No Grnce on Dog Tax.

The District authorities have decided not
to allow the usual thirty days grace in re-
gard to the payment of dog taxes. The dog

animals with new tags at once if they wish
to save them from the pound men. In the
past the enforcement of the law has not
been very rigid during the month Of July
that space OF time being allowed the own
ers to secure their tags This year. how
ever, the dog catchers will begin active
operations at once.

PLAGUE DANGER is PASSED.
So Says DR.. Hill of California Health
Board.


SAN DIEGO. Cal, July DIR r. w
Hill, president of the state board Of health,
who has been here ever since the steamer
Carlisle City arrived, and who, as pre-
cautionary measure, had state guards sta
toned around the federal quarantine sta
ton. has withdrawn the guards and left for
home, believing that the danger, II any
ever existed, Is entirely passed. as not n
sign of the plague or other sickness has
appeared among the members of the crew
of the ship.
DR.. Hill said there Is no more danger to
people from the east in coming TO San
Diego and southern California than there is
for them to go to Saratoga, Newport or
any other place. In his opinion the plague
reports were premature and had no au-
thority on which to stand except the unsup-
ported statement of the ships captain a
non-medical man, who admitted to the
states representative that he had rcrer
seen case of authenticated plague.

Cross Breeding of Cottons.

Another important matter being con-
sidered by the department Is the cross
breeding Of cottons. which operation. when
completed, will result in the establishment
Of the fine grade of the product which we
are now bound to import from Egypt.
About 5000, 900 worth Of this refined COM
modify finds it's way here from that region
every year, but after we have finished our
experimental work in this direction we hope
to be able to arrive at combination which
will produce a class of cotton goods as ac-
ceptable as that from the region Of the
Nile.
There is no doubt that this country,
within few months, will be in position to
ignore every other nation on the globe In
the matter Of food products. We will pro-
duce within our own domain everything that
goes upon our table and upon our backs.
We will then be. commercially and indus
trially, almost Independent of the other ma
lions Of the world. Hence any trade COM
bination which may be effected against us
will count for nothing Whenever we get
ready we can come pretty near starving
any other nation Therefore, an effective
combination against US will be an impos-
Sibility."

Humane Treatment of Dogs.
DR. W. c. Woodward, the health officer.
today made an interesting statement in re-
gard to the effect Of the hot weather on
dogs, and suggested some simple modes OF
treatment for the suffering animals He.
said:
The canine portion of the community is
suffering from the heat as much as the hu-
man beings. The result is the usual scare
about mad dogs. Symptoms Of dIscon-
Tort, the result OF heat. are mistaken for
symptoms of hydrophobia. passersby lose
their heads. the nearest policeman Is sum
moned and he ends with a bullet the dis
comfort that might In many cases just as
readily be ended by drink Of cold water,
as was done by discreet, cool-headed Of
ficer on Sunday last There may be dogs
IN the District suffering from rabies, but
the snap diagnoses of more or less alarmed
and misinformed bystanders should not
usually cause uneasiness. The health de-
partment has kept the situation under close
observation, but thus far has seen very
little cause for apprehension. despite the
numerous supposed mad dogs that have
been killed" --- '''''''''7i -

Of course if there has been a chicken pie with oysters just before this, the stuffing should be of plain crumbs. Ss

SKETCHES" OF ALABAMA HISTORY

By Joel Campbell Dubose, M. A.
 Under the above modest title there has recently been published one of the most entertaining and instructive works on Alabama history that has ever been written.
 Every reader of this book will surely derive therefrom both pleasure and profit, for 1t presents the lives of a few typical Alabamians for the study of this generation as no other book does and the only regret one can have about the book Is that the requirement. of a short history forbade the author from passing in review" more ofsthe lives of notable, noble men of Alabama. for the instruction and inspiration of the livink.
 One of the strongest. most vivid word pictures in the whole book. is that of Dr. Seth Smith Mellen. in which the author very lovingly. strongly portrays the life and work of a true teacher.
 This is not an Isolated case. though the only one the author had space for in his book, for the youth of Alabama, prior to 1860, enjoyed the inestlmable privilege of learning for such great, true teachers as pr. Henry A. 'Tutwiler. Dr, Seth Smith Mellen. Robert s. Lewis and many others of like ability. who were born teachers of the highest-type; men who were really greater teachers than Pesto- lOza1 ana tnu eQudiS UT t"FrODel, anu yet their names dven are not known to most of this generation of Alabamians.
 This bc/. rescues one of these lives fir ->l being forgotten, and it is to be hoped that others of this class of great teachers may. before it is too late, have their life work recorded for the use of those coming after us
 A very noticeable feature of the book is that the authors heart was iu his II s,F he was in love with the men of whom he wrote.
 Not the least of the merits of the book is the fact apparent that it is Prof.
