state Department Receives Impor-
Innt AdNiceE.

WASHINGTON. Aug 1.-The state
department yesterday received mail adj
vices from three different quarters in
Colombia all showing revolutionary
movements In progress and rather seri-
Gus condition of affairs. Both termini
of the Panama railway route were heard
from. Consul General Gudger writing
from Panama as to revolutionary at
tack on nearby towns and Consul Malm-
ros, at Colon. reporting that guerrilla
fighting had been Soing on at different
points between Colon and Panama.
At the same time Minister Hart wrote
from the capital OF Colombia as to the
arrest and Imprisonment of prominent
adherents of the former president, DIR.
Sanclemcnte. as they were suspected of
seeking to have the Nationalist organiza-
tion join with the Liberals. who are said
to he showing increased strength and ac-
tivity in revolutionary movement.
Although these letters have taken some
time to come forward. yet they give the
state department about the best and the
only definite information which is at
hand as to the condition of affairs. Mr..
Gudger's letter speaks of a revolutionary
raid on the 26th ard 9th of July, In
which an alcade and several policemen
were made prisoners and some arms and
provisions captured. This is not the
holding up OF the train at Matachin re-
ported by him by cable, as that happened
later and did not result in any looting.

CURIOUS oNpuRAs PIPES.

Spanish and Aztec Implements Retain
Historic Designs and Color.
this country many of the odd imple-
ments and curios of those lands. The
Spanish population has a large admix-
ture of Aztec or other aboriginal blood,
and preserves many of the implements
as well as customs which prevailed in
the time of the Montezumas. One of
the queerest survivals in this regard is
the long pipe which is still employed
in the rural districts of both republics.
1t is made from a shrub or a sapling
which grows somewhat like the elder.
The bush is cut down and the pith ex-
tracted from the stem, which is after
ward peeled, polished, dried and paint
ed with primary colors in barbaric
style. The simplest form is a straight
stem from three to six feet in length.
A more expensive kind is made from
a stem with two. terminal branches.
This demands much more care in ex-
tracing the pith, and enables the own
er to offer a friend a m%outhpiece on
one branch while he is enjoying an
other upon a second. Three-stemmed
sticks are also made, and, very rarely,
four-stemmed ones. These are kept as
curios rather than as useful articles,
and are supposed to have been en-
ployed upon especial occasions in the
days of the Incas. The bowl is of red
mouthpiece may be Of bone, or horn
or decorated silver and amber. The
length Of the stem causes the tobacco
smoke to cool appreciably in its pas
sage from the bowl to the lips, and
gives a taste almost as mild as that
produced by the oriental nargile. The
tobacco used with it is of rich red
brown color, about intermediate in
flavor and appearance between Vir-
ginia and Havana leaf. These pipes
make very pretty ornaments for a
mantel or for a wall, being much more
pleasing to the eye than the Church
warden" familiar to all smokers. They
are strong and durable, but, unless oil
ed and vanished now and then, they
are apt to split In a dry climate. Col
lectors make it a rule to oil them on
the inside once a year.

SToRIES FROM CUP EXCHANGES

The career Of Jonathan Prentiss Dol
liver. the mountain boy who became a
senator, is entertainingly described by
Cyrus Patterson Jones in Success for
March. The senator's love Of humor
Is thus described:
His wit is one Of the most at
traetive Of his gifts. He can tell a
story with wonderful effect. His keen
sense of humor would have made him
a comedian If nature had not cast his
other faculties in a o serious mold.
Therefore his fun only crops out at
times.

