4 hUSH FOR WoRK.

There seem to be many who are not afraid to go to the Isthnus of Panama to work on the canal. The United States Civil Service Commission has had 50,o00 applications for jobs on the isthmus, and has already examined
 more than 5000 candidates. The re- ports of yellow fever at Panama and the complaints of employees already there regarding poor pay, high cost of 1 living and numerous personal discom- forts to which they are subjected have not discouraged the multitudes at home. Examiners in the Civil Service Commission say that a great majority
 of the applicants for places on the ca- nal are actuated by spirit of adven- | ture. They see an opportunity to get 8 l free trip to a strange country and think that during their idle hours they may
 run across 8 hidden gold mine or make a fortune raising bananas. When they ! find that the government requires an agreement to be signed, by which the employe binds himself to work for the 1 United States at least one year, thou sands of the candidates tear up their application papers. Almost as many
 more are dropped because of poor phy- sical condition. The medical examina- | tion for positions on the canal is very severe, and candidates must possess a vigorous constitution, strong heart and kidneys free from all disease if they are to be accepted.
 The government is having difficulty l in securing steam shovelers. There is
 no lack of good men for all other posi- tions, but the number of steam shovel CTS seems to be limited. The pay is s19O
 a month, yet few eligibles apply. An
 examination is to be held on May at nearly every large city in the country, when candidates for the following places will be given opportunity to show what they know: Train men, gen.
 eral yard foremen, train conductors, lo
 comotive engineers, switch engineers, helpers, firemen and steam shovelers

thuanian Socialist party, and the Rus sian Revolutionary League, whose members speak German and Yiddish and profess doctrines resembling those of revolutionary anarchism. The Polish National Conservatives and even the Democratic Pan-Polish party believe these Socialist organizations to be working against the best interests of the Polish race in exposing the country to ruthless repression by the Russian authorities and giving Prussia pretext for offering to Russia her good offices in restoring order The Polish Ma tionalists, he says, have abandoned all notion of a possible restoration of the Polish Kingdom, and believe that the hope of their country depends upon the triumph of reform in Russia. They re- gard Prussia as their inveterate enemy, declaring that the German government has been the constant enemy of reform in Russia, both because reform would strengthen Russia and because the es- tablishment of representative control over the omnipotent but corrupt bu- reaucracy in Russia would deprive the masked despotism existing at Berlin of one of it's sturdiest props. Under re- formed government, they say, Russians and Poles could cooperate to their mu- tual benefit.

THE POLISH SITUATION

Moderate Polish Nationalists are said to be much concerned over rumors that subscriptions are to be started in Eu- rope for the relief of Polish revolution
 ists in Russia. A correspondent, evil dentiy authoritative, of London jour- nal, writes to say that the strike move- ment and accompanying disturbances in Russian Poland are in no sense Polish national demonstrations, but are exclu- sively the work of three revolutionary rganizations-the Polish Social Demo- cratic party, working in sympathy with the German Social Democrats; the Li-

FLoArtAG MINAS Aor USEFUL.

It has been made pretty plain in the ! war between Russia and Japan that floating mines are not very useful. They appear to be less dangerous to the foe than to those who attempt to make use of them. While submarine boats have cut no figure thus far in the war, it is recognized that they are destined to be far more useful than floating or sub. merged mines, which may be moved long distances by the tides. A member of the United States fertilization board testifies that 'ithe trials given submar- inc mines in Narraganset bay during the Spanish war resulted unsatisfac- torily, due chiefly to the strong cur rents which sweep through the harbor and entrances to the bay and make such defenses extremely dangerous The fertilization board is studying the sub- ject carefully, and we get this intima- tion as to it's eonclusions: "The es-
  tablished fact that a number of the Russian warships were blown up by their own submarine mines and the present practice of England in discard ing submarine mine defenses to a great extent in harbors where there are wide channels to defend and where the tides are strong, and placing there submar- inc boats, has added to the sentiment in favor of replacing mines with boats" So France, which has gone into the submarine boat line more extensively than any other nation, seems to be jus- tified But wait till the United States gets started.

Verify this is a blessed country. We are in such peace that our President can leave the capital and go hunting bears, coyotes, etc. People who want work can, as a rule, find it. We are so rich that we don't have to take tainted money" and now on top of these and other blessings comes the news of what the winter wheat crop has been doing for us and is likely to do for us. The showing for the winter wheat crop is eight points and more above the April average of 1904. The winter wheat av- craze for eleven States and one Ter ritory is now 91.6, by the governments report. This promises a yield, for 31,- 155,31S acres, of 479,7S7, ,O0O bushels.
 Of course drought, rust, insects and storms may damage the winter wheat. but it is unlikely that the contribution of the winter wheat States to the total yield of wheat will be any less than it was in 1903, and it is likely to be the greatest yield on record. If it is It can be sold at good prices, for the world likes our good wheat, and must have it. If this country keeps on prospering as it has lately we shall all be rich be- yond the dreams of avarice, that is, if we all get our share, which we probably shall. Rockefeller has, it is said, all he wants, and is inclined to give others show, especially Baptists.

HOW TO PREVENT APPENDICITIS

HOW TO PREVENT APPENDICITIS
 Joseph Kidd, M. D., an eminent Eng fish physician and specialist, deals with the cause and cure of appendi- citis in a manner and from a point of view which make his observations of exceeding value and interest to the lay reader. Dr. Kidd has had 50 years of extensive practice in London, and it is his testimony that appendicitis was very infrequent until about 30 years ago. As for the causes of the disease, he attributes it often to chill. Hurri- ] ed eating and imperfect masticatien,
 he says. are very potent causes of ap=
 pendicitis. The excessive use of aperi-
 ent waters and salts is spoken of as another fruitful source of trouble. In the matter of prevention, Dr. Kidd sums up his advice under the follow
 ing heads:
 CD Do not neglect chills when heat ed by exercise, especially after games on grass, or when much fatigued in mind or body, The actual exciting
 cause in most cases is chill. The bac-
 terial forces are very quiescent till the colon is blocked by undigested food;
 then a chill develops the peritonitis to which the infiamed appendix adds
 greater intensity and danger to life. (2) Mastieate well, eat slowly, do not
 swallow any food that is not perfectly
 softened by the teeth. Even salads,
 fruit, nuts, almonds, raisins, may be
 taken freely if really will masticated.
 In the haste and hustle of city life it is
 better to take half meal well masti-
 cated than to bolt the whole in a hurry,

l3) Avoid aperient salts, waters, or pills Far better to let nature do her own work, undisturbed by purgatives Of any sort. The doctor may find it necessary to order an aperient for a sick person, but the use of the aperient ought gradually to cease and not be- come a habit. With patience and diet management, nature may be allowed unhindered to resume her ordinary fla- bit of health, a Slow, gradual process. --Ieslie,s Weekly. ...........s.

The oldest lawsuit in North Carolina Is now being finally settled. It is that of the eastern band of Cherokee Indi- ans against W. H. Thomas and others, involving great many thousand acres of land and also other interests. Thomas was for some years before the civil war the chief of the eastern band, and raised legion of troops from among his Cherokees, which was in the Confederate service, being one of the North Carolina regiments. The case began in 1867 in the federal court for the western North Carolina district, and since that date more than ninety attorneys have been employed. Every lawyer who was first employed has died.
