanted that moose, and he was go ing to get him. In spite of the fren- zied protests of 'Scotty,' who was sure he was going to be upset and drowned, Jack laid the canoe alongside of the moose and went for him with a pad dle The first blow sheared the moose's ear off as though it had been hA smashed the paddle to smithereens on it's horns. Nothing put out by this, Jack caught the horns and pulled the canoe on the animals neck, to try and keep its head under water ano drown 1t. But the moose was too strong. and it took some quick paddl. work from the now hysterical Scotty in the bow to keep from capsizing. The contestants were getting near the of losing the fresh meat for three days which that lively animal repre- sented, and regardless of little thing like a disparity of 300 pounds between his weight and the moose, went, over board on the creatures back. Once he was in sole charge of the canoe  Scotty had leisure to observe one oi the liveliest duels he ever saw. Al times he was uncertain whether it was Jack drowning the moose or thF moose drowning Jack. Unfortunately: the moose got his feet on a sandbar which extended into the lake. and once on solid ground. shook Jack of with ease. As Labelle, with badly ripped shirt where his late rivals horns had almost caught him. with his lungs filled with water, and his hair full of mud. watched that roast moose, venison steak. moose potpie. and broiled tongue disappear in the woods at 40 miles an hour, he justi- fed his sobriquet of Silent Jack, for the things he said are not repeatable 1 printable. ."-Ottawa Citizen

M0AB'S ISOLATION COMPLETE DweiIers In Eastern Palestine Have Always Been Distlnct-Abyss
 Is Barrier.

Most travellers who visit the Holy Land content themselves with a visit to that restricted part west of Jor- dan. The mountainous regions of Moab as seen by them from Jerusalem are lost in the purple haze that con- stantly hangs over them and the great stretches beyond are covered in mystery. This is true partly because of the fewer historical incidents con nected with the eastern regions, but mainly on account of the great abyss of the Jordan Valley that has always acted as a barrier. Few who descend Into the valley, 1900 feet below sea level, undertake to climb the hills be- yond. which rise to height of 5000 feet.
 The most striking thing about Moab has always been its isolation. However much connected by race and vicinity with their western kinsmen. the dwellers in eastern Palestine have always been distinct, and their lands have never been occupied by the na- tions on the west except through acts of aggression and conquest.
 Even today this isolation is still felt. In giving an idea of their knowl- edge of present-day geography one of them remarked: There are only four seas in the world, two of which are the Dead sea and the Sea of Galilee" Both of these are in sight of their own hills.-Christian Herald.

UNCLE SAM IS NOT SLOW
It Was Another Agency That Caused This Seemingly Great Delay
 In Mails.

Well" said MT. Fatherly, beaming with his accustomed cheerfulness as he came down the apartment hall and threw down upon the library table a postal card that he had just picked up inside the hall door, under which the mail is customarily thrust by the elevator boy, well" said Mir Father ly, still beaming, T didn't know that Uncle Sam could ever be as slow as that Here's a postal card for Belinda that was posted in California last April and has only just come"
 For me?" said Belinda Why, how wonderful" But when she had looked at the card her wonder ceased and her face was wreathed in smiles.
 Why, father" she said. T got that card months ago when it was sent and just now it must have blown out of my room"-her room is direct ly opposite the hall door and its door now was open-''to fall there on the floor just inside the hall door where you found it when you came in."
 And then they all laughed merrily, but not at Uncle Sam, and Mir. Father ly laughed with the rest for his good humor is unquenchable, even when the laugh is on him.

The capitol has recently undergone a thorough house cleaning and reno vating. Over 200 workmen have been laboring with paint brush. mallet and chisel for months to improve the building. Among the numerous big changes is that of using the power plant of southeast Washington, which will transmit heat and light through more than a mile of tunnel to the capitol the office building and the congressional library.
 All the rooms, stairways, etc, have been painted and vanished. For year after year paint and varnish have been put on the walls and stair ways until it will no longer stick, but peels of, leaving unsightly spots. This year the cleaning went so deep that all of the old paint was sandpa- pered off and the new coats put di- rectly on the walls. The painting of the dome and capitol combined has been an enormous task. It has been estimated that if one man only were to tackle the job it would take him about five years to complete it.

Plant Rreaklnn Up an Island.

Strength is not a thing usually con nected with maiden-hair fern, yet if it's roots have not sufficient room they will break the pot in which the plant grows. Blades of grass will force the curbstones between which they spring up out of their place. and in a single night crop of small mush- rooms have lifted a large stone. h. deed, plants have been known to break the hardest rocks.
 The island of Aldabra, to the north west of Madagascar, is becoming smaller and smaller through the ac- ton of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way into the rock in all directions. and into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way. In time they will probably reduce the island to pieces.
