Ninmo Is Right.

Washington, 1S.-Nimma, chief
of the bureau OF STATISTICS, at the re-
quest Of Secretary Folger has pre-
pared and transmitted an elaborate
report on the proposed improve
ment on the harbor of Galveston,
Tex. Nimmo thinks the proposed
work one of great national
Importance, and submits the fol-
owing reasons why it should
be undertaken. There is great
lack OF harbor facilities on the Gulf
of Mexico, especially west OF the
Mississippi River; second, the har-
Dor of Galveston is the one
most susceptible OF improvement;
third, the vast resources OF Texas
and their development, and the
agricultural and commercial inter>
ests of all area as large as Great
Britain ard Ireland, France. Spain,
Italy and the German Empire,
appear to warrant the pro
posed expenditure; fourth, the
work would greatly advance
the traffic interests OF more than
$3.50 miles OF railroad in Texas, and
indirectly those Of 5000 miles cut
side; and fifth. 1t would give a
thorough stimulation to competi-
ton, exert an important reg ulatine
influence on the rates OF tTsnspOrta-
tion by rail across the continent,
and by sea via, Panama and Cape
Horn. The Importance Of the i'm
provement from a military point Of
view is aleO considerable.

The chronic croaker, what ever his

account of the failure of 4 e - or loss of

go about their work nost lugubriously,
as though attending family funeral was
the painful duty of the day-whereas
they should go forth cheerfully to pillow,
plant and cultivate, with full faith in
the promised seed time and harvest.

An Aunt's Remorse.
New York journal.


A lady in most comfortable .circum-
stances, financially, residing on the West
Side of the city, had acquired an unusu-
al appetite for the German iavorite bey-
erage, lager beer. Having no children
OF her own she had adopted the daugh-
ter of dead sister, a beautiful, blonde
haired child, of whom she was devoted
ly fond. In the absence of the servants
the lady sent the little girl with a glass
pitcher to a saloon near by for beer On
returning with the Leverage the child
fell, breaking the pitcher, and the bro
ken pieces came in contact with her
face, cutting it badly, and sad to relate,
entirely destroying the left eye.
The child's beauty Was married forev-
er. Her aunt was almost frantic with
grief. She says that she can never look
upon her niece's disfgured face without
shedding tears, and that from the mo-
ment of the sad occurrence she resolved
to let beer severely alone. And she has
kept her promise.

A Point In Churning.

1t may have been a strong sense of per-
sonal interest that prompted churn
manufacturer to give the following adj
vice, but is valuable none the less: "Ma-
ny fill the churn half full, but the time it
takes to churn is lessened nearly one halt
when the churn is filled only one third
full. Many dairymen make mistake
by buying too small churn." What is
saved in the extra cost of larger churn
is lost in extra time in churning often
in single week, always in month.
Hence the folly of this expensive kind
of economy. But it is like a great many
traditional economies quite too general
ly practiced.

A SHOWER OF BLOOD
Red Rain that Pro led upon Analysis to be
Some Sort of Animal Liquid.
Raleigh News and Obsery

Raleigh News and Observer.
A few weeks ago there was shower
of some red liquid in Chatham. The
p4ace where the phenomenon was seen
is in New Hope township. The fall
came from a cloudless sky, when the
wind was so slight as to be almost i'm
perceptible. The position of the drops
seen on the fence indicated very slight
wind from the south or southwest, across
some Plowed land. Awoman was stand
ing on this plowed land near fence;
along which small pine bushes were
growing. She noticed something falling
between her and the ground, saw it
leave red splash on the sand, heard
pattering like rain around her, looked
up. but it was all over and she could see
nothing. She was good deal fright
ened and affected, taking it as a portent
of death or evil of some kind. s. A.
Holleman visited the spot the next
morning (the fall took place about mid
day., and has kindly given the follow
ing facts observed: The space covered
was about fifty by seventy feet and near
ly In a rectangular form. The drops
were of sizes varying from that of a
small pea to that of mans finger and
averaged about one TO the square foot.
Smaller drops were instontly absorbed
larger ones, with those on the wood,
coagulateJ. Some fell in the bushes and
coagulated upon the limbs. Dr. Robin
son, living near, collected some of the
freshly-fallen material and made certain
simple tests, which satisfied him that it
was blood. 1t even had the smell, he
says, of fresh blood.
Tests were also made by Professor
Venables at the University of North
Carolina. The sand placed in cold wa
ter gave brown red solution, which
coagulated on heating. The coagulum,
a dirty brown, was soluble in caustic al
kalis, giving an indistinct green solution
treated 6ith an acid solution of mer-
curry nitrate, it gave brickred color
Nitric acid also caused the formation OF
this coagulum and gave the character
stic yellow tint on heating. The orig
inal solution in water was frightened in
color, not turning green or crimson on
adding ammonia. On leaving the solu-
ton two or three days it readily putri-
fed, showing under the microscope
great swarm of bacteria. Examined by
the microscope the appearance of small
slightly altered coIpusc!es was seen. cor
responding well with those gotten from
straightforward soil.
