TOPOGRAPHIC WORK BY THE GEOLOGIC SURVEY Survey of the Forest Area in California—Accuracy of Stream Measurements Under the general direction of Mr. Richard U. Goode, geographer, topographic work is being prosecuted by the United States Geological Survey in various localities in California during the present field season. In the northern part of the State a special map is being made of the Keswick mineral region, including an area of about 30 square miles. A portion of this area is included in the Government map of the Redding quadrangle, which has been recently surveyed on the scale of about 2 miles to the inch. The special map will be on the scale of about 1 mile to 3 inches, the larger scale being necessary to a proper study of the geological questions involved in this important district. The party engaged in this work is in charge of Mr. A. B. Scarle. In the central portion of the State two parties are operating, the areas to be surveyed being within or adjacent to the Sierra Forest Reserve. One of the parties is in charge of Mr. R. B. Marshall, with Messrs. George R. Davis and L. D. Ryus as principal assistants. The party received its outfit at Fresno, and will complete the survey of the Keswer Peak quadrangle, commenced during the previous season, which includes the upper portion of the San Joaquin river. This party will also extend spirit levels so as to afford vertical control for future topographic work in the Mount Silliman and King River Canyon region. The second party in Central California is in charge of Mr. E. T. Perkins, whose principal assistants are Messrs. A. I. Oliver and W. V. Hardy. This party received its outfit at Visalia, and will survey the section in the vicinity of Kaweah and Three Rivers, an area of nearly 1,000 square miles, including the headwaters of the principal tributaries of the Tulare river. ACCURACY OF STREAM MEASUREMENTS The division of hydrography of the United States Geological Survey has recently conducted, through Prof. E. Argument Against Trusts Continued from First page the meddling was done in a spirit of class or sectional rancor. "It is desirable that this power should be possessed by the nation, but it is quite as desirable that the power should be exercised with moderation and self-restraint. The first exercise of that power should be the securing of publicity among all great corporations doing an interstate business. The publicity, though noninquisitorial, should be real and thorough as to all important facts with which the public has concern. "The full light of day is a great discourager of evil. Such publicity would by itself tend to cure the evils of which there is just complaint, and where the alleged evils are imaginary it would tend to show that such was the case. When publicity is attained it would then be possible to see what further should be done in the way of regulation." "Above all, it behooves us to remember not only that we ought to try to do what we can, but that our success in doing it depends very much on our neither attempting nor expecting the impossible. Distrust the man who offers you a patent cure-all for the evils of the body politic, just as you would distrust him who tries to sell you a medicine to cure all the diseases of your corporal bodies. "Mankind has moved slowly upward through the ages sometimes a little faster, sometimes a little slower, but rarely, indeed, by leaps and bounds. At times a great crisis comes in which a great people, perchance led by a great man, can at white heat strike some mighty blow for the right—make some long stride in advance along the path of order, liberty and justice. But normally we must be content if each of us can do something, by no means all that we wish, but still something for the advancement of those principles of righteousness which underlie all real national greatness, all real civilization. I see no promise of a complete solution for all the problems we group together when we speak of the trust." The division of hydrography of the United States Geological Survey has recently conducted through Prof. E. C. Murphy, of Cornell University, a series of experiments to ascertain the accuracy of the methods of stream measurement in general use. The extreme and rapid fluctuations of the velocity of every stream have long made measurements of flow a matter of more or less uncertainty among hydraulic engineers. Users of water for power, supply, and other purposes are everywhere interested in these measurements, which also form an important part of the work of the division of hydrography in its