Neutralized Tombs.

Mukden is one of the historic cities
of the Far East. 1t has population
of about three hundred thousand, who
live partly in the old walled city and
partly in it's extensive suburbs. The
walled city is square inclosure, sur
rounded by massive ramparts, brick
built and with Enthusiastically decorated
gates. 1t was the capital of the Man
chu dynasty that conquered China IN
the seventeenth century and relgned
at Picking until the establishment OF
the Chinese republic. To the north
and northeast of the city there are two
extensive parks, with marble gate
ways, numerous pagodas and halls
for ceremonial rites, avenues Of colos-
sal figures of uncouth animals carved
in stone and grave mounds surrounded
by groves of sacred trees. These parks
are the burial places of the Manchu
dynasty, and in the operations around
Mukden both the Russian and Japan
csc commanders took the greatest
care that no troops should enter the
Enclosure and that no injury should be
done to the groves and temples

GENTLE FORCES OF NATURE
Wonderful Agents That Transform
Continents of Granite Into
Most Fertile Soil.

What adds to the wonder of the
earth's grist is that the millstones that
did the work and are still doing it are
the gentle forces that career above our
heads-the sunbeam, the cloud, the
air, the frost. The rains gentle fall,
the airs velvet touch, the suns noise
less rays, the frost's exquisite CRYSTALS,
these combined are the agents that
crush the rocks, pulverize the noun
tains and transform continents Of
sterile granite into world of fertile
SOIL
1t is as if baby fingers did the work
of powder and dynamite. Give the
clouds and the sunbeams time enough,
and the Alps and the Andes disappear
before them or are transformed into
plains where corn may grow and cattle
Craze.
The snow falls as lightly as down
and lies almost as lightly, yet the
crags tumble beneath it; compacted
by gravity, out of it grew the tre-
mendous ice sheet that ground off the

lakes and valleys and modelled our
northern landscapes as the sculptor
his clay image.-John Burroughs.

EVIL IN MANIA FOR SPEED
One OF the Creates, Defects In Mod
ern Life Is the Desire Always to
"Move Along"

1t is hurry in the morning, hurry at
noontlme and hurry at night. Nerv-
Gus bodies wrought up to a certain
speed, fret away pleasure and good
nature just to keep up the pace. Re-
taxation becomes almost painful-rest
a farce. To be in any measure con-
tent one feels it necessary to be rush
ing along breakneck. No more is ac-
complisheG, homes are not brighter,
children the happier, or lives made
mere useful by all this rush. And
yet we keep it up.
One has only to watch the crowds
going to trains or cars to see the
working out of the speed mania.
Rights of others are forgotten, per-
sonal safety seems naught, just
crowd, push and get ahead. And,
strange to say, we do not get ahead
as quickly as we would if we were to
move in leisurely manner.
Haste makes waste-we all know
that. And waste is expensive in the
extreme. Some persons are too busy
to attend to that which insures them
selves good health. They expect to
mend broken auto tire hastily and
with no skill. This is an impossible
ity, but that is not taken into con-
sideration.
And so the haste and waste go on,
and some day comparatively young
men and women let slip from their
hands all that ic ucnfl1I and no INV in
life. Their grasp has grown weak and
nothing cal be held longer. All due
to the daily rush of eating, of work
ing, Of walking everything done
hastily, with only a thought for saw
ing an hour or two. In the long run
it is no saving to rush and hurry.
The average person knows this but
doesn't care to give it too much
thought. Think it over.

Mice Ate Peace Sermon.