This is a form Of laryngitls, occur
ring in young children, which is ac-
companied by a spasmodic drawing to-
gether of the vocal cords. occasioning
more or less difficulty in breathing. It
is usually called simply Group by both
mothers and doctors. but is a much
less serious affection than true Group.
True Group is an Inflammation, usually
~diphtheritic, with a membranous exu-
dalton filling up the larnyx, whereas
false Group is spasmodic and Of short
duration. False Group may begin sud
denly and without warning, but usual
ly the child has a cold for a day or
two before the croupy symptoms APP
pear. The attack on during
sleep, and the little patient is awak-
ened by the urgent need for breath.
Sometimes there is difficulty only in
inspiration; in other cases an effort is
required to force the air out as we'll
as to draw it in.
Accompanying the difficulty in
breathing is a short, Intellectual cough
of a harsh, metallic character. ThePe
is usually more or less fever, some
times a very high one, and the pulse
is rapid and hard. The child seems
to be in imminent danger Of suffoca-
tion-and sometimes actually is-but
generally the spasm Of the larnyx re-
lakes after a while and the child falls
asleep. In many cases the attack, If
1t has been severe, terminates with a
mt of vomiting or the coughing up of
a large quantity Of mucus.
A second attack may occur the same
night or the mex night, or there may
be no subsequent seizures.
The following morning the child is
generally in his usual health, except
for a slight hoarseness and a spasmod-
ic, metallic cough, or there may be a
little difficulty in breathing for a day
or two.
Although the symptoms of a sharp
attack of spasmodic Group are often
terrifying, it seldom ends fatally in a
previously healthy child. Commissions
or Inconsistencies may follow a severe
attack in a delicate child.
Relief may be obtained by applying
to the throat a cloth wrung out Of hot
water. The inhalation of steam rising
from a vessel of hot water in which a
t~easpoonful of compound tincture of
benzoin has been dropped will some
times break up a spasm. In severe
cases the child may be made to vomit
by giving him warm salt water, or by
tickling the back of the throat with a
feather.
1t is not always easy to distinguish
between true and false Group, and it
is safer to call a physician in every
case.

FalthruI Dos Earned $4,000 Cor It.
Master.

Faithful Dog Earned $4,000 Cor Its
Master.
For the past ten years theater-goers
and other pleasure seekers who walk
ed on the Broadway Of New York's
Tenderloin after dark were wont to
glance aside to the curbing at the at
tenuated harmonies of a h%and-organ,
a y the New York Times. The glance
showed them a ragged old man, grind
ing out the wheezy greeting of age to
youth, but it also showed a grizzly
haired dog hard by, with a basket half
full of coin in his mouth. The men
who saw it merely grumbled: "Pshawl
Only a hand organ beggar. Probably
W. 9TH more than I am" But their
feminine companions we're not to be
put off in that wise. But look at the
faithful dog" they would cry. And
the result was that the dogs basket
became heavier every moment that he
was on duty. 1t was the tribute Of
to the dog.
Now, mind" the male escort would
say, Il do it simply out of regard for
the dog. Several days ago Broadway
missed the dog. Broadway wondered
and then speedily forgot all about It.
The dogs home was in the tenement
house, 402 West Thirty-eighth street,
where a week ago he died. His master.
since dead, the neighbors say, starved
both himself and the dog to death. The
dog is dead and the neighborhood
knows not his name, but there is left
to guard his memory a noble monu-
ment. The savings of the master that
the dog earned amount to something
over $25, 900.
Timothy McGrath was the dogs
master. For years he lived in a small
room in the tenement in Thirty-eightn
street. OF late, since the death of the
dog he himself had been ailing, and
James Brown, a tailor, who had his
shop on the ground floor, had been
accustomed to do the meager shopping
of McGrath.
Yesterday morning, as usual, Brown
went up to the top floor, but could get
no answer to his knockings. A police
man finally broke in the door. Nc
Grath was dead. The ambulance sur
geon said that lack of proper nourish-
ment was the cause. In a tin box Sc
creted in the room they found two
bank notes, one on the Emigrants'
Savings bank, and one on the Bank
for Savings, showing to McGrath's
credit SIS 600. There was also the
deeds for a house on Fortietb street,
off Fifth avenue, a life insurance pol
icy, and deeds for a lot and monument
in Calvary cemetery.

