Tprs This ranged in the Ohio and Mississippi from
Twelve to fifteen feet Now in nearly all the rivers
bere are periods when the water is very hgh ana other
periods when 1t Is very low -.

Pennsylvania and New York-many Of them fed by
sur,ups-had regular flow the year around and We're

these States finds these creeks and rivers almost
dry in the summer and raging torrents in the spring
Many of the springs famous forty years ago are no
longer In existence Streams that then gave regular

summer time simply series Of pools Even In our largest
rivers in the dry season scarcely water enSuh for

Forty years the headwaters Of all our great river
systems were highlands covered by trees Gradually in
roads upon these forests and the mountains In

lead to great accumulation of the wheat supply In this

It is a fact that no witch was ever
burned or put to death by fire in Sc
lem or any other part of Massachu-
sets. How the impression that Cot
ton Mather and his associates had
perpetrated that horror gained cur
rency is inexplicable, but 1t has been
floating around for generations, and
in all probability will ''go on forever"
Salem was the scene Of the trial. con.
victien and execution by hanging of
persons accused Of witchcraft. says
the Washington Star. Gallows hill,
the eminenGe on which the hangings
occurred, is perhaps the most inter-
esting show place in New England.
1t may be doubted iR more sincere or
conscientious men ever lived than Cot
ton Mather and his brethren. They
went to the Bible for their authority,
to the Mosaic law, emitting the Chris.
tian dispensation. That law told them,
'"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to
live" Firmly believing In witchcraft
and having no doubt that they had
witches to deal with, what were they
to do but to kill them? From their
point Of view they exercised great hui
manity in employing the gallows rath

, Physicians are calling attention to
the alarming increase of pneumonia.
Figures compiled by the health COM
missioner Of Chicago show that In 1900
the disease stood side by side with
consumption, as regards the number
of deaths throughout the whole coun-
try, and that since then the mortality
rate in the one has increased and In
the other has fallen. Pneumonia, there
fore, may now be said to have dis
placed the great white plague" as the
most terrible human scourge. Good
evidence of the highly communicable
character of pneumonia comes from
Chicago, where thirty-eight cases oc-
CURED among the three hundred EN-.
ployes OF the county treasurer's Office,
and eight resulted fatally. The evi.
dence Of contagiousness is in one ne.
speet encouraging, for it will lead ia
the establishment of the same safe
guards as those which have checked
consumption. ~

It is not generally known that Joh1.
w. Guiteau, brother of Charles J.
Guiteau, who shot Garfield, Is in many
respects the greatest statistician in the
world. Guiteau Is a veritable crank on
figures, but his crankiness Is very prof
liable. Just now the government is
under contract to pay him $25 900 for
certain tabulations. The big insurance
companies are his profitable clients,
Guiteau Is the only man who has, sue
ceeded In getting inside the books of
Dun's and Bradstreet's commercial
agencies 1t was he who gave out the
startling statement that the books Of
these companies contained but per
cent Of the names that were there
twenty years ago! What a pathetic
story of the premature deaths and
business failures of twenty years.
But here Is more of the same
sort! Guiteau says that of the
men of this country who live to
be go years of age so out of every
100 are absolutely dependent upon 9th
ers for living. That is an appalling
revelation. OF every 1000 human
barques that with precious argosies set
buoyant sail 500 are wrecked on the
coasts Of business failure. Failure!
Eight Of every ten who fight in the
business arena bite the sawdust. For
men do fight to-day as they fought in
the arena at Rome and Antioch. And
20 of the 100 are carried out dead or
defeated. Why? Because of connect
ton. Because of extravaganza, bad
habits and many other tings. But
largely, because of speculation.
Read the list of the victims of the
get-rlch-quick swindles at New Or
leans and st. Louis. Men, women
and children-all were trying to get
something for nothing. And there
Is gambling on the board of trade
where the maelstrom swallows men
alive. The wheat pit is only thirty
feet across. But it has swallowed
whole fleets of business cargoes.
1t is only few feet deep, but it has
let thousands Of souls down to Hades!
The man who Is doing we'll becomes
dissatisfied. He reasons: Il work like
slave and save few dollars. So
and so makes dollars where l make
cents. He runs the risk. Why should
I not venture?" And before he knows
1t he is In deep water and unable to
swim. We are nation of specula-
tors. The craving for wealth becomes
"a disease. Men are money drunk.
This is not rhetoric. 1t Is fact. Gov
eminent and insurance companies pay
men like Guiteau large sums of money
for disclosing this real history He who
runs may read 1t.

In bygone times 1t was the practice
of the Newfoundland coast folk to ap-

portable and valuable articles, such as
silverware there is still strong temp
