Laborer's Find of Ancient Coins. While digging in a field in Goth land, England, a laborer found some coins dating from the year 1000, and a further and more exhaustive search brought to light about seven thousand Anglo-Saxon and 1,000 Byzantine coins. Tho authorities were acquainted with the discovery, and the valuable collection is to be transferred to the museum at Copenhagen. The laborer was substantially rewarded. A National Waste. The United States grows annually 8,000,000 tons of flax straw, which should produce 2,000,000 tons of fin ished flax fiber, which, if manufac tured into linens, would add millions of dollars every year to the commer cial value of the United States. This fiber is burned. We have not one dol lar invested in linen manufacturing from American flax, and import up ward of $118,000,000 of linen fabrics per annum. Sermons at All Prices.

Boys used to run away from home with an ambition to go west and fight Indians.

A local paper adds: "The bloodthirsty little scamp!"— Kansas City Star. At a Funeral. A writer in the London Lancet men tions lurid incidents at a funeral. A man was supposed to have run danger of being buried alive; for when his coffin was moved a knocking sound was heard within. When it was opened it was found that a hammer had been left in it, and had jolted about so as to cause the noise. Not Mixing It Up.

OF PAYNE BILL PROVED BY CUSTOMS REPORTS. Figures Refute Absurd Claim Made That the Tariff Had Not Been Revised With a View to Reduction. After many years of tariff contro versy, in which each side has support ed its contentions with its own ar rangement of the • same figures, the prudent reader has learned to regard any general conclusions drawn from tariff statistics with reserve. The customs reports do, nevertheless, fur nish the only definite data by which he can judge the operation of the tariff. The figures relating to imports under the Payne bill for the nine months ending witli April convey irii portant information upon the actual effect of the recent revision. The revenue yielded during this period, to begin with, $252,000,000, was greater than was yielded in a like period by any previous tariff. This was expected, and by itself would in dicate an increase of duties. The in-1 crease of duties, however, is shown not to be in proportion to the in creased value of importations. The treasury calculations make the a' campaign opens up. It i will be the same old kind of a fight, j with tie- same old rt lull. Last Liver pool l(i view. Proper Credit Withheld.

SAFE IN REPUBLICAN HANDS Practical Impossibility That the Demo crats Will Soon Control Na tional Legislation. "I would rather be speaker for two yearn than United States senator for 18," Representative Champ Clark of Missouri is reported as saying. He added that "the Democrats will con trol the next house as aure as you are living, and I think 1 have a good show for the speakership." Mr. Clark may be exaggerating a lit tle about that 18 years in the senate as not to be compared with two years in the speaker's chair, but due allow ance must be made for enthusiasm. He really believes that the Democrats are going to sweep the country, and that he is going to succeed Uncle Joe Can non. Well, suppose, for the sake of argu ment, he should; what could he accom plish? In any event, the senate would be Republican. That would mean, of course, that the house over which Mr. Clark would preside would be rank failure. It might stir up the country by its radical opinions on the tariff and on trusts. It might threaten to do all sorts of things. But what could r it do in reality? It would, 110 doubt, offer the senate legislation of a char acter that, could it be adopted, would bring the nation to the verge of bank ruptcy, but the senate would promptly reject any such propositions. No doubt the house would give an entertaining performance, and no doubt, too, Speak er Clark would add the grace of ring master to the circus; but doesn't he think that the country would tire of such exhibitions after a bit and would seize the first pportunity to hasten back to conservatism? And, In that event, what would be come of Speaker Clark, the leader of a lost cause and of a repudiated party?— Philadelphia Inquirer. President's Rebuke of a Congressman. Why all this pother about the dis inclination of the president to receive Congressman Francis Burton Harri son? The New York congressman made some offensive remarks about the president. Does he then expect to kick a man publicly one day, and ex tend a hand to him privately the next? Mr. Harrison charged the presi dent with having antedated his sum mary of the Balllnger case with the intention of deceiving the public, though but very few people have been so unkind as to credit the president with anything more than carelessness in the matter. Some politicians en tertain the convenient belief that they can impute bac} motives to an oppo nent one day and exchange courtesies with him the next, so lightly do they regard a reputation for veracity, and so slow are they to credit another with sensitive feelings. While a con gressman ought not to be lightly de nied access to the executive, never theless the Taft rebuke to Mr. Har rison is reassuring, inasmuch as it ad vertises the existence of delicacy and good taste in the White House. It Is well that the public man's feelings do not becom - too callous about matters of honor. Tariff and Cost of Living. By all means let one or both of the congress investigating committees show the relation of the tariff to the high cost of living. For example, that cotton has been going up and up with no tariff. That, with a woolen tariff, clothes are as cheap as they ever were. For example, that anthracite coal joined the upward procession; no tariff. A tariff on many cotton manu factures, which hiive scarcely ad vanced, though raw material and labor have. For example, that sugar is dearer with n tariff reduction than It was when the duty was higher. That, with a duty on hides, shoes did not go up; now prices of shoes are mounting; free hides. There is plenty men l . Let's have it all, faithfully and officially. Then, perhaps, the people of the United States will understand that this cost of living question is a problem rather deeper than the average shallow pate that undertakes to show us why something is that isn't nnd something isn't that Is. —New York Press.

