When Soft Crabs Are Dangerous.

Apaches Never Took ScaIpS.

The taking of scalps has been spoken
of so commonly in the press of the
United States that it has become a
general practice, when speaking Of
man having lost his life among the In
dams, to say, HE lost his scalp" Nov
elists even of today when locating
their stories in Apacheland, almost in
varably scalp the victims of Apache
vengeance. AS a matter of fact, one
can say that the Apache never took
scalps. Men who have lived in the
Apache country and have been closely
associated with them for thirty years
or more claim that no full blooded
Apache ever scalped man he killed.
On the contrary, he would not touch
body after death and would throw
away his weapons if stained with hui
man blood. Their own dead the men
never help to bury. This task is left
to the women e. S. Curtis in Serb.

TOO MUCH TEA DRINKING.

Physical deterioration is alarming
all England and health committees
are running around seeking the
causes and then warning people
about their manner Of living. One
of the dangers they find to be guard
ed against is the teapot. Excessive
use Of strongly brewed tea having
been proved to be fatal to the best
physical condition, to reduce this
danger to 3 minimum the tea should
not be made strong and should be
drunk within two minutes. But
how prevent the working woman, for
instance, from keeping the deadly
teapot on the kitchen stove and
drawing a cup" whenever she feels
so inclined? The climate is really
first cause, the cheering poison but
the second. One has to be comfort
ed by tea in London's fog and chill
and a health committee is powerless
to change the climate.

The Apple Crop.

Waverly Times,
The apple crop, which has always
been an important product Of this To-
cality, is this year a record breaker.
1t is estimated by local apple growers
that there will! be from thirty-hve TO
forty thousand barrels shipped from
Waverly this season.
More than usual this year, 1t is hard
for ths growers aud buyers to get to-
gether on prices.
Growers are asking rs cents to 81 %
per barrel on the trees tor winter va
%rieties, and buyers are offering 30 GEMS
TO 81 90 picked and on the table for
No. /.
Previous years it has been the Gus.
tom for buyers to buy by the orchard
and do their own picking, they seem
unwilling to do this and growers are
slow to accept the low prices offered
by the barrel. Only a few orchards
have been sold so far, aud these at
prices disappointing to the grower.
The fancy varieties, such as Johua.
than, Grimes Golden, York Imperial
and a few others seem to be most in
quest Of by buyers and are selling al
So cents to 81 so per barrel. The
Ben Davis, which has been called tbs
king OF apples, and was the orlglua
"Big Red Apple" IS now In III re
pute, and the growers are asked t.
pick and haul them for so cents per
barrel for No. / stock. This variety
largely predominates in this section
and at these prices the big crop woui'
be almost a failure, SO far as remuuer
alton to the grower is concerned.

Railroad Corruption.

Democrats may honestly disagree
about the wisdom of Mr.. Bryan's plans
Tor an ultimsts governmental owner
shio Of railways, out there can be no
honest disagreement about the absolute
truth d his statement that 1--WE have
bid no more corrupting influence in
amvlicAn politics than the railrCadi -
This IS so literally aud absolutely true
that it is not surprising, after all, Mr..
Bryan has permitted bis judgment to
lssent to so radical a method Of reform
as governme-t tai oW nership.
Ii the hall of municipal, State and
Federal Legislatures the blighting and
~debauching Influence Of the railroad
lobbyist has become more and more
marked year by year. 1t is quite pos
alble to look back to a period not o
thar two or three generations ago
when The railroad lobby and railroad
money had little or no part in shaping
legislation, or in directing executive
action. Yet, it is unfortunately q fact
Today, and has been for q number OF
years, that no Legislative body meets,
whether it be Town Council, Stat
Assembly or Federal Congress, with
out the chance being strong that one
or more railway companies has a paid
representative OF the membership roll.
This statement is not the sllghteet
exaggeration Of the facts, 1t truth
fully presents condition which has
come to be so common IN American
political affairs that the people of this
country look upon 1t as a matter Of
course, and to a large extent accept
the evil as one of which it is impossI.
bic TO obtain an adequate remedy.
This torpid mental attitude Mr.. Bryan
challenges with his recommendation
for governmental ownership.
No one familiar with the experiences
Of the railway corporations will CUES
tion the fact that railway manager

mailing and sandbagging have me

Of this kind can Justify corruption
