Over fifty have been organized within the past three months and applications to the officers continue to pour in at the rate of half a dozen per week.

Harahan, of the Illinois Central railroad in an interview here said: "I don't see anything to interfere with the progress and prosperity of the south. Conditions are better in our territory, I know, than for some months. Crop conditions are much better than a year ago. The sawmills have resumed operations, and some of the mills are running overtime to fill their orders. I don't think the presidential election will have as much influence as usual, and it looks as though we are on the eve of an era of prosperity, such as we have never seen before. 'Europe will deal with the south directly on a larger scale, beginning with this year, than formerly. Our representative abroad has been working for this for some time, and we have at last made arrangements that will mean more business for the south. Killed For One Cent Postage Stainp: Kansas City, Mo.—A systematic cruisade against money lenders was started here when Isaac Drake, a negro train porter of the Union Pacific railroad brought suit against Patrick J. Hughes for $25,000 damages. The Union Pacific is supporting this suit and its local attorneys are also Drake's attorneys.

The company, he said, means to rid its employees of usuries. 20 Cents Per Acre For Use of Land. St. Louis, Mo.-The Missouri Pacific railroad is leasing its right of way to farmers along the track near Mankato at 20 cents an acre, to be farmed to within six feet of the ends of the ties. No crop except a hay crop of some sort is to be allowed on the right of way. The rate of 20 cents an acre indicates that the Goulds are not trying to increase their income, but have adopted this plan to keep the right of way clear of weeds.

GRAVES FOR VICE PRESIDENT Georgian Made Good Showing for First Place---Was Unanimously Selected for Second Place. Chicago, Ill. — The Independence Party, at its first national convention here, put a national ticket in the field, and adopted a platform of principles. Thomas Hisgen of Massachusetts was nominated for president on the third ballot, and John Temple Graves was nominated for vice president on the first ballot. Hisgen's opponents were M. W. Howard of Alabama, John Temple Graves of Georgia, William Randolph Hearst, though not a candidate, received a complimentary vote of half a hundred. The first ballot resulted; Hisgen 396, Howard 200, Graves 213, Lyon 71, Hearst 49. There being no nomination on the first ballot, the roll call was ordered for the second time, which resulted as follows: Hisgen 590, Graves 189, Howard 109, Hearst 49. On the third ballot, the vote went steadily toward Hisgen, and it was soon evident that his nomination was certain. Virginia broke from Graves, and placed him within a few votes of success. Then came Washington, with ten votes for Hisgen, and he was nominated. There was a scramble for the band wagon. Georgia changed from Graves to Hisgen, and then they came too rapidly to count. Alabama withdrew the name of Howard after Hisgen had been actually nominated, and cast its vote for Graves. The third ballot resulted: Hisgen 831, Howard 38, Graves 7, Hearest 2. A roar of applause followed the announcement of the ballot, and a motion making unanimous the nomination was adopted with a yell. The usual parade of standards around the hall then commenced while the band played patriotic airs. The women, in the center boxes, who had been prominent when Hisgen was placed in nomination, again took part in the demonstration by wildly waving scarfs and fans. The uproar continued all of eight minutes, and then a committee was sent to escort Mr. Hisgen to the ball. While the committee was seeking the nominee, the roll call for vice presidential candidate was begun. Clarence J. Shearn of New York presented the name of John Temple Graves, and asked that it be given the unanimous vote of the convention. Charles F. Neal of Indiana, Steven Charters of Connecticut and Howard Taylor of Illinois also were placed in nomination. Graves was nominated on the first ballot. The convention then adjourned sine die. CLAIMS OF INDIANS. Distribution of $4,000,000 Among Tribes in the South.

Special Commissioner Guyon Miller, who has the task of locating and paying these people of Indian blood, in accordance with a decree of the United States supreme court, now has his assistants investigating the thousands of claims in the south, including in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Fred A. Baker, who heard the claims of applicants here, stated that there were forty-five thousand applicants to deal with, including those of the sotuhern states west of the. Mississippl. The commission will not take up until this fall the matter of investigating those claims west of the Mississippl.

The bulk of the big estate, according to the will, which has just been probated in Morristown, N. J., goes to two sons and a daughter. Joel Kinney has been missing for fifteen years. While there is no explanation of the manner in which Mr. and Mrs. Raisbeck of New York were drowned in Lake Sylvia at Annandale, Minn., the coroner is of the opinion that the suggestion of foul play is without reason, and that the couple were the victims of an accidental overturning of the boat in which they were fishing. England is face to face with another mutiny in India. Long apprehensive of the Indian situation, the government officials were thrown into a panic by the report of conditions there brought by army officers and civilians who have just returned from India. The whole country is reeking with sedition and all of England's repressive measures have failed to check the spread. It is conceded were England to become involved in war with another nation. India would mutiny and make a strike for liberty that would stagger the mother country. Several members of the New York police force have been indicted for accepting money from race track gamblers. These policemen would fail to make a case against any bookmaker who paid for protection. One of the bookmakers refusing to bribe the policemen was arrested and he, in turn, made charges, which led to the indicting by the grand jury of several members of the police force. James J. Corbett's saloon in Chicago was the scene of the eighteenth bomb explosion in that city, all of which have occurred recently and which seem to be directed against the gambling element only. The police have been unable to find the persons responsible for any of the outrages. A student of aerial navigation at Chicago became suddenly insane and, climbing a telegraph pole, walked out on the wires. A company of firemen and a squad of policemen were kept busy for an hour trying to induce him to come down. He finally stepped on a fire ladder which was quickly lowered and he was captured and taken to an asylum. Mrs. Maud Dousett, the young wife of Thomas Dousett, a carpenter of Newark, N. J., drown her 11-days-old twins, both girls, and then killed herself with gas.

INDIAN LANDS OPENED SPECULATORS IN WILD RUSH Thousands of Dollars Changed Hands and Indians Were Kept Prisoners Until Their Land Was Taken. Muskogee, Okla.—At midnight Sunday the law removing the governmena restrictions on nine million acres of Indian lands in eastern Oklahoma went into effect. Every real estate office in that part of the new state was crowded with anxious buyers and sellers of land; money changing hands by the hundreds of thousands; agents were busy corraling the allottees that have been in captivity for some time past; leases were taken on hand that was not bought, and actual cash passed from hand to hand, making the night one of the most exciting in years in Oklahoma. Every one strigged to get the first chance at the property. the removal means that nine millions of the 20,000,000 acres of Indian land in forty counties of eastern Oklahoma, which part was formerly Indian territory, becomes saleable. The sight of the white man to procure the Indian's lands began the moment the Indian allotments were made, and it has been pushed ever since. For a month agents of real estate companies have been rounding up the Indians, and negro allottees. One buyer entertained a number of Indians and negroes here for three days, the only condition imposed being that they do not leave their rooms or allow any one to enter. FAILS TO FOSTER FRIENDSHIP. Relations Between English and American Athletic Officials Strained. London, England.—Thoughtful men in England have serious doubts and these doubts are being expressed in some of the most influential newspapers whether the Olympian games served any good purpose whereas theoretically they are supposed to foster international friendships. The result of the meetings just finished has been to create international dissensions and kindle animosities. The relations between the English and American athletic officials have become so strained that it will be exceedingly difficult for representatives of the two nations to arrange any competitions in the future or carry them out without unpleasantness. The Italians feel that they have been treated unfairly by the awarding of the Marathon race to the American, Hayes. STEEL FURNACE BLOWN IN. Had Been idle Since October—Workmen Reloice. Pittsburg, Pa.—There was great rejoicing in the town of Rankin, where the United States Steel corporation has $7,000,000 worth of blast furnaces, when the seventh and last of the Carrie furnaces, which has been idle since October, last year, was blown in. The whole town turned out and cheered when Miss Cecilia Hagar, daughter of Dr. C. A. Hagar, touched the electric button which set the machinery in operation. Rankin decided entirely upon the blast furnaces for its revenue, and since they have been idle the inhabitants of the town have been in a deplorable condition. Since the first of the year the big furnaces have been placed in operation one by one, until now all are active and every one in town employed again. FEMALE COLLEGE WILL REBUILD. Pupils to Study at Florence University Until Completion of New Buildings. LaGrange, Ga.—Every assurance is given that the historic Southern Female College, located here, which was recently destroyed by fire, will be rebuilt. Representative citizens of Georgia are taking an interest in the raising of funds for the purpose, and the members of the large alumnae of the college located in every section of the south are hard at work in the interest of having the school rebuilt. This school has been in successful operation for sixty-five years and, while it lost a fine equipment, will rise again better than before. President M. W. Hatton of the Southern Female 'College is also at the head of the Florence University for Women located at Florence, Ala., and until the Southern Female College can be rebuilt its pupils will be taken care of at the Florence institution. Nominated Bryan, Was Almost Mobbed Chicago, Ill.—An attempt to place William Jennings Bryan in nomination for president precipitated almost a state of riot in the Independence Party convention, and it was with difficulty that Delegate J.

