Congress Shown That Swamps Can Be Made Productive. Delegations of Farmers and Business Men & From the South Have Visited Washington Asking Congress For Aid. Washington, D. C.—Congress is hearing much about the drainage of wet and overflowed swamp, lands, of which there are 76,000,000 acres in the United States. The south is taking the lead in this matter and is asking for a small appropriation with which to make surveys so that the work of reclaiming these rich lands can be carried on by private capital. Several delegations of representatives, farmers and business men from southern states have visited Washington during the past few weeks to urge the importance of legislation at this session for surveys on a comprehensive scale. They have talked with the president, the vice president, the speaker, the secretary of agriculture and prominent members of congress, and have received much encouragement. They are backed by a strong sentiment at home, which holds to the belief that if it is right for the government to guarantee the payment of irrigating lands in the west, it is equally right to pledge the credit. of the government for devising plans to drain the swamp lands of the south. They have received much encouragement from Speaker Cannon and other members of congress. JAPANESE SPIES CAUGHT. They Were Trying to Secure Plans of Manila Fortifications. Manila, P. I.—Two Japanese engaged in an effort to secure plans of the fortifications at Corregidor, Cavite, have been arrested by the military authorities, and are being held subject to instructions from the secretary of war, Jacob M. Dickinson. They approached a soldier of the engineer corps, and the latter, was caught taking photographs. He revealed the plan of the Japanese, and agreed to assist in their capture. He said that the Japanese had offered a large sum of money for photographs and plans of the fortifications. The Japanese consul here has taken no action in the matter, but the Japanese residents insist that their countryment were serving some European power. No federal or local statute covers the offense and it is probable that the Japanese will be released and ordered to leave the country. The soldier has been confined, and it is the intention to transfer him to the United States. RELEASED FROM QUARANTINE Tick Fever Suppressed in Portions of Seven States. Washington, D. C.-The secretary of agriculture has ordered, effective at once, the release from federal quarantine for Texas, or tick fever of cattle areas amounting to over 48,000 square miles. This action is taken as a result of the good progress made in the extermination of ticks. The territory released in the south includes: In Oklahoma, portions of Noble, Payne, Cleveland and Jackson. Privilege for movement on inspection is provided for portions of Lincoln, Cleveland, Caddo and Jackson, and revoked for a portion of Kain county. In Arkansas, Benton and Washington counties. In Mississippi, DeSoto, Tate and Tunica. In Tennessee, Bradley and James. In Georgia, White, Habersham and Stevens. In Virginia, Brunswick county. ERUPTIONS ON - SUN. Brilliant Auroral Displays Have Occurred in Chicago and Vicinity. Chicago, Ill. — Strange eruptions have appeared on the sun, according to a statement by Professor Edwin B. Trost, director of Yerkes' observatory at Williams Bay, Wis. "The eruptions, which shoot from the surface of the sun like skyrockets," said Professor Frost, "are easily visible at the edge of the disc. One of them shot out to a length of 150,000 miles, as near as we could estimate. It then detached itself from the main body and sped through space, a mass of luminous gas not dissimilar to a comet. Before it disappeared it had reached a distance from the sun of about 250,000 miles. The eruptions are probably caused by the release of pressure on some particular spot of the sun." GENERAL ROSSER DEAD. Gallant Confederate Officer Surrenders to Death. Charlottesville, Va.—General Thomas LaFayette Rosser, aged 73, died at his home. He was a member of the class at West Point when ordered into the field by Lincoln, but he resigned and entered the service of the Confederacy at Montgomery as first lieutenant. When the surrender came he refused to captulate and, cutting his way through the union lines, took the shattered remnants of his command to Lynchburg and there disbanded them. When war with Spain was declared he was a brigadier general of volun- SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1910. THE PRICE OF IGNORANCE. Washington, D. C. That six hundred thousand lives are sacrificed annually on the altar of this country's ignorance and neglect of sanitary and health laws, was asserted by Senator Owen in the course of a speech in the senate in support of his bill creating a department of health with a cabinet officer at its head. Mr. Owen's address was based on the theory that the various health agencies of the government should be consolidated. He said that while President Tatt had not commit himself absolutely on the subject, he was confident he was in sympathy with the movement. He declared that with proper attention to the prevention of contagion and to the protection of the people against the use of polluted water and impure and adulterated food, human life could be greatly extended, and with all the safeguards applied the average might be increased to the extent of twenty-seven years within the century. In addition to the six hundred thousand cases of fatal illness annually, Mr. Owen asserted that an average of three million of people were constantly sick in this country with preventable diseases. A statement by Mr. Owen concerning the prevalence of the_hook worm in the south aroused much interest. He said he had been informed by an expert that 90 per cent of the children-of one-of the southern states were afflicted with the disease. "I don't care who the expert is," remarked Mr. Mooney of Mississippi, "I don't believe a word he says." Senator Johnson of Alabama also took extenuation to the statement. Mr. Owen having asserted that hook worm could be cured by two doses of thymol 'at a cost of, 25 cents, Senator Helburn suggested that there was $1,000,000 "now on tap" for the eradication of the hook worm. Mr. Gallinger thought since it had become known that there was so much money available for chasing the mysterious hook worm there would be a corresponding increase in the disease. In conclusion Mr. Owen spoke of the prevalence of malaria in Oklahoma. He declared that every school teacher should be armed with a pamphlet instructing against the ravages of polsonous flies and mosquitoes. Replying to the Oklahoma senator, Mr. Gallinger expressed the opinion that the government should go slow in establishing a department, of health. He thought the public health and marine hospital service and the health departments of the various states were doing reasonably well. As for the contention that the period of life could be materially lengthened, he regarded it "a dream, pure and simple." NEW KIND OF MEAT. Jungle Animals May Appear On Menus of United States. Washington, D. G.-The introduction of the hippopotamus, the rhinoceros, the camel, the eland, the springbok, the trekbok, the dikdik, the coood, the giraffe and other African animals into America as a solution of the problem of food supply was suggested by speakers before the house committee on agriculture. Captain Fritz Duquesne, a Boer; Dr. W. N. Erwin of the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture, and Major Burnham, who has spent years in Africa, and accompanied former President Roosevelt on part of his travels, argued in favor of the Broussard bill to import wild and domestic animals into the United States. Such animals, according to the bill, must prove useful, either as food or as beasts of burden. All of the witnesses declared that many of the animals in Africa easily could be raised in this country. DENOUNCES·FASHIONS. Lecturer Calls Society Woman Clothes Horse to Display Rich Man's Money. Columbia, Mo. — "The fashionable woman" was characterized as simply a "clothes horse for some rich man to show off his wealth," by Dr. H. J. Davenport, professor of economics, in a lecture before the Home Economies' Club of the University of Missouri. "Fashion puts incipient wings on woman's shoulders, humps on their hips and balloons about her feet. it creates artificial and unnecessary immodesties. It presides over the color of our baby blankets; it noses us around through life," he said. "Our pocketbooks are emptied by fashion in order that our wardrobes may be filled with exhibition garments, it makes half our garments unwearable when not yet outworn. It pursues us to the grave. If there is anything more vulgar than the wedding, it is the funeral." Naturalist Agassiz Dead Cambridge, Mass.—Alexander Agassiz, the eminent naturalist and president of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, died on the steamer Adriatic, Southampton for New York. The news came in a wireless message from Rodolphe Agassiz, his son, to an alj Henry L. Higginson of Lee Higginson & Co. Roddenbery Wars on Red Rot. Washington, D. C.—Representative Roddenbery is taking active steps to secure a favorable report on his bill to provide for an appropriation of $10,000 to enable the department of agriculture to investigate the cause of and remedies for the disease "red rot" and other diseases of sugar cane. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. JUSTICE BREWER DEAD DEATH CAUSED BY APOPLEXY Justice Brewer Was Stricken as He Was About to Retire, and Died Before Physicians Could Reach the House--73 Years Old. Washington, D. C. — David Josiah Brewer, associate justice of the supremo court of the United States, died, as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. His death followed within a minute or two, before he could be carried to his bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him when the end came. Justice Brewer was 73 years old. The end came altogether unexpectedly. Although he had not been feeling well for the past few days, the aged jurist was apparently in the best of health and spirits. Justice Brewer came to the supreme court of the United States from the federal court in Kansas. He was the second eldest member of the court, Justice Harlan only being his senior. He was regarded as the most democratic of all the members of the court, most affable, approachable and accommodating. He was the one man on the bench who had proof copies of his opinions prepared for the newspapers, and this he did consistently. Another characteristic of the dead jurist was that he never took any of the time of the court or the public in announcing his opinion. He would give only in a few words his conclusions and then hand down the proof sheets of his opinion, always completely arranged. Justice Brewer essentially was a western man, and his sympathies were always with the west. He dealt largely with railroad corporations and with corporations generally. Justice Brewer's death raises a serious question as to the action of the court regarding the Standard Oil and American Tobacco Company suits, and it is not improbable that the cases will have to be retried, since there now remains but seven justice to pass upon them, Justice Moody not having participated in the trials by reason of continued illness. David Josiah Brewer was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1837, the son of Rev. Josiah and Amelia Field Brewer. He was graduated from Yale University in 1856 and the Albany Law School in 1858. He was appointed by President Arthur judge of the United States circuit for the eighth circuit in 1884 and served five years, and following this service resident Harrison appointed him as associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. POSTOFFICE ROBBERY. Yeggmen Make an $85,000 Haul at Richmond. Richmond, Va. — Combining the skill of experts with the simplest of methods, thieves robbed the vault in the office of the cashier at the Richmond postoffice of stamps estimated to be worth about $55,000, and incidentally carried off $160 in cash belonging to the payroll fund. For audacity the feat was almost without parallel, certainly in this part of the country. The robbers could hardly have chosen a more public place in which to operate. They were within less than 15 feet of one of the main thoroughfares of the city, which is at all hours of the nigat brightly lighted, while the room in which the robbery was accomplished was lighted. Large windows open on the street referred to, and no movement could well be made within the room without observation by passers-by. The safe, was drilled and no dynamite was used. One of the amazing things about the job is its magnitude. Box after box of stamps was removed from the vault. One man could not possibly have carried all away, nor could half a dozen men. The probabilities are that some sort of vehicle as used to bear off the booty. LEGISLATOR TOOK BRIBE. Percy Election Probe Causa Sensation in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss.-The sensational testimony given before the Hinds county grand jury by State Senator Theodore Bilbo, that he accepted a bribe of $645 from Hon. L. C. Dulaney of Issaquena county, to vote for Leroy Percy in the recent senatorial contest, is the sole topic of discussion in legislative circles here. Political lines are drawn tighter than at any time during the recent senatorial battle and personal differences are feared. RUSSIA EXPELLING JEWS. Number of Expulsions Greater Than Ever Before Recorded. New-York City. — The American Jewish committee announced here that it had received advises from trustworthy sources in Berlin stating that the expulsion of Jews from various cities in Russia has reached a magnitude never heretofore attained. Formerly those threatened with expulsion at the caprice of local goyermen were able to get protection through the ministry of the interior, whereas now, it is stated, the ministry itself is issuing the orders for expulsion. Hundreds of families, according to advices, that have lived for years in Russia are being killed. ADVICE TO FARMERS. Spring Agricultural Work For Southern Planters Outlined. Raleigh, N. C.-The Progressive Farmer and Gazette published here advises soutenafr farmers to do the following things this month. 1. See that the seed bed for all crops is not merely well broken but thoroughly pulverized by harrowing and disking. An ounce of preparation may be worth a pound of cultivation. 2. Get ready with weeders and harrows to kill the grass before it comes up. Don't be arraid of hurting the stand. This will not happen. 3. Place orders for all improved plows, harrows, weeders, cultivators, and other labor-saving tools and machinery. Get ready to make your crop with cheap horse labor instead of expensive hand labor. 4. Don't waste time and sweat on scrub seed or scrub stock this year. Improved varieties will pay as well with field crops as with garden crops. 5. Get ready to share with the western farmer his golden flood of profits in raising hogs and cattle. Firt of all get an improved breed, and then arrange to feed economically. With proper pasture crops both pork and beef can be made more cheaply in the south than in the west. 6. Of the over $50,000,000 spent in the south for fertilizers each year at least $10,000,000 is wasted through ignorance of crop needs and soil needs. Try to stop your part of this colossal loss. 7. Join in the great corn-raising revival now sweeping over the south. The biggest corn crops the world has known have been made in the south, and we are just waking up to the fact that Dixie can beat the corn belt itself raising this king of cereals. 8. Don't forget the garden, and don't make your wife do all the work in it. Remember, vegetables are cheaper than meat and more healthful. 9. We cannot have good fruit now without spraying. A good spray pump will often pay for itself the first year in the orchard and potato patch, 10. Dray the roads after every rain. The split-log drag is the cheapest good roads maker ever invented. 11. Paint the farm house and whitewash the outbuildings that you do not care to paint. It will pay you simply in your increased sense of pride and dignity. 12. Get your boy to join the Boys' Corn club movement with an acre of corn, and give your girl a flock of pure bred chickens. And be sure to let each one have the money he or she makes from this allotment. DANCE OF DEATH. Two Hundred and Fifty Persons Perish in Hungary. Budapest, Hungary—Two hundred and fifty men, women and children were killed when, during a country ball, fire destroyed a barn at Oekoerito. With their clothes afire, the dancers fought to escape from the structure. Scores were trampled as the exits became clogged with bodies. The disaster came at the height of the festivities. The floor was crowded when the flames were first seen. In a moment the hundreds of dancers were fighting in one tangled mass. The flames spread with great rapidity. Practically the entire village was in the barn and there was but a handful outside to help. There were no facilities for fighting the fire. When the exits were most crowded and scores were hemmed in on the burning floor, dashing madly about in vain efforts to extinguish their clothes, the roof fell. GOV. BROWN ANSWERED. Prof. Gannett Says Peary Has Established Claim Beyond Doubt. Washington, D. C.—The report from Atlanta, quoting Governor Joseph M. Brown of Georgia as having renewed his criticism of Commander Robert E. Peary and practically declaring him to be a faker, is being discussed in Washington. Professor Henry Gannett of the National Geographic Society, said: "The data submitted by Commander Peary was of so technical a character that it would be only intelligible to an expert on such matters. In connection with my associates on the committee, I have made the most careful consideration of the proofs submitted by Mr. Peary, who has, to my mind, established his claim beyond a question of doubt." Tariff Agreement Adopted. Paris, France—The bill approving the Franco-American tariff agreement was adopted unanimously by the chamber of deputies. Newsy Paragraphs Pittsburg had the rumor, on undoubted authority, that plans were afoot for the combination of the Westinghouse and Edison electric manufacturing companies into a $150,000,000 trust, which would have a complete monopoly. Private advices from Blairitz contradict the reassuring reports concerning King Edward's health. They say that when the king appeared in public recently he appeared haggard and tattering. Professor Elie Methinkoff of the Paris Pasteur institute announced be fore the Academy of Sciences that he had succeeded in overcoming the principal obstacle to the preparation of an effective anti-typhoid vaccine. This disease he said has been incommunicable to the lower animals and Professor Methinkoff has now succeeded in infecting monkeys with the typhoid germ. By this means he has been able to obtain exact symptoms permitting accurate experiments on the action of this vaccine. WILL AID PROHIBITION In Response To Loud Complaints From Various "Dry" Districts, President Tait Directed That "Bootleggers" Be Arrested. Washington, D. C.-War on "blind tigers" and on "bootleggers" has been declared by, the administration, Hereafter persons engaged in these forms of the liquor tariff are to be dealt with much, more drastically than heretofore. This stand of the government has particular reference to violations of the internal revenue laws in "dry" counties, where local enactments prohibit dealing in liquor. Loud complaints had come to President Tait from various "dry" districts, notably in the south and west, that the prohibition laws were negatived through the operations' of the "blind tigers" and the "bootleggers", and in response to demands for remedial measures, he directed that steps be taken to stop the practices New regulations were drawn under the supervision of Mr. Cabell, the commissioner of internal revenue, and approved by Secretary MacYeagh. They set out that as the peddling of liquor is not contemplated by the internal revenue laws, and no provision is made for the issuance of any stamp legalizing such practice, peddlers of liquors or "bootleggers" are not to be regarded as coming within the class of unintentional violators, and should be arrested and reported for prosecution whenever found selling liquor in such manner. As a supplemental measure of assistance to the state in the enforcement of their prohibition laws, a method has been provided by which they may obtain information gathered by the federal government of internal revenue law violations. GOVERNMENT COOK BOOK High Cost Facts Induce Government to Issue Book. Washington, D. C.—Discussion of the increasing cost of living has brought to light quite generally that the cheaper cuts of meats are more difficult to prepare for the table than the more expensive portions of the carcass, due to a lack of knowledge of how they may be made appetizing and palatable. With a view to providing the housekeepers of the country with practical suggestions along this line, the United States Department of Agriculture has prepared a manual of economy in meat cooking that contains much valuable information which will be issued free. It is known as "Economic Use of Meats in the Home," and may be had by addressing a request to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. The contents cover a variety of subjects, including fifty recipes of savory dishes, and much general information, such as; General methods of preparing meats. Utilizing cheaper cuts of meats in palatable dishes. $ ^{a} $ A simple but practical method of clarifying fats. Methods of extending the flavor of meats. The recipes have been selected from a wide range collected from approved sources, and are all simple formulas calling for such items of food as are generally found in every household and requiring no technical knowledge to compound. $ ^{b} $ FARM EXPORTS ADVANCE. Foodstuffs Have Advanced Abroad as Well as at Home. Washington, D. C.—Exported farm products of the United States are steadily rising in value, while in many cases the exports of manufactures show a decline in the same comparative period. Foreign countries were willing to pay higher prices in every instance for farm products during February this year than they were in February a year ago. The export price table issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor shows a long line of increases ranging from 30 per cent upward. prices given there are exclusive of freights, and represent merely the prices at the time of exportation. Taken in comparison with those figures which are quoted in explanation of the higher cost of living, this newest table makes it apparent that exported foodstuffs have advanced abroad as well as at home. Salts and fresh beef exports alone show slight decreases in price for February, as compared with the same period a year ago. WHEREABOUTS OF COOK Explorer is Reported to Be in New Jersey: New York City—Dr Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, who has been reported about everywhere of late or "en route to New York," is, according to the latest rumor, at the home of his wife's sister, Mrs. Henry Harvey, at Pensauken, Camden county, New Jersey. Friends of the doctor declined to commit themselves as to his whereabouts, but Captain B. S. Osbon, a staunch supporter, went so far as to say the explorer would be in New York within a few days. Mrs. Cook, said Osbon, would first to select apartments. LATE NEWS NOTES. Another radical move on the part of the suffrage advocates which is receiving much attention in the eastern part of the country is an organization of college women at Wollesley, Smith, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe and other colleges for women, the members of which promise not to get married until she shall have won over to the cause at least 500-men. Rev. J. Wesley Hill of New York, who has been waging a pulpit warfare against socialism has been authorized by his congregation to call a national antisocialistic convention, for the purpose of inaugurating a nation-wide campaign against socialistic doctrines, through the churches. Dr. Hill will take personal charge of the campaign. William Ochsher in Maysville, Ky., while feeding cattle at a distillery, was surprised to find a fine gold watch in the center of a bale of hay, which he had broken open. The word "Willie" was engraved on the side of the time piece. Where the watch came from no one knows. The hay was part of a shipment sent from Cincinnati. Walter Dennis of Jackson county, Tennessee, a dead man, was pardoned by Governor Patterson. The object of the pardon was to relieve the family of the deceased of the necessity of baying a $50 fine watch he had been sentenced to pay in July, 1905, for carrying a pistol. It was recommended by both the trinaljudge and the attorney general. It is reported in Battle Creek, Mich., that Montgomery L. Weed of Vicksburg, Miss., before leaving for California, stated that he would be counsel and director with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the work of the recently announced Rockefeller founda for philanthropic activities. Newman Erb and associates of New York, have acquired the Chattanooga Southern railroad, a line now extending from Chattanooga to Gadsden, Ala. It is now in the hands of receivers. The favorite speculation is that the Louisville and Nashville will ultimately reveal an interest in the transaction, and the long-prophesied line from Chattanooga to Birmingham in competition with interests of the Southern system will materialize. A marriage in which the bride was twelve years of age and the groom twenty-seven, occurred recently at Dalton, Ga., the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Pitts, at the home of the bride. Miss May Cody. The groom is Mr. Tom England. He is a clerk in a store. The wedding was a quiet affair. There was no objection raised by the bride's immediate family. Washington. The penury of the weather bureau has been relieved to some extent and the distribution by telegraph of the 8 p. m. observations which were recently discontinued on its various circuits throughout the country was resumed March 24. The circulation of this data referring to the temperature, rainfall, wind velocity and other services was abolished temporarily by the bureau because of the lack of funds with which to prosecute its usual work for the rest of the fiscal year. The action brought forth protests from many sections of the country. Action taken in the house disclosed the fact that the secretary of commerce and labor has no information relating to the records of Commander Peary bearing upon his discovery of the north pole. Several days ago Mr. Hughes of New Jersey offered a resolution calling upon the secretary for reports of tidal observations made by Mr. Peary on the coast of Alaska. Mr. Hughes suggested that these reports might develop some information bearing on the discovery of the pole. In asking that the resolution be laid on the table, Mr. Mann said the records referred to had been sent to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. They did not contain data bearing on the discovery. Lieutenant Goethals as president of the Panama railroad, has informed Samuel Lewis, secretary of foreign relations, that he has received instructions from Secretary of War Dickinson, to arrange with the Panama government for the survey of the railroad from Panama to David, near the Costa Rican frontier, which has been projected for some time. This will be the Panama trunk of the proposed American railroad through Central America. President Taft has permitted to expire immediately the sentence of one year and one day's confinement in the Atlanta pentenitary imposed on George W. England of Huntsville, Ala., for violation of the liquor laws. When sentenced the prisoner was given the option of a term of six months in the local jail at Huntsville, but preferred the sentence to Atlanta for the longer term because of the filtay condition said, to exist at the former institution. England's term would have expired April 3. Past Assistant Surgeon C. H. Lairinger of the public health and marine hospital service was designated to go to Milan and other places in Italy for the purpose of making an investigation into the origin and prevalence of pellegra and into the measures being taken to combat the disease. Surgeon Lavinder also will inspect establishments in Germany which manufacture viruses and analogous products for sale in America. If the house adopts the recommendation of its military committee the confederate cemetery at Springfield-Mo. will be taken over by the United States government and will be established. This is expected to cement closer than ever the north and south. The bill has the approval of Secretary of War Dickinson.

