Understood for Some Time He Would
 be Postmaster General.
 Washington, Oct. 4.-In succession to MT. Payne. George Bruce Cortelyou. former Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and now chair man Iof the Republican National Com mittee, will become Postmaster Gen eral
 Mir. Cortelyou's appointment as head of the Postoffice Department was de- termined on several months ago by indicated to the President his desire to retire from the department on account of the precarious state of his health. Mir Payne would have resigned the portfolio long ago had it not been for the pending investigation of the affairs of the department. He felt, however, and said many times to his friends, that he could not relinquish the duties of the office while the investigation was pending and expressed his determina- tion to carry the investigation to a conclusion.
 The intense mental and physical strain incident to the direction of the postal inquiry very seriously under mined his strength He was warned again and again by his physicians and friends that he was subjecting himself to too great a burden, but he refused to heed their counsel. Having con- cluded the pressing work of the depart ment and carried the inquiry to a point where 1t passed from the hands of the department officials to the courts, 1t was his intention in a few months at most, to yield to the admonitions of his friends and relinquish finally the cares and responsibilities of ohicial life Whether. if he had lived, he would have remained at the haed of the Postonice Department of the present administra- ton had not been determiend definitely, 1t Is understood the probabilities that he would have resigned to take effect about the first of January next.
 Mir. Payne possessed ample wealth He hoped that on leaving the depart ment he could so arrange his business affairs as to be able to devote the re- mainder of his hitherto very active life to rest and recreation. He had promis- ed his family and friends never again to undertake any work which might imperil his health, which, for many years had not been good.
 It Is the understanding now that Mir. Cortelyou will assume the duties of Postmaster General as soon as he con- veniently can after the close of the pending campaign. It is probable that he will enter the oflce about the first of December. although no date for the assumption of his new responsibilities has been determined upon even tenta- lively. since after the election 1t will take him some time to wind up the | affairs of the campaign and he also may | desire to take at least a brief rest.

Crocodile Taminn.

Paris has been much thrilled by the
advent of the crocodile tanner, M Yer.
nelet. The tanning of reptiles is one
of the most ancient of arts, and
doubtless Cleopatra herself, "the Ser
pent of the Nile," watched crocodiles
and lizards succumbing to the spells
of Egyptian seers. The remarkable
looking man who has provided the
Partisan with a new sensation early
discovered his power over the brute
creation, and he chose reptiles as his
special pets because the field was
still comparatively open. The famous
lion tanners and tiger charmers of the
world have generally been French.
but snake charmers come from India
and the East. One difficulty found
by all animal specialists is that OF
keeping their valuable dumb friends
in health, but fortunately for M. Yer
nelet, crocodiles are tough creatures
and are not rsensitiye-indeed
they seem to bear complacently the
gaze of an admiring public.-London

Where the Chinese Are.

According to Export, a German geo.
graphical paper, there are 1912 $50
Chinese living out of China-as many
as the total population Of Sweden and
Norway.
America has comparatively few of
tham-only 272,S29, few less than
the little British island of Hongkong
alone boasts. Formoso has 100000,
but that used to be Chinese, and they
simply haven't moved. Siam is the
greatest goal of actual emigration,
having 100000 Chinese, who have
absorbed pretty much all the active
trade of the country.
In the Malay Peninsular. also 1885,
900 Chinese have nearly monopolized
trade under British rule. The Sunda
Isles have 100000. The Philippines,
where the Chinese are already a
problem, have only $4,000 of them.

Citv Residents Near-Siqhted.

"The race is growing near-Sighted,

of our civilization" said Frederick P.
Simmons, examining eye specialist,
while addressing the members of the
New England Association of Optic

Our visual range is confined to
near objects for the greater part of
the day." said he, "and this. keeps the
eyes turned in. An object twenty feet
away will make the eyeballs parallel.
Anything less viii turn them in,
and people who spend hours in Offices
and crowded flats necessarily have
a short range of vision, which over
works and weakens the interior mus
cles close to the nasal cavity.

strained, are strong, and hence cause
the eyes to turn out. Let a person
who is thus affected spent a week or

Effect of Irrigation in the East.