Two hundred feet of the San Joaquín river levee gateway, and Jersey Island, comprising 4,000 acres, including 300 acres of celery, was included. The property loss is estimated $500,000. OF POLITICAL INTEREST. Governor Campbell was re-elected for another term as governor of Texas. Frank H. Hitchcock spent most of Sunday morning in company with William J. Bryan in the Auditorium Annex Hotel, Chicago. Politics was not mentioned, and both seemed to have enjoyed the incident. The Taft banner which hangs over a street in Lincoln, Neb., will possibly be removed on the day that Mr. Bryan is formally notified of his nomination. William Randolph Hearst has returned from abroad and upon his arrival gave out a statement to the effect that he would not be the candidate of the Independence League for the presidency. The executive committee of the republican party, as named by Chairman Hitchcock, follows: Charles F. Brooker, Connecticut; T. Coleman du Pont, Delaware; William E. Borah, Idaho; Frank O. Dowden, Illinois; Charles Negle, Missouri; Victor Rosewater, Nebraska; William L. Ward, New York; Edward Duncan, North Carolina, and Boise Penrose, Pennsauga. Governor Hughes of New York has assigned a candidate to succeed him. He is said that the organization of his state, does not want him, but to ignore him would mean the withdrawal of independent voters from the support of the state ticket. As the result of the republican conference held in Chicago, which was called by Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the national committee, headquarters will be established immediately in eight states, and active campaigning for, Taft and Sherman begun. The states taking part in the conference were Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Hon. Henry Watterson or Louisville, Ky. was selected chairman of a new, committee of the democratic party, which will be charged largely with the publicity of problems of the campaign. The body which Colonel Waterson will head will be known as the newspaper committee, its membership being drawn from the publishers of all the metropolitan newspapers. in the country which support Mr. Bryan's candidacy. Mr. Watterson will name personnel of the committee later. John A. Johnson of Minnesota received a personal letter from W. J. Bryan, democratic candidate for the presidency, requesting his early presence at Fairview, and asking him when he would be available for working purposes. The latter question was asked, Mr. Bryan says, in letter in view of the American requests that have been made for Governor Johnson or asking dates in the various states. He says the demand in this respect is general, and he hopes the Minnesota governor will be able to elve it his attention. After a seven-hour conference in Chicago with William J. Bryan and John W. Kern, respectively democratic nominees for president and vice president; the subcommittee of the national committee made its selections of the officers of the committee. It was the first time in many years that a national chairman had been selected by the democratic party only after a bitter contest had been waged. The officers are as follows: Chairman, Norman E. Mack, Buffalo, N. Y.; vice chairman, L. P. Hall, Nebraska; treasurer, Governor C. N. Haskell, Oklahoma; sergeant-at-arms, John L. Martin, Missouri; secretary, Ursen Woodson, Kentucky. The course of the price of stocks in New York on Saturday was ascribed to the interpretation placed on Judge Taft's speech of acceptance, of the nomination for president, of which advance copies had been distributed. Claims of a knowledge of the contents were made the basis for published comments which were circulated in the financial district previous to the opening of the stock market. There was some selling at the outset on the allegation that the Roosevelt policies were reiterated by the candidate. A substantial demand developed at the decline and a material recovery followed. Professed ground for the buying was the claim that the speech of acceptance would be found satisfactory to the financial world. Chairman Hitchcock now declares the fight for Taft electors will be actively waged in every state, and that not one "will be abandoned to the other party." A Japanese boy whom Mr. and Mrs. Bryan raised and educated in now in Japan filling a position of trust. Judge Taft has advised the republican national committee to make a fight to carry Georgia for the republicans. Mr. Bryan is kept busy receiving pilgrims to his Lincoln home. Delivering an address of 5,000 words immediately after learning of the death of his mother, T. L. Cleary of Platteville, Wis., had a trying experience before the state democratic convention at Milwaukee, Wis. The convention did not appreciate the situation until Mr. Cleary's address was concluded. Three days ago Mrs. Cleary, a pioneer of Wisconsin became ill, following the death of her husband a month before. Her illness was not supposed to be serious. One of Mr. Bryan's important callers last week was Josephus, Daniels of Raleigh, N. C., proprietor of The News and Observer, member of the national committee and member of the sub committee, to select a chairman, and other officers of the national committee.

How Mineral Deposits Affect Population By Professor A. G. Keller. HE history of American mining-towns presents many examples of the determining effect of mineral deposits. Butte, Montana, is a city of 26,000 inhabitants supported by copper underlying about one square mile of land surface. The metal forms the sole raison d'etre of this considerable settlement, for in other respects the region is unproductive and unattractive; without the mines the locality would support with difficulty a population of one hundred souls. The mineral deposits of Nevada occur beneath strips of land a few hundred feet in width and in the midst of a hopeless desert, but they have formed plausible pretext for adding a State to the Union and two Senators to Congress. The decline of the lodes has now reduced Virginia City to a population of 2500, as against 11,000 in 1880, when it was one of the busiest cities in America, in the midst of a superlatively "booming" State. In 1900 Nevada was credited with a population of 42,335—a figure somewhat under that for 1870; thus this State, with an area twice that of New England, has less population than Waterbury, Connecticut. Through the existence of mineral products in close proximity, Pittsburg has become the emporium for coal, petroleum, and iron. Its case differs, however, from the above, for its development was far less artificial, and its destiny could never be that of the regions already mentioned. Three navigable rivers converge at this point; valleys sunk in a plateau provide natural routes for approaching railways. Natural and unnatural access, it may be added, are contrasted at Pittsburg by the fact that one railroad has recently been forced to expend $35,000,000 to effect an entrance to the city by overcoming a minor geographic obstacle.—Harper's Magazine. width and in the midst of a hopeless desert, but they have pretext for adding a State to the Union and two Senators the decline of the lodes has now reduced Virginia City to a 100, as against 11,000 in 1880, when it was one of the busiest areas, in the midst of a superlatively "booming" State.

