has been engaged for several nights
past planting trees sin the moonlight :"
He says they are ''sure to grow if
planted in the moonlight" That may
be good place to plant trees, but if
a bed of "hard pan" intervenes between
the trees and the water line we doubt
the efficacy of moonlight to bring them

TIE general desire OF those who
have interested themselves in the
problems afforded by study OF this
legislation has been that u nearer ap-
proach to uniformity should DO made.
that the legislatures OF the several
states should frame laws OF essentially
the same character and that thus the
homogeneous and harmful complica-
tions OF the marriage relation which
are now possible should be prevented
in the future. The public is sufficient
ly familiar with the nature OF these
complications and does not need to
be told how very much married man
in one state may not be married at all
within the limits OF another and what
interesting but vexatious and serious
trouble is liable at any time to rise,
whether owing to ignorance OF the
completely OF these various statutes
or to deliberate design on the part Of
one OF the parties to tho marriage
contract.

EXPENSIVE OATMEAL.

Thirty Dollars for Oatmeal Cruel
Was Too Much for the Old Man.
An elderly gentleman whose habit of
over-eating at unreasonable hours in
duced frequent attacks OF dyspepsia,
went tc q large and fashionable hotel
to spend the month OF March, by the
advice OF the popular physician who
administered to his ailments.
The gentleman was not fond OF
spending money lavishly under any
circumstances, and the expense OF the
trip weighed upon his mind to such an
extent before his departure from
home, that his friends were by no
means surprised to see him back again
ut the end of ten days.
did you have good time down
there?" asked an acquaintance who
met him on the street a day or two
after his return. "Seems to me you're
looking rather poorly"
POORLY" groaned the dyspeptic.
you'd better say poor! Thirty dol
dollars for oatmeal Cruel; that is what
I've had to pay, sir, where I've bcenl"
"What in the world do you mean?"
asked the other, much mystified."
"Why, mean just this" grumbled
the sufferer. 1.-THE night got there /
ate fairly good supper, and the next
morning came down with one OF my
dyspepsia attacks, and l never ate
another thing but oatmeal Cruel for
the six days was in that place. And
they wouldn't take cent off the bill,
not a cent, sir! So packed my things
and started for home. 1t was the
most outrageous experience OF my
life" he concluded, turning pale at the
very recollection of his wrongs.

oatmeal at that price, said the friend,
telling the story afterward to his wife,
"but didn't dare"

Novel Remedy For Memoranous
Croup Recently Employed.

Novel Remedy For Memoranous
Group Recently Employed.
Within the past few months mem
branous Group has been unusually
prevalent among small children
throughout the city, and the children's
wards in the numerous hospitals have
been crowded with the little sufferers
from this scourge. At the children's
hospital, where they have q large
number OF cases, new form OF treat
ment is used which has proved success
full in AZ per cent. OF the cases, an ex'
tremely large proportion.
At this institution, as soon as the
children are found to be suffering from
the complaint, they are placed on a
cot, from the four corners OF which
poles extend upward several feet.
They are joined at the top by strips,
and blankets are then thrown over
the whole, completely inclosing the
patient.
A small kerosene stove, on which is
a large kettle, stands on the floor at
the foot OF the bed. The kettle is
filed with q mixture OF gum camphor,
oil OF turpentine and water.
This is broughtto boil, and tube
leading from the kettle goes under the
blankets and carries the steam inside,
where it condenses on the blankets in
great drops, the moisture and the
fumes of the drug enabling the patient
to breathe.
When the case is extremely bad an
other instrument is used consisting OF
small spirit lamp over which is a
small vessel that acts as boiler. On
the side is glass bulb filed with BIZ
carbonate of soda, glycerine and wa
ter.
A glass tube extends into the bed
and is placed at the patients mouth.
The heat from the lamp causes the
steam from the liquid in the tube to
pass into the boiler, and then through
the second tube to the patients

The True Secret of Memory.

W. Fl. Burnham, in discussing the
question of memory, says that if a
trustworthy memory is desired, the
prime condition is health. Not only
are the more serious forms oil para
muesia pathological; but even forget
Iulness when unusual, indicates dis
ease. In points of fact, memory forms
most delicate gauge on ones physi-
cal well-being. The power OF commit
ting to memory varies notably with
fluctuations OF ones physical condi-
tion, and, as everybody knows, recol-
lection is rendered difficult by fatigue,
and is usually easier in the morning
than at night. The physiological
cause seems to be that retention is
conditioned by processes OF nutrition,
while recollection depends largely up
on the circulation, as is shown not
only by many cases of amnesia, or
iorgetfulness due to detective circula-
tion, but also by the hypeamnosias of
lever and other diseases, where there
IS an increased rapidity of the cere.
bral circulation.-Phi Press.

BELLAMIsTIc IDEA IN RUSSIA
A Queer and Popular Communicate In
stitution Among Peasants.

The very peculiar associations of
Russian worllmen known as artels are
described in recent report from the
British Embassy at st. Petersburg.
The artel is to be found in every in
dustry, and is based rather on local
customs than special regulations. The
primitive form of the institution is an
association of workmen who live to-
gether, eat together, and work to-
gether, and on the termination of each
piece of work divide among themselves
the profits. Like the mir, or commune,
the members of the artels have an
equal share in the profits and stand
under the direction and authority of q
foreman or elder. In larger towns the
artels are of a more complex kind, poss-
essing large capital and 0pecuniarily
ual members. Such. for Instance, are
those of the bank porters, who have
unlimited opportunities of stealing, and
are often intrustcd with the guarding
and transporting of enormous sums; but
the banker has no cause for anxiety,
because he knows that if any defalca-
ton occurs it will be made good to him
by the artel.
The artel, being responsible for the
individuals of which it is composed, is
very careful in admitting new mem
bers, and man, when admitted, is
closely watched, not only by the regu-
larly constituted Office bearers, but
also by all his fellow members who
have an opportunity of observing him.
There are various sorts of artels. They
are to be found in the country, where
the peasant, who is too poor to cult
vate purchased or leased lands, forms
with other peasantry in the same con-
dition as himself an artel, and they
cultivate it in common, dividing among
themselves the profits of their labor.

How q Newspaper Man Made Col. Tom
Ochiltree Famous.

Ochiltree Famous.
Tom Ochiltree is famous all the world
over as a raconteur, but his fame is but
slightly due to his own efforts. Hero
is how Ochiltrec gained his fame. A
Washington correspondent of news
paper made bet with another man
that he could take eny member of Con-
gress and within year make him
known all over the country. They
looked over the House of Represents -
tives together and finally picked
out a new member from
Texas, who had red head.
Then the correspondent went to work
to make his redheaded protege famous.
How well he succeeded is shown by the
fame which Ochiltree now enjoys. The
correspondent wrote numerous good
stories and sent them to his papers
credited to Ochiltree. lie told these
stories to other newspaper men who
also used them. The stories were
bright and, therefore, were copied all
over the country. Soon verybody had
heard of Ochiltrce's stories. and it be-
gan to be the fashion of Washington
correspondents to credit anonymous
stories to him.
Ochiltree read the stories and told
them again. lie was naturally rather
clever man and knew how to take nd
vantage of the opportunity offered
The result is that he is now one of tho
best known men in the United States,
although ne is nota rs well known now
as he used to be, as not as much is
printed about him.
