Not Much as Bows.

When parents get discouraged over
the lack of study and the frequent &C.
centricities that their boys manifest,
or even over their physical misfor-
tunes or poverty, they ought to find
hope and consolation in the thought
that Isaac Watts was constantly
scolded for his absolute indifference to
books and boys sports; Charles OAR
win showed such an eccentric tend
ency to Observation-Disclosures that on
one of his lonely tramps he walked off
an embankment and nearly lost his
life; Ralph Waldo Emerson was a
hopeless dreamer; the great Demos
themes was a fearful stammerer; Abra-
ham Lincoln, Elihu Burritt, Charles
Dickens and Andrew Carnegie were
the poorest of poor children; Anthony
Trollope, the writer, was hopelessly
shy and the butt of his school; Audu-
bon of bird fame was put down by all
his elders as a fool; Caesar and Ma
poleon were epileptics; Oliver Gold
smith was a hopeless sloven, and
Thoreau was adjudged by everyone
to be a crank. The queer boy does
not always grow to be a man of no
worth.-Selected.

That the use of quinine is rising In
popularity is amply borne out in
statement laid before the legislative
council of India, recently. This state

this medicine were just over forty-hve

In 1914 the sales had increased to close

REQUIRE REST FROM LABOR
Men Make Mistake When They Keep
Their moses Too Close to
the Grndstone."

Keeping ones nose close to the
grindstone" is a popular phrase which
describes what a great many people
think is the most efficient way of &C
complishing any given task. Accord
ing to this idea. the most work can be
done in the quickest time by keeping
everlastingly at it with just as few
Interruptions as possible.
Science now believes that it's all
mistake to keep ones nose too close
to the grindstone. Careful studies
made in a large number of manufacture
ing establishments led to the conclu-
sion that the most work is done with
the least risk of accident only when a
man giveshis mind and body frequent
[ portunities for rest.
Records kept in English factories
where men are engaged in soldering
tins show the amount of work done
during each hour of the day to be as
follows:
In the morning-first hour, ia tins !;
second hour, 1917: third hour, 1859;
fourth hour. 1877; fifth hour. 1873.
In the afternoon-frst hour, 119;
second hour, 165; third hour, 1853;
fourth hour, 1856.
These tables agree with those OF
other factories in giving a higher out
put for the second hour than for the
first, this being due to the facility
which comes with practice.
But the chief point which they drive
home, when studied in connection with
the number of accidents is that after
the second hour of continuous effort
both morning and afternoon, there is
a continuous and marked decrease in
the output and a corresponding in
crease in the frequency of accidents
The factory owner who wants to gel
the most out of his employees will
break up their work day by frequent
periods of rest.
In this investigation 1t was impos
sible to record the cumulative effects
of fatigue from day to day, and from
week to week, but there was evidence
that the physiological products OF ia
tigue cannot be got rid of in working
day This means a growing predispo
sition to disease and to the form o.
mental excitement which results il
social unrest.

postoevski,s Answer.

In the doctrine that each is respon.
sible for all, that suffering is a puri.
flying discipline. and may be vicari-
Gus as well as personal, and that
through such a discipline man may
find God, is the answer of Dostoev-
ski, the Russian novelist, to the rid
die of the ages.
The words he put into the lips of
Father Zossima may be taken as sum-
ming up his message to mankind:
Brothers, have no fear of mems
sin. Love a man even in his sin, for
that is the semblance of divine love,
and is the highest love on earth.
Loving humility is marvelously
strong, the strongest of all things. and
there is nothing else like it,

Big Surplus for CRANKY.

The report of the CRANKY CONSOLE
dated company for the nine months
period ended March 81 shows that
after paying bond interest of $167 ,342
and dividends of $674,933, the COM
pany added to its surplus 1851, 5ss.
The total net income for the period
was $2,373 ,s63, of which all but $780,
1877 derived from the treatment of
customs ores, was net operating profit
of it's own mines at AnyoX and Phoe-
nix. B. C.
The total copper production of the
period was 2S,122,261 pounds, of which
1871 ,736 were produced at the Any
OK smelter and the balance at the
Grand Forks plant. The Anyox mines
from 51S,3S1 tons of ore yielded 1885,
951 ounces of silver and 2S,254 ounces
of gold. The cost of the copper pro-
duced and laid down at New York
from Anyox was 1896 cents a pound
and from Grand Forks 1871 cents, as
compared with costs of 9.72 and 1906
cents, respectively, for the six months
period ended December 81, 1915. The
higher cost was due to shortage of
power during the extremely cold
weather in January and February, and
consequent decrease in production
during that time.
1t is stated that the stock of unsold
copper in New York amounts to H.
093,31S pounds, and that it is inven.
toried at 20 cents a pound. Spot cop