Deeda, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. 116 West St Julian Street A New York Correspondent Unveils the Mysteries of the Ladies' Waiting-Room Nowhere in this wide world, perhaps, does the flotsam and jetsam of human femininity ebb and flow in such a ceaseless tide as in the Grand Central station, New York. And if you cherish any a priori concept of a consistent type of lovely women here is the place where you descend beneath the waters of disillusion to come up washed and made clean. Death as a leveler is a hide-bound blue code as compared with the five-minutes-before-train-time revelations of the ladies' dressing-room. Whatever is selfish or unselfish in human nature, this hustling for grains, elbowing your neighbor out of your way, crowding into the line out of your turn at the Pullman window, brings to the front in a woman's manner more than in a man's, because a woman loses her self-control when she travels. She is always nervous and excited for no more specific season than that she is catching trains and has to run on schedule time. She may have an hour and a half to wait before her train is called and knows that this is so by the big clock in the waiting-room, but she wears a hurried, harassed look and breathes in, short chest breaths for fear she is going to miss it. Now a man will look-at his watch, set it by the railroad time and—but that's another story. In the outside general waiting-room a-woman may sit and appear to possess her soul in patience, but within the sacred precincts of the dressing-room she keeps the Recording Angel busy. A woman can not spend five minutes here without unlacing her innermost character. In this bustling crowd nobody knows anybody else, so it is just her bed rock nature that comes out, her manners after twenty centuries of civilization being still so thin a veneer that the least bit of elbowing jostles all courtesy out of the reckoning. It was a long weary wait we had settled down to, but when the five hours were over we were as much sadder and wiser about our sex as a lifetime of casual intercourse would have left us. The curtain on this scene of disillusion was raised on the six-o'clockers. These women were, on the whble, a well-dressed, interesting-looking lot, out-of-town shoppers for the most part who had spent the day struggling over bargain counters, dressmakers and the supercillious "saleslady." All were tired to the bone, of course, some keeping their own counsel, but many frankly garulous over their trials during the day. Each woman as she entered the dressing-room paused a fraction of a second to locate the mirror, and thirty-seven of the first thirty-eight women who entered made straight for it. Now the waves of disillusion begin to roll over you. The soul of a woman shines through the way she does two things: says her prayers and "does" her hair. There were a home-going few who seemed satisfied when they ascertained the fact that their hats were straight—which meant being very much awry—readjusted a refractory lock of hair, gave a pat to a collar and a jab to a tie or a jerk to a belt. Next were those just coming into the city. Here comes a woman who walks up to the mirror, puts her foot on a chair—the lower rung thereof—and takes from her stocking a powder-rag. Glancing furtively at her tellow-travelers to see if they are looking, she dabs the rag at her nose and each cheek, rubs it down hastily, readjusts her veil and, with a satisfied though somewhat apologetic air, turns away and is lost in the crowd. An increasing boldness as to type, we notice, runs through these varying degrees of "making up." The next woman is younger than her predecessor, and to her the travel-traces are more objectionable. She is better dressed, her hat tills at a more aggressive angle, and her manner is more assured. In a "it's-none-of-your-business" manner she walks up to the mirror and lays down her umbrella and porte-monnale. There is a swish of silk linings, a glimpse of open-work lisse thread, a French-heeled foot, and with due delibration this fair bird of passage assorts the stores in her stocking. These are a few banknotes, the inevitable powder rag, a tiny comb, a pate-brun pencil, and a bit of a rouge sponge. She takes off her hat and vell, hands them to the white-aproned maid in attendance, and into the serious business of over-lay she plunges. She has come from Bridgeport and is on her way to Chicago. What does she care who watches her? With careful forethought she dampens her fingers with her, tongue and massages cheeks and nose just enough to give the powder a fair hold. Then on goes the powder in generous dabs. Now quick with the rouge! Coolly enough she went at it when it was only powder she was applying, but what woman ever possessed the courage of her convictions to the extent of confessedly using rouge? One cheek gets a trifle rosier than the other and there is a bit of a sploch on the lower lip—the light is not good in her corner, so she does not see it. Grabbing her hat and vell, the ceremony of adjusting, readjusting, jabbing hat-pins, and tying her veil is gone through with absorption interest. The reflection in the mirror gives back a rosier, brighter face as she nods approvingly toward it, but the improvement, although she does not guess it, is not the artificial color, but the air of self-satisfaction she now wears. She has still an hour and ten minutes to wait, but she is getting nervous and restless. She is so afraid that she is going to miss her train because—she doesn't know just why, but she is sure she will. Tired women with children are, of course, numerous. The fact that she has one little toddler clinging to her and another in her arms is no bar to the little woman from Derby coming into town to see the store windows. She, with her New England thrift, has risen early, dressed all four of the children, cooked the breakfast and washed up the dishas by candlelight and come in to town to do a round of "window-shopping." All day she has been doing it industriously, now she is going back to her village tired, nervous, over-wrought by the noise and excitement. The children, also tired and out of sorts, have every one misbehaved in various ways, been punished pro tem and threatened with something more lasting when they reach home, and are therefore peevish and sullen. But she will do the same thing next year in the same way, except she may have a fifth olive-branch to care for. As she lays the baby down, the toddler, sticky and dirty-faced, sets up a howl for a little mothering. A middle-aged woman, motherly-looking and plainly dressed, from whom one might expect human things, turns, glares at the tired little woman, the howling toddler, the fretful baby and the sulking older ones, draws aside her skirts and turns her back upon the disconsolate family party, and mirable dictu it is the young woman with the roses-of-her-stocking cheeks who is touched by the scene and tries to amuse the little howler. It is so much cheaper than to go to a hotel, that even women of pretensions to form stop in the station dressing-room instead of going uptown to a hotel. Here they have a maid at their disposal—a thirty-eighth of one at least—so here they make their toilet for the nonce. One woman who is going to stay in town all night has worn her "nightlie" under her blouse and petticoat so she may be encumbered with nothing but her card-case. To the usual kit in her stocking she has added her tooth-brush, so she is ready for a week's tour. The little thirty-eighth woman who comes into the dressing-room and does. not look at the mirror, sinks listlessly into a deep chair and lets her umbrella lie where it fell. Eyes turn curiously or sympathetically toward her as their owners' hearts direct them. Women offer her a stimulant from their bags, and every woman who has a bag has a bottle in it, it would appear. But incidentally discovering it through the kindness of their hearts, it were not fair to discuss it. As others come and go the little thirty-eighth woman is forgotten. The ceaseless tide sweeping young and old, high and low, rich and poor, has run the gamut of human experience between two train-calls. After about twenty minutes' utter devilization little thirty-eighth arouses herself and looks at her watch. Now to business! This is no trivial undertaking to be met in the free-for-all mirror where the light is not strong enough. Slipping into a corner near a window she takes the hand-mirror, before which she draws up a second chair. Off comes her hat, out comes her hair-pins, up comes the notion-stock from her stocking. She is beginning with the process of over-lay in its first stage when we turn our interested eyes to a group of young girls who troop in arm in arm, fresh as the roses of May. Here is no need for powder-rag and rouge. It is on a tour of inspection they penetrate this sacred precinct. Ethel notices Gladys' chewing gum with the soul-content nothing else can give. "Oh, where do you keep it?" she asks in surprise. "I keep it in my hair," rosy young Gladys answers innocently; "I don't ever put it in my stocking any more; I don't think it's nice." Meantime the work of the thirty-eighth has gone steadily on. The pins having been taken out of her hair, a fluffy pompadour and a coil were carefully laid on the chair in front of her, brushed and fluffed, the thin growth on her head skerered into a flat little knot and the false "crowning glory" carefully replaced. We might have asked if there has been some sort of black magic here had our eyes not strayed at intervals to the window where the process of rejuvenation was going on. Fluffy Uncomfortable. Breaking in woolen underwear may be a disagreeable task, but we opine that it is real pleasure compared to the job of breaking in a porous plaster.—Detroit Free Press. Fraulein Richter has been appointed lecturer on philology at Vienna University, the first instance of a woman receiving such an appointment. of hair, pink and white of skin, dewy of eyes and ruby of lips, the weary little woman on the shady side of thirty-five emerges from the alcheny of her stocking, twenty-four at the outside. The brim of her hat that dropped is now turned up in festive fashion, showing a blue lining with a pink rose nesting coyly against the fluffy locks. The fresh white gloves must hive come from the other stocking, being guiltless of daub of rouge or smuch of black. With a gay little nod toward the mirror for a final assurance, the little figure bustles off and mingles with the crowd. The saints defend her on her way! The accommodating maid who has fastened hooks, tided shoes, brought fresh towels, helped unpack grips and sult-cases, arranged veils, supplied needle and thread in emergencies, given critical opinions as to the angle of a hat, the sweep of a skirt, furnished plims to conceal a rip or a tear, met innumerable emergencies during the long day, received usually an absent-minded "Thanks" for her service. Occasionally some woman tipped her with a nickel, a very-few gave her ten cents when she had sewed up a rent or taken care of a child, but at the end of the day there were more pennies than anything else in her pocket. Why? A man, for the same amount of service, would have given three or four times the tip. It can not always be that a man has more money to spend, and we are bound to admit the charge of parsimony in most cases at least. For instance, a woman whose suit-case was lavishly pasted with signs of foreign travel, who herself, suggested opulence from top to toe, who had called the maid to her from another woman, bidden her unpack her suit-case for clothes-brush, comb and other articles, pack it up again, brush her hat and coat for her, gave her two pennies. But during her remaining half-hour wait that same woman bought copies of Life and Vogue, paying ten cents for each, and which she merely glanced through, then dropped upon the floor. Twenty cents invested in a minute's diversion and two cents for service well done! On the other hand, during a temporary lull of the inflow, a thorough-bred young woman whose hard-and-fast tallor-made lines enabled her to pass the mirror with a minimum of attention; dropped into a chair and lost herself instantly in Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason." The roomfull of fellow human beings, after a high-headed survey, ceased to exist for her until a pair of chubby little legs waddled too close to the danger-line and tumbled flat over Minerva's faultlessly shod feet. The mother's mortified eyes saw too late, but she rushed in incoherent apologies to pick up the offender. What did this student girl do? Dropped Kant, picked up the sticky, mussy baby and handed it over to the dazed mother with a smile, beaming and illogical, that pure reason knew nothing about. All of which bears out the basic assertion that if you cherish any a priori concept of a consistent type of lovely woman, it is here you go down under the waters of disillusion and come up washed and clean.—New York Correspondence of the San Francisco Argonaut.

