No Alcohol SCOT NNE C., rift - ) ft Consul Dennison writes from Dun- dee, Scotland, that the final official forecast of the current Indian jute crop places the area under cultivation at 2,377 acres, with an estimated out- run of 7,428,733 bales of 400 pounds each. The forecast shows a decrease in area of 972,121 acres, or nearly 30 per cent, from last year, while the es- timated output is over 3,000,000 bales short of the previous crop. The pre- ceding year's acreage had been the second largest in the history of the jute crop, while that for the current year is the smallest since 1903. The crop would be insufficient for the world's requirements were it not for the fact that there is a large carry- over from the closing season, practic- ally none of last year's jute having reached the continent, and there will be no demand for supplies from Bel- gium, Germany and Austria. Con- sumption for the season of 1915-16 is estimated at 8,580,000 bales. TO CLEAR BAD COM- PLEXIONS USE RESINOL Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol soap and hot water ,then apply a little resinol ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash off, with resinol soap and more hot water, finish with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, removes pim- ples and blackheads, and leaves the complexion clear and velvety. Resinol ointment and resinol soap stop itching instantly and speedily heal skin humors, sores, burns, wounds and chafing.

The World Hesitates to Believe In the Honesty of Such an Individual, Though He May Consider Himself Independent. The born dissenter generally merits share of the world's frowns which he somehow manages to evade. Per- haps it is because the world pities him, and what it pities it hesitates to frown upon. But a lively soul abhors pity as much as it does condemnation. slot the born dissenter, however. If he abhors anything it is the thought that some day he will miss an oppor- tunity to exhibit his talent for dis- senting in a situation where his ex- ample would influence others to see his conception of right. He denies himself tobacco not because he does not like It, but because he likes to have his friends believe that he thinks It injurious, and has the strength to do without it In the midst of a social gathering he pleads a business en- gagement as an excuse for leaving. He has no business engagement, but it pleases him to think that he has im- pressed a certain group of persons with his attention to business, even in the face of a pleasant altertiative. In matters of politics and religion and other things that do not immediately touch his pocketbook, his opinion is generally contrary to that of the ma- jority, not because that is the way he thinks, but because to be with the ma- jority Is to be merely one of the mob, and to admit the possession of intel- lectual attributes hardly above the or - hoary. He calls this independence, and as often as not he is admired for it. He is also commended for his vir- tues. They are stern virtues, and he :ilings to them successfully. As a mat- ter of fact, they are negative virtues, and all of them involve his penchant for dissension. He is good because, to his way of thinking, the vast ma- jority of persons are not good. He is, therefore, different and better, and this is distinction enough for him. The only trouble with him is that he has frozen the soul out of himself. His kindness consists in avoiding opportu- nities to be unkind, and since kind- ness is the greatest of human virtues he is forced to live a frigid existence In the alleyways of life, and men pity him.—Exchange, DOOR CANNOT . BE FORCED inventor Claims He Has Producea Lock That Can Defy Most Mod- ern of Burglars. A lock that cannot \ be jimmied has tong been the goal toward which lock- smiths have been striving. Many have been invented, but all have proved failures, because any bolt that shoots horizontally from door to jamb can be forced by a skillful burglar. A patent has recently been issued, however, for a lock in which the bolts drop perpen- dicularly into sockets and thus fasten the door just as it is hung upon its hinges. No burglar can jimmy a hinge. In the first place, the hinge is so situ- ated that it is out of sight and reach; In the second place, prying with a jim- my makes the hinge hold tighter. This is precisely what is claimed for this new lock. The illustration shows it open. When it is closed by turning the key the bolts go right through the sockets and penetrate nearly a guar- er of an inch into sockets on the body - -if the lock, as shown by the dottec. Ines. Outside the room nothing shows but a metal circle, and this is concave and countersunk, so that no jimm3 an get purchase. It is claimed that the more a burglar tries to pry at this lock the more firmly does it close the door. 