Dorcas. Home

The Dorcas Home occupies field
tnat no other institution in the state
and probably in the country occupies
Its true aim is to provide in the
county a home for it's unfortunate
children, feed, clothe and send them
to school, until they can be taken
back by their parents, or placed out
in some good family. 1t has proved
it's value in hundreds of cases.
How many children are there
whose lives are made vicious and
hopeless through the incapacity of
parents to care for them or through
the fact that the county agent is un-
able to put them in places suitable
for their care. The number is I'M
questionably not small.
One of the worlds greatest prob
lens Is to conserve human life, and
one of the most effective-perhaps
the most effective measures to
start with the child, provide for him
suitable environment and nutrition,
that he may become good and USE
full citizen. This is the problem of
the Dorcas society and this is the
aim for which it is striving.
The needs of the Home were such
that the executive board found it
necessary to build an addition and to
make other improvements. AS ev,
cry one knows building material and
labor are high, and these improve
ments have cost more than was at
first anticipated. Many friends of
the Home have helped by goodly con-
tributions, others by substantial re-
auctions on material still others by
labor furnished, and the board is
very grateful for their aid. Although
the board has made every dollar do
its utmost, it has been unable to
meet tae increased cost and find it
necessary to appeal to the public for
aiL.
The board would be glad to have
the public visit the Home at any
time, note the improvements and al
SO the work still necessary to carry
out its plans.
If after a visit, you feel that you
would like to aid this worthy institu-
ton, kindly send your contributions
to the treasurer, Mrs. ID. l.. Dens-
more, 622 North Ball street.

AN ANEcDoTE Of M'KINLEY.
His Gentle Rsbuks to a Department

SUtet 0uooFotndto.
President McKinleys scrupulous 10y.

as one Of his characteristics. 1t Is said
that he never went over the heads of
his secretaries to consult an assistant,
but held each 10 responsibility for his
department. Sy t
SOf all the events Of his administra.
ton probably none was a source of
more anxiety to him than the decision
OF the supreme court on the status OF
the colonies, 1t was a matter of great
moment whether the highest Judicial
body should uphold the view of the
administration that the constitution
sanctioned the possession Of colonies
which were not granted full represcn.
tation. There were conflicting rumors
and forecasts OF the color of the deci
sion. and these added to the tension
felt ut Washington. Shortly before
the announcement Of the finding of the
court subordinate officer Of one of

A Voice Without a Soul.

Tibets dalai lama was greatly dis
turbed by the first monograph he saw.
Edmund Gambler, when in Lassa with
the Younghusband expedition, heard
from the Nepalese resident how he had
recently brought the uncanny toy as a
present from the maharajah of Nepal
to the priest king. The dalai lama
walked around it uneasily as 1t blared
forth an English band piece and an in
delicate Bhutanese song. Then he
thought for long while. and finally
said he could not live with this voice
without soul. So 1t was passed on to
somebody else.

Antiquity of the Census.

THE idea of the census is almost as
ata as history itself. King Amasis Of
Hsyps took census Of his people 500
ye@vs before Christ The Athenian So
lon established census for the pur-
pose Of facilitating taxation. We learn
trat about 443 B. G. Servius julius
ssea census Of Rome. During the
cissos Of the dark ages the census
3f7Pped into oblivion. but was re-
Fsved again about the beginning Of the
aSgAteenth century.

chine the asbestos Is combed smoothly
and the fibers are laid parallel in uni

The next step Is to treat this mass
in rotary spinning machine. First
the mass Is Npun into a coarse yarn.
Then 1t Is drawn and spun until it be-
comes fine and quite strong. In case a
hard. strong thread is required for GER
tain fabrics the asbestos yarn is placed
in n doubling and twisting machine.
where two or more Of the yarn threads
are combined. If the asbestos Is to be
impregnated with rubber a smooth.
hard finished thread is not desirable.
For long time the problem Of spin
ming asbestos presented many diff
culties by reason OF the manner in
which the threads persisted in slipping
past one another Eventually it was
found that. under the microscope. a
thread Of asbestos displayed a notched
surface and that by means Of special
twisting the spinning could be success
fully accomplished. The result is that.
after many years of experiment, manu-
facturers nowadays are able to turn
out a single asbestos thread 100 yards
in length and not exceeding an ounce
