The mills had always' been grinding slowly when those words were firs! written, erhape as slowly as some ot the courts grind at this time, and there was no reason to believe they would ever improve. The observer added as a sort of consolation that they grind, exceeding ly fine, and let it go at that. Even that is .more than can be said of some courts, to continue the comparison between the mills and the courts. It is impossible to doubt that the mills ground slowly after taking one glance into the past. We may recon cile this condition to the crying need or those days by the reflection that all machinery is imperfect at first. If Robert Fulton could come back now and be present at the anniversary celebration he would have to admit that the steamboats he used to build were dinky. The mills of the gods may not have advanced as rapidly as steamships and automobiles in recent years, but they still are grinding. I think they began to improve some years ago. I have noticed several of the grists that have been turned out and as far as I could see they were all right Neither could any complaint be made by a reason- rutnn.r injiruTf'ttfuii'vvvvvy'i' "! f Irad Biglow's By Hugh "To- think of buying a suit of c'ntiies for less'i a dollar," dreamily mused old Irad Biglow, as bis cousin. Edgar, at whose home he had been paying an unwelcome visit backed up tiie wagon to receive the old-fashioned trunk. It was imperative that Irad linger a bit longer with his kinsman, and be looked gioomy as Edgar observed, "No more of your schemes for me. I'm tired of your dreams ot wealth that never pan out" "While some would expect the price to go as low as 59 cents, I believe C9 cents Is more conservative," mused Irad. his aged brow clouding. "And with the output in one man's hands, -mind you." "In what man's hands?", snapped Edgar, yet lowering his end of the trunk. "I fear I am betraying a confidence, but the lucky man is Jim Witham." "Jim Witham." jeered Edgar, grap- "The Art Was Sought by the An cients." pling the trunk. "You've talked of him and his games before." "And millions and millions are in it," gently murmured Irad. Edgar straightened and eyed his relative closely. He loved dollars. "It's simply the question of who will start the business first," continued Irad. "What business?" sharply demanded Edgar, sliding into a veranda chair yet tapping his boot against the trunk menacingly. Irad looked cautiously about and then confided. "I fear I promised not to tell, but it's the business of melting cloth." "Melting cloth!" gasped Edgar, growing limp. "Why. what in sin would you melt cloth for? It can't be doie'. " TMdjiifimB mebhe yes," knowingly returned Irad. moving to the trunk. "But come; I must be at Cousin Free man's'bynightfall."

So the clever one found out the following facts and told them at dinner: Green tea is made from the same leaves as the black, although some varieties are best for each of these respective kinds. In green tea the leaves are quickly brought in and placed In a double boiling water for eight or nine minutes, the cover be ing frequently removed and the leaves stirred. This process makes the leaves soft and ready for rolling. Black tea is .withered for from 12 to 24 hours and allowed to ferment from three to six boars, when -oxidation takes place, which makes it black.

