Morphine for Murderers.

Baltimore, Aug. l3.-Phy5icians
are unanimously of the opinion that
the hypodermic syringe affords the
greatest facilities for exterminating
folks who have shin other people.
Jab murderers in the arms ana kill
them with morphine, This Is the
latest substitute for hanging, and
the doctors VINO recommend it say it
is a most dlightful way of putting
people to death.
When the legislature meets again
the Prisoners Aid will urge the most
humane method of putting criminals
to death.
The aid society recommends that
the electrical method be employed, but
medical experts say that the most
painless way is the injection of sew
sral grains of morphirs.iuto the large
artery of an arm. TIE fatal dose
could be prepared by a physician and
the sheriff and the bypodermlc syringe
could do the rest.

The New Jersey Experiment Station
summarizes its record Of the cost Of
producing milk from the college herd
as follows: THE daily cost Of total
food per COW varied from 11.6O cents
in 1895 to 1888 cents In 1901. The
daily cost for fine feed varied from 4.00
cents in 1896 to 1862 cents In 1901 the
cost Of roughage varied from 5.23 cents
in 1902 to 6.61 cents In 1895: The cost
Of production per quart varied from
2.28 cents In 1902 to 2.40 cents In 1893,
and the average annual yield per COW
was 8b2S pounds. The study OF the
records Of individual cows also showed
that but little profit can be derived
from COW that does not produce 1000
pounds OF milk per gear, particularly =

Suddenly Vesuvius started up and
shifted the air and at the same time
| Allan caught a glimpse of human
| figure moving hurriedly among the trees.
He Immediately concealed himself behind
log as we'll as he could and putting his
| hand on the neck of his canine COM
panion, kept him still.
The figure approached and proved to
be that of a white man. Allan was
about to rise from his place of conceal
ment when another party appeared and
caused him to forego his purpose. The
second conner was an Indian, and the
two advanced to- within a few PAGES of
our hero.
"Where is Smooth Tongue? asked the
Indian, rather indifferently.
Hasn't come. I've been waiting a
long time" replied the white man.
The white man was Silas Girty. an
individual we'll known to the settlers of
Kentucky. He was faithless, treac CHI
erous fellow. celebrated for nothing save
being friendly to the Indians. and incit-
ing them to acts of aggression and cru

were made upon Boonesboroughs and
Harrodsburg. His companion was a
chief of the Miamis, called the Little
Turtle, a character also mentioned in
the annals of frontier warfare.

attack?' asked Girty.
"The bold Miamis are ready; they are
always ready when the warwhoop sounds
along the border" said Little-Turtle.

ready also. Why should there be any
more delay about the matter? For my
part, don't see no use in it; every hour
that goes by without being improved is
an hour lost. People will say that we
make war like women and not like men"

"You talk well; you are a wise chief

Norwood replied In the Affirmative,

he could remember.
''The Frenchman referred to was nc

tinued the pioneer, looking toward LIZ

ABOUT "EsPERANTo."
Brief Lesson I'm the New ''Univer
sal' Language.

Brief Lesson I'm the New "Univer-
sal' Language.
Esperanto, the new ''univerSal' Ian
guage, seems to be making no little
progress in Europe. When it was put
forward by it's inventor, DR.. Zamenhof,
after Volapuk had failed as common
tongue for all races, it's chances SEEM
ed very slim, but now a great many
persons are studying it and there are
societies for its propagation in half the
big cities between Stockholm and
Cairo. Like it's predecessor, it is pro-
posed as a solution of the great prob
lem of Babel, says the Baltimore
News. If all the world understood 1t
there would be no need for the German
to wrestle with English. French and
Russian, or for the American to tackle
German, French, Italian, Russian,
Spanish and Greek. On the common
ground Of Esperanto all men could
meet and hold converse.
Like Volapuk, it is all artificial lam
guage, made Of the choicer cuts Of all
modern tongues. English, apparently,
as the worlds chief language, has CIV
en- it more words than any other. Thus
''beefsteak," to the Esperantist, be-
comes "bifsteko," and alphabet" al
phabeto." French comes next in order,
with 'fromago" for cheese, ETC., and
after it come German, Italian, Span
ish, Swedish, Dutch and Russian. Ev-
cry civilized tongue has made its con-
tribution.
A study of the Esperanto vocabulary
are an enormous number of words that
are practically the stne in every Eu-
ropean language. Thus, the word for
price" is almost identical in English,
German, Swedish, Dutch, French,
Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian,
Bohemian and Danish. So, also, are
thousands IT other words coffee"
beer" IS IT, ''wine," sugar"
might" ets,. DR.. Zamenhof, in fashion
ing Esper. ,ltO, took full advantage Of
this fact, and in consequence an ordi-
nary sentence in his new tongue is un-
derstandable, as rule, to almost ev-
cry one. Thus, European would guess
that ia rozog estas sur la tablo"
meant 1.-The roses are on the table"
and that La domo de la SinIorf B.
estas tire bella" was Esperantese for
THE home Of Mr.. B. is very beauti-
full"
That such language has claims to
serious consideration is very plain.
With It's simple grammar and invari-
able infections, it is Infinitely less dlffi-
cult to the student than any modern
tongue. Mark Twain once said that
any intelligent man could get fair
working knowledge of English in thfr-
ty days, of French in thirty weeks and
of German In thirty years. Esperanto
tops all Of these in simplicity A glance
at lesson book shows that a pretty
good acquaintance with its chief fea-
lures should be obtained In thirty
hours.
At the recent Zionist congress at
Basel some Of the delegates from re-
| mote countries communicated with one
another through the medium OF this
neutral tongue. In a few years, per
haps. its usefulness may be extended.
and II the linguistic experts now per-
fecting it give it more English caste.
| It may Jet serve the world giorioualy