'Millions in Pigs. The total value of the pig industry in Ireland increased from £6,887,000_ in 1905 to £8,116,000 in 1914. Bacon - curing is carried on by about fifty firms, employing approximately 3,000 hands, and Ireland exports about one - fifth of the total import of bacon to the United Kingdom. The Irish la- borer and his family grow more and more reluctant, a departmental corn- mitte states, to feed and look after pigs, the increased value of the re- turns from poultry and eggs inclining them rather to that source of income 'Small holders do the pig -raising. His Guess. \There's only one seat left for to- night, and that's behind a post,\ said :he man in the theater ticket office \How much is nr \Why two dollare.\ \What.'• the matter? Isn't the show worth seeing?\ Lowering Men on Stretchers Without Jarring Requires an Expert Hand. A hospital train had come in, a Brit' lab train. The twilight had deepened into night. Under the flickering are lamps, in that cold and dismal place (Boulogne), the train came to a quiet stop. Almost immediately it began to unload. Half way down the car a wide win- dow was opened and two tall lieuten- ants, with four orderlies, took their place outside. It was very silent. Or- ders were given in low tones. One by one the stretchers came; one by one they were added to the lengthening line that lay prone on the stone flooring beside the train. There was not a jar, not an unnecessary mo- tion. One great officer, very young, took the weight of the end as it came toward him, and lowered it with marvelous gentleness as the others took hold. He had a trick of the wrist that enabled him to reach up, take hold and lower the stretcher, without freeing his hands. He was marvel- ously strong, marvelously tender. The stretchers were laid out side by side. Their occupants did not speak or move. It was as if they had reached their limit of endurance. They lay with closed eyes or with impas- sive, upturned faces, swathed in their brown blankets against the chill. Here and there a knitted neck scarf had been loosely wrapped about a head. All over America women were knit- ting just such scarfs. And still the line grew. The car seemed inexhaustible of horrors. And still the young lieutenant with the ten- der hands and the strong wrists took the onus of the burdens, the muscles of his back swelling under his khaki tunic. If I were asked to typify the attitude of the British army and of the British people toward their wound- ed, I should point to that boy. Noth- ing that I know of in history can equal the care the English are taking of their wounded in this, the great war.—Mary Roberts Rinehart in the Saturday Evening Post. Mexico's Superb Cathedral. The Cathedral of Mexico was begun In 1573; but so marshy was the land that after 50 years of work, the wall was only 200 feet above ground, al- though the Spaniards had used the stones of the Aztec temple as their foundation. Two hundred years were necessary to complete the sacristy and chapel, for the cathedral is over 400 feet long; with height of 179 feet, not counting the tower, which measures 240 feet. Its magnificence of altar furnishings, with lamp before the sanctuary reputed to have cost $80,- 000, glittering with jewels; its dark cream walls and 14 chapels. suggest that Croesus rather than Cortez was the master builder. The architecture, hithe main, so •ot. c, th a av s use of Doric and Corinthian pilasters. Here are buried the remains of Itur- bide—the first emperor of Mexico, and also the head of the good padre, Hidalgo, who, in his own far away province, first rung his church bell to summon the people to overthrow Spanish rule in Mexico. Not always did this skull rest in the bosom of the church, for when Hidalgo was killed battling for liberty, the Spark lards hung his head on iron hooks, still to be seen, on the prison walls at Guanajuata. Crushed by Modern Conditions. Of all the modern world's strong- holds of machine -driven labor none can compare with Belfast and Glasgow to emphasize the truth of Ruskin's de- nunciation of inodern industrialism Ugliness and monotony are here the keynotes of life—great barracklike buildings, where the workers toil eternally in their day and night shifts; long rows of sordid cottages, smoke begrimed and hideous, where, in their long hours of ease, the men converge upon the corner saloons as their chief recreation and solace, while the wom- en pursue their trualit offspring in , all manner of unsavory haunts. One of the commonest and saddest sights of Belfast's .mean streets after work hours la a street corner group of girls from ten to twelve years of age; each carrying her younger brother or sis- ter tightly fastened to her by the ubiquitous shawl. Small wonder that under such conditions the mill hand woman has . hardened, that her fea- tures and her manners have lost the gentleness and grace , that should be woman's birthright. ' Poverty Does It. \Thomas Nelson Page, since he mar- ried a rich wife, hasn't written a line. Kipling practically stopped writing as soon as he accumulated a fortune. Sir James M. Barrie, once his plays made him wealthy, ceased grinding out any- thing except a one -act trifle per an- num. It's the same thing with Hall Caine, too.\ The speaker was Bryant Cullen, the English critic, editor and publishers' reader. He resumed: \Lack of cash -111 the one great cause of progress. The world moves —because, most likely, it can't pig the rent.