lures at the exposition will be among
the most striking and original ever dis
played. The Midway" will be located
at the Harbor View site of the expo
sition, the location of the night life of
the exposition, and every possible fea-
ture that can be conceived as appro-
pirate to an exposition will be shown.

Secretary Says We Need a
Bigger Navy.

Washington, Dec. 6. - The United
States must have bigger navy anc
must be prepared to meet any chance
of war, in the opinion of Secretary
Meyer, of the navy department., if il
Is to preserve It's national safety.
In his annual report Secretary Mey
er pleads for three new battleships
this year, and declares that this coun
try soon will fall from second tt
fourth place in the relative standing
of naval powers, if it continues the
policy of building only two ships each
year.
International peace has been brought
no nearer, the secretary declares. sc
far as a limitation of ornaments Is
concerned. To guard it's coast and pro
tect it's commercial activities, the Unit
ed States needs a permanent navy OF
forty-one capital ships-battleshi
and battle cruisers according to Sec
rotary Meyer. The present strength Of
the navy in battleships is about thir
ty-three, but four ships will soon be
retired as obsolete.

Luxurious Church Pews.

A good Wilberforce story is told by
the Rev. P. FL. Ditchfield in 1.-THE Old
English Country Squire" In the old
days the average squire believed in
taking his religion easily and comfort
ably, and his pew was often the most
luxurious in the parish. Mr.. Ditch1eld
describes it as "a cozy, sleep provoking
structure, curtained off, wherein was
often a special fireplace, the pew being
furnished like drawing room. If the
clergyman was rather too long preach
ing his sermon the squire would poke
the fire somewhat impatiently and Wig
orously. 1t is reported that sherry and
biscuits were sometimes served by a
livery servant and that the squire used
to have his letters and newspapers de-
livered to him in his pew and to read
them during the sermon.
when Bishop Wilberforce was
shown a luxurious squire's pew, with
special fireplace, armchairs and every
convenience and when the clerk asked
if the bishop could suggest any i'm
provement or the addition Of any fur
niture Wilberforce quietly whispered
to the clergyman by his side, "A card
table,"

Old Time Hanqinqs.

1.-THE Anglo-Saxons," said scientist
of the British association, 'have a
great love Of hanging, and the science
has constantly improved. In medieval
times many Of the places where they
hanged people were provided with a
kitchen with big pots of pitch. The
bodies were pitched all over and made
waterproof and able to resist the at
mosphere. Then they were hung out
as a warning to other offenders.
Hanging was also used as an an
aesthetic in connection with the old
practice of killing man for high trea-
son by hanging, drawing and quarter
ing him. This kind Of hanging did not
necessarily hurt man, for five men
hanged in 1447-gentlemen belonging
to the Duke of Gloucester-had been
marked out to be quartered and drawn
when their pardons arrived. They
were cut down and soon were none the
worse."-London Cor. Baltimore Star.

A Voracious Appetite,

An example Of eating to wager in
the good old times of hundred years
ago is to be seen in the following news
paper scrap: "a singular wager was
decided yesterday at public house in
Shepherds market. A man of the
name of Bushel in that neighborhood
undertook for the triding bet Of one
guinea to eat and drink in the course
Of twenty minutes the following arti-
cles-viz, six pounds Of tripe, two doz-
ems of large onions in sauce, two three
penny loaves, three pounds Of pota-
toes and three pots of porter, the whole
Of which, to the great establishment Of
the company, he devoured in fifteen
and one-half minutes, and such was
his voracious appetite that he exclaim
ed that if any man present would treat
him with bumper of brandy and half
as much more as he had eaten he
would tuck it in."-London Spectator.

TAKES BATH ONLY
WHEN FORCED
Miner Has Great Dislike For
Soap and Water.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Dec. g. Although
q good worker, temperate i'll his hab-
its and an excellent provider for his
family, Joseph Motifs, Of Larksville,
positively refused to be coaxed or
driven to take a bath, his family told
. justice Of the peace.
For three weeks Motifs slept in his
mining clothes, and efforts of his fam
lily to persuade him to wash were
fruitless.
In despair Mrs. Motifs went to
Squire Edward Burke and caused heI
husbands arrest, charging that he
would not take a bath. She appeared
against him at hearing, as did his
sons and daughters, and all testified
that he had a great dislike for soar
and water.
1.-THE verdict of this court" said the
'equire to Motifs, lis that you take a
bath"
Then turning to Constable Joseph
Hustled, the squire said:
Here is money to buy scrubbing
brushes and soap. Take this man tc
his home, and if he won't battle, use
what force is necessary to subjec'
him to a thorough scrubbing. Scrub
him until his skin shines"
Hustled returned in two hours and
reported that he had to force the man
to a bath, but that he had carried out
oredrs.

By far the most remarkable Of edible
flowers is that culled from the butter
tree of India. The blossoms of this
singular tree are the chief means OF
subsistence with the Bills and other
Indian hill tribes. An average tree
yields from 200 to $50 pounds of pulpy
bell shaped flowers that when they
drop off during March and April, the
hot months of the Indian year, are
eagerly gathered by the natives. They
have when fresh peculiar and lus,
cious taste, but the fragrance of them
is not pleasant and is best and most
briefly described as ''mousy." Usually
they are cured in the sun, shrivel to
one-fourth of their size and then re-
semble nothing so much as raisins.
The natives prepare them for food by
boiling or using them in sweetmeats.-

Influenza derives its name from an
