"As a member of tols body for many years from Charleston 1 would be )a? king in self respect, carele-s of your est eem, If 1 permitted this r< ckless, unjust, untrue charge of bargain and sale of my convictions, and my convictions on this measure remain unchanged. No bargin was ever made to my knowledge, nor was my vote inspired, influenced or control ed by a barroom element or any other eli ment or person whatever, and the charge so boldly made Is lacking In truth and dignity. 1 voted for local option because I believe the people] have a primary and fundamental right to say and settle for themselves wiju.1. euey want. Furtnerinore, 1 would have voted for the Morgan bill if Charleston never got the option of high license, although 1 believe Char leM on should get what she wants and evi ry other county shculd have the fttLme privilege. It is not my purpose to retaliate with abusive epithets but simply to make this statement in vindication of my Attitude and vote and in deft renca to my friends in this body whose good opinion I vslue.

I certainly would not have be romc a canldate, if 1 iiad thought I would not have the right to give expression to my convictions on the Moor of the house, as unmistakably as I knew how, just as for 20 years I havo from time to time in public print." Mr. Sinkler's remarks were accepted as they were given. Mr. Kershaw briefly commended them and moved that Mr. Sinkler be given permission to print his statement in the journal of the hcu<e. Mr. SL.kler modestly stated that he did not care for the privilege, but the house granted it anyway. An Irish Indian. Having been described in The Washington Post as a noble red man, Lawyer Robert L.

Manufacture of Gun Flint*?Still Used In Africa and Asia. Probably the oldest established buslnoas in the world ia at Brandon, in Suffolk, where the manufacture of gun lliuta kaa been carried ou aa the aucceaaor to the prehistoric manufacture of arrow heads from the aamo material. It is estimated that for more than ten thousand years lllnt working has been carried on at that apot; the only change made since those early days being in the Introduction of metal tools for working the flinta in place of the atone and horn of the average. Gun Hints are still in use in various parts of Asia and Africa, where the possession of percussion cartridges is forbidden to the natives. The average weekly production is Btill 150,000, though in tho days when the Hint lock was the universal arm millions were turned out weekly, since Brandon Is noted as producing the best flints made. Gun flints are not the only product, however, for in I^atin Europe tho "strike-a-light" is still given the preference over matches, and of these about twenty thousand a week are manufactured for the Italian and Spanish trade. During the lloor war 14,000 flints were Inann/I ~ D..I4U.L A ? -1 IOOUCU lu liiU Ui IIIE>11 liuupa it 1111 Wlil *3 found valuable in emergencies where the ordinary match would not have served. The strata of flint are in five layers on Llngheath Common, a mile southeast of the village. Each miner works by himself, employing the same methods ns were followed by the earlier workmen, the ground being uncovered in layers or "steps," that the dirt may ho carried away without the use of windlass and buckets. The product is sold to the chlppera, who work at their homes in the village. In spite of the fact that each blow of the hammer Is from a different angle and Is struck with various force, the workman Instinctively guides the chisel and the flakes fall Into the baskets in an almost continuous stream. They are shaped with a chisel-like hammer on a block of iron and aro then packed into barrels containing from 5,000 to 20,000 each. Child Marriages in India. More than 250,000 girls In India, 5 years of age or less, were already married when the last census was taken, and of these necessarily many have become widows. Between 5 and 10 years the number of married girls was well over 2,000,000, between 10 and 15 years it had risen to nearly 7,000,000. Of course, to the girls in the first two categories marriage meant nothing moro than a contract entered into for them by others, long before they themselves wero capable of understanding it; many of them had been bound by engagements when they were still children in arms; some had even been betrothed before they were born. Most nf tho wldniva nf cnrOi tondor years become so before they know what widowhood means. It Is only as they grow out of Infancy that they learn the sad life to which they are condemned, a life of misery which is inconceivable to people of western countries, yet i? enforced by Hindoo customs. It is a life of hardship, of unmerited shame, of irksome penances and of wearisome attendance at religious functions. Though the English law in India would recognize the legality of a remarriage of these youthful widows, Inexorable custom forbids It and its occurrence is rare. There were in India in 1901 nearly 420,000 widows under 15 years of age, of which nearly 20,000 were less than 5 years old. Measuring Eye Jumps. Wo know that an eye, at ordinary reading distance, takes in ahout one inch of a line at a time, and that in reading a line of an ordinary book the eye makes five or six (more or lees, according to the length of the line) distinct jumps. But how many know what direction the eye takes in making these jumps? And, as the movements aro so very minute and rapid, how have 1 they been studied? A very ingenious means has been employed, as follows: A beam of light is thrown upon the ' cornea of the eye under examination, and this beam is reflected by the cornea on to a photographic plate. As the eye moves In readine the reflected henm also moves, and upon developing the plat?, which Is alao kept moving, a zigzag line Is found. A study of such photographic tracings shows that the eyes In turning back to pick up the , next line have some difficulty In so doing. The longer the line of print the greater the effort, and for this reason we may conclude that a narrow line Is better for an eye than a long one, and If the line be much wider than the ordinary newspaper column there Is greater effort Involved.?Jewelers' Circular Weekly. i Whale Meat Instead of Beef.

