PUBLIC e1BBETs IN ENGLAND.
They Were Frequently Seen by Tour
tsts q Century Ago with Bodies
Swinging.

Even if the bicycle had been invented
100 years ago touring could hardly
have become very popular, at all events
for solitary cyclists. The old guide
books were by no means cheerful read
ing. A run from London to East Grin
stead, distance of five or six and
twenty miles, would have taken the
wheelman past three gibbets, and it
was just as likely as not that from
one or the other of them body would
be swinging in the wind. Up till the
beginning of the century just closed
the galiows was almost as frequent
a landmark as finger posts OF public
houses have become now, says the Lon
don News.
The traveller approaching York is
directed by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out to Durham
is "betweea the gallows and Croke-
hill" Going out Of Wells you "cross
the brook and pass by the gallows."
Any Number of such directions can be
CLEANED from the old books for the
guidance of travellers 100 years ago,
and as these interesting objects were
put up and the dead bodies of malefae,
tors left upon them for the special edi-
ficattnH of footpads and highwaymen
there was Il eNggestivenessa about them
thatmus have given q special piqnancy
to cycle touring if 1t had been in vogue
at that time.

TRADERS MAY ADVERTISE.
London Court Decides in Favor
of the Enterprislng
Tradexman.

On recent Saturday the London
county counoil was beaten in case
affecting advertising signs. One Hull,
the tenant of house in Seven Sis
tiers road had been fined by the petty
magistrate for attixing an advertis-
ing sign on the front wall of his
premises. The ground of the al
legged otfense laid by the London
county council was that the sign pro.
jected beyond the building line and
constituted breach of the councils
bylaws.
The case was appealed. and dur.
ing the hearing of the appeal by
Mr.. Hull amusement was caused by
questions put to counsel for the
London county council by one of the
judges. For instance, the question
was raised by his lordship whether
if poor man hung bird cage out
side a window it would be consid-
cred projection from the building
line.
Again, the judge thought it might
be argued that a coat-of-arms af-
fixed by a royal warrant-holder on
the front of his building came under
the bylaw regarding projections.
Flags hung out on gala days, too, his
lordship merrily suggested, might be
banned in the same way. The court
decided that there had been no in
fringement of the building act, and
ordered the magistrates decision to
be reversed.

DIR. MARY AND WI TING FANG
Difficult to Decide WAe Came Out
Ahead in the en-.
counter.

Congressman Smith, of Illinois, tells
good story of an enooAnter of wit
that took place between DR.. Mary
Walker and the Chinese minister not
long ago, says the Chicago Chronicle.
"You missed out on the best story
of the reception" said Mr.. Smith,
toying with his long mustache. "You
know. the minister stood in the east
room after greeting the president and
held regular reception of his own.
Everybody knows the minister's in
clination to ask questions, and when
saw DR.. Mary Walker in her male
costume advancing toward WI I
knew there would be something do
ing. She was presented to WI. WI
looked at her in surprise, if not as
constituent, and then blurted out:
"'You are ladee?' and when she
said, with dignity, that she was, wa
asked: Then why do you wear ems
clothes?'
CDR. Mary looked at the minister
for only a second. and then retorted:
"'You are man,? And when the
minister had declared that he was
she retorted: Then why do you wear
women's clothes?
"Wu was taken back for 4 moment
only, ard then replied:
Because the custom of my coun-
try allows me to do co.
"Dr. Mary heard, and then as she
switched her head and walked away
she said, proudly:
"'Well, the liberty Of my country
allows me to wear mems Clothes
| That closed the incident"

D1sM1ssEs THE SUIT.
Decision in the Case Brought at SeY
Orleans to Prevent Shipment of
Mules to South Africa.

New Orleans. April 15.-Judge Par
lange in the United States superior
court Saturday handed down de-
cision dismissing the suit brought
by the Boer representatives here to
prevent the shipment of mules and
horses out of New Orleans to the
British army in South Africa. The
decision is lengthy one.
Judge Parlange holds that the
transactions between citizens of the
United States and the British gov
eminent We're conducted under the
order of private citizenship and that
the courts had absolutely no juris-
diction to interfere. The horses and
mules, the court said, were bought
in a neutral territory.

established itself in the good graces
of it's mistress. Mrs. Williamfeiter,
says local informant, is 6s years old,
and after many years Of toiling over
an old-fashioned carpet loom, and by
washing, she accumulated about $500
in currency. Not wishing to trust her
small fortune in the bankers hands,
she hid it in the smokehouse. On 60

make another deposit, she discovered
her hard-earned money had mysteri-
ously disappeared. She supposed it
had been stolen, but few days later
her old tabby cat came mewing into
the house carrying good-sized rat
between her teeth, piece of ten
dollar bill protruding from the
rodents stomach. Mrs. Williamfeiter
Investigated, and recovered the
money, excepting $50. The house cat
is now the best-fed member of the
family.

