VOL. XXI. AFTER CUANO MEN United States Government Orders Their Prosecution. Southern Farmers Alleged to Have Been Mulcted of Millions Through Concern Known as the "Can- A - Washington dispatch says: Charging that the farmers of the south have been mulcted of from five to seven million dollars by a fertilizer trust, the department of justice Monday at Nashville, Teun., started on foot the prosecution, under the anti-trust law, of fertilizer manufacturers alleged to be members of the trust. Some of the most prominent business men of the southern states are involved in this prosecution. The combination which the government attacks includes practically all the manufacturers of acid fertilizer in the country covering especially those doing business in the cotton states east of the Mississippi river. The manufacturers involved include some in Baltimore and Chicago, as well as in Atlanta, Norfolk, Richmond, Nashville, Charleston and other southern cities. Hon. Edward T. Sanford of Knoxville has been retained as special counsel for the government in this prosecution. The government will allege a combination of manufacturers through the medium of a corporation organized in Canada, known as the Canada Development company, has been formed, it is alleged, by all the fertilizer companies whose product has gone, into the territory named, and through it the sales of the output of the different factories and the price at which fertilizers have been sold have been regulated. The facts concerning the organization of this Canada company and its operations were some months ago laid before the department of justice by a former employee of the Armours, who was selected to be one of the officers of this controlling corporation at the time of its organization. The matter has been under investigation by the department since then. Last week congress passed a bill changing the time of holding federal court at Nashville. This bill was vetoed by President Roosevelt on the ground that as the department of justice had important business prepared for the session of the court, the change should not now be made. This announcement was regarded as only of local significance; but it now develops that the important business in question consists of the anti-trust cases. The government will undertake to show that immediately following this alleged illegal combination of manufacturers, the price of fertilizer was increased by about $2 a ton, and that this cost the farmers of the southern states from five to seven millions of dollars. Under the Sherman anti-trust law not only is every contract or combination in restraint of trade declared it legal, but it is provided that "every person who shall make any such contract or engage in any such combination or conspiracy shall be deemed guilty of a midsdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both said punishments in the discretion of the court." While the Canada company itself cannot be reached, it is the theory of the department that individuals party to such trust agreement and profiting by it can be prosecuted criminally wherever they can be reached, Officers of the Virginia-Carolina Company, the Armour Fertilizer company and of other fertilizer companies who held an interest in this Canada Development company are involved in this prosecution. It is said the company was dissolved as soon as it became known the government was investigating its operations. BANKHEAD WIRES HOBSON. Defeated Congressman Congratulates Hero of the Merriman. Congressman J. H. Bankhead, who was defeated for renomination from the sixth Alabama district by Captain R.P. Hobson, sent the following message to his opponent, who is at Tuscaloosa: "Accept congratulations on your splendid victory. If I can assist in making your majority in November the largest ever given the party in the district please command me." The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 28, 1906. 'FRISCO AGAIN SHAKEN. Disturbance Was Slight, But Resulted In Death of Woman-Feed Problem Proves Most Titanic Task. At 3:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon another shock of earthquake was felt in San Francisco. It lasted nearly a minute and caused considerable alarm. A number of walls of burned buildings which were standing, yet in a weak condition, were thrown down, and frail buildings were considerably shaken up. The earthquake caused the death of Mrs. Annie Whittaker, aged 25 years. She was at work in the kitchen of her home when the shock came. The chimney, which had been left in a tottering condition by the heavy quake of last week, crashed through the roof upon the young woman and fractured her skull. Her body was taken to the morgue, and buried an hour later at Laurel Hill. The shock was also felt in Oakland and Berkeley, but in these places it was very slight and of brief duration. An idea of the titanic task which confronts the citizens' food committee may be gained from the figures of the number of people fed Tuesday. Throughout the city rations for 349,000 persons were distributed. This, of course, is an average estimate based on reports from a few of the food depots. At one station of average size provisions were given out to 672 people an hour for ten hours. All flour that was received in sacks is being exchanged at the bakeries, pound for pound for baked bread. Almost all the bakeries in the unburned districts have opened and are selling bread at the regular price of 5 cents a leaf. There is no danger of a meat famine. Plans for the construction of the new buildings to replace those destroyed, by earthquake and flames are rapidly being drawn and work on some of them will begin as soon as the rulers of the old buildings are cold. Many of the new planned buildings are on a larger scale than those licked up by the flames, giving promise that from the ashes will rise a new San Francisco, greater and more beautiful than the old. In addition to the large force of men and teams already at work, about fifty teams of government mules have been put to work hauling away debris. Several more streets were cleared for traffic Wednesday, numerous street car lines are ready for operation, while the repairing of the water mains and the work of restoration of the gas and electric systems is making rapid headway. Is Charge Against Policeman by Matron of Atlanta Barracks. An Atlanta dispatch says: Police Matron Bohnefeld has made a written complaint against Captain Z. B. Moon, in which she alleges that the captain has been a too frequent visitor to the female detention ward of the city prison, and has permitted some of the young women to become too familiar with him, both in conversation and acts. She also alleges that the captain has not shown her proper respect, in that he has ignored her authority and did as he pleased in her department without her consent. HEADS FAMOUS ORGANIZATION. Albert Howell Elected President of Capital City Club in Atlanta. Albert Howell, Jr., who has been acting as president of the Capital City Club in Atlanta since the death of Major Livingston Mims, has been elected president for a full term by the members of that famous institution, defeating Dr. Hunter P. Cooper by a vote of 211 to 94. Mr. Howell is a prominent young attorney of Atlanta and is a member of the firm of Dorsey, Brewster & Howell. He is a son of the late Captain Evan P., Howell and brother of Hon. Clark Howell, candidate for governor. BAD FIRES IN PHILIPPINES. Two Towns Wiped Out and Many Thousands Rendered Homeless. A dispatch from Manila says: Fire has swept the town of Mariquina, in Rizal province. Many thousands of persons are homeless and starving. Two thousand dwellings are in ruins. The government is rushing assistance to the sufferers. Fire also destroyed Pasil, near the town of Cebu. Two hundred dwellings were burned and many persons are homeless. Annual Reunion of Old Soldiers in New Orleans. ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME Host of Warrior-Heroes of the*Lost Cause Meet to Fight Memorable Battles Over Again in Crescent City. Under weather conditions that were ideal, attended by a multitude that tried to the utmost the great auditorium erected for the occasion, and with enthusiasm unbounded, the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans was called to order in New Orleans Wednesday morning. In the heart of a city which has borne the brunt of battle, and worn the weeds of mourning for its sake, the confederacy was revived again by those who cherish it for everything that it was intended to be, and who will love it until they die, for what it means to them and to the south. The tales of the heroism, the sacrifice, the agony and the glory of the great days were told again to those who never weary of the story, and will cheered and wept by turns, as the bright or somber side of the picture was turned to view. No reunion was ever held under faler auspices. The arrangements of the temporary building erected for the reunion were unsurpassed, and the details of the vast work of handling the great throng of visitors was carried out with precision and care. The first session of the day saw the reunion formally launched upon its career. General S. D. Lee, the commander-in-chief, Adjutant General Mickle and other officers of the organization presented their reports, and General Lee delivered his formal address. There were other speeches, almost without number. The veterans were welcomed by Governor Blanchard for the state, by Mayor Behrman for the city, by the Veterans of Louisiana, the Sons of Veterans of Louisiana, by the citizens of New Orleans, and by members of various affiliated societies. There were songs by young women and reverent prayers by ministers of the gospel. The afternoon was given over to the memory of the confederate dead and addresses, extolling their valor, patriotism and devotion were cheered again and again. Beautiful women and stalwart men combined their voices in hymns of praise, and the whole service proved that while the men themselves are gone, the memory what they were and what they did will never be forgotten by those who have inherited the land they fought to save. Every roof pillar was covered from top to bottom with white and red hunting wound in alternate bands and between these uprights hung, first, the confederate flag, then the national colors, then the stars and bars again, the spaces being filled in this manner from end to end of the hall. The roof was concealed by ropes of red and white tissue, caught up at regular intervals by small confederate flags. Portraits of the leaders of the confederacy were placed at regular intervals throughout the hall. BIGELOW SHIELDS CASHIER. Convicted Banker Appears in Court at Milwaukee as a Witness. Frank G. Bigelow, president of the First National bank of Milwaukee, but now serving a ten years' sentence at Fort Leavenworth prison as a self-confessed defaulter to the extent of over a million dollars, was the staff witness Wednesday in the trial of Henry G. Golt, former assistant cashier of the same bank, charged with making false entries and misapplying funds of the bank. Bigelow testified that many of the transactions with which Golt, the defendant, is charged were made with his knowledge and under his direction. GALLOWS IS WOMAN'S DOOM. For Third Time Death Sentence is Imposed on Mrs. Valentina. At Hackensack, N. J., Wednesday, for the third time the death sentence was passed upon Mrs. Anna Valentina, convicted of the murder of Rosa Salza. Mrs. Valentina was saved from execution on her two previous sentences through the agency of petitions and by efforts of the Italian government which resulted finally in carrying her case to the supreme court of the United States. This court decided against her. DUE TO REBATING Alleged Embezzler Strohbar Puts Up Unique Plea. SHORTAGE PAID SHIPPERS Tells Jury In Atlanta Court That Atlantic Coast Line Officials Are Gulity of Criminal Alleging that secret rebates would account for disbursements made by him as agent of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad at Gainesville, Fla., J. N. Strohbar, placed on trial in the Fulton county superior court at Atlanta Monday morning, charged with the embezzlement of two checks, amounting to $1,710, and which it is alleged, he cashed at the Atlanta National bank on August 30, last, the defendant in his statement to the jury said: "When I turn the searchlight upon the Atlantic Coast Line officials," said the defendant, "consternation will reign in the camp. If my lips are not sealed by a conviction or by death, I shall make public the manner in which rebates are given by that line in order to obtain traffic. Upon shipments of minerals, fruits and vegetables, it is the unwritten law that no vouchers shall be issued, or a scratch of the pen made with regard to transactions which are in violation of the interstate commerce laws, and might become evidence against them in an investigation before the interstate commerce commission." This utterance of the defendant was made in explaining that large sums had been paid out by him in rebates, for which sums, so disbursed, he had vouchers. The defense interposed a demurrer to the indictment on the grounds that it did not charge a crime under the law, and that the alleged offenses were not set forth with sufficient particularity. The court overruled the demurrer and the trial proceeded. The state introduced several of the officials of the road, J. S. Kennedy, paying teller of the Atlanta National bank, and Jacob Fox of Atlanta. Fox remembered identifying Strohbar to the paying teller at the Atlanta National bank, but could not remember the date, and the paying teller who cashed the two checks, amounting to $1,710, could not positively identify Strohbar as the man he paid the money to. The defense relied upon the evidence of several witnesses from Florida, the strongest one, perhaps, being Miss Anna Fischer, clerk of the New Victoria hotel at Jacksonville, who testified that Strohbar and his wife registered at that hotel on the night of August 29 last, and left for the depot to catch the 9 o'clock train on August 30. Other witnesses testified to seeing Strohbar on the train from Jacksonville to Savannah, which arrived in Savannah on August 30, the day that Strohbar is alleged to have cashed the checks in Atlanta at 12:50 p. m.—just one hour and ten minutes before the bank closed in Atlanta. A number of character witnesses were also put up by the defense, after which the defendant took the stand to make a statement in his own behalf. He was composed, and his lengthy statement, expressed in choice and clear language, seemed to make a distinctly favorable impression. He denied that he fled from justice to Canada, and made a general and emphatic denial that he had wrongfully converted a cent of the railroad's money to his own use. He closed by saying: "May a just and merciful God direct your deliberations." FOREIGN CONCERN8 HARD HIT. Millions of Insurance in San Francisco Carried by Outliders. Fire insurance on San Francisco property is carried to the largest extent of any foreign or domestic company by the London Assurance of London, which received in 1905 $87,719 in premiums on risks in that city. The heaviest insurance in the whole state of California is carried by the Firemen's Fund of San Francisco, with total of $27,542,577. The Liverpool and London and Globe company of Liverpool, is second in total amount of Insurance carried in California with $18,518,106. The London Assurance company, which leads in San Francisco business, carries a total of $12,212,792 in the whole state of California. STROHBAR IS ACQUITTED. Alleged Embezzler of Funds of A. C. L. Declared Not Gulty by Jury in Atlanta Court. In the Fulton county superior court at Atlanta, Tuesday, J. N. Strohbar was acquitted of the charge of larceny after trust, in that he was charged with having fraudulently converted to his own use $1,708.18 of the funds of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad entrusted to him as agent of said railroad at Galnesville, Fla. No sooner was the verdict in the superior court which restored him to liberty announced than Strohbar was taken in custody to await the determination by Governor Terrell of a request for extradition upon the charge of larceny after trust of some $20,000 of the funds of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, from the governor of Florida. Strohbar was taken in custody by a deputy sheriff, and was committed to the Tower. Argument upon the requisition from the governor of Florida will be heard by Governor Terrell. The application for requisition will be stubbornly opposed by Strohbar's counsel, it being alleged by them that he is ready to return to Florida of his own accord to face any charges against him, but that he will resist any attempt to take him there under arrest. The defense relied upon the establishment of an alibit. They introduced evidence to show that Strohbar left Jacksonville on the morning of August 30 arrived in Savannah at 12:50 p. m. of that day, and that it was a physical impossibility for him to have been in Atlanta on that day before the hour at which the banks close. Strohbar's statement that he had paid out large sums for the railroad company, for which, according to their rule, he had taken ne vouchers, created a sensation. He alleged that secret rebates paid to shippers of fruits, vegetables and phosphates, in violation of the interstate commerce laws, would account for large sums of money which the road claimed that he had embezzled. Immediately after the announcement of the jury's verdict of "not guilty," a crowd surrounded Strohbar, by whose side sat his wife, who has been all devotion during the time since he was extradited from Canada. Many shook hands with him and congratulated him, and Strohbar, who had malaited the utmost composure during his trial, broke down, and wept. BONES OF JOHN PAUL JONES Given Temporary Sepulture at Annapolis with Fitting Ceremony. Reverently attended by the official head of the nation he loved and served so well, by the ambassadorial representatives of the land in which he died, by the chief executive of the state beneath whose sod his bones will find their final rest, and by thousands of the men and women of the country whose first admiral he was, the remains of John Paul Jones were given sepulture in the crypt beneath the grand marble stairway of Bancroft hall at Annapolis, Tuesday, there to rest until the completion of the chapel in which they are to be deposited. The president devoted his brief address to a tribute to John Paul Jones. Addresses were delivered by Ambassador Jusserand, representing France, General Horace Porter and Governor Edwin Warfield of Maryland. WOMEN IN MEN'S CLOTHING. Difficult to Datinguish Sexes in the Refuge Camps at Erisco. In some of the provisional campa established for refugees in San Francisco, it is now difficult to distinguish men from women. Evidently the supply of women's clothing had been exhausted, for many women could be seen dressed in soft shirts or overalls. In this garb they were walking about their tents, unconcernedly, preparing breakfast. It was no time for false modesty, and those who were able to make themselves comfortable in any sort of clothing were indeed fortunate. SESSION ENDED HILARIOUSLY. Mississippi Solons Finish Work In Shower of Paper Balls and Peanuts. The Mississippi legislature adjourned at Jackson Saturday. A final effort to reconsider the vote on the corporation chapter of the new code was without success, and the entire code was adopted. While the vote was being taken, members found diversion in hurling paper balls and peanuts at each other. NO. 30. Preliminary to Prosecution of the Fertilizer Trust. JUDGE SCORES COMBINES Government's Legal Representatives on Hand at Opening of Federal Court In Nashville, Tenn. Ready for Business. An able, clear, concise and instructive charge and presentation upon the Sherman anti-trust law was made to the federal grand jury at Nashville, Tenn., Tuesday morning by United States Circuit Judge H. H. Lurton. He defined a trust, read the sections of the Sherman law upon which convictions may be founded, showing that a $5,000 fine or one year in prison, or both, could be imposed on guilty parties. He showed that the federal laws on trusts were based on the right of the government to regulate interstate commerce, but that it had no control over trades or combinations existing solely in and affecting a particular state only. He showed that congress had as exclusive right to guard, the commerce between and among states as did the states themselves to control such matters entirely within their own borders. He defined clearly and sharply contracts in restraint of trade and to control prices to the detriment of the common people and the enrichment of a few. Among other things Judge Lurton said: "The constitution recognizes two distinct classes of commerce. Commerce among the several states, with foreign nations, and with all the Indian tribes, is the first class. All other commerce constitutes intrastate commerce. "The latter, or the internal commerce of each state, is commerce local in its character, and wholly within the state in which it originated. The thousands of daily transactions in trade or transportation which more closely concerns us lie within the limits of intrastate commerce and over this class of commerce the state alone has the power of regulation. "Congress has no power to regulate commerce or transportation which is wholly within a single state, which does not also directly operate as a restraint or monopoly of commerce among the states. "Upon the other hand, the power of congress over commerce among the states and with foreign nations is as exclusive and absolute as is the power of the state over the state commerce." At the conclusion of Judge Lurton's remarks, United States District Attorney A. M. Tillman presented to the court Hon. J. Harvard Graves of the department of justice at Washington and Hon. D. T. Sanford of Knoxville, who were appointed by the government as special assistants to the United States attorney in the prosecution of the alleged fertilizer trust. Witnesses are to be taken before the grand jury as soon as the district attorney can get matters in shape and interesting proceedings are anticipated in the near future. A Washington dispatch says: Concerning the government's investigation into the alleged fertilizer trust begun at Nashville, Attorney General Moody said: "The matter has been under investigation by special counsel employed by the department of justice for some time and what further action is to be taken by the department will depend upon what the grand jury finds." WOMAN SLAIN WITH AXE. Found Dead With Her Head Split Open and Advent. Saved from Body. and Almost Severed from Body. Mrs. Mollie Glover, a woman thirty years of age, was found dead in her bed at the home of Cyl Luttrell, in Bristol, Tenn., Tuesday, with her head split open and almost severed from the body. A bloody are found lying under the bed told the story. Luttrell was arrested on suspicion. FATHER WAS EXECUTIONER. Girl's Assailant Taken From Officers by Posse and Shot. While being conveyed to jail in the custody of two officers a negro, who, it is alleged, assaulted the daughter of J. A. Eastland, a farmer of Della, Texas, was taken from the officers by a posse of citizens and held until the arrival of the girl's father. When Eastland rode up he ordered the crowd to stand back and emptied both barrels of his shotgun, loaded with buckshot, into the negro, killing him instantly. "~".

