Her Logical Reasoning.

In his "Comic School Tales H. J..
Barker gives some amusing answers
BY children technically known in
England as ''howlers." Here are
some OF them: \ teacher in a school
at Stepney, East London, was giving
her class an examination on the
Scriptural work OF the previous three
months. Among other questions the
ladv asked: with what weapon did
Samson slay the thousand Phllls-
rines:" And one girl, jurnbling her
I'D and new testament knowledge,
stood tip and replied: ''With the ak OF
APOSTLES" A woman teacher had
bee. explaining the story OF the cast
ing adrift of the infant Moses. "Now,
whv was it, do you think: that the
good mother daubed the little ark
boat so carefully with slime and
pitch?" "Oh, ma'am," said one little
5-year-old girl, ito make the baby
stick inside"

The origin and nature OF the Black
Death, which devastated Europe dur
eng the Middle Ages, has never been
clear It seems certain that the in
lection was brought by the ships OF
certain traders escaped from the
Crimea. where they had been attack
ed by TartarS at a town on the River
Don. During the attack the Tartars
were stricken with violent plague,
which caused great loss Of life among
them. In the hope OF giving the curse
to the people OF the besieged town,
hey threw bodies OF their dead into
the town. Their hopes were fulfilled,
ard the defenders were also attacked
by the plague. These traders took to
their ships and sailed to various ku-
ropean ports, Constantinople, Venice
and Genoa, leaving the Black Death
everywhere behind them. This Black
Death had certain striking features in
common with the Bombay plague of
India. \ careful search in the rec
ords OF Indian history has shown that
there had been an outbreak OF plague
in India just previous to the time Of
he Tartar siege and the introduction
of the Black Death into Europe.
These Tartars might very easily have
taken the disease from the people OF
India. II that is the true story Of the
train OF events, then the Black Death
of the Middle Ages was the modern
plague. a disease which we know to
be caused BY a certain specific Dac!l-
lus.
Efforts have been made to learn the
means BY which this disease is car
ried, and what Causes lead to an out
break. Certain facts bearing on these
points have lately come to light and
may lead to a correct knowledge OF
the means of plague transmission.
Rats have the disease and rat 1leas

contain quantities Of the plague ba~
cill; Ordinarily the rat fleas arc not
found on man. During epidenllcs OF
plague, however, these RAJ flcas arc
found in notable quantities On human
beings, and there is no evident reason
why they might not inoculate man by
their bites. Dorbtless, these things
have something to do with the spread
of plague, although enough is not
known to allow the whole chain OF
events to be made out.

CROPS GREATLY DAMAGED.
Mr.. E. D. Smith Says Heavy Rains
Have Almost Ruined Crops
in Texas.

In letter from Mr.. L. D. Smith,
published in the daily papers he says
that the rains have greatly damaged
the crops in Texas and tha: in conse-
quence production will be greatly re-
duced.
1T rains and no cotton planted III
Texas yet" Mr.. Smith says in let
ter from Tyler. Texas. The farmers
have stopped selling their spot cot
ton here. being convinced at las: that
Texas can't make a crop. no matter
what the others do.
From Galveston on the south OF
this place. wherever | have been,
farmers. bankcds and merchants un-
hesitating1y tell me that /. is the
worst prospect they ever saw Tor
Texas to make a cotton crop. I've
been in the state now ten days and
it has been raining every day. ind
one factor in the reduction matter
which I never had explained before.
Mr.. Woody OF Galveston, an old cot
ton man. and a close observer, told
me that one reason for Texas large
cotton acreage last year was mainly
due to the fact that in the winter pre-
yious the wheat and oat crop was
killed bv. cold, and the farmers put
the land in cotton. This was called
out By my saying that from Shreve-
port to Dallas and from Dallas to
Galveston Id seen thousands OF
acres in wheat and oats in which I
saw last years cotton stalks.
NO one can predict what the lex
as crop will be this year. With all
the. favorable conditions Of last sea-
son the state made 100000 bales less
than her largest crop. She has no
chance with present conditions OF
making within 100000 of last years
crop.
"While l am writing terrible
storm is raging just south of here.
Even where cotton was planted the
rains have so washed and packed the
land that replan:ing is necessary. Al
together the prospect for Texas is as
bad as it can be.
This is a grand country. The boil
weevil may prove a blessing to the
state at last This is hay, grain
and cattle country par excellence. |
think the prospects are that those
who have held their spot cotton (and
other) will be rewarded for their pa
tience and faith.
lie: me say in conclusion that I've
in no sense overdrawn the picture or
misstated the facts about the condi-
'tions here. I leave for South Caro-
lima NEXT week. Alter all. South Car
olinaiS the best sta:e in the union"

