by the fact that the reports of the

of her majesty's government in
America. The population in Canada
seems to be at standstill. but il Is
not altogether probable that the plan
to arrest the Canadian population de-
cay by taxation will prove successful,

Will certainly not prevent. On the
contrary, it is likely to encourage u

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-In group OF
business men smoking cigars after dim
her at the Mercantile club the other
afternoon, the statement was made by
a manufacturer that the city would
spend fully quarter Of million dol
lars in testing smoke-preventing de-
vices this year. He meant, of course,
the manufacturers of the city who have
Joined the club which intends to clear
the air of the smoke. This club got up
the bills organizing the city crusade
against the smoke nuisance, which the
Mayor has just signed. The laws es
tablish a bureau with inspectors, whose
duty it is to prosecute those who will
not use smoke preventing devices on
their furnaces. A popularity of the
law that distinguishes it from those
proposed in other cities is that any in
ventor can have his device tested and
its merit decided upon by board of
experts paid by the city. The club
hopes to rid the city of half of its smoke
cloud by the beginning of summer.
Ever since the Merchants bridge
was completed it has been seen that
st. Louis would have to have another
one to cross the Mississippi for the
special use Of foot passengers and
vehicles. The Eads bridge built up
East st. Louis, and the Merchants
bridge made Madison and Venice grow
into fiourishing lows. The people OF
these two towns cannot get to st.
Louis on foot or by vehicles. They
must use the regular trains of the Mer-
chants Terminal Company, or wait for
slow fcrry-boats. They want a bridge
over which electric cars can run, and
Congress provides for this kind of
bridge, which is to be built by st.
Louis men at cost of about 100000
Mayor Noonan has just signed bill
that will give st. Louis another cleo
trio street railway before the crowds
begin to fill the city for the
Fall Festivities. The road will
run along Grand Avenue, one
of the widest and most important resi-
dence throughfares of the city. 1t will
enable one to ride from the cemeteries,
to the Grand Avenue viaduct, and
across that to Tower Grove Park. The
road will cost half million dollars,
and will be built entirely by st. Louis
capital.
The st. Louis Turner societies are
noted all over the United States for ther
gymnasts. There are six turn halls in
the city, and the membership of the
societies is over 10000. About five
hundred of the best of these gymnasts
are being drilled for exhibitions at the
Worlds Fair. The corps will include
all tine young athletes who participate
in the events on the Turner nights at
the st. Louis exposition. and there will
be besides, specially drilled body of
n hundred men or so who are known
among the Turner's everywhere
as prize-winners in the national
competitions. The corps will go to the
Worlds Fair prepared to issue and re-
ceive challenges for all sorts of feats of
strength and skill, and they hope to
engage in competition with Turner's
from Germany.

Current News.


The Vesuvius is apparently
doomed. Navy department experts
in ordnance have about concluded to
recommend against the pneumatic
gun system on shipboard Commo-
dore Sampson, chief of ordnance,
will soon present his comments on
the report of the board which re-
Gently examined the guns of the
cruiser at Port Royal, and while the
comments of this officer will not
boldly condemn the system, it is
likely he will discourage the continu-
ance of this form of gun in the navy,
much less the further introduction
of the system in the service, as was
possible under an old act of Con-
gress. Commodore Sampson appar-
entity shares with his predecessor,
Commodore Folger, the latter's OBJ
Jection to the pneumatic system, and
in the absence of any good reason
for the retention of fixed tubes in
the bow of the Vesuvius the guns
will probably be removed and the
ship converted into an ordinary gun
boat, although her lines and engine
construction would not make her a
perfectly satisfactory vessel of that
type, while her vulnerability renders
her of little use as warship. There
is some talk of holding another trial
of the Notwithstanding her to sea.
The recent trial is thought to be
hardly extensive enough to answer
all the questions asked concerning
the Vesuvius. But the report of the
board is now believed to make as
good a showing for the ship as is
possible, and experts are inclined to
think the additional trials would not
contribute to the information already
possessed. The matter of fuses, the
occasion of so much extra work for
the board, is one easily corrected.
The same cannot be said for the
valve gear of the ship. The faults in
that part of the guns remained al
most as pronounced and objectiona-

SICK HEADACHES.
Some suggestions for Their Treatment at
Home.

