the people will tell who will be "the
other senator" after March 4th, 1909.
They keep o:i making new judicial
circuits whioh require the election
of more judges. Wouldn't it he wiser
to start all over again and lot each
county have its.own judge and prosecuting

The house refused to pass the hill
providing for the licensing of secret,
orders. The purpose was to strike
at the "befo day" clubs said to he
, in existence among the negroes. .11
may be unwise lo require lice.ises
from all secret organizations but
some plan lo get the names of negroes
who are members of the clubs
referred to should be devised, ii such
clubs arc really in existence.

How She Made Her Coffee.
A suburban family has a servant j
who is an excellent conk, but insists
upon making all her dishes strictly
according to her own recipes, says an
exchange. Iler mistress gave her
full swiiej not only as to cooking, but
as in tli,? purchasing of supplies. The |
other day the mistress said:
"Nora, Ihe coffee yon are giving
us is very good. What kind is it ?"
"It's no kind at all, mum," replied
the cook. "It's a mixer."
'' I low do you mix it'?''
"I make it one-cpiarler Mlocha and
one-<piarlcr .lava and One-quarter Rio.
" H<nl tlial's only three-quarters.
What do you put in for Ihe other
quarter?"
"I put in no quarter at all. mum.
That's where so many spiles the eof-i

It has been said that Ihe most monotonous
form of labor is gumming
lab.als. Hul there are many others
which come very near it.
In the boot and shoe trade, for instance.
the work is divided alonb as
many workers as possible. One will
thus make a single cut in the leather,
and another give one turn of the machine
handle. I.i some cases, a pair
of shoes have passed through fifteen
Apalrs of hands before reaching eomI
del ion,
"A'fc a natural result. I here are workins
who week after week go on performing
the same work iinndred? of
times a day. Indeed, in one factory
there is a woman who for fifteen i
years has sewn only one seam. Her
machine works so rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdrawing.
Fellow Churchmen.
The late Rev. Or. John Hall was
once walking home from preaching
at a Sunday night meeting out in the
country. In the moonlight he saw a
man lying drunk in the gutter, a ad
poing up to him gave htm a shake.
''Here!" lie said; "it's a shame
for a nice, respectable looking man
like you to be lying in the gutter."
The man opened his tips\ eyes and
saw the long, black coal.
"Are you a minister'.'" he asked.
"Yes," said Or. Hall; "come, get
up."
" IVesbylorian ?" queried the inebriate.
"Yes," was the answer, somewhat
impatiently. " I am."
"Then," said the other, "help me
up, 1 am a Presbyterian myself." ?

Twontleth century science is dlssatls*
flod with the accepted figures of the
earth's weight, says The World Toddy,
and Americans are planning to weigh
It again.
The last time It was done was more
than half a century ago, when, under
Alr.v's direction, pendulums were
swung at the top and llu> bottom of an
English coal pit.
The comparison of their times of
swing sliowoil how heavy the whole
earth was compared with the outermost
thin shell, a shell of the thickness
of (he depth of the coal pit. Since
geologists were able to give a fair estimate
of the weight of this surface shell
the weight of the entire earth became a
mere matter of multiplication.
The same experiment is to be repeated
by a Hcientllle expedition from the
survey department at Washington.
Pendulums are to be swung at tho
apex of the great pyramid of Egypt
and in tho chambers at its center and
base.
From tho swing of these pendulums
tho comparative weights of the earth
and of the pyramid can be learned;
and, the weight of the pyramid having
been estimated, the weight of the earth
will again be a mere matter of multiplication.

A strange story recently came to
light about a young Ontario boy, nnd
It is to the effect that ho has becomo u
king among tho South Sea islanders,
says an Ottawa correspondent of tho
Chicago Chronicle. Ills name is Thomas
Darling, and ho Is the son of a smalj
farmer at Sparta, Ont. It seems that
ho had a fancy for going about without
any clothes on, although sane and rational
upon every other subject. IIo
went to Honolulu, but was transported
from there to San Francisco on account
of (his fad. He was a student
at Stanford university for awlillo and
was known there as "Barefoot Bill,"
aiul when he was expelled from thero
on account of his queer antics about
clothing he went to Tahiti and has now
become a virtual king among the South
Boa Inlanders.

5 Tho good housekeeper's cellar is ue
clean and well aired as her parlor. It
* is even more Important than the para
lor, for a damp, dark, dank, dingy,
J" fJJrty cellar is the breeding place of ty?
* phold fevor, malorla, diphtheria and
0 other ailments.
' The point of first Importance In a'
cellar is to see that It Is well drained,
dry and paved with either stone or ce
rneut. Sometimes veins of water burst
e up through cellar floors. These must
1 be conducted away In drains. Care
>- must be taken to see that the cellar
drain is never choked. If vegetables
have been kept In the cellar through
the winter, every vestige *f them must
r be removed, and the walls and ceiling
u must be swept and whitewashed; then
c clean all shelves, wash the floor and
1 air and dry thoroughly. Every day
; > during warm weather the cellar should
o be well aired In the morning.
t
e Furs and Woolens. I
a *
t Before putting away fur and woolen
u garments they should be thoroughly
* cleaned and repaired. White fur can
o be cleaned by rubbing into it sawdust
o saturated with gasoline. Hub dark
furs with a sponge dipped in gasoline.
Be careful not to use the gasoline near
a fire or llame. After furs have been
cleaned and aired sew them up In cotton
bugs to keep moths out. Long cloth
coats and cloaks can be kept from
moths In the same manner by sewing
them Into full length cotton bags and
suspending them from hangers In the
closet. Blankets after being washed
and woolen articles nifty be wrapped |
In old sheets iu a wuy that will protect
them entirely from moths, If none of ?
these have already found lodgment.
Castofl! woolen garments should bo
brushed, wrapped In cotton clotha and
put away in the attic till fall. wheD
they may bo given to the poor.
