UNDER THE SUN.
The men who have gone before us
Have sung the songs we sing ;
The words of our clamorous chorus ,
They were heard of the ancient King.
The chords of the lyre that thrill us ,
They were struck in the years gone by ,
And the arrows of death that kill us
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day ;
The moan of the stricken creature
Has rung in the woods alway.
But the songs are worth resinging
With the change of no single note ,
And the spoken words are ringing
As they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow , Love !
Nor need there ever be ,
For the old , ' with its hill and hollow ,
Love !
Is enough for you and me.

THE her broad shoulders more
comfortably against the sun-
warmed rock behind her and gianced
rather contemptuously at the small ,
well-knit man beside her.
"I'm sure I never could endure a
man who was not physically brave
and strong , " she said , with the irrita
bility of a woman who is conscious of
an inconsistency in herself. She was
provoked to find herself liking this lit
tle man with his charming conversa
tional powers.
"And bow about mental and moral
courage ? " be questioned.
"Secondary consideration to me , "
she answeredcurtly. .
"How you must admire Mr. Dent ,
cur young football enthusiast , " be
said.
"I do , " she said , rising and going
out to the farthest jut of the rock on
which they sat.
"How slippery this seaweed is , " she
called over ber shoulder , and then
with a little scream she slipped into
the deep water around tbe rock. "Ob !
Mr. Kendon , " she cried , "please belp
me , it's so deep here. "
The young man remained where he
was. "I happen to know , Miss Drew ,
that you can swim like a fish , and I
am too dry to care to take another
dip. "
She let herself sink once , and then
tbe big form of Mr. Dent , in immacu
late white suit , rounded a corner of
tbe rock. He saw her rise and be
dashed into tbe water and bore her to
tbe rock. She turned with ber bead
erect and walked with him toward the
botel.
Dick Kendon noticed a freezing tem
perature around Miss Drew tbe rest of
the day , but next afternoon , regardless
of Mr. Dent's bints at the danger of
ber running her own automobile , she
commanded Mr. Kendon to take tbe
place at ber side.
They drove through tbe parkway ,
and , comintr to a fountain , Editb Drew
requested ber companion to get ber a
drink. He was rinsing tbe cup when
four rowdies of tbe Sunday afternoon
type came up to tbe w ater.
"Gee , fellers , see tbe little dude ! "
cried tbe largest one. Mr. Kendon con-
'tinued to rinse tbe cup without a
iglance at them.
"Ob ! see the strawberry blonde in
the automobile ! Say , Willie boy ,
, wbere did your flame buy ber hair
'bleach ' ? I want to try some myself ,
and I like tbe color of ber paint , too. "
Dick Kendon's eyes blazed. "You
dirty , lying dogs , " be cried. "If I bad
iii gun I'd sboot you all as if you were
tn lot of mongrel curs. " Tbe big bully
steppedloward him with doubled fist
, and Dick threw tbe contents of the
dipper full in bis face.
"Consider that I have struck you in
jtbe face. " be cried , flaming with anger.
' "I would not really soil my bands on
you. " And before the rowdy could bit
| him , be dashed for a near-by elm tree ,
! and was up and out on tbe furthest
( point of a small limb with tbe agility
of a cat.
"Go , " be called to Edith , "go home
quickly ; I'm safe here , the limb won't
'bear ' two. "
"With a quick turn of tbe automobile
, Edith rode straight for the men who
( were bunting vainly for stones on the
smooth gravel road , and knocked one
/fellow / to one side. The others started
, to run and she chased them full speed
i with-the machine almost on them until
. 'they ' disappeared , leaping over the
flower beds and bushes. Then she re-
Iturned to tbe young man dangling
from tbe elm.
"Xo , 'indeed , " he answered. "I'm
( aware that my position is elevated , but
.il is ridiculous , aud a woman does not
forgive that in a man. I shall wait

"I shall not go , " she replied.
"You must , " he said. "I shall take

'sode ' of our acquaintance will be ended.

