1t is a good thing to be O. leading
lawyer, and profitable in many par
ticulars. Mr.. Evarts' abilities as a
lawyer were several times of signal
value to his country as well as to him
self. His labors in the Johnson I'm
peachment trial and in the Alabama
case are felt to have been great public
services. But he helped his genera
ton in another way by affording it a
great deal of amusement. A good part
of his fame rests on his jokes. and to
them is due, no doubt, very much of
the kindly sentiment his generation
and ours. too-had for him. For
years he was the foremost Yale man,
and that was another source of his
extended reputation. He worked very
hard, he earned a great deal of money,
he raised large family. he was ad-
mired, honored. and esteemed. and he
made some imperishable Jokes. II is
hard to spare such man. But it
seems that Mr.. Evarts felt that he
had done all the work and had all the
fun that We're coming in this world,
and was anxious to be off and about
whatever concerns may follow those
of earth. The last story that is told
of him is of a minister who talked
long to him. as he lay abed. about the
Philippines. Don't you care about
the PhilipDines?" he asked him. mo"
was the dry response. "I'm not going
there, anyway" Men smiled when
they spoke OF Mr. Evarts living; they
will smile when they think of him now
that he is gone; but the smile is
tribute, warmed and qualified just now
with regret that we have lost him.

DR.. Gaylord, of Buffalo, N. z, an
nounces that he has discovered the
organism or germ of cancer and is
now to set about discovering a rem
edy to cure the disease. This follows
the usual course of modern bacter-
iology, which works from effect to
cause and thence to cure. The cancer
germ has been among the most stub
born of all the bacterial roots of dis
ease. Announcements of its discovery
have been made from time to time
for several years, but without being
followed by sufficient proof to war
rant a general belief. The present
declaration from Buffalo may meet
the fate of it's predecessors, although
it is made with q conservatism of
statement and an abundance Of refer
ences to warrant its provisional ac-
cept2nce, thinks the Washington Star.
There is less need for caution in such
a case than though the alleged dis
covery were of the long-sought cure
which would demand the most exact
proofs to lead the often fooled public
to accept it as truth.

Russian naval experts have been ex-
perimenting in the Finland Gulf with
charged Whitehead torpedoes-a novel
and costly method of scientific naval
inquiry not likely to be initiated on
an extensive scale. 1t has been demon
strated that a shot penetrating a
charged torpedo tube would not de-
tomato the explosive, but only destroy
the motive power of the projectile by
releasing the compressed air. A heavy
charge of gun cotton exploded near
the head OF another torpedo caused
wholesale edestructicn-the missile, shed
containing it, and a number of sheep
grazing near at hand having been
wiped out. In q subsequent test a
pontoon sheathed with heavy armor-
plate was blown into the air by a
single torpedo directed against the pro-
tecting armor. To thus supplement
theories of explosives by actual prac-
tice of $1150 per torpedo is clearly a
commendable feature of original naval
research.

The Disposal of Kitchen Wastes.

In a village where there is no ash
man the disposal of kitchen wastes
as well as ashes is always vexed
question. Kitchen refuse which a pig
will not consume cannot be burned or
cremated by the quantity in the coun-
try as it is in the city, where refuse
is carefully separated. and what is of
no other use is burned. 1t is injurious to
burn moist waste in the kitchen range
or furnace. 1t requires an extrava-
CANT use of coal to do so, and it pro-
duces a very disagreeable odor The
odor of burning garbage is so intoler-
able that it it strictly prohibited in
villages where the houses are near
together.
In the country. where there is room,
the best way of disposing of any
waste, like bones. old woollens or any
thing that shows by it's odor when
burning that it contains nitrogen, is
to bury it in deep pit for fertilizer.
Almost anything but metal can be
treated in this way. and if each time
a consignment of waste is buried it
is covered with twice as much wood
ashes as there is waste and garbage,
and about five times as much earth. it
gives no evidence OF itself. 1t should
be buried about year, and when it is
thoroughly rotted in this way it will
make a good fertilizer. If there are
not enough wood ashes about the
premises, mix one part of quicklime
and one part of common salsoda in
every five parts of waste. and five
times as much soil as there
is waste. The amount of kitchen
waste to be disposed of in
family is not large if dry litter"
about the grounds is burned. The
wastes treated as we have said will
make an excellent fertilizer for the
flower garden. and yields wonders of
bloom and fragrance for very little
trouble. Soil must be very literally
mixed with this compost when it is
dug up for it is too rich for ordinary
ferti)izqtion.-New York Tribune

The Value of Tact.

A story of the wonderful tact kind
ness and hospitality of one of the
leaders of Baltimore society, who died
recently, is told in the Baltimore Sun.
At one of her famous receptions q
rather awkward young man, with lit
tie social experience, accidentally
knocked over and smashed one OF a
pair of beautiful and costly vases.
Seeing his chagrin and embarrassment
the hostess Immediately put him at
his ease by declaring: "Oh, Mr.. -, 1
am so much obliged to you for break
ing that vase. l never did like it, and
l have Seen hoping that l could get
rid of it somehow. Now that you have
given me the excuse, | am going to
give myself the pleasure of smashing
the other one," which she accordingly
proceeded to do, although she priced
the vases highly.
1t is said that to a shop girl or a
theatre ticket seller or any one else
who did ker some favor or act of cour-
age, her thanks were so charming that
the person thanked fairly worshiped
her thereafter.

his single pistol ball. 1t struck the cap

them and commanded them to throw
down their rifles. He captured a part
of them and brought them back to