Truth About Dreaded Hydrophobia. Truth About Dreaded Hydrophobia. Many Misconceptions About a Rare Disease and the Chances of Contracting it From One of New York's Million Dogs Only 16 Per Cent. of Danger Even From Animals With Rabies..... Dr G. ELLIOTT FLINT Rables, popularly termed hydrophobia, is, notwithstanding its comparative rarity, the most dreaded of all diseases. In the human being it is a malady, with usually a long period of incubation, that disorders the intellectual, emotional and other nervous functions, causing spasms of the muscles of the eyeballs and throat; there is also more or less fever, and a thirst for water. The patient has at first no fear of water, and eagerly attempts to drink it; but this he cannot do, as the effort of the paralyzed muscles to swallow immediately brings on convulsions; and then the mere sight of it is sufficient to cause their recurrence. Whence the name, hydrophobia, which means, as most persons know, fear of water. In newspaper accounts, the victims of this dread disease are sometimes described as foaming at the mouth, barking and trying to bite any one near them. They do none of these things. It would be as serious to say that a man who had contracted hydrophobia from the bite of a cow or cat mooed or infaused. The disease runs it fatal course in about a week, death ensuing-usually from exhaustion. There is no known remedy for rabies; but oplates are administered freely to alleviate the frightful suffering and to lessen the naroosyms. Although the germ of rabies has not been demonstrated, authorities agree that it has a specific germ. Rabies never occurs in the human subject spontaneously; it is invariably innoculated. Whether it ever develops in the dog or in other animals, without inoculation, is a question concerning which there is some difference of opinion. Dr. Pepper, in his chapter on rabies, in Vol I of his System of Medicine, maintains that the disease never occurs spontaneously in any animal whatever. In proof of his assertion he instances the fact that the disease is unknown in the islands of Elba, the Hebrides and Malta, each of which is noted for its indigenous race of dogs; while in South Africa and Australia the outcast dogs that slowly die of hunger and thirst are also immune to the disorder. Moreover, Dr. Pepper tells us that cruel experimenters have deprived dogs of water and of food, and have exposed them for days to the direct rays of a tropical sun, without producing a single case of rabies. A fact supporting Dr. Pepper's contention is that in cities and towns where rabies has been prevalent strict enforcement of a muzzling law has completely stamped out the disease. Again is his ophion justified by another fact: Many more male than female dogs go mad. The ratio, as given by Dr. Pepper, is as high as seven to one. The explanation of this is, as Dr. Pepper's theory, simple: Male dogs are bitten by, other dogs much more often than are females. A male dog fights with a male, but rarely with a female; and, like other animals, dogs fight frequently among themselves to possess the females. So, bites are inflicted and rabies propagated, if present, among the males. Even a mad dog will hesitate to bite a female of his kind. Anyway, however hydrophobia generates, it is contrary to the common belief, more prevalent in temperate than in torrid or arctic regions, and there are more cases in the spring and fall than in the summer or winter. Now, if it be true that rabies does not occur, even in the dog, except through, inoculation, what becomes of the popular notion that hot weather, deprivation-of-water, insufficient food and exercise, etc., make dogs go mad? Certainly the conviction of the impossibility of spontaneous rabies ought to be comforting to the many owners of pet dogs that are never allowed to run at large. It is reassuring to know that a dog which has never been bitten will never become 'dangerous. Every one should know, though every one does not, that there is no more danger from the bite of a healthy dog than from any other wound, and if the dog lives for ten days after he has bitten any one, that person may be perfectly sure that he will never have hydrophobia. There is a vulgar superstition that if a dog that has inflicted a bite should go mad at some future time, the person bitten will go mad, too. Of course, there is nothing in it. When one has been bitten by a suspected dog, he should immediately apply a tourniquet above the wound. A handkerchief or necktie will do if twisted very tight by means of a stick. The poison should then be sucked out, and the bite cauterized as soon as possible. If it is believed that the dog was mad, the Pasteur treatment should be resorted to. Dr. W. L. Wheeler of the Pasteur Institute, states: that only two-tenths of one per cent. of those treated at the institute develop hydrophobia, the few failures being due either to delay or to the great extent of the wounds. There is a pseudo-hydrophobia (lysophobia) brought on by nervous dread, that has often been written about. But the fact that no such false disease can occur in very young children or in animals that have supposedly died of rabies successfully refutes the argument of some that every case of hydrophobia is imaginary. Now, as to the liability to true rabies of persons in general. There are in Greater New York alone probably more than a million dogs, and as many, if not more, cats; and probably thousands of men, women and children are bitten by dogs or cats, some of which are rabid, every day. Yet how often do we hear of a case of true hydrophobia? The Board of Health reports only twenty-seven cases during the whole of last year; and the annual mortality from hydrophobia in this entire country of 80,000,000 souls is only from 100 to 300. Then we have the significant fact, vouchered for by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, that the twenty-five or thirty men employed by the society for the last fourteen years to seize stray dogs and cats have been bitten in the aggregate perhaps 15,000 times, and often by dogs and cats pronounced mad by competent veterinaries; yet has no case of hydrophobia ever been known among the Society's employees or ex-employees. The writer has it on the best authority that of persons bitten by animals known to have the rabies only sixteen per cent. develop the disease; this proportion being true of those who have not undergone any treatment. Indeed, the disease is so rare that many eminent physicians have denied its existence. That there is such a disease is, now, however, conceded by the hes. part of the profession, and both Dr. Wheeler, of the Pasteur Institute, and Dr. Park, of the Board of Health, over that it is greatly on the increase: That the disease can be eradicated has often been demonstrated, and if steps toward that end be not soon taken, it is very possible that hydrophobia may cease to be so rare as it undoubtedly now is.—New York Sunday World. BIRDS AS FOREST WARDENS. Perform Great Service to Man in Preserving Trees. The robins and other familiar birds are struggling herolically to get their young on the wing, where they can be independent of the predatory cat and small boy, and also the tom-boy. This is the season when it seems peculiarly fit that the school authorities should instruct teachers in all-grades to admonish their puffs and their duty toward the birds and their nestlings at this time. 'It is quite apparent that the parents of the children are for the most part neglecting this most necessary bit of instruction; at least, it has so impressed one who has by heroic efforts preserved for a week a nest of five robins from spoliation at the hands of various children. How much longer the nestlings have to live is a problem from which an actuary would probably shrink. At the recent meeting of the Governors-in Washington for the purpose of conserving the land, water and forest resources of the nation, the work of the birds in protecting crops was freely acknowledged; but it was also shown that they have an important part in forest preservation. The government recently received a report from one of its departments to the effect that insects cause an annual loss to trees of more than $100,000,000. On the oak alone 400 species of insects, which are sought and consumed by the birds of the forest, prey continually, the experts of the Biological Survey have discovered. On the willow 18* such species attempt its destruction; on the pine, 165; one the hickory, 170; one the birch, 105, and on the elm, 80, Careful analysis of the stomachs of woodpeckers, titmice, creepers, kinglets, wood warblers, wrens, fly catchers, swallows, nut-hatches and other birds shows that their constant labor is to consume those devastating insects. The National Society of Audubon Societies has declined to offer its cooperation in aid of the movement begun at Washington, and reminds the Governors that if they would urge and work for the enactment of uniform laws for the protection of birds, they would find no better means for forwarding their great work. And to our way of thinking, the work could be immensely aided by the adoption of a "bird day" in the public schools, to be celebrated early in May of each year. The exercises should be of such nature as to insure an impression upon the mind of the predatory small boy. Their effect might also reach the mind of the thoughtless or indifferent adult who keeps a useless cat as a "pet."—Rochester Herald. More Colorado River Changes Since its invasion of the Salton Sink, and the struggle of the engineers to hold it under control, the Colorado River has found a new mouth, twenty or thirty miles southeast of the old one. The consequences of this change, says Dr. D. T. MacDougal, are somewhat momentous. For one thing, the bore which formerly ran many miles up-stream, affecting both the Colorado and the Hardy Rivers, will probably disappear, since in the new channel the water reaches the sea by a more gradual descent and with a gentler current. New mud-flats will fringe the shore for a distance of fifty miles. Eventually, it is probable, a brackish lake, fifty or sixty miles long, will be formed, into which the seepage of the Hardy River will flow; and serious disturbance of the plants and animals over an area of several hundred square miles may ensue. GOOD ROADS. Roads and Road Making. The old-time road makers seemed to think that a straight line was the shortest route between two points. This is true only on a perfectly level country, so far as roads are concerned. I have seen many instances in the hill country of North Carolina where the road goes straight up a steep hill and then straight down another side of the same hill, while a level road, could have been made around the hill, and not only no longer, but far easier on team and wagon. It takes some men a long time to learn that a road around a hill may be as short as one over it. In the Western Pledmont I once drove over a road where at one point it had been taken originally right down the crest of a long ridge. But the torrents of generations had washed it into a deep gully, and in trying to keep up a road in this gully the road-makers had started a deeper gully alongside of it, that risked the life of every one driving down if the vehicle swerved a little from the narrow track. And there are many such. Right on the sides of this ridge there were valleys up which a road could have been made of gawr grade alongside the ridge, that could have been kept in good repair and drained easily down one slider proper breaks, and never a gully formed. Out in the mountain country, driving from Boone to Linville, the road runs on a ridge and suddenly drops, by the steepest of hills. Ever saw on a traveled road, into the Watauga Valley, while right-alongside was a valley up which a gradual grade could have been made, and the steep hill avoided. Wherever practicable, in the improvement of roads attention should be paid to improving the line of the roadbed. In a hilly country a road in a directly straight line is never the best, and if some attention is paid to the proper engineering of the roads there would be far better roads. Then there is not a section in North Carolina where good making material cannot be bad. In the Coastal Plain the oyster shells are in many places cheap and convenient, and nothing makes a better road than shells. Then, in other parts of the East the shell rock is handy and makes the finest of road material. In the Piedmont country the granite rocks are abundant and convenient. I once drove from Raleigh to Durham, tumbling down into the Crabtree Valley over one of the gulled excuses for a road, and then into a trench of red mud, where the road repalts had been, at work throwing mud and sods into the middle of the road till the mud was so deep that our team pulled the doubletree in two, and we would have been in a bad plight but that we found some bale wire in the carriage with which we lashed a pole on from the woods. And right alongside of this trench called a road, the fields were fairly macadamized over with little broken rocks, and in some places the rocks had been gathered from the fields and placed in ridges alongside the road. And yet the road workers had repaired the road with mud when they could have covered it with these rocks with the same shovels. There is no part of the community more interested in good roads than the farmers who have to haul over them. I am glad to see the spirit of improvement in this respect in the South, and note that some cities are making beautiful roads out from the town through the township. With a little co-operation among the farmers, these roads could be extended all through the State, and the Legislature should 'aid in the construction of the main lines of travel. If a man has a farm for sale and it attracts the attention of a would-be purchaser, it would sell more, readily and for a better price if on a well-built road, for no one would want to buy a farm where he would be tied up all winter. Big loads of cotton can be hauled over the roads around the cities, but the man living off these roads can haul only what he can start with over his own country roads, so that the improved roads are of little use to him, and in many cases he has to pull up a steep hill only to go down the other side, when a level road would take him around easier and quicker. Think of this, too, in improving your roads. —Professor W. F. Massey, in the Progressive Farmer. Trees For Roads. Between 3000 and 4000.trees are set out each year, under the direction of the Massachusetts State Highway Commission. The policy of tree planting adopted by the commission is due to the belief that the tree, by shading the roads, save them greatly for travelers. New Jersey might well follow Massachusetts, good example. This State leads in the number of miles of improved roads, but beautiful, well-shaded roads are of almost as much importance as good roads. There is no reason why Jersey should not have both. The cost of planting trees along the highways of the Commonwealth would be small. The value of the investment would be multiplied a hundred, perhaps thousand, fold, in a score of years. The State has plenty of money, and the State should do the work. This is a matter which should be agitated by the press.

