Washington. May S.-Senator Deboe's call at the white house today was for tha purpose of urging the president to ap- point pr. Hunter, of Kentucky tosa lead ing foreign mission, probably Chilli. Dr. Hunter was for some time leading candi- date in the recent Kentucky senatorial contest, finally giving place to MT. De- boe. The president spoke in high terms of pr.

Cancer Il G
 N N4s..-. 4- s.-.sz-- tsa Can.be.Cllred.

It is very often that, the most insig- nificant symptoms are forcrunners of the most violent disease. There is not a more destr uctive disease than Cancer, and in a. majority of cases it is first indicated by a very small pirn- pie or sore, to which no attention is attracted, until it before long develops into the most alarming conditions.
 Here is aIpther case where the first symptoms of a most violent Cancer were too small to receive much notice until the disease had fully developed. Mrs. Laura E. Mims has resided at SmithvIlle, Georgia, for years, andis well known throughout the adjoining country. In a recent letter she tells of wonderful case.
 She says: "A small pin1ple of a strawberry color appeared on my cheek; it soon charged to purple, and began to grow rapidly. notwithstand- ing all efforts to check it, until it was the size of partridge egg. My eye became terribly inflamed, and was so swollen, that for quite while I could not see. The doctors said had Cam

INTEREST IN EDUCATION Seems To Have Been Awakened
 Over the State. SOME EXCELLENT REPORTS or Managers of the Alabama Ed ati I Association Birmingham Sends on
 ster Roll of New Members.

The Alabama Educational associa ton meets in Talladega, Ala, June 21 to 24
 Principal J. B. Cunningham, -las.44i.n of the executive committee, has taken every means possible to interest the teachers of the state in this meeting and in the plan of state organization that it is expected will be perfected then.
 "A county manager has been appointed in each county of the state. thirty-nine of whom promise to do active and vigor- otis work. The remaining counties have made no response--this eyideRcing 60 a large degree the interest taken in prog uess in education by the teachers in those counties.
 Managers have also been appointed in fourteen cities of the sta Q. All of these accepted, and will doubtless do good work for the Alabama Educational asso- ciation and through the association to- ward perfecting the organiza ion of the state for an educational campaign dur ing the next two years.
 Several of the cOuClty and city manag- CTS have reported success in arousing in- terest and securing membership to fhe association.
 Dr. J. H. Phillips, manager for .Bir- mingham, presented the case so accept albly to the teachers of this city that ffty-cwo of the corps became members at the meeting yesterday at the High school, When the fact is known that for ga years the teachers of Birmingham have lost one mon:h's salary yearly, coupled with the uncertainty in the inn mediate future, this loyalty of our teach CTS to educational progress in Alabama marks them as ccnspieuously earnest, progressive and broad in interest.

QUEEN VICTORIA.


 How the Greatest Queen on Earth Pre-
 serves Her Health.
 The Queen of England, who is also the Empress of India, has already attained to healthy old age. The subect of her logevity is of the greatest anxiety and consequence to her subjects. The utmost care is being takenfto prolong her life for many years yet though she Is already much in excess of seventy. The greatest danger that threatens persons of her age are ailments brought about by exposure to cold and changeabi= temperature, ail- ments that affect the mucous membranes in yauious Farts of, the body, especially the throat and lungs. To avoid change abe temperature the mighty queen, gov erned by the advice. of her physicians, spends several months of every winter away from England, and seeks the mild climate of Italy. This precaution, no doubt, Is very wise, Tor the queen contin- ues in splepdid health.
 But people who are not so fortunately situated as the great Victoria cannot hunt mflder clifres in he winter and changab1e sprng, must face weather as 1t comes. The consequence is that many thousands of-then- contract colds during such period of exposure. Colds are in- fiRmnlation of the mucous membra nes, and may, occur in different parts of the body. When colds become chronic they are termed catarrh-a much dreaded ailment.
 Pe-rzl-na is. the only internal remedial agent that is reliable cure for catarrh. It is of great importance that every suf- fea,er. rom CatarTh Should duly take note of this fact. This knowledge is most valuable. iPe-ru-na has cured thousands and will continue to cure thousands un- til some better remedy can be devised.

