Tanning Materials in Canaigre.

"The tanning materials in Csn8igre
remain pretty constant throughout the
growing season With, however, q small
but distinct increase after the plants
become established in vigorous growth.
The amount of this increase in mature
roots from year to year was further
shown by taking four samples of wild
roots comprising every age up to about
five years, dividing the samples as near
as posi- ole into successive years growth,
and analyziDg. 1t was found that the
average Increase OF tanning materials
from year to year in ten instances was
1.64 per cent lin water free material.
In one set OF cultivated samples the
averages OF the fret and second years
roots differed 2.64 per cent. This in
dIcates small but constant increase in
the per cent of tanning materials from
year to year, but holds true only So long
az the roots retain their vitality. When
they die the tanning substances quickly
disappear. Although the percentage
does not increase remarkably from year
to year, the roots themselves become
larger so that the actual amount Of tar
ming materials is much greater. Prof.

SHAKESPEARE never took any trouble
to hand himself down to fame and pos
terity. Gays the London Chronicle.
Superbly Indifferent to renown, writing
only a. the eun shines and the winds
blow, because it was the work he was
created for, he dashed off those marvel
.ous PRODUCTIONS, and when thsy had &C.
eomplished their object of paying his
current expenses and pleasing the p1b-
lie of his time he retired 70 Stratford-
on-Avon, utterly careless, as it seems,
whether bis splendid plays lived ia the
memories of men or died out Of recoi-
lection. 1t was part OF his royal and
lofty nature, this large indifference, 30
grandly contrssted with modern yesrn-
ing to be advertised, the lattsr-dsy ache

BLooMERs as an exhibit in a divorce
court are a novelty, but Mrs. Henry
Cleatiag, of Patterson, N. j., introduced
them in her defense Of the divorce quit
brought by her leigs lord. He wanted
to be freed from martial ties because
she persisted iD wearing bioomers ard
taking long bicycle rides. Mrs. Cieet-
ing flied cross suit charging her bus
band with incompetibility Ct temper be-
cause he didn't like her bicycle rides.
She says that one day he rushed out of
their house as she was returning from
bicycle ride, seized her around the waist
and pulled her from her bicycle. As
q consequence her bloomers were shgt-
tered so badly that they are of no fur
ther use except as evidence. She also
alleges that after she got inside the
house her husband secured an axe and
in short time her bicycle was nothing
but bundle of bent wire and wheels.
1t will be exhibited IN court also. In

wife's bloomers, it should be said that
they we're of bright red color, and they
made him as mad as a bull in front Of

DETROIT. Mich, Aug. 31-Frank
Beu blen, aged 40, member of an old

fresno, Aug. 3O-W. W. Rockwell,
q laborer living near the Russian set
tlement in this city, fatally shot his
wifs about $50 o'clock tonight.
The crime appears to have been
colc-blooded and disbolicsl one. Rock
well is known to be a worthless char
acter. A few months ago he had to
pawn the only bedstead in the house to
keep from going to Jail for crooked work.
He had been having trouble with his
wife for some time, through no fauls OF
the woman, according to the statement
OF neighpoTs.
This afternoon she rode to doctors
office with q well-known farmer who
happened TO be passing, and was asked
by one OF her ueighbors for that cour-
tesy. The worthless husband became
=i.dly jeslous because of this action
and denounced her in brutal terms. A
quarrel ensuaG, and tho fellow pulled
his revolver and commenced shooting.
The 1rst shot struck the woman in the
back, and she ran shrieking from the
house, closely followed by the murder
Gus h1sbsnd. He fired FIVE shots, two
of which struck her in the head, one
of these being necessarily fatal. The
woman is still alive and has made q
dying statement, but death is inevita-

THE Medical Hospital corps at Fort
Riley, Kansas, has been abandoned by
Surgeon-General Sternberg, who has
lately made an inspection Of that insti-
tuition. Forty young men were under
instruction there for the duties of hos
pital stewards, the intention being TO
send them to posts west Of the Missis-
sippi river where their services might
be needed. 1t was found, however, that
Fort Riley was too remote from most of
the military stations in the west, and
very few OF the students we're assigned
to duty on account of the excessive cost
of transportation from that station to
other points where they we're needed.

ed post IN each of the Western militia
ry departments where a smaller class
will be maintained and will be able to
furnish the expert aid which is required.

