The Appendix-what It Is.

London Chronicle.
People as a rule know nothing regard
ing the appendix. They talk about APP
pendicitis, but the organ affected is to
them a profound mystery. Let me en-
deavor to make plain the nature of this
curious vestige in human anatomical
history. The digestive system of man.
and that of all other animals, is a canal
or tube. whereof the stomach is simply
a dilated part Now. beyond the stom-
ach we find the intestine Tor bowel,
which in man averages twenty-six feet
in length 1t is divided into the small
intestine, measuring about twenty feet,
and into the large intestine. which makes
up about six feet of the total length.
Where the small intestine-which is the
part that Immediately succeeds the stom-
ach-joins the large. we find the caecum.
This as its name indicates, is cul de
sac a kind of blind alley, lying below
the point of junction. Attached to the
ceacum we find the appendix, little
tube-like vestige, averaging about three
inches in length, and of the diameter of
goose quill. If the caecum is a blind
alley the appendix is a kind of trap, lying
as 1t does to the back of the ceacum.
When indigestible things find their way
into the appendix-cheuy stones, grae
seeds, and even the hairs of toothbrushes
they cause irritation, and when this
irritation goes the length of inflamma-
ton we get the ailment known as "ap-

Interesting Archaeological Find.

A few years ago the Russian Prince
Abemalak Lazareff, during his visit to
the ruins of ancient Palmyra, discovered
a large block of stone about twelve feet
long and eight feet wide, containing a
well preserved bilingual inscription. /. G..
Greek and Palmyrene. which is supposed
to date from the third century of our era.
The INSCRIPTION is said to contain the
tariffs of custom duties and taxes levied
during that period. divided into three
tables. Last year the authorities of the
Imperial Russian Museum at st. Peters,

Russian Archaeological institute. who re-

HON. R. H. CLARKE
GIVES HIS REASONS FOR SUP
PORTING JELKS.
New Constitution Shall Be Sustained
by the Care Of Men Who are
Friendly to It.
Mobile Herald Of the end.

Mobile Herald of the END.
Hon. r. II. Clarke, former Congress
man from this district, will take the
stump for Governor Jelks and the new
constitution.
He came up from Portersville today
Herald.
Mr.. Clarke said: al am of opinion
that the matter of the constitution is
OF much greater concern to the people
OF Alabama than some realize. It Is
important that the constitution, lately
adopted. shall be sustained by wise and
1udicious legislation, framed by heads and
hands OF friends. rather than that any old
sores OF trifiing consequence, breaking out
after two years of what should have been
healing. should be salved oyer
1t may be safely said that while the
Democrats of the State are more than
satisfied with the new constitution. moth
ing would induce them to put themselves
back where they were-an exchange OF
the new situation for the old.
1T would appeal to the reason Of all
men that the infant constitution should
not be turned over 70 the mercies OF past
memories and especially to a man who
used his power to the utmost limit to
prevent the holding of the convention and
whose friends are VIGOROUSLY under his
guidance; the man who strained every
ENERGY to defeat the adoption OF the
constitution.
Governor Jelks is an honest, sensible,
wise and prudent Governor, who will not
use the great power OF his offico to his
own personal advancement. Can that
be expected of his opponent? II so. when
did the leopard change his spots or the
Ethiopian change his skin?
II am most heartily for Governor jerks
for election to succeed himself and for
the election of a legislature that cam
not be controlled by Captain Joseph F.

A gUccEssFUL FARMER.

One of the most remarkable instances
Of intensive and diversified farming-if
I can be called farming-is reported by
Mr.. II. Durham in 1.-THE Land of Sum
shine" The farmer is Samuel Cheeks,
and his farm consists of just one acre
Of land in the Sacramento Valley, Cali
fornia- OF this acre his buildings oc-
cupy nearly one-sixth Of the space, but
on the balance Is grown every variety Of
fruits, nuts. vegetables. ETC., that will
or can be made to grow in that climate.
Through irrigation, high manuring. close
Intelligent cultivation and infinite variety
of products is the secret Of his success.
On this small area, which the average
farmer would consider barely large
enough for a garden or potato patch,
Mr.. Cheeks has supported himself and
wife for forty years, and he informed Mr..
Durham that he not only realizes COM
Portable living. but puts aside an average
of four hundred dollars each year. This
would seem incredible, but the neighbors
substantiated his statements adding that
he is one of the men in the community
who always has money to loan, and who
is ever ready to make a donation to a
worthy object.
Naturally one of the secrets of Mr..
Cleek's success lies in what may be
called the folly of those around them.
The Sacramento Valley is noted as
wheat country and the farmers there, like
the farmers in many other places, devote
practically all their attention to their
one crop. Consequently Mr.. Cleek is
able to sell them fruits. vegetables and
other iuxuries at remunerative prices and
can always find demand for all he can
raise. If all Of them were to adopt his
plan there would be no home demand for
his products. and his acre would be less
profitable. That, however. does not pre-
vent his methods and his success from
furnishing an object lesson for others.

