lief has been the cause of much can- tankerous litigation, and 1t has ever resulted in the ruling that a man has a right to defend himself in a reasonable manner if he Is attacked, whatever may be his geographical position. and the incidental contiguity of his home "cuts no ice" in the case.
 Doctors agree that the public Is wrong In the popular conception that burglars sometimes chloroform the in mates of a house before committing a robbery. The usual story Is that the anaesthetic was squirtej into the sleep ing room through keyholes. A Kansas City surgeon who has had occasion to administer chloroform or ether 500 times says that chloroform adminis- tered in this maner would put quietus on the burglar as we'll as the inmates of a house. Physicians have tried many times to administer chloroform to sleeping persons. and have met wiln very poor results. The first effect of an anaesthetic is not to Hull to insen- sibility, but to arouse all the mental and physical vigor of the person to whom 1t is given.
 The public has great confidence in the magic No. 3, and without any req sonable basis for the belief. It Is com monly believed that if a drowning person sinks for the third time he is gone for good and all. The facts con- tradict this. Many persons die on the first sinking. and If one has the

 The inspector is talking superficially about a sociological condition which within the next decade may prove of profound importance to this country. These Italians of whom he complains arc simply following out the system under which for centuries they and their forebears have lived. The Italian in this country knows that the people he has to deal with are also Italians. and the fact that they are making money here does not change their view of human relations, their contempt for law, or the practice of personal ven geance which prevails in the mother. land.

 Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know some thing about your great medicine and aside from my own family experi- ence, I have, in my years of practice, found Csstoris . popular and efli- cient remedy in almost every home."
 Dr. Howard James, of New York City, says: "Tt is with great pleasure that l dssirs to testify to the medici- nal virtue of your Castoria. I have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice"

 Then there Is the third congestive chill, commonly believed to be fatal Most people who dle from this cause succumb to the first or second attack. If a man succeeds in weathering two of them the odds are in favor of his coming out victor in the third. AL most every community possesses citi- zen who boasts the fact that he has silver plate in his skull. Surgeons say that very few attempts were ever made at such an operation, and all of them were failures. There does not exist a man who has a silver plate in his skull. although many men honestly believe that they are carrying this species of paraphernalia in their craniums. The bone of the skull cannot live and be healthy in the presence of a foreign body. It is said by surgeons to be physical impossibility, but this serves in no way to overcome the common and erroneous belief.

 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich. says: T prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are limitations in the field, but I always sec, that my patients get Fletcher's."
 Dr. Charming Fl. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character arc obnoxious and there fore difficult of administration.

POPULAR BELIEFS.
Ignorance ms to the Law in Everyday
 Occurrences.

Kansas City Journal.
 It Is an American prediction to be- lieve the outre and freakish stories that are based solely on hearsay testimony of the cheerful lies that are common place matters of fact list of the cheerful lies that the commonly be- lieved would fill a volume. only few of them are given below.
 How often have you been inflicted with the story of the man who was overpaid when cashing a check at the bank. and the cashier telling him that no mistakes would be corrected after the customer left the window? Accord ing to the story. the cashier laid down the mandate before he knew the mis- take was in his favor. It makes an ex- cellent yarn, but dlligent search dis closes that 1t never had any foundation in fact. Banks have no such rule. If a customer is underpaid or overpaid the mistake will appear when the balance is struck at the end of the days busi- ness, and the error will be cheerfully rectihed. But the majority of the pub lie believes the fictitious story of how the fellow got the best of the bank" simply because it is a good story and they like to believe 1t.
 Probably the most common error on the part of the public Is the belief that when dead body is found no one has a right to touch or move the remains until the coroner comes" There never was any such law, is not now and prob ably never will be- The citizen who is of an inquiring turn of mind has a per- feet right to examine dead bodies he runs across in the course of his travels to move the. remains and even search the pockets of the deceased. provided of course, that his motives are honest That is all that is necessary.
 There Is also a prevalent belief that a note signed or contract entered into on Sunday is void and that either party can plead the fact of the sacred day to get out of bad baSgain. This is not true If a man enters into a contract or signs a note on Sunday he Is legally bound, and can have no de- fences that he would not have if the transaction had occurred in the middle of the week.

