BRIEF LOCALS
Do our readers realize that in the
State of Massachusetts there are hos-
pital beds for only about half of those
simering from the dreaded disease of
tuberculosis, who should have hospi-
tal care?
According to the Tuberculosis Com-
mission, whose report to the Governoi
has just been made public, there are
approximately 35,000 cases of tuber-
culosis in the State. Since for the care
of these patients there are only 2,773
beds in hospitals and sanitariums, the
Commission recommends that the ac-
commodations should be increased tc
5,000 or 6,000 beds.
Hundreds of persons, many of them
the bread winners of families, are
sick at home and are not only receiv
ing improper care, but are.possibly in
fecting other members of the house
hold and neighborhood.
Investigation reveals family after
family dependent upon some sort of
charity because one or more of its.
members are incapacitated. In many-
cases, those left thus destitute are too
proud to ask for assistance although
without it they are perhaps insuffi-
ciently fed and clothed or are living
in dark unwholesome quarters under
conditions that make them, in turn,
easy victims of tuberculosis.
What is it that- you and everybody
can do to-day to help better these con-
ditions';
The American Red Cross has in-
augurated an immense national cam-
paign for the purpose of raising one
million dollars to be used in helping
to stamp out tuberculosis. They have
issued the Red Cross Christmas Seals
which are sold for one cent apiece and
can be stuck on the back of letters and
packages. They, will not. carry mail,
but mail will carry them. The seal is
very attractive in appearance and will
serve as a welcome decoration on any
Christmas or New Year letter or
package.
The proceeds from the sale of these
seals in Massachusetts, where it* is
hoped two million will be disposed of,
will be used entirely for local tuber-
culosis work. Business houses are
buying them in large quantities and
you can personally help this cause
by purchasing as many as you can use.

Eugene N. Foss has sent to Govern-
or Draper his resignation as Repres-
entative in Congress from the Four-
teenth Massachusetts 'district, the
same to take effect Jan. 5.
Gov.-elect Foss had a bad time with
indigestion last week, caused it is
said by eating clam-chowder. It
wasn't then, the jabs Norman White

The Boston Record says, Judge
Harris will serve on the superior
court bench up to the beginning of his
congressional term on March 4. His
resignation as judge will then create
a vacancy, which- will have to be -filled
by Gov.-elect Foss.
Postmaster Duff of New Bedford
has resigned to take effect Jan. 1st.
To succeed Mr. Duff,' Congressman
William S. Greene has recommended

The first center-board vessel ever
seen in Cape Cod waters was the sloop
Algerine; purchased by Capt. Jesse
Collins of Eastham in the year 1824.
History tells us that she "was a great
marvel to all." This seems strange
nowadays when center-boards are so
common.
Among the assets of the estate of
the late Gen. Charles Cleveland
Dodge of New *ork, is $500,000 of

the discussion before the Surrogate
counsel referred to the $500,000 worth
of stock as being a "hopeful asset, but
nothing more."

which sold for $2.30 a barrel and also
several barrels of less valuable fruit.
Another tour of the Cape has ended
It's pleasant on the Cape, summer or
winter, and the people at this season
have leisure in which to hear and di-
gest speeches. Whether the tour ac-
complished anything material in the
way of driving a Lodge to some vast
wilderness far away from Washington
remains to be seen later.—Brockton

For nearly 20 minutes, while the
snowstorm raged last. Tuesday night
the operator at the naval wireless
station at Newport talked with the
government operator at Colon, Pana-
ma, a distance of 1981 miles. Each
letter was distinctly heard at both
ends and the checking up messages
were perfect. In view of the weather
conditions existing, the work is re-
garded as remarkable.

