Trouble Was Not Deep.
Washington, July 14.-Herr Rose, the
German ex-consul general to Samoa, who
is passing through the city en- route TO
Germany, paid his respects to the Presi-

tary Hay. Herr Rose has just returned
from Samoa.
He says that the friction alleged to have
existed in Samoa between the Germans,
on the one hand, and the Americans and
British on the other, was very much ex-
aggerated. But every vestige of friction,
he says, disappeared with the appearance
of the commissioners representing the par
ties to the tripartite agreement. The ar
rangement they made, he thinks, prom
ises to be perfectly satisfactory.

NoURIsHMENT In WATER.-Water
itself is one of the essentials of life.
1t constitutes more than half the
weight of the human body, being nee.
essary to the formation of the solid
and even dry parts of it. So, though
we don't generally think of it as food
it certainly is so. Absolutely pure
water does not, of course, contain any
thing in the way of nourishment; but,
unless artificially prepared, as by dis
tilling, water never is absolutely pure
It dissolves things so easily that in
passing through the earth before ap'
pearing as springs, or flowing down ip
rivers, it always gets some substance OF
other in solution. The most frequent
of these impurities is carbonate OF
lime, causing what we all know so well
as hard water. This lime is very use'
full to us as food, for we require it to
build up our teeth and bones. Iron or
sulphur are often present in water
serving as natural tonics. Food, how
ever, in the ordinary sense of the word
cannot be contained in water. Any
animal or vegetable matter which il
acquires in its course, even the slight
est trace, being liable to decomposi'
ton, and thus becoming most poison
Gus and deadly.

WORMS WITHOUT DIGGING-Hunt-
ing for worms, and firing yourself dig
ging for them, is work that is not ad-
mired. The young fishermen will
thank us for describing plan by which
worms can be secured without digging
for them. Take strong stick, four
or FIVE feet long, and sharp at one end,
and 60 to some locality, such as the
back of barn, where the worms are
sure to be plentiful. Drive the stick
four or five inches into the ground
with a hammer or stone, and then
begin to twist it with rotary motion.
Every few minutes hit the top rap
to drive the point farther into the
ground, and keep on twisting. In five
minutes the worms will begin crawling
out of their holes, and all you have to
do is to pick them up and put them in
your can. They hear the grinding,
and think it is a mole after them, and
know that only on the surface are
they safe. So they come out, those
nearest to the sound making their ap-
pearance first, with every evidence of
haste and trepidation. Sometimes
they come up for distbnce of 10 or Is
feet from the twirling stick, and in
places where they are plentiful, as
many as a hundred can be literally
scared out of the ground in this man.
ner. Some people think worm has
no sense, and they may be right in
general, but a worm knows that a
mole is its deadliest enemy, and will
come squirming to the top of the
ground any time it hears mole COM
ing in its direction.

DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH POLE
The practical advantage to be derived
would be little or none. The hope oi
finding a northwest passage" has
long since disappeared and even un'
der the most favorable circumstances
no fresh highway world be opened for
commerce. Some additional knowledge
of ocean currents and Polar seas
would be gained but though other
explorers and scientists might hereafter
follow the same track, the gain would
be to science, and not to commerce.
Scientific information we might most
certainly expect, though some well
qualified to judge are of opinion that
the gains to science would be slight
compared with the risks run to obtain
them. These are the main advantages
to be gained; of their value every one
is at liberty to hold his own opinion.

ABOUT THE CENSUS.
Senators Tillman and McLaurin Looking AT
ter the Matter.

Senators I1llman anu hcLaurln Looking Al
ter the Matter.
Columbia State, Wednesday.
Senators Tillman and McLaurir
spent last night in the city. The sen
ior senator, as is his custom, went tt
the home of Captain Bunch, while Mr.
McLaurin registered at the Columbia
They were found together at tea a.
Captain Bunch's last night.
Senator Tillman laughingly said tha
he thought it strange that he was bese
by newspaper men every time he came
to Columbia. His visit has no specia
significance, he stated, for be will leave
this morning for Florence. The object
of his visit to that section is to study
the culture of tobacco.
Senator Tillman and number of his
neighbors at Trenton have dubbed to-
gether to experiment with tobacco
planting and culture, and he is now
looking into the matter for the club
About so or 60 acres will be planted
this season.
When questioned about his meeting
with Mr.. McLaurin, Senator Tillman
said that it was merely incidental
Senator McLaurin was coming to Co.
lumbia, and they agreed to meet and
discuss the outlook in regard to the
appointments of census officials. The
census taking will not begin until July
of next year, but there are even now
many applicants for these positions.
As has already been stated there will
be six districts, each in charge of q
director, and for every community
whose estimated population is 1000
there will be an enumerator. The Gen.
sus director general, Mr.. Merriam, is a
Republican. He will not select his as
sistants by civil service examination
but will appoint "business men," The
Democrats of this state demand some
consideration in the division of "pie, "
and may be able to get some of the ap-
pointments, although it is stated that
Mr.. E. A. Webster, the Republican
grand master of the state, wants every
thing for his side.
Senators Tillman and McLaurin had
meeting sometime subsequent to that
one which was not held at Wright's
hotel few weeks ago, when only four
of the delegation were present. "Mc-
Laurin came to my house and founder
ed himself and had such case Of
cramp collie or cholera morbus that we
were not able to discuss the matter at
that time" said Senator TiHman.
His plan is for the South Carolina
congressional delegation to nominate
those who are best fitted for the sew
eral places to be parcelled out in this
state. If Director Merriam sees fit, be
can appoint the Democratic nominees.
The Democrats have no "say So. "
They can demand nothing.
Senator Tillman's private secretary,
Mr.. Stackhouse, has recently received
an appointment as assistant paymaster
in the navy. Senator Tillman said last
night that he had promised his son,
Mr.. B. R. Tillman, Jr., to make him
his private secretary, if he would tit
himself for the place.
Senator McLaurin seems to have en-
tirely recovered from his spell of collie.
He was looking quite well last night.
He had nothing to say in addition to
the statements made by Senator Till
man.
