Ihe horse sickness, which have caused such anxiety to the colonial authori- ties. His work was confined almost entirely to Rhodesia, and he reports that the cattle suffered neither from r1nderpest nor Texas fever, but from a specific disease which had long been prevalent on the East African coast and was probably imported into Rho- desfa by cattle brought from the coast. Prof Koch says that he recognized the disease seven years ago on the coast of German East Africa; that he called it "coast fever," and succeeded in finding method of minimizing cat tie against 1t. He made an investlga- tion of the "horse sickness from which about 90 per cent of the horses died in some districts and which has hitherto resisted all curative and i'm munfZing methods. He is said to have devised means of immunization which work satisfactorily in the labor atory, but must, of course, be tried in cases of natural infection. The la boratory experiments will be contin- ued in Berlin. The professor is in TO- bust health and has resumed his du- ties as chief of the Royal Institution for Infectious Diseases in Berlin.

There is much comparison these days of the civilization of Japan and Russia. With both nations the talk ing on of modern European cfviliza- ton is a recent act as we record the history of nations, says an exchange. Peters subjects made of the import ed civilization an outer garment, be- heath which they continued to wear the rags of their Asiatic barbarism, while the subjects of Mutsohfto have honestly striven to adopt 1t as their national dress. The attitudes of Ja- pan and Russia toward the modern world are in sharp contrast. The one is striving to adapt herself to civilt- zation; the other to adapt civilization to herself.

woMAN's WAY OF FINDING OUT

"Women's ways are inscrutable and they do a great many things that seem to be utterly without point to men, but it has been my experience that time shows they had q pretty good reason for the queer tricks they play ed us,' said B. A. Cobbs of Montreal, Canada.
 'For instance" he continued, "my wife has an angelic disposition. She has always had that disposition, and it was one of the many things that at, tracted me to her. After we became engaged, however, on several occa- sions she did things which seemed to me to be utterly inexcusablez I've got something of temper, and I would get pretty hot, but every time the lit. tie trouble passed off-she having gained her point, however. This sort of thing happened several times, but we were finally married.
 After the ceremony she never gave any symptoms of inconsistency, but was always as sweet and amiable as she could be. One day I asked her why she had done these things during our engagement and if she had done them merely to make me angry. Certainly I did, my dear,' was her surprising reply. I am prudent wo- man and merely wanted to make sure could manage you when you r1s4ye mad "-LouisVille Herald.

In New York the most magnificent hotel in the world is approaching com pletion. Marble and tapestries and costly bronze, and wonderful carvings everywhere; suites furnished at from $5,0OO to $6O, ,O0O-so 1t goes. The man agement is already certain of the sue cess of the enterprise, so many app1i- cations for permanent quarters have come in, says the Saturday Evening Post. Very significant are the. pre- parations for separating the rich from their money that are going forward everywhere nowadays. If the rich were permitted to live simply and bring up their children in simplicity we might be in great danger of having permanent aristocracy on our hands. But how many generations can with stand the acid floods of costly luxuryY Business ability fades; the struggle ot the arena becomes distasteful, abhor- rent, impossible; the family line crumbles-and there are no permanent political privileges to maintain the family after the brains and energy are gone. Luxury will destroy an aris- tocracy. But if the aristocracy has no political power, how can the lux ury destroy the state?

Regarding domestic science as a profession, Anna Barrow's writing in the Chautaquan says that the young woman of ability and education, who has taken two years of special train ing in the arts and sciences underly- ing the routine of. daily life of a household, large or small, who does not expect position made to suit her, but who is ready to cope with diffi- entities, will find the world waiting for her help in several directions. She may teach domestic science In public or private schools or lecture before women's clubs. She may direct the dietaries and feed large numbers of persons in hospitals and schools, or send into other homes food prepared under her own roof. It is doubtful whether there are any occupations in the world which are so certain to be lasting as those that deal with our daily food.

HE WOULD TAKE NO RISKS.

'In the west" said William Sturgis of Cheyenne, Wyo, the people take very slowly to the notion that govern ment should busy itself in the en- deavor to regulate public morals.
 "For that reason, although we have pretty stiff state anti-gambling law. the statute is of little potency, and the boys gather in the old familiar cen ters to bet their coin against faro, roulette, hazard or poker.
 Mot long ago one of my clients, of the cowbody tribe. who had deposited $1 ,00O with me, made trip to town, and for several days got me to let him have about $100 per diem. I thought he was trying his luck at faro, and finally, when he had spent just half his capital, I advised him that the writing of checks was getting mo- notonous, and that if he meant to keep on playing to withdraw the re- maining $500 in a lump, so that he need not bother to hunt for me- At the same time advised him in strong terms to stop then and there and take no chance in losing the money he had acquired through months of patient toll on the plains. He heard me through with the utmost patience, talk. 1 ing no apparent heed of my rebuke and then said: II know what you say l Is true, Judge; but supposing I should die right sudden and get no chance tC spend that other $500?'

FOG WHISTLE NEW STYLE.

