HIS FIRST WATERSPoUT.
droen Sailor Boy Wanted to See One, and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

A. waterspout Is one of the first things a green sailor boy wants to see. He has read about it as one of the wonders of the sea, and it rouses his keenest curi- osity. He gets the old sailors to promise to call him when one is sighted. They promise, winllng steaitnily at each otA- CT, relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical wa- ters, and the boy is told that a water. spout may come along almost at any time.
 One night he Is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up, young feller; there's a waterspout on the starboard bow bearing right down on us"
 The boy .hastens up the companions way without waiting to dress. and as he darts out on decK ne IS thrown down by a mass of water descending on him liko q wet mountain. He struggles to his feet, gasping, sputtering:
 'Wa-a-s that-t wa-a-a-ter spout?"
 The sailors are around him roaring. Then he looks up above the companions way and sees an empty hogshead. Having seen and felt the waterspout, he descends to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns in. Next time waterspouts in great num- bers may be reported on both bows, but he will have no particular desire to ob- Serve them.

CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form, ing Serpent-Like Mass
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny wormlike creature which is found iA the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early In August gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for change of conditions. When setting out on this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter, and form huge scr. pentlike mass, often reaching a length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria is only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch fin length, with no appreciable breadth whatever the num- Der required to form continuous line of the size above mentioned is incal- culable.
 Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as a stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours, never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite In short time. When the peasant meets one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If 1t passes over 1t 1t is good omen.

The Leopard of the Shows.

When we look at the leopards in a menagerie our minds instinctively turn to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor rid lands of the equator. But there are leopards that love the snow, and never willingly descend below the levels where snowstorms occur in summer as well as in winter. The New York Zoo logical park possesses, at present, a beautiful specimen of the snow leop- ard" whose home is among the lofty mountains about Thibet. Thousands Of tanned skins of the snow leopard are carried to Shanghai for sale, but the iiv- ing animal is rarely seen away from his cool mountain home.-Youth's 8 Compapr lon

Prevent
 As We'll As Cure Headache

If subject to headaches take Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills when you feel the first indication of an attack, and you will find that they rarely ever fail to stop further progress.
 Pain weakens the nerves, and the longer you suffer, the more frequent will be the attacks.
 On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved of this weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, nor phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed, and will have no other effect, except to drive out the pain.
 "Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are all any one in need of a remedy for head ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind My health is not very good, and am subject to frequent attacks of severe headache. but since I began taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills I do not suffer from that trouble as I used to- minutes, and if taken promptly on the approach of headache will prevent an attack from coming on. Pain Pills prevent, as well as cure"

The following is latest report
of New Orleans Board of Health
Life Period of Stegomyla.

Prof. Geo. E. Boyer, of Tulane
University, chair of Biology,
gives the following interesting
facts in the New Orleans Harle-
quin as to the life period of the
yellow fever mosquito:
LFE-PERIOD.
First-the length of life of this
mosquito. Let it be borne to mind
that. in this discussion, allusiOn is
made to the female only. The male
is incompetent to pierce the skin by
reason of the anatomical difference
of structure of its proboscis or mouth
parts. 1t lives on free plant juice.
The female lives from its time of
birth to the moment that her last egg
has been deposited in the water,
which in the natural state, should be
accomplished in about a weeks time;
provided that, during that time, fer
tilization and a meal of blood has
been furnished. If these two factors
are missing, the length of life may be
extended, al least as experimentally
proven during the summer) to sixty
flour days or more If, now, a female.
after being fertilized, obtains a meal
of blood from a yellow fever sufferer,
she will not be able to lay her eggs
before a period of twelve days or
more. She becomes ill: and not until
| after recovery in twelve or more days,
is she able to lay her eggs. Ill as
she was and starving as she is. she
seeks her natural food, to mature the
unlaid eggs. 1t is then that, biting a
nOn-immune, she transmits the disease.

CIRCULAR ISSUED.
Postoffice Department to Handle
5000 Copies.

Washington, August 3.-The
Public Health and Marine Hos
pital service has issued a circu-
lar on the prevention of the vel
low fever. The directions given
look to the suppression of the
mosquito as the only means of
preventing it's spread.
mo mosquitoes, no yellow fe-
ver," is the motto announced in
big black letters at the top of the
circular.
The document continues as
follows:
'+The infection of yellow fever
is carried by mosquitoes, and by
no other means is the infection
spread.
Persons take the disease by
being bitten by mosquitoes that
have already bitten a yellow fe-
YER patient.
THE mosquitoes, to become
infected, must bite q yellow fever
patient during the first three
days of his attack. These first
three days, therefore, are the
most important for preventing
the access of mosquitoes to a fe-
yer patient.
1T is often difficult to decide
during the first three days
whether a patient has yellow fe-
YER; hence the necessity in
threatened communities of plac-
ing a mosquito bar Immediately
around every patient who has a
fever of any kind, and for three
days at least"
The necessity of drainage and
screening is dwelt upon with
much emphasis.
The POstoffice Department is
sending $1,000 copies of the cir.
culars to p0st.Omces in the fol.
lowing States:
Louisiana, Texas. Mississippi,
Tennessee, Alabama. Florida and
Arkansas. The circulars are
sent out in bundles of fifteen OF
twenty-five, for distribution in
the various towns by the local
boards of health. They will be
posted in conspicuous places.

SHAW STANDING PAT
SECRETARY OF TREASURY IL
Bells AMERICAN INGENUITY
High Prices Have Reduced Wages by
Comparison With Profits Of Capt.
tal-Cost Of Living Must Be Re-
duced by Revising Tariff

The enormous overcapitalization OF
the trusts and combines renders 1t
necessary for them to continue to ex-
act high prices for their products or
be unable to pay dividends on their
fictitious capital. The protection the
tariff gives them makes the -ligh
prices possible, as it prevents compe-
tition from abroad, so that the trusts
have monopoly of the home market.
SheItering the Trusts
To make the American people pay
these high prices the tariff must be
preserved intact, not to produce reve-
nue. for the government, but to shell
ter the trusts. Secretary Shaw is
defending this policy of trust protec-
ton and high prices on the ground
that cheap products of labor mean
cheap labor" which is a new theory
in economics that the protectionists
have invented to hold workingmen to
the support of the republican party in
