When some months ago Miss

votnen of northern Ohio, offered the
eltltens of I'pper Sandusky a farm of
•40 acres near there the offer whs de
fltned The gift carried with It the
•ondltion that an orphans home b#
established and maintained at the ox
penst of ftanduskv The council did
not think the gift a profitable one
Wow the Wyandotte Oil companv, a
subsidiary of the Standard, has leAsed

Htevens The first well drilled proved
to be a gusher, and of eight w#-||s al

Mi s Stevens Is n#.w receiving in roy

good people of I'pper S.mduskx an
sorry they refused her gift «t |H est!
tnat«'d that the i ll would not only
have erected a i#nrntflc« nt orphans'

An Kngilsh writer. In discussing the
pnike nuisance, declaies that the la
bor it entails through the spreacl of
dust and soot the darkening of the
sky and the Injury of fabrics, fumi
ture arid other property are not the
chief evils A smoky atmosphere, he
says has a deleterious cff# ct on the
human oiganlsm and shows its !nn: 1
ence In nervous debility and a stunted
life, \ltalh mentally mid moially It
la most especially pioduithe of dls-
•*a*« s of the hromhlal I ti lies It is not
necessaiy to wait for patent smoke
consutiu rs he says, since almost
complete combustion can he obtained
h\ | roper stoking These statements
are not new. but cannot he too oftc n
repeat##! Since so many authorities
agree that smoke is Injurious to
health It w«uild s# #*rn that the enforce
ment of the smoke ordinance right
fully belongs to the department of
public health. This same lliltlsh
writer estimates that In lamdon 42
per cent, of the fuel used Is wasted by
careless firing If owners of cnlm-
neys could once he convinced of the
• itent of this whhiefulncss reform
would be more rapid as a matter ol
economy
Jesus tiarcia a Mexican and an en
gineer of a mining train on a railroad
down In Arizona, discovered while
standing st a little station the other
cIa* that some of his cars w#*re on fire
Among these cars were two loaded
with powder. Should he detach th#*
locomotive and take flight, leaving
the station and little settlement t#> be
blown up or not? He choae not to
do so. but. ordering the tiain crew off
opened the throttle wide and dashed
for the country When the explosion
came the train was far enough in the
country to save all li\es hut his own
He- sacrificed himself fc r the rest, this
unknown Mexican who did not know
that he was one of the noblest «>f
heroes And in spite of these almost
il'illy happenings, among obscure peo-
ple in the course of their ordinary
tasks, pessimists talk of modern de-
generacy Such critics, declares the
IndlanaiKilis Star, are slow to learn
that deeds of courage are not per
formed In these days by men in gay
trappings, waving swordb above their
heads.
Passing Confederate Money.
It seems strange that, more than 4ft
rears after the ctlvl war and with the
confederate states of America only a
memory, every now and then some
one turns up with a confederste bill
and finds no difficulty In passing It.
No properl) informed |*rson needs to
l e told that such hills represent the
\alue only of the pa|*r on which they
are printed, and as the quality of the
material then obtslnable was not of
the be*t that value may lie counted as
a negligible quantity. It Is astonish
inn that snyone tan be decaived in
this way. for the confederate notes In
their best estate are so widely differ-
ent and so inferior In app#arance coin
pared to any cf the currency of the
present time that suspicion should he
aroused in th# n nd of the least wary.
