Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 19.-From
authentic estimates made of the citrus
crop for next year indications point
to record-breaker. That there will
be upwards of $4,000 carloads is
certain, and the aggregate may reach
10000 cars.
The current year ends October 3lst
with shipments that will total more
than 10000 cars. and the daily aver
age now is about 20 carloads, with
lust one and one-half of a month re-
naming.
II the estimates given prove cor
rect the crop next season will break
the record by fully 5000 cars, as the
present season is doing by about 5000
cars. Returns for the shipments this
season show that the Southern Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange will have dis
tributed $7,00O.O00 to growers for
fruit shipped for its members. Close
calculations upon the output for next
season place the net amount that will
come to the growers at about s12,-
900, 900.
How to handle this enormous ton
mage is a problem that now confronts
the railroads and this far in advance
additional orders are being placed for
refrigerator cars by the Santa Fe to
be delivered on emergency.
The san Pedro Los Angeles and
Salt Lake have contracts with the Ar
mour company to handle their share
OF the freight.

Square Denials Made of Captain
Taggart's Charges of Unseemly Con-

Declares That Certain Evidence is
Vindication of Captain Taggart.

Wooster, o., Aug. 19.-The court
this morning dismissed from the evil
dence Captain Taggart's charges i'm
plicating Lieutenant Rither and Clin-
ton Spencer, on motion of Mrs. Tag
gart's attorneys. He refused to dis
miss the complaints of Minor, Fortes-
que and Billy Taggart.
The deposition of Bash was read
this morning. He declared he knew
neither Taggart nor his wife inti-
mately; that never saw her under
circumstances that make confiden-
ces or intimacies possible. He called
at Taggart's home only four times
while in Manila, He denied the af-
fidavit of Augustine Delacruse, de-
claring it to be absolutely false. He
said he never played poker for money
with Mrs. Taggart and denied that
she ever visited him in his quarters.
Going Taggart's Way.
The judge, in granting the motion
to dismiss the evidence reviewed the
case and commented upon Taggart's
imprisonment and said all the evil

Professor Albert Helm. the wei,
known geologist and Alpinist of Zu
rich, has just described, at a meet
ing of the Swiss Alpine Club, the
sensations which he experienced
while falling from a precipice on the
~S5aentis Alps.
He was not troubled in his breath
ing. and felt none of the paralyZing
terror which so often overwhelms
men when face to face with some
sudden and awful catastrophe. He
felt tranquil, but endowed with an un'
usual mental activity; varied
thoughts and ideas flashed rapidly
through his brain, and a thousand
lo~ng-forgotten incidents of his past
life came pleasantly to his memory.
Then came a sound of soft and
soothing music, and at the instant
that he knew that he had struck the
ground he lost consciousness abSo-
lutely without pain or the slightest
sensation of shock.-Philadelphia

NoIseIess Peacocks.

Peacocks for the lawns Of country
houses are becoming more and more
popular every year. There are deal.
ers who make a specially of these
decorative birds. There is eve one
dealer who sells ~noiseless peacocks,
for which he gets readily $75 apiece.
The one objection to the peacock
Is his hoarse and piercing cry. The
dealer in silent peacocks operates on
the birds threats in such a way as
to quiet them forever. The operation
is not painful nor perilous, and yet
It increases the peacock's value four
fold.
A good peacock can be bought for
SIS. The bird eats corn and barley.
Its actual living expenses are not
great, but it is apt at n time to
die. The peacock, in this matter of
sudden illness and death, is almost
the monkeys equal.
They who keep a dozen or more
peacocks have among them always a
few plain little peahens. Hens sell
at a lower rate than cocks, for they
are not so beautiful.
Her eggs are large and brown, and
when she is nesting the peahen must
be fed by hand.-Philadelphia Bulle'

Gas For Lighting Formerly Confined TO
Cities and Large TOWNS, Now In Gen-
eral Use In tia Country.
The satisfactory lighting of suburban
AMI country homes requires that the
means used shall be convenient. Safe
economical and furnish a brilliant, PEN
etrating, effulgeGt light.
Everybody admits that these are not
the characteristics of the camille or
kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were
the only fea sible means OF producing
light for domestic use in the rural DIS
tricts.
For generations there was a crying
need. a yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
q deliyerance came in the shape OF
the chemical compound. Calcium Car
bide. from which, by the simple appli-
cation of water. the gas Aeetylene is
derived. Acetylene meets all the re-
quirements fully and admirably and Is
being generally used.
Common lime and carbon in the form
OF coke or coal are the raw materials
which. fused in an intensely heated
furnace, make Calcium Carbide. ana
there is no difficulty in obtaining 1t Ill
any part of the country.
The machine into which the Calcium
Carbide is fed and from which the
Acetylene is distributed through the
building to be lighted, is but little larS-
err than a th~irty-gallon milk can, ana
Of the same general form. 1t is easily
and cheaply installed, either in the Gel
lar or in an outbuildirg.
The light from burning Acetyiene is
exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that 1t surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes, and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

A Ruined Seaport.

Rye is a curious old place and of
fers attractions to golfers and anti
uuarians-two very different tribes.
Once it was a seaport and a strong
fortress. It's Ypres Tower, which
used to dominate both town and sea,

lam of Ypres, who built it centuries
ago.. But the citizens have mostly
forgotten him, and call their medieval
fortiication the "Whypress' Tower
without in the least knowing why.
Now the tower no longer frowns on
the sea, but looks yer a mile and a
half of marshes between it and tho
channel, and incidentally over the
golf links. The streets of Rye are all
uphill, winding, and SO narrow that
from the windows you can almos.

Cheaa Nitrogen.

It is reported, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal, that by the Esch'
weiler-Woltereek process for taking
nitrogen from the air a ton of ammon-
ium sulphate can be made at a cost
Of less than half the present price.
Prof. Wilhelm Eschweiler is in the
Technical High School of Hanover,
and H. C. Wiltereek is a Londoner.
The process is described as follows:
A current of air mixed with steam is
passed over a mass Of burning peat
Part Of the nitrogen Of the air unites
with nascent hydrogen from the
steam, forming ammonia, which is
then absorbed by sulphuric acid.

1t is easy to arrange that the patch

When blankets grow thin they
should be darned with wool of the
same color.
Alcohol is especially good for clean

Sheets and pillow eases should be
carefully folded when dry, then the
ironing is made easy.
When linen is we'll looked after and
kept in thorough repair its time of
usefulness is considerably heightened.
Turpentine is not good for window
glass because it must be washed off
carefully or it will leave a sticky film.
Varnish stains OF glass, thing, mar

Old paint stains will also yield, per-
haps even more readily than when tur-
pentine is used.

Never throw a sheet away because it

Pay Days in Norway.

In Norway on pay days saloons are

One writes the message, puts on the
right number of stamps, and drops 1t

Get POWER.
The supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skilful-
ly selected food that exactly fits the
requirements of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a
pool fire is not a good steam producer.
''From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs l suf-
fered g%rievously for a long time from
stomach troubles" writes a lady from
a little town in Missouri.
ct seemed as if / would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that / could eat would stay on my
stomach. Every attempt gave me
heartburn and filled my stomach with
gas. I got thinner and thinner, until l
literally became a living skeleton, and
In time was compelled to keep to my
bed.
"a few months ago l was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that 1 have kept up its use ever since.
| was surprised at the ease with which
l digested it. 1t proved to be just
what / needed. All my unpleasant
symptoms, the heartburn. the inflated
feeling which gave me SO much pain
disappeared. My weight gradually
increased from 98 to 116 lbs, my figure
rounded out, my strength came back
and | am now able to do my house
