Rodents.

It is now well known that rats have
been the medium OF spreading plague,
and in infested districts the dead
bodies of these vermin have been
found in great numbers According to
a correspondent of the London Post,
the Japanese officials at Kobe lately
ordered all rats to be destroyed, and
have distributed packages of poison in
order that the edict may be carried
out. These packages bear instructions
printed in Japanese, German and Eng
lish. The wording of the latter is
rather peculiar: Eat not the con-
tents, for it is forbidden. # anybody,
by carelessness, eats of them, let him
report at once to the nearest police
man, and ii none is, to be found, then
report to the coroner. II any arsenic

to the rats that they must not die in
their holes, as the latter is forbidden
under the heaviest penalties.

1nfallible insomnia Cure.

Two distinguished Berlin physicians,
Profs. Emil Fischer and Won Mering,
have discovered what they regard as
an infallible cure for insomnia. They
call it veronal. 1t has been used with
remarkable results, it is said, in a
large Berlin hospital by Prof. Lillen-
field, who expresses the firm convic-
ton that no other medicine to pro-
duce sleep approaches veronal in GER
tainty and intensity. He administered
$50 doses to 60 patients of both sexes
and various ages. Each morning after
the dose the patient was fresh and felt
as il the sleep had been wholly ma
ural. In all of the experimental cases
the heart and lungs performed their
functions with the utmost exactitude.

made notes for his speeches with his
glasses dangling from his buttonhole

for it seemed a dead certainty that if
he should roll over in the night he would
smash the things to atoms and per-

broken unless the pieces had happened
to injure his eyes, but have seen other
travellers with specially prepared glass

clasps and other appliances to hold them
in place, and the eyeglass crank who
goes to sleep with pair of them on can
stand all the jolting the toughest road

FLOWER WITH DEADLY. oDoF.
Hitherto Unknown Species OF PlaHt
Recently DiscOveredin SOUTH
ern California.

A tree hitherto unknown to botan-
lists was recently discovered in %
mountain canyon in spur Of the San
Jacinto mountains, In California, down
near the Mexican line It was discov-
cred by party of pr0spectors who
penetrated the canyon in search of Wa
ter. A branch of the tree and its blos-
SONS were brought to this city fer
classification, but it is unknown 20
Dotanists in this city, says the Chicago
Chronicle
The leaves Of the tree resemble IN
size and shape the fix leaf, but they
IRE of vivid purple color and the u1-
der side Of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs, which stand out from
the leaf fully half an. inch; These
hairs are sharp and thornlike ard
easily penetrate tine skin, and when
they do SO they are poisonous, causing
swelling and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are of
q rusty red color and are about two
inches IL diameter. In shape they are
q very good representation of the
tarantula. There is huge hairy bulb
in shape resembling the abdomen sof
the poisonous spider, and there Gre
several chives. or stamens corre-
spending to the legs Of that insect. ]
The most peculiar feature of the
plant, however, remains to- be tod.
Whenever one approaches the plaht,
or when the wind agitates the branch
es of the tree. the flowers give OF an
abundance Of perfume heavy, sicken-
ing and deadly. This perfume has the
quality of chloroform and q few IN
halations Of the odor produce unctir-
seriousness. The prospectors who
made the discovery Of the plant were
rendered insensible upon approaching
the tree to examine it.
AS the plant seems to have no 30
tanical name, two names have been
suggested by the qualities of the plant
itself. One is tarantula plant. she
other chloroform Tree.

FALL GOWNS. AND. COATS.
Coming styles Distinctly Different
from Those In Vogue
Year Ago.

