AnOLnef ueclueQ Improvement was
noticeable in the yellow fever situa-
ton yesterday. After the announce
ment the day previous OF four new
cases, it was expected by some that
a similar number or possibly an in
crease would be announced last night,
but such was not the case.
No new eases and no deaths. with
one patient discharged from treatmcn
was the official report given out last
night at the headquarters of the
Stae Board Of Health. which leaves
only eight patients under treatment.
all Of whom are recovering.
The developments Of the day gave
the physicians renewed confidence.
but. although the situation was
brighter, this did not cause DIR. Porter
and his corps of ASSISTANTS 70 halt I'm
their work. On the other hand they
are waging a relentless war against
the mosquito, and impressing upon all
the necessity Of having their premises
in a thoroughly sanitary condition. also
to screen and fumigate their rest
dences.
Work Is Showing.
DR.. Porter in talking with a Journal
reporter last night, said:
Il am not discouraged In the least,
and the work we have done IS begin
ming 10 show We have endeavored
to conduct the fight against yellow
fever upon sensible and scientific
principles, and TO cases are declared
until a thorough investigation IS
made. Where the case is of a doubt-
ful nature we 5end a specimen of the
blood of the patient 20 the laboratory
at Jacksonville, and receive a tele.
graphic report upon the same. Dur
ing this time. however, we take every
possible precautiOn. and have the resi-
dence screened and fumigated We
are able to do all this on account Of
the small number Of cases that have
developed but of course II we had an
epidemic it would be impossible 20
do so. From reports 1 have received
the work is going ahead nicely. and
the city is being placed in good cOndl-
ton.

Merits Of The Mule.

The average mule sells for so per
head more than horses.
There has never been what would be
called an overproduction of mules,
while the maKet has often been un-
able to fully supply the trade.
The mule natures more quickly
than the horse, and can be placed on
the market from one to two years
sooner than the average horse this
means large profit to the producers
returns from the investment.
The grain ration for the mule is less
than that required for the horse; this
is quite an item to be considered with
the present nigh prices of grain.
We have had large export trade
for mules besides their use IN the
southern plantations. Large numbers
will be us d each year in the construc-
tion of the Panama canal, and good
prices may be expected for some years
to come Live Stock Journal.

Dry Weather Plants.

IN damp regions the roots of peren-
NAL plants sink deeply and sustain a
great growth above ground. In mod
crately dry climate plants develop
bulky roots and store up supplies which
outlast the summer drought, or the
plants themselves, as in the case of the
cactuses, become fleshy reservoirs Of
water and food. In the extreme desert
neither of these resources is available,
and perennial herbs are consequently
few Only stunted shrubs and hardy
ANIMALS are able to exist at all. the

toughness of texture, the latter flour

dent in the municipality that they have
arrived and put themselves and their

social attention whatever. Intending
visitors to that country need to be
equipped with this knowledge of the
customs prevailing there. The point Of

Cigar Boxes Of spanish Cedar.

"The best cigar box is made of Span.
ish CEDAR" said tobacconist. Gall our
imported cigars come in Spanish cedar
boxes. Look here"
He opened a box of beautiful, costly
cigars, and the odor diffused through
the shop was indescribably pleasant,
an odor half of tobacco, half, as 1t
seemed, of spices.
That spicy smell-do you notice it?'
said the dealer "Well, that is the smell
of the Spanish cedar. 1t communicates
itself to the cigars, and so delicate and
subtle is it that it actually improves
their flavor.
"If we put up our goods in chestnut
or walnut or pine boxes the flavor of
the wood impregnating the tobacco,
would ruin the cigars entirely; hence
moderately good cigars are put in box
that is quite odorless, and the best
cigars are put up in this aromatic and
costly box. "-Philadelphia Bulletin.

law no rebate will be received by. the

The Crafty Jack Rabbit.

When the settler on the western
prairie sees a jack rabbit for the first
time'he has an idea that he can just
skip out and lay hands on the creature
without any trouble but that is where
the man gets fooled. The rabbit is
awkward. appears to be lame in every
joint, holds up one foot as though it
panied him and altogether creates the
belief that he is a dilapidated wreck
of an ungainly, animate thing. The
settler is surprised that he cannot
grab" him. The settlers dog also is
confident that he can quickly make an
end of the rabbit. He bristles, runs
leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles it again, triples that,
quadruples the whole, when, 10, the
rabbit disappears. There is some fly
ing grass, vanishing streak of light.
a twinkling of two prodded feet eX-
tended rearward and he is gone. The
dog sits on his launches and concludes
that he did not see Il rabbit at all.

Taxation And Representation.

of the state the right to vote on all
questions of local tax alton. A bill is
now pending which would give the
same right to women in cities of the
third class. The ST. Louis Post Dis

Crannell made IAN effective srgu-

will be a sensation in the world of
politics and letters. An effective argu-
ment against the principle that tax

yet been made. In the days of '76 all
King Georges supporters in the Brit

job, and they were never abe to frame
anything that could stand before the
logic of old Lord North. All the tori es

The Professors Letters.

A professor in German school In
order to teach his pupils letter writing
recently conceived the happy idea OF
having them compose business letters
which were inclosed in envelopes and
correctly addressed to various mer-
chants in the town. In the evening
Herr Professor, having carried the
varied epistles home for correction, left
them on his table and, as was his Gus
tom, hied himself to the cafe. It hap
pened that he had a careful domestic,
who, seeing all the letters properly ad-
dressed, at once concluded that her
master had forgotten to mail them, and
out of the goodness of her heart she
stamped them and hurried TO the post.
The stupefaction Of the village mer-
chants upon opening their mail the fol
lowing morning may be imagined, and
the amusing part of the incident is that
many of the letters, which contained
lengthy orders for goods, were taken
seriously and the orders promptly ILL
