Some persons are like the human heart, inasmuch as they sprinkle rest ami kindness and heart's ease all through their daily tasks. They weave a bright thread of thankful happiness through the web and woof of life's pattern. They are never too busy to say a kind word or to do a gentle deed. They may be compelled to sigh betimes, but amid their sighs are smiles that drive away the cares. They find sunbeams scattered in the trail of every cloud. They gather flowers where others see nothing but weeds. They pluck little sprigs of rest where others find only thorns of distress. Like the human heart, they make much of the little opportupnities pre sented to them. They rest that tney may have strength for others. They gather sunshine with which to dissipate the shadows about them. The grandest conception of life is to esteem it as an opportunity for making others happy. He who is most true to his higher self is truest to the race. The lamp that shines brightest gives the most light to all about itGood Cheer. The Matabeleland Piano.

New Jersey and Long Island. At Long Branch the full rigged ship TTTfio /IfltTflTi ochnro on/1 hor crew was rescued with the greatest difficulty. A tugboat which had tried to save her was driven against the Iron pier, weakening it so that all but fifty feet of it was swept away. An unknown man who was on the pier when it went down was lost. Driven by the gale the tide rose to an unprecedented height along the coast. At summer resorts roads were washed away, hotels and cottages dam'aged and pleasure craft swept from their winter moorings and cast far Inland. Railway and trolley traffic was interrupted at several points in Long Island. Telephone and telegraph wires were blown down, rendering communication difficult. Ocean liners entering the harbor were delayed by the gale. The regular trips of ferryboats were suspended. The tide rose until West street was flnndorl nnri in Wnrlpm tile wnter ' poured into the excavation for the Rapid Transit tunnel. Panic was caused in City Island when the water rose above the sea wall and seemed about to sweep everything before it.

Annual Report of the Secretary of Ajfrlculturo Recommends Agricultural Investigations in the Philippines. ? Washington, D. C.?In his fifth annual report Secretary of Agriculture Wilson points out that, in view of the fact that the inspection and quarantining of cattle imported to this country affords only a relative guarantee against disease, it might perhaps be well to follow the example of Great Britain and exclude live stock from other countries entirely. Among other suggestions made in the report is one to the effect that agricultural investigations be undertaken in the Philippine Islands. Regarding the animal industry the Secretary goes on to say that the grand total of animals and animal products exported during the past year exceeded $250,000,000 in value. This vast foreign market is only preserved to our producers by the indefatigable efforts of the Department and the rigid inspection exercised through the Bureau of Animal Industry.' This Bureau inspected for export 385.000 cattle, 228,-' 000 sheep, 48.000 horses and mulej, and nearly 1000 vessels carrying live stock. Imported animals were inspected to the number of 342,000, and, where necessary, were quarantined. O& more than 5,000,000 inspected, the condemned carcasses were about one-fourth of one per cent.; of the 0,500,000 sheep one-tenth of one per cent.; of 24,000,000 hogs, oue-third of one per cent. In the control of indigenous diseases 1,500,000 inspections were made, and over 45,000 cars were disinfected in the Texas fever service alone. In combating the disease known as "black leg" the bureau distributed more than 1,500,000 doses of vaccine, the result being to reduce losses in affected herds to less than one per cent., whereas formerly it was in most cases about ten per cent. To aid in detecting tuberculosis in cattle and glanders in horses over 44,000 doses of tuberculin and 7000 doses of mallein have been supplied. The Secretary points out the serious evil resulting from a system of State inspection which, if it became general, would effectually prevent the marketing of live stoclf in some sections and urnni/i rfpcjirnv much of the usefulness of the Federal Inspection. The Secretary announces an important extension of the forecast field of the Weather Bureau, which now includes reports from certain points in the British Isles and on the Continent of Europe, from the Azores, Nassau, Bermuda and Turk's Island. An extension of th? forecast to farmers through the rural free delivery is contemplated. SUBMARINE BOAT TEST PERFECT. The Falton'Resta Under Water For Fifteen Honri, Breaking; All Recorda. " ?- /lu- TtTHU -irrtri/4 I\ew xors VjJl}'. ? Willi LUC nwu blowing sixty miles an hour and an abnormally high tide washing over her, the submarine torpedo boat Fulton rested on the bottom of Peconlc Bay. The six men who were In her for fifteen hours declared that they never spent a more comfortable night anywhere. They were Rear-Admiral John Lowe, U. S. N. (retired); Captain Frank T. Cable, Mate John Wilson, Engineer John Saunders, Electrician Harry H. Morrill and Boatswain Charles Bergh. At 7 o'clock p. m. Captain Cable closed the hatch of the Fulton's conning tower, and the boat sank out of sight in about fifteen feet of water. All night long she lay there, having absolutely no communication with the outside world, and utterly ignorant of the fact that the fiercest gale of forty years was sweeping over Peconlc Bay. The test was made to demonstrate the truth of the contention that the all in the Holland submarine boats is sufficient in quantity and quality to enable their crews to remain under ?-- x * on TIP. waicr xur piauutunj au iuuv,MM.?.v rlocl. Food to last .ill night and bedding enough to make all comfortable were placed in the boat, and the men took turns standing watch. Four hour watches were kept. Speaking of his experience Captain Cable said he thought that the last barrier to the acceptance of the Holland type of boat as available for use in time of -warfare was removed. He said he felt sure that the problem of air was one easily disposed of. but he did not expect such a wonderful demonstration as that which followed the submersion of the Fulton. FAMILY ENCAGED IN ROBBERIES. Son Concealed Himself In Stores and Opened Doora For His Father. Pittsburg, Ivan.?George Lane and family, consisting of his wife, a fourteen-year-old daughter and an adopted son, eighteen years old, have been arrested here, charged with being leaders of a gang that has been systematically robbing merchants of this city for the last year. Lane and his wife have been prominent in society and church work. They have a beautiful home in West Fourth street, where nearly $1000 worth of the stolen good? was found. It is charged that the boy would conceal himself in a store and be locked in when the store was closed, and then In the night he would open the rear door, after which the robbery was easy. The arrest was caused by the boy being captured in a store and con fessing. Lane is a coutracting builder by trade, and has always been considered a respectable citizeu. Warship Unfit For Habitation.

His purpose was to j surprise and rout them. The train '' bearing these troops was held up just s before it reached Culebra Station, owing to the Liberals opening fire on Al- i ban's advance guard.

The Government troops continued to advance, and the fighting was stubborn all along the railroad line, and continued until Empire Station, a mile and a half distant, was reached. The Liberal continued to retreat slowly, Alban's men following them until they eventually reached Matachin Station. Here he met ayd conferred with Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was returning from Colon on an armored train. It Is understood that Captain Perry will not allow the railroad to transport troops, consequently General Alban and his men were forced to push ahead on foot. The Liberals were under the command of General Lugo. Between the stations of Culebra and Empire more than 150 Killed and wounded men could be seen along the trackk The sight was grewsome. There Is no proper Red Cross organization, and the wounded iack care. WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT ACTS. Captain Perry, of the Iowa, In Command of United States Naval Forces. Washington, D.
