FIRE SWEEPS BIG TREES Calaveras Grove, One of Wonders of World, in Peril. "MOTHER OF FOREST" BURNED Famous Tree Was 327 High, With a Trunk 78 Feet in Circumference, and Will Take Weeks to Consume it. Sonora, Cal. — The Calaveras group of big trees, one of the natural wonders of the world, is in serious danger of destruction by fire. Starting from sparks thrown off by an engine used to haul logs, the fire quickly spread to the heavy timber a mile west of the north grove of big trees. All the forest rangers in the district were quickly gathered and they, together with the settlers, many visitors living in camps around and in the grove and the employees of the Big Tree hotel, have fought the flames ever since. The dead giants, however, will probably be destroyed. Already, "The Mother of the Forest," a great dead hulk, at the edge of the grove, is afame, and like a great glowing torch is threatening its living neighbors, "The Mother" lies 327 feet long, with a trunk 78 feet in circumference, and it will take perhaps weeks for the flames to consume it. The destruction of the big grove would be little short of a calamity. The only specimen of the Sequoias gigantea, or big trees, are those found in California, and there are but four groups of these, containing many notable trees. The Calavera grove is probably the most remarkable. The fire burned the south side of Alpine ridge, and a large force of men turned out to light it. Later it broke out in three places, and, fanned by a strong wind, again turned toward the great grove. Soon a blaze was seen to break from the top of General Grant, one of the finest of the giant trees. The upper branch of Garfield, standing nearby, also caught fire, but the fire did not burn lower down in either of these trees. People in the vicinity are much distressed, and have turned out for miles to assist the forest rangers. It is believed that no one has perished although deep and mortals are fleeing from the country. A mountain lion and a deer were seen running side-by side, paying no attention to each other. Intent only on saving their lives. STATUS OF BOLL WEEVIL. Special Investigation by Bureau of Entomology. Dallas, Texas.—The United States bureau of entomology, has just completed a special investigation to determine the exact present status of the boll, weevil. In this work entomologists have, visited thirty-four representative localities. Of these localities twenty-four were in Texas, seven in Louisiana, two in Oklahoma, and one in Arkansas. The result of the examination indicates the damage by the weevil to be considerably less this year than in 1907. Another important indication is that the damage by the boll will not offset the reduced damage by the boll weevil. At each of the places visited careful examinations were given a number of fields which were selected to represent the general condition of the locality. In almost all cases fields were visited that had been examined early in the season and also during previous years. SEVEN MILLION WOMEN. Council Now Said to Have That Membership—Opens in Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.—The international council of women, which was organized by American women at the Chicago world's fair in 1893, and whose membership totals about 7,000, 400, representing all parts of the world, met here. The work of the council was preliminary to the great congress of women to be held next year at Toronto, Canada. The American delegates present were Mrs. Kate Barrett, the vice president of the American council, and the Rev. Anna Shaw. LEPER GETS PENSION. Legal Difficulties Surround Plan, But Will Be Overcome. Washington, D. C.-John R. Early, the Washington leper, will receive a pension of $72 a month for total disability incurred while a soldier in the United States army. The case has been placed in the hands of the judge advocate general of the army for the solution of the problem of the payment of a pension to a leper who cannot, by reason of his affliction, dispense with the money. BLACKMAILED PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Frenchman Sought Money By Trying to Scare the President. Bordeaux, France.—An extraordinaire story was told at the courtmartial of a member of the military ambulance corps, Camille Marquet, who was charged with attempting to blackmail President Roosevelt. According to the evidence before the court, Marquet wrote to the president on January 9, demanding on behalf of "my society," without other specifications, $2,000 "on account of services rendered during the presidential election" and promising further "immense help." The president handed the letters to the president, with the French police. OF POLITICAL INTEREST. It is announced that Mr. Bryan will not come into the south during the campaign, but will devote all his time to the doubtful states. "It puts a premium on reckless banking and is an inducement to reckless banking." Thus said Mr. Taft in response to a direct question, state what, in his opinion, is the vital objection to the proposed plan to guardy deposits in national banks. Eugene W. Chafin, prohibitionist candidate for president, in a speech at Minneapolis, Minn., said: "If I am elected president of the United States and inaugurated on the 4th day of next March, I will call a special session of the congress of the United States the next day and ask the members to legislate the liquor traffic out of existence." The prediction of increased strength in the national prohibition movement this year is based on the remarkable galnas that local prohibition has made in a large number of states. At the beginning of the year there were six prohibition states in the union—Malne, Georgia, North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Alabama. A monument in the Bethel cemetery, near Montgomery, Mo., has this memorable appeal for Mr. Bryan as an epitah for the late B. H. Norris: "Kind friends, I've left behind, Cast your vote for W. J. Bryan." Sacred to the memory of B. H. Norris, died April 9, 1900. Age 50 years, - Arrangements for William H. Taft's trip to Toledo, where he will attend the G. A. R. reunion, have been completed. A special car will carry Mr. Taft, correspondents and secretaries and, speeches will be made from the car platform. On occasion to his visit, to his birthplace at Salem, W. J. Bryan was greeted by an immense crowd, Mr. Bryan inspected the Bryan-Bennett library given by himself and Phil C. S. Bennett, to the city of Salem. The library is built on the spot on which was located the house in which Mr. Bryan was born. William Randolph Hearst on being asked to resign from the Iroquois club a democratic organization of San Francisco, sent in his resignation, together with a letter in which he stated that he was no longer a democrat and asked the club members: "Are you 1902 democrats, or 1906 democrats, or 1900 democrats, or 1904 democrats, or are you 1908 democrats. Are you Parker democrats or are you Bryan democrats?" A statement has been issued by Toreaner Haakell of the democratic campaign committee acknowledging $19,458 turned in to the campaign fund by five daily newspapers and The Commoner. Mr. Bryan's paper. Union labor's equation in the democratic national campaign and the plans that have been formulated by officers of the American Federation of Labor to swing the labor vote to William J. Bryan, were subject matters of a series of conferences in Washington, D. C., between National Chairman Norman E. Mack and Samuel Compers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Secretary Morrison, of the Federation, and President McConnell, of the Machinists' union. Mr. Taft is spending the week on Middle Bass island in Lake Erie fishing and resting before starting on a speech-making trip in Maryland. A large bale of hay reached Lincoln, Neb. from the Bryan-Bailley club of Forney, Texas, addressed to the man who keeps the democratic mule, Lincoln, Neb. It was delivered to the mule who seemed to appreciate it. The officials of the Georgia State fair have written Mr. Bryan offering to contribute $50 a week to the democratic campaign fund for the privilege of exhibiting the famous democratic trick mule, at the state fair in Georgia. It is said that in the event of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, making speeches during the campaign favoring Mr. Bryan, Secretary Strauss, of the department of commerce and labor would answer the arguments for the republicans. "If elected I shall call the Sixty-first congress together in extraordinary session to revise the tariff at the very earliest moment I have authority to do so. I consider such action to be my obligation under the tariff plank of the republican platform." The foregoing is William H. Tatt's statement made in expressing his views regarding the revision of the tariff. Mr. Bryan will make a determined effort to place New York state in the democratic column. He will speak in New York city, Syracuse and Rochester, between September 16 and 20, and early in October will again speak in New York city and in Buffalo. Mr. Taft has rolled the plan to get him into the West Virginia republican tangle. He has refused politely the invitation to "visit a few prominent West Virginia towns in the mountain resort thirty miles from Hot Springs." The refusal is of such a manner as to smooth the feelings of both factions. He gives as the reason that a visit would be misconstrued. It is said in New York that Tamany Hall will not support Martin W. Littleton for governor of that state. This comes as a surprise to the democrats of New York. In American politics none of the minor parties has enjoyed so long a life as the prohibition party. For more than 35 years a prohibition national ticket has been in the field at every presidential election. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SEVEN PEOPLED DROWNED Summer Visitors are Lost While Boating at Deer Island. BOAT- CARRIED NO BALLAST Gale Struck Craft It Capixed. Three Men Saved Were Unable to Help Others on Account High Sea. Deer Isle, Maine.—Seven summer visitors out of a party of seven were drowned by the capizing of a 35-foot sock in Penobscot Bay, off this island. The drowned are: Miss Alice Torro, Washington, D. C.; Miss Eleanor Toro, Washington, D. C.; Miss Kellog, Baltimore; Lutle Kellogg, Baltimore; Mrs. Lucy S. Crawley, Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth G. Evans, Mount Hollyoke Seminary, Massachusetts; Jason C. Hutchins, of Bangor. Those saved were; Captain Haskell, Deer Isle; Professor Edward Crawley, Philadelphia, husband of Mrs. Crawley, Henry B. Evans, Mt. Hollyoke, brother of Miss Elizabeth Evans. With Captain Samuel Haskell, the party of light-hearted summer people started out for a sail in Penobscot Bay. The wind was from the southwest and squally. The sloop was of the "open" variety. It had no deck forward and no cabin, and it contained no ballast, as the party of ten weighted the boat down quite heavily, and Captain Haskell, an experienced navigator in these waters, thought that the craft would be well filled. The party had scarcely been gone an hour before the wind freshened up, keeling the sloop well over, and dashing the spray upon the occupants. All the party were perched high on the weather side, as the sleop cut through the waves with the water almost coming over the gunwales on the lee side, when Captain Haskell gave a shout of warning that he was going to tack and then threw over the tiller. Just at this moment the boat rose high up on a wave, exposing her to the full brunt of the wind. An unusually heavy gust struck her and in a twinkling the sloop went over on her beam ends, and the party of ten were thrown into the water. For one brief moment it was every one for one's self. Weighted down with their water-soaked clothes and chilled through by the cold water, the women were unable to keep themselves afloat. Some had grabbed the person nearest them by the neck and in some instances they had gone down together, clasped in each other's arms. The three men in the tender found that they were almost an incapable of giving assistance in their boat as if they had been in the water. Of the rest, of the party-but two were in sight and the boat was headed for them. They were Lute Kellogg and Miss Evans. They were unconscious, and although the rescuers worked vigorously over them all efforts to restore life failed. The bodies were taken ashore. UNIQUE FIGURE IN HISTORY. General Diaz, of Mexico, Cannot Get Away. City of Mexico, Mexico.