In support of the theory that mall
aria is water-born disease, DR..
Zwisohn. New York physician,
writes that his brother and family,
who live on the New Jersey coast, suf-
fered from malaria for years, that
during four years. residence with
them he never had the slightest
symptoms Of the disease and all be-
cause he insisted on drinking only
water that had been boiled. 1t took
him long time to convince the men,
bers of his brothers. family that the
malaria from which they suffered was
not in the atmosphere. but in the
water they drank, but when once con-
vinced and persuaded to do as he had
done and drink no water that had not
been boiled they, too, escaped the
distressing disease and have had no
symptoms Of it since.

WE shall have children and grand
children and we ought to guard their
interests. The poorest peasant in
Germany can to-day eat venison, and
eat 1t at lower price than beef or
mutton. Ptarmigan, grouse, wild
duck. hares, rabbits, snipe, pheasants,
plover and partridges are within the
reach of nearly every class in Eng
land. We have had 100000 head
Of all classes Of game, save pheasants
(true). rabbits and partridges to one
in England Of late years, yet now we
are running altogether out of game.
Shooting is not doing us the most
harm in the matter. The taking OF
duck eggs in the North for mucilage is
killing off the supply of wild fowl, and
something should be done to wheel
the Northwest, British Columbia Cam
ada and Manitoba into line with us on
the subject Of preservation of wild
fowl, otherwise our descendants will
have NO use for guns.

A ST. LOUIS bicyclist left his wheel
sitting beside the curbstone while he
went into business house. A baker
ran over the wheel and smashed it.
When the bicyclist came out and saw
his wheel in ruins he proceeded to
pummel the baker, and afterwards
sued him for damages, getting judg-
ment for $33. The case created q
great deal of interest, as the defense
set up was that bicycle is not ve-

According to the verdict OF the court
the bicycle has rights on the street,
and the person who maliciously
smashes up wheel does SO at his

A new material, composed OF coir
fiber. which is obtained from the husk
OF the cocoanut mixed with bitumen,
is about to be introduced into Eng
land for road paving. When formed
into blocks and laid on roadway it
forms a surface which is said to pos
sess all the advantages of wood and
asphalt, with none OF the objections
to those materials. 1t is wholly i'm
pervious to moisture, gives sure
foothold for horses, is very durable,
and is, moreover. very cheap, and the
old material can be utilized again and
again for making new blocks.

A NEW YORK court has decided that
when passenger drops nickle on the
floor of street car, it pays his fare
the same as if handed to the conduc-

decision is that the company owns the
car, and coin dropped accidentally is
therefore in its custody.
