Sailors' Pickings.?Here and there on an Atlantic liner to midocean sailors with pots of paint and huge brushes painted cowls, stanchions, rails, everything they could reach. Suddenly dropping his brush, one of these sailors rushed to a man in a black suit "Oh, sir," he cried distressfully, "you've sat down on fresh white paint" With a roar the man leaped to his feet curved himself acrobatically and stared at the seat of his trousers. "But I've got a bottle of benzine in my bunk," said the sailor. "I'll run and get It. I'll have your pants all right in a Jiffy." Soon the pants were all right, and the man ere he strolled Jauntily off (a little wet and smelly, perhaps) gave the sailor a quarter. "That's the third today, Bill," the man snJri to his mate. "I tell vou. what with all this paintin', us jackies do durn near as well on tips as the stewards." "That's right." said Bill. "I made a dollar myself yesterday with that little bottle of benzine." It Didn't Come Natural.?"I have heard that man tell the truth once or twice," said one Wall street man talking to another. "He can tell the truth, I admit, but it does not come natural to him. He reminds me of the Russian moujik. "A Russian moujik sat one day in the anteroom of the military commissioner of the town. There was an anxious frown on his face. A friend approached and said: " 'What is the matter, Piotr?' " 'I am worried,' Piotr answered, 'about my son. I don't know what to say when the commissioner asks me about his age. You see, if I make him younger than he is he will be sent back to school, and if I make him out older they'll stick him in the army. What the deuce am I to do?' " 'How would It do,' said the friend thoughtfully, 'if you told the commissioner his exact age?' "Piotr slapped his leg and laughed delightedly. " 'The very thing!' he cried. 'I never thought of that!'" A Narrow Escape?When Mr. Hartman returned an hour later than usual, Mrs. Hartman asked him the reason, and his good natured face was solemn as he answered her. "I haf had one narrow escape from drowning, Katchen," he said. "How was that happen?" asked his wife as she helped him unwind the knitted scarf from his neck. "Tell to me it at once, Hans." "It was at the ferry that I came lats," said Mr. Hartman, "from the blocked cars, and the boat she was just starting. A man he called me out, 'Joomp, joomp!' and for one moment I thought to make as he said. But I reminded myself to be cautious and wait, and in one minute more, Katchen, came a great patch of water showing! Then I took holt of the post whereby I stood and said to myself, 'Hans, you were the wise man that you Joomped not at first when that man advised."? Youth's Companion. In Memory Of .?Old New England graveyards are not the only ones which contain curious epitaphs. The oldtime dweller of Maine who "died of a falling tree," as his headstone asserts, had a fellow in misfortune in far-off Austria, as is shown by W. A. Baillie-Grohman's "The Tyrol and the Tyrolese." A wooden slab, painted with the representation of a prostrate tree under which lies a man in spread-eagle attitude bears testimony to the violent death of "Johann Lemberger, aged fifty-two and three-quarter years. This upright and virtuous youth was squashed by a falling tree." The record of Michael Gerstner is even more succinct and convincing. He "Climbed up, fell down, and was dead."?Youth's Companion. Miscellaneous pending. GOMEZ HAS TROUBLE3. No Roee-Strewn Path For the President of Cuba. President Gomez has rough sledding, according to C&ssilly Cook, of the New York bar. Service in Cuba as a captain in the Spanish war and as legal counsel for the late junta, qualify Mr. Cook to speak of Cuban conditions. "President Gomez, his cabinet and congress will labor for a stable republic, but storms already gather in the course of Cuba's ship of state," said Mr. Cook to a Washington Post reporter. "The chronic political malcontents are again heard, but it is hoped the new president will prove a Ulysses-like pilot and steer clear of threatening rocks. "Stand a Cuban on his head," said Mr. Cook, "and if a pesato drops out of his pocket he is an annexattonlst sure, is a common slander. There is about $200,000,000 of foreign capital in Cuba, represented by astute politicians. and resident spanisn merenams i^resent $500,000,000 more. These Interests know the republic's failure will result ultimately In annexation to the United States, thereby greatly Increasing: present property values and attracting millions of foreign capital to Cuba. These interests employ several hundred thousand Cubans, and, naturally, put commercialism before republican sentimentality. It Is easy to start a Cuban revolution. A few disgruntled political leaders readily arouse the peasantry to Imaginary wrongs. "The fever spreads. A few hundred old rifles, several raids on plantations, a few harmless personal encounters, and a ready made insurrection Is proclaimed to the world, and the fate of the republic is imperiled. The opera bouffe revolution, financed by a few thousand dollars, assumes alarming proportions, and the representatives of seven hundred millions of capital will call Uncle Sam back to abide permanently. "If President Gomez, however, adopts the vigorous methods of Porflrlo Diaz in his regeneration of Mexico, there Is hope for a stable, lasting Cuban republic. The 'big stick' is needed. No 'mollycoddle* policy will avail. Chronic insurrectos must be jailed or deported, the willing workers given oto,,omninvmwit the Door and help OIVUUJ a less properly cared for, and the threatened lottery and other forms of public gambling strictly prohibited. Compulsory education of the masses, encouragement to foreign capital to invest in Cuba, inducements for immigration that will draw a much needed proletariat to develop her vast, uncultivated lands, and a new, mutually fair commercial treaty between our country and Cuba, making close, friendly political and commercial bonds will help Cuba libre to weather coming storms. The scramble for official spoils may make the