R. E. Pardisi MANY NEW RAILROADS Unprecedented Railroad Construction Throughout Georgia. With Fifteen Railroads Proposed, the State Promises to Be Honeycombed With New Lines. Macon, Ga—Fifteen new railroads now under consideration in Georgia against a marked decline in railroad construction for the whole country, is shown in government reports. Railroad promoters, encouraged by the wave of universal prosperity which has swept the state from end to end during the past twelve months, are busy securing charters for new lines, and from present indications many Georgia towns which have heretofore had no railroad connections, will, within a few months, be put in direct touch with the rest of the world, while other towns will assume the aspect of railroad centers. Here are the names of the proposed new lines and the routes which they are proposed to follow: Georgia Southwestern and Gulf, from Albany to some part on the Gulf of Mexico. Savannah, Augusta and Northern from Statesboro to Athens. Waycross and _____, from Waycross to Albany or Americus. Jacksonville and Atlanta, from Jacksonville to Perry. Albany, Ashburn and Atlantic, from Broxton to Albany or Americus. Valdosta, Moultrie and Western, from Valdosta to Moultrie. Waycross and Florida Central, from Waycross to Lake City, Fla. Ocilla Southern, from Ocilla to Rochelle and northward. Wrightsville Adrian and from Wrightsville to Vidalia or Lyons. Middle Georgia Interurban, from Jackson to Social Circle. Jackson to Social Center Augusta and Athens, from Augusta to Athens. Rome and Northern, from Rome to Dalton. Toccoa and Carnesville, from Toccoa to Carnesville. North Windsor and Carnesville, from Washington and Carnesville, from Washington to Carneville. Sandersville and Tennille, from Tennille to White Plains. Traversing practically every portion of the state, these new lines will mean a new era in railroad development in Georgia. With their bank accounts swelled from the golden influx which followed the record-breaking crops of last year, farmers, merchants and professional men all over the state, and in south Georgia especially, have welcomed the opportunities presented to invest their new wealth, and at the same time lend to the material development of their various sections. The gentle cynic is generally a fierce proposition. SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasurer of the State of Georgia. GEORGIA FARMERS BUSY. Corn, Oat and Wheat Crops Largest in History. Americus, Ga. Not an acre more will be planted this year in Sumter than last year, the farmers say. There is no additional labor for a greater acreage, and besides the high prices of mules, meat and grain precludes any possibility of a larger acreage. Swainsboro, Ga.—The farmers in this county are entering upon this year's work with considerably more enthusiasm than in former years, owing perhaps to the high price of cotton and the favorable spring for work. Reports from different sections of the county confirm the belief that more cotton will be planted in this county than ever before, and that the yield of corn will be nearly double that of any preceding year, the slogan of the farmers being "corn for home consumption." Dawson, Ga.—Corn planting was finished over two weeks ago in this county and cotton planting is now the order of the day with Terrell county's progressive farmers, who are well up with their work at this time. It is understood that there has been some increase in the acreage planted in corn this year. GEORGIA BANKS PROSPEROUS. Only Four Counties in the State Are Without Banks. Atlanta, Ga.—With the rapid increase in state banks which has characterized the past year, the indications are that every county in the state will soon have a bank of it own. At present there are only four counties in the state which have no banks of any character. They are Camden, Dade, Dawson and Echols. The annual report of the state treasurer will show that there are now more than 500 state banks in the state, while the report for the last year showed there were 457. According to figures compiled by Ben F. Perry, assistant state treasurer, the banks of the state are in a most prosperous condition and there are scant signs of the panic of two years ago. Reports received from 388 banks show a net profit for 1909 or $2,335,521.43, or 10 2-3 per cent net profit on a total capitalization of $15,347,058.08 and a surplus of $6,508,121.27. The increase in loans for the year amounted to $20,500,038.80 and the increase in deposits was $18,067,975.55. Free Cotton Seed Gone. Atlanta, Ga.—The state board of entomology has exhausted its supply of cotton seed of the variety which is used as a resistant to the black roo disease. Parties who desire seed next year may send in their names, which will be placed on the list. Arrangements have been made by the board with different parties to grow this seed in large quantities this season and the board hopes that next winter seed can be sent out to all who apply for same. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. Arrangements have been perfected, it is announced, for the removal from Pennsylvania to Ware county of thirty-five families of truck farmers. The celery business is being tried by several this year, and there is but little, if any, doubt of its adaptability to this section. Those visitors claim this is an ideal soil not only for celery, but for all lines of vegetables and fruits. P. A. Methvin, state pure food inspector, has returned to Atlanta from a trip through various sections of Georgia and announces that as a result of his investigations he has condemned ten thousand bushels of defective corn, two thousand bushels of meal and five car loads of hay, the greater part of which has been shipped in from other states. A most illuminating article on the control of the brown rot in peaches and the plum curculio, or worm-in-the-peach, has just been issued by the department of agriculture as circular one hundred and thirty, of the bureau of entomology. The article was prepared by W. M. Scott, of the bureau of plant industry, and A. L. Quintance of the bureau of entomology. Experiments conducted at the Hale orchards in Fort Falley, in which a spray of arsenate of lead and self-boiled lime sulphur mixture was tried, resulted in a crop practically free of brown rot and peach tree scab; and about three-fourths of the crop escaped the ravages of the curculio. The yield from the sprayed trees was twice as large as from the trees not sprayed. The article gives full details as to how to prepare the lime and sulphur spray. War on the cattle tick which is costing the cattle raisers and dairy men of Georgia thousands of dollars a year, is being undertaken with a vengeance in several sections of Georgia. It is under the direct supervision of the federal government, working in co-operation with the state authorities and county officials. Captain R. F. Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, has gone into north Georgia to look after the inauguration of this campaign, in person, in the counties of Hart, Putnam and Greene, where the officials will concentrate their efforts to eradicate the tick. There are to be three cattle tick inspectors in each county. One from the federal government, one named by the state authorities and one named by the county officials who are to bring this work to a focus. With the eradication of the cattle tick and the increased consumption of cotton seed meal by Georgia cattle and dairy herds, the Georgia farmer promises soon to be independent of all packers Something is going to drop and that right early, in the neighborhood of the neer-beer dealers who have failed to observe the law and pay the tax which is required of them. With a view of ascertaining the course which the state of Georgia should pursue in forcing the collection of the near-beer tax when dealers decline to pay it, Governor Brown is having the near-beer tax law investigated. Frequent reports have come to the governor, recently that many of the dealers, especially in the larger cities, are falling to pay the tax. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, 1 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