TRAIN YOUR BOYS.
Sons Should Be Orderly and Systematic

Sons Should BE Orderly and Systematic
in the House.
A wise mother will impress upon
her sons, as we'll as upon her daugh-
ters, the Importance and comfort Of
being orderly in the household. 1t is
usual for the mother to strive to make
her daughter systematic and tidy, to
induce her to keep her bureau draw
ers, her closet and her room in order;
to put away her clothes carefully, and
to make her bed properly; but the boy
has all these things done for him, and,
consequently, never learns orderly
habits, unless they come to him by
nature. There is no sense in this dis
tinction between the boy and the girl.
Neatness and orderliless in regard to
ones and surroundings are as
essential to a well-bred man as neat
ness of person, and the boy is at a
disadvantage in whose home-training
Mothers know that their sons are IL
able, after they are grown, to be away
from their care for years before es-
tablishing homes of their own. It is
a positive u%nkindness, therefore, to al
low them to grow up with s~lovenly
habits, which will cause them to be re-
garded as ill-bred by persons Of re-
fnement. and which will be a source
of discomfort TO themselves. It is be-
coming much more common than for
merly for men to have a knowledge of
domestic affairs. Many men would feel
it as much of a disgrace to live in the
midst Of dirt and disorder. when
thrown upon their own resources, as
a woman would under similar circum-
stances. 1t is not unusual to find Gull
tured men who take pride in being
competent to perform the ordinary du-
ties Of the household. A knowledge
of thees duties is most convenient to
any man, for in every home emergen-
cies come in which his own comfort,
and tina, of others, will, depend upon
his ability to do the necessary things
in the right way; but if such profici-
ency as this is too much to expect
from every man, mothers should see
to 1t, at least, that their sons, equally
with their daughters, are taught to
take that care OF their rooms and per-
sonal belongings which the require
ments of refined living demand.-New

PRINTING WITHOUT INK.
Process That Is Proving a Great su
cess In England.

Process That Is Proving a Great Sue
cess In England.
Printers are said t be much inter-
ested in the work of an English
photographer, a Mr.. f. Greene of Lon
don, who has met with considerable
success in producing a paper by means
Of electricity which may be printed
upon without employing inks or the
use of any previous sensitizing matter
by saturation, as has hi%thertofore been
done. Instead of saturating this 'elec-
tographic' paper with the sensitizing
materials, as has hitherto been done,
1t has been found best to mix them
with the pulp in the process of manu-
iacture, and so a radical departure
has been made and a new machine
made paper has been invented that has
rare properties. The chemicals used
are abundant and cheap, so that this
paper can be produced as cheaply as
common paper. The prepared paper is
stable and colorless, it is unaffected
by any other agent than the electric
current; may be kept indefinitely and
sent to the press directly from the roll
as manufactured, with no preliminary
treatment whatever; yields instantly
a dence black, permanent print. re-
quires no subsequent fixing or devel-
opment; indeed, is ready for distribu-
ton Immediately, as there is nothing
like ink to smirch or require drying;
briefly, it meets all the requirements
OF a perfect medium for electric print
ing. The machine for electric print
ing is simply an ordinary press divest-
ed of all its mixing mechanism and
having the cylinder or p~aper-bearing
surface covered with a suitable con
Quoting metal. The work of make
ready" is the same as for ordinary
printing, and line blocks, electrotypes,
o cuts, half-tones, engravings and
all kinds of designs in relief may be
used at will. The form is connected
with n pole of the dynamo or bat
tery~-for most purposes the current
may be taken from an ordinary mean
descant light wire-the paper-carry-
ing cylinder or surface is connected
with the other pole. Thus the metal
surfaces of both cylinders are the cleo
trodes, while the paper is in reality a
very thin cell in which the pulp is an
inert medium and the contained chemi-
Gals the electrolyte which is to be sub
1ected to el%ectrolysis. AS the cylinders
approach each other to press the paper
as it is fed between them, the current
Is switched on automatically and flows
from one cylinder through the paper
at the points of contact to the other
cylinder, the impression being pro
duced instantly by electro-chemical
action.

honor, and a colored woman named her
baby after me. l began to think of
