Keeping Men Out of Mischief.
To keep its men out of mischief a
big coal company Inaugurated the gar-
den habit among its miners. Result!
Pay day sees far fewer fights, much
less money spent for liquor and a

ger that besides these immediate ef-
fects many of the miners are now able
to raise a considerable part of all
the vegetables their families eat.
Some of the large iron and steel
companies divert their men with

of a great band at Bethlehem.
There are four bands or drum corps
at the Cornwall Ore banks, and the

Russia's extent may be gauged by
the fact that European Russia is In it-

The Russian empire comprises one-
sixth of the total land area of the

USE NIAGARA FALLS
Power- to Be Utilized Without
Affecting Beauty.
Engineers Have Worked Out Scheme
Which It !• Believed Will Give
Results Without Necessity of
Destroying the Falls.
Niagara falls is to be put to work
without affecting the scenic beauty
of one of the world's wonders, a plan
having been worked out to save and
utilize from 75 to 80 per cent of the
power now going to waste without
outraging the artistic sensibilities of
nature lovers. Two of the most im-
portant features of the fall, in a scenic
way, are the deflection of light
through the water as it curves over
the crest, and the rising spray from
the impact of the water at the base
of the cliff, and both of these features
are to be preserved. This is to be ac-
complished by an Ingenious arrange-
ment of penstocks by which a por-
tion of the water is caught as it falls
from the crest, Is led through the
turbines, and is then discharged into
the falling sheet of water at the foot
cf the clifT, care being taken not to di-
vert enough of the water through the
penstocks to impair the beauty of the
falling sheet.
The plan involves the building of a
permanent concrete crest for the falls,

stocks Below the Crest of the Fails,
Led Through the Turbines, and
Then Discharged at the Foot of
the Cliff.
to prevent future erosion, as well as
the construction of a tunnel across
the river back of the face of the cliff.
To divert the water from successive
sections so that this work can be
done, dams are to be made by build-
ing cribs in the river above the falls,
and then floating them down to a
point near the crest and sinking them.
After the work is completed, these
dams are to be removed by blasting,
or by unloading the cribs and float-
ing them to a new site.—From Popu-

Jerusalem's Canal.
Archeologists are manifesting much
interest in the discovery by Baron
Rothschild's excavating party of a
water canal at Ophel, in Jerusalem,
southeast of Temple place, which is
older than the famous canal of King
Hezekiah. It was also on a different
land level. The discovery throws some
light on the early water supply of Je-
rusalem. The Rothschild excavations
are still in progress.—Indianapolis

