Now wouldn't that be just awful. Because Argos might probably sell her soul to the saloons for a very doubtful mess of trade pottage, that is of course, a very good reason why Plymouth should sacrifice her reputation and the lives of her youth to the saloon lnlluence. We do not believe ' for a minut that there is one chance in a hun dred that Walnut township will go "wet" if a vote is taken there. In the option election of March 1909 Walnut township cast a dry majority of 2S4. Does anyone think that there would be since then a sufficient change in the opinions of her citizens to put Walnut in the wet column f Plymouth people are going to de cide this question according to their own judgment and copvictions in the matter, and not depend on Argosfo their thinking. " We should ret a high example before Argos and Walnut township -that they may have for us a greater respect than. .f heretofore Plymouth has to consider no only her own boys and girls, men and women in this matter, but the influence on all the rest of the county and this is a thing the voters should not forget when they vote next Friday Their responsibility is as wide as the county in its direct effects, and much "vrider in its indirect influence. Voting machines are soon to be the method of voting all over this country and all wHo can should take advantage of the exhibition at the courthouse next week. We suggest that even the women try their hand on this one. There will 'be no objection, because the vote they may cast will not be counted. MARRIAGES Houser-Stilson. Edgar A.

Ctngle Thread Supports Weight 6v nty-Four Times Weight Spldtr Himself. The strength of the spider, and of the materials It employes, Is something almost incomprehensible, when the six of the Insect and the thickness of his thread are taken into account. Recent experiments have shown that a single thread of a web made by a spider which weighed 54 milligrams supported endwise a weight of four grams, or 74 times the weight of the spider itself. When, therefore, a spider spins a web to let himself down from the celling, or from the branch of a tree, and we see him descending without perceiving his thread at all, we may be perfectly sure that he Is not only in no danger of Tailing, but that he could carry 73 other spiders down with him on his invisible rope. Knowins this fact with reference to a single thread, we need not be surprised that the threads of a web, interwoven and reinforced one by another, have a very considerable strength, and are able to hold bees and wasps, themselves very powerful In proportion to their size, and to bend without breaking under a weight of dew or rain.

TO READ COIN INSCRIPTIONS Numismatist Shows Test That Seldom Fails to Reveal Dates on Worn Coins. Lying on the table in front of a numismatist was an old copper coin. It had experienced Lard usage. "Can you read the date and the Inscription?" inquired the collector. The visitor inspected the specimen, but, although he had the aid of a magnifying glass, he confessed that the words and figures were illegible. "Let me assist you," the collector remarked. Going to the kitchen range he thrust p.u ordinary coal shovel into the fire sxd permitted it to remain thtr until red hot. Withdrawing It, he dropped the coin on the utensil, and It speedily became as red hot as the shovel itself. Immediately the date, 1794, shone brightly in glowing figures on the obverse side of the coin, and similar treatment revealed the words United States of America one cent on the reverse. This test, according to the numismatist, seldom fails with any coin, even when the inscriptions have been worn so perfectly smooth that they are invisible to the naked eye. Costumes of Fish Skins. Among the most wonderful garments worn at the present day are the curious fish skin dresses of the wealthy women of the Gold tribe, living along the Amur river, East Siberia. Though they can neither read nor write these people are producing astonishing ornaments, designs and embroidery work. The dress is composed of several layers of fish skin, the undermost representing the skin of the garment proper, the uppermost showing "the ornaments in their cut-out forms. Between these two layers Is inserted a middle layer, which serves as a background, throwing out distinctly all parts of the ornaments. The pieces of fish skin forming the ornaments are generally colored blue. The front and back of the dress is adorned with these cut out pieces of fish skin sewed with fish skin thread. Christian Herald. Business Methods in the Home. There is some discussion going on in England, according to the London Dally Mirror, as to whether a man should not manage the house. A woman, say those In favor of the plan, is never trained In business methods, and when she has served apprenticeship in business, before marriage even, it was In a subordinate position where she had merely to take orders and carry them out mechanically. A man Is trained in managing subordinates and systematizing work, no matter what his calling may have been. The alternative is that women should receive training in business methods and system. Buzzard Freed of Trap. After a chase of three hours, Abram Layton and his son captured one of the largest buzzards ever seen in this section. Attached to the bird's leg waa a steel trap and an iron chain three feet long. "The buzzard was so' emaciated that it could hardly fly with its burden, which it had evidently carried for months, as the wound made, by th snapping of the steel trap had entire' healed. The bird , did not show fight, but seemed glad to get rid of its burden, and it looked so pitiful that Mr. Layton had compassion on it and set it free. Clayton Correspondence Philadelphia Record.

