ALGBCIRAS, Spain-Moroccan con-

deadlock which has arisen over the

their instructions and therefore are
sions and the conference not having
judicial or legislative powers cannot
settle the difference by majority.

warning to BEARDED Men.

ut Is well that old men should wear
Boards" said physician, "for when
one becomes old one should be spared
the exertion OF daily shaving. But /
would like to issue warning to all
beard wearers. / would like to shout
Keep your boards dryv in voice loud
enough to be heard around the world
Were those words needed many cases
OF sore throat, cold and influenza
would be avoided, and many deaths
would be indefinitely put Off. So many
men with boards neglect when they
wash their faces to wipe their boards
dry! A beard foot long demands
lot of toweling. 1t should be toweled
after every wash n good five minutes.
Otherwise it is damp. The owner goes
about with this damp thing upon his
delicate and sensitive throat. Then, if
he takes tonsilitis or influenza, he
blames the American climate. There
are too many damp boards among us.
Too many men, washing their faces
three or four times a day, have their
boards damp and clammy good three
hours daily."-New York Press.

EARTHQUAKES.

No prediction can be made safely as
to future earthquakes in any particular
region. If any conjecture is warrant
ed, it is merely that regions which are
known to have contracted the earth
quake habit are, on the whole, more
likely to quake in the future than are
regions which have long been free from
seismic disturbances. No part of the
continent seems less likely to be shak-
en- than the Mississippi BASIN Yet there
were disastrous earthquakes about the
mouth of the Ohio river in 1S11-13.
Regions covered with thick layers of
clay, sand, gravel, glacial drift, etc, like
much of the basin of the upper Missis-
sippi, are less likely to suffer severely
than those where solid rock comes to
the surface, for the loose material acts
as cushion to deaden the vibrations
which come to the surface from the
solid rock below.-The World Today.

The Old Timc Buocaueer.

DIR. Maseield's book, ION the Span
ash Man," presents the old time buc-
cancer in less abhorrent light than
that in which most people have regard
ed him. He even had religious beliefs
No buccaneer was allowed to hunt or
to cure meat upon a Sunday. No crew
put to sea on a cruise without first
going to church to ask n blessing on
their enterprise. No crew got drink
on the return to port after successful
trip until thanks had been declared for
the dew of heaven they had gathered.
After a cruise the men were expected
to fling all their loot into pile, from
which the chiefs made their selection
and division. Zach buccaneer was ex-
pected to hold up his right hand and to
swear that he had not concealed any
portion of the spoil. If after making
oath q man were found to have secret
ed anything he was bundled overheard
or marooned when the ship next made
the land. Each buccaneer had mate
or comrade, with whom he shared all
things and to whom his property de-
volved in the event Of death. In many
cases the partnership lasted during life.
A love for his partner was usually the
only tender sentiment n buccaneer al
lowed himself.

Names Female warrior.

During the war between the states
when it became necessary to draft
men for the army recruiting officer,
Parker Mears by name, went to an
island off the coast of Maine called
Louds island. 1t claimed to be plan

tall, brawny female, the mother of sew
eral stalwart sons, appeared on the
rocks and as the officer set foot on
shore sternly demanded his business.
"After men for Uncle SAM" he an
swered.
She Immediately began to pelt him
with big, hard potatoes, and they came
so fast and furiously that he was
obliged to flee to the boat and row
away as fast as possible. Mr.. Mears,
when little excited, suffered badly.

Modest French Salaries.

Figures recently showing the daily
salaries of certain magistrates have
astonished some of our readers. The
judge of the Seine receives, in fact,
5000 francs $4,000 year and the pro-
curator of the republic 10000 francs
$4,000. But in the small tribunals
the salaries are as follows: Judge, 5000
francs ($G00)); paid substitute, 1,500

or puDllc instruction.
A Lansing news item says: State
Highway Commissioner Earle goes to
Hastings tomorrow by invitation to
help the people jubilate over the, COM
pletion of mile of gravel road ada
cent to that town, for which when in
spected and accepted they will draw
five hundred dollars from the state
treasury. This is the first mile for
Barry county, and they feel so good
over it that they have petitioned for
another mile upon the end of that one.
So far, one hundred fifteen applications
have been filed under the new road law.
asking for about hundred fifty miles
of road. The most of this is under con-
struction, and something like a quarter
of the amount has been completed, and
so far only one piece has been rejected,
one and half miles of gravel road in
Saginaw county. The law limits the
reward to be paid in any one year to
two miles of road in any one township,
and in the whole state for this year to
fifty thousand dollars; but those limita-
tions do not limit the right of the COM
munity to go ahead to any extent de-
sired in the construction of roads, for
which the claim for reward in excess of
the limitation will be good against the
next years appropriation.
Whatever other reason might have
been given by Prof. Ferris, in connec-
ton with his final refusal to accept the
democrat nomination for governor,
after keeping the responsible leaders of
that organization in suspense for several
months, he was hardly entitled to charge
lack of interest on the part of other
members of his party as the reason for
his refusal. 1t will be remembered
that Prof. Ferris declared after his
nomination for governor, two years
ago, that he had not attended a party
caucus or convention for twenty years.
And he made claims of being an unus-
ually deserving citizen, and seriously
asked the people of Michigan to make
him governor because of his high ideals
as reformer and political leader. And
now Prof. Ferris looks upon failure to
attend one party primary as fault he
will not forgive. He is nearer right
now, too, than he was during the
twenty years he was neglecting his
duties and privileges as a citizen, but
he is hardly in a position as vet to do