There was a brass band in a country town a few years ago, the members of "Practicing in a Room Back of the Livery Stable." which practiced five nights each week, and it will serve as an illustra tion of the work the mills of the gods have been doing. The practicing was - ri 1 ii - Melted Cloth Pendexter. "You've said too little," sternly de clared Edgar. "Your visit can wait till day after to-morrow." Irad dragged his trunk back to the door and fingered bis beard nervously. Then he explained, "The art of melt ing cloth was sought by the ancients. The secret has now, been discovered. If one could melt an old coat down into one solid piece of cloth another coat as good as the old one could be made, only smaller, as you'd have to allow for the holes. "No cloth in all the world thrown away!" babbled Edgar, beginning to figure on the arm of the chair. "Great Scott!" muttered Edgar. Then, apprehensively, "But Witham will git ahead of me." "No; he must wait as well as you," consoled Irad, edging away. w i ii ii Medium-Sized Journeys By Strickland W. Gillilan. Henry F. Cicero had Helvia for a mother and a Helllva father, accord ing to Plutarch, who wrote me about it in answer to my'request for some first-hand biographical data. He was called Cicero because there was a mark on the end of his nose that looked like a vetch, and a" vetch is a deer. I would tell you what vetch meant if I knew; then you would know what cicer meant He was the peanut-brittle kid of his class at school but took to poetry. When they had cured him of that he went to school quite awhile in town, and studied elocution. When he would be at home, none of his mother's friends would come to their house for fear he would be asked to recite "Lasca," of "The Boy Stewed on the Burning Deck," for them. He practiced in the squire's court awhile and got to be a right good petti fogger. Once-he tried a case in which the main squeeze, William P. Sylla, was prosecuting, and won it Cicero heard that Sylla was looking for him with a gun, and so he went away from there. Also Cicero's tummy gave him lots of trouble. He had eaten once at a lunch counter at a railway sta tion when he was away at school and had never recovered from it But he got some better, and returned when a postcard from home told him Sylla had quit looking for him. Throughout his entire life, Cicero was noted for his keenly appreciative qualities. This wonderful faculty of appreciation was largely used on him self. No man stood better with Cicero than he did, and no man in the empire thought more of Cicero than he thought himself. Charity began at home, with him, all right Catallne lived then, and didn't aim to overlook any opportunities for orn eriness. Once some one got into Cat iline's desk and found a letter from Archlbold plotting against the state. - - "i -r " - - - Black Tea stirred until they are dry and brittle to the touch and a slight tea odor is perceptible. Doctor's Heroic Act It was stated in the course of a lo cal government board inquiry at East Ham, England, that a boy was recent ly taken Into the. burough fever hos pital suffering from diphtheria and with his bronchial tubes so. muck choked up that breathing had become almost impossible. ? Dr. Sowden at once operated, 'and having inserted a tube sucked the vir ulent matter out ot it, so that the suf ferer might obtain immediate relief. In so doing the doctor saved the boy's life, but himself narrowly escaped contracting the disease. In the Wrong Place.

The rehearsals were rather public and this was called to the at tention of the players but they did not care. The noise they made would have torn the sides out of any other building, so it did not matter. The instruments were placed in a large chest and left in the building when the band was not practicing, but it was not often that they were in the chest Otte night a fire broke out in the corner of the building' where the chest stood, somebody having careless ly poured a lot of coal oil there. Be fore the fire could bo quenched the in struments were reduced to blackened and worthless brass. They were a total loss, there being no insurance. The town never raised enough money to replace the instruments. Nobody thought of It at the time, but I know now that the grist was turned out by one of the mills of the gods. I wish I knew which mill. There are other grists I would like to take there. Anybody can see that the grist was exceeding fine, and that is evidence that it was from one of the mills. It may be circumstantial, but still it is evidence. It is useless to try to convince me that the mills of the gods do not grind faster now than they used to years ago. The band had been practicing only 30 days. (Copyright. 1909. by W. G. Chapman.) "Wait!" faltered Edgar. "Wait' for what?" "For Roosevelt to return from Af rica," desperately informed Irad. "What In sin has that to do with It?" crie' Edgar, his brow flaming. "It's only a detail." mollified. Irad, stepping to the door. "Roosevelt Is ex pected to capture that rare bird known as the zgewix, in whose tail is a cer tain feather, which If plucked at 'the moulting period will provide an acid that mixed with equal portions of carbolic acid and arrow-root" "And the cloth can't be melted without that danged feather?" pas sionately demanded Edgar. "Hardly," said Irad. "That's what's keeping Witham back. You see 1 Know a feller with Roosevelt who'll git me a feather if the bird is caught and is brought back alive and moults " "Day after to-raorrer," gritted Edgar, stalking away. (Copyright. 1903. by W. G. Chapman.) " ivnrir'Mw'nj-rLiLri-ruTjT This was reported to Cicero, who got busy and made Catiline -so uneasy that be gathered up a lot of discharged Brownsville soldiers and went away with them as a body-guard. The ora tions Cicero delivered on these occa sions have made trouble for every boy and girl that has gone along a bit In Latin. Being offered the territorial governorship of Macedonia and of Gaul, he took Macedonia. He didn't need any Gaul. (Now see what some thing made me do! ) Cicero, while he was prosecuting at torney, was the Francis J. Heney of his day. When Cornelius Abe Ruef Lentulus Schmidt Sura, of whom Plu tarch jocosely says "he had a good family but a dissolute liver," raised a ruction and piled excelsior soaked in oil in the ferry buildings and the city hall and the opera house and the flat iron building and planned to set fire to all of them and whack up on the insurance, Cicero sent Burns around in disguise and found out the whole thing, so that afterward the senate ac cused him of abusing the secret serv ice privileges. Cicero took part per sonally in killing Lentulus and his gang, who are still dead, as we go to press. Afterward the opposition got into the saddle and Claudius had a warrant issued for Cicero, who immediately started out to rouse" people's sympathy for him. This was a mighty cheap but mighty keen piece of work on Cicero's part, and got him a lot of Coxey's army camp-followers. Throughout his life Cicero was cor dially loved and despised by the poli ticians and common people. His health was always pretty poor, and sometimes he felt so badly that he had to be a vegetarian nearly all day. When he was through with politics he went to Africa to hunt lions, and things were much quieter in Rome. fcvnvriht w hr W rs Chapman.) - --.--.... --- . - r.--t-ir-J-Lnj-1J-1JJU-LrJ-iJ Too Well-Done.

