have passed away, but in the meantime
| IT is well to remind the public of the
present day that all transitions are
painful, and that the human beings who
act as pioneers in the great work of
eliminating various parts of the body
are likely to suffer considerably I'm
less one is prepared 10 suffer for the
possible ultimate good of the race, it is
we'll, therefore, to remain peacefully
and unprogressively in the state where
unto one has been called by Providence
There is good in progress. but there is
also much good in conservatism.
1t is undeniable, for example. that the
person who possesses a complete set of
teeth in a state Of preservation has
happier life than the one whose molars
are gradually and painfully, and often
extensively. disintegrating. When the
time comes for all our food to be re
duced to liquid form. teeth will be I'M
necessary; but now they are very use
fui indeed Moreover. the toothIess
style of beauty is not popular at PRES
emit and some people have an ineradica-
BILE objection to false teeth. II is the
part of worldly wisdom therefore, to
preserve the natural furnishings of
ones mouth by all possible precautions.
This might be done more easily if
science. instead of paying attention to
improvements in dentistry. would dis
cover some different kinds of foods
which are good for the teeth. and also
palatable, and if these foods could be
made cheap and popular.
The surgeon Of today finds it possible
to remove various parts of the human
body without lasting harm to the pa
tient, and for this service he is paid
large sums of money. For some reason
or other. the people who pay these fees
would not, apparently, give a penny to
be taught how to avoid the complica-
tions which make such operations
necessary. Some of these diseases, it is
true, are unpreventable. being the result
of heredity. accident or unforeseen mis-
fortunes Of one kind or another, but
many moro could be prevented if they
were taken in time. The average hu-
man being. living under proper condi-
lions. IS not liable to die of anything
but old age: the trouble is that nine
tenths of the people of the present day
do not live under the right conditions,
though they are nearer doing so than
ever before in the history of the world.
The future of the human race depends
largely upon the choice which the pres
ent generation makes-whether it
chooses a fragmentary existence or a
sound one

MR.. DALzELL ON CUBE
Opposition to Annexation Emsnaf-
ing From the Politicians.

Representative John Dalzell of Penn
sylvania called on the President yester-
day to give the results of his recent visit
to Cuba.
II was surprised to note the great i'm
provement in Cuban conditions. MIR.
DalzeIl said. Two years ago when-I
was in Havana the streets were crowded
with beggars. On this visit We did not
meet single beggar. Two years ago the
streets of Havana were filthy, and there
was almost no kind of sanitation, to say
the least. but today Havans is one of the
cleanest cities in the world. The streets
are as clean as the streets of Washing
ten. 1t is surprising to see what those
army officers have accomplished. II ap-
peared to me that the great majority of
the Cuban people-all. In fact. except the
politicians-are in favor of annexation.
There is a general willingness. however.
to adopt the Plat amendment OF course
this willingness is not shared by the pro-
fessional politicians in Cuba, but nothing
can satisfy them Taking it all in all.

factory and promising condition"

Fragmentarv Existence

With the advance of the science OF
surgery, it has proved possible for per-
sons 70 live after being deprived OF one
and another parts of the human or
Ganism which were formerly considered
Indispensable. There is a patient in a
hospital near New York who has sur
yived the removal Of his stomach, and
is said TO be doing well.
Such incidents have suggested to
speculative minds the question whether

human race to dispense altogether with

PROFITS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Postmaster Gordon Makes u Report
on the Chicago OAice

Postmaster Charles L. Gordon, of Chi
cago. has transmitted TO the Postmaster
General a report covering the operations
of the Chicago postoffice for the four
years ended March 81 last. His statement
indicates a net profit to the Government
of about sl5,0000o0 for the four years, an
increase of about S4,5OO,0Oo over the re-
ceipts of the previous four years. The
report contains many recommendations as
to the operation of postoffices with re-
ceipts of over five million year
OF the total receipts of the period COW
cred by the report-s23, 5I3 ,3s7-the sum of
s3,2o8,l0i was received in the year 1897 and
s7,O4S,sl6 in 1900. which is an advance of
"a per cent The total receipts for the
four years ending in 1896 was $40, 016 SIS,
making the advance of the Office In four
years about "A per cent. The total re-
ceipts at the Chicago office are given as
one-Hfteenth of the aggregate receipts
from the entire postal service, or equal to
the combined receipts from Detroit Cleve-
land. Minneapolis. St. Paul, Jersey City.
Buffalo, New Orleans Louisville, NIilwau-
kee, Atlanta. and Cincinnati. The ex-
penses of this business average about 50

