havepain when we moved. The bones
are kept in place at the joints by very
strong bands or ligaments, in hinge
joints number of these bands are
fastened above and below, but in ball

the joint, forming cap, in which the
Joint moves freely. In disease this
smooth cartilage gets worn away, and
the ends OF the bone rub together like
those of a skeleton; the pain is great,
because the bones have nerves, though
the cartilage has none. A bone with
out cartilage is like a decayed tooth
with an exposed nerve. In a healthy
tooth the nerve is we'll covered, and
gives no pain. and in a healthy bone
the nerves are there, but they are only
felt when the cartilage is worn away.

Great Engineering Feat.

The annual report of the Light House
Board will snnouce the intention of the
Government to undertake the work of
constructing light house on Diamond
Shoal, of Cape Hatteras, which has
always been regarded as the most dan
gerous point on the Atlantic coast. The
report will also ask that Congress ap-
propriates $500 900, in addition to $780,
600 now available, for the erection Of
the structure. and 1t 10 proposed to be-
gin the work early in March, when the
winds and seas are favorable for work
along the North Carolina shores. A
previous attempt to build light house
was defeated through the mistake of
the contractors in selecting the time of
the year when northeast storms were
liable to sweep along with but little
warning.
Fearing that no private firms will be
willing to undertake the building Of
the structure, the Government will
probably take it in hand and establish
station, which, II completed, will
represent the greatest engineering feat
of its kind in the world. Diamond
Shoal extends seven miles out to sea
from Cape Hatteras, and is covered in
depths varing from ten to twenty feet
of water. The Hatteras Point light is
now the sole warning mariners have to
keep clear of the coast, but in hazy
weather tae range of the light is neces-
sarily limited, and vessels will often
approach to within close proximity of
the danger without being aware of it.
Shifting sands and the great force of
the seas and winds render the erection
OF light extremely problematical, but
members of the board are confident
that the feat can be accomplished with
the assistance of Congress by liberal
appropriation.
1t is estimated that it will require at
least $1,0O0,000 to establish structure
which will be proof against the terrific
pounding of the seas and the driving
storms which sweep around that local
ity. 1t is proposed to place the struct-
ure on the end of the shoal at least
seven miles from the nearest shore, and
If the plans of the board are ever con-
summated the light will be the perfec-
tion of engineering skill in the line of
light house construction. 1t will even
surpass the famous Eddystone light off
the southern coast of England, which
was three times destroyed, and each
time reestablished.

VACCINATION OF PUPILS.

National Com nm il sion er of Education Aar-
rIs Opposes Compulsory Vaccination
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Ccmmissioner
of Education Harris has discussed the
question of vaccination in the pubic
schools in an interview today. DR.. Harris
said: 81 am opposed to compulsory vac
cinatiOn of the public school pupils
However 1 believe that children should
be refused admission in the schools when
it is found that they lack evidence OF
having been vaccinated. Once in two or
three years physician should visit the
schools of each city to vaccinate those
whose parents have expressed their Will
ingness. As an illustration of the bene-
fits of revaccination, an average
of "a per cent of the pupils of
the St Louis schools who were vac
cinated in 1868 at which time I was
superintendent, took again The fact
shows that they were liable to take the
smallpox,
at is important that opportunity be
given all school children of vaccination
in once in two or three years. The gen.
eral law, l think, should prohibit admis-
sion of children without vaccination
prior to their entrance into school work.
Almost all the city schools have rules
on this subject and in the western cities
these rules are rigidly enforced. The
mortality from smallpox in the schools
is not large; for instance, in St. Louis
during an epidemic some time ago L
found that one out of 1000 pupils, or
one pupil in every two schools had the
disease. 1t is essential though that skill
full physicians be employed and good
vaccine be used"

son was placed under arrest. He put
up So for his appearance in court, which
he forfeited by non appearance.

had been drunk, was discharged. He
told the court he was never drunk be-
fore; that he s'didn't mean to- and would
never do so again, and moreover he had
no money and is an old soldier. The
court concluded that Murray had been
taught a sufficient lesson by being

THEY DON'T WANT MUCH.
Fusion Democrats VIII be Satisfied With
Two Places on the Ticket


The fusion Democrats are very much
interested in the coming Populist state
convention, which is to meet here June
18th.
The Democrats will be easily satisfied.
and if the Populists will put two Demo
Gratis on their state ticket the fusionists
will throw up their hats and cheer for
the Populist ticket.
OF course these two nominations must
be outside of the head of the ticket, as
the fusionists expect the Populists to re-
nominate Lewelling for governor.
One of the places they covet is that of
associate justice of the supreme court.
and the man they want named for that
position is George w. Clark, who has
been assistant attorney general during
the last two administrations, except dur
ing the short reign of Noah Allen. Clark
is good Democrat and a good lawyer
and he enjoys the confidence of the
Populist leaders and his nomination for
associate justice is one of the possibili-
ties.
The other place the fusion Democrats
want is that of secretary of state. Sec
rotary Osborn has already declined the
denomination and it is conceded that the
place should go to the Sixth district.
j. W. Amos of Smith county a middle
of the road Populist seems to be the
strongest man now in sight for the place,
but the Democrats don't like him. They
say Amos won't do at alP and they
would like to have one of their own
crowd named for secretary of state. 1t
has been suggested that Tully Scott would
accept the nomination if it came his
way.
The nomination of Clark and Scott by
the POpulists would be satisfactory to
most all Kansas Democrats and they
would no doubt support the entire Popu-
list state ticket in consideration of those
two offices.
