THE POLICE CHANGES.
No Action Taken as Yet-The Charges
Against Sergeant Cooke Dis
missed.

The Board of Police Commissioners met
last night and listened for over three hours
to the testimony in the charges against
Sergeant Jesse B. Cooke of brutally treat
ing Chinese. The complaining witnesses
were: Chung Quan, S11 Dupont street, who
charged the sergeant with striking him
with cane on April Is, and Gwan 10y, 35
Waverley place, who charged him with
throwing him downstairs. The sergeant
was on these occasions in charge of the
Chinatown squad. The Commissioners
dismissed the charges, believing in the case
of Gwan 10y the testimony of the wit
nesses for the defense that he fell down
stairs. In the other case no evidence was
shown that Chung Quan had been struck
with the cane.
a warrant for Cookies arrest in Judge
CampbelPs court on the charge of assault
with means and force to produce great
upon him and he was arrested.
The Commissioners took no action last
night in regard to the designations of the
eight officers, including Captains Douglass,
Stone and Short. The petition signed by
downtown merchants asking that Captain
Douglass be retained was before them, but
it will not be considered until after July
20 the date fixed for the designations to be
all sent in. AS soon as the Board of Super
visors pass the necessary appropriation for
the additional seventy-ive men, the re-
organization OF the districts and appoint
ments OF captains, heutenants and ser
geants will be effected.

The claim of the eagle to the title of king
of birds seems to be slightly clouded by an
incident reported from Stafford County,
Va. A gentleman down there was watch
ing an unusually fine bald eagle grandly
sailing around in the air few days ago
when he noticed little bee martin rise in
the air and make straight for the eagle
He wondered what the martins object
could be, and was surprised to. see it sail
in boldly to tear the feathers out of the big
eagle. But he was amazed to see the eagle,
after few moments of effort at beating off
the little bird, sail away in full flight,
making every effort to escape from the
martin. The martin followed up closely
for a while, making savage jab at the
eagle every few yards, but was finally left
behind through the superior retreating
powers of the big eagle.

Helen Campbell says: "a modern
scoffer has lately written that the
reason Eve yielded to the serpent was
because apples We're good for the com
pleXion, and he told her so. Whether
the argument was needed or not, it is
n true one. Nothing in all our varied
and fascinating range of fruits holds
quite the quality of an apple. A ripe,
raw apple, at its best, is digested in
eightyfive minutes, and the malic
acid which gives it's distinctive char
acter, stimulates the liver, assists di-
gestion and neutralizes much noxious
matter, which, if not eliminated, pro-
duces eruptions of the skin. They do

Tho Grand Duko Won His Bet, But He,
Too. Lost His yaluablcs.
1t was n curious thing to brag about,
but it is said to be n fact, narrated by a
foreign journal, that upon the occasion
OF n certain dinner given by Russian
grand duke to the French ambassador
the Frenchman venturcd to say that in
picking pockets no lesople could surpass
the thieves of Paris
II should not wonder il the st.
Petersburg picllpocllcts could give them
start, replied the grand duke. And
seeing smile of unbclief PLAYING
around the features of the ambassador,
he added: "Win you wager that be-
fore we rise from the table your watch
or some other valuable will not be taken
from your person?"
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun of the thing, and the grand
duke tclephoned to the chief constable,
asking him 10 send at once the clever
est picltpocket he could lay his hands
on. The thief was to receive the full
value of every article he managed to
steal, and be allowed TO go unpunished:
The man came and was put into
livery, and told to wait at table along
with the other servants. The grand
duke told him to give him sign as
soon as he had picked the pocket of the
ambassador. But he had to wait long
time, for the ambassador, whose watch
was the article to be experimental
upon. always kept on the alert, and
even held his hand to his fob when con-
versing with the most distinguished
guests at the table. At last the grand
duke received the signal. He at once
requested the ambassador to tell him
the time. The latter triumphantly put
his hand TO his pocket and drew forth
a potato instead of his watch. There
was q general burst of laughter, in
which the ambassador himself joined,
though with wry face, for he was un-
mistalSably annoyed. To conceal his
feelings he would take pinch of snuff
His snuff-boX was gone! Then he
missed the seal-ring from his finger,
and, lastly, the gold toothpicll which he
always carried with him in q little case.
Amid the laughter of the guests the
sham laclley was requested to restore
the articles; but the grand-dulSe's merri-
ment was changed into alarm and sur
prise when the thief produced two
watches, two rings, two snuff ff-boXes,
etc. His imperial highness made the
discovery that he himself had been
robbed ut the same time.

