 Sweet Cider Barred.
 Even sweet cider, innocuous as if may seem, can no longer be purchas B. ed. Federal authorities insist that this pallio beverage has a too easy tendency to become hardened with age, especially when the cork is inadvertently left out of the contain CT.

 Twelve thousand employees in va rious trades, including shipyard workers, have been on strike in Buenos Aires. There have been pre- dictions of a general strike in this city and the police have made pre- parations to deal with violence. 1t is reported that 25 motor cars fitted for machine guns have been ordered from the United States.
 Some of the strikes have been at tended by violence. Two workmen who failed to join the strike of ship yard workers were murdered.

Socialists Strong in New Italian
 Lower House

Rome, Jan. 31.--Socialist organ izers are strongly represented in the new Italian chamber of deputies. Thirty-seven new members give themselves that description in their report to the secretary of the chamber. There was not a single organizer in the previous parliament.
 Altogether the socialists have 156 deputies in total membership of sos. All the 352 deputies outside. the socialist group are opposed to them although holding widely varying political views. The Catholic party has 1O1 members. These latter sup. ported the government and arrayed themselves against the socialists m a test vote of confidence.
 The number of lawyers and noble men has decreased. Eight peasants and 13 workmcn sit in the present chamber. In the last previous chambe rthere were no peasants and only two workmen.
 Three literary men are among the deputies: Sam Benelli, poet ana dramatist, who is now D'Annunzlo's shief rival in Italy and is known m New York especially through m. ms play "The Jest;" Alfredo bacceiii' and Siciliani.

been won through strategem. The "silver lining" may not be seen as a spectacular display that you can point to and say, "See, this is what l won through Dreasting the dark clouds of diversity" but the inward exaltation of soul and strenpthcn. ing of will from this buffetjng with circumstances is your ample re- ward.
 It will not do to too greatly Crest on our laurels." You know 1aureIs like any other leaves will dry up and crumble unless watered and tend ed by our constant vigilance. The family tree, even though made up of many laurels, can peter out"
 There is misdirected zeal, too strenuous endeavor, that sometimes causes us (no matter how holy the graiD to peter out physically before attainment of our desires. What a lot of discipline and reinstatement it takes to make us "all around" sen sible!
 The question of whether or not money helps us is mooted point-a question eternally discussed. One wise man says that it can never give us happiness but that it is the key that unlocks for us the doors to knowledge and we'll being. Those of us who have striven endlessly sometimes wonder if money would not have made our attainments of certain goals easier and left us more strength to carry on.
 Links in the Chain.
 Our better reason, however, whis- pers to us that affluence and too much ease would probably have put us in the "petering out" class. There's nothing like the urge of necessity as a spur, but while we hold aloft the torch for others to follow it might be wise to advise tempering ones efforts lest the physical body be consumed before the mental and spiritual torch becomes we'll lighted. Unless we can be beacon for some other soul, our light is hidden under the proverhial bushel.
 We deserve to futilely peter out if our ends and aims are purely sell fish and material. Yet we hear a long and constant vail from the dis appointed ones of the earth who do not yet realize that one gains by giv- ing, that one grows by exercise. When the spark of unselfishness pe- ters out for personal gain and fame then indeed is our taper fast burn ing down to the coket.
 There must be no diminishing of our efforts. Hang upon your mental walls the old truth. "We cannot stand stil. We must either progress Or retrograde." If is necessary for both novice and seasoned veteran to continually bear this in mind.
 Remember, that today's strong ef- :ort will tide you over tomorrow's weak place caused by the delinquent cies of others. Those of us who are strong from long combat must be reacy tc hold the line in order to keer our weaker brethren from pet erine out before they, too, have gain ed resistance and strength.
 Strengthen the chain by keeping your children at their tasks, their duties, their schools. There comes a time in life when we have to get down to regular trench warfare. There will be no tutors" on hand to help US, The inherent will pow CT we have gained through stress is the only general that can take us over the top. Don't be dillydallying parents.

 When financial disaster over Sok the family these girls were un- 'ble to make living in any way ex- hi by common labor.
 1 This failure on the part of the hrents to keep children steadily at |hatever they undertake weakens heir ability to put into use and ractice the shreds of education and howledge that they must of neces- |ty have imbibed even in their in- ermittent rubbing up against educa- ion. It gets to be a joke among ensible people, the reasons and ex- hses parents make for these "birds i passage" pupils. It is not joke, |owever, to parents and children themselves. They feel in many pro- Iounced and intangible ways this illydallying manner of going ahead yith steady purpose.
 Homes are lost, families degene- ate and generations wax and wane n power due to this proclivity to peter out. Two or three genera ions will strive manfully to estab- ish a stable family heritage, and long comes the next with less will over and the family "peters out" How often we see lovely old homes ointed out as "once" belonging to his or that family, now occupied by arvenu millionnaires, and hear the tatement, "The present generation f the B. family lost out through hiftlessness or drink or trickery"- 70 matter what, the family has pet red out.

First Autos Were FOrerunnerS of
 the Locomotives

Few persons, perhaps, realize that the first automobiles were ali steam propelled and really were the fore runners of steam railroads. It was back in 1769 that the first landmark appears. in the steam artillery car rage, the product of a Frenchman, Capt Nicholas Cugnot of the French army, who had presented complete working model of it in 1763 to the |king of France.
 Cugnot was soon emulated by two |Englishmen, John Watts and Sym- ington, whose steam carriage came forth in 1786; and by two of his own countrymen, Dallery and Se- gum, who constructed 8 steam car flage with a tubular boiler in 179O.
 \, Gurney Appears.
 me nineteenth century ushered in Sir Goldesworthy Gurney's commo- olous steam coach, which for three years made regular trips from the bank of England in London to the suburg of Paddington; and in i'm mediate succession came a number d "Gurneys," chief among which was the improved stage coach con- sSsructed by John Squire Ga pupil of pr Goldesworthy) and Col. Mace aVne' an Italia nengineer.
 m the meantime, the ideas of our lore1athers on this side of the ocean nad not lain dormant. The contem- poraries of Capt Cugnot had the ,oiiowlng prophetic statement placed Deiore their eyes one day in the New iork Commercial Advertiser:
 The time will come when people wlll travel in stages moved by steam englnes at fifteen to twenty miles Sn hour. A carriage will leave washington in the morning, break .sst at Baltimore, dine at Philadel- pnla and sup in Ne wYork. A steam englne will drive a carriage 18O mlles in twelve hours"