Of the fourteen great irrigation pro-
iects, for which the secretary Of the
interior recently set apart $27,OO0,0OO
of the reclamation fund, seven will,
according to the estimates of the en-
gineers in charge of the work, reclaim
100000 acres of land, at total cost
Of $12,55O,OOO, an average Of $11.37 per
acre. When the immense increase in
the value of the land effected by irri-
CATION is considered, the cost is by no
means great, much similar land selling
at $40 and upwards per acre.
Agriculturists in the East are al
ready beginning to wonder what will
be the effect on the farming industry
OF that section of the reclamation OF
the vast acreage which it is expected
to render fertile by irrigation. They
say that the opening up of the West,
the cultivation of the great wheat
fields of the Northwest and the large
area in the corn belt has already
driven the Eastern farmer to inten-
sive farming.
The opening up Of the vast irrigated
areas must result in the adoption Of
Intensive methods in the West, and
they are anxiously waiting to see to
what the Eastern farmer will be driven
when that change takes place. Those
Interested In irrigation, however, main
tain that the reclamation Of the arid
sections will no more than keep pace
with the increased population, and
consequent demand of the country, and
that Eastern farmers will "never know
the difference"

push Cart Trust Formed.

City officials have discovered the eX-
istence Of one Of the most interesting
of trusts-a combination among hold
ers of push cart licenses over on the
east side Of Manhattan, which con-
trolls, it is believed, almost exclusively
the push cart trade and is extortlng
unreasonable rates from peddlers for
the use of it's carts. One of the heads
of departments under Mayor McClel-
Ian has been investigating the process
by which the combination manages TO
control the push cart trade and the
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of the mayor. The investigation
Is being continued and before long
some interesting disclosures In con-
nection with the operations of the push
cart trust are expected.
According to the city official who
has had the matter under investigation
there appears to be a padrone system
on the East Side which has managed
somehow to obtain licenses for push
carts at So and 81 year. Instead OF
using the push carts themselves those
behind the system let them out to
peddlers at the rate of 10 cents day.
On this basis one push cart alone
would bring in a profit of over $50
year, and as the number Of carts con-
trolled by the syndicate is large 1T can
readily be seen that the push cart
trust derives handsome profit from
it's scheme.
The city authorities are somewhat
aroused over the condition of affairs
which has been unearthed and threat
en- to make it warm for the promoters
Of the syndicate if they obtain evil
dence against them, as it is claimed
that not only are they charging ex-
tortionate rates for the use of the push
carts which they own, but that they
are mulcting the city by depriv1ng 1t
of revenue which If there were no
combination would readily fall to It

Trolley Car Ethics.

It has been decided that the END
seat" man who does not move along
when new passenger boards the car
is "hog." Another point retains
to be determined. In rainy weather
each seat of the open car has one
dry sitting-in the middle. Should the
passenger who arrives first and pre-
empts that dry sitting move along into
the wet when the seat fills? Is the
first arrival who refuses to move
along a "middle-seat hog or is he
exercising an ethical right to sit in
dry spot-a right founded upon pri-
GRITTY and defensible under the rules
of reason and equity? Having pre-
empted the dry seat, or having dried
and warmed a seat, should the pas
senger slide into the damp when new
passengers push in? The question is
a fine subject for debate. It's i'm
portance is not slight. Soon or late
the emergency confronts everybody,
and a rule of conduct in such case
should be established.-Elmira Ga

Paris Green ON Potatoes.

Most potato growers use paris green
too strong when spraying potato plants
to subdue the beetle. Experiments
have shown that one-half pound of the
paris green to each barrel Of water is
sufficient and will be strong enough
for the season through If the spray
ing is started early enough to destroy
the beetles while they are small and
comparatively tender. If the paris
green is combined with Bordeaux mix
ture for spraying double the quantity
may be used. There can be no injury
to the vines if the proportions applied
arr, as indicated.