After services attended by her fam-
ily, relatives, the members of her

There were, about 120 persons present.
In spite of Governor-elect Foss's
declaration that the legislature should
postpone the election of a United
States senator until fall, and that the
Democrats should hold no caucus, 12
of the 14 Democratic senators-elect
have voted unanimously to hold a cau-
cus for United States senator, and
there is every reason to suppose the
two absentees, Senators-elect Mack of
Berkshire and Halley of Essex, will
take the same position.
Tuesday, Dec. 13, 1910.
Our representative in Congress is
reported as saying, "I have nothing to
do in Washington." So he came home,
he did.
Now Congressman Foss is back on-
to the old job of "hitting up" Senator
Lodge, who is busy with official duties
in Congress.
If there is nothing for Mr. Foss to
do in Washington why didn't he have
his resignation take effect at once, in-
stead of naming a date in January?
Again if there is nothing for the rep-
resentative of the 14th district to do in
Washington, why is there need of a
special election to fill out Mr. Foss'
term of about two weeks' service?
Why are the cities and towns of the
14th district to be put to the expense
of another special election, if there is
nothing for our representative to do
in Washington?
Why not let the 14th's seat still be
empty the remaining weeks of this
session of the 61st congress?

Why ?
SANDWICH OPEN TO COASTWISE
TRAFFIC
Barge With 2000 Tons of Coal Enters
New Harbor Dec. 5
On Monday morning Dec. 5th the
coal barge Cassie, with 2000 tons of
coal aboard—her full capacity— was
towed into the partly completed water-
way into the new harbor at Sandwich.
Mr. Belmont and Capt. Miller,
months ago, assured the citizens and
all Cape Cod, that Sandwich would
bo an open \tx\ en Jan. 1
, 1911, and
nearly a month before that time the
barge Cassie has the distinction of be-
ing the first coastwise craft to enter
the new port.
From one of the middle Atlantic
coal ports the Cassie was towed along
the coast, arriving in Plymouth a few
days ago, where she remained at
anchor until word was sent to her
captain that the wharf where the
barge would discharge was all ready.
No time was lost and the Cassie
was towed to Sandwich and Sunday
night anchored off the great granite
sea wall waiting for daylight to enter.
As the big barge lazily swung to her
anchor the scene awakened memories
of half a hundred years ago in the
mind of the old sailorman. It took
him back to the days when schooners,
and the steamer Acorn, hailed from
Sandwich, and still further back when
vessels were built at the head waters
of the creeks that flow into Cape Cod
bay, Within a half-mile of the new
port, and were launched and sailed
out of the historic Scusset creek which
has been engulfed by the mile of com-
pleted waterway.
The schooners of those days were
small craft which could be easily car-
ried on the deck of the barge Cassie,
and the steamer Acorn was not much
larger than the fishing schooners of
to-day.
About 50 years ago, when the pro-
ject of the canal across Cape Cod was
oeing considered, it was planned to
build a canal, with locks, to allow free
passage for large steamers through
it of the size of the Metropolis, then
plying between Fall River and New
tfork. The dimensions of the steamer
were: Length over -all 342 feet,
breadth of beam 45 feet, breadth over
all 86 i-6 feet, depth of hold 16 feet,
draft of water 16 1
-2 feet. The Metro-
polis was the largest class of coasting
vessel at that time.
The new port, where the Cassie
triumphantly entered is about a mile
distant from the old harbor. A dozen
vessels carrying 25 feet could have
entered the new harbor and canal, fol-
lowing in the wake of the Cassie or on
either quarter of the deep laden craft,
as she was towed to the wharf and
made fast.
There were but a few of the resi-
dents who knew that the new port
would be informally opened. Capt. F.
H. Meader of the Mary Arnold proud-
ly steered the tug into port. Capt.
Meader had enjoyed the distinction of
towing all the Darges, lighters and
other crafts employed in the construc-
tion of the waterway, and he was par-
ticularly pleased that his tUg had been
honored by being employed to tow the
first cargo into the new port. Mr. C.
L. Crandall, superintendent of the con-
struction company, and Capt. Robert
Hullman of the dredge Gen. McKenzie
were among those present and they
were especially pleased that the or en-
ing of the new port was so many days
in advance of the prescribed time.
There was plenty of water in the
canal when the Cassie entered to ad-
mit the largest coastwise vessels, and
while the sea off in the bay was quite
high inside the breakwater, for a dis-
tance of nearly three-fifths of a mile,it
was as smooth as a millpond, show-
inj; how effectively the great seawall
holds the seas in check.
While no public observance attend-
ed the informal opening of the new
port, the formal opening, which will
take place at an early date, promises
to be a gala day for Sandwich and
all Cape Cod. The board of trade of
Sandwich is formulating plans for
the proper observance, and Mr. Bel-
mont , Capt. -Miller and other officers
of the canal company will probably be
present to join with the citizens in
celebrating the great event.
Steel Bridge Across Canal to Accom-
modate Travelers
The work of building the abutments
and piers for the big steel highway
bridge that will span the canal be-
tween Buzzards Bay and Bourne vil-
lages is completed and within a short
time the steel work will be placed in
position.
The approaches to the lofty bridge
are being built from the main high-
way oetween Buzzards Bay village
and Bourne's pond, so-called, crossing
the fields diagonally to a point just
north of the railroad, about an eighth
of a mile west of the Bourne station,
to the concrete abutment, the north-
ern end of the new bridge.
On the south side of the canal the
approach to the bridge will begin at
a point near the junction of the pres-
ent highway to Monument Beach and
the road to Gray Gables in Bourne vil-
lage.
THE CAPE COD CANAL.
The last session of the 61st Con-
gress convened on Monday of last
week.
The principal points of President
Tafts message which was read in
both branches on Tuesday were as
fouews:
Trade relations with Canada should
be further adjusted.
There is need of branches of
American banks in foreign countries,
and the development of the merchant
inarine by mails subsidy or other
subvention.
The federal courts should be given
jurisdiction in cases of the violation
of the rights of aliens, secured by
treaty.
Fraud in the issue of bills of
lading on interstate or foreign ship-
ments should be punished by both fine
and imprisonment.
A skeleton army organization, with
an excess of trained officers, is sug-
gested, and the fortification of the
Panama canal strongly recommended.
There is need of simpler judicial
procedure; judicial salaries are inade-
quate.
Extension of the classified service
and adoption of the parcels post on
rural routes is recommended.
The uselessness of certain existing
navy yards and the importance of
Guantanamo as a naval base are rec-
ognized; congress should make recog-
nition of the achievement of Com-
mander Peary.
Lands not strictly timber lands
should be subject to homestead entry;
water-1 power sites call for special
legislation; Alaska should be gov-
erned by commission.
The merit system of promotion by
the department of commerce and
labor is called to the attention of con-
gress, also the need of a more inclu-
sive eight-hour law.
The President's Message
The highest price ever paid for cod-
fish at Gloucester, constituting a
world' s record price, it is believed,
was recorded Thursday, when the
catch of the schooner Hattie A. Hack-
man was disposed of at the rate of
$5.70 a hundred pounds for large fish
and $5 a hundred for medium size fish,
and "spanners." Locally the fish
which brought this record price is
known as~ eastern deck hand-line cod.
The previous high record was made
during the Civil war.
The schooner Juno arrived Thurs-
day, with a catch of -60,000 such fish.
Another local record was noted in
the season's return to the schooner
Arethusa, Captain Clayton Morrlssey,
for salt Bank fishing. The vessel dur-
ing the year brought in $27,363 worth
of fish, or 826,327pounds. The Honey
earned is a record, while the catch is
6000 pounds below the high figures.