This Is the season when the needle work girl thinks of the newest wrin kles in shirtwaists. Women of a club that meets once a week to sew were the recipients recently of invitations like the following: "Come to an in formal luncheon on Tuesday and wear your latest shirtwaist; bring your work." The girls expected something new, and they were not disappointed. The color scheme was pink, which al ways seems the proper thing for young girls, for whom we always ex- pect things to be "coleur de rose." A long-stemmed pink carnation was laid at each place, and this dainty menu was served nothing new about it, only it just seemed to be the right of Tomato Soup. Cold Veal Loaf, Garnished with Rad ishes and Cucumbers. French Fried Potatoes. Fruit Salad, Cream Cheese and Wafers. Cherry Sherbet with Pink Frosted Cakes. Pink and White Bonbons. Coffee. With the dessert walnut-shaped bon bon boxes were brought in on a tray. When opened some contained the fol lowing bright conundrums, the an swers pertaining to a shirtwaist: What does the pugilist give his antag onist? Answer A cuff. What does Hymen say to the shirtwaist girl? Answer My yoke is easy. When does the president give a decid ing vote? Answer When .there Is a tie. What is the prettiest thing in a shirt waist? Answer The girl who wears It. Why Is a sawmill whoI like the shirt waist girl? Answer Because they both wear belts. The girl who answered all five was given a pair ot scissors in a case. Aft er the repast a doll was given each girl to be dressed with materials fur nished by the hostess. The waist part had to be a shirtwaist It was a very jolly party and the. dolls went to a mission school in Tennessee. An Announcement Party. This was given In the evening, and both men and women were asked. There were about 20:guests, all good friends, so the affair was not at all stiff. The hostess passed cards tied with true-lover's knots of blue with little blueprints (snapshots) of the happy pair at the top. Below the word "Matrimony" was printed In blue and gold letters. The game was to see how many words (proper' names barred) could be made in a half hour. Every one was surprised at the an nouncement, which was told without any other explanation, and the couple were overwhelmed with congratula tions. At the conclusion of the word con test a basket was passed containing tiny bells, wee slippers, two rings, two hearts, envelopes containing a love message, etc. Thus partners were found by matching these love tokens. Then, to the music of Lohengrin's wedding march, they went to the din ing room, where this dainty repast was served: Creamed chicken in heart-shaped patties, hot biscuit, also heart-shaped; ambrosia and pink-iced '; 'KeM Fnirepflsiee yp PjBfrl I If j'd Oak Leaf Design of Pebbles in Stucco. THE fireplace Is usually the dominant note in the living-room of a bunga low or summer cottage. It is planned to give an artistic effect, and should always be in Jiannony with the general character of the room. For a small, picturesque cottage of natural-wood, with the' living-room done in soft green finished oak and natural color burlap, a fireplace of gray stones would be very much in keeping. A novel and decorative touch might be given It by the mo saic of pebbles done in an oak leaf design. This the children can do on a rainy day, thrusting the colored pebbles they have collected into the soft stucco. INVO V The coronet braid is again In vogue. Paris has abandoned the directolre style.

