The White Ant.

Two peculiar cases have recently
been discovered In Baltimore in tha
form of the white ant" Walnut joists
in one of the best built residences ana
also the platform Of q public school
have been found honeycombed by these
insects. The white ant Germes f1a-
vipes), however, is not white at all, nor
is it red, as the common ant, but sort
of black. In the course Of it's life Ii
develops wings, but is unable to fly,
which, when attempted, results in the
wings breaking off. Its most destruc-
tive work Is done before the wings ap-
pear. From the surface the work OF
decay is not apparent as the insect en-
ters the timbers at the ends and bores
through lengthwise with the grain, the
wood only being held together by f.
bers. Many instances are on record
Of the ruin caused by these little pests.

The Parson as e. Pacemaker.

Rev. Elijah Kellogg did not confine
his good works to the composition OF
"Spartacus" and the preparation OF
capital books for boys. He was FORE
most in practical benevolence, ana
never so happy as when helping out his
neighbors. One Sunday morning, jusA
before the sermon, he made this an
nouncement:
''The Widow Jones Grass Is getting
pretty long l shall be there with my
scythe, rake and pitchfork at 4'o'clock
tomorrow morning, and 1 hope every
male member of my congregation villa
be there, too"
In answer to this broad hint the Wild
ow Jones' field was we'll filed the next
morning. Among the volunteers was g.
Captain Griggs, who stood six feet tive
in his stockings, and weighed about
two hundred and fifty pounds.
"Parson," said he. '1ook out for me-.
Pm goin' to cut your corners this morn
in"
Mr.. Kellogg was small man, weigh
ing barely one hundred and thirty
pounds, but he was an old hand with
the scythe, and before long the captaiA
lay under q tree, knocked out by his
pacemaker. And the 'parson" used to
tell the story with great glee, always
concluding with:
HE didn't cut my corners that MORN
ing"

SETTLERS IN TORTURE.

Heat and Exhaustion.

Oklahoma Registry p SITS Scenes of
Heat and Exhaustion.
The first day of the opening of the reg
lstration for the waiting thousands Of
prospective settlers of Indian lands at
Fort Sill and Ell Reno was a day of dis
satisfaction, of fearful heat and of num-
bers Of cases of exhaustion from those
unable to bring their camping outfits with
them and were compelled to stand in the
long line day and night in order that they
may not lose their chance Of following
out the rigorous conditions imposed by
the government. The force provided by
the government could not register one
tenth Of the people. At the six different
fling places the men to file first were
from Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Wis
consin and California. All night thou
sands stood In line. The temperature
was 100 in the shade, but those in the
line had no shade and water was scarce
and food poor in quality, exorbitant in
price and hard to get.
The certificates issued to the appli-
cants will be sent to Washington and
passed upon, then returned and the draw
ing Of land will begin. AS each legal
settlers claim is called he will be al
lowed to file upon the land of his choice
at the local United States land office
Many had waited on the border Of the
new country for two years or more and
the last night of their long vigil was
the most trying they had experienced.

OFFICIALS ARE CENSURED.
Indiana polls Grand Jury Makes Report
ON Insanity Trust.

The indianapolis grand jury made re
port on the alleged insanity trust. 1t
found that, while the law had been
abused, there was no evidence Of Grim
inal intent and hence no indictments
could be returned against the parties ac-
cused. The report says:
"There has been no violation Of the
laws of the State Of Indiana, but we are
also Of the opinion that the law has
been abused. We feel that DR.. Chris
tan, police surgeon, and William Lock
man, justice of the peace, deserve cen
sure for their conduct In this matter for
the reason that they are trying to con-
troll all the inquests possible in Marion
County for the pecuniary interests in
volved. The jury finds the insanity law
deficient in that INSCRIPTIONS men can
obtain public money without violating
the law"

Drafts for $4,000 handed to United
States Minister Leishman of CONSTANT

of the indemnity claims Of the United
States against the Turkish government,
were received Wednesday by Secretary
Hay. The payment Is regarded by the
State Department as distinct diplo-
matte victory, as some of the claims have
been pending more than eight years. The
victory, If such it may be called, is hol-
low one, as the total Of the claims against
Turkey greatly exceeds the amount ac-
tually paid, but the State Department.

All Records for the Heat in Chicago
Are Shattered.

Wednesday was the hottest day Chi
cago ever experienced. The thermome-
tiers In the Auditorium tower registered
1927 degrees at o'clock in the after
noon, the highest previous maximum tenn
perature having been made On July 1t,

but which went into the printed record
as 100 degrees. During the hottest part
Of the day the humidity measured only
80 per cent, while at o'clock 1t had fall
en- to 33 per cent This condition prob
ably kept a great many persons from
being Frustrated.
One of the features of the days heat
was the wind that blew over the baked
prairies of Illinois and Iowa. 1t started
at a ten-mile gait at Z o'clock In the
morning, and the mercury began to CLIMB
the tube at the rate Of 3 to 4 degrees an
hour until the high point was reached
at 8 o'clock. At that hour the wind was
blowing at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour. The street thermometer registered
at least 105, and some of those which
were hung where the sun had been dur
ing the morning ran up as high as Ito
degrees The lake breeze which visits
Chicago like protecting angel during
hot spells played over the city, begin
ming at Z o'clock at night, sending the
mercury from 90 degrees to &C degrees
The hot wave Wednesday extended
over Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana,
Ohio and part Of Michigan. The highest
temperature recorded during the day was
1O4 degrees, at Dubuque, Davenport and
st. Louis. 1t was 102 degrees at Spring
field, H.; Omaha and Concordia. IAN
sas City and Des Moines recorded lOO

City 90 degrees was the record. 1t was
o. degrees at Detroit, Indianapolis,
Lou Lie. Cairo and Nashville, 81 de-
grees sat Cincinnati, and 90 degrees at
Cleveland and Huron. 1t was only "a

ington, and 80 degrees at New York and
Philadelphia At Buffalo it was only
IS degrees The people Of Milwaukee en-
joyed temperature of SO degrees. At
o'clock at night the temperature In Chi
cago had dropped to Ga degrees. The
coolest place on the map was at Duluth
where it was only 66 degrees during the
warmest part Of the day.

