Penn's InexhaustibIe Elm Tree.

When the old tree fell it was util- ized after the American fashion. A few cords of it were sent to the Penn family in England; an armchair was made from it and placed in the com missioners hall in Kensington. Hun dreds of thousands of work stands, vases, paper weights, knife handles, paper cutters, etc., were made from the remainder of it. During the Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876 a new impetus was given to the manu- facture of the great elm relics, and several blaming mills had all they could do to supply the demand. Prob ably there never was a tree so re- markable for Its versatility. Pretty and useful articles of pine, maple, wal nut, oak, ash and cherry were made from the great elm and sold to the reverential tourists from all parts of the great republic. It is estimated by the careful statistician who com piled the facts for this work that not less than six cords of hickory walking sticks, with the bark on, were made of this great elm and sold to centen- nial pilgrims from the city.-G. J. Burdette, William Penn"

Her Descrintion.

Of all "aptitudes," the mechanical is least likely to manifest itself in a feminine brain. The young woman whose visit to a locomotive works is described in Young's Magazine was doubtless interested in what she saw, but her account of the processes ob- served leaves the reader to doubt her entire understanding of them.
 You pour" she told friend, "a lot of sand into a lot of boxes and you throw old stove lids and things into furnace and then you turn the red hot steam into a hole in the sand and everybody yells and shouts.
 Then you pour it out, let 1t cool and pound it, and then you put in it a thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together and paint it and put steam in it and it goes splendidly and they take it to drafting-room and make a blue print of it.
 But one thing I forgot-they have to make a boiler. One man gets in side and one gets outside and they pound frightfully and then they tie it to the other thing and you ought to see it go!"

MADE FROM HUMAN HAIRS
Most Remarkable Series of Portraits Placed on Exhibition in Ger
 man Studio.

Portraits made out of single hairs, each hair being some 30 inches long, can be seen now in the establishment of L. P. Federmeyer in Germany. His work is considered as really the most remarkable of it's kind in the world and he is becoming known as a genius in his profession
 On the walls of his establishment may be seen hanging notices and de signs and, higher up, large bust DOT traits of world famed men. You glance at them as you would glance at any picture on entering a home, but when you are told that these pie lures were made up entirely of human hairs, without a single line of paint, crayon or pencil, you are half inclined to doubt the veracity of the proprietor. When he produces magnifying glass and you see hair, some of it chopped almost to powder, your doubts are sat isfied.
 There are pictures of Victor Hugo, Gambetta, the French statesman, and Napoleon I. There is one picture of a group of cabinet ministers. The re- markable thing about it is that each of the seven portraits comprising the cabinet is made up of a single hair, not longer than thirty inches.

Where Is Your Washinq Done?

The Woman's Anti-Tuberculosis so- ciety of Knoxville is conducting a wig orous campaign against family wash ing being done where members of the family are afflicted with the dread white plague" It has had a commit tee of women, accompanied by a nurse who is familiar with conditions among the poor, visiting homes where this disease has taken hold, and, through the medium of the press, has been trying to arouse interest in a fund to establish a tuberculosis hos pital for the treatment of such cases. Tn many instances the committee found homes where the mother and daughter of the family made a meager living by taking in washing. The dan ger of contagion was impressed upon newspaper readers by photographs, showing the washing laid out on chairs, beds, etc, in many instances in the very room in which a patient lay.

RAIS|NG TIE W|ND How Mark GiIson Paid Off the Mortgage on the Old
 Farm.
By MILDRED c. GooDRI0GE.

