The great throng which assembled in
front Of the Capitol at Washington on
the occasion of the presentation of the
sword 10 Admiral Dewey completely for
got 10 pay due reverence 10 the Father of
our Country. Indeed the handsome sta
tue Of our first President. which faces
the stand where the presentation was
made, was badly damaged by the crowd
which climbed all over the colossal figure.
One ruthless urchin, intent only on wor-
shipping The heroes of the living present,
sat calmly on Washington's head and
beat time with his heels on the breast of
the figure. The Capitol police were not on
duty during the ceremonies, large body
of metropolitan police having been de-
tailed 10 look after the crowd. and hence
the absence Of that watchfulness which
is so necessary for the care of public
ornaments.
The average stranger who witnessed
the sword presentation must also have
been struck with the great risks taken
by hundreds of persons who viewed the
ceremonies from the roof of the Capitol
and other immense elevations. In many
instances the spectators sat on the edges
Of the cornices with their feet dangling
below. Scores Of women also climbed upon
the cannon when the artillery halted in
the procession, or stationed themselves
near the cavalry regiment, though COM
paratively few accidents were reported.
These scenes and incidents demonstrate
the urgent need for the most rigid police
surveillance Of large crowds which are
bent on witnessing some spectacle. PeO-
pie are apt to forget their prudence when
their attention becomes absorbed and
if not their prudence. quite frequently
their sense of propriety. Richmond re-
Gently got an idea Of the dangers incl
dent TO crowded streets when the run
away in the circus parade occurred and
a maddened horse injured several per-
sons. BE careful where you take your
children on public occasions, and see to
It that your boy is not risking his neck
or committing acts of vandalism.

Ipecac, that great assistant 10 the medi-
cal profession, has been very scarce Of
late and the prices for 1t have been cor
respondingly high, but it is becoming
more plentiful now, large consignments
of it having recently been received in
London. From the Baltimore American
we learn that of the article in question
there are two chief varieties known to
the trade-the Rio or Brazilian root, and
the Carthagena, or New Granada root;
and the recent scarcity Of the former
turned the attention of doctors and drug
gists to the application OF the latter in
the preparation of prescriptions, but not
enough Of il could be obtained Recently,
however, there have been large ship
ments of the valuable Rio root. Last
May, according To the American, the
price of pecac moved to 1915 per pound.
In June it scared to 81 and $3.50, thus
breaking the record for a period of TWEEN
ty-five years. Prices now are from $3.50
to 81. and it is expected that a gradual
decrease will steadily follow. Ten years
ago the root was plentiful, and brought
SIS per pound.

Using Brass Bullets.

The Tribune of the 9th. says that:
Brass bullets are being used by the
Filipinos against the Americans.
That fact vas discovered when a
bullet with brass casing was ex-
tracted from the leg of soldier at
the polyclinic hospital recently. He
is now on Governors Island, being
nursed back to health. The patient
is Lieut.. Joseph l.. Donovan, form
erly of the Sixty-nipth regiment.
He went to the PHILIPPINES as a
regular and was wounded in the leg.
Being young and strong and healthy
he will not die. The surgeons found
the trouble in the shape of bullet,
brass-encased, in his leg. Nature
had saved Donovan's life by encyst-
ing it. Had it not been for the poi
son-proot cyst that surrounded the
bullet Donovan would have been
dead long ago, the surgeons said.

THE HEMP INDUSTRY.
IL Has Lost It's Former Position
Among American Rural
industries.

The hemp industry is already estab-
lished, though it should be extended
in order to recover its lost position
among American rural industries.
Where in the past we produced 10000
tons of hemp in the United States we
now produce less than fifth of this
quantity. The cultivation of fax in the
United States before the days of the
present factory system was so wide
spread that it was of national impor-
tance. Its manufacture was largely a
home industry, however, conducted by
the fireside, and, as in ancient Greece
and Rome, the work was performed by
the women of the household With Ahe
advent of the factory system came COM
petition; the housewife laid aside her
spinning wheel, the clumsy homemade
loom fell into disuse, and the farmer
grew no more fax fiber. Then the flax
seed industry was extended, and after
the close of the war large demand
sprang up for coarse fiber for the
toughest of uses-for bagging and up
holstery, in connection with hemp
and hundreds of little tow mills came
into existence in the middle and west
ern states.-C. R. Dodge, in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly.

AN AGED ROYAL PARROT.
Ducky, of the Princess OF Wales
Household. Was More Than
12S Years Old.

One of the longest-lived birds on rec
ord died recently in London. II was a
parrot named Ducky, the property of
the prince of Wales, and its age was put
at more than i25 years. Dueky was
native of the United States of Colom-
bia, whence he was transported to Eng
land in 1888 and bought by Prime Min
ister Pitt, who in 1900 presented him to
his master, George III. From this date
on the bird was recognized as part of
the royal household, with quarters at
st. james. Dueky, however, developed
amazing conversational powers, unac-
companied with the proper leaven of
discretion, and in 1850 he was SEN
fenced TO banishment from ST. James
on the charge, il is said. of divulgin;y
family secrets. In his new dwelling
place, Windsor castle, Ducky acquired
even worse habits. Windsor accommo-
dates a small garrison, and the parrot
was quick to acquire the vernacular of
Tommy Atkins The result was con-
sidered unsuitable to the well-knoUn
deeorum of the British court. and SEN
tence of Punishment to Australia was
passed on the offender. The amiable
princess of Wales, however, came to the
rescue, and Ducky was removed to
Sandringham, where he remained until
the day of his death Great age though
IT be, l25 years is not considered by
scientific men as the absolute limit OF
a parrot. So reliable an observer as
HUMBOLDT, whose statement In his
matter is accepted without az tion by
Darwin. tells Of parro must
have lived geo years Tha alist
came across the bird in Sot erica
and his reasons for creditiag il with
such extraordinary longevity were thar

guage spoken only by tribe of In
dians which had been extinct more
than 200 years.-N. Y. Sun.

NEvA0A's PUBLIC LANDS.

The annual report of the Commis-
sloner of the General Land Office
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
last, has been made public. 1t shows
that there is still large quantity of
land IN the Western States available
to settlers The following para
graphs relating to Nevada are taken
from the report;
In Nevada there are 29, ,l6O, ,462
acres of surveyed and unappropri-
ated land and 32,15S, ,278 acres Of
unsurveyed and unappropriated
lands, 59sS,OOO are reserved and
1925, ,491 acres appropriated.
The Surveyor General of Nevada
recommends that Congress be asked
to extend the mineral land laws
to include the saline lands in the
State. At present there is no law
of Congress under which a title can
be obtained in Nevada to saline lands
much to the inconvenience of the
people. The Surveyor General asks
for $4,000 for surveying public
lands, and $5, 900 for re-establishing
the connecting mineral monuments.
He says this estimate is based on the
real need for surveys in the State
and that as matter of fact a sum
several times as large would be re-
quired to make the surveys that are
asked or.-Independent.
