According 10 reports from branch Offices OF r. c.
Dun & Co. throughout the United States. COM
n,erciaI Insovencies during the month OF February
were coz in number and SI5 SD 553 in amount of
liabilities compared with 1000 failures in the cor

were 223 in number and g S69S5 in amount against

ures numbered 7Sf with liabilities of $3.50 sol COM
pared with 73i failures and $i5S270 defaulted in
debtcduess I'm the month Of 1898. Although
other commercial failures fewer in number
is comparing with 66 practically all the increased
liabilities in this division $685. s17 compar-
ing with only g. $500 in February 1905 and sim
less in the preceding years. The phenomenaIIv
high average OF Sl5.56l in this class was due TO
several suspensions OF Baltimore FIRE insura nee

A Tricky Skipper.

Talking about rats" said a steve
dore on a Sixth street pier, reminds
me of pretty slick trick l witnessed
the other day on the part of Down
East skipper who wished to rid the,
ship of a number of troublesome ro-
dents. His vessel was moored near
to an English freighter and he noticed
that she was taking in quantity of
cheese. So one evening he found an
excuse for hauling out to her and TAX
ing his own packet alongside. The
next step was to procure a plank,
smear it well with an adoriferous
preparation of red behring's and place
it through an open port on board the
Englshman. The result was that dur
ing the night there was a wholesale
immigration Of rats from the Ameri-
can ships hold to the cheese-laden
vessel alongside. New York Press.

Snakes Ewes.

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes, inasmuch as their eyes
never close. They are without lids,
and each is covered with transpar-
ent scale, much resembling glass.
When the reptile casts it's outer skin.
the eye scales come off with the rest
of the transparent envelope out of
which the snake slips. His CLASSY
eye scale is so tough that it effect
ually protects the true eve from the
twigs, sharp grass and other obstruc-
tons which the snake encounters in
it's travels, yet it is transparent
enough to allow the most perfect vi
sion. Thus, if the snake has not a
glass eye, it may, at any rate, be said
to wear eye glasses.

Queer Features of Malaria.

Free drinking of water will favor
malarial infection. The old belief Of
the danger Of eating watermelons has
it's truth nicely hidden, and the con-
verse is also true.
Again and again l see harvest hands
sleeping out bitten by swarms Of
mosquitoes nightly, escaping all
symptoms until they stop work and
sweating, and then in less than a week
they will come to me with a history
of a chill. Now. after treating a few
families you will notice that the chill
dren and young adults have it, but
the grandparents, old and dried up,
usually escape. If you find an old, lit
tie withered man or woman they are
free. This may be from their lack
of Juices or from acquired immunity.
In many cases of old residents | am
sure it is the latter, but even in new
corners the thin, dry grandparents es-
cape. Malaria is practically disease
of childhood. So universal is it that
few children escape, and their watery
structure favors infection, until by
years of suffering they win immunity.
Perhaps you have seen a mau who
has gone untreated for long time and
worn out the disease. He is weak.
bloodless and yellow, but he is as dry
as if he had been baked. Every pos
sibls. drop of water has been excreted
and he gets well.-Medical Record

Little Prince Edward of Wales, tho
grandson of the King of England, Is
said to have great liking for cere-

policemen at Marlborough House shall
salute him at least three times every
day, and he loves to march through
the grounds just to receive their sa-
lutes. If ever this attention is neg.

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.
Its Use More Extensive in Europe
Than in America.


In Europe the use of electricity
in farming, while by no means extern
sive, still is more frequent than in this
country, says the Electrical Review.
In Germany a good deal OF attention
has been devoted to developing cleo
trical systems of ploughingr and Gull
tivating, and other countries have
shown a willingness to try the new
system. France, in particular, seems
to be giving electricity thorough
trial. The southern part of France
abounds in waterfalls. These water
powers have been developed for light
ing and furnishing power to the
neighboring towns, and an important
part of output of these stations is used
on the farms. Here, motors are adapt
ed to doing all kinds of work They
are always ready to start: they are,
in general, transportable, so that they
can be moved from place to place, and
they consume nothing when idle
Where the farm is fairly large it owns
its own motor and keeps it working
good part of the day. Smaller farms
combine and make one motor do the
work for all. carrying it about from
place to place as needs require. 1t is
possible that in this section of the
country the horse has never been an
important factor. and the small farm
er has been able to get his products
on the market by other means.

Telephones Increasing.

Within the last ten years the growth
of the telephone business has been
very rapid. The reports of the Bell
companies show a skiold increase
in the number of outstanding instru-
ments since 1898. There are now
more than one and half million sub
scribers in these companies, and in
the last four years the long distance
traffic has increased 80 percent.