iron properties in Alabama, in which bar

1t is understood that Messrs. Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. of New York, have been
asked to finance the deal. Gen Samuel
Thomas, of New York is a leading in
fiuence in the negotiations The compa-
MES concerned are as follows:
Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
Company; Tennessee Coal. Iron and
Railroad Company; Sloss-Sheffield Steel
and Iron Company: three furnaces of the
Republic Iron and Steel Company, and
the Woodward Iron Company. These cor
porations dominate the Alabama district.
The Alabama Consolidated stock is pooled
with committee of Baltimoreans and
not on the market.
1t is said the Sloss- Sheffield Company
has fixed as the basis upon which it
would enter the proposed consolidation
the prices of 100 for the preferred and 10
for the common stock. Officials of the
Alabama Consolidated. while not denying
the statement that move is being made
to effect the proposed consolidation, say
that no formal offer has been received
1t is the belief in well-informed circles
that the present move to consolidate Ala
bama coal and iron properties will be fol-
lowed by q still larger combination.

THE STATE FLOWER OF TEXAS.

rom the new York lf1Dune.l
The State flower of Texas is to be the
blue bonnet. or buffalo clover a wild
flower which grows in the greatest pro-
fusion over the whole State, at times
covering many acres with a carpet of
blue. 1t is, seen in masses, n most effec-
tive blossom. Botanists call it ''Lupinus
subcanosus," and say that it belongs to
the great family of the leguminosae. In
common parlance, it is one of the COM
paratively humble pulse family and is
about the same as the wild lupine, which
grows freely in sandy places throughout
the North during the summer, beginning
in late June and lasting until September
The blue bonnet grows about a foot
high. The flowers cluster on a two-inch
raceme. They are a deep blue in color,
resembling pea blossoms. with a white
or yellowish centre. Scientists call them
truly papilionaceous:' children translate
this by saying that they are Just like
butterflies" Thoreau, writing of the lu-
pine in Massachusetts. said:

RODE ON FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
A Des Moines Man Who Worked In
StephensOn's Engine Shop.

\
In a modest little cottage in Des Moines
there has lived for neatly forty-seven
years an engineer with history worth
telling. This is Edward Entwistle. who
was an apprentice in the engineering
shop ofGeorge Stephenson, when the first
locomotive. the Rocket" was construct
ed. and who afterward ran the pioneer
locomotive regularly over the Liverpool
and Manchester Railroad for two years.
and the boy was apprenticed at the age
of fourteen to learn the trade of ma
chinist. He was working at his trade
when the competition for the best loco
motive to run over the new road was an
nOunced. and he. as well as all the 9TH
ers in the machine shop, was greatly in
terested inethe building of the Rocket"
When the prize of $3.50 was won by
Stephenson and II was directed that the
Rocket should begin making regular
trips over the thirty-one miles of road,
helper was desired, and young Emit
wistle was given permission by his master
TO accompany the engine on its first trip.
He did make the trip on the engine and
on the return had the honor of holding
the throttle half way. He had so att
tracted the attention of Stephenson and
the head of the Manchester and LIVER
pool Railroad. that he was regularly EN-
ptuyea on the engine and ran II for TWO
years while IL was used largely in hauling
material for the company and for the
general buziness of the company. He
was still apprentice and not ma ster
of his own time. He finally became nerv-
Gus from the rocking and jolting he re-
ceived while on the locomotive and re-
ton. Mr.. Entwistle has lived in Des

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
English Tourists Find Pleasure in
Sahara Oases.
(From the London Daily Mail.)

Nowhere within such easy reach of
England can the Oriental world, with all
its dreaminess and vivid color. be seen
so free from Western influence as in
southern Algeria, which has the desert
for it's bounds. Then here's to the desert
and to Ell Kantara and Biskra in particu-
lar. which lord 1t over all the other GASES
and form the keys to the Sahara. For
such a weekend as one can spend there
it is nothing that It involves over three
days of travel. Leaving London on Mon
day you can get to Marseiles in twenty
four hours, and another twenty-four
hours will land you at Algiers or Philip
peville while Thursday will see you bath
ed in sunshine and blue sky. and il you
wish, in hot sulphur springs with tenn
perature of L degrees Fahrenheit. At
whichever port you land you at once
plunge into the Arab world, or. rather,
it dashes at you-a splendid wave of color
consumed with the desire to carry yous
baggage.
There is plenty to do at Biskra. A
month might easily be spent in the mar
ket place watching the Arabs as they ply
their trade. Caravans are constantly
passing in and out of the oasis. and these
are full of interest. Outside the town is
negro village. Other GASES are near at
hand and can be reached on foot Those
who want to do a real bit OF desert travel
can go south TO Tuggurt, a three days
Journey (223 kilometres) by diligence, and
as they go they will be certain to see
that wonderful optical delusion, the mi
rage.
