trouble off Chincoteague Island We'd

lying safely at anchor in Toms Cove,

Trudging For the Wash.

The Portuguese country people as a
usual thing have great physical en-
durance, doubtless as result Of the
"survival of the fittest" for many gen.
erations. The laundry workers are an
example Of this. People come in from
long distances to get soiled clothes Of
city customers. The clothes will be
placed in big panniers on the family
donkey, and the peasants will start
back late in the afternoon Some Of
them will travel all night, and it will
be sunup before they reach their
homes. many miles from Lisbon or
Oporto. A day or two later they are
trudging back to deliver the clothes.

a country man and his wife take a

DISCOVERS new MINERAL.
Princeton Professor Names It Gazette.
After Trenton Man.

DR.. A. II. Phillips, professor Of min
eralogy at Princeton university, has
announced the discovery of new min
eral in the vicinity of Franklin Fur
mace, N. J. Professor Phillips names
his discovery gazette, in honor of R.
B. Gage of Trenton, through whose eff
forts sufficient material was gathered
to make the necessary analysis. The
new mineral is said to belong to the
family of leucophoenicite, and it's prob
able existence has been predicted by
mineralogists since 1909.
Gazette is found in a transparent
crystalline formation and possesses a
high vitreous luster. Thus far none Of
the mineral has been found anywhere
but in the Parker shaft near Franklin,
where it was discovered lodged in the
walls of small cavities and in fan
shaped groups.
It is not believed that the new min
eral will be Of any value commercially.

An EarIv "Trust,"

AS an example Of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclu-
sive right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for fourteen years. A
year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, r. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for 5 shillings pound
In those days $1.25 was worth fully
three times as much as it is now.-N.

HOT DRINKS.
If Taken Above 1870 Degrees They In
jure the Stomach.

IF Taken Above 1870 Degrees They In
jure the Stomach.
Many people without realizing it are
in the habit of drinking tea at much
too high temperature, Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
"Diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
IT,"
"Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es-
pecially, at a temperature which if
applied to the hands or feet would in
flict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers
take it about 40 to 145 degrees F.,
which the mouth bears very well if
slowly slipped, while the cup itself is
too hot to be held by any hand.
But the habit Of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach, and 1t
ought not to be taken above 100 de-
grees or so. Again, water at 120 de-
grees, which feels a little more than
lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe
pain if the hand is dipped in it and
cannot be endured"
He has, however, some good words
to say for the early morning tea.
'"This morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and a half
before the first meal of the day. For
many years I have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning in
bed after tea, as I am doing at this
moment, and at no time do find the
brain clearer for work, while the ap-
petite for solid food is excellent when
the hour for breakfast arrives

WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy IS Restore Tarnished Pieces %
OriginaI Freshness. ..3.

Original Freshness. 1. #s5s
Very few people know that furni.
ture ought to be washed" said a sales
man in the furniture section Of a large
department store. Yet he continued.
1T is the best thing one can do to keep
furniture looking as well as it should.
One should take a bucket Of tepid rain
water and make a suds with a good
pure soap. Then with soft piece Of
cheesecloth all the woodwork should
be washed. It is astonishing how much
dirt will come off. A second piece of
cheesecloth should be wrung dry out of
hot water. On this should be poured a
tablespoon of first class furniture pol
1sh. The heat will spread the polish
through the cloth. Next the furniture
should be gone over with the second
cloth. There will be no need of put
ting on more polish, for that much will
do all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake of using too much
polish and leaving it thick on the furni-
ture, where it looks dauby and where
1t gathers more dirt
There is furniture in homes today
that Is cast off because of it's appear
ance when it might be brought back
to its original freshness by this simple
process Of washing. Many persons do
not know that fine bit of mahogany
is improved by careful washing, and
hundreds of pianos have never been
more than busted in years. A square
of cheesecloth for the washing and an
other for the polishing will do the
work, and the result will we'll repay
the effort.-Indianapolis News.

LIBERTY TREE MADE OF ZINC.
Haiti Bound to Have Durable National
Emblem.

Emblem.
In front Of the presidential residence
in Haiti is giant cocoanut tree, but
it's leaves are always in the same con-
dition. In storm or sunshine their Sc
renity is never disturbed. ......:... .
The tree is the republics tree Of
liberty. When the republic was es-
tablished it was thought that a tree
should be planted to signalize so great
an event, but Haiti, it seems, has but
one tree, and that the cocoanut tree.
But the cocoanut tree is hardly the
species to be chosen for tree of lib
erty, for it grows to good height and
becomes bare as it's age increases.
How was the difficulty to be over
come? It was a very simple matter.
One Of the council suggested that an
imitation cocoanut tree made Of zinc
should be ordered from London, with
the leaves, etc, painted to represent
nature. The idea was adopted.

Half a Million to Be Expended on
Improvements. 1851, . ~
Anticosti, the Canadian island prin-
cipality Of Henri Menier, the French
chocolate man, is shut off from the
outside world for another season, the
last boat having arrived in Quebec
from there, and nothing more will be
heard from it till navigation in the
lower St. Lawrence and gulf is opened
In the spring. Great changes are 60
Ing on in the island, which is rapidly
becoming important industrially.
Henri Menier has tried many things
to make the island self supporting. In
cluded in these enterprises have been
lobster and other fisheries and even
the breeding Of silver foxes, only to
result in failure.
New Markets Opened.
There is a great amount of spruce
and fir timber on the island, but it is
for the most part not of size suitable
for deals, and until now the haul from
Anticosti has been considered too long
for successfully marketing the pulp
wood.
But with the adoption by the prov
ince Of Quebec last spring of it's policy
of prohibiting the expectation of pulp
wood from crown lands there came
boom on the island, and now great
plans are on foot for the expectation
OF pulp wood to the United States in
vast quantities, beginning next spring.
Mr.. Men1er is building one Of the
largest rossing plants in the world,
with a capacity of 400 cords a day.
Rossing plants are mills in which the
bark is removed from pulp wood by
machinery, the logs being cut into two
foot lengths and these two foot blocks
held against a rapidly revolving disk
in which are set knives which cut the
bark away.
Not Affected by Law.
AS Mr.. Menier owns the island in
fee simple the prohibition of the ex-
port Of pulp wood from the province
OF Quebec does not affect him, such
prohibition applying only to wood cut
from the crown lands Not less than
10000 cords Of this rossed wood will
be shipped from Anticosti next season.
all Of it going to points in New York
state on the upper st. Lawrence and
Lake Ontario. j.,
The population now numbers 1000.
Mr.. Menier will spend next summer on
the island, and he is planning to ex-
pend 100000 in improvements, includ-
ing the construction Of twenty miles
Of railway. Miles of new railway will
be added each year till the road runs
the whole length of the island
Six hundred laborers are employed
this winter in cutting pulp wood. A
wharf mile long has been construct
ed at Ellis bay, where it will be loaded
on to steamships.