Highest Price Paid for Codfish in
Gloucester Since Civil War
William H. Eaton, who is to present
to the town of Sandwich a handsome
soldiers' monument to be known as
the John H. Eaton memorial monu-
ment, a lofty granite shaft surmount-
ed by a Hgure or a soldier at parade
rest, a tribute to perpetuate the
memory of the men of the town who
went to the front for their country's
Sag in the rebellion, was born in Sand-
wich, Sept. 8, 1847. His father died
when the boy was but 7 years old.
Compelled to go to work at a very
early age, Mr. Eaton pluckily kept em-
ployed at one occupation or another
around the glass works until he was
old enough to select a trade, and once
he made up his mind to follow a spe-
cial occupation he earnestly devoted
his whole time to it. When a boy he
divided his time, as was the custom at
that time, between school and at work
in the glass factory, and Ins education
was obtained at the Sand Hill school,
so-called, where numbers of former
residents, now successful business men
of this country, received their early
training.
The late John Clayton, widely
known as an engineer of unusual skill
and ability, was in charge of the big
engine room of the glass works when
Mr. Eaton went to work in that de-
partment and under his guidance he
soon became skilled in the work and
for a number of years worked with Mr.
Clayton in that department.
Later Mr. Eaton went to Boston and
Brockton, where he was engaged in
uis regular occupation as engineer, but
his love for the town of his birth in-
duced him to return and he was wel-
comed back to the glass works and
his former position restored to him.
Mr. Eaton remained in the employ of
the glass company until the plant was
permanently closed, nearly a quarter
of a century ago.
Again Mr. Eaton went to Brockton
where he has since lived and he has
since followed his occupation as en-
gineer.
Throughout the 'middle west are
numbers of former glassworkers, who
will pleasantly call to memory "Billie"
Eaton, as he was familiarly known to
the "boys" in the glass works, and
knowing of his deep love for the old
town none of them will be surprised
to learn of the beautiful gift he has
donated to the place of his birth.
Mr. Eaton was too young to go to
the front to enlist when the exciting
news reached Cape Cod that Sumter
had been fired upon, and president
Lincoln issued the proclamation call-
ing for 75,000 troops to put down the
rebellion, but every one of the men
who went from the town was known to
the young boy. Some of those who
were the first to answer the call to
arms had worked side by side with
Mr. Eaton in the old glass works;
others, although a few years older,
were Jiis boyhood chums. It was the
memory of those stirring times that
suggested the idea of a lasting monu-
ment to Mr. Eaton.
Six years ago Mr. Eaton made a will
in which he provided for a soldiers'
monument, the kind that he has just
donated to the town, but in view of
the difficulties he had often observed
in carrying out the provisions of willsj
a short time ago he decided that he
would donate the monument to the
town as quickly as it could be made
ready, and on May 1
, next year, the
monument will be set up, and on Me-
morial day it will be dedicated with
appropriate exercises.
The height of the monument, which
will be of Quincy granite, will be 32
feet, 19 inches. The shaft will rest on
three bases, the first or lower base
will be eight feet six inches square,
the others in proportion. The die will
be four feet square and five feet in
height and on the sides will be placed
the inscriptions. The die will be
capped in an artistic manner and
dental work, so-called, will also adorn
it. On the plinth, a part of the cap-
ping, will be an anchor and wreath,
cannon , crossed swords and wreath.
The shaft will be round and of dark
polished Quincy granite, and it will be
surmounted by a figure of a soldier 7
fee-: tall, at parade rest, of Westerly
srranite.
The New Soldier*' Monument at Sand-
wich
Spilling of salt is a superstition still
current among us. It Is derived from
the ancient Romans, who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded It as
sacred to Penates. To spill It careless-
ly was to incur the displeasure of
these household divinities. After ac-
cidentally spilli ng salt the ancient Ro-
man was wont to throw some over the
left shoulder—the shoulder of HI omen
—thereby hoping to call away from his
neighbor the wrath of the Deity and
turn It upon himself.
Salt and the Romans.
WILL IT BE PRODUCTIVE OF
RESULTS?
He Is Said To Have An Eye on the
Senatorship Hi mself
Hon. Eugene N. Foss, governor-
elect of Massachusetts is a real, if
not an avowed candidate for United
States senator to succeed Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge. He is not expected to
announce his candidacy, hoping that
a deadlock will result, in which case,
he will become a candidate, and he
believes he can win.
"Why did Mr. Foss go to the Cape?"
is a question that has been asked
many times, by politicians of both
parties. "To defeat Senator Lodge,"
is the answer. But the spectacle of
Mr. Foss touring the Cape towns at
great expense, with a retinue of former
Republicans who spoke against Lodge,
is not to be explained as Mr. Foss
explains it—that he is merely acting
as a private citizen, to get the people
of the Cape to write to their repres-
entatives to vote against Lodge. The
secret was in part revealed .at Hyan-
nis, where Mr. Foss described the
ideal United States senator for Massa-
chusetts as "a man who is in touch
with some great manufacturing or
commercial industry and also m close
touch with the people." At Sandwich
he met George T. McLaughlin of the
Democratic State Central Committee
who put forward the tempting sug-
gestion that in case there were two
caucuses and Mr. Lodge and Mr. Gas-
ton or Mr. Hamlin were nominated,
