New Orleans La, Sept. 13.-The an- nouncemcnt of the ninth case of yellow fever dn New Orleans, including the Gelpi deaItf, wats officially made by the board of heailth late this afternoon. It is probable tIhst later tonight another the serious suspicious cases now under Invest gatfon. The ninth case is Edward NcGinty, a young man living inmsdi- ately opposite residence up town vaIling alt Ocean Springs. McGarity had been a visitor Ito the family during tlpeir residence on the Mississippi coast and since their return to the city had been am oocaefonal visitor.

They anticipated there would be other sporadic cases ow- ing to the number of people who man. aged to reach New Or.eans before the quarantine against Oesan Springs want into effective operation. There is more confidence on the part of the board in their ability to restrict each sporadic case and the only result of this news is to redouble the labor of the sanitary forces of the board.

Tea From Alfalfa Leaves.

Says a Denver paper Of a recent
date:
I'VE have been using alfalfa for years
as par excellence In animal dietary but
have never thought of it as an article
of human consumption. Still it has
great value in this way and this fact is
bound to be duly appreciated one of
these days all over Colorado and the
West. Major Du Bois, of the Du Bois
breeding farm near Denver, has made
the rather startling discovery that as a
substitute for the finest brands of Japan
tea on the table alfalfa leaves, properly
picked and cured, have no equal and the
imitation is so natural that the most
inveterate tea drinkers who have sat at
his hospitable board have not been able
to detect it.
I'm selecting the leaves of alfalfa for
tea only the more tender, those Of the
first growth, should be chosen. They
should be dried for day or two in the
sun, in pans or spread on sheets, then
placed in boxes or canisters and thus
kept until needed. 1t is cooked and
served the same as store tea. Its con-
tinuous use proves great benefit to the
human system as it serves as sort of
tonic and corrective and will keep one
in state of splendid health"

How to Influence Non-Church-
gOers.
If you can make people believe that
they are welcome in Gods house it is
not hard to induced them to come; and
if you make the service attractive to
them there is no trouble to hold them.
The old gospel has never had such
power over men as it has to-day, and
what we want is Bible-teaching. Plenty
of illustrations to make the truths
practical and everyday, and fearless
application of them, will always be eff.
fectual anywhere. What men want is
to be preached to, not over. A minister
was complaining to an actor that while
his sermons were true they lad less ef-
feet upon his hearers than the actors
impersonations over his hearers. The
reply was true. You preach truth as
though it we're felton," said the actor;
II act fiction as though it were truth. !"

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.
0saattns0s Substance spread on 0alvsn.
lsed Iron Web.


Ised Iron Web.
The first successful substitute for
glass" says an architect in the WASH
ington Times, 'is tectorium, gelatin
Gus composition. 1t has not appeared
in this country at all, as yet, but is
being introduced in Europe.
This gelatinous substance is given
rigidity by being spread on u galvan-
lied iron web, which holds the sheet
in any desired shape, but docs not OBJ
struct the passage of light. 1t is trans
lucent, but not transparent, and can be
stained in such q manner as to exactly
initiate stained glass.
"It cannot be broken nor softened by
the rays of the sun, but Is flexible and
easily bent into any desired shape.
When unstained 1t at first is yellow,
but on exposure to the sun it turns
white, at the same time becoming hard
er and more durable.
Like glass, it Is a poor conductor of
heat. 1t is lighter than glass, and on
this account is well adapted for roofs.
Unless it can be made transparent it
can never hope to entirely supersede
glass, but It's cheapness and su-
per;ority to glass in other direc-
tions are securing for it extensive sales
for factory windows, skylights for hot
houses, roofing and like purposes"
