Before Jan. I, 1907, France is going
to spend $95, 1867 200 in increasing her
navy. The scheme proposes the con-
struction of six 14,s65-ton battleships,
five 12,6oO-ton cruisers, twenty-eight
3O5-ton torpedo destroyers and an I'M
stated number of submarine torpedo
boats, for which the sum of $13, 660, 900
has been set aside. The French navy
is the first to possess submarine boats
really worthy of the name, that is to
say, able under certain conditions to
discharge successfully the torpedoes
with which they are armed against
hostile vessels. either anchored or in
motion.

Kaw valley Potato Cron.

Lawrence, July 3O.-The potato crop
in the Kaw valley is turning out near
ly so bushels an acre more than it was
expected. The crop in the valley be-
tween Lawrence and Kansas City is
estimated will reach four thousand
carloads. 1t is generally believed that
the crop will average from $50 to PTS
bushels to the acre. This is an enor-
nous crop when it is known that the
crop does not usually average over 200
bushels to the acre. In fact 200 bush
els is considered a good crop.

There are more Germans in Milwau-
'kee in proportion to its population
than in any other city. The percent
age of population is &c, and Hoboken
is a close second with 81 per cent.
New York has only SO per cent and
Chicago 81 per cent. Boston is at the
bottom of the list, with German
population of only per cent of the to-
tal. Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, New
ark, Cincinnati, and Jersey City have
larger percentages of Germans in their
populations than either New York or
Chicago.

One of the most honored and con-
spicuous figures in the public life of
Great Britain during the last half CEN
fury was Lord Playfair, of whom a
sketch appears in the North American
Review. The vast sanitary improve
ments which have taken place in Eng
land within thirty years and the evo-
luton of the whole system of scien-
tific and technical instruction are due
to Playfair more than to any other
man. He originally suggested the
adoption of open half-penny letters,
now known as post cards. and he
was largely instrumental in suggesting
the basis of an equitable agreement
between Great Britain and America
when President Clevelands Venezue-
Ian message had brought the two coun-
tries into dangerous antagonism

touch with what is going on in the
world. L heard that in general the
women We're virtuous and married
young. I heard one good saying about
marriage which was new to me; they
say that when a woman has married a
shiftless, ne'er-dowell man that "she
has shaken hands with dry bread" To
woman, young or old, they are snuff
dippers. Whether from this or some
other cause, they are universally of sal
low complexion. I saw no pretty
women or handsome men; on the other
hand. the boys and girls were very
good-looking, bright-eyed and plenty Of
color in their cheeks Two customs
struck me; one, that there were no old
maids nor bachelors; another, that it
was the custom for both sexes to poin
the church as soon as old enough. The
people are outwardly religious-not in
our sense, perhaps-but after their own
ideas of what constitutes religion. 1t is
the stamping ground of all sorts Of re-
ligious fanatics and cranks. They
think it is dull year in which they do
not listen to some new gospel. The
larger and smaller points of theology
they are very fond of hearing discussed.

the doctrine of Generalization and ac-
tually end his sermon with the decla-
ration that he did not understand it.

strange, fantastic and more often SUI

much outgrown in most parts of our
land, that makes western Carolina an
interesting country to visit and study.

POISON IN CLOTHING.

| Englishmen are Almost as Frightened
| by What They Wear as by What
| They Drink
| Bright colors are very fashionable
now for the spirits of those whose lot
in life it is to inhabit cities as gloomy
as London or Manchester are in Deem
Der, and the smartest tints are those
known as fondant or bonbon shades,
pretty blues, soft pinks, delicate pur-
pies and military reds. The strides
chemistry has achieved during the
past few decades make the production
of such colors easy and their cost mex
pensive, but unfortunately 1t also
makes adultera ton easy too, and the
use of poisonous dyes is becoming all
too common.
Anilines are very extensively used
and very little harm has been traced to
fabrics so colored, while chrome yell
lows containing lead, green's containing
arsenic, and blues containing muriate
of soda, have been proved distinctly
deleterious.
Aniline is largely used in coloring
wall papers and window curtains with
out bad effect, but curious case has
just been made public by the French
cademe de Medecin relating to the
injurious effects of aniline oil, which is
used in yellow-b brown boot paste. Two
children wearing these polished boots
were poisoned and the evil was traced
to the Oil in the paste, which had grad
ually soaked through the leather
Unuckily. there is no ready way of
I1o+,r,
harmful and dyes that are not. Expe-
rience and consequences alone are
guarantee of their innocuous or baneful
influences. Those who do art needle
work with silks and colored threads
should never bite off the end of their
silk, nor suck it in order that it may
thread easily through the needles eye,
for to those foolish, though excusable,
habits cases of arsenical poisoning have
been traced
In case where there are abrasionS or
sores Of any kind upon the limbs--for
example, upon the shins or ankles
dyed hosiery should never be worn un-
less the broken skin is protected
Scarlet socks, however expensive,
should never be worn until they have
UeeH thoroughly washed. All the clever
chiropodists, after cutting a corn or
treating it with an acid, protect the
place by means of plaster or lint before
the patient puts his socks on again.
Clothes, dresses and nantes also often
reek with poison. Many people have
been made seriously ill after fast
walk owing to the dye soaking through
the armpits or other spots and enter
ing the open pores of the skin. There is
an immense amount of trickery accom-
plished in the trade, where indigo-dyed
goods are concerned. Even "worsted
indigo" sold at nine shillings sixpence
a yard, has occasionally been found to
be something else poisonous, having not
a trace of pure indigo in it.
The test for the discovery of pure in
digc is as follows: Place a piece of
cloth half an inch square on a saucer,
plate or in a porcelain basin, and drop
two or three drops of strong nitric acid
on it. If pure indigo is present, a
bright yellow spot with a. green rim Is
quickly developed. Mail.
