JAPANESE EXTRAS"
"Fake'' Editions of Toxic Newspa-
pers Are Constantly on Streets.

Japanese newspapers are very
fond Of issuing extras on the slight
est provocation. These extras, says
the Chicago Daily News, consist for
the most part Of small sheets of pa
per about the size of ordinary letter
paper, with a few sentences printed
on them. They are hawked about
by boys and men who run rapidly
through the streets in cloth ''tabi"
or socks. These tabi make no noise,
but the newsboy manages very eff
fectively to make his presence
known by shouting at the top of his
voice, and, as if that were not
enough, by ringing a large bell. As
a rule, the "extras" are eagerly
bought up, but by far the greater
number Of them are frauds. They
generally contain the widest fakes
about domestic and more especially
foreign politics, but sometimes the
invention Of their compilers flags
and they make no attempt what
ever to conceal their dishonesty. For
instance, an extra that was issued
during the recent political crisis
here ran somewhat as follows: 'It
is supposed that several small banks
may fail in the future" People
now insist on knowing the name Of
the paper accountable for the extra
before buying. If the paper is a re-
spectacle one it is always safe to
buy.

VEETILATING A t
Anaconda, Mont, Looking fOF a Way
to Secure Pure Air.

The citizens Of Anaconda, one Of
HE copper cities of Montana, are
prely afflicted with the sitting va
Pers that have assembled from the
S"nevs of the smelters. Loaded
Sfth the spnes of the arsenic, anti
uOny, zinc and sulpnuyie acid, these
FGpors have been anything buJ
lgreeable OF healthful. Expert
ments looking to their elimination
have been carried on for the past
lkree months, and it has finally been
discovered that by cooling the gases
Of the volatilized compounds they
will eondense, and by building hues
sufficiently large so that the velocity
Of the gases will be very low, the
condensed particles will settle at the
bottom Of the iue, allowing only
bne permanent gases to escape.
These are not injurious, either to
vegetable or animal life, hence it is
thought that the "smoke nuisance"
Of the copper city can be abated.
A lue go feet in width and 20
feet deep will be constructed at
Dace in connection with the new
smelter of the Anaconda company,
which will pass its gases into a mon
ster stack 30 feet in diameter and
800 feet high, delivering the perma-
Hent gases and products Of the COM
bustion at an elevation so high
shove the valley that no trace of
their fumes will load the air Of the
town or-the valley below. The ex-
Pense will be enormous, but if there
is a business that can stand it, it is
Che copper business. The effort Of
he company to abate this disagree
hble feature of its industry, says the
Portland 0regonian, cannot be
charged wholly to its regard for
suffering humanity, since it was un-
dertaken to quiet clamor raised
Egainst the location of its new re-
duction works. However, no one is
Inclined to look the gift horse in
Me mouth, and the people will ac-
eept the relief promised without
questioning the motive that prompt
ID it.

cERDIAN AMBULANcE man.
It Is an Admirably EI-T9ed Es~sia
Hospital on Wheels.

Although it is impossible alto
gether to prevent railway accidents
it seems at least that something can
be done to relieve the suiTerings Of
hose who have been injured. Both
IN America and in Germany ambu-
lance trains are now in. use, which
ire kept ever ready to be sent out
for the purpose % aifording speedy
relief to the manned. The train,
so far as its narrow limits permit,
says the Medical Record, is as ad-
mirably equipped as any modern
hospital; its operating room is fitted
up with an operating table, with all
the necessary appliances of anti
septic surgery. The ward of this
hospital on wheels has eight remoy-
able beds, which can be used as
litters if need me. Reclining chairs
complete the furniture Of the ward.
Every German railroad has a certain
number Of these ambulance trains,
the road being divided into sections
and a train assigned to each. Trains
are always sidetracked at a station,
ready to be sent out. AS soon as
news of an accident IS received the
water tanks are filled, and the rail
road surgeons-who live in the Vi
entity of the stations-are called by
telephone. Even the fast limited
trains must give way to the surgeons
and are sidetDacked in order that
the ambulance may speed to the
scene Of the accident. The admira-
bic system which has been devised
renders it possible for the surgeons
to reach the injured within half an
hour after they have been informed.

PIE FOR BREAKFAST.
Hotel in Maine That Is Quite Liberal
in This Respect.

AhAo
None Of the Portland (Me.) ho-
tas supplies pie for breakfast UNI
less a special order is given, says the
Portland Advertiser, and even then
/ think there might be a strike in
the kitchen before the goods were
delivered. The only hotel in the
EtAte hat | know of that is run on
this truly liberal plan is the Rob-
insOn house, in the town of Bucks
port, the home Of the speaker Of the
present Maine house, though the
Hotel Brunswick, In Bangor, used
to do so until called to account by
Sheriff Gilman, of Penobscot coun-
ty, whose stronghold is baked beans,
and who grew jealous Of the popu-
larity Of the palm room Of this ia
nous establishment. Once when l
went into the Robinson house for
dinner, in the course Of a drive to
follow up a party of politicians then
touring the eastern counties, Clara,
the table girl, said: eyes, sir, we
have breakfast ready, including pie,
steak, custard pie, potatoes, apple
pie, coffee squash pie, fritters, pun
kin pie, graham rolls, lemon pie
and new milk"
"Lsn't that a good deal of pie for

Called to Order.

A southern member of congress
who lives in a Washington hotel has
for his personal attendant an old col
ored man to whom he is much at
tached. The negro, by virtue oflong
servitude, has come to assume consid-
cradle authority over his employer.
The congressman was visited by some
friends the other evening and the
host offered them a drink of whisky,
saying he was about to take one him
self, hoping to break up a cold. The
party took three or four drinks and
the jug was about to be passed again,
when the negro servant made things
very embarrassing to the host by say
ing: "'Deed, sab, you said you was
a-takin' this yer whisky to break up a
cold. Pears like they was tryin' to
break up a hull winter"

Author Entrapped Publisher Where He
Had to Listen to Manuscript.

