Like Father Like Sons.

There is an uptown family, consisting
of a father, two sons and a daughter,
all of whom, as a result Of trifiing ae-
cidents, can boast of three scars each,
and these scars are located on identical
portions of the body. One day some
years ago the father put his hand ae-
cidentally through glass show case,
leaving a scar on his wrist. At another
time he f II and cut his upper lip
against sharp projection, leaving a
scar. A little later he cut the back OF
his head, leaving scar on his scalp
In the course of time a family of two
boys and a girl arrived on the scene
and they ali INDUCED in the mishaps
that usually come to healthy children.
The other day round-upof the family
scars was held, and to the surprise OF
all, each had the same number Of scars
and the locations were Identical. d
course, this was all mere eoinei

Worry Stops Digestion.

The cat has served to teach mankind
an alLimportant lesson concerning the
working Of the stomach. The y rays
directed upon cats stomach have de
monstrated that any irritation or dis
agreeable nervous excitement arrests
the process of digestion. DIR. Fritz
Lange, of Munich, who makes special
study of the stomach, performed a
series of experiments, which resulted
in this interesting discovery. After the
cat had eaten, the y rays were turned
on, and Dr. Lange watched the animals
stomach through fiuorescent screen.
Then ne irritated the cat by placing a
live mouse just beyond its reach. DR..
Lange was able to observe that diges-
ton was absolutely interrupted by the
irritation of the animal. Briefly stated,
the lesson for man is: Don't let any
thing bother or interrupt your dinner.

One Of the unsnng heroes of the war,
says r. ID. Cramer, In Atlanta Constitn-
tion, was A. w. Lyman, Of New York,
who was in charge Of the Associated
Press headquarters at SibOney, and
stuck at his post until he was sent home
to die.
He had a remarkable adventure while
on duty, which is well worth telling
One day convaIescent soldier stole
his hat, and he bought another from an
insurgent. Ii was a typical piece ofna-
tive Cuban headgear, with brim a
yard wide.
That night, as Lyman was returning
to his tent, a guard on the picket line
espied him.
"Hey there, Cubanop' shouted the
guard, you're inside the lines. Go
backr' He saw the hat, but it was too
dark to make out the features Of the
wearer.
Lyman walked calmly on, oblivioas
to the hail.
.'Go back there, Cubano,'' yelled the
guard, lifting his gun, "or I'll shoot. F"
Still ignorant of his danger and with
no thought that the angry call was
meant for him, Lyman proceeded on
his way. Then the Krag Jorgensen
went of and 50 did the big hat.
"Whoa-opw exclaimed Lyman, COM
ing to a dead halt. Who did that ?"
~ did," replied the guard, who came
rushing up. al saw that hat, and |
yelled to you to stop. Amt you an in
surgent?"
"No," said Lyman, picking up the
hat with a hole through the crown,
'Pm not. Pm a newspaper man.
Who the devil are you ?p
"Pm guard from the First Cavalry" F"
'Volunteer ?"
ayes"
"I'm glad of that"-looking carefully
at the hole. 'If you'd been regular
you'd probably have got me. Good
night"
And with as little concern as though
he had been stopped by friend on the
street, Lyman passed on to his tent.

A City Set on a Hill.

The town of Ithaca overlOOks a great
extent Of country, as well as the waters
of Cayuga lake, which is about forty
miles long. In approaching the town
one of the railroads makes many turns,
and this fact has given rise 10 an
amusing story
A stranger, coming to Ithaca by rail,
caught sight of the city set on hill in
the distance and asked fellow pas
senger. "What city is that ,"
Ithaca" the other responded.
In few moments the city disappear
ed from a view and after awhile APP
peared again, but, as il seemed to the
stranger, in a different direction, the
railroad having made curve.
"What city is that?n he asked again.
THAT is Ithaca"
Once more the place disappeared and
in due time came into view again. ap-
parently somewhere else.
"What city is that ?n he asked again.
THAT is Ithaca"
The stranger gave whistle and look
ed imploringly around the horizon
"Where, for goodness sake, said he
amt Ithaca ?''- Youths Companion

Bees in a Camera.

