From the Quincy, Ill, Wing.
The mining n qu2rrying Industry
Is n Of the greatest industries in
the United States. During the ad
ministration CT President Taft the
miners have prospcrcd, there have
been fewer strikes than ever, and Why
should the miners yote for a change?
The best is rene too good Ter the
working people of this country. and
they have been getting the best dur
ing the past four years. Can they
expect anything better under the
administration Of a Democratic presi-
dent, when history teaches US hat
this would be an utter imposzibihty?
Illinois has S6,3s9 persons engaged
IL the industry, a larger number than
any other state in the east north cen
trail group, which consists CT the
states CT Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan and Wisconsin. Do the voters
OF this great state went to continue
to prosper, or do they prefer to go
back to the old days when they
worked for starvation wages? This
is something fer the thinking men of
this country TO ponder over. You
cannot get away from the cold facts.

This figure represents an increase CT

q month earlier. Il is also the largest
amount Of business shown since the
corporation began issuing monthly re-
ports of its orders, and has not been
exceeded in the quarterly statements

moun Of business the corporation
ever reported was 8.A89,719 IONS cp

Ming OF this year the business on the
order books has increased from 5,08t,.
I8l tons and during a large part OF
the period the mills have been running
close to their productive capacity.
This means everything TO Gary for
the next year. If the steel companies
cannot keep pace with their orders,
with all their plants running at prac-

In Europe. where the food value of
honey seems to be much better under
stood than in the United States. enor-
nous quantities are used or late
years we seem to be waking to the
realization of the value of honey as n
wholesome and delicious article of
food and also as to its preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar soon become dry and
crumbly and to get the good of them
must be eaten when fresh. but where
they are made up with honey they
seem to retain their moist freshness
indefinitely. In France honey bread
year or eighteen months old is pre-
ferred to that just made. They say,
ut has ripened" 1t is the preserva-
tive. or rather the unchanging quality
of honey. that makes it so popular

A COLOSSAL HARP.
Veritan's Aeolian Giant Had Strings
800 Feet In Length.

Veritans Aeolan Giant Had Strings
800 Feet In Length.
The largest harp ever made. so far
as is known. was that invented and
constructed by Nj. Veritan. provost of
Burki, near Basel. 1t was known as
the gigantic meteorological aeolian
harp. 1t was 800 feet in length and was
erected in the garden of its inventor IN
1877.
This harp consisted of fifteen iron
wires. 320 feet in length. stretched be-
tween two poles. The wires were from
two to three inches apart, the largest
being one-siXth of an inch in thickness
and the smallest one-twelfth of an inch.
They we're placed in the direction of
north and south and inclined in such a
manner as TO form an angle Of from
twenty to thirty degrees with the hori-
zon. being stretched by means of roll
ers properly disposed for the purpose.
Whenever the weather changed the
wires sounded with such loudness that
1t was impossible to 90 on with con-
cert in the house. The sound sometimes
represented the kissing noise of water
in rapid ebullition. sometimes that OF a
harmonicon and sometimes that of dis
tant chimes or an organ.-Exchange.

What Presentation to English Royal
ty Means Socially.
There is no need for jealousy and ex-
ritement about presentations at court
Any respectable American girl can be
presented at the court of st. James II
she have sufficient influence with some
lady who is even mildly persona grata
at court And when a girl or a matron
has been presented then the matter
ninety-nine cases out Of a hundred
comes to an abrupt end.
The social cachet amounts to no
more than thls-that the lord chamber
lain has made an inquiry into your an
tecedents and found nothing in their
history to cause comment. In the case
Of Americans the inquiry canpI be
anything but perfunctory.
Some people imagine that presenta-
ton at court is followed Immediately
by an invitation to the next state din
ner or the next state concert or the
next state tea and mullins. Nothing of
the kind. You must attain or inherit
great social importance or be repre-
sentative in some way before the king
and queen ask you to dine with them.
Presentation is n pretty laborious
and expensive ceremony. signifying to
any one who is not in the inner social
ring in London nothing. - New York

CUBAN TASK DIFFICULT.
Navy Prepares to Remain in Island
Many Weeks.

Washington, d. C.-Naval officers
are of the opinion that their task
of policing eastern Cuba will be
long one, for recent orders show that
GOLFERS are being made ready to
carry supplies to the vessels in Gu
ban waters sufficient to meet their
needs for weeks.
The coiiier Hector is scheduled to
leave Hampton Roads today for Key
West, and probably will proceed from
there to Guantanamo. The collier
Celtic is under orders to leave Bos
ton within fortnight, and her cruise
also in all probability will end at
Guantanamo.
The commander of the gunboat
Paducah reports great uneasiness in
Santiago and vicinity. Reports also
came of ominous movements on the
part of the insurrectos and of appeals
for help from plantation owners.
From one source came rumor
that Cuba itself had fostered the in
surrection for certain political pur-
poses, but that the movement had
gone beyond its control. The state
department knows nothing to con-
firm this 'rumor.
There is talk at the war depart
ment of sending some army officer
to Cuba to make an impartial inves-
tigation of conditions there and if
possible to act as an intermediary in
restoring peace between the factions.
1t is the common belief that If in
the end intervention in Cuba is a
necessity there must be sweeping
changes in the organic law of the
republic to guard against the recur-
renee of conditions that have made
the present insurrection possible.
