Darwin held that when we see or
fancy that we are being criticised or
closely observed our whole attention
becomes concentrated upon our coun-
tenance. Then, just as an immediate
effect may be produced upon the saliva
by thinking of lemon, our face red
dens in quick response, it's veins relax
and are filled with arterial blood. A
later theory is that of M. Melinard,
which is at least original Blushing,
he says, is due simply to confusion. We
redden because we feel that people
are finding out something which we
wish to hide. He supports his theory
by showing that when the fear of being
unmasked is removed there is no
blushing. A child having nothing to
hide does not blush. Lovers may
blush when they meet so long as they

CIGAR Tastes peterioratina

TASTES of smokers have changed
much in the last few years." said a
tobacco retailer recently. He had just
succeeded in finding a cigar for a fas-
tidious smoker.
1--WE have few of the old Havana
cigar smokers left. Now, that man
who mauled over the contents of half
a dozen boxes said he wanted an i'm
ported cigar. He ended by taking a
cigar made in this city, and he de-
clared that it was one of the best he
had ever tasted.
Il don't know how to account for
the change, but it is a fact that men
who years ago would take nothing
but a cigar made of pure Havana
tobacco nowadays want cigars that
are doctored and faxed. Sometimes I
think the cigarette habit is responsible
for it. Cigarettes are being smoked
more than they ever were, and they
have created a peculiar taste among
smokers.
Then, so many cigars are doctored
These create an appetite which, when
once acquired, spoils all other tastes
Some years ago men used to ask
for Havana cigars and would take
nothing else. They could tell a good
cigar the moment they saw one, and
none of these domestic things could
be palmed off on them. New York

.IBERG TRADED
FOR SCHLAFLEY
LOHMAN AND MCREEDIE Ex-
CHANGE SHOES
Manager Of the Browns Swaps Phil
Nadeau for Player Who
Made Good in the
South
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.--A big
baseball deal was consummated yes
terday when Pete Lohman and Judge
McCreedie heated the wires for several
hours and finally wound up by swap
ping stars. When the deal had been
sent through Lohman was possessed of
Pitcher Ham Iberg and McCreedie had
Schlafiey safely under his wing.
Pete has been trying to do some
thing with Schlafley for many weeks
past, but could not make satisfactory
deal. Larry was one of the best sec
ond basemen in the league last year
and Lohman wanted him for another
season, but Schlafley vowed he would
not play ball with the Commuters
Since learning of his second baseman's
decision Uncle Peter has been looking
around for likely man for whom he
could swap the infelder.
The fans will be surprised to see
Ham Iberg in an Oakland uniform.
Ham was not altogether satisfied with
his berth on the Portland team last
year and he will gladly welcome the
change. Pete and Ham were always
the best of friends and there is no rea-
son why the slow-bal pitcher will not
make good with the Commuters.
Just before closing the Schlafey-
Iberg deal McCreedie managed to trade
off another of his stars. After a deal
Of dickering with the management of
the New Orleans team McCreedie
finally secured Artz, the star shortstop
for Phil Nadeau. Just what the finan-
cial arrangement was could not be
learned, but it is understood McCreedie
had to give a little piece of side money
before he landed the southerner.
Nadeau did not play his game at all
while with the Brownies last season
and McCreedie did not want to take
another chance with the hitting
little Frenchman if he could possibly
avoid it. The New Orleans team was
in search of a husky outfielder and
when McCreedie heard this he imme-
diately opened negotiations with the
southern magnates and finally accom-
plished his purpose.
Artz led the shortstops of the South
ern league last season, playing a great
fielding game. He also hit the ball
some, finishing with a batting average
of .27S. If he can sustain this gait IL,
Portland he won't experience any
trouble in making good from the jump.

ATHLETIC ROSE
IS CRITICIZED
SHOT PUTTER WILL NOT BE
WARMLY GREETED
Will Be More Honored in Defeat
Than in Victory for His Re-
cent Action-Barred From
College Athletics
BY Associated Press

