VOL. XXI. Cheatham Scores Head of the Agricultural Department. COTTON REPORT A FRAUD No Necessity Existed for Statistics Issued the Past Week, When "Condition" of Crop is Beyond Any Possibility of Calculation. Richard Cheatam of Atlanta, Ga., secretary of the Southern Cotton Association, and who uncovered the disclosures being made in the government cotton crop reports, whereby officials and speculators were using advance information to bull or bear the cotton market, is quoted by the New York Herald as having severely criticized the report of the cotton crop issued Friday from Washington, in which the condition of the crop or November 1 was stated to be 68.8. "The most absurd piece of spite work ever attempted was the issuing of the crop report Friday by Mr. Wilson, the secretary of agriculture. In this report he announced the condition at 08.8. Now, there is no sane man who ever saw a cotton stalk who does not know that on November 1 and November 10 it is not only far beyond the fruiting or bearing stage, but in nearly every case is entirely void of follage of every kind. "It has passed far beyond the increasing stage. Its condition, so far as conditions are recognized in reports, is the same as on October 1 reviously. For Secretary Wilson to make a report on 'condition' of November 1 is to assist in the operation of the bear speculators to hammer the price of cotton down. "I say to Mr. Wilson: 'Shame, shame, shame!' on him, and the men who assisted him in this attempt at spite work against the cotton producers of the south. It is a final effort to 'get even,' and the attempt will result in sure discomfiture for the department of agriculture before the session of the next congress is far advanced. That there will be an investigation of this department by congress and an uncovering of matters now concealed, by which all previous disclosures will pale into insignificance, I do not for an instant doubt. The Southern Cotton Association in its bulletin of the crop assued on October 31 estimated the crop for 1905 at 9,446,341 bales, a smaller production than Friday's estimate of 68.3 would promise. SIX YEARS FOR CUNLIFFE. Adams Express Robber Receives Sentence In Pittsburgh Court. Edward G. Cunliffe, the express money clerk, who, on October 9, stole $101,000 from the Adams Express company agency in Pittsburg, Pa., and whose flight and capture ten days later attracted attention of the entire country, was sentenced by Judge Jas. R. McFarlane in criminal court Saturday to two terms of three years in the western penitentiary and two fines of $100 each and all costs of the prosecution on two charges of larceny, making a total term of six years' imprisonment. When the prisoner was asked if he had anything to say Cunliffe replied: "All I can ask is a little clemency for the sake of my poor family and folks. I was never before in any trouble and have always been honest and upright, with a good disposition and used my best efforts in the interests of the company. I don't know what impelled me to take the money. Five minutes after it was in my possession I would gladly have put it back. I have always lived an upright life and do not know what possessed me to take the money." When asked by the judge as to the whereabouts of the rest of the money he said: "I know no more about it than any other man in this court." Powers Practically Agree to Accept Invitation of Czar Nicholas. Practically all the powers have now accepted the invitation of Emperor Nicholas to be represented at the second peace conference, and the program which Russia will submit for the consideration of the delegates at The Hague is being elaborated at the foreign office. The date of the conference has been definitely fixed for May next. TO-AID PRINTERS' FIGHT American Federation of Labor Levies Assessment on Members to Help Out Eight-Hour Contest. The second day's session of the American Federation of Labor convention at Pittsburgh, Pa., was called to order promptly at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning by President Gompers. He called John Mitchell, second vice president, to the chair, and James Duncan, first vice president, read the annual report of the executive council. It gave in detail many of the points covered in the reports of the president, secretary and treasurer. In the matter of the protection of children the executive council had bills introduced in the legislatures of many states, particularly in the south, prohibiting the employment of children in mills, factories, mines and industrial establishments. Some progress was made, but results during the year were not entirely satisfactory. President Gompers was authorized to enlist the assistance, of other organizations in securing the passage of legislation in all states prohibiting the employment of child labor. An assessment of 1 cent a member a week, for a period of four weeks, was levied on the entire membership o the federation for the benefit of the International Typographical Union of North America in its efforts to establish an eight hour work day in the job and commercial printing establishments in the United States and Canada. The Typographical Union has levied a substantial assessment for that purpose, and all organizations are urged to render assistance to the printers in their efforts to establish the eight-hour day by January 1, 1906. The question of immigration was given consideration by the executive committee. It was shown that over a million foreigners reached these shores last year and that there would be no decrease in the number this year. It was recommended that the foreign element be organized. Will Not Take Place In Savannah Until After January 1. The trial of Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the river and harbor contract given out under the supervision of former Captain O. M. Carter, engineer officer in charge of the Savannah district at the time, will not take place until after January 1 next. This developed at Savannah Tuesday when the federal court of the southern district of Georgia was convened by Judge Speer. There were assignments of the civil docket, the criminal not being touched at all. It will not be until January, when Judge Speer will reconvene his court after recess to be taken Saturday. No allusion was made to the celebrated case of Greene and Gaynor during the day's session. Greene and Gaynor are still in the Savannah jail, and there will be no efforts made to secure their release on ball. TO SPITE HIS MOTHER. Thirteen-Year-Old Boy Deliberately Burns His Little Brother to Death. At Chillothee, Ohio, David Gillwater, 13 years of age, who was taken into custody following the death of his younger brother, Arthur, who was burned to death, confessed that he had burned his brother to spite his mother. David said that, he had a stick in the fire making a torch of it and caught Arthur and set his clothing on fire. Arthur's body was burned to a crisp. Hot Time In Vladivostok. A state of war has been declared in Vladivostok. Private advices say that the Chinese quarter has been entirely destroyed, but that the uprising is now under control.. NEW TROUBLE FACES CZAR. Workingmen to Secure Eight Hours Workingmen to Secure Eight-Hour Day by Revolutionary Means. A St. Petersburg dispatch, under Wednesday's date, says: Russia is on the brink of another general strike. The council of workmen's delegates, in accordance with the program of the social democrats, at a meeting Wednesday night, resolved to obtain a working day of eight hours by revolutionary means, if necessary. All employers are determined to oppose the demand, and the situation is critical. BOOST IN COTTON FARMERS URGED TO HOLD Conditions Point to Maximum Crop of Only, Ten, Million Bales and Fifteen Cents is Logical Price, Fifteen-cent cotton is now the slogan of the Southern Cotton Association. The recent report of the United States department of agriculture strongly supports the information which the association has gathered from its many correspondents throughout the south, and all of this goes to show that the maximum crop this year will be 10,000,000 bales. Based on these facts, President Harvie Jordon of the cotton association declares the remainder of the crop should not be sold for less than 15 cents. This he states will put the entire crop into the hands of the spinners at an average price of 12 cents. President Jordan says: "The open declaration of Hon. Jas Wilson, secretary of agriculture, in an interview published in the Washington Post on Monday that the recent condition report of 68.8, published by his department, 'is accurate and trustworthy' and 'which shows that the year's crop will be in the neighborhood of only 10,000,000 bales, should knock out all the high estimate people, and put everybody down on the working basis of a short crop. "It is gratifying to know that Secretary Wilson's estimate of the cropion reports made to his department corresponds so nearly with that of the Southern Cotton Association. Add the linters and city crop to our association's recent estimate of 9,441,000 bales, and we have a crop in the 'neighborhood of 10,000,000.' Secretary Wilson's estimate forecasts the department figures for December 3, as there can be no change for the better during the next fifteen days. "As we now have the most accurate information from the two most authentic and reliable sources that this crop will be about 10,000,000 bales, inclusive of short and long staple, it is unquestionable that the balance of the crop remaining in the hands of the planters should not be marketed for less than 15 cents. This would average the crop to the spinners at about 12 cents, and that price is not high, considering the present abnormally high prices and unprece donted demand for cotton goods. "I shall, therefore, issue at once a proclamation to the planters and holders of spot cotton in the south to stand firm for 15 cents and follow this up with the most active campaign yet undertaken by the association throughout the entire cotton belt. My recent investigation among the spinners' supplies, jobbers' scarcity of cotton goods and the now confirmed shortage of the crop from all reliable and trustworthy sources lead me to take this action, and I want the active co-operation of every one in favor of higher prices." Proposed to Be Erected in Arlington Cemetery at Washington. Plans for the raising of funds to erect a monument in Arlington cemetery at Washington to the confederate dead are to be formulated by a joint committee from every confederate organization in the district of Columbia, at a meeting for that purpose to be held shortly. The cost of the construction and erection will be placed at between $15,000 and $20,000, to which fund it is proposed to ask contributions from all confederate societies of the south. President of New York Life Asked to Recall Lawyer Hamilton. John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, was called before the Armstrong committee of insurance investigation on Monday and peremptorily ordered by that committee to demand the return from Europe to this country of Andrew Hamilton, the lawyer who has charge of legislative matters for the New York Life. McCall, was further ordered to demand an accounting from Hamilton. LAWYERS NOT NEEDED. Plea of Guilty Brings Trial of Negro Ravisher to Quick Termination in Atlanta Criminal Court. In the Fulton county superior court, at Atlanta Monday morning, Jim Walker, alias Will Brice, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Alice