The record of ships voyage Is
called its log because the observations
of its speed, usually taken hourly, by
the log line are very important factor
in the record. The log line Is so called
because the float attached to the line
was originally a small log or stick Of
wood. This "log" is now a square or
triangular piece of board weighted so
that it sits upright in the water. The
log line is divided 10y knots or marks
into lengths of fifty-one feet which is
about one ne-hundred-and-twentieth
Of a marine mile, so that the ship Is
going as many marine miles or knots
in an hour as the number of knots or
lengths that run off the reel in half q
minute when the log" is thrown over
board.

Hot SOda Baths.

Hot soda baths are recommended by
some persons for rheumatism, and the
way they are taken is this: Fill the
tub half full of water as hot as can be
borne, add half a pound of common
baking soda and immerse the body for
at least twenty minutes, keeping up
the temperature by the addition of hot
water from time to time. Vaseline or
cold cream should be rubbed into the
skin after the latter has been dried in
order to replace the natural oil.

If her system is in deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable TO begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
ziness. headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia-

$4,000 EGGS in
INCUBATOR.

The largest incubator in the
world has just been tested on the
poultry farm of DR.. 5. b. Smith,
at Lykens, this county, ,and prov
ed a failure says a Bucyrus (O)
dispatch DR.. Smith conceived the
idea of a monster incubator, and
one holding 100000 eggs was con-
structed for him with an elaborate
system of heating by forced draft.
A gas engine and blower forced
hot air into the hatcher.
After a few preliminary tests
with indifferent results, DR.. Smith
decided to make a trial with 25-
600 eggs. At the end of the usual
period of incubation there appear
ed twenty EIGHT of the most expen-
sive chicks that ever opened their
eyes upon a world of trouble. The
24,792 other eggs were spoiled
through the impossibility of
regulating the heat properly.

How 10 Break Up a Cold.

II may be surprise to many to learn
that severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days time.
The first symptoms of cold are dry,
loud cough, profeus watery dis
charge from the nose. and a thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first of these symp'
toms, it counteracts the effect OF the
cold and restores the system to a
healthy condition within day or two.

The body of General Joseph Wheel
er, the great cavalry leader of the
Confederacy and later one of the
most prominent figures among the
generals of the Spanisn-American
War, was inferred in the cemetery at
Arlington, the old home of General
Robert E. Lee, on Monday. Veterans
of the Southern and Northern armies
mingled in paying tribute to him with
the younger veterans of the Cuban
and Philippine campaigns of 1898 and
1899. The State and Nation was well
represented by men in every walk of
life in fact, including the President
and his wife, at the interment Of the
old hero. His funeral took place from
the home of his sister in New York
Oh Sunday, where General Wheeler
died on Thursday of pneumonia. The
character of the old hero was well
portrayed by DR.. Stiles, who preach
the funeral sermon, in the following:
This is one of the great occasions
of our lives. For we are met to honor
the memory of rare man. do not
speak to you of him principal
ly as a citizen, statement or soldier,
for the mere record of his deeds is far
more eloquent than any praise of ours
could be. 1t is of the man l think at
this hour. Was he entitled to be call
ed great? 1t is not difficult for you to
decide.
He was distinguished by courage
without rashness; by wisdom without
pride; by gentleness without weak
ness; by patience without Needless
ness, and by justice which always
leaned toward mercy. He hon bred
man, he trusted man, and to every
man he was ready to give his time,
his substance, his heart. The North
gives him unstinted honor. The
South even in her grief, is proud of
her ever-loyal son. Cuba, for whose
freedom he fought, sobs out her grief
across the waves, and the whole world
pauses for moment to-day to declare
that this was indeed man.
LET there be little sadness here.
We are not concentrating a defeat;
it is the victory of life-the triumph
of noble character"

