SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The Eye of the Needle. When Chri s in his sermon “that It is easler for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven” he does not wean a needle, but a hole through which a camel had to pass through in getting Into a fortress, It was the custom in old times, and In parts of Arabla still Is, for the people of a village to build a fortress against the robbers of the desert, into which they carried an un- derground passage in a zigzag form barely large ough for a camel lying down on its side to work itself through Into the courtyard of the fort, and the Baviour beautitully compares the strug- gles of the animal to what the rich man must suffer in order to gain paradise. The hole was called “the eye of the needle.” In the old stone cahirs, or ialled clties, in Ireland specimens of these eyeholes may be seen. Most of them have been partially destroyed, there Is one almost perfect at Grianan Eilleach, in Donegal, and so like the eastern eyeholes that one would think they were made by the same workmen, The Irish annals relate that Eileach was erected by a Tuach de Daanan chief 1,300 years before Christ.—Ex- change. The Magic Flat. “This s our library,” sald the New York woman, leading her visitor into the front room. “And that cozy little room back of it is the music room. The ‘den’ is the big, bright room on your left. Come over and see it. Yes, ‘we have just five rooms in all. The small back hallroom we use as a pack- ing and storage closet. Isn't it cozy?" “Y-e-s,” agreed her tor doubtful- 1y, “but where do you sleep and eat, and all that?” “Oh,” said the New Yorker indiffer- ently, “my husband and I sleep In the ‘den’ on the oriental couch, and mother sleeps in the music room on another couch that pulls out at night. We eat on that funuy little table in the libra- ry. You've no idea how big it can be made when the leaves are in. And ‘we dress In the bathroom and keep our clothes in the packing room. So, you see, it's all very convenient.” “What do you do in the kitchen?” in- quired the other laconically. “Oh, we keep the dos night, and in the daytime we some- | times use it—to cook in."—New York Press. An Impresario’s Advice. Some years ago after the regular Italian opera season had ended at the Academy of Musie, New York, that building became a sort of trying on arena for would be prima donnas and tenors. One day during the open and shut interim between the seasons Max Maretzek met the tenor Adams and Mme. Pappenheim, wing | but | in there at. us, Mix; we nave just leased the acad- emy for classic operas—no candy rot for us,” the impresario replied: “I wish you great success. But tell me your proposed repertory.” To this Adams responded, *‘Antig- one,” ‘Orfeo, ‘Iphigenia, ‘Sapho,’ ‘Al ceste,” ete.” Maretzek suavely sald: “That Is mag- nificent. But do me a favor as an old and experienced frlend. Give the “Trovatore” once each week in order to pay salaries.” This advice was not followed, and very soon the academy was again for rent.—New York Tribune. The New and the Old. A Chicago girl sald the other day in an address before a- girls’ club: “I ad- vise all of you to be new women. I urge you to pay no heed to the gibes ! about new women that are continually being uttered by men, It isn’t a fine type of man that gibes at the new wo- man. You know the story of the man in the county jall? ‘What brought you here, my poor fellow? a missionary asked. ‘I married a new woman, sir, the prisoner groaned. ‘Ahal’ sald the missionary. ‘And she was so domi- neering and extravagant that it drove you to desperate courses, eh? ‘No,’ said the prisoner. ‘The old woman turned up.’ "—San Francisco Argonaut. How Dolls Are Made. Many big things are needed to make a small doll. She has her beginning in a great trough, where workmen | knead up into a dingy paste old card- board, even old gloves, old-rags and gum tragacanth, They are great brawny fellows, these men, naked to the waist, wearing leathern aprons. In an adjoining room the paste is pour- ed into molds for the busts, the arms, i the legs of dolls innumerable. There 1s a special machine for stamping out the hands. I should not like to con- fess how long I stood in front of it fascinated by the steady stream of queer little hands that fell ceaselessly from the iron monster. It was aw- ful, uncanny, hypnotizing. Indeed, the | whole sight was grim and monstrous. The low factory rooms were misty with MANY FORGED T0 FLEE BREAK IN LEVEE INUNDATES ' NORTHERN SECTION OF THE CITY OF MEMPHIS. VAIN FALLING IN STEADY DOWNPOUR FEARED A CONSIDERABLE AREA OF THE BUSINESS PORTION WILL BE FLOODED. