Venezuela Refuses to Allow N. Secressat 10
Land at Laguaira.

Willemstad. Island Of Curacao, Jan. Is.
Via Haytfen Cable.-The Venezuela
government. yesterday, after consid, IA lie
loss OF time, allowed all the passengers
but one, Nj. Secrestat, Jr.. to land at
Laguaira from the French Line steamer
St Laurent. from Bordeaux, by way q;
Santander, Dec. 81 NJ. Secrestat is the
son of the French merchant who obtained
lease of the estates in Venezuela be-
longing to Gen. Manuel A. Matos, leader
OF the revolution against President Cas-
tro. The traveller was on his way to
Caracas in order to officially protest
against the seizure Of the estates In ques-
ton by the Venezuelan government in
spite OF the fact that the transaction had
been legally recorded. This refusal to-
allom NJ Secrestst to go ashore after tn
French consul at Caracas received In
writing from the Venezuelan minister OF
foreign affairs a pledge that Mr. 81 cres-
tat would be allowed to land without any
difficulty, has resulted in energetic pro-
tests on the part of the consul, who has
referred the matter to his government.
The pretext on which the landing Of NJ
Secrestat was forbidden is. that he may
have conferred with Gen. Matos.

Libby's Mills Monday. A shotgun was
used by Mr.. Henderson and the shot en-

Henderson's health had been gradually
failing during the past few months and
probably was the motive which caused
him to commit suicide. He was about 70
years Of age and widow. one son and
one daughter survive him.

o1den Time ssRain1ent.v -

In early Bible days richly embroider-
ed raiment was enumerated with the
gold, silver and other valuable property
of rich man. In that primitive age
Dame Fashion was not the tickle god
dess she is at present, and the raj
ment" so frequently mentioned in the
Holy Scriptures descended from father
to son as valuable part of the inh r.
itance. Raiment was often sent, with.
gold and gems. as present to digni-
taries.
1t took not months. but years. to Or
nament some of these garments, and
the gold thread SO lavishly used in
embroidering them was real gold.
Moses describes the process of making
the gold thread that was used in orna-
menting the tabernacle. The habit of
making presents of rare needIework is
still common among eastern nations
who changed their customs so slowly.

POULTRY POINTERS.

The best eggs are the result Of a
meat diet. .
Weak legs come from forced growth.
high feeding and close confinement.
Use no deformed or weak fowls for
breeding and do not keep the same
cock more than one season.
A molting hen seldom lays. She can
not be supplying eggs while the strain
of growing new feathers is upon her.
A very fat hen seldom lays anything
but soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy and
egg bound are the result of excessive
fat.
Leaves and hay chaff make excellent
litter for the floors, and by throwing
grain among it fowls are often kept
busy scratching.
Keep the fowls away from the barns,
stables and carriage houses. In such
places they are nuisances; besides they
are more comfortable in a place by
themselves.
Hens must have carbonate and phos-
phate of lime for their shells. and these
will be found in old plasteripg, broken
oyster shells and bones, with some of
the meat and gristle attached.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes of temperature should be
avoided.
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when a grove is
well shaded.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur
nishes few large and fine specimens
Of fruit.
There is no use in growing a tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break if fruit is pro-
duced on them.
All members of the poppy family are
hard to transplant. By choosing a
rainy day and not exposing the roots
one can sometimes manage a trans
ference.
Avoid straight lines as much as possi-
BILE. There is no straight line in nature.
1t is for this reason that groups and
masses are so much better than formal
or set beds.

A HISTORIANS ReyYard.

On April 5, 1865, John Stow, tailor
and historian, died. His minute and
painstaking survey can never be over
looked by any one who wishes to know
London of the sixteenth century. 1t
contains a wealth of fact and detail
and has, moreover. been described as
the most picturesque of narratives. At
the age of eighty years he was given
by James |. as reward for his many
and useful books and chronicles-a IL
cense to beg!
1--WE have been pleased to grant, {"
runs the license, "our Letters Patent
under our great Seal of England there
by authorizing him to collect among
our loving subjects their voluntary con-
tributions and kind gratuities." When
the license had been extended so as to
avail fer two years. it yielded from a
single London parish the magnificent
sum Of seven and sixpence.