Scranton, Pa. —Dr. F. W. Lange, the Scranton physician and amateur al •hemist in whose laboratory Charles C. Dickinson, the banker, inhaled the fumes which were the remote cause of his death, has given out a signed statement discussing his supposed dis covery of a means to transmute base metals Into silver. Doctor Lange's first experience with metals was gained as an apprentice tinsmith in Scranton, where he was born in 1861. He began work in the tinshop when he was fifteen and by working days and studying nights, saved money nnd prepared himself to enter Wesleyan university, at Mid dletown, Conn. He was twenty-three when he entered college. He studied chemistry under Pro fessor Atwater and biology under Pro fessor Conn, and after taking his de gree of bachelor of philosophy in 1888 Dr. F. W. Lange. entered Hahnemann college, In Phil adelphia, where he was graduated in 1891. Since then Doctor Lange has practised medicine and has interested himself in several industrial enter prises. In his statement, which he calls "The true story of Dr. F. W. Lange's sensational discovery," he discusses In very general terms his reported dis covery of at least a piece of the phi losopher's stone and says: "What I have been evolving may be an apparent confirmation of the the ory of alchemy, in which, however, I have no interest, as the things that interest me are only such things as can be done scientifically." At the same time he asks in large capitals; "Is my new metal silver? Does Its manufacture mean that I have transmuted metals?" The doc tor answers his own question by say ing he thinks it is. "An investigation of the chemicals Involved In the preparation of a new smokeless powder," Doctor Lange says, led him into Investigation "along the lines of nitrates and chlorides and the carbonates." "Incidentally," he says, "I met a party who threw out a statement that led me to investigate the combination of certain matrices by the use of which synthetically larger quantities of the elementary matter could be developed." This then Is Doctor Lange's specific claim that he is able to combine sil ver with Muxes and obtain a greatly increased amount of silver. The old alchemists believed that silver would breed silver and sold. As to how far in his opinion the growing of silver can he carried. Doc tor Lange says that the report that he can make a ton of silver from an orig inal small quantity is quite ridiculous and that he has succeeded "In mul tiplying molecules In that proportion." Reviewing his discovery Doctor Lange says that while his discovery "may be an apparent confirmation of tho theory of alchemy," that doesn't Interest him, and thut he does not care "to waste time about the phi losopher's stone."

"What's a shame?" asked the res taurant man in surprise. "Why, that you should give that pretty waitress all the tough steaks for the patrons at her table." "Oh, I pay her extra for that. You see she is so pretty not one man would kick If the steaks were so tough they pulled his teeth out." Paired.