study of the country's water resources. The methods compared and tested by Professor Murphy were those commonly employed; viz., measurements by weir, floats, rods, and current meter. As the result of the experiments, it was found that by using the current meter, the method commonly employed by the Geological Survey, the discharge of the Cornell experimental canal was determined within 1 per cent of accuracy. In the measurement of ordinary streams, where the conditions are less perfect, the error by current-meter measurement is estimated at considerably less than 5 per cent. TRIANGULATION IN WESTERN MONTANA FOREST RESERVE COMPLETED A preliminary report from Mr. R H. Chapman, topographer, dated Tamrack-on-the-Stillwater, Montana, August 12, indicates the progress of the work of triangulation in Western Montana, in the Lewis and Clarke and Flathead forest reserves, which is later to be followed by topographic mapping. In this report the completion of triangulation in the Lewis and Clarke Reserve is announced. This forest reserve was created in 1897, and has an area of 4,572 square miles. It occupies the crest of the Rocky Mountain Range for its entire width in northwestern Montana, in one of its most rugged portions, some of the peaks reaching an altitude of over 10,000 feet. The region is of great importance for its forest resources, and also as embracing the headwaters of a number of streams of value for purposes of irrigation. The plans for this season's work include the extension of triangulation over the western part of the Flathead Forest Reserve and across the Kootenai river, embracing the area between this stream and the eastern Idaho line which has been proposed as a timber reserve; the work is then to be connected with the monuments marking the Canadian boundary, and with the triangulation stations near the Idaho valley. At times a great crisis comes in which a great people, perchance led by a great man, can at white heat strike some mighty blow for the right—make some long stride in advance along the path of order, liberty and justice. But normally we must be content if each of us can do something, by no means all that we wish, but still something for the advancement of those principles of righteousness which underlie all real national greatness, all real civilization. I see no promise of a complete solution for all the problems we group together when we speak of the trust question. But we can make a beginning in solving these problems, and a good beginning, if only we approach the subject with a sufficiency of resolution, of honesty and of that hard, common sense which is one of the most valuable, and unfortunately, not one of the most common, assets in the equipment of any people. "I think the national administration has shown its firm intention to enforce the laws as they now stand on the statute books, without regard to persons, and I think that good has come from this enforcement. I think furthermore, that additional legislation should be had, which will enable us to accomplish much more than has been accomplished along these same lines. No one can promise you a perfect solution, at least in the immediate future, but something has already been done, and much more can be done if our people temperately and determinely will that it shall be done. "In conclusion, let me add one word: While we are not to be excused if we fail to do whatever is possible through the agency of the government, we must ever keep in mind that no action by the government, no action by any combination among ourselves, can take the place of the individual qualities to which in the long run each man must owe his success. There never has been devised, and there never will be devised, any law which will enable a man to succeed save by the exercise of those qualities which have always been the prerequisites of success—the qualities of hard work, of keen intelligence, of unflinching will. No action by the state in any form can do more than supplement the initiative of she individual, and ordinarily the action of the state can do no more than secure to each individual the chance to show, under as favorable conditions as possible, the stuff of which he is made." Devoured by Worms Children often cry, not from pain but from hunger, although fed abundantly. The entire trouble arises from inanition. Their food is not assimilated, but devoured by worms. A few doses of White's Cream Vermifuge will cause them to cease crying and begin to thrive at once, very much to the surprise and joy of the mother. 25 cents at J. P. Hatzfeld's.