Mark Gilson had two objects in life; first, to raise the mortgage on the old folks farm; next, to marry Nettie Lysle. The mortgage was only $500, and, that paid, all hands, pretty Nettie included, could live very comfortably For over a year, however, Mark had striyen and struggled in the city, and his earnings continued small and his savings few and far between.
 Recently Mark had added a side line to his regular occupation and, time given there might be some prom ising results. With capital, things might have been hastened. Not hav- ing the capital, Mark worked in a small way, but learned good deal. Marks side line was old coins and rare postage stamps.
 Marks investment in coins was very limited, for values were standard and profits high. Once in while, how ever, he ran across a real bargain in stamps. He liked the fad and, in fact, had become quite an expert in phila- tely.
 Mark worked for a real estate firm. He came back to the office one morn ing quite elated over his last savings deposit, which brought his balance up to the two hundred mark. He was ready for a joke, therefore, and he smiled good-naturedly when the book keeper pointed over his shoulder and said in a mysterious whisper:
 Mark, if you want to see a real live king, take a look into the front office. No joke-honest Indian
 "A real king?" repeated Mark, skep- tically. King of what?"
 "Juana island, off the coast of Chili. He's King Asa Zib, and no mistake. Owns an island, has his national flag, coat of arms, and a royal guard when

 How is that?" inquired Mark
 Why, he brought along a lot of ore specimens, thinking he'd struck gold on his island Mir. Boyd had an assay made. His mine wouldn't pay to work"
 Just then the king in question came out of the office. Mark took good look at him. He did not il the least appear royal. He looked disappointed, dejected and his kingly robes com prised a faded check suit
 Tell MT. Boyd I have gone back to my rooms at the Prospect hotel,' the king advised the bookkeeper. q may see him tomorrow"
 Very well, sir"
 Later, Mark went out into the build ing corridor to mail some letters. As
 
 kicked something bulky. Picking it up, he found it to be wallet.
 A momentary inspection of the ob- ject revealed no money but a variety of papers. In less than a minute from these Mark learned that the wal let belonged to his recently departed kingship.
 I'd get right down to his hotel with it, if l were you," advised the book keeper, when Mark had told about his find "The old gentleman may be wor- rying about it."
 All right" assented Mark, and was forthwith on his way to the Prospect hotel. He learned .he location of King Asa Zib's apartments. The door Of the anteroom was open. Mark en- tered and sat down.
 Voices echoed through the open doorway of the next apartment. Very speedily Mark became aware that it was the king talking to his secretary. His royalty was very pessimistic, and his grand vizier" had the blues.
 'I wish I'd never left home" mourn ed King Asa Zib. We've fallen down on everything"
 Yes, best way is to go back and bury our dreams of wealth, and get down to humble tilling of the soil again." agreed the secretary.
 Its the getting back" observed the king with dolorous sigh. Money was scarce at home, you remember. I've spent about all brought with me I had no doubt of selling those mines, concessions, next years cocoa nut crop, something Now, there isn't a chance. Our scheme is exploded. Some way I've got to raise few hun dred dollars"
 Mark was interested Not only tha.. but sympathetic, for he was a hard luck" victim himself. Of sud den his eyes snapped. He uttered a great gasp.
 "A brilliant idea" he declared. ''Why, it's an inspiration" and walked unceremoniously into the next room. From the office of Boyd & Co., he said. q believe this is your property, sir You dropped it in the corridor.
 Why, so it isl" exclaimed King Aea Zib. q am greatly obliged to you. Just now-that is-when l call

Not onIySfn the United States but in severaXof the European countries do, tRa-r4prison figures bear evidence that the public is reaching a higher plane.
 In France, for instance, the prison population has decreased steadily. Tn the year 1897 it was 33,79O and each year has been smaller until 1906, the latest for which figures are available, it was 23, ,490 A 1essening in the rigid ity of the laws has had something to do with this favorable showing, but 1t is point worth noticing that the de- crease is shown in the number of long-term prisoners as well as in those who are sentenced for unimportant breaches of the law
 The total number received into the French prisons per year averaged 100000 during the period 1S97-1901. and only 368,0O0 during the period 1902-19O6. The aggregate number of days of confinement averaged 11.775.- 900 in the former period, and only 9,106000 in the latter
 Switzerland shows the same ten dency On December S1, 1900, the prison population per 10000 was 131. On the same day of 1903 it had de- creased to 120. and three years later, December 31, 1906. it was down to 114. In Japan there has been an even greater falling off in the number of persons accused of crime, but Japan, perhaps, is an unfair example, as it has been changing from the oriental to the occidental system, and it's laws have changed more than those of other