infant republic tremble, but a hopeful, patriotic people are behind president Gomez. Let us hope they may succeed, and that Cuba will shine forever a bright star in the diadem of American republics." STUDENTS TRY HOUSEWORK. Domestic Service Sought By the Needy at Yale. Not in years has the bureau of selfhelp at Yale, which supplies work to needy students, been so pressed with demands for assistance as in the last few months. Some students have been forced either to abandon their course at Yale or to postpone it until better times to make money more plentiful and work less hkrd to And. "On account of the so-called hard times," said Prof. Kitchel, secretary of the bureau, in discussing the situation, "the remittances from home in many cases have been much smaller than usual and instead of the men being able to make up these defictences by getting extia, work outside there has been a dropping off in applications for helpers." For years the bureau has been aiding needy students to meet their college expenses by supplying them with work in the university and the town. The work has been confined almost exclusively to members of the academic department. Recently Prof. Kitchel made a thorough canvass of the unl versuy 10 asoeruuu hu? uuuiy mm Yale had been earning money In the last year to pay for their college education. Replies were received from 564 men, probably about nine-tenths of those who are working their way through Yale. They reported that they had earned $200,000 in round figures, of which $127,000 was earned in term time, while they were keeping up their college work, and the remainder was earned during vacation time. According to Mr. Kitchel the total amount earned probably reached about $215,000. Students at Yale this year are opening up new avenues of employment. Numbers of applications to do housework between recitations have been made to the bureau and last year sixteen men earned $1,055 by this means. Several needy Japanese students, who are determined to complete their education here and are short of funds, have applied for employment in families, as they are competent to cook and do general housework. One Yale professor this year is employing a very bright Japanese as butler, the young man between recitations finding time for his duties. Canvassing, although one of the profitable means of securing money, is on the blacklist of employments among Yale men. One student on his return from his summer vacation reported that he had earned enough money to carry him through that year working as a tester in a rope factory. Several undergraduates donned overalls and with trowel and mortar helped out expert masons in laying bricks. One Yale man worked as a meat cutter during the summer, while another was a fencing Instructor at a summer school. Another Yale man was a Pullman car conductor during the summer, while still another was a star tion master. Painting contractors both here and elsewhere employed Yale men to wield the paint brush during the rush last season, and others gathered in coin durincr term time and vacation. collecting geological specimens, working In a laundry, selling spring water and farming. Fourteen men who went into farming as helpers earned $2,834. One Yale undergraduate secured part of the money for the completion of his education here by doing sleight of hand stunts, while another was a cleaner on the stage of the local theatre. Carpentry, acting as pallbearer, wheeling an invalid's chair, fruit inspector and Interpreter were a few of the odd jobs picked up by Yale men during vacation time and between recitations. According to Prof. Kitchel work of this kind does not affect a student's jo cial standing here or his scholarship. In speaking of this he said: "Every year students who are working their way through college in considerable numbers are elected to membership in the various class and other societies. They carry off far more than their share of scholastic honors. In the class of 1906 thirteen out of the fourteen highest appointments at graduation fell to men who had received tuition scholarships; in the class of 1907 fifteen out of twenty-three. In the class of 1908, of the thirty-one members of Phi Beta Kappa fifteen had received tuition scholarships." AGRICULTURAL DECALOGUE. Rules That Are Abeolutely Necessary to Successful Farming. At an early period It was found necessary to evolve from the mass of ethical teaching, a few general rules for living, called "The Ten Commandments," by which a man could be moral without going through a course in theology. Just so, in order to Instruct the average farmer how to successfully conduct his farm operations so as to secure a great net gain from the farm, it is necessary to first deduce from the mass of agricultural teachings a few general rules of procedure. They are called "The Ten Commandments of Agriculture," by the practice of which a man may be a good farmer in any state without being a Graduate from a college of agriculture.

Hitting the Target la Simply a Matter of Mathematics. How do we hit with the mortars? An observer near the shore who sees the target communicates the horizontal and vertical angle at which to lay the mortar and the instant of time at which to fire, and the gun does the rest. If you were standing at the center of a large clock dial laid fiat on the ground and wanted to hit with a baseball a man walking around on the outside, you would notice how long it took the man to get from I to II and again from II to III. Then you would decide whether if the ball were thrown over a point halfway between IIII and V just as he arrived opposite IIII the man and the ball would reach the same spot at the same time, it being understood, of course, that he maintained uniform speed and direction and that the ball was thrown with proper force, inatmmonts c-ivo us the ranee and ob servations, and mechanical devices give us the range differences, increasing or decreasing by certain short intervals of time, too short for a ship of any size to escape by attempting to change direction or speed.

