If the German people are really going to elect their officials, the first one they'll need Is a coroner. — o Presidel Wilson has smashed ano ther precedent. He went on a pleas ure trip and took his mother-in-law. It is said that Paris is “full to over flowing,” which may help explain tbe transfer of George Creel’s bill posting crew to the French capital from arid Washington. Free Trade Folly. The Democratic party believes in taxing American industry to the limit. It believes in penalizing pro ductive enterprise to the point of confiscation. As President Harrison Bald, it hates the sight of an Ameri can smoke stack. But it believes, on the other hand, that the foreign pro ducer is a benefactor, who can be depended upon to phllanthropically give the American consumer the best of it even after he has mastered the American market through tbe des truction of domestic competition. It sees no necessity of a foreigner in vesting money in an American in dustry, because he will keep his money at home and hire his work done by a peasant in rags, a peon in ’ a coffee sack os a coolie in a breech clout. The democratic party will throw the doors of customs houses open and invite him to walk right in and help himself, even if thereby, as in 1894 and 1914, three millions of American wage earners are made jobless.

JVI g HAIR & GO In 1872 United States consul to Bahia (Brazil), W. F. Judson, was told by the natives that 60 miles inland, up the Amazon, were native orange trees bearing fruit without seeds. Accord ingly he sent natives after tree shoots and some of the fruit The shoots were packed in moss and day and sent to Washington. They were set out by the agricultural department, but attracted little atten tion until tht next year, when Horatio Tibbetts of Riverside, Cal, took the surviving four shoots to his home and planted them. One died and another was eaten up by a cow. At the end of five years the two surviving trees bore 18 handsome seedless oranges. Next year the oranges were even better, and the trees bore about a box of ths fruit From that time on the cultivation of the seedless oranges about Riverside progressed rapidly. As there were no needs to raise the trees from it was found necessary to graft buds of the seedless trees into seedling trees. Riverside has grown from a small village to a town of 10,000 acme de voted to the cultivation of navel ’ or anges. It Is the greatest orange pro ducing locality In the world. The two original trees were fenced about and carefully guarded leet barm should come to them, and they are now en joying a green old age. PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS Inhabitants of the Island of 8t Kllda Are Especially Favored In Re spect of Light. The price of coal oil Is a matter of no interest to the inhabitants of the island of St. Kllda, a favorite haunt of that animated oil can, the fulmar, observes the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. So rich In oil Is this sea bird that the natives simply pass a wick through its body and use It as a lamp. The oil Is also one of the principal articles exported from the Island. It Is found in the birds' stomachs, Is amber colored and has a peculiarly nauseous odor. The old birds are said to feed the young with it, and when they are caught or attacked they light en themselves by disgorging it. In St Kllda It Is legal to kill the ful mars only during one week In the year ; but during that week from 18,000 to 20,000 birds are destroyed. The mutton bird of the Antarctic also carries its oil in the stomach and can eject this oil through the nostrils as a means of defense against ene mies. Quantities of mutton birds are slaughtered every year for their oil on the coasts of Tasmania and New Zea land. In Its composition and proper ties this oil closely resembles sperm oil. Made First Cash Register, A man named Jacob Rltty, a mer- chant of Dayton, O., took a vacation trip to Europe. While crossing on the steamer, he sauntered one day into the engine room and noticed a device that mechanically recorded the number of revolutions of the propeller shaft. Im mediately came the idea to the mind of Mr. Rltty: "Why not Invent a ma chine that would re<?ord each cotn put Into the cash drawer Y’ When he re turned home he Invented the first "cash register.” John H. Patterson was keeping a grocery store In a small town 80 miles from Dayton. He heard of the Rltty contrivance, sent an or der for one, and that was the Inventor’s first order. The machine was crude, but It Interested Mr. Pat terson and he saw how It could be per fected. "If it’s good for my store,” be argued, “why not for all storesT’ Forthwith he went to Dayton, bought the Rltty Interest out, and started the National Cash Register Co., which has now 1,800,000 machines and every year turns out more than 60,000 cash registers. Primitive Station. There is in England a railway sta tion which has only one train each way a week—at Blackwell Mill, si tu ated mid way between Miller's Dais and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists of eight workmen’a cottages on the banks of the Wye. They are occupied by railway workmen, and it Is for the convenience of the wives who wish to journey to Buxton for marketing that on Friday mornings the 9:10 train ffom Miller’s Dale stops at Blackwell Mill. The two uncovered platforms of the “station” are of the length of a railway coach, and