SMALL WORKING MODELS.

Whether tiny working models of
machinery are worth the labor they
cost or not, such collection of mar
wells as British amateurs have
brought together in the London ex-
hibition of engineering models is at
least highly instructive. For the
most part, such products seem to
represent the diversion of persons
engaged in employment very differ

exhibition about one hundred entries

PLEA FOR "oLD BLACK JOE"
Row william Alden Smith Induced
Senate to Keep Aged Negro
on lts Payroll.

There was something intensely
human in the action Of Senator Will
liam Alden Smith urging the SEN
ate to retain on its payroll the name
of "Old Black Joe" Jones, the for
mer bodyguard of President Jeffer-
son Davis. Senator Smith made the
air ring as throwing back his head
he rolled out "Sirs" in the good old
Patrick Henry fashion. "Sir," he
declared to the chair, "the south
erners have cared for their wounded
and suffering, they have asked no
pensions from the government
against which they rebelled. With
a solicitude which we may well emu
late, they have bound up their own
wounds, nursed their own sick and
dying and cared for their dead, re-
built their devastated states and vol
UNFAIRLY burdened themselves that
we might pension our heroes and
house them IN comfort in their de-
clining years. 1 think it is little
less than pusillanimous to object to
a simple recognition for an aged
negro"
There was a rollcall, and by a
vote of 81 to 18 "Old Joe" was re-
tanned on the payroll Of the senate.
One senator averred that the word
"pusillanimous" carried the day for
William Alden. But the senator
from Michigan only smiled, and
after the merry war he strolled down
the senate corridor in front of the
marble room whistling the refrain
Of "Old Black Joe" at lively tempo.

HAIRS FROM FAMOUS HORSES
u 10 a Fad In England 10 Collect
Mementoes From Tails Of
Racers.

There was a somewhat unpleasant
incident at the Yarmouth race meet
ing caused by a curious hobby which
is growing increasingly popular
among lovers Of race horses. A
horse suddenly dashed out with its
heels, and a man who was behind it
narrowly escaped serious injury.
The trainer spoke to the man
angrily, and when asked to explain
the incident the trainer said that the
man had been trying to pull hairs
from the horses TIL. He added
that many people made collections Of
the hairs from famous horses. Ordi-
narily they wrote to the owner or
trainer for them, but there we're a
certain number of men who tried
to make few shillings by plucking
them from the horses at different
meetings.
1t appears that there are many
such collections, and one of them
recently changed hands for 800.
Such a price is above the average,
but this collection contained sixty
hairs, three from each of the tails
of twenty winners of classic races,
among them being Galopin, Or
monde, Flying Fox, Sceptre, Ard
Patrick, Rock Sand, Pretty Polly
and Spearmint, the genuineness be-
ing vouched for by letters from the
various owners and trainers.-Lon-

A BAD COLD.

She was a shiftless, slipshod
creature, not very bright, not very
strong, who used to come round
once in a while to tell her tale of
woe, accept a bundle of old clothes,
and perhaps earn a little by some
odd job of cleaning. The family
had missed her for weeks; then she
reappeared.

THIS VETERAN WAS MODEST
When Finally He Was Induced to
Tell Of Battle, the Tale Was
Disappointing.

There is in existence a very modest
man who, though now peacefully
employed, has in his day seen fight
ing in many parts of the globe. His
friends know this and lose no oppor-
tuntiy to draw him out anent his
thrilling war adventures. But the
veterans modesty is such that his
tales are more than likely to be color
less and disappointing.
Once some of his friends cornered
him and by artful subterfuge led
the conversation straight up to a
certain battle, in which, as they
knew, the veteran had participated.
In a moment of carelessness he al
lowed himself to be trapped into
statements regarding that battle.
Whereupon, noting that he had
warmed to the subject, one of his
friends suddenly said:
"You we're in that battle, weren't
your"
"Y-yes," confessed the veteran,
much embarrassed.
"Tell us about your experiences
on that day." commanded one of the
gathering.
There was a breathless silence.
The fighter saw there was no way
out of it.
"On that day." he began slowly,
"at a conservative estimate"
All leaned forward eagerly.

RICHES OF ALASKA.

Alaska has proved to be a bonanza
in fisheries and a treasure house of
gold, coal and copper. There are ag-
richltural stations within seventy
five miles of the arctic circle. At
some points, indeed, vegetables are
grown north of the arctic circle, close
up to the shores of the Arctic ocean.
Stock raising is progressing in Alas
ka and its islands, while wheat, oats
and barley flourish under the ICY
stars of the north.

CAPACITY FOR LABOR.

By actual tests two horses weigh
ing 1000 pounds each can pull $3.50
pounds, which is $50 pounds more
than their combined weight. One
elephant weighing $4,000 pounds
can pull $3.50 pounds, which is
$3.50 pounds less than its weight.
Fifty men, aggregating $500
pounds in weight, can pull $3.50
pounds, which is the score of the ele-
plant. 1t will be observed that the
men also pull more than their own
weight.

GOOD WORK STARTED.

There has been recently formed
the American Association for the
Conservation of Vision, the object of
which is the spreading of the gospel
of proper illumination. Its field of
labor has been outlined only in the
most general way, but it is claimed
that there is a great opportunity for
good work in this direction. Most of
the fixtures for artificial illumination
are faulty in that efficiency is sacri-
feed for so-called artistic effect.

Tne World In Cincinnati.

Unusual preparations are being
made for the presentation of the
Pageant of Darkness and Light in
connection with THE World in
Cincinnati" the great Missionary
Exposition to be held in Music
Hall buildings from March 9 to
April 6. A call has gone out to
the churches of Cincinnati and vi
cinity for 5000 singers and other
participants who are to be engaged
in the presentation of the Pageant,
serving in relays. The costumes
used at the presentation of the
Pageant at "The Orient in Lon
don" in 1908, and at THE World
in Boston" last year, are to be
used in Cincinnati.
The Pageant of Darkness and
Light is a great musical drama, a
spectacular representation of tri-
umphal events in the history of
missions. There are five episodes
or scenes, in each of which about
200 persons participate. The first
edisode. known as the Episode of
the North, represents a camp of
American Indians in the far
Northwest. The little daughter
of the chief has been lost on the
march. The medicine man sug-
gests that band of trading Eski-
mos be killed to appease the
spirits, but just as the Indians are
about to do this, a missionary en-
tiers, bringing the little daughter
of the chief whom he has found in
the forest.
In the South Episode, which is
Africa, David Livingstone, the
missionary and explorer, ministers
to wounded Arab slave-raider
Shortly, after, Stanley enters, at
last finding Livingstone. He begs
the missionary to return to Eng
land, but Livingstone refuses,
saying his work is not done.
India is the scene of the East
Episope. A child is taken from
the missionaries in order that she
may be formally married to the
man selected as her husband in her
babyhood. In the second scene,
the wife, now woman, is led to
the funeral pyre of her husband.
As the pyre is about to Weighted,
with the living widow upon it, an
official of the English Government
arrives with a proclamation doing
away with the suffice, as this rite
was called.
In the Episode of the West,
Kapiolani. the Christian Queen of
Hawaii, dehes Pele, the goddess of
the Lake of Fire in the crater of
the volcano Kilauea. The vol
cano is in eruption. The priest of
Pele claims victims to appease the
wrath of the goddess. He chooses
young bridegroom and a child,
and is leading them to the crater
to be thrown into the Lake of
Fire. Queen Kapiolani comes
quickly and dehes the priest. She
ascends to the crater, and, after
the fashion of Elijah on Mount
Carmel, taunts and defes the god