there would certainly be a dead-lock,
and this would forpe Mr. Foss into
the fight as a candidate. Mr. McLaugh-
lin said he had tried to get Mr. Foss
to announce his candidacy. "If there
is a deadlock," he said, "and it can be
kept up for some time, Mr. Foss, after
putting through certain measures in
which, as governor, he is interested,
should announce his candidacy, and
he would be elected. Mr. Foss would
poll a larger number of Republican
votes than any other Democrat who
hq.s been suggested." All this was put
before Mr. Foss, and he listened to it
with attention. He says, however,
that, while he is not a candidate, he
would be "forced to consider it" if the
people indicated a desire to have him
run for the United States Senate.
It is inconceivable that the Cape
tour will result in making any votes
against Mr. Lodge. Senator White's
position is known. The representa-
tive from the third Barnstable district
Alfred W. Cushman of Provincetown,
is a Republican who will vote for
Lodge. In the Second Barnstable dis-
trict the representative, Benjamin D.
Gifford, is a strong Lodge man and he
can be depended upon to hold to his
opinion, whether he is defeated next
term or not. in fact he told one of
his Chatham friends that the more
letters he got from his constituents
demanding that he vote against Lodge,
the more he would resist any attempt
at coercion or dictation, especially by
a Democratic governor. The first
Barnstable district representative Asa
L. Pattee, Republican, owes his elec-
tion to the Lodge supporters.in Fal-
moiirh.
Mr. Foss's tour of the Cape, there-
fore, cannot be expected to change a
single vote. His speeches indicated
that he was working up an anti-Lodge
sentiment for a different purpose. Mr.
Foss was generally well received. He
had a respectful hearing everywhere.
And even in Falmouth, which is a
Lodge stronghold, some fifty to seven-
ty-five people came out to hear him,
Republicans as well as Democrats, and
listened with attention.
There is no use in denying that
there is a good deal of anti-Lodge
sentiment among Republicans in the
Cape district. The question is: "Can
it be turned to account should Mr.
Foss announce his candidacy?" That
this was the object of the tour became
more apparent as it neared its end.
The Provincetown rally was a large
one, but that it was full of political
blunders even Democrats there had to
admit. The speakers were tied down
to avoid certain things and talk about
others , and as a result the speeches
were more or less perfunctory. When
they broke away, as did Mr. Solis at
Eastham and Senator Nason, who de-
clared for Butler Ames at Wellfleet,
they succeeded in arousing some sem-
blance of enthusiasm. But when cheers
were called for, they were cheers for
Mr. Foss. The spellbinding party not
only carried its own claque, but with
the newspaper men composed a large
part of some of the audiences—in
some instances fully half.
So far as the Cape tour is con-
cerned, it accomplished nothing more
than to show that there is an anti-
Lodge sentiment which may or may
not be turned to account in influenc-
ing senators or representatives in
other parts of the State. For Mr. Foss
is going to keep before the people of
Massachusetts as much as possible
before he becomes governor. His
present plans are to come back before
the Christmas recess and he will ad-
dress meetings in Fall River, New
Bedford, possibly Taunton, Worcester
and Springfield. The statement at
Sandwich that he would indulge in
log-rolling was received with enthusi-
asm by his Republican supporters,
but with the senatorial bee in his bon-
net and the opportunities which as
governor he will have for influencing
the action of legislators, he may for-
get the Sandwich speech. Fear that
he will do so was expressed by more
than one of his supporters after read-
ing the Hyannis address in which he
described a man like himself as the
ideal candidate for United States
senator.
Mr. Foss's "rallies," as he called
them, did not bring him before the
people of the Cape as a private citi-
zen. He said that he came in that
capacity, to oppose Mr. Lodge's re-
election, not on any personal grounds,
but as a matter of principle. Yet in-
the next breath he said that he wished
to get in close touch with the people,
to have them write to'him or come to
see him as governor and give him
their views. It was noticeable that he
did not once ask his constituents in
the district which he represents in
Congress to give him their views as
to how he should vote on any matters
coming before this session of Con-
gress. This may be due to his belief,
however, that he can accomplish more
for the State by stumping it in opposi-
tion to Lodge than he can by repre-
senting his district in Washington.
On the whole, the Cape tour must be
considered a failure of a unique ex-
periment. Yet it was not a total fail-
ure, because Mr. Foss brought him-
self before the people as a candidate
to be considered. It will be interest-
ing to know how many of those ad-
dressed by Mr. Foss take the trouble
to write to their representatives urg-
ing them to defeat Lodge. That -will
be the real test, so far as effectiveness
of the speakers can be shown. Un-
doubtedly the Cape representatives
will receive letters of this -character
from those who are candidates for
office under Governor Foss. This nat-
urally, will not injure their chances of
appointment, and the Cape, from Prov-
incetown to Buzzards Bay, is full of re-
ceptive and avowed candidates. There
are three principal seekers for Harbor
and Land Commissioner Harding's
place. A gum-shoe campaign is being
conducted by Judge Paine, the defeat-
ed Democratic candidate for state
auditor, and for some reasons he is
looked upon as likely to win. Mr.
Foss has not promised the place, and
this keeps all the candidates working
in his interest.—Boston Transcript.