THE YOUNG MAN AS A CITIZEN
A Citizen Has No Right to be Neg
leotful of the Community
Welfare.

The Rev. Charles 81. Parkhurst, d. D.,
treats Of "rhe Young Man as Citizen
in his article in September Ladies' Home
Journal. In defining the duties of citi.
zenshIp he says: "a citizen has no
more right to be neglectful OF the inter-
este of the civic whole in which he is q
member than q parent or child has to
be neglectful OF the interests of the do.
mestic whole in which he is q mem Der.
There is the came quality Of un-Chris-
tian disregard involved In both cases,
and whether man let's his state or city
shift for itself or whether be let's his
family shift for itself. in the one instance
as well as in the other, he is false to his
corporate duty and Is despicable shirk
"The doctrine just enuncisted needs
to be preached and pushed. A great
deal of our political misery is due to the
fact that men, who are fairly faithful in
most Of the relations in which they are
placed, do not hesitate, and are not
ashamed, to be drones and renegades in
their relations to tie town or nation that
they belong to. They would consider
themselves reprobates were they to al
low q neigh Dor to suffer abuse without
al attempt at intervention, but would
see their entire city with all its machin-
cry OF government go to the dogs and
the hRrpies witGont one definite effort
ss rescue or one distinct thought that
such inaction was wicked and inhum8n.
Nothing will correct this evil but the
creation OF sentiment so energetic and
pervRsive that decent people will not
have the cowsrdly audacity to neglect
the primary duties that pertain to them
in their civic capacity. Citizens will at.
tend the primaries, register and vote
when the prevalent sentiment of attach
mant to our institutions is so pronounc~
ed and compelling, that failure to dis
charge the functions of a citizen will be
branded as contemplate. Patriot
ism has come rather generally to be in
terpreted as willingness to fight and
dia for ones country and it's iustItu-
tions. That answers very we'll for def
initioD Of patriotism during times OF
war, but is generally deficient in thst it
OF peace. We should consider that g
very cheap specimen OF coniugal fidelity
which put man upon caring for his
wife ana devoting himself to her neces-
stiles only on occasions when she was
threatened by ruffians. A husbands
love has its sphere of service at all times
end IN all situations. So has patriotism.
Shooting our national enemies is only
a small and accidental part of the mat
ter. What our country needs most is
men who will love her and-not die for
her, but live for her while there is no
shooting gong on"

OK the suggestion of the government

On the suggestion OF the government
of Norway and Sweden, the state de-
partment is looking into the treaty
rights of foreign nations to have their
merchant ships enjoy certain privileges
which the American laws give to Amer
lean ships. Other cations are also in
terested. The question has arisen IN
connection with law passed by the last
congress which provides that small
packages imported to this country by
vessels of the United States should be
expedited in their shipment across the
country by not having to go into
bounded warehouse at the port of srriv-
al. 1t applies 10 presents and small per-
sonal packages sent from abroad and
not to the bulk of merchandise. The
treasury department has decided that
the law gives no authority to extend the
privilege beyond ships OF the United
States. This leaves the question to be
determined by the state department,
where the navigation and shipping pro-
visions of various treaties with foreign
countries are being looked into.

MARRIAGE IN INsTALLMENTs

The course OF true love is often i'm
peded by a financial snag. This is q
truism which has found expression in
many forms ever since Cupid first un-
slung his quiver to aim his initial dart
Varied are the expedients on record for
circumventing this snag-and most Of
them are justified by the end 10 view.
But there lie an end to all things, and the
end of expedients in this direction should
be on the higher side of the confidence
game applied TO the officiating clergy
man at a marriage ceremony.
We are panied to learn that it was
New Yorker who a week ago, tndiDg
himself burdened with an abundance OF
bride but az utter absence of cash, in

tive minister, and was duly welded.
Having secured a wife, the hesrtless
wretch gave the man who had given
hlm such happiness what in vulgar
psrlance is vsriously denominated a
''song and dance" and "the marble
heart" In place of fee he gave him a
good day. Cupid had fallen from his
high estate as the god of love to the low
occupation of stool pigeon in a coDfid-
ence operation.
It Is true that remorse is doing its
best to redeem the pact. The bridge
groom has iuet sent 80 cents to Hoboken
on account, and promises more. How
much mole, the clergyman must guess.
