And still this is an ideal place for pres
idential vacation. Mr.. Mckinley does not
like 20 change, and II is not improbable
that next summer will find him where he
IS now. Here he is away from the office

the most Imperative mail be forwarded to
him. and all the surroundings are CT

Let me give you some of the pictures
upon which the president IS now looking
to rest his soul. His quarters are in the
annex OF the hotel with windows giving
views of the lake and mountains. out IN
front OF him there is dense forest Of
dark green pines. through which the
breezes from the Green mountains OF YER
mont rush after their flight across the
lake in order that they may be perfumed
with life giving balsam before they kiss
the Presidents lips. beyond the pines
lies Lake Champlain, its CLASSY surface
lightly rippled by the breeze and painted
with golden waveiets by the setting sun.
A long chain OF pretty islands lies like

The record-union., 1897-11-17

Was the sense of this convention that
the Nicaragua Canal be constructed by
the Government, without the interven-
tion of any company whatever, and be
in the possession of the American peo-
pie and for their use for all time, and
that the Congressional delegation from
this State be asked to forward that ac-
tion as far as possible.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Resolutions, to come up

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
d. f. Fowler of Fresno, who has
charge of the University work of the
Farmers Institute, spoke of the bene-
fits to be derived from the Institutes if
the farmers will give their support and
attendance to them. They are held un-
der the auspices and direction of the
State University. This is an age of
activity, and the successful prosecution
of any line of business calls for the
highest degree of mental activity and
thorough acquaintance with it. The
farmer, on account of his isolated po-
sition. is placed at a disadvantage in
the race, and the institutes are carried
on for the purpose of aiding him. There
are over 200 students in the Agricul-
. tural Department of the State Univer-
sity, but all the farmers cannot go to
the university, and the institute has
been adopted as a means of bringing
them into contact with the information
thai will be of aid to them in the strug-
gle for a livelihood
Competition and other conditions are
against the farmer and fruit grower,
and it requires the best of skill to
make successful headway against them.
The university proposes to lend aid
in the matter, through the Institutes,
and he hoped all present would aid in
promoting them on their return home.

DANGER IN FRESH EGGS.
Fatal Spores Which Are Found Upon the
shells.

When, in the brave, UnSclentlhc days
of old. the tyrant got to think that the
sort of dinner to which he was accus-
TONED might be apt to disagree with
him very seriously. he took to dining
upon eggs, and he cooked the eggs
himself The repaSt might be frugal
one, but he could, at any rate, console
himself with the reflection that it
couldn't be toxic. That tyrant, if he
read the scientific journals, would know
better to-day. and. even if his hens
performed their Office in his presence.
would be careful TO wash the new
laid egg before he cooked it. For now
adays we have mycelium and the fatal
spore. When, but Yesterday, hundred
eggs were set" with experienced hens
to sit upon them, who never neglected
their duty for a moment, the result was
! bare score of chicks. On each un-
fruitful egg was presently remarked
Just the kind of smudge which has hith-
crto been held by connoisseurs to he
the surest outward and visible sign OF
the nearness of aN eggs laying. Sci
ence, however, decided that the smndge
meant mycelium, that the spore had
penetrated the eggshell, and had slain
the chick within. And science proved
its assertion by ocular evidence. Fur
Their, it showed that there was myceli-
UNI in the straw of the nests, that the
straw had got little damp. and that
the hen had failed to hatch the egg
because she had Matched the spore But
the spore will hatch just as well in the
ordinary temperature of a room, and,
once entire, does well within the hui
man. Hence the ablutiOnary process
in the case of smudged eggs Of the most
undoubted freshness is strongly recon-
mended.-pall Mall Gazette.

DISEASE GERMS ON MONEY.
A Serious Menace to the Public
Health.

>~-S~~~
Health.
Public attention has never been d.
rected in an adequate manner to the
dangers which exist i'll the careless
handling of money. Owing to its rap
idly circulating nature and to the many
uncleanly places in which it is con-
stantly being concealed and carried,
the coin of the realm possesses advan-
tages in the dissemination of infectious
diseases not inherent in any other OBJ
eCt of public utility. For this reason
il should be regarded as a possible
source of contagion at all times, and
should be handled with the most se-'
rous consideration. But instead of
applying sanitary or common-sense
methods to the necessarily numerous
personal contacts with the circulating
medium, the ma jority of people show
less discretion in its use than in any
other habit of life. Business men un-
consciously dampen their fingers i'll
their mouths when running through a
package of bills, passengers in the
street cars hold nickels in their lips,
and shoppers neglect cuts or abra-
sions on the fingers which touch quanti-
ties of change. Yet all of these foolish
oversight may prove as serious as the
careless handling of a tirearm. In both
cases the excuse is the same: Didn't
know it was loaded Recent expert
nients prove that practically all of the
older coins and bills in circulation are
thoroughly tainted with diseases OF
more or less malignant types. MOlds
ard fungi of numerous varieties; cocci,
which included all of the more deadly
notwithstanding germs, and bacilli of
several possibly dangerous kinds were
all found in few samples, while the
chance of detecting the organisms of
the greater number of the contagious
diseases was prevented by the condi-
tons of the experiment. More com
piete and extended tests would doubt
less have shown even more startling re-
suits, while the possibility of finding
the present state of the city's health.
was admitted blythe psychologists CON
Quoting the investigation.
This contaminated condition of the
money in circulation may well be con-
sidered one of the most serious men
aces to the public health. Yet few
simple and common sense precautions
will remove the greater part of the
danger. Clean the unscarred hands,
or gloves worn while shopping, ii
reasonable degree of care in holding
money, and above all an avoidance of
putting coins, bills, or fingers in the
mouth or on the lips while engaged in
commercial pursuits. are easy ways to
procure safety. With these simple
,Hethods of obtaining security ready at
hand the present widespread violations
of sanitation must result either from
profound ignorance or from an almost
criminal degree of carclessness.-Chi-