Another purchase of farming land near Americus was completed by South Carolina investors in the Hawkins plantation at $30,000. Recently the same parties purchased the Burk halter plantation here for $36,000, and will make other similar investments immediately. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars has thus been invested near Americus recently by South Carolina planters delighted with this section. The work of renovating and recarpeting the halls of the legislature on the ante-rooms adjoining each, has been started and they will be put in splendid condition for the meeting of the lawmakers in June. Representatives Livingston and Adamson propose in a bill introduced in congress to put the prisoners now confined in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta and the military prisoners at Fort McPherson to work constructing a highwaw between Fort McPherson and the military rifle range near Waco, Ga. A fifty thousand decrease in the registration of the state for thiyear's elections, instead of the big increase justified by the unprecedented large number of immigrants coming to the state during the past two years. That is the only reduction to be derived from reports received from tax collectors in every part of the state. Unaccustomed to the necessity of registering for an election or primary six months before it takes place, the new early registration law is going to have the effect of depriving from fifty to seventy-five thousand of the state's white voters of the privilege of participating in this year's elections, unless the apparent apathy of the voters changes before April 5. Brought fact to face with the discrepancy between the figures for 1908 and 1909 and those so far for 1910 the tax collectors of the various counties have thrown aside their other duties and are concentrating their efforts to the swelling of their registration lists. The state commissioner of agriculture is preparing to renew the work of "Tick Eradication" in Greene county. The work which was done in this county last fall was along educational and preliminary lines. Notices have been posted on the county lines and it is unlawful to bring cattle into this county from adjoining counties except from Putnam. Putnam is carrying on the same line of work that this county is, therefore she is exempt from keeping her cattle within her borders. H. C. Tuggle, state inspector of convict camps, has returned to Atlanta from an extensive tour of inspection in south Georgia and was especially enthusiastic in his commendation of Jenkins county. "With thirty convicts, Jenkins county is doing great things in road building," said Inspector Tuggle. "It is one of the most progressive and prosperous counties in the state, and under the direction of Captain Joe Applewhite, chairman of the board of county commissioners, and Warden Taylor, who has charge of the convicts, it will soon have some of the finest roadways in the state." niums.

Mabel Herbert Urner, whose "Journal of a Neglected Wife" gained the distinction of being the most widely quoted book of the past year, has written another and even more emotional and soul-searching novel, which appears complete in the April Smart Set under the title "The Price Inevitable." The April Smart Set contains several short stories that are worthy of especial notice. "The Philandering of Penruddocke," by G. C. Harvey, is a tale of English army and social life, full of breezy description and smart, peppery dialogue. There is a very attractive picture drawn of an English house-party and of a horse race. "The Perfection of a Scoundrel," by Frederic Irving, is a man's story of danger, disaster and daring. "I Too, in Arcadia," by Marie Conway Oemler, is a page of an artist's life, full of that rare, delicate charm that attaches to the real "Bohemia." If all the richly clad were rich of heart, how rich this world would be. Fine thoughts are in many men's minds, but few men care to crystallize them into fine actions. Women are better than men, because they do not have women to tempt them. Following his interview of several days ago to the effect that Commander Robert E. Peary, alleged discoverer of the north pole, is a takir, Governor Joseph M. Brown is receiving numerous letters of commendation from persons in all sections of the country, who hold similar views. One man in Massachusetts, evidently a firm believer in Dr. Cook's claims of finding the pole, was so enthusiastic over the governor's expression concerning Commander Peary, that, in addition to commending the chief executive for his position in the matter, expressed the ardent hope that some day he will have the privilege of voting for Governor Brown for president. People's Ideal Fiction. The April number of People's Idea Fiction Magazine contains, in two hundred and twenty-four pages of solid fiction, two complete novels, eleven short stories, and large instalments of four serials. "The Crime Capsule," a mysterious and deadly power, lives up to its name in Frank Lille Pollock's thrilling complete novel, which stands at the head of the contents. The big-league teams are getting into shap down south, and the air is full of baseball talk. People's Idea Fiction Magazine for April contain the first complete story of a unique series of "inside" baseball stories, which will run throughout the season "His Big-League Debut," is a striking story of the making of a star pitcher out of a raw bush leaguer by a manager who knows the game. Manifesteed the Makings Alderman Smith's baby was being christened, and everybody present was complimenting the happy parents. "I believe," said the proud mother, "that he is going to be a great politician some day." "Why? asked the ruddy-faced father. "Well because he crawls out everything so easily," said the wife, smiling up into her husband's face—Lippincott's. Without sincerity there can be no nobility of character. --- BOL. C. JOHNSON. Gavannah, Ga. The April Smart Set. To a Boy. Dear boy, I quite admit your attitude is warranted by every fact and figure; I am of being rude. You emphasize with rigor. The simple truth, not quite so badly stated. That you are up to date and I outdated. You are the coming man and I the golg, For I am middle aged, you in your For I am middle aged, you in your teens. Mine is the cbbing tide and yours the fairy tide. With all that difference means. I must defer and listen to you humbly While you explain what I have pondered dumbly. To me the ways of life are mystifying. But they present no relicence to you; I puzzled long, until I ceased from trying. But your unfinishing view Excuses you with the most hesitation And points the finger of elucidation. You set me right in details when I stray.

Some men, it seems, are born to humble- ness; Some two it thrust upon them willy- So I must learn to take my proper cure. Effete and obsolete, I look to you For guidance that is needed. It must not be that grudgingly or surly I face the fact that I was born too early. —Pall Mall Gazette Ecolish Words.