HGTIVFTy OF THE HEN.

Coincident with the opening of the
theatrical season in Philadelphia. the
Chamber of Commerce of that city is
confronted with a problem so incon-
sistent with precedent that it has
asked it's Nose Drachman to make in
quiry and report for the benefit OF
specialists in particular and the public
in general. Those commercially in
clined persons who count eggs as they
do dollars and cents, and not as what
they might have meant to chicken DOS
terity, find that in August last there
was an excess of 30,000,000 in the re-
ceipt of eggs as compared with the
corresponding month in 1901.
No one will quibble about the exact
figures. but the PhiladeIphians express
the idea of overexertion in the hen
neries with this imposing total. Add
ed to the enormous surplus is the fact
that any number of Philadelphians
sufficiently interested, in view of their
traditional deliberativeness after rising
of mornings, could have computed so
great an aggregate within ten days
after the expiration of a given period.
However, this unwonted Quaker City
activity is not so much to the point
as is that of the hen. Ever since the
geological survey advertised for a hen
warranted to egg daily, hendom seems
to have awakened to the importance
of making a reputation. California
farmers who always find more mon
strosities and curiosities in the handi-
work of nature than any other agri-
culturists in the United States, are
discovering more double-yelked eggs
than ever before; up in Colorado
there now and then appears a woman's
rights hen that crows like a rooster,
and even doting mothers of innocent
chicks are now laying their darlings
upon the clearinghouse affairs in ages
more tender than in years gone by.
Evidently the humblest purveyor of
table things hears stories of prosper
ity. and even though 1t means no more
IN the long run to the hen than it does
to hundreds of others who reap susie
nance from her endeavors, she seems
to have caught the infection and
Joined the mighty array of wealth

WHILE WE SLEEP.
The Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are Still Working.

If the organs of the body cannot be
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwalking, the positions in stage
coach days who slept in their saddles
and cavalrymen who do it today, in
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in a
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk in their sleep are IA
miliar to all of us. Experiments made
by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes showed
that Al per cent of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked in their
sleep. A number of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep takers one-half of the women
and one-third of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tions on any subject. not alone that Of
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years of age.
Evidently. then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working, it
Is the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all of the brain. The senses
Of sight, hearing. touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the experimenter tickles It,
A child is broken of the habit of suck
ing his thumb while asleep by putting
aloes on it. He is conscious of the bit
ter taste and dreams Of wormwood.
The nerves, then, and the brain GEN.
ters corresponding to them are awake.
A busy lawyer, exhausted by over
work, one night went out to supper
with some friends, ate, talked and
walked with them, and the next day
remembered absolutely nothing of the
occurrence. He bad not been drinking.
The man was simply asleep during the
whole evening. His conscious mem.
ory-that is, consciousness itself-slept.

the common sense rule of law and
equity by the owners and servants they
have selected, or by a labor organiza-
tiOn
This may satisfy the Senators, but
it will hardly convince anybody else
1t is, of course, out of the question to
increase wages when an increase will
destroy the business Any rational
arbitration board would say SO. But
the essential question is whether an
increase of wages would destroy the
business. The miners deny that
proposition, and the outside world
would hesitate to believe it on the
mere assertion of the mine owners. If it
were submitted to a fair board, and
the evidence were produced, decision
by the board to that effect would prob
ably satisfy both the miners and the
public. And that is one of the objects
of arbitration.
And likewise neither the miners nor
ANYBODY else asks that the business
shall be managed by labor organiza-
tion. The thing that can be arbi-
trated, however, is the question wheth-
er THE labor organization or it's mem
bers receive fair and just treatment
under the management of the owners.
There is no common sense rule of
law and equity that the owners of the
source of supply of a great necessity of
life should have absolute power over
it, even to the detriment of the public
welfare. That is almost as preposter-
GUS as Mr.. Baer's idea that he and his
associates are deputed by Almighty
God to control the coal mines of the
country.

DON'T GET MORBID.
Ut rs Not "a Difficult Matter to Think
Yourself to Death.

