DEATH-rv-L or 1nE ALPS.
Over Three Hundred Lives Have Been Lost in Last Ten Years
 in PeriIous Ascent.

Recent fatal accidents to Alpine climbers recall the gloomy fact that in the last ten years 275 accidents, involv- ing 301 deaths, have occurred to people climbing the Alps. Yet for every death recorded between 5000 and 4,ooo per- sons make the journey in safety.
 The eastern Alps account for fully half the accidents; the central Alps, including Switzerland, claiming 37 per cent, and the western Alps the remain der. Germany and Austria have paid the heaviest toll in lives, 19O deaths having occurred as the result of the ex- petitions; the Swiss come next with AS; Italians follow in order, with 23, and England with IS. Seven women are numbered among the victims, not d surprisingly large number, considering how many women risk the climbs now adays. Over 70 guides and close upon 20 porters have sacrificed their lives in ministering to the pleasures of those who braved the perils of the noun tains.

services at Oyster Bay.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Rev. Dr. Henry Homer Washburn, rector of Christ Episcopal church, in the pres ence of President Roosevelt and his family and congregation that filled the church to overfowing, preached a sermon in which he devoted considera- ble attention to possibility of danger coming by and through the unguarded use of great wealth concentrated in the hands of few" and in which he also stated that '.if ever circumstances in- dicated that one was placed proyiden- tially in the executive chair of the na- ton then the circumstances that at tended the promotion of Mir. Roosevelt so indicated" The first part of the rec tors sermon was devoted to a eulogy upon the lifesandE Echaracter of the mar tyred Mckinley, and to this the pres ident listened attentively. But when in the second part of the sermon MT. Washburn took occasion to speak of the possibility of danger coming through certain trusts and also to laud the president MT. Roosevelt became restive. His face colored, and he plain ly showed signs of disapproval of the kector's utterances.

EMANCIPATION OF THE HORSE.
Introduction of Electricity Has frightened the Animals Burden
 Hut Not Eradicated Him.

Although, the prediction freely made, a few years ago that the development of electric traction would quickly drive horses from the field of labor have not been fulfilled, yet the Electrical Re view cites statistics to prove that the disappearance of the horse is actually taking place, although so slowly as not to attract much attention. Tn Paris the number of horses fell off about six per cent. between 1901 and 1902. In London the decrease in the same time was ten per cent. In Berlin, Vienna and St. Petersburg a similar falling off is shown by the census of horses Tn New York it is estimated that the number of horses has de- creased 33 per cent. in the1ast2o years. But although horses may be relieved of the burden of hard labor, it is not likely that man will ever banish his ancient friend and servant wholly from the circle of his pleasures.

Has Little to Say About Meeting
 With the Governor.
 WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 15.- President Mitchell returned to Wilkes barre from his night interview at Har- risburg reticent as to what was said or done. He said the visit to Governor Stone was pleasant one.
 The strike situation was discussed in all it's phases, but the governor had no proposition to make for the settlement of the strike.
 Asked whether he thought the gov ernor would call an extra session of the legislature, MT. Mitchell said he did not know.
 The reticence of the chief officer of the miners union weighs heavily on the business and industrial interests of the strike region, who were hopeful that the meeting between the govern or and President Mitchell would re- s suit inasonae plan for a. settlement of the strike. The silence of MT. Mitchell is interpreted to mean that the Harris burg conference was barren of results.
 There is more or less activity at all the collieries in this region, and it is said that some of the companies will make desperate efforts to resume work without delay at many of the collieries.

An excessive use of salt on food is injurious to the digestive and other organs of the body, causing scurvy and other scorbutic diseases. But it has some curat tive properties which should be known. For the reason that 1t is cheap and always at hand, the cura- tive qualities of salt are not appreci- ated as they should be. We gather from an exchange that if used persist ently enough it will cure nasal catarrh A weak brine should be made and snuffed up the nose, allowing it to run down the throat. One of the most eff fective remedies known for sick head ache is to place a pinch of salt on the tongue and allow it to dissolve slowly In about ten minutes it may be fol- lowed by drink of water. There is nothing better for the relief of tired or weak eyes than to bat the them with a strong solution of salt and water, ap- piled as hot as it can be borne. Salt is most excellent for cleaning the teeth. It hardens the gums and sweetens the breath.-Detroit Free Press.

Ynn May s1een in Halves.

