who would treat ordinary pain lightly,
roll on the ground in agony for hours
after being stung, and have known a
horse SO completely mad, after getting
into thicket of these trees, that he
rushed open-mouthed at everyone that

Dogs, when stung, will rush about,

One safeguard for the experienced
hunter is the fact that they always
grow in palm thickets, and no place
else. The presence Of palm trees is,
therefore, sufficient to put an old settler
on his guard.

A POWERFUL. CURRENT.

The Greatest Voltage and the Longest
Line In the World.
Mention was made some weeks ago
Of line intended to carry electricity at
twenty-five Thousand volts from Lauffen
to Frankfort, distance of over one
hundred miles. The experiment has
been watched with interest by elec-
tricians on both sides Of the ocean, says
the Philadelphia Record, since there
are not wanting those who claim that
the thing CANNOT b done. Tho pr~-
liminary experiments made over line
of three miles in length were, Il is said,
entirely successful A current Of
thirty-three Thousand volts was devel
oped for the purpose OF seeing how
great the tendency would be for the
current to leave the wire for the
ground. To discover this the wire was
cut and the pieces then slowly brought
together, and 1t was not until ths ends
were within less than an inch Of each
other that q spark was forced across
the intervening space. An ordinary
safety cut-out, consisting of ball Of
lead, was then placed in the circuit and
a wire was dropped across the current
to initiate the falling of q tree or the
crossing Of another wire, when the
lead ball instantly melted with fash
and an explosion. cutting off the cur
rent. From the results Of the prelim-
mary experiments the projectors Of the
new line feel confident Of its success.

THANKSGIVING DAY.


 When the Puritans had the first Thanks giving Day, two hundred and sixty years ago, the fact that they had harvested good crops was one of the chief causes of their thankfulness. At the mention of Thanks giving Day this year the first thought is of the tremendous crops which have been gathered. Their quantity and value are set forth in figures whose meaning is prac- tioslly inconceivable. People cannot un- derstand 5000, ,000, 900 or 4,000, ,000, 900, but they can understand that there is enough to eat in this country and great surplus to sell. It is not often that any country stands in such 8 place as this country does this year. There has already been great rejoicing over it, and to-day it will be rejoiced over in thousands of pull pits and thousands of newspapers. Every body will be glad of it and many will be actually thankful to Him who looks after the seed-time and the harvest.
 The most conspicuous cause for general thankfulness to-day somewhat overshadows the many minor ones. There has been no decimating epidemic, no great and general calamity during the year. Business has been good, there has been work to do. and there have been peace and prosperity. This land of the free has never been better to live in and never more promising for the future. It is good thing to be an Amer ican citizen.
 Therefore give thanks to-day, either in church or out of it, to the giyer of every good and perfect gift. Let the great Home Festival have full sway. Let the tables groan with good things, and be little careful lest too violent participation in them make you groan. And add to your enjoyment of the day by giving some fel- being cause for joy.

of the cost of municipal ownership. though it can be clearly proven from practical eI- perience in hundIe eds of cities that it is to the benefit of the taxpayers, and to the prosperity of uIe city to do so; but we here simply protest against the assumptions Of the Water company and its paid attor- neys that they alone arc looking out for the peoples welfare. We insist that Mayor Sargent may be justly credited with as much irtereet in the prosperity of the city and the welfare of the people as President paWson or Attorney Hamilton. The people nave no pain lobby looking ou. for their lntsrests in council chambers and legisla- tu res, and hence they may be slow in gain 'ng their rights, but they will be heard from sooner or later, and certain ward politicians will then have time to wonder
 what it was that dropped. In the mean time we protest against being misrepresented in the public press as viciously attacking and aiming to wrong and rob innocent corpor- ations. All we ask is the simple truth on these questions without fear or favor, without fraud or bribery, and let the peo- ple's will be done. L. H. SourRKs.

"The Rights Of the PeoPle.o

s'The Rights or the PeoPle.o To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There are two sides to the water ques- ton, and it seems but common justice that both sides should have an equal chance to be heard through the public press Of course we can find no fault with you as an individual for supporting the interests of the water company. But there are many among your readers and subscribers who are deeply interested in this matter and who see things differently, and would like to make their sentiments known.
 We believe in municipal ownership of the water works, and we do not like to have honest efforts to obtain such owner ship branded as an attempt to ''unjustly treat" and ''rob the water company" No advocate of municipal ownership proposes to rob anybody of one dollar or of any right" A fair purchase of the plant of the water company is not robbery. And for the city to own its water supply is no injustice to anybody. What right has the water company to feel aggrieved at such propositioni You say they are "servants masters of the people by surrendsring to them forever our streets and valleys and streams, and giving them c perpetual mortgage on the first necessity of lifei
 No, it is they who are seeking to possess the peoples rights, else why should they make such desperate efforts to close . ten years contract and thus preclude the city from getting possession of its owni Now we do not raise here the question

SIIICIDAI NOLDIERS.

Soldiers not only kill others, but it ap pears that a good many of them kill them selves. Dr. Longer has been making a study of suicide in the armies of Europe and his discoveries are interesting and somewhat startling. His report is based upon the military statistics from 1875 to 1887.
 During this period the largest number of suicides occurred in the Austrian army, averaging every year 122 to every 10000 soldiers. This does not include 40 cases of foiled attempts at suicide, and it repre- sents 20 per cent. of the general mortality among the Austrian soldiers. Next to Austria is Germany, which from 1878 to 1888 averaged sixty three suicides to every 10000 soldiers, not counting ten cases of unsuccessful attempts at self-destruction. In the Italian army from 1874 to 1889, on the average, forty soldiers in every 10000 commit suicide every year. The French army from 1872 to 1889 lost in Europe twenty-nine soldiers to every 10000 annually, and in Algeria it lost just twice as many by suicide. In Bel gium there occurred twenty-four, in Eng land twenty-three, in Russia twenty, and in Spain fourteen soldiers to every 10000 commit suicide. In previous years in Eng Iand the greatest number of suicides oc- cured among old soldiers, but since the conditions of the service were changed the
 number of young suicides increased in the
 army. In France, Italy, Germany, and Austria most of the suicides are young
 soldiers; in Austria especially mostly re- cruits commit suicide in the first few
 months of their joining the army.
 The cause of suicide in the army is, ir most cases, fear of punishment, but in the Austrian and Russian armies aversion to the military service or rude treatment provokes many soldiers to self-destruction
