VENEZUELA IS DECAYING.
German Traveller stater That Mined q Negroes and Indians Are Get
 ting ar Upper Hand.

Dr. Passarge, the noted traveller, who has just returned from Vene- zuela, says, according to Berlin re port:
 President Castro is full-blooded Indian and an energetic man without political wisdom. He rose suddenly from magistrate of remote village at the foot of the Andes to the presi- dency, and his rapid rise made him overconfident.
 .sThe present situation is due 10 two facts: Germany suddenly sus- pended the pressure of the early part of the war, which diminished the re- spect in which she was held by Presi- dent Castro; secondly, the attitude of the officials of the great Venezue- Ian railroad toward President Cas- tro. Germany's first principle must be not to meddle in the internal af- fairs of Venezuela. But the railroad officials forgot this" Dr. Passarge describes the state as drifting to certain decay and as fol- lowing a steadily downward course since Gen. Blanco's presidency. The color question plays an important role in political tendencies. The mixed negroes and Indians, etc, are getting an upper hand ir ecciety and politics.

GLASS DRINKING VESSELS.
There Is 8 Question as to Whether They Are Always Free from
 Disease Germs.

It is we'll known that glass has now almost completely replaced metal, horn and leather for the bot tie or drinking cup, although it is not so very long ago that the leather bottle and horn drinking-cup were extant. Whether this change could possibly have introduced any preiu- dice to the common health is an in- teresting patter for speculation It lis not true, though it is commonly supposed to be so, that glass is un- attacked or completely undissolved by water and many other. fluids in Household use. On the contrary, the indelible marks which often appear lon water bottle arise from the action of the water upon the glass. Pure distilled water, showing neither an acid nor an alkaline reaction, which has been allowed to remain in a closed glass bottle for some rSime will gradually develop an aka line reaction, owing to the base of the mixed silicate of the glass dis solving in the water. At the same time deposit of silica will generally be found at the bottom, states the London Lancet.
 This obviously shows Association of constituents and the glass yields 4up it's silica and it's all1ali to water. With acid fluids, the same action may be observed, and it is conceivable that with acid wines kept long in bottle some considerable action upon the glass may occur. Weak acid solutions cease to be acid after be- ing kept in glass bottles for some time, owing to the neutraliza ation of the acids by the alkali of the glass, and at the same time 1occulent and generally ir:descent deposit is found in the bottle consisting of silica This deposit is constant source of trouble to druggists.
 Though the glass-dissolving power of most fluids in domestic use must be very small, yet considering that these fluids are continually in contact with glass, either in the bottle or the tumbler, there car be little doubt that traces of the constituents of glass are ingested. It has even been suggested that the practically uH1VerSa1 use or BldSS III OllS way III the place of the old drinking vessels of wood or horn or of the glass bot tie for the leather or skin vessel has contributed means of rendering the vermiform appendix easily liable to an. infammatory process by the Irritation set up by siliceous partl- sles.
 This ingenious theory of the in creased prevalence of appendicitis being due to the universal use o1 plass<or drinking vesesls can hardly be seriously regarded when it is considered that silica is frequent constituent of a number of foods. As is well known, silica is the support of the wheat stalk, as lime asso ciated with phosphates is of the hu man frame.

Wax in Tree

A new and important, ,.. iHr renneu paraffine wax seems to have been dis covered by a man living near Lan- caster. o. He had two trees which were badly damaged by storm, one being maple and the other an apple tree. Tn each case. large limb was broken down from the trunk, but stiSl attachcdto it. The limbs were propped up and fastened securely with straps, very much as a broken leg might be fastened, with splints, and. then melted refined wax was poured into and, over all the cracks. The Surgical opera tion'' was entirely successful. The paraffine prevented the escape of the sap, kept out the moisture which would have routed the trees, and pre- vented the depredations of insects.- Success.

COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONS.
Nap cf Money Who Labor to Turn
 Their Business Into Institutions . of Usefulness.

The truth is, we hear too much about the comnercialism of the pro- fessions. There are men who vulgar ize them all, no doubt, and who sell their craft-right for a mess of mill lions, for there have always been such men, says Worlds Work. But there is another tendency of our time that is far stronger than the tendency to get wealth; it is the ten dency to establish, to build, and to maintain institutions-inst tons of any useful and honorable kind. Men give themselves in the and universities, hospitals, museums, clubs, associations for the advance ment of trades and professions, libra ries-there is no end of tho list. Men labor to turn their business into insti- tutions. Many founders of great com mercial houses work for their honor able perpetuity.
 Many manufacturers plan their fac- tories so as to give them an instltu- tional character and value. The naturally conservative tendency of an dcIlVe people IS JoWaTu 1ESIlIuIlon building. Strong men in almost every department of work show such a ten dency, often as . dominant trait of character, and this is q stronger mo- tive than the mere wish to be rich. i The rich man who stands alone, who has not established something, who ; is not identified with some great in- stitution. commercial or public, is not

TRAGEDY IN KANSAS.
Hoy Climbs q CornstaIIx Which Grows So Fast That He Is Unable

Many remarkable stories are com ing from Kansas regarding the won derful corn crop. Some of them have their humorous side, but this one, taken from little paper published near Lees Summit, tells of tragedy such as well may shock the whole corn belt:
 This horrible news comes from Blue Springs that near that town the other day Willie McKeighan climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and the stalk is grow

Three men have undertaken to cut down the stalk with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows SD fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn, and has all ready thrown down over four bushels of cobs.''
 It is reported that the stalk has at tained such dizzy height that the cobs now catch fire and are con