Another check-base has been measured near Kallspel, and will be connected with the main system through the necessary stations. DEEP WELLS IN SOUTH DAKOTA. According to a recent list of well borings in South Dakota over 400 feet deep, published in No. 61 of the Water Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, out of about 350 borings 65 are over 1,000 feet deep and two reach a depth of 2,500 feet, or nearly half a mile. The majority of these wells have strong artesian flows, with sufficient head to raise the water in open pipes from 100 to 500 feet above the surface. This great pressure is used to furnish power for a variety of purposes. At Aberdeen the sewerage is pumped away by power derived from an artesian well; and elsewhere in the State electricity is generated for light and power purposes. The power from the wells can be easily controlled, and greatly adds to their value; its use does not interfere with subsequent use of the water for other purposes.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, catfish farm bank several adequate More Records The campaign at the sugar factory this year is certainly a hummer. Superintendent Hamilton stated yesterday that not only has the daily slicing exceeded all former records, but the juices are clear and free from trouble-some properties, the percentage of extraction is higher than ever before, and the quality of the sugar produced has never been excelled anywhere. The conditions which contribute to these excellent conditions seem to be be first, beets ripening in perfect condition; second, machinery and fittings in exact repair at the commencement of the campaign; third, an excellent class of employees to handle the work not to mention the high class of ability in Superintendent Hamilton and his assistants. They have to their credit so far this campaign the best all round work ever done in an American sugar factory. Tersely, the factory has been working regularly on 17 per cent beets, 10 to 25 per cent above theoretical capacity. Following is the record for the past week: Tons sliced Per cent sugar Per cent purity Thursday 562 17.8 83.8 Friday 903 16.8 81.7 Saturday 415 16.6 82.9 Sunday 799 16.6 81.5 Monday 903 16.6 81.7 Tuesday 878 16.0 81.0 Wednesday 780 15.9 80.2 On Saturday a 12-hour shut-down was devoted to a clean-up. The 24-hour record of the factory this year was made on Thursday of last week, when 90 tons were sliced—468 in the day; Count Holstein in charge, and 483 tons in the night with Fred Noble in charge. The 24-hour record previous to this year was in 1899, when 895 tons were sliced—426 in the day, under B. F. Arndt and Geo. M. Shaffer, and 469 in the night under Holstein and Krause. The best 12-hour record of this year is 502 tons, with Fred Noble in charge and Frank Noble and J. B. Hayes on the battery. The best previous 12-hour run was in 1889—469 tons with Krause and Holstein in charge and J. N. Grogan and M. E. Simmons in the battery.

Corbin and Young and Brig.-Gen Wood were presented to Emperor William on Saturday at the Markendorf parade field, near Frankfort-on-the-Oder, after the parade was finished. Gen. Corbin was presented first. The Emperor welcomed him most cordially. Among His Majesty's first words were hearty thanks for the attentions shown to Prince Henry during the latter's visit to the United States. After further conversation, Emperor William presented Gen. Corbin to the Empress. While Gen. Corbin was conversing with Her Majesty, the other Americans were presented to the Emperor. The whole scene is impressive, and additional splendor was added to it by the presence of Lord Roberts, Mr. Broderick, the British Secretary of State for War, and a party in brilliant British uniforms who had been presented before the American generals. Emperor William invited all the American generals, with their aides, and Lieut.-Col. John B. Kerr, the United States military attach at Berlin, to dine with him at the new palace, Potsdam, Monday night. On the special train going to Frankfurt-on-the-Oder was Prince Henry, who came up especially from Hamburg for the parade. In the royal waiting room at the Freiderichstrasse station the American party were presented to him. Prince Henry conversed with the Americans all the way to Frankfurt-on-the-Oder, speaking enthusiastically of his American trip and the friends he had made in the United States. He expressed his purpose to visit the United States again after his naval service is completed, but more privately than on the occasion of his visit, so as to have a better opportunity to study the country and its people. Raised from the Dead C. W. Landis, porter for the Oriental hotel, Chanute, Kan., says: "I knew what it was to suffer with neuralgia; 'deed I did, and I got a bottle of Ballard's Snow Liniment and I was 'raised from the dead.' I tried to get some more, but before I had 'deposed' of my bottle I was cured entirely. I am tellin' de truth, too." 25c, 50c and $1 at J. P. Hatzfeld's. COLOR IN FLAGS.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. A Communication MR.

Red Predominates Largely In the Standards of the Chief Nations. Though the policy of military anthorities in using less glaring colors in uniforms has been very marked of late years red remains the most popular color for national standards. Of 25 countries 19 have flags with red in them, the list including the United States England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico, Chile, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba. The countries which have blue as an element of their flags are the United States, Russia, France, England, Holland, Ecuador, Sweden, Chile, Venezuela, Portugal and Cuba. Three countries have black as one of the elements of their flags, Germany, Belgium and China, but Germany is the only one of three which has black and white together. There are five countries (excluding from consideration Ireland, the familiar flag of which is not officially recognized among the national standards) which have green as a color; Brazil, the flag of which is green chiefly; Mexico, Egypt, Italy and Persia. There are nine countries in which the flag is partly of yellow. These countries are Austria, Spain, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden, China, Persia, Brazil and Venezuela. Countries with flags partly white are the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy, six of the seven chief powers. There is no white in the national standard of England, but the British naval flag has a white background. Other countries having white in their flags are Switzerland, Turkey, Persia Japan, Mexico Holland Denmark Portugal Cuba Chile and Ecuador, the flag of which is nearer white than any other country being made up of two parallel white columns between which is a column of blue upon which are white stars.—New York Sun. An English paper tells of a clergy man who had two curates with the older of whom he was at swords' points. On being appointed to another living he decided to take with him the younger curate, whom he liked, and when he came to preach his farewell sermon he chose as his text: "Abide ye here with the asa, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship." Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. A Communication MR. EDITOR—Allow me to speak a few words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I suffered for three years with bronchitis and could not sleep at nights.

