CITY

TONIGHT
VIII Consider the Greater
Salem Charter

At the regular session Of the Salem
city council tonight the Greater Salem
charter will be reported, and some
amendments may be offered.
There is an almost unanimous sen.
timent in favor Of the charter, except.
Ing the clause that the city marshal
shall be named by the mayor. and con.
frmed by the council.
The charter commission we're not
entirely agreed upon this and may he
asked by the council to amend it. The
old way Of naming a city marshal by
the mayor and council did not work
well, and some will refuse to return
to that system.

Stylish Organ Grinders.

Much amusement was afforded the
residents of Logan square the other
evening by the actions of a couple Of
gentlemen who were evidently exhil-
arated from taking too much liquid
refreshment. The men were enacting
the parts Of Italian street musicians.
Both men, who were attired in Prince
Albert coats and wore shining silk
hats, made a laughable sight as they
pushed a large hurdygurdy clear
around the square, stopping in front
of a dozen houses en- route.
While one man ground out music
the other passed his silk hat for a
collection. The donations were
liberal, too; even the poorest-clothed
workingman, seated on a bench In
the square, tossed in a copper for
the 1.-TWO swells what got broke and

An officer, who evidently knew the
two men, finally persuaded them to 90
home, and the instrument was return
ed to the waiting Italian, from whom
the had hired it.
Just as the two men had turned to
20 away they met poor, lame old
woman, whom they stopped and made
wait while one of the men emptied his
collection Of nickels and pennies from
his hat into the surprised woman's
apron. Both men politely bowed to
the woman as she stood pouring out
thanks and blessings, and then they
went their way arm in arm.-Phila'

Natural Butter.

A new tropical product, the butter
Of Karite, seems destined to play an
important role in our diet If we can
believe recent experiments. The but
ter Of Karite is as nutritious as our
present butter, but it possesses the
great advantage of being much less
expensive. In the whole Of the Sou
dan, from Senegal to the Niger, ut
the north Of Dahomey, there extends
a vast forest, the dominating tree Of
which is the Karite. 1t Is from this
tree that the natives extract the but
ter. The time at which the butter is
gathered varies in the different regions
but is generally fro1n June to Sep
tember, and whereas the natives con-
sumo this product at once, a quantity
exists for expectation. The butter OF
Karite has the appearance of solid
block analogous to butter, but white
in color aand possesses all the ad.
vantages and all the qualities Of but
ter. 1t has not the disadvantage, as
have other vegetable butters-the
vegetaline, for instance-of melting at
a temperature of 80 degrees centigrade
for the butter of Karite, is perfectly
preserved up to the temperature Of
81 degrees centigrade.-Christian

badly. and he slipped it carefully, hav-
ing due regard for his mouth and

But time pressed, and, with parting
glance at the clock, he reached for his
glass of ice water and prepared to
pour some Of the frigid fluid into his
cup.

eating his breakfast on the other side
of the table. You take all the good
out OF it by putting ice or ice-water

Ancient Dentistry.

False teeth are by no means med
ern invention, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, as is proved from the
fact that jawbones Of mu1nmies have
been found with false teeth in them,
and also with teeth stopped with god.
Indeed, the ancient Egyptians were no
mean dentists, and in Greece the art
was also practiced with much skill,
says Homes Notes.
There is plentiful evidence OF skilled
dentistry among the Romans, and
many of the ancient Latin authors
have references to false teeth. There
is a distinct motive of them in the "Ro'
man Laws Of the Twelve Tables" The
first part of No. 10 prohibits useless
expenses at funerals, but an exception
is made in No. II, which permits the
gold filings of teeth, or the gold with
which they are bound, to be buried
or cremated with the corpse.
About a couple Of years ago an en-
cient grave was discovered near Rome.
It was opened, and in it was found
the skeleton Of a woman with a com
plete set of false teeth, admirably
made and wrought out Of solid gold.

Hopes to See More Great Highways.

It is a fact that since the establish
ment of steam and electric railroads
the construction of turnpikes, or boule-
Yards, has suffered much, except roads
built for comparatively short distances.
This, Of course, has been NATURAL re-
suit, as travelling by private carriage,
drawn by horses, has long since given
way to the swifter steam motor rail-
road travelling, and the railroads have
literally become the highways Of the
nation.
But within the last few years there
has been a most commendable revival
of interest in good roads, and as fac
tor toward this end the humble bicycle
played no unworthy part. The intro
duction of the automobile promises to
result in the construction of magnifi-
cent thoroughfares Of great extent and
am glad that this is so. One who
travels through a country on railroad
train learns nothing of the district
through which he is whirled at express
speed. There is 10 real pleasure in
such travelling; in fact, it is not travel
ing in the real sense of the term; it is
simply being hurled from one point to
another with the gheatest possible
haste.
1t has always seemed to me that the
old-time fashion Of travelling by stage
coach or private carriage, stopping to
rest at will, pausing to drink in the de-
lights of particularly fine bit Of seem

~ that the experiments with
NJ crude petroleum, employed to
prevent the accumulation Of
dust on highways, which have been for
some time going on at Saint German
and Versailles, have resulted satisfac-
torily, and that the petroleum treat
plent is about to be applied upon va
rious roads near Paris, Lyons, Nice
and Marseilles. In consequence OF this
undertaking, says the dispatch, there
is likely soon to be considerably in
creased demand for American petro-
lcum throughout France.
So it appears that crude petroleum
AS "dust killer" which has been tried
repeatedly in the United States and
generally abandoned as ineffective and,
for other reasons, undesirable, still finds
favor among the Frenchmen. 1t was
reported q short time ago that the
Touring Club of France, desirous OF in
creasing the comforts of it's members.
had voted a large sum of money for
the purpose of conducting a series Of
experiments on various roads with
heavy American petroleum and also
with thick mineral oil. During the
last twelve years. 1t is said. numerous
avenues of ST. Gaudens, in France,
have been kept dustless by the free
use of oil and tar, which render the
surfaces absolutely impervious to wat
er. and hence mudless. These mate
rials, declared La Locomotion recently,
are the only ones known to science
which will effectually prevent the crea-
ton of dust on roads traversed by fast
vehicles
Tile most extensive application Of
crude petroleum in the United States
for the purpose indicated has been
made by the railroad companies, but
several of them have expressed their
determination to discontinue its use
for various reasons, one Of which is
that the fine soot-like particles which
arise from the roadbeds whereon it Is
spread arc extremely Objectionable. In
California crude petroleum has been
employed freely during the past year
OF more as a cement. There it is usu-
ally applied while road is in process
of construction, and it is invariably ap-
piled hot. Minor experiments of a SIM
liar sort, however, undertaken in the
East, have been conSpicuously unsuc.
ccssful, and the coal oil remedy is re-
sarded hereabouts as failure. Pos.
sibly it's efficacy depends largely upon
the quality Of soil treated.-New York
