If properly handled silk Is the strongest and most durable of all textile materials, but the various processes of manufacture that remove much of the natural gum cause It to lose so large an amount of Its weight that unscrupulous dyers and manufacturers resort to "loading," dipping the thrown silk Into a solution of bichloride of tin. Rome are not content with restoring the original weight of the raw silk, but "load" It until Its weight Is multiplied three or four. fold. This operation makes the skeins more valuable, but it destroys the durability of the filaments. Stretching the threads to their elastic limit, so that a given weight will weave a greater number of yards, and steaming to give the material an unnatural luster are other processes that prove profitable to manufacturers, but costly to the consumers and that cause many people to regard silk as an uncertain and treacherous fabric, with an Inexplicable tendency to split, crack and fall into holes, even though packed away In drawers or hanging up. The use of cheap, inferior and destructive dyes is another practice equally injurious and perhaps still more common. London Family Iler aid. Driven to It. Guy, the youngest son of Farmer Timmins, had spent two years in col lege, during which time he had accumulated more indebtedness than education. His father paid his bills and left him to shift for himself. The boy had good stock in him, however, and managed by turning over a new leaf, practicing strict economy and doing odd jobs of work as opportunities presented themselves to pay for his tuition, and stayed on. "How's your boy doing at college?" asked the elder Timmins' next neighbor one day. "He's getting along all right now." "I hear he's working his way through." "Yes." grimly, but with a gleam of pride, answered Farmer Timmins "He found he couldn't work me any more." Youth's Compauiou. Water Necessary For Crops. A grass plant will in the course of a hot day exhale its own weight of water, and a young leaf of wheat or rye exposed to the sun may even exhale Its own weight In an hour. Experiments summarized by Storer indicate that "more than 300 pounds of water pass through a plant and are transpired from its leaves for every pound of dry matter fixed er assimilated by the plant" In Wisconsin, King found the mean amount of water used by barley, oats, corn, -clover, peas and potatoes in producing a ton of dry matter ranged from 270 tons for corn to 7j? tons for clover, "the average for the six crops being nearly 450 tons, or four acre inches for each ton of dry matter."

Roosevelt and Perkins.

The Indianapolis News, one of the principal organs for a great bipartisan political organization, which is composed mostly of men who have fed fat off of Republican tariffs, is positive the Progressive parry is a fraud and a sham because a very wealthy man, George W. Perkins, is taking an active interest in the affairs of the new party. Perkins' alliance with the Progressive party, the hypocritical News is positive that Roosevelt's election will place the Steel Trust and the Harvester Trust in control of the government, which, if true, would be a crushing blow to the large collection of trusts which now control it. However, the News and other newspapers of the same breed, are making no headway with their twaddle about Perkins. All weathly men are not utterly selfish. There are any number of them thoroughly interested and engaged in the present crusade for

