ways Of Carrying Money.

When mamma gives you a penny to
buy a bit Of candy she usually either
sends you to her top bureau drawer to
get her purse or takes it from q little
box she keeps in which to drop her
spare change. But, If your mamma
were an immigrant-people who Come
to this country from foreign lands are
called immigrants, you know-insteadl
of YOU own dear mamma, she would
carry her money In strange fashion.
II she were a Swede or Norwegian she
would carry it ina p~ocketbook SO big.
that It contains enough leather to make
a pair Of shoes out of. The Italian I'M
migrant prefers q small tin tube which
he hangs about his neck by q small
chain, and the Hungarian stuffs bis
money into his long ~boots-along with
his knife and fork and spoon. Ger
mans keep theirs in q belt strapped
around their waist under the clothes,
and the French + partial to q small
brass case about IS large as the aver

MAKING PROGRESS.

While Thaw, Sulzer, Mulhall and
Mexico have been crowding for the
center Of the national spotlight, the
senate has been making Steady. prog
ress on the tariff bill, and the end
seems in sight. .
The ratification yesterday by the
senate in committee OF the whole, Of
the free list was so encouraging as
to prompt democratic leaders in that
body to the prediction that the bill
will be voted upon and passed by the
middle of next week. If that predic'
ton proves true, it cannot be long
before the new tariff law, with the
signature of Woodrow Wilson ap
pended, will be before the country
for it's judgment. II, necessary, a
conference committee will be arranS.
ed, but there are no differences be.
tween the two houses likely to lead
to any prolonged consideration Of the
bill in conference.
Meanwhile, Progress is being made
on the currency bill also, and the out
look for an early passage of this
measure is better than anybody dared
hope for a month ago.

The Eye as a Camera.

The human eye is a perfect photog-
rapher's camera. The retina Is the dry
plate on which, are focused all objects
by means Of the crystalline lens. The
cavity behind this lens is the shutter.
The eyelid is the drop, shuttle. The
draping of the optical darkroom is the
only black membrane in the entire
body. This miniature camera is self
focusing, self loading and self develop
ing and takes millions Of pictures every
day sinscolqrs and enlargedsto life size.

has 729 distinct expressions conveying

The power Of color perception is over
whelming. To perceive red the retina

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY
BOOSTS EXPOSITION.

As the time approaches Tor open
ing the Third State Industrial Elk
position, next October tia, express
sions Of approval and practical offers
of assistance are being received by
the management from every quarter.
An important and highly appreciat-
ed evidence OF this is expressed IN a
letter recently received by Manager
w. G. Gilbreath from Mr.. l.. j. Brick
er. general Immigration agent Tor the
Northern Pacific Railway company, in
which chat official requests by return
mail printed matter advertising the
exposition that would be suitable for
use in a flyer that the railway is get
ting out for distribution among all
North Dakota and Minnesota agents
Of the company. This flyer, which
will also be sent to leading land
agents in Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin Illinois, etc., will contain details
Of the objects, scope, premium lists
and other matters relating to the big
undertaking and cannot fail to be- 4
most valuable aid in giving it a wide
publicity in the quarters mentioned.
This is but another proof OF the
friendly attitude of this great trans
continental system towards North Da-
kota and her capital city, and OF the
broad policies now being carried out
by the company's immigration de-
partment. The Exposition offers an
especially favorable medium for offer,
ing to the great American public Il
representative panorama of our
states Industrial and agricultural ac-
t~ivities. all gathered together under
one roof from practically every part
Of the state. An intelligent inspection
Of exhibits will enable the visitor to
4 form a truthful conception OF North
Dakota's present status and future
possibilities. Mr.. Bricker has been
quick to appreciate this condition and
in consequence the states biggest TX
position enterprise will receive the
benefit of his wide experience in Sc.
curing proper publicity.

GAMBLING AND EFFICIENCY,

The commandant of the navy yard
clares that the administration OF that
establishment will be materially aid
ed through the stopping of the hand
hook betting that has been going on
for a long time there, and has just
been checked by the police. He says
that the handbook makers have been
the cause of a decided falling off in
efficiency on the part of operatives in
the yard, especially the younger men
and apprentices, and he hopes that
with this gambling system stopped,
at least within the yard, the force will
be brought back to its former pitch
of effectiveness, says the Washington
Star. ..,s..
It is doubtless true in any line of
work that indulgence in daily betting
robs a force of efficiency. The minds
of men who have staked sums of mo
ney on horse races cannot be effect
lively applied to their tasks. All day
long they are thinking of the outcome
of the races and considering the bets
OF the morrow. They lose time as
we'll as of touch and accur-
acy of judgment. TO them, having &C.
luired the habit of handbook betting,
the work in hand is subordinate to
the gamble in which they are engag-
ed, a means of getting the cash to in
dulge in their expensive and democrat
izing pastime.
The wise business manager in any
line of work puts a discount on this
sort of practice by refusing to en-
ploy habitual gamblers. The evil Of
handbook betting is that it is viz
tually secret. The bookmaker
comes about stealthily or has his sta
ton at a point that can be. easily
reached by the bettor. He becomes
adept at concealment and deception
and it requires some shrewdness to
uncover his operations. This very
secrecy is demoralizing to any force
Of men.
It is announced that an effort will
be made to carry the search for hand
book activities into all the branches
BIT the government, and it is to be
hopedEthat the local business men will
follow the example set in the case OF
the navy yeard and endeavor to un-
cover bookmaking activities in their
own establishments. These centers
Of gambling wiz bs found in the most
unexpected places, and It behooves
every employer. however trustful he
