H.W. ST|NESS
REPLIES TO
FARNELL

There Is more talk in connection with
the work OF the state returning board In
counting the votes of the first congress
sionsl district. and this time Henry w.
stiness. who represented his father. the
former chief justice. at that count has
answered the statement made by George
Farnell to Gov. Garvin In relation to de-
fective ballots. In part he says:
THE report is that Of George Farnell
10 Gov. Garvin. and even before reading
II there appeared a question Of interest
in why n representative Of the Prohibition
candidate should be making n report TO
a Democratic governor, and that too,
concerning a candidate who Is not Pro
hlbitionist.'
However. 10 those who watched the
recount Of the votes OF the first congres-
sionai district the answer is somewhat
apparent. During the recount Mr.. Far
nell objected 10 more than 500 Republi-
can ballots and questioned not dozen
Democratic ones.
Voters are men and men act natu-
rally says Mr.. Fsnell In his report.
So undoubtedly he acted naturally In
following his sympathies and questioning
only Republican ballots (though he did
represent the Prohibitionist candidate) (;
but II certainly should alter public opin =
ion of the report when facts are known.
THE ONLY OFFICIAL COUNT.
In the report itself MIR Fanell says
voters are not likely TO place distinguish
ing marks on the middle page Of six
or seven part ballot. He seems TO forget
that these ballots are all torn apart be
fore they are counted. and only I'm such
way would such marks ne apparent on the
examination of the ballots Certainly they
were not there when the ballots were
handed 10 the voters Why. then, II not

there? They cannot add an iota TO the

Roberl Sanders, mill-hahd, residing
at 1G Church Street, says: "My son used
Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney and
bladder trouble from which he has suf-
fered almost all his life. He cannot
stand any work which causes strain on

kidneys are strong and dark, and there

ITO BE Continued
The Whole Hog.

Whence comes the expression "to go
the whole hog" which occupies so
prominent position in fiscal politics2
asks the Liverpool Post. In one author
1tative work on such matters 1t is stat
ed that the phrase probably arose from
the Arabian story versified in Cow
per's Love of the World Reproved."
Mohammcd allowed his followers to
eat pork. except one portion OF the ami
NAL, which he did not specify, and con-
sequently strict Mohammedans were
debarred from eating any. Others, how
ever, Thought it hard from the whole
hog to be debarred," and so with
sophistry their sauce they sweeten, till
quite from tail to snout It's eaten" In
an American book on political squibs,
published in 1874, the author says, ITO
go the whole hog is an America n Eng
lish phrase for radical reform and Ia
much used here by the Democratic par
ty to distinguish them from the Fed
eralists, who don't profess such sweep
Ing notions and consequently go only
part Of the interesting quadruped in
question"

Arborenl Homes For Consumptives.
Professor 0. ID. Steinberger of
Springfield, O., who for years has been
fighting consumption by living in
treetop, believing that air fifty feet
from the ground is purer than on the
level, has taken to constructing other
similar abodes for invalids He Is now
experimenting the building of one for
George Quick, who is in poor health
and seventy-two years old. This house
IS to be sixty feet from the ground, in
the branches Of n lofty oak. An eleva-
tor is being provided to transport the
aged invalid to and from his house, in
which he will remain during the days,
and in good weather, during the sum-
mer, he will sleep in it at night. Pro-
fessor Steinberger has built several
houses, but this is to be the highest yet
constructed.
More men sfwould be wealthy If their
wives plans to save money material
lied.

JAPANESE LOVE OF BATHS.

Everybody In the Land of the Chrys.
anthemum Likes to he Clean.
From time immelnorial the bathtub
has been an honorable Institution In
Japan, says Modern Society. Instead
Of cold dip In the morning the Japs
take their baths hot in the afternoon
at about 8 o'clock, and, beginning at
100 degrees, the tendency is to raise
the temperature as one becomes accli-
mated, 30 to speak. One traveller tells
Of the Kawarayu bathers, who stay In
the tub for several weeks at time
with stones In their laps to keep their
bodies from floating while they are
asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub on
the lawn with charcoal fire beneath
1t, so that one can get into the water
at 30 degrees md sit in it until it
reaches 100 degrees. At this point q
"gtifih," which is to say newchum,
greenhorn or tenderfoot, usually
has to get out, for it becomes literally
too hot for him. But after a year or
two of practice he CAP manage 115 or
12O degrees. The Japs themselves can
enjoy bath even at 1913 degrees.
A traveller tells IN amusing tale Of
how he visited Japanese friend on an
at home day and accepted the offer of
a bath on the lawn. He got in when
the water was tepid and enjoyed it i'm
mensely up to ninety something. Just
rs he was thinking of getting out his
friends wife and daughter put in IN
appearance and begin to wash rice at
a well near by. Now. the regulation
bathing dress of Japan is like n foot
less stocking without leg or a bung.
hole without barrel round it, and our
traveller hadn't it with him at, the time.
He endured another five degrees, and
then, with death by boiling stirring
him in the face, he was forced out
with an involuntary yell that attracted
much attention.
The fact is that in Japan everybody
bathes in puris naturalibus. 1t is their
way, and it is not till European has
lived among them for years that he or
she realizes that after aIl there is moth.
ing very terrible about it.

SUBMARINE BOAT TEST
How the Fulton's Crew Lived
Under Water Twelve Hours.
NO INCONVENIENCE EXPERIENCED

Members OF tho Crew Ate and slept
In Perfect Comfort-No III Eneots
From Lack OF Air-Tho Mems Only
Deprivation Was Their Inability to
Smoke Tobacco While Submerged.
After having been submerged more
than twelve hours of Newport, in
which time the officers and crew ate
their meals, cooked on an electric stove
more than twenty feet beneath the wa
ter, the submarine torpedo boat Full
ton came to the surface shortly before
noon the other day. says the New
York World.
The officers and men, to the number
Of nine, experienced no Inconvenience
while beneath the water in the torpedo
boat. They were divided into watches
Of two hours each and spent their time
when not on duty in playing cards and
sleeping. Being unable to smoke wor-
ried some Of the officers and men worse
than anything else. The board Of in
spection Of the navy department which
was in charge Of the tests to which the
Fulton was subjected would not per-
NIT any matches or fire to be taken
aboard the boat.
Several boxes Of cigars were taken
aboard before the entrance hatch was
finally closed, and the men were per-
mitted to have dry smokes"-that is,
to chew cigars.
The naval officers In charge Of the
test say that 1t wns one Of the most
severe and at the same time the most
satisfactory that submarine boat has
ever undergone.
Fresh air was forced into the COM
partment occupied by the crew once
every four hours, in conformity with
the instructions Of the inspection board.
At no time did the crew feel any i'll
effects from lack Of air or too much
air.
1t was not until after 8 o'clock at
night that the preparations for the
'habitation test" which provided the
boat should remain submerged con-
tnuously for twelve hours, were be-
gun. At 1920 o'clock the boat began
to submerge and just thirteen minutes
later was entirely out Of sight.
Members OF the crew say their stay
under water was most pleasant, and
that they slept as comfortably as they
would in their own beds. They could
plainly hear the noise made by pass
ing steamboats, and all were up early
the next morning
The chef prepared q breakfast Of
ham and eggs, with hot coffee, bis
cults and cereal on the electric stove,
In the submerged boat did not affect
the appetite of anybody.
Preparations for raising the sub
merged boat were begun at IL o'clock
In the morning by the crew aboard,
and five minutes later the Fulton was