HOW TO READ SHAKESPEARE . tuc7ted Trains of Thought Ought ip Rise Above Reader's Version . of Author. Tou talk about reading Shakespeare, using him as an erpresslon for the highest intellect, and you wonder that any common person should be so presumptuous as to suppose his thought can rise above the text which lies bofore him. . But think a moment A child's reading of Shakespeare is one thing and Coleridge's or Schlegel's reading of him is another. The saturation point of each mind differs from that of every other. But I think It Is as true for, the small mind, which can only take up a little, as for the great one, which takes up much, that the suggested trains of thought and feeling ought always to rise above not the author, but the reader's mental

version of the author, whoever he may be. K I think most readers of Shakespeare sometimes find themselves thrown into, exalted mental conditions like those produced by music. Then they may drop the book, to pass at once Into the region of thought without words. We may happen to be very dull folks, you and I, and probably are, unless there is some particular reason to suppose the contrary. Rat we get glimpses now and then of a sphere of spiritual possibilities where we, dull as we are now, may sail in vast circles round the largest compass of earthly intelligence. NEW KIND OF SPEED FIEND Explains to Guileless Friend How He Happened to Be Arrested Six Times. A few weeks ago a man who "was tired of motoring" sold his machine to a guileless friend. Yesterday the purchaser approached the man from whom he had Dought the Car with a troubled expression on his face, and in the tone of one who has determined to do a disagreeable duty, and do it at once. "Look here, Jack," he began, "you're a friend of mine, and I I don't want to make any attacks on your veracity. But you told mo that you had been arrested six times In that automobile you sold me. "Now, I've tried my ' best, and I can't get her up to five miles an hour. Would you mind telling me how you happened to be arrested? The purchaser had no small amount cf sarcasm In his voice by this time, but his friend's answer came readily: "Certainly," said the man who had got rid of the motor car, "that's -all right I was arrested six times. It was for obstructing the highway." From the Blue Bird. In- Maeterlinck's-!Blue Bird" little Tyltyl goes to some far-off heavenly place to learn that love abides with him at home. There he meets Mother Love. He says he wishes to stay with her always, whero she looks so beautiful to Mm. She answers. But it's Just the same thing; I am down below, we are all down below. . . . Tou have come up here only to realize and to learn, onct asd for all, how to see me when you see me down below. . . Do you understand, Tyltyl, dear? . . . You believe yourself in heaven; but heaven is wherever you and I kiss each other. . . . There are not two mothers, and you have no other. . . . Every child has only one; and it is always the same one and always the most beautiful; but you have to know her and to know how to look. The Highest Kite Flight. The art of flying kites is carried to its greatest perfection at the large serological observatories, and the best records of altitudes up to date have been made at Mount Weather, Va., and Lindenberg, Germany. The former station is t25 meters above sea level, the latter only 12, a circumstance that should be remembered in comparing the records made In the two places. The following list of the highest flights, recently published by Dr. Assmann, gives the altitude above the ground, not above sea level: 1, Mount Weather, .740 meters; 2 Lindenberg, 6.660 meters; 3, Mount Weather, - l519 meters; 4, Mount Weather, 6,484 meters; 5, Llndenberg, 6,380 meters; 6, Mount Weather, 6,379 meters. Mortification Well Earned. An Englishman, alone with Richardson, the novelist said to him: "I am happy to pay my respects to the author of 'Sir Charles Grandison,' for at Paris, and at The Hague, and in fact, at every place I have visited, it is much admired." Richardson appeared not to notice the compliment but when all the company were assembled, addressed (the gentleman with: "Sir, I think you 'were saying something aboit 'Sir ! Charles Grandison.' " ! k "No, sir " he replied. "I do not reI member ever to have heard It men"tloned." From Arvine'a Cyclopedia of Anecdotes. Quick Traveling. Every one in eastern Oregon calls State Senator Bowerman "Jay," and thinks that when it comes to trying a hard fought criminal case there is none better. Not long ago the late candidate for governor defended a participant .in a shooting scrape at Fossil and a material point In the case hinged upon the testimony of an aged Tennesseean. "Where were you when this 'shot was fired?" queried counsel for the .defense. "I were about ten feet behlnt the feller what got shot." "And were you there when the marshal arrived?" "No, sah; I waVt nowhere nigh the place." "You must have traveled pretty fast," suggested Mr. Bowerman. The witness, projected' his goatee over the rail of the witness stand and in a confidential tone of voice said: "Well, Jay, 111 tell ye; I made Jest three tracks between Knox's lirery barn and the cotehouse."