Moore, at Brookwood, on Thursday, October 26, voluntarily pleaded guilty to the charge, and Judge Roan sentenced him to be hanged on the morning of December 8, next. The plea of guilty came as a surprise to all except the counsel representing the negro. Each of the counsel for the defendant made a statement, in which the story was told of the negro's confession and his determination to plead guilty. To this was added the further statement that counsel did not think it their duty to go into a trial and make the good woman, who was the victim of the negro's crime, humiliate herself by telling the story in court. The scene was one of the most dramatic ever witnessed in the criminal courts of Atlanta. Through it all the woman who had been the victim of the crime sat on the opposite side of a table from her assailant and near her side sat the white-haired man and husband whose home had been desecrated and who had been law abiding enough to help save the criminal from the hands of a mob. Judge William R. Hammond, Judge Howard Van Epps, and Judge George Hillyer, who represented the negro upon appointment by the court, told how the negro had confessed and insisted upon pleading guilty. They spoke of how they agreed to pay all the expenses of getting evidence and bringing witnesses to the state for the accused; they told how they had done their full duty by their client, and how at last, they had decided that a trial was not necessary. Then they pleaded for as much time as possible to allow the negro to prepare his soul to meet its God when he made his last plea at the higher tribunal of the final judgment. Last of all came a plea from Judge Hillyer asking that there be no private vengeance, and that when the law was executed the law alone be permitted to take such vengeance as the crime mérited. In this he had reference to a promise made by Sheriff Nelms that the husband of the negro's victim should spring the trap at the execution. Judge Roan spoke to the negro after the plea of guilty, and asked him if he had anything further to say. The prisoner merely shook his head and replied: "Nothing." Judge Roan spoke of the terrible crime, and stated that the attorneys for the defense had done all within their power to save the defendant if he had been innocent. Later, when he pronounced the sentence of death, Judge Roan paid a tribute to Sheriff Nelms and his officers, who had saved Walker from the hands of the mob. DUNNE MAKES ANOTHER MOVE. Chicago Mayor Has Three Plans to Sacrifice Municipal Ownership. Another ordinance providing for steps to secure municipal ownership of the street railways in Chicago was submitted to the city council Monday night by Mayor Dunne. The ordinance was accompanied by a message to the aldermen, which gave three ways in which Mayor Dunne asserts he will be able to bring about municipal ownership. The first plan is by reaching an agreement with the traction companies by which their property would be transferred to the city, at a price to be decided upon by arbitrators. The second is by condemnation of the property of the street railway companies under the provisions of the Mueller act. The third method is the one which the mayor has already presented as an alternative to his contract plan: It is for the construction of municipal street railway lines, which will parallel the lines of the existing companies. Three Cases Under Treatment in the Hospital Dr. Gulteras in Charge. An examination at Havana Saturday of a Spaniard who is ill in one of the city hospitals, developed the fact that he had yellow fever. This makes three cases so far under treatment. Dr. Gulteras, who is in charge of the yellow fever hospital, is very hopeful that the spread of the fever will be checked. The health authorities say they are certain that the disease entered Havana in a mild form from the United States and Mexico. WAS A CONSPIRACY Hyde Makes Sensational Disclosures Arient Equitable. Declares Frick and Harriman Planned to Destroy Society by Throwing A. New York special says: James Hazen, Hyde, former vice president of the Equitable, was on the stand before the legislative insurance investigating committee for the first time Tuesday, and gave testimony which abounded in sensational statements. Charges that H. O. Frick and E. H. Harriman entered into a conspiracy to deprive him of his rights and get control of the Equitable in order that they might destroy it, and that Harriman advised him at the time of Governor Odell's suit to give Odell anything he wanted, lest the then governor should retaliate through the legislature, were the features of the day. Mr. Hyde cleared up the matter of the $855,000 loan of the Mercantile Trust company, saying that Mr. Alexander incurred it for the purpose of buying up stock of the company, setting objectionable suits, and for campaign contributions. This contribution was the one to the last campaign, and was asked by Mr. Frick, who suggested it for the benefit of the society. To procure this money Mr. Alexander had Mr. Hyde write a letter to the president of the Mercantile Trust company, and this letter practically placed him in the position of guarantor. Later, when the settlement of the loan was forced, Mr. Alexander and Mr. Jordan raised all they could toward it. The stock purchased with part of the loan was sold to Thomas F. Ryan for $212,000, and the balance, $212,500, Mr. Hyde paid personally. He did this because he understood that Mr. Alexander was, financially embarrassed, and in a bitter tone, said: "Notwithstanding the strained relations with these two gentlemen (Alexander and Jordan), I felt bound to see that the debt was liquidated by reason of the letter Mr. Alexander extracted from me." Mr. Hyde said that he first received a salary of $20,000, seven years ago. In 1902, when he became chairman of the financial committee, this was advanced to $75,000, and in 1902 it was advanced to $100,000, at which it remained until he resigned as vice president of the society. Mr. Hyde presented a statement showing that in the seven years of his connection with the Equitable Life and the allied corporations his average income has been only a little more than $28,000 a year. This was gured as seven years' salary from the Equitable, amounting to $435,000, from which he deducted his losses in syndicate transactions, amounting to $28,615, and the $212,500 paid on the $685,000 loan, which left a balance of $193,884, or an average annual income of $27,697, to which was added the average income from his offices in the trust companies, or $10,500. Witness said he presented this statement to show that he had been misrepresented. The syndicate operations of J. H. Hyde and associates were gone into very thoroughly, and it was shown that in twenty-three syndicates Mr. Hyde sustained personal losses of $28.615. Mr. Hyde ascribed the apportionment of the Equitable allotment of bonds in syndicates to officers of the Equitable Life to the customs and usages of Wall street. The appointment of the Frick committee was gone into, and Mr. Hyde said: "Mr. Harriman led me to believe, through a mutual friend, that the reports of that committee would be very friendly to me, and he did everything he could do to dissuade me from selling my stock, at the same time doing everything on that committee to knife me and destroy the value of that stock." Mr. Hyde attention was called to the seriousness of these statements, and he replied that he had spent many bleeps nights and long days reflecting on them, and he made this statement as a matter of reflection and conclusion. Mr. Hyde said that the Frick committee injured him because he did not think the investigation nor the report was in all details fair. Raid by Police Unearths Whole Malpractice In Private Hospitals Aftermath of "Suit Case." At Boston Saturday afternoon twenty detectives made a sensational descent upon five offices on Tremont street, where it is alleged illegal operations have been performed on an extensive scale, and, although the raid did not result in any arrests, the police found considerable material which they think will aid them in the future. In each place a photograph was taken of the rooms and of the instruments found. Hundreds of people blocked traffic on Tremont street during the raids, and for hours afterwards the impression was general that another girl, had met death in one of the hospitals, and that the police had caught the criminals. The action of the police was the result of the disclosures which have come to light recently in connection with the death of Susanna Geary, the victim of the suit case tragedy, whose death followed an illegal operation alleged to have been performed in the office of Mrs. Dr. Jane Bishop, and the more recent operation performed on Iola Reed, a 15-year-old girl of West Newfield, Maine. Although five places were entered by the police during the day, the work will be continued next week, the authorities having information in their possession indicating that the business is being conducted on such a large scale that it has become alarming. Their information also indicates that Boston has become headquarters for these illegal practitioners, who bring their patients from all parts of the country. Latest Returns from Last Week's State Election in Ohio. Practically completely returns on the entire Ohio state ticket show all the republican candidates except for governor, have been elected by substantial pluralities. Both parties continue to claim a majority in both branches of the legislature. The majority in either branch will be very small, probably not more than two or three for the party that controls. TRIPLE LYNCHING IN TEXAS. Mob Hangs Three Negroes Charged With Members of Welfare With Murder of White Farmer. A mob of 200 men broke into the fall at Henderson, Tex., and overpowering the officers took therefrom John Reece, Robert Askew and one other negro, and hung them in the public square. The negroes were arrested with two others a few days ago for the murder of a farmer. The other negroes who not molested, members of the mob claiming they were only accomplices. GLADDEN REVERSES HIMSELF. Says Controversy Over "Tainted Money" Is Definitely Settled. Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, moderator of the Congregational churches of the United States, announced from his pulpit at Columbus, Ohio, Sunday, that controversy over "tainted money" has been definitely settled so far as the Congregational church is concerned, and "that there need be no fear that moral issues will be raised hereafter in the solicitation of money." Result of Virginia Election. Complete unofficial returns from the recent state election in Virginia show that the republicans elected only 18 members of the general assembly. All of the remaining 122 members, of the assembly are straight democrats. A meeting of the Jewish people has been called in Montgomery, Alabama, to express indignation at the treatment of the Jews in Russia, and raise money to aid them. POLES TO STRIKE FOR FREEDOM. Move for Autonomy Causes Financial Panic in St. Petersburg The formal proclamation of martial law throughout Russian Poland and the promulgation of the government's intention to suppress the Polish movement to secure autonomy almost created a panic on the course in St. Petersburg Monday, imperial fours again falling to 26. Private and reliable reports from Warsaw say that all the parties there are joining in the nationalist movement, following the tactics of Bismarck for a complete strike.

