The Too Strenuous Life.

We have always had some doubt Of
the strenuous life advocated by Presi-

looking after ends. He wants us to
hurry and rush and bang because by
this process we can get somewhere

strain of President Roosevelt's life

Let the Facts Be known.


The postmaster general perseveres
In the attitude he has seen fit to as
sumo toward the public demand for
light on the scandals in the postoffice
department. Mr.. Payne does not con-
cede that the public has any right
to information on the subject. The
people of the United States, whose
postofiice system is their vital concern.
want to know. and have "a right to
know, what this investigation disclos-
es as 1t goes on. They demand the
facts now. Mr.. Payne should be made
to appreciate the seriousness and mag
nitude of this demand. We can dis
pense with the postmaster generals
stories; we can struggle on without
his merry quips, but we cannot re-
main satisfied until he gives us the
facts about the postoffice department
which are In his possession and ought
to be also in our own.-Philadelphia

Protecting the Weak Rsces. n'A "

The lot of the inferior and unpro-
gressive races is hard, but there is no
way of protecting them against tho
march Of civilization except when
strong powers differ as to the disposi-
tiol of the land occupied by them.
Fol instance, we can keep European
political systems out of South Ameri-
ca, but we cannot-or at any rate we
have not tried to = keep Europeans
from settling in South American coun-
tries. And If large numbers of Ger
mans and Englishmen were to make
their homes In Venezuela, for example,
the country would become German and
English, even though there were not
a German or English soldier within the
country. 1t will be so in Manchuria.
The land will be conquered without
the help of soldiers and no power or
combination of powers can prevent it.

EnsIsnd's Hard Luck In Africa.

England has had hard luck in Afri-
ca. from Egypt to the Transvaal. What
with fanatics who achieve Heaven
through a violent death and Fuzzy
Wuzzies who are disinclined to shoot
up their blood relations, the Mad Null
lah has proved a formidable and re-
lentless foe. The latest disaster comes
from Somaliland, which the British
have for long time been trying to
pacify. The Mad Mullah's mission in
life is to, preach the Gospel according
to his lights and to cut sup, destroy
and annihilate British and Egyptian
troops sent to demonstrate with him.
On April 1S he caught Major Plunkett,
with a command of two hundred
Sikhs and African rifles, at Gumbur-,
ru, which is somewhere in the center
of Somaliland. Nine British officers
and nearly the entire force OF native
troops were killed. Ran out OF am
munition and fought with the bayonet
until overwhelmed" reads the de-
sratch. Hadji Mohammed Abdullah,
the Mad Mullah, only achieved politi-
Gel prominence a few years ago. After
a pilgrimage to Mecca (Which may or
may not have consisted OF, trip to
Feringhi rife manufactories) he re-
turned to the desert to revive the re-
ligious spirit of the tribesmen and
back mp his new creed with Martins
and patent ammunition, which he had
In great plenty. A bold man and
prophet (who possessed rifes), the fame
OF Mad Mullah extended into Abyssinia;
the tribes to the number Of $4,000 in
sane men gathered to his standard,
and in 1899 with an army at his heels
he declared war" on the British in
vader, Then began the Somaliland
campaign.-Collier's Weekly.

from Springfield, however, denied lha,
the visit of Mr.. CARRIER was for any

EXPERIMENT ON SMOKERS.
DR.. Wiley Wants TO Learn Effects OF
Tobacco on Human system.

OEa wiley kNAAAS 10 Learn E15f&ENA OF
Tobacco on Human system.
The United States government,
through DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
chemist Of the agricultural department,
viii investigate the effect Of tobacco on
the human system, says a Washington
special to the New York World
DR. Wiley will make these expert
ments carefully and thoroughly. He
will not begin them until he has con-
eluded his examination Of adulterated
food products. He will probably utilize
the same class that has for several
weeks been fed on food containing
borie acid, and that beginning Oct.
will experiment with salicylie acid
When Or. Wiley begins with tobacco
his inquiry viii be pursued along the
same lines as In the case Of food prod
ucts. He will take pure tobacco in va
rious forms, smoking and chewing, and
see what effect its use has upon the
consumer whes taken in small qnanti-
ties and larger quantities He will
then take up the adulterated tobacco
or favored tobacco and ascertain by
experiments what effect it has upon
the system.
Or. Wiley has not decided whether
he win use foreign or domestic tobac-
co. 1t Is DR. Wiley's intention to take
men who are regular smokers and dis.
certain their physical condition as to
their heart ssdon, breathing and diges-
ton while continuing the use of tobac-
co under normal conditions and to have
them suddenly cease its use. The ef-
feet Of such stoppage win be carefully
noted, and nr. Wiley expects to be able
to report upon the benefits or Injuries
in the sudden change Of the habits Of
smokers and chewers
After the effects Of the prolonged use
Of tobacco have been eradicated from
the system 1t Is proposed that the sub
jects Of experiment shall recommence
the use Of tobacco, beginning TN small
quantities, which viii be gradually IN
creased until they are using as much
or more than when the experiments
first began.

A MOSQUITO PARASITE.


Worm Discovered which Is said to
XIII the Pest.
Or. stiles Of the public health service
at Washington is of the opinion that
there is a parasite Of the mosquito
which may be employed 10 reduce the
pest says the New York Times This
is the mermis or round worm. 1t is a
threadiike creature with six papillm
and lives i'd the stomach Of the mos
quito
The insect was brought to the atten-
ton Of the public health authorities by
Professor John B. Smith of Rutgers
college. a noted expert on mosquitoes.
While little is known yet Of the habits
Of the mermis, it Is believed that It
fastens on the mosquito in the water
and accompanies its host as the latter
develops from the pupa.
The infested mosquito is sluggish in
its actions and evidently does not like
It's inhabitants It has been proved
beyond doubt that the mermis finally
causes the death Of the mosquito, and
1t is not unlikely that by cultivation the
parasite may be made to exterminate
or greatly reduce the mosquito pest.

She rose and turned her back on the
door Of the outer waiting room. But
the mans face haunted her Ii was
the helpless look in his eyes Of one

and turned with a sudden determine

sat down weakly. One hand went out
and, grasping newspaper which lay
near, held it before bis face. Above it
his eyes were fixed in a hungry gaze
Mrs. Mcguire knew that his search
was ended.
She turned slowly, following the di-
rection Of his eyes, and noticed for the
first time a small, pale woman sitting
with her profile toward the door, The
brown hair which lay softly on her
temples was plentifully streaked with
gray. Her blue eyes held the brightness
Of unshed tears. The hands, which
held shabby gripsack on her lap,
clutched It as If it were some fast
slipping resolve.

straight to the man who sat outside