The battleship Missouri , on which a turret gun exploded , killing twenty-
uine officers and men , has been in commission only since last autumn , her
official trip taking place Oct. 21. She is a sister ship of the Obio and tbe
new Maine. Her displacement is 12,300 tons. She is heavily armored , and
ber armament is in four 12-inch sixteen G-incb
proportion , being - guns , - guns
and a number of smaller weapons. The Missouri also has two submerged ,
torpedo tubes. " Her complement is 331 oilicers and men. She is commanded
by Captain William S. Cowles , a brother-in-law of President Roosevelt. Re
cently tbe Missouri , owing to ber defective steering gear , narrowly escaped
sinking the Illinois.
jectiles at us. It required 220 railway
trucks to transport them. Each shot
cost GO francs ; total. 1,500,000 francs.
Tbe damage to the forts is estimated
at 1.400 f nines. About ten men have
been killed. Each of our dead cost tbe
Prussians 130.000 francs. "
This extract , says London Til-Bits ,
gives one an excellent idea of tbe cost
and ineffectiveness of big-gun work on
land a generation ago , when it took an
average of 2,500 projectiles , costing
150.000 francs , to kill a single man
and to inflict less than 0 worth of
damage on tbe enemy's fortifications.
But time has changed since" then ,
and munitions with them , and tbe
great guns of to-day , on tbe sea at an-
rate , give a vastly different account of
themselves. During tbe recent war
between America and Spain it will be
recalled tbat tbe Brooklyn poured such
a deadly deluge of projectiles into tbe
Spanish warship Vi caya that within
five minutes the latter lay at tbe bottom
tom of tbe sea a rent and battered
jumble of scrap iron.
In all the Brooklyn fired G18 shells
at the Vascnya and the bill of destruc
tion read thus :
To 141 S-incb shells , at 30 each ,
7,030 ; to G3 G-incb shells , at 21 each ,
1,363 ; to 12 G-pounder shells , at 1
each , 12 ; to 400 1-pound shells , at 12
shillings G pence each , 230.
Thus the five minutes firing cost the
United States SG77. and during each
minute of tbe duel the Brooklyn hurled
H23 projectiles at ber enemy at a cost
of 1,733. If we add to this the cost
ol' tbe Viscaya's answering fire we see
that tbe fight between tbe two ships
could scarcely have cost less than
3.000 a minute , or at tbe rate of 180-
000 an hour. We must remember , too ,
tbat on neither ship would it be possi
ble to use all the available guns at
once ; so tbat there is still a large mar
gin for increased expenditure when a
man-of-war is in a position to use her
fighting powers to tbe utmost.
But let us take one of our own first-
class battleships , tbe London , and osi-
mate tbe cost of five minutes' fighting ,
assuming tbat she could use all of ber
forty-six guns throughout.
The London's four 12-inch guns ,
wbicb , by the way , cost no less than
220,000 , fire armor-piercing shells
weighing S30 pounds each at the rate
of two a ininuto , each projectile , with
its cordite charge of 1(57 % pounds ,
costing SO. Thus in free minutes'
fighting these four destruction-dealing
monsters would burl at the enemy
forty projectiles weighing more than
eighteen tons and costing 3.200.
Each six-inch gun , of wbicb she has
twelve , costing 3,750 each , throws
shells of 100 pounds weight , costing
14 apiece , and in five minutes of rapid
and continuous firing these guns would
pour into the enemy's ships a hurri
cane of projectiles weighing twenty-
two tons , at a cost of GGSS. So far we
have only accounted for sixteen out of
tbe forty-six guns.
The London twelve-pounders number
sixteen and cost 533 each ; from the
mouths of these guns no fewer than
9GO shells could be poured in five min
ute5' , representing nine tons of metal
and a ocst of 2SSO.
Each of the half-dozen three-pound
ers has a firing capacity of thirty
shells a minute , so that in a five min
utes' fight they alone would send 900
worth of metal into tbe enemy's side ;
while the eight maxims would send out
a storm of death-dealing bullets weigh
ing more than six hundredweight and
costing 140.
Thus , in five minutes' fighting , using
all her forty-six guns , the London
would vomit forth 'over fifty tons of
projectiles and the cost of this barking
would work out to more than 14,000.
MAKING STAINED GLASS.
Method Now the Same as Used Eijrht
Ceirturicb AJJJO.
The twentieth century American
stained glassmaker follows without
important variation tbe simple meth
ods of tbe French monk of eight cen
turies ago , says tbe Booklovers' Maga
zine. Tbe first requisite is tbe design.
The artist makes a small water-color
sketch to show the general design and
color scheme , accompanying it with
detailed studies. From this two large
drawings or ' 'cartoons" are made , tbe
exact size of tbe desired window. One
cartoon shows where tbe "leads" will
be placed tbe thin strips of lead , hol
lowed on both sides and looking in a
transverse section like the letter H ,
which form tbe framework to bind the
pieces of glass together. Another draw
ing gives the size and shape of each
piece of glass. This cartoon is cut intc
its co.nponont pieces by a pair ( or
triplet ) of three-bladed scissors , which
leave between their parallel blades a
space sufficient for tbe leads.
These 'cut-out ' patterns are put to
getber again on a large glass easel , to
which they are attached by wax and
the spaces between are blacked in , to
give the effect of tbe leads. Tbe easel
is then placed against a window where
tbe light can stream through it Tbe
artist or bis substitute replaces each
paper pattern on the easel by a piece
of glass exactly tbo same size , cut
from a sheet of glass of tbe color
called for by tbe color sketch. Tbe
sketch is not followed slavishly ; exper
iment witb tbe actual glass will sug
gest improvements. To a greater or
less extent' this stained glass is sup
plemented by painted glass , on which
the colors are fired as in china paint
ing. When all the pieces have been
cut they are transferred to the "lead-
Ing" drawing ; tbe flexible leads are
twisted into shape and soldered at the
joints and a special cement applied to
make tbe whole water-tight. The win
dow is now complete , ready to be put
in position , where it is made secure by
copper wires fastened to tbe trans
verse bars of iron.
Ill-Timed Appreciation.
Tbe gloomy and repressive observ
ance of tbe Sabbath tbat remained
long from tbe days of tbe Puritans has
happily died out in America. People
no longer believe tbat happiness on
Sunday is a sin. In parts of Scotland ,
however , tbe sterner view still holds.
William Maccalluin lived witb bis
family on a farm several miles from
tbe village. On Sunday be was wont
to stride with bis long-legged son
James over tbe four miles of road to
tbe kirk. Tbe rest of tbe family fol
lowed in tbe cart
One Sunday an unusually fine Sun
day , when tbe air was filled with tbe
strength df tbe bill breezes William
and James were swinging gravely
along on their way to tbe kirk. For
three miles their mouths were shut in
solemn silence.
Finally tbe delight of living got tbe
better of tbe son's decorum , and be
said soberly , sniffing the . .air , " 'Tis a
fine dee. "
His father turned on him in right
eous offense : "Es thes a dee to be
talkin o' dees ? "
When a baby squalls when it is be

