Power From Rain.

Energy is wasted in every direc-
ton, although during the past two
or three years considerable ingenuity
has been manifested in efforts to
turn natural resources to actual
account, according to Chambers
Journal. Thus the suns rays are
being harnessed to furnish steam for
pumping operations in Egypt and
other tropical countries; the wind
is utilized for pumping and for the
generation of electricity; but so far
no one has attempted to make profit
able use of the rainfall, although a
tremendous amount of energy is
thereby running to waste. A cor
respondent in an American journal
has recently pointed out what we
are losing through our failure to
make use of the rainfall. The dis
trict in which that observer resides
was visited by severe rainstorm,
the fall of water aggregating Alt
inches in 10 hours over an area Of
10 square miles. He estimated the
height of the rainclouds to be 5000
feet, and on that basis some 6,O00,-
100000 pounds of water fell during
the 10 hours, representing 15,OO0,-
900 horsepower hours. The corre-
spondent estimates that if this ener-
gy were harnessed, 1000 arc lamps
in the city streets could be kept ALT
Herewith for 425 days. If one rain
storm would furnish such an enor-
nous amount of energy, what would
be available if we were able to turn
the whole rainfall to account? At
all events, the foregoing interesting
computation conveys graphic idea
concerning the enormous energy at
work in nature.

Olden Tips.

That tip was easily earned which
Johnson and Boswell bestowed upon
the boy who rowed them from the
Temple stair to Greenwich, July 80,
1853, says the London Chronicle.

value of the Greek and Latin Ian
guages. Boswell thought that a
man could go through life very COM

true in cases where learning can not
POSSIBLY be of any use; for instance,
this boy rows us as we'll without
learning as if he could sing the song
of Orpheus to the Argonauts, who
were the first sailors" Then turn
ing to the boy he asked, What
would you give, by lad, to know
about the Argonauts?" Sir" was
the reply, Il would give what have. "
The answer pleased Johnson might
lily, and the boy got double fare.
'~The tips or walls" of the
eighteenth century were by no means
confined to inns. One traveller
through his country, lie Blanc, says
that. after dinner with friend, you'll
find all the servants drawn up in the
passage like file of musketeers,
from the house steward down to the
lowest livery servant, and each of
them holds out his hands to you in
as deliberate manner as the SER
wants in our inns on the like occas-
IONS" The master Of the house
turned his head away, pretending not
to be aware of what was going for
ward. Lord Hervey records that
George lis queen thought it neces-
sary to give walls in town as we'll as
in the country but the king told her
she was a fool to do so.

Quickly Mace Candies.

The following uncooked candies
are excellent says an exchange, and
not difficult to make: To make the
lonuanl, or foundation OF the can
dies, do not beat but drip the whites
OF two eggs into a small granite pan.
Stir into this gradually, until thick
enough to WORK like any cream fon-
dant, confectionery sugar. Use a

in we'll a Iew drops OF tiavorlng. Lay
the ball OF cream on granite slab,
or d Smooln uOard, over winch you
nave SIrlnAled some OF the sugar.
Work it for a few minutes. DIVIDE
the cream inlo three or four rolis.
1t it is too thick to work easily, few
urops OF milk or water will make IT
soft enough to mold. With this
cream as a foundation many fancy
candies can be made.
Fruit co. oring in orange or straw
berry can be used, and makes very
pretty candy. Dates stuffed with the
cream in several coiors are GOOD.
Chore a few dates and figs together
and work into the cream. Roll out
and cut in half-inch pieces. Roll
some cream out fiat, cut in square
pieces and told in each piece a Cali
fornia grape. Roll some cream into
little balls and press English walnuts,
pecans or almonds into them, nut
on each side. Dip nodded cream
balls into hot melted and sweetened
chocolate. An orange wood stick is
good to dip the cream with. Work
some cocoanut in some cream, but
when cutting be careful to do it
quickly, as the candy will not look
neat otherwise. Soak some raisins in
warm water and cover with cream.
Soak some prunes overnight in
cold water, then remove the stones
crack these and run the kernels
through the food chopper, adding
other chopped nut meats and chop
ped dates. Fill the cavities of the
prunes with this mixture close and
dip in the fondant. When making
waters be careful to use only very
small amount of flavoring, such as
maple, cinnamon, allspice, orange
lemon, vanilla, strawberry, mint OF
peppermint, or it will be too strong
After the cream has been rolled ou,
with a rolling pin, use a small car

The Nude in Art.