Anp we also need at least one more school building to accom- modate the fonr thonsand col- ored children,who are unable to secure seats at present.

The solos, essays and addresses rendered deserve the highest commendation, as they showed the necessary talent and preparation. In closing the literary exercises, W. P. M., W. D. Kerniedy was called and was given an ovation by the audience. He said in part that the records show that the finances of the Fountain assembled and of the Grand Fountain were in most prosperous condition, and that the True Reformers are ahead of the others, having been the first to have broken away from taking care of the sick and burying, the dead idea, and that they created and conducted the first foremost Negro bank, which had successfully stood the test of two financial panics. He also stressed the fact that this order was founded by a Georgian, and being the product of a Negro's brain should receive the support of all Negroes, especially those of our state. The following officers were installed by Division Chief, Rev. J. M. Walker: W M., James Jamerson; W Mrs., Mrs. Lula Wilson, W S Miss Anna E Green, W A S Mrs. Mary E. Elliott, W C Thomas Davis, W S Stephen Manes, W S T Mrs. Mollie Dixon, W M T Mrs. Lula Richardson, W G Charles Wright, W A G Geo. N Ferguson, W P G Chas. Williams, W D. Thos. G. Young, W P M W D Kennedy. The installation being over a very nicely and tastily arranged colation was served, at which the guests were presented a souvenir flag bearing the compliments and date of the organization of the Fountain. The many guests present were unanimous in their acknowledgments of the courteous treatment, and also showed that they were duly impressed with the idea of progress which the Reformers represent.

Children's Hats. This year little girls school and everyday hats are in bright-colored straws; those for more formal occasions in manilla, crin or chip; or lawn embroidery hats in every degree of elaborate and simple trimming are usually trimmed with a bunch of garden flowers, or with a full ribbon bow or scarf wound about them after the manner of such drapery as arranged on the hats' of their elders.—Harper's Bazar. Longer Skirts For Little Girls. This fashion of putting little girls into frocks that scarcely cover them came into vogue last year, and literally deformed thin children who became the victims of it. This year the loose frocks are all about a full knee in length, and some still longer. In addition to the blouses and tunics there are many apron, or pinafore frock forms, a supply of which will keep the healthy romper looking fresh at all hours of the day, at a comparatively small outlay of labor or money.—Harper's Bazar. Explaining the Huge Hat. The plain; rather dark colored suit was in vogue this winter, the simple kilt skirt and severe three-quarter coat! Obviously something had to be introduced to soften the hard lines. OUR GUT-OUT RECIPE. Paste in Scrap-Book.

In this costume, and the hat was the only medium. The straight-cut suit covers perpendicular line, to eliminate when a horizontal ones was required hence the wide hat; and this, by contrast with the rigidity of the suit, had to be ornamented with trimming in broken lines, so we had endless irregular loops and all kinds of fantastic feathers. Of course, then, when the hat trimming was regular and "set" the purpose of this style of hat was defeated—Harper's Bazar. To Relish Wife's Cooking. A doctor tells me of a note he received from a woman saying that her husband; who was about to make him a professional call, found constant fault with the dinner she prepared for him. She appealed to the physician, for aid. The doctor examined his patient, who had a slight attack of indigestion, and told him to cut out junches, to eat nothing but a slice of toast and a cup of tea. The scheme-worked excellently. Of course hubby returns home in the evening, eats everything in sight and votes his wife's cooking even better than mother used to make.—Boston Record. Mrs. Geraldine Farrar, the prima donna, attended a luncheon of debutantes in New York. Miss Farrar told the debutantes that there was happiness in work. She urged work upon all of them. Work, she said, would preserve them from degeneration into such a type as Mrs. Rose, of Melrose. "Mrs. Rose's type is too familiar," she said. "To show you the sort of type she is: Mr. Rose came home from business. Mrs. Rose lay on a couch. He sat down by her side, and said: 'What did the doctor say, deak?' He asked me to put out my tongue, murmured Mrs. Rose. 'Yes?' And he looked at it and said, 'Overworked.'" Mr. Rose heaved a long sigh of relief. 'Then, my dear, he said, firmly, you'll have to give it a rest. I have, perfect confidence in that doctor.' —New York Tribung. Latitude in Fashions. A fashion note from New York tells us that a considerable amount of latitude is to be allowed to women in the matter of new costumes. They may wear any kind of sleeves that they like. They may be long or short, depending upon whether the arms are of the kind that one wishes to show or to conceal. But this apparent generosity is intended only as a lubricant to an inflexible rigor elsewhere. The edict against waists and against hips is to be enforced to the uttermost. Here there will be no latitude and no concession. The devotee who would fulfill the law to the uttermost must present the appearance of having been liquified and then poured into the dress. And the dress is entirely without those undulations that prove the presence of things unseen, the waist and the hips. The edict against waist and hips has been received with mingled emotions. In some instances it meets with easy and instant acquiescence, but elsewhere there are protests and maledictions. It is easy to understand a compliance that means no more than the discarding of those useful appliances that are prodigally displayed at the bargain counter and pictorially advertised in the daily newspapers. But how about the ladies whose hips are fixtures and who have received from mother nature without money and without price what less favored ones must purchase from art and mechanical skill? Their lot is truly a hard one, for to the mere male mind it seems a bewildering impossibility thus to put on and off a "garment of flesh" that is periodically blessed and banned by fickle fashion. Training and diet may do something, but these things take time, and the changing styles are always in a hurry. Not long ago a lady in a New York store who asked for something in the latest fashion was asked to take a seat for a few minutes as the fashions were then changing. What then must be the fate of the fair ones who are invited to get rid of natural encumbrances between dusk and dawn with the full assurance that they will have to replace them with a similar rapidity?—The Argonaut. Crusade Against Plumes. Whether the particular means he has adopted will achieve their object or not, there will be cordial approval of Lord Avebury's crusade against the wearing of the plumes of certain wild or rare birds. It is indeed strange that women, who so often lead the world in humanitarian sentiment, seem to have absolutely no feeling in this matter: what fashion decrees they obey blindly even though their adornment involves the destruction of the parent bird during the nesting season and the slaughter of the young brood. At the plume auctions held in London during the last six months of 1907 there were catalogued 15,742 skins of birds of paradise, some 115,000 nesting plumes of the heron; during the whole year 190,000 egrets were sold. So much for the humanity of fashion; and there is a regrettable tendency to push the matter further, and to wear hatplins of hare's feet, and such like horrible "ornaments." The preservation of a beautiful animal is more important than the decoration of a hat in a manner which a little reflection would show to be repulsive; but we are not sure that legislation will prove stronger than fashion. Women generally contrive to make a law look ridiculous when it suits their purpose; and acts such as that of Queen Alexandra, who refuses to wear oresps, and has made it known that she objects to ladies wearing them who are in her entourage, will probably be of as much effect as a dozen bills. Laws are useless against the uneducated, and until those who design and those who weekly follow the dictates of fashion are educated to a sense of the cruelty their conduct involves there is little hope for the birds, which are the unfortunate victims of both.—London Globe. Triumph of Youth. A certain line of exercises is recommended to make children stronger than their parents. This looks like a blow at the woodshed ceremony. Hold Stone-Throwing Contests.

THE USE OF DALLOONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF HAIL By the Berlin correspondent of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. Because of the terrible damage wrought by hall in some parts of Europe, scientists have directed their attention to designing a means by which the outbreak of hall could be prevented, and some success has been obtained by the use of hall guns, firing a shot of either gunpowder or acetylene against the hall cloud and thus dispersing it. Though a number of societies for the installation of these guns have R THE HOME OF THE HUNTER An Experimental Balloon With a Basket For Recording Instruments. been founded, both in Southern France and Italy, their usefulness is not universally accepted. Other experimenters have tried rockets, and these have been adopted at some places. Now, it would probably be more efficient to attack the cloud as it were from its very seat, than to act upon it from the ground. In fact, as far back as 1847 Arago and Dupuis-Belcourt suggested the use of a small-capital balloon made entirely of copper, so as to be impervious, and the surface of which would be covered with sharp points. The suggestion was not tried. The same idea has now been taken up by two Belgian aeronauts, Captain Marga and Mr. Adhmar de la Hautt, who, however, use a free balloon, carrying some powerful explosive, such as dynamite or guncotton, which is ignited by some attachment as soon as the balloon has penetrated into the hall-carrying clouds. The balloon used by the experimenters is pear-shaped and of three cubic metres capacity. When filled with hydrogen gas it has an ascenional force of more than four pounds. Five hundred grammes of an explosive, with a nitro-cellulose basis, designed by Captain Marga, are carried, together with a slow match. Experimental ascents have proved successful, and show that in the case of a gathering storm-cloud, it will be possible to so time a charge and direct a balloon as to obtain an explosion in a favorable position for dispersing the clouds. The explosive, suspended at some distance below the balloon, does not injure it, and the latter may be recovered and used again. Some more extensive experiments will shortly be undertaken at the meteorological station at Mogimont, which has been recently Installed by Mr. de la Haut, especially for the purposes of investigating the behavior of thunder storms and hail.

