PanoramaS,

The panorama was invented by one
Robert Barker Of Scotland as far back
as 1856. In 17SS Barker exhibited at
Edinburgh a view Of that city painted
around the walls of a circular builu-
ing, the first picture Of its kind ever

hibitions in London, having adopted
the name "panorama." He later on
built commodious quarters in Leices-

Lend a Hand Anywhere.

II you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billow,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors
Anchored yet within the bay.
You can lend a hand to help them
As they launch their boats away.
II you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves
Many a grain both ripe and golden
May the careless reaners leave.
Go and CLEAN among the briers
Growing rank against the wall,
For 1t may be that their shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
Do not, then. stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do.
Fortune Is a tickle goddess.
She will come to you.
Go and toll in any vineyard.
Do not fear to do and dare.
II you want a field Of labor
You can find it anywhere.

SHE'D AT HOMEMADE SOAP.
The Sight Of Il Used to Make Stuart
Robson Shudder,

A good story is told Of one of the boy
hood experiences Of the late Stuar
Robson, the comedian. It was the Gus
tom of his mother to keep a scrap bool
OF household recipes clipped from the
newspapers. She zane acros n thai
told how to make CASTLE soap and
started in at once to make it.
The recipe for this soap called for tai.
low grease and fat combined with col.
oring matter and I've, and the advan-
tage claimed for it was that it econ
Omized the scraps in the kitchen.
The first person upon whom the soap
was tried was young Robson, who was
given a cake Of 1t to use while taking a
bath. Early n morning he entered
the bathroom armed with a towel and
a huge cake Of the homemade soap. A
few minutes after wild yells were
heard from the bathroom.
The whole household ran to the spot
and, after some delay, succeeded in
forcing an entrance. There Mrs. Rob-
son found her hopeful o in a semi
state Of commissions, f1ercely dancing
around in a hysterical attempt to rid
his body of a bright tan colored layer
Of grease.
It seems that as soon as young Rob-
son had stepped from the bath the soap,
which he had used plentifully, had in
n most peculiar manner hardened on
him like cold gravy in a dinner plate
and chung to him tenaciously, utterly
refusing to be wiped off.
The combined efforts of his parents
succeeded in scraping it off, but from
that day to the day of his death Mr..
Robson had a strong aversion to home
made soap.

ADOPT AN ORPHAN.

1T HAS BEEN frequently noticed
and commented upon that Virginia
has a very large number of marriage
able bachelors, men who so far as
anybody knows will not find their
fancies turning lightly to thoughts
OF love this coming spring. But one
thing has set the men comprised in
the group referred to, to thinking
more or less seriously. They have
heard that in some states the agita-
ton for the taxing Of bachelors is
becoming a real menace to those
who would be affected by the meas
ure which would impose the tax. In
the conversations which are held on
this subject at the various places
where single men congregate it is
contended that such law would
work hardship without the proviso
that any bachelor would be exempt
who would adopt an orphan. Several
OF the Virginia elegibles are on rec
ord as not being adverse to the pro-
vision pertaining to the adoption of
an orphan, but SO far as known,
every Virginia man would select a
girl orphan and would specify that
she be not under twenty-four or
twenty-five years of age. Trust these
Virginia bachelors for being willy.
1t Is because they have been so willy
that there are so many Of them. How
so many manly looking, broad shoul-
dered, deep chested, strong limbed,
high calibered fellows, have not
passed into or through the newly
wed stage is quite mystery. But it
is long road which has no turn. It
is said the year 1913 will see some
depletions in the ranks. Like the
number of saloons, the number of
bachelors may be reduced by a proc
ess of elimination.

WORKING LONG HOURS.

"Ott3A1N0 AONU x1OOxt0s
THE QUESTION has been raised
as to whether there is any necessity
for Virginia. city with a bank
balance of something like 100000
Ito be requiring men in any of it's
departments to be working 13 hour
shifts and with no day off in a week.
This is a situation that exists in the
police department. The men alter
nate on day and night shifts and
the night men wolk 13 hours, the
day men working II hours. There
Is no provision for a day off each
week and the only time the police
officers have any available time is
when they get their annual vacation.
The firemen now have day off each
week, although they are on duty
night and day except the meal hours.
A thirteen hour day is too long for
any man to be on duty, particularly
with no entire day off during the
week. Many an accident has &C.
Cured and many a life has been
lost on account of men being on duty
too many hours. Ordinarily the
duties of the police officer are not
strenuous. But in an emergency he
must be strenuous. And there are
occasions when he Is called upon to
pass judgment quickly and moments
when a clear head is essential. The
police officer ought to be man en-
dowed with great powers of self con-
troll. After a man has been work.
ing say 26 weeks, half the time on a
l3 hour shift and half the time on a
IL hour shift and with no Sunday,
holiday or other day off, can that
man be counted upon to render 100
per cent of efficiency in regular work
or when something special arises?
Hardly. The police officers would
be justified in asking for a day off
every week and for shorter hours of
service.

It is said that he also examined viz

Cloud is watching Virginia closely
because the census Of 1910 gave his
home city few more people than
Virginia had at that time and the
county seat of Stearns county does
not want Virginia to get ahead Of it.
But Mayor Seeberger admitted that
Virginia looks like it was growing
faster than St. Cloud.

THE inception of the Virginia
park system was six years ago wnen
the board was organized and the
council appropriated $500. The ap-

$1,000. Systematic work. on a large

spring of 1910-three, years ago.
Now the park board has property
valued at $4,000. That's good
work.

The Regeneration Of organs.

Many inferior animals have, as Is
well known, the power Of replacing
various parts Of the body when lost
such as the tail. and even, in some
cases. the head. A worm may some
times be divided into various sections.
and each section will proceed to live
its separate existence Experiments
made by naturalists to obtain a bet
ter understanding in this regenerating
facility have shown that the lungs OF
frogs and salamanders have grown
again after being almost wholly ex-
tirpated Also the horns of snalls
have been extirpated with like results
Each socalled horn has an eye which
communicates with the outside world,
and these eyes have been re-grown
with the horn. though practically use
less for purposes Of vision. It Is es
tabllshed likewise that the caudal
horn or tentacle Of the silkworm. II