The lower court was sustained, however, and the men now go to serve out sentences of ten and fifteen years. | Georgia Asked to Aid Sufferers. Governor Terrell issued an appea to the people of Georgia in behalf 9 the San Francisco sufferers. He alse sent a telegram of sympathy to Gov ernor Pardee of California. The proc lamation follows: “The city of San Francisco, ‘The Golden Gate of the West,’ is in ashe: and in ruins. This magnificent city was on yesterday visited by an earth quake unpredecedented in violence destroying millions of dollars of prop. erty, killing and maiming thousands ‘af people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The desolation wes well nigh made complete by an uncontrollable fire, This calamity {s without a parallel in modern history. The suffering under these conditions must be intense and appeals to the charitable heart of the civilized world, and especially to the people of these American states. The conditions, how- ever, call for more than sympathy, and it behooves those of us’ who have been spared to fly to the relief of those so sorely stricken. I know I but voice the great heart of Georgia when I say her people are ready to give ef thelr plenty to relieve, in a measure, the suffering of our nelgh- bors in ouc sister state. : “{, Joseph M. Terrell, governor of Ceorgia, do therefore issue this, my proclamation, calling upon the pco- ple of Georgia to contribute liberally, ; and to this cnd suggest that the peo. ple of the cities, town and communt- ies in this state form relief commit- ‘ees for the purpose of soliciting con- tributions to be forwarded to proper euthorities at San Francisco. “In witness whereof, I have hereunto affixed my Official signature and the senl of the executive department at the capitol in Atlanta, this the 19th tay of April, in the year of our Lord, 1906, and the independence of Ameri- ca the 139th. | “J, M.

