Its mighty hard work getting any
free advertising out of you newspaper
people, nowadays" sighed the adj
vance agent of a mammoth allied
circus as he passed stack Of coin
over the busincss.office counter the
other morning.
space is space" replied the affable
cashier, as he made out receipt.
Il don't know why it is" continued
the A. A, retrospectiveiy, "but some
how editors don't seem to bite as
they used to. Same on the Eastern
coast, too l noticed it particularly
on little snap I worked way down
at Galveston last fall"
"How was that?"
well, you see, l was on my way to
that city by steamer week in ad-
vance of our show, when l struck a
great scheme. l bought two dozen
pop bottles and as many steaks from
the steward. Then l got a lot Of
arsenic from the medical stores and
rubbed it into the steaks. l put
some of our bills in the bottles, tied
a steak round each and dropped 'em
overheard as we entered the harbor.
My calculation was that the sharks
would swallow the meat, be poisoned,
float ashore, would be cut open, the
bills found, and the whole thing be
written up by the reporters in great
shape"
"How did it work."
Like a charm-my part Of it, I
mean. Nine sharks altogether stood
in with the show, but every time one
came ashore / got note from every
editor in the place, proposing to
write the thing up, with snap
camera cut of the shark, at the regu-
lar rates"
''Pretty mean, that"
"Mean-those fellows could give
Shylock cards and spades. The only
paper that referred to it at all was
one we gave siXty-four free passes to.

that our show was enough to kill a

Cost of had RoA dis.

The Board of Trade in a Tennessee
town, in recent memorial to the
legislature, demonstrated, according
to the Engineering Magazine, that
bad roads were costing the people Of
that commonwealth more than ST.
900, 600 annually. Professor w. w.
Carson, of the University of Tennes-
see, after careful investigation, found
the average cost Of hauling to the
Knoxville market by wagon to be
$3.50 per ton-aggregating $780,
600 a year on the total tonnage
hauled. He maintained that this
hauling could have been done for
half the sum over good dirt roads and
for one-sixth of it over good macadam
roads, saving $1,000 900 annually.
Professor Richard II. Ely, Of the Johns
Hopkins University and Secretary Of
the American Economic Association,
affirmed that poor roads cost this
country over $40 a horse, and Prof.
jerks, of Knox College, Illinois,
thinks S15 horse a low estimate for
this loss. Mr.. Hord, a former Com
missioner of Agriculture for the
State of Tennessee, estimated the
number Of hores, mules and asses in
that State, in 1889, at 476, 900. The
number has increased since his es-
innate, but taking this number and
the lowest estimated loss per horse,
say $l5, and an aggregate loss of 81
l4O, 900 year for one State is shown.
From tables calculated by Professor
Carson, for an agricultural expert
ment station, it was shown that on
gravel u horse will draw nearly one
and-a-half times the load, and on
macadam, over three times the load
he can draw on dirt road. Or
course there is great economy Of
drawing power in the proper grading
Of roads, and disregard Of this fact
has wasted large quantities Of money
in the road building Of the past. The
greater speed attained on scientitical-
ly graded and patent race tracks
illustrates the advantages Of grade.

THE determination of the United
States authorities to prevent Euro
pcan immigration from recently in
fectcd districts during the winter is
wise and just. Thousands Of immi-
grants scattered throughout the
country during the winter would be
certain to spread the scourgc in every
quarter when the hot months are
reached. The interests of the peO-
pie at all times should be thoroughly
guarded, and next year, when we eX-
pect the whole world as our guests, it
is imperative that no plumbers should
be made. Uncle Sam can get along
without his usual million of immi-
grants the coming year

ONE not infreQuently sees a news
item to the effect that the brain of
some criminal has been turned over
to the learned anatomiStS for study
and discover wherein it differed from
the ordinary human brain, and often
with the idea Of throwing some new
light on the character Of a criminal
or the reason Of his depravity. At a
late meeting of the Neurological AS
ISOLATION this subject was up for dis
cussion, with the result that nothing
is yet ascertained that can be practic.
ally useful. 1t Is not possible to pick
out the criminals brain from dozen
others by any special marks, assures
or evidence of criminality. 1t may
be worth while handling criminal
brains over to the doctors for study,
for only by SO doing can there be any
discoveries in this line, but up to the
present time there has been very lit
tie discovered worth mentioning.

a Novel Craft.