The orange of Louisiana is an exceptionally fine variety of that fruit, and commands a good price in the market. The orange was first introduced into colonial Louisiana by the Jesuits, having been first grown by the members of the society on their grounds, which formerly comprised that part of the city of New Orleans which constitutes the lower part of the first district, down to Common street. While St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes are the chief centers of the orange culture of Louisiana, the fruit also grows well in the parishes of Orleana, Jefferson, St. James, St. John Baptist, St. Charles, Assumption, St. Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Vermillon, Cameron, Iberia and Sabina. The orange tree begins to bear at about the seventh year, although it is not reckoned to have reached its full growth until its twelfth or fifteenth year. The orange culture in Louisiana is probably the most profitable industry of the state under favorable conditions, a full grown tree producing from 8,000 to 5,000 oranges, the fruit on the tree generally selling for $10 a thousand, and as some of the largest orchards in the state yield as many as 8,000,000 oranges their market value gives a princely income to the owners of the trees. Comparatively a very small acreage of the state is devoted to the growth of oranges—possibly not more than 9,000 acres. The sweetness, delicacy and juiciness of the Louisiana orange, the best of which are regarded in the markets outside of Louisiana as superior to even the oranges of Cuba, to which island the fruit is indigenous, render the Louisiana oranges highly prized in the north and west of the United States, so much so that the supply is not by any means equal to the demand.—New Orleans Picayuna. TAYLOURS AND SMYTHS. They Were the Commonwealth Trades In the Thirteenth Century. The manufacture of leather in the thirteenth century seems to have been important, showing that leather jerkins and breeches were commonly worn. We have 19 skynners, 40 barkara, 6 saddlera, 8 cordeweners, 167 souters (shoemakers) and 8 glovers. The surpises only happiness ends in disappointment and misery. This is very true of marriage. The young wife goes heart and soul into home making and housekeeping. She loves to cook and prepare the dainties her husband enjoys. She is so robust and hearty that she can hardly find enough to do to exhaust her abundant energy. That's the way it begins. After a while she finds that it takes all her strength to care for her home. Then household cares begin to overtax her, and she drops down in one chair many a time and gives way to tears because of her weakness and misery. The sky so cloudless on the morning of marriage has soon become overcast. THE CRITICAL TIME in many a woman's life comes just at this period of discouragement and despair. She finds indications of disease of the delicate womanly organs. Her women friends perhaps tell her that the bearing down sensation, the pains in the cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is worth noting that these cures are lasting. Many medicines offered for women's use are mere palliatives. They numb the nerves and so dull the pain. But they do not re-establish the lost womanly health. "Favorite Prescription" is a purely vegetable preparation. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or any other narcotic. It cannot disagree with the weakest constitution. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. IT IS WOMAN'S WAY to sacrifice herself for her family. She goes without the new dress that husband or child may have some coveted pleasure. And for economy's sake she often bears the illis which are undermining her health. It is a false economy. The health of the wife and mother is the most important factor in the home life, and every suffering woman who has been cured by "Favorite Prescription" is a witness to the real economy of this means of cure. My health is the best now that it has been for four years," writes Mrs. Phebe Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., N.Y., Box 52. "I have taken but two bottles of your medicine,' 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' Titles medicines have done me more good than all that I have ever taken before. I couldn't do my work only about half the time, and now I can work all the time for a family of four. Before I took your medicines I was sick in bed nearly half the time. My advice to all who are troubled with female weakness is to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery'—the most wonderful medicines in the world." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are held in sacred confidence and womanly confidences are guarded by strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. In a little more than thirty years Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering women. If the dealer offers you a "just as good" medicine in place of "Favorite Prescription" it is because less meritorious medicines pay him a little more profit. His profit is your loss.

