William Jennings Bryan is.the best paid preacher in the United States, receiving more money for his lectures and writings than President Roosevelt gets for his. Details are not. wanting to prove this. The lvceum bureau, which manages Mr. Bryan's lecture tours, asserts that he filled 175 dates in 1907, and that his receipts for the season yielded more than $360 for each appearance, or a total of $52,500. There can be no sort of doubt that Mr. Bryan stands at the head of the platform speakers of today for the size of his audiences, for the receipts at the box office and for the demands for his appearance.—Springfield Re- publican.

USE TRANSPLANTED EYELASHES Eyebrows, Too, Are Now Supplied by a Skillful Specialist. : In Paris and London, where the idea originated, there are specialists who make a handsome living out of the process of transplanting hair from the head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. Only the brave and rich can patron- ize the new method at present, for, besides being painful and costly, it takes a long time to accomplish it. The specialist works by putting in, not on, the new eyelashes and eye- brows wherever they are absent or grow thin, and so cunning is he in his work that not even the closest scrutiny can detect any difference. By means of the new process, it is said. eyes which are at ordinary times only passable become languish- ing in their exvoression, while eyes which were previously considered fine have their beauty much enhanced.

The circulation of daily weather maps, reports and forecasts .is and will remain the most valuable’ part of the bureau's work, and it may be said in passing that its value iis ‘in- estimably greater than many persons think. But there are other services which the bureau may perform, well worth the comparatively trifling cost which they will involve, and among these is that now proposed, of supply- ing the public in important centers .of population with accurate informa- tion concerning current. meteorologi- cal conditions, such as temperature, mumidity and barometrical pressure.— Something New Under the Sun, ‘A lady in Illinois sent us 12¢c a year ago for our remarkable collection of ee and flower seeds and sold $37.76 worth therefrom, or made 314 per cent.

His Hands were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body— Cured in 4 Days by Cuticura. “Ope day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn’t think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itcning sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his bady, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. I purchased a box of Cuticura Eoap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and HUMAN SACRIFICE IN RUSSIA, Is Being Investigated. An amazing story of fanaticism has come from the village of Susoyeff, in southern Russia. % A peasant named Michaloff had an exceedingly clever little boy, who be- igy and was admired, almost as a miraculous being. . In the same locality there lived a rich and “religious” peasant called the “Saint,” who was believed to be a prophet. This “Saint” grew envious of the child’s popularity and pegan to spread rumors that should he be al- lowed to grow up he would become the anti-Christ and bring untold woe upon the peasants, On July 30 the “prophet” called a meeting of the 30 richest peasants in the district, to whom he explained that if the boy was killed they would be made happy and prosperous and the village would become the capital of the country. It was agreed to sacrifice the child. Two days later the “Saint” gave or- ders to the men, took an icon in his hand and distributed lighted candles among his followers. He headed the procession to the child’s home at 11 o'clock at night and demanded that the parents should hand the boy over as he wanted to pray with him. The “prophet” washed the young-- ster, saying prayers meanwhile, and then choked him by placing his foot on his neck, in front of the parents. Subsequently he ordered the awe- stricken father to help him to tear the child to pieces, and as the man re- fused the body was mutilated with a hatchet. The remains were put into a basket, which was fixed to the tail of a white mare.” . i The “Saint” mounted the horse and declared that it was the will of God that the body should be buried at a spot where the horse should voluntar- ily stop. : : The horse was. started, and the peas- ants, still burning their candles, ' fol- lowed. At a certain point the animal halt- ed and the rémains were. buried with the hatchet and. the basket. if . The police, hearing of the ocecyr- rence, arrested 28 men, including the “Saint.” and all are now awaiting trial.—Baltimore Sun. : i Dickens, Inns. Sl To the lover of Dickens the news of the sale, which has just taken place, of the famous Bull hotel at Rochester, at which the famous Pickwick party “put up” on their drive from Londen to the country, recalls a host of asso- ciations, for it’ was here that Mr. Jin- gle “applied himself with, great inter- est to the port wine and dessert” where Jingle, too, insulted Dr. Slam- mer; where Tracy Tupman and the widow, Mrs. Budger, tripped the light fantastic toe; and where Charles Dic- kens himself slept in bedroom 17 on several occasions, 1 The announcement for sale of Bar- nard’s Inn in Holborn recalls still further associations with Dickens. Barnard’s Inn is the Red Tavern at which Pip of “Great Expectations” lodged; it is mentioned both in “Bar- naby Rudge” and “Pickwick,” and Dickens had his lodging in the inn for some time.

In the state of Tamauliapas, in Mex- ico, parrots of the much-prized‘‘double yelowhead” variety—famous as con- versationalists—are found in count- less flocks. The woods are literally full of them and are voeal with their harsh ery from sunrise to sunset. They seem to have but one note; it is only in confinement that they are imi- tative. Parrots build their nests in holes and hollows of trees. The work of procuting their young is extremely arduous, even for the expert natives. Trees in the tropics are commonly festooend with climbing vines of thick- nesses varying from a thread to the size of a ship-cable and all this net- work of vegetation is usually infested by myriads of desperately fierce ants of large size, which both bite and sting. Many an unfortunate peon, it is said, has lost his life while engaged in this pursuit, because tortured Dbe- yond endurance by the ferocious in- sects, he was unable to retain his grip.—Chicago News.

J Buyers are coming into the lead- ing markets in large numbers, which should soon increase transactions un- less prices cannot be adjusted.

Blast furnaces are slow to resume, and a meeting will be held next week to de- termine upon wage scale. Prices have declined to an extent that neces- sitates plans for lowering costs of production.
