" When the ghost walks, as synony-
nous with salary day is a familiar
term, but never yet saw in print an
explanation of its origin" said vete-
ran actor, according to an exchange.
Like most of the technical express
siOns of the stage land, this phrase
comes from England. In the days of
Macready a provincial company was
playing Hamlet at Lavenham, in Suf-
folk.
Salaries were constantly in arrears,
and the suspicion began to grow among
the members of the company that the
manager intended to defraud them.
ION the last night of the engage
ment the performance went along
smoothly enough up to that passage of
the tragedy in which the ghost dis
appears, and Hamlet says: 'Perchance
twill walk again Then from behind
the scenes came the ghosts voice in
tone distinctly audible to every one:
No, this ghost will walk no more I'M
til his salary is paid "

The Department of Agriculture is
very hopeful of success in growing
Egyptian cotton in this country on a
large scale. Mr.. Kearney, of the Gov
eminent Bureau of Soils, in an inter-
view day or two ago said that the
governments experiments had demon
strated, apparently, that Egyptian cot
ton can be grown practically in the
entire cotton belt These experiments
have been made during the past two
years and the Department of Agricul-
ture ought to be in a position to speak
authoritatively in regard to the grow
ing Of Egyptian cotton, According to
a dispatch in the New York Evening
Post the test planting has been done
at Calexico Yuma, the Pecos Valley,
New Mexico, and in Texas. Paintings
were also made at points further east,
in Louisiana, Georgia and South Caro-
lima The results have demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the department
that we can grow cotton equal to
the best white Egyptian, which is ac-
cepted as the standard.

calities in the United States in refer
ence to its growth. Considerable in
terest attaches to the experiment of
CaleXico, which is about fifteen miles
south of the irrigation settlement of
Imperial in Southern California. The
cotton growing industry is new in that
locality. Last year the experiment
was not entirely satisfactory The first
paintings were destroyed by storms, so
that the cotton did not get started
until many weeks after it should, and
when the frost came the bolls were
caught immature, and only a partial
yield was secured. But the quality
OF the cotton was so good as to re-
deem the experiments from complete
failure. Samples We're sent to manu-
facturers in different parts of the coun-
try, and they were almost unanimous
in pronouncing it equal to the best
white Egyptian. This year the plant

TnE NEWARK TRoLLEY CASE.


The result of the trial of the case
at Newark, N. j., against President
Cassett of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
and a half dozen other millionaires is
not a surprise. 1t is doubtful if it
was believed by many that there would
be a verdict against them.
AS is well known, the charge was
manslaughter. They are all directors
of a trolley line that crosses the rail-
road tracks of the Delaware and Lack
awanna Railroad in Newark The
crossing is what is known as a grade
crossing. The railroad track is in
depression, and the trolley track APP
proaches it from either side at a down
grade. There is always a Waterman
at the crossing and there are gates.
What happened last winter was this: A
trolley car loaded with children bound
for school approached the crossing.
The conductor, seeing that the gate
was closed, undertook to stop his car,
but as the tracks were covered with
snow and ice, the brakes wouldn't hold
A. AAC NoA oAAQ WIN 6AEelb fCiOCAly
and reached the track just as a train
was about to pass. There was coll
lision, and many children were killed.
There was great indignation, and it
is probable that if the directors of the
trolley line had been within reaching
distance they would have been attack
ed, so great was the feeling against
them. IL was claimed they were indif-
ferent to human life; that they should
either have built the track of the troll
ley under or over the railroad track,
or else provided greater safeguards
against accident.
1t may be that the defendants in the
case did not really know how great
the danger at the crossing was, not
because it was not easy to see how
great it was, but because they had
not, in all probability, taken the trou-
BILE to inspect the crossing. Not more
than one or two of the directors lived
in Newark. Indeed, we are not sure
that any of them lived there. Mr..
Cassett lives in Philadelphia, and Mr..
~ llllllllllS IN 4NSW YIN OlllGIS lANCQ
in other sections of the country. Doubt
less they were elected directors for
the credit their names would give the
corporation.
The fact, however. that they were
not in the active management of the
trolley line ought not to relieve them
entirely of responsibility for the acct
dent. Having accepted places as direc-
tors they should have found out
the extent of their responsibilities
and then performed their duties faith
fully and conscientiously.
At no time, however. did there seem
to be an impression that the defend
ants would be convicted. They made
no efforts to secure a postponement of
the case. They were ready for trial
when the case was called. In fact,
they acted like men who felt sure that
the law was on their side. 1t turned
out that their confidence was not mis-
placed. The court assumed the re-
sponsibility of deciding they were not
guilty of the crime charged against
them.

Assistant Surgeon Trotter, at Ha-
vana. has cabled to Surgeon General
Wyman of the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice that the mysterious fever which
has appeared at Daiquiri, Cuba, and
at other places in the island is hemorr-
hagic malarial fever, and that the Gu
ban Board of Health has sent a COM
mission to investigate the disease. DR.
Trotter asserts that the disease is not
contagious and not quarantinable,
which accounts for the outbreak not
having been reported to the United
States authorities by cable. The dis
ease, he says, is contracted only by
the bite of the malarial mosquito, and
that it bears no resemblance to yellow
fever or the bubonic plague. 1t is diff
ficult to cope with. from a medical
point of view, on account of the ra-
pidity with which persons afflicted with
it reach a critical condition.

next international yacht race will not
fall through. There are no cleverer
constructors or smarter sailors than
the Japanese. There is an old story to

America was modelled on the lines of a
toy yacht made in Japan. and she
proved world-beater. Maybe the Japs
could model and make beat that

charge is that he hired two or three
toughs to waylay, assault and kill

had formerly been his coachman. The
grievance against Mcmahon is sup
posed TO be in the fact that the coach
man once got the better of him in a

The Fatal Germ and It's Remedy
Now Facts of Science,

1t is the rarest thing in the world for
man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the
hair off at the root; and cleans the
scalp of dandruff and leaves it in a per-
fectly healthy condition. Mr. Mannett,
in the Maryland Block, Butte, Mont,
was entirely bald. In less than a month
Herpicide had removed the enemies of
hair growth, and nature did its work
by covering his head with thick hair

Clean or Dirty Milk.

Some dairymen think if they do not
get a good price for their milk at the
creamery that the fault lies with the
creamery; but the patrons produce the
butter, the creamery only separates it.
Patrons should not forget that the~in-
terests of the creamery and their own
are the same. Dairy education has
benefited creamery operators more
than it has the patrons. The state
ment was recently made by one of our
best informed dairy and creamery men
that-"Milk does not come to the
creamery in so clean a condition to-
day as it did twenty years ago. Be
fore the day of the separator, milk was
not accepted unless it reached the
creamery in fairly good condition.
Now, If it is not sour enough to clog
the separator, it is received at the
weighcan of many creameries. When
every man made his own butter on the
farm and sold it himself he came into
closer touch with the trade and was
more particular about the clearly
methods of it's production. Since the
creamery has come in between the
milk producer and the butter market
there is a tendency to become more
careless in the production of milk
When milk is delivered in poor con-
dition at creamery or cheese factory,
no butter or cheese maker however
skilled can make the best product
from it. If all of the patrons but one
bring milk that is clean and in good
condition, the man bringing dirty milk
spoils the whole.-Prof. Wilbur ]

The plague of mosquitoes is being

The summer girl, whether at the
seashore or inland, is fighting on the

They stick these in their hair and
the aromatic fumes float on and up

mosquito from presenting his little
