A STOLEN STATE LINE MARK

The Lake Michigan end of the
state line between Indiana and Hi
nois has been lost or stolen, and the
police of two states are hunting for
it. The mark for years has been
stone at One Hundred and Eighth
street and Indianapolis avenue. On
one side was cut the word Indiana"
and on the other "Illinois."
The stone was four feet long and
two feet high, one and a half feet
projecting above the ground. Not
only has it been removed, but the
hole from which it was taken has
been filled, so no one can tell exact
ly where it stood. The police be-
heye some householder, more thrifty
than honest. has imbedded the stone
in the foundation of residence or
used it as a base for lawn flower
pot.
The next boundary stone is five
miles inland, and survey will have
to be made from that point before
the place foS a new Lake Michigan
mark can be established.-Chicago

President Polk In Boston.

Charles j. Bateman, descendant
Of President Polk, asked to tell Of
some anecdotc concerning his dis
tinguished ancestor, told the follow
ing story:
'1t is said that when President
Polk visited Boston he was impress
lively received at Faneuil Hall mar
ket. The clerk walked in front of
him down the length of the market,
announcing in loud tones:
"'Make way, gentlemen, for the
president Of the United States The
president of the United States Eel
low citizens, make roomv
"The chief executive had stepped
into one of the stalls to look at some
game when Mr.. Rhodes, the secre-
tary, turned around suddenly and,
finding himself alone, promptly
changed his tone and exclaimed:

COMPOUNDED idiot got to ?"-Louis-

MUST HAVE M0aG THAN HALF

"a good many people have not
stopped 10 think that in order to
win the next presidential election
the Democrats will have to get one
more vote than the Republicans"
said Judge w. B. Alexander of Chi
cago.
'How do you make that .out,
judge?"
"Well, it's easy enough. The to-
tai vote of the electoral college is
476. If it should by any rare chance
happen that each party got one-halt
this total-in other words, if the
election resulted in a tie, the Demo
Gratis getting 238 and the Republic
ans the same number, the contest
would then be thrown into the house
of representatives. The Republic
ans in that body, having large pre-
dominance in the number of states
under their control, would proceed
of course to the election of their
candidate.
$50 you will observe that in order
to win the Democrats will have to
secure 800 votes, or just one more
than half the college, while the 9th
er side can make out on 238."-

An exchange calls attention to
the fact that the Southern To.
bacconist" has the courage to warn
against the excessive use of tobac-
co by minors. 1t cites the fact
that "there are business men of
biggest brain, railroad presidents
and great factory arrangements,
etc., who prohibit cigaret smok
ing in old or young, based on the
fact that cigaret smokers are far
less useful and reliable, morally
and physically, than non-users j..
We must accept the practical re-
suit as fact" declares the "To-
bacconist," and asks: "Where is
there a parent that advises his son
to smoke for his health or for bus
mess good? We are opposed TO the
youthful smoker who never knows
what excess or harm is until bad
health comes. And this from a
paper whose very existence would
seem to depend upon the cultiva-
ton, manufacture and use of to-
bacco.

A German chemist, DIR. Heuner,
proposes to buy up all cocoanut oils
and transform them into vegetable
butter" savory, inodorous and
succulent substitute for true butter.
Cocoanut oil, like butter, contains Z
per cent of soluble acids-namely,
butyric acid and capric or decylic
acid, which give pleasant aroma
to butter and have taste of hazel
nut. Cocoa butter contains less wa
ter than true butter and will keep
fifteen or twenty days without show
ing any acid reaction. Therefore
it is useful in making pastry. Cocoa
butter has also been found by trial
the better antiseptic against infec-
ton by microbes, and as it is quite
digestible the various boards Of
health have not objected to it.

A Nervy Little General.

General Esteban Huertas, COM
mander in chief Of the army of Pan
anna, is believed to be the youngest
and smallest general in the world,
as his country is the youngest, if not
the smallest, Of republics. He is
about twenty-nine years old, has
been a soldier since he was eight or
nine and is proud Of the fact that
he has risen from the lowest ranks.
In one of the revolutions of a few
years ago, when he was fighting on
the side of the government, his
right arm was hit by shell. 1t is
said that when he found his arm
was nearly severed he hacked off the
rest with his own knife, had the
short stub bound and resumed his
work in the field. Now, for his
services to Panama during the crit
ical period of its birth he has been
granted $4,000 to pay the expense
of trip to study the military organ
ixations of the leading nations.

Tho MOSQUITO Plant.

The mosquito plant" species Of
basil, is attracting a great deal of
attention in England just now. An
army officer who secured one of
these plants in Nigeria says it is
well known as a mosquito defense
there, and the natives use an infu-
sion of its leaves to cure malarial
fevers. AS soon as hedge of this
shrub was planted about the Vic
toria gardens, Bombay, India, the
workmen, who had previously been
almost unable to work because of
the swarms of mosquitoes, had no
further trouble with either these
pests or the scourge of malaria
from which they had been suffering.

American Trousers In London.

l notice that visitors from the
United States this summer, and es-
pecially the younger men, are wear
ing very loose trousers, and, while
there is at present no tendency in
this country to depart from the
rather close fit which has been for
a long time prevalent, possibly this
may eventually lead the way to a
change in British fashion.
l hope, though on this it is posi-
bic l may be disappointed, that the
American visitors who have brought
wide trousers with them will take
back a preference for our own de-
cidedly superior cut instead of in
fecting us with taste which cannot
be critically approved. In any event,
the creased front is rather an abb
surd accompaniment of loose trou-
sers. If we are eventually to have
loose trousers, they will look good
deal better if not thus creased, at
least so thinks the present writer

very much appreciated by bluejack-

cash on some very strange animals
The Centurion once had monkey
that used to eat with spoon from
plate and drink from glass, with
Q dinner napkin tucked under his
chin the while. The Caesar had
pet goose some time back. Cats and
dogs of course are common on board
ship. The French warship Marceau
had a bantam cock named Boulan-
ger as pet which crowed when
ever the guns were fired. The Ger
man Prins Wilhelm had a gray
stork, and the United States Chica-
go had pig. Doves, pigeons, black
birds and peacocks are popular with
Italian seamen, and the unfortunate

The African MaohilIa.

In recently published book on
central Africa H. l.. Duff says: "The
principal means of conveyance all
over the Nyasaland and the Shire
districts is the machilla, or ham
mock, simple contrivance of can
vas and bamboo carried on the
shoulders of natives. An average
machilla team for fairly long
journey may consist of from fifteen
to twenty men, and if these are up
to their work and have good roads
before them they will travel at a
very creditable rate indeed and will
cover thirty or forty miles without
difficulty between dawn and dusk.
AS a rule the machilla is carried by
only two men at a time, one at each
end of the pole, the remainder trot-
ting behind and relieving the car
riers at intervals of ten minutes or
80. The whole team as it speeds
keeps up constant chorus, varying
from mere individual yells to actual
songs of regular beat and rhythm"