Last summer we spent our vacation on Long Island at a place not very far from Long, Beach. I suppose you read in the papers about the schooner Arlington which was wrecked off the coast of Long Island opposite this beach. One day a party of us decided to make an excursion to visit this wreck. We reached there about noon and after having lunch took a walk to see this large schooner. It looked very cold and desolate standing out in the water with the huge waves washing over it. The entire middle was covered with water, and only the front and back were visible. In a small store on the beach several things which had been on board the Arlington were displayed in the windows. There were books, chains, shoes and other things, also the hymn book opened to a page on which was written the hymn "Rescue the Perishing." The sailors had sung this song in the last stages of despair. Helen M. Henderson, in the New York Tribune. An Odd Visitor. A friend of mine who lives in an apartment house half a block from Mount Morris Park, found when she returned from her summer in the country that she had a new visitor in the neighborhood. The first day after she came back she left a few chestnuts on the kitchen windowsill. Going into the kitchen a little later, she saw a squirrel comfortably eating his breakfast of chestnuts. The little animal didn't seem to be the least bit disturbed at her appearance and continued to nibble. She watched him until he scampered away down the fire escape, into the yard, up the fence and along its top until he disappeared in the direction of the park. The next day the squirrel appeared again, and was disappointed when he found no nuts waiting for him. He entered the kitchen, sniffed around a little, and then scampered out again. Since then my friend has placed nuts on the windowsill, and the squirrel has visited the apartment every morning.—Alma M. Lane in the New York Tribune, A Hunter in Trouble. One day last autumn when I was at a friend's house and we had nothing to do he suggested that we go hunting, to which I readily assented. The guns were an old double-barrelled shotgun and an old rifle that had been used in the Civil War. Both of them were-muzzle-loaders. The meadows where we were going were quite a distance from where we lived, so we did not get there till about 4 o'clock. When we came to the factory pond my friend suggested that we had better load up, which we did. After waiting for about five minutes we saw a small flock of birds coming toward us. My friend raised his gun and fired, and sat down so quickly and so suddenly that his gun flew out of his hands to the ground. When I looked around he was sitting up rubbing his head, and when I saw him in that condition I laughed until my slides ached. The trouble was, he had put in too big a charge and had been knocked over. He had a sore arm for a day or two, but nothing more serious happened.—F. E. Woodword in the New York Tribune. Bargain Lemonade. "Other day—a scorcher—I was meandering down Tenth street a bit after up, when a little voice piped up from the half-shade of a doorway, "Mister, won't you buy a glass of lemonade?" I stopped. The lemonade looked fine; I was dry as a covered bridge, and the little voice was very pleasing. So I drank a class and paid the advertised price—3 cents. Half a block further on another lit- He voice piped up. "Mister, won't you please buy a glass of lemonade of me, too" "My dear child," I asked reproachfully of the very little girl beside the lemonade bucket, "do you imagine I have nothing else to do but wander almessly around the street lapping up lemonade like a dusty antelope or $3 worth of Florida sponge? My interior mechanism is already sufficiently aciduous and chilled, and—but, never mind, give me a glass." And I poured another measure of the compound into my system and laid down another 3 cents. The little vender looked at it longingly for a moment, then picked up one of the pennies and pushed the other two back toward me. "It's only 1 cent a glass," said she. "Why, how is that?" I queried, curiously. "The little girl up the street is selling hers for 3 cents a glass and it isn't a bit better than yours "I know, sir," replied the little girl—a conscientious kidlet, as you'll see—"but the St. Bernard puppy had a fit and fell in ours and we, thought we ought to sell it at a bargain." And I thought so, too—after I had decided that the lemonade might stay put, after all—Washington Star. A Happy Rescue. Norman, Billy, and Lloyd were playing "express." Norman sat on the high seat of his big cart, and Lloyd and Billy were his horses. "Get up! get up!" he cried, nourishing his whip. Only one of the horses obeyed. Lloyd was watching something across the street. Prince, Norman's new puppy, had run cut of the yard, and was jumping upon two little girls who were greatly frightened. The older girl started to run, but the little one fell and began to cry. "Prince! Prince!" called Lloyd, "come here!" "Oh, let Prince alone!" cried Norman. "He won't hurt them. They're sillies to be afraid." But Lloyd was already trying to slip the harness over his head, that he might go to the rescue of the children. Norman held the reins tight, however, and played his whip about Lloyd's shoulders. "Oh, don't!", pleaded Lloyd. "They're scared almost to death!" He called to the girls: "Don't be afraid! He won't hurt you!" Then he freed himself, and ran across. The younger child was screaming, while the other was trying to put herself between the dog and her little sister. Lloyd soon coaxed Prince away, meantime striving to quiet the children's fears. "He is only a puppy, and he wants to play, that's all. He won't bite anybody. He just loves little bits of girls—like your sister. He is only two months old." "Is he your dog?" asked the older girl. "Oh, no! But we are friends, aren't we, Prince? He belongs to Norman Stockder. I live across the street—in that house," pointing to a red cottage. "Thank you ever so much," smiled the girl. "He ran after us yesterday, and we were so scared; but' I sha'n't be afraid again." Lloyd returned to play, with Prince capering around him, and the girls walked off down the street, stopping occasionally to look back. "If you run away again, I won't let you be my horse," said Norman; crossly. "All right," laughed Lloyd, slipping into the harness. He knew that his friend's anger wouldn't last long, and Norman was never quite so cross as he seemed. A few days afterward the boys were going home from school together when a big automobile whizzed past them. "Wouldn5t you like to ride that way?" cried Norman. "Guess I would!" answered Billy. Lloyd said nothing. He was watching the car. It was turning around on the brow of the hill just beyond—now it was coming slowly back. As it drew near, he recognized two of its occupants,—the two little girls that had been so frightened by Prince. The car stopped by the sidewalk. "Will you come for a ride?" asked the older girl, nodding shyly to Lloyd. Would he! It didn't take him long to run home and ask mamma, and then hop in. The car started. He seemed to be flying through the air! How delightful it was! "Papa's going to take us up to Hartford, to bring mamma home—she's up there visitug," explained the girl, "and we thought maybe you'd like to go, too." To Hartford! As far as that? "Why, can we get home to night?" gasped Lloyd. "Oh, yes!" laughed the girl. "It won't take more than an hour or two." won't take more than an hour or two." Then Lloyd settled down to solid enjoyment; and what a two hours the next were! Up in Hartford he was treated to sandwiches and ice-cream besides nuts and bananas; and Papa and Mamma Starr thanked him very pleasantly for having been so kind to their little girls. "I'd have called Prince off if Pd known they were Major Starr's children," said Norman, when Lloyd told him about the ride. "I didn't know," answered Lloyd, innocently.—Emma C. Dowd, in the Sunday School Times. $25,000,000 Worth of Coal Burned in That Time in Workings Near Summit Hill, Penn. ALL EARLY ATTEMPTS FAILED. Finally a Clay Barrier Was Built and This Conquered—$2,000,000,000 Coal Deposits Were Threatened. After destroying about $25,000,000 worth of good anthracite coal a mine fire that started fifty-one years ago near the village of Summit Hill, in northeastern Pennsylvania, has just been checked. If this latest attempt to stop it had not been successful, the subterranean fire would have spread into the Lansford Valley and endangered 400,000,000 tons of coal, about $2,000,000,000 worth. It was on Feb. 15, 1859, two years before the civil war began, that the blaze was discovered in some abandoned workings in the Mammoth Veln, near the east end of the Summit Hill basin. This basin may be compared to the thumb of a man's hand. The fire started near the end of the "thumb," which is 600 feet wide at its narrowest and 1500 feet wide at its broadest point, and worked its way toward the main part of the "hand." If it once got there the chance of conquering it would be small. Half a century ago people had not begun to think much about the possible exhaustion of the anthracite supply, and the veins were not mined as thoroughly as now, so that the fire found quantities of left-over coal to feed upon. Cave-ins and fissures in the rock overlying the Mammoth Vein at this place let in plentiful supplies of air, and there was no chance of stopping the destruction by cutting off the air supply. As the years passed the fire gained a stronger and stronger hold the necessity for checking it became every day more apparent. The consumption of anthracite grew by leaps and bounds, and the fact that there was a limit to the hard coal deposits came to be appreciated. The increased cost of mining by deep shafts made it essential that every-ton of fuel near the surface should be saved. Early Attempts to Conquer the Fire. Almost from the time it was discovered attempt were made to put out the fire. In the sixties there was a plan to dig a great open cut, with sloping sides, across its path, the theory being that when the fire reached this break in the coal it could go no further. The project was found to be so expensive however, that it could not be carried out. Many years later the attempt was made to fill a broad area with culm, washed down through holes bored from the surface, and thus block the course of the fire. This, too, proved a failure; the fire went straight on past the barrier. After much study W. A. Lathrop, President of the Leigh Coal and Navigation Company, which owns the property, decided that the only way to stop the fire and prevent the destruction of millions of tons of coal was to build a clay barrier across the basin, extending down to water level. The barrier would have to be approximately 900 feet long. On the north of the basin, where the coal comes to the surface, an open cut was dug. From there southward, the vein sloping downward, a series of shafts were sunk, the last in line to the south being 220 feet deep. Later it was found that not only would the barrier have to cover the face of the vein, but that the space between the first four shafts would have to be filled in with clay. This makes the barrier extend from the bottom of the vein to the surface of the ground for a considerable part of its length. At the southern end it was not necessary to take out the overlying rock between the shafts, but simply the coal. This was done by a tunnel following the vein and extending 500 feet on a slope to water level. Two concrete walls sixty feet in height are being built to form the "side" of the tunnel. There are "windows" at short intervals, so that the wet clay, beside filling the space inside, may seep through on both sides and act as reinforcement to the walls. Workmen's Dangerous Task. Difficulties of a kind never before encountered in engineering work met the company in its effort to carry through the plan. The fire was close upon the workmen, and as a measure of protection a series of "slushing holes" had to be drilled near the line of shafts. Notwithstanding this precaution, the smoke and fumes came through to where the men were working, and the rocks on the sides of the shafts grew hot. This complicated a task that was already hard enough. The utmost care was necessary in blasting. Elaborate ventilating apparatus had to be installed at great expense. Canvas flumes were led down into the shafts. Being flexible, they could be shifted so as to supply fresh air without delay to the spot where it was most needed. An emergency hospital was put into operation, and a physician was on hand to keep the men in shape. Under these conditions the work was prosecuted in half hour shifts, and each man employed had to work only four hours a day. At one time the engineer in charge, Mr. Starr, did not take his clothes off for ninety-six hours. During most of these four days and nights he was down in the shafts, taking personal charge of the work. Cracks appeared in the rock, and sand had to be thrown into them, while the work went on, to keep back the heat and smoke. Concrete Replaces Timber. After operations were under way, it became evident that the timbers in the shafts could not be removed without risk to the side walls. It was not safe to leave the timbers in place, because they might serve to aid the passage of the fire. Consequently transverse concrete walls were built 30 inches thick at the bottom, and narrowing to 18 inches at the top. These walls, running across the line of shafts and parallel to the course of the fire, had openings 3 feet long by 6 feet wide, placed at intervals of 12 feet, so that the clay could run from one compartment to the other. Thus the pressure on the walls was equalized. Fifty thousand cubic yards of clay were needed to make the barrier and $3000 cubic yards of concrete. Ten miles of timbers were used in the shafts and the open cut, all brought from North Carolina. In a single one of the holes bored as a protection to the work 24,000 tons of slit were poured. It is estimated that the cost of stopping the fire—this does not include the unsuccessful attempts of the past—was $250,000.—New York Times. A MERCHANT OF FEZ. Description of His Rise and His Ignominious Fall. The merchants of Fez are to be found all over Morocco. In due course All Mahmoud launches out into business on a large scale. He prosperse exceedingly, and presently purchases a black female slave to assist his wife in her duties. All Mahmoud takes a house in the Medina quarter of Fez, overlooking the pleasant olive groves. In course of time he buys two more slaves and is fairly set up as a house-bolder. When his first daughter is born there is great rejoicing. The baby is immediately stained all over its little body with henna and then smeared liberally with butter and wrapped in woolen cloths. On the seventh day these are removed and the child is washed for the first time. When the girl has reached her first year, her head is shaved, leaving a little tuft by which Mohammed could catch her up to heaven if he were so disposed. In her seventh year her hair has grown again. She is then velled and her proud father sets about looking for a husband for her. It is still the custom to betroth children from infancy. All Mahmoud prospers and, save for a few domestic troubles, his life runs smoothly. Perhaps he has lost two of his female slaves or rather, one has been beaten by his jealous wife and run to sanctuary. From the mosque she claims to be resold, and he has to obey the law for slaves. The other regains her freedom by bearing a child. These negress slaves enjoy a much better time than their Moorish mistresses. They are not bound by iron laws and customs. They may go unveiled in the streets, and if ill treated, they have their remedy. In the evenings, Ali will sit and smoke in the bosom of his family. On Thursdays and Saturdays he visits his friends. They pass the time in simple games of cards or in listening to the weird efforts of itinerant musicians. Sometimes, with a few others, he will wend his way to the walls of the city. Here the party will sit watching the sunset and regretting the days when Christian slaves were as plentiful as sheep in Morocco. Our merchant gets stout as he approaches middle age. One day his world tumbles about him. Such is the uncertainty of fate in Morocco. He was serving in his shop when the customer suddenly raised his voice and cried out that he was getting false weight. The accusation was terrible and All he yehement protested his innocence. It was an arranged charge by an enemy of the merchant, who philosophically bowed his head with the saying: "Kismett! Mine enemy has found me and the serpent requires milk." The arbitrators are called and, having been bribed previously they find Mahmoud guilty and sentence him to the usual punishment meted out to givers of false weights. He is dragged to the southern wall of the city, to a place where a tall gibbet is erected. By the irony of fate it is within sight of his own house. A rope is made fast to his right wrist and hoisted up until his toes can just touch the ground. Here he is left till sunset. The idlers jeer at him and the gamas of the quarter pelt him with stones and refuse. Atundown his friends carry him home—a poor, bruised and senseless body. Broken and disgraced, thus ended his career as a respectable merchant.—Morocco Correspondence London Graphic. Subsidence Of the Bermuda Islands. According to the results of studies by Prof. A. E. Verrill, the beautiful Bermuda Islands are merely the remnant of an island, very much larger than the present entire group, but which has sunk in the ocean. The original island had an area of 300 or 400 square miles, whereas the Bermudas today are only about 20 square miles in area. Within a comparatively recent period, says Professor Verrill, the Bermudas have subsided at least 80 or 100 feet. Their base is the summit of an ancient volcano, while their surface is composed of shell sand drifted into hills by the wind and consolidated by infiltration. A new fertilizer is now being made in Norway from the mortar from purifying the sugar liquid, which was formerly difficult to dispose of. The technical committee of the Royal Automobile Club of Great Britain, has been asked to consider the expediency of undertaking a test of motor horns on similar lines to those adopted in recent head lamp trials, in order that motorlets may "gain information as to the most effective and least objectionable form of warning instruments for general use." The most effective means of life saving in the event of a storm is the lifeboat, the first one of which was launched on the Thames on January 4, 1785, by Lionel Lukin, a coach-maker of an inland town near London. The first lifeboat was a Norway yawl, which he had fitted with water-tight compartments, a heavy iron keel and other essentials in buoyancy and stability, which are the cardinal and requisite features of lifeboats now. No use has yet been discovered for tellurium. It is classed as a metaloid, and is supplied as a chemical curiosity in the form of a black powder and as a metallie-looking substance with a fine columnar crystal form, in color somewhat resembling tin. Some of the compounds of tellurium have an offensive, all-pervading and ineradicable odor. Chemists who have been experimenting with tellurium say, according to the United States Geological Survey, that after three months' exposure to sun, wind and rain the clothing worn by them while they were making these experiments, although it had not come into contact with the tellurium compound, was still so unpleasantly scented that it had to be destroyed. A new form of mercury interrupter has recently been invented in which there are no redcoprocating parts, but the interruptions are produced by a ripple formed in a stream of mercury. The mercury is contained in a revolving vessel within which a contact piece is fixed. The mercury is thrown by centrifugal force to the inner periphery of the vessel. At one point the stream of mercury is obliged to pass over a deflector, producing a ripple or wave, and the contact piece dips into the mercury stream at this point as it revolves with the vessel. The frequency of the interruptions may be varied by making the deflector revolve slowly in the same direction as the vessel is revolving, or in the opposite direction, or letting it remain stationary. ASPHALT LUMBER. Boards Made of Felt and Asphalt Said to be Waterproof and Fireproof. The term "lumber" formerly was applied only to wood, but it has now been combined with the word asphalt to form a term so new as to be capable of copyright. It means a boardlike product which, while composed of layers of a special long fibre felt saturated with a composition of asphalt, says Cassler's Magazine, can be cut, worked, joined and nailed like wood. This material, originally designed for roofing, and absolutely water and weather proof, is manufactured in a stock size, 36 inches wide and 6, 8, 10 or 12 feet long. The boards are made with a 1 inch rabbet, running the full length on either side, enabling the material to me matched up readily and quickly, while a special asphaltic cement applied along the rabbeted joint makes the joints practically a part of the solid board. Such a material has many wider applications than those merely of roofing construction, and it is available in all building operations demanding a waterproof structure, capable of resisting heat or cold, and unaffected by the action of acids, gases, fumes, etc. The material is compressed in the course of manufacture to such a solid consistence that it may be classed as a fire retardant, while it may be surfaced with sand, gravel or mastic, as may be ordered. In the manufacture of asphalt board there are used four layers of saturated, felt, three of parchmentized cellulose and six of cementing composition to which are added two weather coats applied to the outside. A Lavender Town. One of the miner harvests that promises well is that of the lavender fields. I have seen some flourishing crops in the Hitchin neighborhood recently. Comparatively few know of this quaint Hertfordshire town as an important lavender-growing center, yet it has grown the sweet old herb (which the Romans called Lavendula when they used it to scent their baths), has distilled the flowers and sent their extract into all parts of the world for more than a century. At cutting time people come in from miles around to inhale the sweetness of the fields, and when the distilling begins the fragrance of lavender is borne on the wind two miles or more from the town. The flowers are put into the still with the fresh bloom of their maturity on them, and from six pounds of such flowers about half an ounce of oil is extracted.—London Mall.

Leslie, a Kong missionary, was talking in the saloon of the Vaterland, about a mean Belgian ivory trader. "The man was so mean," said Mr. Leslie, "that I can only compare him with Saunders MacPherson of Peebles. "Saunders visited his rich cousin, Frazer, in New York, staying seven months. Frazer one day led him into a cigar shop, saying: "Come in and have a cigar, Sandy." Frazer bought two ten-cent cigars, gave one to Saunders, and proceeded to light up. As he did so, Saunders said to the salesman: "These cigars sell at three for a quarter, I believe?" "Yes, slr." said the salesman. "Then,' said Saunders, laying down a nickel and at the same time opening his cigar case, 'I'll take the third one. If you please.'"—Washington Star. The Legs Scared HIm.

