ditions of future sOciety-will guard
everyone against the commission of
acts that will rebound to his injury.
Self-training and the knowledge of
their own being are possessions of
the men and the women of the future
society to a degree much above the
present. The simple circumstances
that all bashful prudery and affecta-
ton Of secrecy regarding natural
matters will have vanished is a
guarantee of more natural inter-
course of the sexes than that which
prevails to-day. If incompatibility,
disenchantment, or repulsion set in
between two persons who have come
together, morality commands that
the unnatural, land therefore immor-
al, bond be dissolved. Seeing,
moreover, that all the circumstances
and conditions, which until then con-
demned large numbers of women to
celibacy and TO prostitution, will
have vanished, man can no longer
superimpose himself. On the other
hand, the completely changed social
conditions will have removed the
numerous inconviences that to-day
affect married life, that often pre-
vent it's favorable unfolding, or that
even render it wholly impossible"

LITTLE DATA ASKED OF
GEORGTA'S CONFEDERATE
VETERANS "HOME."

Dear Sir: Will you, as a personal
favor to a former resident of Georgia,
kindly inform me what final DISPOSE
ton was made of the Home for Con-
federate Veterans, erected sometime
in the early '90's near Atlanta
through the efforts of the late Henry
w. Grady and associates?
I was a resident Of Atlanta when
the Legislature twice Gam I right?)
refused to accept and maintain the
institution and | have long had a
curiosity to know what became of it.
By answering this inquiry you will
confer a great favor on one who still
loves Georgia, although not native
of the state. Yours respectfully,
Belvidere, ILL., H. P. MILLS.
Answer.
Very unfortunately, as it proved,
the State finally accepted the Home.
It is now one Of our most expensive
elephants; it furnishes fat jobs to
small regiment of lame ducks, and
the old soldiers who are imprisoned
there seem to be in a state of chronic
doubt as to whether they wouldn't get
more enjoyment out of life if they
were on the chaingang. One of the
old Vets was beaten to death by one
of the officers in charge, and another
one would have been if it had not
been for the interference of the street
car men who happened to hear the
noise of the fracas. A. w. Force, the
manager, had waylaid an old soldier
named Few, and was beating him
viciOusly with club. Force comes of
a family in which a brother is a fugi-
tive from justice because of a murder
he committed in Atlanta, and sister
is confined in Sanitarium because
she murdered two of her sisters.

WHY WE FOUGHT SPAIN.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Will you give
us some information with regard to
the injustice Of the United States
declaring war with Spain, on &C
count of Cuba~ and the blowing up of
the battleship Maine?
Lincoln, Ala. G. G. GLADDEN..
Answer:
The war against Spain had no ad-
equate provocation. The sentiment
for it was worked up by sensational
news papers and Ambitious polite
ians. The struggle presented fine
opportunities for loot, and they were
made the most Of by the Beef Trust,
the Powder Trust, the railroads and
those who supplied the commissary.
Spain appeared to lose much by the
war, but in fact she lost nothing
She not only got $20,00O,000 of
good hard cash for the Philippines

Comment:
1t has always been my understand
ing that the first experiment in
Rural Free Delivery was made in
the mountains of West Virginia and
by Hon VIM L. Wilson, who sue
ceeded Mr. Bissell as Post Master
General. Cleveland and his New
York P. M. G. had ignored the law
whose passage [ secured, and had
refused to obey the mandate of Con-
gross to make the experiment with
the free delivery of mail to people
living outside Of incorporated towns,
cities and villages. When Mr.. Will
son, however, was made Post Master
General he carried out the instruc-
lions of the law-making branch of
the government, and did so in his
native state-I think in his Congress-
iOnal district. I have been informed
by Virginia gentleman, who is now
connected with the government SER
vices, and who was then a clerk I'M
der Mr.. Wilson, that he always re-
ferred to me as the author of the
r. F. D. system. T. E. w.

DETROIT FURNACES FAMOUS.

When Uncle Sans pocketbook Is
fat. the members Of his big family APP
pear 10 want all the comforts OF home.
One OF these is a furnace and the de-
sire for such equipment has proven
profitable for the Detroit manufae<
turers OF heating apparatuses. The
period OF prosperity has been helpful
TO the makers OF hot air, steam and
hot water heating systems alike. While
four times as many steam and hot
water plants are being installed now
adays as formerly, there is also big
demand for hot air furnaces. few
years ago there was general preju-
dice against installing hot water or
steam plants in cottages or bunga-
lows. but time has changed opinions
and Il is now common spectacle to
see hot water or steam pipes in the
smaller houses.
The product of Detroit furnace
foundries finds its way not only into
the homes OF the Americans, but also
into foreign dwellings and palaces.

now heated with n steam plant man
ufactured in this city.