THE "CHRISTMAS FACE"



The christmas face" has become Il
distinctive feature of modern life-os
much so as the bicycle face" 1t makes
its appearance annually a few weeks
before the holidays. and gradually dis
appears toward spring. 1t can now be
seen on thousands of restless women
who wander anXiously up and down the
crowded streets, toiling from window
TO window, pushing their eager ways
into the dense knots of humanity and
staring with hungry eyes at the Christ
mas gifts displayed.
1t is seen in the Zig stores where the
shopper threads hcrweary way through
endless aisles and handles over the
huge piles of Christmas offerings in
search of something suitable"
1t takes weeks of riding through
crowded streets to acquire the bicycle
face" but the "Chrstmas face" usually
begins to assume fixed lines after two
days shopping, and atthe end of week
the earnest and energetic seeker after
bargains has developed look of any
ious, restless and painful expectancy
bordering on mild insanity.
The "Christmas face" is easily dis
tingushed. The eyes are never in re.
rose. They roll from side to side and
take on haunted, hungry look as they
peer into the shop windows and lay
bare the innermost secrets of bargain
counters. They rove over bewildering
acres of fancy work and shrink with
bloodshot terror as they gaze into the
seas of blue and green and yellow tart
works" displayed in the fake Christmas
stores. Often they light up with hope
full tenderness as they rest lovingly upon
some rare bit of artistic beauty in met
al, oil, or fabric. but quickly darken
with despair when the price ticket is
displayed.
The mouth assumes hardened eX-
preston. The lips are tightly drawn
into sour and Eternly bitter curves at
the corners. The lines of the cheeks are
sunlten, and the brows are heavy with
doubt, and deeply corrugated. The
chin is pushed out at an angle of about
20 degrees. and the entire countenance
bctokens varying shades of sicltening
anxiety, deferred hope and pathetic
martyrdom, all blended into a sort of
fixed and vacuous insanity Chicago

A great development is now going on In
the Coast Country of Texas, especially that
portion known as the "Diamond district"
This is section with Houston and Gal
weston at the north and south points of the
Diamond, the west side being bounded by
the Gulf, Colorado q Santa Fe Railroad and
the east side by Buffalo bayou, San Jacinto
bay and Galveston bay. Less than four
years ago this was great COW pasture be-
ing one of the richest grazing countries on
the face of the globe Only a few isolated
small farms existed, but they were produc-
ing phenomenal results, not only with the
southern staples of corn, cotton, oats and
sugar, but more particul rly with early
fruits and vegetables In fact it was demon
strated beyond any doubt that the net rev.
enue produced yearly from ten or twenty
acres would equal and in many cases ex-
coed that of the ordinary quarter section in
the north. People of all trades and profess
sions in the north were attracted toward
south Texas by the successful result of the
lettes at Galveston, which increased the
depth OF the water In that harbor to more
than twenty-seven feet, deep enough for the
largest vessels and the rapid advance Of
commercial prosperity in both Houston and
Galveston. These people were not slow to
see the agricultural possibilities in the Dia-
mond district above referred to, and the re-
suits of the past four years, depressing as
they had been financially speaking, had been
astounding. Houston has doubled her popu-
lation, Galveston has done nearly as well,
and the intermediate country is dotted
throughout the entire Diamond district with
hundreds of small farms in the higheststate
of cultivation. Railroad and water facilities
are ample and reasonable, and the inhab-
tants of that district are within an hours
ride of the two largest as well rs the Metro
politan cities of Texas. Within its borders
have grown the prosperous little cities Of
La Porte, Webster, Alvin, etc, which are
attracting the attention of the whole north.
The climatic and healthful conditions are all
that could be asked for, and it is expected
that within very few years it will be the
garden sNOt of the LInited Statns

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.


Sickness and Hunger.
THE present drought in India is one
of the most severe ever known" said
Mr.. Vincent /. Tissera recently.
II am from Ceylon and know what
the horrors of famine resulting from
drought are. Ten or II years ago the
Ceylonese were the victims of a COM
paratively mild water famine, but the
suffering l witnessed then wrung my
heart and can see as plain as though
were in the country the agony of the
starving Hindoos. The British papers
have not given the truth in its pitiful
completeness. and even though they did
all in their power to alleviate the pres
ent distress thousands must die of
starvation. Russia's proffered aid was
refused by the English for political rea-
sons. John Bull wants nothing done
that will augment the kindly feelings
of the Hindoos for the Russians. There
are 200,000,000 people and nearly all of
them are vegeterians. They believe it
sin to kill an animal and the result is
easily seen. No vegetation on which
they can subsist can escape the drought,
and pathetically sincere in their belief
of the teachings of Buddha, the poor,
ignorant people will starve rather than
prove unfaithful to this time honored
tenet of their religion and eat the flesh
of animals.
america has spent millions of dol
lars in sending and maintaining mis-
sionaries in India and !. as a Christian,
am thankful for it, but now is the time
when the Americans. and the churches
especially, can show that the love and
charity they have preached so many
years to my countrymen are not merely
subjects of discourse but real condi-
tons. Aid from America would do more
for the conversion of these people than
all the preaching that has been done in
all the years since missions were first
established in India. 1t is a charity
the ignorant could understand and
know and God knows how woefully they
are in need of it now.