100 MUCH WARNING
If Parents Had Not Preached
Harry Might Not Have
Done It
By DONALD ALLEN.
Once upon a time a man of some
financial substance, but of a good deal
more dignity, saw in the* papers that
the son of a man a great deal like him
had married an actress and thereby
broken his mother's heart and caused
his father to hang his head in shame.
The "actress" was a chorus girl on a
salary of fourteen dollars per week,
and she spent her money for choco-
lates and left her poor husband to
bear all the expenses of the flat on
his ten. When he could no longer do
so, having been disowned by his
father, the wife ran away with a
butcher who wouldn't give even his
best customer a chunk of cat meat.
Mr. Frayne didn't take on so very
much about this affair, it being his
busy day, but when he. read the same
sort of affair again three months later,
with the addition that the ruined hus-
band had hung himself to a bedpost,
he turned to his wife.
"And we've got a son growing up,"
he said.
"Yes, and he's now twelve years
old," was sighed.
"Do you think I had better speak to
him about it?"
"I would. You cannot begin with
a boy too early."
And so young Harry Frayne was
called into the library and told these
two cases, and learned that they were
only two out of hundreds of like ones,
and then the question was put to him
with all parental sternness.
"Young man, would you marry an
actress?"
"But 1 never saw one, papa," was
the puzzled answer.
"That makes no difference—would
you?"
"1—1 guess not."
"If you ever do, sir, I shall disown
you."
"Then 1 won't."
No one in the Frayne household,
unless it was the cook, who would
have married an actor right off and
taken her chances of being choppea
up with an axe the next week, ever
attended a theater. It therefore hap-
pened that when young Harry had
reached the age of twenty-one and
was starting for Chicago to enter a
railroad office, his father did not think
it necessary to post him on any more
tragedies of the theatrical profession.
"I shouldn't hang around the vesti-
bule of a theater if I were you," he
said by way of advice.
"No, sir."
"Because an actress in front of the
house is just as dangerous as one on
the stage."
"Even if you don't speak to her?"
"Even so."
"Miss Barrymore dangerous?"
"I have said that they are all dan-
gerous."
"But why are they, father?"
"Be careful, sir, or I shall think
you are taking an interest. I will
answer this one question for you. It
is because they eat late suppers and
receive bouquets from brokers. If
you do not care to read evenings,
there is the Y. M. C. A."
A wooden-headed man would be
prepared for the natural sequence.
The evening of the young man's ar-
rival was spent in his room The
next one found him at a theater. He
entered with fear and trembling. He
was rather surprised that at least
six actresses were not. on hand to
welcome him. Such as were in the
play on the stage acted with just as
much propriety, and he quickly ob-
served that they were faivjbetter look-
ing than the girls in the audience.
"Why, there are rich people here
and nice people!" said young Frayne
to himself as he looked the house
over. "I wonder what father and
mother are so down on actresses
for."
And for the next year, except when
his father visited Chicago, it was
always two nights a week at the
theater and sometimes three, and then
the young man had an actress pointed
out to him on the street or in a
restaurant, but he thought them more
reserved than any other class. It was
months before he happened to be in-
troduced to one, and then by accident
and not by her stage name. They had
a few minutes' talk and though her
face and voice seemed familiar, it was
when he saw her on the stage again
that he fully identified her.
Young Frayne had good society
backing, and the more he talked with
people of social standing about the-
atrical people the more he wondered
at the opinions held by his parents.
It was at a gathering of distinction
that he again met Miss Bell, and they
sat together long enough to become
quite well acquainted.
It was then that the young man
learned from her own lips that he
had made the acquaintance of an
actress and no chill ran over him, nor
did he find himself gasping for breath
He found her not only winsome but
broad-minded and well educated and
well posted.
"And ever since my boyhood I have
been taught to dread them," he said
to himself as he walked home that
night
His father and mother arranged
that when he had his summer
