Book Borrowers Duty.

Have you borrowed a book? Read
and return it. If you cannot read il
soon, return 1t and trust to your be
ing able to borrow 1t again. In keep
ing it an unreasonable time, you
may be keeping someone else from
the pleasure reading it may afford.
Look over your shelves and see what
you have there that should be re-
turned. The man who should borrow
so little as a quarter of 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 maya
zine. 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 protected from such acct
dents. What was worth borrowing is
certainly worth returning. Certainly
it should be clear in your mind that
1t is not yours but the property of an
other.-Milwaukee Journal.

Noble Human Faculty.

1t is a noble faculty of our nature
which enables us to connect our
thoughts. sympathies, and happiness
with what is distant in place or time;
and looking before and after. TO hold
communion at once with our ances-
tors and our posterity. There is a
moral and philosophical respect for
our ancestors, which elevates the
character and improves the heart.
Next to the sense .of religious duty
and moral feeling, l hardly know
what should bear with stronger OBJ
legation on a liberal and enlightened
mind than a consciousness, too, that
in its acts and conduct, and even
in its sentiments and thoughts, it
may be actively operating on the
happiness OF those that come after it.

What They Could.

Charles ]. Schulz of Irvington was in
Cleveland not long ago and found him
self with an hour or two on hand and
nothing to do. His mind turned to
Lake Erie, and he would have turned
his footsteps the same way but he did
not know the direction. A half-dozen
laborers, who from their appearance
were foreigners, came along. Hailing
one Of them, Schulz asked the way to
the lake. Not man in the crowd
could understand. Schulz asked them
in German, with the same result.

fellows do not know the biggest thing
about your whole city"
Comprehension dawned in one. He
nodded and smiled and gesticulated.
He said something to the others,
whereupon they too smiled and bowed
most agreeably. "Come with u.s." they
said in signs, and one took Schulz by
each arm. The others organized a
procession behind. Down the street
they went and around the corner-to a
saloon.
The cool and dripping picture on the
window indicated that the kind sold
there were big ones, but Schulz es-

The island Of Tutuila, which was
ceded by the chief OF the Manila group
to the United States in 1900, and ac-
cepted by the president, has as yet
had no appropriation from congress.
The duties Of naval officers on station

Children between the ages OF six
and fourteen must attend school. They

The people are simple and happy.
They are Christians, and the island
holds the record for the world In the
greatest percentage of children attend

The island is about six miles wide
and about eighteen miles in length.
The population is about 5000. The

Nearly every dress worn by Chi

tobacco pouches, spectacle case and a
tiny purse. Whatever else is not
there the fan is sure to occupy an
important place. The women Of
means have beautiful silk fans, hand
painted and set with mother Of pearl
or golden sticks. These are usually
incased in beautifully decorated
cases, which they attach to their
girdles. The woman of small means
contents herself to placing her more
modest fan between the collar of her
coat and the back of the neck. When
these women are not tanning them

weapon to keep off the sun as one
would use a parasol. The schoolmas-
ter uses his fan to rap the knuckles OF

WASHING IS MODERN CUSTOM

looked upon as a luxury.
Cleanliness was not very common a
century and a half ago in any coun-

people, and enthusiasts studied self

Fighting Quicksand.

In sinking a shaft there are few
things that a miner can encounter
which are more unwelcome to him
than a deep vein of quicksand. That
is what has been struck at Michigan
iron mine. In quicksand the ordinary
procedure of timbering down as the
excavating is done is impossible. In
most instances the work must be done
in much the same manner as a caisson
is sunk. This makes necessary the
construction of casing by boiling to-
gether heavy timbers equally about a
foot in thickness. At the bottom of
each wall of this timbered chimney
a cutting shoe is trimmed on the in
side so as TO assist the shaft in sink
ing under its own weight. All the ma
terial beneath the walls of the struc-
ture is in this way squeezed, or cut,
into the confines of the casing, while
the latter gradually sinks as the ex-
cayating is carried on As rapidly as
the shaft sinks into the earth addi-
tional timbers are bolted in place on
top, this operation continuing until
rock is encountered.

The Democratic managers of Louis.
vile have been informed that if il
is possible for him to get away from
Washington, President Wilson will
come to Kentucky and make one
speech for Stanley. An invitation
was extended to him by Senator
James and in the conversation be-
tween the two, the President told
Senator James that he was keenly
interested in the race Stanleyis MAX
ing and wanted to do everything in
his power to help him. This is an
unusually busy time with the Presi-
dent, owing to the complicated for
eign affairs. and he naturally could
not make definite promise at the
time Senator James called on him.
He did promise, however, that if
pressure of work prevented his COM
ing to Kentucky to make a speech,
he would write a letter which would
cave no doubt in the mind of any,
one as to the strong personal regard
he has for Stanley.