Life, Life Divine, and Everlasting Love! Henry Austin, in The Century. A Treat For Bertie. 'I've always kept it out of your way.' said Miss Edith, affecting to totter beneath the weight of a large brown leather-bound book, "but I suppose—now—you'll have to make the acquaintance of all the sisters and cousins and aunts. Albums are supposed to be out of style, I know, but I think families will always have them. No, I don't require your support, thank you. Just sit down there quietly and behave yourself white I show them to you—and don't make any stupid comments. I said 'behave yourself.'" "That isn't misbehaving," said the prospective member of the family. "I'd like to know what you call it?" "Very nice, as far it went." "Don't, Bertie. Now look here. Here's pa and ma to begin with. They're recent, of course. I don't like ma's expression very well; she looks so serious. Pa's all right." | "Good likeness, both of 'em." | "This," sail Miss Edith, turning the page, "Is Ruth when she was a little bit of a thing. I think she's cunning, don't you?" | "Awfully cunning." "And that one on the opposite side is Jim when he was a baby. He seems to be surprised about something." "I'd never have recognized him. It's the first time I ever saw him without his pipe. I'm surprised, too. Where do you come in? "Never mind about me. That's Grandma Brown. You never saw her, but she's likely to come here for a visit in the spring. You'll have to mind your F's and Q's then, sir." "She does not look very venomous." "Bertie! Well, I should say she didn't. She's the sweetest, loveliest old thing that ever was. She used to pet me to death when I was a little girl." "I'd like to know how she could help it." ) "Goose." "You know that I am sorry that I didn't know you then." "When?" "When you were a little girl. I seem to have lost such a lot a time." "You didn't lose any time after you did know me." "Well, I knew a good thing when I saw it. Never mind; I won't lose any more time if I can help it." "I expect you'll stay down at your club four nights out of every week." "You've got another guess coming." "Bertie!" "Sweetness." "Are you quite perfectly, absolutely sure that--that you do?" "I'm perfectly, absolutely sure that if I don't nobody in the world ever did or ever will. Are you sure?" "Oh, I think maybe I do—a little." "Edith?" "Now, Bertie, stop! Yes, I'm sure. You know I am. Bertie, Aunt Martha's looking at you! There! I wanted to show you that album and you don't seem interested one bit." "Who's this?" asked the young man. "I told you that was Aunt Martha. The other is Uncle Harry. They used to be quite wealthy, but Uncle Harry lost his money in some investment and now he seems to have changed a great deal. He won't work any more, and Aunt Martha just supports him. Of course, that's a family secret, but I wouldn't keep anything from you." "And I'd never keep anything from you." "Are you sure?" Have you sure? "Quite sure. We'll just tell each other everything, won't we, darling?" "I'm sure I wouldn't hide a thought from you." "Nor I from you. I think that's where some couples make a mistake—not telling things to each other. We won't be like that, will we?" "I don't see how people can if they truly love each other." "I don't e.ther." "Perhaps--I don't talk people do care for one another as much as we do—do you?" "I'm sure they don't." "Bertle, we were going to look at the album. Now tell me what you think of this girl." "Tell me who she is first. I'm not going to make any rash breaks. I've looked through photograph albums before." "Whom did you look through them with?" "Why, with friends. You know it's not an uncommon form of enter—. What are you looking at me for like that, Edith?" "What friends?" "Why—et—I don't just call to mind. Why, Edith, you don't suppose it was anything like this, do you? No. Nobody I ever cared two pins about. If I had I'll tell you directly." "You are positive?" "Quite positive. You see, I don't even recollect who it was." "Oh, I didn't suppose it was anybody, really. I was just joking. Bertie, doesn't it seem strange?" "What?" "Eight months ago we didn't know each other at all and now here we are sitting here—engaged." "It seems too good to be true to me, sometimes. When I think of it—and how something might have happened and I might never have seen you! I was thinking of going to St. Louis last year." "Bertie, suppose you had!" "You would probably have found some one else you liked." "I wouldn't have done anything of the kind." "Don't you think you would?" "I know I wouldn't. Why didn't I ever find anybody I liked before? Do you think you would have found some one else?" "I quite certain I wouldn't. Nobody I could have cared for as I care for you. No, I guess it was all fixed up beforehand. We are just cut out for each other, darling. I don't believe it would have made any difference if I had gone to St. Louis. I'd have met you somehow. I—" "There was an abrupt start as a matronly looking lady entered the room. "Well!" she exclaimed, "what are you two young people doing here in the dark?" "I was showing Bertie the photograph album, mamma," said Edith. "H'mm!" said the matronly looking lady. "It didn't look much like that to me."—Chicago News. The Savings of Solomon.