FaDaT, NOVEMBER 18, 1905. mest‘Sons of Clarismen” is a Bol “organization perfected by some thoughtless white men in ‘Alabama, ‘They are being infln- “enced by Tom Dixon, who is .doiig more to renew strife ‘among the-races than any other ‘agency.~ ‘Oyz of the main purposes of .Somepeople is to paint the color- ,ed nan as black as possible.

Even in cases where a colored and white man are concerned, -the oolored man in every in- -atance' is made the aggressor. - How strange. ‘Wrrntn the past two weeks Atlanta nearly went into a-fren- zy about the assault of Mrs. Moore by a colored man named Walker. The accused was final. ly captured and given able law- yerstodefend him. At the trial he plead guilty, At first we were constrained to believe that he was influenced to do go but up- on reading his confession it is ‘plainly seen that he is insane. ere is no doubt abont his guilt, but there is grave doubt about his saneness. It is believed that he should meet the fate that his crime calls for, yet his insane condition ougiit be considered and heshould be given life im- prisonment. His lawyers should take this matter up with the governor and ask for this much for the poor devil. Doveine the week two thous- and dollars was given Chatham Gonnty from the fund derived from the hireing of convicts. By the action of the grand jury in many counties this fund is given -for school purposes, and justly too. Along this line the atten- tion of the authorities in this - county is respectfally called to the condition 6f the colored children There are thousands of them of school age who are unable to secure a seat 1m the public schools with no facilities under contemplation for their betterment. It would be a good idea to appropriate this amount towards purchasing a suitable f ground where a commo- balding can be erected. idea should be taken up by who are interested in the rand pushed for whatitis “worth. Toe TRIsuneE has shown the way—who will follow and take up the lead? Ir makes us tired, to use a common phrase, to hear those of the opposite race continuously harping about the amount of tax they have to pay to support the colored man. To prove how unjust this is a person has only to thinka little. It is admitted that compared with the white man the colored.man owns but : little property and pays his tax accordingly, but while he does not own 80 much property, yet he has made it possible tor the white man to own and maintain jwhat he has. More than one half of the renters in the city are colored people. Because of this fact the white property owners are able to maintain their prop: erty and pay their tax, hence while the colored man is not a direct tax payer, he does so in- directly, and is a big supporter of the government. He isa factor inanother way because he isa consumer which is also a direct cause for the big bank clearings that Savannah enjoys. If it was possible for all, or even just half of the colored population to leave Savannah, in less than a year the entire city would go into bankruptcy, and yet he is not given erédit for the benefit that e is to the city. The condition that prevails here is the same in other communities and too in proportion with the population. . Ly one‘of its issues last weék, .the Morning News. attempted to stead-our people a lesson on their :thrif{lessness, and spoke of the cemployment of foreigners in Geir stead. Thoe‘charge is un- sounded seepecially: so.far as this ‘sopmunity.is concerned. Here 2 here Jou may seéa chronic : ‘whichfeyery’ race pos- i it son the, whole “our, 3 oan nob, ‘be.

