LITTLE DANES AND MEN.

We all must remember when
We were little danes and men;
When each sorrow tugged away with all its
might
At our little hearts and eyes,
Til! the air was full OF slRhs,
And the brightest day was turned to darkest
night
How we'd weep,
How we'd creep
To our little beds to sleep,
With wet lashes on flushed faces; even then,
Not soul would ever know
Half our agony; and SO
We should sympathize with little DANES and
men
We must all remember when
We were little danes and men,
When we meet the little ones from day to day;
a kind word is just as cherp,
And 1t sinks to depths as deep
AS the harsh ono you were sending down their
way.
II you knew
How few
Gracious acts and words from you
We're planted in their souls; to blossom when
Golden days OF childhood seem
To be shadows of dream,
You would love and cherish little danes and
men.

BICYCLE GUMS.

Another Physical Popularity Said to Be
Due to the Wheel.
Bicycle riding and poor teeth are
about the last two subjects one would
place together, but that an overfond-
ness for indulgence in exercise upon
the wheel is developing diseased con-
dition of the gums and teeth can be
testified to by many unfortunate VIC
Tins and their dentists.
1t is caused, says the New York
World, by the extra effort necessitated
in ascending hills or in running races,
and the short, quick breaths of cold
air that strike the overheated gums
through the open mouth develop con-
gestion of those parts. The face swells
as with an ordinary toothacbe, pus
forms around the teeth and loosens
them, and in many cases leads to their
extraction later, and the pain is equal
to having all ones teeth ulceratinp at
once
A prominent dentist stated, when in
terviewed upon the subject, that he
had had several cases of that kind. TT
comes" he said, from an abnormal
current of air, from fast riding, strik-
ing the gums, and if the popularity of
the bicycle continues it will develop a
new feature in dentistry At private
meeting of several dentists the other
evening we found, upon comparing
notes, that these cases are increasing.
The only preventive is difficult one
to follow, and that is, always ride with

RAVAGES OF GRAIN SHUTS.
Means of Prevention Outlined by the Agri-
cultural College.

Means of Prevention Outlined by the Agri-
cultural College.
The ravages of the grain smuts are
reviewed and the means of prevention
outlined in report of the agricultural
department. The oat smut, which is
found throughout the United States
and is known on every continent, prob
ably has the widest distribution of any
of the species. The official estimate of
the direct loss from it is eight per cent.
of the crop, or about eighteen million
dollars annually Sinking smuts in
wheatfields cost the country many mil
lions of dollars annually. Sometimes
fifty or seventy.five per cent. of the
heads are smutted and the sound grain
is so contaminated with the fetd spores
as to be nearly worthless for flour and
worse than useless for seed. The dis
ease is often spread from farm to farm
by thrashing machines. When once
introduced, if left unchecked it in
creases year by year until large per-
centage of the crop is destroyed. The
loose smut usually causes a loss of ten
per cent. or more of the wheat crop,
and has even been reported as destroy
ing over fifty per cent. of crop in
Michigan. 1t is very difficult to pre-
vent, and ordinary treatment has little
effect. Wheat growers are urged to
try to secure seed wheat from fields
known by careful examination at flour
ing time to be free from loose smut 1t
can, however, be combated by treating
rough wheat to furnish seed the follow
ing year. Both the common and hid
den forms of smut can be eradicated
with equal ease, and by treating seed
oats oat growers can save many mil
lions of dollars annually Oat smut
can be eradicated by two newly-dis-
covered treatments of the seed by use
of potassium sulphide and hot water.
Hot water is also advocated for erad-
icating loose smut of wheat and barley
smut and copper sulphate for wheat
smut. The hot water and potassium
sulphite seed treatment result in an in
crease in the yield, averaging double
or treble what would result from SUP.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.
Planks Made of ork VIII Be Used In
New ShIps,

+"huo VI oTh w III DO JBeu IN
New Ships.
Several months ago the board of in
spcction and survey of the navy depart
ment was directed to make an investi.
cation with view of obtaining some
practicable substitute for wood in fit
ting naval vessels. The desire for a
substitute was the fact that lighter
material was wanted if possible, one
that would not take so much space in
the vessel, and more than anything
else material that would not splinter
1t was also desirable to have a non
combustible substance.
The board, says the Washington
Post, has made report to the secre-
.ary of the navy and some of its recon-
mcndations have been adopted by him,
and it is probable that some of the new
ships will be fitted with the new ma
terial as a substitute for wood.
One of the best materials which has
been found by the board is a wood sub
stitute composed of waste cork, or any
cork. This is subjected to four hun
dred degrees of heat, and it is then
pressed into blocks of any required
size 1t can be sawed into thin strips
or handled very much as wood is
handled. Cork has a gum that great
heat melts and CLUES its particles to-
gcther in compact mass. After being
pressed it sticks together as tightly as
If it had grown that way. The cork
boards may be made heavy or light, as
wanted. Some of the lighter kinds are
used in the walls of refrigcrators. 1t
Is q non-conductor, and can scarcely be
made to burn. This material is used in
the place of wood in German vessels.
Commander Bradford, who made the
search and examination of this particu,
lar substitute, found that the Germans
were using 1t under a patent taken out
by John Smith, of New York, and that
companies in the United States had OBJ.

WANT TWO SMoKESTACkS.
Russian Jews Refuse to Travel on q Vessel
Equipped with But One.

-
Equipped with But One.
A steamship ticket agent on the East
side whose business is chiefly with Pol
ish and Russian Hebrews who are
about to return to their homes tells OF
a popularity of his customers, says the
New York Tribune. No one of them
wants to travel on vessel having only
one smokestack. Somehow these peo-
pie have an idea that ship is not safe,
handsome, comfortable and speedy un-
less she has two or three stacks. Their
passage costs them only twenty dollars,
and they are not solicitous about baths
or the decorations of their quarters,
but on the point of single funnel they
are as firm as rock. A great many
passenger steamships have only one
stack. Some new ones in which the
steerage accommodations are especial
ly roomy and well ventilated have no
more, and the returning Poles insist
they will not travel on them. The
ticket agents feel no compunction
about assuring their customers that the
ship on which they are going to sail
has three "rochers" (smokers) as the
Hebrews call them, and even point to
big picture of her on the wall, which
serves as the likeness of any vessel
which may be talked of.
When the man and his family arrive
at the pier on the day of sailing there
is likely to be trouble when he dis
covers that his ship has only one mis-
cradle smokestack. Sometimes the
people refuse point-blank to go on
board, and say they will wait for a
steamer with three smokers" An eff
fective subterfuge has been invented
for such cases. Solemn assurance Is
given that the ship has three or four
smokestaclts, but that all but one short
one were taken down so that the ship
could pass under the Brooklyn bridge.
AS soon as she got out to sea the ad-
ditional stacks would be put in place
and eie would speed proudly on her
way. The ignorant East slider doesn't
know that vessels passing to sea from
the Hudson river never get within two
miles of the bridge, and takes his fami-
ly on board. What he says and does
when he learns that he has been de-
ceived does not bother the ships Off.

a sum- The judges of election receive $500,
$3.50 for holding the election and Sl.50 for
making out the return, and also 10 cents for
every circular mile travelled in bringing in
the return. The two inspectors each receive
50, so per day, and the two clerks each receive
$500 Each assessor receives $500 for his
services on election day and each constable
receives a like amount. Added to the above
is $1,000 for room rent for each polling place
and the board to compute the vote receives