On account of the difference of opinion of the action of chloroform and ether on dry seeds, M. Beecquerel has made an extended investigation of this subject. He reports in the Competes Rendus des Seances de l'Academie des Sciences on the result obtained with peas, clover, alfalfa and wheat seeds. These were divided into groups, part of which were perforated, and the balance being left intact. The seeds were kept in chloroform and ether for a whole coat, and then removed and dried, upon filter paper. Upon testing for germination it was found that all seeds in which the outer coat had no been mutilated germinated readily after having been preserved for over a year. In all cases where the seed coat had been perforated the seeds lost, their germinating power. Living Man Turia to Bone. There has just died at Uberlinger, in Baden, a man who has been slowly ossifying for forty years, says the London Express. He was attacked by the rare disease known to doctors as myositis ossificans when fifteen years old. The first symptoms of the disease, which attack the muscular tissues and turns them to bone, appeared in the feet, and slowly the muscles of the legs and the thighs became quite hard. When the disease reached the muscles of the heart death ensued. The man was perfectly contented with his lot, and knew exactly when the end was coming. He was visited recently by the Grand Duchess of Baden, who sent several specialists to see him. None of them was able, however, to relieve him. CURIOUS REVENGES INSTANCES OF CUTTING OFF THE NOSE TO SPITE THE FACE. EVENGE, according to popular superstition, possesses properties that are decidedly sweet. When, however, the subject is looked into closely it is, it must be confessed, difficult to see where the sweetness comes in so far as the majority of revenges are concerned, but on the other hand ingenuity undoubtedly enters largely into the choice of a fitting retaliation, and in these histances the mere fact that a happy idea has been thought out is perhaps in itself a joy. The burglar who some little time ago announced at the Old Bailey that he revenged himself upon the officers who arrested him by committing a burglary at the earliest opportunity on their beat in order to bring them into disrepute, was perhaps lacking in the ingenuity that induced a Chicago lady who had been the victim of gossip to announce a lecture, to which all her detractors were specially invited, and at which the justly licenced woman told those assembled exactly what her private opinion of them amounted to, but at all events, his plan possessed the element of originality. Again, the photographer who painted prison bars across the portraits of those of his clients who did not pay his accounts, and hung the pictures outside his studio for all the world to see, resorted to a scheme of retaliation fitting the offense, and one that was, according to her own statement, about to be adopted by a Parisian sculptress a few years ago when she lost a lawsuit that she instituted with the idea of compelling a fair client to pay for a marble bust she had ordered. Instead, however, of putting the defendant "in jail" after the manner of the ingenious photographer, the fair sculptress decided to transform the bust into a caricature of the lady and exhibit it at the Salon. She did not mention, however, how she intended to induce the committee to further her design, which was, after all, only an adaptation of many artistic revenges that culminated some few years ago in an Antwerpian tenant painting across the front of his house the words: "At the sign of the Dirty Front," in French and Flemish, as a revenge upon his landlord, who refused to paint the front of his dwelling. In the course of the summer of 1901 a conductor on the "tube," who was under notice to leave, sought to be fittingly revenged by putting on the emergency brakes on his section of the train when in the tunnels, with the result that the train was delayed forty minutes between Shepherd's Bush and the Bank and the system entirely upset. This method of revenge, however, will be rarely resorted to in the future, at all events by the wise, for the Magistrates, who looked in the case promptly fined the practical joker £10 or a month, and the would-be waster of time found that his method was decidedly more expensive than that adopted by certain members of a provincial City Council, who had been "closed," who rendered a whole afternoon's meeting abortive by refusing to vote at all on a measure that required two-thirds of the council to vote in the affirmative. That revenges, even when they fit the offense to the admiration of the retaliator, are at times decidedly expensive was discovered in 1902 by a South Coast engineer who, evidently with the desire of getting even with some one in authority, connected the water pipe with a gas pipe in an unoccupied house, thereby filling the gas main with water. Naturally this freak caused considerable annoyance, but it is doubtful if any one was more put out than its perpetrator when justice demanded that he should pay a £5 fine, £50 on account of damages and £1 2s. Gd. costs. Although in this instance the man learned in mechanics was, in a sense, bolstered with his own petard, the form of retaliation to which he resorted had, in a sense, one merit—it was effective, and though misguided, was not without originality. This latter attribute may also be said to have been shared by the scheme of retaliation devised shortly after the Spanish-American war by a Seville audience that at some considerable expense revenged itself upon the United States by purchasing all the seats at the opera house on the night of the appearance of an American prima donna and unanimously staying away, with the result that the opening act was given to a house almost empty, except for policemen and detectives, while absolute silence greeted the finest efforts of the great artist. The form that this revenge took was the absolute antithesis of that resorted to some time ago by divers schoolboys when their headmaster, a great flogger, becoming a city rector. The boys, with the usual cunning of their kind, soon discovered that their former tyrant was in the habit of excusing himself from giving an afternoon service when less than three non-officials were present, and forthwith resolved themselves into a band of twelve, subdivided into four companies, who took it in turn to attend the church on each Sunday afternoon, week by week for several months, for the purpose of entering the edifice at the very last moment, when the rector was about to make his customary announcement, thereby compelling their victim to provide a service. Apparently, both schoolboys and Spanish playgoers failed to appreciate the fact that their policy coincided with the aphorism that it is unwise to bite off the nose to spite the face. Some little time ago, when a Mr. Hatch, of Hornellsville, U. S. A. brought in a bill to provide curfew bells to be toiled through the State-of New York at 9 o'clock at night, after which no children should be allowed in the streets, the Assembly, in revenge for the waste of their time that the proposal of the bill engendered, so amended the act that it provided for a curfew to be rung only in Hornellisville, and only for the purpose of fixing the hour for Mr. Hatch to retire to his couch! That the American nation is very ingenious in manufacturing novel and fitting revenge: is also exemplified by the case of a gentleman from Missouri, who on landing at New York was taxed $4.75 (19s. 9½d) on account of a case of fish and a bottle of whisky that he had brought from Europe, and forthwith announced that although in the past he had always been a Republican in politics in the future it would vote Democrat, and further pledged himself to carry out a vow that the Republics should lose a vote for every cent—there were 475 in number—they had by their system of taxation Jeried on him.—London Globe. ALL IN HER TRUNK. And,So It Was The Company Settled the Claim. A merchant was suing the Burlington Railroad for a car of household goods said to have been destroyed by water and fire at Kansas City during the flood of 1903, while the car was en route from Texarkana to Macon. Among the property lost was a trunk belonging to the plaintiff's daughter, Miss Mercedes —. Her father's lawyers thought it well to put Miss Mercedes on the stand to prove the value of the particular article. The witness was about eighteen. In her innocent brown eyes no hint of humor lurked and the wavy chestnut hair rolled back from a smooth forehead that invited trust and confidence. After she had testified in chief that her trunk contained "some skirts and things," and that they were worth from $60 to $75, the lawyer turned to the road's counsel and said: "You may inspire." You may require The general attorney for the road, Colonel N, O. Borders, indicated to his associate, a young man from a neighboring town, that he might tackle the cross-examination. This barrister happened to be a "detail man," and was inspired with the commendable spirit of finding out things. He believed in getting at the facts. Angels might have deliberated before venturing upon the sacred territory ahead of him, but he didn't. "You said your trunk contained 'some skirts and things,'" began the young man; "what did you mean by that, Miss Mercedes?" She turned and looked him franMy in the eye. "Do you want to know what was in my trunk?" she asked. "Well, yes; I think we're entitled to know what we're asked to pay for," returned the lawyer importantly. Colonel Borders smiled as his young discipline touchel off the fuse and moved his chair out of range. "Well, let me see," began the brown-eyed malden, as she began counting on her fingers; "in the bottom there were six Japanese kimonos, two pair of bedroom slippers, embroidered; one dozen pair of fancy drop stitch hosse pair pink automobile slippers, one white chiffon automobile veil, one box face vells, one Empire coat, trimmed in Chantilly lace; one Marie Antoinette gown of pearl gray grape de chine and—" "Just a minute," said the examiner nervously; "I am not asking you to name all the family's clothes. Just state what was in your trunk." "Why, all those were in my trunk." "Oh!" "Yes, and there was a handsome lace bolero with short sleeves." "A-a-what?" gasped the detail man. "A lace bolero." "You mean a bolo?" "No, I don't." "Well, proceed." "Where was I?" "You said something about a glass bolo without sleeves." "Oh, yes. A handsome lace bolero with short sleeves, a red and white foulard, four-pair suede gloves, six pairs Sea Island cotton stockings, em- broidered—" "Beg pardon. Didn't you mention them before?" "No, sir. I said one dozen pair drop stitch—" "Is there much more?" "Not in the bottom. There were six silk petticoats, two Berise sunsbades, one black velvet toque, a brand-new Silverstein evening wrap, one lace scarf, one pair leather gauntlets, a white organdy over pink—" "Where did that go?" "It went with the trunk. A white organdy over pink silk, lace gown, princess style——" "Miss Mercedes?" "Yes, sit." "Are you only asking $75 for all that?" "Why, that isn't all. There was a compartment tray above and a drawer containing a cut glass puff box, silver hairbrush and comb, pair curling irons, alcohol lamp, box monogram paper, sealing wax and die, a necklace of Venetian beads, imperial style; a bottle of theatre rogue—why, what a funny man! He said he wanted to know what was in my trunk." The last observation was caused by the retreat of the cross-examiner. Then Colonel Borders came forward and dictated this to the official stenographer: "It is admitted by the defendant railroad that the contents of Miss Mercedes' trunk were worth $75, the amount claimed." Then he turned and bowed deferentially to the witness. "You are excused, Miss Mercedes,' he said.—Macon (Mo.) Republican.

