BALTIMORE SYMPHONY ORCHES-
TRA.-The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra,
in the seven years of its existence under
the able direction of Mr.. Ross Jungnickel
has gained an enviable reputation, which
places this organization among the list of
the first orchestras in this country
The sOloists selected for these concerts
will at once satisfy the most fastidious, as
II is not possible to secure greater artists.
Mr. Alexander Petschnikoff the famous
Russian violinist, bids fair to be the sensa-
ton of the season. In Europe he is regard
ed as the greatest of all the present day
violinists. Mr.. Mark Hamburg, the young
Slav pianist, Will be the soloist for the first
concert. He made his debut in this coun-
try last week in Boston, with the Sym
phony Orchestra, and has since played with
that orchestra in New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Although but twenty-one
years old, his technique is something amaz-
ing, and he at once ranks with the greatest
pianists OF the present age.
Miss Lenora Jackson, the young Ameri-
can violinist, is undoubtedly the greatest
woman violinist of the day, and her sue
cess in London and other European capt.
tails has been nothing less than phenome-
nal When II Is remembered that this re-
markable artist is scarcely out of her teens
and American besides, we have every
reason to be proud of our countrywoman.
Among the other noted soloists to appear
later ON are Mile. Frances Saville. prima
donna OF the Vienna Imperial Opera Com
pany and Grau Metropolitan Opera Com
ter Of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra,
and Mr.. s. M. Fabian, whose pianistic
qualifications are too well known locally to
call forth any further comment.

Charbon has been raging for
weeks in Southwestern Louisiana
and Southeastern Texas. DR.. Fol-
setter has been in the Texas char
bon field for nearly two weeks, in
vestigating and advising Under di-
rection of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Commission. Many hor-
ses, mules and cattle have already
died, and two men contracted the
disease and died, and one case di-
aghosed as charbon recovered. The
Importance Of burning carcasses
of animals dying from this disease
has never beeh fully realized, and
as a result the germs Of the dis
ease remain to become sctive and
viruleht as soon a. fsvoring condi-
tions of moisture and heat prevail.
The disease has prevailed in the
Louisiana coast country for . CEN
tury, probably, and hes now infec-
ted a large section west of the Sa-
bine. Rigorous measures ptescri-
bed by law, and vigorously execu-
ted will be required to eradicate
the disease. The spores of char
bon retain their vitality for 4 num-
Der of years, and are equally viru-
lent with the bacillae. They are,
in fact, the seeds from which the
bacillae spring, just as seeds of
higher orders Of vegetable life re-
produce the plants thereof. Infec-
ton in man usually takes place
through abrssions Of the skin,
though it may occur through in
halation or cont6tt with mucous
surfaces. Great care, consequent
ly, should be exercised in han
ding affected snimals or their car
casses.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

There is q mistaken idea about
the why's Of cultivating crops pre-
valent among farmers. Many far
mers will tell us that cultivation
makes crops grow" that the stir
ring of the soil has some mysteri-
GUS influence on crops that NOR
tails do not understand. II has
been tersely stated that cultivation
has but two objects-''to destroy
weeds and conserve moisture" "
This may be boiled down still fur
ther. The'object of cultivation is
to preserve moisture and plant
food. In fact, it may be ultimate
ly reduced to the conservatism of
moisture, because water is the sole
vehicle Of plant food, and is con-
served by preventing tho growth
of weeds. Weeds should be pre-
vented rather than destroyed, and
the surface soil kept we'll pulver-
ICED. When this is done, all is
done that can be done for the crop.
Beyond this. cultivation has no
beneficial effect. Every farmer
should know why he plows. Sex

PRESERVING MEX.
Something About the Use of Horacfo
Acid in This Necessary
Matter. '

A scientific journal states that boz
raric acid is an excellent and harmless
preservative of milk, and that in guam
titles necessary to preservation ii. e.,
according to the length of time for
which it is desired to preserve the milk)
its presence cannot be detected either
by the sense of taste or smell. Five
grains to the gallon will preserve the
milk from one TO three days, accord
ing 10 the care exercised in the cleans
ing of the containing vessels and the
temperature. 1t is somewhat surpris-
ing that the iunocuous substance
should have acquired an evil reputation
in the public mind. 1t is stated on good
authority that, although vague state
ments about it of an injurious nature,
have from time to time been spread by
its opponents, not n single instance of
injury to health by boracic acid has
been substantiateG.
Within the last few months DR. G..
Liebreich, director of the royal
pharmaceutical institute, in Berlin,
said, at the instigation of Prof. Vir-
chow, he had carried on long series
of experiments with l>cracic acid, ana
Mad convinced himself that it was ad-
mirably adapted as a food preservative,
and in the quantities necessary for that
purpose it was quite HARMLESS. He
added that neither in actual practice
nor according to authoritative litera-
ture had case been known, so far AS

CAN THIS BE TRUE?
1t Has Been Demonstrated That
Every Living being is
Partially Blind.