Only those who are troubled with insomnia, and have experienced the sleepless fatigue of night after night of tossing upon bed, are in position to wonder how it is that, during the days that intervene, the brain seems able to do it's work without showing undue signs of fatigue. Sir James Crichton Browne, the expert on. brain diseases, holds that insomnia is not att tended with such disastrous conse- quences as is commonly supposed. It is not so dangerous as the solicitude of the sufferer. He suggests that the brains of literary men, who are the most frequent victims, acquire the trick of the heart, which takes rest of fraction of a second after each beat, and so manages to get six hours rest in 24. Some brains, in cases of insomnia, sleep in sections, different brain centers going off in turn.-Lon- don Answers.

R,rds in Winter.

To see all our birds in their winter homes we should have to travel from the middle states down to the Argen- tine Republic. We could see a great many, though, by making a midwinter trip to the gulf states. In Florida, for instance, we should find enormous focks of robins whirling through the trees and alighting here and there tc feed upon the berries of the china-tree and holly Many birds we should find only along the coast, and many others we should have to search for in the silent cypress swamps of Louisians and Mississippi. The herons love the solitude of these swamps, where iE the numerous springs and streams they find the fish and frogs on whic5 they feed.--Woman's Home Compan. TnT <

CAUSE OF BERI-BERI.
Deadly MaIady of India Attributed to the Eating of Fer-
 mented Rice.

Beri-beri, an obscure and deadly ma1- ady, has long been known among the natives of Burma, Ceylon, the west coast of India, and the Malay penin- sula, and n1mber of cases have been treated in the Rangoon hospital. They have come under the observation of a young scientist. Capt. E. R. Rost, of the Indian medical service Some time ago Capt. Rost noticed a connection between the disease and the eating of partially fermented rice,says the Lon- don Mail.
 He set to work feeding fowls upon what be believed to be the cause of the malady. He soon had cases among lesions and general symptoms he found to be identical with beri-beri. He then inoculated healthy fowls with blood taken from the diseased ones. The malady followed with the cer- tainty of cause and effect. He went on with the process, and now has. fourth series under observation. He con- tinually checked his results by inoc- ulating fowls with blood of human beri-beri patients, when they developed the same symptoms as when inoculat- ed from their fermented-rice-fed fel- lows. He has communicated his ob- servations to the Indian Medical Ga zette, the service medical organ in India. His discovery points to the disease being caused by a mierobe in the blood, derived from fermented rice. It explains the hitherto not un- derstood fact that only natives living in damp tropical regions where fermented rice liquor is largely con- stunned are liable to the malady. also why it is that women and children, who consume less rice liquor than their husbands and fathers, are less often attacked.

 Activity at All Co1lieries.
 SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 15.-To- day begins the nineteenth week of the coal strike. The date on which Senator Platt predicted that the strike would end has passed, and the hope which was instilled into the people in this To- cality because of that prediction has been succeeded by feeling that the end is still far off.
 The reiteration by the coal presi- dents during last week that no con- sessions would be made and the reso- lutions passed by nearly all the local unions of the United Mine Workers renewing their allegiance to their off, cers and pledging themselves to con- tinue the strike until concessions are granted show that neither side to the controversy is weakening.
 General Gobin, in charge of the state troops encamped in this county, denies that he is preparing to remove the troops at an early date or that he ex- poets an order from the governor to withdraw the troops, He says he does not anticipate an order of that kind un- til there is settlement of the strike.

His nobility of character, purity of home life, solidity of states manship and greatness of heart were subjects for outpourings of eloquence from clergy and laity. Musical serv- ices arranged especially for the occa- sion added in considerable degree to the impression made by prayer and or atory.

CANTON, O., Sept. 15.-There was a general observance of Mckinley me mOrial day in the city which claimed him as its own. From almost every pulpit there was reference in prayer or in address to him and his work. His favorite hymns were used. There was no attempt at decoration other than to have the portrait of Mckinley draped with flags and surrounded with choice flowers. The address that at fracted most attention here was that given by Judge William R. Day, for mer secretary of state and friend and adviser of Mckinley for many years. Nhe address was delivered in the First Methodist Episcopal church, of which Mckinley was member and in which the public funeral was held Sept. 19, 49O1- The only decorations were flow Ars and portrait of the late president, around which were the folds of the stars and stripes, emblematic of the patriotic spirit of Mckinley.
 In the Catholic churches of the city special masses were said. Tribute was hlso paid by some of the priests to the memory of Mckinley because, having known him personally. they could not forbear. Although deeply conscious of NHhe fact that it was just one year ago that her beloved husband died. Mrs. Mckinley did not vary, the programme followed by her for several months. All days to her have been memorial days. Her usual trip to West Lawn cemetery was taken in the forenoon, and she laid loves offering of flowers on the casket that contains the remains of the nations martyred chief Mrs. Garret A. Hobart, who is her guest, went with her into the Mckinley tomb and also laid a bouquet of flowers on the coffin.

During the day there were many visitors at the Nc Kinley vault.