The islands of the Phillipine archipelago number 3141 in all, with a total area of 115,026 square miles and a coast line more than twice the length of the coast line of the main United States. Luzon and Mindanao are the two largest islands, containing 40,960 and 36,292 square miles respectively. Luzon contains 35 per cent. and Mindanao 31 per cent. of the total area of the archipelago. The total population of the islands is 7,635,423, of which Luzon has one half and Mindanao only 7 per cent. The 7,635,426 population includes 6,927,676 Fillipinos, 41,035 Chinese, 8123 Americans, 3SSS Spanierds, besides Japanese, English, German, French and other nationalities. Of persons over ten years of age the literacy record shows that 2,762,032 can neither read nor write; 1,002,538 can both read and write, but only 70,627 have received superior education. It is more than 1100 miles from the far northern to the far southern island; nine of the islands have areas ranging from 1000 to 10,000 square miles, seventy-three range from only 10 to 100 square miles and 262 run from 1 to 10 square miles; 2775 islands, or seven-eighths of the total number, are of less than one square mile area each. Names have been given to 166S of the islands. Volcanoes are numerous but all except twelve are extinct: Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, 10,312 feet, is an active volcano, as is also Mayon, 7916 feet high, the most perfect volcano in existence in the world. Philippine commerce with the United States in 1905 calendar year was: 1905. Inc. over 64. Exported to United States..... $15,567,000 $5,312,000 Imported from United States..... 5,739,000 699,000 Free trade between the Philippines and the United States would increase those totals largely, to our mutual benefit. Philippine commerce with all the world in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, exclusive of gold and silver and Government supplies, was: Exports..... $22,322,615 Imports..... 20,876,360 Total, merchandise ..... $63,228,965 Compared with 1901 the exports show an increase of $2,101,958 and the imports a decrease of $2,344,411, a total difference in favor of the islands of $4,414,300. The Philippine exports in 1905 fiscal year consisted of: Exported. Taken by U.S. Hemp ..... $22,140,241 $12,344,515 Sugar ..... 4,977,026 2,618,437 Tobacco ..... 1,999,193 6,820 Copra ..... 2,003,355 14,425 All other ..... 1,134,900 73,779 North America ..... Europe Asia ..... Oceania ..... Africa South America..... Great Britain took $8,291,000 of the exports and supplied $4,848,000 of the imports, followed by Hong Kong with $2,359,000 and $2,102,000 respectively. The next best foreign customers of the islands were, in the order named, France, Spain, China, British East Indies, Japan and Australasia. Of this commerce American vessels carried only $3,154,000 of the imports and $2,000,000 of the exports, in all only a trifle more than 10 per cent.—New York Sun. Making Paper From Feat. Peat cardboard is comparatively a new product. For many years experiments in making this much-used article from peat were tried without success, but about three years ago an Austrian inventor obtained patents for a process which did not necessitate the use of chemicals, and did not require the bolling of the "half stuff." A company was formed in this country. a plant was erected among the peat beds of Michigan, and large quantities of the paper (boxboard) are being turned out. The machine room contains a 120-inch, five-cylinder machine, with forty-one drivers, and the heater room contains 4500-pound heaters. No refiners are used. Paper can be, and is, produced in two hours from the time the peat is dug out of the ground, and it is declared to be of a superior quality. It is of a brown color, is odorless, not as brittle as strawboard, and resists moisture to a greater degree. The peat paper is made in practically the same way as strawboard, the patient being upon the process for reducing the peat to a workable pulp. Clock 112 Years Old. One of the oldest clocks in this part of the country is that owned by Silas E. Fairfield, of Durham, says the Kennebec (Me.) Journal. This is a veritable grandfather's clock. It was first owned by Mr. Fairfield's grandfather, Silas Estes, of Brunswick. He bought the clock in 1794, when he was first married, and it was the wedding timepiece used in the Estes home. For more than a century it has chimed the hours, and is now well on the way toward another century of usefulness. This ancient timepiece has a case of birch, with top of scroll work, cut from birch, mounted with three brass balls. The works of the clock are of brass, and it has a large brass pendulum that measures, fifteen inches in circumference. Quaint and Curious The length of a working day in 1825 varied from twelve to fifteen hours. The New England mills usually ran thirteen hours a day the year round. The le Conte pear, which has revo- lized pear growing in Southern California, was originally the Chinese sand-pear, grown solely for ornamental purposes. The Japanese railway have introduced newspaper reading cars on some of the passenger trains. Tall piles of newspapers are kept at the services of travelers so that they may read as they ride. William J. Schiedelir, a New York drug manufacturer, told a committee of the New York Legislature that twenty per cent. of the cocaine manufactured in this country is used illegit- lately. About eleven hundred wreaths and crosses were sent for the bier of King Christian. It is generally thought that the most beautiful wreath was one sent from Ganunden by the King's old and intimate friend, Queen Marie of Hanover. It consisted of lovely orchids tied with broad yellow and white silk ribbons. An ingenious Italian method of manufacturing fraudulent antiques is described in a scientific journal. A rough imitation is struck of co'as bearing the head of Tiberius, Caligula, or some other Roman Emperor, which are then "fed to" turkeys. By the time the imperial collage has gone through the turkey's digestive process it displays a degree of corrosion almost exactly similar to that of a genuine relic. The only sure way to eil a venomous snake is to kill the reptile, open its mouth with a stick and look for the hollow, curved fangs. When not in use they are compressed against the roof of the mouth, beneath the reptile's eyes. They are hinged, as you can see if you pull them forward with a pencil. The venom is contained in a sack hidden beneath the skin at the base of each fang—Field and Stream. A recent display of aurora borealis was so brilliant that it alarmed the inhabitants of a village in Northern France. They thought the next village was on fire, and hurried out with their fire apparatus to help their neighbors. The brilliant display threw Caen into a panic. Afraid to go to bed, the townspeople paraded the streets for hours, and the churches were filled with women who prayed all the night through. CLASGOW'S TELEPHONES. Excellent Service Furnished by the Scotch Municipality. The city of Glasgow, famous the world over for its municipal undertakings, which include public operation of the street railways, the gas industry and the electric light plants, has been successful with a telephone system which is said to be the best and most efficient in operation at the present time. The general excellence of the service furnished is the result of the full advantage which has been taken of every invention and improvement available, and not only the central exchange, and the house and office equipment, but the outside plant and all appurtenances are thoroughly modern. The central exchange, although capable of accommodating 12,000 subscribers, was laid out originally for only 10,000, and a multiple board of that capacity was designed and installed. The connections are so designed that the operators have no means of listening to conversation, and the privacy desired by subscribers is an accomplished fact. The system is so composed that there is no overhearing between line and line, and as operators cannot tap the line, the subscribers are assured against cavesdropping of every kind. Subscribers ring each other's bells, thus distributing over the whole city work which, if concentrated in the switch-room, would sensibly interfere with the rapidity of making connections. In the central districts of the city, the entire outside work is underground, the cable wires being taken through conduits, and the wires to offices and houses being carried under the pavements. The conduits are of three-inch cast-iron pipe. There are sufficient spacious man-holes with ventilating covers and trapped drains connecting with the sewerage system. In the outlying parts of the city, although the underground conduits and cables are employed on all main routes, the wires to the houses of subscribers are strung on poles. These are all constructed with due regard for taste, safety and convenience. The charges for calls approximate those of our privately-owned telephone systems, except that the profits in Glasgow are devoted to improving the service. The city officials promise that within five years these charges will be cut one half, and the telephone will be brought within reach of the resources of the average household. Work Sitting. A citizen of Gluckstadt, Germany, has returned a census paper in which he describes his trade as that of a basketmaster, while the question regarding his "position" is answered thus: "We do our work sitting." ‘Has Sevannah Tribune ‘Pustisaep Every Satvepay, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W.

These boys acted disgracefully and displayed no respect what- ever for ladies or others around. And to make it worse, it is known that those boys were from some of the best homes in the city. If their action is an omen of their future life, then we are sorry for them and in time sympathize with ‘ their parents for the bitter tears and pangs of heart that they will suffer. The burden is upon parents to caution their boys to act respectfully, especially in public places and when ladies are around. See a ae ae me eT and writer, Jerome K. Jerome, while in Atlanta last week, said: “There is one thing which I wish to hiai to the newspapers. Unless the soutt becomes more conservative in the matte of lynehings, Eurupe will look upon he as it now does upon Russia. “The civilized world is shocked, by the brutal abandoament to passion which some of tue mobs in southern states have shown. Tam sure, however, that the best people of -the south gre morally in arms against this practice and that it will inevitably end,“ “The south is not the only place on the earth that has to deal with that crime for which lynching is made an anarchial pun- ishment. In Bagland we have the same crime. In New York the other day I heard astory equally as horrible as any that ever kindled southern anger. But the south is a civilized country, not one of barbarians and it should have more re- gard for its name abroad. Europe regards lynching just as it does the massacre of Russian peasants, The practice is de- plorable, and every true citizen of you should strive to put it down,” Masonic Notes. j All Grand Lodge reports and fees must-be in the office of the Grand Secretary by May Ist.