GOV-ELECT FOSS'CAPE TOUR
He Claims Violations of Law—Will
Carry Fight to Washing ton for
Final" Settlement
Notice has been served on city and
town clerks throughout the 14th Con-
gressional district by Thomas C.
Thacher of Yarmouth, that he intends
to contest the election of Robert O.
Harris, declared elected congressman
from this district.
This notice contains the following:
"I claim to have been elected
to the House of Representatives
in Congress from the 14th Mas-
sachusetts district in the elec-
tion which was held on Nov. 8,
1910, and I intend to contest the
election of Robert O. Harris to
said office on saiu date.
"I demand that you retain the
envelopes containing the ballots
for said office until my claim and
contest are determined. This de-
mand is made in accordance with
Section 299 of Chapter 560 of the
Acts of 1907, and any other acts
amendatory thereof or supple-
mentary thereto."
Mr. Thacher's intentions have also
been made known to Judge Harris.
The paper served upon Judge Harris
was a notice from Mr. Thacher that
he was to contest the election and
contained a list of 177 protests made
by representatives of Mr. Thacher at
the recounts. The number of protests,
177, covers the highest announced
plurality given to Judge Harris follow-
ing the election and is in support of
Mr. Thacher's allegation that he and
not Judge Harris was elected.
Mr., Thacher is said to have given
out a public statement in which he
states:
"The situation is this: Many seri-
ous violations of the election laws
have taken place, of such a nature
that it would seem incredible that
they could have occurred in the 14th
Massachusetts vongressional district,
in addition a large number of bal-
lots cast in my favor were , not so
counted, and on the other hand, a
large number of ballots were im-
properly counted /or my opponent.
"Whatever may be my personal
feeling m the matter, I should, in jus-
tice to my friends and the 15,000
voters who supported me, carry this
case to a higher tribunal. If this
higher tribunal finds in view of the
facts that I am elected, well and good;
if not, 1 shall be the first to congratu-
late my opponent."