THE death of Mr. Justice Brewer leaves avacancy on the Supreme Court bench that should be filled by one of the late judge's calibre. A MAN feels better when he owns even the smallest piece of property. Our young men have excellent chances now to own property that will in a short time increase in value. NEXT Tuesday marks the close of the registration books in this State. Voters desiring to participate in the elections of this year had better hustle in order to get their names on the registration list. All of our readers in this State should agitate the matter and urge the delinquents to qualify before Tuesday. COLORED Republicans in various parts of the State are alive to the issues raised by THE TRIBUNE, and unless there be a mighty change, at the proper time there will be "something doing." Those who have been thinking that the disfranchisement law would eliminate the Negro, will be badly disappointed. The model farm in this county is destined to do much for the agricultural growth of this section. It would behoove our farmers to visit this farm and note the improved manner of preparing the grounds, planting and caring for the crops. Our people must get advanced ideas and keep abreast of the times in order to keep up with their competitors. THE Senate Committee has reported favorably on the bill making an appropriation for the reimbursement of the defunct Freedman's bank depositors. Every fair minded person should labor for the passage of this bill, thus helping thousands of dependants who lost their all in this bank failure. Hon. J. W. Lyons of Augusta is still doing his part in looking after its passage. The Rodenburg joint resolution creating a commission to investigate and report on the advisability of holding a semi-centennial exposition commemorative of our freedom, was favorably reported on Wednesday and will without doubt pass. This is the bill favored by President Taft and Dr. Washington. Those of our people who are signing petitions contrary to the above are not in the least helping the cause. In our city we have a number of young boys and men with bright minds who should be organized in order to study race history and learn more about the men and women of the race who have accomplished something. But very few our young people know much about the men who have made history for the race. They and their deeds should be known and perpetuated in our store houses of knowledge and by pictures in our homes. In this respect Savannah should not be behind other places. It is a matter of inspiration to drive around the city and have point out to you the large number of fine homes and well located lots and other property owned by our people. This shows that those of our people have not been sleeping but have been making well of their opportunities in saving and investing their money. Their excellent example should be followed by many others, who instead of paying rent, be living in and paying for their own homes. Property is cheaper here now than it will ever be and while it is so, purchases should be made. "For the first time in the history of Oregon a colored man sits on a case in the Federal Court, and so novel is it that he is commented on by the daily paper. It is said that he was agreed upon by the attorneys for both sides because, of the high character of his intelligence and the brilliancy with which he answers questions. Of course we who know Mr Perry, the juror in question, knew that already, but what makes us rejoice is the fact that there is another illustration about to be given to the uninitiated as relating to the development of the Colored American and it goes without saying that more than one man will gain a better opinion of the race by the contact with this one." - Portland Advocate. THE TRIBUNE congratulates our friends in the northwest on the recognition of their citizenship by having one of their number selected as a juror in a Federal Court. The Advocate's gushing article in this great epoch causes our mind to revert to times when our section of the country was assailed for its attitude towards us, and to note now that the right of serving on the jury had been denied our men in the free air of the northwest. For the benefit of those who are not aware of the facts, we will state that from early reconstruction times to the present, colored men have served on every jury, not alone in the Federal, but the state, county and city courts in this section. And too, they are treated alright. We urge our friends to be less rampant about prejudices in this section and labor more for self-betterment in their locality. "Leroy Bowers southern blood rose today when, summoned as a juror in the supreme court, he found blmself down on a panel with a negro. "Bowers rose immediately and asked to be excused from serving, declaring his southern education, training and instincts prompted him to make the request. Justice Ford granted the request, but not before giving Bowers a severe acoring, declaring him 'unfit for jury service, either in this case or in this court.'" Mr. Bowers, no doubt, is among those southerners whom a well-known Georgian stated a few weeks ago, are flip on the tongue for commercial reasons. Men of Mr. Bowers' equal, possibly superior, have sat on panels in various courts in this city with colored men. The relation between them have always been cordial, in fact it comes natural to a southern, gentleman to treat everybody courteously. The Second of a Series of Articles Concerning Beach Institute, the Industrial De- Just now, when there is a visible leaning towards the value of industrial training for the youths of the land, it cannot be amiss to speak here, of that feature as it is seen at the above named institution. For there has been installed in the basement of this historic school a well equipped work room or rather, four work rooms. Over this department the popular and competent Prof. Waters presides. Under his care and instruction the boys of the institution are making rapid progress in the use of tools. They are making not only articles for exhibition but also those suitable to general use. Many of the products of their handcraft now line the walls of the shop, and upon inspection one would marvel at the truth of the statement that these articles are the products of the boys of the several classes and not the work of expert mechanics. In the regular carpenter-shop there are several long benches furnished with devices for holding the material, being worked in place while planing, sawing, chiseling or driving. Tools suited to all classes of wood-work are in evidence and use, and a huge stone, soon to be turned by power is also provided. "This article of commerce," says Prof. Weld, "is necessary as the tools, for upon it depends that nicey of finish that makes the articles attractive and acceptable." Among the articles made by these students are various little tressles, tools and nail boxes, bill files and mitre boxes. All of the articles made show up excellently and the amount of training noticeable, in their mechanism speaks volumes for Prof. Walters the instructor. The machinery room is very interesting, as I am sure, one better prepared to judge of it than I am, would, without reservation, state. There has been installed there a five horse power electric motor, shafts with both rip and cross-cut saws. The shafting extends into three rooms and is prepared, possibly, for the attachment of a half dozen lathes, saws, etc. Shifting and adjustment devices have been made by the instructor by means of which almost absolute immunity from danger from accident is guaranteed. A course in this department is supplementary of course to the literary training given in the institution. The remarkable adaptability of the students is plainly shown in this department, because each article made is wrought out from a pencil or a pen picture of the articles to be made. Maybe several boys are engaged in the making of a single article each one of whom makes a separate part. When the parts are completed, they are put together and form the article designed. There is just the same systematic training given the boys of this department as being given the girls in cooking and sewing department. We have already spoken of a class in cooking and hope to devote a space later on to the sewing classes of the school. In fact, there is an air of school-business about this grand old institution, that makes one besithe to make a prediction of ultimate results. There is a manifest interest in both teachers and pupils relative the work being done, that will convince the most skeptical that a new era has been opened up for the people of the community. Children are born but men and women are made through a process of preparation and the better the preparation, the better the men and women. If this be true, then it is well that through this great school and others of its kind, we can reasonably hope for men and who shall be better prepared for the context for place and profit than the men and women who preceded them. I would with great emphasis, reiterate the statement made in my previous article, that it would be both pleasing and profitable to the parents of the children attending our schools and to the citizens at large; if they would visit these schools, and see what the youths of the land are doing. It would encourage the teacher and pupils. It would benefit the citizen and furnish him material for a study in comparisons. He would see at a glance the difference between the street uchin and the school boy. He would feel encouraged as the result... We doff our hats to Prof. Wells and Walters and the excellent set of teachers of the institution. And we take the authority in our own hands to invite any one who doubts the effectiveness of the training of the students who from day to day, assemble there, to "go and see." Training "will out," no power or powers terrestrial, can hinder it, and the forces with which its products come in touch will be effected however invisible may be the fact. Monumental Notes. Monumental Notes. As we all know that Sunday was Easter Day, but it was not only Easter day with the old mother church, it was a glorious hallelujah day. At 4 o'clock a man services began and Dr L A Townsley, the wonderful, the great and mighty man of God, filled the pulpit and preached an able sermon which will long be remembered. The choir was at its post and sang beautiful. At 11 o'clock a m the children of the Juvenile department marched in and began with their part of the program which was enjoyed by every one present. At 3 o'clock p m the pastor preached to the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthes. At 8 o'clock p m the pastor preached to the Ocean Progressive Aid and Social Club, and at 9 o'clock the sermon was completed and the program of the Senior department began. It was one of the best that was ever known to be rendered in the old mother church. On Monday night the greatest of all was the Easter egg breaking. There were two large hens on the nests, and after the program was completed the children ran the heens off the nests, then they all marched around and got an egg out of each nest. The breaking began. Our Supt, together with the pastor and officers, need commendation for the excellent program which was rendered. Our collections, excelled all other. Total raised $131. Rev H. H. T. Kealing will preach here Sunday morning at 1 o'clock. Come and hear him. St. Benedict's Church. East Broad and Guest streets. Easter Sunday will be long remembered by the Priests and people of St Benedict's Church. Very large congregations attended the different services. At the early Mass many, received holy communion; theirs was a holy and happy Easter. At 10:30 a Solemn High Mass celebration by Father Dahent, who was assisted by Father Herrbrecht as Deacon, and Father Obrecht, as Subdeacon; the latter preached an instructive sermon on the Resurrection of Christ. At the evening service, before a great crowd of members and of their friends, six adults made their profession of faith and were solemnly baptized by Rev. Jos. A. Dahent, who gave a touching sermon about the Sacrament of Baptism. The simple but impressive ceremonies of the administration of baptism made a visible impression on all those present. On Easter Tuesday night, the church gave a Easter Festival at Harris Street Hall. It was attended by an Immense crowd. Our Festivals are always patronized by the best class of people, because they are conducted with improachable propriety and splendid harmony. All credit is due to the committee that organized the Easter Festival. Next Sunday another grand celebration will take place in St. Benedict's Church. We are going to celebrate the Patron of our church—St. Benedict the Moor—the Patron of the colored Catholics. Right Rev. Bishop Keiley will sing Pontifical High Mass at 30 a.m at which time he will be assisted by six priests. It is one of the most solemn functions in the Catholic Church; therefore an unusually great attendance is expected. The Bishop will also preach the sermon; let all those who wish to witness the splendor and impressiveness of the Catholic Ceremonial, attend this solemn function. In the evening Father Schadewell, Rector of the Cathedral, will preach the Panegyric of St Benedict. Father Schadewell is well known as an elquent speaker and he will certainly attract a large congregation. Our choir will repeat the Easter music, which will be another inspiring feature of the celebration, F A B Church. On last Sunday morning at the "First African Baptist church, the members and visitors listened to a very illustrative sermon preached by the pastor, Rev W L Jones, from St Matt 6:33; subject "All gain or all loss." Little Nathaniel C Green was brought to the altar to receive prayer. A rich and spicy program was rendered at night by the Sunday school which elicited much credit for the Supt, J A Snyder, and his corpse of teachers for the manner in which the children were trained to sing and recite their parts. The funeral of brother Jas Dorsey took place at the church on Friday of last week and was well attended. The pastor officiated. The young men of the "Progressive League" presented the church with two beautiful boards bearing the order of services, pastor's address and phone number, to be placed on the outside of the church edifice. Tomorrow will terminate our rally which was launched about a month or more ago. All captains are asked to make their reports promptly. The series of meetings carried on during the past two weeks were fruitful. Baptism after 11 o'clock service tomorrow. Communion at 3:30 pm and preaching at 8:30 p.m. We invite you to be present at each service. Second Baptist Church.

A number of the rally captains reported; and the rally was extended until tomorrow without fall. Only a few are on the sick roll. Two funerals. Sisters Henrietta Paig Mary Childs. Sister Paig was baptized here by Rev. John Cox fifty years ago, and sister Childs joined by letter under Dr. J. J. Durham 15 years ago. The Woman's Mission will hold their regular services tomorrow morning. The revival is in progress and the spiritual interest is high. Rev. McD Spencer, D. D, of Valdosta, Ga., will begin preaching Monday night and preach through the entire meeting: baptism the second Sunday at 11 a. m. Deacon L. A. Mack and Bro. I. W.

The pastor, Revil D Boynton, is requested to preach the 10th annual sermon of the G'U O of S and D of Ezekiel. He will preach "The 'dry bones in the valley." Mr Hart, chori ter of the Sunday Club, will take charge of the choir, beginning the first of April. All are invited to attend. Minister's Union. The Evangelical Ministers met in St. Philip's A. M. E. Church with Dr. L. A. Townsley in the chair. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. W. H. Holmes. Having prayer, the first Psalm was read and the choir chanted "Just as I am without one plea." The program committee made their report: April 27th. Sermonic report April 10th. Will the education of the Negro solve the race problem," by Dr. R. H. Singleton, April 26, The Doctrine of election, what it is, by Dr. L. A. Townsley. The paper by P. E. B. S.

Dr. Hannah replied. A vote of thanks was tendered him. "There will be no meeting next Tuesday until April 12th. Visitors are always welcome. Dr. W. O. P. Sherman, one of our old members was in to see us. He gave a timely address. F B B ChrCh. The weather on Sunday morning was so beautiful that quite a large crowd attended church. The communion service was largely attended. Deacon and Mrs Brown brought a large crowd from Nicholsonboro and Rev Wright had them to stand and introduced them to the members. At night the seating capacity of the church was taxed to seat the large crowd that attended the Easter exercises of the Sunday School. The teachers and scholars acted well their part. The recitations and songs were line and they would have been creditable to older persons. Rev Wright commended the teachers highly for the work they are doing. HEALTH PREPARATIONS.

