Miss Millie Milton Is probably the only woman who can tell how it feels to be carried In the arms of a cyclone. When the recent tor n a d o passed over Denlson, Texas, it picked up the girl and carried her a quarter of a mile and gently set her down In an orchard, in the midst of Btorm deb ris. She was with out a scratch. Many persons were injured, and the storm that had carried her to" safety brought destruction to men and women throughout the town. After the tornado had passed Miss Milton was picked up by some neigh bors in an apparently lifeless condi tion. Her body was limp and flaccid, her respiration was labored, her pulse was slow. Medical assistance was im mediately procured, and, although re storatives were applied, they availed nothing. Three days after her experi ence she began to regain her senses. Miss Milton says that her sensations while sailing through the air were pleasurable rather than otherwise. When Miss Milton was first found an examination made by a physician fail ed to show a bruise or scratch on the entire body. She showed all the symp toms, he states, of a nervous shock, and it la ltl!ttd by iuuii.v iliiit lin8 I'oiiui- tlon was superinduced by the electrical . I xl .1 1.1.1- L ll.

There are imitation baking powders, sold cheap, by many grocers. They are made from alum, a poison ous drug, which renders the food injurious to health ROYAL tAKINQ POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. Aa Interview With at Well Knows Ctl Kxpert. A well-known oil expert has the fol lowing to gay about the California oil Industry: The oil production of California is now about 4,500,000 bairels annually. This output is being increased very materially each month by the product of the new wells drilled to oil in the different districts. The qnehtion most frequently a skid me, especially by capitalists and those interested or likely to be interested iu oil investments is: "Is there not a possibility of overproduction of oil iu California?" There are two main belts extendiug through the atate, located on the east ern and western shores of ancient, pre historic seas. One of these produces a black and essentially fuel oil, and thu other a green or gas oil. The black or heavy oil makes an ideal fuel, as has been proven by 20 vcais of experience in Russia and iu this count) y. In using oil as a fuel it is necessary to exercise considerable judgment, and to know what kind of oil as well as what kind of a burner to use. The two oils, the black and the green, lie almost in two parallel belts in California extending on the west side of the San Joaquin valley and run ning north and south' into northern and soul hern California. There is likewise a similar condition on the east side ot the San Joaquin more or less in evi dence as is shown by the ontcroppiugs and geological formation. The east side of the valley, however, has not yet been prospected for oil as has the west side, where developments have already been, and where by far the largest amount of the oil output of California is at present obtained. It is true that many far-seoing capi talists have entered into the oil busi ness and have reaped rich financial re turns already, others have been too conservative and are losing opportuni ties which are fast being taken up by Eastern capitalists, who arejapidly ap preciating the chance California gives for investments.

It is even hinted that theological study is of secondary im portance, the personal factor being the essence in the preacher. But the im perative demand of. .the age in enlight ened personalities embodying the re sults of past achievements and the best thought and scholarship of the present. i We need profound thought and rich , learning sanctified into personality. Hotmletic Reivew. Uncle Satn lines the bet of everything: Uncle Sam uses Carter's Ink. He knows. Japanese Wit. Oriental wit of a kind to be better appreciated than enjoyed in France is credited to the members of a Japanese embassy once sent to Farls to arrange for three free ports to be opened in Japan and France respectively. The French officials after long deliberation announced that they would be content with the opening of Yokohama, Yeddo, and Han-Yang. The Japanese listen ed gravely, and, after they had deliber ated In turn, nald they wanted Havre, Marseilles, and Southampton. There upon the Frenchman Indulged in su perior smiles, and called attention to the fact that Southampton was In En gland. "Yes," replied the Eastern diplomats, maintaining the utmost gravity, "and Han-Yang is in Corea." This story, which Is said to be so old as to be new, has been revived in con nection with the visit of the Japanese Ambassadors to the Paris exposition, and it Is supposed in England to worry the Frenchmen a lot. New York Times. A Great Glacier. The largest glacier In Europe is the Josledaisbroe, in Norway. With its numerous ramifications it covers an area of 350 square miles, just half as big again as the county of Middlesex. This enormous field of ice wends its branches down the valleys in all direc tions, often coming into close proxim ity to the cornfields. One of the most accessible of its branches is the Brigs dalbroe. From a distance its effect is extremely grand, surrounded as it is with dark, bare ' mountains, fringed with birch trees a perfect setting for the mighty mass of snow and ice. Life is made up, not of great sacri fices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart.