If it is neces sary to bring in foreigners, itis not becausé. our men will not work, but because there may be aplenty of work and pressing need for more laborers. Another hue snd cy is being made abont our people leaving the rural districts and flocking to the cities and towns, but the causé of it is never given by those who are always harping about it. In the rurai districts in ninely cases out of a hundred, much advantage is taken of our people from a business stand- point and otherwise. They have no protection from the officers of the law and to cap ‘the whole matter, the school facilities are so meagre thatambitious parents are compelled to seek other localities for the benefit of their children. No person with an ounce.of reasoning can for a mo- ment blame these people for leav- ing localities where they are thusly treated. This treatment is the cause of the lack of farm help, and if the same-treatment is accorded the foreigners they will never stand it as has the colored people, and there would be riot and bloodshed instead. Ifthe whitemen in the rural districts would treat the colored man fairly, cease taking advan- tage of him and protect him in law, there will be little cause to look for farm help. The colored man, is the lopteal help- er in the South, and the least enconragement that is given him will cause him to render un- surpassable service. Dance Halls. From the Georgia Baptist, the successful crusade of the colored citizens against dance halls in that city was reported last week. The movement was inaugarated by atimely address and call to duty by the intrepid Miss Lucy Laney, whom Savannah admire so very much. The result of which was the passing of an or- dinance by the city council ayainst those dens or crime. ‘hat has been done by the col- ored citizens of Augusta should also be accomplished here. Cer- tain sections of our city are dotted with these places of in- famy called ‘free and easies,” “fonks,’? eto. These places are generally’frequented. by a num ber of young girls and boys who are thereby ruinéd. These places are the breeders of the most heinous crimes and vices. An organized crusade should begin to indice city council to break up such places. In the city there are two organizations among the ministers ; can’t they do this much for the people and lead in the crusade ?

Hence, in speaking of the clearcut, philosophic and Toreetul editorial of your last issue, I feel that it Is but duty to again call attention to its wis dom and succinctness. - There can be no doubt in the minds of the most skeptical, but that the Negro is misjudged if they -but give the matter of therace’s progress a moment of candid consideration. \Therefore, snap judgment of the many, based upon evidence gleaned from the femis as unjust as it is distant from a reasonable generalization. It is too patent to admit of question, and your edi- torlal argued beantifully this fact, that it is not the thrifty and provident among us who-are seen constantly upon the streets in idleness: and this fact is as well known to the Southern whites as to the Negroes themselves, ‘There are, rifts and waifs of all races, and I am unable to see why itis that this class of,Negroes appeal; more strongly to and draw more signally upon the venom tank of critics, than those of eny other race; for “All kinds of weather, taken to- gether, make up a year and a sphere,” and classes and conditions of humanity make ‘upon a race, In the jungles of the ‘‘Okefenokee swamp,” duriog all séasons of the year there may be found staguant lagoons of water.

Now, it would be strictly contrary toa profundity ofqlogié and a reasonable geaeralization to contend that all the wa- ters of this swamp are bad pools of water because stagnant, filmy pools of water’can be found ia the vicinity of the crystal flowing stream.

During the milks ‘the cow ap- peared restless, moving her position ‘frequently. As the beast moved_ the girl followed, and once she supposed that her ankle bad become entangled in the rope by which the cow had been picketed. Butas the cow became quiet the “girl went’ on with the milking without attempting to release herself. Presently she looked in her pail, and ‘was astonished that such a small quan- tity was there. From this point we quote the Dispateh’s story: “Wearing that the pail had sprung a .Jeak she Jooked full into it and attempted to raise it, when she was horrifled by the discovery that a monster snake had ‘Sts head in the pall, the weight of the | reptile making it difficult to raise the ‘pail from the ground. The snake evi- dently had been drinking the milk | about as fast as it poured into the pail. Greatly frightened: by the dis- covery, Miss Czerney gave m scream, ‘sprang to her feet, and mnde a dash for her home. But she liad taken only a few steps when she made the for- ther discovery that Instead of her an- kle being entangled in the pleket rope, it wa the snake which was entwined around her ankle. The reptile was coiled so tightly and was of such weight that the young woman was thrown violently to the ground. Fi- nally, gaining her freedom from the monster, which she was able to shake off only after superhuman efforts, sh¢ continued her flight toward home.

