embarking for home at Marseilles Ii
seems to have considered the coffin a
useless freight.
At any rate, he left 1t at the hotel
and the proprietor, not caring for his
weird souvenir, passed IL on to the
customs depot where, after reposing
the statutory period. it figured in the
periodical sale of unclaimed belong
ings. There was no bidder.

For years the male residents OF
Healdsburg, CAL, talked of certain i'm
provements the town needed Moth
ing came of the talk. and then the
women took the matter up and formed
a Ladies' Improvement Club. This or
ganization has transformed the place
having by its active influence and or
Canized labors procured for the town
a municipal water system, a municipal
electric light plant, comfortable seat
in the plaza, an Ineligible name sys-
tenn for the streets, sign boards with
street names at all corners and a
drinking fountain costing 5000. These
Improvements were brought about
without increasing taxes, except for
the two purposes first named.

The four men placed before the
country by the two great political par
ties are exceptionally well known. One
Of them is now the President, another
was four years ago his chief competi-
tor for that office, third was for four
years Vice-President, and the fourth
probably the best-known governor of a
state in the land. The country has
lour months in which to think them
over, weigh their characters, qualities
and tendencies, and make up it's mind.

One Of the charges which the Chi
nese make against the foreign devils"
is That they dig up the soil and there
by release evil spirits which prey upon
human life. 1t is true that much NOR
tally followed the founding of the
English settlement at Hongkong, and
deaths have been frequent since the
digging in and around the new Ger
man town of Tsing-tan. A writer in
the Forum offers the explanation,
which the Chinese are too supersti-
,tious to accept. The soil in both places
lis disintegrated granite, and has been
$50 long occupied by a dense population
that, except where it is frequently
'aerated by agriculture, it is reeking
with disease germs. The "evil spir-
Its" released by the spade are bacteria.
