Curious Gaelic Alphabet.

A very curious and distinguishing
characteristic of the Gaelic alphabet
is that nearly every letter thereof is
represented by a tree While the al
phabet of ancient Gaelic comprised
but II letters, that of modern Gaelic
has IS. But with the new, as with
the old, forms the letter is represented
By a tree. The exceptions are ''g, -
t" and "u," which stand for ivy"
"furze" and heather"
The alphabet now stands: Aim,
bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath,
huath, iogh, luis, muin, DIV, peith, ruis,
suil, teine, ur, all of which is equal to
saying: Elm, birch, hazel, oak, aspen,
alder, ivy, whitehorn, yew, rowan, or
quicken, vine, ash, spindle tree, pine.
elder willow, furze, heath. In the old
Gaelic alphabet the letter III (the
huath or whitehorn) does not exist.
The alphabet is called the beth-luis-
nuin, because 3D." a." IN" and not
"a" 81, &c are the first three letters.

Got What He Wanted.

Two venerable theologians in an up
state town were very friendly, despite
their differences in belief. One, who
was about seventy, was an Episcopa-
lian, while the other, who was slight

The predecessor of the Episcopalian
in that town had always liked to be
addressed as Father n" Having
got used to this title in conversa-
ton with the predecessor the Presby-
terian minister used it several times
in speaking to the new rector, who did
not want to be addressed that way.
Several times he asked the Presbyte-
rian to omit the title in his direct
conversation, but without result. One
day an explosion came.

DEER HUNTING IN MAINE

Bangor Me-, Sept S0.-Maines deel
hunting season opens tomorrow and
will continue until the middle of De
cember. The hunting prospects this
season are said to be good, and hun
dreds of sportsmen are heading for
those sections of the state where the
wild game is most plentiful. The
exceedingly light rainfall in Maine
this summer and fall furnishes the
only dark spot in the otherwise bright
outlook for the hunter. The woods in
most parts of the state are now as
dry ais tinder-too noisy for success
full still hunting and with danger of
sweeping fires in every spark of a
neglected camp fire. Notwithstanding
the inroads that have been made in
the deer and moose population of
Maine since the railroad from Bangor
penetrated the vast wilderness ex-
tending to the Canadian line this
state still has, according to the most
reliable estimates, one-fifth of all the
deer in the country. This is due TO
the game laws, which have been en-
forced as well as an army of wardens
can. enforce them.

LIKE A HARB0R OF SAFETY
Man Who Reaches the Age of Thirty
May Congratulate Himself on
Many Things.

A medical lectureE recently declared
that in many ways thirty is the critical
age in the average mans life. Once
you reach thirty you have outgrown
many serious diseases. On the 9TH
er hand, you become liable to many
others that seldom or never attack
people in the teens or twenties.
Anemia, for instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. If you have not
had 1t by then you never will If you
have, you wiz have outgrown it at
thirty or so. Acne, too-that spotti.
ness of complexion so common among
young people, is certain to have van
ished by then.
Thirty, too, sees you out of the
reach Of the grayest of all diseases,
consumption. If yeu have shown no
sign of 1t. by then in all probability
you never will. If you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their first
attacks on anyone who has reached
thirty.

LIVE FOREVER IN MEMORY
May Still Speak to Us With
Compelling Voices.

Who has not known old men and
women, bent by the storms of life,
bearing on their foreheads the scars
of bereavement? They have lowered
into the tomb with the sons and daugh-
ters they loved the most precious
thing they had on earth. But there
was so much kindness in their eyes
and so much peace in their faces, that
we are won, we know not how. And
before the peace which their loved
dead have shed about their heads, we
bow as low as the hills bow before
Mont Blanc. For you, young men and
women, who perhaps have lost father
or mother, no precept, no book, no
example, however great it may be.
can do as much as their momory at
the bottom of your heart. if you keep
it sacred They are here no longer to
follow you, to console you, to point
out the way for you, nor to rebuke you
by raising their voices against your
errors; but in the silence their mem
ory speaks to your hearts, ana IL you
are responsive it will be seen that this
compelling voice of absent loved ones
is able to accomplish more with you
than ever their direct advice and their
material presence was able to effect.

GENERAL LOVE OF PRAISE
Common to All Mortals, and In Its
Proper Form Is Not an In
stinct of Evil.