"The sloth bear appears to be the
most active of all the bears in the zoo.
Whoever misnamed the animal ought
to bestow a more appropriate title,"
said a woman visitor who sat on a
bench In front of the bear dens.
"A more befitting designation would
be 'Ursus pugilisticus' or something
like that, for he is certainly the most
pugnacious of all the bruin specimens
here. And he gets away with It , too.
although bo- weighs only 250 pounds.
I saw him knock out the hairy eared
bear In a fierce fight over a piece of
meat, and he gets the better of the
great Yezo bear of about 1
.000 pounds
in the adjoining iuclosure. They fight
through the bars. You can hear the
snapping of the big dear's jaws as he
fails to catch his opponent. But the
nervous sloth bear Is as quick as a
cat with his long claws and gets in a
dig on the other one's muzzle thai
makes him snort with pain."—New

Each vocation makes a different call
upon the brain and develops faculties
and qualities peculiar to itself, so that
as the various professions, trades and
specialties multiply the brain takes on
new adaptive qualities, thus giving
greater variety and strength to civ-
ilization as a mass, says Orison Swett
Marden In Success Magazine.
When the world was young the
brain of man was very primitive, be-
cause the demand upon it was largely
for self protection and the acquisition
of food, which called only for the de-
velopment of its lower, its animal
part. As civilization advanced, how-
ever, there was a higher call upon the
brain and a more varied develop-
ment until today, in the highest civ-
ilization, it has become exceedingly
complex.
The Brain Is Very Adaptable.
Little Lawrence's grandfather was
Tery ill, and a trained nurse had been
employed to care for him. When he
became convalescent a young woman
who had studied in a hospital for a
short time was secured in her place.
A sympathetic neighbor meeting Law-
rence, the following conversation took
place:
"How is your dear grandpa this
morning, Lawrence?"
"He is better."
"Have you the trained nurse still?"
"No; the trained nurse has gone
away, and the one we have now is
half trained and half wild."—Woman's