political, social and economical reforms. Does any man believe Gifford j

Pinchot, a millionaire, would devote hia time and his fortune to the great work of conservation of public resources if he was insincere? It was millionaire Spreckles of San Francisco who financed the work of purifying San Francisco and driving Abe Reuf to the state prison. Medill McCormick, the wealthy Chicago publisher, has tirelessly worked for governmental reforms. And George W. Perkins what of him? Saturday night in Boston a great enthusiastic and inquisitive crowd greeted Theodore Roosevelt. He delivered a short address and then some man in the crowd cried out, "How about Perkins?" I'm delighted to tell you about Mr. Perkins," the colonel replied. "I'll satisfy everybody's thirsts for information. "Mr. Perkins is a rich man," he said. "He came into this movement, not at my request, but of his own initiative. I felt just the same curiosity as that man in the crowd, who asked me about him. I said to him: 'Mr. Perkins, why are you supporting me?' Mr. Perkins flushed and said he did not know but that he ought to be offended, but I told him he should not be, and that I was both surprised and pleased to have his support. "'The prime reason why I am with you,' he told me, 'is because I have children. I have come to the conclusion that this country won't be a good place for my children unless we have substantial justice, unless the relations between capital and labor are on a better basis. I wish to support any movement which will bring tnat about. Sa far as I can see,' Mr. Perkins told me, 'you are the only public man who in good faith is supporting those views.' "I have told you literally what Mr. Perkins said. Curiously enough, it was almost exactly what Mr. Flinn said to me later. I have immensely appreciated the support of Mr. Perkins and Mr. Flinn. Their support has been given in the open. There is nothing invisible in this movement. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Flinn both heartily approve of the Progressive platform adopted at Chicago. "I said to Mr. Perkins: 'You are in the steel industry. Before you support me I wish you to understand that I intend to work for regulation of the big industrial concerns, including the steel industry.' Mr. Perkins said that was all right and that he believed in it. "Mr. Flinn and Perkins have supported this movement without asking a thing and with the assurance given to me personally that they are not seeking a thing. As long as they do that they are entitled to the respect which any good citizen gets. If ever I do anything in the future for Mr. Perkins or Mr. Flinn, that I should not do, then I am to be condemned and they are to be condemned. But unless I do, it shows a small mind to object to their work for this movement."

The Water Works Specifications. Tomorrow night there will be a public meeting of the city council and the board of public works, at which time the water works contract specifications, which have been prepared by the attorneys for the city, will be read and explained. The citizens of Richmond are invited to attend this meeting and suggest any features they think should be included. The specifications have been prepared with care by the attorneys, hut unless they have the .co-operation of the citizens of Richmond the best results cannot be obtained. It you do not understand some of the clauses, ask the attorneys why such clauses have been inserted. Now is the time to make any complaint, because the bids which will be submitted, will be on the specifications that have been prepared by the city. The contract, which will be let within the next few months will obligate the citizens of Richmond and control the water supply for 25 years. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of getting the best possible contract. The foundation for the contract will be read and adopted tomorrow night. 1

Reynolds' Statement. Lee J. Reynolds in his signed statement issued today says that he will run on the Republican platform as candidate for state representative but he believes in Progressive principles. He also says that he will support the national Republican ticket which means that he subscribes to methods used at the Chicago convention ir -.-.-.Mon 0f yii. liam Howard Taft. Mr. Reynolds is not a Progressive. The Republican state and national platforms outline a course of action that is directly contrary to the principles as outlined in the Progressive platform. We are glad that Mr. Reynolds has come out into the open and told the people of Wayne county where he stands. The situation, in regard to the legislative question, has now been clarified. Mr. Reynolds' profession of Progressive principles is not convincing and the Palladium believes it would be a mistake to return him to the legislature. The next representative from Wayne county in the legislature, must be Progressive from the heart out, if we expect to do our share in securing the Progressive legislation outlined in the Progressive platform. It is just as necessary that the people of the state of Indiana elect a Progressive legislature as it is to elect a Progressive Governor, and Wayne county wants to do her share in backing up Albert J. Beveridge as governor. Mr. Reynolds is not a Progressive.

Ihis Is My 34th Birthday MANUEL L. QUEZON. Manuel L. Quezon, who bears the official title of resident commissioner of the Fhilippines at Washington and as such looks after the interests of the Filipinos in matters of legislation before Congress, was born in the Province of Tayabas, in the Philippines. August 19, 1878. After graduating from the College of SanJuan de Leiran in Manila, he studied law and was admitted to the bar. lie took a more or less prominent part in the Filipino insurrection of 1898-1900, serving on the staffs of Generals Aguinaldo and Maseardo. Before taking up his residence in Washington three years ago he has served as provincial governor of Tayabas and as a member of the Philippine assembly. Congratulations to: George E. Roberts, director of the United States Mint, 55 years old today. Frank A. Leach, former director of the United States Mint, 66 years old today. Frederick II, the reigning duke of

! Anhalt, 56 years old today.

