Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gev't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE They Call Her the Storm Spirit, ' "There is a storm spirit in Ken tucky," said R. C. Babbington of that 6tate. "It is not a spirit in reality, but a woman who is .known through out that Bection by the name of 'the storm spirit.' She stands when a storm is portended upon a promi nence overlooking the Kentucky riv er in Morgan county, and her ap pearance is regarded as an infallible sign that rough weather may be ex pected. I saw her once and will nev er forget how she looked as she stood upon a rocky ledge, her face turned toward the sky as if beseeching some unseen power, her long hair floating in the breeze, her face pale and ema ciated, but her expression firm and resolute.. ,r ' ' "My guide, who was conducting me through the mountains, said sen tentiously : '1 reckon we'll hev a storm. Thar air the speret.' From several sources I learned her history. Once the belle of the mountain side, she had plighted her troth to the young man of her choice. He left for Frankfort on a raft and was never heard from afterward. For many weary1 months she awaited his return, and then they told her the truth that he had been drowned in the treacherous river. Then reason de serted her, and ever since, when a storm is portended, she goes upon the rocks and appears to plead with the elements to stay their fury that her lover may return." St Louis Globe Democrat. Small Opportunities. Opportunity was well pictured as a man running, his hair as well as his garment streaming in the wind.

Suspiciously Bostonese, ' "I desire to insert this small adver tisement in your paper tomorrow morning," she said. "This," said the advertising clerk, looking it over, "will go among the 'wants.'" "Have you no 'wish' column?" , "No, mum." - - 'Then, sir," said the young lady haughtily, "you need not insert it. I Biuiply wish a situation as governess that is all.