Many important bills have been III
troduced by the members of the pres
ent Legislature showing Chat they are
alive to the interest of their cOnstitu'
ents. and which will win for them the
plaudits of faithful public servants il
they succeed in having them embod-
led into the laws of the State. In the
number is the bill which has for Its
object the reduction of railroad rates
in certain cases to two cents a mile.
The requirements of the bill, briefly
summed up, are that the transporta-
ton companies in the State shall not
sell 500 and 200 mile passenger tick
cts for more than $40 and $50 respect
lively; that the purchaser or any mem
Der of his immediate family shall use
the ticket so purchased; that there
shall be no agreement, stipulation OF
condition in the sale of such tickets
and no time limit upon them; that a
refusal to sell such tickets, or of the
Transportation companies to accept
same, shall entitle the person so ag-
grieved to recover from such corpora
ton S5Oin each case.
Every provision in the bill is rea-
sonable one. Two cents mile is the
maximum rate of passenger fare III
New York, the Legislature of Ohio
has under consideration and will pass
a similar bill, and there is no reason
why passengers should pay more than
two cents mile in Virginia.
If there is any good reason for time
limit IN tickets or in prohibiting the
family of a purchaser i'll using them
the secret is with the railroad people.
They have none. 1t is piece of
jugglery by which the purchaser is
deprived of the right of using what he
has paid for and which belongs to
him. Certainly the policy of the rail
roads of holding on to the peoples
money under the statement that ten
dollars is only to be held when one
purchases a 1000 mile ticket as a
guarantee that the ticket will not be
sold to some one else, is too fraudu-
lent on its face to be believed by any
one. The reason is to beat the peo-
pie out the $40, which this require
ment often does, or to compel them to
let the railroads have their money
free of interest.

SURPLUS AND DEBT.

He shows that the State has sur
plus of something over S2S6,00 in the
treasury and has reasonable right to
expect, with present rates of expendi-
ture, an annual surplus of over $780,
600. This is a magnificent showing.
As the governor points out, however,
it gives no excuse for extravaganza or
for relaxing our vigilance and care in
using what money we have. Large
as the sum is, it is small really when
compared with our needs. The sug-
gestion that a considerable proportion
of the surplus be used in anticipating
payment of the public debt is one de-
handing close consideration and JUS
tifying very careful discussion.

H~e The New Governors Address.

Governor Swanson's inaugural adj
dress is the paper of an optimlst, a
statesman. a thinker and Virginlan
of the wear 1906. 1t touches here ana
there into rhetoric, which is not un-
pleasing as a break in the details oil
practical business and suggestion, ana
has occasional traces of haste III pre-
marathon. 1t is filled, however, WIN
confident and cheerful hope, with
promises and purpose, and its recon-
mendations and declarations are
strong, clear and decisive.
DEMAND FOR PEACE.
The announcement of the gov
ernor's purpose to labor earnestly to
have partisan and factional politics
forgotten so that all Virginjans may
work in harmony to realize the rich
promise before the State has the
stamp of sincerity. 1t commits the
governor indefinitely to that policy.
1t invites his former opponents, none
of whom should be his enemies now,
to respond cordially to the spirit he
expresses so we'll and to cooperate
with him zealously.
RAILROADS.
Regarding the railroads of the State,
the governor defines exactly what
ought to be the relations between
Them and the people. They should
work together for their common in-
terest, realizing that mutual pros
perity and growth can be promoted
most surely by that course.
IMMIGRATION.
The recommendation along the
lines of stimulating immigration are
clear and practical. We are glad to
see that the governor does not hest
tate to suggest the creation OF a new
office or the making of new appro-
priation when he thinks either is nee
essary for the expanding purposes and
the increasing demands of a growing
and prosperous State. He favors the
spending of money for the stimula-
ton and regulation of immigration.
BANKING AND INSURANCE.
Recognizing the Importance and the
value of the great banking and insu-
rance agents and urging that they
should be fostered and protected by
all the power of the State, the gov
ernor insists that they should be
closely supervised in the interest of
the people and their solvency and con-
of management assured.
He proposes that the life insurance
be required to invest part
of their surplus, having some proper
tiOn to the premiums they collect
from the people of the State, in local
securities.
