In winter, when the snow lies deep on
the ground, the deer often live in
yards spaces where they have
trampled down the snow, with paths
running in many directions. Here they
seem to live chiefly on the food which
is growing on the ground, and which
they uncover with their hoofs though
they also browse more or less on the
twigs which grow near their pathways.

rHE WHrrB r1AaUn IN IIIlNoIs.

The fight against 'the white plague
lis growing sharp, and while it is not
yet being carried on as intelligently
and efficiently as the Japanese carry
on their war, it is gaining in both in
telligence and efficiency. The Ill
inois State Board of Health has walk
ed up to the situation. 1t finds that
in Illinois tuberculosis is responsible for
more deaths than typhoid fever, scarlet
fever, diphtheria, all forms of bronchf-
tbs, influenza, measles and smallpox
combined. 1t is further found that
those dying from consumption are u.s.
ualIy in the prime of life and of ages
at which men are most valuable to
themselves, their families and the
state. Of the 1000 persons who died
from this disease in Illinois in 1908,
half Of them were between the ages OF
20 and 50, while the estimated loss each
year to the State because of the dis
ease. is about $ss,OOO,oOO. The investi-
cations of the Illinois board have DEM
onstrated athat an especial climate is
not essential to the cure of consump-
ton, but that the disease is durable in
Illinois. In the circular suggestions are
made to consumptives on methods of
life calculated to lead to physical i'm
provement and it also announces that
the board has established a laboratory
in which the sputum of suspected tu-
bercu1osis cases will be examined with
out cost. An appeal is made for the
establishment of a State hospital for
the treatment of the disease.
This is a good beginning. When peo-
pie find out that much of the consump-
ton is preventable, that much of it can
be cured without Change of climate" "
and that the money spent in fighting
the disease is well spent there will be
great gain.

raging like tigers, and seemed to hold
each other responsible for what was

that we could not help laughing, al

The famous old Constellation is un-
dergoing repairs at the Brooklyn navy
yard. Contrary to general expeeta-
tions. the vessel appears to be in a re-
markable state of preservation, and
may again be used in active service.
The records Of the United States navy
show that the Constellation was launch
ed September 4, 1897. two weeks before
the Constitution. This makes her the
oldest ship in our navy, and possibly in
the world.

AGITATION IN THE 4RAvSTAAE.


Paul Kruger and his republic are
dead, but there isn't entire peace in
the Transvaal yet. The question of
representative government is likely to
become burning one there before
long. The present legislative council
was nominated for two years, and will
expire next June. Already there are
protests against the appointment of a
new council. and demands for some
form Of representative government. The
matter has been brought to the front by
a speech delivered recently by Mr.. Abe
Bailey, a politician Of some prominence.
He said that an election in the near
future was bound to be fought on racial
lines. The figures of the census gave APP
proximately a proportion of IA Dutch to

The Massachusetts, scheme to pay
one hundred and twenty-five dollars
to every veteran Of the civil war maxi
ing application for it, provided he did
not receive bounty when he enlisted,
has received setback by the decision
of the attorney general that the act was
not passed legally over the veto Of Gov
ernor Bates. 1t seems that the vote Of
the house to enact the law in spite of
the veto received the votes Of two
thirds Of the members present, but not
two-thirds of the members elected to
that body. The attorney general did
not pass upon the constitutionality of
the law itself, contenting himself with
the opinion that it was not properly en-
acted. When the friends of the meas
ure take it to the courts they will prob
ably ask that all its features be passed
upon as well as the method Of enacting
IT.

Democracy will try this week.
to- choose a leader to oppose
president Roosevelt, not that it
expects to elect it's choice, but
simply by way Of holding the
party together and hoping for a
future opportunity.
So long as democracy persists
in it's present method of choosing
d leader the republicans have
little to fear. The people Of the
United States want a man for
president who stands for some
thing; the democrats on the con
trary simply want a man who
halls from a doubtful state.
When the democrats nominated
Bryan they were dangerous
though Nebraska's votes We're
few but if they nominate Parker
they will be entirely harmless
though New York states votes
are many.
Democracy has many grand
old men, many statesmen who
have beer tried and proved true.
These men would command the
respect of the whole country but
democracy will not nominate
them. Its leaders and its rank
and file are thinking Of how they
may carry New York rather than
of the kind Of man they shall offer
as candidate for president Of
the, United States.
