"A boy of twenty-seven nt the headl" tho wise ones commented. It seems Impossible that ho should have shown nuch acumen-such ability. Hy the time he returned for a brief vacation, inoie than a year later, tho business was booming. Hut the man who came back was not the boy who had gone away. He showed the strain of con centration, deprivation, bard, consci entious work. Katherlno Clermont met him for the first tlmo after his return at 11 great noelal function.

A nntloniil celebration of tho 200th annhersary of the starting of a news paper in America will tako placo In HNH, owing to the suggestion of Mayor Nichols In an address tieforo the Stato Editorial Association nt Wllkesbarrc. Venn. Tho nnnoclatlou appointed a committee- to confer with tho associations of other States, nnd If posnlble bring It about. In the course of his address Mayor Nichols said: John Campbell Is tho real founder of Journalism In tho United States. "The Hoston News Letter" was lmrn April 24, 1701, nnd existed until 1770. During the first sixteen years of this period It was the only newspaper printed In tho colonies. Fourteen years prior to Campbell's venture Hen- Jnmln Harris Issued 0110 copy of "Pub lick Occurrences," which wob Immedi ately suppressed by members of tho King's ottlclal family becausu of a 'stasteful paragraph. The beginning of American Journalism Is truly nu event tlmt ought to bo commemorated and its author deserves u conspicuous placo in American history. A Scotchman nucceeds the gifted Irlshnnn, Sir Charles Itusscll, as Lord ClilefiJustlceof Knglnnd. The effort to save the redwood for ests of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Cal ifornia, Is worthy of praise and en couragement. Two cargoes of Pennsylvania soft coal havo been shipped from Philadel phia to Russia within n few weeks. Not long ago any one who would havo predicted such a possibility would hnvc been regarded as exceedingly visionary. Until a few years ago Minnesota nccorded tho right of suffrage to civil ized Indians certified by district courts to be fit for tho excrclso of tho suf frage. In Florida n requirement of suffrago was enrollment In the local mllltla. Tennessee provided that per sons of color who were competent wit nesses In a court of Justice against n white jnnn might vote In that State. It Is related of tho late C. P. Hunt ington that n young man once called on hlin to sell some much needed rails nt $75 n ton. Mr. Huntington said he had rails to noil himself, amused the caller by a half-hour's chat and got him to sell nt ?00 a. ton, with n six months' noto for pay. Then bo foro the man left Mr. Huntington dis counted the note for six per cent, and pnld tho cash. As an experiment the University of Missouri thin year organized 11 buiu mcr course In agriculture, mainly for the benefit of persons who were nm bltlous to become Instructors nt ag ricultural experiment stations or to ttiko chargo of large ranches In the West. Tho attendance has exceeded expectations, showing tho desire of tho young men of that section of the country to mnster the science of farm ing. As agriculture has been added to the course of study In ninny of tho public scho'ils In tho West, there Is n demand for competent teachers who arc practical farmers with a scientific training. Tho nrt of advertising has a fow fixed rules. People read "uds" not for nmusement, but to secure Informa tion; and the mnn who has n house, n medicine or any kind of merchan dise to sell or services to offer to the public does the most essential thing when ho says so simply, directly nnd persistently. Still, thero Is always room for orlglnnllty, and If ho have n. now Idea as to how to display and arrange his aunouncementn so ns to arrest people's attention nnd make au enduring Impression be Is bound to profit thereby. New Ideas In advertis ing will bo In demnnd so long ns they shall not violate the rules of simplic ity nnd lucidity. The Industrial rehabilitation of Cuba Is strikingly Illustrated by tho fact that tho exhibits made by her people at tho Paris Exposition have wo no fewer than 117 prizes, states tho New York Mall and Express. In view of the chaotic conditions which have prevailed In Cuba since the close of tho war and the extrenio dllllculty of preparing nnythlng llko a represent ative display of tho Island's productB, this record Is altogether remarkable. Tho moral effect of an undertaking so thoroughly creditable will be emi nently wholesome to Cuba trade and Industry. It means tlmt Cuba's trying days are ended; that her material re sources are responding to the touch of enterprise, and that she has en tered upon n now era of civil und com mercial progress.

