At Mondays meeting of the county
commissioners County Auditor Krah-
mer and the commissioners will enjoy
their last opportunity to rectify the
course that they have pursued concern
ing the repair of county roads.
The auditor has for some months re-
fused to sign the warrants turning the
road and bridge money over to the
township officials. although instructed
to do so by, County Attorney Kane. The
township officers have given the re-
quired bond and have been ready to
proceed with the work. This they
could not do without the money Mr..
krahmer persists in the course that he
has pursued.
Although the county commissioners
have had the power to proceed with the
repairs by letting the work on bids,
they have not done this. A resolution
introduced at the last meeting of the
county board instructirg the auditor to
sign the warrants was withdrawn, and
1t is not expected that it will be rein
troduced. Even though the commits
sioners should pass such a resolution
because of the nearness of the primary
election, it is held by the county attor-
ney that 1T would not be necessary for
the auditor to obey the instructions
AT several meetings of farmers Au-
dltor Krahmer has been held to be
largely responsible for the condition of
the roads. 1t is claimed that his eff
forts to convince the farmers that such
is not the case has not resulted salts
factorily. Krahmer is accused of hav-
ing endeavored to place the blame on
the Republican county commissioners,
and it is possible that the commission
ers may ON Monday pass resolution
putting the responsibility where they
think it belongs.

SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD
A Senseless Practice That Is Met
With in a Great Many
Homes.

1t is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten house
holds either 10 minutes or half an
hour fast, and should you happen
to be in a hurry or mention the
fact that you have to be going,
you are at once treasured by the
fact that you have no cause to
hurry, as the clock is so much
ahead of the time, says the New
York News.
Has it ever occurred to you
why clocks are usually put ahead.
Some physicians have said that it
is due to laziness, for it is such a
satisfaction to the lazy man to
find when he has to get up at seven
in the morning and strains his
half-clOsed eyes to look at the
clock, that it is a little fast.
Said a matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
eyes, it is a peculiar thing with
most people to put their clocks
fast, and while there may be some
satisfaction in it when it comes to
doing a little longer, there is real.
ly no advantage in it, for when
you wake up, say, at six and glance
at the clock and it registers six
the fact remains that it is a hall

you feel easier, knowing that yor

tage in it.
"Why not have the clock right
1t is the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to pu.

William Penn, when be came to
America, gave a most interesting
account of the Indians whom we
met. "They are generally tall,
straight, well built and Of singu-
lar proportion" he said. 'They

with the east Indians and blacks,

WHEN VEN HAND OUT TIPS
Nothing Is Too Good When They Are
with Ladies at the
Table.

Boarding at one of the hotels is
a woman who takes an interest in
everything. Coming down to
breakfast one morning, relates
the Chicago Inter Ocean, she dis
covered that her waiter had been
replaced by a new man. She asked
for the old man.
"He's been transferred to the
buffet" was the reply.
Seeing the old waiter in the cor
ridor the next week she sent for
him.
81 suppose you like being down
stairs much better she said, "be-
cause you have men to wait upon"
81 don't like it at all, ma'am," he
replied.
"You don't like it! How can
that be, with none but the tip-giv-
ing sex TO server
"It's this way, ma'am," says he.
"Down there the men don't give
tips Of any amount, sometimes not
as much as women do"
"But you told me some months
ago that they do" interrupted this
sociological investigator.
"That's when they are with la.
dies. Then nothin's too good, and
they are ready to pay handsomely
for the best possible service.
When they're alone most of 'em
simply wants something good to
eat without unnecessary frills
Some meals they tip moderately
and some they don't"

JAPs STUDY EXPLOSIVES.
Results Of Their knowledge Of Chem
istry Shown in War with
Russians.