—From the state of San Luis Potosi comes the first boom of the candidacy of General Diaz for another term as president, the first announcement of the plan of the people to force the president the acceptance of another term for the completion of the work he has begun. It comes in the form of a proclamation signed by citizens calling upon the states of the republic to agree upon a date, and in special audience present to the president the claims of the Mexican people upon his services for another term of six years. The election takes place in 1910. President Diaz has said he would not again be a candidate. He has served for thirty years. ANOTHER CANDIDATE ACCEPTS Hisgen Formally Notified by the Independence Party. New York City.—Thomas, L. Hisgen, independence party candidate for president, was notified of his nomination by that party. It was originally planned to notify John. Temple Graves, the party's candidate for vice president, at the same time, but Mr. Graves was not able to be present on account of poor health. Henry A. Powell of New York made the notification address—and Mr. Hisgen in accepting stated that he regarded his nomination as a call to public service. Mr. Hisgen went right into the main issues of the campaign, and gave a vigorous outline of the principles and policies he stands for. Government Cotton Crop Report. Washington, D. C:The crop report of the department of agriculture shows that the average condition of the cotton crop on August 25 was 76.1 per cent of a normal. This compared with 83 on July 25, lest; 72.2 on August 25, 1907; 77.3 on August 25, 1908; and 73.9 the average of August 25 conditions for the past ten years. Fears For Safety of Ship. San Francisco, Cal.—Gravet fears are entertained for the safety of the British steamer Acon, which cleared from this port for Sydney and has not yet arrived here. The steamer Lord Sefton, of the same ing, has arrived at Auckland and reports no sign of the Acon. PREDICTS A RECORD CROP. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Optimistic as to the Outlook. Washington, D. C.—Just before leaving Washington for his farm in Iowa, Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture, said that this year's crops would exceed any ever produced in former years. This statement he said, he was willing to make not from hearsay, alone, but from facts which he had gathered from every section of the United States. *That the secretary is not guessing about the yield this year is borne out by the fact that the corn crop, according to present estimates, will yield $7,000,000 bushels, which, if sold to 72 cents a bushel, the September price, will bring in $1,700,000. *The wheat crop, with a yield of about 675,000 bushels, at 93 cents, per bushel, will amount to $637,000-000. *The cotton crop, which promises to be at least 13,000,000 bales, will, if sold for 9 1-2 cents per pound, bring in $600,000,000. All the crops of the last year were estimated by the government ofay estimated by the department of agriculture at a calculation of $7,412,000,000 on the farm, and, in view of the large yield this year and the good prices generally obtained, it is only reasonable to expect that this year the farmers will produce net wealth worth at least $8,000,000,000. If not more. This amount has never yet been realized from the sale of farm products. The farmers of the United States, as a whole, are in a better financial condition than they have ever been before, according to statistics secured by the census bureau and given to Secretary Wilson, and, since fewer mortgages exist, they will be enabled to do still better next year by being able to pay cash for all supplies and other commodities required in their work. From the far western states, here the large hay and corn crops are made, and where thousands of bushels of the yellow grain are soon to be housed and later turned into money, reports come that the farmers are preparing to take advantage of the present good times by enlarging their holding, erecting new buildings and generally investing their earnings to better advantage. Just as Mr. Wilson was leaving Washington he called a number of workers in the agricultural department into his private office, and to them and a group of newspaper men said that from all indications there would be excellent harvests this fall, that money would be plentiful and that every one, especially the farmers, should be thankful for the bountiful yield. GENERAL A. P. STEWART DEAD. Was Lieutenant General in the Confederate States Army. Bloxiol, Miss.—General Alexander P. Stewart, one of the last two surviving leutenants general of the confederate states army, died at his home here. Although in his eighty-seventh year, and suffering from the infirmities of old age, General Stewart's death was sudden, and came as a distinct shock and surprise to his relatives, comrades and friends. Death was due to heart disease. General Stewart was a native of Tennessee, and lived the greater part of his life in that state, but of late years had been making his home in Bloxiol. When the civil war broke out, Stewart was one of the earliest volunteers in the confederate army. He offered his services to Isham G. Harris, then governor of Tennessee, who made him a major in the artillery. General Stewart participated in many of the battles during the war, being especially active in the Tennessee campaign and in the battles around Atlanta General Stewart's death leaves only General-Simon Bolivar Buckner as the only surviving lieutenant general of the confederate states army. PLAN TO TEACH WOMEN To Alight From Street Car Facing Front, instead of Rear. Chicago, Ill.—A device for the purpose of making women get off a street car without facing backward is being tried by the Chicago City Railway company. The scheme was discovered in connection with the pay-as-you enter type of cars, which have a handle on the front door. Observing inspectors found that women in alighting seized the handle and, clinging to it, swung around to the outside door, alighting with their faces toward the rear. The remedy consists of the removal of the handle. Under the new plan the door is opened by a mechanical device operated by the motorman. The passenger has nothing to grasp except a handle at the forward end of the step, and seemingly cannot help facing forward when leaving the car. STANDARD FIRE INSURANCE Special Committee to Consider Proposition of Simplified Form. Detroit, Mich.-Action of great interest to insurance officials and fire insurance men all over the country, was taken by the national convention of insurance commissioners, when a resolution was adopted calling for the appointment of a special committee which will make an exhaustive consideration of the question of the desirability of a simplified form of standard fire insurance policy. The committee will invite conferences with all interested persons and report at the next annual meeting of the insurance commissioners, which seems likely to be held in Colorado Springs. MINERS STRIKE SETTLED NEWS RECEIVED WITH JOY All Strikers Will Be Re-Employed Except Those Who Have Committed Acts of Lawlessness. Birmingham, Ala.—An official order calling off the strike of coal miners in the Birmingham district was issued to all the camps in this section. It was signed by President Lewis, Vice President White and Secretary-Treasurer Ryan, national officers of the United Mine Workers of America. The order ends a strike began July 6, and which has been marked by much violence. The news was received with great reolicing in Birmingham. The official order, after reviewing the history of the strike pays: "The climax was reached when the governor of Alabama said that the miners shall not be permitted to live in workplaces without public meetings shall not be held in the mining communities of the state during this strike. In other words, the strike must end; regardless of the cost to the miners or any rights they have in the premises. "The United Mine Workers of America is a law-abiding institution. It is a defender of law and order. It believes in the maintenance of the peace and tranquility of every community. "Since the state authorities have decided to end the strike there is nothing for the United Mine Workers to do but to bow in submission to the mandates. Recognizing the futility of continuing the strike under those circumstances, we have decided to declare it off September 1st, and take this means of notifying you that the strike is to be brought to an end and you are advised to secure employment. "So one can regret more keenly than ourselves this ending of the strike in Alabama. "The United Mine Workers, as an organization, will do now as it always has done for its striking members—assist those in need, and help those who cannot secure employment to go elsewhere." The end of the strike means that practically all the miners in Bidlingham district will be on a non-union basis. No conferences between officials of the union and officials of the operators' association were held in Birmingham. It is known, however, that operators will take back all the men, except those who have committed acts of lawlessness. COTTON CROP SLOW TO OPEN. Damage Caused by Flood—Boll Weevils Active in Louisiana Memphis, Tenn.-The Commercial Appeal's weekly crop summary is as follows: Reports of the two Carolinas show that with the close of the week many of the lowlands were still under water. The crop on these lands has been damaged, but to what extent has not been determined. The area covered by water was not large. In many districts the cotton is raised on the uplands and the corn in the bottoms. The rains were long-continued and the grade of the open cotton the uplands were lowered, but other counties in northeastern Georgia were affected by floods. The Georgia crop is opening rapidly and the outturn is not so heavy as was earlier antichallion. The crop in northern Alabama and Tennessee is excellent. There are no complaints, and only some unusual weather development can prevent a large yield. In the southern half of Alabama and Mississippi moderate deterioration has taken place, due principally to shedding. Reports, however, indicate that this complaint is less general than one week ago. Both counties are active almost throughout the state of Louisiana and are the cause of much damage and apprehension. Elsewhere they are not a factor. MURDERER COMMITTED SUICIDE. Became Insane as Result of Killing Wife and Son. Clay City, Ill.-Insane as the result of having slain his wife and wounded his son, Julius Turner, a farmer, committed suicide in the county jail here. He hated himself with the sheets from his cot. The shooting of Mrs. Turner and her son occurred June 29. The murder was the result of Insane jealousy on the part of the husband. The son was mistaken for a rival and he and his mother were shot while they were standing in the dark just outside the village church. Building Statistics Issued. Washington, D. C.-The total cost of the buildings erected in the principal cities of the United States in 1907 was $661,076,286, a net decrease of $17,634,683 from the figures of 1906. In the cities showing a decrease in building, New York takes the lead, with a falling off of $141,591,982; or 26.94 per cent. Is a Brother of Czolgosz.