Had to Listen to Manuscript.
OF a well-known and somewhat
BOcentric French writer the follow
ng amusing story is told:
Meeting one day in the street a
publisher with whom he was on
friendly terms, the author proposed
that they should take a bath to-
gether.
Accustomed to the eccentricities
Of his friend, the publisher smil-
ingly consented and the pair made
tkeir way TO a bathing establish
ment where two hot baths were pre-
pared for them.
The publisher had only just be-
gun TO settle himself down to the
njoyment of his bath when the
uthor appeared at the door with a
mlky manuscript.
"Now, my dear friend" said he,
'since you cannot run away, / will
read you my five-act tragedy"
The reply of the publisher is not
recorded, but it was probably more
foroible than elegant.-Casselrs

A@sla wizards Said to Have Won

EH--4 - @NNNEy
Some African wizards profess to be
able to turn themselves into lions, or
other animals, and so travel vast dis
tances and find out the plans Of their
enemies. About five years ago. relates
the Detroit Free Press, DR.. R. w. Fell
kin accompanied Emin Pasha on a
tour through Uganda and the terri
tory behind it. The doctor then
Travelled northwards towards the Sou
dan. Al iaSt ne 70 Lado, about a
thousand miles south oil KhGrtnWc.
One morning after his arrival a To-
cal wizard told him that during the
previous night he had been at Mes
chera Ell Rex, on the Nile, $50 miles
away, and that two steamers had just
arrived there.
The doctor, who had been away
from civilization SC long that he knew
nothing of the retaking of the Sou
dan, laughed at the news. But the
"m'logo," or wizard, insisted it was
true, described the people on the
boats, and spoke Of one Englishman,
short, and with a big beard, who had
letters for DR.. Felkin. He said he
was coming to Lado, and would be
there in about 80 days.
Thirty-two days later Lupton Bey
arrived with letters. As for the wiz
ard, the doctor believes that he never
was more than a few miles from his
native village in his life. 1t seems
certain that he, and Others of his kind,
must have a far greater command
over the mysteries of telepathy than
any Europeans.
The celebrated African traveller,
Capt. Wellby, had an utterly unex-
plainable experience when a fort
nights journey south of Ads Adee-
ba, in Abyssinia. Aman rushed into
camp shouting "Walamo! Walamol'
He fell down in a fit and was a raving
lunatic for many hours.
His men told the explorer that they
were in the country of the Walamo,
or "devil-possessed" people. These,
they declared, were able to drive a
man mad, and it was dangerous to eat
in their presence. One Of Capt. Well
by's men did SO, and he, too, went
mad.
Resolving to put an end to this SUI
peNtition, the captain himself ate a
meal before about 100 of the Wala-
mo. He thought no more of it until
next morning, when he found himself
miserably i'll, although up to that date
he had not been unwell a single day
during his journey.
Inc papalol, or obeah-man, exer-
cises the most absolute dominion over
the negroes in our West Indian is
lands, especially Jamaica.
Quite recently the old and trusted
servant of British official in Jamaica
became temporarily insane. He be-
came dumb, and was evidently unable
to understand what was said to him.
His wife declared that he must have
unwittingly offended the "obeah-
man."
His master said that was all
nonsense, and put the man under the
care of a frst-rate European doctor.
After three weeks, during which
the unfortunate man got steadily
worse, the doctor gave him up as in
durable. His wife t%hereupon took him
up the mountain to the obeah-man's
house. The latter examined him,
and then mixed some leaves into a
thick green paste and made him eat
them.
, Three days later he was quite well
again.

Guarantees All 1t Sells.
United States Consul Britain at
Kehl, Germany, has advised the Sec
rotary of state Of a unique method
Of ~insuring the freshness of eggs
adopted by the Dairymen's associa-
ton of the city Of Kehl. 'The
agents Of that association" he says,
Ego among the farmers each day
and purchase eggs, the farmer guar
anteeing that these have been laid
within the previous "a hours. in
consequence Of this guaranty the
association pays the farmer three
pfennigs, or about half a cent, above
the regular market price, for each
egg. The Dairymen's association
then makes a record Of each pur-
chase by giving the farmer a regis
tered number and numbering each
egg IN corresponding manner. When
q consumer chances to find a stale
egg he returns it to the dealer, who
in turn charges it to the association,
which reports the matter to the far
mer. The method is a protection to
all parties concerned, and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs
are delivered in cases containing
Eve dozen each"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
Now the bookbinders in the govern
ment printing Office have found a
charge against Assistant Foreman Mil
ler which should bring about his re-
moval in short order. He is said to
have spoken unfaVorably of President
Roosevelt. The miserable caitiff!"
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem. }
says: '"The tariff and the many evils
growing out of it can be made a win
ming issue. both because it's inherently
wrong and because there is nothing
sectional in it. 1t is true that the
South has heretofore been the strong
est opponent of protection, but that
opposition is becoming both prominent
and persistent in the East and the
West. and we believe that opposition
can be so concentrated and handled
that it will put the Republican party
down and out. 1t is certainly worth
trying"
The birmingham Age-Herald Dem
says: Among other excuses for de-
lay (of tariff reform) we will be told
that the Panama canal is to be built,
and that it would be better to build it
fro msurplus revenues than from bonds.
AS a matter Of fact it would be better
for the tariff benehciaries, but not for
the consumers, who are compelled by
Dingleyism to hand over to private
pockets ten dollars for every one that
goes into the treasury. The day will come
when such robbery will be ended. but
II will never come while the Republic
can party is left in power"