According to the report of Professor
Milne to the British association, land
adj oining the shore falls as the tide
rises. By means of a seismograph
placed one and a half miles from the
shore at Bidston. Cheshire, it was
found that the average deflection due
to tidal effects represented a change in
6lope of about one inch in sixteen
miles. The violence of the change ap-
pears to depend upou whether the tide
rises slowly or whether it rises rapid-
ly and to an unusual height.—London
Chronicle.

HIRED APPLAUSE

Speaking of applause in theaters, a

concerning the great ac-tress Kacliel:
"It .seems that upou a certain open
Ing night Rachel received eutbusiastie
applause, but on the second nifdu it
was so noticeably slim that the a. tress
felt deeply grieved and bitt erly com
plained that the claque was not doin;:
Its duty. The leader of the hired -ap-
plause makers' on hearing of her dis-
pleasure wrote her a letter in whic h tif
endeavored to excuse himself from any
blame.
"'Mademoiselle—1 cannot remain uu
der the obloquy of a reproach from
such lips as yours,' he began. "The
following is an authentic statement of
what really took place: Ai tin - nrsi

extent did we carry our applause that
the occupants of the stalls were scan

"'My men were positively exhausted

that they could not again go through

the case. I applied for the manuscript .
and after having profoundly studied

"The writer thus goes on at some
length to assure the actress he will
try to make future amends and re-
quests her to believe In his profound
admiration."—E xchange.
TALKING IN FIGURES
Significance of Certain Numbers In the
Telegraphers' Code.
"In the telegraphers' code numbers
have special significance of which the
general public is not aware." remarked
a veteran key night the other day
"Most everybody knows that 30
means 'good night,' or the end of a
story, but few outside the profession
know that 81 is also a code sign. Rail -
road operators, however, know that
this call Is a signal to the operator at
the other end to come back and repeat
train signals to the sending operator.
It also has another meaning. 'Train
order to be signed by conductor and
engine driver.' Nineteen, on the other
hand, means that the train order Is not
to be signed by conductor or engine
driver. Twenty-four has also the lat-
ter significance on some roads.
"Five is simply an interrogation
point and In the vernacular could be
translated 'Anything doing?' Thirteen
signifies 'Do you understand?" Twen-
ty-five means 'busy,' but nobody seems
to know how It came to have that sig-
nificance unless perhaps it means that
the operator is still in the midst of his
work, being some distance away from
30.
"Seventy-three means 'best regards,'
and newspaper men and operators em-
ploy this expression constantly. Of
course 23 has come to mean in t.hla
numerical language just what It does
in ordinary parlance, 'skiddoo.' "va-
moose' or 'butt out' or any of the thou-
sand and one other equivalents."—New
York Herald.
While talking to a former governor
of Illinois, who was noted for the
quickness of his wit, an English tour-
ist spoke with special fervor of a sight
he had seen In another state.
"I attended a Sunday service for
the inmates of the state prison." he
said, "and I learned that of the 208
persons now confined there all but
twelve voluntarily attend religious
services held in the prison chapel twice
each Sunday."
"Most extraordinary,'" said the gov-
ernor musingly. "I am sorry to say It
is not so with us. But then." he add-
ed soberly, "in Illinois, you see. most
of the respectable people do not come
to prison."—Lipplncott's.