The proprietor of a newly furnished uptown hotel has given an order to a publishing house for 200 Bibles. "I have been hearing a lot lately," he said, "about hotel guests going wrong because there were no Bibles in their rooms. Several years ago it was the practice of many hotels to include a Bible in the list of necessary furniture. Gradually the people who were back of the enterprise lost interest, and the books disappeared. It now seems that many persons, particularly commercial travelers, complain of missing them. Frequently they read a chapter before going to bed just to drive away the blues, but now they never get a chance to look inside a Bible. That being the case, it shall not be said that any man stopping at my house is driven to perdition for the want of a Bible."—New York Sun. Want Skla In Swiss Army. It is a curious circumstance that the one army in Europe whose frontiers have a permanent snow-line, and in which the use of the ski is ignored in the army, is Switzerland, where, in many of the cantons, nearly every man, woman and child can ski. This latter fact probably to some extent explains the neglect. But the difference between popular use of the ski and that systematic training which alone could make a battalion or a brigade on ski at all mobile, or even manageable, is so obvious that its neglect in an army which would need it almost more than any other frontier operation, is not easy to understand. The Swiss papers are beginning to raise an outcry on the subject. It is pointed out that although there are thousands of Swiss officers and soldiers who can ski, there is not in all the Swiss army a single class for ski drill, nor any stores for mobilizing even a company of men on ski. The young King of Spain is several inches shorter than his fiancee. Even the Prince of Wales is shorter a good four inches than the princess. SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE. Awful Sight From That Dreadful Complaint, Infantile Eczema—Mother Praises Cuticura Remedies. "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at at least covering his whole body. His surgeries were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever before prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.

KIDNEY TROUBLES Increasing Among Women, But Sufferers Need Not Despair Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease is on the increase among women. Mrs. Emma Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in Joins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. "I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs eloped nervous prostration and a massive kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case."—Mrs. Emma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.