Sometimes the nude in art seems
appropriate and in good taste, but
often it is otherwise. In the works
of some OF the great masters. espe-
cially in the portrayal of religious
subjects, the unclothed human form
appears to accord accurately and ac-
ceptablv with the idea and purpose
of the painting. In the modern
school, it frequently appears as an
interloper. as something forced into
the picture and made to take part in
it against all rules of real beauty
and harmony. The other day several
newspapers printed a copy of a
painting by a French artist represent
ing the soul leaving the body Of a
man, and the soul was a woman
minus apparel. Such picture by no
possible means could appeal as an
artistic product. Its only appeal IS
it's sensational display Of the female
figure, and it's only excuse, the de-
sire on the part of the artist to at
tract attention and to make a ready
and profitable sale.
A few days ago the Potter Palmer
gold medal, worth thousand dol
lars and offered in competition in
the Art Institute of Chicago, was
awarded to a picture entitled "The
Nude" The picture, of course, was
commercialized at once. Copies of it
began pouring through the mails.
Having such a bright start, it natu-
rally looked forward to most profit
able business, and especially to an
invasion of every post card stand and
picture collection in America. But
The Nude" fortunately, had to pass
under the eyes of men with common
sense as we'll as those of exaggerated
artistic mentalities. 1t encountered
the inspection of the federal postof-
flee authorities, and hereafter, if it
is to have wide circulation, it must
travel by freight or express. Fred
erick D. Jackson, OF a prominent art
firm in Washington, who once upon a
time arose in arms in defense OF
september Morn" has declined en-
phatically to exhibit The Nude in
his establishment. His action in all
probability will be followed by many
other dealers.
Every week or two. sometimes ev-
ery day or two. we read of persons
convicted of sending Objectionable
pictures or literature through the
mails, and the public, when it hears
of such cases, applauds the action OF
the authorities vigorously. But If
the government puts its veto on OBJ
scenity under the guise Of art, many
people cry aloud with indignation.
They would have the open door for
artists of vicious ideas, and the
prison house for vice in ordinary
garb. Under the name of art they
would throw down every stronghold
OF modesty and good taste.-Roanoke

UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
Western Concern Spends S17,3OO to
Promote Thrift.

The Washburn-Crosby company
put a check for S25 into the pay en-
velope of each of the 700 men who
work in the wheat-grinding and -four
packing and loading departments of
the Minneapolis mills of the COM
pany, when it paid off Saturday, No.
vember 21, says the Wall Street
Journal. Not a man had any idea
that this extra" was coming.
The checks were drawn on the
Northwestern National bank, payable
to the Farmers and Mechanics Saw
ing Bank, and the only string" to
the bonus was that every recipient
thereof must open savings account.
After that is done the company has
no further control over the money,
and if the man wants to draw it out
and spend it foolishly or otherwise
no one will try to stop him.
But the company has added a pro-
vision that is calculated to stimulate
a desire to save. On November /,
1915, it will pay every man still in
it's employ who was included in the
original bonus, one-ha.f as much as
the increase in his deposit for the
year. up to S25 each. If the man
who starts with $25 brings it up
to SIS before November, 1915, he
will get another S25 to add, and if
his account at that time shows S4o
he will get SO to add.
The experiment is costing the COM
pany S17,500.

And Christmas will come if the

And the pantry smells so good, oh
dear!
When / open the door to look in.
And the children are saying their
prayers at night.
The boys don't pull the cats tail,
(Poor thing was always kept in g
fright.)
Yes, Christmas will come If the
signs don't fail.
Oh. Christmas is coming and wish
'twould stay,
For everything seems so nice;
The children are good the live-lone
day,
And don't have to be told twice.
And they are hustling around tt

And scampering off FOR the mail,

And Christmas will come if th'

The governor of South Carolina Is
quoted as saying recently: Il par
doned many negroes because negroes
often fail to get justice at the white
mans court house Despite these
remarks, the governor has often ex-
pressed himself as not opposed to
lynching in certain cases. If the me-
gro cannot get justice at the white
mans court" how can he get justice
from a crowd of enraged men, who
do not stop to take testimony, and
when there is often strong doubt
as to the identity of the lynched ne
gro?

1t is perhaps well that there are
no elaborate Christmas sales this
wear. The people of this section Of
the country have been hard hit this
fall. and there is really no money to
spare for foolish spending. The ma

they have for necessities, and it Is
safe to say the amount of money
spent on foolish and needless gifts
this year will be small.
