C. O. ANDERSON, Publisher. HOLBKOOK, - AKIZOXA Fashion note The favorite colors for 1809 are red, white and blue. Porto Rico appears to be distinctly the good little girl among the Spanish orphans. If Spain keeps up her present pace and direction she will soon be down to a size suitable to a boy king. When a young man demonstrates that he has money to burn, some young woman always stands ready to furnish the match. Adam Zad, of whom Rudyard Kip ling wrote, must not be confounded with the notorious Adam Zapple of an earlier period. If the men are not paying much at tention to the corset trust it may be because It presses the other sex more closely than themselves. Bernhardt, it appears, has witnessed an eruption of Vesuvius. She is suffi ciently free from professional Jealousy to admit It was a red-hot show. The Minister of War In Belgium has ordered 25,000 patriotic song books dis tributed In the army. He proposes to make Belgium's foes sing small. - As soon as the dismemberment of China can be accomplished without a war It may be said that the prospects for universal peace are really pretty fair. There can be no doubt of the sin cerity of the tribute to Col. Waring of the New York overshoe dealer who said the Colonel's street cleaning cut his sales in half. ' It Is presumed that England has placed that order with the shipbuild ers on the Clyde merely to help enforce the Czar's proposal for disarmament if the nations assent to it. What those Pacific Islands need is a dash of American speed and energy, Think of a people who could waste the time of four syllables In pronouncing a six-lettered word like Iloilo. It was a modest Philadelphia maiden lady who in relating the story of a re cent shipwreck told her friends that seven sailors were brought ashore by the life-savers in the pantaloons buoy. It's proposed In Greece that no bache lors shall be allowed seats in the lower branch of the national congress. This may be because by their training they have less regard for the speaker of the house. Spanish books will be admitted to Cuba free of duty for the next ten years. Let us hope that by that time the Cubans will be writing and print ing books of their own that will repre sent the beginnings of a new literature. Little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has again informed her ministers that she proposes to have a voice in govern lng her dominions, and those staid Dutchmen are learning that a woman's voice is one of the hardest things in the world to ignore. With adequate compensation and as sured permanency in the service men of talent would be induced to specially train themselves for consular work and devote their lives to it. Where we now have consuls who regard their places as mere sinecures given them as re ward for political service or through the mediation of somebody with "pull' at Washington, we should have men giving all their energies to the work with as much enthusiasm as if it were their chosen profession as, in deed, it would be under a proper sys tem. gently lifting the hat from the face of the dead, and looking at it with tearful eyes, he said, with proud tenderness, Well done, my boy!" Soon replacing the hat, he strode off, with soldierly erectness, to where his duty lay, to die, few months later, of disease contract ed at Santiago. The powers, Russia included, impel led to further armament by the achievements of some one or two of them, are pursuing a circle from which they cannot safely step. Some day they will turn upon each other and col lide, and after exhaustion and ruin have made it imperative for them to put every sound man at work they may consider a long truce or even an agreement to turn their wasted armies Into police. But to think they will do so while in the flush and vigor of their quarrelsome military strength is to in dulge in a millennial dream. Here Is a story given in the New Tork Sun. Its pathos and Its exhibí tlon of a soldier father's patriotic pride will appeal to feeling and to sympathy, When, on the battle-line, tidings came to Captain Capron of the regulars, an nouncing the death of his son, killed at Las Guásimas, he went, when duty permitted, to where the body lay. The dead soldier s hat was placed over hi face. His poncho covered his body, Only the feet, clad In mud-clotted shoes, were visible. White-faced, but sternly erect, the father stood, gazing upon the last of three brave sons. Then, One of the model hotels for single men, built in New York City by D. O. Mills, and so managed that it promises to be self-supporting, is nine stories I high and holds fifteen hundred and sixty sleeping rooms, all of which front ! the street or one of the open courts. It Is elegantly finished and furnished. with every desirable improvement and comfort; and its patrons get bed and board, with the free use of library, reading-rooms and baths, for fifty to seventy-five cents a day. There is no bar, and a visitor gets the Impression that the men are clean, orderly and self-respecting. The scheme of Mr. Mills Includes three of these hotels, with the possibility of another for women. ... . Professor Charles E. Tripler, ol Brooklyn, continues to have unbounded faith in the practical uses of liquefied air as a substitute for steam and for high explosives. His recent announce ment of his ability to manufacture liquid air cheaply and In large quanti ties is now further supplemented with j the statement that' he has Invented a practical motor, by means of which the new force can be applied to all kinds of machinery. In its revolution- : izlng effects Frofessor Tripler's dls-j coverles with liquid air stand In close rivalry with Tesla's claims in regard ; to his electric oscillator. Both men have still to give practical proof of their j amazing claims, but their experiments are profoundly interesting for all that j Professor Tripler says his motor "re-, quires only the perfection of a few' mechanical details" in order to make It run railway trains, steamships, and factories. As liquid air has been dem onstrated to possess from twenty to one hundred times the power of steam ' there can be no doubt as to its ability to , supplant steam if once applied in a practical way.' The few details which ' Mr. Tripler admits remain to be solved ' may prove to be larger obstacles than ! he imagines, but the enormous possi-j bilities so nearly within his reach cer- tainly ought to spur him on to success ; anything can. If he can complete his motor it will assure a place for 1 liquid air second in importance only to electricity Itself. The use of liquid air as a refrigerating agency and as an explosive, as well as its application as a motive power for all sorts of machin ery, presents such a multitude of im portant possibilities that the public will not fail to watch with keen Interest the inventor's future progress.

There are those who would have us believe that men have degenerated in heroism since the old days of chivalry. Not so. There are not only more men of heroic courage to-day than ever be fore in the history of the world, but the number is greater in proportion to other for." Exchange, me population, .excluding our ueweys, Hobsons and other giants in warlike courage, there remain untold thou sands in the humble walks of life who require only the opportunity to demon strate the God-like heroism which is in them. Every daily newspaper-brings to its readers stories of heroism as great, if not so momentous in their ef fects on history, as were ever immor talized In song or story. Two incidents 1 can of recent occurrence will serve as ex amples. Only a few days ago a locomo tive fireman, sticking to his perilous post to the fatal climax, was pinned under his derailed locomotive in a rail way wreck In Pennsylvania. His lower limbs were securely held by the great weight above them and he was power less to free himself. The flames which Customer Do you think this medi cine will have the desired effect?

Then, instead of breaking out in lam-' entations and bemoaning his fate, he : calmly shook hands with those nearest ; him, bade them good-by, drew his coat over his face and waited the coming of : death In its most frightful manner.

More recent and perhaps even more heroic Is the case of William Car- j ney, of Richmond, Ind. He was an engineer in the Richmond Rolling Mills. He was alone in the engine room, when ' he fell against a large gear wheel. One ! leg was torn completely from his body. ' Realizing that no one would come for hours and that disaster would certain-1 ly result if the fires under the boilers ' were left burning, this humble hero ' dragged himself fully fifty feet to the boiler room, turned off the natural gas, ! and died. When the machinery stop- j ped other employes rushed to the en-: gine room to ascertain the trouble and found the dead hero with a smile of , exultation on his pallid face. Death had been sweetened by the thought of duty well performed and pcrhapa other lives saved. Talk of the herow of old! We have their superiors witt us to-day in every walk of life. A. & B.