A shortage of upwardward of $10,000 has been discovered in the bureau of supplies and vouchers in the general postoffice at Havana, of which Senor Rodriguez is chief. Rodriguez has not been seen in Havana and secret service police are unable to locate him. Rodriguez held the same post as Charles F. Nellly, who was convicted of extensive frauds during the first American intervention. The postponement until 1817 of the Japanese international exposition, which was to have been held in 1912, was officially announced. This postponement required a pompous reasons, and to the lack of time to make the proper preparation for the exposition. The date fixed is the fifteenth anniversary of the succession of the emperor.

The Argentine republic is preparing for war with Brazil, according to information reaching the state department at Washington. To officials of Argentine there is apparently no worry about the recent order by the government of Brazil for the building of three powerful warships of the Dreadnaught type. It turns out that the protests by the Brazilian naval authorities that the ships were intended for Brazil and not for sale to any other power, is probably correct, and they are part of the armament with which Brazil proposes in the near future to make war upon Argentine republic. Argentine is making preparations to meet the situation and the chamber of deputies have voted $500,000 for armaments. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The undisputed Treasure of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received from the Secretary of the State of Georgia the following described: Dear Regent and Person of Inquiry, Eleventy, Georgia (Republican Party) 17th, 10th, anniversary, seal of Dimitri Bendelovski (5000) anniversary, date 1920 being in total Two Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the State of Georgia by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 22d , 1887 , and amended December 27th , 1887 . Public Opinion Prevails Over The Common Law By Roscoe Pound, of Nevada, President of the American Ear Association AW is no longer anything sacred or mysterious. Judicial decisions are investigated and discussed freely by historians, economists and sociologists. The doctrines announced by the courts are debated by the press and have even been death with in political platforms. Laymen know full well that they may make laws and that knowledge of the law is no necessary prerequisite of far-reaching legislation. The legislative steam-roller levels the just rule with the unjust in the public anxiety in law out a new road. The introduction of the doctrine of comparative negligence in employer's liability statutes and recent statutes leaving questions of negligence wholly to juries, or, in other words, cutting off all assurance that like cases involving negligence will receive a like decision, the common law doctrine, at least as explained to the people, did not commend themselves to the public intelligence. In such cases, something is to be done; and it is done too often with but little understanding of the old law, mischief or remedy. But we have no right to rail at such miscarriages. The public must move in such legal light as the luminaries of the law afford. We must not make the mistake in American legal education of creating a permanent gulf between legal thought and popular thought. We may commit this mistake merely by teaching legal pseudo-science and obsolete philosophy, quite as much as by the more prevalent method of saying nothing about these matters at all, leaving the student to pick pp what he may here and there in the cases and texts, with no hint that there are other conceptions and theories entertained by scholars of no small authority, and to go forth in the belief that he is completely trained. In all cases of divergence between the standard of the common law and and the standard of the public, it goes without saying that the latter will prevail in the end. Sooner or later what public opinion demands will be recognized and enforced by the courts. A bench and bar trained in individualist theories and firm in the persuasion that the so-called legal justice is an absolute and a necessary standard, from which there may be no departure without the destruction of the legal order, may retard, but cannot prevent progress to the newer standard recognized by the sociologist. In this progress lawyers should be conccious factors; not unconscious followers of popular thought, not conscious obstructors of the course of legal development. To this end it is the duty of teachers of law, while they teach scrupulously the law that the courts administer, to teach it in the spirit, and from the standpoint of the political, economic and sociological learning of to-day. It is their task to create in this country a true sociological jurisprudence, to develop a thorough understanding between the people and the law, to insure that the common law remain, what its truest exponents have always insisted it is—human reason.

Says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Iceland becomes a free and independent state again; that the seed of liberty sown during the days of the republic and dormant 700 years brings forth new fruit. The men who have peopleled its rugged coast have had to fight with nature for everything they got. Life to them has been a stern reality and they looked at it soberly. Had the island been one of the nature's garden spots where man had only to reach out his hand to take the bounty nature provided, the very ease with which a living was to be had would have smothered the traits that have made the Icelander what he has been through all the centuries.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Agents Wanted Everywhere Leave Savannah..... 5.00 P. M. Arrive Helena..... 9.15 P. M.

Jealousy as-a-Fatal Disease ] The'Institute of Science at Limoges Finds a Real Case, ant Declares That the Complaint May Naturally. End in Deatt - The faculty of tho Institute of Sci. ence at Limoges, France, has recent ly decided that man—and, presum. ably woman—is Hable to die of ax acute attack of Jealousy, just as tt now agreed by medical experts that & human being may dle of a broken heart, in the physical sense of the word. 2 . Investigators in the laboratory of the Limoges Institute-declare that the passion of jealousy 1s paycho-physical that #5, that it first arises in the brain and is transmitted to the car- diac region, whence other parts of the system are affected so as to cre- ate 9 specific area of disease. This (disease, as, will be shown presently; can be traced from the brain down _the spinal column to the parts of the body which are affected, and its pres. ence can be duly attested from the act that the tissue In the Ine of the imalady’s operations shows distinct signs of attrition or wearing away. + Such evidence would find its cor- roboration in the experience of any ‘who have ever—and what buman fheing has not?—suffered from the feeling of jealousy. The sufferer Is jpaintully conscious of a gnawing or ‘consuming sensation within him. In jeertain areas—the sensorial centre, ‘particularly—the brain seems to burn, the ‘exact sensation being not ‘unlike that of expansion arising from heat which is about to foree an ex- plosion, So it is that the lover, in his jealous fits, talks of his heart “bursting” with Jealousy. An explanation afforded of thls psycho-physical pheromenon {s_ the following: In matters of love it is swell known that the judgment and understanding are obscured. For this there is a physical and a medi- cally-explained cause which does ‘away wholly with the romantic as- ‘pect of the lover's much-sung mala- ‘ay. Memory and the senses play an ‘Smportant part in Jealousy, as we all Amow. It Is shown that an excess of (blood ts drawn to the memory and sensorial areas, with the result that the other parts of the brain are badly ‘supplied, owing to the unusual ac- ‘ivity of tho two in question. Any attempt to exert the faculties of judgment and -understanding must wonsequently be d\forced effort, caus- ing all that loss of tissue which Is in- warlably associated with the exertion pt force that is not spontaneous or supported by good-will. Poverty of Dlood in the sufferer renders the con- ‘aition of the Jealous one all the more painful and acute, since the other faculties of the brain are deprived ‘of proper blood-nutrition and oxygen- tion. Consequently, in cases of ex- reme pain or suffering arising from jealousy, the patient’s normal fac- ties are so dead and the memory past enjoyments with the object of his love so disproportionately active ‘that the mental balance is entirely mpset—a condition which soon reacts _ ,U. S. SECRET SERVICE. ‘Its< Unwarraniable Employment in ls Tinpsoner Ware. SS al eet Cia Since time out of mind the Treas- sury Department has had in {ts em- “ploy, by due authority of law, a ‘corps of detectives to hunt down ‘counterfelters and do similar work against dangerous criminals. Lately “the Department of Justice has “formed a habit” of “borrowing” ‘these secret service men to go about tthe country on all sorts of quests, ‘some right, some wrong. } Congress has awakened to this “new use of secret service men and to ‘the way they perform: the duties as- bigned to them. The result is grave thisgivings, and steps are now in pro- “‘gress to forbid the transfer of the secret service men from their legiti- mate duties to unusual work under ‘the Attorney-General, No wonder. Whose men aro not as a rule angels ‘of light, The adage, “Set a thief to ‘catch a thief” is too often kept fully An view in selecting these sleuths. In- ‘deed, there has been an extension of ‘eis policy, and in some Instances the Department of Justice has sent out ‘homicides, If not actual murderers, o harass innocent men as well as to yun down criminals. The usual ‘sleuth and many of the special prose- {cutors are of such character that it ts safe to allow them to act duly wunder Immediate and careful super- \wislon by some officer of Just dispo- ‘sition and well-balanced mind. ‘We have referred to this subject before in connection with proceed- ings agalust innocent business men ‘of Los Angeles, who were indicted for no other reason than that they tmight be “used” to give testimony ‘needed by the,sleuths to convict per- sons. The subject fs referred to now to congratulate the country that Con- ‘gress has at last seen St to take cog- nizance of this matter in such a way ‘as will limit the use. of legal blood- jhounds and keep them under more ‘careful surveillance. An application pf the same policy to the use of spec- Yat prosecutors would do as much tgood as this leashing of some of the ulldogs. ‘The prosecutors need ven'more discretion than the sleuths. {There are some of these whose war- fants against the treasury run in’ a short period as high as $60,000, and qwho have less discretion than a good ‘dog-catcher and less consclence than the dogs he juts in pound.—Los An- geles Times, _ The most expensive pubiication, with the least income, In* Now :York (City 1s the City Record, which will fost New York $1,174,500 this year, jupon the body, producing irresponsi- bility for one's acts,,as wall as that peculiar kind of stupor or half- drunkenness frequently evident in the motions or the speech, sd familiar to those who have been affected. The French Institute dealt re- cently with the case of a death from Jedlousy, the victim belng a cashtor in a business house, Martia by name. Aged twenty-cight, Martin was, or hag been, physically a perfect type of manhaod. For two years he had paid his addresses to a young woman who appeared to reciprocate his af- fections. Some months before thelr intended marriage, the woman proved falso and deserted her lover for an- other man. A normally-constituted man, and in excellent health, Mar- tin did not allow bis grief to prevent him continuing his professfonal work. He endeavored with al] his will to lve down his unhappiness, avoiding all excesses, abstaining totally from alcohol, and keeping the brain so cool that {t was thought he would soon recover from his ill;starred heart-af- Ee Despite the exercise of bis Will, however, Martin, who was a sensitive soul, could ‘not forget. ‘The memory of his lost girl was always with him and soon, owing to loss of interest in his work, he-was forced to leave his employment. The old remedy of “change of scene, cte..” was recom- mended to him, ‘but without avail. Martin could not forget. Neither did he pine away, for ho retained his usual robustness to the end; but he died. No malady known to medical selence could be given, as the cause of his decay, and It was therefore rex solved to hold’ a post-mortem. It was found that the heart, far from shbwing signs of being In that condition which we call “broken,” was healthy, all but fn the case ot certain ventricular muscles which lay directly In the plane of communt- cation with the sensory nerves. The ventricles showed an abnormal dis- tention which could be traced Mke- wise in the nerve lines of the verte- bral column, or spine, Along this column a distinct ine of sub-inflam- matory nezve-tissue could be traced ‘right into the sensory parts of the ‘brain, which were shown to have suffered from acute Inflammation. A ‘corresponding contraction of other parts of the brain was noted, and of such kind as to produce between the diseased area and the unaffected por- tlons a positive line of demarcation’ denoted by tissue which had the ap~ pearance of belng in ‘process of de composition. Anatomical sclence has as yet pro- vided no definite data to ‘correspond with the psychological symptoms of Jealousy. Yet this case of the French Insfitute would appear to be worthy of consideration as a test of the value of which must be substantiated by the research of other laboratories.—The World. | THE MARINER'S COMPASS. Influences That Draw It From Its aTboataneeitov the Stusneite ‘Poke: Nothing in the navigational equip- ment of a ship has been the subject ef more anxious sclentiic research or receives more jealous care than the mariner's compass. The popular notion of the com- pass needle always pointing to the north and south is—well, more in- accurate than even popular notions usually are, Even under the most favorable conditfons there are only certain places upon the surface of the earth where the compass needle does point north and south, and it {s quite safe to say that such conditions are never found on board any ship. But we must go further and say that no more unfavorable position could be found for a compass than on board of a modern steamship, which is a complicated mass of steel, all tending to draw tho compass needle from Its allegiance to the mag- netism pole of the earth, warring in- fluences which must needs be coun- teracted by all sorts of devices which hedge round the instrument by an Invisible wall of confileting currents ot magnetism. % And as if this were not enough there are now huge dynamos to be reckoned with, producing electric currents for all sorts of purposés on board, In the midst of these mystic, currents the poor Iittle compass needle, upon which the mariner de- pends for his guide across the track- less deep, hangs suspended like one shrinking saint surrounded by Ie- sions of devils.—Windsor Magazine. ‘Well Named.

