The Execution OF Laud.

while Presbytery had been fighting
its victorious battle in the Jerusalem
Chamber" writes John Morley In the
February Century, "the man whose bad
steering had wrecked his church was
sent to the block. The execution OF
Archbishop Laud January 10, 1645) Is
the best OF all the illustrations OF the
hard temper Of the time. Laud was
more than seventy years old. He had
been for nearly five years safe under
lock and key in the Tower. His claws
were effectually clipped, and 1t was
certain that he would never again be
able to do mischief, or II he were, that
such mischief as he could do would be
too trivial to be worth thinking Of in
sight OF such general catastrophe as
could alone make the old mans return
to power possible. The execution OF
Strafford may be defended as q great
act Of retaliation or prevention, done
with grave political purpose. So, plaus-
IDLY or otherwise, may the execution OF
King Charles. No such high consider
ations justify the execution OF Laud,
several years after he had committed
the last Of his imputed offenses and
had been stripped Of all power of ever
committing more. 1t is not necessary
that we should echo DR.. Johnson's
lines about Rebellion's vengeful talons
seizing on Laud, and Art and Genius
weeping round his tomb; but If we
rend the veil of romance from the
Cavalier, we are bound not to be over
dazzled by the halo of sanctity In the
2oundhead."

Timber Trees Advancing.

Prof. c. F.. Bessey announces in a
letter to Science, that he has obtained
evidence that trees. including such Spe-
cies as oak, hickory, willow, cotton
wood. elm and box elder, are rapidly
advancing in Eastern Nebraska. Inc
areas covered by them are gradually
creeping up the courses of the streams
and spreading out internally. In some
cases the tree belt" along rivers has,
within twenty-five years, increased in
width from 100 feet TO half mile, and
even a mile.

Stage Snow Storms.

s'You might not think it," said a
prominent glove manufacturer OF
Paris to representative of the New
York Commercial, "but the theatres
have to come to our back door to get
material to help them out in their
beautiful stage effects. Waste glove
clippings are now almost universally
used for making snow in winter
scenes. Every wanderer and ontcast
you see shivering through these fierce
Siberian snow storms IS perishing In
a shower of clippings of wbito kid
glove material.
Theatrical people tell me these
clippings of kid gloves are much bet
ter than the paper snow formerly
used. think the superiority OF kid
glove clippings over paper is that they
cling better to the clothing of the per-
ishing outcasts.
"The knowledge Of this bit of stage
illusion rather destroys the effect OF u
stage snow storm for ire, and | find
myself involuntarily selecting plays
that have nothing but warm weather
in them. "-Glove Makers.

APPENDICITIS.
The Disease il More Frequent Will
Young Than Old.

The Disease il More Frequent With
Young Than Old.
The vermiform appendix, infamma-
ton OF which constitutes appendicitis,
is a curious little offshoos from the
large intestine near the point where 1t
is joined by the small intestine. 1t IS
a hollow tube about as thick as lead
pencil, from an inch to several inches
= IN length, which communicates with
the cavity of the large intestine but IS
closed at its free extremity. Nobody
knows definitely what its use is, and
many think it has no use at all.
1t is popular belief that inham:
nation of the appendix is often caused
by the lodgment in it OF grape-seed
or some similar little body, but as a
matter of fact this very seldom occurs,
and no one need deprive himself OF a
delicious and nourishing fruit from
any such fear.
There are probably very few per
sons OF middle age who have not had
appendicitis, but fortunately they did
not know it. 1t is only when the in
fammation becomes severe, and in
wolves the parts about the appendix,
that violent symptoms appear, and
this occurs in only a small proportion
OF cases.
The disease is more frequent with
the young than with the lniddle-a5ad
or old.
In mild cases the only symptom is
a slight dull or colicky pain in or near
the right groin. When the inaamma-
tion'is more severe, or extends to the
neighboring parts, the symptoms be-
come more pronounced. There is a
sharp pain in the abdomen, signs of
dyspepsia-loss OF appetite, nausea or
vomiting, and bowel disturbances
are present, and there is often slight
fever.
Inthe most serious cases a sudden,
violent pain occurs, there is marked
fever, and the patient is depressed
and presents all the signs of being
very i'll. -Iiccough is often distress
ing symptom.
The treatment Of appendicitis is one
of the points upon which doctors dis
agree. Some believe that in nearly
every cas-. u cure will follow rest IN
bed, milk diet, cold applications to
the abdomen and sedatiye remedies.
Others assert that all operation IS
necessary in every instance, and that
this should be performed the instant
diagnosis Of appendicitis is made,
before serious symptoms appear.
The proper course. here as else
where, is doubtless the middle one,
for in many case7 an operation is a6-
solutely necessary to save life, while
in others recovery will take place with
out sub;ecting the patient to this serl-
ous risk. In any case sufferer from
appendicitis is in danger, and should
he under the constant care OF his ply.

RICH IN RESOURCES
Some Splendid Opportunities Are Open
In the Australian Colonies.

Some Splendid Opportunities Are open
in the Australian Colonies.
Queensland is practically Undevel-
oped as yet, and 1t is only 40 years old,
that having been the time since its
separation as a colony. 1t contains
nearly 100000 square miles, and has
only 100000 population. North Queens
land has a population Of only 100000,
and yet it is an exceedingly rich sec
ton in natural resources. Charter
Towers, 50 miles west OF Townsville,
the principal gold mining section, pro-
duced 457,S50 ounces Of gold in 1898,
of the value Of $5,7s4,720, and the total
output of gold for the colony during
the past year was e20,O4S ounces, val
ued at S13,751,775. The colony has
produced, up to date, minerals to the
value of 1925, ,000, 900. Copper, silver,tin,
etc. are some OF the minerals existing
in large quantities. Within the next
few years there will be tremendous
output of copper, as railroad is being
built to the very rlch CnllaSoe mlnes.
North Queensland Is great grazing
country, and, as the climate and the
abundance of native grasses are all IA
vorable to grazing, the profit on sheep
and cattle is very large. There arc
numbers Of sheep ranches on which
there are 100000 sheep, one Of which
has 1,250,0OO head. Cattle raising Is
also extensively engaged in, the ex-
ports of cattle from the northern por-
ton of the colony alone being $500
head day for ten months in the year.
A herder can sell cattle at-with
prodt-s5 a head, and when he gets
$40, as he often does, the profit is very

Prciectlle Air.

Physicians in South Africa now
have another theory for explaining
away the charges made by both Briton
and Boer that the other is using ex-
plosive bullets. The extensive lacera-
ton often found in bullet wounds is
now said 20 be due to the air which
the bui!at drives before it into the
woa2d. The existence of this phen-
omenon can be proved easily. If
round bullet be dropped into glass
of water from the height OF few feet
it will be seen that when the bullet
touches the bottom large bubble of
air will become detached and rise to
the surface. In this case the bubble
will usually be from ten to twenty
times the size of the bullet.
Now, Mauser bullet travelling at
high speed is said to carry before it a
babble of compressed air of large
dimensions. Experiments made by
a surgeon who fred pistol ball into
glass of water showed the bubble to
be one hundred times the size of the
ball. From the appearance of the
wounds and from these experiments
it is concluded that the mass Of air
driven by Mauser bullet e1plodes in
the body of the wounded man with
sufficient force to cause extensive
laceration. This destructive air
bubble is we'll known to surgeons
under the name of projectile air.

CHILDREN AT THE VAUDEVILLE.

II don't suppose one person in a hun

this morning
"Of course there have always been a
