Southern Pine Company VIII I'M
prove Its Recent Purchase.
Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 18.-The Southern
Pine Lumber Company of Savannah and
Brunswick have petitioned the city coun-
Gil for leave to build and extensively inn
prove their recent purchase of dock prop
erty. This purchase included five water
front lots on Bay street and the Cook
saw and planning MILL Sixteen thousand
dollars cash was invested. The improve
ments will cost about $4,000 additional
The water front is one of the best on
the coast and ample to accommodate six
deep-draught vessels at one time.
The Plant systems water front improve
ments have met with some opposition from
New Town citizens. This opposition is
due entirely to a misunderstanding. The
New Town residents believed that the
Plant system intended to close up the
foot of each street in New Town with
their docks. Such action would deprive q
large number of residents boat room privi-
leges they now enjoy Attorney Kay, for the
Plant system, says 1t is not intended to
close up all the streets, and there will be
such places left open for the residents as
they decide upon.

Among the centenarians of the
world-so far as statistics have been
compiled women predominant, al
most as two to one. The United States
census Of 1890 gives 1881 persons OF
100 years of age or more, of whom
1898 were men and 1888 wonaon. A
census of centenarians taken in
France, in 1895, gives 213 persons OF
100 years and over, of whom lat were
women and &c men. In London, the
census of 1891 shows 81 centenarians,
five men and sixteen women. The ex-
PLANTATION in all probability is that
women do not engage in such hazard.
Gus work or pleasures as men; while
they do not often risk life nd limb in
perilous occupations, neither do they
guzzle beer half the night, nor smoke
cigars all the day. When they can
they take better care of their bodies.

Professor Mikulicz of Breslau, when
performing operations has found it
best to use fine thread gloves which
are made aseptic in steam in the sam Q
way as surgical bandages. "Of
COURSE says the Argonaut, "the
hands are washed and disinfected in
the usual manner before the gloves
are put on. The gloves have to be
changed several times during long op-
srations; they are worn by the assist
ants as we'll. Professor Mikulicz de-
clares that none of the manipulations
are rendered awkward or difficult, and
that, on the contrary, it is easier to
take and keep hold Of tissues in gloves
than with the bare hand. He further
recommends the use of respirator of
sterilized muslin, in order to avoid
danger from mouth bacteria"

Gently for over-charging guests, gave

He received no wages and was charged

The Biggest Passenger-Ship.

The biggest passenger-ship in ex-
istence is the new North German
Lloydli liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
marine monster, an eighth of a mile
long (648 feet, to be accurately, sixty
six feet wide, forty-three feet deep,
and of tonnage of $4,000. All her
details and dimensions are Brobding-
nagian. She can carry 1920 passen-
gers, besides her crew of $50.
Her engines are expected to develop
$4,000 horsepower, and her cost is
estimated to have been about two
million dollars. She is so much big
ger than the other big liners, and has
