Center of Population.

Whether Hawaii and the Philippines
Mill be taken into account in locating
the center of population of the United
States by the census of 1900, and
whether that center will be nearer 10
st. Louis than to Indianapolis, are
questions that some persons are pom
dering. The Philippines and Hawaii
will not be taken into account, and
the center of population this year
moves further away from both st,
Louis and indianapolis. From 1890 to
1890 the center of population moved
steadily westward along or near the
thirty. ninth parallel Of latitude. In
1890 the center of population was q
little west Of Greensburg, in Decatur
County, Indiana. This Is little
southeast Of Indianapolis.
The exact location of the center Of
population by the census Of 1900 has
not yet been officially announced, but
unofficial estimates Of the census
office move it some thirty miles east
ward this time. The center of popu-
htion will be still in lndiaula, but
close 10 the Ohio line.

The Disease More PREVALENT tnan hVel
and Quite as Fatal. The
Best Treatment
The grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
1t is proving especially dangerous to
middle.aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset Of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
Of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack Of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. By wearing Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary carc) you are safe
from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and colds, Benson's Plasters
are a sure and speedy relief and cure
Highly medicinal and scientific.

superstitious Great Men.

Superstition has not only prevented
mankind from attaining superior en-
inence Of happiness, but what is more
deplorable, it has added in a great de-
gree to an already extensive catalogue
of earthly miseries. 1t is not by the
ignorant alone that superstitious be-
liefs are entertained, but by many emil
nent men of the past and present. DR..
Samuel Johnson was a firm believer in
ghosts and second sight. Josephus, the
great Jewish historian, relates that he
saw the extraordinary sight of an evil
spirit being induced to leave the body
Of an afflicted mortal upon the applica-
ton of Solomon's seal to the patients
nostril. James vi, who was noted for
his intellectual attachments and theo-
logical learning, was firm believer in
witchcraft. So deep a hold did this
absurd notion have on him that he pub
lished work upholding this doctrine
and actually punished all who opposed
the belief.-Exchange.

1t is refreshing to read of the punish
ment of those thieving army officers
in Manila. If one could only feel sure
that they will not be pardoned as soon
as the scandal has subsidized, it would
have the effect of stimulating the wan.
ing public faith in the equality of Of
tenders before the law. Only few
weeks ago it was given out that the
story of military thefts in Manila was
exaggerated. but the evidence that
they were good deal worse than
anyone believed is found in the con-
viction and Imprisonment of the &C.
cused. Judging from precedent, it is
to be assumed that every possible ex-
cuse was made for the thieves. and
that even then their offense was seri-
GUS enough to merit term of impris-
onment. Editor Rice must feel that
his vindication has come. His paper
was suppressed and himself banished
because he ventured to charge the Off
GERS of the port with official crooked
ness. Now some of these officers have
been sent to Jail. 1t is likely that if a
few editors of the Rice stamp were
dropped down into Manila and allowed
the freedom of honest expression,
there might be a few more American
officers in the Bilbid prison and few
less FilipinOs.

We may marvel at grubs growing fat
and succulent upon such unpromising
fare as old timber affords, but that
achievement is improved upon by the
insects that prefer to draw their en-
tire nutrition from 'voolen fabrics, fur,
horsohair, feathers, tanned leather and
the like and apparently without ever a
desire to "wet their whistles by any
thing of a juicy nature. Any small,
silvery winged moth that is seen fit
ting about the house is regarded as a
"clothes MOTH" but every one killed is
not an enemy. for there are number
of moths Of similar size and appearance
that come from outdoors and have been
occupied as grubs in destroying green
leaves. It is a common error to sup
pose that it is the clothes moth that
does the mischief. though by destroy
ing the moth we prevent the laying of
innumerable eggs from which come the
consuming larve. whose cutting jaws
would be actively and necessarily en-
ployed in mutilating choice fabrics and
valuable furs. These caterpillars are
rarely seen by the housewife because
their first care on leaving the egg is to
disguise or hide themselves.
The clothes moth pro2er has yellow
ish gray wings, with three or four in
definite brownish spots upon them, and
in consequence Of its marked prefer
ence for furs 1t is known to science as
Tinea pellionella.-Good Words.

A Cheeae ROaat.

Those who insist upon eating cheese
should take the precaution to cook it
thoroughly before eating. tits for this
reason that some people who are un-
able to eat raw cheese find themselves
able to eat toasted cheese without diff
flculty. Toasting the cheese does not,
however, increase its digestibility, but
rather the reverse. It's beneficial effect,
If any, is from the destruction of the
virulent microbes which are present
and which are capable of giving rise
to symptoms even more distressing
than those of ordinary indigestion. The
best method Of dealing with cheese is
to give it to the pigs, as it is nothing
more or less than decayed milk, fit only
for a scavenger diet. = Sanitary and

Mr.. Clark, brimful of enthusiasm over

"Well," replied Mr.. Barnum, with
just the falntest suggestion Of a twin

the vernacular is called the-the-tad-
