Decorating Berlin Schools.

The committee OF the Berlin
town council in charge OF the pri-
mary schools have taken a novel
decision with regard TO school
decoration. The proposal is &c
spend 10000 marks every year for
eight years, with the object OF
painting frescoes on the walls OF
classrooms and corridors. These
pictures will be simple in charac-
ter and will represent for the most
part scenes in German history.
Before, however, the plan can be
carried out, experiments will be
made in three selected schools.

THE Gonzales Inquirer editor
was recently called upon by lev
el-headed farmer who, while in
conversation remarked that a law
should be enacted to COMPEL farm
ers to work against the boil weevil
not only as a matter of self-pro-
lection, but in order that labor to
that end done by a neighbor might
not be in vain. Said he: I've
poisoned the cotton several times,
and I've gone over the field, pick
ing up the squares and burning
them, while my neighbor has done
nothing, and as a consequence his
field IS a breeding ground for the
weevil that will later swarm over
my field. That's not right, and
the law should provide protection
against those who are 50 indiffer-
ent. Wharton Eagle.

THE CANAL AND MOSQUE
TOES.

The United States Government
is going about the work of open
ing the isthmian canal with such
deliberation as does not promise
very speedy results.
The supposition was that as soon
as the the way had been cleared by
the purchase of the canal company s
assets, the interchange of rati6ca-
tons by the two powers concerned
and other necessary preiiminaries
the work of digging the canal
would be pushed with all possible
dispatch.
An early intimation was that as
soon as everything was ready vast
army of skilled and unskilled
workers would be distributed along
the route entire, from each end and
from the middle, in order to have
the canal completed as rapidly as
possible, but the matter appears to
have dragged just when it was ex-
pected to be most active. 1t now
appears that the commissioners are
waiting until ample provision can
be made against the mosquito
nuisance. The pestiferous insect
is very numerous and very indus
trious in that section and is held
responsible for the fevers that
abound there. 1t is, perhaps, too,
a big fat job to undertake to de
stroy him all at once, but the effort
is to be made to eXterminate that
species which is said to be the con-
yeyer of nalarial and other poison.
The mosquito of the swamps IS
not a disease bearer. He IS a
nuisance and he has been known to
drive people from his habitation by
his wonderful energy III presenting
his dill on al! occasions, but he IS
not the fever mosquito. The little
fellow who is charged with re-
possibility for spreading malarial,
typhoid and yellow fever breeds
only in tolerably clear water, and
is a product of unscorened cisterns,
water barrels, etc. The commits
sioner in charge of the sanitary
department has arranged to have
all such places screened with cop
per wire, for which an enormous
quantity has just been forwarded
to the peninsula. When the screen
ing has been done and the mos
quito has been disposed of, the
work of digging the canal will be
pushed with vigor and the great
highway of commerce will be open

Physicians Use Carrier Pigeons.

Country physicians in many in
stances have adopted the use OF
pigeons as messengers. A physi-
clan raises loft OF carriers, and
when he, visits a patient four or
five miles away he carries with
him basket containing ore OF
his birds. If dangerous symp-
stom arise in the night or the
following day the pigeon is re
leased with a message. Some
physicians with long country
routes carry half a dozen or more
Of these pigeons on their rounds
and leave one at each place. 4
daily report of the different cases
can thus be obtained by pigeon
service This service has also
been extended on large western
farms. Some farmers receive
daily reports of the markets from
the city in this way when there
are no telephone o. telegraph
wires to send the messages. Ali
that IS required is trip to the
city once a fortnight TO carry
back the birds and some one in
the city to write the reports and
release the pigeons.
