NICHOLAS snuBs WILHELM.

From the New York Commercial.
 It is said that the czar is remarkable for a dignity which Is the more noticea- ble because he is small in size and his voice is gentle and womanly. The digni- ty is like the dignity of Queen Victoria, which impressed everyone who entered her presence. The dignity of the ozar was curiously exhibited on the occasion of his last meeting with the kaiser. The two monarchs had separated after meet ing with their respective fleets in the Baltic. The kaiser semaphored an effus- i've message to the czar from the upper bridge of his magnificent yacht, the Ho- henzolern. 1t was couched in the follow Ing terms: "The admiral of the Atlantic salutes the admiral of the Pacific" The czar was placed in a difficult position. If he accepted the implication the British foreign office might have something to say. If. on the other hand. the sig nal remained unanswered, discourtesy to the kaiser was the result It is said that the czar's reply was his own idea. He simply signalled Farewell" The iacon- ic rebuff to the German emperor went around the fleets of the world, and the Admiral of the Atlantic" will not for get the quiet snub administered to him one gray afternoon in the shallow waters of the Baltic sea.

A MILLIONAIRE TIN FIDDLER,

From the New York Commercial
 The recent death of Leonard Clark at Springfield Mass. recalls the days of half a century ago, when more than one New England fortune was accumulated in the tln-peddling business. MT. Clark. who was S2 years old and brother of Jonas G. Clark, the founder of Clark university at Worcester. was engaged in the tinware and stove business from the time he was a young man. With his brother Jonas, he operated from Holden, Mass, a tin, glass and hardware busi- ness that gave employment to forty salesmen on the road
 Jonas Clark went to California in 1854 and In ten years became a millionaire. Leonard Clark went to Springfield in 1859 and in a few years had sixty tin ped dler wagons on the road. Gradually the competitive instincts of the proprietors of the general stores In the small towns resulted in restriction of the tin-ped- dlers unique field, and one by one the big red wagons were withdrawn. Mir Clark continued. however, to conduct a prosperous business In Springfield, which honored him with term of fifteen years as county commissioner, the greater part of which time he was chairman of the board.

ELECTION AFTERMATH.

Ozark Southern Star: Many candidates were left in Mondays election. not be- cause they are not good men, but because they failed to get enough votes.
 Canebrake Herald: Now for baseball. The political campaign is over.
 Greenville Living Truth: Now let's get together for the presidential nominee, name good man and all unite to elect him.
 Edwardsville Standard News. The dem- oerats of Cleburne county have selected good' honest. conservative men for the various offices and 1t is the duty of all who participated in the primary to sup port the party's nominees in the general election There was no trickery and dem agoguery connected with the primary and this plan of nomination is certainly pre- ferable to the convention

BOOKS FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Steps in English in two volumes, edit ed by three of the best educators in the country leads the child along natural channels by good writing and good think ing until he acquires an useful knowl- edge of the mother tongue. These books are grammar books in pleasant form, with all the stiffness of the old text books eliminated.
 The American book company also pub fishes Carpenters geographical reader. covering Australia, our colonies and oth- CT islands of the sea. This volume is one of a series. six in number. and the pres ent volume is the last one of this sur vey of the world. MT. Carpenter is a fas- cinating writer, and his books are good reading in any hands.
 Still another book. published by the same company, is Eggeston's New Cen tury history of the United States. The story of our country is concisely and in terestingly told in this compact volume. It contains numerous illustrations. and Mir. Eggleston brings before the reader the home life of the people as well as their wars and political events.

 Macbeth.
Typhoid's New Enemy.