PEACE RELATIONS
WITH GERMANY
SOME ADVISERS BELIEVE IN
TESTING GOOD FAITH OF
THE kAIsER'S PLEDGES.
NO DIPLOMATIC BREAK NOW
chant Ships-WiIl Make No Reply
at Present-President Is Dis
pleased at Conditions.

Washington.-The probability that
diplomatic break with Germany has
been averted, at least temporarily, was
strengthened Saturday when the Off
cial text of the German note laid be-
fore President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing was found to be almost iden-
tical with the unofficial version sent to
the United States in press dispatches.
Watch Keeping of Pledges.
Officials had indicated that should
the official text bear out the unofficial
version, they thought it improbable
diplomatic relations would have to be
severed, unless there should be further
attacks upon merchant ships in viola
ton of the new pledges given.
Disappo ntment Indicated.
Disappointment has been indicated
over certain features of the German
reply and some high officials believe
that it at least can not be accepted
Internationally. The president and
Secretary Lansing studied the text
carefully today, going very infinitely
over the phraseology and the shades
of meaning that might be attached to
various expressions.
Opinion as to whether the note re-
quires an answer seems divided. So
far the president has not indicated to
any one his final judgment in the mat
ter.
May Not Reply at Present.
1t is entirely possible that no reply
will be sent for the present, at least,
and that the president will maintain
complete silence for a time, allowing
Germany to demonstrate on her own
behalf the good faith of her intention
to carry out the policy indicated in
her new orders to submarine com
manders.
Although the president realizes that
the promises given are the cardinal
elements of the note, he is understood
to be displeased over the language
used and the conditions apparently at
tached.
Should the note be accepted as sat
isfactory and reply sent it is said
it will take the form of a notification
to Germany that the United States has
decided not to sever diplomatic rela.
lions so long as the new submarine or
ers remain effective and are OBJ
served.

To Improve Cattle In RennaI-

The decadence of cattle in the prov
ince of Bengal forms the subject OF
an interesting monograph recently
published by the director of agricul-
ture for the province. The cause of
their decadence he attributes partly
to climatic conditions, partly to the
lack of grazing grounds, and largely
to the needless breeding policy of the
Bengal cattle owner. His chief rec
concentrations are the provision of
good bulls and the establishment of
superior milk-yielding cows, draft
bullocks and bulls. The report is il
Illustrated by most interesting collec-
ton of photographs descriptive of the
various species of cattle ranging from
the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal
from the record bull bison, measuring
is hands 21s inches at the shoulder
and 10 hands inches at the hump,
down to the humble lineaments of the
Nadia calf which at sixteen months
measured only SO inches in height be-
hind the hump.

In PRIMITIVE RUSSIA
REGION WHICH CIVILIZATION HAS
NOT REACHED.
Inhabited by Nomadic Race, Who Live
as Their Forefathers Lived Through
out the Centuries - Have
Many Peculiar Customs.