We have 19 skynners, 40 barkars, 6 saddelers, 8 cordeweners, 167 souters (shoemakers) and 8 glovers. The surname feuster is a trade name denoting a maker of pack saddle. The commonest trades are taylour and smyth, since one lived in almost every village. The taylours number 407, of whom 140 are called by the Latin name of closor. In addition to 261 smyths, several are specialized. There are two arusmytha, three lokeemytha, three goldsmytha, five fierours (shoesing smiths) and six marballs (farriers). The wryght wrought both in wood and metal. The number catalogued is 186, of whom 81 are called by the Latin name faber (French favre), one of the few cases in which the Latin translation of a trade name has become a common surname. The wryghts' trade, like that of the smyth, was specialized. The arkwryght made the great arks or chests in which the clothes or meal were stored, and we find a plowwryght. A wheelwryght, two shipperwryghts, 11 cartwryghts and two glasswryghts (glaziers), who were probably concerned with the windows of churches. Glass windows in houses were rare, as is still the case in Sicily or Egypt. The bakesters are few (15), suggesting that families baked their own bread. There are 26 butchers (fleshewer, bocher or carnifex), whence Labouchere, while the surname potter shows that this trade was in existence. The fyshers (48), were opulent, being taxed 19 times as much as laborera—Notes and Queries. Villager's Idea of Hotel Business. A young lawyer in one of the leading lake cities recently passed a few days at the home of his childhood, a rural hamlet in an adjoining county. While there he ran across one of the characters of the place, a quaint old man whom he had known ever since he could remember. "How's bizness in town?" inquired the aged man. "Pretty good," replied the lawyer. "What ye doin now?" "Practicing law." "What's your brother Jim doin?" "Jim is running a hotel," and he named one of the largest public houses in the city. "Is Jim married yet?" "No." The old man raised his head with a commiserating glance. Then he dryly observed: "Has to de-pend on hired help, eh!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Bernhardt and Lott. Sarah Bernhardt recently said to a persistent newspaper correspondent: "I have told you everything. There is nothing that remains for me to say. You are as bad as Pierre Loti!" What on earth has Pierre Loti done to you?" was the answer. FIREFLY FLASHEES. The Method by Which the Insect Knots Hide Beautiful Light. "By what process do fireflies produce the beautiful flashes of light?" That is a question frequently asked, and as entomological books fail to give a satisfactory reply following explanation may be interesting: I have made a special study of the light, and carefully examined the thermism of the illuminating segments in both male and female specimens. The light emitted, when tested by the microscope, gives a brilliant spectrum, which is continuous through all the colors from the red to the violet rays. The illuminating organs consist of distinct spherical cells, each one of which is about 1.2000 of an inch in diameter, and the beetle has power to illuminate one or many of these cells at will, producing light of corresponding intensity. The cells contain a fluid saturated with phosphorus, and the covering of the cell is so thin that atmosphere coming in contact with it may affect the contents. It has been suggested that the beetle produces the flashes of light or renders the phosphorus suddenly luminous by electricity—by the injection of warm fluids—or by friction. But it is certain that the flash of light is made in another way. We may clearly trace a connection between the spiracles and trachea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle her husband enjoys. She is so robust and hearty that she can hardly find enough to do to exhaust her abundant energy. That's the way it begins. After a while she finds that it takes all her strength to care for her home. Then household cares begin to overtax her, and she drops down in a chair many a time and gives way to tears because of her weakness and misery. The sky so cloudless on the morning of marriage has soon become overcast. THE CRITICAL TIME In many a woman's life comes just at this period of discouragement and despair. She finds indications of disease of the delicate womanly organs. Her women friends perhaps tell her that the bearing down sensation, the pains in the back and loins indicate disease or displacement. She consults physicians, takes prescribed treatments, all to no avail. And yet this woman's case is curable on the evidence of women who have been cured. "Four years ago my health began to fail," writes Mrs. Nellie M. Reycraft, of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon. "I had a heavy dragging and weight in the region of the uterus, pain in back and loins, could not lift anything