FINISHING TOUCHES.
Texas Legislature Not Very Far
from Adjournment Now.
ONE BILL LACKING.
That + the General Appropriation and
Compromise Has Been Effected
on That Measure Which
VIII Bc Accepted.

Austin. May al.-There is n slight
chance that the legislature will adjourn
before the end Of the week The only
thing holding il together is final disposi-
ton Of the general appropriation bill
and that Is in fair way to be settled in
day or 30.
The free conference committee on the
appropriation bill held their final meet
ing, and the senate contingent accepted
the compromise proposition. fixing the
appropriation for the university at So
600 and for the state rangers at $50 900
The deaf and dumb asylum appropri-
alton also entered into the compromise
agreement. the senate conceding 20 the
house committee the appropriation for
a dormitory for that institution to cost
$4,000
The university compromise Is a con-
cession Of So. 900 by the senate against
an advance of 5000 and recession Of
$l0. 900 by the senate on the ranger item
against an advance Of 5000 by the
house.
In connection with this adjustment
the items Of difference on salaries Of
-ome few remaining clerks of the de-
partments were finally fixed by splitting
the difference Taking them all down
the line the recessions were in favo, Of
the house and it is the prevailing opin-
ion that the work Of the committee will
be promptly adopted
The salaries most affected were those
Of clerks Of the school land department
and the treasury department which
We're slightly advanced over the house
bill. the aggregate advance in all sala-
, ries not amounting 10 more than $1,000.
: The salary of the chief clerk Of the
, treasury department was placed at $3.50
which is small enough, when IL Is con
sidered that the responsibility Of the
Office Is greater than that Of any bank
, cashier in the state.
The partial footing mp Of the totals of
the appropriation bill as passed by the
house and the bill as amended by th,
j. free conference committee shows that
the latter isfrom $50, 900 to s15, 900 lower
than than the former in It's total
In the senate the Grubbs industrial

serate:

THE TRACING OF SUICIDE.
Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has an
 Injurious Effect.

Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has an
 Injurious Effect.
 Dr. Haig is of the opinion that sui eide may be traced to error in diet, the error being the eating of meat, the drinking of beer and of tea and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in SUD- port of his hypothesis. Are there not more suicides among men than among women, and do not men consume more meat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than in Scotland, not apparently because the Scotch are a more canny race, but be- cause the English eat more meat and drink more beer, while the Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky instead of beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, 1t was perhaps hardly polite, when ad- dressing a Scotch audience, to go on to say that suicide increased with ciViliza- tion. But the fact was explained on the ground of more injurious diet, that of civilized man being more productive of uric acid and thus of suicide than that which prevails where civilization is less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, accord ing to Dr. Haig, the incidence of sui eide tal1ies with the daily, annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant, namely, in the morn- ings, in spring and summer and in childhood and the full prime of life.
 We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsible for much, and, among other things, for certain number of suicides; nay, we would go further and admit that unsuitable diet, derange- ment of the proper relation between nutrition and waste and the conse- quent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of me- tabolism have much to do with that ill-temper and discomfort which lead men to lay their hands violently upon their neighbors and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peceant material is in all cases the same, and still further are we from being agreed that uric acid is the origin of the evil.

New Cure for Alcoholism.

Now that the Keeley gold cure is on the way to join the Keeley motor, there is room for the new Russian remedy for alcoholism which Michael George witch Alaverdoff is introducing into England. His remedy is a secret herb found in certain parts of Russia. A deeper mystery enshrouds his recipe from the fact that it calls for 36 per cent. of spirits of wine and GA per cent. of distilled water, in addition to the herb! The first thing that the patient must do is to get thoroughly drunk over night. Scotch whisky is reeom- mended for this. When he wakes in the morning with a dark-brown taste in his mouth he is given a small glass containing the panaeea, which is not noticed. After three days the patient can go his way, and will not wish to drink again, and even if he does-so says M. Alaverdoff, it will immediately make him "womit."

Thunder and Lightning.

It is said that lightning may be rec ognized at a distance of 200 miles when the clouds among which it plays are at a high altitude, but thunder can sell dom be heard at a greater distance than ten miles. The sound of thun- der is also subject to refraction by layers of different density in the atmos- phere, as well as to the effects of |" sound shadows" produced by hills and other interposed objects. These are among the reasons for the existence of the so-calIed sheet" or ssummer' lightning, which seems to be unattend- ed by thunder.

Powered Superstition.

Students of architecture have often wondered why the two towers of Notre Dame are not of equal size. though they appear so to the casual observer. A writer in one of the recent English magazines has found the explanation, which is rather curious. It appears that when the cathedral was built the cathedral of suffragan bishop was not entitled to two towers of equal size, and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.

Russian RcttIe Songs.

Russian battle songs are written in minor keys and instead of being bril- liantly martial are sad, telling of the soldiers fate. The Turks have no war songs except those they have translated from other tongues. Ger many has much military music and that those in power appreciate the in fuenee music has ou soldiers is shown by the fact that the German army con- tains 10000 musicians.