Yankee Invention that May be Tested
 at Long Island Sound Point.
 Jason Ball, of Duncan, Conn, is
 after the lighthouse officials for authority to erect on Faulkner's Isl-
 and in Long Island sound fog signal which he is confident will break all
 records in noise making.
 The island has been for more than
 a century fayorite spot for, the testing of such devices. It is con- venient of access from the north shore
 of the sound, and is a point which l the Sound steamers to and from New
 York invariably 'sget hold of" at night.
 Moreover, the distances at which sounds can be heard from this island i in all sorts of weather can be readily
 measured on the mainland of Con- necticut, a few miles away.
 l Some curious inventions have al-
 ready been tested by private indiVidu- als on this island. Some years ago | a man named Greenfield set an up-
 right steam boiler here and fitted a very large calliope or pull out" wins l tie upon it. The unearthly yell of GreenfieId's whistle was heard for
 several months, but it was found l that it's notes would not carry very 1 far, and that it cost too much to fur nish steam for it.
 l After this, new inventor made l his appearance. He had with him "a megaphone sixteen feet long.
 which was mounted on turntable
 so that it would swing to all points.
 As the megaphone, which had t
 mouth seven feet across, swung ar
 ound it gave forth sounds from q
 compressed air engine. which was operated by a 16 horsepower kero-
 sene motor This whirling megaphone
 had trial for over four years, and was thought to be a good thing until several storms so heavy that they
 prevented the turning of the mega
 phone ruined it's reputation. 1 About five years ago still another style of Inegaphone foghorn was 1es- l ted This was collection of eight paper megaphones, each eight feet l long, with mouths four feet across, l and so arranged as to point to eight 1 principal points of the compass. l Where the small ends of the mega
 phones met, siren whistle revolved and threw its notes, first into one megaphone and then into the other. l It was said that the noise could be l heard, with a fair wind, at Wadfng River, on the Long Island shore, thir- l ty miles away. This machine proved l success, but was not adopted by the l United States and was finally re- moved to Canada.
 MT Ball plans to arrange six nIon- ster megaphones made of metal, three 1 of them to be forty feet long, with
 nine foot mouths. These will be con nected at the small ends, and point up an down and across the sound. l The three other megaphones will be similar, one of them opening to the l north and the other two to the south east and the southwest.
 MT Ball believes that the three larger horns will throw sounds to
 Bartlett's Reef near New London on
 the east, to Long Island on the south and to Stratford shores on the west.
 He will operate his battery of horns I with two 15 horsepower oil engines
 and compressed air, and he is confi-
 dent that he will give Uncle Sam a whistle that can drill through any
 fog.

It may be asked, what is an illustra- ton of the discretion of a political correspondent? A writer in the Book man answers: Several of the core spondents were chatting with Pres1- dent Mckinley in his office in the white house early in 1900. Senator Hanna dropped in and the president said: Mark, you're the man I want to see. I want to tell you that ttyou mustn't push that subsidy bill of yours this session. know it's the pride of your heart, but you mustn't do it. It's not wise. It won't do.'' The correspondents who were present merely sent to their newspapers that night the information that there was little or no likelihood that Senator Hanna's ship-subsidy bill would gu through that winter. Again, when President Mckinley was berated for not hurrying along the war with Spain, he told the correspondents q haven't got enough of that big brown powder on hand yet. We are push ing the mills as fast as possible" The correspondents gave a number of req sons for the delay tn the war prepar- ations, all truthful, but they neglected to give the real reason in their dis patches to their newspapers. That would have been too good reading for Spain and might have injured our cause. . -.....

PAID HIGH FOR A NAP.
A Negro Bishop Chartered an Entire Sleeper
and Paid $50 for it.


Last week the bishops council of the
A. NJ. E. church met in Mobile, Alabama,
and taste of the bitter race prejudice
was prominent feature of the occasion.
When Bishop Arnett reached Cincin-
natl on his way south he decided to
make the journey in Pullman sleeper.
The company refused to let him ride in
sleeper where other passengers were to
ride. The bishop was informed that he,
being negro, could not get into Sleep
er unless he took and paid for a whole
car. Being shut up to this or to ride
through the south in Jim crow car the
bishop chose the former and paid $50 for
his car.
When the council had adjourned the
bishops and ministers present agreed
among themselves to throw in to charter
sleeper. This they did and moved all
their traps to the sleeper, which stood on
the sidetrack of the road. The hour for
retiring having arrived before the train
tnat was to pull the sleeper out from Mo-
bile the men all went in and went to bed
When the train arrived and the train
crew learned that "niggers" were in this
particular sleeper they refused to haul it
out and the agent confessed his inability
to force the crew to do it.-chicago Con-

Outrage Near PacOlet.

SPARTANBURG, Feb. s9.-Crip Anderson
a negro, was lodged in Jail today on the
serious charge of criminal assault. He
was brought here from Pacolet by a con-
stable, having been committed by Magis-
trate Gossett of that place. He is accused
of criminally assaulting Mary Ann Hill,
an aged and respectable white woman,
who lives near Pacolet with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Millie Low, who swore out the
warrant The alleged offence is said to
have been committed on last Friday, when
the woman was at the house alone. The
reason why it was not made known
sooner, according TO Mrs. Low, is that her
mother, who is IS years of age, and in
her dotage, fearing the threats of the ne
gro, decided to tell no one, but finally i'm
parted it to her daughter, with the result
that the negro was promptly arrested.