SMITH. | BIRDS AS MEN'S 8AVI0R8. Without Them Human Life on Earth Would Become Extinct Dr. Charles A. Babcock, originator of the bird day movement In the schools, which by legislative enactment, has been taken up by the schools of twenty-one states, drew a grewsome picture of life on the earth without Dira me at me oiuc ocuiciu?m house, in East 76th street, Wednesday. He based his predictions upon the fact that with man added to the natural enemies of birds their extinction would soon follow. With a passing reference to the peril of this state from the gypsy moth, which Is advancing from New England, Dr. Babcock drew a picture of man living on a small oasis harassed by a crawling creature, with his harvests and food gone. "It should be realized," he said, "that without birds to hold in check the insects, vegetable life soon would cease and life for man would become Impossible upon the earth. Birds are nature's check to the amazing power of insects to Increase. If insect life were allowed free course it would soon overpower plant life, and therefore animal life, including that of man, would De lmpossioie. inw is an astounding conclusion, but it Is the conclusion of science. "If the birds were gone, very soon the leaves would disappear from the trees and the limbs would be festooned with the webs of caterpillars or with masses of their nests. These would move from tree to tree, increasing by the million as they advanced. In the course of a few seasons there I would be no trees. "In the fields other species of insects would destroy the grass and the grain and all vegetable life, and the ground would be as if a sea of devouring mouths had passed over it. "Man, by his utmost efforts could preserve only small oases in this desert for a time. Then these would be overwhelmed and man himself would disappear."?New York Times. ABOUT QUAKES. Study of the Delicate Instrument For Recording Earth Tremors. Discussing earthquakes and how they are recorded, Fred S. Wood, a scientist of New York, who is making studies at certain government institutions, said that the seismograph is one of the most delicate instruments Known 10 science, me principle ui its action is very simple," he remarked to a Washington Post reporter. "It consists essentially of an upright stand, from near the bottom of which projects a horizontal rod, free to move in a socket at the inner end, and carrying a point at its outer end. A thin wire attached to the top of the stand runs down diagonally and supports the movable rod. "A weight is fastened at the outer end of the. rod to keep the supporting wire taut. At this outer end there is attached a long lever, which moves in such a vay that every motion of the end of th's rod, which is free to swing sideways, but not up or down, is magj nified about a dozen times. To the larger end of the lever is fastened a needle point, which presses upon a revolving drum covered with smoked paper. This drum is kept moving by j clockwork, with a perfectly equable motion, and at the same time it is automatically moved very slowly endways. The consequence is that the point of the lever being pressed continuously jpon It traces a smooth spiral line, passing round and round the [drum on the smoked paper. A now paper is added every day, and the drum is reset at the point of beginning, so that the tracings for each 24 hours are kept separate. "Now, if the point or tne lever is disturbed by any motion of the beam swinging it sideways the result is shown by the line on the drum becoming wavy or zigzag, and the greater the distrubance the larger the zigzags. The exact hour and minute of such a disturbance are automatically registered on the drum by means of a regular series of cross marks drawn on the paper by a time marker connected with the clock. Thus each piece of smoked paper contains a complete automatic history of the motions of the seismographic point for twentyfour hours. "The principle governing the swinging of the seismograph has been happily compared to that which is seen in operation in a gate whose supporting post leans a little inward, out of the perpendicular, so as to throw the weight upon the upper corner. Such a gate will swing one way or the other with every tipping of the post sideways." [NG TO DEB.

The opinion was not based on the public's knowledge of LIFE INSURANCE or the contracts Issued by the various companies, but on the statements of agents representing various companies other than the MUTUAL BENEFIT OF NEWARK, N. J. By reason of the severe trials through which life insurance companies have passed since 1905 and the wide publicity given the subject, the public now knows that all companies are NOT "about the same." During this trying period, because of the fact that during its entire existence, covering a period of sixty-four years, there had never been so much as an insinuation as to its integrity or business management, the business of the Mutual Benefit has gone on increasing each year, while the business of those companies that have had their sins uncovered have suffered enormously In loss of business, notwithstanding the fact that each of them is perfectly solvent and safe and as good as they have ever been. They are now trying to Imitate the principles that have governed the Mutual Benefit for Sixty-four Years, and laying great stress on their changed ways, but say nothing of its having been forced on them. Don't you think it would be safest, so far as your peace of mind Is concerned, when you buy insurance to insure in a company that has not a single act in its career for which either it or its agents need to apologize, and especially in view of the fact that it can and Will sell you a more liberal policy and at Less Cost.