' SNAILS' TEETH. Ttmy ftnn About 30,000 in tlio Rnull, lint 4000 or So Am Uti1 nt Onn Tltnit. "It Is a fortunate thing for man and tho rest of tho animal kingdom," said the naturalist, "that no lurge wild nnlmnl has n mouth constructed with the devouring apparatus built on the plan of tho Inslgnlflcnnt-Iooklng snall'B mouth, for that nnlmnl could out devour anything thnt Hves. The snail itself is such au entirely unpleasant, not to say loathsome.creature to handle that few amateur unturallHts care to bother with it, but by neglecting the siinll they miss studying one of the most interesting objects that come under their observation. "Any one who has noticed a snail feeding on n leaf must have wondered how nuch n soft, tlnbby, slimy animal can make such a sharp and clcnn-cut Incision In the leaf, leaving an edge ns smooth nnd straight ns If It hnd been cut with n knife. Thnt Is due to the peculiar nnd formidable mouth ho has. The nuall eatn with Ids tongue and the roof of his mouth. Tho tongue Is 11 ribbon which the suall keeps In n coll in his mouth. Thin tongue Is In renllty n bund saw, with the teeth on tho surface Instead of on the edge. The teeth nro so small that as ninny ns K0,(XK) of them have been found on one snail's tongue. They arc exceed ingly sharp dnd only a few of them are used at n time not exnetly only n tow of them, but n few of them comparatively, for the suall will prob ably have 4000 or C000 of them In use at once. He does this by means of blB'colled tongue, lib can uncoil (is much an he chooses, nud the un coiled part be brings Into service. The roof of ills mouth Is as hard as bone. He grasps tho leaf between bis tongue and thnt hard substance, nnd, rasping away with his tongue, sawn through the toughest leaf with ease, always leaving the edge smooth and straight. "Hy use the teeth weur off or be come dulled. When the snail finds that this tool Is becoming blunted he uncoils another section nud works that out until ho has come to the end of the coll. " Then he colls the tongue up ngaln nnd Is ready to start in new, for while he has been using the lat ter portions of the ribbon the teeth hnvo grown in again in iho Idle por tions tho saw hns been Med nnd re set, so to spenk nnd while ho Is using them the teeth In the bnck part of the coll nro renewed. So I think I am right In saylug thnt If nuy large beast of prey was fitted up with such a de vouring apparatus ns the snnll ban It would go hard with the rest of the nulmal kingdom." Chicago Tribune, Dog on Knjcllth Ulghwayi. Many dog owners Bcem to bo una ware that they are responsible for the proper behavior of their pets In public places. It Is of the commonest occur rence for some cur to dash Into the roadway, to bark and snnp at a pans lug tramp or cyclist, without any at tempt being made by the animal's owner to call It to order. Only In very rare Instances, cither, does It receive punishment, even of the slightest kind when It returns from tho foray. The natural result Is, of course, that It feels encouraged to repent ltn misconduct, nnd thu evil habit becomes so in grained us to be Incurable. It In only charitable to assume that the com placency with which the owners re gard these performances Is the prod uct of Ignorance. In their eyes, the outbreak Is nothing worse than n live ly demonstration of harmless playful ness. Ladles aro especially apt to take that vlow; they cannot believe that the frollcnoineness of their canine com panions may Imperil human life.

Owing to the continued Incronse In trnfllcand the Influx of tourists, a shorter route Is to be found between Jerusalem and Kerek, tho ancient capital of the Land of Monb.