Lange, .who has given much attention to the question whether married men ot bachelors live the longer, records bis emphatic verdict in favor of'the mar- ried men. He has studied the sick funds * and fnsurance statistfes of Europe and America, and this {s bls solemn contlusfon: Not only do married men live longer, but they are more immune as regards sickness. Lange bas a pile of ‘statistics from places where various epidemics have prevailed, the rauge covering Hamburg, Liverpool, » Chi- cago, Rome, ‘and-in every case, wheth- er the“disease has been cholera, ty- phus, smallpox or measles, the bach- elors have caught the diseaso first, have succumbed first, and show by tar the highest rate of mortality.

Se errr eS | Re ae several matters tending’ tcward the betterment of roads In that State. Among the addresses was‘one by B. F. Taylor, president of the Columbla- Chamber ‘of Commerce, who gave facts which are of general Interest {a connection with highawy improve- ment. Mr. Taylor-said: “Gentlemen: It gives me_great pleasuro to welcome you all.here to- day. The city of Columbia, and’ in fg2t every city, depends more Jargely upon good roads for its prosperity than upon anything else. “Roads are the feeders by which the gsteat popu- lations of citfes are, supplied with the necessities of life and in a great meas- ure the trade of such cities s depend- ent upon the roads for thelr outgoing commerce. There is another aspect of the road question which has arisen in recent years that directly affects the population of cities. These roads are in a great measure the play- grounds of the people,.and in com- munities ke Massachusetts, in addi- tfon to maintainiig the roads, the jcommonwealth provides magnificent parks alongside of them. In this country the density of our population has ‘not reached the point where it is necessary to make artificial parks, for our natural woodlands and streams furnish these fn a more beautiful form than the hand of man can provide. “There {s possibly more Interest taken now in good roads than in any phase of our development, but the United States 1s possibly yet more backward than any country of its size and population in the world. As far back as history-cau record gpgd roads have been one of the principal items of internal Improvement, and in she case of Rome they did not confine this to Italy but etxended the roads to the utmost bounds of the empire. “In this country, where we have been willing to spend large sums of money, inexperience and lack of or- ganization have caused a partial or total waste of the money and in sine sections where the community was fully able to do work it,has not been done, due to a lack of knowledge of "What could be accomplished. Of the $70,000,000 belng expended annually in the United States the greater por- tion is by men who have practically no Knowledge of, road-building and who are acting under systems totally obsolete and inadequate.

Such men are often hard to procure and it therefore 1s absolutely necessary ¢ .at such meetings as we are baving here to-day should be had frequently for the purpose of exchanging {deas and educating the men engaged in this most important work, “Along this line I should Ike to suggest that the cost of roads Is a yery Important item and that for the “purpose of seeing that our roads are “properly constructed at the least pos- sible cost every board of commission- ers should require of the supervison a statement showing the ,cost per square yard of road built ‘under him each year, and this should be com- pared with the tables of cost given by the natfonal Government,-and with those of other supervisors in our State. 4 “It is estimated that the average cost of hauling baled cotton by wagon” from the farm to the market {s fifteen cents per hundred. With better roads ‘this can be reduced to at least ten cents, a saving of five-cents per 100. South Carolina produces five hundred million pounds of lint. cotton. With a saving of five cents per 100 the farmers would save on the cotton ¢rop of this State alone $260,000. “Oth2r crops would probably in- crease this amount to approximately $1,500,000.

Our law makes are having the time of their lives agreeing and dis- agreeing about the above ques- tion and_éhe convict question. Inasmuch as both the questions greatly concern a large portion of our people, itis hoped that from much smoke there“wil break out enough purifying fixe to benefit their condition. Speaxine of the flood in Augus: ta, the Chronicle says: “Treading colored physicians ap- peared before the president of the . board of health Monday morning and offered their services for the benefit of the city’s sick poor. ‘Int yoluftteering their services cthey asked that -the privilege be ted to them to fill their pre: “scriptions at their own and other colored drug stores. The privilege was readily granted them by Dr. Murphy, who expressed apprecia- dion far the.goncrosity and public spirit whick” prompted ‘the offer. . “The co-opération of the colored physicians will considerably light- én the burden of the white city physicians, Fhose ‘services, since the receding‘of the high water, were in cgpstant demand, day and “night. ‘The xolored doctors who yol- ‘unteered theit aid are: G. N. Stoney, G. S. Burrus, W. T. Pritchard, R. C. ‘Williams’and A. N. Gordon.” The action of these physicians wero timely and commendable and goes a long way,towards conyine- ing our white-tpeighbors that we are concerned about the -velfare of the suffering ones among us, While their aotion was“ that of the same class of colored men of any community, yet it is only when such occasions arise, when a com- munity is calamity stricken and the leading elements of all part must come together for mutual benefit and pfotection; that those prejbdiced against us will accept the kindly offices of the race in the spirit in which it is given. ‘Several enterprises are on foot in this city for the benefit of the unfortunite sufferers and it is hop- ed they will all be successful and merged intoa respectable whole so as to really benefit the needy and do-credit to our community. Making Money. | “‘My, Bryan is more of a money maker than is Mr. Taft,” says Al- fred Henry Lewis in one of the August issues of Farm and Fire- side. “‘Not that this should count for or against either. To make money means nothing but money making. It is no sign of an infal- lible intelligence to grow rich. A red squirrel will jump about dur- ing October’s thirty-one days, and lay up enough acorns to support fifty red squirrels fifty years. That red sqirrel doesn’t know why he ‘does this. A. gray’squirrel lays up nothing; and, for the best of ‘it, strolls languidly ‘here and there, and only occasionally tucks an micorn or a hi¢korynut under a ‘leat—tiling it away, as it were, for future reference. One goes into the-snows rich, the other pobdr, by virtue of an instinct; just as some: men make money, and othtrsmake none, by virtue of an instinct. It’s no evidence of brains one way or the other. Dye seen gentlemen in Congress, and very fair statesmen, at that, when they vere not think- ing of «i reelection, who couldn’t have made two dollars a day at any trade or calling in the world. On the opulent other "hand, there be folk who make money as readi- ly as some people make trouble, and who only escape being howl- ing idiots by never howling. Also, there is such a thing as being over- rich. Some wise, good soul ought to go into our colleges and endow a Chair of Trade; not fo teach boys how to make money, but how much meney to make, One can make too much money, just as one can drink too much ram; and so we haye money drunkards, just as we have rum drunkards.” , a NOTABLE SESSION.

