FACTS Anour OLD LACE.

In fixing the approximate date of
any given piece of lace it is well to
remember that machine-made thread
was not used until after the beginning
of the 18th century. Before that time
the threads ran in length of about 20
inches, for the worker could stretch
no farther than her distaff, and had to
break off and join again; If after un-
raveling some 25 inches of thread no
joint is found the lace is surely after
the introduction of machine-made
thread. The brides ornee' alone are
enough to go by; in the 18th century
the bar had only knot or dot as or.

A Community of Rents.

Some people live in New York, 9TH
ers exist. 1t is written that a major
ity of our citizens never owned a
home. They live in rented flats or
houses all their lives, and do not know
the meaning of possession Many mil
lionaires dwell in hired residences.
Their homes are in other states, but
they must be in Fifth avenue during
the social season, and they must keep
house. Philadelphia has been spoken
of as community of homes" New
York is a community of rents More
than half of our people don't know
what it is to pay taxes. Their obliga-
tons of citizenship are settled by the
landlord, who takes everything out in

LIME AND MALARIA.
Investigators Say That Former Par.iany
Averts Latter.

Investigators Say That Former Parliany
Averts Latter.
A French scientist DR.. Roche, thinks
that he has discovered an interesting
fact in regard to malaria. He declares
that the addition of lime to the soil
for purely agricultural purposes will
reduce the amount of malaria in that
vicinity. Another medical man, DR..
Grellet, echoes that opinion, and as
serts that the diminution in malaria is
proportional to the quality of lime
used. Neither of these writers offers
any explanation of the alleged discoy-
cry or shows why the lime should an
tagonize the malaria. The old notion
that so-cal1ed malarial fevers resulted
(as the name implies) from bad air, a
miasm arising from the soil, and es-
pecially from wet places, is still enter
tanned by a number of people. This
is a theory which could be reconciled
easily with the belief which Drs. Roche
and Grellet now cherish. If both of
these suggestions are correct no doubt
the lime checks the development of
the miasmatic yapor in wet soil. But
it has recently been suspected that
malaria is caused by a micro-organiSm
which gets into the victims blood, and
not by a gas which is inhaled. 1t is
also suspected that this microbe gets
into the blood through the bite of an
infected mosquito. Now, if this un-
Outstanding of the case should prove
to be right then it would not be easy
to see what lime has to do with sup
pressing malaria. Perhaps it kills
mosquitoes and improves the sanitary
conditions of district in that manner.
Or it is remotely possible that the
disappearance of malaria which has
been noticed in France is confined to
a limited region, and is due to some
other cause than the use of lime as
fertilizer. The two facts may have
been simultaneous, but unrelated. At
any rate, it will be desirable to know
whether anything of the kind has been
noticed in other places where malaria
once prevailed and where lime has
been employed by farmers. If SO, there
is doubtless something in the idea
Otherwise, the French cases would ap-
pear to be accidental and exceptional.

The cultivation of coco, says a wri-
ter in the Scientific American, is at
present an inviting agricultural pur-
suit in Trinidad and parts of Venezu-
Ella. The COCO tree cannot withstand
strong sunshine, and the young plants
have to be shaded by banana or plain
tain trees, and later, when they attain
their growth, by tall trees known as
.immortels." or the mother Of the
Coco These make kind of canopy
over the entire plantation. The fruit
of the COCO tree is a pod, resembling
a cucumber and growing on the trunk,
or large branches, where it looks as
though it were artificially attached .
The seeds are like large, thick Lima
beans embedded in pulp. These form
the coco beans of commerce. The

AN HONEST NAM E.
An Illinois Statesman Tells Good
Story-Knew His Fathers Son

Would Not Lie.
The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chill
licothe, member for the Twenty
District, State of Illinois House of
Representatives tells an interesting
story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill
gave a testimonial stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism.
This with Mr. Merrill's portrait were
published in thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and sew
eral other members. After a time
one of them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr..
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
You are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. 1 was most dead with
Lumbago and in an advertisement 1
saw your picture and your recommen-
| dation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew
your father, and I knew his son would
not lie, and therefore 1 decided to try
the Pills.

Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and I have been waiting this OPP
portunity to thank you personally. for

you got on the train at Springfield and

GLOVE rK1cr1oN ON JEWELS.

IF you want your rings to last well,
said a jeweler. don't wear them under
gloves. But if you decide that gloves
are a necessity, as probably you will
then send your rings twice a year tc
a jeweler to be overhauled," says Home
Notes. The reason for this warning is
the constant friction of the glove wears
the tiny points that hold the stones
in place and the result is that rne
stones fall out, unless they are cen
stantly looked after. You might moi

The Man who Helped Carnegie Make
His Millions VIII Make a Few Mil
lions on His own Account

NEW YORK, August ia special to
the Tribune from Philadelphia says:
1t is authoritatively reported that when
charles M. Schwab obtains actual con-
troll of the Bethlehem Steel and Iron
Company which deal will be consum-
ated in brief time, he will resign
the presidency of the United States
Steel Corporation and devote his time
to the management of the property ac-
quired on his own account. The man
who made this statement is connected
with the Bethlehem Company. His in
formation is believed to be exact. He
said:
THE Bethlehem Company is the only
one which competed with the United
States Steel Corporation in furnishing
armor plate to the Government. If it
were to be merged with the steel trust
the ultimate result would undoubtedly
be the establishment of Government
armor plate plant.
"Mr. Schwab has now an option on
nearly 100000 shares of Bethlehem Steel
stock, which gives him control of the
iron company also. Before August 26th
when the transaction must be closed, he
will hold nearly 100000 shares, leaving
a few outstanding. The profit of the
company was more than 10000, 900 last
year, and l believe that might be in
creased.
81 know that Mr.. Schwab has been
anxious to make a change for some
time. While not on bad terms with ] g..
Pierpont Morgan, he has had some con-
flict at times and for that reason wishes
to take up the Bethlehem Company's
plants"

A REMARKABLE MURDEREss.
Puts Husband Into Air Tight Safe in
Paris


NEW YORK, August ia cable to
the World from Paris says: Marguerite
Danger, just tried at Bordeaux for
numbering her husband and sentenced
to three years Imprisonment, seems to
be a type of new woman, being athle-
tic in body and Independent in mind.
Describing the affair, Nine. Danger
said: 81 was in the habit of going out
alone whenever 1 felt like it. 1 believe
in mutual freedom in the married state.
One evening my husband tried to forci-
bly, stop me as / was passing from my
apartment through our store going to
a ball, while he was to remain at home
to finish his accounts. A fight ensued,
and, I being the stronger, finally threw
my husband into the big safe and slam
med the door shut. / returned from the
dance at midnight and tried unsuccess-
fully to open the safe. Then | went to
bed, relying upon the employees to re-
lease my husband"
The next morning the cashier found
M. Danger dead, his face scratched
his clothes torn and his wrists chewed,
in his despair. The wife
testified that it never occurred to her
that the safe was air-tigh, and that her
husband was in danger of suffocation.