C. Barr, wife of « physician in Alton, were chased by two gray wolves on a recent morn- ing. The young women were driving ina buggy, and they kept the wolves at bay with a whip and a walking stick. The brutes attacked the horse, cutting it deeply In both flanks. A party of merchants and farmers from Goilfrey and Alton has started out in- tent on killing the wolves. Both Miss Coppinger and Mrs. Barr were on the verge of prostration when their‘horse, driven by terror, galloped into the main street of Godfrey. They ‘were taken fainting from the buggy, and as they were unable for some tine to tell a coherent story it was thonght that they had heen attacked by tramps or highwaymen. Mrs. Barr was the first to be restored to full conscious: ness, and she told the following story: “Mise Coppinger saw them first. We were driving along slowly, as it was yery’ dark and our lamp had flickered out. ‘There's something renning along Debind the buggy,’ sald Salle. ‘Where: ‘Right theret Look: Over the side!

Bird Rock lies ont toward Newfound- land and Labrador, twenty-two miles from Grosse Island. There is only one possible landing plate under the tre- mendous cliffs; a pile of jagged rocks which have fallen down. Oftentimes, for weeks, writes Mr. Job in “Wild Wings,” there is no interval when it 4s possible elther to, land or to launch 2 boat. To this island Mr. Job sailed in a seventeen-foot open lobster boat; ac- companied by a young native sailor. It was half past 9, under the last fading rays of theday and the sllvery light of the weleome moon, when the great, stately cliffs at last towered above us, and the sea birds screamed and issued forth to meet us in clouds of ghostly forms. 7 A form hurried down the ladder, and 'a lantern waved from the pile of rocks, ‘signaling to us where to make the ven- ture, Calm as was the sca outside, somo surf was rolling Jn upon the ledges. We must run the gauntlet or take our chances; there could be no backing out now. A sudden concussion almost ‘threw us off our foct; we bad struck a submerged rock, Then a following wave pleked us up’ and hurled us against the pile. We leaped out and held the boat against the undertow, and with mighty efforts, helped by suc- ceeding waves, got it up a few feet farther. 5 ‘The keeper from abore was lowering the cable by a steam winch.

It is, course, herring rather than sardines which are put up in large quantities imprefitly embellished boxes for the consumption of the hungry, but by courtesy these are called sardines. It is gratifying to note, the outlook for a prosperous season in the sardine industry. The scene in a sardine factory, especially when fish are plenty, is a very interesting and lively one. When the fish are received from the smack the "toot, foot," of the steam whistles of the factories heralds the tidings that there is, work ahead and summon the employees to the factories. Each factory has its own whistle, so that the employees are not called out on fruitless or fishless errands. Immense tubs bear the fish from the smacks, the hoisting being done by steam power and then the fish are carried to the cutting rooms and laid out on long tables, or benches and are immediately attacked by the cutters, who have sharp knives, in the use of which they are very dexterous. There is a flash and then another, and the fish has been beheaded and the entrails removed. The cutting is done with great rapidity, for the work is paid by the speed, and the greater the speed the latter is the pay envelope on pay day. Next comes the washing of the fish, which is done in large tanks which are filled with sea water. After this bath comes another, this time the fish being kept for a quarter to half an hour in tubs filled with strong brine. From this they come by the basketful and the girls and women place them on iron flakes and carry them to the big ovens. These women need to be strong, for it is no light work to handle the heavy flakes when loaded with fish. The women receive five cents for every ten flakes filled, and can make from $20 to $30 a week if fish are plentiful. Arriving at the oven, the fish are placed in a slowly revolving shaft and such is the intense heat of the oven that but one revolution of the shaft, occupying about five minutes, is required for the cooking of the fish. These are now ready to be put in the oats and are carried to the packing room for this purpose. Some of the fish are packed in cottonseed oil and some in mustard. The oil has already been placed in the cans when the fish are put in, so that the can is ready for the sealers in a jiffy. The cover of the can having been put on, the can is passed along to the sealers, who are seated on either side of long tables on which at short intervals are stoves for heating the soldering coppers. These produce a very hot flame and it seems to be no trick at all for the sealer to seal the can. The cans then come to the test bath, where they are immersed in boiling water and kept for two hours. Care the examination follows and all leaky cans are rejected. About the most interesting feature of the business to watch is the manufacture of the cans. The Seacoast Company has a canning plant at North Lubec which turns out all the cans necessary for the use of the company in its many factories. This is no light task, and the 200 hands employed at the canning plant are kept on the jump all the time. The plant has a capacity of 400,000 cans a day, and that is a good many cans if one stops to consider the matter. Two sizes of cans are being made, but the process is the same. The tin which is to be converted into boxes for the imprisonment of the herring is taken in sheets 13 1/2 inches by 20 (this has already been decorated) and the edge having been dipped in solder, is fed to a knife which cuts it into strips of the size required. The machine which does the cutting is called a gang slitter. The strip then goes to the lock steamer, where it is locked into a square and then goes to hite dangers, where one end is turned in and one out for the double seam cover and for the key cover, for the Sea-coast Company equip their cans with a key cover so that the box may be readily opened. The partially made box now has a passage through the tinning machine, to sweat the key cover, and then through a similar machine to sweat on the key end. The box is now complete except for the testing, and it is run into a bath, where its passage is carefully watched by girl to see that there are no leaks. It then passes through a conveyor into another room, where the boxes are hastily packed in wooden cases by some boys, who work with a rapidity that makes the head of the watcher fairly swim. Tildeen wooden cases are made in the building, there being five of the box machines which put the boxes together, with a little human assistance. There is a vast amount of machinery in the canning plant, and indeed some of the apparatus seems almost human in its intelligence. Still, the machinery, or rather other machinery operated at a distance, has caused a wall of woe in Eastport and Vienna. The Seacoast Company put in this plant a year ago, and employing some 200 hands at the canning plant did not, seem to reduce the amount of human labor so greatly this season, however, some of the large canners are purchasing their cans away, with the result that in Eastport it is claimed that the machine made cans introduced in the past two years have thrown some 2000 people out of employment, who formerly received an average weekly wage of $15, a reduction in the payroll which is naturally being greatly felt in that city. The amount of male labor has been reduced. The work of making the cans by hand called for male labor almost exclusively, whereas there are many other departments in the industry in which female help is considered fully as capable and in some instances better. It has been found that no combination can be made which can entirely control the trade. There will always be independent packers, and while during the first of the season a large consolidated concern with a large amount of capital could control the catch of fish by paying high prices for the same, when it comes to the middle of the season there will be more fish on the market, than any one concern can handle, and in fact a much larger supply than there is a demand for. Then it is that the independents can get their supply of fish, if at no other time, and can get enough so that the larger consolidated company cannot control the price.—New England Grocer. DON'T WASTE MURDERERS' LIVES. DON'T WASTE MURDERERS' LIVES. Suggestion That Criminals Condemned to Death Be Turned Over to Doctors For Experiments. The London Lancet publishes a suggestion from a medical correspondent that condemned murderers should have the option of submitting themselves to some simple pathological experiment as an alternative to being hanged. The writer urges that a life which is forfeited by the State should be used for some good end, instead of being wasted. He says: "If we could study disease in the laboratory of the human body we might with confidence look forward to almost endless possibilities." He says the question of whether bovine tuberculosis is transferable to human beings is one which under this experiment would be capable of immediate solution. Another question that could also be solved is whether cancer is transferable from man to man. The writer says he does not doubt that a condemned man would accept, the chance of life in any such experiment. The Lancet editorially expresses agreement with the statement that criminals would consent to place themselves at the disposal of the doctory and points out that criminals in the Middle Ages were handed over to medical men for experiments with poison and reputed remedies. Nevertheless, the Lancet does not support its correspondent's proposal, and declares itself on the side of "professional humanitarians." A Kansas Chicken Dinner. In preparing the luncheon for visiting railroad men and the officers from Fort Leavenworth this question came up; in trying four dozen chickens shall the backs, necks, gizzards and livers be used? What would you have done? We let them go in; they've plenty good enough for editors, anyway, and we believe for anybody. By the way, how many "pieces" in four dozen fried chickens? We've been investigating and know. To each chicken there are twelve pieces. Ten good pieces and the neck and gizzard, making twelve in all-two drumsticks, two wings, two breasts, two thighs, two back pieces and the neck and gizzard. Five hundred and thirty-eight pieces of chicken in four"dozen. The chickens were young and the livers didn't amount to much.-Atchison Globe.

