The Destruction of the hemlock.

The last merchantable tree in the vast
hemlock forests that have supplied the
mills on the Dyberry creek, one of the
tributaries of the LackawaXen river, for
more than a quarter of century was
cut last week by Bill Kimble, who
drove the first log down the stream that
was cut in that great forest in 1860. This
tract of hemlOck was nearly the last OF
any extent in Wayne county, whose
forests ten years ago were yielding 10O,-
900, 600 feet of that lumber year. Fiji
teen years ago more leather was tanned
in Wayne county than in any other
county in the union. The disappear
ance of the hemlock has caused all but
two or three of the tanneries to be
abandoned. All who were engaged in
the business made large fortunes, and
nearly all of them are now engaged in
the same business in Elk, Forest, War
ren, and other western counties, where
the greatest hemlock forest in the world
still densely covers the hills. The tan
ming industry of those counties now sup
plies the entire sole-leather product of
the world. The cutting away of the
hemlock woods in Wayne county has
had disastrous effect on the water
courses, many large streams having be-
come almost entirely dry within the
past decade e-Aiddlet0lCn Press.

a Wise Reforna.

The habit OF administering quinine i'll powe
tui doses, as an antidote to malarial maladie
was once dangerously common. Happily this
practice has undergone wide reform. Not
only the public, but professional men have
adopted, not wholly, of course but largely
Hostetter's Stomach Btters as a safe botanic
substitute for the pernicious alkaloid. The
consequences of this change are most import
ant. Now fever and ague sufferers are cnred-
formerly their complaints were only for the
time relieved, or half cured-the remedy event.
ually failing to produce any appreciable effect,
the Bttors, persistently followed, breaks up
the worst attacks and prevents their return.
The evidence in favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfactory, and
the sources whence it proceeds are very
numerous.

pertinaCious Hackmen,

But modern chlmneys are not the on
~ sign OF progress in Naples. Coming
out into the street, hack dashes up,
and, m spite OF protests, follows along
che enrbstone, and if you attempt to
cross the street the driver cracks his
whip and hasten to cut you off, so that
the only chance of escape is to dodge
up side street where he can't follow.
The reason of this provoking persist
ence is very simple. The driver knows
by your manner and the way you meet
his advance that you are a stranger,
and he bulldozes accordingly. A native
in such case would simply raise his
chin in a sneering manner and the
hackman would stop short and 90 off.
This gesture is one of the many in the
alphabet of the sign language used here,
and he would understand it more readi-
ly than dozen words of the purest
Italian. The Neapolitans speak a dia-
lect quite different from the general
tongue and unintelligibIe to a majority
of the better class, but equipped with
knowledge of few of those signs
anyone can 90 forth undismayed at the
sight of peddlers or beggars. If you
raise the fore and little finger from the
closed right hand they see in the sign
the horn of the devil and beat hasty
retreat, probably motioning over the
shoulder to insinuate that you have no
money. 1t is said that the natives can
carry on conversation by gestures
without the aid OF the tongue, but in
reality they use them to exc out their
scanty language.-COr n. Y World.

TEA DRINKING IN AUSTRALIA AND New
IEALAND.-The popular belief that Rus
sia and Great Britain are the greatest tea
drinking nations is declared an erroneous
one in one of the East Indian journals,
which states that the Australian colonies
and New Zealand drink far more tea per
head OF population than the British
island. The Australians come first, with
7.66 pounds per head, New Zealanders
next, with 7.23 pounds per head, while
the population of Great Britain, though
appearing third in the list, consumes
only 4. 80 ponds each. Newfoundland
and Canada comes next, while III the
United States the consumption is only
1.30 pounds per head, and in Russia.
which is always regarded as a great tea
drinking country, the consumption is
only 0.61 pounds per head.

The spinet, of rectangular shape, which

was done to compliment Queen Eliza

found mentioned among the musical
instruments of King Henry VIII 1t is
more likely that it was so named be-
cause it was intended to be played by
young ladies. It was essentially a
lady's instrument, for it is said that at
a concert in Oxford, England, the public
performance of the first male pianist
was rewarded by a storm of Kisses.

