BANNER E LUZ LAW" CENTURY
Seventeenth Saw Drastic Rules Made Tor the Government of Manners
 and Morals

The Seventeenth century. according to historians, was the banner for blue laws. Legislators vied with one an- other to win either the plaudlts of the people or to provoke the wrath of the mobs by thinking up new measures for the statute books. One blue law In particular which coincldes somewhat with some of the legislation rumored to be contemplated In this country IS interesting. This was in the form or an ordinance in a Swiss city, and 1t virtually put such stage folk as JuggIers. maskers, jumpers and "such like out of business. They were pro- hlDlted from plying their profession, Tor the reason that they do things which God did not intend the human race to perform"
 Gambling was frOwned upon throughout Europe during this pc rlod, but the blue laws did not seem to make much of an impression. It IS to be also noted that prohibition movement was alive In that period. Reformers were engaged at various times in efforts to stop drinking at taverns. In a little city in France the dry wave did not gain much head way, as the leaders turned to the al- formative of reducing, or trying to re- duce, drinking to minimum on Sat urday afternoons so that worshipers might attend evening services with full possession of their faculties.

Record of Sunshine.

J. Il. Kincer Of the weather bureau
has just published In the Monthly
Weather Review valuable analysis OF
the available sunshine records OF this
country. He presents charts and
graphs showing for all parts OF the
United States the mean solar time of
sunrise and sunset, the average length
OF the dry. sunrise to sunset, for differ
ent seasons Of the year; the average
for each month in the year. OF the dali ~
amounts Of sunshine. In hours; the sea.
sonal and annual amounts In percent
age of the maximum possible; the
yearly percentage OF clear. partly
cloudy and cloudy days. Data Of this
character is comparatively scarce, for
the reason that the instruments re-
Qulred to make these records are very
delicate and require expert attention.
A great deal Of meteorological Observa.
ton work Is done by amateurs or vol.
unteers who are not equipped with the
necessary apparatus for accurately re-
cordlng the periods Of sunshine.

TWO FAMOUS YANKEE SHIPS
Bear, N Humble Service, Still
Are making Good"

Trading along the west Mexican
coast carrying panocha, hides, bees
wax and other freight is the fate OF
the once proud American gunboat Mar
blehcad.
The vessel has been sold to Jose
Delallave, Mazatlan ship operator,
by the United States government for
few thousand Mexican dollars. Del
nllave has renamed the Marblehead
the Aqua Prieta.
Thus passes the old "pepperbox,"
Capt. Bowman ii. EcCalla's ship Of
Spanish war fame, with proud record
Of achievement right up to the days Of
the last Victory loan drive, when the
Marblehcad left San Francisco as the
navy's "victory ship" remarks Our
Navy.
The announcement OF coast guard
authorities that the U. s. y. G. cutter
Bear probably never will sail into the
North again marks sharp turn In
the history Of one Of the most famous
adventure ships flying the American
flag.
After more than two-score years OF
battling with Ice foes and arctic gales,
the Bear Is under orders to make San
Diego her base and serve as training
ship for coast guard recruits.
Since the Bear, I'm charge Of Com
modore Schley, later admiral, rescued
the seven survivors Of the Greeley arc
tic expedition I'm 1884 she has been
devoted to service in the northern
seas with the navy, the frontier rev.
enue service and In recent years as
part of the coast guard fleet. She was
built In Scotland in 1874 as whaler
and sealer.
The full story Of her career would
constitute library Of stirring tales.
Among her many duties she has kept
watch and ward over the Eskimos, car
ried the law to the shores where Kip
ling said no law extended, protected
the fur-seal herd from poachers Of the
"Sea Wolf type. and given the sane
ton Of the white mans standards to
marriages beyond the arctic circle.
Natives. teachers. missionaries
traders and marines in the North have
for generation regarded the annual
cruise OF the Bear as a routine part
OF their existence.
Not season has passed-including
the present one-that the Bear has not
saved lives by imperative operations
performed In her sick bay, by the res
cue of marooned or shpwrecked crews
or by landing provisions to the inhab
itants Of isolated shores.

was strong and the house party over
the weekend made good deal of talk
by fast driving around the country In
mOtorcars on Sunday and by loud
singing In boats on the river and
noisy play on the tennis courts. That
kind of thing was new to Bingvllle.
When II was all over, Phyllis told
her mother that Gordon King-one of
the young men-had insulted her
when they had been out in a boat to-
gether on Sunday. Mrs. Bling was
shocked. They had talk about It up
In Phyllis bedroom ut the end Of
which Mrs. Blng delivered an injunc-
tion, Don't tell fatherl"
1t was soon after the party that Mr..
]. Patterson Bing sent for william
Snodgrass, the carpenter. He wanted
an extension built on his house con-
tanning new bedrooms and baths and
large sun parlOr. The estimate Of
SnOdsrass was unexpectedly large. In
explanation of the fact the latter said !:
1--WE work only eight hours day now.
The men demand II and they must be
taken to and from their work. They
can get oil they want to do on those
terms"
"And they demand seven dollars and
a half day at that? It's big pay for
an ordinary mechanic" said J. Patter-
son.
"There's plenty Of work to do"
Snodgrass answered. ~ don't care the
snap o. my finger whether I get your
fob or not. I'm forty thousand ahead
o. the game and I feel like layin' of