Robert NJ. La Toilette for President"
Is the legend many of Governor La Fol
Iettes followers fancy they see written
in the sky. The vision may not become
reality two years hence. they confess;
nor even four years later perhaps; but
they have an abiding faith that one
whose inherent qualities have brought
him at the age of a to the pinnacle OF
politics in a State ike Wisconsin, who
has been apparently crushed In two sue
cessive State Conventions, only to rise
again and master the next two. and who
has won his way upward because he
has had q steadily growing army behind
him. must go on higher yet.
That Governor La Toilette has become
a figure in national politics evene his en-
emies can admit without twinge, since
he has taken the scalps of men like Sen
ator Spooner. Postmaster General Payne
and a host OF other Republican leaders
trained in the careful school of the
late Philetus Sawyer. which put Wis
consin men near the head of the table In
the national councils OF the party; but
his most enthusiastic admirers must ad-
NIT that he will not be full-grown Presi-
Dental timber until he shall have been
reelected.
A large part Of the Governors strug-
gle for supremacy in Wisconsin is still
before him. The 'staiwarts' will fight
him in this campaign from every copse,
barnyard and fence corner. They pro-
claim II. The Democrats, athirst for one
drop of victory, will do their utmost to
take advantage of Republican differences.
If the Governor wins. IL he sweeps the
state by an off-year majority of 100000,
as his followers predict, then President
makers will hardly overlook a Western
man Of his ability, personality and
achievements.

A HARD QUESTION.

An unfortunate individual. who signs
himself .'slave." writes to The st. Lotus
Dispatch to ask ''can a man be a
drunkard and at the same time Chris
tian?" With the question Itself we have
nothing to do, as 1t is not In the province
Of a secular newspaper. but the mans
explanation OF the way he comes to be
drunisard Is interesting. Briefly he
states that some years ago he was suf-
fering from consumption and under the
advice of "a Christian doctor he began
using from a quart to a half gallon Of
whiskey day. 1t cured him., but he
admits that he now has 1.-The whiskey
habit"
The first thing that will strike the
ordinary reader in this statement 10 that
the man should think it necessary to in
form any one that he has the whIskey
habit. Not being expert on that line
we are not able to say Just how much
whiskey a man can take daily for some
years without acquiring habit, but we
feel pretty sure that half a gallon, or
even a quart, would incline a man very
strongly towards dt. especially after he
has kept It up for years And, reason
ing from our limited knowledge of the
effects OF whiskey. we should say that
the regular inhibition OF the quantity
named would make a drunkard Of man
in just about .twenty-four hours.
And yet there is a pitiful side to the
poor fellows question. He fears that
If he breaks himself Of his unfortunate
habit the disease will return with fatal
effects. In short, a. he reasons, he must
keep on and live and die drunkard. or
become a sober man and die Of finger
ing disease. 1t is a sad alternative. and
one can but sympatEize with the poor
victim, even II his question is not an
swerable.

rHAr OTHER SENSE.