On returning, home he asked his wife what she thought of the curate's sermon. "It was the poorest one I ever heard," she replied, promptly, "nothing in it at all." Letter in the day the clergyman meeting his curate, asked him how he had got on. "Oh, very well," was the reply. "I didn't have time to prepare anything, so I preached one of your unused sermons."—Harper's, Weekly. INTEREST TO WOMEN A WOMÁN CORÓNER. Miss Louise A.

An Englishwoman says it is her law never to shop except on a sunny day, She never, she insists, makes a mistake on a sunny day. She declares there is nothing one can buy safely but stamps when the sun is absent. There is a good deal in her theory. Shopping on a gloomy day is a good deal like writing a letter when in a fit of the blues. The sun comes out, one's mood changes, and one regrets what one has said, and what one has bought. In spite of this, as everyone can see, it just takes a rain to bring women out. When the weather is the worst them the fair ones hire themselves to shop, each under the impression that all the others will stay home, and she will have the whole store to herself. And maybe this is why so many things have to be "taken back." Philadelphia Bulletin. THE INQUIRING MAIDEN A young malden sought the counsel of two wives. "Tell me," said she, "when I am wed, is it wise to be jealous of my husband?" Said one wife: "Often am I jealous of my husband, but carefully do I hide my jealousy. Thus, he doth never suspect it, and so do I keep his love and his respect." Spoke the other wife: "I care not what my husband may do, and never am I jealous of him. Yet often do I pretend that I am greatly jealous and exhibit brave fits of jealousy before him. Thus do I keep his love and his respect." "Ah," quothe the young maiden, "I learn, then, that the wise woman concealeth jealousy when it is present, and feligneth it when it is absent. Remembering this, I too shall be enabled to keep my husband's love and his respect." -Carolyn Wells, in Life. NEEDS AT BOARDING SCHOOL One good tailored suit, with silk waist to match. A shirt waist suit of Panama cloth or brilliantine. A separate woolen skirt in walking length. Another separate skirt, very short. Two white pique or duck skirts. One light silk or volle, for teas, etc. A white silk shirt waist and a flannel waist. Three or four white shirt waists, some thick. One pretty light evening dress. A warm wrapper and a kimono. Two hats, one best, one second best, and a tain o' shanter for knockabout. A heavy winter coat, a rain coat, an evening coat if she can afford non-essentials, and a sweater. Kid gloves for street and evening and woolen gloves for ordinary winter wear. Walking or dancing shoes, and a pair of Arctic or rubber boots. Plenty of plain under clothing, as extra laundry charge is made for too much elaboration. If she is not going home for the Easter vacation, a spring jacket and several tub suits will be needed. WHAT A WISE WIFE KNOWS. She knows that home is more than half what you make it, and that a builder of a happy home is a success indeed. She knows that it takes two to prolong a family quarrel, one can therefore terminate it. She knows filling a house with bargains keep a couple from owning the house in which they place them. She knows that if we thought all we said we'd be wise, but if we said all we thought we'd be foolish. She knows that some people sneer at love in a cottage, but love that could wish to live anywhere else is not love. She knows that proud people seldom have friends. In prosperity they know nobody; in adversity nobody knows them, says Woman's Life. She knows that to make long lived friendships one must be slow in making them. She knows that the woman who gains a trifle meanly is meaner than the trifle. She knows that "it is less pain to learn in youth than to be ignorant in old age." She knows that if she cannot throw brightness over her home it is best not to throw a wet blanket over it. She knows that the wife who thinks she is perfect is generally the most imperfect. The unwise wife may profit by studying what the wise woman knows. THE REAL HOME. "I don't think much of this place," remarked a young woman to the friend with whom she was attending an amateurish entertainment, "but it is better than staying at home." Do you realize the full meaning of that re- mark? Home was the last place to be considered, a spot that offered shelter at night and meals when they were not to be found elsewhere, but nothing pleasurable. Home does not mean very much to either men or women, yet never was so much done for the comfort of both. Modern homes are fairly teeming with temptations to rest and be luxurious and comfortable. There are more new books and interesting magazines' put forth every month than the ordinary mortal can read, and furnishings are of the most alluring kind. Yet with all these attractions we are continually searching for distraction, something better than home, yet not so much, after all, judging by the young woman's remark on the entertainment. One can readily understand the restlessness of an occupant of a discomfortable little bedroom in a lodging house. The dinginess is depressing even when the furniture is comfortable. It requires a lot of ingenuity and a host of personal belongings to give a "homey" air to such an apartment. But restlessness is not confined to such places. Lovely homes are deserted for any amusement. The inmates of those homes prefer second-rate meals in crowded restaurants to their own table and road food. A man whose income is derived from very hard work said recently that he never attended evening entertainments. He preferred his home and family, his books and pagers and bed at an early hour. All theatre-going was done in the afternoon and only daylight functions were considered by either husband or wife. He said that he lived so rapidly during business hours that it was a positive pleasure to throw off haste with his office coat, go home as comfortably as possible, make a leisurely toilet and a more leisurely evening meal, chat without regard to time and spend a few hours like a rational being. And he is bringing up his family to just such wholesome ideas. Men are growing more contented, while women are acquiring the restless spirit. Masculine clubs are not the pivot of life, apparently, except for married men. Bachelor quarters are powerful rivals, both to clubs and matrimony. But poor woman cannot get used to a solitary life, so she prefers people outside of home to loneliness within it. She might take a companion, but dislikes the idea of being forced to put up with companionship at the rare intervals when she wants to be alone. Inconsistent to the end, you see. So few of us are resourceful. We are dependent upon the outside world for distraction. We profess to enjoy sowing, yet work under pressure and find weariness rather than rest. We express a fondness for reading and seem to be unable to pin our attention to a book or paper. There is no better relaxation for a woman who has struggled all day in the business world than to eat a leisurely dinner or supper, get into a comfortable house dress and slippers, find an easy chair and a wellshaded lamp and settle down to lose herself in a new world, that pictured by a skillful pen. And there is so much to read that one can afford to be critical and hard to please. There would have to be an occasional bit of amusement, of frivolity, even, to keep this relaxation from becoming monotonous. But the majority of us have more than is good for us. After all we are not very good to ourselves. We overwork and overdulge our bodies and brains, and wonder why they give out—Washington Times. Pretty Things to Wear Handkerchiefs have diminished to the most inconsequent trifles. Jewelled crosses are most popular pendant, after the ubiquitous heart pocket. Every girl with pretensions of pretinness has a couple of pairs of finest mull tails, which she attaches to her lingerie. More jewelry is being worn than for years past. Three collar pins, a big brooch, a necklace, a long chin with a pendant, and two handsome belt buckles all appear at the same time on the average woman. There is use for all the nice little buckles you can annex. One does not only buckle one's belt and sash in these elaborate days, but also one's collar, sleeve straps, bodice bows—bows of any sort in fact—and especially one's shoe bows. What could be prettier than the charming little flower aprons, designed to resemble some flower, the coloring of which is carried out in the fabric chosen? There are rose aprons of pink linen, daisy and geranium aprons, and cutest of all, a four-leaf clover apron, three leaves for the apron and one for the blib. Since there are no more new ornaments to be invented, the necessary thing is to devise new ways of wearing the old ones and the newest fancy, is to wear those lovely necklaces of aqua-marines and similar stones under the thin yoke of the lingerie-walst, their glitter through the transparency, having a pleasing effect.