WHAT CONGRESS DID.
LONG SESSION DESPITE EARLY
ADJOURNMENT.
Cuba and Panama Treaties Katificd-
EconomyWas Practiced Total Appro1
priations Are $781,574,027.00 Ex
jiected Surplus $33,000.000.
Two legislative acts stand out as th
principal accomplishment of the two s
sions of the Fifty-eighth Congress. The
reciprocity treaty with Cuba was chang
ed to a bill having its origin in the House
because one of its provisions touched the
matter of revenue , and therefore it was
held that under the constitution the Rep
resentatives should take the iniatitive.
The pledge of the United States to Cuba
was fulfilled by means of this bill. The
House passed the measure during the ex
traordinary session and sent it to the
Senate , where it was debated and passed
early in the second session.
The treaty with Panama was the second
end of the chief legislative labors of
Congress. The Senate ratified the treaty
without amendment , though while it was
under discussion it gave rise to virulent
attack and debate on the part of the
Democrats , who declared the President
had exceeded his authority in the recog'
nition of the- republic of Panama.
The Senate ratified the Chinese com
mercial treaty , by means of which the
United States secured two open ports in
Manchuria. Congress also undertook leg
islation for the government of the Pan
ama canal zone , a subject which led to
many differences between House and
Senate.
There was marked conservatism
throughout the session in the matter of
supplybills. They were handled quick
ly aud with the economy which often
marks the methods of Congress prior tea
a presidential vcainpaign. All told , the
money appropriated for government uses
amounted to nearly $700,000,000. The
revenues of the government are estimat
ed at $704,000,000.
Appropriations Are $781,574,629.99 ,
Chairman Hemenway of the House
committee on appropriations on the clo
ing day issued a statement showing tha
appropriations made by Congress at this
session amount to $781,574,029.90. Thij
amount includes $20,801,843.93 appropri
ated for deficiencies and $30,500,000 sub
mitted under the estimates of permanent
appropriations for application out of sur
plus revenues to the sinking fund. The
whole sum of apparent appropriation is ,
therefore , 8098,272,780.00. The estimat
ed revenue for the fiscal year 1903 is
$704,472,000.72 , an excess over expendi
tures of $0.199,274.00.
It is further estimated that the usual
growth of revenue and the usupl expen
ditures of the government , which aver
age 5 pt > r cent less than the estimates ,
will further increase this surplus to at
least $33,000,000. The expenditure per
capita in the United States is shown to
be $7.f > 7 , the lowest of any of the -great
powers by a wide margin. The appropri
ations in the aggregate this session are
more than $20,000,000 less than last ses
sion.
Estimates Were Cut.
Heads of the various government de
partments sent in estimates of their
needs , and these estimates exceeded the
estimated revenues by about $42,000.000.
The figures will show what Congress did
in the way of cutting down the estimates
as presented. Xo general measure carry
ing provisions for new public buildings
was allowed to pass. Ordinarily an om
nibus bill is put through which provides
for po toffices and other government
buildingb in towns ail over the country
which have congressional influence
enough to et what they ask. The ma
jority refused likewise to consider any
river and harbor .bill which had for its
object new work Tind the expenditure of
large sums of money.
There was agitation for a service pen
sion bill for war veterans involving the
expenditure of a huge sum. Congress ,
however , refused to consider it at this
session , and the nearest approach to rec
ognition of the one fact of service as be
ing sufficient for a pension was in allow
ing an appropriation of $1,500,000 for the
payment of pensions to men who came
under the provisions of the general or
der of the Secretary of the Interior , which
made age an evidence of physical dis
ability to perform manual labor. This
age pension order was provocative of
Democratic assaults , but the Republicans
succeeded in showing to the discomfiture
of their enemies that a like recognition
of age disability and a like order Avere
made by the Secretary of the Interior
under the administration of Grovr Cleve