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 2.—Many peo- ple are moving from their homes in the northern part of this city as a re- sult of a break in the protection levee. The levee gave way early in the day and the district is now under two feet of water. If the river reaches a stage of forty-one feet, which seems probable, a larger area near the busi- ness portion of the city will be flooded. Late in the day a small levee pro- tecting the section between Overton and Concord streets sprang a leak and within a short time Third street, north of Auction street, was inundated. Prob- ably 100 families, largely negroes, have been removed from the flooded section. Word has been received of the drowning of six negroes in the back- water of the Forked Deer river. The waves from a gasoline boat capsized the skiff in which they were riding. Advices from Marion, Ark. state that the levee at Hollybush remains intact, although a break is expected. The water is lapping the top of the structure and a large force of men is engaged in strengthening it. Should 4 crevasse occur the entire St. Francis basin in Arkansas would receive the rush of waters. At Helena, Ark., the main levee re- mains intact. The northern part of that city is flooded from a break in the auxiliary levee. There was a steady downpour of rain in this vicinity during the night. 8everal Houses Swept Away. St. Louis, Feb. 2.—The overflowed Mississippl river, which is filled with great blocks of floating ice, has swept away two residences and the school- house at Dorent, a village twenty-five miles south of here. It is not known whether there was loss of life. FIFTY BODIES STILL IN MINE REMAINS OF TWENTY-FOUR VIC- TIMS OF WEST VIRGINIA DIS- ASTER RECOVERED. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 2.—Twen- ty-four bodies, all mangled beyond recognition, have been removed from the Stuart mine at Oak Hill and it is expected that the officials soon will have the new cage in running shape and that it will be possible to get out at least a good portion of the other fifty bodles which are certain of being in the mine. There is now no hope that any of the men in the mine at the time of the explosion are alive. About thirty bodies are believed to steam and lit by strange, red glowing fires. Always the great steel machines pulsed and changed, and through the mist sweaty glants of men went to and | fro with beaps of little greenish arms | andl legs until you began to think that some new Herod had killed all the lit- tle people in the world.—Everybody's. Napoleon Trusted His Omens. Napoleon always had an unlimited trust in his presentiments. When the i news came to him that one of the Nile i river Dboats, the name of which was | L'Italle, had been wrecked and the crew put to death he gave up all hope of ever completing his conquest of Italy by annexation. Napoleon believ- ed that the stars exercised an occult Influence over human destinies. When | General Rapp, at one time his aid-de- | camp, returned from the siege of Dant- slc he found the emperor gazing with concentrated attentlon at the heavens. “Look there!” shouted the emperor. “It Is my star! The fiery red one, al- most as large as the moon! It is be- fore you now, and, ah, how brilliant! 1 It has never abandoned me for a sin- gle instant, I see it on all great oc- casions. It commands me to go for- ‘ward; it is my sign of good fortune and where it leads I will follow,” be at the bottom of the shaft and all of these are being removed. Officials place the number of dead at between seventy-five and eighty. KILLED BY ESCAPING GAS. Two Adults and Two Children Dead’ at Dayton, O. Dayton, O., Feb. :.—John McCaus- land is at a hospital in a critical con- dition and his wife, brother and two ohildren are dead, asphyxiated by es- caping gas. They were found at their home by a physician who came to at- tend one of the children, who had been ill. Asphyxiation of the family was ac- cidental, the gas escaping from a de- tached rubber tube leading from the stove to the chimney. Twelve of the Créw Dead. London, Feb. 2.—Lifeboats from Hartlepool have rescued twenty-four of the crew of the British steamer Clavering, ashore at the mouth of the Tees, Including Captain Scott. The bodies of nine Lascars, who died of exposure durlng the night, were thrown overboard. Three other mem- bers of the crew perished by the swamping of a boat. The vessel is breaking up.

