Among the bills passed by the Legisia-
tire of Ncw York was one To suppress
Tuberculosis which was largely based upon a
three years study and investigation Of the
disease made by Prof. Thomas Nrwboll,
president of the State Board Of Health.
The fact clearly established by his inycsti-
cations vas thar the channel through which
the disease was transmitted was miik--prc-
valence of the disease among children being
the fact which added strength to this theory
The law authorizes the health inspectors TO
examine all the cattle in the state.
and when the disease is found. TO
canse the animal To be killed.
The state of New York has eleven million
six hundred thousand milcb cows. and farm
ers sell 10 the people of the state $40 600
600 of milk annually. Veterinary surgeons
estimate that from . to 10 per cent of the
cows have tuberculosis and some experts
put the ratio as high as Is per cent. 1t is
estimated that 5000 human beings die of
tuberculosis every year in the city of New
York. and that indirectly the disease is
accountable for 90 900 deaths year. II is
believed that by stamping out the disease
among cattle, the human death rate will be
greatly lowcred-one of the most noble
achievements of modern science on record.

Mrs. w. II. Humphrey, lady who lives

credit for the piucky manner in which she
conducted herself under the most trying
circumstances yesterday. She started
from her home to drive into town and had
not gone far before the wagon hit the
horses heels frightening him and he started
to run. She could no more hold him than
bit of Irvine c0nld n cyclone and down the
road they came. Luckily they met but few
teams and those she was able to guide
the plunging animal past safely.
The animal had run in that hreakneck man.
ner up and down hill for about two miles
and there seemed to the brave woman no
hope of stopping him. She feared that
when they got nearer to the city they wonh
meet teams and there wonld likely be .
collision. When they came to Pcrhams
blacksmith shop she instantly made mp her
mind TO try radical method for stopping.
'nhesi,atingly she guided the animal into
the shop and clear to the forgr before be
stopped. The lady was unhurt and the
horse was uninjured

WHY It was Named Maohla..

A good many people doubtless have
wondered why Secretary Tracy named
the gunboat launched at Bath, Me-, tie
Machias. Machias people know why,
and are very proud of the exploit of
their ancestors, who within few weeks
of the battle of Concord fought smart
naval engagement and captureda a British
schooner which was blockading their
port. The captain of the British schooner
commanded the men of Machias to cut
down the liberty pole which they had
set up on their common. The men O.
Machias refused, and there was some
skirmishing of an inconclusive nature.
Finally some bold spirits in the town
fitted out sloop and attacked the
schooner, which was named the Marga.
retta. The engagement was brisk, and
the Americans succeeded in boarding
the schooner, drove her crew below and
pulled down the British colors. Machias
people claim that the Margaretta was
the first British vessel captured in the
Revolution, and their exploit is some
times called ''the Lexington of the Seas"
Machias is an historical place, and if
the gunboat is handled with the old
Machias spirit she will give a good ac-
count of herself. Boston Transcript

A HemarkabIe Stone Thrower.

1t is supposed that we have no men
nowadays who could compete on even
terms with the old archers. A man
named Uri Bailey recently died in Penn
sylvania who was worthy of place with
the old time soldiers His skill in throw
ing stones was said to be marvellous. He
was mentally deficient, but a giant phys
1cally. His aim with stones at any mark
or game was as unerring as that of the
most skillful handler of the rifle He
annually bagged scores of small game
pheasants, rabbits, quails and squirrels,
which he killed with stones
He could kill bird on the wing or a
rabbit at full speed almost as easily as
he could kill it at rest. He had large
leather pouch attached to one side of his
coat, in which he on all occasions car
ried good supply of carefully selected
stones. An exhibition of his skill, which
was always favorite with him, was to
set up scythe blade, edge toward him,
and at the distance Of 100 feet cut
apples in halves by throwing them
against the edge of the blade.
He could almost exactly halve two
out of every three apples he threw.
Robin Hoods great feat of skill was to
set up peeled sapling at considerable
distance and split it with an arrow. We
do not see that this is more difficult than
splitting the apple on the scythe blade.

COUNTY OFFICIALS.
AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION

Something must be done for onr
county roads and the sooner that some
thing is begun the better Judge Thorn
bury informs the CHRONICLE that levy
of twenty three mills will about meet
our county expenses for the current
year. That means levy OF two mills
less than last year. Now the CHRONICLE
suggests that the court fix the levy at
twenty-f mills, the same as last year
and devote the two mills to the improve
ment of our county roads. Hood River
needs road improvements, Tygh Hill de-
mands new grade, the read between
here and Long Wards needs permanent
improvements to make it passible at
times when it is most needed, other
places in the county are also crying for
road improvement that cannot possibly
be made by the ordinary work of the
respective road districts. Two mills
will give between five and six thousand
dollars for this work and this sum .judic-
lously spent will do an immense amount
of good. The addition of two mills to
the tax levy will never be felt by the
farmers. 1t means only a couple of
dollars additional on each thousand dol
lars of taxable property. The. farmers
cannot afford to kick because they will
reap the greatest benefit from the tax.
The Dalles ought not to kick because
every dollar it pays in this way will
come back again ten fold. Let all who
are interested in the improvement of
our county roads attend the meeting at
the county court room tonight and re-
solve that the tax levy shall be increased
two mills to raise fund for this much
needed work

Coats and Overcoats.

A clothing dealer says that about one
fifth of the masculine portion of the citys
population go through the winter with
out overcoats. In most instances the
cause is the lack of money to make q
purchase, but there are men who are
able to buy but who refuse to wear a
top coat. Some of these prefer two or
more suits Of underclothing to an over
coat. A great many whose occupation
keeps them indoors constantly invest
their money in street car rides on cold
days and get along well enough without
the big coat.
A well to do merchant scouts the idea
of more than one coat at time. He
keeps an assortment of coats of varying
weights and uses them in accordance
with the high or low temperature. He
insists that it is the only way to avoid
colds, which comes from overweight of
clothing that is used in all kinds of win
ter weather.-St. Louis Republic.
