HeaIthiest Town in Amerlca.

The honor Of being the healthiest
town in the United States, and perhaps
In the world, belongs to Millerstown,
Pa. The death rate, according to the
latest statistics, issued from Washing
ton, gives Millerstown but in every
1000 inhabitants. The average death
for the big towns and cities in the Uni
ted States runs from 10 in 1000 up to
20 and even more.
Millerstown has about $500 inhabit-
ants 1t lies in the Juniata Valley at
the base of the Blue Mountains over
hanging the Juniata River, about thir-
ty-three miles west of Harrisburg on
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The exceedingly healthy condition of
the town is largely due to the water
supply which is free from pollution.
The town is supplied with water from
springs which flow into the Juniata
River. While it is not claimed that the
springs contain medicinal properties
the water is transparency pure. The
absence of any manufactures or big
works keeps the air free from smoke
and dirt.
The sanitary arrangements of the
town are in excellent condition and re-
ceive close attention from the officials.
Intoxicating liquors are almost an
unknown quantity, although the town
Is not prohibition. The people are quite
up to date in all their surroundings and
occupations.

Poison in Potatoes.

The Sanitary Home is authority for
the statement that potatoes contain
a poison known as solanin. New po-
tatoes contain comparatively little of
this poison unless they grow above the
surface of the ground and have green
skin, when they are generally known
to be poisonous.
1t is not, however. generally known
that old potatoes contain much more
of this poisonous MISUNDERSTANDING
and many cases of serious poisoning
have occurred in late summer when old
potatoes are used. In 1892 and 1898
there was almost wholesale poisoning
among the troops of the German army.
The symptoms were frontal headache,
collie, diarrhoea, vomiting, weakness,
and slight stupor and in some cases di-
latation of the pupils of the eyes.
Meyer investigated the case, and found
in old potatoes, kept in a damp place
and beginning to sprout, twsnty-four
times as much solanin as in new po-
tatoes.

COST OF GREAT WARS.
The Aggregate Sum Is So Vast as to
Be Beyond the Ordinary Grasp.

We have recently heard that as far
as we have gone we have spent some.
thing like six millions to bring Mr..
Kruger to his senses. It will, there
fore, be interesting to look back to
other items Of Or war bills, dating
back to exactly three hundred years
ago.
If we take the paid bills of the file
and add up the yotals, we find that
during this period we have spent
about Ell, 400,00O,OOO in war. Cal
culating the population of the United
Kingdom at forty millions, we might
estimate that had the money been
saved, there would be a nice little
nest-egg of 435 for every man, wom-
an and child Of the population
Still, it is well to remember, when
peace advocates point to the figures
with grief, that, on the whole, we
have made a very fair profit on our
war expenditure, for it has helped us
largely to gain an empire whose total
revenues would pay off the war bill
In less than six years. Indeed, one OF
the best investm snts we ever made
is found in the heaviest item OF the
whole account, the G831, 100000 spent

A RUSH FOR BRIDES.
Why White Men Wish to Wed the
Choctaw Maidens.

When the number of marriages per-
formed during the month Of November
in Indian Territory between Choctaw
girls and white men come to be count
ed up the records promise to develop
startling figures. 1t is estimated that
these marriages during the sing'e
month will mount up to six thousand.
To uniformed fasteners this light
ming lovemaking presents a curious en-
igma.
To he sure, the Choctaw brides are
Young, for the most part under twenty,
and they are pretty. Their coloring is
exquisite-their skin ivory white their
lips red and their hair and piercing
eyes as black as night. Nor is their
beauty their only attraction for many
of them are well informed and all are
intelligent. Moreover, their tastes are
domestic, and most of them are, con-
trary to the traditions of their race,
gentle and sunny in temper
But, unfortunately for the romance
of the story, none of these womanly
virtues and graces account for the
white mems assiduity as suitors. TIE
secret of ii is that a prize comes with
every Choctaw bride who was won be-
fore the first Of December. The prize
is loo acres of land. $50 for the bride,
the same amount for the bridegroom.
This situation was developed in the
following fashion,
Every member OF the Choctaw tribe
has certain portion of land and mon
ey. Hitherto a Choctaw who married
outside the tribe has been able to Sc
cure the same privilege for wife or
husband. But the Dawes Commission
recently took 1t upon itself to an
nounce that after Dec. / no person not
n Choctaw by blood would be enrolled
on the citizenship list.
This meant that no white man who
should marry a Choctaw woman after
that date would be allowed to share in
the possessions Of the tribe. Nothing
could have proved a stronger incentive
to matrimony. The Choctaw girl who
| now finds herself unwedded will have
only herself to thank or blame.
As a protection for the young wom-
en- of the nation and their attra i've
dowers the Choctaw laws provide that
all white men. before they can be ad-
mitted to the tribe, must produce a rec
Ommendation of good character from
the county Judge of the county where
| they last resided.
So strictly is this held to that several
Choetaw bellies are said to have recent
ly refused French and English men of
title because they refused to prove
their ancestry or to produce the neces-
essary proof Of character.
A still stronger evidence of their fas-
tidiousness is that the young women,
few Of whom are full blooded refuse
to marry Indians. This accounts for
the good fortune of the white men.
Every Choctaw family will be from
this time on wealthy in its own right.

THE PRICE OF HEMP.
Soaring Skyward as the Result of
War in the Philippines.

There Is one feature of your war in
the Philippines which the American
Government seems to have over
looked" said Mr.. Clarence Morris
Hughes, of London, at Chamberlin's
who has just returned from that coun-
try. II refer to the closing Of the Phil
ippine ports so that neither sugar nor
hemp can be shipped. AS regards su-
gar this is not of so much Importance
because these islands furnish but a
small portion of the worlds supply. 1t
Is different. however. with hemp, as
since all Manila hemp comes from the
Philippines. and does not grow else
where, the closing of the ports for so
long has sent prices skyward, and to-
day it is no less than 400 per cent
above the normal figures. The supply Is
exhausted and very little can be had
at any price, the bulk of what there is
having fallen into the hands of specu-
lators.

upon whom this rise bears hardest, for

Irvine in harvesting time. An expert
has estimated that the grain-producing
sections of the United States consume
annually 2O0000.000 pounds of this
Irvine. To be sure. not much Irvine is
made of Manila fiber. 1t is usually
manufactured from ssal, but because
of the increased cost Of Manila the de-
mand for sisal has been enormous and
the price Of that product has conse-
quently scared. This is about the time
of year when the material for the pro-
duction of the Irvine for next summers
harvest is purchased. Unless relief
comes Immediately the farmers of your
country will pay about five cents per
pound more for their Irvine than in the
past, which will mean an aggregate ex-
ira expense to them of the enormous
sum of 10000, O.-Washington Post.