D"il mw An Arm j Made of Many Races. ;- ( Writing about the "natives" of sev eral kinds that form part of the French army in Madagascar, the correspondent of The Pall Mall Gazette says that the Sakalava battalion, raised among the natives of the coast, with the addition of Comoros, has behaved splendidly. Theso men showed the greatest pluck in action and have proved thoroughly re liable. On the other hand, the Bourbon volunteers cut a very poor figure. They are undersized men, nearly all half oastes, and not in the least soldierlike. The monnted batteries are drawn by mules, splendid animals, most of them, and one is astonished to find that they are i easily handled and go so well to gether. The mountain batteries cut also a very good figure. ' ' . Nearly 6,000 coolies accompany the expedition. These consist of Somali, Eahyles, from Algeria, Senegali, and a few from Dahomey. The former have been found the most useful on account of their intelligence. ; The Kabyles are chiefly old soldiers, but, although good fighting men, are lazy, obstinate and most stupid as coolies or mule drivers. The Senegali are splendid men. with grand physique. The- Houssa from Da homey arrived in a miserable state. An epidemio broke out on the voyage, and on their arrival they had to be sent away on quarantine. , The mules arrived in good condition. . They come from France, Algeria and Abyssinia. They have kept their condition remarkably well, although much overcrowded on some transports, but they are fod on im ported food, the grass even coming from France. Some 4,000 mules are now at work. The horses stand the climate welL ' . ' Early Steam Engines. . First a large drawing board was pre pared, large enough to make a plan and side elevation, foil size. Engines all being made very long stroke, the draw ing boards were quite , large, an engine of 14 inches diameter, 43 inches stroke, taking a board about 6 by 20 feet. The engine was plotted down, lines chalked and leaded. Patterns were then made to correspond to the drawings, castings were made and fitted, but connecting rod, piston rod, valvo rods, etc., were left till the cylinder guides and pillow block were fitted on- the bed plate. Measurements were then taken for the different rods and the rods made the proper length to fit. No two engines were exactly alike. Variations in shrink age and fitting were adjusted in the length of the rods. : ' ' Generally after the first engine was made the drawings were planed out, so that the drawing board could be used for another size. This destroyed the rec ord of sizes, but as all rods were meas ured for each particular engine this did not interrupt the work of construction. I need not refer to the present methods in this line, as you are all familiar with them. Today almost every part of an engine or other machine could be made in different shops, widely separated, and then assembled into a complete machine without a hitch. This would have been impossible under the old plan. Taking all the disadvantages into consideration, the wonder is that the mechanics of 50 years ago could turn out as good ma chines as they did. Robert Allison in Cassier's Magazine. Mme. Rejane Considers Us Queer. . According to the Paris correspondent of the London Truth, Rejane cannot make the Americans out. They show, she says, no feeling as spectators. "One sees lines of eyes fixed on one, but one has no idea of what passes in the brains behind them. If the actress has pleased, heaps of flowers are left next day at her hotel by ladies. The American man is too devoted to business 'to run around complimenting . actresses, like the Frenoh. ' Ladies'- admiration only counts when the actress ; is a person of honorable lifa If the ladies stood aloof, the star would cease to attract. - The ladies get up subscriptions to present souvenirs. They give theatrical mat inees and soirees, theatrical readings, receptions and talk lectures, only at tended by themselves. ,- The American man is specialized in business, and the lady is the arbitress of taste, the soul of refinement, the mainspring of all sorts of movements. " Mme. Rejane fancied herself in an Eleusiuian country in the west. Men found time to go in the even ing to the play, bus were too' tired to find ploasure in what cost each moment a mental effort to understand. . A Carious Accident at Salerno. A ourious accident happened the oth er day at Salerno. . In the prison of that town is kept the old Bourbon guillo tine, whose last victim was Luigi de Mattia, one of the heads of the revolu tion of 1848, who was decapitated in 1852., The same machine was made ready for Nicotera and his companions, and, expecting his sentence, .Nicotera gave the executioner 5 francs to dispatch him quickly. Fortunately these sen-1 tences were not carried out ' ; : The other day, then, a gentleman, whose name was not found out, went to the prison and insisted on seeing the old guillotine, no doubt regarding it as a historic curiosity. - His wish was sat isfied by the director, after which the stranger went away. But a jailer named Coute, who had accompanied him, wanted to see how the machine worked and unfortunately put his hand under the knife just as it descended. His fin gers were all cut off, and he was seized with lockjaw. At the hospital to which he was taken the doctors are doubtful of saving his life. London New. DR. ZAHM ON EVOLUTION. His Liberal Views nave Created a Sensa tion In the Roman Cathollo Church. Rev. Dr. J. A. Zahm, professor of physical science at Notre Dame univer sity, Indiana, lias long been noted for his extreme liberalism on tho relations of sci ence to the teach ings of the Ro man Catholio church, but his recent lectures on evolution at the Catholio summer school in Platts burg created a decided sensation by reason by the novel and un- kev. de. zahm. orthodox -opinions advanced. Conservatives are breathing hints of heresy, and rumors of a possible church trial are freely cir culated; The doctor and his friends, however, profess to fear no Huch result The following portion of the dootor's lecture is one to which exception has been taken: - , "The evolution of the body of man from some inferior animal and the sub sequent endowment in this body by God of a rational soul is antagonistic to no dogma of faith and may be, shown to be in harmony with the teachings of St. Thomas. The theory may encounter certain grave difficulties in the domains of metaphysics and Biblical exegesis, but I do not think that such difficulties are insuperable. ' At all events, whatever one may be disposed to think of the theory, it is well always to bear in mind that it has never been condemned by the church,' although it has been publicly discussed and defended for full five and twenty years. " . , . , Father Zahm 's degree of doctor was. lately conferred upon him by the pope, proprio motu, and it is an interesting fact that the only other scientist upon whom this honor has been conferred from the Vatican is St. George Mivart, whose excursion into forbidden fields of belief and its sequel of reprimand and recantation are well remembered. It is asked by not a few whother such a fate is not in store for Dr. Zahm. ; Dr. Zahm was born of German and Irish parentage at New Lexington, O. , in 1841. ; In 1871 he was graduated at the Notre Dame university and soon afterward entered the Congregation of the Holy Cross, which was founded at Notre Dame 50 years ago by tho cele brated Father Soriu., For a quarter of a century Dr. Zahm has been professor of physics in the faculty of his alma mater. During that time he has traveled wide ly and has contributed largely to scien tific and religious periodicals. He was the first American to be elected a mem ber of the Societe Francaise -de Phy sique. . ' ' '.. - ..... ' ; SOLDIER STATESMEN. Democratic Candidates For Governor In J : Mississippi and Iowa. ; Two lawyers and ex-soldiers are the Democratic standard bearers in Missis sippi and Iowa this year. Mr. Anselum J. McLaurin, the candidate for govern or in Mississippi, was born in Rsnkin county, that state, in the spring of 1848. He is of Scotch lineage.' In 1864 he went to the Sommerville institute, a private training school for boys, but re mained there only a few months, when he enlisted in the Confederate army. At the close of the war he resumed his studies at the Sommerville school, grad uating in 1867 at the age of 19. He re turned to his humble log cabin home, his father being a farmer then living in Smith county, and assisted in repairing the loses entailed by the war. For a year he worked by day on the farm and read law at night by a pine knot fire. In the following spring he went to the county seat at Raleigh, where court was in session; took the required examina tion and was admitted to the bar. In 1871 he was elected state attorney for the Fifth judioial district, serving the full term of four years. Seeking a broad- I. BABB. er field, he moved to Brandon, where he formed a law partnership with General Robert Lowry. He has gained distinc tion as a criminal lawyer, having been engaged in nearly a hundred murder cases. He was elected to the state legis lature in 1879, and in 1888 was chosen elector at large on the Democratic tick et. He was a prominent figure in the state constitutional convention in 1892. In 1894 he was' elected United States senator to fill Senator Walthall's unex pired term. .-." . Judge W. L Babb, the Iowa guberna torial candidate, was born in Des Moines county Oct. 2, 1844. In 1860 he went to Moant Pleasant, which has since been his home. He served two years in the Union army as a private in the Eighth Iowa cavalry during the war of the rebellion. ' He was educated at the Iowa Wesleyan university, receiving his degree in the classical course in 1866. He immediately began the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1867, establishing himself in Mount Pleasant, where he has since practiced his pro fession. . In 1883 he was elected to th6 legislature from Henry county and has since served two terms as circuit judge. Judge Babb is a member of the board of trusees of the Wesleyan university, his alma mater, and is well known in Iowa through his labors in behalf of that in stitution and in connection with the Methodist church. . He was a Republican until ,1868, since which time he has been a Pemocrat, - ; A. J. M'LAURIN. '.W. , Japan's Multitude of Gods. ' Shintoism is the old, vague, Japa nese religion a pretty, childish folk lore, which was long overshadowed by Buddhism. At the time of the revolution of 1868 it came to its own again and is now widespread through out the empire. "Shinto" means '.'the way of the gods," and those gods are innumerable. The worshiper chooses those who suit his purpose from among them and leaves the others, as far as he is concerned, almost neg lected. Its sects do not worship an identical god in different ways, but rather adore different gods in an identical fashion. Some practice pos session that is, they call down the divinity by throwing ond another into trances, in which the god is sup posed to visit the body of the person possessed. Others have the custody of the great shrine, yearly visited by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. Perdval Lowell. .

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it : incurable Science has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
