EXCURSION SEASON CLOSING.
Steamers Discontinue Trips to Nearby
River Resorts.


The excursion season to the nearby re-
sorts on the Potomac river closed with the
trips Labor day. and within the next week
or ten days there will be fully third Of
all the steamers In the harbor laid up for
several months. The steamer Queen Anne,
which has been running to River View. will
take the place of the steamer st. Johns
on the Colonial Beach route for a day or
two, but after Sunday next both the Queen
Anne and the St. John will lay up until the
excursion season of 1907. The other steam
ers making trips to Mt Vernon and after
noon trips on the river will continue to run
for few days longer The close of the
excursion season and the laying up Of the
boats make the river front rather dull
after summers gaiety, but the arrival and
departure of the regular lines of steamers
prevent the appearance of stagnation about
the wharves. In consequence Of the almost
continuous rains Of the summer, the ex-
cursion season of this year Is said to have
been one of the poorest ever known on the
river.

Spiders That Change COlOrs.

An interesting instance of color min
icry in spiders has been observed il
the south of France. The spiders OF
that region when in search of prey
hide in the convolvulus flowers. Il
has been noticed that white variety
of spider frequented the white howers
A greenish colored variety made the
green flo"ers his home, and pink one
lived principally in the pink flowers
The colors of the three varieties were
at first supposed to be permanent. but
it has recently been discovered that the
color Of any one of these spiders
changes within few days if the in
sect be placed in the convolvulus Of 8
different colored flower from that which
he has been using as his home Foul
spiders-pink, white, green and yellow
in color-were all put in a box together
and within three days all were white.

COMMON SALT.
itn Excessive Use q Fruitful Cause q
Brfght's Disease.

Apropos Of the recent death Of
Charles Yerkes from Bright's disease
Of the kidneys, it seems fitting time
to say something of the danger attend
ing the excessive use of common table
salt, especially if one has an affection
of the kidneys.
1t has been demonstrated by well
known Psychologists that only small
amounts of sodium chloride common
salt are essential for the we'll being
of man. Bunge claims that a person
using a mixed diet only requires from
one to two grams (ffteen to thirty
grains) daily. However, most people
consume excessive amounts, from ten
to twenty grams Q5O to 300 grains).
Professor Vidal found that when a pa
tient who had nephritis, or kidney dis
ease, was given ten grams GAO grains)
of sodium chloride common salt for
several days he increased in weight,
due to dropsy produced by the salt.
The amount of albumen in the urine
increased, and headache, nausea and
stupor developed, producing a condi-
ton resembling uraemic poisoning.
Professor Vidal was able to make the
dropsy appear and disappear at will
by increasing or Withdrawing the use
Of the salt
Recent reports from the New York
board of health show that the mortali-
ty from kidney disease is greatly on
the increase; hence it behooves us as
intelligent physicians to disseminate
such knowledge as will be preventive
or remedial in Bright's disease or other
diseases of the kidneys. Refraining
from a too strenuous life and the
avoidance Of excuses, particularly in
diet, alcoholic drinks and common salt
will do much toward the prevention of
diseases of the kidney.
The reason why person who has
nephritis should use but little common
produces drOpsy and retards the activ-
ity of the sweat glands by increasing
the osmotic pressure of the blood.
Two grams go grains) of salt are g
great plenty for the average person
Milk contains from IL to IL grams pei
liter Qittle over a quartz. A hundred
grams of bread has an average of l.:
grams; 100 of beef has about IL
grams. Vidal, who is a recognized Eu
ropean authority on this subject, rec
ommends the following daily diet il
kidney diseases: Four hundred grams
about IL ounces) Of meat, 1000 grams
about ~ pounds) OF potatoes. 1O(
grams about 3 ounces) Of sugar, sc
grams about 2 % ounces) of butter
(unsalteD and $500 cubic centimeters
about 2 % quarts) Of fluids.-;Samue

DR.. Flamsteed, who was astronomer
royal in Newton's time, was rather tic
kled by the belief of his neighbors IN
his powers of consulting the stars
about terrestrial affairs. An old wash
erwoman at Greenwich who had been

him about it's recovery. So he set about
drawing squares and circles and sug-
gested that il she went into certain

Gold From the Sea.