DR.. Hall Says Too Much of 1t Units
Them for Motherhood.
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
University caused a sensation before the
council - education in Detroit by de-
clarins that higher education untitled
young women Cor wifehood and mother
hood. Another statement that stirred
his auditors was that boys should be al
lowed to use slang freely. On the higher
education of women DR.. Hall said
DO not misunderstood me. l consider
woman fully as broad and as worthy Of
cultivation of the highest kind as man.
She is broader in spirit and more in touch
with the human race as a whole.
1t may even be that woman, like the
female in many other species, is becom-
ing stronger and more numerous, forcing
man to the puny, insignificant animal
that IS seen in lower species in the male
but the woman of higher education, as it
is given at present, will not become the
mother Of the future race"
This doctrine met hot opposition from
Col. +. w. Parker Of Chicago. Col.
Parker said:
The day may come when this idea Of
education will go into effect. l don't
Know when, but l do know, thank heav.
en-, that before that day l shall be dead
and gone.

idea Of the education of women. l have

England as She is Perverted.

The boast Of Americans has been
that no matter where you may go in
any part of the United States, there is
very little difficulty in understanding
the dialect.
Oregon may talk with Florida, or
Maine with Arizona, without the con-
fusion that arises in the various coun-
ties In England. But If q New York
woman Is to be believed, a new Ian
guage Is springing up in the meropo-
lis which promises to develop the worst
phases Of Anglomania.
When she answered a summons to
the front door, she encountered small
boy who briefly remarked that he had
come for "de foyndish."
"The what?
ode foyndish."
"Well," she said, in desperation, II
don't know what you want, but am
quite sure l haven't got it. Who sent
you?
Ode fogst De dogst sent me fur de
foyndish."
This did not mend matters, and the
boy was going down the steps when
light suddenly burst.upon the woman's
mind, and she remembered that she had
asked the florist to send for her fern
dish. The boy was recalled, the dish
was brought, and the amenities were
restored.

CHINESE DENTISTRY.
Profession in Which the CeIestials
Have Not Made Much Progress.

Have Not Made Much Progress.
II the Chinese can boast that moth
ing Is new to them, and that all the
arts and sciences are old stories In the
Celestial Kingdom, 1t is still true that
for operations in dentistry an American
or European would hardly care to so
to q Ohinaman. In spite of their boasts,
the Chinese have not been slow in
recognizing the superiority Of Ameri-
can dentistry, although there are some
who adhere strictly to ancient meth
DDS, and the New York Evening Post
AYERS that every year one or two Chi
nese dentists Of the old school come to
New York, and remain until their Gus
toners have had their teeth "put In or
DER
The work Is ludicrously primitive.
The operator extracts all teeth with his
fingers, and 1t must be admitted that
his success Is astonishing. His dexter
ity is due to years Of practice. From
youth to manhood he is trained to pull
pegs from wooden board. This train
ing changes the aspect Of the hand, and
gives the student q finger grip amazing
in it's strength, equivalent in fact to a
lifting power of three or four hundred
pounds.
For toothache he employs opium,
peppermint Oil, cinnamon Oil and Glove
Oil. Sometimes he fills teeth, but he
does it so bunglingly that the filings
stay in only a few months.
An element of superstition runs
through all the work. According to the
system, all dental woes are brought on
by tooth worms. The nerve pulp Is
such a worm, and is always shown to
the patient. For humbuggtng pur-
poses, also, the dentist carries about In
his pocket some white grubs, and after
he has extracted a tooth he shows
grub to the sufferer as the cause Of all
the trouble.
The position Of the dentist Of this
class is not very lofty among his coun-
trymen, and he is regarded as halfway
in social Importance between a barber
and laborer, which is certainly
great injustice to an honest laborer.

HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN.
A Negro Boy Arrested, Charged With Stealing
Thsn from Mrs. J. T. MAYNARD.

Isaiah Price, a negro boy, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer j. c..

il charge of stealing a horse and buggy
belonging to Mrs. j. T. Maynard of Full
ton Hill which was taken from in front
OF Clay-Street Church on Sunday.
Shortly before the services in the church
closed, the negro united the horse, jumped
in the buggy, and after asking and get
ting the assistance of several
Dung men in arranging the har-
ness. he drove off, going toward the
West-End.
When the services closed Mrs Maynard.
OF course. could not find her horse. and
when it was learned that the negro had
driven off with her property. one of the
young men who had helped the negro ar
range the harness borrowed q buggy from
one of those present and .rove away In

lowed. finding him with .-rs. Maynard
RIG at a colored church some miles out.
While he was making inquiries concerning
the boy n crowd got around him. and in
the confusion the negro again got into
the buggy and drove back toward the city.
The horse and buggy was LOCATED later
near River View, where l. had been left
by the negro.
