A story is told by a London paper
Of a cabman who recently lost his
voice when man was brazen enough
to pay him only the legal fare with
out the customary tip. The cabby
looked at the coin in the palm of his
hand and tried hard to summon up
words capable of expressing a por-
ton OF what he felt. Meanwhile the
man had disappeared, and when the
cabby discovered this his language
completely failed him. Finally a
ineighboring cabman came to his re-
lief: Lave him to God, Mike" he
said: 'lave him to Cod"

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.
When the skin is warm it is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become whittier in
color. This is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin. The
amount of blood passing through the
skin is decreased, and the amount Of
heat thrown off into the cold air is
likewise decreased. If a glass Of wine
or brandy is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation of warmth pro-
duced is delusive. The victim i'm
agines himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
a great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin. The
result is an enormous loss Of heat to
the inside Of the body.
DR.. Parkes, the eminent English
sanitarian, says: Cali observers con-
denim the use of spirits, and even of
wine or beer, as a preventive against
cold" The names Of DIR. King, DR..
Kane, Capt. Kennedy and DR.. Hayes
may also be cited as holding to this
opinion In the last expedition in
search of Sir John Franklin the whole
crew were teetotalers.
Prof. Miller states that the Russian
military authorities 'fnterdict its use
absolutely in the army when troops
are about to move under extreme
cold, part of the duty of the corporals
being to smell carefully the breath of
each man on the morning parade, and
to turn back from the march those
who have INDUCED in spirits, it having
been found that such men are Pc
culiarly subject to be frostbitten and
otherwise injured"
DR.. Carpenter is authority for the
statement that the Hudson Bay COM
pany has, for many years, entirely ex-
cIuded spirits from the fur countries
of the north, over which they have
exclusive control, "to the great i'm
proyement," as Sir John Richardson
observed, "of the health and morals
of their Canadian servants and Of the
Indian tribes"

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond
question that pulmonary tuberculosis
or consumption of the lungs is both
preventable and a durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abrasions of the skin, through
the mucous membrane of the mouth
or the intestines and through the
lungs. The germs of the disease are
found in the sputum of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk of
animals suffering from the disease.
The germs are found nearly every
where. These germs cannot live in
the tissues Of thoroughly healthy
person, as the cells of the body are
capable of destroying the germs, but
when the body is weakened by indi-
gestion, by the habits of breathing
foul or bad air, by anything which i'm
pairs the health, the tissues lose their
power to destroy germs so that when
they enter the body they find lodge
ment, grow and develop and tubercu-
losis of the lungs, bowels or of some
other part is the result.
Statistics show that at least 100000
persons die of this disease in this
country annually. Four or five times
that number of persons are sick all
the time with this disease. Tubercu-
losis kills more than any other NAL
ady. Experience" has shown that the
disease is not incurable, as has been
generally supposed, but is a very cur
able malady if taken in time, and if
the right treatment is applied. Not
less than one hundred thousand lives
could be saved every year by the ap-
plication of proper means for prevent
ing and curing this terrible disease.

HOUSE-The house was in session
for less than two hours on the 18th,
and then adjourned for the day. House
roll No. 6, by Kyd of Gage. to change
the method provided for the drawing
of jurors in Gage county, was re-
commended back for indefinite post
ponement by the standing committee
and the report was adopted. Most of
the morning was spent in committee
of the whole, with Perry of Furnas in
the chair, in considering house roll
No. 13, by Voter of Cedar. This is to
give landlords a lien for rent upon
all crops grown upon the leased
premises and to provide for enforce
ment thereof under the same pro-
cedure as governs in regard to chat
tel mortgages. The bill was recon-
mended for passage. Voter explained
at some length the provisions of the
bill and declared it was necessary
measure for the protection of land
lords against dishonest renters. He de-
plored the fact that similar measures
had always been defeated in previous
sessions. The clerk read to the house
letter received from Congressman
Hinshaw of the Fourth district, as fol-
lows: 81 am in receipt of resolution
adopted by the house of representa-
tives expressing approval Of the views
of President Roosevelt on dealing

SENATE-The first bill that pass
ed the senate occurred on the 10Th
and that was a revenue law amend
ment. Senate file No. 8, by Good of
Nemaha, was indorsed after third
reading. This bill provides for a class
ification of property When the state
board of equalization raises the valu-
bill becomes a law, the valuation Of
property may be raised. 1t is claimed
that this bill will prevent all the tax
payers from suffering from the shirk-
ings of particular class of property
owners. Senator Cady requested that
the judiciary committee prepare bill
listing all property that is exempt
from taxation. The senate went into
the committee of the whole with
Senator Fries of Valley in the chair.
Senate file No. 5, by Senator Epper-
son, was taken up. 1t provides that
complete records shall only be taken
in the cases of real estate litigation
involving titles in other suits. The
measure was ordered engrossed for
third reading. The following bills were
introduced into the senate: To per-
NIT errors in assessment to be cor
rected by the local board of equaliza-
ton. To permit cities, towns and vii
lagos to engage in commercial light
ing and to vote bonds for electric
light plants. The bonds must mature
in twenty years, and may bear as high
as per cent interest. To provide for
a state registrar of vital statistics.

There are few plants that have not
been utilized one way or another by
mankind for food, paper, drugs or 9th
er purposes. Amongst many not so
well known may be mentioned the
japanese wax tree, bearing lunches of
fruit growing like grapes, which con-
tain a species of wax used in making
candles.
Another tree. found in the Pacific
Islands, and known as the candle-nut.
yields large quantity of oil, while
the kernels are strung together on a
stick and lighted as a candle. The
fruit of the candle tree is between
three and four feet in length, about an
inch In diameter, and of yellowish
color. AS they are seen hanging from
the tree, they present the appearance
OF number of wax candles, and are
in such abundance as to give the idea

grown from an acorn taken from a

an immense tree near the generals
house planted them in st. Petersburg,
