lating- the examination of osteopaths
by this board. The crisis came in the
assembly on the motion to strike out
this paragraph and thus open the way
for the osteopaths' bill setting up a
special examining board. The motion
was lost-53 to 33.
The regulars say that doctors of ev-
cry school should have specified

be to open the door to half-trained doc

Not all men feel alike. If they did
the bill taxing ice cut in Wisconsin
and shipped out of the state 10c ton
would not have passed the assembly,
as it did, by a vote of 81 to 10. On the
face of it it would seem to be uncon-
itutional-interferen with inter-
state commerce; but Mr.. Lenroot took
the ground that it was not matter

is a popular bill with the legislators.
Two marriage bills met quick
deaths as soon as the assembly could
vote on them, one by vote Of - to

and blacks, and another vote killing
the bill to allow divorce after five

drouth, which occur occasionally in all
humid lands.
In our eastern states, especially among
the market gardeners supplying our larger
cities, 1t has been found profitable to frri-
gate that more uniform supply OF pro-
ducts may be readySifor the daily market
Every farmer and gardener throughout the
humid belts of the world has some form Of
irrigating or watering special crops which
are raised on small paats during shorter or
longer periods of insufficient rainfall. II
our drouth-parched fields In the central and
eastern parts of the country had been pro-
vided with irrigating waters during the
past few weeks the value Of the crop saved
thereby would have paid for the cost OF
building and maintaining irrigation systems
several times over.
In time 1t is not inprobable-in fact. 1t Is
morally eertain-all farming will be carried
on by the aid of irrigation supplementing
the rainfall where it is deficient, giving
guarantee OF full cEops under practically
all conditions. The element of risk being
removed from the raising of food products,
definite figures regarding the needs of the
world will be possible and the supply can
be very closely adjusted to those needs,
ana famine eliminated from the experience
OF the human family.

On Tuesday he was persuaded to wade In.
Next day he required no persuasion. BY
Monday of the following week he absent
mindedIy walked out Of the hotel without
his crutches. and at last accounts he was
frisking about like the wiry grasshopper.
All this despite the report Of the hospital
doctors that he was suffering from muscu-
lar adhesion in both legs
AT present there are bathers from In
diana Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York, most of them
sufferers from rheumatism. though a few
are old people who are bathing as tonic.
The extraordinary properties of the
SBoyne river water are probably due to
chemical combination, the full nature OF
which is not known. Geological investiga-
tions have shown that under the entire
valley is a deposit of mica quartz, alter
mating with a fine gray clay, which yields
large percentage of lithia. Analysis Of
the water shows that Of 81 grains of
solid in the imperial gallon 30 per cent is
carbonate of lithia and 80 per cent common
salt. In the stones Is found evidence of
iron and other chemical agency. For miles
the stream Is almost choked with water
logged cedar, spruce and tamarack, through
which the water percolates. forming a sort
of tincture on a huge scale. Supposedly 1t
IS this combination of mineral and veg
etable agencies that gives to the water Its
wonderful efficacy.

What Did WaIdersee Do?

from the LONDON spectator
One would much like to understand the
precise position of Count Won Waldersee
within the German empire. He was sent
to China with grand flourish of trum-
pets. when there he was nominated COM
mander-in- chief of the allied armies, and
now he has returned he is received with
almost royal honors and talks in public
of the great feats he has performed. What
are the feats beyond sending little eXpedi-
tions to punish small Chinese towns in the
north for improved assistance to invisible
Boxer levies? 1t is said that Count Won
Waldersee is to succeed Count Won Bulow
as chancellor, or at the very least Is to be
stakeholder of AlSace-Lorraine and as the
German emperor does not give posts of
that kind to incompetent persons or per-
sons who brag, the count must have done
something great of which the world knows
nothing. Did he keep the peace among the
allies, did he really draw up, as was re-
ported, a feasible plan for the seizure Of
Siam. or is the root of 1t all the emperor's
gratitude to clever officer who helps to
conceal more perfectly the fact that the
Chinese expedition failed? The Germans
asking these questions quite loudly,
for, unlike the British, they are keenly in
ierested in Chinese affairs, and desire to
see some definite result as compensation
for their millions. That Is mean, no doubt
but 1t is natural.

The Australian Nation.


The new Australian nation is finding the
rush Of problems consequent upon the at
tainment of it's political unity terrible
strain upon it's patience and mental diges-
tion The commonwealth parliament has
been sitting for over two months, and now
finds itself faced with half a dozen great
issues each of which In a normal state of
legislative activity would be sufficient to
demand the whole concentrated attention
Of the whole parliament. Yet apart from
the Victorian members and about dozen
opposition and labor men, the contributions
made to the solution of these issues are of
the most trivial and mediocre kind. Not
even Mr. Reid seems disposed to worry
till the tariff comes on. The government is
as keenly progressive In it's aims as the
powerful interests upon which 1t leans for
support will permit 1t to be. But already
there are signs Of a lack Of statesmanship
and failure to 'dare greatly" which Is dis
appointing to both friends and foes. Three
questions of the utmost importance are
now before the house of representatives
questions which bear closely upon the re-
lations between Australia and the outside
world-viz., defense, the New Hebrides con-
troll and the limits Of federal control over
railways and shipping.

British Pensions.