ou the matter.
As far ns the labor world is concern
ed the eight-hour bill was shunted by the
House to the Department of Commerce

the significant name of "the forbid

is the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs
from tbe tree in a peculiar manner.
Orange on tbe outside and deep crim

Kheumatism in Utah.
Frisco , Utah , May 2. There Is o
great deal of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring States , and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently , however , there has been
introduced into Utah a remedy for
Rheumatism wbicb bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint. The
namrt of this new remedy is Dodd's
Kidney Pills , and it has already
wrought some wonderful cures. Right
here in Frisco there is a case of a Mr.
Gnu-p. who bad Rheumatism so bad in
bis feet that be could hardly walk. He
tried many remedies in vain , but
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him.
His wife says : "We both bad Kidney
Trouble and my husband bad the
Rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodd's Kidney-
Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies , but none have
done us so much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. "
Similar reports come from all over
the State and it would seem as if
Rheumatism had at last been con
quered.

Floating Gardens.
On tbe rivers of Cashmere are thou
sands of floating gardens , formed by
long sedges which are woven together
in the form of a gigantic mat. These
sedge grasses , flags , stalks , lilies , etc. ,
are woven on the river or lake banks
while their roots are still growing in
tbe slime underneath. The required
amount of earth is then superimposed
upon tbe mat , tbe stalks are then cut
and the mat and its load are a full
fledged "floating garden. ' They are
usually about twenty by fifty yards in
extent , seldom larger , the full depth
of the mat and its earthy covering being -
ing about three feet. A dishonest
Cashmiri will sometimes tow his
neighbor's garden away fiom its moor
ings aud sell the produce of tbe other's
toil. Tbe writer has frequently seen
one of tbe largest being towed by two
men in a rowboat which hardly looked
larger than one of the luscious melons
serenely reposing on the floating truck-
farm.
Rare Brown Paint.
Ground-up mummy makes a brown
of a certain rare color that nothing
else can give. It is on account of the
asphaltum in tbe mummy tbat this is
so. Tbe Egyptians wrapped their i ]
dead in garments coated witb asphalt-
um of an incomparably fine and pure
quality. This asphaltum , as the cen
turies passed , impregnated the tissues
of tbe dead themselves. It turned
them into the best paint material in
the world : Being exceedingly expen
sive , it is used only by portrait paint
ers in depicting brown hair.
SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.
"When I drank coffee 1 often had
sick headaches , nervousness and bil
iousness much of tbe time , but about
two years ago I went to visit a friend
and got in the habit of drinking
Postum.
"I have never touched coffee since ,
and the result has been tbat I have
been entirely cured of all my stomach
and nervous troubles.
"My mother was just tbe same way.
We all drink Postum now and have
never had any other coffee in the house \ ]
for two years and we are all well.
"A neighbor of mine a great coffee ' t !
drinker was troubled with pains in
her side for years and was an invlid.
i
She was not able to do ber work and
could not even mend clothes or do any
thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. If she tried to do a
little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.
' I persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee , and she did so and she -has
used Postum ever since ; the result has.
been that she can now do her work ,
can sit for a whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her sidet
in fact she has got well and it shows
coffee was the cause of the whole
trouble.
"I could also tell you about several