Not for Norfolkian care but for all conditions. Write Dr. H. H. Greer's Soap, Specialty, Box Atlanta, de The Farm The Ideal Dairy Cow. I have access to plenty of water. Whether she be a Holstein, a Jersey or whatever she may be, you will find the typical dairy cow with bony head and strong jaw, long between the eyes and, nose with broad muzzle. She should have a bright protruding eye which means strong nerve force and action later on. She should have a thin neck and retreating-bisluset. The lines above and below must not be straight, or she will steal from you. She should be slightly depressed behind the shoulders with sharp chine—not too straight a backbone. She must have large organs of reproduction and large heart girth, wide between fore legs and sharp on shoulders which gives large heart action and strong arterial circulation. And last, but by no means least, she must have a good udder, for one-half the value of the cow is in her udder which should be long from front to rear. Preserving Harness. The first point to be observed is to keep the leather soft and pliable; this can be done only by keeping it well charged with oil and grease. The straps should be washed and oiled whenever they have been moistened by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this, the straps should all be detached and washed with warm soap suction; then coated with a mixture of ncats-foot oil and tallow and allowed to remain undisturbed until the water has dried out, after which they should be rubbed with a woolen cloth. In hanging a harness care should be taken to allow all straps to hang their full length. Light is essential in the care of leather. When the harness closet is dark the door should be left open during the day. To clean plated mountings use a chamois with a little tripoll or rotten stone, but they should be scoured as little as possible.—E. L. Bates. Selection of Stock. Stock your farm with the animals you like best. You need not have all registered stock, but get the best you can procure. Don't raise nor keep scrub stock; they never will make you any profit. If you don't admire a horse, it probably will not pay you to keep two or three brood mares. If you don't admire a fine milch cow, it will not pay you to keep a dairy herd, other than to supply your own use. If you don't admire sheep, if you don't find them attractive, then don't grow them, for they will very likely never do any good for you. If you are not and cannot be interested in any of the above mentioned animals, then select something you are interested in, something that you do admire. For one must have a love for his line of work to make it most profitable. Men in every part of the country are making money from all kinds of live stock, some from one kind, others from another kind. Often the man who keeps nine or ten milch cows thinks his neighbor who devotes all his attention to hogs and none to cows, very foolish. But it all depends upon the man and surrounding conditions and a man ought to follow his own natural abilities and his own preferences. No matter what kind of stock you select you are doing it for a special purpose; you have a definite end in view. No matter what you want to accomplish, whether to promote growth, develop bone and muscle, or spirit and nerve, to produce fat or milk or wool, the animal must be the one you admire and love to care for the most, to make your selection and profession a profitable one.-E. I. Morris, in the Epitomist. The Self-Sucking Cow. It is not necessary to abuse a cow for this bad habit. Simply go about breaking off the habit in a sensible manner, which is readily done with a little care and with the help of the device here described. Take a strong smooth stick about three and one-half feet long and in one end of it fasten a ring. Buckle a strap around the neck of the cow and fasten a short strap through the ring on the end of the stick or pole with the other end through the neck strap. About eight inches from the end of the pole, the end opposite the one in which the ring has been inserted, bore an augur hole and through this run a strong hard twine or leather and tie it securely to a strap fastened around the body of the cow just beyond its front legs. It will be noticed that while this device will prevent the cow from sucking herself it is a safe attachment and if arranged as directed it will be almost impossible for the cow to injure herself with either end of the pole. The illustration shows the idea clearly—Indianapolis News. The Sow and Her Little Ops The sow with pigs should be fed but little corn during the first few weeks after farrowing and preferably not for a month or so before. It is much better to give her slop made of shorts, a little oil meal and milk with a small quantity of salt added. This prevents her from becoming too fat, gives her more strength and desire for exercise and when the pigs are large enough to try to eat, it furnishes additional nourishment and gives them a good thrifty start; especially so if they have access to plenty of water. Prior to their birth, the sow should have the seclusion of quarters where she will be away from all exciting influences. There, given plenty of straw, she will need no further assistance in preparing her bed. Hence, as far as possible, she should be left alone and after the pigs come she should not be molested for twenty-four hours. After that feed her lightly for the first week, for the most part on green food and slops. By using succulent food including some oil meal, it is seldom that any medicine is required. In summer the quantity of succulent food, of course, is unlimited, but this may be substituted very well in winter with roots. Indeed, it is rare that sows fed liberally on these will fail to farrow successfully and afford all the nourishment that the young pigs need. The object, bear in mind, is to keep them in good growing condition, but not too fat. If a continuous growth can be maintained with a porker until maturity, it is then possible to prepare it for market in short order,—Fred O. Sibley, in The Epitomist. A Barnyard Turnstile. A turnstile is often a very useful part of a fence upon many farms, especially where it is desired to keep the cattle or horses in their place and at the same time allow easy access to the field for those who desire to enter it often in pursuance of their duties. The Prairie Farmer has a most excellent suggestion along this line which is as follows: If the stock kept in the barnyard is not of small stature like the pig and sheep, the turnstile shown in the illustration is one of the best arrangements to place at the entrance. Horses and cows cannot get through the passage thus protected and it enables anyone to enter the barnyard without setting down anything they may be carrying. The turnstile is easily constructed, the main thing being to have the post strong and set firmly in the ground. In the plan here illustrated the cross pieces are set on an iron pin so that they readily revolve. The turnstile would, of course, be much stronger if arranged so that a circular hole was cut out of the cross pieces to fit over the end of the post, which could be trimmed down to three inches in diameter. An iron pin run through the top after the cross pieces have been placed in position would prevent them working off the post. Alfalfa Plants Very Tender. Young alfalfa plants are among the weakest grown in the United States. They grow slowly, are weak feeders and are easily choked or killed by weeds and by unfavorable conditions of soil, weather or treatment. Mature alfalfa is a most vigorous plant; it grows down deeply in the soil, is a virorous feeder, and lives and yields well under many unfavorable conditions. For this reason it will pay well to observe every requirement in planting the seed which experienced growers have ascertained to be of value. Generally speaking, the conditions demanded by alfalfa are seed or soil inoculation, abundant moisture, perfect seed bed, perfect soil at time of seeding, good drainage, few weeds and the very best seed obtainable. While alfalfa seems to require much moisture the plant has a way of helping itself to the required water in sections not regarded as being well watered. The plants reach down with roots sometimes twenty feet long after the moisture which usually exists far below the surface. This habit of adjusting itself to its surroundings constitutes it the most adaptable plant grown in this country to-day.-C. M. Ginther. Covering Manure. Farmyard manure should be kept as near the surface of the soil as possible. The rain-water as it percolates through the soil has a tendency to carry the plant food downward and out of reach of the plants. Consequently an attempt should be made to delay the downward progress of plant food instead of assisting it by plowing the manure in deeply. Then, again, nitrification is most active near the surface of the soil and therefore manure kept near the surface is under most favorable conditions for having its plant food made available and consequently gives quicker returns. When a heavy application of manure has been plowed under deeply, it is no uncommon thing to see lumps of manure brought to the surface by subsequent plowing, showing that it has never been properly incorporated with the soil. It is quite probable, too, that this deeply buried manure has lost considerable nitrogen through denitrification. Economical manuring consists in obtaining quick returns over as large an area of the farm as possible, and this is accomplished by moderate applications incorporated with the surface of the soil. Shallow covering of manure also increases the humus of the surface soil. As a result, the surface does not bake or crack in dry weather; it also absorbs and retains water much more satisfactorily and works up to a fine tilt more easily. The Conversation Necessary to the Purchase of a Woman's Hat. (She enters the millinery department.) "Hats, please. I am just looking—oh, you are busy, too? Dear me! I've asked three persons to show hats and they are all busy. "Floorman, I want to be waited upon at once. Thank you—but, not that cross-looking girl. Yes, that one will do. You see, I want some one who is willing to show me, whether I buy or not, and who understands my style. She must give me her undivided attention, as it is so hard to try to shop when a clerk is talking to her friends about her beaux or—or something." To saleswoman: "Please show me something dressy—but not too much so. Well, you know I want it for evenings, and other occasions, too. I suppose they are all marked down at this time of the year. The paper said they were cut in two—I mean the prices, not the hats, though it wouldn't hurt some of them. I remember a big hat I had once, and one windy day— "I suppose you are busy. Yes, I'll try them on. I like to see the different effects on me, even if I don't buy. "Now, would you advise a large or a small hat? I think I will look at both kinds. No, not the white one; it would be too trying on my complexion. Not a black one—it's too somber. Not that one—it's old enough for my mother. I should think you could tell me what I want. You don't seem to understand what is becoming to me. You must make a study of my face. Yes, I suppose you are too busy to know every one, but, you see, I buy all my things here and you ought to know a regular customer. "Certainly, it must be imported. American hats always have a homemade look. My husband likes to have me get the best. He says it is the cheapest in the end, for if I don't like a thing I talk so much—that is, I am apt to mention it, and he can't work unless it is quiet. "That won't do. The crown is too high, and I would look taller than my husband. Of course, I can't expect you to know his height, but I thought I would mention that he is a trifle shorter than I. I always wear French heels, but I have to have my hats low. Let me see that violet hat. I had a beautiful one just that color the year I was married, and my husband thought I was stunning. Thirty-five dollars? I thought you said they were marked down. I never am sure when clerks are telling the truth—that is, I suppose you don't always know. I try to be nice to persons who wait upon me, for I can get so much more attention. Yes, I'll look at that one."—Chicago News. Exposition of French Silks An exposition of French silks will be held in the Galliera Museum in Paris, writes Consul Atwell, of Roubalx. As it will contain rare exhibits of brocades, embroidered, printed and painted silks, it should receive the attention of American textile designers and manufacturers as showing the latest ideas in silk fabrics. It will be open from May 25 to September 30. HOW THE TROUBLE STARTED. "Talk about human beings having descended from such as you!" exclaimed Poll; "they're much more likely to have evolved from birds. You can't speak their language, and I can." "I don't deny," responded Jocko, "that they got their long tongues from your family." It was then that the two had their celebrated monkey and parrot time.—Chicago Tribune. A BUSY WOMAN. Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed. An energetic young woman living just outside of N. Y. writes: "I am at present doing all the housework of a dairy farm, caring for 2 children, a vegetable and flower garden, a large number of fowls, besides managing an extensive exchange, business through the mails and pursuing my regular, avocation as a writer for several newspapers and magazines (designing fancy work for the lafter) and all the energy and ability to do this I owe to Grape-Nuts food. "It was not always so, and a year ago when the shock of my nursing baby's death utterly prostrated me and daranged my stomach and nerves so that I could not assimilate as much as a mouthful of solid food, and was even in worse condition mentally, he would have been a rash prophet who would have predicted that it ever would be so. "Prior to this great grief I had suffered for years with impaired digestion, insomnia, agonizing cramps in the stomach, pain in the side, constipation, and other bowel derangements, all these were familiar to my daily life. Medicines gave me no relief—nothing did, until a few months ago, at a friend's suggestion, I began the use of Grape-Nuts food, and subsequently gave up coffee entirely, and adopted Postum Food Coffee at all my meals." "To-day I am free from all the troubles I have enumerated. My digestion is simply perfect, I assimilate my food without the least distress, enjoy sweet, restful sleep, and have a buoyant feeling of pleasure in my varied duties. In fact; I am a new woman, entirely made over, and I repeat, I owe it all' to Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." in pigeon. GOOD ROADS HE almost general neglect to plant trees on the newly constructed State roads, called, in New York, is greatly to be deplored and action should be had through amendments to existing laws or otherwise to provide for the planting of shade trees on all newly constructed roads where feasible. The planting of suitable trees should be arranged for in the specifications for the work from the beginning—the tree pits, properly spaced, should be generous in the provision of soil with which they should be filled—and it rarely happens that this soil cannot be conveniently had on the line of the work—so that this important part of the work need add only little to the cost of the roadway. And, likewise, suitable trees in large quantities can be purchased at very low rates from our large nurseries. Here let me make a suggestion to our Forestry Commission, or other officials of competent authority: 'Why not lay out and maintain a nursery on some eligible part of our State domain and raise the stock suitable for adorning our State roads, lunatic and other asylum sites, public grounds, etc.' Here not only the deciduous trees could be raised, but evergreens in variety and in large numbers could be grown by a small additional expenditure of money now used by the States for the care of our forests, public grounds, etc. I have tried to interest our State officials, from the Governor down, but with no practical results so far. Unfortunately, the engineer—unless he has a natural taste for such adornment as may be possible in his ordinarily very utilitarian work—seldom considers the question of planting trees on a roadside. This should not be so, for the taste and judgment of the engineer (an educated man in the nature of his profession) are challenged, often to his disadvantage. Something could be said also as to the rather meagre allowances to the mile now arranged for by law for the construction of our State roads. As far as built they are vastly superior to the ordinary road as constructed and cared for by the local authorities, but it is to be hoped that before long the control of this work will pass entirely into the hands of the State, and their plan and scope as to substantialness and continuity may be enlarged upon and improved greatly. "Westchester County, where there should not be a poor road, is notorious for its bad ones-compared with those in nearby Connecticut, for instance, the Westchester roads are thoroughly discredited. All through Westchester we have an abundance of stone and gravel and if many roads were properly made of the latter material and cared for intelligently they would greatly serve the comfort of those who ride for pleasure and the business convenience of the more practical minded. But, withal—and the gospel of good roads has been well preached—the gospel of maintenance must be advocated and enforced with like strenuousness. But, anyway, let us have shade trees on the roads already constructed and intelligent provision made for the planting of trees on the State roads in the future.—John Y. Culyer, in the New York Tribune. People Must Demand About one-third of our people bear the total cost of the construction and improvement of the common roads. The people of the cities and towns, equally interested in these roads, pay nothing to keep up betterments, but they do pay an enormous cost annually for the presence of bad roads, as I have pointed out. The problem of the age is yet to be solved. Shall we have Government aid and a system of scientifically constructed roads, blazing the way to such prosperity, such peace and contentment as the country never yet has known, or are we to go on in the old century-ridden ruts laid along the trail of the bison and the deer by the fathers of the Republic? Will the people let their Senators and Representatives sleep upon a bill, which provides for their paramount need? Good roads may become law during the life of the Fifty-ninth Congress if the people themselves demand it. But without the demand from the people, Congress will not act—Collier's Weekly. Notes. It is well known that President Roosevelt is strongly in favor of the good roads movement and it is believed that he will discuss the question in his forthcoming message. Minnesota has now eleven country good roads associations, with six more in process of organization. It is expected that twenty-five county associations will be represented at the annual meeting of the State association to be held in February, 1907. The time is past when commissioners of public works and highway superintendents are chosen by political or social favor. There is but one way to lay out a street or put down a pavement, and that is the right way; the political way or the social way is invariably wrong—Good Roads Magazine. 4. Questionable Transaction. "Oh, Mr. Smith," said a young lady at a church fair, "I want your help for a moment. I have just sold a tidy for $15 that cost 15 cents, and I want you to tell me what percentage that is." "A transaction of that kind, my dear Miss Brown," blainly replied Mr. Smith, who is a lawyer, "gets out of percentage and into larceny." - New York World. THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD ACCEPTED DESIGN OF THE McKINLEY MONUMENT. Type of Goat Introduced Here. ```markdown ``` THE M'KINLEY MONUMENT. Plan of the Memorial to Be Built at Canton. The accompanying picture shows the design accepted by the McKinley National Memorial Association for the monument to be erected at Canton, Ohio, President McKinley's home. The contract for its erection has been awarded and the association has collected $500,000 to pay all expenses of the work. The association has purchased about twenty-five acres of land adjoining Westlawn Cemetery in the western portion of Canton, Ohio, including a mound some seventy feet in height. Upon this will be built a mausoleum of pink Milford granite, circular in form, seventy-five feet in diameter at the base, and about 100 feet in height from the foundation. This structure will be reached by a flight of approach steps fifty feet in width, in four runs, with wide landings between, constituting a rise of fifty-five feet in all. The hill will be terraced to conform with the landings on the staircase, presenting on the whole a terraced mound surmounted by the structure proper. At the base of the staircase will be built a plaza 200 feet in width. The main approach will be a mall about 1000 feet in length, 170 feet in width, with a waterway in the centre, and on either side a double row of trees paralleling driveways. The jury appointed to select the architect was composed of two architects, Walter Cook, of New York, and Rob- ACCEPTED DESIGN OF THE ert S. Peabody, of Boston, and Daniel Chester French, of New York, the sculptor. They chose the design submitted by H. Van Buren Magonigle, of New York City. The interior of the mausoleum will be circular and finished in light gray Kinoxville marble. Excepting the doorway there will be no opening but that through the crown of the dome. In the centre of this mortuary chamber will be the sarcophag, so designed that they appear as two in one. They are cut from single blocks of polished granite. In front of the mausoleum a statue of President McKinley will stand—New York Sun. What Industry Did: Thomas Shaw, the new lord advocate of London, is a self-made man. The son of a baker, he earned his living as a lawyer's clerk while attending the university. His industry was tremendous and the soundness of his scholarship may be judged from the fact that he contributed the article on Talleyrand to the Encyclopedia Britannica. He is a notable fly-fisher. The adverse vote of Bath, England, on Carnegie's offer of $65,000 for a public library was taken by means of postal cards sent out by the City Council.

