~ At the enormous cost Of 1905 lives, It Is likely that there will be radi-
cal reforms In the conduct of transatlantic passenger shipping In view
Of the fact that Capt Smith of the Titanic had been warned Of the prox.
Unity Of icebergs and had passed the warning along to other ships, It Is
plain that there is something wrong with navigation methods In vogue
that allowed him to run his ship into IN iceberg and sink her. One
instrumentation that may b adopted 10 that all lncs be equipped with
powerful searchhghts. to be- oprrated By. tina lookout In the crows nest.
These lights It 10 claimed. would reveal the presence. Of even submerged

stair climbing. but It Is likely that the Idea win be urged in England.
There IL also In agitation a project to force liners to take a route con.
aderaby to the southward Of tho present lane during the iceberg season.
This 10 not . new agitation. but the steamship companies have been able
to stick to the old and shorter routes because of the call for speed. -.

HARPs ARE COSTLY.

And So Are Their Fancy Covers and
 Curious Looking Trunks.
 Every harp should have cover for its protection from dust and dampness. and these covers are made sometimes of canvas or waterproof stuff. but usually. for home use. of canton fan mel. of felt or of corduroy. These GOV CTS are not simply loose bags to cover the harp, but in each case tailor made t0 Tt the individual harp. Such harp covers cost from $2.5O to $1O each. Costlier harp covers are made of silk of any desired color to harmonize with a room or its fittings and cost perhaps $35 or $40
 New harps of American make. which are said to be the best in the word. cost from $500 to $2,OOO. while second hand harps may be bought at $125 and upward.
 Most new harps are shipped by the makers in wooden cases which are made to it. The most costly harps are now. shipped in harp trunks, in each case made for them.
 Harp owners who do not own trunk may have one made to order so that the trunk shall fit the harp. Harps weigh fifty to seventy five pounds. each. A harp trunk weighs about 15O pounds and costs $50. The harp is placed within this trunk in its cover. and the trunk is so padded within as to hold the harp securely. There are made many odd looking trunks for various special uses, but harp trunk is about as curious looking contraption as any of them.-New York Sun.

sHRINEs IN JAPAN.

Those Within the Guarded Gates of
 Asakuse Temple.
 "Asakuse temple is dedicated to the goddess Kwannon. tiny image of gold about two and half inches high writes a traveller in Japan. "At the entrance to the temple grounds on either side of the immense gate stand two large and fearful looking figures. guarding the sacred precincts. Hang ing outside the wire grating are num- Der of sandals for their use if they wish to take walk. and rice is sprin- kled about. Each worshiper before en tering the temple calls at small build ing and. after contributing small amount, washes his hands and rinses his mouth.
 ''In front of the main shrine is a large aperture in the floor covered with lattice work, into which the worshiper casts his gift. After clapping his hands to awaken or attract the attention of the god he kneels. but his prayer is only brief. While there is one chief shrine there are many others under tn4' same roof
 "One shrine especially attracted mS attention. 1t was made of wood and quite disfigured and worn through thi. constant rubbing of hands on the spot corresponding to the afflicted portions of the sufferers ies."-Chivago News.

Horseshoes In Turkey.

Tn many parts of Turkey horseshoes are simply a fiat plate of iron with d hole in the middle. An extraordinary method still obtains in portions of tile Ottoman empire of shoeing the horse.
 Tho farrier doubles long rope and knots loop at the end to about the size of a large horse collar. This is put over the horses head after the manner of a horse collar. and the knot rests on the horses chest. The next step is to bring the two ends of the rope between the animals legs Each rope then, taken by man, k hitched on the fetlocks of the horse's legs and brought through the loop in front. Then by a hard, steady pull the hind legs are drawn up to the fore legs, and the horse falls heavily on it's side. All four feet are now tied to gether by the fetlocks. the horse is propped up on his back, and the farrier sits quietly down beside him. takes off the old shoes and puts on the new New York Herald.

What It Really Was.

The district inspector was visiting the school, and as this was an impor- tant event the pupils had been in structed to memorize a verse or two to recite for the entertainment of the wis itOr.
 During the delivery of his verse one small boy was especially noticeable for the action with which he accompanied his lines, so noticeable that the teacher complimented him upon the ease with which he spoke and the practice which he must have devoted to the piece.
 ''It was fine, Johnnie" she exclaimed in closing. "and shows large amount of rehearsal. But how did you learn the gestures?''
 "'Tain't gestures" replied the young genius, with twist; tits the hives."- Ladies' Home Journal

THIRTY YEARS Auo.
June 8. 1xB4.
 items Of local interest taken from the cOIu of The Press. thirty years ago.

At the cemetery association meet ing last Friday evening the committee previously chosen reported an outline of plan for organization which was approved, and a new committee, con- sisting of R. s. Hicks, Alvarado How ard, c. J. Holmes, w. D. Heald and F. F. Patten, were appointed to com plete the work by preparing bylaws, etc.. and to open books for stock. The plan is substantially as follows: A stock company with four hundred shares of $25 each. Each stockholder has a vote for each share held, also each lot holder may vote at all meet ings Of the money received by sale of lots 20 per cent. is to be set aside as fund to be used i'll keeping the grounds in good order or to enlarge them as needed, and the balance, above what is needed for eXpendi- lures, is to be used for the gradual re- payment of what may have been called for from the stockholders, with six per cent interest added for the time of its use. When the stockholders shall have thus received back all the money paid in by them they are re- tired from the association, which then is made up from and managed by the lot owners alone. A most generous offer was last fall made by Josiah Converse, Esq, to donate to a ceme- tery association the present enclosure and large tract of contagious land, provided he could have a guarantee that it would always be kept as a cemetery and have proper care as such.-

OUR SUPREME COURT.
lts Changes In Numbers Since lt Was
 First Organized.

It's Changes In Numbers Since It Was
 First Organized.
 As originally made up the supreme court consisted of d chief justice and five associate justit es. In 1907 sixth assoI iale was added when a new dis trict had been created to take in the new western territory comprising the states "f Ohio. Tennessee and Ken lucky. In 1887 the expansion of the nation westward again called for mn increase in the court, and two more associate justices were added.
 In 1863 ninth associate justice was needed, but five years later, when ap- preaching vacancies made it likely that President Andrew Johnson might have the appointment of the new members. congress, then in open antagonism to the chief executive. reduced the num- Der to seven, thus preventing him from making an appointment.
 This number two years later, after the inauguration of President Grant. was increased to eight associate jus tices and a chief justice. and as then constituted the court has remained. The last alteration in the court was declared at the time Ec be due to pc- Htical reasons as clearly as the reduc- ton in 1868. as the addition of a new member made it possible for the court to reverse itself in the legal tender de- cisions.-New York Post.