1t rs Not "a Difficult Matter to Think
Yourself to Death.
Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
AS rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in the
world. There is the germ of fatal
thought in ninety-nine persons in every
hundred, and the exception is only
proof against the thought disease by
having been inoculated with the lymph
of optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system, the thought of
financial ruin, that one is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any
OF them or thousand similar
thoughts may carry a healthy man to
premature grave. A melancholy
thought that fixes itself upon ones
mind needs as much "doctoring' as
physical disease. 1t needs to be eradi-
Gated from the mind or it will have
j
disease would have. The thought dis
ease sometimes cures itself after run
ming its course; so does smallpox. But
who would settle down to suffer from
smallpox and chance recovery, as thou
sands of foolish persons settle down to
let the thought disease, which has at
tackled them, do it's worst?
morbid notion and every nagging wor-
ry should be resisted to the utmost.
and the patient should be physicked by
cheerful thoughts, of which there is a
store in every ones possession, bright
companiOns-chea than drugs and
pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of dozens
of cases where healthy persons have
thought themselves into having tumors
and cancers-cases which admit of no
doubt whatever that the diseases re-
suited from constant morbid fear.
There might possibly be fewer cases
of cancer if some great doctors could
assure the world that it is not hered-
itary disease, but morbid minded per-
sons on hearing that there is cancer in
their families generally do the very
worst thing they can do under the cir
cumstances - they conceive an awful
dread that they will be afflicted with
it. They dwell upon the fear constantly,
and every trifing ailment which trou-
bles them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body, and
if the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encourage
ment to develop.

THE HIGH LICENSE QUESTION.

When a dozen of the Republican
leaders of Tucson convened in the
office of the Hon. Roscoe Dale, the city
attorney, to take into consideration
the high license ordinance propesd by
Mr.. Buehman, and which was then
pending in the council, they concluded
THE best way to escape responsibility
for direct action was to submit the
question to a popular vote.
The meeting, let it not be forgotten
was held in the Office of the Hon. Ros-
coe Dale, and one of the gentlemen
who attended was Mayor Schumacher.
The advice of the Hon. Roecoe Dale
was potent. He is the legal adviser
of the city government. He recon-
mended the reference of the high Ii
cense question to the voters of the city
for approval or disapproval.
! Now the question is, did the Repub-
licans in taking this action act in good
faith? Did they mean to humbug the
people and try to escape responsibility,
or did they mean to give the people a
chance to decide the question? The
city council followed the program
carved out by the meeting, of the Re-
publican leaders.
The special election has not yet been
called though it was provided in the
council resolution that it should be
held within thirty days. A pretense
is made that the council has no legal
authority to call an election to submit
the question to the people 1t is plain,
therefore that an effort was made to
humbug the people by pretending to re-
fer the matter to popular ballot, or
that the Hon. Roscoe Dale, the city at
torney, did not know the law? Which
horn of the dilemma will the Old AL
calde and his associates assume? Will
they admit that they were merely trying
to evade responsibility and to humbug
the people, sr that Hon. Roscoe Dale
was not a learned and prudent lawyer?
It is up to the Old Alcalde. He is re-
sponsible for the city attorney.

his final remark on the death Of Talley-

WILL NOT ARBITRATE.

President Baer of the Reading Rail-
road company, one of the PRINCIPAL
operators in the anthracite coal fields
is very emphatic in his assertion that
there is nothing to arbitrate-nothina
that can be arbitrated-in the matters
IN controversy between the coal
miners and the operators. In reply
to Senators Quay and Penrose of Penn
sylvania, who urged him to settle the
strike, he put his idea in these words:
You see, Senators, none of these
things can be the subject of arbitra-
tion.
You can not arbitrate a question of
wages when the increase will destroy
the business and decrease will be un-
acceptable to the workmen.
We can not arbitrate a question as
to whether mining operations and busi-
ness generally shall be managed under

A Queer Library.

A curious collection of books is con-
tanned in the library of Warstentein.
near Cassel, in Germany. The books
appear at first sight to be logs of wood,
but each volume is really complete
history of the tree it represents. The
back shows the bark, in which a small
place is cut to write the scientific anc
common name as a title. One side
shows the tree trunk in it's natural
state, and the other is polished and
vanished. Inside are shown the leaves,
fruit, fiber and INSECT parasites. to
which is added full description of the
tree and its products.