"Beauty is a question for the blind to decide," remarked Aristotle when pressed for a definition. Later on he wrote a treatise on the subject, but the manuscript is not extant, and even if it were would we ever be made to agree on the subject of beauty? Men like Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier wrote philosophical volumes and essays on this topic—none of them agreeing however. All the poets, the artists and the musicians of the world have tried to tell what beauty is, and only on one single point has a general agreement been made evident—the essence of beauty is the power to attract. As to the secret of this power all the world disagrees. The brilliant Gautler says: "A woman who is beautiful is brainy enough; that is, she has the quality of being beautiful. I prefer a pretty mouth to a fine mind. I would give fifty souls for a single well-formed Amends Made by Dove of Peace, Driven from Home by Turbulent Scene. Again Hovers Over the. Charcoal Flats in Serene Content. The white-winged dove of peace flutters and coos over Charcoal flats and hovers trustingly in the ambient ether even where discord was wont to prevail. An armstice has been declared and the peaceopenpotentialties appeared before Recorder Fogarty yesterday morning, when the protocol was signed and the snowy-winged bird liberated. But the dove of peace has a wary eye skinned for trouble, for it is feared hostilities will break out anew, despite the friendly intervention of his honor, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Maudy Gould, a dignified matron of Charcoal flats, some time ago caused the arrest of Bill Sinis, Chink Sims and Sam Sims on the charge of insult and abuse, and this morning agreed to withdraw the charge because the aforesaid dove had put in its appearance.

There are some who think it's praising Not to raise a row and kick, And they'll pay an extra dollar For that, but it isn't that that heartens— It's the kind word and the thought For the deed done and the doer. Out of which the good is wrought. As when the weary pilgrim, Wrote to the hard way, With its profits and its losses Measured to him day by day, Like the master, Like the songs of, cherubim: "Well done, thou good and faithful"— "It heaven enough for him, William Lampton, in the Sunday Magazine. "ankle." Typically French, this! The Mohammedans have a great ethical work called "El Ktab," which defines the essentials for feminine loveliness as follows: "Four things must be of black color—hair, eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. Four things must be white—skin, teeth, hands and the iris. Four things must be red—lips, tongue, gums and cheeks. Four things must be round—head, neck, arm and ankle. Four things must be slender—fingers, arms, legs and the back." The final tests, however, are four proofs of ignorance, which are betrayed by the eyes, nostrils, lips and fingers. So you see the French writer and the Mohammedan sage practically agree in raising the body of woman higher than her mind. Edmund Burke was a very particular chap. Here is his punctillious recipe: "She must not be too tall, but gentle and docile. She must have many varied spiritual qualities. She must be extremely well built without producing an impression of strength or power. She must have a clear, wholesome complexion."—New York Herald.

"I guess you'll have, enough amends to last you, a lifetime. But if I ever get any of you up here again I'll amend any decision and put you all to mending city property." Discharged. 8 PER.