Mr. and Mrs. Stockson Bonds are in- veterate bridge whist players, and thelr home Is. the meeting place of bridge players of all grades. On one evening in every week they are “at home” to any of their friends Who wish to play, and on other evenings they en- tertain parties of ‘thelr own selection for games which range from a cent a point to a much higher figure. Recent- Iy, long after the house had been closed, a nolse was heard downstalrs, and, regardless of his wife's protests, Stock- son Bonds went below to ascertain the cause. The noise continued and grew louder, but no answer came to the wite’s calls from above. She became alarmed, opened the window, saw a policeman, and he made a rush for the basement door, A few minutes later the husband appeared before his panic stricken wife and told her he had found the servants playing bridge and wran- gling over the propriety of a certain play. “Did you send the whole party away?’ asked the wife. “Why, no. 1 took a hand and decid- ed the question before I realized where I was.”—New York Tribune. He Held On. “In a town back in Vermont one time,” said a doctor, “a big, husky lumberman entered the office of a den- tist I knew- and showed the doctor a bad tooth. The dentist decided that the tooth should be pulled. “‘All right,” said the lumberman. ‘But listen now. If I tell you to stop, you stop pulling or I'll beat you up.’ “The dentist agreed, and the lumber- man got in the chair. The dentist took hold of the tooth and began pulling. Almost immediately the lumberman yelled, ‘Hold on! “The dentist continued to pull. ‘Hold on! yelled the lumberman. The dentist kept pulling, and the tooth came out. Then the lumberman jumped from the chairmad. - “‘Why didn’t you stop when I told you to? he asked fiercely. “‘You didn’t tell me to stop,’ said the dentist. “I did too! twice.” “‘Oh,’ said the dentist innocently, ‘1 thought you meant to keep hold of it.’ “The lumberman believed him and cooled off.”—Denver Post. 1 yelled “Hold on!” Agility of Hares and Rabbits. Interesting figures on the relative agllity of hares ’md rabbits are given in a volume by J. G. Millais. “When running at ecase,” he Says, “the length of the hare’s stride is about four feet, but under conditions of fear its-leaps extend to ten and twelve feet, while some authors claim that it can jump fen ditches twenty to twenty-five feet in width. Perpendicularly a hare can Jump on to a five foot wall, but seems to be nonplused by one about six feet. The stride of the rabbit is about two feet. - When necwssary it can make leaps of six or seven feet horizontally. About three feet Is the highest that a rabbit can attain to even when helped by the asperities of a stone wall.” Mr. Millais tells how rabbits swim—when compelled to: “They swim with the head held as high as possible, while the hocks -of the: hind ‘legs appear above-the element at each stroke. The shoulders and front part of the body are buried beneath ‘thé water, while the rump and tail are high and dry.” Tyranny of Clothes. Place a man in a silk hat ang frock coat and transport him to a farmyard. Agricultural pursuits- may be the one passion of his life, but clad in these garments he feels in such surround- ings miserable, out of place, essential- Iy urban. Clothe him, conversely, in flannels or knickers and place him in a church, and. it is utterly impossible for him to assume a fittingly devo- tional frame of mind. Unlimited au- tocracy itself cannot imposé such tyr- annies on the subject. Civilization is the slave of its clothes, and there is no prospect of freedom. — London Graphic. The Juice of the Grape. The Arabs say that when the first grapevine was planted the demon Iblis sacrificed a peacock on the spot where the plant was set. As soon as it be- gan to sprout forth he sacrificed an ape over it. When the grapes began to appear he slaughtered a lion, and when these .were ripe he offered up a pig; hence it is that he who drinks wine feels at first as proud as a pea- cock and becomes subsequently as tricksome as an ape, as bold as a lion and at length as stupid as a swine, Definitions. Asked to define a suffragist, a Brit- ish schoolboy answered, “A person who creates a disturbance.” One boy described “surf” as “a form of sea- weed which grows In the Pacific ocean.” In an essay on the canine race a pupil declared that “small dogs im- prove by keeping,” and another gave the singular of “twain” as “worsted.” There Yet.

Barker’s Drug Store has no jurisdiction or authority over the subject of woman and child labor and has no authority to suppress any abuses of such labor or ameliorate conditions surrounding the employ- ment of such laborers.” The commit- tee holds that the regulation of wo- man and child labor is within the po- lice power of the various states. This report was made in compli- ance with the resolution from the house committee on appropriations asking for an_opinion on the subject before the appropriations committee inciuded an item in an appropriation | g bill to cover the-expense of the inves- tigation of woman and child labor in the United States. In concluding its report the house committee on judie- fary says: “The national government is too weak to undertake the exercise of the | police power of the states. In a short [S1 time this great nation would be worse than a ship in midocean in a great storm, withowt a rudder or compass. The division of power was wise and beneficial. Time, study and experi- ence approve it and we should not at- tempt in an unconstitutional way the destruction of the sub-structure of our | W government. If, then, these two great powers of police and commerce are separate and independent, the power of the state sovereign, where is the authority for saying that congress can invade and impair that power, entire and independent In the state. The right and power of both the state and nation must be respected and upheld.” FORMER SERGEANT TESTIFIES. Discharged Soldier Tells of Browns- ville Affray.
