Recalling Early KIondlke.

Just twenty years ago at this time,
Joaquin Miller, being true prospec-
tor, miner, and oil around adventurer,
as well as poet Of nature, Joined
thousands of others on the long trail
to the Klondike, and wrote back that
although his party was supposed to be
one of the first to start, on its arrival
5000 claims had already been record
ed. 1t has always been mystery how
news Of the discovery of gold in the re-
hottest regions is carried broadcast
over the face Of the earth. Where
Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop
ulous towns and camps, and was SO
disappointed by the discovery and that
he at once took the long trail back.
The great majority of those whom he
Left behind returned more lsssurely, but
they are nearly all back now.-Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

Benefit Of Art Education.

A. glimpse at the development OF

industrial art has played such an im-
portant role, is full of suggestion to us,

artists. laying aside their easels and
canvases. began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results of these activities we wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In all our large cities a
few years ago. By means Of intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes Of the world were changed In
favor of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, in printing
materials from England, and in dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England in similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

Plans for the further development
of the agricultural possibilities. of Aus
tralia at the close Of the European war
are already being considered by the
government and as a fest step it is
proposed to establish federal bureau
of agriculture which work heretofore
has been handled separately by the bu-
reaus Of the different states them
selves.
To obtain first-hand information as
to how the bureau of agriculture at
Washington conducts the affairs Of the
bureau and the experiment stations
throughout oil the states, the Austria
liam government is sending A. e. V.
Richardson, agricultural superintend-
ent Of the Victoria department of
agriculture, on a six months tour
through the United States. Mr.. Rich
ardson passed through Honolulu re-
Gently on the Sonoma. He with visit

many of the experiment stations and
from his Investigations select the best
points In the American system to IN

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That Country's Water Power Is So Lit
tie Used Is a Reflection on Clti-
zens' Intelligence.

In the early days Of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
] reason, HI. Fl. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many Of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many Of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
Transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to 1t.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy Of 100000 tons, or $685.
100000 tons each year. At low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents $2,OOO,OOO.OOO yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
two-thirds Of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to $780,
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
Of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
to private enterprise, which naturally
Is reluctant to invest vast sums under
q franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with \ which our government will
emerge from this war, 1t will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified In appropriating the money.
necessary to make this development.
1t would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number of
years. that a franchise of say 30 years
should be granted, with privilege of
taking over the properties at the end
Of that time on some basis Of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such basis development would begin
at once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value Of coal Is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
nna.

The large tent provided for the
meeting on the lawn, gave ample
room for entertainment in the house,
which was presided over by Mrs.
Maxwell to the satisfaction of every
one.
A nice meadow, fine field of clover
from homegrown seed, mostly red
clover. Registered Holstein bull
year old; yearling heifers, two
year old heifers. A fine lot of grade
Holstein cows, shoats. Several
tons packed hay, 60 tons in all with
what is sold, $50 blu. corn, two fields
corn,-one for ensilage. Wheat
field not very good but equal to the
average this year. Hen house and

he was a member for three years
and was secretary two years of the

obligatory for the host to have an
essay,-a fine was attached for
failure. The meetings were other
wise conducted very similar to the
present. Questions of fertilizers,
lining and soil Improvement were
discussed. He mentioned Horace
Duyckinck and Alfred Kirk as lead
ing members. AS he was secretary
he did not take part in the debates
but learned much from them. He
also recalled the fact of Horace
Duyckinck exhibiting the 1st-prize
pair of cattle at the Centennial,
thus winning for Maryland an en-
viable reputation in beef production.
These cattle weighed, it is said, over
two tons.

Every Man, Woman and Child IN the
United States Is Charged With
a Sacred Duty.