heavy, rest at night very poor; stomach deranged. One physician said I was overworked, another said I had congestion and falling of uterus. He treated me nine months and said I would not be well until I had passed the change of life. I was only twenty-seven岁 old then. I became discouraged, and began using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Took a teaspoonful three times a day; began feeling better right away. Am using my third bottle now, and feel I am in good health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has restored me to health. If suffering women would give it a fair trial they would give it praise." It can truthfully be said that there is hardly a form of womanly disease medically curable which will not yield to the faithful use of "Favorite Prescription." More than this, it is a matter of record that many forms of womanly disease pronounced incurable by local physicians have been perfectly and permanently THE REASON WHY. Some medical works content themselves by classifying advice under the head of "Do" or "Don't." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser gives the reason why, for all it enjoins. It is a plain guide to health written in plain English and dealing with the great problems of physiology and hygiene from the view point of common sense.

Chinese and Italians Especially Admitted to Games of Chance. Of all the nations of the earth who gamble—and they all do it more or less—the Chinese come in an easy first Superstition and the gambling mania go in double harness, and while the mandarins fly kites to decide what should be done about Wel-Hal-Wel and Talien-Wan the humber Colestials gamble for dear life to pass the time away. "The Chinese play night and day," says a traveler, "till they have lost all they are worth, and then they usually go and hang themselves," from which it would appear that the yellow danger is not so formidable after all. The Chinese laborers in the United States squander their earnings in a game called "white pigeon's ticket." White, by the way, is the unlucky color for the gamer and the lucky one for the keeper of the gaming house. These gentry keep orange peel in a box, believing that it will bring them luck. The Italians are no less superstitious, and they gamble persistently, the poor people especially, in the government lotteries. Everything has a number; a cat, a dog, a gondola, and "Libro dei Sogno"—the lotto player's oracle—will tell you what the number is and the rules for interpreting the appearances in dreams. Visitors to Venice, which has always been a stronghold of gambling, may have seen the declarations... In the city. "Is Jim married yet?" "No." The old man raised his head with a commiserating glance.

Sarah Bernhardt recently said to a persistent newspaper correspondent: "I have told you everything. There is nothing that remains for me to say. You are as bad as Pierre Loti!" "What on earth has Pierre Loti done to you?" was the answer. Oh, simply that once upon a time he made up his mind that he was going to make my acquaintance. First he wrote me a letter expressing his admiration for me, and did me the honor of dedicating a book to me. I thanked him, but I did not invite him to call on me." Didn't Worry. After three successive failures in a costly experiment one of Mr. Edison's associates, worn out with the strain, asked, "Why don't you worry a little about it, Mr. Edison?" "Why should I?" replied the inventor. "You are worrying enough for two." Nummy Dummy." In his "Highways and Byways" in Devon and Cornwall Arthur H. Norway tells of a fragment of antiquity that still "lingers in the neighborhood of Redruth, where the country people, when they see a ghost, say, 'Nummy dummy!'" and he adds, "I leave the riddle to be solved by any one who is curious enough to undertake a useful piece of practice in unravelling the corruption of language." The phrase is probably a corruption of "In nomine Domini," the Latin for "In the name of the Lord," a phrase so familiar in the devotion of the middle ages. A Night of Terror "Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of Machias, Me., when the doctors said she would die from pneumonia before morning," writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night, "but she begged for Dr. King's New Discovery, which had more than once saved her life, and cured her of consumption. After taking she slept all night. Further use entirely cured her." This marvelous medicine is guaranteed to cure all throat, chest and lung diseases. Only 50c and $1 at Hatzfeld's drugstore. It has been suggested that the beetle produces the flushes of light or renders the phosphorus suddenly luminous by electricity—by the injection of warm fluids—or by friction. But it is certain that the flash of light is made in another way. We may clearly trace a connection between the spiracles and trachea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle and each of the illuminating cells, and find that the little creature renders the phosphorus contained in the cells luminous by forcing air upon them. The cells when thus excited emit light from their surface. We may imitate the act of the beetle by dissecting one and placing the illuminating organ under a microscope, covered by a thin glass cover. When the cover is lifted so as to admit a little air, the cells become luminous. We may add that the name "firefly" is a misnomer, as the "lightning bug" is a true beetle, belonging in the natural order calcoptera, and in the family lampyridae.