SIMPLE LIBRARY TABLE. Can Be Built by the Handy ,¥ Man .or Boy. Tie cut shows & plan tor uniting library shelves and a table top in one article of furniture. A simple, sauare, box-like structure is made for the foundation, with shelves about the four sides. The top, which may be either a perfect circle, or an oval, is fastened directly to the shelves. The f&p is composed of two ISyers of thin boards, one being laid at Tight angles to the other, and firmly fas­ tened together by screws passing up through the lower layer into the up­ per, but not long enough to go through the latter. If desired, the edges of the lower layer can be bev­ eled backward and the top can pro­ ject jm inch over the lower layer of boards. This will give a lighter ap­ pearing top than the one shown in the cut. Pour round balls of wood, suggests Orange Judd Ffrmer, can serve Combined Bookcase and Table. feet, being held in place by screws' passing down through the lowest shelf. The upper boards of the top should be well' fitted at the joints and firmly glued. The lower Ityer of the top is put on first and firmly screwed to the shelves.

Perry, of Houston, Tex., assistant foreman of the shop, conceived the idea of an air vise. He accordingly made the device shown in the sketch. An old vise, A, in which the screw had become nearly worn out, was con­ nected to the air brake cylinder, B, In such a way that the air ente'ring (the cylinder brought the jaws of the •tse together.

Latter Is Called the Cornerstone of Modern Society. Machinery is the cornerstone of modern society, the very foundation on which law, science, ethics, the arts, even the state itself, rests. It is so new that we do not yet know its poetry. We do not yet understand. Only two generations have lived be­ side the highway of steam; only one has seen the 'Bessemer conver|er transform the blacksmith Into a master builder of ships and towers. The sewing machine, the far speaker^ the typewriter are common things of to-day, accepted as a matter of daily convenience, and yet a^p they teach­ ers of the people. Machines that come close to our lives and homes, says the Reader Magazine, insensibly teach truth, precision, the adjustment of universal laws to human needs, re­ spect for that wise American idea that labor saved is labor released for higher and nobler toil. The machine is the head master of the high school of the race. £ Illinois State News Recent Happenings of Interest in the Various Cities and Towns. NOT ENTITLED TO PROPERTY. Circuit Court Decides Against Edward1 Kinnear--Will Appeal. Decatur.--Edward Kinnear, suing for his share of the estate of his aunt, the late Mrs. Ann Beman, had an odd experience In- the circuit court when he was declared not entitled to the share which had passed to his . niece and nephew. Mrs. Beman was an eccentric char­ acter who maintained her old home place of ,40 acres until it wan ^sur­ rounded by th^icity's growth. When she died she left no direct heirs and the property had grown to enormous value. Kinnear had disappeared years ago, serving in the army and navy. In set­ tling the estate he was declared legai- lf* dead, having been absent seven yeaVs. Then a Decatur lawyer wrote to him, but he did not establish his claim within the year required by law. " When the case was finally decided the court ruled that although Kinnear was declared legally dead, he was alive, yet he was not entitled to his sh£|re of the property. The case will be appealed.

Look to America for Cotton. The cotton spinners of Lancashire, England, raised a commission of ex­ perts to visit all the cotton-growing lands of the world and investigate the industry. Their report has been made, and it is to the effect that the United States must continue the source of the main supply.

Beit things to Do When Caught III Burning Building. Chief Crocker, of the New York fire brigade, offers the following ad­ vice as to conduct In case of an out­ break of fire: "Keep cool; no matter how hot everything around you gets, retain a cool, calm equilibrium, and you'll come out all right. "Send in the alarm Immediately; do not take it for granted that some one else has rung up the fire de­ partment. "Fight the fire yourself before the firemen arrive. Very few fires, if dis­ covered at the outset are beyond tho control of the people on the premises, if only ijuick, intelligent action is taken. ^Fight the flames with pails of wat£r; smother them with rugs and blankets; beat them out with wet brooms. "Block the Bpread of fire. If the burning room or rooms can be shut off from the rest of the building, it will take considerable time for the fire to spread. Shut all doors, tran­ soms and windows opening on shafts, and, if possible, those to the exterior. By closing up the burning rooms you prevent draughts, and cut off a new supply of oxygen. The fire, after ex­ hausting the oxygen, will only smoul­ der. "Never ascend to the upper stories of a burning building. The upper are always the most dangerous. The smoke, superheated air and poisonous fumes which it is death to inhale, col­ lect first In the top of the house. Fire, spreading through a building, burns straight ta the rbof, usually by way of the haft and stairways, q.nd then, widening its course, eats back €o the stories below. The lower floors are the safest in time of fire. "Never try to climb up the stairs to the roof, and never open the scuttle. A hole through the roof to the open air would serve as a chimney, and magnify the conflagration almost in­ credibly. "Keep out of the halls. The safe way to await the arrival of the fire­ men Is in a room as low down in the building as you can get without risk of smoke-laden halls. Shut all doors and transoms in room in which you stay, and open the windows wide to keep the air cool and pure. If smoke breaks in, lean out of the windows. Be careful not to get excited, Und not to breathe in the hot, Bmoking at­ mosphere. * , Make your< way from the building if the fire is dangerous, and you can escape without braving too great heat, A wet towel held over the " mouth and nostrils will enable you to live in an otherwise deadly atmosphere. But unless the fire spreads into the room you are occupying it Is best to wait for outside help." Taylorville Grants Franchise. Taylorville.-- Mayor J. W.

