saved him from making. publicly at

Roosevelt to Judas Iscariot. That
speech is not likely to hurt President
Roosevelt very much, but just what
effect it is going to have upon Charlie
Towne may be worth thinking about.

OAKLAND, Cal, April 21.-The
burned district extends about six miles
north and south, and three miles east
and west 1t is bounded by the water
front to Van Ness and in places to
Octavia, and from Market street to the
bay. Practically everything south of
Market street is burned. The city and
county hospitals barely escaped. The

famine will be averted. Military au-
thorities are maintaining rigid disci-
pline to prevent a panic. General Fun

WOMEN AS VOTERS.

Mrs. Henrotin, of Chicago, outlined
the reasons why women should vote
at municipal elections, calling atten-
ton to the paternal character city
governments are assuming and asked
whether women are not as much inter-
ested in the health problem, the pure
water question, the Juvenile courts, the
cleaning of streets, tenement inspec-
ton, etc.
1t should be admitted instanter, that
women are more interested in these
questions than men, but why confine
the argument for woman's suffrage to
these questions? Are not women as
vitality interested in the tariff as men?
Do they not buy the trust-made ar
ticles at the stores, and are they not
more acutely aware Of the shelter af
forded them by the tariff than the men
are? Are not women as much inter-
ested in the transportation question as
men? Have they not an equal inter-
est in the pure food bill, the free
alcohol bill, the wife-beater bill?
1t is not question of interest. 1t
is a question of how the common inter-
est shall be cared for; question of
whether doubling the number of vot-
ers and making women active instead
of advisory politicians will turn the
trick.

UNQUALIFIED
THOSE GENTEEL BRITISH GAMES.

They play a milder kind of football
over in England than we do. The
Britisher is shocked at our mass plays,
hurdles, flying tackles, and other evil
dences of crude western barbarity, and
English sports have been held as a
model for our American institutions
by some of the refOrmers. They are
so clean. so wholesome, and so free
from brutality.
On little closer inspection, though,
one finds there are some things in
English university sports that need re-
forming, according to the American
point of view The following extract
from the oxford Varsity of March Is,
in it's account of an inter- university
competition with Cambridge, shows
that the American reformer is badly
needed over there:
j. L. Walker, Trinity, and T. D.
Richardson, Trinity hall, Cambridge
then entered the ring and a short and
sensational round took place. Walker
was quite in another class to his OPP
ponent and landed some lefts in the
first few rounds, being literally almost
untouched himself Before minute
had passed he got a terrific right on
like a log and there was no question
about the winner. 1t may be taken as
an axiom that a Knockout blow which
makes the recipient fall forward is
generally a settler, and this was dem
onstrated in the case of the feather
weights last week. One could almost
have wished that the round had lasted
for a while longer as it was real
pleasure to see Walkers form and
style
This would seem to be case for
police interference. The oxford boys

Down he went again, and up he came

down for the fourth and last time with
terrific smash. Wilson has come on
very rapidly and will be quite first

same rate
Wouldn't that shock our reformers?
Its quite a decent, decorous sort of
employment, however, in the ewes of
the British undergraduate. When the
excitement ran to fever heat" the COL
legians probably emitted that low

FROG WAS TO BLAME.

"This farmland claimed that he

hours. When a frog croaks in the
afternoon you may be sure of "a hours

or so a heavy shower came up and we
were both drenched to the skin.

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambcry that Engineer Balderauer,
Of Salzberg, has inyented balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains in
the neigh0orhood of that German city.
1t consists of stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along q single steel rail The rail is
fastened 10 the side of steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb. except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon is to float
about 80 feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects 1t with
the rail- The conductor can, st will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent Is
caused by pressure Of water which
is poured into a large tank at the up
per end of the road. and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten pas scngers. Tho cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car to a regulator OF
speed which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor Of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out of existence.