MATILDA BORMAN MYRTLE MILLS Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Makes Sick Women Well. Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daughter. Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has resulted to the growing girl through her ignorance of nature's mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties. Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and baffle physicians, as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period. When a girl's thoughts become sluggish, with headache, dizziness or a disposition to sleep, pain in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to her aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start the menstrual period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. Hundreds of letters from young girls and from mothers, expressing their gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished for them, have been received by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at Lynn, Mass. Miss Mills has written the two following letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which will be read with interest: Dear Mira. Pinkham:— (First Lotter.)

BOX OF WAFERS FREE-NO DRUGS - CURES BY ABSORPTION, Take a Mull's Wafer any time of the day or night, and note the immediate good effect on your stomach. It absorbs the gas, disinfects the stomach, kills the poison, permits and erases the disease. Caterrish of the head and throat, unwholesome food and overeating make bad stomachs. Scarcely any stomach is entirely-free from taint of some kind.

This cures stomach trouble, promotes digestion, sweetens the breath, stops beching and fermentation. Heart action becomes strong and regular through this process.

A Trite Reply. A girl in Gaylord, Kan., was told by one of her admirers that, if she didn't marry him, he'd get a rope and hang himself right in front of her house. "Oh, please don't do it, dear," she said, "you know father doesn't want you hanging around here." There is a fine opportunity in this vicinity to take orders for the celebrated White Bronco monuments, headstones, grave covers, etc., made by the Monumental Society 1929 Honored by Bridgeport, Conn.

A gramophone which can be heard a distance of three miles is the latest. Now, what is needed is a sound deadener with a three-mile range, to smother the noise of the gramophone. They Met a Bear. Ernest Orsborn and Bud Arnold, of Compthe, report one of the closest calls of the season in a bear fight. For some time a large bear has been bothering their stock, and they had made several ineffectual attempts to find Bruin, but could not locate him. This week they started out and got the track on Big River, near the Horse opening. While they were waiting for the hounds and sitting comfortably on a log, something appeared behind them and knocked Orsborn's gun out of his hand. Before he had recovered from his surprise he was engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter with the bear, which had doubled on the dogs and come back on the hunters. One blow of the bears paw broke the gun in two and bent the barrel. The fight was so fierce that Arnold had to wait several minutes before he dared to risk a shot, for fear of killing his companion. Orsborn finally begged him to shoot anyway, as he said he would rather be shot than killed by a bear. Fortunately Arnold was able to hit the bear, the bullet just glazing Orsborn's arm, and the combatants rolled over on the ground. The bear was one of the biggest ever killed in that section—San Francisco Chronicle. The Kalser's Tip. The Kaiser is popularly supposed to be economical. It is not generally known that he pushes his principles of economy to absolute niggardiness. It will be remembered that he visited Constantinople some time back and was recyled with unexamined magnificence and inundated with handsome presents. During his stay in the Ottoman capital the Emperor's alde-de-camp was instructed by his imperial master to distribute such gifts as were usual among the servants attached to his person. He offered a dollar to the head coachman. The latter without a moment's hesitation returned it.—The Tatler. EXACTLY SO "Pa," said little Willie, who had been-reading a bigger store advertisement, "what's imported and domesticated?" Dining With Franz Josef. During dinner, the Emperor converses in his livelyest manner with the guests of honor near him, and when he rises the whole party of men betake themselves to the smoking-room, where black coffee is served. Here begins what is known as the circle at the Austrian Court. The Emperor talks in turn to every one present about personal things or current events. He likes the frankest replies, and laughs with great joylalty at witty salies. Formerly Franz Josef devoted two hours to his family after lunch, but since the painful death of his only son, the Crown Prince Rudolph, and the assassination of his Empress at Geneva, coupled with the marriage of his two daughters, he leads a very solitary life for the greater part of the year. In summer, however, he makes his way to his lovely villa at Ischl, in the beautiful Salszkammergut, and here he is surrounded by his daughters and their children. It is then this pathetic old man is happiest, playing "grandfather" with the babies, taking walks with them and forgetting for a brief season the trials, sufferings, misfortunes and disappointments which life has brought him—Pearson's Monthly for October. In 1805 the world had not a single steamship on the ocean, a single mile of railway on land, a single span of telegraph upon the continents or a single foot of cable beneath the ocean. Mr. Pitts, Once Pronounced Incurable, Has Been Well Three Years. E. E. Pitts, 60 Hathaway St., Skowhegan, Me., says: "Seven years ago my back ached and I was so run down that I was laid up four months. I had night sweats and falting spells and dropped to 90 pounds. The urine passed every few minutes with intense pain and looked like blood, Dropsy set in and I was so run down that I was laid up four months. I had night sweats and fainting spells and dropped to 90 pounds. The urine passed every few minutes with intense pain and looked like blood. Drops set in and the doctors decided I could not live. My wife got me using Doan's Kidney Pills, and as they helped me so I took heart, kept on and was cured so thoroughly that I've been well three years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

All fish are more or less migratory, though the extent and range, as well as the causes of their migrations, remain meanwhile obscure. It is believed, for instance, that the summer herring fishery comes and goes with the annual ebb and flow of the great Atlantic inflow which sweeps around the north of Scotland, grows in intensity through the winter until early spring and then subsides until autumn. Placo move quickly. Helpcke records two which traveled about eighty-eight miles in twenty-eight days, or an average of not less than three miles a day, and twenty miles in forty-three days. Dr. Fulton has observed that adult placo, swimming leisurely in the large spawning pond at the Aberdeen laboratory, may move 100 to 140 feet per minute, or considerably over a mile, an hour. Many of the fishes perform considerable migrations from and toward the areas where they are normally most abundant. Thus witches and megrims appear to migrate, southward and coastward to the shallower waters in winter, withdrawing again before the spawning season. It is interesting to note that the turbot is one of the most prolific of sea fishes. The number of eggs in five specimens examined by Mr. Fulton varled from 5,612,000 to 10,115,000. The heaviest of the specimens weighed only twenty-one pounds.—London Dally Express. From a beautiful farm down in Texas, where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. "When my baby boy came to me five years ago I began to drink Postum Food Coffee, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a small, delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing healthy baby 11 months. "I have since continued the use of Postum, for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a billious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. "My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off the old kind of coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. "In fact, the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old, who always calls for his 'potle' first thing in the morning), up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum."