\ • . Have No Time for Books. Apparently the output of war books has been as extensive on the other Y 4.0 ..... peep • jj Over twenty different publications were found on a stand outside a shop in the Boulevard des Italiens, and, Judging from the gloom of the propri- etor, none of them was selling partic- ularly well. Incidentally, the sale of novels had practically come to stand- still. HOLD SNAKES SACRED CHINESE HAVE DEEP REVERENCE FOR THE REPTILES. Spirit of the Dragon King, Which is Worshiped, Supposed to Reside Within Their Bodies—Rat Is Also Honored. It is not always safe to kill a snake in China. It doesn't matter much whether the snake is of the water species or of the land variety, for within this reptile's body is supposed to reside the spirit of what the yellow man worships as the dragon king This latter is believed by the average superstitious \John\ to have the pow- er of ruling over floods. This dragon king represents one symbol in the ritual of worship of the Chinese reli- gion called Taoism. China practically possessed three different forms of religion until the advent of the Christian missionaries. The first of these religions was in the form of .a philosophy. This still ex- ists to some extent and is known as Confucianism. The second form has been recognized as Buddhism, which still exists throughout China as Byrn- bolized in the worship of idols. As you travel through the country, here and there you will frequently run across idols of Buddha located on the hillsides or other quiet and segues' tered spots conducive to reverential reflection. Plenty of worshiPers yet pay their homage to these Buddhist idols, and you can see them conscien, tiously observing the formal ceremcs nies of their worship. But this form of religion is steadily dying a natural death since the advent of Christianity. The third variety of religious ob- servance among the Celestials is that of Taoism. This was started by an old patriarch named Lao-tgu, who had surrounding him a group of \eight immortals\ as his disciples. One of these latter was given the responsi- bility of representing the God of Bar- bers. The Taoist worshipers have temples erected in each native town. In these temples are pictures portray- ing the horrors of the future life. When the souls of the dead are buried across the river Styx the artist has painted a gruesome thought. Men and women are depicted as climbing tow- ering mountains of ice, only to fall back into a gaping abyss as they near- ly reach the top. As they fall their bodies are revealed as being caught upon spears and tossed backward and forward by deft executioners. These gruesome pictures show the sufferers to be finally ground up between mill- stones. Some of them show sharp swords slashing to pieces the bodies which have escaped the millstone process, and little dogs are pictured as running_after the sufferers, lapping u the blood. On certain occasions after a death the family will miceed in a body to these temples and will hold a public wail. On the drum tower of the Taoist temple at Tientsin it has been com- mon to see richly dressed native mer- chants kneeling to an iron pot con- taining incense burned in honor of his excellency the rat. Other similar dis- gusting procedures could be observed. It is hard to conceive that human be- ings can be so superstitious as to de- liberately endure such empty prac- tices of hallowed mockery. Yet this is one phase of China, the China of to- day. The few modernized Mongolians surely have their hands full in effec- tively combating this awful element of ignorance and bigoted superstition and in holding their newly organized republic to the main highway of progress. Air Tank Plays Valet. When the safety valve on the air tank of the launch Gladys stuck, Dyke Thorpe, who was snoozing on the deck, had all the clothes blown off his body by the explosion and was hurled naked but uninjured into the sea. So great was the force of the explosion that the heavy deck planes were torn up and the engine and cabin entirely demolished. .4 The Gladys, a seagoing launch, 35 feet long, is heavily constructed. The air tank which caused the damage is a small one used for compressing air to blow the siren. Nothing but the hulk of the boat wail left after the ex- plosion, and a rope being secured, the remains were towed ashore by Thorpe. Thorpe's companion, William Sou - der, who was in the cabin at the time of the explosion, was uninjured.—Loe Angeles Times. Apache Chief Dead. Magoosh, supposed to have been the only baldheaded Indian in the world, and the last otthe famous war chiefs of the Apaches, ninety years old, is dead. He had 20 wives In his time. in'srebruary, 1907, two of his wives died within a week of each other. Magoosh led his Indian braves at a 'dozen massacres and in scores of raids. His most serious defeat was at the hands of the Texas rangers, un- der Capt. Daniel W. Roberts, in 1875. The rangers scattered Magoosh's band After abandoning the warpath Ma- goosh was a good friend ot the white men. He made one trip to Washing- ton for a talk with the \Great White Father.\ and to his dving day delight- ed in telling his tribesmen of the won- ders he beheld on that journey.