Bonnier has informed the French Academy of Sciences of some experiments, recently tried by him, which, he thinks, demonstrate that bees possess a kind of collective intelligence. One of his most interesting experiments was this: He placed a lump of hard sugar within reach of some bees, and near it a basin of water. The bees, finding that their mandibles were incapable of breaking the sugar, organized a sort of bucket brigade to carry water from the basin to the sugar. Having reduced it to a slurp, states they had no further difficulty. But Monsieur Bonnier noticed, in all his experiments, that single bees gave no such Dispatching an Experimental Balloon Loaded With a Nitro-Cellulose Explosive. indications of intelligence.

Berlin physiologist, Dr. Emil Konig, who has just published a discouraging pamphlet concerning human life, thinks that man has abused his strength and his physiological constitution, and that, for that reason, he is more susceptible to disease than the beings of former times. "In many people," quotes La Revue, reviewing Konlg's book, "there is a very evident degeneracy of the physical organs, and the condition is transmitted from generation to generation. Degeneracy of species is the natural, not to say inevitable, result." Konlg sees a proof of the fact in the alarming increase of cancer cases, which he attributes, in great measure, to the complex life of modern man. He infers that the increase in diseases of the heart may be attributed to the pressure of blood against the linings of the arteries, the pressure being due, of course, to excessive activity of any kind exiting to the circulation; for example, hard work, undue effort or accelerated movement of the mind or body. He (Konig) thinks that marked deterioration is in progress in the human, stomach, and that the present swift decay and loss of the teeth have an alarming influence in stomach trouble. In conclusion he says: "If men continue to live as they have lived under the so-called civilization, the time is near when suicides caused by inability to endure physical pain will be facts of daily occurrence." This pessimism seems exaggerated, but it is based on truth. It is incontestable that however paradoxical it may be in some instances, human life—the life as it should be lived—has broken down the barriers and passed the limitations of reason. Man has lost, if not his comprehension of his best good, at least his precautionary care for his physical well being. He has forgotten that health, not money, is the best possession and earthly outfit. He wastes his strength as a prodigal wastes an inheritance. In China prizes and premiums are given to people who free themselves of disease. It would be well if the people of Europe and America were to follow, prizes to be offered in certain regions nearer home.—From the American Review of Reviews. WISE WORDS. Many a man kicks because he hasn't a free foot. The door of adversity always has the latchstring out. In looking ahead some people are entirely too previous. Many a man's popularity begins and ends with himself. Few men.believe they are working for all they are worth. Consciences doesn't believe in straining its vocal chords. It is hard to be an enthusiast without being something of a liar. Some rich men are as crooked as the dollar mark that brands them. "Joy cometh in the morning," but not if you've been making a night of it. It's a sale plan to believe only half you hear, and then forget most of that. Aside from the moral side of it, bigamy is a luxury few men can afford. Some people are so clumsy that they can't even talk without making a break. Virtue is its own-reward, but that doesn't influence a man to be a good thing. If you want to know how to manage a wife ask a man who has never had one. Success is a rough road on which many a man's tire of ambition has been punctured. A man might learn a lesson from the centipede, who has more legs, but doesn't do so much kicking. Procrastination is the thief of time, but there is one thing we all put off till the last minute, and that is death. When a man complains that he is unable to collect his thoughts it may be because there are none coming to him.—From "Musings of the Gentle Cyclic," in The New York Times. Unwise Combination: To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jennings there was a sort of disloyalty in admitting to any outsider that a native of Willowby could be really eccentric. As for anything beyond eccentricity, Mrs. Jennings would never have admitted it, even in the case of Miss Rachel Gregg, who was frankly called crazy by the summer visitors. "Now, Mrs. Jennings," said one of the boarders, "do you really mean that you've never known Miss Gregg to do anything that you'd call crazy?" "No, I haven't," said Mrs. Jennings, with a firm and unyielding expression about her prominent chin. "Why, what do you think of her sending that bag of eggs to the Corners to Mrs. Cole, right in the box with her laundry work, and never telling-the stage-driver, and letting him throw the box right out?" inquired the summer boarder. "Mrs. Cole says there's one shirt-waist she never be able to wear again." "Well," said Mrs. Jennings, calmly, "I should say about that as I have about a number of little things Rachel does and has done. She may lack in wisdom and forethought now and again—but then, who doesn't I'd like to know?"—Youth's Companion.

A young Esquimau loved an Esquimau lass, but as he had not the necessary number of sealskins to provide the marriage portion required by her father he met with no encouragement from the stern parent. A yawning chasm separated the respective dwellings of the ardent lover and his beloved, which could be crossed only by a snow bridge. The youth conceived a plan. He would cross the snow-bridge in the night, abduct the girl and after recrossing destroy the bridge and so prevent pursuit. He carried the plan into effect. One night he crossed the bridge, invaded the hut of his idol, selzed a sleeping bag and departed, destroying the bridge after he had crossed. Then he opened the sleeping bag and discovered that he had abducted— not the girl, but the old man!—Glasgow Herald. The Troubles of the Sincere, "Why didn't you congratulate Brown on his marriage?"

With the loss of health one's income is liable to shrink, if not entirely dwindle away. When a young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset. "I am alone in the world," writes a Chicago girl, "dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am a clerk, and about two years ago through a close application to work and a boarding house diet, I became a nervous invalid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at a time.