1t Will probably be shock to many
10 learn that. without any exception,
they are all partially blind and insensi-
bic to pain.
Ii has been clearly demonstrated by
exhaustive experiments that every hu-
man eye is blind in one particular part
varying in locality and size with the
individual. This can be easily proved
oy tracing 100 curved and parallel lines
on large sheet of paper, and passing
up and down each meridian in turn a
disc of black paper one inch in diane
ter, until the whole area CT the sheet OF
paper has been covered. In following
the movements of the disc il will be
found that at certain parts of its prog
ress it cannot be seen at all, and this is
when the blind spot" in the eye is
focused on it.
This blind spot, which is irregular in
shape, is caused by the optic nerve,
which enters the retina, and thus OBJ
scures part of the picture photographed
Gas it were) on it. The entire scene
looked upon is clearly depicted with
the exception of the part which should
appearon he point of the retina covered
by the optic nerve at its point of entry.
Similarly, scientific experiment
proves that there are thousands of
minute parts of the body which are in.
capable of feeling. You may touch
them with hot needle. or even, to
push the experiment further, YOU may
thrust the needle deeply into the part
without any pain being felt. All parts
of the body share this peculiar insensi-
bility to pain, but the unfort innate
thing is that these dead points" are so
mixed up with parts that are keenly
alive that, unless the point of contact
is confined to the dead point, the pain
is all too manifest.--Cincinnati En-
quirer.

THE RUNNING CINCH.
It's Meaning and Economical Uses
Explained by Western
sheriff.

New Mexico. at works well all round
and satisfies everybody concerned eN-
cept the man that is cinched, and he
never complains, because he's dead.
Nou see 1t often happens that sheriff
in a wild and woolly region. with the
best intentions, has a live prisoner on
his hands that ought by all good rights
to be planted. He is responsible for his
safe keeping in Jail that cow could
walk through, and he knows that the
man is dangerous every minute that he
lives. The prisoners friends outside
are plotting to help him escape, on the
one hand, and, on the other, there is al
wavs the chance that the citizens get up
a necktie party and call for the prisoner
with a rope, which is reflection on the
sheriff, and gross disrespect to the
majesty of the law. These things worry
the sheriff. and he thinks he's stood
enough of it; SO he leaves matters loose
in the Jail, and there IS not much OF
watch kept that anyone can see, and
the prisoner, seeing nothing to hinder,
walks out some day and runs for 1t. lie

thing prepared, with men waiting, and

at was through an atrocious misuse
Of the running cinch that the great
Apache chief, Mangas Colorado, was
killed by United States soldiers about
40 years ago. He had surrendered as a
prisoner of war, and was held under
guard in camp when the plot was made
for his death. As he refused the oppor-
tunities given him TO run, he was
pricked with q red-hot bayonet thrust
through the wall of the tent in which
he was lying. AT that he sprang from
the tent and was killed by the guard AZ
an escaping prisoner. This dastardly
murder, which was wholly without
justification. proved costly crime for
the government in the end. After this
the Apaches would not trust the white
mans word, and long wars followed as
a consequence in which thousands OF
lives were lost and vast expense in

SEA-BRED PIGEONS.
System Employed to Get q Good
Service with Them from Ship
to shore,

Capt. John II. Bartlett, U. S. N, re-
tired chief of the coast signal service
during the war with Spain, has reported
TO the department on the value of car
rier pigeons for signaling purposes,
The Baltimore Sun summarizes the re-
port as follows:
That experiments be made for
the purpose of training homing pigeons
in connection with coast signaling, for
the reason that they offer a solution of
the problem of communication with
vessels in the off-shore patrol fleet
These vessels would most probably OPP
crate in districts having established
bases, and al such distance from the
coast and from the inshore patrol that
visual signals would be almost impos-
sible A hoining pigeon service cannot
be improvised and be of any real value,
The birdsmust be systematically and pa
tiently trained for year or two, not
only to equip the cotes with trained car
riers for that locality, but to furnish a
stock of sea-bred breeders. Expert
mental cotes should be located at the

pigeon outfit and an officer detailed to
develop this means of communication
and superintend the systematic train

would be useless TO rely upon ii a. all.
Such system could be economically
instituted and could be maintained at
comparatively slight cost. \ simple

readily put into operation and small re-
wards Of appropriate ration would
stimulate proficiency. In times of
peace such service would be Of constant
convenience to this department and to
the maritime interests of the country,
and the constant practice would pre-
pare the men for the emergencies of
war.
Attention is called TO the fact that

HELPING A HORSE TO GET UP.
The simple Means Employed by =
New York Truck Driver Who
Knew His Business.

The usual knot of people that had
gathered on the sidewalk to look on. as
people always do when horse falls
down, saw in this case something that
was new to at least some of them. says
the New York Sun. The horse, the off
one of pair hooked to truck, had
gone down on q snow-covered and slip
perry asphalt pavement. The driver
cleared away all the harness, loosed all
the fastenings, so that the horse
would have perfect freedom of move
ment, and then did the one thing that
was new. He got from the truck big
piece of burlap bagging and went back
to the horses head and prepared TO
place it under the horses feet. He
spread it under the horses off fore foot
first, because that was the one be came
to first coming from the truck, arrang-
ing it on the ground close to the foot
and then lifting the foot and leg and
pushing the burlap under it. Then he
went around the horses head TO re-
peat the operation with the nigh foot,
and when he got all ready and had got
hold of the horses foot to ket il the
horse lifted his foot himself, while the
driver simply carried it forward to its
proper place on tie burlap. Then, with
this good, secure hold for his feet, the
horse got up on the slippery pavement
with no difficulty whatever, and the
driver hooked him up again and drove
on.

Gunner's Patron Saint.

Why was st. Barbara chosen 10 be
the patron saint of ali the gunners? 1t
is one of those things which are to be

fact that she does intercede for all

with that meaning attached 20 it in

she is the saint not only of gunners, but