The agricultural department, en- gagged in finding some means of pre- venting diseases that attack water. cress, employed the "Bordeanx r.ix- ture," which Is a well known com- pound consisting of copper sulphate, lime and water It is a solution cften applied by nurserymen and ho:Hcul- turists as a spray for fruit trees. The agricultural department now insists that it will render water pure, 1estrcy- ing alike the slime upon which fever germs feed, and therefore destroying the deadly germs themselves.
 It will scarcely do to say, however that typhoid fever will be driven out by this discovery. Much experimenta- ton is needed. A chemical solution in the water may not leave it potable. The announcement of the agricultural department is at the most tentative. It may have made a valuable diseoy- cry, but the efficiency of it's discovery remains to be tested.
 If the Bordeaux mixture" will de- stroy the growths upon which the mos quito feeds, the result will be highly beneficial, but at present the better policy seems to consist in the des rue ton of the germ-bearing insect The malarial or fever germ may be bred in foul water, but so long as we keep the mosquito as a go-between just so long will we be afflicted with fever or ma laria.
 Perhaps the plan that will be adopt ed in the long run will consist of a double battle-the one against foul water and the other against the mos- quito. If the latter springs from the former, well and good. The purifica- tion of the water will in that case be sufficient, but in the present stage of germ investigation it is best to fight both foul water and mosquitoes. They are no doubt related to each other, but both should be warred against.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

, ing about 1t, but when an outsider dares second his remarks trouble ensues.
 While the world is waiting for the problem of aerial navigation to be solved life has been made happier by discov- cry second to none in importance that has graced this glorious century. In saner terms, a mana fiat dweller-claims that he has discovered a secret process for depriving onions of their odor. It is not stated whether this applies to the onions after they have been eaten, but if so the invention should be decorated. It Is a question just what we will have next. Seedless apples are a reality, jagless whisky is proposed smokeiess powder has been in use for years, and now we have odoriess onions. About all we need to make life one long period of unalloyed bliss is an automobile that will not explode and a gambling system" that always wins.
 The smart set of Baltimore has made an innovation that is startling in It's concep- tion and unlimited in its scope. The smart-setters of this now fre-famous town have hit upon the Idea of substi- tuting RussoJapanese war lectures for whist and all those other accepted amuse- ments for killing time at function" The possibilities of the war lecture are so great that the society folk of Balu- more could find amusement there until the struggle is ended. There Is some thing highly exciting and diverting about studying map of Korea or pronouncing the names of Russian naval officers. For tunately those not in the ''set" will not be forced to support the new fad.
 President Roosevelt has made a master stroke in his race for second term in the White House by winning the favor of every baseball fan in Washington. The brilliant idea was suggested by Col. symons, superintendent of public build ings and grounds, and was immediately acted upon by the executive The ellipse, south of the White House and known as the white lot" has been thrown open to the public for the use of all reputable ball teams and some rare sport is prom ised for the summer months. The white lot" was formerly used for baseball pur- poses and was once the popular ball park of Washington. It was there that sev- eral of the old national heroes made their regulations on the diamond. The grounds will be laid off for three diamonds and grandstands will be erected for the pub lie. The President recognized tk- need of more room for baseball and has &C., codingly made himself very solid with devotees of the sport. although it is not believed that he ever pitched for any team.
 According to a ruling made by the Sink ing Fund Commission of New York auto mobiles are now classified as animals. Although they have some characteristics of a certain animal known as the mule 1t Is rather startling to regard tho Killer as in the same class with the peaceful kie. However, frog legs are poultry and any classification is accept ed these days, however ludicrous 1t may be. F. c.

JUDGMENT IN RAlLRoAplNe

From the New York Commercial
 You can labor from now till you are hundred trying to equip railroads with devices to securefsafety, and yet you will have disasters unless you realize the great fundamental requirement. of judgment, said P. H. Houlahan, superintendent of the Burlington lines in Missouri, the oth- CT day.
 No invention, however efficient, VIII take the place of a man with a cool head, who can reason readily and accurately In times when lives are hanging on sec onds. Block signals may fail to work, a telegraphic order may have a doubtful meaning, a switch lamp may be turned wrong or a hundred other things may happen to furnish an excuse for a man to say It wasn't my fault But, going down to the bottom of railroading you want to impress upon men who have 70 do with the running of trains that in their judgment is the real reiance-their knowledge of what to do when the emer- gency arises.
 T am not one of those who believe that men should be retired from active oSi FiNt Wicii tIcy nave iclt Aoi " VI forty-flve behind It requires from thr- ty-five to forty years to ripen some in- tellects to perfect judgment. The man of forty has generally been tried by fire, and thereafter he avoids the flame. Like the general on the battlefield he knows what's best to do. A young eng!- neer may take chances on charp curve or over yard full of switches. The vet eran will begin cutting off his steam at the proper moment and reduce his speed, making up the time on the next fair stretch.
 Brain Is a matter of development in railroading as In everything else. You can't find any mechanical substitute though you line the track from beginning to end with automatic devices. I'm friend to every possible appliance for safety, but I'm a greater believer in system that relies upon human agencies as the chief safeguard. God made man and man made the inventions. The Mas ters work is the better
 More than one hundred trains a day pass over the Hannibal and St Joseph division of the Burlington. There has not teen a serious passenger wreck on that division in twenty years. though 1t Is single track line between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers

In the Dentists Chair.

You never hear a boy say he wants to be a dentist when he becomes man remarked a tooth doctor yesterday. T have been practieing dentistry a number of years, and have often noted this fact.
 "A small boy invariably has his ideals which he believes he will strive for when mans estate is reached. It is interest ing, too, to hear the small boy express himself along the line of the occupa- ton he will choose. Youthful ambitions are quite varied. Many want to be law yers. bankers, merchants, policemen, and two children I remember in particular, brother and sister, who chose as their vocation, much to the horror and dis comfiture of their mother, the boy tho prize ring and the little girl to be a ballet girl so she could wea- short skirts and dance on the stage.
 "A child's early experience in the den- lists chair makes an impression remen- bered, only with nightmare like dread, and this suppose deadens any ambitions budding in the youthful mind towards dentistry, until more mature years shakes off the horrors of first impress sions.
 T know of no profession for which scientific and careful study has accom- plished more than dentistry. The day of the lancet and the dreaded forceps as cure all has passed Still think science will have to reveal many more wonders before the average person can be con- vineed that an hour in the dentists chair will ever be one of pleasure"

Soft Coal Here and Elsewhere.

The coal production of the world is just about nine hundred and fifty mil lion tons year, but the United States Great Britain and Germany produce about 75 per cent of this great amount the United States leading Great Britain about as much as the latter does Germany.
 The Japanese production is just about equal to the Alabama production Coal is pretty we distributed through out the world, except in South Amer ica. Every other continent is well supplied with coal deposits, but those in Africa and China are but partially developed. Inere is little or no coal in South America, and not much in either Mexico or Central America.
 The deposits of coal in this coun- try are simply immense They are prac- tically inexhaustible Coal is mined in twenty-eight states and territories. The leading coal states are in order, Pennsylvania, Illinois, West Virginia, Ohio, Alabama and Indiana. Those states produce over ten million tons each, and no others are up to that line.
 The race between Alabama and In diana Is pretty one, the one holding fifth, and the other sixth place. Down to 1890 Indiana mined more coal than Alabama, but in 1900 Alabama's output exceeded Indiana's. The coal of h. diana cannot be turned into coke, but at present Indiana is slowly gaining on Alabama. We give, the tonnage of the last three years:
 Tons 1901 Tons 1902 Tons 1903 Alabama ..... S970617 10,327713 H. 700, 753 Indiana ...... 6,91s,225 s.76S, 1O7 1O,515oOo
 The race is snug one, but if we can hold the lead until the Warrior is opened and the Panama canal dug, h. diana will stay in sixth place, and Ala bama will stay in fifth place. Ohio is next above us, and she mined last year over twenty-six million tons. Great as Alabama's production is 1t is only aDout 31a per cent of the country s product. The coal output of the 
 of the world. It exceeded last year three hundred and flfty-four million tons, or very nearly one hundred mil lion tons more than Great Britain pro- duced des. ite her immense exports. Our coal production is almost wholly consumed at home.

gressmen are especially interested in the paper-malting experiments, for it is important in that state to gather the stalks, and if they can be turned into paper the gathering will become a source of income instead of burden.
 The transforming of the stalks into paper will leave nothing of the plant to be utilized except the top root, and even that may be boiled and turned into food for cattle. But if the top root must go unused the rest of the plant will bring in fine profits even when the boil weevil assails it. Lint, seed and stalk will contribute to the net result, which will certainly be satisfactory if the paper-making experiments arc fully confirmed.