This was merely grape juice with plenty of cracked ice. Souvenir Postcard Luncheon. A girl of ,16 planned and carried out this affair, which was really delight-fuL- The scheme is adaptable to church societies and club functions. In the invitations, which were issued on postals, the guests were requested to bring six of their most interesting cards and be prepared to tell "about them. The table centerpiece was a ball of ferns, in which were stuck wee silk flags of all nations. Each girl was given a foreign postcard and told to pick out the flag of 'the country from which it came and take her place nearest to that flag. The girl who had a card from Bern took the German colors from the ball, etc. Bonbon or nut holders were made by pasting paper cups on the corners of postcards; the guest's name was also written across the card. The ice cream was white with a stamp on one corner; the guest's initials being done with small candies. Afterward postal card stories were told and the fine collection of the hostess was thoroughly enjoyed. A Bird Party. The hostess said: "Please come wearing something to represent a bird." The dining room was gay with flowers and branches of fruit trees in blossom; there were several canary birds In gilded cages, and.the centerpiece was a jar filled with apple blossoms. Here are some of the birds represented: Blue bird, bobo link, bluejay, robin, blackbird, yellow hammer, cuckoo, Pheobe (girl had that name), magpie, eagle, catbird, parrot, cockatoo, redblrd. etc Pads and pen cils were passed, and a very jolly hour was spent, after refreshments, endeavoring to discover the birds rep resented. The confections were tiny candy eggs. A Sofa Pillow Shower. The bride-elect was one of a club of six. When she announced her en gagement the others planned a sofa pillow shower. Each one selected a pillow design, with colors that har monized. When all were finished, the bride was asked for a luncheon and found a cushion on her chair. With each course the cushion was changed, until all five had been presented, there being just five courses with this end in view. The pillow designs were all worked on burlap in the new stitches which are so effective and quickly done. This is certainly a new idea in show ers and a most acceptable one. aiADAME MERRI.

Straight front corsets still prevail, and the new shapes are long at the back. Irish crochet lace is the favorite for jabots. Metallic Lace, Among the many new and smart metal trimmings which the big shops are displaying in such tempting array are Irish crochet motifs of metallic cord instead of the usual linen thread. A wonderful evening wrap of silver gray, satin lined with empire green, had cobweb insects of aluminum in sleeves and deep hood collar. While these frail trimmings are ex tremely attractive, it is 'doubtful if they will be taken up for adorning wash blouses, for their perishable na ture is a surety. Satin Turnovers.

The final construction of the highest tunnel, which will be 9,941 feet long, through the Cumbre or Uspallata pass of the Cordillera of the Andes, has now progressed so far that in the Chilean section 2.84S feet have been perfo rated, while from the Argentine side the total perforation is 1.791 feet, ma king the entire length on both sides 4.639 feet of heading already bored. During 190S the second section on the Chilean side was opened and now reaches a place called Portillo, 11 miles searer to the Argentine frontier. This reduces the time occupied by the through journey by,, more than an hour; passengers starting from Buenos Ayres at S:20 a. m. one day will arrive at Valparaiso at 10:39 p. m. on th following day in all about 3S hours. The completion and opening, after 37 years of vicissitudes, of what is generally known as "The Transandine Railway" will be an event of trans cendent importance in the industrial and commercial evolution of the world. This line, together with its two links, the Buenos Ayres & Pa cific and the Argentine Great West ern, will unite the metropolis of the Argentine Republic with that of Chile by means of a highway of steel 88S miles long, which will traverse the extensive wheat fields of the Argen tine pampas or prairies, pass through the thriving vineyards of western Ar gentina, and, starting from Mendoza City, in the Argentine Republic, con tinue for the first 12 miles westward through the vineyards and orchards of Mendoza province. Gradually the low shrubs and trees characteristic of the slopes of the mountains appear and are followed by 140 miles of the sublime and lofty Cordillera of the Andes as far as the Chilean town of Los Andes, whence, conveying the traveler over a distance of IS miles through the smiling and fertile val leys of Chile, the western terminal at Valparaiso on the Pacific is reached.

Even in its nres-l ent uncompleted state it has already reduced the time required for the jour ney between Buenos Ayres and Val paraiso and vice versa, to a matter of less than 40 hours, which time it is to be hoped will ultimately be reduced to 29. The rapidity of transportation by this new route will be better under stood when one bears in mind that the voyage between Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres, via the Strait of Magel lan, by steamer, requires ten days. While the Transandine railroad route will be of inestimable benefit to the sister republics of Chile and Ar gentina in promoting their intercon tinental and overland domestic com merce, still greater benefits will ac crue to both countries as regards their international relations.

