Coromantee Proverbs.


Though he be last.
Though you may fail the catch each
Yet may you cast.
II YOU would trap the agile game.
Go softly, brother.
Look on a child and judge the same:
Don't ask its mother!
Beware when DER the wine he says.
II am your friend"
Give what you have and name no days
Sooner than lend.
The Evil One who seems most fair
Knows most wilcS.
Woe shall be his who works great good
Expecting smiles
None but the thing that knows no birth
Knows no strife:
None but the dead below the earth.
May laugh at Life.
Automobiles for Death Valley.
Prof. Gilbert E. Bailey of San Fran
cisco has decided to use an autOmO-
bile to search for gold in the Death
Valley region. which has proved fatal
to hundreds of prospectors because OF
the intense heat and the dificulty OF
carrying across it supplies o: food
and water. Prof. Bailey's automobile
is a strong runabout. to which he has
made a number of attachments for
carrying implements and supplies.
Everyone knows this region is rich in
minerals. but parties that have ven
turned into it, even in winter. are
forced to carry a large outfit to guard
against death by thirst. For three
urospectors eight horses are neces-
.sary, six being devoted to hauling
fOOdstuffs.

sio Aopetite Of Mice.

Apropos of the war which is being
wased against field mice in France,
some computations have been made
in that country in order that the
depredations of these little rodents
might be realized.
II has been calculated from expert
ments that each adult field mouse eats
from twothirds of An ounce to one
ounce of living plants a day. which
means a consumption of from sixteen
TO twenty.four pounds a year. Ac'
ccrding to the same calculations, II
We consider the loss by destruction at
only one-half OF the quantity con
sumed. we have a loss of frcSa twenty
four to thirty-six pounds a year for
each little field mouse.
According to the statement OF
French newspaper. regarding the ex'
periments made during the month OF
February last in the Department OF
the Charente, Mr. Chamberland of the
Pasteur institute estimated that the
average number of field mice to be

The Awful Waste Of War

The annual conference on interna-
tional arbitration which opened at
Lake Mohonk on Wednesday at :
tracted larger attendance than
ever before during the ten years in
which it has been agitatirg for the
abolition of war. Nearly 800 peo-
pie have taken part in its exercises,
presided over by Judge Gray. There
is not much encouragement for the
advocates of peace at the present
moment. but more incentives than
ever before. Every war indeed fur
nishes fresh incentive to those who
argue that war should cease.
From the standpoint of political
economy war is shocking waste of
treasure as well as of human life. A
statistician has computed that the
cost of the American Civil War
would have bought the freedom of
every slave, paid the peace expendi-
lures of half century, supplied
every man, woman and child in this
country with food for four years,
bought all the miles of our railro ads
with their rolling stock and all their
property, purchased 1900 miles OF
canal with all their boats, and all
vessels on ocean, river or lake flying
the American flag: bought, too, all
the thousands of miles of telegraph
and telephone lines and all the
nations n ines of gold, silver, iron
and copper. wells of petroleum and
ouarries of marble, and besides all
this have yielded a surplus sufficient
to buy every schoolhouse and church
now owned by the people.
Great Britain rich as she is, is
grooming under the burden of tax
alton resulting from her recent war
with the Beers. Japan and Russia
are pouring out money in their
pending struggle at the rate on
each side of more than a million dol
lars day.
But when nations are reused to
the war pitch it is useless to try to
check their choler by talking econ.
