Whale Made Waves Quiet.

The use of oil to calm troubled seas
was illustrated in an unusual way to
a skipper who recently arrived in New
York from a southern port. Every
mariner who has dripped oil from his
plunging bows in stormy weather to
smooth down invading, crests knows
how effective the trick is when done
properly.
This particular skipper sighted a
dead whale, which at first glance
seemed to be schooner bottom up.
when he was about $50 miles east of
the Virginia coast. There was a stiff
wind from north-northwest which
kicked up-a crested sea, but there was
no disturbance within mile to the
northwestward of the whale. The
skipper said in his report to the local
photographic office that this mile was
'smooth as glass;" or 'like ballroom
floor" due to the effect of the oil ooz-
ing from the carcass Of the whale and
borne on halfknot current setting to
the northwest.

Frances Duncan in her book on '.The
Joyous Art Of Gardening" says: u:
! No passion IS more democratic than
that Of love tor garden. The love Of
literature, Of art, Of music can, it is
true, occupy mind and heart with
equal completeness, but In all Of
these the Joy Of creation is limited in
evitably to the gifted few. The pas
sion for a garden, however, and the
Joy of making one may exist alike in

A Common Error.

One of the most common errors, no
ticeable in gardens, is overplantine
with trees of ultimate large size and
spread. This evil can seldom be rem
edied except by removal of some Of the
lot and this job Is too often left until
some or all are out of shape, crippled
or under-developed in parts, SO that
several years are necessary for grad
ual resumption of normal form and
outline. Leave lawns as open spaces
and plant trees only as border growths
and then, if in after years the latter
grow together the effect still is not
bad, often is good, and the open glade
of lawn is still inviolate.

Do You Neglect Your
Machinery?

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the Human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine! Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You
will escape many ills and clear up the
coated tongue, the sallow complexion,
the dull headache, the lazy liver, if you
will take a pleasant laxative made up

almost any drug store in. this country
these vegetable pellets in walls for csc

Pellets. There can be no-counterfeit
if they have the DR.. R. V. Pierce stamp

me to get around on account of feeling

OVERSEAS FLYING NOT EASY
Many Difficulties Confront Those Who
= Would Cross the Atlantic In =
an AirpIane.

In a paper read before the Institu-
ton of Engineers and Shipbuilders in
Scotland L. Desbleds explains some OF
the advantages and difficulties of trans
Atlantic flying. With regard to the
former, the carrying of the mails in a
quarter of the time at present needed
for the voyage between America and
Britain would, in the authors opinion,
be of immense benefit, as he considers
that the correspondence of a country
may be taken as q measure of its COM
merce with other nations, and the &C
CELEBRATED rate Of exchange of CORE
epondence would react upon commerce
and shipping.
Coming to the problem of carrying
mails across the Atlantic, Mr.. Desbleds
considers that existing knowledge OF
airplane construction and propelling
machinery only allows Of such flights
by reducing the strength of the ma
chimes employed to far below that OF
the airplanes now in use; consequent
~ those undertaking the passage
would run grave risks Of coming to
grief on the way. Some particulars
of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given in the paper, the proposed
machine having weight by itself OF
about four tons, which is doubled by
the addition of fuel and stores, while
a crew of ten men account for another
f1fteer hundredweight. - Chambers

The Soldiers Burden.

The load which an infantryman has

to 60 pounds, according to the length
of the march he is about to make. Any
one who has tried to march with q
load Of such size on his back will read
lily understand why ten or fifteen
miles is considered good days

his field ration, his mess kit, canteen,

1t is to be hoped that the movement
started by Mr.. E. F.. Kelly, and which
has received hearty endorsement of
all the Union citizens, to have the
Southern Railway put on an early
morning train from Spartanburg to
Columbia will meet with success. Mr.,
Kelly, together with a number of lead
ing citizens of Union, went to Column
bla Wednesday in the interest of this
movement. 1t is one in the right di-
rection. The first train down from
Spartanburg arrives here near noon,
and is the only train coming that wav
for fifteen hours preceding. This is a
matter that works a great hardship
on large number of people. 1t has
been noted, also, that it is an every
day occurrence that passengers going
to and from Union to Jonesville and
Spartanburg have to stand, owing to
the crowded condition of the train.
We certainly hope this condition can
be remedied and that at an early day.

We do not feel it necessary for us
to enter the list of defenders to the
women in their fight to secure the
ballot. The supplement to this weeks
issue abundantly evidences the fact
that they are able to take care of
themselves; and they have spoken for
themselves. The equal suffrage move
ment, for years ridiculed, has long
since passed that stage. 1t is a move
ment that is gaining momentum dailv.
and is destined to come to full power
in the next few years. The fight for
individual liberty, as applied to men.
has been one that went on for manv
centuries, and at the price of much
blood. The king used to be the "whole
show; then individual man got q
taste of freedom and the revolution
went on for centuries. In latter times
the great principle began to get hold
of woman, and victory will at last rest
upon their fight, even as it did upon
the battle for individual man. 1t is as
irresistible as light flooding a world
of darkness.

HIGH COURT RULES ON THIsrLEs.
Injuries Received From Weeds on Rail
road Riaht-of- Way Not Liability.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines Oct. 29.--Damages can
not be recovered from railroad COM
pany for alleged injuries received from
burrs or thistles along the railroads
right OF way, the Iowa supreme court
ruled Saturday in an opinion on the
case Of Ward McCutcheon, of Wash
ington county, against the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway COM
pany.
McCutcheon, who was working as a
section hand on the railroad contracted
blood poisoning which he averred was
due to scratches he received from burrs
and thistles on the right-of-way while
he was about his work.
In its opinion the high court, among
other things, said:
"Burrs may prick, stones and cinders
may bruise more or less. But these are
among the small damages which are
incidental to every active life. Such
as they are they are not hidden but are
obvious and ordinarily avoidable. They
are not perilous in any legal sense.
THE presence Of q pin on the right
f-way would hardly be deemed action
able negligence on the part Of the rail-
way company. And yet 1t would be
more hidden and difficult Of discovery
than would the presence Of sand burrs