In starting your fleck do not think it always economy to pay small prices. Better pay for good foundation stock than low for animals that will ever after plague your sense of the fitness of things when you come to know more about them.-Farmers' Home Journal. The shrinking of corn varies according to the condition of the grain when put into the crib. Cases have been known in which corn lost 20 percent from shrinkage, the corn being damp. From 8 to 12 percent is the average, the shrinkage depending upon so many circumstances as to make an exact estimate very difficult, but, the rule is to allow 10 percent—Bromlomst. A farmer will make the common mistake of neglecting to give the farm water system proper attention. Before the ground freezes, all pipe connections should be made; while any underground trouble should be acertained, and immediately overcome. Windmills, pumps, tanks and hydrants should be carefully inspected, and fully repaired. Some of these will need banking up, to protect them from the severe, freezing, weather. Every water-pipe and cut-off must be well covered to prevent freezing. It's unhady and disagreeable working at these jobs during raw, wintry days, and you simply cannot afford to neglect a single item of preparation, at a session when it can be quickly and efficiently attended to.-M. A. Coverdell, in the Indiana Farmer. Bone Cutter Needed. There is really only one reason why every farmer poultryman should not have a bone cutter. That is, inability to secure a regular supply of fresh bones. But there are mighty few cases where this cannot be satisfactorily arranged, and at little or no expense. Often the farmer does his own butchering and has access in this way to large quantities of good fresh bones. Otherwise, the bones can be secured of almost any butcher and often he will make no charge for same, providing one will come and take them away from his shop. There is nothing "killing" about running a bone grinder—time was when it required enormous strength and "muscle, but modern machines run quite easily and smoothly. The cost of a cutter, and a few minutes of time every day or two expended in running it, will be found to be one of the best investments anyone who keeps chickens can possibly make. —Epitomist. Horses Digesting Food. A horseman of large observation in feeding horses says that if the horse had no other place to digest its food than the stomach it would be useless, as far as a day's work is concerned, as it would be all the time eating to maintain life. The digestion is carried on in the small intestine, which holds sixty-seven quarts, or 141 pounds and in case the horse is fed rough feed, such as hay, corn fodder or straw, without much grain, the food is not all digested until it reaches the large intestines, which hold 137 quarts or 238 pounds, six times as much the stomach. The horse is well supplied by nature to maintain life on any old thing. But it is our business from a strict standpoint to feed our horses for the work required of them. Take, for instance, the raco horse; feed him on roughness—what would you have to race with? Nothing but a day now. No the race horse must get his feet rich in nutrient and small bulk, easily digested and quickly out of the way. But, on the other hand, a heavy draft horse can be kept on more roughness with good results, at less cost. With the understanding of the small stomach of a horse, his meals should be small and at short intervals. A horse working hard and long days should be fed four times a day.—Weekly Witness. Vitality in Milk. Considerable discussion is going the rounds of the New England agricultural papers concerning the question of vitality in milk. The substance of the controversy is whether a cow puts vitality into her milk according to the vitality which she herself possesses. The Connecticut experiment station seems to be the first to use the term vitality in regard to milk. The Holstein breeders take this to be an argument to prove that the black and whites are the cows to furnish milk for the hales and invalids. Some of the theocles advanced to prove this conclusion are that a diseased cow will put disease germs in her milk. A healthy cow will produce, perfect, normal milk. A weak cow will hardly produce normal milk. Her milk will lack one or another element because her system is not in a condition to extract from her food and drink all the complex and delicate elements that go to make up normal or perfect milk. Some cows are able to bear and to wear vigorous calves, and some are so weak or so defective that most of their calves are born dead, die soon after. BIRTH and CROPS TESTIONS THE O-DATE TURIST birth, or live a life of weakness or worthlessness. The Holstein Register says: "Which of these two classes of cows may be counted the better source of milk for food for humans? Would any parent be willing to feed his infant on the milk of cows whose calves were born too weak to live on the milk of their mothers? Will the cow whose milk falls to keep alive her calf be a good foster mother for the human infants?" Gape Worms—Millet aa Feed. Mrs. A. E.' G., gives her description of removing gape worms from a chick's throat. Of course it is not gape worm, but gape worms, though there be but one full body in the throat. Just one pair will seldom hurt a chick. It will not suck enough blood to kill the chick, or fill enough space to choke it. But there lies the trouble, more than one hunts the throat. I like three doubled and well tristed horsehairs best. I keep these all through one season in a turpentine bottle. One must be careful, as even so little as a drop of turpentine in the windpipe will often kill the chick. Horse hairs are not so harsh as blue grass, and yet blue grass is quite effective. Where does the gape worm come from, and how does it get in the chick's windpipe? It either crawls there or is hatched there. The gape worm comes from the ground as other worms. Of course like all other specialized life it has come from simpler forms. It has evolved from a lower form, in which the reproductive organs of both sexes are in one body. But now, if you examine one taken from the chick's throat, you will find the worm has two heads, and the smaller head has a short body which is the male growing from the side of the female. Both sucker mouths fasten in the shape of the letter y on the windpipe; the bodies adhere, and so do the eggs. The chick picks up worms or eggs, and the crop retains them at least in part. If large enough, when picked from dirty water or the ground, or let loose from the bodies of fishing worms, they crawl straight into the windpipe. This has been proved, and also that they can hatch in the crop—and I think, from microscopic examination, in the folds of the windpipe also. Look at one through a small microscope or reading glass. They mature in eight days, when the combined bodies break apart and let out the eggs, when, of course, the parents die. Old fowl have them in plenty, so do crows, hawks, pigeons and wild birds. I saw two robins dying of the gapes last year. This is how they get to the chicks. There is no other worm now known exactly like the gape worm. It seems so strange to me to hear J. C. Clipp advising millet seed as a fine chick food. Millet seed in small quantities stimulates but I will not buy chick feed in which it is found in any quantity, and neither will some poultry keepers, prominent as great shippers of fine stock. I cannot think that I am wrong in this, because I am quite sure that I have known it to nearly decimate a flock of small chicks, and I have known older chicks, when fed it exclusively, to get miserably poor and stupid, and always go lame, and this is not because of its fattening quality but its power for causing kidney trouble, just as it dies if fed in the grass or hay too largely to horses. If I am wrong, then for a number of years I have been advising some people badly—Ida M. Shepler, in the Indiana Farmer. Notes. Bell every seventh sheep against dogs. Poor dogs are a curse to the sheep grower. No other kind of feed is better for ewes than clover. Do your best to have the dog laws made more stringent. For an all-round grain feed oats takes the blue ribbon. Oust the old wethers. They are a nuisance to the rest of the sheep family. Every day count the sheep and know that they are all in the flock. If any are missing, hunt them up. During cold weather it will be well to give the cow tempered water to drink. It will have its effect, upon the milk supply. Now and then a ration of wheat bran is good to keep the bowels regular. Sheep are apt to get constipated in cold weather. Give as much laxative food as you can. The care you give your sheep tells the story of the lambs you will get later. Neglect and poor feeding bring their harvest in scrawny, poor lambs. You don't want any each. Doctoring sheep that are slick is risky business. Keep them dry and warm and give them their own way about eating. This will usually bring them out all right unless they have some disease. Every day lot the sheep have a good walk. One way to do it is to feed them at a barn some distance from the place they regularly stay in. 'Or it may be to get water. Somehow let them stretch their legs. It is the price of health. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Woman suffers, and man groans. Going into politics, is climbing a greased pole. When a man isn't judged by his money it's by his clothes. What a woman hates about society is when she can't get into it. Old age knows a great deal when it is too late to do anything with it. An easy way to get into trouble in an argument is to have it about politics. It takes a woman not to cry when she is hurt and to do it when she isn't. The weather and his liver have the most to do with a man's point of view. The time a man wants to back his judgment the hardest is when it's wrong. It takes so long to save up a little money we try to spend it as quick as we can. The more children a man has the better other people think they could raise them. Most men would rather be the chief performer in a freak show than a good example. Half the energy a man puts into his whims would make him a wonder if put into his work. Hardly anybody is such an expert liar as the man who says he likes to work before breakfast. There are few things more exhausting than having to pretend to be amused by a funny man. Women have such a good influence on a man it is astonishing it doesn't seem to do him any good. Most everybody knows how to do some one thing if he wasn't so busy trying to do a lot of others he doesn't know how. The easiest thing for a young woman and a young man to fool themselves about is to think they want to get married. The fascinating thing about an argument is your hope that when the other fellow is right you might make somebody thinks he is wrong.—From "Reflections of a Bachelor," in the New York Press. THE FIRST·PANTOMIMES. Introduction on English Stage—The Favorite Subjects. The first pantomime introduced to the English stage was "Tavern Blikers," and was by John Weaver. This was in the year 1702. It was produced at Drury Lane. The great institutor of pantomime in England, was, however, John Rich, who deviser this form of entertainment in 1717. His first emphatic success was in 1724, when he produced "The Necromancer; or, History of Dr. Faustus." So successful was Rich with his pantomimes that Garick, Quin and others became exasperated. Rich lived to see pantomimes firmly established at Drury Lane and Ovent Garden. He died in 1761. Regarding the subjects of pantomimes, the most popular theme this year is, we are informed, "Clinderella," with "Babes in the Wood" second and "Dick Whittington" third. If the London and suburban pantomimes are taken alone "Clinderella" will again be first, while "Babes in the Wood" and "Aladdin" tie for second place. In London and the provinces "Clinderella" has been chosen fourteen times, "Babes in the Wood" twelve times and "Dick Whittington" ten times. Looking back over the last eighteen years we find that the most subjects have been "Clinderella," "Aladdin," "Dick Whittington," "Robinson Cruso," and "Babes in the Wood." In the order given."—From the Stage. The Record of Raindrops. It is by carefully noting small and apparently insignificant things and facts that men of science are enabled to reach some of their most surprising and interesting conclusions. In many places the surface of rocks, which millions of years ago must have formed sandy or muddy sea beaches, is found to be pitted with the impressions of raindrops. In England it has been noticed that in many cases the eastern sides of these depressions are, the more deeply pitted, indicating that the raindrops which formed them were driven before a west wind. From this the conclusion is drawn that in the remote epoch when the pits were formed the majority of the storms in England came from the west, just as they do today.—Harper's Weekly. Trouble In Vain. A bencvolent-looking old gentleman was walking along the street when he came upon on lrate parent lecturing his offspring. "Now, you young rascal," said the angry father, "cut off home, and before you go to bed to night I'll give you a good whipping." The old gentleman mildly demonstrated: "My dear sir, perhaps I have no right to interfere, but remember the wise old saying, 'Let not the sun go down upon thy wrath.'" "Don't you trouble yourself about that," was the reply: "I won't do anything of the sort. Oh, no! What I'm going to do is to let the wrath descend upon the son." And the old gentleman felt that there was little more to be said on this subject—New York Journal. Ozone is the best agent for purifying water, because, it adds, nothing except oxygen; which assists in aeration. Her Special Realm Mrs. Howe's Candidate. Mrx.Julia.Ward Howe is said to be largely,wardible for the election of George H. Fall as mayor of Malden, Mass. During the campaign one of Mr. Fall's opponents wrote a letter saying that though Mr. Fall had served in the legislature he had done nothing to attract attention. Mrs. Howe sent an immediate answer reminding the voters that it was Mr. Fall who introduced and carried through the legislature the bill making mothers equal guardians of their minor children with father. Mrs. Fall and his wife are both lawyers and their eldest daughter recently distinguished herself in the Boston University Law School—New York Sun. Virginia Buffrapoists Mrs. Benjamin B. Valentine has just been elected president of the newly organized suffrage club of Richmond, Va. The club may be said to have bounded into existence almost in one night. The women of Richmond had always shown themselves "violently opposed to giving the ballot to women. One prominent woman made a break by proposing such a club and within a few days the organization was formed and women of all classes applied for membership. Among the women who are leading in the movement are Mrs. Beverly B. Munford, Mrs. Charles V. Meredith, Miss Mary Johnston and Miss Glascow—New York Sun Giving of Photos Costly. Artistic photographs would seem costly enough in themselves, but they must be framed in a style suitable to that of the photograph. Therefore to present a copy of your picture, framed to every one of your friends means the heaping up a big bill. Miss Blanche Oelrichs has been giving to intimate friends charming photographs of herself, finished in the soft gray tones and framed with broad, flat frames of gray silver. The monogram of the giver was on one side, the monogram of the recipient on the other. A few fashionable women have their photographs farmed in platinum; but even Mrs. Newly Rich balks at the cost of such frames when she is going to give away many pictures.—New York Press. Charming Bouquets. The most charming bouquets of small flowers set in frills of blond lace and arranged in quaint designs have been sent from Philadelphia to some fortunate debutantes. As large as a breakfast plate in diameter, and of pyramidal shape, they have a cluster of woe rosebuds at the top, a row of white violets below, a star in pink sweet peas next, then violets again, a stiff rim of green leaves and the lace valance. A paper cone forms the holder and streamers dangle from it. These bouquets are an echo of the Japonica bouquets that graced each place at the White House formal dinners under President Pierce in 1853. These had wonderful cape ruffles of lace paper, and for that season no other flower was in favor.—New York Tribune. Forwarder as Marriages. Superstitious girls used to carry around tiny figures of St. Joseph to make certain of getting good husbands. The traffic in the images was great, and great, too, was the faith in the holy man's proxy power to make love affairs run smooth. But, alas! fashions in saints shift with the modern girl as do fashions in all other things. She prefers St. Nicholas now. The Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, daughter of the Russian ambassador in Washington, is the promoter of the new fad. St. Nicholas is supposed to be a wonderful worker, especially mindful of unmarried folk and those whose love affairs run far from smoothly. The Baroness Elizabeth told her chums about the superstition and presented an image to a girl who had had a misunderstanding with her true love. The result was delightful. The girl will be among the early winter brides—New York Press. For Debutante. Nothing will give greater pleasure to a debutante than one of the smart new decorations for wearing in 'the hair with evening frock. These are costly to buy, but can easily be copied by clever fingers. Acharming one is made from a three-quarter inch silver gauze ribbon with above it, an equal width of blue velvet ribbon, edged on the upper edge with silver pallettes or rhinestone or crystal beads. The band is caught to the head with tiny flowers cut from cloth of silver and a small wired bow of four loops, is made from the same material. The bow is placed slightly to the left of front, and from it rises a feathery, blue agnête. This, can be bought and brittened with small petches of wired silver tissue on silvered wire. Another headdress is made from gold net, ribbon and pink messaline ribbon wound, together in loose collars and run through the middle with seed pearls. To the front is a wired bow of the twisted materials, two long loops and two pointed ends.—New Haven Register. The Casement Craze. There is an element which has come into existence during the last few years known as "new art." The way the temples consecrated to its cult are known is by their long casements. The chief article in the credo of the exponents of this new art seems to be that you are all right. If you have a room with a long casement filled up with panes of diamond leaded glass and a casement curtain olive green for choice, drawn half way across the opening. It is no matter what the size or character of your room may be, it must not have windows but casements. If you wish to be accepted as one of the elect you must also, no matter what the character of your room may be, take care that the walls are done up in rough brown paper, as though it was your intention to paste a label on them, and send them off by express to their destination when you found time to search for string. Now, one of the casement windows is in its right and natural place in a cottage the cellings of which are necessarily low—not perhaps so low as those of the house in Ireland, where nothing but place could be put on the dining table, but still low enough for the windows to be a good deal broader than they are high; it is, however, absurdly out of place in a large apartment with a moderately high ceiling.—Queen. Women Who Walk. Walking for exercise is one of the means which New York City women have found effective in reducing weight and some of the most notable figures in society are seen every day on the avenue. Mrs. W. W. D. Sloane is one of the most regular pedestrians and every fair morning finds her on the avenue. It not infrequently happens that she will walk as far as the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Burden, in 91st street. In the winter Mrs. Sloane always wear a long seal coat which reaches to the hem of her skirt. From the other side of the street comes Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, who attributes her slight and youthful figure to her regular exercise in the open air. Mrs. Vanderbilt is almost always accompanied by a woman friends and usually leads one of her hair wired terriers, Mrs. Vanderbilt is of all the New York matrons of her age the slimmest. Mrs. Reeve Merritt never misses her morning walk, and she too is accompanied by her little dog, which sometimes finds it difficult to keep up the pace which she strikes. Mrs. Merritt has a Pomerman, which is also led on a leash. Mrs. Vanderbilt rarely appears with more of a wrap than the cloth coat of her walking suit and a fur about her neck. Mrs. Merritt usually wears a long astrochan coat below the hips except in milder weather, when she is seen in a black velvet walking suit and furs. No matron in New York society ever accomplished so much by her persistent pedestrianism as Mrs. Herman N. Oelrichs. She has grown very slim and attributes most of her loss of flesh to the persistence with which she has taken her daily walk. She also selects the morning hour when the avenue is comparatively deserted. Her exercise is somewhat more violent than that indulged in by others, since she generally keeps moving at a very rapid gait. MRS. I. T. Burden is seen less frequently on the lower avenue nowadays, but for years she was one of the pedestrians who were to be met daily on the stretch from Madison square, where her home used to be, up to Central Park. Miss Evelyn Burden, her older daughter, attributes her slight figure to her constant pedestrianism. The two Misses Gerry rarely miss their long walk on a fair day. —New York Sun. Fashion Notes. Long earrings are in style. Sleeves, are long and elaborate. Tiny, wavy "banga" are again in vogue. The old-fashioned polonaise is coming back. No gowns fit so tightly as they did last year. Skirts will grow wider, but they will not flare. Jackets will be short and will button up the slide. Sleeves are all either half-length or three-quarter. Odd settings are a feature of much attractive jewelry. Soft, wide meshes are found in nearly all the face vells. Most dresses touch the floor, but none of them is long. Pale yellow appears everywhere in wraps, gowns and hats. Princess forms prevail for dinner dresses and evening wear. Velvet is making up some of the handsomest walking gowns. Light, filmy chiffon muffs will be in style for evening affairs. The bolero is expected to be in great favor the coming season. The heavy crepe mourning vell is now rarely seen; instead there is a light net vell, bordered with crepe. The fur-collar not long ago was the recognized trimming for a cloak, but now embroidery takes its place. Since the fad runs to trimming all manner of garments it follows that excellent use is made of the opportunity to produce striking contrasts through the combination of the white material with dark trimming. A Great Library, and its Modern Giver. Milan has just been celebrating the three-hundred anniversary of the opening of her library, the famous Biblioteca Ambrosiana, which was founded by Cardinal Federico Borromeo, nephew of St. Charles of that name. There are many bigger libraries than this, though its 250,000 volumes make it of at least respectable size, but there is none in the world that possesses more precious books and manuscripts. There, for instance, is the Codex Atlanticicus of Leonardo da Vinci; there is Galileo's book on the "Wise Man," with the letter he wrote to the cardinal in presenting it, and there is a letter in the dainty hand of Luccezia Borgla, written to the historian Bembo and including a lock of her golden hair tied with a black ribbon. Cardinal Borromeo scoured the whole world for books. His agents were Venetian sea, captains, Genoese merchants, the diplomats of all nations in all lands. In the eight years from 1601 to 1609 he collected from Europe, Asia and Africa more than thirty thousand books, manuscripts, papyril and parchments, and presented them to the city of which he was archbishop. Not only this, but he built the library and hired Raphael, Titian, Leonardo da Vinci, Luini and other great artists to decorate it. And when he opened the library he wrote a guide to it and to its treasures, in which he showed himself a discerning-art critic and an intelligence lover of books. But so unlike the modern giver of libraries was Cardinal Börromeo that he did not place his own name above the door, but that of St. Ambrose, who had preceded him by many centuries in the diocese of Milan—New York World. The man who is easy toward his neighbor's fault is likely to be a decent sort. The fool and his money sometimes stick until he is salled hence. For the Great Benefit that Cardui, the Woman's Tonic, Was to Her When Sick. Paint Lick, Ky.—"I suffered so much from womanly trouble," writes Mrs. Mary Freeman, of Paint Lick, Ky., before I commenced to take Cardui. "I was so weak from it that I was down on my back nearly all the time. "I have taken three bottles of Cardui and it has done me more good than any medicine I ever took in my life. "I can't possibly praise it too highly, it has done so much for me and I will do all I can to help you, for I think it is the only medicine on earth that will cure female troubles."

