MAKING ARTIFICIAL NUTMRO
Belgium Manufacturer* Manage to
Make a Clever Imitation.
According to Fuer A lie Welt, there
are made In Belgium artificial nutmega
In so clever a manner that they
can hardly be distinguished from
geuuiue ouch, especially If mixed with
the latter. A chemical analysis has
shown them to consist of a mixture
of finely powdered nutmeg (from
extracted or Injured kernels and
about 20 per cent, of mineral substances.
The following means of detection
are recommended: 1. When
the kernels are cut the well-known
plant like structure so characteristic
tn genuine nutmeg is absent. 2. If
the kernels are treated for three or
four minutes with boiling water they
become soft, and can he rubbed up
into a powder with the finger* 3.
Upon being burnt they leave about
18 per cent, of ashes, while true nutmeg
contains but 2 to 3 per cent. 4.

Taint and Ocean Travel.
"The worst feature of ocean travel
Is never mentioned in Btearnshi]>
company prospectuses or In books of
travel." s?id a returned tourist. "It
Is not seasickness, for only a few are
taken that way In the new ocean
greyhounds, that neither rock nor
pitch. It Is not the narrow quarters
or the Inferior cooking or the tipping
huhit. It Is ]aiint. There Is
always wet paint on an ocean
Hteamer, and there Is never a sign
on it to warn passengers. The
modern sailor Is a painter, constantly
wielding the brush, always painting
some part of the ship or other.
There Is hardly a passenger on an
ocean liner that does not land from
a voyage with some article of apparel
damaged by puint. A sailor told me
once that evey ship Is entirely repainted
Inside and out at least three
times a year. The work goes on
constantly In port nnd on the sea,
and the passenger can never escape."

Karl lest Lighthouse on Record.
The Pharos of Alexandria which
was considered to be one of the seven
Wonders of the World, on account of
Its grandeur and utility, is perhups
the flrsi lighthouse of which we have
any definite description. It stood
on the island of Pharos at the entrance
to the harbor of Alexandria,
and it is snid to have been constructed
about 3 00 years before the
Cnristian 13ru by Sostratus Cnidlus
and was dedicated to the "(iods protectors
of the safeguard of sailors."
The height of the original tower la
given as 4 50 feet, but Joseph us
writes that the light was visible at
a distance equal to above 3 4 English
miles. This would have necessitated
a height of about 550 feet.
Huge Ventilating Phmt.
The largest mechanical ventilating
plant ever placed under a single
roof is that recently constructed for
the Carnegie Library extension at
Pittsburg. It has an aggregate capacity
of moving over 600,00 cubic
feet of air per minute. The plant
consists of a number of small units
M. 1. I ~ *
niitvu ib regaraea as more effective
than large emits and easier of installation.
There are 1 F? fresh-ail
stations, having 19 funs, and 21
exhaust stations, having 30 fans.
The heating apparatus iH entirelj
separate from the ventilating systeir
and the air is delivered by the lattei
at the normal temperature of tht
rooms supplied.
Marrying in England.
Kvery year from 800 to 1,200 couplet
come to England from the continent
mostly from Germany, to get married
To comply with the conditions of th?
English law the bride usually comet
over first, stays one night in a bote
and gives notice of the marriage oi
the following day. Then the mar
arrives and the ceremony takes place
It Is generally by license, as other
wise both would have to be In Eng
land for four weeks.
Rat Paste Causes Fire,
The remarkable discovery has beer
made that many of the recent grea
bush fires In New South Wales ant
Victoria, Australia, were caused b;
the phosphorus paste laid down t<
kill rabbits. The paste is laid dowi
by the ton In all the rabbit-lnfeste<
districts. As soon as the mixturt
dries it catches fire under the hea
of the sun's rays and starts disnstrou
conflagrations.
Helling Genuine Diamonds.
There is a very easy and slinph
way to tell if a diamond is genuine
says an expert. Make a small dot oi
a piece of paper with a lead pencil
and look at it through the diamond
If it shows but a single dot the dla
niond Is genuine; if it shows mor
than one, or the mark appears scat
tered, it is false.

The Jains of India, a lieterodo:

and among them fasts of thirty, fort;