Dr.W L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark, says: "As a prsctioiog physician I use Castoria and like it very much."
 Dr. W. T. Seelsy, of Amity, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria for several years in my practice and have found it Q safe and reliable remedy"
 Dr. Raymond N. Evarts, of Santa Ynes, Cal, says: "After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly te have an ig- norant druggist substitute some. thing else, especially to the patients disadvantage, as in this case. I en- close herewith the wrapper of the imitation"
 Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo-, says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepare tions, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Cas- toria in my practice because I have found it to be . thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Casto- ria"

HAVE MANY COUNTIES.
Georgia Has Added to Her List--Texas
 Still n Rec0rd- Breaker.

StiAh 0 HecOr0~nkSuAeks
 The Georgia Legislature. which re-. gently adjourned after a long session. made a further addition to the number of counties in the Cracker State. bring ing up the whole number from ls7 to 145.
 New York. with it's great population. is able to get along with sixty-one counties. while California, more than double the size of Georgia. gets along with hfty-seven.
 What political necessity there can be for 145 independent counties in 0eOr- gia. each with a separate government. organization and expense, Is a problem. but perhaps the reason Is the same which has added to the number of counties in Texas until there are now 246. In one of them at the Presiden- tial election of last year only 22 votes were cast. in another 120, In anothef 1S0, and in a fourth. 60. The propen- sity to create counties in the South and Southwest has always been marked There are 76 counties in Mississippis 119 in Kentucky. 75 In Arkansas. AS in Florida and ss in Tennessee.

Harrlman'. Great Land Holdings.

great deal has been said about the vast estates that the RockefelIers, Van derbilts and other money kings are building up in the country around New York But of one of the greatest American land holders little has come to public knowledge. Riding out along the Erie Railroad. after you pass the New York State line, practically all the valley and mountain that you can see on either hand for long distance be- longs to E. H. Hartman.
 He has been gathering in farms and wild timberland in that section for years. sometimes purchasing himself, sometimes through agents, for your small farmer knows his book very well when he learns that a millionaire has brought a parcel of land in his neigh know that he will not fence in this enormous tract and keep 1t for a game preserve. fond as he is of life in the wild.
 He Is simply taking a long look ahead. As the Astors foresaw the fu- ture of Manhattan. he realizes that the day Is not far off when all this up- land within easy reach of New York will be thickly peopled. They say that this project Is as close to his heart as his railroad systems. and he devotes great deal of time to it. in the Harri- man way, which is a thoroughly practi- cal one. Understanding that the prime requisite is a system of good roads, he has got himself made a highway com missioner The result Is that all through the tract, where ten or fifteen years ago there was nothing but COW paths and lumber roads, one can now drive an automobile over the finest ironsd highways in the country.

Next. A Farm Hands, Union.

There is fear and trembling among the truck farmers and gentlemen farm CTS whose purses have bottoms, in the neizhborhood of New York over the announcement now made that labor leaders have begun to organize a farm hands union. During the past few years there has been a stupendous outgoing from New York city of peo- ple who. appalled, by the cost of Iiv- ing in town and craving the benefit of country air for their families. have taken up small places to cultivate in a small way.
 Not so long ago it was quite possible to get an all-round man to care for horse, COW and pig, work the garden. tend to the furnace. drive, chop the wood and sift the ashes for SIS a month For a very little more than that a man would cultivate a field or two, from which the product made a considerable saving in feed and food bills, and lend with all. a genuine rural flavor to life

An American Florence Nightingale.