by AsSOClaNcu ET-aA
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. is.
The Daily Palo Alto, the representa-
tive Stanford newspaper, takes a
whack at Ralph Rose, the University
of Michigan athlete who has recently
been barred from further participation
in college athletics. In an editorial
this evening the college editor has the
following to say regarding the fate of
the famous eastern shot-putter:
"It is good news that Ralph Rose
has been dropped out of college ath-
letics. Men of the type of Rose may
win field days, but they hurt the spirit
of amateur sport and do their univer-
sity more harm than good. Rose,
young Californian of great athletic
ability, was attracted to Michigan in
the manner that many other fine ath-
letes have been drawn to that institu-
tion. He has taken part in many
track meets. He has been extensively
written up in newspapers and maga-
zines as an athletic marvel and as the
only physically perfect man. Rose, an
uncultured country lad, grew bigger
than his college, The people of the
United States have taken notice and
they have asked, What is this young
man in college for? A college man
has been compelled to admit that Rose,
to all appearances, is in college for
athletics only. The action of the
Michigan board of control will tend
not only to check the growing idea that
colleges are subservient to athletes,
but it will in a measure restore the re-
spect of collegians themselves for
Michigans athletics, which have suf-
fered greatly in prestige during the
past few years because of the practice
of drawing star athletes from distant
parts of the country by means which
have been questioned Michigan may
lose the athletic championship of the
middle west because of the elimination
of Rose, but she will be more honored
in defeat than in victory"

TO CRUSH THE BOIL WEEVlL
New Method of Attacking the Dreaded
Nuisance

Because of the great extent of the
ravages Of the cotton boil weevil and
the rapidly extending area of it's opera
tions, considerable attention has been
lately directed toward the eXtermina-
ton of that persevering pest. There
are some who contend that the prom
ises of the agricultural department
made on behalf of the Guatemala ant,
by which it is hoped to combat the
weevil, will not be materialized for
many reasons, and all kinds of sug-
gestions are being made with the hope
of finding some scheme for ridding the
country of the scourge of the cotton
plantation. One individual claims the
only effective way is to purge the
fields regularly each year by fire, which
he says destroys the eggs and effect
ually prevents their propagation, thus
keeping down the number of worms to
the minimum.
Texas inventor now comes to the
front with a machine with which he
hopes to crush out the national nui-
sance, and in explanation OF his scheme
he has the following to say:
1.-THE weevil commences it's ravages
upon the cotton plants by depositing
it's eggs in the cotton squares or bolls
The squares and young bolls drop from
the cotton and collect in the lowest
part of the surface between the rows of
the plants, and from these bolls full
grown weevils in great abundance will
be produced in about seventeen days
and attack and destroy the cotton.
ITO prevent the Matching of the Vice.
vii, my invention is directed to the pro-
duction of means for destroying their
eggs and the weevil by crushing them
where they lie upon the ground. For
this purpose i have produced sheet iron
crushers, preferably connected together
in pairs, and drawn straddling the row
of plants, each crusher of convex form,
shaped like shovel and weighted by
carrying the driver, whose seat is
mounted directly upon it. Each crusheT
is drawn between the rows and will
grind the eggs and weevils to such an
extent as to reduce the quantity of the
weeVils Matched to a comparatively
small number. The crushers are at
tached to any suitable wheeled frame
drawn by pair of horses.
LAS the killing of the weevil eggs is
by crushing them, the crushers are
worked between the rows at intervals
commencing about the time the weevils
begin to lay their eggs and repeating
the operation several times about every
eight or ten days, it being understood
that the ravages of the weevil com.

The Neoro Physician

From the four southern medical
schools for negroes over 1900 students
have taken their degrees and probably
1000 of these are now in the practice Of
this profession. These physicians have
chance for great usefulness and
power. In no calling is there more
scope for the best leadership i'm reform
and true social progress. A people
struggling UP from such conditions as
have enveloped the negroes hitherto,
first in Africa and then in America,
needs above all things to be taught
the simple laws of life-life's physical
laws as underlying each religious duty
and every moral obligation. A treat
ment is wanted that will root out VOC
dooism, still emotional excesses, lay a
strong hand on beastly ferocities. en-
force cleanly habits and make good
homes. Science must slay superstition.
The man of science is the physician.
Negro physicians in their quiet, un-
ostentatious way are nobly undertaking
this service for their people. The evi-
dences of it may seen in all the larger
cities. They are doing more than to
follow the routine of lucrative prac-
tice; they are helping to organize as
sociations for improved sanitation and
social betterment; they are building up
with patient toll, in a score of cities,
modest hospitals and nurse schools for
their people, and they are giving the
vigor of clear-sighted intelligence to
churches. schools clubs and every sort
of movement for popular uplift.-Ex-

desks. Wishing to understand the
reason, he looked around for the sex

man in the rear of the church. APP
preaching him, Dr. Cathell said:
MY man, L am an American clergy
man and have found much of interest
in these Canadian churches. But there
is something here that do not under
