The calibre Of Senator Murphy j.
Foster never doomed up better than
in the late vote in Congress over the
Philippine tariff bill. While Congress-
men Davey, Robertson and Broussard
cringed and todied to the monopolist-
ic measure by voting with the Repub-
licans for it, Senator Foster said It
was q Republican measure, and he
was Democrat, and therefore he OPP
posed it. His out-spoken and crisp
cutting to the core Of the matter may
not suit the sugar barons Of Louisi-
ana, who doubtless used every effort
to secure his support, but the Demo-
Gratis Of his State will honor him for
standing true to his party principles.

This issue closes the year 1901 for
the Chronicle, and before we go to
press again the New Year will have
been ushered in. As the prosperity Of
the past season has been generally
felt by all of our readers, we desire to
congratulate them upon the bright
prospects the glad Happy New Year
brings to them. Crops have been
good, prices realized have been fair,
and altogether We have had an unnsu-
ally favorable season in the year 1901.
The Chronicle has shared in the gen.
eral good fortune, advertisers having
been liberal, and our subscription list
having increased quite goodly num-
Der. In response to the patronage
attained we have decided to increase
the Chronicle to q 7-column paper,
which will be done in about six weeks,
as 1t will probably take that long to
get everything in readiness for the
change. Trusting this enlargement
will lie mutually profitable and pleas
ant to publisher and patrons, we ne
turn thanks to our many friends for
their long-continued favors and wish
one and all happy and prosperous
New Year.

West Indian Hurricane,

The United States weather bureau has lately published a bulletin on West Indian hurricanes prepared by Prof. Garratt. A list of recorded hurricanes since 1493 is given and the tracks of recent hurricanes are mapped. It ap- pears that the hurricane months are between July and October, although such storms may occur in every month of the year. An examination of the maps shows that in September the tracks of such storms approach very near to the eastern coast of Florida, while in the other months the tracks lie further to the east. The study of these storms is of importance to our own territory and not only to the West Indian islands. Porto Rico is. as is we'll known, subject to visitations of the sort.-Scientific American.

Dog with q Broken Ron.,

The long bones of the dog are those Y. hich he is most liable to break, or, rather, to have broken for him, as the injuries are usually traceable to direct violence. When the parts of the broken bone are properly brought together, the reparative process is almost always remarkably rapid in the dog. because he seems to understand that he mus t rot interfere with the injured limb, and willingly keeps quiet. John Wood. roffe Hill, the noted English veterinary surgeon and a writer of authority on ''The Dog; Its Management and Dis tases," says of fractures that ''the treatment consists in reducing the sep arated portions to their proper posi- ton and main taining them there, when so reduced, by the application of splints and bandages. Splints may be com rosed of wood, pasteboard, leather, or gutta percha, the first three of which are retained in position by bandaging, but the last is made soft by hot water and then molded to the limb. To take the place of splints, bandages may be soaked in gum, starch or plaster of paris. Our Animal Friends.

Merv, City of the Desert.

At nine o'clock at night another sen
 sation. Merv, once the Queen of the World,' once a household word in England, thanks to O'Donoyan and Marvin and Vambery, as the possible cause of war with Russia, whose alb. sorption of Central Asia brought her here in 1884, just a year before parlia- ment, at Gladstone's behest, yoteo s Il, 100000 of war money at a sitting in view of Russia's next step south. Now the whole oasis of Merv, one of the most fertile spots in the whole world, is as Russian as Riga, and when you say "Merv" in Central Asia you mean long, low, neat, stone railway station, lit by q score of bright lamps in a TOW, where the train changes en- zines, while in a busy telegraph office a dozen operators sit before their clicking instruments; and if you are a Russian officer or official you mean also brand new town where a pesti- lent malarial fever is sure to catch you sooner or later, and very likely to kill you.-Henry Norman, in Scribner's.

The Water Dog and HI. Way.

Some animals spend their lives un. derground and only see the hght by accident. One of these is the water dog, which the farmers years ago be- lieved kept open the water veins that fed their wells. When drawn up in the bucket it was often put back lest the well should dry up. It looks like very clumsy lizard, with big shoul- ders and a tail something like a rats. It has round, flat head, wide mouth, lumpish feet, slinny coat of muddy brown and dirty white, and apparently no eyes. Its motion is provokingly slow. On very rare oc- casions, during a freshet, when the ground is soaked everywhere, it may come to the surface, for it can crawl through very narrow creyice.-Lit- tie Chronicle.
