Tsssf Mlailatsr raa4 Wklla Looktag far a Vaiarcat Letter. Bangor. Me., Dispatch. "Don't you find something new in the Bible every time yon look into it?'' asked Calais lawyer of a preacher as they were seated together on a train coming into Bangor. "Every time," said the young min ister. "I never opened the book but I find some new food for thought, and speaking of food for thought, I must tell you what I found in the Bible last week," and the minister smiled a reg ular orthodox smile. "Yon see, a family moved to St. Stephen this fall, and the first Sunday they came to our church and I found they wanted to join na on a letter from their former church. I appointed a time to receive them and give the right hand of fellowship, but when the time came it had to be postponed because they could not find the letter from their former church. "The lsdy said she had mislaid the letter. I called at the house twice and they had not found it. "The lady said she was sure she had it laid away somewhere, but could not find it. I was anxious to get them into our church out of the cold, so I sug gested different places for them to hunt for it. "Finally, I saw a Bible on the table and I suggested that maybe they had it in the Bible. The lady said maybe, but if It wss in there it was lost, be' cause they never oould find anything in the Bible. "I took up the good book and opened it at the New Testament, and in the first chapter of Matthew I found a paper and opened it, the brother and sister looking over my shoulder. Open ing the paper, I was about to read it, when the lady said that was not the letter; it was only a recipe for making faoe powder. "I let up on that and turned over a few leaves, when I found an envelope, and opening; it I learned how to make mixed pickles. In Luke I struck pay dirt, turning up an old Confederate $10 bill, which was good for its face in two years after the acknowledgment of the Southern Confederacy. "There were a couple of long hair pins in Luke, also a piece of black court plaster. In Genesis I found a remedy for rheumatism, and a little further along was a formula for pre paring a gargle for sore throat, and over a leaf were two blocks all patched ready for a silk quilt, and the tail of several neckties. "When I opened on Deuteronomy I thought I had the letter. There was an envelope with something in it, and I opened it, but it wasn't a church let ter. It was ten shares of stock in the Bev. Mr. Jernegan's salt water gold mine at Lubeo, and on the back of the envelope was written in pencil, 'The greatest fraud on record!" "Deuteronomy . didn't pan out any more except a recipe for making a salve, but when I struck Leviticus there seem ed to be a grand field fpr research. There was a new white kid glove with the thumb half torn off, and a lock of curley hair which brough tears to the eyes of the brother and sister who were aiding me in the search, and I knew it was from the head of their darling who had been taken away from them. "On the next page was a recipe for making preserve of watermelon rinds, a root beer recipe , and a chromo from a tea store. "In Paul's Epistle to the Epheaians I ran on a recipe for making soft soap, and a clipping from an agricultural paper telling how to start a balky horse, besides a formula for an insect powder. ."The search was becoming interest ing. When I got to Chronicles new beauties were open to me, and I found a porous plsater and a photograph of Langtry. Proverbs contained a recipe for sauer kraut. "I tackled Bevelationa and after read ing a glowing account of how to wash fiannelsao they wouldn't shrink, we found the letter we were looking for in araenvelope with a prepared plaijj. So I have shown you that ht who searches the Scriptures, in the ordinary family Bible, will find much that will make him tired." SBICCBITT IN RAILWAY TBAVBL Btyaaaaatie rata Qalekly Relieve'.

'Anything, new on the subject of safety in railroad travel is likely to receive a great deal of attention these days," said an old railway offi cial in a recent conversa tion. In fact, the rail ways are pretty fully alive to the need of the situation, and some of the beat trained minds of the day are apendmg muoh time and thought in ef forts to perfect to a still higher degree the system of appliance now in use. "Take, for instance, a line like the Chicago dc North-Weatern," he con tinued, "where there are over seventeen hundred stations on the system, with a tributary population of more than seven and one half million people, reaching almost every community of importance in nine of the western States. Now, the question of thorough discipline of the big army of employes required on a road like that, is one that's enough to stun the average man. "Everyman of them, from the boiler maker's helper, heating rivets in a port able forge, to the flagman at a country highway crossing, must be trained and disciplined to that point where an error or omission in his duty is practically out of the question. With such train ing, ita no wonder some of our biggeat men are found in the railway ranka. They are men who can do thinga, and do them right when they're called on. "It ia a great thing, though," con tinued the veteran, "to see the way in which some of the western roada have not only kept pace with the growing traffic, but have looked ahead into the future and taken a wholesome grasp on this question of aafety, steadily expend ing millions of dollars in order to take care of these millions of Americana who travel over their line." "They tell me that on The North western Line they maintain no less than aiz hundred and ten electric block signals, one hundred and twenty-aix interlocking plants, over nine thousand miles of telegraph line, over forty thousand miles of wire and a force of seventeen hundred telegraph dispatch ers and operators in the movement of their traffic Beside thia there ia an army of crossing watchmen, operators of safety gates, signal-tower men, track walkers; in short, a highly organized system looking after the safety of pat rons. Their widely announced only doubletrack to the Missouri Birer ia one of the moat aggressive moves ever made by a railway, and one the bearing of which upon the question of safety ia obvious. After all, though, I place the great est dependence on that process of train' ine on western roada that keep the heads of departments in close touch with their men, require unceasing vigilance on the part of everyone con' cerned and results in a force brought op to the point of highest discipline. Thia training The North-Weatern and other roada cive their men ia a thing that nothing else can take the place of." WHAT THK WORLD DRINKS. manner la New York. Blew York Sun.