KISSING THE EABY.
A Sweet Faced fodder Helpless
Victim ard the Habit Is One
That Should Be Stopped.

One of the things upon which care
fnl mothers insist in engaging nurse
for young children is that indiscrim-
mate kissing of her charges must be
prevented. Many persons consider
that baby or sweetfaced little tod
der met anywhere is legitimate OBJ
ject for kisses and fondling prac.

couraged. A writer recently made the
startling statement, credited to ply

that an adult with simple case OF
catarrh can give a child membraneous

ment needs qualification. that certain
conditions are necessary beyond the
mere contact of breath to develop the
germs, but even the remote POSSIBLE
ity should be sufficient to warn par
ents and friends of their responsible
ity.
A physicians wife said not long
ago, in regard to the same matter:
II was surprised. in securing
nurse for my first child, to have my
husband object to one who came to
me on trial. She was efficient and
neat in every way, but she had very
poor teeth. They were discolored,
and evidently in poor condition, and
my husband insisted l should dis
charge her at the end of her trial

hotbed for septic germs, even in its
most perfect condition He would
certainly have no nurse about breath.

CANNING DIRECTIONS.
Wash Cans with Hot Soda Water
How to Fill So They Will Not
Break-Use Good Rubbers.

Prepare carefully and have every
thing absolutely clean II you want
your canned goods to keep. Wash the
cans with hot soda water, and lightly
Doll the covers in soda water. Then
rinse both in clear, hot water. Next
test the cans by filling to the brim
with hot water, adjusting new rubbers,
screwing on tops, drying, and then
setting on their heads for an hour, or
over night. II any cans leak, discard
them. or test them again with new
rubbers or covers. When satisfactor-
lily tested, be sure to keep the same
cover to the same can, admonishes
Farm and Home.
Glass cans will not crack If, when
filling them with hot fruit and juices,
you will first rinse the can with hot
water, and place 1t upon a folded
towel wrung out of hot water. Also
place a long silver spoon or fork in
the can. which attracts the heat to
Itself. Then stir the contents of the
can with the silver spoon, so as to
break and remove any bubbles or air.

be sure to have the can overIowing
full before screwing on the cover.
When the can has cooled off never
place it in draft give the screw
another turn, for in cooling, the glass
has very likely contracted somewhat.
Then carefully set the cans away In
cool, dark, dry closet. Don't place
so near together that they touch, and
don't disturb them any more than you
can help.
If these rules are conscientiously
followed, you ought to have no trou-
bic in keeping things, always provld-
ed. of course, that what you put in
the cans was properly prepared, and
all the rules of cleanliness were OBJ
served. Never make the mistake OF

Bathing in White House Grounds.

"Those Roosevelt boys" remarked
well-known citizen, certainly make
the most of their opportunities for
pleasure. You know there is q large
fountain in the presidents grounds
south of the White House. Well, was
walking in that vicinity on one OF the
warm days last week when | saw a
sight that interested and amused me.
1.-TWO of the presidents boys rushed
across the lawn from the mansion In
bathing suits of the scantiest type. and
mounting the iron rail of the fountain,
Owed in among the gold fish and
AQUATIC plants. The water was rather
cold. but those youngsters didn't seem
to mind 1t little bit.
after swimming around like por-
poises for n few minutes and indulging
in splashing battle the smaller boy
climbed out of the basin and ran into
the White House with his brother in
close but futile pursuit. 1t was a hot
day, and | envied them their big out

partment at Barking in which a po-
liceman and prisoner were travel
ing.
Presently the policeman fell asleep
and when the train reached Plaistow
the prisoner, failing to arouse his GUS

liceman woke up he mistook the urban
councillor for his prisoner and tried
to force him out to the platform. The
councillor resisted, and the train went
on to Bromley by Bow.
Here the policeman succeeded In
hauling the victim out and took him
back to Plaistow by train. After a
long cross-examination the councillor
was liberated and reached home by
cab in the small hours of the morning.
