Are You a Book Borrower

Have you borrowed a book? Read
and return it. If you cannot read it
soon return it and trust to your being
able to borrow it again. In keeping it
an unreasonable time you may be
keeping some one else from the pleas
are reading ID may afford. Look over
your shelves and see what you have
there that should be returned. The
man who should borrow so little as a
quarter of Il dollar from a neighbor
and fail to return it would not invite
respect. Yet it is quite as bad not to
return a book or magazine. Who has
not had anguish of heart to have some
choice. dearly priced volume returned,
soiled or torn, with pages lacking?
That Tom upset his inkstand" or
"the baby got hold of it. or similar
excuse does not mend the matter.
The borrowed book should be protect
ed from such accidents. What was
worth borrowing is certainly worth re-
turning. Certainly it should be clear
in your mind that it is not yours, but
the property of another.-Milwaukee

Rapid Pie MAKING,

The fastest machine devised for max
ing pies is operated by foreman and
six assistants and will turn out 1,S00
pies an hour, according to the World
Work. The machine is provided with
eighteen revolving pie holders which
move around an oblong table or plat
form; two crust rollers, one for the
lower and the other for the upper
crust; a set of four automatic moist
ening brushes and a pie trimming
wheel. The six operators Of the ma
chine place the crusts, fill the pies and
remove them from the table when the
operation of moistening and trimming
has been automatically completed. A
smaller machine, the working principle
of which is similar, except that the ia
BILE is round instead of oblong, will
turn out GOO pies an hour when OPP

Thick and Thin Shells,

There are several kinds of high ex-
plosive shells, which have been design
ed for various purposes. For instance,
there are the shells the case of which
IS very thin. so that their capacity for
containing explosive may be increased.
These explode instantly at the slightest
contact and are used as mines, or, in
other words, they cause damage not
by the impact of their mass but by the
ferceness of the explosion. Another
kind of explosive shell is made by in
creasing the thickness of the steel case
and reducing the charge of explosive.
The explosion Of this missile is calcu-
lated TO take place a little after con-
tact. This type is used for the destruc-
ton Of solid defenses. like walls, earth
en- works. etc. as the thickness of the
case and the slOwness Of explosion per
NIT them to penetrate the fabric before
exploding.-London Standard.

The Bastille. whose fall July IA, 1889.
marked the birth of French liberty
was built in 1869 to defend Paris
against the English. 1t is us state
prison, however, that the grim fortress
is remembered and chiefly on account
Of the mystery of one romantic prison
er, the Man In the Iron Mask" who
was "mterned' there in 1879 and died
in 1903. AS to who the prisoner actually
was scarcely two authorities agree, but
among the almost innumerable claim
ants" have figured the Due de Verman-
dOis. son of Louis XIV: the Due de
Beaufort. supposed son of Anne of
Austria by the Duke of Buckingham; Il
twin brother of Louis XIV. and Count
Matthiol. secretary of state to Charles
III. The last two may be termed the

Beetles of Prey.

Many beetles are bugs of prey. Pre-
dacious insects generally have wonder
full appetites. The so called "green
fly" otherwise popularity known as
golden eyes" is, as larva, tremen-
dous gobbler of plant lice. 1t thinks
nothing of devouring 100 of them. one
after another, at a meal. Thus insects
themselves do much to keep the num-
bers of other insects down. But not
even with their aid nor with all our
ingenuity in devising methods of de-
struction could we maintain a sue
cessful fight against injurious bugs
were it not for the help given by birds.

time TO GET BUSY
Republicans Should Organize for
Victory Now.
Immense Majority of Business Men Of
the Country Will Welcome Re-
turn of Good Government
and Craftsmanship.

This suggestion is being pressed
upon business men: Organize for
next year. You elected Mckinley
on business issue in 1896, and you
can elect man in opposition to Will
son if you go about the matter
promptly and in the right way. Stand
together, and the fights won
The business interests undoubtedly
elected Mr.. Mckinley. States which
had always gone Republican went Re-
publican that year by unprecedented
majorities, while several states which
had never voted for a Republican
presidential candidate improved that
opportunity. 1t was a victory achieved
under shibboleth which appealed d.
rectly to business interests, big and
little.
The silver issue as presented by
Mr.. Bryan sent a chill up and down
the spine of the business man wher-
ever he resided. And the greater his
own interests and the interests Of
others in his vicinity, the greater his
quake. The threat of fifty-cent doh
lar first upset him, and then nerved
him to resistance. He came into &C
ton without much urging, and once
in action worked with all his might.
Next year, however, the issue will
not be so clear cut. Business is dis
gruntled. but on several accounts.
Manufacturing has been hit by the
new tariff Corporations have been
disguSted, both by the new trust reg
ulations and by the organization of
the federal trade commission. Bank
ing circles are not altogether assured
of the efficacy in it's present form of
the new financial measure. While
business unrest is general, it is not
referable to any one thing. So that
to write a platform, make nomina-
ton and conduct a campaign bring
ing all business interests into line
will be no easy matter.
Mr.. Wilson won his nomination at
Baltimore through the influence part
ly of his environment. Although he
had made his peace with Mr. Bryan,
he was accepted by many Democrats
who three times had rejected Mr..
Bryan because of his, Wilson's, resi-
dence and associations. 1t was felt
th4t a man who lived in New Jersey,
manufacturing stronghold, and next
door to New York, the great finan-
cial stronghold, would be safer in the
White House than Mr. Bryan, who
rad come to distinction and influence
in an Agricultural helt educated on
distrust of and opposition to nearly
everything east of the Mississippi
river.
But many of these Democrats are
now either in open opposition to Mr..
Wilson or sulking, and upon their
number depends in a measure next
years result at the polls. Republicans
must begin at once to prepare for
victory.

New York. April 6-(SpeciaL)-The gov- ernors of the New York Stock exchange have proclaimed to the world that condi- tions in the United States are satisfactory and that business has begun to improve This is the view taken of the action of the governors by many of those who while leaders in finance and industry, yet have little or nothing to do directly with the New York Stock exchange. There is considerable confirmation of this view which is discovered in reports and an- nouncements made by those who are rec ognized as leaders. Almost coincident in point of time with the action of the gover- nors of the stock exchange. Frank A. Vanderlip, speaking for the great institu- tion of which he is president, asserts that business has begun to improve and the outlook is now very encouraging. Charles H. Sabin. president of the largest trust institution in the world, intimated this morning that his own experience within the past few weeks and the character of the business done by his institution jus tify the belief that the favorable turn has come in American business life. From Chicago there came not only the encour- aging intimation which James A. Forgan was glad to give to the public, but also informal reports telling of large in- crease in the activity of the steel indus tries.
 From Schenectady there came reports, only few hours after the governors of the stock exchange declared the institution now to be an open market, which told of
