Condidate Before the Republican Primaries for Eighth District Congression Nomiuation. The above is an excellent photograph of Mr. E. L, Mil- lar of Dututh, who is a candi- date before the Republican primaries for the Congression- alnomination. Mr, Millar has been in the field only ten days but his candidacy has been re- ceived with great public favor. He is the kind of a man of whom good congressmen are He has for many years taken an active part in public affairs in Duluth, and he is an eloquent orator. He is particu- jatly interested and will be made. an ardent advocate of all wise plans to develop Northern Minnesota, He favors the re- nomination of President Roose- velt to succeed himself. Mr. Millar is fully in sympathy with progressive legislation along all lines, and fully be- lieves that no backward step should be taken in any of the reforms that has attracted pub- lic attention for the last four years. Citizens who vote for Mr. Millar will make no mise take, and will never have cause to regret their choice. TO DETECT LEAK IN GAS PIPE, Lather of Soap Much Better Than Using a Match, : The folly of hunting for a leak in a gas pipe with a lighted match is not so much because of the danger of an explosion as of other damage, as is shown by the experience of a West Philadelphia householder last week. One or two small leaks were detected by going over all the pipes and hold- ing a lighted match to them. The smell of gas ceased, but was replaced a few hours later by the smell of burning wood. Another visit to the cellar showed a charred floor joist a little distance above a gas pipe. These was no apparent cause for this until a very close examination discovered that a tiny jet of gas was issuing from the pipe beneath the beam. It was lighted, but was so small as to be blue in color and nearly invisible. It had been lighted by the match used in the first investigation, but had not been noticed. | “If that leak had happened to be in a lead joint instead of an iron con- nection,” said a gas man, “there would probably have been work for the fire department. The smallest vossible jet of lighted gas issuing through lead will in time heat and melt the lead and make the leak larg- er, until a big flame is issuing. This may make a fire hours later, in the dead of night or at a time when no one is in the house. The only prop- er way to look for these very small leaks is to paint the suspected pipe with a smooth soap lather, Just as in the case of a bicycle tire, the tini- est leak will blow a bubble in the lather, and there you are.”—Philadel- phia Record, LAST BOURBON AT VERSAILLES. Orange Tree Has Survived Rule of French Dynasty. There is at Versailles an orange tree close upon 500 years old. This tree, which was taken from Fontaine- bleau to Versailles on the completion of the Orangery, was already fa- mous under the title of the Grand Bourbon. According to tradition, the tree had been planted in 1421 by a Princess of Navarre, and, after sev- eral changes of owners, came into the possession of Francois I, by whom it was placed at Fontainebleau. When it reached Versailles the King came to visit it, and two Grand Bour- bons were then face to face. The man passed, and even his bones, torn from their tomb at St. Denis and tossed in- to a trench, have perished; not a pinch of his dust remains. But the tree lives and blooms and bears fruit the only Bourbon at Versailles—se- rene, invincible, Farmer's Versailles. enthroned.—From Retain Much of Danish Speech. John Ackworth, an English dialect novelist who has made a special study of the dialects of Lancashire, York- sbire. the east coasts and alen of the Wahes, suows tuat-the Danes by meir early landings and sojournings in England have influenced the language of the east coasts of Britain. to an ex- traordinary degfée) Fe. Danes and the British, in spite of ap- parent differences, are one practically in speech and language as well as in the relationship of blood. “So strong is the English of the éast coasts of England impregnated with Danish,” John Ackworth once said, “that I am sure that if a fisherman from the east coasts of England were to be wrecked on the shores of Denmark, and he would only speak in his true native dialect, that fisherman would be able to make himself understood.” “None is” or “None Are.”? All the friends of liberty of speech owe gratitude to Prof. Lounsbury of Yale for his defense in Harper’s Magazine of the use of “none” as the subject of a plural verb. What idiot precisionist it was that. started the movement to schoolmaster that use of “none” out of existence we do not know, but his effort has had a deplor- able degree of success. An awful ex- ample ought to be made of some of the grammarians who try to make language conform to rules instead of making rules conform to language. It will take years to untwist the tongues of worthy people who have compelled themselves to say “none -is” when their consential impulse was to say “none are.”