The Microbe Of Old Ace.

! In a lecture on "Old Age," deliv-
cred in Paris recently by DR.. Mench-
nikoff, the speaker expressed the
opinion that sensility was produced
by certain physiological states which
cause the benefcent species of mi
crobes called ''macrophages" to in
crease too rapidly. Then in their turn
they become injurious.
r These parasites flourish in the
large intestine, which mammals pos
sess, whereas in birds it is almost
entirely lacking. The result was
shown in the person of the doctors

According to a report received by
the state department from the Ameri-,,
can legation at Seoul. Korea, the Ko-
rean gold mines controlled by the
Oriental Consolidated Mining Com
pany are prospering wonderfully, in
spite of their being in the center of
the war zone. "xt' II ".:z :
A few weeks ago j.. Sloat Fassett
and H. D. Perkins of New York, and
Leigh Hunt, formerly of Portland,
Ore, applied to the United States
government for. protection for their
property and: employees in Korea. In
answer to the representations made
by the state department the govern
ment was assured by both belliger-
ents that the property was safe from
molestation. , +. -.
The report received from the
American legation gives some figures
from the annual report of the Orien-
tai company. It shows that the COM
pany controls 500 square miles of rich
territory in northwest Korea under
concession obtained from the emperor
by Leigh Hunt. They are operating
eight mines, besides number of tri-
butary mines worked by Koreans.
The total operating profit for 1908
was $762,315.s4.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay's Suit.

They are getting up cloth suits in a
very picturesque way. One lovely suit
worn by Mrs. Clarence Mackay is a
three piece suit in lustrous black
cloth. The skirt is a round length
with ruff1es of taffeta slightly gradual

The waist consists of an Elton cut
very low in the neck and finished
with a deal of nice hand embroidery
The sleeves are half length And they
are cut pointed and finished with en-
broidery.
Underneath this is worn a shirt
waist of gray crepe de chine, trimmed
with pipings of gray chiffon and pip
ings of black and white. This gown
is pretty as it can he and by no means
either difficult or extravagant.

Puffs Are the Prevailing Fancy.

One might reasonably have fore
seen that the shirrings which have
been used SO lavishly upoon all the
frocks this summer would inevitably
run into puffs as the season advanced.
In Paris the fancy for puffs in every
thing is running riot; and it must be
confessed that while it takes master
hand to manage them the effect is
rarely becoming except to very slen-
der figures and then only when the
wearer is of gracious height.

Oven Should Be Scrubbed.

Very few of the tidiest housekeep-
ers recognize the necessity of having
the oven washed out. Especially after
lamb, poultry or fish has been baked,
the walls and floor of the oven should
be scrubbed carefully with stiff
brush and strong soapsuds, to which a
small quantity of washing soda has
been added. Pies, cakes and biscuits
sometimes have an unaccountable
greasy odor due to lack of this pre-
caution.

TO Utilize Spare Corners.


The woman whose family has a pen
chant for mushrooms will find that it
is an easy matter to raise them her
self and that for ve1, little money
outlay. If she has spare corner in a
healthful cellar or shed, let her place
there some pals containing manure
mixed with sprinkle of cooking salt
and little loan. She should procure
from a reliable source some bricks of
spawn, and after breaking these into
cubic inches press the pieces well into
the mold, being careful to water them
every day or two. The result will be
that, in less than two months, she
will have fair growth of mushrooms
for an original cost of perhaps ten
cents.

DESERVED CONTEMPT

One u the biggest entries the credit OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the minds OF Southern men IS
his treatment OF the cowardly ruffain, Miles This
man, who SO long made ridiculous the high military
position which he accidentally held is at last rated
at his true worth by the whole nation and not even
his long career OF incompetence and absurdity has
done much to show him in his proper coors as
the controversy with the venerable widow OF Mr.
Davis.
In response to the historically accepted charges
OF his cruelty the President OF the Confederacv
while Mr.. Davis a helpless prisoner in chains,
Miles claimed TO possess grateful letters from Mrs
Davis thanking him for his kindness to her husband
and begging its continuance
Mrs. Davis demanded that such letters if pos
sessed should be reproduced sayn gthat the unsup-
ported assertion OF Miles was the only evidence OF
their existence. After long hesitation, public and
newspaper opinion forced Miles to some action and
he published short from the lady, thanking
him for replies to her inquiries after her husband
and asking him to Mr. Davis kindly This note
it has been shown, was written on the very day OF
Mr.. Davis incarceration aud before the ironing and
other inhumanities had been inflicted on the pris-

HINTS FOR THE BUSINESS LEAGUE

Now that the bad weather IS the Business
League OF the city should get down to work again
and see if it cannot eclipse its good work of the
past year. The paving OF the city, the increased
railroad mileage, the starting Of many enter
prise, the reduction certain freight rates, are
all traceable to the work of this organization.
This year the energies Of the organization should
be exerted in the bringing or promoting OF some
large manufacturing enterprise that will convert
native products cotton and wood into some
kind OF manufactured article. Such an enterprise
will prove a paying investment both to the promo
and the city It has long since been realized
that for Greenve to grow big city ii must
depend upon something else besides cotton Fac
tories are doubt the solution for they create
both capital and popalation and these city

THE EXTENT OF THE FIRE

1t IS estimated by the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad officials, at 1 o'clock
this morning, that the total loss from
fire would aggregate between $4,000,
600 and 100000 1t was almost
impossible to make an accurate list
of the losses last night, amid the con-
fusion.
This figure makes no attempt to
cover the enormous loss in traffic.
1t was estimated that 1000 cars of
grain alone were last night in transit
to this port No figure can possibly
be placed on what this loss in future
traffic will reach.
Illinois Central officials were un-
able to make any estimates on insur-
ance. The Company carries its own
insurance to large degree, but it had
some outside policies on the Stuyves-
ant Dock terminals.
Blanket insurance was being carried
on most of the cargo in transit.
The following was compiled after
midnight:
Elevator D, leased to Harris, Scot
ton & Co, grain operators, contain
ing over 100000 bushels OF corn.
Elevator E, owned by the Illinois
Contra | Railroad, containing about
325, 1000 bushels of grain.
