THE SECOND

PRECINCT CLUB PROPOSES TO
NAME CANDIDATES FOR DELE
GATES ON WEDNESDAY.

The second precinct of the Fourth
District held netting last night to
consider the matter of nominations for
the primary next week. The club
didn't approve the action OF the Central
Committee in providing for nominations
of delegates to the convention only one
day before the voting. In fact
club decided practically to refuse to
follow this plan and will meet early in
the week to consider nominees, meeting
again on Friday to formally name them
The meeting was held at the resi-
dence of c. NJ. White. There was a
good deal of discussion of methods of
selecting good men and sentiment was
shown in favor of having the clubs
delegates to the convention pledged to
vote for suitable candidates. Another
meeting for which j. A. Gilman offered
the free use of his tent, is to be held
next Wednesday evening.
The election of officers resulted in the
following being chosen: President J. H.
Soper, First Vice President Hiram
Kolomoku, Second Vice President NJ.

Another Complication.
Mexican Hats for Export.
From Modern Mexico.

From Modern Mexico.
A line Of industry which is in it's infancy,
but bids fair in the near future to be of
considerable Importance, is the exporta-
ton of hats to the United States. While
the wool and felt hats Will probably never
be very important article of export. as
west, and among the few who like to own
a real Mexican sombrero,'' there is a
probability of extending the commerce in
straw and palm hats almost indefinitely.
The finer grade of palm hats. which are
admirably adapted for the summer season
at seaside and in the country and in all
picnic and outing expeditions. can be laid
down in the American market at figures
which will enable them to compete advan-
tageously with the various classes of straw
hats in use there. Reference is made to
the classes known as "de trenza." which
range in price from 81 to so (Mexican
money!, according to the fineness Of the
braid and quality Of the palm.
The hats woven in one piece, and which
sell here at from 10 cents to 80 cents
apiece, and the straw hat ranging In price
from Is cents to 81 could undoubtedly be
exported to the United States to advan-
tage. 1t is rather strange that some OF
our enterprising hat men have never pro-
cured models from the United States. so
that these various classes Of hats may be
braided to suit the foreign taste. An or
der was received in this city few days
since from an interior city of the United
States for something like 1000 gross OF
palm hats. If they could be produced in the
this trade should not result in the ex-
portation annually OF hundreds of thou
sands of gross for use during the hot
season in the United States.

A WONDERFUL INSECT.
Firefy Which Does Away With Need

From the Philadelphia H.eord.o

From the Philadelphia Record
Have you ever heard Of, the cucujo? II
you are one OF those unfoEtunates who are
in the habit OF grumhling at gas bills you
will wish that the place was swarming with
cucujos so that the gas companies might
be circumvented. The cusu1o is the FREELY
of the tropics. and 1t is the most brilliant Of
the whole tribe of Aght-giving insects or
animals. Thirty-eigft of them yield one

illumination. People in Cuba confine them
in paper lanterns for going about the coun-
try at night or for indoor lighting. Some
times they attach one of the insects to each
foot for travelling In the dark to serve as a
guide to the path; also, they use them as
ornaments for the dress and hair
Cucu1os are beetles. beginning life as

sometimes called. because when placed on
their backs they jump over with clicking

two luminous spots on the thorax and an
other on the abdomen. Damp evenings are
most favorable to the light-gdvang, the OBJ

snails, to which their bite is poisonous. The

CURE FOR RINDERPEsT.
An Interesting Experiment With Qui-
nine by Ryots in India.
From the Straits Echo.

From the Straits Echo.
An announcement made recently by Mr..
Mukerji, NJ. A., deputy magistrate of Dunn
ka, Santal Parganas, that the ignorant
ryots of his district used quinine for the
cure of rinderpest in cattle. with excellent
results created somewhat of a sensation In
agricultural and veterinary circles in India
and Ceylon. Mr.. Mukerji claimed no merit
of the discovery. which. like most impor-
tant events was the result of an accident.
A santal of Dumka, who had been in the
habit of buying Quinine for fever from the
local postmaster. wished to know II the
medicine was good for cattle. The post
master could not enlighten him. but the
peasant was determined to try. arguing
with strong primal knowledge that what
was good for man was good for beast. He
bought forty grains and gave 1t to his COW.
A few days afterWard he reported cure.
Now. IT so happened that the deputy magis-
trate of this out-of-the-way corner of Ben
gal is a gentleman who went through
special course of agriculture in the Sibpur
College, and did so well that he eventually
became Holland gold medalist of the Royal
Agricultural College, Cirencester, and a fell
low of the Highland and Agricultural So
ciety. Mr.. MukerH was naturally interested
in the santaHs experiment. and proceeded
to investigate matters. He found that the
COW had been suffering from rinderpest
and the quinine administered in the febrile
stage of the disease effected complete
cure. He FASTENED to make the discovery
public. remarking. very pertinently, that
If segregation, injection of serum or en-
ployment of expensive medicines can all be
avoided and rinderpest actually cured by
two annas' worth of quinine the benefit to
the country will be incalculable. In view OF
the enormous cattle mortality from rinder-
pest the virtue of quinine as remedy
should be thoroughly tested, SAYS Indian
Engineering. and a commission of inquiry
appointed which might really mark an era
in veterinary science in India

School Children Overworked.

From the Austin Statesman.
As a matter of fact. not only Is too much
stress given to the literary and logical
equipment of teachers. too little given to
the sociological and psychological equip
ment but teachers are overworked. Our
schools are overcrowded, our teachers over
burdened with pupils. Nor is 1t quite GER
tain that the curriculum Is not overbur-
dered with studies and too much mental &C
tivity demanded In too short space Of
time. No provision to speak of is made
for lectures and the development of the
moral nature. The schools are made too
much like engines with which TO stuff the
mind with a given amount OF information
to be committed to memory without regard
10 It's ability to digest and assmilate They
work too much on the principle OF 4 sausage
suffer, which must put so much meat In
each skin whether II bursts the receptacle
or not. Indeed. many a child's mental and
physical health Is sacrificed to the grind of
the school mills all because there is no
method by which instruction can be suited
to che needs and abilities OF the pupil.
