- Binoe the Publication in Collier's
Weekly of an article by L. R. Glavis
condemning the action of Secretary
Bellinger In legard to opening gov-
' trnment lands for settlement, the
feeling against Forester Pinohot by
the friends ot the Secretary baa been
renewed. If Ballinger ia sincere in
his desire to protect the lands from
being grabbed by water Companies
there should be no controversy.
That is all Finchot asks.
A despatch from the Secretary of
the Commonwealth gays that all the
Conststutional Amendments, except
the seventh, have carried. It 1b
thonght the schedule also baa been
adopted. The majority for the
Amendments will range from 6 to
8000. . -
At an election held last week the
following were selected as offlolals
of the Milford Gas Co. for the ensa
lng year. President H. ,B Beod
Sr. Vloa President P. N. Bonrnique
Secretary T. H. Baker 8 npt. and

George D. Lattimore has pur
chased two drug stores one In Lake

He is a Milford boy and by thrift
and and energy has been auocoesfnl.
A. D. Brown accompanied by bis
daughter Lydia, and C. G. Wood
, went to Chester, N. J. by auto this
week.
A reason given, and probably a
good one, why there are so many au
to accidents In New York is that the
bioyclo cops, whose duty it Is to ar
rest for speeding, are grafters and
take pay from violators of stend laws
to look another way. Possibly tbat
- elty Is not alone in that kind of be
nevolenoe.
Edna Walker wife of LeGrand
Ball a former resident of Matamoraa
died suddenly at her home last Sun

'. At the last election in Maryland a
constitutional amendment proposing
an educational test for colored citi
luens was voted down. At Brown
University recently the members of
the class in history were asked to
write the full names of the President
of the Uuited States, a Justice of the
Supreme Court, the Governors name,
a Justice of the Supreme Court of
Rhode Island and the mayor of Piov
iden.ee, and if tbat test bad been a
condition of their voting every one
would have failed.
The liquor dealers association ot
Lackawanna County has beguu a
crusade against illegal sellers. This
is a right beginning by the propsr
party.
It looks like a pretty safe gamble
that if the higher oourts have the op
portunity they will emasculate s
law passed tor the best interests of
the people. Oar Supreme Court de
cides that it is better qualified to
pass in the merits of an applicant
for a lloense than the local court,
and the court of appeals in New
York holds that oral betting on a
horse raoe is not a oilaie. Why will
Judtoial acumen split a hair to tbs
big part falls to the lot of men who
want to Injure the public for their
own gain.

Ons of Those' foolish Questions.
A certain man, .of rather a waggish
disposition, contends that his wife
has no Imagination. A writer tn tbe
Philadelphia Public Ledger tells why
he thinks so. At dinner one night he
chanced to mention a tragic circum
stance which be had read in the even
ing paper on the way home.
It seemed that a passenger on a
transatlantic steamer had fallen ovor
board In mid-ocean, and bad never
been seen again.
"Was as drowned T" asked his wife.
"Oh. no." answered the husband,
'but he sprained his snkle, I believe."
Paper from the Okra Stem.
Prom extended experiments that
have recently been made at Macon,
Qa.. It baa been found tbat a fine
grade of paper can be mads from
pulp prepared from the okra stem, and
a plant for making paper from this
Kturce Is likely to be erected in that
elty at an early date. Okra Is easily
grown In the southern states, and
could be produced In large quantities
as a papermoklng plant The plant
la an herb belonging to tbe mallow
family, genua hibiscus. Its botanical
same is hibiscus esculentus.
Limited Monarchy.
A limited monarchy Is one In which
-he power and prerogatives of the
overelgn are limited by constitution
J provisions or by custom recognised
is law. The British empire la gov
erned by a limited monarchy. A lim
ited monarchy differs from an abso
lute monarchy tn that In the latter
ase the will of the monarch la abso
lute and the sovereign U limited by
oo constitutional barriers or regula
tions. Bering tea Volcanic Islands.
" The Bogoslots are a group of three
small volcanic Islands in the southern
part of Bering sea, and IT miles north
west of the Island of Unalaska. One
of these Islands, Castle Kock. has
beoa known since 179; Fire Island
oos beea knowu since 1883, while the
third one. Perry Island, rose fium the
sea about the time of the Ban Fran
cisco earthquake. In 190S. According
to a letter to Science, this Island has
now suns.
Meaning of Twine.
The Standard Dictionary defines a
twin as "on of two young produced
at a birth; said of human beings and
of beasts, and used mostly In the
plural." it will thus be aeea that
ta-lna" means a pair that Is two
and s "pair ot twins" would mesa

The most curious lacs is called
point tiesse. It la very rare and was
Diado of human hair. French collec
tors say that It exists In the present
day only in tbelr cabinets.
It ivas confined to the early part of
the sixteenth century. Margaret,

her son.. Lord Charles Lennox, mar
ried the daughter of Bess of Hard-
i'lc',:e. a bit of this kind of lacs to
Mary. Queen of Scots.
T'lis Is a very strong proof of ber
belief in the queen's Innocence of tbe
i'uilt that had been Imputed to her.
The little square of point treses was
worked by the old eoun teas' own
bands from her own gray hair. It
was. In fact, hair mixed with fins flax.