Joha B. Jackson, United States Minister to Roumania, Servia and Bulgaria, 50 years old today. The Smallest Pension. Great Britain's pension system Is as liberal as may be considering the vast number of persons carried on both the military and the civil lists, but in one case the record for smallness of payment has undoubtedly been established. Various factors enter into determining the amount to be paid sailors, and these factors so combined against one old salt that it was found that he could draw a pension of not any more than fourpence 8 cents a year. Promptly on each quarter day there comes an official communication transmitting the amount due in the form of postage stamps, and he is granted leave of absence in order that he may convert this into money at the postoffice. Then, after the proverbial manner of sailors, he promptly proceeds to "blow" the entire amount. New York Tribune. The women of Paris outnumber the men by 200,000.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE

YOUR SUNDAY. "Let it go till Sunday and I'll fix if That was the frequent word of an Illinois farmer for whom the writer occasionally worked when a boy. This farmer made Sunday one of his busy days, mending harness, fixing pumps and such odd jobs. He wanted to get rich quick. For a time he prospered greatly, but by and by his continued labors and lack of relaxation of body or mind wore him out. and he died in middle age. Instead of gaining one day in seven he lost all his days. On Sunday morning his neighbors hitched up to their carriages and took their families to the church. There they enjoyed social contiict that was congenial and In the uplift of spiritual things found refreshment, going back to their week day labors with a new zest. My farmer, like Gallio. cared for none of these things. And therefore he became like one of his stolid Norman horses, and. like one of them, he died. What Is Sunday? It is of course a day of rest set apart by civil authority. It is also a day of religious observance prescribed by the church. Besides that, it is the week end vacation established out of the experience of the race for t li beuoflt of the race The race has learned that one day of rest in seven is absolutely essential for the health and sanity of humans. My Illinois farmer wore out his body by incessant labors and lac k, of relaxation, and he wore out his mind by monotony and lack of diversion Do uot forego your SunOny. It is part of your beritago .-is a member of society. It is a holy day in the sense of Christian observance, and it is holy in the sense of the old Saxon word wholesome, healthy. You need your Sunday. Just as the strings of a violin cannot be continually put upon the strain without damage, so your body and brain cannot be forever put upon the Stretch without losing buoyancy and vital force. And your soul It must sometimes rise from the plaDe of lower things on the wings of faith and hope to the hills whence all Us help must come.

THE STATE PRESS

ATTACKS A WOMAN. Tiring of its vain attack on the personality of Theodore Roosevelt, the only apparent effect of which, in Indiana seems to be to recruit the ranks of the Progressives, the Indianapolis News now indicates a disposition to turn its mud batteries on Miss Jane Addams. The crime of Miss Addams has been her acceptance of a place on the Progressive party committee. Miss Mabel Boardman. of Connecticut, head of the Red Cross society, very properly declined a similar appointment on a similar Taft committee because the Red Cross is a semi national institution and is supported in part by the national government. Miss Boardman's declination on the ground that she did not believe one holding such appointment should participate in politics furnishes the News a text for a few flings at Miss Addams. Conditions are in no wise parallel. What Miss Addams has done through Hull House for the oppressed and needy and sin-sick has been done on her own initiative. She merely saw in the principles of the Progressive party a means of forwarding the good work. Besides, the new party indorsed woman h.ilfrage which Miss Addams has long labored for. She was in no wise under obligations to the general government and is as free as any other citizen to do whatever she may think is right. Connersville News. LA FOLLETTE'S DILEMMA. Senator La Follette is in something ' that id worse than a quandry as to the j presidential nominees. He disapproves j of Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt in vary- j ing degrees. The senator says "restraint and under statement" characterize and in a degree "weaken" Gov. Wilson's presentation of the issues, although he states that the governor is always clear and cites Wilson's declaration for a tariff for revenue holding that this must have required courage. Senator La Follette declares that Roosevelt's confession of faith is "neither the one thing nor the other," asserting that it is "just Roosevelt" and that the former president is "forcible, definite .u:d positive on matters about which there can be no dispute." The senator asserts that President Taft's speech of acceptance was "a direct appeal to the conservatives" and further declares the president "does not recognize that the people's movement for legislation will help In making the government more responsive to the w ill of the majority." Speaking of dilemmas the senator is sure in one. Obviously as he cannot support Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt there is only about one thing for him to do and that is get into the race himself. Possibly he would still find it possible to indorse the various and varied policies of Robert M. La Follette. Lafayette Courier. Man Eating Sharks. The sailor says that the most ferocious creature that swims in the sea is the shark. By that he does not mean every shark, but what is called the man eater. Just as a certain species of tiger in India is called the man eater because it hunts human being for its prey, preferring them to animals. The man eating shark is not the largest of this species of fish, but is noted for its strength, also the rapidity with which It swims. It goes through the water so rapidly that few fish exceed it In swiftness, and it is thus able to catch food of that kind. This is especially true in the waterssuch as the Indian and south Atlantic oceans, the Pacific ocean and the waters tributary to them that are deep enough for the shark to swim in.