The London Times, referring to the
deep shaft being sunk near SchIadebach
by the German government, with the
special object of obtaining reliable data
concerning the rate of the earth's in.
creased temperature toward the interior
OF the earth, concludes from all that the
earth's crust can not be mere than about
one niuetieth of its radius. 1t seems
that the plan pursued has been to ascer-
tain the temperature at successive stages
by means of a special thermometer,
the principle Of construction being that,
as the heat increases, the mercury will
expand so as to flow over the lip of an
open tube, the difference of the overflow
ing giving the rate of increase Of the
temperature. At the depth of 1892
meters, the temperature indicated 40
dsgrees Centigrade or 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1.-THE temperature increaes-
regularly at this rate, the boiling point
OF water ought to be reached at a depth
of 5000 meters, or at nearly two miles,
and at forty five miles the heat would be
that at which platinum melts.

count of q rather singular procession he
saw in Umatilla County. 1t was an In
dian funeral procession. The defunct
had been set upon horse, and stick
had been lashed along each side of his
body, TO keep it in an upright position.
The head was not supported in any
way. and rs the horse trotted along the
body seemed bowling in every direction,
and the head shaking in a horribly
grotesque manner. The widow, dress
ed in her mourning paint, trotted along
behind on a lazy mule, to which she
kept vigorously applying the whip.

Missouri Pacific system. y. 4. Talmage,
now Of the Wabash, George Noble, form
crly Of the Kansas Pacific in this state, and
others are talked Of The EAGLE thinks
that the man who got away with the arbi-
tratio1 committee at Chicago on the south

Mr.. Newman as general traffic manager Of
Missouri Pacific stood very close to Mr..
Ho1ie and the respect for each others judg-

of the matter no man would suit southwest
Kansas so well and probably no man could
more completely ill the place of Mr. Hoxie
than Mr.. Newman.

THE SOUTHWESTERN TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.

The following is Superintendent Frank
| Robinson's response to the welcoming ad
dress of Prof Childester Mr. Robinson
missed the train but the address shall not
| therefore miss the teachers and their
| friends:
We thank the superintendent of the
Wichita schools for his cordial address of
| welcome We are glad to meet in this
beautiful and enterprising city of Wichita
and be SO kindly greeted by its worthy
citizens. We are here not only to com
pare notes with our cllow-teachers; but to
trade some of our old fossilized ideas to
| some of you wide-awake business people
for practical business ones. We realize
the fact that this coming together of PEG
pie, and commingling ideas is what has
made nature grow and become famous
upon the earth. On the east side of the
the shore, history tells us, was the birth
place of all nations. From this place some
went northeast into China and
formed the great Chinese Empire.
Some others went to the south
west into Africa, others northwest into
northern Europe, branch of which went
south into Greece, Italy and the islands Of
the Mediterranean sea. Those who went
into Egypt, China. Arabia and northern
Europe, had no means of travelling from
all parts Of the country TO common cen
ter, hence it was impossible for any Of
those nations to come together at a COM
mon center as we are this evening. They
could not meet every quarter and exchange
ideas among the representatives Of the
nation. But those who settled on the
islands Of the Mediterrean sea, AID the
narrow peninsula Of Italy and Greece,
could construct vessels that required but
little skill, and travel from place to |
place without much eXertion. Hence it |
will be seen these people were especially |
favored for coming often together. And, |
as result Of these frequent meetings and |
exchange of ideas, there was developed the |
most gifted and intellectual people of an
Gent times. We realize that Kansas is
largely composed of people from all parts
IF the world, and that Kansas teachers are
to teach them. And also, Kansas teachers
and schools, all things considered, stand
far in advance of any in the nation. But
while these things are Sc, we
iced help to keep in the yam
If the onward march of popu-
ar education. We need the aid of
very father and mother in the land. We
iced the experience of every successful,
PRACTICAL teacher. We want the advice Of
hose who are a success now, notthose who
lourished in times gone by and today are
landing monuments Of failure in every
modern undertaking. We feel proud that
Fichita's citizens take such a deep interest
n our calling. We know this city is a
present success, and our mingling with its
itizens will be productive of much practi
al good in our school work. On behalf
f the teachers we kindly greet you this
vening and we know your many exertions
n our behalf in arranging this place Of
, Getting will cause us to go forth next

randest and noblest of works given to ,