Some of the new gowns are extreme
ly interesting on account of their new
sleeves and their new jackets. It is the
custom at nice seashore places and
mountain resorts for the women to re-
serve a dress or two until late in the
season to be brought out fresh. just
when everybody else Is wearing gowns
that are faded from wear all the sea-
son, reports the Brooklyn Eagle. d
Recent gowns worn at Newport show
the most beautiful little shoulder capes.
cut as deep as the shoulders, with long,
wide stoles that come down below the
belt. These stoles are embroidered and,
instead of hanging straight, some Of
them are turned back and thrown over
the shoulders. @
: Again there are the Norfolk jackets,
which are made of taffeta. They are
not strictly Norfolks, for they are long
ef in the front than in the back, and the
box plaits are stitched fiat. They are
belted, but the belt, which is run
through strappings Of silk, is very loose
and is pushed down low in the front.
1t is certain that one of the sensa-
lions of the year will be sprung when
the fall coats are displayed, for they will
be distinctly different from the coats Of
a year ago. S
The long coat was certainly an inno-
walton and such a popular one that it
has grown in grace from year to year
until now it is necessity with young
and old, with those who dress great
deal and those who do not dress at all.
1t must be admitted that the coats Of
autumn threaten to be rather loose, but
one is becoming accustomed to the
loose flowing lines.

QUIT YOUR WHINING.
Get 1t Out of Your Voice, or Il VIII
Affect Both Mind and
Body.

There isn't anything in the world
more disagreeable than whining per-
son.
He whines if 1t is hot. He whiRes II
it is cold. He whines at this, he whines
at that, he whines at everything. Whine,
whine, whine.
1t is just bad habit he has fallen into.
There is nothing the matter with him.
It is just bad habit, says Medical Talk
for the Home.
The wilmer is generally an idle per-
son or lazy one. What he needs is to
be set at work. At real hard work,
mental or physical. Some work that
will interest him and engage his whole
attention and he will not have time to
whine.
We know two women. One of them
does her own Homework and takes care
of her horse besides. She is happy and
singing all the day long. The keyboard
of her life sounds no whining note. 1t
is a pleasure to be with her, good,
wholesome tonic to watch her. 5
The other woman is SO situated that
she does not have to work. Nothing to
do but to amuse herself She has no
zest in life, no interest In anything. She,
is bunch of selfishness and whines at
everything. Whining has become such
a habit with her that her most casual re-
mark is tinged with whine. She is
miserable herself and makes everybody
else in her presence miserable. She is
q weakling, parasite. A drag, heavy
weight on somebody all the time.
Get the whine out of your voice, or it
will stop the development and growth
of your body. It will narrow and shrink
your mind It will drive away your
friends. 1t will make you unpopular.
Quit your whining. Brace up. Go
to work. Be something. Stand for
something. Fill your place in the uni
verse. Instead of whining around ex-
citing only pity and contempt, face about
AMI make something ofyourself. Reach
up to the stature of strong, ennobling
manhood, to the beauty and strength OF
a superb womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with You.
Just quit your whining and go to work.

INDEPENDENT calls attention once more

while our industries are expanding

gas and our coal beds as recklessly as
If we thought they would lastioreveI.
Prof. Gorby declares that the waste oa

in value to $4,000 per day. Within
single century we have annihilated y
per cent. of our magnificent forest trees,
q waste without parallel in history, ana
one for which posterity will surely re-
proach us. 90
Our waste of food is appalling. Cook
ing is a lost art IN the average house,
hold. At least 100000 is every year
thrown away in defective cooking; So
Prof Matthews estimates. There Is ny
comfort in the fact that the Engllsn
people are just as prodigal. though they
have a much leaner pantry to draw UP
on. Prof. Marshall, an eminent Engilsa
economist, says the British Working
classes spend $500, 100000 every year
for things that give them neither CONF
fort nor happiness, and the president
of the British association recently e1-
pressed his belief that this vast suIn
was wasted in food alone.
On our farms twice as much fool
products at least are grown as are coz
sumed. An agricultural expert recentlF
estimated that one-half of all the frutt
grown in American orchards rots un-
eaten. The further loss from insects.
ignorant cultivation, careless handling
and poor storage is incalculable.
Probably the greatest waste OF all y
that which seems to be involuntary on
the part of our working people. They
buy their bread at retail and pay three
times as much for it as if they bought
it in -four by the barrel. 1t Is the teA-
timony of retail butchers that the poor
buy meats also with far less frugality
than the erich.g Edward Atkinson has
been for 20 years showing by practical
experiments that the largest amount
of nourishment can be obtained from
the cheapest cuts of meat, il they are
so cooked as to save instead Of throw