vacation they should go away to-
gether, and one day in July found
them at a Lakeside hotel. A day or
two later brought Miss Bell, though
she had no idea that he was there
There were guests that knew her, and
people were discussing her before
young Frayne had a hint of her pres
ence It came from his father and
mother first.
"Well." said the former as the trio
sat by themselves, "I was given to
understand that this was a select
hotel."
"They seem very nice people," re-
plied Harry.
"You don't mean that a lot of for-
eigners have arrived?"
I mean that at least one actress
has arrived, and the guests are gath-
ering around her like flies about
sugar."
"Mercy me!"
"I believe that most of the th»
atrical people take a summer vaca-
tion," said Harry in a voice he tried
to make careless.
"But to come here," gasped the
mother.
"Perhaps It Is only to pay a call
on someone," hopefully observed the
father.
"Did you learn the name of the
actress who has set the hotel all aflut-
ter?" asked Harry after a moment.
"A Miss Bell."
The young man's confusion be-
trayed him. He knew that being ac-
quainted with an actress would be ac-
counted a deadly sin in the eyes of
his parents. The mother's look was
one of pity and censure, and the
father looked as stern as a judge
about to sentence a murderer as he
demanded:
"Harry, do you know this person?"
"If it is Miss Bell, the actress of the
city, then I know her," was the reply
"Have you been to the theater in
Chicago?"
"Plenty of times."
"You were Introduced to this per-
son—by whom?"
"By my hostess at a fashionable
function. Miss Bell* Is received in the
best society."
"They must have queer society in
Chicago," said the mother.
"You have disobeyed me, sir!" ex-
claimed the father, "and you must
take the consequences."
With that father and mother went
away to talk the affair over by them
selves.
Could they hire a blackhander to
blow Harry up with a bomb, and per-
haps the actress with him? Could he
be kidnapped aboard a vessel bound
for China, and given time to repent
before he returned?
To think that their Harry—Harry
Frayne—who had been brought up to
say his prayers—to have his Sunday
school lessons dead-letter perfect—to
obey his father in everything—to
think this boy of theirs had not only
attended a theater, but had become
"mashed" on an actress, and would
become her prey. When they reflected
upon all these things they found them-
selves cast into desolation.
In this condition of mind they went
out for a stroll along the shore of the
lake. As other guests were strolling,
too, and as they did not find the pri-
vacy desired, they entered a boat and
pushed out a few rods from shore.
Mr. Frayne knew as much about
handling a rowboat as he did about
the stage, and as he finally picked
up the oars to row a little he man-
aged to upset the craft. It wobbled
and rocked and dipped, and as he was
receiving a heap of gratuitous advice
from twenty different persons it
turned turtle and over they went In
water ten feet deep.
There was no other boat handy,
and as no man among those on the
bank wanted to wet his summer suit
and be called a hero, there would
have been a tragedy but for a lady
coming back in a boat alone after a
row across the lake. With half a
dozen swift strokes she reached the
victims as they rose to the surface
together, and a hand held either up
until help could come.
WTas the lady Miss Bell, the act-
ress, who had made prey of the son,
and was now inconsistent enough to
save the parents? Even so.
It was a triumphant procession to
the hotel. It was Miss Bell again
who acted as first aid to Mrs. Frayne
and general adviser to the husband,
and at the end of two hours both
patients were doing as well as could
be expected. In fact, they were doing
better. They had thanked the res-
cuer over and over again, although
aware of her profession, and now
they were saying to Harry, who had
been taking a long walk to get used
to the feeling of being disowned:
"There isn't one woman In a thou-
sand that would have been as cool
about it as Miss Bell, and she seems
a perfect lady In every respect."
"But why shouldn't she be?" asked
Harry with some irritation. "I must
tell you both that people will think it
is you two who need reforming a bit."
"Harry," said the father, "I'm not
going to disown you."
"Thanks, father."
"And your mother and I will go to
the theater to see Mls3 Bell play."
"And if you two should fall in
love—" said the mother.
"But one of us has already!" was
interrupted.