Iy camera, which, when not in use, Is
kept in third-story room Of his home.
For over week past Mr.. Lyttons has
been too busy otherwise to take pic
lures, but one morning recently he de
cided to go out and secure some views
When he picked up his camera he was
surprised to see half a dozen bees flying
about it. AS he proceeded through the
room with the camera in his hand a
whole army of the insects came in q
line out of a small opening in the black
bOx cover. Then the owner placed the
camera on 3 table and started an inves-
tigation, which he gave up when the
truth flashed upon him that a swarm
Of bees, which had come in through the
open window, had made a hive out OF
the camera. The bees have been dis
missed as tenants, but the concern will
have TO be overhauled before any more
views can be taken.

Yankee Brag.

Apropos of the proposed "ADglo-Am-
erican Alliance" the story Of Horace
Greeley's neat rebuke of the English
man who once agreed with him too lit
orally may be worth telling. Mr.. Gree
ley, says the Youths Companion, was
discussing. in general company, the
faults and needs of his own nation.
"What this country needs" said he,
in his piping voice and Yankee accent,
sis real good lickingP'
1t happened that there was an Eng
lishman present, and he promptly said,
with unmistakable English accent:
"Quite right, Mr.. Greeley, quite right
The country needs licking"
But Mr.. Greeley, without glancing in
the Englishman's direction, OF seem
ing to pay any attention to the inter
ruption, went on in the same squeaky
tone:
"But the trouble is, there's no nation
that can give it to usF'

Brigadier General Ovenshine advanced
to-day from San Pedro Mscati and swept
through the country south Of Manila
as far as Psranaque. The rebels in this
territory have been very threatening and
have caused the troops ON the south
much concern, firing having been kept
up day and night. This is the first ad-
vance south OF Manila for some time.
The Americans lost two officers killed
and twenty one soldiers wounded. The
insurgents resisted desperately at the
stronger Of their positions, and left fifty
dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded we're left behind by the insur-
gents ia their retreat.
During the march Americans were
prostrated on all sides owing TO lack OF
water and exposure to the sun 1t is esti-
mated that 40 per cent. Of the troops were
exhausted.

the applieatians are heavy. IL may at
times be noticed that small quantities
Of fertilizer were a. beneficial as larger
quantities on other plots and on the
same kind Of crop. This result Is due
to the fact that portion Of the fer
tilizer was not dissolved on those plots
where heavy applications were made,
but the proportion remaining in the
soil will he Of service tho succeeding
season.
The effect Of clearing away the for
ests is damaging to crops, not that the
presence of forests causes rainfall, but
because they regulate she How Of water.
There is less evaporation nearer forests
and the water does not How away 50
rapidly, nor cause streams to overflow
al some periods, while dry at others.
The trees serve rs wind-brakes, thus
preventing the drying OF the soil by
warm winds during periods Of drought.
One Of the expenses borne by those
who keep large tlocks Of fowls is for the
extra number OF young cOekerels in
summer. AS rule, all male birds sent
to market after the combs have devel-
0ped are designated as "old rOosters"
although they may not be over six
months old, and they seldom bring
over six cents per pound in market.
The time to sell the eOckerels at this
season is when they weigh about two
pounds each. If retained from now ON
they will not be more valuable, as the
prices decline faster than the birds in
crease in weight. 1t is more eeonomi-
cal to sell now and thus lessen the sup
ply OF food, as well rs also gain more
room in the poultry yard.

that state to it's senses, in a
measure, at least, and a joint
resolution favoring the cleo

vote of the people, has been
passed by that collective
body. We have often said
that education by experience
accomplishes better results
than aught else, and it is so
in this instance. That legis-
lature never entertained the
idea of electing these lmpor-
tant officers by a direct vote
Of the people until its mem
bers were brought face to
face with the evil effects of
delegated power. The con-
stitution ought to be amend

people in electing congress-