"The rate would be time an half

are up, but It's hard to get anyone to

"Well, go ahead and get all the work
you can out of these plutocrats OF the
saw and hammer. I'll pay the bills,
said J. Patterson.
The terms created record In Bling

Reforestino the Plains.

In the state OF Nebraska there are
twenty thousand square miles Of coun.
try that is absolutely treeless. The
soil is nothing but sand on which no
plant grows except long grass that
is good for grazing.
Anciently. perhaps seven million
years ago, the area In question was
part Of the floor OF sea. Hence. Of
course. the sand. But within compare
lively recent times the region must
have been fOiested, for here and there
are discovered stumps Of trees as
much as two feet in diameter.
Discovery Of these old stumps led
the United States forest service to be-
lieve that trees might be made to
grow there again. Accordingly. the
experiment was begun about eighteen
years ago, and. as result, about five
thousand acres Of young forest have
been successfully established. Some
OF the trees today IRE as much as
twenty-five feet high.
The trees planted In this area are
all OF them of coniferous varieties
Jack pine, Norway pine and yellow
pine. At Halsey, Neb.. Is maintained
nursery, which produces two million
Of these little trees each year.
For planting them. novel method
is adopted. Instead Of setting each
little tree In a hole by itself, a pillow
is run along through the sand. and
the baby trees are planted In row
In the furrOw.

CHAPTER TWo-continued.

The notice had been given soon AZ
Sneed block, and the endless food of
moving lights and shadows began to
fall on Its screen. The lOw.bOrn, pur-
blind intellects Of Bohemian New
York began to pour their lewd fancies
into this great stream that flowed
through every city, town and village
IN the land. They had no more COM
junction In the matter than a rattle
snake when II swallows rabbit. To
them, there were only two great, bare
facts In life-male and female. The
males, In their vulgar parlance. were
either "wise guys" or suckers !" The
females were oil "my dears."
Much Of this mental sewage smelled
to heaven. But II paid. II was cheap
and entertaining. II relieved the te.
dunn Of small-tOwn life.
Judge Croker was In the little

Spirit Of Bingville received notice to

even the young children Of the best

Judge Croker shook his hend and
his fist as he went out and expressed
his view to Phyllis and her mother In
the lobby. Going home, they called
him an old prude. The knowledge that
every night this false instruction was
going on In the Snced block filed tho

Very Sure OF God.

The shepherds and the Wise Men
came away from Bethlehem very sure
of God. They had not been unbeliev.
ers or atheists, but the sight Of the
little Jesus brought to them fresh
and mighty consciousness Of Gods
continual presence. Even the antici-
patton of Gods coming In Jesus put a
new song on tire lips OF Zachariah and
Mary, and one sight Of the Child was
enough to open all the fountains OF
gratitude in the heart Of the aged
Simeon.-Congresationalist and al
vance.

The Bings were living in n city
those days. Phyllis had been wit.
ness Of many interviews Of the kind.
All along the way of life, she had
heard the oft-repeated injunction.
Don't tell fatherw She came to re-
gard men as creatures who were not
to be told. When Phyllis got into a
scrape at school, on account OF lit
tie Irritation, and Mrs. Bling went to
see about It, the two agreed on keep
ing the salient facts from father.
A dressmaker came after Phyllis
arrived to get her ready for the party.
The afternoon of the event, J. Patter.
son brought the young people Of the
best families Of Hazelmead by special
train to Blngvillc. The CrOokers, the
Witherllls, the Ameses, the Renfrews
and number Of the most popular stu
dents In the Normal school were also
invited. They had the famous string
band from Hazelmead TO furnish mu-
sic. and Smith-an impressive young
English butler whom they had brought
from New York on their last return.
Phyllis wore gown which Judge
Croker described as "the limit" He
said to his wife after they had gone
home: "Why, there was nothing on
her back but pair Of velvet gull
lowses and when I stood In front Of
her my eyes were scared"
"NIrs. Bling calls 1t high art" said
the judges wife.
IL call It down pretty close to see
level" said the Judge. "When she
clinched with those young fellers and
went wrestling around the room she
reminded me Of grapevine growing
on tree"
The reaction on the intellect of the
Judge quite satisfies the need Of the
historian. Again the Old Spirit of
Bingville had received notice. 1t is
only necessary to add that the punch