ed nothing out of the way, hut onl;
as an ordinary part of their wor

Poetry Worth . Reading
The Boys of Long Ago.
When I go Acwn to Oungawampw
As now and then I do,
I run across some good old chap
Whom long ago 1 knew.
And he wtll want to stop and talk.
And pass the time o' dny
Ar.u j.sk how 1 have got along
Since 1 have been away.
"Uv course," says he, "yew understand
1 ain't a-noetn' 'ouad
Inqolrin' Intew yewr affaire.
But Bill, I'll Jest he hound,
I'd kinder Hke ter know how much
Yew've made; uv oeuree, yew
know
We' re interested tar the boys >
Who lived here years ago."
And Aunt Ellaa, good old soul,
She meet a me ot\ the street,
And makes inquiries for "the folks'*
In tone and manner sweet.
Then, confidential like, she says:
" 'Taln't true, Bill, what they say,
Yewi wife goes aous tor work ter
help
Her liushan' pay kls way?"
1
Another one will hem and how
And say: "Bill, is it true
That yew hev trouble with y?wr
wife
Ez people say yew dew?
Uv course, I ain't a-meddlin', Bill,
I jest wanted ter know;
Becuz we're Interested in
Our boys of long oga."
The Deacon's Compromise.
Deacon Eliakim's conscience so
st long
Told him the circus was wicked and
wrong;
Nothing at all but a snare and a
wile,
Luring the soul to destruction the
while.
Nevertheless, when the music would
play, ,
Ittb tickling Jollity holding its sway,
Deacon Eliakim wandered within?
I liUOKing ai annnnis wasn t a sin.
Thus on this multiple cJtcub of Life
Deacon Elinklm's scruples were rife;
All of Its beauties and spangles and
clownR
He would denouueo with mout virtuous
frowns.
Nevertheless, when the fan reached
Its height
Deacon Ellaklm saw a great light;
Man Is but fresh, so he wandered
within?
Looking at anlmnls wasn't a bin.

The Endless Day.
Sometimes 1 dream of following the
sun,
With even pace, from land to land
afar,
Basking In sunshine, with no
night to mar
The endless day, forever but begun,
Then should I see no more the dying
flowers,
The naked trees, the fields frost
bound aiul bare,
iiit-; MiuwiiUKos sweeping uirougl
tho Icy Hir,
Nor long for spring through dreary
winter hourB.
And yet?no more to see the sun
arise
And mount the sky, the conqueror
. of night,
No more to watch him as he proudly
dies,
[ In gold and purple clouds withdrawn
from sight?
If these were lost, what could we
count for gain?
Better to bear stern winter's chill
disdain.
' Ninette M. Lowater.
A Home in the Heart.
! Oh, ask not a home in the mansions
of pride.
Where marble shines out in the
pillars and walls;
i Though the roof be of gold, it is
brilliantly cold.
And joy may not be found in its
j torch-lighted walls.
But seek for a l>oaom all honest and
j| true.
Where love, once awakened, will
i never depart;
1 Turn, turn to that breast like the
dove to its nest.,
And you'll find there's no home
like a homo in the heart.
Oh, link but one spirit that's warmly
sincere,
That will hoierhton vntir nlona-ira
i and solace your care;
t Find a soul you may trust as the
I kind and the Just,
v And he sure the wide world holds
^ no treasure so rare.
Then the frowns of misfortune may
shadow our lot.
* The cheek-searing tear drops oT
a sorrow may start,

Who can turn for repose to a
home iu the heart

The True Home.
What are those whom we meet in
society to us as compared to our own
home circle? Why do we take pains
to be polite and agreeable to them
and neglect those who have the
strongest claims upon us? It all comes
about because we have got into the
wrong way of thinking. We have put
the home in the background, when it
should occupy the foremost place in
our thoughts. We should strive to
make ourselves such members of the
household band that our absence is
like the loss of sunshine from a summer
day.
We can do it if we enter into the
right spirit of home. The idea seems
to exist among us that to be polite
to each other in the family circle is
foolish and like "putting on airs."
We must rid ourselves of this notion
and act on the principle that whatever
helps to make our intercourse
pleasanter with those outside the
family circle should be brought into
use there.
What have you set your heart upon?
Is it upon wealth, or position,
or fame? Then let us tell you that
you may pile your gold to Heaven,
you may scale the dizziest heights
of success, your name may be heard
on every street, and you may still
have made a dismal failure of your
life. Have you ever heard of a man
who was happy because he had outdone
every competitor? Never. The
supreme lesson of history is this,
that a dry crust with a clean conscience
is more to be desired than
millions of dollars with an aching
heart.
Let your ideal he to pursue and
practice the highest truth, to master
fully the christian science of right
living, and not merely by your own
vanity and selfishness in gaining a
few more pounds than you can spend,
or to intriguing for positions which
will bring you terrible responsibilities
which you are sadly unfitted to
carry. Let your ideal be to build up
a manly character, and then everything
will fall into its proper place.
Change.
T The secret of happiness is constant
change within the limitations of rea'
son and common sense. A rut in the
human soul is like a rut in the road,
dangerous and upsetting. If we must
remain at the same tasks year after
year for nearly the whole of lifetime,
then it should be our constant
effort to get all the variety we can
into our lives in other ways. The fact
that farmers' wives go insane more
than any other class of persons is attributed
to the terrible monotony of
their lives, which are one unceasing
,1 i i i. A L;
iwuiiu ua iiaru wuik. /\ inacninc
bearing on a single point of metal,
wears out that point speedily. It is
precisely the same with our lives.
One dull round of thought, doing the
same tasks at the same hour year
after year, will break down the finest,
strongest brain.
So get out and have a vacation. At
least give yourself a vacation of
thought. Read new things; walk
along fresh roads; look at new pictures
and new buildings. Invite
fresh new thought always to your
soul; so shall you keep always young.
Be not so sure that your fondest theory
is exactly the correct one. Standing
still is decay and death.
Hold the same plow handle, bend
over the same desk forty years, with
your thoughts chained down to them,
and you become a humped shouldered
old hunks?blind, deaf, weak and
disagreeable. Keep up with the wagon.
Change your old views and habits
for new and better ones when you
find them, and be always on the lookout
for them.
Was Young Once.
Bill Nye, when a young man, once
made an engagement with a lady
friend of his to take her driving of
a Sunday afternoon, says Harper's
Weekly. The appointed day came,
but at the livery stable all the horses
were taken out save one old shaky,
exceedingly bony horse. Mr. Nye.
hired the nag and drove to his
friend's residence. The lady let him
wait nearly an hour before she was
ready, and then on viewing the disreputable
outfit, flatly refused to
accompany Mr. Nye. "Why," she
exclaimed, sneeringly, "that horse