Making Baby Beef. The more unsatisfactory the milk situation becomes, the more anxious we are to turn our attention to other branches of farming, which will be more remunerative. If we could take up raising beef or sheep, we should still have our manure and a good profit from our stock without so much worry over the labor problem and trying to meet the difficult requirements of the city people in regard to milk production. Perhaps the most promising new field is that of baby beef. Baby beef is a prime butchers' beast, thoroughly fattened and ripe for the block at from 12 to 24 months of age. Growth has been artificially promoted by continuous heavy feeding from birth, with the object of obtaining in the shortest time possible the maximum weight of well-matured beef. Its essential features are early maturity, quality, finish and thickness of flesh. The next question is, where can we get stock from? We can either raise the stock, ourselves or buy young calves from the range at weaning time, when they will weigh from 350 to 500 pounds, and cost from 4 to 5 cents-a pound. Should we decide to raise our own stock, we should purchase either Hereford, Short-Horn, Angus or Galloway cattle. These need not be registered stock, or at least the cows need not, and should it be found advisable good young grade helfers could be bought in Texas, which if mated to a registered bull would produce excellent stock for baby beef. The next point to consider is how to feed our babies so as to meet the market requirements. What are the requirements? The illustration shows very clearly what are the most valuable cuts to the butcher, and we will do well to bear this in mind when we are raising our young stock. Our calves must be fed for growth from the start and the food provided must be composed of ingredients that can be easily digested. Whole milk, of course, heads this list. This, fed fresh and warm from the cow until weaning time, will produce the best calf for any purpose. This gives the youngster a chance to take a little at a time and often and so avoids overloading their stomachs. At the present prices of milk and labor, it would NECK 24 lbs e 3¢ CHUCK 130 lbs e 6¢ PRIME OF RIB 68 lbs e 14¢ PLAY 112 e 4 SHIN 50 lbs e 4 CHICAGO RETAIL DEALERS' M probably pay to let the calves run with their dams from 4 to 6 months, supplementing this diet with a little shelled corn and oats mixed, after the first few weeks. On the other hand, should any of us bring ourselves to believe that there was any profit in milk at 3 cents, we could, after the first few weeks, milk our cows by Land and feed the calves from a pall. The great point to remember is not to give the youngsters any set-back, wean them gradually and don'torge them. Warfield says: "The weaning is in a great degree a crisis in a calf's life. If cut off from nature's diet too early, bad results not infrequently ensue; but if allowed to go on to that period at which the natural sequence of events the calf would find his milk ration more and more insufficient and his capacity to eat more and more perfect every day, the transition, instead of being violent, is at once natural and easy, and therefore without injurious consequences. The great thing is to keep the growth of the calf from suffering any serious check. If this growth goes right along, all is well. If, however, the weaning is followed by a period of plining and real need of the milk diet, and the calf is for a few weeks unthrify, the effect will be apparent in the animal's after life; for these short periods of retardation in early life count up largely in the sum. This is not an easy matter to impress upon many men, and yet an animal that has an unbroken calfhood of thrifty growth will mature earlier and develop more completely the possibilities of its nature, than another which with equal plumme was suffered to get again and again out of condition by unwise saving in the first months of its life." Perhaps I should have said that the best time to have our calves dropped is in the fall; then by the time the pastures are green the following spring the youngsters are well started and can safely get part of their feed from the fresh grass. Mr. Ritzman, of the United States Department of Agriculture, gives as the best summer combination to furnish a proper balance with good pasture, shelled corn, or a little oats, with an occasional feed of a little cottonseed meal, gluten meal, linseed meal, just to stimulate the appetite, Bluegrass makes the best pasture, and next to that ranks clover or alfalfa, but care should be taken in feeding the clover and alfalfa, at first, until the cattle become accustomed to it, or they may overeat. For winter feed, many, Mr. Ritzman says, have had great success with a ration made up of 15- to 25 pounds of enslage, 3 pounds of corn meal, 2 pounds-wheat bran, and plenty of clover hay. Feed-regularly at stated times; see that nothing is left in the troughs from meal to meal; provide plenty of clean, fresh water, and don't forget the salt. Oats, barley, rye, etc., should be crushed. The following table, compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture, gives an excellent idea of the comparative advantages of producing baby over long-fed beef: ONE STEER. Baby beef.

Prime young beef can be sold right on the farm where they are raised, and the demand far exceeds the supply. This industry is certainly worth considering.—A. D., in The Country Gentleman. "Managing the Hay-Crop." As a rule too many farmers delay the cutting of their hay crop until a large proportion of the feeding value is lost on account of the hay becoming tough and fibrous. Our whole alm should be to cut and cure our hay at a time when it will be the PORTERHOUSE 92 lbs e 20¢ SIRLOIN 34 lbs e 12¢ RUMP 28 lbs e 7¢ ROUND 124 lbs e 8¢ TE lbs 4¢ FLANK 22 lbs 4¢ CHARK 24 lbs METHOD OF CUTTING BEEF. most palatable and the easiest for our animals to digest and assimilate. The analysis of early cut hay and that which is cut later does not justify the cutting of the hay crop early but actual experience in feeding animals will prove that early cut hay will produce better results when fed to all kinds of farm animals than that which is cut later. We may feed our animals on late cut hay during the winter and they will become thin, but when they are turned out on the same grass in the spring they will shed off their old hair and take on a look of prosperity and thrift, even though the same grass contains no more protein nor comes any nearer to producing a balanced ration. How are we to explain this fact? The cattle are not getting a different class of food as far as chemical analysis is concerned, for the dry hay contains the same elements as the pasture grass, but the great difference is due to the succulent condition of the green grass which is in a different condition. In order to make the best possible food out of our hay crop it should be cut when it will come the nearest to approaching the same condition as pasture grass. The nearer this grass can be preserved to the way nature provided it the better food it will make for the farm animals. It is by the feeding of this kind of hay that we are able to get the best development that our animals are capable of making.-Epitomist Fed at a Loss. The hen that eats her head off should have an operation performed on her neck to-prevent further eating; likewise the cow that is not worth her keep should go to the block. The first thing is to determine with accuracy what animals are fed at a loss.—Farmers' Home Journal. Servcd. Sir? "How long has this restaurant been open?" asked the would-be dinner. "Two years," said the proprietor. "I am sorry I did not know it;" said the guest. "I should have been better off if I had come here then." "Yes?" smiled the proprietor, very much pleased. "How is that?" "I should probably have been served by this time if I had," said the guest, and the entente cordiale vanished—Harper's Weekly. What is Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of deprayed mucous membranes lining various organs of the human body. Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron: that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. 15 Send to us for a free book of testimonials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. The Kentucky court of appeals has decided that it's a proper exercise of the State's police power to put a tax on dogs. WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS TO THE BUYER. Few people realize the importance of the words "Trade Mark" stamped on the goods they buy. If they did it would save them many a dollar spent for worthless goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out of business. When a manufacturer adopts a trade mark he assumes the entire responsibility for the merit of his product. He takes his business reputation in his hands—out in the limelight—"on the square" with the buyer of his goods, with the dealer, and with himself. The other manufacturer—the one who holds out "inducements," offering to brand all goods purchased with each local dealer's brand—sidesteps responsibility, and when these inferior goods "come back" it's the local dealer that must pay the penalty. A good example of the kind of protection afforded the public by a trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Company's advertising of pure White Lead as the best paint material. That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark is an absolute guaranty of purity in-White Lead is proved to the most skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow-pipe and instruction to the company to build their themselves. The testing outfit is being sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Building. Tricks of the Parla Beggar. This city is the happy hunting ground of the beggar, and especially at the New Year. He stops you at every corner of the street; he tries to hand you out of your carriage the moment you stop before shop or restaurant. It is partly the influence of the season, but it is an evil that is always with us more or less. Some have quite ingenious tricks to tempt the pity of the passer by. One lady, who is well known, declares every evening at the Gare. St. Lazare to any sympathetic looking stranger that she is a governess, and has lost her purse, and would the kind gentleman lend her thirty celtimes. "And be pleased to give me your card;" she adds, "so that I may return the money." The ruse generally succeeds, but the mendicant has never been known to take the omnibus, except at the close of a profitable evening, when she has probably victimized a dozen good natured persons. Another woman who plies her singular industry in the Place de la Concuria, addresses herself exclusively to her own sex. As a result, she obtains as much as five or ten francs "rum bindly matrons who are touched by her story. At the New Year the usual crop of beggars is so immensely increased that one supposes that the comparatively well off must descend into the street to try their luck. No doubt it is a "metier" that has its fascinations, especially if it be but temporary.—Paris correspondence Pall Mall Ga- REMAINS THE SAME The flavour of Postum, when boiled according to directions, is always the same—mild, distinctive, and palatable. It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times. "Belleving that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache and mlsery in many ways," writes an Ind. lady, "I. quit and bought a package of Postum about a year ago. "My husband and I have been so well pleased that we have continued to drink Postum ever since. We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as it has always the same pleasant flavour, while coffee changes its taste with about every new combination or blend. "Since using, Postum I have had no more attacks of gall colic, the heaviness has left my chest, and the old, common, every-day headache is a thing unknown." "There's a Reason."