There are varieties of headaches
produced by various causes, as over
study or exhaustion; or by a peculiar
state of the system, as the throbbing
pain in the head which precedes apo
plexy, but these should be prescribed
for by physician, writes Elizabeth
Robinson Scovil in the May Ladies
Home Journal. In many cases the
cause of the headache is deep-seaten
and must be removed before perma-
nent relief can be hoped for Neu-
ralgia in any part of the body i'm
plies that the nerves are starved and
are crying out for food. This must
be supplied before the pain will
cease. There are, however, meas
ures which can be tried to give tenn
porary relief, and no one who has
not suffered from the headache of
neuralgia knows what this means to
the victim. Camphor and choral,
rubbed together until they form a
liquid, may be painted over the spot,
or menthol pencil used in the same
manner. If these cannot be obtained
the face should be bathed in very hot
water, and a mustard paste applied,
tnl lyin.r 10
enough to blister. A flannel wet
with chloroform liniment may be
tried, and hot-water bag will some
times ease the pain. A cup of hot
tea followed by teaspoonful of val
erinate of ammonia may do good
A person subject to this form of
headache should eat plenty of nour-
ishing food, as fresh meat, all the
cereals, vegetables, particularly
beans and celery, and drink milk
hot or cold, and cocoa in preference
to tea and coffee. These may be
used as a stimulant in necessity, but
not as regular beverage. Friction
of the whole body by rubbing is val
liable and it should be kept warm in
cold weather by suitable clothing,
with flannel next the skin, especially
at night.
The teeth should be examined by
dentist and properly attended to.
If these measures fail a nerve tonic
is necessary.

Tomatoes.

Set tomatoes in a warm sunny
place with soil light and deep, but
not too rich. Plant about three feet
apart each way, and as they grow,
watch carefully and pinch off nearly
all side shoots, allowing only few
strong ones to remain. AS the
plants grow, tie securely to stout
stakes about three feet high When
they reach that height pinch out the
top to prevent further growth and
watch side shoots more closely than
ever. In this way the remainder of
the plant grows strong and vigorous,
and bears it's fruit in large clusters.
One thus pruned, standing beside
one unpruned with other conditions
the same, will bear half as much
more fruit, of larger size and finer
flavor, and will ripen more evenly
and week or ten days earlier than
the other.

Danger of Moldy Feed.

AS a rule the dust" of any kind of
mold or mildew is injurious in the
feeding oy its passing with the breath
into the lungs or into the stomach.
This dust is the seed of a micros-
copic plant. Thus mildewed hay fed
to horses will almost certainly pro
duce heaves, which is due to inflam
nation and consequent thickening of
the air passages and in many cases
to gastric disturbance. Hence it is
not advisable to use feed of any kind
that is moldy Sometimes the mold
germs have been known to poison
the blood and produce infiammatory
disorders, resulting in gangrene of
various parts. If the moldy fodder
is cut and stepped in boiling water
and fed with meal and some salt,
these i'll effects have been avoided

Immigrant Inspector Conkling in
his Official reporter to the Treasury
Department as to the violation of the
allen contract labor law, among other
statements, says:
'The padrone system is the most
damnable, outrageous and injurious
to American workingmen of any sys-
tenn that was ever practiced in the
United States, and there is no deny
ing the fact that it exists in almost
every city in this country where
there is an Italian colony
The report details how Italian la
borers are brought into this country
and coached and instructed on the
journey over, so that when they ar
rive by false swearing they evade
the inspectors.
Conkling says that the railroad
contractors need not be so closely
watched in future in regard to the
violation of the alien contract labor
law as the Italian bankers and pad
rones. The former, in partnership
with the padrones, furnish the money
and newly arrived Italians were sup
piled in hundreds to work ON Ameri-
can railroads to the exclusion of
American workingmen.
The report was called forth by the
instructions issued by Assistant Sc
cretary Spaulding last March to look
into the illegal landing of ten italian
laborers. AS a result of two months
labor, Inspector Conkling arrested
Phillippi Cheone, the padrone on
whose perjured affidavit the ten Ital-
ians were landed. The case is re-
garded as an important one, and
will be tried in the New York State
courts this month.