A war machine, today, is America.
Travelling the road Of Success, 1t is
bound for Victory.
With the direction Of the machine
we have, most Of us, little to do. We
must trust the man at the wheel of
State to drive forward with speed and
care.
But with the condition Of the ma
chine itself we are implicitly con-
cerned. For its effective operation We
are every one Of us responsible.
Every American is, in fact, an essen
tial part of the mechanism which IS
to carry the world forward to new
era of liberty.
But the motor, alas. is not yet
"tuned up" 1t rattles badly. Loose
and imperfectly assembled, it knocks
and Overheats.
Why? Because so many of us are
still careless and confident, Indifferent
TO our duty as citizens. In one week,
for instance, there were reported 537
violators of the lighting regulations In
New York. There still are profteers,
still women who knit colored sweaters
for their own use, still persons who
repeat scandalous rum0rs, deterring
the Cause. Tightwads and slackers
still abound. No wonder our war ma
chine is still Intellectual. It needs the
regulation of national conscience.
How then shall we tighten up the
screws? This way: Every citizen
must see to it that his part is well
done. We must stop all leaks--econo-
mize in light, coal, wheat, beef and
sugar. We must get more mileage,
give up pleasure and profit, knit, work.
inspire others, insist that all obey the
law, and watch out for spies. The
motor must have fuel-snbscribe to
the Liberty loan. Lubrfcate the ma
chinery with contributions to the Red
Cross!
There is, in short, only one thing
upon which we must all concentrate
Success! And Success will not come
until every man, woman and child
realizes his own vital responsibility in
the prosecution of this war as q great
crusade for universal democracy.
Are you doing everything in your
power to help win the war?-helptng
in every way and every day? Do you
feel that nothing matters except VIC
tory?
If we do not win-disaster!
When everyone regards his obliga-
lions as deeply as Il he were an en-
listed soldier and fights in his own
way the civic battle Of patriotism
then. and not till then, will the Amer
lean war machine bring us to the
longed-for end-universal peace

TOUCHED Them Ali
Grim Men of War Affected by Pa
thetic Scene.
Only the Passing Of Little Coffin on Its
Way to the Cemetery, but for
Time It Held Up Traffic in,
q Channel Port.

There was some noise along the
jetty and yet more noise in the wide
and narrow streets of the town
changing street cars, whip-cracking
fiacres, yelling newsboys, honking
taxis, and soldiers and sailors tramp
ing the pavements. Noise enough and
of the kind befitting channel port
in war time; but for time at least
we heard the noise let down and the
hustle softened.
In wide street Of shops appeared
a white-haired priest with a white
crucifix held high before him. Be-
hind him was another priest reading
from book Of prayer. Two laymen
came next, bearing little white paint
ed table with little white coffin-a
cheap board coffin-resting on it. There
was canopy Of plain white boards
over the little coffin. There were a
few white blossoms on the canopy and
beside the coffin few lilies-of-the-val-
ley-Only few.
Two other laymen followed the cof-
fin-bearers. All the men were bare
headed. Three women-young wom-
en- and young mothers to look at
followed the two men. One Of the
young women was in deep black. A
group of little girls followed the young
woman. Two very old women came
last. No more than that, walking
through crowded street at two o'clock
of bright day!
1t was on us almost before we saw
it. Men took off their hats as it pass
ed; women blessed themselves. Some
times mems lips murmured short
prayer, always the women did. The
soldiers and sailors, when they were
French, saluted nearly always; the
British sometimes. The officers, If
anything, saluted more profoundly
than the enlisted men and, when they
did not stop dead still, held hand
ito their caps for eight or ten PAGES in
passing.
Two soldiers were talking with two
girls Of the streets. One Of the SOL
diers took off his cap. One Of the
girls stopped talking to say little
word Of prayer. Both soldiers faced
about and all four gazed in silence for
long after the little cortege had pass
ed on. Then the first soldier put on
his cap, all faced about and resumed
their talk, but more slowly and not
quite so loudly as before.
An English Tommy was driving a
street cara swearing Tommy that
you could hear block away. He
came on the mourners from behind.
He was in hurry, and by changing his
bell he could have crowded by. But
he hold the car in check, nursing it
so as NOT to frighten the two old wom-
en- in the rear-until they came to
WIDE square. Here there was room.
He changed his bell, not too loudly,
turned on the Juice, and hurried to
make up for lost time.
Men are being killed by the mil
lions over here, and other men who
have been there-these very men on
these streets-will. tell you that they
hardly turn their heads to see one
more killed. But child is different

Sour Stomach.

This is mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate
your food thoroughly, eat but little
meat and none at all for supper, you
will more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medi-
cine whatever. When you have
sour stomach take one OF Chamber
iain's Tablets to aid digestion.