tools are manufactured in this city.
There are few concerns making
special tools, but these are only "A
drop in the bucket" Nearly all OF
the lathes, monitors. drilling, milling
and grinding machines and other
varieties of machine tools that have
been SO large a factor in the work
OF supplying the phenomenal demand
for Detroit-made motor cars, have
been shipped in from outside and dis
tributed through the local tobbers.
It will not be long, however. before
Detroit will have machine tool
plant OF it's own, and one OF the finest
in the country. Several months ago,
through the efforts OF the Detroit
Board of Commerce, a large eastern
concern became interested in Detroit
as a manufacturing center and, after
looking over the ground thoroughly,
has decided 10 locate here. The COM
pany is now negotiating for site and
expects 10 start moving not later than
June /. By next fall, and perhaps
earlier, the new plant will be in full
operation.

the automobile as for the home, the

been proven on city streets and on
country roads, in pleasant weather
and in mud and wind and rain.
The user is beginning TO demand
electric lights on his car. Some man
ufacturers are making IL their stan
dard equipment, others are making
II optional while still others, and
some OF them. the so called progress
sive ones, are not furnishing IL at all.
These latter ones will wake mp some
day in the near future TO the TACT
that they have not been keeping
abreast OF the times. They are not
keeping up with the procession TO
say nothing OF leading II.
Perhaps. one OF the greatest ad-
vances along this line, however, Is
the acknowledgements electric
generator. This generates ALI the
electricity required for lighting and
ignition while the car is in motion,
absolutely without expense. A stor-
age battery is provided, "hoated on
the line" into which the surplus
electricity is stored and supply Is
thus provided for lighting the car
when it is not in motion. Various
devices for controlling the generator
have been invented but ii goes with
out saying that the best are the SIM
plest. those that are purely mechani-
cal in their action, positive and auto
matte.
Electric lamps have been devised
for every possible automobile re-
quirement. Some manufacturers, max
ing a speciality OF them, have seyerai
complete lines OF pleasing designs.
The tungsten filament has been SO
perfected for use in bulbs that break
age is practically a negligible guam
tity. New devices have been invented
for holding the lamps In the socket
so that they cannot be loosened by
the jolting OF the car. From one
half TO twenty-five candle power
bulbs can be secured. The tail light
ordinarily carries two candle power,
side lights four candle power and
head light from 16 TO "a candle pow
er. Special devices are provided SO
that any or all lamps can be removed
from the car without disturbing the
wiring and small switch controls

burned at once or they may be burn

Fuel Oil.

One OF the necessary problems IN
the industrial world relates to the
matter OF fuel; fuel that can be stor-
ed with safety, saving of storage
space and economy in heating cost per
hour Various substitutes have come
to the surface in efforts TO replace
coal. Principal among these is oil
fuel, which has been made OF great
commercial value because OF its gem
eral adaptability.
SO important is the matter OF fuel
in the industrial world that furnaces
are now made adaptable TO the use Of
both, coal and OIL
Perfection OF detail in equipment
and methods through the various de.
partments OF refining, manufacture
and distribution has made fuel oil
commonly popular in industrial cen.
ters. The miles OF pipe lines, the

sumers adaptable and economical oil
fuel service. Manufacturers and
others now use oil fuel extensively
because Il has been found TO be OF high
Combustible power, because it can be
stored safely and i'm large quantities
In comparatively limited space Fuel
oil can be economically transported
and is being much used because man

BOOM IN HARDWARE TRADE.
Increased Business Reflects Prosper
ity Of the Farmer.

Prosperity among the farmers dur
ing the past few years has given the
hardware trade a big boom. IL
have doubled The automobile bust
ness has, of course, been ource OF
profit TO the hardware men, particu.
larly TO the wholesalers, but its effect
on the trade is small in comparison
with that of good crops in the coun-
try. When times are good the farm
ers buy extensively, stocking up with
new garden tools, implements and
household furnishings, including
Stoves, ranges and kitchen utensils
They also do much repairing about
their barns and homes, such as in
stalling new eavetroughs and erect
ing galvanized chimneys, etc, while
many, of course, build new homes and
barns. All this activity on the part
OF the farmers means more grist for
the hardware mill.
From the condition of the hardware
trade IL is also evident that pros
perity is not confined to the country
In the towns and cities there Is q
big demand for all kinds OF hardware,
particularly skates and bicycles. AS
matter of fact, the bicycle has
come back" Just when ii was
thought to have outlived It's useful
ness, II hobs up more serenely than
ever The hardware men say there
will be "a big. run on wheels this
year" The bicycle, they explain, is
now recognized as cheap and sue
cessful means Of transportation by
working men, whereas, in former
years, IL was regarded more as a lux
ury and used largely for pleasure.
The demand for wheels is confined
exclusively to that of the model for
men. there being practically no call
at all for women's wheels. All the
bicycles used in Detroit are imported,
no factory for their manufacture be-
ing located here.
The price OF bicycles is now with
in the reach of most workingmen, a
wheel which used TO cost $3.50 being
now sold for sos.
In the skate line, the roller is popu-
lar. the wholesalers being unable to
get enough 10 meet the demand.
There has, also been a big run on ice
sLates
