Habit In Appetite.

The so called cravings of appetite are
purely the result of habit. A habit
once acquired and persistently follow
ed soon has Us in Its grasp, and then
any deviation therefrom temporarily
disturbs our physiological equilibrium.
The system makes complaint, and we
experience a craving, ii may be, for
that to which the body has become ac-
customed, even though this something
be in the long run distinctly injurious
to the welfare of the body. There has
thus come about q sentiment that the
cravings Of the appetite for food are
to be fully satisfied, that this is merely
obedience to natures laws. This idea,
however, is fundamentally wrong. Any
one with q little persistence can change
his or her habits of life, change the
whole order of cravings, thus demon
strating that the latter are purely arti-
fetal and that they have no necessary
connection with the welfare or needs
Of the body. In other words, dietetic
requirements are to be founded not
upon so called instinct and craving,
but upon reason and intekeaence.-Rus-
sell III. Chittenden in Century.

No Confederate Supreme Court.

at is a curious fact" said New Or
leans man, that the Confederate con-
gress never created a supreme court.
The matter was before the Richmond
congress, but no statute was ever
passed authorizing such Il tribunal.
ut was in a debate over this very
topic in the Confederate senate that the
personal encounter between Ben Hill
of Georgia and William L. Yancey of
Alabama occurred. The senate was in

tor was speaking in favor of the crea-
ton of a court of last resort whose
powers should in a way be limited.
Yancey looked on this idea with dis

His Love Was His Ruin.

When Hannibal had crossed the Alps
into Italy he established himself in
winter quarters in one Of the finest
houses in Capua. While walking one
day In the garden he heard a sweet
voice near at hand. Struck by the
charm Of its tones, he sent for the
singer and became SO enamored of
her that he at once attached her to his
household and disposed Of her hapless
husband by beheading him. Retribu
ton quickly followed this outrage. The
balance Of the winter was devoted to
pleasure. Drill and discipline were
neglected, and as spring came on the
Carthaginian army was so demoralized
that its prestige was lost, and the
downfall Of Hannibal followed.

BLACK RASPBERRlES.

The amatuer who wishes to
try berry growing will find the
black raspberry good plant to
begin with. The raspberry is IN
all probability the most honest
of berry growing plants. There
is no waste, the berries are un-
form in size, and as soon as
gathered they are ready for the
table, or for preserving A plan
tation of this fruit, once estab-
lished, should last six or eight
years. 1t will grow in almost
any soil except very stiff clay,
or one that is poorly drained
so that the water stands on the
soil for some time before being
drained away. 1t is a heavy
feeder, so it's soil must be ferti-
lied every year or two to keep
up it's maximum productiveness.
A northern exposure is best
for the plant, for it suffers from
extreme heat, and the direct
rays of the sun, more than from
extreme cold weather. A slop-
ing ground is preferred to either
the summit or base of a hill.
The black raspberry is propa-
gated by burying the tips of the
canes about August. Simply dig
a little hole with the spade, and
bend the cane so that the tip
will lay in the hole, then cover it
with soil and press it down. The
weight of the soil will usually
hol0 the cane; if not a small peg
may be used. In the fall a young
plant with a mass of roots will
have been formed. The old cane
may be cut away and the young
plants will be ready for setting
out. In most cases it is well to

SOUTHERN CHVELRY.

Many stories have been told OF
southern chilvery, but the palm
appears to go to a story told
by a former governor of Ken
lucky while visiting in this
city recently.
According to the narrator a
genuine Kentucky colonel board
ed a street car which was very
crowded, and somehow he step
ped on the foot of a very pretty
woman. Of course, the woman
evidently expected the colonel
to apologize, just as did every
body else who heard her give a
mouselike squeak when tho COL
onels foot came down.
And she looked as tho she ex-
pected an apology, but the colo
mel, divining her thought, DOTTED
his hat and said: "No, madam,
Pm not going to apologize.
when the good Lord was so
gracious as TO make women so
beautiful and charming and with
so wonderfully nall feet that a
man has to tramp on them to
find them, then / don't think
that an apology"
The complement was too
graceful for the woman to resist,
and all that followed was a
acknowledgment of the colonel's
gallant speech. - Philadelphia

WILL 60 AFTER DlETZ AGAIN.