This has no reference to the wild
plans that have from time to time beer
exploited for extracting gold from sea
water, but it relates to the attempts
made in Queensland and New South
Wales to recover gold and other pre-
ciOus metals from the sands on the sea
shore. The treatment of these sands
has been undertaken, it would appear
with some promise Of success. Not only
gold, but platinum and uranium, have
been found. 1t is thought that the met
ais find their way to the strand from
submerged rocks which are broken and
tritnrated by the violent waves assail-
ing the cOast.-Youth's Companion.

GIVING TILLMAN ROPE.

Some significance has been at
tributed to the fact that no republican
senator arose to defend the president
from the assault of Tillman of South
Carolina. "Spooner and Hale, who
mad been expected to reply, kept silent,
and even Senator Lodge, the reputed
special friend of the president, was not
heard FROM"
1t would be a stretch of imagination
to believe that these men were silent
because they enjoyed Tillman's out
break. The more probable explana-
ton is that the senators have tired of
answering Tillman knowing that he is
a person without reason, who never
knows when he has been sat down
upon. Nothing would have given him
greater pleasure than a controversy
and it is to the credit of the senate
that his purpose was defeated. Sen
ator Hale challenged him to the proof
of his charges and invited him to ask
for a committee. and when Tillman
had been cornered SO that he must
ask for a committee, the senate by an
almost unanimous vote refused it, thus
showing its appreciation of Tillman.

For home use. however, we will cling
to English for a while. We have been
pounding away on the English lang
uage for a thousand years or more,
and while we haven't made an entire
success of it. it is little too late to
trade it off. Authors from Chaucer
down. and critics down to Brander
Matthews, have been laboring with it,

authors. critics or carpenters of words.

DEPEW'S MEDICATION.

The failure of the New York senate
to ask Senator Depew to resign Is
counted as a vindication of the sena-
tor and his friends are said to be
geratly elated. The New York Even
ing Post however puts some vinegar
ir the sugar by calling attention to
in the course Of the "vindication." SEN
ator Cassidy wound up an appeal for
mercy with the words, Deal gently
with the erring as God hath dealt with
thee" Senator Malby described De-
pew as already wounded and under
the laws of war entitled to the hos
pital and the nurse rather than the
knife of the assassin Senator John
Raines exclaimed fervidly, Il am sor-
~ for Depew."
When the vote was taken all the re-
publicans except Bracket, the author
of the resolution, voted against 1t.
Whether the senators voted mo" be-
cause of grief, or sympathy or because
they believed Depew innocent cannot
be told, except that it is significant
that not one senator who spoke as
well as voted said Depew was lnnO-
cent. Nobody declared ne had been ma
ligned or misrepresented. Nobody de-
MED the charges against him. The
verdict was proven but not guilty
This is the New York version of the
Scotch verdict of guilty, but not
proven" Depew is said to be troubled
with aphasia. He is said to be In
pitiful state of mental distress and
weakness. Pity he no doubt SHOULD
have. but excuses for him are hard
to make. He knew better.

Doomed for Congress.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. l.
George AIDE is to be doomed for con-
gress by his admirers in the tenth dis
trict AIDES home is in Kentland, al
though he does not spend much time
there, except to come down from Chi
cago occasionally to stock up his
farms.
Frederick Gemmer, secretary for
Governor Hanley and leading repub
lican of the tenth district, announced
today that AIDE would be matched
against Congressman Crumpacker for
the congressional nomination
1T does not matter much what his
politics is said Gemmer, "for every
body would vote for him in the dis
trict."
Should AIDE be candidate, Governor
Hanley will be for him. Governor
Hanley is one of AIDES staunchest ad-
mirers.