ELDHIDOn. act ing director of the otllco of public rond Inquiries of tho (J" Agricultural Department, went South to attend nud nddresn it good-road convention recently held nt Orlando, Fin., nud to examine tho tropical conditions under which good rondB nrc now being built In various parts of that State. In an Interview with a Washington Star reporter Mr. Ehlrldgo nays: "In spite of the great freeze of 1P9,"), which almost paralyzed the orange Industry of Florida, the people of that State have built, under these trying condi tions, hundreds of miles of good loads. These highways are as durable and perfect ns the stone and gravel roads of some of the Northern States, and on nccount of tho luxuriant tropical growth which borders them on every baud they are as beautiful us any highways I have ever seen, not except ing the masterpieces of the road build er's nrt which traverse the rocky slopes of the Alps. The nost remarkable thing about these roads Is tho cost, which Is only about one-sixth ns much ns the stone und gravel loads of the Northern States. Hoads fifteen feet wide are being constructed In Orange County In the vicinity of Oilaudo nud Winter Park for $500 per mile, nnd where convict labor can behind (which fortunntely Is very scarce In Florida) good roads havo been built for fU.'iO per mile, 'ibis remarkably low cost Is due to the fact that these roads weie built by simply mixing the sand, of which the original loads were composed, with clay, which has been discovered nt various points In the State. A largo deposit of this clay was discovered near Burtow, and many of the streets ami roads In Or ange County have lieon built by mix ing Hartow clay with sand, which when placed upon the prepared sand foundation nnd rolled so consolidates nud cements together ns to form n compact nnd smooth surface. After these roads are once built they nro not worn and cut to pieces like the high ways of the North, duo to the fact that no deep freezes occur to disrupt their surfaces nnd foundations '.u winter, nnd thnt the water flows rapidly to the sides of the road during continued rains and sinks Into tho sandy soil alongside. Another reason why these ro.uls do not wear rapidly Is that many of the vehicles In Florldn, even the buggies nud light spring wagons, have been provided with wldo tires, and have thus become rondmakcrn. As a result of wide tires and good drainage some of tho streets of Orlan do, Fin., which were built over ten years ago of sand ami clay, are ns good, If not better to-day than they were when they were built." Honif) ol tlie AilvantHROi. In speaking about the advantages of good roads a prominent otllclal of the League of American Wheelmen nays: "If there Is a method of accomplish ing twice as much ns heretofore with a given amount of effort, It Is to the farmer's Interest to discover and adopt It. Economy of labor means ad ditional ncres which ho can ilnd tlmo to make productive. The only way to compute the value of labor Is to In quire what It would cost If it had to lm purchased. It has been found that If the farmers of the United States had to pay someone else for marketing their crops It would cost them on nn average twenty-five cents every time 11 ton was hauled a mile nearer to mar ket. In other words, It costs twenty live cents a ton n mile. I say on an average, for Its costs considerably less In many localities. Yet it costs until clently more In many others to make It average as largo as stated. Taking au nverago of the number of miles traveled It costs on an average ?U.02 n ton from the farm to tho railroad station. It costa only $1.87 In the Northern and Eastern States, but In the Pacific coast and mountain States It runs up ns high ns f5.lt!. This, of course, Is for the value of the farmer's time and that of his team nud wagon, or what ho would have to pay someone else, at a fair price, to do his hauling for him. How was all this found out? It Is tho result of careful Inquiries inndo by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and of estimates received from farmers throughout the United States In reply to 10,000 re quests for such Information. These In quiries were mndo for tho simple pur pose of getting at the facts so that farmers might know what could be saved by the building of good roads, and might better be able to determine how much they could afford to fcpoud for building them."

It Is a beautiful necessity of our na ture to. love something. Benevolence la to love nil men knowledge Ib to know nil men. Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning Is peril ous. If a man take no thought about what is distant he will find sorrow in store. He who spenks without modesty will find It dlttlcult to make his words good. Hemember this that there is a proper dignity nnd proportion to bo observed lu the performance of every act of life. Practice complete relaxation of brain, nerves and body. Use one-half tho will lorco lu this us In other things and you will succeed. The moral courage that will face ob loquy In a good cause Is much a rarer gift than the bodily valor that will confront death In a bad one. Education does not menu teaching people to know what they do not know. It menus teaching them to be have ns they do not behave. It Is pain ful, continual and dlllleult work, to bo done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, nnd by prnlsu, but above all, by example. Where vlndlctlveness is shown wo may be Biire that there Is a lack of moral sense. It Is somewhat curious to observe nlso that the vindictive have seldom any real wrong to rc engo.