We have been very much interested
lately in the reported discovery by a
French saSant of a sixth sense Human
beings canN see. feel. hear. taste and
smell, and 1t has heretofore been the
settled opinion OF scientists as well as
laymen that these five senses were all
we possessed. Yet this Frenchman de-
ciares that there Is another which he
calls the sense OF obstacles He locates
this newly discovered faculty In the fore
head ana tells us that by its operation
we become aware Of solid distractions
which we can neither see, feel. taste.
hear or smell.
All this is highly interesting. II true.
but fails to make plain some things In
connection with human existence. II
there Is such a sense and 1t exists In all
Of us, why is It that we invariably butt
our heads against an open door in the
dark? We may have both hands in front
to guard against a collision, but a hand
will so on each side and we never realize
that the shutter is there till It collides
with the nose. And people who venture
through dark rooms shouldn't hit all the
furniture In the house. IL there is a sense
Of obstacles. but they hit 1t just the same.
Even solid brick wall is not always
safe from the man who walks in the dark.
II there Ii such sense 1t isn't always
on duty. or else most of us have failed
to cultivate 1t or do not understand its
warnings. It works by vibrations, so
the Frenchman says. and possibly we
havn't all caught on to these vibratory
sensations. Possibly we might not know
one II It should strike us.
And yet 1t may be that this scientist Is
not altogether at sea in his theory. We
have frequently watched the actions Of
the lower creatures, insects and reptiles,
and noticed their knowledge Of objects
which 1t seemed impossible for them to
see or hear. The lower creatures have
some OF their senses developed to a much
greater degree than human beings have.
and it may be that this sense exists in
them and they are Influenced by it, while
at the same time 1t exists In human be-
ings without their knowledge. 1t IL all
very interesting, II true.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

John Mitchell, president OF the unitef
Mine workers. may have said and dom
some foolish things, but In q recent ad
dress al Indianapolis he certainly utteret
words of wisdom. Speaking to the dele.
gates from the various associations he
said:

made should during their life he Kept

vantage could be gained by setting agree.
ments aside. such advantage gained
would. in the very nature of things. pc
temporary and would ultimately result
in disaster, because a disregard OF con.
tracts strikes at the very vitals o.
tion would be to destroy confidence, TO
array in OPEN hostility to our cause Az
forces Of society and TO crystalline public
sentiment In opposition to our move
ment.
Certainly that was sensible advice ana
should be needed. Whether strike is
ever advisable or justifiable Is a aues-
ton about which men may naturally be
expected to diner, but there ought not
to be a difference of opinion on the sub
ject of keeping contracts. and in this
respect the employer and the employe
stand on precisely the same footing we
do not admit that an employer has any
more right to discharge faithful en-
ploye in violation OF a mutual agreement
than we believe that the latter may cult
his work without cause when he violates
a contract by 50 doing.
Mr.. Mitchell well says that strikes ny
which contracts are broken destroys con-
fidence, and he might have added that
such action deprives the strikers Of the
sympathy Of others. without which
strike cam rarely hope to be successful.
Such counsel as that given by Mr..
Mitchell would be Of benefit in many
cases, and would doubtless prevent many
strikes which are totally un3ustinabie.

CATTLE PUNCHING
Is Now Done by Electricity, with Re-
markable Results.

49, eeS" 001AS W ASAONtAANASJ1 WASAA AVE-
markable Results.
Kansas City Cor. New York Herald.
The employees of the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger Packing Co. here now employ
electricity to drive the cattle into the
beef beds instead of shouts, clubs, whips
and prods.
The application of electricity is made
by two insulated wires connected with
the light wires over the catching pen and
the knocking pens. The current passes
through a stick and connects with two
brass points on the end.
'Punchers' is the name given the
sticks. There are two punchers, each six
feet long, in the catch pen, and five, four
feet long, in the knocking pens. The in
sulated wires are about twenty feet long.
thus covering a distance in the pens of
about thirty feet each.
One hundred and twenty-five volts of
electricity are turned on. 1t is enough
to make a sharp singing sensation, with
out leaving mark or bruise on the beef
1t Is said fifty volts would be as effective.
The work is done in one half the time
and with half the exertion. The effect on
the steer of the magic touch is amusing
to see. steer touched on the left hip
Immediately throws his headquarters as
far as he can to the right. He cocks one
ear straight ahead and one straight back,
switches his tail and starts straight
ahead, not caring for a second shock.
There is a look of surprise in his eyes,
and he seems to know that all the trouble
lies in the end of that stick. He doesn't
stop to get mad or howl. He has urgent
business at the other end of the pen.
That is exactly where the drivers and
knockers want him.
1t completely does away with all back
PUSHES and dragging in with chains, for
just as long as the puncher is behind the
steer is just as far as he can get in front
The saving of time and bruised meat are
also items to be considered.
This novel instrument is the invention
of l.. e. Unroe, the machinist in the beef
beds, who has made several other useful
improvements in the machinery.
The Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Co. has
been using these punchers about month.
An Armour official has also viewed the
puncher in use and speaks highly of the
improved method.
Superintendent J. L. Sterrett says: 1.-THE
cattle puncher Is a great money saver,
as we'll as an instrument for saving
breath, muscle and morals. Many actual
dollars are saved, because bruised beef is
