The E5perantists were in excellent

Strange creeds among women no

to note how many women of distinc-
ton have departed from the beaten
path of orthodoxy and have raised al
tars to alien gods. Mrs. George Dew
ey has long been student of the &C.
cult and her researches into eastern
religion have been profound and along
original lines. There are three heal
ers of the Christian Science faith
among the wives of United States

Pennsylvania; Mrs Gilbert Hitchcock
Of Nebraska. and Mrs. John D. Works
OF California-and there are about 20

Business Condolences.

In his speech of acceptance Wood.
row Wilson asserted that the tariff has
made the business men of the country
"timid, fretful, full of alarms; has
robbed them of self confidence and
manly force until they have cried out
that they could do nothing without the
assistance of the government at Wash
ington."
Present day conditions challenge the
accuracy of this statement. The ex.
cellent doctor would do well to point
out some of the "timid, fretfu" bust.
ness men who are now full OF
alarms" and who ire lacking in self
confidence and manly force" Where
can he find them?
The country is at the high tide CT
prosperity Business confidence Is In
evidence everywhere. The course OF
the Republican administration is d.
rectly responsible for this condition.
Danger lies only in a change of admin
istration, with the consequent change
Of policy that is promised. Then, tru'
ly, the business men Of the country
would be full of alarms" and they
would have justification.

SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS
How Il Is Forced From Great Depths
In Louisiana BY Means Of
Hot Water.

Within recent years Sicily, so long
famous for it's expectation Of sulphur.
has suffered from the competition Of
the United States. In Sicily sulphur
is mined in the solid form. At Lake
Charles, La, near the Gulf Of Mexico
q little over 200 miles from New Or
leans, sulphur is obtained from deep
deposits in the form of liquid.
Wells driven to depth of 600 feet
in search of petroleum revealed in
stead a rich deposit of sulphur. To
obtain the mineral hollow tubes we're
driven into the earth. Each sulphur
well consists Of three tubes, one with
In another Through the outer tube
hot water is forced down, and it is
sues through perforations near the
bottom. Through the central tube
hot air is driven a little lower than
the points where the hot water es-
capes. Through this third tube, in
closed between the other two, the IL
guild sulphur, dissolved by the water,
rises to the surface under the COM
bined influence Of the pressure Of the
column of water and impulsion Of the
rising air. The liquid sulphur is led
into wooden reservoirs, where 1t cools
and hardens.

In one Of the enclosed pools at the

Visitors appeared. n was the experts
sustom, after calling particular atten-
Non to that trout. TO raise his cane
l1uickly and hold Il over the water.
Ehe performance would have no effect
upon the trout.
Then the expert would produce a
Eight trout rod and appear with It at
he side of the pool. Instantly that
trout would turn and fee, hide itself
NJ the far end OF the enclosure and
remain there so long as the rod was
IN sight.
This is the explanation Of the sud
den change in the trout's demeanor;
One day, early in the career of the
hsh, the. expert, to try a barbless
hook he had devised, cast with one
In that pool. and this trout seized it.
The hook penetrated and passed
Through its upper jaw, and by the
time it was released from the hook It
had undergone an experience that
made lasting impression upon it.
The expert discovered soon after the
hooking of the trout that whenever
he approached the pool with his rod
the trout would instantly dash to a
place Of hiding, although it paid no
attention to cane or other stick held
over the water. The trout lived for
years in that pool and never failed to
show its fear Of a trout rod as long