A combined dredge and barge has
recently been completed for the Dan
ish Government which presents some
interesting features. 1t is 1875 feet
long, "a feet wide, II feet deep, and
draws but 6 feet 3 inches. The
dredging apparatus is designed to re-
move sand by suction. There are
two suction pipes leading from the
pumps which can be used separately
or together. AS soon as the vessel is
securely moored, the dredging begins.
When the mouth of the suction-pipe
touches the bed the pumps draw up
from 5 TO 10 per cent. of sand with
the water. but after working for five
minutes the amount of sand in the
discharge Is from Is to 20 per cent.
and finally rises to 30, 40, or even so
per cent That is to say, the pump
is then sucking up and discharging
into the tanks or hoppers mixture
of half sand and half water. The
hoppers hold from 500 to 100 tons of
sand, and in several trials on the
Mersey bar, at Liverpool, it required
but half an hour to remove that
amount of material from the bar and
discharge it into the hopper. This is
fitted with movable bottom, so that
the contents are easily disposed of bv
steaming out from the shore for a
proper distance and then opening the
bottom of the hopper, thus allowing
its contents to fall out into the
water

Healthfulness of Apples.

Speaking Of apples, Prof. Faraday
says: There is scarcely an article of
vegetable food more widely useful
and more universally liked than the
apple. Why every farmer has not
an apple orchard, where trees will
grow at all, is one Of the mysteries.
Let every family, in autumn, lay in
from two to ten or more barrels, and
it will be to them the most economi-
cal investment in the whole range of
culinary supplies. A raw, mellow
apple is digested in an hour and a
half, while boiled cabbage requires
five hours. The most heathful des-
sert that can be placed on the table
is baked apple. II taken freely at
breakfast, with coarse bread and
butter, without meat or flesh of any
kind, it has an admirable effect on
the general system, often removing
constipation, correcting acidities, and
cooling off febrilc conditions more
etfectually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be in
duced to substitute the apple-sound,
ripe and luscious-for the pies, cakes,
candies, and other sweetmeats, with
which children are too often stuffed,
there would be diminution of doc
tors bills, sufficient in a single year
to lay up a stock of this delicious
fruit for seasons use. Medical

The Cigarette EVIL.

Considering what very poor things
cigarettes are, 1t is surprising that
they should have got such a hold on
the community. But, bad as they
are, they are extremely fascinating.
The use Of them, when carried to eX-
cess, becomes habit that is most
difficult to break. while they are so
cheap and so convenient that 1t takes
exceptional discretion TO smoke them
at all without smoking them to a
deleteriouS extent. or course it is
primarily because they are go cheap
that they appeal SO generally to boys;
but even with boys, who ought not to
be allowed to smoke at all, it is not
so much the tobacco in the cigarette
that does the mischief as the peSti-
lent and insinuating practice Of in
haling the smoke. An ordinary boy
of wholesome appetites won't smoke
cigars or pipe tobacco enough to do
him serious damage, even if he can
get them. Nor would the cigarettes
he might smoke be so serious a men,
ace to his welfare If he would only
smoke them as he would smoke cl-
gars. The trouble is that as soon as
he gets used to Notwithstanding he
begins to inhale the smoke, and pres
emily is fixed in a habit that plays
the mischief with him.
Whether anything besides tobacco
goes into ordinary cigarettes is a
much-discussed question. The effect
they sometimes produce on the brain
is so different from that due to tobac-
co in other forms as TO favor the
theory that many OF them contain
opium or waterman; but this the man.
ufacturers deny, usually asserting
that such drugs are too expensive to
put into cheap cigarettes, even If 1t
helped their marketable qualities.
One thing besides the tobacco ohvi-
ously goes into them, and that Is the
paper. the fumes OF which are doubt
less bad for the. throat and lungs as
far as they -Harper's Weekly.

Walrus Leather.

Walrus skins are sometimes treat
ed by the San Francisco tan
ners. The hides are of immense
size, weighing MS much as 700
pounds and measuring S feet by IA.
The first experiment with these skins
was made about twelve years ago, but
at first there was no market for them
when tanned. Silversmiths, however,
found them an excellent substitute for
the old-style emery wheel, and began
to use them to polish silverware and to
surface precious stones. The price
of the skin advanced until it reached So
pound. Whalers were commissioned
to secure green hides. and with COM
petition the price fell to IS pound.
The process of tanning is the same as
that used for ordinary heather save
that the walrus hides are laid away tor

takes five years to complete the process

THE loyal people of Granada, who
had expected visit from the Queen
and were disappointed, attested their
grief by by resolving themselves into
quite successful mob. They sorrow
fully kicked the lights out of some
buildings; with aspect dolorous tore
others down and trampled sadly upon
triumphal arches. Having thus
demonstrated that their woe was
genuine, they went bowling to Jail,
a structure that in their haste they
had neglected to overturn.
