Hints For Smokers.

Here Is a good tip for n smoker: The
best pipe grows foul sometimes, and
the various patent cleaning devices are
of little use In making II fresh. But II
you pack the bowl tight with grass or
hay and lay the pipe aside for n few
days you will have 1t as sweet as when
It was new. Talking about smoking,
here Is n good idea for lighting match
es: Don't light them on your trousers,
for you'll burn sllts In them, nor on
your shoe soles, for you'll rub the heads
Off. The plan Is to rub them on piece
of paper-a folded newspaper, an envel-
ope. ticket. The silica in the paper
acts like sandpaper.
Many people can't smoke n dozer
cigarettes without getting a sore throat
Inveterate cigarette smokers are FIRE
quently troubled with a perpetual COLI
In the head. II is not the smoke tina
Is to blame, but the dust. Now, II yoI
use a cigarette tube-amber, cherry ol
cardboard-a tiny bit Of cotton wool II
the bottom OF II will catch every par
ticle OF dust. Try this, and you'll have
no more sore throats. But you may mo-
enjoy the smoke.-Exchange.

YELLOW
FEVER
INSECTS
Mosquito Experiments to
Prove the Value of CaldaS'
Serum.

HAVANA Aug. 27-0f the eight persons
bitten by infected mosquitoes in con-
hection with the experiments conducted
by the yellow fever board during the
last three weeks, three have died. Three
others who took fever are expected to
recover. One has not developed the
disease. The eight persons as yet has
not developed yellow fever.
Surgeon. Major Reed intends to con-
tinue the investigations. Major Georgas,
chief sanitary officer, says the idea of the
yellow fever board was to subject to
mosquito infection as many as would
volunteer. Sixteen persons had been
bitten and all recovered and the theory
OF the board that il some 100 or more
persons could have been bitten with
the similar results a report could
have been published showing apparent
ly how safe and easy II was to become
immune. After this had been published
the entire population might have been
immunized. So many cases gave mild
results that the impression was created
that the danger was not 90 great as it
has turned out to be.
Thus far during August there have
been two deaths from yellow fever in
Havana as compared with an average Of
more than 80 for the month Of August
during the previous II years, Major
6eorgas regards the experiment in mos.
quito infection as Of immense service to
science.
The man who was bitten by an infect
ed mosquito after incubation with the
serum of DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian ex.
pert, had developed what seems TO be
symptoms Of yellw fever, The yellow
fever board calls the case a suspect.

fact that they differed from the regu-

with them on so many points that they
ought 20 vote for Bryan anyway. He
wound up that part of his speech as

INFANT
| FOUND
Body FiShed Out of the Mill
Race on Front Street.
Foul Play is SuSpected--An
Inquest Will by Held To
morrow.

A ghastly discovery was made in the
ditch leading to the big mill this morn
ing. IL was the body Of a new born
infant, which had evidently been born
during the night previous. 1t was fret
discovered by DIR. Motifs little son, who
was playing about the place in boat.
In attempt to capture the paper shoe
box in which il was wrapped, he pushed
the cover off Of the box, but
failed to see anything more than the
cotton in which it was wrapped.
About noon Mr.. Clsggett's little son was
playing block below, and went after
the box in a boat, when ne discovered
the head OF child. He gave alarm, and
very soon Coroner Lane was called to
the place and took the box containing
the body Of the child to the undertaking
parlors Of Rigdon & Olough. 1t is a boy
baby, well matured, bright looking, but
had large black blotch on its head,
where it had evidently been hit with
some heavy weapon.
II is the opinion Of the undertakers
that the child was born alive, but was
made way with by some unscrupu lous
parent or relative. Coroner Lane and
Sheriff Durbin are Of the opinion that
foul play has been INDUCED in, and are
closely looking up traces Of the perpe.
traitor. The inquest will probably not be
held before morning, as the body is in
good state Of preservation and more time
is wanted TO ferret out what information
can be secured.

our SUM small one.


The sun Is about 100000 miles or.
The only way Of measuring the dis
tance OF a fixed star Is by parallax, and
scarcely more than half a dozen can be
estimated that way. Suppose the sun
Is here, in space, on Jan. l. On July /
he will be 1S4,OOO000 miles over there.
This Is the base Of measurement. The
observer who wants TO estimate the
distance Of, say, the star A Centauri
notes its position with regard to the
next star. In six months he notes
again, and II they are separated by a
different distance a so called parallax
Is established, and some calculation
can be made of the distance Of the
nearest one. In the most favorable
cases this parallax Is extremely slight.
What is the sun made Of? The lines
Of the spectrum give an idea Of his
chemical properties, but beyond that
ell Is hypothesis. His substance, as a
whole, is Of much lighter material than
the earth, but yet there may be hard
and heavy fiery pudding inside, for
there is light and thick outer coating,
named the photosphere. Outside this,
refining away 10 an unknown distance,
Is the chromosphere, OF hot air, so to
speak. The spots are riffs through the
photosphere, coming and going, and
some are SO large that our whole earth
could be shot right through, with a
thousand miles TO spare all around.
When a total eclipse covers the sun,
flames TO the height of thousands OF
miles are seen out Of the photosphere
The sun is hundred times larger than
the earth, an easy thing to say. and YET
our sun is believed to be a rather small
one. For instance, Sirius is at least
nine times as big.-Imperial.