—Harper’s Weekly. Journal Has Practical Name. In. Anniston, a town in Alabama, there are large iron works, pipe fac- tories and charcoal and coke furnaces, Naturally, there is a good bit of heat there and blasts from the furnaces greet the inhabitants in the morning and waft them to sleep at night. Two papers are published in the town, one of them a morning and the other an evening issue. The aforesaid heat and blasts were probably accountable for the name of the morning paper, which is known as “The Hot Blast,” an ap- propriate designation’ under the cir- cumstances, although it is true that the policy of the publishers may have had something to do with its chris- tening. “Old Bill” Thurston’s Tip. Old Bill Thurston, as he is general- ly alluded to, of: Melvin Village, N. H., spends every evening at the general store and postoffice, where the news of the day is discussed. A recent rear- end collision was the topic one even- ing, and a number of village orators had waxed warm on the subject. Finally “Bill,” who had taken no part in the discussion, but who was in- tensely interested, spoke up and said: “Why don’t they do away with the bloody rear cars, anyway; then they won't ’ave no haceidents!” First Known Use of Paper. -article of piper. Casir!,. howe: while employéd in translating Arabic Writers, has discovered the real place from which paper came. It has been known in China, where fts ‘constituent part is silk, from time immemorial.’ In the thirtieth year of the Hegira (in the middle of the seventh century) a manufactory of similar paper was established at Samarcand, and in 706, fifty-eight years afterward, one You- zef Amru of Mecca discovered the art of making it with cotton, an article more commonly used in Arabia than silk. Other’ Uses for Teeth. ‘he teeth, says the Medical Fort- nightly, are said to have a higher of- fice than that commonly assigned to them—namely, that of merely crush- ing or masticating the food. They are to be regarded as endowed with a tactile sense, a discriminating fac- ulty corresponding to that possessed by the muscles and nerves of the eye and ear. They have an extreme delicacy of discernment, both as to whether the objects comminuted be suitable as food or such as will irritate the deli- cate lining of the digestive passages. They speedily detect the smallest particle of cinder that has found its way into a freshly-baked biscuit. Sized Up by “Tom” Pool. Throughout the village of Annis- quam, Mass., no greater joker can be found than Thomas S.' Pool, an old- time fisherman and a veteran of the civil war. On being told of the in- tended entrance into the fishing in- justry of a firm composed of two young fellows, neither of whom had much money to start with, “Tom” re- marked: “I’ve heern tell of people standin’ on nothin’ an’ pickin’ holes In the wind, and, b’gosh, I guess them fellers will come putty near doin’ it.” WOULD HAVE INFANTS BRANDED Contemporary Suggests an Individual Mark for All. Owing to the difficulty in identify- ing persons in after life who have been lost or stolen or perhaps disfig- ured in an accident, a new idea is that every infant should be branded by an individual mark which may be regis- tered and kept for future use. It is rather an interesting proposi- tion and leaves much room for orig- Inality and taste on the mother’s part in choosing a design to be tattooed upon her offspring. Initials would scarcely suffice, for they might easily be duplicated, there being more than one John Smith or Elizabeth White in the world. A family trade-mark in the shape, perhaps, of a coat-of: arms might suffice, but the suggestion) if carried into effect, would revive what is now almost a lost art. The idea itself is, however, not a bad one and itimight almost be said to be suf: and that ‘the | ficient’ to turn a would-be criminal from his wrongdoing whenhe thinks of the mark indelibly engraved with the consent of a fond mother, who never. dreamed that this same Httle mark inscribed with loving care might lead to the identification of a rogue in days to come. It is a wide step between the tiny innocent baby and the hardened wretch, but who knows whether, after all, such a mark en a childish arm might not restrain the older man from a wicked act, if not restoring him to a lost identity?— Philadelphia Ledger.