When informed that my father had died from the same disease, they said must die, as hered- itary Cancer was incurab1e. I was terribly reduced in health. and felt as if my life was was ting away.
 At this crisis, was advised by friend to try s. 8. s., and in short while the Cancer seemed more in. famed than before. was informed that was favorable, however, as the medicine acts by forcing out the poison through the pores of the skin.
 Before long the Cancer began to discharge and continued to do so for three months; then it began to heal. continued the medicine a while longer, until the Cancer disap- peared entirely. and I enjoyed better health than ever before. This has been several years ago and there has not been a sign of a return of the disease" y."a
 Cancer is becoming alarmingly prevalent, and manifests itself in such a variety of forms, that any sore or scab, it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and disappear may well be regarded with suspicion. .....,-.. s.... ,-...

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
George w. Elstun. residing on Gllpin av-
enue, Walnut HIS, has a curiosity 10 ex-
hibit In the way Of two parrot eggs which
his pet poll laid a few days ago. That
this is remarkable rarity h evidenced
by the fact that none OF the bird fan
ciers Of the city have seen such eggs. and
some Of them are even inclined TO dispute
the fact that the product Is the real
thing. Mr.. Elstun vouches for their abb

SNAIL FARMING AN INDUSTRY.
Artificial Culture Carried on In
France For the Market.
From Nature

Snail farming forms a peculiar branch
of agricultural industry in France ana
other countries. and the consumption Of
them in France Is very large. Edible
snails vary greatly IN size; the large white
ones are the real cscargot. but this term
is usually employed TO designate all edi-
bic snails adapted to table purposes. But
In the markets, besides escargot there
are two other varieties, known as limace
and llmacon. the former being Of medium
size, and the latter quite small ThOugh
the great majority OF the edible snails
produced IN France are OF natural growth,
their artificial culture Is carried on 10 u
very considerable extent. They are prop.
agated from August 10 October IN ground
especially prepared for the purpose. and
fed with cabbage, clover, etc.
During the winter they are sheltered In
houses composed Of brick or wood ana
they are gathered and marketed from
April 10 June Ia the Tyrol from june 20
the middle Of August the snails are coll

In this feeding ground are little heaps OF

GERMAN SMOKE CATCHER.
New Invention Which Appears to he
"A Good Fire Preventive.
From the Phlladelphla Record.


An important invention was recently
patented by ". Pasler and p. Hage-
mann. OF Stettin. Germany. II Is a spark
catcher, which is placed into the smoke
stacks of locomotives, factories, steamers
and into chimneys where there Is danger
OF fire. The idea upon which the new
invention Is based Is rather simple. The
column Of smoke and steam rising in the
stack Is sfted through a system Of tubu-
lar sleeves. There are two Of these sleeves
"A little distance from each other, the up-
per one Of which may be lowered or
raised IN order 10 obtain the best results.
The two sleeves are built very much alike.
the only difference being that the tubes
are not directly above each other but dis
tant from each other by one-half the di-
ameter OF the tubes BY this arrange
mont the tubes are placed IN such a way
that directly above the mouth Of each low
er tube there g. a space between the
tubes called a blind pocket" IN the up
por sieve, while above the closed space on
the lower set there D. a tube leading out
IN the upper. The forced draft throws up
the glowing sparks straight through the
lower set OF tubes and while smoke ana
steam will readily devlate from their
straight course in order to pass out the
tubes Of the upper sieve, the heavier
sparks are thrown into the blind pockets.
where they are naturally extinguished.
The particles Of sun glowing coal ana
the extlnRuished sparks are collected In
a receptacle on the smokestack, which Il
cleaner out from time 10 time. Even when
an engine is running under forced draft.
and when the burning embers are carried
out by the steam with great force they
are harmless. for N they do get through
the tubular sieve az all they only come
through extinct Since the distance, be-
tween the two sleeves can be regulated. it
n possible 60 use any fuel with This spark
catcher. a feature which inaurcs its pop
ulnrlty.
