Quinine splphate which had been ex-
posed to the action Of radium, and
had acquired the property Of fiuores-

he suggested the possibility OF EN-
ploying such a fluid for treating In
ternal disease. After being absorbed
in the body Of a patient, X-rays could
be sent through it, thus producing in
ternal radioactive effects He regard
ed radium as promising agent in the
treatment Of cancer, and thought that
the curative powers possessed by some
spring waters might be due to radium
contained in them.

the Oregon wonder horse" an equine
family which was famous not many
years ago, the last representative OF
which Is said to have been exported to
Europe a few months ago One Of
these horses, known as Linus T., had,
ct IA years of age, name 18 feet long
and tail 81 feet A son Of this horse,
Linus H., which was owned at Wad-
dington, NJ Y, IN 1899, had at about
years OF age a double name trailing 2
feet on the ground on each side. His
tail trailed 8 or 8 feet on the ground.
The mother and the paternal grand
mother Of Linus II. were also remark
able for the length and abundance OF
their hair. One OF them was known
as the Oregon Beautq." These horses
are said to have belonged to the Nor

the Porto Rican laborer finds a bare
subsistence easily assured unless he is
handicapped with an unduly large and
unproductive family. Fresh meats are
too expensive for him, however; he re-
lies for food on bananas, beans and
rice In fact, 80 bananas or plantains
are frequently accepted as the equiv
alent Of a days wages of about 30
cents.
This condition Of the laboring class
is far from satisfactory. Thousands
are upon a level with the poems of
Mexico. They are anemie in appear
ance; they live in squalid and vermin-
haunted huts, constructed Of cane or
boards, with front and rear doors, and
a shutter window, and often with a
dirt floor They dress scantily in the
cheapest cotton stuffs, while their chill
dren below the age of z or 8 years run
naked. They use primitive household
utensils, and cook with simple char
coal outfit; and at night their only
light is the tallow candle, though, be-
ing unable to read, they have little use
for better. Such, then, are the masses
Of Porto Rico, whom the Americans
have begun to uplift to higher sta
tus.

a RoId LADY,.

Many a marriage suggests to an ir
reverent curiosity the question, did
the woman propose it2" But one sell
dom finds actual historic proof that she
did. A recent delightful book on Scot
land has an interesting and apparently
authentic story of case where the
woman not only took the initiative, but
took it in a high-handed fashion.
The young Countess of Carrick was
left a widow by the death of her hus.
band while on one of the crusades. The
king became her guardian, and she had
good reason to fear that he would force
upon her a marriage Of policy. She
was a famous horsewoman, and often
rode for a day through her own for
est, attended only by small mounted
guard. One day she encountered a
young man to whom she was at once
much attracted. She asked him to re.
turn with her to her castle, but he had
some gallant adventure already in
hand. and ungraciously declined the
invitation.
At word from her, her men-at-arms
made him a prisoner, and bore him OF
to Turnberry Castle.
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to a proper sense of the charms
of his fair hostess, and knight and LADY
were welded, with the reluctant con-
sent Of the king

attaching to the end of cigarette a
small portion Of composition such as is
used on safety matches. The inven-
ton has been patented by different

aggravating persistency. Some people

that not only would such a compost

New York, Jan. s1.-Bradstreet's re-

Industry is still maintaining posi-

tributive trade for spring, not as yet
fully opened, lacks definite form in
some lines. Lumber is strong at higher
prices than last year. Early predic-
tions of small gain in gross railroad
earnings for the year 1904 over 1908,
the best hitherto reported, are confirm
ed by reports to Bradstreet's Of a'frac-
ton Of per cent increase for the last

EXPOSING THE RAsCALs.

We notice that some of our loyal Re publican contemporaries are inclined to become heavy of heart because of the wickedness of some of the brethren in the Senate. For the ordinary grafters, bribers, blackmailers and other crim- inaIs in low places they care little, because such cattle are too numerous to keep account of. It Is those in the higher position who are worrying them.
 Among the first was Dietrich, of Ne braska. He was indicted by grand jury of the Federal Court of that State for various irregularities, among them being the charge that he accepted money for his Senatorial influence. It Is true that he was not convicted, and it is also true that a committee of the Senate gave him a liberal coat of whitewash and "exhonerated" him, but it is equally true that the Legislature of his own State. where he was better known, refused to re-elect him.
 Then there was Senator Burton of Kansas, who also became entangled in the meshes of the law. He was in- dicted by the grand jury lon a charge of having accepted a fee of $2.5O0 from the Rialto Grain and Securities Com

LAW ny ACCIDENT.

North Carolina is another State which.Is having trouble with a mi5fit law, and the case is almost or quite an amusing one. The last Legislature (before the one now in session) passed what was called an anti-jug law. The law was intended to apply to but four counties in the State, and was to pro- hibit the shipping of liquor in jugs into those four counties. By some means the bill in It's passage was so changed, or something else was done to 1t, that the courts hold that 1t is a general law. and applies to every coun- ty in the State. The Raleigh Post de- clares that the law was intended to apply to only four counties, and 1t was so expressly understood by the Legis- Iature. That Legislature positively and emphatically declared that it would not pass an anti-jug law for the entire State, for it overwhelmingly voted down the anti-jug law amend ment to the Watts bill. It voted for the Hoey bill with the express under> standing that 1t applied only to the four counties named in the caption"
 The process by which a local law, which was not intended to be anything else, could become a general statute is not fully explained, but that it was done there seems no reason to doubt The Post says 1t Is a general law by accident" and that is about all the explanation we have seen. It merely furnishes another illustration of the trouble caused by careless and slovenly legisltion.
