the Azores. and made for Il. believing
that naval engagement was in prog.
ress. Her crew found. however, that
great tongues Of fame were issuing
along with the smoke and that they
had cleared for action to fight vol
cano.
Forty-eight hours later an island
made its appearance. having risen
from depth OF forty fathoms in that
period. and In another day It was fifty
one feet above the surface. With a
length of about three-quarters of a
mile, BY July 4 the Sabrina's people
were able to land on shis new shore
which was then 300 feet high. with a
circumference Of fully mile. with a
stream six yards wide running from
the center to the sea
They took formal possession Of II for

In Malacca, Siam. Java aud adjacent
regions the mental state which causes
amok is wen defined and much dread

to excessive drinking OF stimulants.
The victim first turns morose. gener-
ally remaining In this state for several
days Then he Is suddenly seized with
the mania for slaughter and starts on
his mad run with the first weapon be
can reach.
Extra precautions against these mad
ravages are taken in some OF the more
civilized places. especially Batavia.
There the police are armed with what
is called catch fork. The instant the
victim OF nmok starts on his mad dash

The art Of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound. guarded and stolen
so many times during the history Of
civilization that it seems almost i'm
possible to say anything new on glass
staining. Yet a modern process for
making the stained glass used in win
dows is a departure from anything
known to the old timers. The glass
first receives its design in mineral col.
ors, and the whole is then fired In a
heat so intense that the coloring mat
ter and the glass are indissolubly fu-ed
The most attractive feature of this
method is that the surface acquires a
peculiar pebbled character in the heat
so that when the glass is in place the
lights are beautifully soft and mellow

Major A. NJ. Harvey is a philosopher
and knows the Kipling lines alone are
true as gospel, yet he wants a dog
just a shaggy dog, that's the only speci-
fication. Anybody got one for him? His
address is 1405 Polk street, and he
wants the shaggy dog as soon as pos
sible. He would like a dog that is
willing to eat scraps, but that isn't a
necessary qualification
The major has had as many dogs as
Bluebeard had wiVes-and they have
met with similarly tragical fateS- 7
have had bad luck with my dogs said
the major sadly. Recently the major
owned a pup that was run over by an
automobile: his death plunged the Har-
vey household into mourning. The
Harvey boys buried him solemnly, and
the major speaks of the dog as he
would of a lost child
Later he imported two pedigreed
coIIies from Chicago. One caught cold
and died of pneumonia He died.
said Major Harvey, looking right into
my wife's eyes. Then the other pup
got lonesome, and ran away
The major says if he lived in a flat he
wouldn't want A dog. But when he
stamps his feet on the ground, and
strolls over his lawn, and rakes up his
back yard. he says to himself, What
is home without d good pup?'' and the
major will pay for a dog-h he is
shaggy.
So he sends the following notice to
the world at large: Wanted-A shaggy

1t), and that has substantial, intrin-
sic value, and is always salable and
is the security for the bonds, and the
only possible loss that could ever
occur is in the price remaining at
twelve cents and never advancing
sufficient to pay the expenses of oper-
atlng the plan SO as to enable the
State to sell it's holdings. The mills
must have thes cotton, and to prevent
absolute suspension of business they
will pay the IA of cent necessary
Tor the State to unload. But you
say it will cause an increase in the
production of cotton, and so much
will be raised beyond the require
ments of the world that the ability
OF the State to finance the scheme
will be exhausted, and that general
ruin will result. The answer is that
under present conditions it is abso-
luteiy impossible for us to harvest
more than sixteen million bales of
cotton. We failed to do it last year.
and even with ideal weather for
picking and handling it we would be
strained to our utmost to do it. for

agents to sell 1.-THE object being
merely to protect the cotton grower
without loss to the State. Why not
make the minimum price IS cents?
Because IL cents would enable the
farmer to make a profit of 20 per
cent, and that is reasonable and we
should ask for nothing more. This
cotton when purchased by the State
can be insured and stored in bonded
warehouses in every town and village
in the State. Cotton is not perish
able. 1t is something the world
must have, and there is always a
market for it; and the bonds that
the State has issued and on which
the money has been raised, either by
sales or borrowing to make the pur-
chases in addition to the credit of
the State, are also secured by the
cotton that IS purchased with the
money derived from them. So
there can be no question about the
bonds being a good collateral, and
all the money needed can be secured
on them. If the State thus provides
the machinery for the protection of
the cotton grower, and the mainte-

price of IL cents per pound mid
ding, it is reasonable to believe that
it will never be necessary to put the
law in practical operation. For the
buyers of cotton, the spinners, the
exchanges and spectators, will
never attempt to run cotton down to
twelve cents, for when they do the
State will intervene and take the
crop off the market. Twelve cents

the price fixed by law,-the base on
which the price must rest, and all
speculation in the staple must be at.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of tho Differences Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between tne
domestic standard Of young married
women of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of a generation OF
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion EDITORIAL:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up Impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill.

bath; kept the table set
meals; did not serve their meals IN
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their soclai
affairs to evening calls n parties
and church suppers, at which tney
wore the same black silk dress for al
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could. n
