ADDRESS BY GEO. p. WATROUS.
Spoke on the City Charter Last Night
a. Yale Hail.

Spoke on the City Charter Last Night
az Yale Hall.
Attorney George d. Watrous ad-
dressed the Mems Neighborhood club
in Yale hall last night, the occasion be-
ing the regular monthly meeting Of the
club. Mr. Watrous took for his topic
The City Charter and gave a very
interesting account of the old and new
charters and the important changes
that have been made in them during
the recent years.
Mr. Watrous was one of committee
of five which was appointed to draw up
the new charter, the other members of
the committee being J. N. States,
Frederick Beach Eli Whitney and Hen
ry C. White Mr.. Watrous gave an
account Of the work of the committee
and of the charter that was adopted in
1898, the result of a great deal Of labor
on the part of the committee. Con-
tinual changes We're made until 1897,
when the new charter was adopted.
The speaker said he was glad to see
such interest as was shown by the
members of the club last night and
hoped it would continue. He spoke of
house in that section of the city and
said it was good idea and hoped, that
the men in the club would be the prime
movers.
Mr.. Watrous compared the city gov
eminent to the Consolidated road and
said that the plan followed in running
one was very much like that followed in
the management of the other. The
powers of the city officials, their terms
in office, etc, were infinitely explained
to the men and doubtless every one who
heard the talk profited by it. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Watrous' talk those
present were given the privilege of ask
ing questions on the city government,
which We're answered by him.
Next Saturday night at Yale hall Mr..
Brown of the New York Single Tax
club will deliver an address on the sin
ele tax theory.

In the current number OF the treasu-

health the relative Importance of vari-
Gus agencies in the propagation of the
bubonic plague is treated u length
1t says:
"A mass of evidence is being accumu-
lated in this bureau which goes to show
that, while the ambulent type OF the
malady calls for great vigilance, the
greatest danger is to be apprehended
from the importation of the disease
through the instrumentality of the ordi-
nary rat. There is a strong probability
that the rat was responsible Tor the IN
PRODUCTION of the plague into Oporto;
there is little doubt that 1t was intro
duced into Santos through the same
medium; private advices from Honolulu
indicate that it was not there intro
duced through food stuffs or merchan-
disc, but that again the rat was the re-
sponsible agent.
Rats migrate from ship to ship along
docks and quays in search OF food, and
ships loaded with rice and other food
stuffs should therefore be particularly
looked after They should be subject

Meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes IN the ordinary sense-that IL,
they do not putrefy, soften or smell
bad-but they certainly do deteriorate
in some intangible way. After GER
tain time frozen meat loses some life
principle essential TO It's nourishing
quality, Such meat lacks flavor; 1t ia
not well dlgested or assimilated. Its
savorless condition cannot be remedled
or successfully disguised by the use OF
sauces and condiments.
Those who eat cold storage food for
any length of time develop diarrheal
disorders, lose In weight and would
eventually starye to death unless a
change OF diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to timed fruits and
vegetables, They should not be used
after certain period has elapsed
Especially should people be warned
against using stale eggs and old milk
and cream MIX aud cream are kept
for days, rancid butter Is washed and
treated chemically, but all food, and
especially cold storage food, IL dam
aged by long keeping, and Will not
nourish the body properly. There Is
the greatest abundance OF food, but II

Memory can play the strangest of
tricks" says a specialist, "and 1t Is
responsible for not u few supersttious
fears In sensitive people,
"A lady once told me that she found
herself at times In places where her
surroundings seemed 10 have been
known to her before, though she knew
that she had never been there pre-
yiously.
probably you Will recognize this eX-
perience, which Is common enough.
How many people, when reading or
listening to conversation. become
vaguely conscious that they have read
the passage or heard the identical
words Ia the dim. long past
cit Is not Il haunting mystery, but
just a way that memory has. In
Vulnerable Impressions Of the most
trivial things are stored in the brain
and viii CONT out when called upon
In the lady's case she had probably
seen a picture OF the scene at some
time, and a view OF the actual place
produced memory's feeble effort to re-
call It."

TRAINING WATCHDOGS.
The Method Tint In Uaed by a Ger
man Instructor.

The Method Tint In Used by a Ger
man INSTRUCTORS.
Although II Is generally believed that
watchdogs are ito the manner born"
II seems that II certain amount OF train
Ing helps very much to turn out real
ly good one. This system of training
has developed into regular business
In Berlin, where one Herr Straus has
an academy from which watehdogs
are turned ont by the hundred every
year.
His system IL educational and is ap-
piled to almost every kind of dog. He
first teaches the animal obedience by
training II TO perform certain tricks"
at command and then trains 1t to dis
tinguish between visitor and a bur-
glar and what part OF mans body
should he attacked to render the man
helpless.
Outside of the gate the trainer places
u dummy representing the burglar, and
| to the latch Is attached string. By
means Of the string the gate Is opened
slowly. until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog IL
| taught to fly ut It's throat. Herr Straus
IL very particular about this. He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
pnrt Of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
of the dummy, and OF course he Is well
paid for his services.
All dogs, II seems. may be made good
watchdogs, but the St Demands and the
Russian wolfhounds are the best where
property of great value Is to be guard
ed. For dogs not NO fierce as they are
different system OF training Is used.
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care, but are not SO
quick TO attack mn intruder as the
hercer dogs are Philadelphia Times.