The Investigations of a French
chemist show that gold in the electric
furnace boils freely at a temperature
of 2,400 degrees C. In two or three
minutes, It is said, from 100 to 150
grams of gold pass into the state of
vapor. In condensing upon a cold
body this golden vapor forms filiform
masses and cubic crystals. At its
temperature of ebullition gold dis-
solves a little carbon, which .at the
time of resolldlfication is deposited In
the form of graphite. In an alloy ol
gold and copper, copper distills first.
In an alloy of gold and tin, the tin dis-
tills more abundantly than the gold,
and when a large quantity of these
mixed vapors Is taken the tin burns
on contact with the oxygen of the air,
forming oxide of tin, colored purple
by a fine dust of condensed gold. This
Is one method of preparing the color
known as "purple of Cassius."—Har-

There were some interesting episodes
in the life of Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place of an Af-
ghanistan town he was fired at by a
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice of the incident , merely remark-
ing, "That's all right." Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply! He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than It dfr-
served, but thought it advisable to say
no more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by^he ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length
Sir Charles said, "Your highness has
teen busy of late." "Oh. no," replied
;he ameer; "they are your little lot."
He had seized all the members of the
would be assassin's family and hanged
every one of them.
The Ameer Was Thorough.
Preserve sacredly tne privacies ol
your own bouse, your married state
and your heart. Let no father or
mother or sister or brother ever pre-
sume to come between you or share
the joys or sorrows that belong to you
two alone.
With mutual help build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friends to be the confidant of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments of alienation, if
they occur, be healed at once. Never,
no, never, speak of it outside, but to
each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow's
sun still find you at variance. Renew
and renew your vow. It will do you
good, and thereby your minds will
grow together contented In that love
which is stronger thau death, and you
will be truly one.—National" Magazine.

If your dogs are troubled with fleas
a very simple way to get rid of the

A REAL POISON PERIL
Venom of the Most Deadly Creature In
This Country.
One venomous creature there is in
this country which may justly, be
termed a public .peril in the wildest
sense. Proportionately to population
more victims fall to it yearly in the
United States than to the dreaded
cobra in India. Some 1
2,000 Ameri-
cans are killed every year by its bite.
Three hundred thousand more are
made seriously ill from the after ef-
fects. Unfortunately the virus works
so slowly that alarm is stilled. The
victims do not sicken at once. The
bite is forgotten, but ten days or two
weeks after the subject falls into a
fever. His blood is poisoned within
him. Eventually in extreme cases he
becomes delirious, succumbs to a stu-
por and dies.
Yet because there Is nothing horrific
to the sensation loving imagination in
the malaria bearing mosquito public
inertia or Ignorance tolerates it with a
grin and permits it to breed in city
and country alike throughout the
length and breadth of the nation.
Compared with it as a real menace all
the combined brood of snakes, scor-
pions, centipedes, tarantulas and other
pet bugaboos of our childish romanti-
cism are utterly negligible, are as fig-
ment to reality, as shadow to sub-
stance. It Is perhaps characteristic of
our wryly humorous American tem-
perament that we should have invest-
ed the unimportant danger with all
the shuddering attributes of horror
and have made of the real peril a joke
to be perennially bailed witb laughter
hi a thousand thoughtless prints.—Bv

FIRST POST HOUSES
Established by Cyrus, the Founder of
the Persian Empire.
The first posts are said to have orig-
inated In the regular couriers estab-
lished by Cyrus the Great about 550
B. C., who erected post bouses through-
out the kingdom of Persia. Augustus
was the first to introduce this institu-
tion among the Romans. 31 B. C, and
he was imitated by Charlemagne about
800 A. D. Louis XI. was the first
sovereign to establish post houses In
France, owing to his eagerness for
news, and they were also the first In-
stitution of this nature In Europe.
This was In 1470. or about 2,000 years
after they were started in Persia.
In England In the reign of Edward
IV. (1481) riders on post horses went
stages of the distance of twenty miles
from each other In order to procure
the king the earliest Intelligence of the
events that passed In the course of the
war that had arisen witb the Scots. A
proclamation was issued by Charles I.
in 1631 that, "whereas to this time
there hath been no certain Intercourse
between the kingdoms of England and
Scotland, the king now commands his
postmaster of England for foreign
parts to settle a running post or two
between Edinburgh and London to go
thither and come back again In six
days."
If young Mrs. Miller had not Inad-
vertently used a certain bit of slang

attempts at cooking desserts.
Noticing when dinner was half over
that Mr. Miller appeared downcast,
the bride exclaimed suddenly:
"Cheer up. Frank; the worst is yet to

"What? " gasped the husband, taken