THE new Crop Board at the De-
partment of Agriculture turned in a
report for August calculated to make
the bears of Wall Street go into pre-
mature Information. 1t showed that
1905 promised to be record year in
American farming. The wheat crop
was estimated at 100, 731, 900 bushels
over loo, 900, 900 bushels more than last
years yield, and the largest in our
history, with the single exception Of
the crop Of 1901. The corn prospects
indicate the colossal yield Of 1893, 116,-
600 bushels, the greatest on record
without a single exception. We are
raising about as much corn this year
as all the wheat grown in the entire
world. Oats, barley, rye, buckwheat,
fax, tobacco potatoes. hay, and rice
are all in better condition than the
August average for ten years. Hay
alone, as may not always be remem-
bered, is worth over a billion dollars
in good year, ranking next to corn
and far ahead of wheat or cotton as
money-maker. The value Of this
years corn crop is estimated at S1,61S,-
100000, and that of the wheat crop at
$751;, 465, 900. The. seven great crops OF
corn, hay, wheat, cotton, oats, barley
and rye for 1906 will probably worth
not less than $4,20O, 900, 700, or nearly
five times the bonded national debt.
With such enormous resources in the
hands of the farmers Of every part of
the United States, the coming years
prosperity is assured,

LOOK OUT FOR HER.


In the London Mail appears a de-
scription of the perfect wife, written
by the late Max O'Reel. 1t COM
mends to the marrying man
The girl who shows so much affec-
tion for her father, who won't let him
60 out without seeing that his clothes
are immaculate, who, when at length
satisfied with papa's appearance, kisses
him before he goes off that girl will
make a model wife.
It depends, says the Brooklyn
Eagle Filial demonstrations are
not necessarily genuine. Some of
them are far from being characterized
by good faith. The girl may want a
new hat or money enough to pay for a
marcel wave, The kiss may be part
of a campaign for forty horsepower
machine or a box at the theatre you
never can tell AS a rule, however,
the father knows. Not that he resists
the delicate attentions, but generally
speaking, he is son. And, in due
course of time, he surrenders the wave,
or the hat, or the machine, as the case
may be, finding consolation in the
knowledge that also in due course Of
time, the marrying man" who takes
his daughter for better or for worse
will get it, so to speak, in the same
place, and get it good. This state
ment of a far from unusual case Is
couched in somewhat vulgar terms,
but to continue the vulgarity, it gets
there just the same. The father who
will fatty and sincerely contradict is
in the hopeless position Of one who
does not know that he knows. Finally,
he cannot be taught.

WATER COMPANY EST0PPED
From the diversion of Potable Water
from che state.

From the diversion of Potable Water
from the state.
Chancellor Bergen, in an opin-
ionifled TUESDAY, sustained the con-
stitutionality Of the Bachelor act of
last winter, prohibiting the diversion
OF potable waters Of New Jersey to
other States. The immediate purpose
of the act was to prevent the East
Jersey Water Company through the
Hudson Water Company from carrying
out a contract to furnish water for
Staten Island from the Passaic River
at Little Falls
The proceedings against the Hudson
Water Company were in the nature Of
an information filed by the Attorney
General. The Vice Chancellor advises
a decree enjoining the defendant from
diverting the water. He holds that
the constitutional question is without
weight, and that the State may pro-
tect its potable waters upon the broad
er principles Of public policy and the
protection of its citizens.
The Trenton True American in a
discussion of Vice. Chancellor Bergen's
opinion on water diversion, says:
The application of the same princi-
pie to the inflated claims OF the East
Jersey Water Company would cause
those claims to shriyel into nothing
ness for it would determine that the
Legislature had no power to dispose of
the waters necessary to the public
health, to a private corporation to be
again sold TO the people, There is
much more involved in Vice-C hancel-
lor Bergen's opinion than is apparent
at first glance.

TT is now evident that peace will
come that it will come from the CON
ference at Portsmouth ;that it will be
based on the principle Of uti possiden-

there will be no indemnity payment
by Russia to Japan. 1t will probably
be stated by Japan that she yields the
matter Of indemnity in Difference to
the. humanitarian instincts of the
world at large, which would be shocked
by war for money. AS a matter of
fact, Japan yields it because she can
not collect it by force of arms and be-
cause she cannot afford an indefinite
continuance of war. 1t is a plain mat
ter Of business and nothing more. ia
pan can well afford to be content with
the situation as it now exists namely,
with her interest in the East safe

AFTER learning of Count Lams-
dorff's declaration that Russia would
pay no indemnity under any name, the
Japanese ENJOYS at Portsmouth let it
be known that Japan had ordered 81
$50, 600 worth Of guns and armament
from the Krupps. The general feeling
in Portsmouth is exceedingly pessinn-
isticy but there is at the same time, a
belief that the plen5potentiaries may
be bluffing." A cting Secretary
Barnes said that the President was
very much in doubt as to a successful
outcome Of the peace conference the
dispatch of Ambassador Meyer from
st. Petersburg is understood to have
been distinctly pessimistic.