THE CRIMINAL CUCKOO.
He Is the One Exception to the Kind
~ Nature of Birda.


Bad temper and cruelty are perhapz
the most obvious signs of mental de.
generation in the beasts. The larger
monkeys, for instance become as bad
tempered as violent man when they
grow old and many In their treatment
OF other animals are cruel as we use
the word In regard to man. Among
the earniVorous beasts tho cat amuses
Itself by torturlng mouse, and the
weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill
Ing. No such cruelty is seen among
eagles or falcons. Fierce as their tenn
pers are, they do not torment other
birds which they catch or kill for kill
ing's sake. Good temper Is general
among birds.
Except the cuckoo, such a thing as
an Ill tempered Wild bird is unknown.
Nowhere In the race can temper like
that of the TasmanIan devil or the
wild hunting dog or the Cape buffalo
or the baboon be found. Even those
which In spring are thieves and egg

fellowship In society. personal afrec-
tion TO each other to which the beasts
offer no parallel, industry and indie
pendence, intense devotion and fore
sight In tending their young, with 9TH
er very human and engaging traits OF
character, must all be credited to the
race of birds
Among these kindly and simple ma
lures the cuckoo Is monster. Let
there be no mistake on this subject
He unites In his life and character,
from the egg to the adult bird, prac-
tees and principles to which the whole
race of warm blooded animals offers no
parallel. He Is an outrage on the NOR
al law of bird life, something so fla
grant and 50 utterly foreign to the way
OF thought of these kindly beings that
IL he did not exist he would be incon-
ceivable. 1t is not merely that he ia q
supplanter and changeling. His
whole nature IL so evil that In the
world of birds he is an incarnation OF
the principle of Ill. nm embodiment of
Vices which would IL understood or
adopted by other birds put an end to
the existence OF the race. - London

THE SHORES OF SILENCE.

through the dark. grim gateway OF silence
There comes not an echo OF sound
And the land Of the hidden hereafter
To men is an untrodden ground
But why do | strain sight aud hearing
To catch but fragment So smallY
oh, why should wait for the swing Of the gate
Or hope for the future at ally
All, sweet in the moments Of slumher
The glimpse OF happier land,
And bright is the light and the glory
That falls on the wide golden strand
For sometimes | see the light Skinner
In htful but glorined CLEANS
On the sea and the shore OF glad evermore,
The fanciful island of dreams!
sometimes In the hours OF my waking
Seem TO hear music and mrth
That floats out Of chaos and silence
And reaches the sin burdened earth
but know that the glow and glsduess
Is empty odor and air,
And the music hear is IN some other sphere
The land OF my longing and prayer
Rome time there will be ripe fruluon,
And shall be dreaming no more
I'll give up the shadow for substance
And sail 10 that glorifed shore
All, then Will | lit the dim curtain
And know cen as have been known:
BY bondage shall break when my soul shall
awake.
And my spirit shall come 10 its own,

Indinn COmpOaItIOna.

New composition" stories are fur
nished by two young Indians whose ef-
forts In this difficult line are reported
by The Southern Workman.
The subject assigned to the first boy
was the life of General Armstrong. He-
ferring to the generals boyhood among
the idolatrous ancestor worshiping
natives OF the Hawaiian Islands, he
wrote as follows:
"The people of the Sandwich Islands
worshIped the idols OF their aunts' sis
ters."
The second boy, a member of the
same class, writing upon a different
phase OF the same subject got the city
Of Washington confused with the man
for whom the city was named. Refer
ring to the retirement OF General Arm
strong from the service after tho war,
he said
when General Armstrong finished
the war he wrote to Washington and
asked him II there was anything more
he could do for him"

MANS UPS AND DOWNS.

One who had found the world all bright
Fell by the wsyside on day.
But hope bent down and kissed his cheek
And hsde him rise aud 10 his way
He totled in hungry loneliness,
The friends he knew in former days
Forgot, somehow, to seek him cut
Or help him on With words OF praise.
The weary years dragged slowly by.
One morning fame stood at his door.
And lined up in an anxious row
Were ali the friends he'd known before.
So failure or success attends
The man who loses or who wins.
That he may know where friendship ends
And where self interest begins.
