The report recently submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior covering the
transactions of the general land Office
for the past year contains some inter
esting figures. According to this re-
port the vacant public lands of the
Government aggregate at the present
= time the enormous amount Of 591, ,348,
953 acres, scattered about over the
States of Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah, California, Colorado. Oregon.
North Dakota and Washington. Each
year the Government disposes of large
trActs of land to private individuals
and railway corporations, but on &C.
count of the vast area of territory GOV.
cred by the Governments unoccupied
domain, it will probably be many years
before this area is exhausted. As the
sterile and uninviting character OF
. some of the land renders it unfit fol
use or habitation, it is more than
likely that purchasers viii not be
found to relieve the Government Of
this part of its domain. Still the pro.
gress which scientific research is max
ing at the present time gives hope thai
even the most forbidding places may
yet be reclaimed to fertility and Guilt
vation. What is known as thereservet
territory of the Government embraces
1872, 441, TIA acres, and is not subject
to purchase. 1t is reserved for mill
tary and naval purposes, reservoir sites
timber lands and other needs which
may arise hereafter in the exigenciel

A farmer of Connecticut has just
recovered damages from the town of
New Brighton, in that State, because
the sewage of that town so polluted
stream flowing through his farm that
his COWS would not drink the water.
He was damaged, Of course, and ought
TO recover. SO is every one living
on or near stream and depending on
it for water supply damaged by the
pollution of the stream higher up in
its course. When it is made more
costly to turn sewage into a stream OF
running water than to treat 1t and
render it harmless on the land living
streams will cease to bepolluted, their
present double function of sewer and
water supply will be abandoned and
the, original purity of streams will
be jealously guarded. .-PhilAdelPhia

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The most easily digested meats are
cold mutton, mutton chops, venison,
sirloin, roast beef and chicken.
Green vegetables and good fruit
contain certain salts and acids which
may be called natures medicine.
A boon for vegetarians is peanut
butter, which surpasses the best dairy
butter in purity, and is found to be
especially we'll adapted for use in
gravies and for shortening. An ex-
tensive demand is expected.
Street lamps can be mounted on a
new telescopic post to make them easy

The aurora borealis, according to
the theory of Herr Gustav Wendt,
may be regarded rs an electrical
phenomena arising when oxygen and
other paramagnetic matter-or matter
assuming polarity under the influence
of the earth's magnetism-is continu-
ously drawn down from the higher re.
gions of the atmosphere, thus setting
up electric currents.
Medical authorities appear to be
becoming convinced of the efficacy of
alcohol, in the treatment of cancer.
1t is used in hypodermio injections,
and it's strength has been gradually
increased from ten per cent. solution
until the pure alcohol is often used.
The injections are repeated after five
to seven days. The cancer cells are
destroyed, the growth gradually be-
coming smaller, and finally leaving a
hard mass that may be ignored or cut
out.
floating scientific station was the
novel suggestion made to the inter
national geological congress by Pro-
fessor Andrussow. It would consist
of q ship fitted with apparatus and
laboratories for geological and biological
study Of the ocean bottom, and would
be kept constantly exploring the diff
ferent parts of the world, the expense
to be met by international contribu-
tions. The scheme was warmly APP
proved by DR.. John Murray and other
scientific leaders.
During the Zulu war DIR. George
Stoker observed that wounded natives
quickly recovered in mountainside
places to which they were carried.
This led him, on his return to Eng.
land, to experiment with oxygen as q
dressing for wounds, the result being
the establishment of home where
the oxygen treatment is carried out
The application is made by enclosing
the injured limb in a suitable case
which is kept charged that the gas,
The dressing irritates less than others
is stimulating and oxidizes bacteria
poisons.

That there is an honesty riring su-
perior to business avarice even in shis

enoe of Topeka sporting man. He
wrote tc cigarette company that he
had saved the pictures in 1900 pack

received an answer saying that the
company would give him coffin if he
would smoke as many more.

Says the New York Times: "The law
of supply and demand applies to the
Southern cotton industry as we'll as to
anything else. If tho acreage is too
great and the production consequently
greater than the mills require, low
prices are inevitable. Planters will do
better If they restrict their cotton
acreage and substitute other crops on
the rest of the land"

A veretnhIe HaIr Erterlnlnator.

The 'jumbal plant, which is found
on riyersides in tropical America, has
curious properties. Horses, if they
eat it, lose the hair from their names
and tails. When fed exclusively on
corn and grass they will recover, but
the new hair will be totally different
inscolor and texture from the old.
Ruminant animals are not thus af-
feeted, and its growth is actually en-
couraged as a fodder plant for cattle,
sheep and goats.

TWO BRIDES

III.
The Man who Loved the Soul Of Things
Went forth serene and glad,
And mused upon the mighty world,
And people called him mad.
An unseen presence walked with him
Forever by his side,
The welded mistress Of his soul
For Wisdom was his bride.
She showed him all this mighty frame.
And bade him feei-but named no name.
She stood with him upon the hills
Hinged by the azure sky,
And shamed his lowly thought with stars
And bade 1t climb az high.
And ali the birds he could not name,
The nameless stars that roll.
The unnamed blossoms at his feet
Talked with him soul to soul;
He heard the Nameless Glory speak
In silence-and was very meek

The Man who Loved the Names Of Things
Went forth beneath the skies,
And named all things that he beheld,
And people called him wise.
An unseen presence walked with him
Forever by his side,
The welded mistress OF his soul
For knowledge was his bride;
She named the flowers, the weeds, the trees
And all the growths OF all the seas.
She told him all the rocks by name,
The winds and whence they blew;
She told him how the seas were formed,
And how the mountains grew;
She numbered all the stars for him;
And ell the rounded skies
We're mapped and chartered for the gaze
OF his devouring eyes.
Thus, taught by her, he taught the crowd
They praised-and he was very proud.

Death Of an Old Citizen.

After a lingering illness, Mr..
Moses Campbell died at his home
near Whiteville, Sunday, May sth.,
1898, of dropsy, at the age of
70 years. His remains were buried
in the old Bethlehem graveyard, in
District No. 5, Monday afternoon.
The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. w. M. Norment. A large
number of sorrowing friends were
present to pay the last sad rites to
the memory of a good man.
Moses Campbell was born July,
1927, in Franklin County, Tenn,
near Winchester. He moved with
his fathers family to Hardeman
County at an early day, settling in
District No. 5, where the most of
his life was spent. He successfully
followed agricultural pursuits. For
a number of years he s~ryed as mag
istrate from his district. He was a
man of intelligence and sound judg-
ment, and his decisions were seldom
if ever revoked. About eight years
ago he removed to Whiteville.
Mr.. Campbell was one of the most
honorable citizens of our Coun.
ty. He had the respect, confidence
and love of all who knew him. He
was a consistent member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
and also belonged to the Masonic
fraternity. The BULLETIN extends