Love of praise is one of the weak
nesses of mortals. Some there be,
who if not praised by others, don't
hesitate to praise themselves. If
praised by Others, they parade, with
no thought of the "delicacy of praise"
what others say Of them. Such deem
it legitimate to solicit the praise for
which they lust, knowing that there
are men in the world who are as
careless in attesting and magnifying
the assumed virtues of others as
many are in signing petitions, of the
substance of which they take no
thought.
This love of praise is confined to
no class of men. 1t is an incentive to
the poor man who works faithfully
for his daily bread; the average man
of wealth is not deaf to praise, even
though it may come from one of his
menials. This love of praise is not
an instinct of evil, it may be just the
opposite If 1t is born Of a desire to
be thought well Of by ones fellow
men, or of a purpose to make oneself
worthy of the confidence and esteem
of others, by treating others as one
would have them treat him.

FOR
SAFETY Is
MADE
MINERS OF THE STATE ARE TO
BE GIVEN GREATER PRO-
LECTION

Santa Fe N. NJ, Sept S0.-Several
Important improvements for safe
guarding the lives of miners in the
New Mexico mines are being tried
out, according to State Mine Inspector
r. II. Beddow, who is here from Gal
lup.
"One of these improvements he
said, sis at the Dawson mine and is
known as humidfDing apparatus. l
just inspected it. The object of this
device is to moisten the air in the
mines for the purpose of precipitating
the coal dust. l think it will be a
success as it has been used for three
or four years in mines in Pennsylva-
MIA and West Virginia. The use Of
this apparatus is intended to lessen
the chance of explosions. In New Mex
leo the air is so dry that it is quite
Important to increase the humidity in
coal mines. The apparatus referred
to is designed to do this by a radiator
device and the use of pipes which run
down into the mines and shoot out
little jets of steam.
another scheme to lessen the dan
ger of explosions is the installation Of
stone dust barriers TO neutralize the
effect of coal dust. This dust is put on
shelving and the force of an explosion
knocks down the shelves and scatters
the dust
Mr.. Beddow stated that although
the Diamond coal mine is working
seven days in the week, other, mines
in Colfax and Mckinley county are
running but four to five days a week
owing to the war in Europe. The de-
mand for coal from Arizona smelters
has diminished because the copper
mining industry has been affected by
! the war.
While in Clayton, Union county, Mr.
Reddow heard of the ew coal deposit
discovered 12 miles away. It is on land
belonging to Carl Eklund, proprietor
of the Eklund hotel at Clayton Mr..
Beddow says that so far the deposit
does not appear to be very extensive.

MHL[NERY Another Shipment Just Arrived
MEXICO NEEDS MACHINERY

Galveston, Texas. Sept ISO.-With
the prospects growing brighter for the
restoration of peace in Mexico, it is
expected that large trade will soon
open with that country, particularly
of agricultural implements and ma
chinery, Already some large purchas-
Ies of plows, cultivators, traction en-
gines, harvesters and threshers have
been made of Texas dealers by leading
Mexican farmers and as soon as the
railroads of that country are placed
In shape to handle traffic promptly
heavy shipments of American farm ma
chinery and implements will be made
to all the principal distributing cen
ters.
Another very important advantage
which dealers in American machinery
and implements now have as to the
Mexican trade is that all competition
from Germany is cut off. The bulk
of the machinery and hardware trade
Of Mexico up to the time of the pres
ent war was in the hands of the Ger
mans. In all the larger cities of the
country Germans owned large whole
sale. and retaoil machinery and imple-
ment houses. Some of them have
gone out of business as a result of the
prolonged revolution, but they are
still a big factor in that trade, al
though they may not be able TO OBJ
tain their stocks in Germany at this
time.

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
Snares, to Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With Oil.
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult Of all
animals to traps, and it is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable curl
osity that they are most easily de
ceived. The campfire set" is one of
the best. When man makes camp In
the forest the wolves, if there are any
near, are sure to note his whereabouts
When he has gone they trot up to in
vestigate the ground. and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying about. The campfire
set" is made as follows: First, hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground, jus;
large enough to take the trap, and per
haps five inches deep. Cover the trap
with sheet of brown paper, and over
this fill the hole with damp earth
Then light fire on the top of it, and
into the fire. as it grows low, throw a
few scraps of raw meat.
Should wolf come along to inves
tigate the place, he is sure to scent
the cooked meat, and will start
scratching in the ashes for it, thus, OF
course springing the trap.
One of the greatest difficulties in
wolf-trapping is to hide the aforesaid
telltale scents, so keen is their sense
of smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked in oil or fat, are used
and it is best to smoke the trap over a
"smudge" fire before setting its- and
then inclose it in a paper bag.-H