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 1 New York City.—The blouse that is simply tucked is one of the prettiest that young girls can wear and this season. it is greatly in vogue 10 made with collar and cuffs of lace as illustrated. In this case it matches the skirt and the material is dotted Swiss muslin, but the model suits the 55 odd waist quite as well as it does the entire frock and is adapted to every seasonable walsting. The blouse is made with front and backs and with -moderately full sleeves. The lower edges of these last are gathered into narrow cuffs for elbow length, into deep cuffs, that fit the forearms snugly after the latest fashion, for long sleeves. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is three and one-eighth yards twenty-four, two and three-eighth yards thirty-two or one and three-quarter yards forty-two inches wide with three and seven-eighth yards of insertion, one yard of ruffling to trim as illustrated, seven and one-eighth yards of insertion for the deep cuffs if these are used. For Stormy Days. It is a great relief to know that when hot weather comes, and it is necessary to wear a raincoat, we will not have to wear those heavy silk affairs, either in white, or any other color that have been worn for so long. The new raincoats are of rubberized pongee, just as waterproof as the strongest rubber, but light and cool, and fairly becoming in their soft lines. Facing Often Matches Feathers Black picture hats, trimmed with long ostrich feathers chosen in pale pastel shades of blue and pink, leaf-green and illac, are enjoying-a great vogue at the moment. Sometimes feathers in two or three of these pastel colors are seen grouped together on one and the same hat, but a more surely successful result is obtained when the feathers are selected in one shade, or in several tones of the same shade. The embroidered edge to the gloves is so light and lacy looking, buttonholed in scallops as a finish, that one could not help thinking what pretty work it would be to decorate plain silk gloves one's self, and save almost half the cost of those already ornamented. Four Gored Skirt. The skirt that is perfectly smooth over the hips while it is gracefully full at the lower portion is the one that is most in demand for walking and general wear. This one includes that essential feature and is nqvel at the same time, being made with wedge shaped panels that are laid under the gores and which allow of treatment of various sorts. In this case the skirt is made of mohair and is trimmed with silk braid and little buttons, but if a combination of materials was wanted the panels could be of striped, plaid or checked material, while the gores were of plain, or vice versa; or one material, can be used for the skirt with another for the panels. Again, the trimming can be banding of any sort, either braid or the same in contrasting material cut into bands, or anything of a similar sort. The skirt is made in four gores, these gores being made with extens- 1 slions to the depth' of the panels. The extensions are turned under to form pleats and the latter are arranged over the panels, the edges being joined beneath the pleats. The quantity of material required for the medium size is seven and five-eighth yards twenty-seven, five ```markdown ``` yards forty-four or three and five-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide, elighteen and one-half yards of braid. Flchu Without Frills. A fishu of satin, without frills, worn over a diaphanous frock, is a change from the usual order of things, and should be accompanied by a transparent hat trimmed with big bows or choux of the same satin, and a transparent parasol treated like wise. Cotton Volles. The figured cotton volles make ideal negligences.

Girls Suffered with Iching Eczema Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema. Iching eruptions formed on the backs of their heads which were simply covered. I tried almost everything, but failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads, with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck, were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.

Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, preached Sunday morning. His subject was "The Enrichment of Life." The text was from John 9: 15: "I have come that you may have life, and that you may have it more abundantly." Now, what all the world's a seeking is life—more life. Growth? It is a question of vital force. Health? It is the overflowing, outbreaking vitality of the body. Death? It approaches when there is not life enough to take up the bread and meat and turn it into rich red blood. A little life means little work can be done. A little mind means that a few books will suffice. A small nature means that it needs only two or three friends. A great, royal, divine, universal soul, pulsating, glowing and throbbing with life, means a vitalized intellect. This is an intellectual law. We speak of some young people as having hungry minds. The young scholar devours facts, conversation, the statements of books, and friends. He vitalizes everything he touches. The events go into his intellect in the morning as raw material, and wood pulp. The knowledge comes out of his intellect at night in the form of literature. He has a vitalized mind. He possesses life, creative. If he is a poet, give him the great authors, the great singers, the witnesses the way Schiller digested the books of Goethe. Witness Millet's mastery of the old teachers. Music. Mozart's swift progress in music. No imitators these men. Every page is stamped with individuality. What is the secret of their success? Plainly, fulness of life. Without this abundant life all struggle is failure. This one youth has no gift with the brush; he may break his heart, but he will die a pain grinder. Another toils over his rhymes, but the inspiration will not come. The advocate stumbles on, seeking after the necessary word, if haply he may find the idea. And each in turn ends the struggle in despair. What does he need? Life. More life for the intellect, as writer; more life for the imagination as artist; more life and passion as reformer and orator, more life as a saint. Men need moral talent for prayer, spiritual genius for purity and peace. For all talent is a gift and unique supremacy is an endowment from God. The unseen Father ordains the parents to hand forward their gifts up to the children. Remember that Christ has come to give life and to give it abundantly. In these college commencement days our illustrations should come from the realm of education. Here and now we recall Matthew Arnold's definition of culture—a familiarity with the best that has been done, or thought or said. And to this sentiment let us add his other word: "There is a power in the universe, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness." What is culture for the scholar? There is something in the books of great men—in the sage who thinks for us, the poet who signs for us, the orator who pleads for us, the hero who dies for us and that wisdom bounces ourselves comes in, floods the scholar's soul and transforms him. And there is a physical power in the world, not ourselves, and that we invoke for progress. We arm lifts 100 pounds, but there is a steam, not ourselves, that lifts 100 tons of molten steel. Man's leg runs four miles an hour, but there is a power in the flywheel of his engine that will help him to run across this This principle also explains the secret of growth that begins with life. The old idea was that salvation was by intellectual culture. Christ's idea is salvation by life through the new heart. Bald intellectualism says "Blessed be wisdom." Christ says, "Blessed is character." Here is a little child. In his selfishness he selts his sister's little toy and breaks it. Time and growth will increase the amount of his selfishness and make him strike his own wife and break the heart of his little child, for growth increases the size, does not change the sort. Here is the youth who is sowing wild oats. Little by little he is draining off all the vital forces. The false friend says, "Don't be discouraged; he will outgrow this." But every farmer is in terror when he finds the wild oats growing amidst the tame. The wild oats drink up the rain, steal the richness from the soil, starve the tame oats. If they do this when the false oats grow, time and growth simply multiply. Time can do nothing for a youth who is sowing wild oats save gather the harvest, pain, disaster and heartbreak. Time can turn a spark into a conflagration, growth can turn a little leak into a large one that will ruin the dike and submerge the land. Given a disease, time does not cure it, but only enlarges and spreads the poisoned tissue. Given a selfish child, growth turns him into a monster. Given an avaricious child, time and growth produce a miser. Given a tricky and cunning child, years end with a Benedict Arnold or an Aaron Burr, or a Judas and a Apostate Julian. What the wild thorn needs is the rich life of a double rose grafted within. The orchardist can use the wild root, but he cuts from a tested peach or plum a cutting that turns the sour sap into sugar. It is new life we need. Jesus was right when He showed the secret, the new heart, that brings victory and peace. Disheartened and discouraged, the way is not to flee from God, but to flee to Him. We live and move and have our being in God, as our world floats in amethyst and ether, borrowing all its colors from the light that surrounds it. We have our life from Christ as the tree has its life in the rich juices of the soil, wherein the tree is rooted—the stimulating atmosphere with which the boughs are surrounded, and the all-embracing sunshine that lends warmth and beauty to the sweet blossoms and the ripe fruit. Spiritual Religion. If our religion is to be real and truly spiritual, it must be rooted and grounded in brotherly love. "He that hateth his brother cannot know God," nor can he know man. The precious Christian quality of love will open the eyes of our spirits to the abiding beauty of every human soul, to the temptations resisted as well as to those which have conquered, to the aspiration after something higher struggling like a plant in a dark dungeon towards the light, to the glorious possibilities hidden in the being of every child of God. That clear perception of the good concealed within our brothers and sisters will help us to catch some bright glimpses, of our Father in Heaven. "It is human selfishness, which hides the true nature of God's children, however degraded they may have become by their own fault or the fault of others, from our sight; it is the same deep, deadly shadow which darkens our own perception of God. Through brotherly love filial affection to God is born in human hearts, and when that sacred emotion has once filled our whole being, spiritual religion is known and loved.—Athur W. Fox. The Cause of Much Trouble. All kinds of doubts, disappointments, vexations and sins come to the professing Christian who makes his religion secondary. If his main concern is to get on in the world, to make money, to have a comfortable time, to indulge a taste or inclination, then come in a troop the things which chase away sleep and pierce with anxieties and doubts. Our usefulness, our happiness, our growth, our triumph, are to come, if they come at all, as the result of giving the accent of our lives to our spiritual interests. Let us be Christians and make first things or stop trying to deceive ourselves and others by claiming to be Christians when we are not—Baptist Argus. Household Matters. Blackened Silver.