Feminine Display Outdone by Duke of Buckingham. * Until the last century, in variety and magnificence, the human male followed the rule of the lower animals that the male shall predominate in brilliance. No woman has ever ruled through pure modishness; there has never been a feminine counter­ part of Beau Brummel. All varieties of exquisite are male, whether dandy, macaroni or beau--and not because lhey are exceptions to a general rule of sobriety, but'because of a superior originality and more forcible and dis­ tinguished expression. In the point of extravagance there never has been (until the |ast cen­ tury) any difference between . male and female costume. The duke of Buckingham took 27 suits of clothes to Paris in 1625, one of white uncut velvet set all over with diamonds, worth £14,000. He also wore a dia­ monded feather and diamond buttons and earrings. A curious fashion for men prevailed in 1612 x>t orfiarfientlng the ear with strings otMack velvet ribbon, also of placing a rose behind the ear. HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST FROI^ \ \ ALL OVER THE 8TATE. v Nason and the Air Brakes. ft was in the time of the old Bos ton & Providence railroad that air brakes were first introduced, but even then railroading was so little under­ stood that few men realized their im­ portance. Supt. Nason of the Boston & Provldencc was one of these, al­ though he had the reputation of being an eminently "practical" man. One day an agent of an air brake company was explaining to him the working of the main reservoir, but Nason could not seem to ge it through his head. "You say you pump air into it?" he inquired. "Yes," was the reply. "Well, ain't it full of air, anyhow; and how are you going to fill it any fuller? Think you can make a pail hold twice as much water by pouring more in? When a thing's full, it's full^ I know what I'm talking about.". Too Much Condeneed. R. Lincoln Lippitt at' a meeting of the American Automobile club was talking of a certain valuable but rare work oh automobiling. 'After trying to buy the book," said Mr. liippitt, "at every book seller's I could think of, I was told that I might perhaps get it at a certain library. They had it, sure enough, at this li­ brary, but it was. out. I tried again and it was out; again, and it was still out. "'When will 1 be able to get this book?' I said to the clerk at last In some Impatience. "I'm sure I don't know,' the clerk answered, airily. 'But we've got it, all right. It's In the catalogue.' " 'Yes,'said I, 'I know it Is, but In so condensed a form that I cant read if" • FIND PREHISTORIC RELIC3 Discovery of ° the Greatest Value*?' ! • Archaeologists Made Near Mom Sterling in Brown County. Quincy.--One of the richest and most wonderful prehistoric finds has just been made on what is known as ope of the Illinois river hills, mid­ way between Cooperstowp and the river, and .eight miles from Mount Sterling, Brown county. A curious res­ ident of the locality recently dug into an ancient mound on the farm of Mrs. M. ^rabtree and already the results of the exploration would make arch­ aeologists wonder. Thus far several skeletons eight feet long and several pieces of re* markable pottery, beads and curios implements have been taken out. The bones crumble Almost as soon as they are taken into the open air. They are so numerous that it is be­ lieved a prehistoric burying ground has been opened, greater In extent and more perfectly preserved than any hitherto discovered. Under the bones of each of the an­ cient dead were found pieces of pot- tery, beneath fragments of skull. Great vases were discovered, the largest of which would hold two gal­ lons. Under one skeleton was a cu­ rious bowl, in the center of which basin was the well-fashioned figure of a king seated upon a log, and it is thought that these bones may be those of a leader of the race that once ruled, this portion of the con­ tinent. Strangest of all the articles found with the bones were implements that are apparently shaped of bamboo, some cjf them evidently shaped for purposes of weaving. Countless beads of a strange material almost white, and possibly made from the best of potters' clay, were also unearthed. The soil of the mound has never before been disturbed and to this fact is attributed the marvelous pres­ ervation of the things unearthed. The mound is one of a series along the Illinois river hills which a noted archaeologist said would one day furnish a solution of the mystery of the mound builders.

NERVOUS COLLAPSE Otnklng Spells, Headaches Rheumatism all Yield to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 410 Ce­ dar street, Quincy, 111., says: "Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, I have had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. The doc* tor said n»y nerves were shattered. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the begin ii iTtg my strength would come back in a moderate time after eacb attack, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch. I hud dizzy feelings, palpita­ tion of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu­ matic pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was incurable " When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills my appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, luy nerves were quitted to a degree that I had not experienced for years and my strength returned. The fainting spells left me entirely after I had used the third box of the pills, and my friends say that I am looking better than I have done for the past fifteen years." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recom­ mended for diseases that come from im. poverished blood snch as anaemia, rheu­ matism, debility and disorders of the nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros­ tration and partial paralysis.