The conaumption of tea, coffee and alooholio beverage in the principal countries of the world ia presented in a table just prepared by the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, through it bureau of statistic. The figures ahow that the United Kingdom ia first in the consumption of tea; the United States, first in the conaumption of cof fee; Germany, first in the conaumption of beer; Russia, first in the conaump tion of whiskey and other distilled spirits; and France, first in the con aumption of wines. Statistic are pre sented relative to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Ger many, Russia, Spain, Italy, Austria Hungary, Portugal, Chile and Argen tina. ' Tea conaumption in the twelve coun-1 triea named aggregated in 1904, or the latest available year, over 510,000,000 pounds. Of thia the conaumption in the United Kingdom waa 256,500,000; Ruasia, 27,325,000; United States, 109, 800,000; Germany, 7,000,000; while in no other countrp for which these statis tics are available ia the annual con aumption as muoh aa 8,000,000 pounds; that of Austria-Hungary being 2,700, 000 pounds; France, less than 2,500,000 pounds; Chile, about 2,000,000 pounds; Argentina, 1,800,000; Spain, 333,000 pounds, and Italy, 115,500 pounds. Of coffee, the world's consumption ia approximately 2,250,000,000 pounds In this the Upited States as already indi cated, holds the first place, with a total conaumption in 1904 of 961,000,000 pounds; Germany second, 897,000,000; France, third, 168,000,000; Austria Hungary fifth, 108,700,000; Italy aixth, 39,000,000, and the United Kingdom aeventh, 29,500,000 pounds. In the other oountriea coffee conaumption ia a grat deal leaa. The statistics show the world's beer consumption to be 5,753,000 gallons annually; and the consumption of dis tilled liquors amount to 678,000,000 gallons annually.

Casea against Jonh L Casper, the big Winston distiller, which came up in the Federal Court at Greenboro last week, were compromised by authority of the internal revenue department, Casper getting out by paying about $9, 000. . In passing on the case Judge Boyd aaid he did not believe in thia way of.letling violators of law off by the simple payment of money, as a gener al proposition, for that meant that poor men would be imprisoned and rich men would go free of auch puniament, but in this case the revenue bureau had work i the case up and had charge of it, and a Federal statute gave the bureau the right of moneyed settlement of auch matters, and he waa not going to atand out against the department now acced ing their right under the statute to com promise and settle cases of the kind where revenue was the chief end in volved - Thia ia creditable to Judge Boyd. The Raleigh Newa and Observer com ments on the case and criticises Com missioner Yerkes for authorizing the compromise. - The principle ia wrong, of course, but unfortunately the prac tice ia not confined to revenue casea in the Federal Courts. It ia common in our State courts for men of means and influence o escape punishment by the payment of money. It will be recalled in thia connection that Gov. Aycock set the example, or at least fallowed the same rule, in the celebrated Mehaffey case from Catawba, in which Mehaffey was sjlowed to escape a term of seven years in the penitentiary by paying 13,- 000. Suppose he had been a poor man f How would he have paid the $3,000 1 So far as we can recall some of the pa pers that are now pointing with alarm to the Casper case said not a word about the Mehaffey case. They lacked the nerve to criticise the Governor. Take the records of the State courts and we will find thia thing of common occurrence ; and thousands of casea nev er get into the courts, because the in fluence of money and social position keeps them out. Mr. Dewey, who broke the New Barne bank, goes into court with United 8tates Senator, ex Gover nors and ex-judgea aa counsel and gets a continuance. If he is ever convicted and punished we shall be surprised. It ia high finance when somebody else doea big thinga with your money for himself - A women would rather be wrong and win the argument than right and lose it. O. Q. Rlobmond. Tho. W.
