"F o r ceutuiies past landed estate*
j hare been handed down from genera
tion to generation,” said the duke,
addressing his tenants on the occasion
I of the coming of age of his son Lord
; Francis Cavendish.
“Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
' trust and affection. I fear, however,
; that the state of things Is passing
' away, for with the present weight of
. taxation and the extremely onerous
! death duties, the future may become
very uncertain for all landed pro
prietors.
If this la good for the
country, I certainly do not complain
“ With regard to my own case, tt may
net be possible for me and my family
to continue to reside at Welbeek, but
I tear that there can be little doubt
that those who corns after me will not
be able to do eo.”

STIRRED HER TO INDIGNATION

She wax apparently a lady of re

She had all the hall-mark*

With her,
says the New York Mall, was a beau
tiful little boy— not exactly a Little

with big eye* and a wealth of tous-
eled hair.
I noticed them, the lady fo r her dig

HAVE APPRECIATION OF LIGHT
Cltlxens ef Colorado Town Realize
W hat It Means to Securo tho
Noedod Power
You who live In cities where the
electricity Is a thing to be taken for
granted, requiring only the pressing
ot a button, would appreciate It more
if you could see what has to be done
In Green Mountain Falls, Colo., before
we have any light.
In the first place, we don't have any
electric light at all until 6 or 0 :30
o’clock In the evening. And the only
reason that we have that, Is because
the men who manage the power plant,
which Is situated almost at the very
top o f a mountain, start their long uud
far-frum-easy climb every night about
5:80 and turn on the lights for us.
It may sound very simple and all
that, hut If you could see the speck
that Is the power house, way, way up
tbsre against the -hie o f an exceeding
ly steep and rocky mountain, you
would change your mind about It.
They say the clliiih is about u mile.
Agd sometimes lp the midst o f a se
vere thunder storm, when the rain Is
hurling Itself down the mountain, aud
the fall* are roaring In stentorian
tones, aud the tree* are straining and
moaning In the wind, you wouder that
the men ever reach the top at all. aud
are more than thankful when the
light* finally go on.
For that 1* our
ouly way o f kuowlng that the men
have reached there safely.— Kansas

Woather Affect* Watch Spring*.
Did you ever have the mainspring
o f a watch break? I f you did. the
chances are that this occurred In thun
derstorm weather^ writes
A. Briggs
In Popular Mechanics Magazine.
It
has been the experience o f many Jew
elera that In thunderstorm seasons the
number of broken watch mainsprings
Increases greatly. This has been erro
neously ascribed, though somewhat
vaguely, to the effect of electricity,
magnetism, and o f the noise from the
thunder, but an analysis of the ex
planations attempted fail* to develop
any reasonable relation In accord with
these Ideas.
This matter has recently been made
the subject o f scientific study. It was
finally found to arise from the fact
that at this time o f the year the ulr
was both warm and midst, aud that
both of these conditions facilitated
rusting.
A small spot of rust often
starts on the spring or In a crack, and
the spring soon weakens and lets go.

Bullet
Fired In Battle of Vlckeburg
Fifty-Eight Year* Ago.
Kelso, Wash.— P. J. Knapp, a Civil
war veteran, after 58 years has traced
the course o f a bullet he fired at the
siege o f Vicksburg.
Some time ago Mr. Knapp read a
news dispatch saying that W. B.
Meadows, a Confederate veteran of
Lanott, Ala., had coughed up a bul
let which was shot Into hlR eye at
Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the account
said, was a member o f the Thirty-
seventh Alabama regiment, and Mr.
Knapp recalled an Incident at the
siege, when he and three other mem
bers o f the Fifth Iowa volunteers si
lenced a Confederate Rharpslmoter
who was firing through a small hole
In a sheet o f holler plate.
When Mr. Knapp wrote to Mr.
Meadows, the latter said that he was
the man behind the holler plate, and
that tjie bullet entered his right eye.

Berlin.— An Invention by which de
tailed, enlarged moving pictures <*t
Intricate surgical operations are taken
without Interfering with the operating
physicians and without the presence
of a camera operator has been per
fected by Dr. A. Rothe of Berlin, and
now It being used In a number of
Oerman medical universities, for the
benefit of students. It la claimed that
the students obtain better Instruction
from a study of the movie picture of
the operattou than from witnessing
the operation Itself.
The “operation camera" la designed
to hang directly above the operating
physician's
handa.
The
cinemato
graphies 1 lamps are In a room above,
separated from the operating room by
a glass roof.
After the machine has been placed
In position an operating physician or
a nurse can start It by pressing an
electrical fttot device, which la all the
attention necessary on the part e f the
doctor or the attendants.