Forces, no doubt in large part political and commercial, but also supremely religious and edu- cational, are bringing that Pastern nation fo a new birth, Men every- where ara inquiring about_the ‘new religion.” Churches are” crowded many times a day. ‘Teachers and preachers cannot meet the need. We seem to be witnessing what has not been seen for centuries, a nation turn Christian, ‘What is of great significance in the Teligious awakening and_conversion of Korea Is the kind of Christian re- Ngion which 1s receiving “this over- whelming response. If the reports ar) true, it Is a religion with two sides, Those who have received it and who are extending It among thelr fellow countrymen know only “The Father" and “Our Elder Brother.” ‘The names which have been and are to multitudes of us Western Chris- ilans of value have no existence to those Eastern followers of Jesus. God and Jesus they know, but “Christ” and the doctrines of the Trinity, the incarnation, the atonement, are not even names. Their'religion is with- out dogma. Is this a sufefent statement of the Christian falth? I do not mean if It §s the sum total of the Christian truths. Of course, it Is not. Neither ‘do I mean ff it fs the “irreducible minimum,” without which a man can hardly be called a Christian. But is this faith In God as Father, in Jesus as Elder Brother, sufficient for life and death? Can men live by this? Are these the regulative ideas of our religion, the tundamen- tal propositions of which all other truths are corollaries? Such. questions can be answered only by the deep experiences of life. Life. the abundant life, is the test of truth, There are times which try men’s souls. Then it is that a man’s books are “opened. his words are welghed, his traditions are tested. At such moments the soul is concerned not with word: but with realities. He demands real answers for real questionings: Such was the experi- ence of Job when disaster befell him, Under the fire and the whirlwind not only Job's property, but Job’s the- ology, was swept away. Orthodoxy proved too weak to lean upon. Such, too, was the experfence of Saul of Tarsus, when he discovered that law failed to make men righteous. He was driven by new needs to revolutionize his religiun and morals. St. Augus- tine, Luther, Wesley, aiso, were men who, Zace to face’ with new experi- ences, as few questions Which ortho- doxy ‘failed to answer, They were ariven to the fundamentals of faith by the facts of life. If faith in God as Father and Jesus as Elder Brother is sufficient it must answer the deep questionings which spring from the deep experi- ences of life. These ’gnestions are three in number." Behind all philoso- phies you will find them. To answer them all religions have set them- selves. F The first question fs: Is there a God. and if there is what is He like? It has its origin fa man as a reason- ing and moral creature, What 13 the origin of what we see and feel? Is this universe: self-evolved or is it the expression of some power which moves through ft and presides over it? If there fs such a Power, what 4s It like? Has it any of the attri- butes of personality, intelligence, righteousness, love? Behind all hu- man doubts and questionings {s this méther of questions, Is there a God? | The second question is: When a man sees upon bis soul the blot of asin can it be removed? What theo- Jogians call sin is.a universal ex- perlence. When Herbert Spencer came to America he was cntertained at a banquet by the most learned company which had probably as- sembled here. At the end of the Program of speeches Henry Ward Beecher was ‘called upon, He praised science and eulogized the debt which Feligion owed the men who tolled £0 painstakingly to ascertain truth, And then suddenly turning aside, he made an appeal to universal experl- ence. There was not a man there, he sald, who had not done something for which he was ashamed, who did not wish he had not done it, who ‘would like to have men know it, who Would not if he could wash his soul clear of it, Selentist, philosopher, theologian, statesman in that learned assembly rose tothatappeal to univer- sal experience. So say all men. There have been? times when sin weighed 50 ‘heavily upon the consciences of men that they have sacrificed their children, thrown themselves under the car of Juggernaut, fled to mo- mastic penance. His a3 deep an ex- perience to-day as ever, but it is ex- Pressed @ifferently. Has my life been of any use to others? is the question upon man’s soul to-day. Not: have I done wrong so much as have I done Tight? His the sense of failure in Well-doing that weighs upon men. Sin, individual and social, is 2 unl- Weanl ant tuanin oh, Father.” Some mem there are who find it easy to belleve on their own experfence that God is Father. Others can believe only when the sun {s bright and the sea fs calm. "When the storm breaks their hearts faipe Within them. But the multitude df us men and women are glad that Jesus ts part of our life. Our Dright- est moments of assurance get thelr light from Him; our darkest mo- ments are not altogether black be- cause He fs part of life. It ts by faith in His experience, supported by His character, His sanity, His truth, His deeds that we keep faith In God. Faith In the Elder Brother makes us His fellow children; keep faith in the Father through storm end sun- shine. ‘When a man sees the cursed spot upon hfs soul can he remove it? “A man,” said Jesus, “had two’ sons.” One ‘went Into the far country and painted his soul black with loose and unworthy deeds. When his money was gone he felt his disgrace and shame. He did not commit sulelde; he went straight home. No sooner had he reached the road outside the gato when ho was halled and his father ran to meet him. Whatever the spot may be upon the soul if a man will take his disgrace and shame, to God he will find fn Him a Father. So with social fallure. Is the time short that remains? “Waste it not in valn regrets over it, The past is irreparable, but the future fs still oneis.own, “Come let us be going.” When a man dies shall he’ live again? Knowledge gives no better answer than In the days of Aristotle. What seems to be scientific proof, when examined,, turns out to be simply man’s hope expressed in sclen- tife phrases. But man has trust- worthy evidence, not in the spirl- tualistie sense, but in the Inference as to what the other world {s like from what we know of this, in his hopes and faith, in the testimony of his poets and prophets. And of ‘all such witnesses to life that desires to be eternal stands Jesus, our Elder Brother. Betore tho gate of aeath He stands and holds the’key. It Is sight of Him, master of life and death, that strengthens our falth in immortality, quickens our hope for the dead and casts about life heré and there the golden radiance which sur- Passes the sunset glow. . For all these experiences of Ife, in answer to all these deep questionings, faith in God as Father, in Jesus as Elder Brother is sufficient. In Korea the Christian Church has learned to ask this faith of its con- verts and no more. When will the church at home jearn this -much- needed lesson? There are questions which this simple faith does not an- swer._ Christianity no sooner had reached the educated Greek than the questions came: What fs the relation between Jesus and God? How ts the Elder Brother related to the other brothers? What fs the true ‘dea of incarnation and of atonement? Men have a right to ask these questions. That right was won long ago by-Ori- gen, of Alexandria. But let it be clearly understood that all such mat- ters of speculation, while legitimate, are not the “faith once delivered.” The faith once delivered fs related to speculative faith, as it historically has found expression in the creeds ard doctrines of the church, as the tree fs related to its leaves. The faith once delivered, trust in God as Father, in Jesus as Elder Brother is the tree. ‘The creeds and doctrines ‘are the leaves. From season to sea- son they must change as new life pushes off old forms, because the tree itself abides, T wish I could persuade men who to-day eject all’ creeds, and with thela the falth, {o see this distinctlon between faith and creeds. It is possi- ble to refect the latter and live by the former. I wish that I could per- Suade men who identify faith. and creeds to make this distinction. It would do much to win the thinking world ‘to the religion of Jesus. It 1s a real distinction. The faith once delivered existed many generations before the most venerable creeds of Christendom were born. It will con- tinue to Inspire and strengthen men when all our creeds shall have passed away. The faith 1s once for all de- liverea. | Subtlest, thought shall fail and learning alter, Churches’ change, forms perish, systems But ob buman needs—they, will not alter, Christ no after age shall c'er outgrow. Yea, Amen! OQ, changeless One, Thou onl Ate Mite's gaide and spiritual goal Thou, the ligetacross the dark vale lonely, # Thou, the eternal heaven of the soul. The old proverb-writer uttered a great truth when he sald that there was a giving that tended to Increase and a withholding that tended to poverty, Giving and receiving are not two different things; the one means the other. There Is, in the divine eccnomy, a great principle of éxchange by which giving and recelv- ing are colneldent. Specially ts this principle operative in the moral ‘and spiritual realm. The most significant thfhg in life and development is hespitality. We open the doors of our heart and life to ennobling and inspiring visitors. We. give of our capacity; but how much more do we get. God asks us to give our hearts. We do so and how much more we get. Jesus Christ asks us to give Him a place in our life. We give it, but the re- sult is not a giving after all so much as it is a getting. Be hospitable then. Be hospitable to all the divine induences of life, and let {t not be a narrow, grudging hospitality. Be hospitable to God; to Jesus Christ. Give Them your best rooms. Let Them be your guests, and They will give you Themselves {n return. Giving is getting, and the greater the investment the greater the re- turn.—Rev. C. S. Bfactarland, in Cliristian Work and Evangelist, Eccential to Hapniness. Companionship is the one thing in the world which 1s absolutely essen tlal to happiness. The human heart needs fellowship more than anything else, fellowship which fs elevated and enduring, stronger and purer than it- self, and centred im that which death cennot change. All its springs are In God. Without Him lte {s a failure, and all beyond is a blapk,—Henry ‘aa Dyke. | sips The : General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World ‘ha -algays been for a simple, pleasant nn eficient liquid laxative remedy of know . value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts aro kndimn to them to be wholesome and tnily beneficial in effect acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. z In aupplying that demand with its ex. eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds slong ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark- able success.