The truck is then wheeled in front of the burning building and the shield raised by means of a hand gear operated by the firemen, the general plan of arrangement being apparent from an inspection of the accompanying cut. Such a portable shield would prevent the spread of the flames to adjacent property, and occasionally it might enable firemen to approach near enough to a building which was burning briskly to effect a rescue of a life or property which ordinarily would not be attempted because of the danger involved from intense heat, but from which the shield would screen the fireman—Philadelphia Record. Dime For Each Baby. There is a bonus of ten cents a head on all banes born in this county. Unfortunately, however, this bonus does not go to the parents but to the physician, who reports the birth. At the last regular meeting of the city council Dr. Perkins presented a bill for fees for filling vital statistics, covering a peril of two years. There was some surprise when the bill was presented, but an examination of the law showed that physicians of the city and county are allowed ten cents for each birth or death reported. The law has been in force for several years but was apparently undiscovered by the physicians until now. Dickinson correspondence St. Paul Pioneer Press. introduced Here.

Doctors or people who dabble in the doctor's art talk about the "pace" we all live now, the stress and storm of life in England In the twentieth century, and so forth. But are we all so tremendously strenuous? Are we greater in will we work than Englishmen were in the Elizabethan age or than they were, say we take the date at random—in 1806?

The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high-integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choiceest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by billiousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

The Only Remedy. Edwin James was one of the most brilliant English lawyers of his day; but he was always in financial difficulties. At one time he lived in some West End chambers, the landlord of which could never obtain rent. At last he had recourse to an expedient which he hoped would arouse his tenant to a sense of his obligations. He asked him if he would be kind enough to advise him on a little legal matter in which he was concerned, and on James acquiescing drew up a statement specifying his own grievance against the learned counsel and asked him to state what he, considered the best course for a, landlord to take under such considerations. The paper was returned to the landlord the next morning with the following sentence subjoined: "In my opinion, this is a case which admits of only one remedy—patience."—Baltimore Dally Record. H. H.

The ‘progress was gradual but sure, until ithe man was wholly absorbed in imoney-making. He was moody, ab- stracted, restless and often irritable at home and was happy only when at the office or occupied actively in ex- ecuting his business plans. His family were made to feel that they were a burden to him and an an- nnoylng drain on his time. He was a Benerous provider and wanted them to ‘have everything but hig precious ‘time and that thought of them and dnterest in ‘their welfare which they ‘raved more than all the material things he provided.

And they left home early to escape the oppressive atmos- phere. The girls from similar reasons made Indifferent marriages and went forth portidnless, In the course of time the older son died and Jamie fell ‘into bad ways, made a very bad mar- tlage and got into jall and died there, The father refused to see his wife and child and forbade the lonesome and Ga ‘way, Vn Gf A Her spirit broke. heartbroken mother to do so.

I am worth halt a million in cash. Now we can begin to live.” He gazed triumphantly into her dull eyes and, all at jonce, his very heart went cold. He saw no answer- ing gleam In her eyes—only the old dull, listless, hopeless pain. “Do you understand, Mary?” he went on, “We are rich. There is no if or and or but about it. The deal is closed and I have the money in the bank. Now wo can really live.” “Yes, Joba,” replicil tho pale lps and she forced a mechanical smile to her pallid face. Then the scales dropped from his eyes and he saw the change in Mary. He saw all the wreck and ruin of the years and in his clarified vistoa he saw all that his miserable bank ac- count had cost. He arose and stag- gered from the room: All that night and for many nights he walked the floor of his room. Then he disap- peared. ¥ After many days he returned and in his arms was a Ittle boy, whom he carrled straight to his wife. He went down on his Imees and placed the boy in Mary's lap. The tears streamed from his eyes and his volce was broken with sobs as he sald: “It is Jamie’s boy—little Jamie. I have brought him to you. Let us mend our broken lives by doing for him what I refused to do for our own. Show your forgiveness by helping mo to redeem the past.” The evoice had that in it which aroused her heart and once more she felt the warm blood flow in her veins. And so they wiped out a quarter of a century and started over again. Duly Announced.

Argument of Congressman Sims of Tennessee in the House. ‘A Washington dispatch says: The house had under cons{deration Mon- day a bill increasing the salarles of the school teachers in the district of Coluinbla, reorganizing the board of education, The bill provided for a boand of education of nine members, three of whom “shall be of the col, ored race.” ‘Mr. Sims of Tennessee sald It was time to get away from miscalling the negro race. He sald the word “col ored” included the yellow, brown and red people; as well as negroes, He sald the word “nigger” was a cor- ruption of “negro,” and wholly {n- correct, in the description of the raga of people provided for In the bill. He sald that Secretary Taft, one of th ablest and greatest men of his time, in his recent address at Tuskegee In- stitute, had used the words “negro and negro racé” twenty-five times and “colored race" but four times . This fact Mr, Sims thought, was luminous. Mr, Sims’ amendment to the bill, striking out the word “eolored” and inserting “negro,” wherever it occurs, was defeated. Tho bill was amended se that the board of education shall consist of nine persons without regard to color. A VALUABLE BOX OF CHERRIES.

BROWN, _ Watelimaker.and Jeweler, 605 West ‘Broad, Corner Charles St THOSE WHO WANT. CRAPSEY TRIAL RESUMED. Parson on Rack for Denying the Di- vine Birth of Christ. At Batavia, N. Y., Wednesday, after @ postponement of eight days, the trial of the Rev. Algernon S. Crap- sey, D. D. of St Andrew's Church, Rochester, on charges of heresy and violation of ordination vows, was re- sumed. The trial is of deep and far- reaching interest not only’ to members, of the Protestant Episcopal church, but to the whole religious community at large. ‘The presentment against him con- tains fifteen extracts from hjs book, “Religion and Poilties,” the charge be- ing that he Intentionally expressed disbelief in the doctrines of the church, the divinity of Christ, ‘ths conception of the Holy Ghost, the vir- gin birth, the bodily resurrection and the triaity, ROOSEVELT BIFFS JUDGE, President Says Humphrey “Has Vir. tually Made Law a Farce In the Decision of Beef Packers’ Case. In & special message delivered to congress President Roosevelt declares that the result of the recent trial of the beet packers in Chicago was a ‘miscarriage of justice,” and that the construction placed by Judge Hum- Phrey on the will of congress Is such as “to.make that will absolutely abor- tive,” The message, which is mosi seasa- tional in character, 1s based largely on a letter to the president’ from At- torney General Moody, in which the attorney general reviews the proceed- Ings of the case of the government against the beef packers. ‘The president says it is clear that xo criticism attaches to Comalnaloaee Garfield, as what he did was in pirsu- ance of duty Imposed on him by con: gress. Re refers sharply, however, to tha decision of Judge Humphrey, saying that congress could not have foreseen such a decision and that he can hardly Delleve that the ruling of Judge Hum- phrey will be upheld by other judges, He declares that such interpretation vt the law as that placed on it by Tudge Humphrey “comes measurably near making the law a farce,” and he tecommenis that congress pass an act stating Its real intent. The president sequested congress to confer on the government by statute the same right of appeal in criminal cases whieh tho defendant now enjoys, where the mer- Its of the case have not been deters mined. ems ‘- We Lead, Others Follow, ? 1 * The New Pressing Club AND TAILORING. ‘Pants $3.50, Sults $15.00 made of LATEST FASHIONS.
