In the comic opera of life the chorus girls are cooks. Cne good thing about rainbow gold is that we can't squander it on bar gains. Many a fond young writer's hopes come home coffined in long white en velopes. The only jewels that man should not be ashamed to wear are the beads of honest toil. Go abroad and Godspeed you, my friends. But forget the sights you see before you see me again. A modern financier is a youth of to day who can marry and make his fa ther-in-law take care of them both. Consider the ways of the popular chaperon. She hath ears that hear not and eyes that obsolutely refuse to behold anything. PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS. The fatted calf never loves the prodigal son. Truth never runs around asking people to believe it. Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is it their penalty or reward? How many of us in listening to the tomtoms forget the violins? To think an original thought is to take a step nearer the divine. People who need to be continually propped up are not worth the prop. When men become suddenly good they should be executed immediately. It is easier for some people to be lieve the impossible than the pos sible. Before it was thrown down, the Golden Calf had a son, and it is still mooing around the world. It is self-evident that to success fully fathom the motives of men one must be a man himself. To an idiot —to a lunatic—all men are either idiots or lunatics. PHYSICIAN SAYS Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and Cream. A Mass, physician has found a cure for constipation in children — citing fifteen cases—by feeding them Grape Nuts. “Some time ago,” he writes, “I be came interested in your food, Grape Nuts, as a cure for constipation in children. Having tried it in my own family, I have advised it in fifteen cases in which all suffered with con stipation more or less severe. The re sult has been absolute relief in all. "I write this that other children may be benefited.” How much better it is thus to bring about a healthy action in the bowels of growing children by natural means, than to feed them with improper food, requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation. Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en tire nervous system including the nerves that cause the natural con traction and relaxation of the bowel muscles, that propel the food mass along. It is predigested also, and the blood easily absorbs the food as it goes through the body, storing up vitality and force for the functions of all the organs. Children especially, should get the right start as to habits of living. They should grow into bright, strong, cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts solve the question of the start; a wholesome appetite will do the rest. Children’s teeth are benefited by chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent ist will tell you that a certain amount of exercise in chewing firm food, is necessary to grow strong, beautiful teeth. Teeth need exercise just the same as muscles, if they are to grow strong and firm as nature intended. Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and also gives material from which good teeth are made. "There’s a reason.” Read the little book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville,” in DkEB. THE WAR BALLOON IN GERMAN ARMY The balloon, with which the German arnry authorities have been experimenting, has a long, torpedo-like envelope. It is kept rigid, not by any framework, but by two small balloons within the great envelope. These are kept continually taut by air pumped into them by the motor, which also drives the screw. It is kept even by two rigid horizontal planes fixed to the sides of the balloon above the rudder. The inventor, Maj. von Per seval, claims that his balloon can be deflated and packed up very much quicker than any other existing aerostat. . T,„. TO TEACH THE POOR. Convention Planned by Field Work ers at Winona Lake for Purpose of Spreading the Gospel in Rural Districts. Winona Lake, Ind.—One of the most peculiar and interesting conven tions of the year will he held here in August, when the Indiana field work ers of the American Sunday School union, and perhaps a number from other states, will hold the first con ference the Indiana workers have ever held. It will bring together nine men from this state, who are seldom seen and heard by the people of cities and larger towns, but they are men who, in the sparsely settled regions of the state, are better known than the carriers on the rural mail routes. It is the business of these field work ers to go among a class of people that would not otherwise hear of the Bible and quicken their interest in the book. The chief purpose of the Sunday School union is to get copies of the Bible in these homes, and with this purpose is closely linked that of or ganizing Sunday schools at points convenient for the poor of the rural districts. The American Sunday School union, with headquarters in Philadelphia, was organized in 1824, and it has spent $10,000,000 for Bibles