Probably no eastern nation is
more strongly represented than
are the Japanese in the English
annals of science and more partic-
ularly in literature on chemistry.
They possess an undoubtedly
strong faculty for original re
search and they combine this fac
tor with a sharp-sightedness as
to the possibility of practical APP
plicatiOn of the fruits of research.
The Japanese chemist, in fact,
unites the power of originality of
the English chemist and the prac-
teal intuition of the German. At
the University of Toxic practical
study is much favored and splen-
did facilities for work are pro-
vided in the laboratories and
workshops.
There r several distinguished
Japanese chemists who are fell
lows of the English Chemical sOci-
ETY. and who were elected to the
fellowship on account of the ex-
cellence of their contributions to
original science. Many elaborate
papers involving long and patient
laboratory Investigations are
printed in full in the transactions
of the society. The Japanese
chemists discuss with a freedom
which astonishes the western
chemists all the modern abstruse
theories bearing upon anatomie
theory, the constitution of mat
ter, the theory of dissertation, and
so forth. They write powerful dis
sertatiOns on the views already
advanced by such esteemed think
ers as OSWALD, Arrhenius, Kelyia,
Thomson, Lodge, Crookes and
Ramyas, and have offered valua,
BILE criticisms on the methods of
systematizing and compiling
atomic weights adopted by west
ern chemists.
Chemistry, of course, is a pow.
erful weapon in war and there can
be little doubt that among other
things which have so far contrib
uted to japanese successes is a
sound knowledge of explosives,
their composition, action and be-
haviOr under a variety of condi-
tons. When there is no longer
any need for the implements of
battle, and may that soon be, the
same subtle insight which is so re.
markable a feature of the Japan.
ese intellect may turn with equal
success to the application of sci
ence to peace pursuits.

COFFEE AS A FuMIoANT.
Clears a Room of Offensive odor More
Quickly and Thoroughly Than
Any Other.

"CoTce is en- excellent fumi-
CANT, ana re whose pungent odOr
vanishes nor quickly than those
in ordinary use" states Prof. Mar
Gus |. Epstein, reports the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. NO mat
ter what the disagreeable odor in
the apartment may be, the coffee
not only drives it out, but absOrbs
it, decomposes il, one might say,
and replaces it with the healthy
OdOr of coffee, which cannot be dis
agreeable to even the most sensi-
tive.
"a proof of the fact that coffee
actually absorbs the other odor is
found when the coffee is first
burnt. If it simply drove the
other OdOr from the room, the
smell Of coffee around the stove
would be very strong, but it can
hardly be noticed for some min
utes and then appears generally
in all portions of the place being
fumigated. To use coffee as a
fumigant, a quantity must be
crushed and placed on the top of a
very hot stove and allowed to
burn either directly on the stove
lids or in a receptacle provided for
the purpose. 1t destroys all odors
effectually, and its own odor viii

While on a cattle station in

ton had an opportunity of seeinga
remarkable instance of the way in
which animals can adapt them
selves to their surroundings, says
u writer in Australind.
"On the upper reaches of the
river there was a large pool, Just
fOrdable at most times, but in a
dry season very low" he says.
among the horses making their
run in the vicinity of this pool, an
old mare and a number of fOals
and yearlings used to come down
every day in the long, dry summer,
when the heritage was scant and
scOrched into dryness. They
waded into the pool until the
water nearly reached their heads,
and stood there for hours, diving
to the bottom for a mOuthful of
succulent weeds, which they
chewed at leisure with their drip.
ping heads raised above the wa
ter.
''The first time | witnessed this
strange sight was during a dry
season, when | was riding with
the overseer in search of some
strayed stock. AS we approached
the pool my companion babe me

we rode quietly up to the pool
saw a group of horses standing in
the water and disappearing from
time to time as they ducked their
heads below the surface. My won

one of their heads suddenly come
out with a mouthful of dripping
weeds. Nc sooner was this mouth
full disposed of than the head dis
appeared in search of another.
"The overseer told me that dur

years previous, when hardly n
vestige of feed was left on the run,
and bush fires had laid bare the
sand plains, the old mare had dis
covered that there was plenty of
luscious feed at the bottom of
pools, which could be procured by
diving for it; and, having once put
her discovery into practice, she
continued to do out of preference
what she had been driven to do by
necessity.