This Odor Is Safety-First Device.
An ingenious arrangement to safe-
guard a person from drinking the con-
tents of the wrong bottle has been in-
vented. The arrangement is placed in
the neck of the bottle and connected
with the stopper, which contains a sub-
stance that gives off a pungent odor
when the cork is removed. Not only
does it warn the person holding the
bottle but sends its pungent warning
all over the house. Should a child
tamper with a poison bottle, for in-
stance, members of the family would
know it the instant the cork was re-
moved and could rush to the child,
probably to prevent serious illness or
death.
Great Minds Had Same Thought.

ancient saying which is merely an-
other expression of the thought that
he who lives a pure and upright life
will sleep as a lovely and healthful
babe sleeps The mentally feverish

wrote: " 'God bless the man who first
invented sleep." So said Sancho Panza
and so say I." Thus giving a new im-
mortality to the immortal creation of
Cervantes, Spain's greatest writer.

"This is the headquarters of Gen
eral Puffupsky." "

tured by the Russian army."

ARE LEDJY GHOST
Russians See Skobeleff at Their
Head.
Belief Said to Be In the Ranks That
Great Commander Directs the
Movements of the Armies
of the Czar.
Some Russian soldiers have de-
clared they saw the figure of Skobe-
leff on his white horse, leading their
forces, as of oldr-into battle. To those
who know the profound impression
that wonderful man made on the Sla-
vonic mind, there is no improbability in
such a suggestion. Drawn so largely
from a primitive peasantry, the vast
host marshaled by the czar must con-
tain multitudes whose childlike imag-
inations are quite capable of conjur-
ing up their legendary hero In visible
form once more, warding off defeat
and pointing to victory. Even with
the less simple there may well be a
longing to have so famous a fighter at
their head in that great struggle he
predicted would happen, and in which
he would so dearly have loved to play
his part.
It was while the Russo-Turkish war
In 1877 was raging that, from the
midst of official incompetence and cor-
rupt favoritism, Skobeleff emerged as
the magician to whose wand victory
was ever obedient. Entirely by his
own merits, without the advantage of
illustrious birth, and against the op-
position of a prejudiced court, he had
won his general'sr epaulets before he
was 33. After the fall of Plevna, his
rapid passage of the Balkans in mid-
winter brought about the surrender
of Turkey's last army in the field and
this was speedily followed by the cap-
ture of Adrianople. He was already
at the gates of Constantinople when
Lord Beaconsfleld intervened to pre-
vent its occupation, and in the Berlin
treaty that ensued Skobeleff ever pro-
fessed to see the seeds of the harvest
we are gathering today.
As a soldier he created among his
men an enthusiasm for his leadership
comparable only to that won by Na-
poleon himself. A strict disciplin-
arian, visiting any breach of com-
mands with merciless severity, he was
the friend and companion of every
rank, a comrade who shared their
privations, fed from their camp pots
and merrily chaffed one and all.
He did not know the sensation of
fear, and faced the utmost dangers
with cool contempt. Yet always he
bore a charmed life. Horses were
killed beneath him, his staff fell shot
at his side, his sword was broken in
his hand, but no missile ever found in
him its billet. The story grew in the
army that he could not be wounded,
and some were found to declare they
were hit by bullets that could only
have passed through him first. It was
facts and fables like these, losing
nothing in the telling, that made him
the darling of the Russian people.

British Military Etiquette.
Wholesale enlistment in England is
responsible for some Gilbertian situa-
tions. For instance, a woman writes
to a newspaper to know what is the
proper thing to do under the follow-
ing curious circumstances:
She has two sons In Lord Kitchen-
er's army—one an officer, the other a
private. On one occasion she want-
ed them to take her to a theater, but
military etiquette does not permit of
officers and privates being seen to-
gether in public. Again, the brothers
cannot meet their mother's guests at
the dinner table for the same reason.
Socially, when in mufti, they rank
alike, but nowadays uniform is obliga-
tory on all occasions. Hence the tan-
gle.
Human credulity passes all limi-
tations. Before me lies a newspaper
story from Chicago: A man was on
his way to a savings bank to deposit
$145. Two smiling strangers met him,
fooled him with the story that they
had "a magic handkerchief" which
would double the stranger's money if
he would fold his bank bills within it.
After the operation, the strangers told
him to watch the handkerchief and
see his money grow. They disap-
peared. They had his money and tha
handkerchief contained waste paper.
Does this sound impossible?
Here is another story, ^even more
improbable, but true. In N'ew York a
company, appropriating the name of a
well-known corporation, advertised to
sell its shares at a bargain, and fixed
a price that' was just twice the stock
market price. A circular was sent to
the Italian quarter intimating that a
great opportunity was presented for
workingmen to secure an interest in
a wonderfully prosperous railway, that
only a few shares could be had, and
that they must be bought at once. A
rush was made for the stock, although
every daily paper printed the quota-
tion of the same security at half the
price at which the swindlers were
offering it. The police put an end
to the game. If people are so credu-
lous, is it surprising that the post of-
fice authorities report that $150,000,-
000 a year is taken from the gullible
by dealers in fake securities? If Wall
street did this kind of wretched busi-
ness, it would deserve reprobation.
None of the cheap mining, oil, plan-
tation, real estate and similar schemes
could get a foothold in the stock ex-
change because, before a stock can'be
listed, It must submit a detailed report
and show that it represents a legiti-
mate enterprise. This does not mean
that occasionally a stock is listed that
should not have been, but it means
that, as a rule, listed securities have
merit. Nor does listing mean that
they will advance in price. Securities
only represent business institutions
subject to the laws of trade, but
chances of profit in the purchase of
listed securities, or those that are sold
by representative bankers and brokers,
rather than by irresponsible peddlers,
should be the choice of every one who
has money to spare.—Leslie's Weekly,
HOW TO STOP DANDRUFF
AND LOSS OF HAIR
Here is a simple, inexpensive treat-
ment that will almost always stop
dandruff and scalp itching, and keep
the hair thick, live and lustrous: At
night, spread the hair apart and rub a
little resinol ointment into the scalp
gently, with the tip of the finger. Re-
peat this until the whole scalp has
been treated. Next morning shampoo
thoroughly with resinol soap and hot
water. Work the creamy-resinol lather
well into the scalp. Rinse with grad-
ually cooler water, the last water being
eold. Resinol ointment and resinol soap
are sold by all druggists.—Adv.