and other religious literature, all of which has been distributed free in the remote regions of American civilization. It pays no salaries to Its field men, who live as best they can from free will offerings of the people among whom they work, and their lot is harder than-that of the old-time cir cuit rider, who rode his horse from settlement to settlement when In diana was young. The field men seek the crossroads points, and there open the Sunday schools, using blacksmith shops, granaries or any kind of build ing that will offer shelter from the weather, and in these Sunday schools are gathered the men, women and i children of the neighborhood, regard less of religious beliefs. Of the men at work in this state, J. M. Caress, of New Albany, goes through the hill country of southern Indiana. J. A. Carter has Brown county in his district, and he has or ganized a number of Sunday schools : for the neglected poor in the hills of that and Morgan county. W. H. Hess, who is organizing the August conference, makes his home at Winona Lake throughout the year and the ten northern Indiana counties over which he travels are one of the largest districts that the Sunday School union has in the middle west. The methods followed by Mr. Hess j are typical of those of all the mis sionaries. He has a wagon similar to that of the rural mail carrier, only it is not brilliant with red paint and it is covered with religious inscrip tions. Mr. Hess went into this Sunday school work six years ago, with his pockets empty, but he was fired with the hope that seems to fill every kind of mission worker. E. A. K. Hackett, of Port Wayne, started a movement which resulted in a good outfit for Mr. Hess—a strong horse, a good set of harness and a substantial, comfort able wagon, which can be driven in all kinds of weather and over all kinds of country roads. Mr. Hackett also keeps this “gospel wagon” sup plied with song books, which the mis sionary uses in his Sunday schools. A variety of literature is stacked up in shelves in the Hess wagon, but the chief stock is Bibles. The Bibles are substantially bound in cloth, printed In minion type and the covers are of dark red. that the book may be more attractive to children. In six years Mr. Hess has found 500 families In the ten counties of his district who had no Bible. He had found boys 15 years old who had never been inside of a Sunday school. “It is surprising to see,” he said, Beef Exports Falling Short. Washington.—Completed figures of the exports of American canned meats for the past fiscal year are shown in a statement issued by the depart ment of commerce and labor. The valued of canned meats exported from the United States in June, 1906, was $461,000, against $797,127 in June, 1905, and in the fiscal year 1906, $3,233,410, against $9,577,045 in 1905. The fig ures for the fiscal year 1906 Include canned beef, $6,430,446; canned pork, $1,215,857; other canned meats, $1, 587,107. The quantity of canned beef export ed in the fiscal year was 64,523,359 j pounds, as against 66,688,568 pounds in 1905. The reduction in exports occurred i almost exclusively in the shipments to Japan, which country took large ly of American canned beef during the war, but greatly reduced her importa tion on the disbanding of the army. The exports of canned beef to Japan in the fiscal year 1906 were 2,306,583 I pounds, against 14,687,165 pounds in 1905, and in the month of June, 1906, were 34,412 pounds, against 3,611,388 in June, 1905. Great Britain was the greatest buy er of canned beef, exports to that “what destitution there is in the way of knowledge of the Bible in this old settled region of the state. But there has been mission work done among the poor and ignorant in this part of Indiana, for in Wabash county I have found tracts which were distributed to the humble homes 50 years ago.” Mr. Hess has started a Sunday school in an abandoned country church, which during its palmy days sent out eight ministers of the gos pel. Five years ago he opened a school in one neighborhood, and a girl of 14 years old immediately be came its mainstay. She is now the efficient superintendent of the school. In one little town of his territory Mr. Hess found a church that had been abandoned. He obtained per mission to use the structure, spent two days in driving to the homes of 41 families, and on the next Sabbath opened a school. When the mission ary first entered this town the word spread among the people that he was a state fish warden. One woman buried her husband's fish nets in the ground. Mr. Hess, a few months ago, held a series of meetings in this place and converted 49. The conference of the missionaries will be held at Winona lake during the Bibte conference, when some of the best religious orators who speak the English tongue will be here. country increasing 4,578,185 pounds for the fiscal year, but decreasing for the month of June, 1906. Of the exports of canned beef for the fiscal year the United Kingdom took 9,939,254 pounds and Belgium 968,972 pounds. Kaiser’s Son to Study in United States. Berlin.