Don't Mix Rum With Fruit.

James. L. Loring Of Dallas Centre
has written to the state board Of health
to call attention to the fact that
warning to the Iowa people who go to
the Isthmus of Panama not to mix
the native drink with fruit would be
a wise and humane thing for the board
to promulgate.
Mr.. Loring knows something OF the
equatorial regions, though his knowl-
edge of the native liquors in that sec
ton has been gained wholly by OBJ
servation and not by participating In
the riots which they are guaranteed to
engender.
"I went into a port down there one
time In a ship with twenty-six men IN
the crew." he says to the board OF
health in his letter. LAS soon as the
anchor was down we were surrounded
with boats from which fruits OF all
kinds were sold, and. of course, this
sugar cane rum. Mosquitoes had moth
ing to do with US, but within week
sixteen of our crew had gone ashore
feet foremost and others were down
sick with yellow fever. Several ships
lost every soul on board.
"One day I asked the city physician
what caused such a great loss Of life.
He sliced a pineapple; put a slice In
a saucer and poured from a bottle a
lot of that sugar cane distillation on
the pineapple. In a short time
the delicate yellow fruit was as black
as my hat. There's your yellow fever,

eUNPowDER KILLS HAIL.
French Government Proves 1t Will
Do the Work.

French Government Proves II Will
Do the Work.
The dissipation Of hail storms by the
firing Of cannon Is declared to have
been proven in the great grape grow
ing region Of France, where hail has
heretofore destroyed millions Of dol
lars worth Of property.
A report just made to the French
government on the subject Is Of unu-
sual interest. Doubt is expressed IS
to the efficacy Of this method, but until
the French government shall assume
control Of the experiments and demon
strate the impotency Of the whole
thing, the work will continue.
During the fifteen years before the
use Of the cannon the losses from hall
in one department amounted to $685.
900. In the five years in which cannon
have been in use the total losses have
been only $159.412. The losses have
been easy to determine because the
French government indemnify poorer
grape growers from a public fund for
losses incurred by storms. The hg-
ures as to the losses are official.
The writer Of the last report de-
clares that confidence in the efficacy OF
the firing Is based on the fact that the
thunder and lightning ceased. the wind
abated and the clouds disappeared un-
ier the firing Of the cannon, mild
fall Of rain succeeding" These facts
are undeniable. In the year just gone
in one department twenty-eight storms
were fired into all with the same re-
suit, the cessation Of the thunder and
lightning, dispersion Of the clouds and
slight falls Of rain and snow after
ward.
Where no cannons were used hail
fell as usual and did immense damage.
1t is also stated that in one or two
communes where the firing was COM
menced late 1t was ineffective.
The French government sells the
powder to the agricultural societies at
cost and they furnish their own can
non. In the great Beaujolais wine
growing district cannon fairly bristle,
making old soldiers think Of their
fighting days. The losses in that dis
trict have been infinitesimal. In this
district the farmers fire only on the
boundaries of the large vineyards and
do little firing in the center OF the
fields. Large grape growers and wine
makers assert there Is not the slight
est doubt Of the efficacy Of the can
non, and are organizing to carry on
more extensive campaign the coming
year.

corporal, which was not as bad as I
thought. He was up, and one of them,
Q surgeon, was putting stitches In his
upper arm. Others were tying four
men together with rope. Their weap-
ons were lying in little heap near by.
One Of the British was saying that
Sir Charles Grayleigh had sent for

the front door, "see that you send II
back"
On the porch were the secretary and
the ladies-three Of them.
"Ciel! what is it?" one of them
whispered as I came out.
The post-lights were shining In their
faces, and lovlier I never saw than
those of the demoiselles. They
stepped lightly to the coach, and the
secretary asked If l would go in with
them. ..
mo, m'sieu',"was my answer. 'T SIT
by ze drivaire."
Come in here, you silly goose" said
one Of the ladies in French, recogniz-
ing my nationality.
Grand merci!" I said, taking my
seat by the driver; and then we were
off, with as lively team as ever
carried me, our lights flashing on the
tree trunks. We had been riding more
than two hours when We stopped for
water at a spring-tub under q hill.
They gave me a cup, and, for the
ladies, I brought each bumper OF the
cool, trickling flood.
'Ici, my tall woman" said one OF
them, presently, my boot Is united"
Her dainty foot came out of the
coach under rufles of silk. hesitated,
for l was not accustomed to that sort
of service.
"Lambine!" she exclaimed. Make
haste, will you?" her foot moving i'm
patiently.
My fingers got numb in the cold
air, and l must have been very awk-
ward. for presently she boxed my ears
and drew her foot away.
"Dieu!" said she. Tell him to
drive on" :.
I got to my seat quickly, confident
that nature had not intended me for
a lady's-maid. Awhile later we heard
the call of a picket far afield, but saw
no camp. A horseman-I thought him
a cavalry officer-passed US, flashing In
our faces the light of dark lantern,
but said nothing. 1t must have been

Arrests Pay Clerk, Takes Possession
of Cash Box and Escapes.
One of the most audacious and
sensational robberies in the annals OF
Natal crime took place on the Natal
government railway on Wednesday
night.
1t seems that at the end Of each
month a pay clerk Of the N. G. X. Is
despatched from the Maritzburg Of
fees with cash in his possession for
the payment of the salaries Of the
Staffs of the up-country stations. The
money Is inclosed in a steel cash
box Of special construction, and Sc
curely locked, the key being In the
keeping of the clerk. On his journey
up-country the clerk Is invariably
accompanied by an armed railway
policeman. On the night in question
he clerk was as usual despatched by
the 3.15 train for Maritzburg with
e94O in his possession for the pay
ment of the various railway servants
on stations between Estcourt and
Ladysmith.
On the train reaching the station
called Leigh, which Is not usually
stopping place. it was, on the request
of a man in the uniform Of SER
geant Of the Natal police, who appear
ed to have some urgent business on
hand, drawn up. The sergeant then
proceeded to the compartment occu-
pied by the pay clerk and his police
escort, and, to the formers amaze
ment, produced from his pocket
telegraph form, which meant the ar
rest of the pay clerk and the trans
ference Of the cash box to the N. +.
sergeant. The telegram, which looked
genuine, purported to be from the
inspector of police to Sergeant Nell
son, authorizing the latter to take
over the cash box and contents from
the escort, to place the clerk under
arrest, and have him conveyed to
Mooi River Station to await further
orders.
The escort, without the slightest
suspicion, did as he was told. while
the bogus and audacious sergeant
continued the journey up-country
with the cash box and its contents.
When the train drew up at Estcourt
the only trace Of the sergeant and the
money to be found was the empty
cash box. The thief had disappeared.
1t is supposed that he got on the
train as 1t was ascending slowly up
the Leigh embankment, and 1t Is pos
sible that confederates were awaiting
to assist him in the carrying out OF
the robbery.
When the news reached headquar-
ters, Trooper Weatherdon was imme-
diately arrested and preliminary
inquiry into the charge preferred
against him was held at Estcourt. a
reward of f1OO was offered for the
recovery Of the stolen money.-From