American the Most Rapidly Augm?nt< ed Naval Center. The American navy has became so great numerically that the old American way of listing warships, that is, according to their wise, has had to be abandoned. The offloers of the navy have beeu compelled to ape the British in style of listing, which disregards size, and write down the mimes In alphabetical order. The outlook is that the fiscal year 1905-t) will see more shipe of groat fighting power added to the American list than any llko period in the history of the world. The tonnage of armored Hhips of the first rate has risen from 59,619 to 154,544. During that period such well known vessels as the battleship Texas, the cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia, once the fastest warships In the world; the Olympia and Chicago, the latter a member of the first white squadron, have dropped down among the second an third raters. The monitor Puritan has also been dropped down among the nondescripts. The only branch of the navy that has not shown a great increase in a period of four years is that of tugs. There were forty tugs, then, and the list still shows that number, although two of the old ones have disappeared, but new ones have taken their places. Instead of 19 torpedo vessels there are 58 second-rate ships. There are 17 48, as against 73, and under construction 39, as against 60. The ships now under construction comprise 13 Ilrst-rate battleships and 6 first-rate armored cruisers, as against 10 battleships then and only 4 armored cruisers. The big t-otal of 60 was made up largely of torpedo boats which have been completed and are now in service. Might of the 10 battleships then under construction have been finished. Of the 13 battleships under construction now, 11 have been authorized since the Incoming of President Roosevelt. 1 Japanese in the Wool Market. Japanese enterprise in various manufacturing industries is being felt in the Japanese markets by British and German traders, JSrnest l. Harris, commercial agent at Elbonstock, Germany, writes on this subject: "The products of Japan's industries are gradually forcing themselves Into various markets of tlio world where their competition is being keenly felt by English and German traders. Japanese ingenuity and Industry are beginning to exert an influence to such nu extent that their exports are increasing, while at the same time the markets in Japan are passing more and more into tlie hands of home manufacturers. This is causing a reduction of imports, it lias long been thought that the Japanese were masters of tho art of imitation", but it is now generally admitted the world ovor that they also possess powers of great initiative. "A. recent report of the British consul at Kobe records the fact that the Import of cotton yarns shown a big decrease, due to the increased growth of the Japanese industry, which is gradually but surely ousting Lancashire coarse cottons from the Japanese market. Among woolen manufacturers the outlook lor imported goods is not very bright. The manufacture of flannels in Osaka has inproved to such an extent that imports of this article have fallen off considerably. Japanese manufacturers today are producing the cheapest kind of cotton underwear, socks, tonet sor.ns and lamps. The indigo and tobacco trades are also rapidly passing into Japanese hands." Get Out of Prison by Marrying. In some parts of Siam girls who reach a certain age without marrying are placed in a privileged class under the special care of the king, who binds himself to And a husband for them all. His method is simplicity itself. A prisoner in any one of the Siamese jails may gain his pardon and release by marrying one of the ineligible class. Whether ho is already married or not is of no groat consequence, for in Siam a man is not restricted to oae wife; but still many priseners prefer jail. We Usually Find Our Level.