—The kaiser's fourth son, Prince August William, will complete his educational training at American in stitutions. Harvard, Yale, and Ccrn nell are mentioned by those who are laying out his course. After his American course the prince will pass a term at either Oxford or Cambridge, in England. He is to be made partic ularly proficient in political history, political economy and constitutional and international law. New Fruit Shows Fright. London.—A Philippeville newspaper announces the discovery of an ex traordinary fruit which has grown on a native tree known as the caroudier. When squeezed it utters a sort of in articulate cry; when scratched it shudders. It is about the size of a peach, and the paper from which the description is taken suggests that it is part animal and part vegetable. JAPAN GOING TO TRY AN EXPERIMENT Washington.—That Japan is pre paring to nationalize all the industries of the country is indicated by advices received by the bureau of manufac tures. This move, which is one of the greatest experiments in the world’s history, includes the protection, super vision and development of the various lines of business, all under the direct charge of the government. The pro vision for the nationalization of the railways is only a single step in the great plan. The question of Manchurian devel opment has received careful attention, RUILmmiJU and now it is proposed that a com pany shall be formed by the govern ment and private capitalists jointly for operating the railways, mines and forests there. Americans who are striving for the trade of the orient will discover that they are in com mercial conflict with the Japanese na tion itself. Beside Himself. "No, r have never seen our foreman so angry in my life. He was so furi ous that he absolutely worked.”—Meg gendorfer Blatter. — — -- Water Too Shallow for Speed. There is no part of the lake and river channel between Cleveland and Detroit where the water is so deep that it does not afreet the speed of lake steamers of large size. Ohio’s Productive Fields. In a good year Ohio grows about nine bushels of wheat for every man, woman and child in the state, a bar rel of apples and from 20 to 25 bush els of corn. Composition of Sealing Wax. Sealing wax is not wax, nor does it contain a single particle of wax. It is made of shellac and resin melted with turpentine. GOOD AIR KILLS NEGROES. Washington. — Perfect sanitation and cleanliness are proving fatal to the West Indian negroes employed on the Panama canal. Although Col. Corgas and his assistants have ban ished yellow fever and other tropical fevers, which made the canal zone one large burying ground for the French canal builders, they have found that sanitary precautions taken in the quarters occupied by workmen make the Jamaican negroes especially susceptible to pneumonia and other throat and lung troubles. West Indians are not accustomed to an abundance of fresh air and well ventilated, cleanly quarters. Living for generations in small hutB, where large families crowd into rooms tight ly closed against the night air, the negroes from Jamaica and other trop ical islands have developed lungs with cramped capacity and. especially sus ceptible to changes and temperature. West Indian laborers cannot be in duced to eat sufficient wholesome food 'mM ll« to keep them in good health, even when supplies are furnished to them at cost price and meals are made attractive at great expense to the ca nal commission. Decline in Exports of Oil. Washington.—A large decrease in the exports of petroleum during May is shown in the government reports. This follows a large decrease in April, and the decline is explained as due in part to heavy shipments in preced ing months. The falling off has been most marked in the shipments to the far east, where the American oil has to meet the competition of the Samat ra product. The exports daring the first five months of the present cal endar year were 483,898,710 gallons, an increase of more than 32,000,000 gallons over those of the correspond ing period of the previous year. More than half the increase was in illu minating oiL Too Funny. “Mister,” said the bruised and bat tered man, as he entered the newspa per office, “L want you to stop my pa per. I can’t stand the comic page.” “Why,” replied the clerk, in sur prise, “our comic page is conceded to be the funniest out.” “That’s just it, young man; it is too funny. Why, last night while 1 was reading some of the jokes in the kitch en, I started to laugh, and, by gum, I laughed so loud I tilted my chair too far back, upset sis jars of gooseberry preserves, knocked down the stove and killed the cat. Then the old woman came near killing me; so I reckon you better stop the paper.” He Was Sorry. Bill—They say there was an actor at the theater last night who got hit square in the face with an overripe egg. Jill—I was there. “Didn’t you feel sorry?” “Yes, I did. There was a woman sit ting in front of me with a big hat and I didn’t see the egg strike him." What JoyThey Bring Jo Every Home rigs, rnanuiaciurea cy tne Ualiiornia Fig Syrup Co.