Posterity is yet dazzled by this ship, refulgent with purple and gold and melodious with flutes and lyres. If we are spellbound by Plutarch's de scription, it does not seem strange to us that Antony should have been he who could not only behold in person that wonderful Venus, but could be invited to dinner, and dine with her tete-a-tete, in a splendor of torches in describable; circumstances in no wise improbable for ihe beginning of the famous romance of the love of Antony and Cleopatra. And the development, of it was as probable as the beginning the follies committed by Antony for the seductive queen of the orient, the abandonment and divorce of Octavia, the war for love of Cleopatra kindled in the whole empire, and the miser able catastrophe. Are there not to be seen in the last century many men of MERICAN r of about nine days in its connection with Europe, and the journey to the eastern ports of the United States will be materially shortened, while Argen tina will have an equal advantage in rapidly reaching the west coast ot South America. The history of the Transandine rail way may be said to date back to 1860 when the North American captain of industry, William Wheelwright, for warded to the Royal Geographical so ciety of London a paper prepared by him showing the practicability of a transandean railway from the port ot Rosario. Argentina, on the Parana river, 1S9 miles above Buenos Ayres. The route proposed by Mr. Wheel wright, from Rosario to the Chilean port of Caldera, was about 900 miles long, and extended in a northwesterly direction across the 'Argentine Repub lic and over the pass of San Francis co into Chile. If the railway had been built, the western or Pacific terminus would have been placed about ten de grees north of Valparaiso. It was not until 13 years later, or in 1873. that the first practical steps for connecting Buenos Ayres and Valpa raiso by rail were taken. Two broth ers, Messrs. John and Matthew Clark, obtained in that year a concession from the Argentine government to construct a railway from Buenos Ayres across the republic as far as the western or Argentine-Chilean fron tier, in the Cordillera of the Andes. In selecting the route for the pro jected trans-continental railway trunk line SSS miles across South America from the Atlantic to the Pacific, senti ment and patriotism have played as large a share as utilitarian acd prac tical reasons. The'transandiae region in the heart of the Cordillera presents mountain scenery of a grandeur and bea.uty beyond description. From the summit of the Cumbre pass, on t)w natural international frontier of two great Latin-American republics, a wonderful panorama can be seen Across the Chilo-Argcntine dividing line. Mount Aconcagua, a weird mass of black basaltic rock and of dazzling snow is sharply outlined against the blue of the Andean sky. The height of this peak has been estimated by the German savant, Guessfeldt to be 22.SC7 feet Even in what is known as the open season, from November 1 to April 30 (the spring and sum mer of the south temperate zone), the journey on foot or mule back over the 109 miles of the Cordillera, from one republic into the other, is attended with much discomfort and difficulty. The undertaking becomes well nigh impossible in the depth of the austral midwinter, in August and September, when terrific storms rage throughout the Cordillera and the passes are blocked by tremendous snowdrifts and avalanches. Historically this entire Chilo-Argen-tine Cordilleran wilderness is replete with dramatic and human Interest. It was from Mendoza, during the latter half of January, 1817, that two great South American commanders. Gen. San Martin, an Argentine, and Gen. O'Higgins, a Chilean, conducted a well-equipped and armed expedition, composed of 5,000 Argentines and Chileans, westward across the Cor dillera, over the summits of the Cum bre and Los Patos passes into Chile, effecting the transit within three weeks, and on the 12th of February surprised and routed a Spanish royal ist army at the crest of Chacabuco. After little more than a year's cam paigning the two liberators won the brilliant battle of Maipu, April 5. 1818 and emancipated Chile from the rule of Spain. Elghty-fivo years later, in March, 1904. at the summit of the Cumbre Pass, nearly 13.000 feet above sea level, Chile and Argentina partici pated in the imposing unveiling of the bronze statue of "The Christ ot the Andes," erected as a solemn pledge of perpetual peace between the republics and as a memorial of hav ing happily terminated three-fourths of a century of vexatious boundary disputes by submitting their differ ences to impartial international arbi tration instead of to the dread ar bitrament of war.