Scientific investigations have proved that milk in a raw state should never be given to children. Those who cannot buy pasteurized milk should pasteurize it at home. This can be done by observing these simple directions: 1—Bring the milk slowly to a boll, and when it reaches the boiling point bottle it instantly, cork tightly and cool it. 2—Never feed milk that is more than twenty-four hours old to an infant. 3—Keep the milk near ice, and never leave a milk bottle uncorked. 4—Cleanse and scald all bottles before refilling. Careful observance of these directions will insure against babies contracting diseases from impure milk. —New York American. --- To Keep Linen. Does the average housekeeper realize that the surest way to keep linen is not, to use it consecutively? Does she know that, in spite of the original outlay of money necessary to provide herself with a large stock of linen, the possession of a great many pieces is in reality the most economical method? For instance, one woman found that by using one set of tablecloths and napkins for six months and then putting it away for a year's rest, during which time she levied on her extra supplies, her napery could be made to last almost twice as long as did that of other women. In the same way this woman was in the habit of letting two weeks elapse before she used each sheet again. And at the end of two months she put away the set that she had just been using, and got from the depths of her linen closet another set. — Indianapolis News.

Let stand to become chilled, then dispose in the cake lined receptacles. Fire-Killed Timber. Fire-killed timber is sometimes considered to be practically valueless, but it has been used for some years for railway ties and mine timbers, and with satisfactory results. According to investigations made in Colorado by the U. N. Forestry Bureau, the ties are as durable as those of green timber, hold spikes well and do not cut under the tie-plates. Some of the ties are from timber burned 35 or 50 years ago. Red fir is preferred; then yellow pine, limber pine and range pine, and even white pine is now used; spruce resists mechanical wear but needs a preservative treatment to make it resist decay. Such timber is also being used for making crates and boxes, the fire seasoning having driven out the odor of the pine so that it can be used for packing crackers. The timber is, of course, well seasoned, and it is expected that its utilization may be a source of profit to the forest reserves. —Engineering News.

These hounds were three days at work on the scent, in most difficult and treacherous country, and succeeded in carrying the search party to the edge of a pool, at which they threw up the search, and from which on its being dragged the body of the missing girl was recovered.

May 22, 1908. EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The house of representatives passed the Wise "near-beer" tax, by a vote of 99 to 32. A tax of $200 is placed on dealers and $500 on manufacturers of imitation beers. The provision of the bill limiting the amount of alcohol the imitation beer may contain to one one-half per cent was defeated. The senate is committed to a tax of $100 on dealers and $500 on manufacturers of imitation beers, but it is not apprehended that the two houses will experience a great deal of trouble getting together on the question. The bill passed by the house provides that the funds derived from the tax shall go to support the convicts. The bill by Mr. Perry of Hall to stop the convict lease system by amendment to the state constitution at the termination of the present leases, March 31st 'next was lost by a vote of 116 to 39. The bill not having received the requisite two-thirds majority of 122, required for amendments to the constitution, was therefore lost. The convict bill of Representative Holder of Jackson, which passed the house at the regular session of the general assembly, was again adopted in somewhat amended form by that body Thursday afternoon by a vote of 99 to 58. The Holder bill provides that upon the expiration of the present lease system on March 31, 1909, the foundation of a fund shall be begun which will be used for working all the felony and misdemeanor convicts of the state on the public roads. Counties and municipalities will have the privilege of using them for this purpose, beginning April 1, 1909, the remainder to be leased out to individuals until December 31, 1911. After the latter date no convicts whatever shall be leased to private parties. A move to institute proceedings of impeachment against the members of the prison commission was made in the house of representatives Thursday, when Mr. Crawford of Bartow and Mr. Jackson of Jones introduced resolutions looking to this end. Mr. Crawford's resolution provided for the appointment of a committee of five to prefer charges against the members of the prison commission. Both resolutions were referred to the general judiciary committee, but no meeting of that committee was called. IN THE SENATE. Emasculated in proposed executive features, but otherwise intact, the substitute to the Felder convict bill, known as the "skidoo" or "23" bill, was passed by the senate by a vote of 33 to 10. The bill is one of the most comprehensive that has yet been offered in solution of the question that is troubling the state, one of its most interesting features being the levying of an income tax. The provision abolishing the prison commission and creating in its place a board of control, consisting of the governor, commissioner of agriculture and attorney general, was stricken from the substitute. The provision for an income tax of one-half of one per cent on all incomes was eliminated. The proposed tax on limitation beers was reduced from one to two hundred dollars; the tax of $500 on manufacturers of imitation beeds remained unchanged. An amendment requiring the members of the prison commission to give all of their time to the discharge of their duties was passed. The essential details of the substitute follow: The state has direct supervision of all felony and misdemeanor convicts. The misdemeanors may, however, be worked by the counties. The lease system terminates on the night of March 31, 1909. The money derived from the hire of convicts in the meantime shall be set aside as a prison fund. The money already appropriated for the support of the prison department is made immediately available. The money derived from the imitation beer tax shall go into the fund to maintain the convicts. The felony convicts now hired out to lesses and used by the counties shall be given over to the commission on April 1, 1909. The commission may, in its discretion, purchase one or more farms. The convicts shall be divided into gangs or squads, and, under the supervision and management of the state, shall work in the several counties of the state upon the public roads or other public works. The work to be done in the respective counties shall be apportioned by the commission in proportion to population. The material used in road improvement shall be furnished by the counties for which the work is done. The action of the directors of the Savannah board of trade, in abolishing the grades of C and A of rosin amounts to a decided innovation in the naval stores world. Ever since naval stores have been marketed there have been three low grades, A, B and C. They have in recent years been bunched together so far as quotations are concerned and some of the foreign buyers have been kicking recently that when they bought low grade rosin they got more A's than anything else. To overcome this objection it was decided to abolish entirely the A and C grade and bunch the rosin that have been placed under one or the other of the three lower grades as B's. It is expected this will stop the kicking of our English and German cousins. How badly in need of a place for working the misdemeanor convicts of Savannah, Chatham county is, was shown when there were so many prisoners in jail that some of the cells had to be occupied by more than one person. There were almost two hundred and fifty prisoners in jail recently before the police court sent its quota there. This class of prisoners do not work but remain in jail as an expense to the city. The city and the county are now preparing a plan by which it is proposed to work the city convicts on the county farm, near the city limits. VVicious and long term men shall be held on the farm or farms. None of the products of the farms are to be sold in competition with free labor. The convicts are to raise such products as will be used by the state institutions, and road gangs, also the convicts shall make tools, machinery, etc., such as will be required by the road gangs. The money for the purchase of the required land and the road equipment will be taken from the special prison fund, to be accumulated as indicated. STATE NEWS, BRIEFLY TOLD.