OLD TIME SCHOOLS. Methods In Days When "No Lickin', Nj Lam in'," Was the Rule. The schoolroom practices of a half century ago are incredible to a modern pupil. It Is well that they have not been continued, but an account of them by an eyewitness is often amus ing. One incident from A. H. Hall's , "Old Bradford Schooldays" brings up!

a teacher who clung to the eld principle. "No lickin', no larnin'." Horace Walton, at recees. climbed to the top of the highest nut tree and. losing his hold, fell to the ground. 1U struck on many of the limbs in his descent. The boys were terribly frightened as he struck the ground. Just aa we crowded about him to see if be still lived, our faces as white as his, the bell rang for the resumption of studies. The last boy in was Walton, and just as he fell rather than sat down in his peat the master shouted. "Come out here instanter!" He gve him a Hogging that made the fall from the tree seem the lesser of the two evils. A few years ago. meeting Walton for tbe first time for many yearn, he remarked that he well reuiembored how that master at last succeeded in bringing things into routlue order in the school. Each morning a the school assembled this order was observed: "First bell, come to order; second liell, attention; third bell, lick Walton." WOMEN IN WALL STREET. Thty Are Good Winners, but Drown Their Losses In Tsars. To many brokers women are hoodoos. and some stock exchange bouses refuse absolutely to have anything to do with the fair sex. The majority of brokerage firms try their best to keep women's speculative accounts out of their offices. Some houses are obliged to take women's accounts as a matter of personal friendship, hut they will not open accounts for other women, no matter how well they may be introduced. Wall street men do not have a high opinion of the average woman's business sense. Most women have an idea that one needs only to get a "tip" from some "Insider" in Wall street to be sure of making "barrels of money" for new gowns, hats and Jewelry. The dictum of Wall street is that women are good winners, but bad losers. It is difficult to reason about money and business with an angry or weeping woman. Her view of Wall street and all its works suddenly becomes entirely emotional, and only a broker with Infinite patience can calm her. Many a time a stock exchange house has taken a woman customer's loss rather than face her tears. Strand Magazine. The Queer Carabao. The carabao is said to be slower than a camel and more obstinate than a mule. Every one seems agreed that the chief ambition In life of a carabao. if he has any at all. is to lie down in a puddle of water with Just his nose and horns sticking out. Consequently considerable commotion rules the wagon train when it approaches a stream that must be forded. The soldiers who are walking behind the carts as guards lay aside their rifles and begin to belabor each anlmaL In the middle of the stream the excitement reaches Its highest pitch. The carabao will begin to stretch his neck and bend his knees and grunt infallible indications of his Intention to lie down. Everybody works like a beaver to prevent him from accomplishing this fell purpose, but their labors are not always successful. They may get him over the stream, but this Is unusual good fortune.