In an address before the Mems club
of the Tabernacle Christian church,
according to a Columbus (Ind) dis
patch, Rev. Alexander Sharp of the
Presbyterian church there, who has
just returned from two months va
cation abroad, told his audience that
the last sermon he delivered to his
congregation before he left was an
earnest plea for universal peace.
Before departing he placed the SER
mon in his desk; on his return he
opened his desk, intending to reread
the sermon, but he found that mice
had eaten his universal peace effort

from necessity. She thought of her
home in one of the larger cities up
state and of her life there when Bob
had courted her five years ago. Her
father was not rich, as wealth is re-
garded today, but he was wellto-do
and much respected attorney and an
intellectual one. If the occasion had

Jane always had the first chance at
the mail in their home. Bob left be-
fore the early delivery. He would
have just as readily considered break

opening anything addressed to her.
So she had no fear on that score. If
Brand chose to send her any COM
munication concerning their business
affairs she could rest doubly assured
that her husband would have no
knowledge of it. But there were other
letters that it was just as well to
keep from Bob. She never let her
self believe that she was deceiving
him. 1t was merely that she did not
want to worry him with the petty de-
tails of the household cares. Trades
men were so exacting and insistent
about having the bills paid promptly
and sometimes, in her plan of manage
ment, she found it convenient to let
them wait. Jane knew that her hus-
band was opposed to such tactics, but

man and didn't overlook any of these
little fine points. He heard the girl at
his side draw a deep breath.
THAT is just it, Mrs. Reynolds" he
argued. Helping him where he won't
help himself. Your husband is capable
enough and broad enough, but he's on
the wrong track. He is like the big
mogul engine at the head of a
through express, stalled at a crossing
by a slow-moving freight. The power
is there, the ability to rush ahead, but
the road is clogged by the ponderous
baggage of his own deluded ideas; his
foolish standard of morality, or what
ever he calls it. You must be the
switchman who clears the track. You
must show him the way and then he
will plunge forward.
"Why, tell you at school he was a
leader. He showed the way and we
followed. If anybody had said: In
five years Reynolds will be earning
thirteen hundred dollars year and
Brand fifty thousand he would have
been lynched or taken up before a
sanity board. What can he ever ac-
complish if he sticks to this policy of
working for his money? Work, yes.
We all work, but we work with our
brains. twenty-five dollars a week!
Why, in two years, ii he's lucky, he'll
be getting thirty-fve and in five years
fifty. And what will you have? By the
time you have paid for your home in
this God-forsaken place you'll be past
middle age, and by the time you have
saved a few thousand dollars, If you
do save it, you'll be old. What good
will it do you then? The best part of
your life will be gone. You'll be nice,
respectable couple able to buy a lot
in a first-class cemetery and finish
your days in the hope that some of
your children will do a little better
than you did.
Success in this life is so easy if you
only court it. You have to take it by
the hand and smile and joke. It's
like a wide-awake, pretty girl. No mat
ter how much you love her if you al
ways greet her with a solemn face and
doleful talk the chances are ten to
one that the fellow will come along
with a laugh and a gallant speech and
steal her. She's gone before you know

other toilet articles. For those who
have had this convenience nothing
can take its place.
When washing Bingham dresses
there are four things to remember:
Avoid hot water, strong soap, hard
rubbing and hot starch A little salt
added to the water will brighten the
colors. Delicate fabrics not much
soiled should be washed in thin starch
water.
An excellent thing for insomnia is
a buttered cracker sprinkled gener-
ously with cayenne pepper. The hot
sandwich will draw the blood from
the brain to the stomach and sleep
will be the result.
Two strong tapes sewed to the
sides of mattress will be a great
help in turning and lifting it.
An old whisk broom is a good dish
washer for kettles and pans, and it is
easily kept clean by scalding in boil
ing water.
To save splitting shortcake put a
layer of the biscuit mixture in pan,
butter the top and lay on another
layer of biscuit dough. When baked,
the shortcake will be easily separated
without any ragged edges.
Save all circular envelopes that
come unsealed. Then when you want
a label or piece of glued paper cut
off the edge that. has the mucilage on
it and it is all ready to stick wherever
it is wanted
To wash chintzes and cretonnes use
rice water, and when thoroughly
washed rinse in the rice water with
a little gum arabic added to it. Use
a handful of boiled rice to rub any
soiled spots with, but use no soap.
