Alciatore, of the State weather service.
Will make special call upon his crop
correspondents for information about
tuberculosis and scabies. lie will also
ask for date concerning special crops,
and thus will make the work of the
] bureau more exact.
A Slight REsEMnLANcE.-There is
degree of resemblance between
Governor McGraw and L. NJ. Reed, Jr.,
that would easily deceive any person
not familiar with both gentlemen. If
MIR. Reed wore glasses and had n
heavier mustache the resemblance
would be almo,t complete.
RATHER DIrrICrLT-During inter
walls between showers to-day the side
walks were cleaned and some of the
crossings repaired. A new walk has

Sunday, and OF the work in general.
AN ODD SEAsoN.-The season is
certainly different from any that has
preceded it, Here it is the middle of
June, and climatic conditions have
been such as to absolutely prohibit
the picnic excursions and camp-life.
which usually begin the LIST of May.
The temperature is too low, the
woods too damp and the barometer
altogether too unsteady, for the most
enthusiastic pleasure-seeker to ven
ture abroad.
VALUE OF CONFERENCE.-THE pres
ent spell of uneasiness in money mat
tiers will serve as u valuable object
lesson to persons interested in study
ing the money question. 1t shows
that the entire financial system of the
county depends upon the confidence
that meu have toward each other.
Confidence is the backbone of all fin
ancial and business operations, and
whenever it is weakened the banks
begin to break, and then the business
houses come down.
TUBERCULOSIS. - Secretary Arm
strong OF the State Board of Health
says the State Board is investigating
death in Pierce county that appears
to have been caused by tuberculosis.
This is n very iHsidious disease that
affects cattle like consumption does q
human being. II render the meat
and milk poisonous. 1t even taints
the butter made from milk produced
by cows affected with this disease.
The germs of poisson can be destroyed
by cooking the meat thoroughly and
by boiling the milk.
4 REVOLVING FAN-Walter Cham
bers has attached TO the ceiling of his
market revolving fan, which seems
to be an excellent device for cooling
the atmosphere and promoting ventil-
lation. 1t is attached to the water
moter, which is used primarily to run
the meat cutter, and a steady mot on
is kept up whenever the temperature
is to be lowered or the impurities ex
PEELED. The fans are oar-shaped and
about four feet long, and can be ad-
justed SO as to regulate the current or
send it in any required direction.
CLAMs.-Persons who wish to get
CLANS without digging for them should
follow in the track of the dredger.
CLAIMS by the ton have been stacked
up under the long wharf. They are
buried as rapidly as they are thrown
out, so il you want some Of them you |
must get there early. II wouldn't be
II bad idea for some enterprising indi-
vidual to hire the dredger for clam-dig
ging purposes especially, on the occa
sion of big clam bake when all the
young men are 50 busy with their girls
that they cannot attend to the digging
Of the clans.
RuBBIsH.-That is what it is called

Gently occupied by the Tide Land
There are two saddles
in the heap that at once attracted the
attention OF Erastus Brainerd and
other members OF the board. The
question is, shall the stuff be moved,
sold, given away, or appropriated for
the private use of State officers.
Owing to the absence of money for
incidentals the stuff will remain where
it is until money grows with which to
pay somebody for moving it.