the maui swinging bit. he didn't
like this, and backed off few feet.
The maui swung some more, and he
drew off still further; and. as soon as it
was quite still again, he sidled around
it at n prudent distance and investi-
gated it from the other side of the tree.
THE blame fool is scared of IT,
whispered Bill, scornfully; let's fling a
rock at him
No said l, knowing bears pretty
we'll; let's wait and see what he's going
to do
We'll, when the maui had been
pretty still for a minute or two. the
bear appeared to make up his mind it
didn't amount to much after all; he
came right close up to it, as bold as you
like. and paved it kind of inquiringly.
The maui swung away, and. being
hung short. it came back quick and
took the bear smart rap on the nose.
Bill and both snickercd, but the
bear didn't hear us. He was mad right
off, and. with snort, he hit the maui
a pretty good cuff; back it came like
creased lightning. and took him again
square on the srout with a whacls that
must have made him just soc stars.
Bill and l could hardly hold our
selves; but even if we had laughed
right out don't believe that bear
would have noticed us, he was so mad.
You know 4 bears snout is mighty
tender. Well, he grunted and snorted
and rooted around in the leaves bit,
and then went back at the maui as if
he was just going to knock it into the
other side of tomorrow He stood up
to it, and he did hit it so hard that it
seemed to disappear for half second.
1t swung right over the limb, and,
while he was looking for it, it came
down on the top of his head. Great
Scott! how he roarcd! And then,
scratching his head with one paw, he
went at it again with the other. and hit
it just the same way he'd hit il before.
tell you, Bill and l pretty near burst
as we saw that maui fly over the limb
again and como down on the top of his
head just like the first time YSu'd
have thought it woull have cracked his
skull; but bears head is as hard as
they make them.
This time the bear, after rubbing
his head and his snout, and roofing
some more in the leaves, sat back and
seemed to consider. In q second or two
he went up to the maui and tried to
take hold of it with one paw; of course
it slipped right away, and you'd have
thought it was alive to see the sharp
way it lodged back and caught him
again on the nose. 1t wasn't much of
n whacl this time, but that nose was
tender enough, thon And the bear
got desperate. He grabbed for the
maui with both paws; and that way, of
course, he got it. With one pull he
snapped the codline and the victory
was his. Charles G. ID. Roberts, in st.

"a couple of us were splitting slabs in
the Madawaska woods along in the
fall, when, all of a sudden, the head OF
the maui few OF. The maui struck
tree, glanced, and took Bill on the side
of the knee. Itkeeled him over so he
couldn't do any more work that day,
and had to help him back to the camp.
Before we left, took n bit of cod-line
out of my pocket, ran IL through the
eye of the maui, and strung the maui
up to a branch so IL would be easier to
find when wanted it.
1T was maybe week before went
for that maul-a little more than a
week, l should say; and then, it being
of n Saturday afternoon, when there
was no work to Go, and Bills leg being
so much better that he could hobble
alone, he and l thought we'd stroll over
to where we'd been splitting, and bring
the maui in to camp.
when we got pretty near the place,
and could see through the trees the
maui hanging there where we had left
it, Bill all of u sudden grabbed me
sharp by the arm, and whispered: Keep
stillv
What is it?' said /, under my
breath, looking all around.
Use your eyes if you've got any,
said he; and l stared through the
branches in the direction he was look
ing. But there was trunk in the way.
AS soon as l moved my head bit, L
saw what he was watching. There
was fine young bear sitting back on
his launches, and looking at the maui
as if he didn't know what to make of it.
Probably that bear had once been hurt
in trap, and so had grown suspicious.
That there maui hanging from the
limb of tree was something different
from anything he'd ever seen before.
Wondering what. he was going to do,
we crept little nearer, without MAX
in any noise. and crouched down be-
hind spruce-bush.
The bear was maybe couple CT
yards from She maui. and watching it
as if he thought it might get down any
moment and come at him. A little gust
of wind came through the trees and set

The sounding of the mayors horn at
Ripon. England, is one of the most
ancient customs in the kingdom. 1t
formerly announced the setting of the
watch, whence the chief officer of the
town, up to the year 1904, derived his
Saxon style of "Wakeman," but it has
now lapsed into the formality of three
blasts given at Q o'clock every evening
at the mayors residence by his official
hornblower, and three more at the
market cross. The ringing of the ca
thedral bell at the same time is also a
custom of high antiquity, and is sup
posed to represent the ancient curfew.
The ancient horn of the waseman of
Ripon is still preserved among the COR
poration insignia. 1t is the natural
horn of an OK, thirty inches in length.