Mr. Nye replied, "when I arrived

8ET FIRE TO PIER.
To Cover Shortage in Account* With
His Employers.
Short in his accounts and expecting
the arrival of an auditor of his
company, George P. Decker, agent
of the United States Express company
ai Old Point Comfort, Va.,
robbed the safe in his office and set
fire to the Federal pier on which the
office was located.
In a few minute the pier house
was enveloped in flames, and the
fire alarm guns called out a large '
detachment of soldiers. All efforts
to save the pier house or its contents
were in vain.
In the couflagration were destroyed
the offices of the Adams Express
company, United States Express
company, Old Bay Line, New Bay
Line, Baltimore Steam Packet company,
Old Dominion Steamship company
and other lines.
Decker was suspected and when
arrested by detectives, he broke
down and made a complete confession.
He said he filled a large box
with excelsior, piled other books on
top of it in the middle of his office
door and set fire to the heap.
Then he fled and hid himself to
await developments. The prisoner
admits that he was short in his accounts,
and that he learned an auditor
was coming to examine his books.
He took $60 in cash from the safe, .
and, it is understood placed the

PltKDHTK PAY OF DOOM.
"Lnst of the Prophets" Says It Is
Nineteen Mont lis Away.
Lee L. Spangler, who has styled
himself for a number of years as
"the Last of the Prophets," has issued
another of his remarkable bulletins.
This time he is more specific
in his statements.
He now asserts that the world will
come to an end in nineteen months.
He warns all the people to beware
and look out for the dissolution of
the world.
Spangler says there will be no
more seasons; that summer and winter
will be as one, and there will not
be any way of telling one from the
other. Snow in July need not be a
surprise, and sleigh riding is likely
to be one of the summer pastimes.
He adds:
"There will be more black spots to
occur on the sun's disk, and by the
latter part of 1908 the sun will he
! entirely black. The earthquakes will
shake all the principal cities of the
nations. Great excursion wrecks
will occur, and there will be great
i distress in the land until the end
shall come."

Victims of Crash.
A dispatch from Savannah, Ga , to
the Augusta Chronicle says Engineer
Daniel Bowen and Machinist William
T. Harrison met their death at 3
o'clock Wednesday morning in a
wreck at the crossing of the Central
of Georgia and the Charleston and
I Savannah railroad,
i The light engine Bowen was driving

I slightly bruised about the face, his
escape being regarded as miraculous.
Harrison crawled from beneath

that he be killed to relieve his terrible
agony. He welcomed death when
it came.
PAPER OUT OF STALKS.
i GafYney Ledger Reports a Very Imi

The Gaffney Ledger says that the

1 the cotton stalk, and that the wood
will make a good quality of paper.

Tribute to Women.
. Place her among the flowers,
i foster her as a tender plant, and you
. will thus make of her a tender plant,
. and she becomes a thing of fancy,
; way-wardnessand folly. She is annoyed
by a dewdrop, fretted by the
touch of a butterfly's wing, ready to
! faint at the sound of a beetle or the
rattling of a window-sash at night,
5 and is even overpowered by the per
fume of a rose bud.
But let real calamity come, rouse
' her affections, enkindle the fires of
her being and mark her then how
. strong is her heart. Place her in the
i heat of battle, give her a child, a
I bird, or anything to protect, and see
her lifting her white arms as b child,
as her own blood crimsons her upturned
forehead, praying for her life to
protect the helpless. Transplant her
into the dark places of the earth,
call forth her energies to action and
her breath becomes a healing, her
presence a blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the strides
of a stalking pestilence, when
man, the strong and brave, pale and
affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune
hurts her not; she wears away
her life in silent endurance and goes
forth with less timidity than to the
bridal altar. In prosperity, she is a
bud full of odors waiting for the
winds of adversity to scatter them
abroad?gold, valuable, but untried
in the furnace.
In an interview in Richmond Bryan
said that he would be a candidate
for the presidency if the party demands
it.