Peachtree Inn Now Open to Tourists, Commercial Men and Translents. Atlanta, Ga.—An important change in one of Atlanta's hotels was made recently when beautiful Peachtree Inn passed into the control of Mr. Robert D. Edwards as lessee and manager. This is a modern family and tourist hotel, situated on beautiful Peachtree, the most fashionable thoroughfare in the city, where the guests can enjoy all the comforts of home life, away from the smoke and noise of the business center where the other large hotels are located. Mr. Edwards has thrown open his hotel to tourists and transients, and many commercial men and visitors who expect to remain several days in the city are availing themselves of the privilege of stopping at this popular hostel, where they are thrown with a select home-like circle of the best class of people. The Inn has 140 guest rooms; equipped with steam heat and electric light, with 40 private bath rooms, and is furnished throughout with all the modern hotel conveniences. It is conducted on the American plan with rates of $2.00 per day and up. A special rate is given by the week. Mr. Edwards is thoroughly overhauling the hotel throughout, installing new art squares, new furniture, recalcimining and painting throughout. The Inn contains a large, handsome ball room and fine orchestra, which is open to the guests and their friends. When you visit Atlanta alone, or with your wife or other members of your family, you will find it a pleasure to stop at the Peachtree Inn, where Mr. Edwards will be glad to entertain you, with the very best of everything. Electric cars pass directly in front of the hotel, affording easy access to all the theaters, churches and the shopping districts at all hours. Any further information desired will be furnished by addressing Robert D. Edwards, 391 Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga. At the Railway Station. Has the two-thirty train gone?

WELL KIDNEYS KEEP THE BODY WELL. When the kidneys do their duty the blood is filtered clear of uric acid and other waste. Weak kidneys do not filter off all the bad matter. This is the cause of rheumatic pains, backache and urinary disorders. Doan's Kidney Pills cure weak kidneys. Henry J. Brown, 53 Columbus St. Charleston, S. C. says: "For two years I suffered with my kidneys. Rheumatic pains drove me nearly frantic. My limbs swelled. Nothing helped me until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and by that time I had nearly given up hope. They brought me quick relief and a final cure." Remember the name—Doan's, Solid by all dealers.

Persecuted in Some Parts, Protected as a Bird of Good Luck in Others' In the Baltic provinces and throughout northern Germany and in Denmark the stork is met with everywhere during the summer months. While traveling the other day from Danzig to Marienberg I saw several in the fields and on nests upon buildings quite close to the railway. In Denmark, however, it is less numerous since the draining of the morasses was begun. It is still fairly common in Holland and Belgium, but in France, owing to its being persecuted and the fact of none of the original race surviving, it is seen only as a bird of passage. In Alsace and Lorraine its better treatment is rewarded by a certain number remaining during the summer to breed. In passing through Savoy in April and in the early autumn it meets with heartless persecution, especially on its return toward the south, when the young birds are often much fatigued. It occurs generally throughout Turkey and is fairly common in Greece. It is met with occasionally in central Italy and Sicily, and is plentiful in some parts of Andulsa. It is believed that on one of their migrations which took place a little after the middle of last century the white storks experienced some sort of catastrophe, as they returned in greatly reduced numbers, and ever since then they have been considerably less numerous than before. The periods of mitigation with the storks are very regular. They arrive in central Europe generally between March 19 and 25 and prepare to depart in about the end of August, first congregating in large bands, which break up as the adult individuals come and collect the young together to conduct them southward. It appears that they migrate in large flocks, flying mostly by night. The males and females, it is supposed, migrate separately, the former undoubtedly arriving about a week before the latter to take charge of the old nest or to settle on a favorable spot for nidification. Wherever the stork is met with in Europe, excepting in parts where its occurrence is rare, where it meets with the common fate of rarity, it is protected. The peasants mostly hold it as sacred and consider it as a sort of protector or house god to the house on which it nests, and one will sometimes sell a nest to a neighbor to bring him luck, in which case the bird will discover the new situation of its nest and continue to occupy it. Often an old wheel or something else inviting is fixed on a roof to induce a stork to build. The nest itself is constructed of branches and twigs, neatly lined with grass, straw or any other suitable material. It takes up much space and every year it is added to, so that the peasant upon the roof of whose house it rests is obliged sometimes, when the bird is absent, to remove a portion of it in order to lessen its weight.—Westminster Gazette. Respects to Seneca G. Young. When the editor of the Advocate came to Tipton, eight years ago, to take up his residence, one of the first men he met was Mayer S. G. Young, and upon being introduced Seneca remarked: "You may be all right, but I never did like a d—republican" and he proceeded to give attention to a letter he was writing. During the 12 years in which he acted in the capacity of chief executive of the city he performed his duties honestly and conscientiously. As stated above, politically, Seneca Young is a son of a gun, and not a word or a syllable that he utters can be taken seriously, but personally, as a man and a neighbor, there are few better. He is honest and sincere and loves his fellow-man. He is sympathetic to a fault, and a heart of no small magnitude beats beneath his waistcoat, as many can attest who have seen him put to the test in their own behalf. He does not proclaim his charity on the street corners, but those who know Seneca Young best know his real worth. Glad that we have no more of you for mayor, Seneca, but when you step down and out next Monday the well wishes of the people of Tipton will go with you and "may you live long and prosper."—Titun Advocate. Whistling and Weeping Trees. Among the curiosities of tree life is the sofar, or whistling tree of Nobia. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out flutelike sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It is the spirit of the dead singing among the branches, the natives say, but the scientific white man says that the sounds are due to a myriad of small holes which an insect bores in the spines of the branches. The weeping tree of the Canary Islands is another arboreal freak. This tree in the driest weather will rain down showers from its leaves, and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk and find it pure and fresh. The tree exudes the water from innumerable pores at the base of the leaves.—Chicago Journal.

A Kansan sat on the bench at Atlantic City watching a fair and fat bather disporting herself in the surf.

Presumably he will lose his job, as he was unable to pay the fine and will have to serve a fall term. Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left. "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuticura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair, off and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the creams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

The excessive mortality of overweights has been published by life insurance statisticians, and the phenomenon must be considered in football discussions. It is now a proved fact that the men who are barred from the game are the ones who live the longest, and though mere length of life is no criterion of its usefulness, yet it is a fair assumption that the longest lived are the most vigorous and therefore the best brain workers. The colleges are then spending the most money on the students who will give the least returns. Every now and then some ingenious fellow publishes statistics showing that students able to take part in sports outlive those too defective to take part at all, as though that needed numerical proof, The new statistics show that the healthy underweights excluded from football are fitter for survival in America than the overweights of the teams.

