CAPTAIN BLAMED FOR
VALENCIA DISASTER
Report Of Investigating Committee
States That Life Preservers Were
in Accordance With Law
Steamer Queen Blamed

Washington, April 10 After u pro-
tracted consideration Of the disaster
by which more tnan hundred men.
women ana children lost their lives
off Cape Beale last January. the Va.
lencia commission has failed to fix the
responsibility for that heart rendIng
event.
The dead captain of the ill fated
steamer is blamed to a degree for the
striking of the vessel, but the faiule 6
who clung TO the wreck for days be-
tween life and watery grave must
remain forever subject of individual
discussion for all the light that is
thrown upon the matter fy these com
missioners.
Capt. Johnson, the master. now
dead, overran his course on account
of mistakes III navigation. Prope r
care would have revea led to MIN his
where apouts.
Broadly speaking, the Valencia ans
weIed the requirements of the law in
regard to life saving appliances.
Party who got ashore from the
wreck were not censurable for failing
to devise means to help the remaining
passengers to escape.
Report is wobbly on the question of
tie responsibility of rescue parties
sent to tie wreck and thu commission
finally straddlIes this important ques
tion.
Officers en- board the steamer Queen
are blamed for the departure of the
vessel for Victoria.

POOR WOMAN OFFERS
TO BARTER HER BRAIN
Driven by Poverty, She Is Will
ing to Sell Her Body
After Death.

RICHMOND Va. Dec. l6.-Mrs. NJ.
l.. Francis. who has offered 10 sell her
brain and body at death to universities
and colleges in this city, Philadelphia,
Chicago and New York, if she can real
ize sufficient money TO provide for the
rest of her life. said this afternoon that
she had been driven TO make this propo-
sltlon by poverty.
Mrs. Francis first made her offer to
hospitals in Richmond, but all declined
TO purchase. She says she is willing to
sign papers bequeathlng her brain or
her body or both to that university or
college that will pay at once the highest
cash sum.
Mrs. Francis, who is more than 40
years old, is the fourth wife of her
husband, who was incapacitated for
work several years ago by an accident,
and is now practically helpless. The
woman is broken in health, and entirely
dependent upon the small salary she re-
ccives as a clerk in a department store:
She says she had heard students of
medicine had only the bodies of erin
inals aud paupers 10 work upon, and 1t
occurred TO her the big universities
might pay considerable for the brain
of an intelligent person
Mrs. Francis saws she recently read
of one of the universities offering Sl0,-
600 for the head of a certain person,
and she would sell hers for that sum.
She is refined and cultured and has evil
dently known affluence.

come together on some common PLATFORM
or not, The spirit OF lifc has ebbed In
them. They offer no mission any longer
TO an ambitious man unless he wishes TO
become an apologist But Christianity
has long and carefully cultivated the
supernatural claims. II has waged long
and losing warfare with Science and
Common Sense In defense of, its super
that the new metaphysical cults should
reap the harvest so long and patiently
sown by TIE Church now that men can
no longer be hypnotized into believing In
her revelations.
But these eXploiters of Mind over Mat

that In the last analysis We cannot def

atom of former theories must now give
way to a theory OF electrons or whlring
centers of force. AT least there appears

theory that Mind is the ultimate force
moving, shaping and knowing matter; Al

The Woman In Business.

A New York real estate agent has
been telling of some of his business ex-
periences with women. Mrs. A, he
says, wanted to find house that would
fit her carpets and wasted several
weeks on the job. Mrs. B. had six
children of her own, but wanted a
guarantee that no other children would
be allowed in the building. Mrs. c..
signed a lease with a clause that no
dogs should be brought in and then
deliberately brought several into her
family and told the agent such restric-
tons in a lease were of no account
'Do you wonder" he asks, that men
do not like to deal with womenW Of
course, however, Massachusetts wO-
men would never do anything like
that.-Boston Globe.

KNOW THY COUNTRY.
A Precept That Every Citizen should
Take TO Heart


Juvenal said, This precept descends
from heaven-know myself" To this
we add-know thy country. Know its
area, its population, its products, ma
tive and exclusive, agricultural and
mineral Know it's present output and
its possibilities. Know its states, its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for. Know
its geography and Typography, its con-
stitution, principles and history, its
literature, its art and its sciences, its
philosophy, discoveries and inventions.
Know its relation to other nations,
both political and financial. Know its
possessions = Alaska, Hawaii. Porto
Rico and the Philippines-theirh history
severally, the customs and languages
of their people and the sources of their
wealth. Many men know these things
now and love their country and are serv-
iceable to their fellow citizens in pro-
portion to their knowledge 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of so called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
lfe's purpose is to make the utmost Of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another is developing
his country's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
to other lives, there are relish and a
delight in the search for knowledge
that compensate Il thousandfOld.

1t is to India and to the Arabs as
middlemen that Europe, and through
Europe America, owe the orange. The
orange crossed from Africa to Spain
with Mohammedanism, while probably
the crusaders are to be thanked for
bringing it to Italy and western Eu-
rope among their trophies of the east.
The very name is really Arabic-"na-
ranjv-and of eastern origin, though
the legend that it comes from two
words meaning elephant" and 'be
H." because elephants ate oranges to
make themselves i'll, is absurd. Prob
ably in French the initial "n" Is drop
ped off from naranj, with the final
''n'' of the indefinite article, just as
our "an apron" represents ga napron,"
and the spelling with an 'o'' points to
false association with cor" (gold).-

An Ideal Bath.

An ideal combination is to soap the
body all over, using tepid water before
plunging into a cold bath. But there
are many good folks who cannot face
a cold bath daily and who after taking
one are apt. to be cold and shivering
all the day through. For these the best
plan is, after a warm bath, to sponge
the throat and chest with cold water,
which lis most stimulating and espe-
cialIy so where the bather suffers from
chronic colds To insist on cold bath
Is just as unwise as to have bath
that is too warm and to remain in it
too long. That is the more general
mistake.

The cupey, or. as II is sarcastically
called in the English possessions, 1.-The

as IL is one of the most picturesque,
denizens of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. 1t belongs to the
parasitical family OF trees or plants;
but. terrible TO relate, it invariably,
with the basest ingratitude, destroys
all life in the unfortunate tree that
cherishes it in its early growth The
seeds are borne on the wings Of the
wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst into
roots. which are dropped toward the
ground all around the nurse" tree.
In time these roots reach the ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they resem-

a great cord, which twines around the
trunk of the supporting tree, at first as

tighter and tighter, eventually stran-
Cling its benefactor out Of existence
The nurse tree thus killed rots to de-
cay, and from the immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high into the
air. When cupey is full grown il
presents a magnificent spectacle, for
the cordlike root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet and supports in midair the
vast tree itself
