Illuminating Gas.

In the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society of London for
1899 is printed letter, written in
1901, in which the Rev. John Clay
tor details series of experiments
he made in distilling coal in q re-
tort, showing not only that he had
observed the inf1ammable gases
evolved, but that he had collected
and stored them for some tin. in
bladders. In 1887 Lord Dundonald
made gas from coal, with which he
lighted the hall of. !Culross abbey.
In 1892 Robert Murdoch began the
experiments which resulted in the
establishment of coal gas as an illu-
minating agent. In 1897 he public
ly showed the system he had ma
tured, and in 1898, being employed
in the factory of Boulton g. Watt,
Birmingham, he fitted up an appa-
ratus for the manufacture of gas
in that establishment, with which
it was lighted. This was the first
use of Illuminating gas except by
way of experiment.

A Vain Precauticn.

Lord Talbot De Malahide was talk
ing in New York about the thorough
ness Of the customs Investigations.
THE smuggler." he said, "is bound
to be detected if he tries his little
game in your metropolis. The snug
gler's precautions against detection at
this admirably-managed port are as
vain and ludicrous as the precautions
of the dreaming Irishman.
An Irishman, you know, once
dreamed that he was visiting the late
Queen Victoria.

said to him.

SOCIAL INFLlCTIONS.

/ have seen men who neigh like a
horse when you contradict them or
say something they do not under
stand; then the overbold, who make
their own invitation to your hearth !;
the persevering talker, who gives
you his society in large, saturating
doses; the pitiers of themselves
perilous class; the frivolous Asmo-
deus, who relies on you to find him
in ropes of sand to twist; the mono
tones in short, every stripe of alb
slrdity-thcse are social infections
which the magistrate cannot cure
or defend you from, and which must
be intrusted to the restraining force
of custom, and proverbs and famil-
lar rules of behavior impressed on
young people in their school days.

IS HUMAN VACUUM CLEANER
Emanda's Economies In Line Of Good
Housekeeping Hare Screw
Loose"

Long before the. introduction of
the vacuum cleaner Amanda had
achieved by sheer persistence of arm,
the energetic welding of broom ard
brush, the precise results accom-
plished by this excellent invention.
Her husband whimsically complains
that the house is always in process
of renovation and seldom is a con-
dition which can be considered COM
Portable and livable, but he is a mere
man and little can be expected of
him. Of course, Amanda is i'll from
time to time, usually as the result of
doing more than she ought. She has
headaches, backaches and nerves that
are on edge. Her sons slip out of
the house in the evening because
they prefer to be where they are not
reproved if they draw a chair from
its place or leave newspaper on the
floor. Her daughters enjoy visiting
much more than staying at home,
and her maid seldom remains longer
than week or two. She had nine
teen successive maids in a single
season. Somehow Amanda's econ
omies N the line of good housekeep-
ing have screw loose. She observed
one day that she sympathized with
the women who liked to have her
house perfectly ordered and who
then wished that she could take her
family and live in the barn so that
the house need not be disturbed

KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

There are many times in the life
of q person who does things that
are worth while when he gets terri
bly, discouraged and thinks it easier
to go back than to push on. But
there is no victory in retreating,
says Orrison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. We should never
leave any bridges unburned behind
US, any way open for retreat to
tempt our weakness, indecision Oh
Encouragement. If there is any
thing we ever feel grateful for, it is
that we have had courage and pluck
enough to push on, to keep going
when things looked dark and when
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
confronted us.

STRETCH YOURSELF.
Do II the First Thing After You Wake
In the Morning.

A splendid thing for the body is
stretching. When you first wake
up In the morning, take a good, long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing oil tiptoc, see how near you
can reach the ceiling Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for long time read
ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing to do is to
get up and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward. Lift the shout
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as possible,
any way so you give the muscles
good, vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired, there is
nothing more restfui than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.

NEW YORK, May 20.-President James
C. Cannon or the Fourth National bank
of this city, who has just returned from
a 900o-mile trip through the west which
carried him to twenty-one cities In eigh-
teen states, is enthusiastic over the solid
foundation on which the business OF the
country rests. especially on the Pacific
coast.
Mr., Cannon met and talked with the
leading business men and bankers OF ali
the cities he visited. He said today he
found the general basic conditions of the
country excellent. In many portions OF
the country, whore but little rain had
fallen for two or three years. there had
been an abundance this spring and II
nothing unforeseen should happen during
the next thirty or sixty days, he said.

The banking situation was in excellent
shape. He said that bankers and bust

congress and an effort made to enact a
law along the lines suggested by the

HOW EASTERNERS VIEW
GET ACQUAINTED" TRIPS
By Leased Wire TO The Tribune.

NEW YORK, MAY 20.-One of the Sc
cret grievances Of shippers against rail-
roads has been said TO be that shippers
are unable to bargain and haggle for
their transportation, IS they did when
there existed competition, and that
passes and other favors have disappeared.
A way has been found to overcome this
feeling
II is notorious that when man who
has ridden on passes all his life is de-
privcd of them he feels that he is de-
prived OF something that belongs to him
he will pay 20 ride on another road than
the one OH which he has been travelling
free.
Il becomes the business OF railroad
managers to iron out these kinks in hu-
man nature. In the west the railroads
are conducting what they call "get-ac-
quainted' trips. All the local officers OF
the railroad, and such eminent persons
as can he induced TO go along, get aboa I'd
a specially luxurious train and start over
the line. They stop at every little place,
admire the crops. the improvements and
the babies, offer helpful advice, dine bad
ly at the clubs and tell how impossible
it would be for railroad to survive its
shippers

ATLANTIC CITY. May 2o,-The report
OF the committee on Sabbath observance

buying things because you happened to
want them. even IL they were unneces-
sary, and having no hot meals. so your
servants could rest, was declared to be
absurd, and tho assembly was urged to
ignore such trivial matters" Others
spoke earnestly in favor OF keeping the
Sabbath as the commandments ordered,
and the report with its eleven stringent
resolutions was adopted.
Among the resolutions embodied in the
report was one that college presidents
and faculties be required to abolish Mon
day morning recitations so that students
would not have to study on Sunday.
1t was decided to organize Sabbath
observance committees In each presby
terry TO cooperate with similar commit
tees from other denominations and with
state and national organizations in pre-
serving the sanctity of the Lords day,
Public officials are urged in another
resolution TO do their full duty In en-
forcing Sunday closing laws and Sunday
newspapers arc denounced in unqualified
terms.
The United States government is also
asked so To arrange that in time OF peace
no warships, 1ourneying up and down
the coast will have to move on Sunday.
The papers in the heresy case against
the Rev. DIR. William d. Grant OF North
cumberland having been presented to the
PRESBYTERIAN general assembly now in
session here 1t is expected that the judi
cial committee. TO which the case, has
been referred will sive the subject

mary. and Prof William Adams Brown
OF the same institution has not vet come
before the assembly. The report OF the
special committee on Sabbath observance
was also taken up today. 1t reports that
many more industrial concerns have dis
continued Sunday work,
''The sentiment that laboring men
should strike for a siXday week as well
as an eight hour day is growing and
meets the approval OF the labor leaders, >"
SAYS the report.
Among the matters to come before the
convention is the consolidation Of sew
eral boards. which precipitated a long
discussion yesterday.