Interest is still kept up in Great
Britain in other things besides the
war. The other day, for instance,
Mr.. f. A. Holiday. a traveller, gave
an address before the Society of Arts
in London ON the Uralak, a province
in Asian mid-Russia, northeast OF the
Caspian sea.
Valuable oil fields exist here, and
also deposits of sulphur and other
minerals useful in peace and war.
Mr.. Holiday said that the land was
very fiat, and there was almost an
absence of trees, which caused the
fuel problem to be somewhat acute
The advent of western civilization fur
nished the inhabitants with certain
amount of firewood in the shape of tel
egraph poles and stakes used TO mark
out claims.
The Cossacks, had, however, taught
them to respect the former, though
not in some cases the latter. The
original inhabitants were the Kirghiz,
an essentially nomadic race, who
lived in dome-shaped tents made of a
light wooden frame covered with
camel skins.
The tents had no furniture, but
sometimes beautiful oriental rugs or
carpets were placed on the floor, "a
space being left on which fire was
made.
When the Kirghiz used the tele-
graph poles as firewood, they did not
take the whole pole away, but each
man Clipped off a piece until at last
/ hn haI
A prince was a man with 100 or
200 sheep, and a prince in winter
generally lived in a house built OF
bricks made out of the sand and
baked in the sun.
The houses were sunk in the
ground for warmth in the winter.
They had window frames and doors,
but the firewood question was so acute
that when the people went on trek
in the summer they took the window
frames and doors out and packed them
on the backs of camels for fear the
people who did not trek would steak
them.
The Ural river was a great source
of wealth to the Cossacks, for it was
we'll stocked with fish. At one time
barge crossed the river, but the
Cossacks would not allow it to cross
after dark, as they said that the fish
wanted to sleep as we'll as anybody
else.
The outbreak of war put great
check on the developments of the
Uraisk and of other oil fields. A
great deal of prospecting and pre-
liminary work was necessarily stopped.
and companies which were already
well established met with fresh diff
culties.
In some places gas holes" around
which there was often a deposit of
sulphur, were met with. Some of
these spots were venerated by the
Kirghiz, who prayed round them and
then erected little sticks, to which
they tied little pieces of cloth, as was
the manner of simple peoples.
On one occasion his driver stopped
and prayed by one OF these gas
holes" and threw a few kopeks on
the ground, which, he said, were for
the religious authorities when they
came along. Asked if there was not
danger of someone stealing them, the
driver replied that if he prayed for
: relief from sickness and trouble, and
then someone stole the money, the
: thief would get the trouble and sick
ness, so there was no danger.

Oreqon Coal MINING.

About sixty years ago coal was first
mined in the Coos bay region of Ore
gon. The first cargo was shipped from
the Empire basin, but the discovery
of coal near the head of Coos bay soon
transferred the point of production to
Newport, which remained the princt>
pal mine until within the last decade.

Hill and Sullivan Mining and Concen-
trating company on May paid two
dividends of SS1 ESQ each, or $163,5 500
in all, being 80 cents a share on the
company's issued capital. These divi-
dends are numbered 227 and 22s, the
first being designated as the regular
dividend and the latter as an extra

ORDERS TO
ARMY AND NAVY FAR AWAY
Chiefs at Washington, D. c., Talk to
Nicaragua-The- Worlds
Best system.

Washington.-A working system of
wire and wireless communication, said
by army and navy experts to be I'M
equaled by that of any other nation,
was effected recently by the navy de-
partment as an adjunct to the prepar-
edness program. 1t was inaugurated
by a wireless telephone conversation,
the first of it's kind ever held, during
which Secretary Daniels, seated at his
desk in the navy department, gave in
structions to a commander on the
bridge of a warship, operating against
a theoretical enemy far off the Vir-
ginia capes, and received reports from
him. simultaneously other officials
of the department were in telephone
communication with all the navy yards
and stations in the continental United
States.
The plan represents more than a
year of continued labor by naval Of
ficers and experts of the American
who have been cooperating with the
department on the invitation of Sec
rotary Daniels. 1t was pronounced a
thorough success by officials who wit
messed its execution.
To Nicaragua in Four Minutes.
San Diego, Cal.-Orders we're trans
mitted across the continent by long
distance telephone direct from Rear
Admiral William Benson, chief of ma
val operations, at his desk in Wash
ington to Rear Admiral William Full
man, Pacific reserve fleet commander
here.
The rapidity with which orders can
be transmitted by telephone was indi-
Gated when instructions were received
at Point Iona in this manner from
Washington and thence flashed by
wireless to the cruiser Raleigh at
Corinto, Nicaragua, within four min
utes after the message had been filed
at the national capital.
Phone Orders Across Continent.
Vallejo, Cal.-It took just two min
utes for Captain F. F. Bennett, com.
mandant of the Mare island navy yard
here, to call up Rear Admiral William
S. Benson, chief of naval operations
at Washington, d. c., on the telephone
and ask and receive some naval infor.
nation. 1t was a preliminary tryout
of official tests, of direct transcontin
entail naval telephoning and telegraph
ing.