The Ashland Daily News says:
1t is reported that another
effort will be made to capture
Tohn Dietz wha has become fam
Gus turnout the northwest over
his fight with the Chippewa
Lumber & Boom Company as
to the ownership of the dam on
Thornapple river. Valentine
Weisenbach, Dietz's partner who
aided him a long time in Guiding
the officers and keeping them at
bay, was recently sentenced to a
term of twelve years in Waupon
for his part in the affair. The
conviction of Weisenbach has
had a good effect upon the Off
GERS who will now endeavor to
capture Dietz.
In a recent letter to a friend
at Rice Lake Dietz claims that
the lumber company won only a
partial victory by the carrying
out of the famous dam a few
weeks ago. The letter says that
only one wing of the dam is out
and with it fifteen hundred
thousand feet of logs, while five
million feet still remain above
the dam.
According to Dietz's story
there was deliberate attempt
to carry away the dam. The
gates he says, were lowered at
night and at the sane time the
gates of two dams further up
the stream were opened accord
to a prearranged plan of the
drivers, thereby causing a sud-
den rise of water, which over
flowed the dam, and took out
the company's wing, which was
the weakest part of the struct-
ure.
The dam did not give away
until four o'clock the following
afternoon, altho, according to
Dietz. one wing of a dam above
was blown up with dynamite in
order to increase the flow of
water.
Darkness set in soon after the
logs had begun to run and the
drivers were unable to tend
them. Many he says were scat
tered about in the woods and
left there by the receding water.
Dietz maintains that the situa-
ton is left about where it was
before, except that the three
dams will have to be rebuilt,
and until that is done he will be
relieved from keeping watch on
the one on his farm.

OBITUARY.
AUGUSTUS oRANE.

Morristown has suffered the loss Of
one Of its Oldest citizens in the death
of Augustus Crane at his home on
Morris avenue, on Wednesday. Mr..
Crane was born in New York City
ninety years ago. grew up there and
engaged in mercantile business with a
store on Front street, being known as
one Of the substantial merchants Of
his day. About fifty years ago he
came to Morristown, purchasing the
place on Morris avenue where he
erected a fine home which he has oc-
cupied since. He Identified himself
with the town in many ways. He was
for years a director and president
of the First National Bank, an incor-
porator of the Library and Lyceum,
and Of the Morristown Female Insti-
tute, now Miss Dana's School. He
was a member and one of the main
supporters Of the Church Of the Re
deemer, at one time six Of his family
sang in the choir and in other ways
advancing its interests. Mr.. Crane
was a gentleman of the old school, al
ways courteous in his manners.
thoughtful of the interests of Others
and in every way endeavOred to make
the world better for having lived in it.
He was naturally of retiring DISPOSE
tion and never held public office, al
though always well informed in re-
gard to public affairs and a public
spirited citizen. For some fifteen
years with Mrs. Crane he spent the
winter in Washington, where his son
Augustus was engaged in the banking
business. The deceased is survived by
his wife, sons Augustus, Jr., and Ben
lamin, and daughter, Mrs. James
Leonard Corning, OF New York.

THE R0SEYEAR MILL-P0ND.


The Only Way by which It's ABOLISH
meut may be Accomplished.
The question Of doing away with the
'Rosevear pond, between Speedwell av-
enue and Spring and Water streets, is
being agitated. That the pond is not
no beauty spot is admitted, but no i'll
ness has ever been traced to it directly
or otherwise. But its condition is no
fault of the owners but rather of the
town and private individuals in per-
mitting street-washings refuse from
their premises and sewage matter to-
get into the stream and pond and
some Of these good people complain
the loudest, although they are liable
to prosecution. Years ago the pond
was from ten TO twenty feet in depth,
fish abounded in abundance and trout
we're caught at the foot Of the dam.
Now, the average depth is about four
| feet and that only because the owners
spend more or less yearly in removing
the dirt that washes in.
| Last spring the board Of health had
the surrounding premises inspected
and compelled general cleaning up
Counsel has been taken frequently in
the matter, but always with the result
that the pond cannot be done away
with without compensation to the
owners for the water power. There is
an easy way to get at this. Under a
law passed in 1908, if a proper number
of signatures to a petition be obtained
the matter can be taken before a court,
commissioners be appointed to ascer-
tain the value of the water power to
the owner, and the amount fixed be
can be assessed upon property bentited,
or be raised in the general tax levy.
Years ago the property was regard
ed as one of the most valuable mill
sites in this vicinity. The Aqueduct
Company took so much Of the water
that the power was very muchreduced.
Since the present owners secured the
property they have found it necessary
to put in a 10-horse power steam en-
CINE to provide power in times of
drought. Owing to methods to con-
serve the water in the watershed
drained by the stream running into the
pond by the Aqueduct Company and
the securing of other sources Of sup
ply, the water coming down has been
sufficient to run the factory continu-
ally and no steam has been used in five
or six years. An estimate furnished
last year to substitute other power for
the water demonstrated that it would
cost over 800 per Month This win give
an idea of the value Of the water pow
er.
The factory employs about forty per-
sons on an average, and is one of the
two or three institutions that bring
money into the town, and the owners
should be treated with fairness if not
with liberality. The owners regret as.
much as anybody the condition of the
pond, and as it is a continual matter
of expense for them to keep it in con-
dition to hold water they will gladly
cooperate in any measure that will
prevent its filling up.
