The unborn president of the United States, the town authorities and the editors of the New York Times of 2015 have been invited to attend on the second Saturday in September of that year the opening of the Louis H. Eisenlobr box at Ashburnham, Mass., which was placed in the vault of the town treasurer in 1915 with instruc- tions that it be not opened for 100 years. The invitation reads: “The MCMXV executive town offi- clals, trustees of Cushing academy and directors of the Watatic club of Ash- burnham, in Massachusetts, request the presence of the editors of the New York Times in 2015 to meet the presi- dent of the United States and his ex- cellency the governor, his staff and the executive council of Massachusetts at the celebration of the opening of the Louis H. Eisenlohr box the second Sat- urday in September, 2015. R.S.V.P.” The invitation is engraved and, bear- ing the seal of the town of Ashburn- ham, is framed under glass so that it may be hung on a wall where it will stand a chance of preservation for nearly 100 years. N Messages from prominent men and records of 1915, including a copy of the Times and other matter of probable interest to those alive in 2015 are in the box, which is made of copper. It was presented to the town by Louis H. Eisenlohr of Philadelphia and is to be opened under the supervision of Cushing academy. Another box not to be opened for 100 years was placed un- der an elm tree which Mr. Eisenlohr plantéed on the academy campus. High Pews.

By consent of the queen high pews were introduced to prevent wan- dering eyes. “As for the young ladies for whose spiritual welfare they were devised,” says a writer, “their indig- nation was only surpassed by the rage of their admirers.” From that time high pews were commonly placed in churches.—London Opinion. 00000C0DO0O0OOOUEOO0QO0 (-] © 1,149 MERCHANT SHIPS WERE SUNK IN 1916 Loss to the world’s merchant shipping in 1916 through war causes exceeded the total ton- nage constructed, according to estimates prepared by the fed- eral bureau of navigation. Ves- sels sunk are put at 1,149, of 2,028,683 tonnage, and those built at 2,505. of 1,899,943 tons. The figures were gathered from many unofficial sources, but are declared to be approximately cor- rect. Great Britain led in shipbuild- ing, with 510 vessels of 619,000 tons. The Cnited States was second, with 1,213 vessels of 560,000 tons. Ships built by all other countries are given as 782 in number of 720,368 tons. Ja- pan’s construction of 246,000 tons was about three times the 1915 output. German construction of 26,000 tons is admittedly too low an estimate. Some other figures are: Holland, 208,180; Italy, 60,- 472; Norway, 44,903; Sweden, 40,- 090; France, 39,457; Denmark, 37,150; Spain, 10,000; China, 7,800.

Supreme Court Now to Decide Civil War Cotton Picking Claims. The United States supreme court has been asked to decide whether the fed- eral government shall pay $68,000,000 to former slaves and their heirs for cot- ton picked in slavery times. Their claims are presented in an appeal by H. N. Johnson of Muskogee, Okla., and other former slaves and their heirs and “gl] others similarly situated.” The suit is directed against Secre- tary McAdoo as custodian of the gov- ernment funds and recites that the slaves were held in involuntary servi- tude and forced to gather the southern states’ crops. They received no return for their labor, while the government collected the $68,000,000 in taxes on raw cotton. Accounting for the labor performed and a pro rata distribution of the money among those entitled to pay for the labor are asked. The Dis- trict of Columbia courts dismissed the suit.

A RAW, SORE THROAT Eases Quickly When You Apply a Little Musterole And Musterole won't blister like the old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just spread it on with your fingers. It pene- trates to the sore spot with a gentle tingle, loosens the congestion and draws out the soreness and pain. Musterole is a clean, white ointment made with oil of mustard. It is fine for quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neu- ralgia, !madache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the_back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on the chest (it often prevents pneumonia).

Consequently there are no large land- owners, and, there being no aristoc- racy, the people are as near being on an equality as possible. Poor people are quite as rare as rich people, and the only beggars to be met with are the lepers, who sit on the steps of the pagodas.