composed of rough stone nt^| gravel. The “walt'ng room” is a plotelayer’s hut, where the trav elers are glad to shelter from the keen wind on winter mornings. The train carries the stationmaster, who distrib utes the privilege tickets. Loops the Loop In a 8torm at Sea. Looping the loop in a kite balloon was the hair-raising feat performed some time since by a young balloon ist when the government was testing the use of captive balloons on battle ships doing convoy work, according to a story in Popular Mechanics Maga zine. The balloonist In question had been aloft In his basket several hours despite very rough weather when a 40- mile gale struck the fleet. Instantly the gas bag made a spinning nose dive, swinging the basket and occu pant through a complete circle. No sooner was one loop completed than another and another followed—fifteen in all. The process of preparing sardines la very simple but requires experience and great care. Upon the arrival of the sardines at the factory they are immediately placed on large wooden tables about forty feet long, where they are cleaned. This process takes only a second, and a fairly efficient worker can clean from 800 to 400 pounds of fish per day. according to a writer In Fishing Gazette. The fish are then placed In rata of brine, where they are allowed to re main from one-half to two hours, ac cording to else. They are then placed in wire trays equipped with prongs in upright position, where they are al lowed to dry for about an hour before they are ready for cooking. This la done by placing the trays in large steam ovens, where the fish are subjected to a pressure of about two pounds of steam, twenty minutes being consumed in properly cooking the small flah and as much as thirty-five minutes in cook ing the larger slses. This cooking has to be carefully watched; If the sardines are subjected to too much steam they become some what brittle and break when being packed. Some sardines are cooked In oil; however, an extra charge Is made for this process, and comparatively few are sold. After the sardines have been prop erly steamed the trays are placed on long counters for sorting, which la done by carefully selected and well- paid girls. After sorting, the tins are filled with oil and placed on shelves, where they are allowed to remain for about twelve hours In order to Insure the proper Impregnation of the oil. Pure olive oil Is used In preparing most sardines, especially the best grades, but for some markets a mix- ture of olive oil and high-grade pea- nut oil is desired. CIVILIZATIONS OF THE PAST Nations With High Degree of Cultiva tion That Are Now Only Memory In History's Pages. Thousands of years ago—long before the great western nations of today, long before even Greek and Roman were heard of—there were more or less advanced civilizations on both sides of the Pacific. China, for exam ple, had grown into a stable Mongol ian kingdom perhaps 4,000 years be fore the beginning of our era. A Chinese author writes: "There Is no existing nation la the world that has a larger past than China. She has seen the rise and fall of the ancient Egyptian dynasties; the extension of the Persian empire; the conquests of Alexander; the irresistible advance of the Roman legions; the deluge of the Teutonic hordes from the north, and the birth of all the nations of modern Europe.” The Japanese also, a people com pounded of various elements, but chiefly Mongolian and Malayan, stood stood at the beginning of our era on a high plane of civilization, and even then exhibited the tendencies and the adaptiveness which distinguish them today. Then away to the east In Central and South America, civilizations waxed and waned, reaching their high est development In the Aztec and In can empires, the latter of which was an extremely Interesting example of despotic socialism. Rupert Brooke In Fiji. Fiji In moonlight Is like nothing else in thia world. . . . It’s all dim colors and all scents. And here, where it’s high up, the most fantastically shaped mountaina in the world tower up all round, and little silver clouds and wisps of mist run bleating up and down the valleys and hillsides like latntyi looking for their mother. There’s only one thing on earth as beautiful; and that’s Samoa by moon light. That’a utterly different, merely heaven, sheer loveliness. You He on a mat in a cool Samoan hut, and look out on the white sand under the high palms, and a gentle sea, and the black line of the reef a mile out, and moon- Ught over everything, floods and floods of it, not sticky, like Honolulu moon light, not to be eaten with a spoon, but flat and abundant, such that you could slice thin golden-white shavings off It, as off cheese. . . .—From "Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke: With a Memoir." Marriage. Marriage Is the nursery of heaven. The virgin sends prayers to God, but she carries but one soul to him; but the state of marriage fills up the num bar of the elect and hath in It the In- bor of love and the delicacies of friend ship, the blessing of society and the union of hands and hearts. It hath In it less of beauty, but more of safety than the single life; It hath more ease, but less danger; It is more merry and more sad; is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys; it lies under more bur- dens, but is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.—Jeremy Taylor.