The marble found in the hills of north Georgia being of a harder and more crystalline formation is non-absorbant and is regarded as peculiarly adapted for construction purposes in large cities." Fourteen fires occurred in Macon during the month of August, while in August, 1907, only nine alarms were answered by the Macon fire department. During the past month only one bad fire occurred and, that was Huhn's hardware store early in the month. The other fires were small ones and the damage done amounted to very little. J. A. Bagwell of Lawrenceville, Ga., has bought the Marietta Courier. Mr. Bagwell recently, sold the Gwinnett County Journal, of which he was editor and came to Marietta. One of the most successful revivals ever held in Tallapoosa has just been brought to a close by the Baptist church. Over a hundred members were added to the church by letter and profession of faith. The ordinance of baptism was administered, to the new members at the Tallapoosa river and one of the largest crowds ever in attendance upon any occasion was present, it being estimated that there were two thousand people at the river. The resignation of Judge J. H. Marion of Columbus of the superior courts of the Chattahoochee circuit, which was sent to the governor some time ago, took effect, and Honorable S. Price Gilbert, who was appointed by the governor to succeed him, was sworn in, Judge William Redd, of the ordinary's court of Muscogee county officiating. At the same time that Captain Gilbert was sworn in as judge he vacated the office of solicitor general of the circuit court and Honorable George C. Palmer, who had been appointed by the governor to succeed him, was also sworn in as solicitor general. Judge Martin retires with the confidence, esteem and good will of the people of the entire circuit, and the new officials enter upon the discharge of their duties under most favorable auspices. More than $5,000 was subscribed in Savannah for the relief of the Augusta flood sufferers. This is the largest amount raised in any city. Heavy contributions were made on the floor of the Savannah cotton exchange. The American Naval Stores company sent the Press fund $500, and Spencer H. Shotter, chairman of the board of the same concern, sent the Morning News' fund, a similar amount. In a determined effort to rid the city of blind tigers the city-council of Albany has offered a standing reward of $50 to any citizen, policeman, sheriff or deputy or any other city or county officer who will supply information, with evidence to convict, of the operation of any blind tiger. The permits issued by the building inspector of Atlanta shows that during the month of Auguts just closed there were issued permits aggregating over a third of a million dollars, or to be exact $389,305, a clear gain of $46,633 over the month of Aug., 1907. With this appreciable increase the total increase for the eight months of 1908, over the same number for 1907 is $226,026. The total for the year 1908 up to date being $3,796,573, as against $3,569,547 for last year. Three delegates from Waycross have been appointed by Governor Hoke Smith to attend the International Tuberculosis congress, which will convene in Washington, D. C., September 21st to October 12th. The appointees are Professor E. A. Pound, superintendent of the city schools; Dr. J. L. Walker and Dr. R. P. Izlar. Shellman cotton receipts for the season of 1907-08 were 11,434 bales. There was received here during August, this year, 2,000 bales of new cotton, which breaks all records of previous years. COTTON BUSINESS HURT By the Recent Floods in the Sayannah River Valley. MANY CITIES-AID AUGUSTA Money Contributions Received From Distant States--Temporary Cotton Warehouses Have Been Erected. Augusta, Ga.—Augusta has succeeded in opening passenger communication with South Carolina. A ferry between Augusta and Hamburg has been put in operation and will be continued until the lower footbridge can be rebuilt. The sun is rapidly drying up the mud, which is being carted away or used to fill the big holes made by the waters in the streets at various points. The cotton business is hard hit. Augusta is one of the largest cotton markets inland, and the freshet, stopping communication with South Carolina, at this season, has wrought great ruln. The cotton exchange has authorized the building of a temporary warehouse, and this is believed to have removed the acutest phase of this situation until the bridges can be rebuilt. Temporary dams have been constructed in the canal so as to allow enough water to get to the pumping station to operate the pumps there. Money continues to come in from every city in Georgia, and from places as far away as upper New York. The cargo of the steamer Two States, which sunk, has been salvaged and the boat will be raised unless another rise should wreck it. The water scarcity continues the most distressing general condition. WILL ERECT MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN. Women Appointed as Collectors by Officials of W. C. T. U. Columbus, Ga. Active work is to be begun at once toward raising the funds for the memorial prohibition fountain to be erected on the state capitol grounds in Atlanta projected by the Georgia Woman's Christian Temperance Union at the last state convention in October at Columbus. The fountain is to be of permanent material, marble or bronze, and is to contain the name of every member of the legislature who voted for Georgia's prohibition law as a memorial of their loyalty to the welfare and happiness of the people of Georgia and an expression of gratitude and admiration. Collectors have been appointed, one for each congressional district, as follows: First district, Miss Haddle Davis, 118 Oglethorpe street, West, Savaannah; second district, Mrs. Lee Hall, Newton; third district, Miss Maud Allen, Abbeville; fourth district, Mrs. W. Gowdin, Cotton, P. O. Box 371, Columbus; fifth district, Mrs. M. L. McLendon, 139 Washington street, Atlanta; sixth district, Mrs. J. L. Kennedy, Barnesville; seventh district, Mrs. C. K. Henderson, Cedartown; eighth district, Mrs. G. B. Stovall, Madison; ninth district, Mrs. J. C. Bennett, Jefferson; tenth district, Mrs. J. C. Martin, Thomson; eleventh district, Mrs. Augusta Deen, Waycross. 12-YEAR-OLD TRAIN-WRECKER Admits Putting Bolt on Track to Wreck Train. Buford, Ga.—With slight realization of the enormity of his crime, Lewis Cooksie, the 12-year-old lad who wrecked northbound Southern train No. 38, and thereby caused the death of Engineer Ben Dewberry of Atlanta, and his negro fireman, is now locked in the county jail awaiting trial in the superior court on the charge of murder. Immediately following his arrest the little boy confessed to having placed the bolt on the track which derailed the big fyer. In the artlessness of his childhood he recounted how he had been influenced by two older youths, whose names he would not furnish, to place the bolt and await the wreck which was sure to follow. BOY COMMITTED SUICIDE Fourteen-Year-Old Lad Ends Life With Shotgun. Odessadale, Ga.—Harold Stillman, 14 years of age, who lived one mile from Odessadale, shot himself - to death. A shotgun was used to accomplish death, which was instantaneous. The entire load entered his heart. The boy is well thought of here, and his mother, a widow, has the deep sympathy of all. The boy had been ill for some time, which probably accounts for his strange act. Three young white men who were confined in the Wayne county jail at Jesup under a small fine for stealing a ride on a train made their escape. They were allowed to go into the yard which surrounds the jail for the purpose of sweeping it. While in the yard, which is surrounded by a brick wall at least sixteen feet high, they succeeded in pilling three old heaters up against the wall and in this manner were able to climb over it. Amos E. Fuller of Galnesville has gathered three crops of beans from the same vines this summer and shoots were putting out on the vines again when he plowed them up a few days ago. Each time the vines were full of beans. Washington is making rapid strides in the matter of public improvements. Besides the item of some $15,000 in buildings that are going up in the city, it is now pretty certain that the town will issue bonds for paving certain business sections of the city that are greatly in need of better streets. The question of paving the entire business section of the city has been agitated for some time. This agitation has been gaining strength, with the result that the needs of certain sections have been pointed out as being so urgent that all opposition to paving these sections has given down. SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT The smoke from the bowl of one's pipe is blue because, coming direct from the red-hot tobacco, it is very highly oxidized, but the smoke from one's lips is gray because it is highly watered and hydro-carbonized. A telephone instrument encased in glass has been manufactured by the general manager of a Western telephone company for the purpose of showing the skill, of the workmen, and the methods of installing parts and demonstrate the simplicity of construction and accessibility of parts of the instrument. The thing to praise in an aeroplane should be slowness. The problem of flight. will not be solved so long, as a high forward velocity is the only means of maintaining position in the air. Until we can go slow or fast at pleasure, flying will remain nothing more nor less than a sport with a very limited utility for military purposes. Paris was recently the scene of an endurance march of a peculiar kind. Only drummers attached to the military station at Paris were permitted to take part. The route selected was a "circle around Paris," a distance of 23 1-4 miles. The conditions were that along the whole route each participant must beat the drum continuously in "march time." Only one of all those who entered covered the distance and filled the conditions. He drummed around Paris in six hours and five minutes. One of the curious things that men of science have discovered in their innumerable efforts to measure and map the earth with the least possible error is the fact that there are places where the direction of a plumb line is not vertical. Irregularities of density in the crust of the globe may produce this phenomena. A remarkable instance has been found in the island of Porto Rico, where the deviation from the vertical is so great that in mapping, the island, the northern and southern coast lines, as shown on the old maps had each to be moved inward half a mile. A Washington scientist recently conducted a series of experiments on "mental fatigue," and his conclusions throw doubt on the old theory that the mind "loses its power to work as a rubber ball loses its power to bound," and that sleep charges the mind with energy. On the contrary, this investigator finds that the degree of inability caused by mental work is very much less than has been supposed, and he questions whether the results obtained by investigators who have sought to measure mental fatigue in school children were not due to the use of methods which did not measure the inability, but did measure the distaste for mental effort. FIRELESS ENGINES. Used in Germany for Yard Shunting Operations. Special Agent Capt. Godfrey L. Carden, of the United States revenue cutter service, sends from Berlin an account of the fireless locomotives now used in Germany, and which, he thinks would be of great service in the United States. He says: The Germans are turning out a fireless locomotive, which in point of simplicity, ingenuity and economy is thoroughly characteristic of their nation. I have had occasion to ride on one of these fireless locomotives and its simplicity can be understood when I state that in the cab the mechanism consisted merely of a throttle bar, reversing gear and brake. Only one man was required to run the machine, thus saying the expense of a fireman. "As the name implies, the locomotive is fireless. There is no firebox. In general appearance the machine resembles the ordinary type of locomotive minus the firebox, funnel, and sundry other attachments. It must be understood that this type of locomotive is unsuitable for uninterrupted railway service, but is essentially a yard shunting machine; in other words, it must keep near its base of supply, and this base of supply is the boiler of some local power station. At this local power station the tank of the locomotive is filled with steam, and on this steam supply the engine will run from four to five hours, doing ordinary switching work. When I entered the cab of one of these switching engines the steam gauge showed a reading of 45 pounds. I was informed that two hours had elapsed since the boiler was charged, and that steam was taken on at 170 pounds pressure. The chief engineer of the works-stated that the boiler could limp back to its station with steam pressure as low as one-half an atmosphere.—Scientific American. Island's Plague of Rabbits. Rabbits have of late increased in numbers so enormously in the northern portion of the Isle of Man as to constitute a menace to agriculture. Yesterday the House of Keys passed a bill having for its object the abolition of the pest. The bill treats rabbits as vermin, and empowers occupiers of land to carry a gun without license for their destruction, and to authorize other persons to carry guns without license for a like purpose.—London Standard.
