No Laneuage of Their own.

Among the peoples of the world the
Swiss are alone1in having noIlanguage
they can call their own. According to
a recent visitor to the little country,
about three fourths of the people of
Switzerland speak German, iwhile the
remainder divide four other languages
among them, mainly French and Ital-
ian. the languages varying as n rule
according to the proximity of the peO-
pie to each country whose tongue they
speak. Publici documents and notices
are printed in both French and Ger
man.
In the Swiss congress-, or national
parliament. the members make their
speeches either in Frenchlor German,
for nearly all the nlcmberSbunderstan
both languages. The, orders of the pres
ident are translated by an official in
terpreter and furnished to thefnewspa-
pers in both languages.

A French Dog story.

A Partisan lady went out recently
for a walk in the Avenue de Clichy,
taking with her toy terrier. which
she held by a string. While she was
looking into shop window two mis-
chievous boys substituted a bone for
the dog. A Great Dane then appeared
on the scene, and. seeing the bone,
made a dash and swallowed it, string
included. The lady turned round and
in despair cried out that the Greht
Dane had eaten her pet. The little dog
was found later on. much to the joy of
his mistress, who carried him off in a
cab.

CurIo.i,Ien OF Color.

After any severe shock you will DO
very likely to find that you have be-
come temporarily color blind.
Your perception of green light has
probably gone, at least partially. White
objects will then appear'to you of a
reddish purple and green objects to be
very much duller in hue than Ordi-
narily.
ANY one can make himself or herself
temporarily color blind by wearing a
pair of ruby red glasses. The prolonged
action of red light on the eyes ends by
firing out the nerves which receive red
light. Consequently when the glasses
are at last removed a rainbow appears
to have only two colors-yellow and
blue =.

GASOLINE AGAIN
Threatening Fire Started in Hurst
Block Last Evening by
an Explosion.
A LAMP IGNITEs THE FUMTs
Prompt Work Prevents Personal
Injury and Reduces Property
Loss.

Mrs. Emma Berger was slightly
amounting to about 5000 was done by
a fire in the store and fiat building, SO
Twentieth street, about o'clock
last night. Mrs. Bergcr's injuries
might have been more severe had not
others come promptly to her rescue,
and the property loss would have been
much more extensive had not the fire
department rendered efficient service.
1t was another case arising from
the ill-advised use of gasoline. Mrs.
Berger was using gasoline in her bed
room near Il lamp, and the fumes be
coming ignited caused an explosion,
setting fire to her clothing and the
interior of her room in an instant.
Roomers in the flat heard her
screams and quickly assisted in
smothering the blaze in her garments
so that the burns inflicted were of
minor nature only. An alarm was
turned in. and the department arriv-
ing promptly proceeded to save the
premises.
Hampered by Smoke.
In this the iircmen found themselves
handicapped by the dense volume of
smoke arising from the burning bed
clothes and it was necessary to throw
more water than would have been the
case ordinarily. The fire was confined
to three rooms, though the smoke per-
vaded the entire apartment and the
loss from that source will be almost
as great as that from the fire itself
Some water found its way through TO
the quarters of the Singer sewing
machine agency below.
Mrs. Berger's loss is estimated at
5000 and there is no insurance. The
loss on the building is placed at $500,
which Hon. +. w Hurst. the owner,
has amply covered by insurance.

Wise Fears War of Race

At the annual Lincoln night OF

OF the speakers. In part lis adj

Gods name have you encouraged
the blacks 50 long? Will You help
the whites? Then you will find
the struggle transferred, even
here. The nation must say to the
south, either obey the constitu-
tional mandate and let the negro
vote, or else submit to a reduction
"This question:" Mr. Wise assert

Among our exchanges we have
noticed a paper or two casting
about hare and there for some ar
gument to present to their readers
that would in some degree tone
down the crime of the shooting of
Editor Gonzales bv Lieut-GovernOr
Tillman of South Carolina. The
ground, that it is the custom in the
south to shoot when ones chafac-
ter has been attacked, is taken to
make the crime of the shedding Of
blood under such circumstances
less terrible.
If suclfb be the custom, to decide
as to the degree of horribIenesS as
sociated with the taking Of the
life of fellow-being in accordance
with such custom, we might ask
Dir. Tillman. Should he speak the
truth we have 10 doubt but that
lie would condem the custom most
bitterly, and would earnestly wish
shat his hands were now free from
the blood of his fellowman.

The Board of Supervisors

Feb. 18th 1903-In regard to
law passed two years ago, provid
ing that idiots and harmless luna
ties be removed from the asylum.
to the counties and cities from
whence they came, that it NAV not
be enforced, the Board considering
that such action would work an
undue hardship on the various
counties and cities, as well as de-
tract from the comforts and care
of the persons mentioned, passed
the following resolution:
"Resolved that our Representa-
tiyes in the Senate and House of
Delegates of Virginia, be and they
are hereby requested to use their
best endeay0rs to have a bill passed
repeating section 1881, chapter 933,
Acts Of Assembly 1899 1900, where
by it is provided that idiots and
harmless lunatics should be return
ed from the various asylums to the
county or corporation whence they
came to be cared for"
The Board laid the levy for 1903.
which ia the same as last year. viz:
For approximate county expenses
for year of 81, 500; for interest on
county bonds amounting to 81 40;
for making new roads and repair
ing unforeseen damages to roads,
fifty cents per capita, and from the
owners Of both real and personal
property sixty cents on the one
hundred dollars.
For county school purposes for
the year beginning Augusta 1903,
Il levy of ten cents on the one hun
dred dollars of real a d personal
property and ten cents for district
school purposes in Bluegrass and
Monterey districts and twenty cents
on the one hundred dollars in
StonewalI district. The right to
increase The district school tax in
Stonewall, was by an act of the
Legislature approved in 1893, which
extra tax goes to increase the sala-
ry Of teachers.
The claim presented by Ell Nc.
Clintic fer sheep killed by'dogs was
received by the Board but action
ON same WAS deferred until the
next meeting.
1t may be that in this matter a
question will arise as to the time
the law went into effect. 1t Was
passed in March 1902.