MAD GANDER SAVES CHILD FROM DEATH BY AUTOMOBILE MAD GANDER SAVES CHILD FROM DEATH BY AUTOMOBILE Causes Machine to Upset As It Neared Baby in Road---The Grouch Redeems Itself---Fowl, a Terror For Ten Years, Inadvertently Does One Good Act and Dies. Muskogee Has a Club of Fourteen Members Who Meet Daily to Train Off Obesity; INVENTS A POCKET WIRELESS. German Priest Exhibits Apparatus to Scientific Body Montville, N. J.—A bad tempered old gander, known to everybody in the village as "The Grouch," redeemed a bad reputation of ten years' standing, and at the same time lost its life, in saving Agnes Stilton, three years old, from death under the wheels of an automobile. When the child was ready to go out and have her usual comp' in the little-frequented read the hired man chased the gander into the smoke house and closed the door by means of an old fashioned wooden button. It was necessary to take this precaution inasmuch as there was nothing "The Grouch" liked so much as to pursue the little girl with flapping wings and shrill squawks. In this way every time it had a chance it would frighten her into the house, leaving it in undisturbed possession of the road. Whether the smoke house door was not buttoned tight or the gander squeezed through a crack, or flee out a window, is not known, but at any rate Agnes had not been playing long when "The Grouch" sailed into the road, raising the dust, hissing and flapping its wings, and making for her with all its might: "Mamma!" cried the little child in terror, shielding its face with its outspread hands. Just then a touring car, driven by Harold Grant, of East Orange, rounded the sharp turn in the road. The barn stands at the turn, cutting off the view in both directions. The road rarely is used by automobiles, and this is the reason why the Stilton child was permitted to play there. Grant was going fast on a level stretch, and as he swept around the turn the old white gander stood up so large in his startled vision he did not see the fleeing girl beyond. The gander's neck was stretched to its full extent and the wings were spread wide apart. That was no time to stop, and when, an instant after seeing the goose, Grant spied the little girl ahead, he let out a yell of alarm that brought all the folk out of the Stilton and I farmhouse on the rush. The East attack GIRLS ROLL OVER TO Muskogee Has a Club of For Meet Dally to Train Muskogee, Okla.—Society matrons and buds who are inclined to obesity have organized a "Roller Club" here. They are getting so thin their relatives and friends are alarmed. The fad is spreading too. Everything fat and feminine here is on the roll. They roll before breakfast, before luncheon, before dinner and before going to bed. Constant rolling over the floor may wear the nap off the carpet, but that matters little so long as it wears the fat off the roller. The founder of the roller cult is a pretty widow who, until she rolled her superfluous flesh off, was one of the stoutest creaturews west of the Mississippi. Her friends and associates noticed she was losing flesh. At first they were alarmed, fearing her health was breaking and that the loss of flesh was the outward and visible sign of early dissolution. She INVENTS A POCKET German Priest Exhibits Appar --- Berlin.—A wireless pocket telegraph apparatus was exhibited by the inventor, Professor Cerebotani, the priest in charge of the Munich parish, during a scientific lecture before an audience of persons engaged in the various branches of scientific investigation. The instrument consists of a wooden base, with the letters of the alphabet thereon arranged in a circle. A small metal indicator swings on a pivot in the centre, so adjusted as to respond to the wireless dot and dash currents and spell out Wear Wire Rats. Ladies---- "If You Don't You'll Get Bald." Boston. "The pilling of false hair, which doesn't allow the air to get at the scalp, is the great cause for the increase of baldness among women," said Dr. C. J. White, dermatologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, lecturing at the Harvard Medical School on the care of the skin in health and disease. "Wear wire rats and puffs," said Dr. White. "They look just as well, and are more economical and more healthful." Orange man involuntarily closed his eyes to avoid witnessing the tragedy he felt, as he said afterward, was sure to happen. But it didn't. The automobile struck the gander full tilt, but the impact swerved the front wheels out of their course, and by the time "The Grouch" had come down, lifeless, from its skyrocket flight, the auto had darted diagonally across the road and was lying upside down in the ditch. Grant had instinctively let go the steering wheel at the psychological moment, and he shot over the top of a post-and-rall fence and stuck, feet up, in a pile of fertilizing material. He lost no time in withdrawing his head from the mess, and then fell on his knees and prayed—just why, he says, he doesn't know. As for Agnes, all had happened so quickly she hadn't had time to be scared at anything but the mean old gauder. She whimpered a bit when she saw how thoroughly and completely dead the gander was. Then she stood and watched her father and other persons right the automobile and set it on its way. "The Grouch" is to be stuffed and mounted. "The bird ain't deserving of it," said Stilton, "but, howsomeer, it saved my girl's life, though it didn't mean to, and I'll do a good turn." "The Grouch," which in its younger days was called "Peter," was for more than a decade a terror, not only to the other fowl in Farmer Abner Stilton's barnyard, but also to Mrs. Stilton and all the children in the neighborhood. It was a cantankerous bird with an evil eye, and when it got after either dog or child there was sure to be some tall running to get out of the way. Stilton's Muscovy duck, "Sarah Jane," was the only living thing with wings that even put up a fight. When "The Grouch" and "Sarah Jane" got going everybody flocked to hear the noise and see the feathers fly. Several years ago the gander chased a tomcat up a hemlock tree by the well and kept it there until the cat was attacked and killed by a large hawk. TO REDUCE FLESH Fourteen Members Whoain Off Obesity. laughed at the fears expressed and finally admitted, she had done it all by rolling over and on the floor. "It is the style to be hipless now, and one might as well be dead as to be out of style," she said. "I discovered that rolling reduces flush and removes hips, and I have been keeping it up. I hope that ultimately I shall be as willowy as the willowest." That settled it. The fat women held a meeting and organized the "Roller Club." Men who pass the day in the street dodging automobiles now pass the evenings at home dodging their rolling wives and daughters, who simply are fading away as a result of the exercise. The women vie with each other in the number of rolls made. The average is 100. The highest score is 250. Many of the women wear pajamas for rolling exercise, such garments interfering less than do skirts. CKET WIRELESS. apparatus to Scientific Body the message. The apparatus is very simple. It is somewhat larger than the ordinary card case. Professor Cerebotani, who is noted as an amateur scientist, stated that a French journalist had attributed to him erroneously the invention of a wireless pocket telegraph instrument some time ago. He wrote to the journal denying the invention. However, his letter was not published, and accordingly nothing remained for him in the way of vindication except to invent the apparatus described, which he proceeded to do.

Lillis, was called in, the Municipal Court here, neither Cudahy nor Lillis appeared. "This case won't be prosecuted, will it?" Judge Kyle inquired. "I don't believe so," replied the City Attorney. "Let's dismiss it, then," the Judge suggested. But the City Attorney insisted that the case be continued.

To the Worslipful Masters, Wardens and Brethren; This comes to officially inform you that on Monday, March the 21st, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock in the day, our Orphans' Home at Americus was struck by lightning and almost wrecked. I have just returned from there. Fifty-five windows, with their frames, were torn out; the right hand tower was wrecked and split to the ground and will have to be taken down and re-built; the left tower has a large hole torn in it. The entire roof (which we put on two years ago at a cost of over $700) will have to be put on again. The sealing in our main auditorium has several great holes torn through it. There, were between sixty-five and seventy children in the school room on the ground floor at the time and the bolt passed directly under them and, as our heavenly Father would have it, not one was injured. Truly "He moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." This is something we could not help. It is God's hand laid upon us. Let us rejoice and thank Him that it is no worse. Now, we must take fresh hope and courage and come together as one great family and repair our loss. God will help all who will make a sacrifice, to repair the home and school. I shall not set any assessment on any lodge, but I have partly pictured to you the condition and will tell you what we need and will leave it to you brethren to do your duty. I shall make special note of the lodges giving the greatest amount to the cause. It will take fully three thousand dollars to do the work. We have fifteen hundred dollars recommended by the insurance agent; hence, that leaves us to raise at once fifteen hundred dollars to make the three thousand dollars. Now, we can raise that in two weeks if every lodge will act at once and do its duty. In order that you may not get this mixed with your Grand Lodge claims please send it directly to the Grand Master. I will receipt you for it, record it and report it in my address to the Grand Lodge. Trusting for peace and harmony's continuous stay with us, I am Atlanta, Ga., 184 Auburn avenue. The above is also respectfully referred to the many Eastern Star chapters of the state. In addition to the regular amounts donated, each chapter is requested to send a special donation as soon as a meeting can be held, to Grand Master H. R. Butler, 184 Auburn avenue, Atlanta, Ga., who will give full credit. Our chapters must respond liberally to this call. Approved: SOL C. JOHNSON, R. G. P. MRS. V. E. HART, R? G. M. A. MASONIC CAREER. "Plan your work and work your plan," somebody has tritely said, and it applies with particular force to a Masonic career: Your Masonic career must be built. It must be built bit by bit, and if the work is to be well done and the structure is a strong and shapely one; if it is to be as it ought to be built, for eternity, then you need a plan to guide you. No important structure was ever built without one. The plan of your Masonic career must be sketched by your imagination on the mind. You must carry there and keep always before your eyes, a picture of the Masonic career you want to live. This will be your plan and while you work laboriously in the sweat and heat of the day, building piece by piece, higher and higher, turn-to your complete picture for encouragement and inspiration. And how is the picture to be developed? This is the work of your ambition. To be ambitious, is to dream too long, to aspire to be something greater than we are. It is a desire to conquer, to win, to make the very most of one's self. And it is a magnificent thing for a man to strive with all the power that is in him to make the most of himself. The desire to distinguish one's self in Masonic circles is laudable and commendable.—Masonic Home! Journal. NEWSY GLEANINGS. The Chesapeake and Ohio bought control of the Hocking Valley system.

Salt Lake City is reported to be overrun with carpenters. The Big Four depot in Springfield, Ohio, will be erected by union labor. The mines of Butte, Mont., have a combined payroll of $3,000,000 a year. The American Typographical Union's benefits last year amounted to $303,000. The Brotherhood of Railway Qlerks will hold its annual convention in New Orleans. The labor unions in Utica, N. Y., own a lot upon which they propose to erect a labor temple. The total membership of the unions in Austria in 1892 was 44,606; in 1907 it was 501,094. Philadelphia carmen strikers issued a proclamation modelled after the Declaration of Independence. Hotel and Restaurant Employees' International paid $70,928 in sick benefits in the last fiscal year. The building trades in Germany anticipated a heavy fight, but have been preparing for it for a long time. The Dallas (Texas) Central Labor Council has been chartered recently by the American Federation of Labor. A local union of the Cloth Hat and Cap Makers' Union of North America has been formed in Brooklyn, N. Y. There are 250,000 unorganized women workers in New York City, and only 15,000 women trade unionists at present. The Lackawanna Railroad Company has granted an increase from five to ten cents an hour to all shopmen on the system. The exhibit which the International Typographical Union had at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition has been turned over to the Washington State Board of Health.

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF THE MONO-RAIL ABROAD THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF THE MONO-RAIL ABROAD Nearly two years have passed since Mr. Louis Brennan displayed before a body of English engineers a working model) of a railway car exemplifying the features of the gyroscopic mode of locomotion. He has now demonstrated in a fashion quite conclusive to the scientific press of Europe that all the claims then made for the mono-rail are practically realized. Intense interest has therefore been awakened in the prospect of soon propelling railroad cars on a single line of rail laid on the ground. They will be maintained upright by means of gyroscopic control, and, in the light of the demonstration just made, they will turn sharp curves and ascend steep gradients. Apart from this gyroscopic control, the railroad cars would capsize. Mr. Brennan imparts stability to his vehicles, as London Engineering notes, through the same principle which we see on its greatest scale when Nature steadies the movements of the heavenly bodies in their orbits. The earth revolves on its ```markdown ``` THE MIRACLE OF BALANCE.

The cost of construction of railroads per mile will be reduced one-half by this invention, and the cost of operation by fully two-thirds. own axis, our contemporary explains, says, Current Literature, "In the same direction as you deal a hand at cards or pass the port, from right to left." It also moves on its orbit around the sun in the same direction. Dickens' Last Words. The most interesting person at the recent Dickens Bazaar at Caxton Hall was Miss Georgina Hogarth, Miss Hogarth is 84. She was a child when she went to live under the roof of "But besides these two movements there is a third, which was discovered by the Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who lived in Bithynia about 160 to 125 B.C. He made several important contributions to scientific knowledge, but by far the most valuable one, which he must have obtained by analyzing the Chaldean observations recorded for the previous 1500 years, was that the axis of the earth has a special top-like motion—known as 'precession'—in the opposite direction to that in which the earth itself rotates. If you mount a gyroscope, or magic top (a flywheel within a ring), upon a long pair of spindle-legs with pointed extremities, which will not hold themselves upright when the flywheel is at rest, you will find that rotating the flywheel keeps the whole structure steady. By degrees, of course, the outer circle increases its precession to a point at which a fall is inevitable; but, as Lord Kelvin pointed out, 'hurry on the precession and the top rises.' That is to say, in this kingdom of anomalies we are investigating, if you increase a movement which would, unaided, have produced a fall, you actually prevent that fall from taking place. "The peculiar property of 'gyrostatic domination' has been known, therefore, to exist. But Mr. Brennan is the first to investigate fully those stresses which it causes in the spindle-legs of the instrument I have described, and he is the first to discover a practical way of automatically 'hurrying the precession' in a manner which enables a machine containing his invention to keep its own balance under all conditions.

The most interesting person at the recent Dickens Bazaar at Caxton Hall was Miss Georgina Hogarth, Miss Hogarth is 84. She was a child when she went to live under the roof of her brother-in-law, Charles Dickens, and she remained a member of his household till the final summons came to the great novelist. She was with him when he was struck down. His last words were "On the ground." She alone heard them. It is generally supposed that Miss Hogarth was in Dickens's mind when he follted down in his notebook the following outline of a "character" for future use: "She—sacrificed to children, and sufficiently rewarded. From a child herself always 'the children' (of somebody else) to engross her. And so it comes to pass that she is never married; never herself has a child; is also devoted to 'the children' (of somebody else); and they love her; and 'she has always youth dependent on her till her death—and dies quite happily."—Lady's Pictorial.