Inereases Temperature- In Daytime and .Checks Fall of Temperatur at Night. When the air Is very thick and hazy It may contain floating dust partides to the number of from 10,000 to 20.000 in every cubic centimeter, while a cubic contlmeter of very clear air may contain only from a dozen to a few hundred particles. An English observer's data indicates that there is a relation between the quantity of dust and the temperature of the air. A great amount of dust, It is thought Increases the temperature in the daytime and checks the fall of temperature at night -The reason is that the presence of dust serves as an obstruction to the free radiation of heat through the air. The sunbeams pass through very pure, clear air without lending much heat to it, and at night the heat received by the ground during the day readily escapes through the same air; but if the atmosphere is heavily laden with dust, the sun's rays are partially arrested by the particles which, becoming heated. In turn warm the air, and In like manner heat radiated from the earth at night is retained in the hazy layers of air In contact with its surface. Without its atmosphere, which serves as a coverlet to protect it against the fearful cold of space, the

surface of the earth would be frozen like that of the airless moon. But the data gathered by reliable observers Bhow that the atmospheric blanket wrapped around our planet varies in its power to retain heat in proportion to the amount of dust particles that It contains. Harper's Weekly. WHERE ART WAS AT FAULT House Maid Has Trouble With Picture of Leaning Tower of Pisa. Among the engravings that adorned the walls of a Toledo woman's home was on big one of the leaning tower of Pisa. One morning, shortly after the advent of a new maid, the mistress of the house noticed that the picture of the tower hung crooked. She straightened it and said nothing of the matter ' to the new servant, who had evidently shifted it while dusting. The next day the picture was again' crooked; the same thing happened the next day and the next Finally, one morning, chancing to be in the room where the picture was, the mistress said to the maid as he dusted: , "Mary, you've hung that picture of the tower crooked. Just look at It!" "That's what I say, mum," returned the domestic, "look at it! The only way I can git that blamed tower to hang straight Is to hang the picture crooked." Lippincott's. Unredeemed Paris Pledge. An incident not without pathos occurred toward the end of last week at a sale of unredeemed pledges at the Mont de Piete. There were sold by auction a child's drinking cup, plate, spoon and knife and fork. Fifty-ono years ago these souvenirs were deposited in the Paris municipal pawnshop. Every year since the Interest has been paid regularly and the right of redemption secured, but the family never seem to have possessed the necessary 15 or 20 francs to resume possession. Evidently the poor people are either dead or have become more needy. Two years ago the interest ceased to be paid, but the department, to their credit abstained from selling these "lares and penates." Several letters were addressed at the last known residence and to other places where the pawners have lived, but they have come back marked "Inconnu." The sands of the" glass have run out and the objects so carefully guarded for half a century have been sold. Austrian State Coach. The emperor Austria owns the most teautiful state coach in existence. Its proportions are perfect and the finish of the moldings and carvings are exquisite. It was built in 1696, and is shaped with all the curves which distinguish Louis Quatorve furniture, straight lines being carefully avoided. The panels are adorned with nymphs In the style of Rubens. Indeed, the custodian inforrrs those privileged to view the coach that they are the work of Rubens. If Peter the painter had not died 56 years before the coach was built his statement would be believed. It is a, more comfortable conveyance, too, than the British state coach, being hung upon well balanced springs. Fastening Battery Wires. There are two ways of doing almost everything, and this is especially true of fastening battery and coil terminal wires. One way Is. wrong, and the other is to twist the bare end of the wire around the terminal as the hands of the clock move, and then tighten up the nut The reason for this is because the screw-thread Is right-handed, therefore the tendency of the tightening nut will be to twist the wire around the terminal tighter than it was. Should the wire be twisted the other -, the nut would tend to untwist it and It would slip under the nut and very likely get a very poor bold. , Overcrowded. "There's no doubt," remarked a shopkeeper, "there are too many humbugs &nd swindlers in this town." - That is so," agreed hi companies; myru and I must leave it!" ( Eca Soup.

Slipper day in the Netherlands is the one day in ,the year in which the Dutch woman claims superiority over her husband. On that day she rules him to her heart's content, and he generally obeys good humoredly enough.