A storm of bitter feeling swept over the house of representatives Thursday during the discussion and parliamentary maneuvers over the Holder convict lease bill. A resolution was adopted to continue the debate on the bill until 11 o'clock Friday morning, and that each speaker be limited to twenty minutes. A resolution to send the convict question to a special committee for settlement was voted down after a very heated debate, in which some of the speakers were accused by other members of the house of becoming personal in their remarks, and considerable feeling was shown by both factions; July 24. The entire time of the house Friday was taken up in discussing and amending the Holder convict bill. Thirty-four amendments to the bill were presented, of which thirteen were adopted and twenty-one were defeated. A resolution that the bill be held over until Monday morning for final adoption was carried. July 25 The house of representatives met Saturday at 9 o'clock and adjourned after twenty minutes' session. The following house bills were read the third time and passed: By M. Matthews of Laurens, a bill to incorporate the town of Cedar Grove; by Mr. McMahan of Clarke, a bill to amend the charter of the city of Athens; by Mr. Flanders of Johnson, a bill to establish a public school system in the city of Wrightsville; by Mr. Lee of Glynn, a bill to amend, the act creating the board of county commissioners of Dodge county; by Messrs. Alexander and Candler of DeKalb, a bill to amend the charter of the town of Kirkwood; by Messrs. Alexander and Candler of DeKalb, a bill to incorporate the town of East Lake; by Mr. Cook of Chattahoochee, a bill to amend the charter of the town of Cusseta; by Messrs. Davis and Fagan of Houston, a bill to amend the charter of the city of Perry; by Mr. McMullan of Hart, a bill to create the office of county compliance of Hart county, by Mr. Dor school and electric lighting purposes; by Mr. McMullan of Hart, a bill to abolish the board of county commissioners of Hart county; by Messrs. Matthews and Clark of Laurens, a bill to incorporate the town of Rockledge; by Mr. Parrish of Berrrien, a bill to establish a new charter for the town of Adel; by Messrs. Jones and Keith of Meriwether, a bill to incorporate the town of Primrose. The senate bill to incorporate the city of Laytona in Franklin county was also read the third time and passed. The house did very little during Monday's session toward the perfection of the Holder convict bill: A number of amendments were introduced and speeches on each amendment were limited to five minutes to each speaker. In spite of the short time allowed, many speeches were made on various amendments, but two of which were adopted during the entire session. One of these was by Mr. Blackburn of Fulton, and it permits the trial judge in misdemeanor cases to sentence the convicted person, in his discretion, to the state farm. The other amendment adopted was by Mr. Smith of Campbell, and provided that under no circumstances should the secretary of the prison commission receive a salary of more than $1,800 per annum. The discussion of the bill was still in progress at the hour of adjournment. July 28. The introduction of a mild-looking amendment to the Holder convict bill put the house suddenly into the midst of a red hot debate Tuesday morning, and finally resulted in what may turn out to be a death blow to the fee system in Georgia. The amendment was introduced by Mr. McFarland, of McIntosh and Mr. Perry, of Hall, and merely provided that when a fine was collected against any person who had been found guilty of a misdemeanor, the part remaining after the solicitor, shoriff and other court officers shall have been paid, must go into the county treasury. The amendment was, on a call of the roll, adopted by a vote of 102 to 59, or nearly two to one. The remainder of the session was taken up with the reading and debating of other amendments to the same bill. July 29 The Holder convict bill was passed by the house Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The vote was 108 to 58. The Bill was amended in many of its features by the house during the morning. The progress of the vote was slow. An aye and nay voto was taken, and many members availed themselves of their right to explain their positions, each consuming three minutes. Mr. Slade of Muscogee entered a vigorous protest against what he George Dohl, a citizen of Dodge, Ga., has been bound over to the United States court in the sum of $100. He will answer to the charge of receiving stolen property from the United States government. The evidence showed he loaned William Feiley, a private of troop D of the Twelth, the sum of $5 on a pistol belonging to the government. This was against the government regulations. They make it unlawful to sell, pawn, borrow or loan money on any military property of the government. IN THE SENATE. July 23. A resolution providing for a recess of the legislature such as would give the members of the committee appointed opportunity to investigate convict lease system and state prison commission, was voted down in the senate Thursday by a vote of 30 to 10. The tax return bill, which empowers county commissioners to make tax assessments instead of the regular assessors, was recommitted to the general judiciary committee. The house bill, introduced by Representative Wright, of Richmond, to provide for the collection of past due taxes to the state, counties and municipalities and for other purposes, was passed by the senate. July 24 The bill of Senator Deen providing for a proper registration of all deaths, and births and for punishment for any violation on the part of the proper authorities failing to make these reports of vital statistics, came up for considerable discussion in the senate Friday and was passed without opposition. The following bills were passed in the senate Friday: By Senator Felder (by request)—To quiet the titles to real estate in Georgia held under foreign titles, and to make such wills muniments of title in certain cases and for other purposes. By Senator Wilkes—To amend an act to establish the city court of Quitman. By Senator Brantley—To amend an act to create a new charter for the city of Dublin, in Laurens county. July 25 There was no session of the senate Saturday, that body having adjourned Friday until Monday. July 27. The senate convened at 12 o'clock on Monday morning with the usual small attendance at the beginning of the week. Just before adjournment the senate went into a short executive session. Senator Cowart's bill to repeal an act to provide for the change of county lines lying within the limits of incorporated towns and cities and for other purposes was passed. July 28. The opening guns of the convict fight boomed in the senate Tuesday morning, when the Felder bill came up for consideration as a special order. Senators Felder and Knight engaged the attention of the body in interesting comment with reference to the solution of the question, the one condemning and severely scoring the lease system, the other defending it and championing the members of the prison commission and ex-Governor Joseph M. Terrell. No action was taken, and the question comes up again Wednesday morning. Senator Brock speaking on the ground of personal privilege denied the newspaper report that he had tried to block the investigation into the convict system. July 29 After considerable debate in the senate Wednesday the Felder convict bill was made a special continuing order for Tuesday. The bill of Representative Tift of Dougherty to require railroads to equip locomotive engines with electric headlights was passed with a substitute which leaves the matter with the railroad commission. Senator Felder introduced a joint resolution that the house and senate meet in joint session on Friday, August 7th, to engage in appropriate memorial exercises in memory of the late Honorable John W. Akin of the Forty-second district, late president of the state senate. The resolution was passed by unanimous vote. The senate then went into a brief executive session before adjournment. During the session the galleries were filled with interested listeners, among whom were many ladies. A Cinch. "I have a theory that you can tell a woman's likes and dislike by studying her husband." "Rot!" "Think so?" "Sure of it? Now my wife is perfectly crazy over bulldogs, and the uglier they are the better she likes 'em. Now would you have suspected that from studying me?" "I should have felt positive of it."—Houston Post. Rights Respected. "You 'will admit that even a man who disagrees with you is entitled to his opinions." "Of course he's entitled to them," answered Mr. Sirius Barker; "that's why I insist on his keeping his opinions to himself instead of carelessly scattering them around." — Washington Star. Not Always a Romance. "Why don't you write your name on an egg? The recipient may fall in love with you." "And the recipient may sue me for damages," responded the dairy maid. "I tried that once and got into a very unpleasant imbroglio with an actor gent." — Washintgon Herald. termed "slanders against the state of Georgia, now being uttered before the committee which is investigating the convict lease system. A resolution was offered instructing the attorney-general to take legal steps as was necessary to recover from all wardens and other officers of the state all salaries paid them to which they were not entitled. Under the cover of darkness the Macon Railway and Light company, disregarding the injunctions of City Engineer Wilcox, placed a line of track along a portion of Cotton avenue near Spring street in Macon. The line laid paralleled the old line. These midnight proceedings resulted in a hearing before Mayor Miller, and it was decided to allow the track to remain, it being a good improvement and carrying forward what the city desires to see, namely, a betterment of the street car service. OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER RICH IN PROTEIN. Cotton seed and cottonseed meal are very rich in protein, which makes them desirable feeds to mix with the rough forage crops. When fed intelligently there are no feeds that will give better returns than cotton seed and cottonseed meal.—Weekly Witness. FIGHT THE LICE Wage a vigorous war on poultry head lice as the weather becomes warmer. One or two are usually all that are found on each chick but they are enough to keep the little fellow under the weather. Look on the back of the head, on the throat or even under the wings. A drop of equal parts of kerosene and lard is the most simply as well as effective remedy. GET A THERMOMETER By all means get a good dairy thermometer, so that it is possible to know at what temperature the churning is being done at. It will result in better butter and a saving of time very often. A dairy supply house will furnish one for about half a dollar, and it will be a good investment. Many never can build up a trade for choice butter, because they guess too much and cannot be sure of turning out butter of high grade regularly.—Progressive Farmer. SHELTER STEER FEEDING. In experiments at the Pennsylvania station it was found that sheltering had no effect on the appetite of steers except in the very severest weather. The station also found that it is essential for fattening steers that they be well bedded. It is decidedly advantageous that the yard be macadamized or given an impervious coating of some kind to prevent mud during soft weather. Wet bedding and muddy yards are more injurious than extreme cold. The amount of feed required per pound of gain is practically the same whether the steers are kept in a warm basement stable or outside. Weekly Witness. LET THE OLD HEN HAVE THEM. Some advise keeping the old turkey hen confined for several weeks after hatching, but I never had very good success when they were kept up longer than four or five days. I take mine when they are two or three days old and put them down in the pasture, which is covered with short Japan clover and carpet grass. They get pretty well drabbled sometimes; but they tell their mother about it, and she sits down and covers them till they get warm, when they start to racing after grasshoppers again. Some advise using only two-year, or older, stock for breeding purposes; but I do not see much difference in the number, raised from two-year or older stock, and the number, raised from one-year-old stock or younger—Progressive Farmer. AILMENTS OF CALFHOOD. The durability of rugged constitutions is an imperative requisite for the long and strong pull that must be demanded of a profitable worker, and badly ventilated, damp calf pens are not calculated to promote vigorous health and thrift. There is little doubt that humid and filthy quarters are responsible for at least one-third of the ailments of calfhood. Overfeeding, too rich food and irregularity in feeding may safely be credited with another third, while one-half if not three-quarters of the remainder of these dependent creatures are debilitated from drinking from unclean pails, and the balance are victims of colds, thoughtless neglect and well meant but unskilled doctoring, for a calf's stomach is always weak in proportion to its body and requires rest rather than the overtaxing exertion of digesting various kinds of nostrums.—Weekly Witness. HOG RAISING. Will you give me assistance in reference to hog-raising on impoverished lands where corn is the principal feed, and where the hogs have to rustle for themselves, getting little or no attention, except at farrowing. Berkshires will not thrive under these conditions, as I have given them a trial which has proved a flat failure. I think grades would thrive under the above conditions better than pure breeds. Could you suggest the proper grades to use, or cross of pure breeds, or a pure breed which would thrive under these conditions? W. B. D. Your difficulty is not so much with the breed as with the care and conditions under which they are kept. The domestic hog in its profitable form is a highly specialized animal and must have an abundance of good food. You could not expect grades of good quality to do much if any better than pure breeds. If you must keep swine under these conditions we would suggest the large Yorkshire, but you will find that they will be late in maturing and will not fatten readily if they are made to roam over poor pastures and feed only on corn.—Country Gentleman. With the Funny Fellows For nature I've a yearning now; I want to see and milk a cow; to hear the cattle low; to hear the rooster crow; to hear my fly line swish; to catch a good sized fish; to frolic with the lambs; to dig and dig for clams; to wander by the brooks; to sit in leafy nooks; to hear the bullfrogs snore; to hear the bullocks roar; to hear the katydid; Of lift the blessed lid Of this routine day after day; I want, I want—to get away.

Her Nice Quality. "She seems like a very nice girl." "One whom it would be safe to marry?" "Oh, no. No girl is safe enough for that. But she's nice enough to think about marrying."

"Everything he gets his hands on he runs-and throws into the waste-basket!"—Lippincott's. Equipment. Dashaway—"I'm going to a house party. Wonder what I need to take along?" Cleverton—"About a quart of five-dollar gold pieces to tip the servants with, a flannel-shirt, dress suit, pajamas and a half dozen engagement rings."—Life. Dispelling His Fear. Collector (warmly) — "I've been here a dozen times, sir, and I positively won't call again!" Mr. Poorpay (cheerfully) — "Oh, come, now, old man, don't be so superstitious about making the thirteenth call; nothing will happen, I assure you." — Pück. A Diplomatic Tramp. "Why don't you vamoose? I said no." "Ah, madam, a beautiful woman's no offing means yes." He even got the cold bite for which he was pleading, and it was even warmed over for him.—Louisville Courier-Journal. One Point in His Favor. A witty priest was once visiting a "self-made" millionaire, who took him to see his seldom used library. "There," said the millionaire, pointing to a table covered with books, "there are my best friends." "Ah," replied the witt; as he glanced at the leaves, "I'm glad you don't cut them!"—Pick-Me-Up. Towne — "Do you believe in dreams?" Browne — "I used to, but I don't any more." Towne — "Not as superstitious as you were, eh?" Browne — "Oh, it wasn't a question of superstition. I was in love with one once, and she filted me." — Catho-Standard and Times.