or Sister AlphonSa Latnrop, dauSnter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. one hears but seldom. Now and then in a newspaper letter she asks small assistance for some charity of which the world knows nothing. The request Is always couch ed in the most modest words. This wo- man seems to have no idea of the beau tifully self-sacrificing nature of her life and her work. But one day, some person who knows will publish the story of 1t. and her name. wherever a heart beats in sympathy with human suffering. will be linked with that of Florence Nightingale.
 In the depths of the East Side, where people are packed like anchovies, she lived for a long time, almost forgotten by the world, caring for the slck-and they were dirty sick-teaching the ig- norant and bringing light into sordid homes. Her latest call for help Is from the Cancer Hospital at Rosary Hill Home, in Westchester County. where thirty wretched beings. whom most people would shudder to look at, re- ceive the tenderest ministrations at her hands.
 This Is a charity that is pure charity and involves. far more than most good deeds that women do, the utter sacri- flee of self. In climbing a San Juan Hill there was glory, and the excite ment of conflict where victory Is the prize. Here there is nothing of the sort. It Is the patient, continuous, ev- eryday devotion of ones self to a hope less cause. whose only reward lies iR the consciousness that the way to a narrowing death has been made easier for those whose only claim upon her Is that they were made In the image of their neighbor.
 In an age of money hunger and seelf- seeking, life like this is a flower Of rarity.

But of late the handwriting has been very plain upon the wall.
 Most of this help has necessarily been engaged through the city agencies, which have inflated prices rapidly. The farm hand of yesterday is the coach man and gardener" of today. Of the science of gardening he usually knows nothing and his horsemanship consists in the ability to curry Dobbin and hand him his oats. But he will ask you $45 a month with a perfectly straight face. and hundreds of suburban agricultur- ists. looking back upon the discomforts of city life. surrender as one would to a road agent.
 What will happen when the unions take up the cause of this already greedy incompetent is an unpleasant thing for the suburbanite to contemplate. ...

NEW YORK DOINGS
CAN'T EVEN PAY NEW WORKERS TO
 BE GALLANT.
Philadelphia Gets Back at Its Tormen- tor--Farm Hands te Re Unionizcd. An American Florence Nightiu- gaIe-Harriman Buying
 up a State-Woman's
 Rights Again.

New York. Oct. 6.-(Special Corre- spondence )--Foreigners-that is to say, people from the South and West have long looked on aghast at the displays of masculine selfishness in New York. Somehow New Workers in general haze never quite accepted the conclusion that the men of this city have less gallantry than any equal number of males in Christendom, but now the thing has been proven beyond peradventule
 A young woman-apparently not too prepossessiEg-has been travelling up and down and back and forth on troll ley cars and elevated trains and bridge cars for days, armed, each afternoon and evening. with a $10 check from an afternoon newspaper, to be given to the first man who should offer her his seat in a car Thus far she has given away just $20. Two men out of two million have been chivalrous enough to get up and let her sit down.
 The thing was we'll advertised in ad- vance. The newspaper announced what road the girl and the check would travel on. and it might have been sup posed that in New York. where most talks. all the men would be on springs fin their eagerness to give the lady and her $10 their seats. But 1t is not SO The lessons of this experiment seem to be, that the New Yorker doesn't care much anyway whether the lady is comfortable or not. and fur thermore. incredible as it may seem, that after business hours, he values his own comfort more than money.
 Philadelphia Gets Even.
 Now and then the Philadelphian n finds something to relieve the monoto- ny of dreary and primeval jokes upon the somnolence of its town. little girl, eleven years old. to be exact, came over from the Quaker City week ago to visit some cousins in New York Finally, as a farewell delight, her proud relatives took her down to the Aquarium and showed her the vari- colored fishes and marine monsters. It was all very interesting, and she was reminded any times each day that she never could see anything like this in Philadelphia. She grew duly hum ble.
 Coming across Battery Park to take the elevated for Harlem she startled the company with a scream:
 ''Oh, oh. Look what is that?'
 What! Where7"