From the Chicago Tribune.
OF the pensioners on the American pen
sion roll just about one-quarler are the
widows and orphans of soldiers, most Of
whom were privates. American regard for
the men who have fought the battles Of
their country Is shown not merely in the
gift to them when invalided of larger pen
sions than were paid by any ether nation
but in the gift of pensions to dependent
widows and children. In England the wild
ows of officers killed in action have been
cared for after a fashion by the govern
ment. Nothing has been done oy it for the
widows of private soldiers. They have been
aided, when aided at all, by organized pri-
vate charity. Either because England Is
getting more democratic AMI hence holds
private soldiers in higher esteem than
formerly, or because the Boer war has
made so many widows to provoke a de-
mand that the government shall do some
thing for them, one army order has been
Issued granting pension Of nearly 81 20
a week to the widows Of private soldiers
killed In action. The allowance IS 4 little
larger where there are children.

AMERICANS IN LONDON.
Tourists From the United States Nu-
merOus i'm EnEland's Capital.

From the London Telegraph.
The elements of Americanism every
where evident at present are about the only
refreshing feature of the dog days. The
enthusiasm of our transatlantic friends un-
consciously serves to span the wearisome
break in the seasons when Everybody
is out of town, and life is scarcely tolerabie
to the unconsidered victims whom business
enchains prisoners in the heat of the city.
Americans pervade every corner of the
metropolis, from the Cheshire Cheese, en-
ticed there by memories of johnson, to
Westminster Abbey, and their genial man
ner and free criticism infuse interest even
in a Londoner's mind regarding the ia
nous landmarks of the great capital with
which he is familiar. although familiarity
does not mean knowledge.
Bus men plying between Ludgate and
Victoria are most conscious of the Ameri-
can invasion, which reaches full tide to-
ward the end of August and lasts until
September closes. These worthless of the
whip are daily entertained with Yankee
praise and lavish allowance of adjectiveS,
and London contains no more willing, in
telligent or assiduOus guides. 1t is with
very evident pride they denote with a char
acteristic jerk of the whip places to be
seen and remembered. Let the American
having cause to patroniZe bus traversing
Park lane but ask his driver to point out
the houses of notabilities along the route,
ana ne Will nnQ ne mas struck FerltaDle
mine of unsuspected knowledge, freely and
fully given. With their usual thoughtful
ness, the authorities have arranged to
illustrate to our visitors what has grown
to be the normal condition of our streets.
The Strand Is In that state of upheaval to
which the Londoner has grown accustomed,
but can never become reconciled, but this
may only be to enable our honored visitors
to gain good view of the Thames and the
embankment from the airy top of the
penny bus, or to acquaint them with that
labyrinth of hotels around Northumber-
land avenue which is the more or less
happy hunting ground Of SO many globe
trotters.
The percentage of American people in
England is no greater comparatively than
that of English people in Paris. New York
Switzerland or Italy, but they assert them
selves even more strongly than the Briton
abroad. albeit in more agreeable way.
Their mannerlSms of speech and dress are
unmistakable The adoption of the short
tweed skirt among travelling American wo-
men is as sensible as 1t appears universal
The typical American girl whom we meet
every day in town is wearing a stout pair
of boots, a heavily bound skirt, for the
most part lavishly stitched round the hem,
and gray or blue in color, cashmere
blouse of liberal dimensions, the inevitable
belt and appendaged purse, also of liberal
dimensions, and fiat, slightly trimmed hat
carelessly swathed in yelling or silk. She
pearance, and from a comfortable. hygienic
point of view the shortened skirt as worn
by our younger cousins is delightful: 1t
very clearly demonstrates the fact that
every woman cannot wear a short skirt

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The local chess club has suffered more
than usual this summer from the holiday
trips Of the regular habitues. Just about
all whom business would allow have
taken a longer or shorter run away from
town, and even the pleasures Of the chess
table. DR.. Berrman is off on trip to his
old home in Germany. Mr.. Boykin has
been at Buffalo since the opening of the
exposition. with the exhibit Of the bureau
of education; Mr.. Walker is in the re-
Gently opened territory in Oklahoma. Mr..
Lyman is at his summer home at Ashe-
vile, N. c.: Mr.. Dunham is trying his
fortune in Alaska, and many others are
trying the virtues Of the summer resorts.
After the ball club left. one who had not
been seen for some time, was asked where
he had been. "Oh. 1 have been summer
ing at the ball park" he replied.
The correspondence match between the
players of New York and Pennsylvania is
making headway. and promises to be some
thing memorable. The entries are limited
to these two states. The lists and pairings
are expected to be ready by the end of
this month.
One of the most enterprising clubs of the
world is the Hastings Of England. At the
beginning of summer it hired private car
and made a trip of several weeks, arrang-
ing to stop at some important place and
engage the club there almost every day,
and generally winning majority Of the
games. The party consisted of thirty-four,
twenty Of whom were match players two
of whom are ladies. The club has done
this now for several seasons.

In spite Of all that has been written in
spite of books, magazine articles and news
paper articles In spite of lectures. stereop-

mains that the bulk of people on the MAIN

Owning Forests for Revenue,

From Meehan's Monthly.
Ii is said there are towns In Germany
which are free from taxation by reason Of
forest profits-forests owned by the city
corporations. American cities dare not
own anything. When the writer opened
a campaign for small parks in PHILADELPHIA
the plan was to take a large tract. make
a small park of a portion and then sell
the adjacent properties at improved figures
to buy more plots with. But the law de-
partment decided that the city could not
enter into real estate operations. Indeed
1t is doubtful whether any city In America
can do anything long but raise taxes ON
real estate Small towns can do better
than larger ones. When they grow to a
size that nobody knows who's who" ex-
opt as designing persons tell them, fgno-
rance or even corruption rules Imagine