How to Plant Apple Trees.

There is deplorable tendency among
apple orchard planters to set the trees
too close together. Numerous or
chards, just coming into bearing, have
their trees only twenty-five and TWEEN
ty-four feet apart, with limbs almost
interloclsing, while thus young. The
smallest limit should be two rods, or
thirty-three feet, thirty-five feet would
pe better, and thirty eight or forty still
better. When the trees get large and
their limbs meet passage through the
orchard with horses is obstructed, as
well as cultivation. Further, the
ground so densely shaded becomes sour
and unproductive, SO far as fine fruit
is concerned.

NOVEL MOUSE TRAP.
1t Ia so Simple That Each of Our Roy
Readers Can Make One.

Readers Can Make One.
Mice are very knowing little animals.
md are often too shrcwd to be caught
by even the best steel traps. To make
a very effective mouse trap take large
jar-the kind used for jam and preserves
and tie over the top piece of stiff
brown paper. In the center of this cut
II cross. Set the jar in n closet. and
suspend by a string a piece of toasted
cheese or bacon rind over the center.
If the mice cannot easily reach the top
of the jar runway may be constructed
by placing one end of n board on the
edge of the jar, and allowing the other
end to rest on the floor. If there are
any mice about the bait will attract
them. Just as soon as the first mouse
reaches the center OF the paper he will
drop through into the jar, and the
paper will fly back ready for the next
conner.
The same kind of trap may be used
for catching rats, only n barrel must
be substituted for the jar. A rat will
soon gnaw out of such trap if not
prevented. The best way to avoid
this is to fill the barrel partly with
water. This trap is great favorite
with country people. They lay good
sized stone or brick in the bottom of
the barrel, and pour in just enough

She's always running away to hide
On purpose to make me search:
She jumps on wagons to steal ride,
And giggles aloud in churchl
She broke the blade OF my pocketknife;

canditiors Under Which They Can BE
Used to Advantage.

lncn ana one ana One-nal1 1nC0 JlreS re-
spectively on block pavement, good,
hard, sandy road, good, level, gravel
road, and in each soft and deep mud.
The conclusions arrived at by the
committee were:
/. On hard roads, block pavements
and other permanent and substantial
roads there is no argument, SO far as
actual draft is concerned, in favor of
the wide tire, the effect being rather
against the wide tire.
9. In their effect upon hard roads the
wide tires have the advantage, and that
this benefit is not sufficiently appre-
ciated by turnpike and macadam road
companies.
3. In soft mud, slush, and under sim
liar circumstances, under which even
the wide tire cuts in, the advantage is
against the wide tire and in favor of
the narrow.
A. On soft sod and soft ground, where
the wide tire does not cut in and the
narrow does, the advantage is on the
side of the wide tire.
s. In loading a team a draft of $50
pounds steadily applied is as much as
should be expected for days work,
and that on soft sod tn may mean,
when dead-pull has to be taken, an
increase in the draft of 200 pounds.
6. The difference in the latter case
between the regular draft of $50
pounds and the increase of !, 200 pounds
is equivalent to an addition of two
tons $50 pounds to the load.
Z. Or. in other words, the draft of
the load being $50 pounds may be con-
sidered as equivalent to load of two
tons $50 pounds, and the difference
from the steady draft of the load in
fair motion, and that of the same load
started at a dead-pull, is equivalent to
doubling the load.
The committee closed their report
with: I'VE advocate wide tire for
farms, and narrow tire for good roads
and pavements.'
Experiments at the Utah expert
ment station demonstrated that
given load on IA inch tire drew 41.6
per cent. heavier than when on g.
inch tire, the draft being on fairly
stiff grass sod; on a moist but hard
road the IA inch tire drew 1877 per
cent. heavier than the 3-inch.
An authority upon the subject of the
effect of wide tire says: In New
York state the experiment was made
of using wide tires on a road about 5
miles long leading to a stone quarry.
The heavy wagons used thereon were
equipped with rear wheels having
tires inches wide, and forward wheels
having tires inches wide, the forward
wheels tracking just inside the rear
wheels. Each wagon was thus trans
formed into roller covering 20 inches
in width every time it passed along.
Smaller wagons We're equipped with
wheels similar in principle. The road.
which formerly rutted necessarily and
deeply, was covered with stone chips,
which these wagons soon rolled into a
hard mass. The road now supports
loads of from 5000 to 10000 pounds,
and consequently has a hard, compact,
and regular surface. The cost of haul
ing loads over this road in reduced
about 20 per cent"