..saln on Mir. boyd, 1 will hot lorset you"
 Not in the way of reward, sir, " said Mark T don't expect that. In fact, your majesty" continued Mark, I'd like to add to your revenues"
 "Eh! Whats that?" challenged the secretary, pricking up his ears.
 Yes, sir" went on Mark boldly. You'll excuse me, but I've heard something about your circumstances; I happen to know that you need money"
 There's no question as to that, observed the secretary, with siekly smile.
 T can furnish it." declared Mark confidently, You needn't invest a cent. Say can get you two thousand dollars, or even five thousand dollars. Do 1 get ten per cent commission. if l dQ?"
 Another quick money scheme, suppose" muttered King Asa Zib
 Yes, quick-and sure,' asserted Mark. Let me ask you: what postal arrangements do you have at Juana Island?"
 "Oh, few letters go and come," ex- plained the secretary. When we send them, the steamer captains mail them at the first landing. We give them an occasional present for carrying them to the mainland"
 Exactly, an ideal, situation for my plan" insisted Mark. Here's what 1 can %: I'm in strong with all the stamp collectors. I'll arrange for an issue of Juana Island stamps"
 But you couldn't sell ten year to the natives"
 Don't need to. We'll list them as new and rare, and distribute the whole issue among stamp collectors all over the world.'
 q say, you're clever" complimented the secretary, and King Asa Zibs eyes frightened
 Clever enough to have you give me the commission to put the deal through?" insinuated Mark.
 Go ahead" nodded King Asa Zib.
 You have the royal sanction grinned the secretary, with chuckle.
 It took Mark just an hour to get a numismatist with money into the scheme. The next day that enterpris- ing individual interviewed King Asa zib, and a contract was signed, sealed and delivered, with all rights clearly defined and safe-guarded.
 King Asa Zib went back to his isl and home with a relieved mind. The philatelic world welcomed the new stamp to it's collections, and paid for it eagerly.
 It was thus that keen willed Mark Gilson paid off the mortgage on the farm, and welded the girl he loved

~oo1~oo--~-~~-~-o-~-~O level. In Italy the movement toward decrease begun but recently. In 1895 Italy convicted 1,151 persons for each 100 GOO of it's population. This num- Der increased until 1899 when the highest point was 1,430. Since then the course has been downward until, in 1904, there were only 1,150 convic- tions for each 100000 people. Italy has been some years behind France, Germany and England in the advance of education among it's people, and, naturally the result begins to show somewhat later than in other coun- tries.
 Great Britain shows rather complex results. Murder has decreased; swindling has increased Crimes of personal violence in general have be- come less numerous. Burglary has in creased. but larceny has decreased There is more fraud and less arson, forgery, and counterfeiting. In gen eral it would appear that if the British are not growing better they are grow ing more intelligent
The Green Forest tribune., 1913-03-28

Benevolent institutions care for the victims of crime and vice. In old times little provision was made for these victims. The census figures show here also the tendency toward greater enlightenment, which means moro sympathy and practical help for the unfortunate.
 The census report of 1904 points out that of 4.207 benevolent institutions enumerated in the United States only 2,166 were known to have existed in 1890. Of the number in existence in 1904 2,004 were founded in the period 1S90-1903 The number of hospitals was increased 822; children's homes and orphanages, BIT; homes for adults, 356.-New York Press.
 Such a change has occurred, of course, but, granting all that any one would claim for it in trying to account for the decreased number of prisoners, it does not detract from the force of the argument that the world is grow ing better. If the world were nor growing better such methods would not have come into vogue.
 Of fifty states and territories emu merated by the census thirty-siX show a decrease in number of prisoners per 100000 of their population The table below includes those states in which the change for the better in general is most noticeable.
