Great pubic interest Is being

sas been prosecuted for sneezing in

Fezs7ezE Of Muhihausen, a small town

AZ highly respected by his fellow

pck4ceman arrested him on q charge
Of creating a disturbance. The local

mann on a charge Of gross misde-
rnsano4 and rendered himself q
public nuisance. After g lengthy trial
Furtmann was acquitted. The police
authorities appealed against the de-
cision. and new triai Ia necessary,
Furtmann announces that he wf1l

sneezing less loudly than was the
case when the arrest occurred.

To Promote Long Living,

According to a writer in a medical
journal, probably one-third of the
English agricultural laborers who
survive the age of thirty or thirty
Ave die Of paresis. The figures look
exaggerated, but. the intellectual bar
renness Of those laborers Is almost
incredible, and the monotony of their
lives is perhaps not the least of their
hardships and misfortunes.
It is well known that brain work
ers live long as a class And it has
not yet become the custom to draw
the "deadline" against them at forty
five, as is the case in many occupa-
tions at present. The brain must
have blood to be healthy. Thinking
gives 1t free circulation.
The American farmer in the pres
ent day is reader and thinker, in
touch with all the movement Of the
world. Telephone, trolley, rural de-
livery keep him from isolation and
monotonyI and hts outdoor life, with
his mental ami social activity, should
give him better chance Of long life
than the merely sedentary brain
worker has.-Everybody's Magazine.

Tho Indian a 'SociuItaA

The Indian Is Socialist He prob
ably would not recognize hts senti-
ment by that name, but 1t Is true new
ertheless, and he represents Social
ism in the fullest sense Of the term.
The Indian believes IN co-ownership
Of ali necessities Of life, even to the
land itself He further believes that
so long as there Is anything to divide
1t should be divided freely and equal
~. In his natural state the Indian
believes that If you have food in your
house and he has none you should
divide. If there Is corn In his crib
and none In yours, 1t is his duty to
divide with you. IfNthis you refuse
to do you are not. q friend of his.
The socialistic principle has been i'm
bedded in the Indian life as long as
there has been tribal existence in
America. and it Is still extant in the
Five Civilized Tribes, where the In
dian has not become fully natural

gotten the ways Of his ancestors.

DYEiNG REAL FLOWERS.
How the Ingenious May Produce
Some Bare Floral Effects.

Every once in while some florist
gets busy and puts some odd-colored
blossoms in his window as an extra
attraction to the display" said club
man. II just noticed one down the
street 1t consisted of a bunch of Inc.
possibly green carnations. At first
glance good many people thought
they were made of paper. but they
got interested when they found out
that they were natural Now, any
body who wants to have any of these
freak flowers can get them by buying
some kind Of aniline ink. any color
desired. Carnations are the easiest
to color-white ones of course. Put
their stems In a glass filed with iriS.
Their stems are soft and In short
while the larger veins in their petals
are filed with the ink. Don't let them
absorb too much color; they're prettier
with just so much. Then remove them
and put them in a vase Of salt water.

to this scheme also; In fact, any white
self-stemmed flower may be used"

Bridges and Beauty.

If the two hideous structures
which span the Thames at Charing
Cross and Cannon Street for the use
of the South Eastern Railway were
removed London would now have
succession Of bridges from Putney to
the Pool that might suffer a compari-
son with the bridges of Paris, Rome
and Venice. The new bridge at Vaux-
hall is not so handsome as its neigh
Dor at Westminster, nor SO gauntly
picturesque as the "auld brig i'm
mortalized by Whistler, which 1t
supplants. It has, however, q strong
and solid beauty Of its own, and lies
slenderly and gracefully across the
water. like q gigantic twig bent over
1t. 1t is the first bridge which has
been built by the County Council,
and will, therefore, be the first bridge
over which the despised tramway
will have free access. 1t will restore
to this part of London some of its old
prestige as a pleasure resort, and we
may see a revival of the Vauxhall
Gardens of the Restoration time IN

the road in which it was necessary to
make use of horse and q donkey.
We got the animals well trained for
their parts and on the opening night
they gave a Arst-class performance.
On the following night, however, we
were unable to get the donkey to
move out of the wings. Prince, the
horse, went on without any trouble
whatever, but Jack-that was the
name of the donkey-could neither be
coaxed nor driven out before the foot
lights. We finally had to go on with
the performance with the donkey left
out. After the show was over we
got together and tried to find out
what had been the matter. Nobody
could offer an explanation until one
of the stage hands happened to pick
up a program, which showed that
Princes name was printed in the same
kind of type we used for Jack. We got
q new lot OF programs the next day,

Of peanuts amount annually to be-

10000 R0 bushels each year.
''Tl.e seeds of the peanut are plant

for harvesting the farmer takes acul-

pose and starts down the long row.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the tap root
of the vine. The same process is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine. The main root being thus sew

vines are lifted into shocks like corn.

East Washington is rapidly he

thought by the fathers of our coun'

eastward. With this thought in
mind the Capitol building was
faced in that direction.

the new Eastern High School NJ
section has advanced as rapidly as
the Eastern section of Wasnng

is the magnet for attracting hun

CHAPTER LII.

At . o'clock the moon was on
the lake, and several couples,
announcing their need OF exercise,
went out in boats.
Clavering rowed with long, swift
strokes until the others were far
behind. Mary, muffled in a warm
white coat and with a scarf
twisted round her head like an
Oriental turban, lay on q pile Of
cushions in the bottom of the boat,
her head against the seat. She
had the sensation Of floating in
space. From the middle of the
lake the forest on every side was
a mass Of shadows, and nothing
was visible but that high vast
armament sprinkled with silver

CANT moon. The great silver disk,
which, Mary murmured. looked
like the tomb of dead gods. seemed
to challenge mortals as well as
planets to deny that he was lord

splendor.
1.-THE. moon is 30 impersonal,"
she sighed. IT wonder why the
poets have made so much Of it?
I'm. sure 1t cares nothing about
lovers - less about poets - and
thinks the old days. when the
world was a heaving, splitting
chaos, and glaciers were tearing
what was already made Of 1t to
bits, were vastly superior to the
finished perfection Of form today.
Like all old things. If it has
the gods in there, no doubt it
wakes them up periodically to re-
mind them how much better things
were in their time. Myself,
prefer the sun. 1t is far more
glamoring."
THAT is because you can't look
it in the eye" said Clavering,
smiling down on her. "You really

is used to describe the complexion
of the moon only for want Of
better word. 1t is neither silver
nor white, but is the result of some
mysterious alchemy known only to
itself. And its temperature does
not affect our bodies at all. You
cannot deny that 1t has exercised
a most beneficent effect on the
spirits Of lovers and poets for all
the centuries we know of. Every