of St. Marguerite, where the ambul-
ances lay, three miles to the
rear. ...
He had been working at least forty-
eight hours, without cessation, but re-
fused to stop ministering to the
wounded, although by now his work
had been supplemented by the arrival
of two infantry surgeons. One of the
new medicos noticed that our surgeor
was in no condition to be on his feet.
A temperature of 103 degrees was
the record of the thermometer. Ex-
amination presently revealed a bullet
wound.
Under cross-examination our little
doctor admitted he had been hit three
days before.—A Captain of Royal Irish
Dragoons in Collier's Weekly.

HIGH STANDARD OF WRITING
Professor Pays a Tribute to Newspa-
per English, Which Is on the
Whole Deserved.
"I well remember the pleasure with
which, as a young man, I heard my
venerable and practiced professor of
rhetoric say that he supposed there
was no work known to man more dif-
ficult than writing," said Prof. George
H. Palmer, formerly of Harvard uni-
versity. "Up to that time I had sup-
posed its severities- peculiar to my-
self." He goes on to recount the ad-
vantages which children of today en-
joy over those of his own generation,
and hopes that some of them will find
the language he has used about the
difficulty of writing extravagant Then
be says:
"Let me say, too, that since frequen-
cy has more to do with ease of writing
than anything else, I count the newspa-
per men lucky because they are writ-
ing all the time, and I do not think so
meanly of their product as the present
popular disparagement would seem to
require. It is hasty work, undoubted-
ly, and bears the marks of haste. But
In my judgment in no period of the
English language has there been so
high an average of sensible, vivacious
and informing sentences written as
appears In our daily press.
"With both good and evil results,
the distinction betwen book literature
and speech literature is breaking
down. Everybody is writing, appar-
ently in verse and prose; and if the
higher graces of style do not often
appear, neither on the other hand do
the ruder awkwardness and obscur-
ities. A certain straightforward Eng-
lish is becoming established. A whole
nation is learning the use of its mother
tongue. Under such circumstances it
is doubly necessary that anyone who
Is conscious of feebleness in his com-
mand of English should promptly and
e arn.es tlv be trio tha cultivation, of it."

Act Not Covered by Law.
In a negro district a member was on
trial, charged with stealing chickens.
The evidence went to show that the
defendant had been found with his
foot In a steel trap at the door of the
hennery, while an empty sack lay near
by. The decision of the judge was to
this effect. "De co't finds dat de 'fend-
ant hadn't no criminal 'tentions. Dah
haint no law to p'vent a gemmen frum
puttin' his foot in a steel trap ef he
wants ter do it."

Europe's Richest City.
Which is the richest city in Europe?
Neither London or Paris nor Milan,
but Basle, the great Swisj railway cen-
ter, Zurich, in a neighboring canton,
coming second. This is proportionate
to the number of inhabitants. Basle's
richest citizen boasts a fortune of $2,-
500,000; another has $1,500,000, while
no fewer than 18 residents pay income
tax on a round $1,000,000.
Great Minds Had Same Thought.
"He giveth his beloved sleep," is an
ancient saying which is merely an-
other expression of the thought that
he who lives a pure and upright life
will sleep as a lovely and healthful
babe sleeps. The mentally feverish
Lord Byron, sleepless and distraught,
wrote: "'God bless the man who first
invented sleep.' So said Sancho Panza
and so say I." Thus giving a new im-
mortality to the immortal creation of
Cervantes, Spain's greatest writer.
The Way of Life.
Life no doubt is paved with enjoy
ments, but we must all expect times
of anxiety, of suffering and of sorrow;
and when these come it is an inesti
mable comfort to have some deep la
terest which will, at any rate to some
extent, enable us to escape from our
selves.—Sir John Lubbock.