WHERE PURE AIR IS FOUND.
In High Places and Far Away from
the Dust and Smoke Of
Cities

The chemical composition of the at
mosphere differs little, if at all,
wherever the sample be taken;
whether it be on the high Alps or at
the surface of the sea the relation Of
oxygen to nitrogen and other con-
stituents is the same, says scientific
authority. The favorable effects,
therefore, of change of air are not
to be explained by any difference in
the proportion of its gaseous con-
stituents. One important difference,
hawc-er, is the meteorological one.
'Che air of high attitudes contains no
microbes, and is, in fact, sterile, while
near the ground and some 100 feet
above it microbes are abundant. In
the air of towns and crowded places
not only does the microbic impurity
increase, but other impurities, such
as the products of combustion of
coal, accrue also. Several investi-
gators have found traces Of hydro
gen and certain hydrocarbons in the
air and especially in the air of pine,
oak and birch forests. 1t is to these
of essential oils, to which the curative
properties of certain health resorts
are ascribed.
Thus the locality of fir forest is
said to give relief in diseases of the
respiratory tract. But, all the same,
these traces of essential oil and aro-
matte products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not necessary constituents
of the air. AS recent analyses have
shown, these bodies tend to disap-
pear in the air as higher altitude
is reached. until they disappear alto
gether. 1t would seem, therefore. that
microbe, hydrocarbons and entities
other than oxygen and hydrogen.
and, perhaps, we should add argon,
are only incidental to the neighbor-
hood of human industry, animal life,
damp and vegetation.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
More About the Details of His West-
ern JOurney-yisit to Yellow
stone Park.

Washington, April 15.-Several mat
sers in connection with the itinerary
Of the presidents western trip were
decided Saturday. Former Senator
Carter and Mr.. Bache, representing
the transportation company of the
Yellowstone park, arranged for the
trip through the park. Usually the
park is not opened to tourists until
the middle of June, owing to the fact
that the park is at an elevation of 1000
feet, and is not completely clear of
snow until that date. For this occa-
sion, however. it will be opened this
year a fortnight earlier. The presiden-
tial party will reach Butte, Mont, May
IS and will lunch there, proceeding in
the afternoon to Helena. where dinner
will be had. The party will reach the
park on the morning of May 30 and
spend three days travelling through
it. In this brief time all the features
of the park cannot be visited and sew
eral of the famous geysers will neces-
sarily be missed. But the plan is to
have the party see the best of the
scenery and the most picturesque of
the great natural wonders in which
the park abounds. Upon leaving the
park on the evening of May 81 the
party will double back to Anaconda
and leave thence southwark for Salt
Lake City. The Kansas itinerary will
include stops at Topeka, Emporia, OF
tawa, Baldwin, Lawrence and possibly
Junction City.
Capt. Pitcher, of the First cavalry,
now stationed at the Preside, San

Washington, April 15.-Arrange-
ments for the trip of the Ohio delega-
ton in congress to San Francisco upon
the occasion of the launching of the
battleship Ohio are practically com
pleted. The delegation will leave Gin
cinnati at 1880 a. m. May for New
Orleans, whence they will proceed to
San Francisco over the Southern Pa
cific. After the launching they will
go north to Portland and Seattle and
return over the Northern Pacific, ar
irving in Columbus about June 1. It
is understood that neither Senator
Hanna nor Senator Foraker will ac-
company the party. The representa-
tives who will not go are Messrs. Bur-
ton, Weaver, Van Voorhees, and Kerr.

The boom in horse breeding which
began with the outbreak of the war
No.. u.. with Spain and be-
came more pro-
nounced when hos
tilities began in South Africa is not by
any means ended yet. 1t is estimated
that about 100, 900 horses will be need
ed for the $4,000 mounted troops Great
Britain is now raising for African
service, and the larger number OF
these must come from this country.
The outlook for the horse dealers is
excellent, but meanwhile Uncle Sam
must pay more than ever for his cav
airy horses, even SO tempting an offer
rs $145 per head not being enough to
provide sufficient supply. Until ma
tions go to war with their cavalry
mounted on bicycles or automobiles
there does not seem to be any reason
for the horse breeders to feel any
alarm for the future.

A late report says that in the Pecos
valley, south from Roswell to Bar
stow, Tex, distance of 40 miles,
there will be planted this year 1900
acres of cantaloupes, with an approx
innate estimated yield of 1000 car
loads of the melons, or something less
than car load to the acre. The crop
will be shipped direct to Chicago, and
will have an average car load value of
S45o-the minimum per car load being
$500, with u maximum of $500. The
enormous growth of the Pecos valley
cantaloupe industry is readily seen in
the fact that is car loads of the mel.
ons were marketed from the valley
last year.
