The scarcity of labor in relation
to the demand has already compell

the service who are over years

While the Japanese are being lec

that a line of $2.72 shoes from
America was lately landed in Aus
tralia of which the Sydney Tlulletin
says: "The only scrap of real leath
er about them was a shaving on the

that looked like kid, some wood,
some paper, and about SO stitches.
l)r. Babcock. In the Wisconsin
Rtation report for 1905, reports that
a cow giving 20 pounds of milk a
day should receive from 6 to one
ounce of salt, to furnish the sodium
and chlorin in the milk, and supply
other needs of the body. If de
prived of salt, salt hunger results.
Many so-called stock foods prove
their apparent value to the salt they
contain, and the mlxtuers of them
make their money by selling salt at
from 8 to 20 cents a pound.
It is related that “after suffering
with rheumatism in his foot and va
rious remedies afforded him no re
lief. Harry Rice, a Philadelphia &
Reading brakeman, recently heard
that the sting of bees was a cure, and
he resolved to try it. Going near a
hive he bared the sole of his foot.
Several bees stung it so severely that
it swelled to twice its normal size
Next day ail the swelling subshl -d
the rheumatism left the foot and
Rice was able to report for duty.”

The Rockefeller Interests In the
higher education were startled
they must have been by the an
nouncement that Mr. Carnegie had
decided to invade the Chicago Held
with a new university. As the ar
tides of Incorporation call for an
institution "for the teaching of med
icine, dentistry, pharmacy, science
and arts, law, theology, and all
kindred branches of learning,” the
university of Chicago seems in for
serious competition. For Mr. Car
negie’s university may lie free to
ill comers without tuition charges.
The oil trust, and tile steel trust will
each maintain its great seminary of
learning.

It seems a very groat. pily that
hoiiio determined effort cannot ho
made to make dancing more popu

between the North and Smith, and
so to put an end to bloodshed, had
ended In failure. Mr. Lincoln and
Mr. Stephens hod mot in 1817. when
both wore members of Congress, and
something like very warm personal
friendship had developed between
them; this was strengthened at
Hampton Hoads. When they came
to say goodby, the President of the
United States remarked with feeling
to the Vive-Presidont of the Con
federacy;
"Well, Stephens, there has been
nothing we could do for our country.
Is there anything T can do for you

’•ml been captured at the siege of

i -• months In Now Orleans, and then
rriod to Johnson's Islnnd.
When ho reported at headquarters
'i<- was told that he was to report at
once to President Lincoln. So ho was
drlvt»n across the Ice on Lake Krle In
;t ■ l<-igh twenty miles to Sandusky,
ml went on to Washington.
Then* at once he sought tho Presi
dent. and. having sent In his name,
In was Immediately ushered Into Mr.
Lincoln's presence. Ho found the
Pr< sident sitting on a table In a half
I- lining position, and talking with
'■•crctary Seward. Mr. Lincoln rose
idtook his hand very cordially and
said:
“I told your nn«*lo I would send

Naturally, the lieutenant was
deeply moved and grateful.
‘‘You have the freedom of the
city," Mr. Lincoln continued as long
as you pleaso to remain hero. When
vou want to go borne, let. mo know,
ami I will pass you through the
lines.”
Tho lieutenant stayed two weeks.
Joy can he Imagined. Mr. Lincoln
‘alked on pleasantly, telling him of
the Hampton Hoads Conference, ask
ing him questions and making tho
hour a memorable one In many ways.

Many old friends entertained him,
and he was In a state of mind and
body to set value on such a show of
good will.
Ho recovered his strength rapidly,
and when he went to Mr. Lincoln and

tho federal lines, and then handed
him his photogrnph. saying.
"You had better take that along.
It. is considered quite a curiosity
down your way, I bellevo."
Lieut. Stephens went on to Rich

privileged to make a visit, to his rela
