SUGGESTIONS eALoRE.

Defense from Fertile Hrains.

Navy Department Flooded with Plans for
Defense from Fertile Brains.
The navy department has been fair
ly deluged with plans and suggestions
for defense since the agitation of war
with England. There has been an av-
erage receipt of four projects daily
from fertile ind more or less inexpert
minds in all parts of the country. Most
of the suggestions for strengthening
our coast defenses come from the in
land cities. and the most formidable
and original propositions for ferocious
war ships come from those who have
never seen the sea. All of the SUCCESS
tons are examined carefully by the
bureau which is most concerned, lest
they may contain Il sensible idea, and
all of them are properly filed away
with the oftentimes interesting models
which accompany the letters. Ac-
lnowledgmentsof all hints are prompts
~ made, but the department letter is
more polite than committal.
Secretary Herbert has declined re.
peatcd requests to permit some of the
more curious suggestions to be de-
scribed. He takes the ground that the
plans are presented in all seriousness.
aud come from an honest purpose of
contributing to the ability of the coun-
try to defend it's interests at home and
abroad,

is the Stadtverordseten-V ersomm-

the management of the many depart

hy taxes) is. in round figures, IS, 100000
marks. OF this sum 1856, 900 marks is
being expended for the erection of new
buildings and the care of old ones:
15,0O0,0oO for schools; 9,Gs5,oOO for in !.
terest on the city debt; 9,573,oOO for as
sistance to the poor; 7,s4o,oOo for adj

fire departments; 3,4o1 900 for sewers,
ETC., and 2,41s,0O0 for street cleaning
and sprinkling. The latter figures
especially show how economical
ly and efficiently the city's money
is expended, for with this g.
41s,Ooo marks (s6oO,ooo) the streets Of
Berlin are kept cleaner and cooler than
those of any other large city in the
world.
1t is true that the municipal terri
tory of Berlin is much smaller-beine
only Is square miles-than that of Chi
cago or other large American cities,
and that the streets are magnificentIy
paved, thus rendering their regular
cleaning much more easy. But even in
Paris, where conditions in this latter
respect are similar, the city has to
spend much larger sum-evcn rela-
lively consideration like service.
The municipal administration of Der
lin is carried on from the rathhaus-or
city hall-in the heart of the old town.
There are the central bureaus of all
the departments, with the exception of
the police and fire departments (Which
latter, while the city bears the cost of
their maintenance, are under the orders
of the royal government, which latter
has, too. the right Of appointment and
of discipline), and among these bureaus
are some of which American cities
know nothing. For instance, there is
central bureau for the control of do
lnestic service, including the manage
ment of n fund from which annually
premiums are paid to and honors con.
ferred on servants who have proven
themselves particularly efficient, faith
full or self-sacrificing. The divorce
lnent of the police and fire departments
from city politics, to which brief ref
erence was made above, is another
striking difference between American
and German city governments. Its
effects are, on the whole, most salutary
and beneficial.
The city government of Berlin in it's
totality is termed der Magistrat,"
and for the sake of convenience may
he allowed to retain that appellation.
1t consists of two bodies-the "magis-
trait" proper, with the ''oberburger-
meister" or chief mayor atits head. and

THREATENS LUMBER INTERESTS

Trouble In the Transvaal Likely to Hurt
Growing Trade of Puget Sound.
The revival of the lumber business
OF I'uget sound, which has been OH
during the past is months, steadily in
creasjng during that time as result
OF the opening up of the South African
country, is seriously threatened on ac-
count of the Transvaal trouble. Mil
linnsof feetof lumber have been shipped,
from Puget sound to Delagoa bay dur
ing the past year, and there has been
steacy increase in the shipments each
month.
The first Indication of the probable
loss of the Puget sound trade in this
direction came a few days ago, when
a firm of lumber agents at Port Town
send, WASH, was notified that the cor
respondent at Johannesburg would not
be able to make any more charters
until the threatened trouble in the
l'rlnsvaal subsidized. The news is caus-
ing feeling Of depression in lumber
circles there, and is regarded as sig
nificant of considerable loss to western
Washington.

Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle cfforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupo
Figs stands highest and is most largely
vsedand gives most general satisfaction.

"Whew! say, take 'em around to the

with me if don't let 'em alone"
What are skunk skins bringing?"
queried the Rolfe (Pa.) correspondent
Of the New York Press.
''Thirty-fve cents to one dollar, some
extra fine ones bringing as high as
$1.10. The quality of fur is uniform.
that is to say, the difference in price
is due to color and marking.
There's a big demand for skunk
skins now, and as they are the stupid
est little animals in the world they are
captured in great numbers. They.
never exert themselves to go round al
trap. They are grcgarious, six, eight
or maybe dozen of them living in,
good fellowship in the same burrow.
They are too lazy to burrow deep, but
they occasionally take up their abode,
in some woodchuck's hole.
ITO reach down into the burrow,
grasp skunk by the tail and jerk him
up so suddenly that he can't shower,
you with his highly concentrated altar,
of roses is q trick that is done hundreds
of times every warm day through the
winter, but wouldn't attempt to ac-
complish it for hatful of five-dollar
Williams.
"Old hunters say that skunk can't
scent unless he can get his feet on the
ground, so they jerk 'em up by the tail
and then crack 'em on the head with q
club. The boy you smelt just now had
dozen nice pelts, but he don't under
stand the business or he wouldn't have
got scented up So"
"After it gets into the hands of the
furrier what becomes of the skunk
fur?'
Sable" was the laconic reply. "The
skunk and the sable are first cousins,
anyway, and the dealer doesn't worry,
over trivial distinctions like that"