—D. K. Winder in Detroit Free Press The Horses of Manila. Among the first things to impress a stranger are the horses. Descended from horses brought from Mexico, they have become much smaller, while they are also much more shapey. In fact, I have never seen a better-looking breed. There is nothing of the pony in their shape, though in size they range between 48 and 52 inches. At first it looked absurd to see them ridden by big men whose stirrups hung down to the horses' knees, but I soon found out that they easily carried a rider weighing 200 pounds. The foreigners have a jockey club, which holds two meetings a year at the beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To avoid sharp practice members of the club only are eligible to ride. This necessitates a scale of weights starting at 132 pounds and rising to 154 pounds. It demonstrates the speed and strength of these miniature horses that a mile has been run in 2:10 by a pony carrying 150 pounds. Only stallions are used. Mares cannot even be brought into the city. Nobody walks; everybody rides, and on any special flesta thousands of carriages fill the streets. I doubt if there is a city in the world that can turn out half the number of private vehicles in proportion to the population.

Descended from horses brought from Mexico, they have become much smaller, while they are also much more shapey. In fact, I have never seen a better-looking breed. There is nothing of the pony in their shape, though in size they range between 48 and 52 inches. At first it looked absurd to see them ridden by big men whose stirrups hung down to the horses' knees, but I soon found out that they easily carried a rider weighing 200 pounds. The foreigners have a jockey club, which holds two meetings a year at the beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To avoid sharp practice members of the club only are eligible to ride. This necessitates a scale of weights starting at 132 pounds and rising to 154 pounds. It demonstrates the speed and strength of these miniature horses that a mile has been run in 2:10 by a pony carrying 150 pounds. Only stallions are used. Mares cannot even be brought into the city. Nobody walks; everybody rides, and on any special flesta thousands of carriages fill the streets. I doubt if there is a city in the world that can turn out half the number of private vehicles in proportion to the population. It has been suggested that the beetle produces the flushes of light or renders the phosphorus suddenly luminous by electricity—by the injection of warm fluids—or by friction. But it is certain that the flash of light is made in another way. We may clearly trace a connection between the spiracles and trachea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle and each of the illuminating cells, and find that the little creature renders the phosphorus contained in the cells luminous by forcing air upon them. The cells when thus excited emit light from their surface. We may imitate the act of the beetle by dissecting one and placing the illuminating organ under a microscope, covered by a thin glass cover. When the cover is lifted so as to admit a little air, the cells become luminous. We may add that the name "firefly" is a misnomer, as the "lightning bug" is a true beetle, belonging in the natural order calcoptera, and in the family lampyridae.—D. K. Winder in Detroit Free Press HUMOR OF THE HOUR. “You threw up a good job to go to the army?” “Yes, sir.” “You were in good circumstances perhaps?” “I had nothing whatever but my salary.” “你 were promised that you should have your job again when you returned?” “No, I couldn't ask that. I didn't know how long I might be gone.” “It would have been no more than right to give it back to you anyhow: A man who goes and risks his life for love of country!” “To tell the truth, it wasn't exactly love of country. The country had never done anything for me so far as I know, and I wasn't slopping over with love for it.” “Well, at any rate you sympathized with the sufferings of the oppressed Cubans”— “Darn the Cubans!” “Then what did you join the army for?” “Glory!" bitterly replied the returned soldier, folding his arms.“Don't you suppose I knew that all the prize money went to the navy?”—Chicago Tribune.
