Proverbs Of Ind.

Before thou hast forded the river. o
 Brother, Revile not unduly the Crocodile's
 mother. Old Hassan turns from craft and vice To con the Korans page. The cat has killed a thousand mice And makes pilgrimage. The torrid sun melts mountain snows. When Anger comes, then Wisdom goes. Foil till your blood is cold, Drudge till the grave is won; Man is the slave of Gold Gold is the slave of none. The rope is burned: It's twistings still The pallid ash retains. The man is dead: What good or i'll He wrought in life remains What's in the melons heart the knife
 blade knows Whats in the soul the sword of Sorrow
 shows, Free comradeship was ours in work and
 play;
 Our friendship strengthened till, we
 knew not how, IL grew Io AoNe-DuI LONS iidy hsbNS itS We shared one sorrow-what can part
 us now! live between perils, abandoned by
 friends, Like an ant on a firestick lit at both
 ends! By diverse creeds we worship, thou The Ear of One Alone receives our
 prayer Each turns his face in longing toward
 the sky
 To see his secret soul reflected there. The King shall beg, the beggar mount
 the throne; Earth laughs at him who calls a place
 his own. The wondrous ways of Love are known To none but Loves adept; And tears have language, clear alone To him whose eyes have wept. Beware the foe that falleth back; The goats retreat prepares attack. The Fool met Fate: Fair maiden, say Where goest thou?" quoth he. And Fate replied, Hold on thy way, Thou man--I follow thee' Paint on water, blow the sky, Wash the wind; or. thrice as blindlv, Trust a trifler, trace lie, Treat selfish craven kindly. Toll and hoard in sweat and fear? Moneys good-but much too dear. Terror turks along the way, Horror where the moon is white, Fear upon the hills by day Dread behind the door at night, Small ills are tho fountains Of most oF our groans, Men trip not on mountains, They stumble OCT stones. Gems are lustrous, Youth Is bold;
 This IS sure Pearls grow yellow, men grow oldr-

DAVID TORRANCE.

To begin a career as a humble worker in a Connecticut cotton mill and to end jt as chief justice of the State of Con- necttcut is a notable achievement. This was done by David Torrance, who died yesterday. Mr. Torrance's life was full of industry, zeal, honorable ambition and honest success. He showed his quality when a young man by being a good soldier in the war for the Union, and he won promotion in the army by fitness and hard work. And so after the war was ended he won promotion in civil life His record as a lawyer was marked by a high-minded appre- ciation of the dignity and duty of his profession, and by clean and successful practice His ability and character made him conspicuous and brought him into public life. He was useful both as a legislator and State officer. Then be- gan the work for which he was perhaps best fitted, that of sitting in judgment. For quarter of a century he served as judge, first in the Court of Con- mon Pleas, then in the Superior court and then In the Supreme court. In all this time he was conspicuously and greatly trusted and honored for his knowledge of law and the calrnness, soundness and justice with which he applied it. Lawyers, litigants and the State have a large loss in his death
 Mir. Torrance was true and discern- ing patriot, a thoroughly good citizen, and a friendly and companionable man. He had the hearty respect and approv- al of his fellow citizens and he well de- served them.

BAD FOR ENGLAND.

The women of this country have been
 scolded a good deal lately, and it may be that they have deserved some of the scolding. But we have not noticed anything said of them and to them quite so definite as the remarks of a London physician of good standing concerning inebriety among English
 women. He says that fifty per cent. of women drink more alcohol than is good for them Not only mothers, but the children are affected, he declares. and adds that "the woman who be- comes intoxicated is not the hopeless case, but the society woman who can drink large quantity of spirits and still keep her head" He asserts that "the woman drunkards of to-day are the grown-up tipplers of twenty years ago." and attributes the increase of feminine intemperance to "the teach ing of children to acquire a taste for strong liquors" How the children are taught he indicates by saying: T re- cently dined with a family where the children were present at dessert, The baby, a child of four years, climbed on his fathers knees, and, snatching at glass of benedictine, swallowed the contents at one gulp. For a moment his eyes filled with tears, then he heKd out his glass, crying 'Good-more,' A

ELECTRIC VEG ETABLES.

We have seen what electricity has done but we have only just begun to see what it can do. By spreading cur rents from an electrical machine over plot of growing carrots Professor Lemstroem of Helsingfors has increased the yield by 39 per cent. during the first year and 90 per cent. in succeeding years, as compared with similar plots not electrically treated. On small par cells of land experiments with potatoes, the currents being generated in the earth by means of copper and zinc plates sunk at intervals and connected by insulated wires above the growing vines, have recorded an increased yield of from 50 to 100 per cent The large harvests of spitzbergen and Fin land-more bountiful than in districts lying much further south-have been attributed by many scientists to the electrical influence of the aurora bore alis. These phenomena occasioned the artificial experiments of Prof. Lem- stroenl, which tend conclusively to show that the action of electricity is beneficial to growing and ripening veg citation.
 What electrical stimulation will do to the generous earth remains to be seen. l. |, wont hurt it farming is soon going to be much different than it has been,

It Is told that when the son of one of Boston's rich men, whose business the young man set out to learn from the ground up, asked what was the object of his assignment for a month to a particularly laborious and disagreeable task, from which there was apparently nothing to learn that related to the general business, his shrewd father re- piled: Simply that you may under- stand what some people in the world have to do to earn a dollar-an im- portant part in your all-round educa- tion."

There is delay in getting under con- struction the new detention buildings at the Naval Training Station at New port, R. I. Bids were opened some days ago in the bureau of navigation for the work, and the lowest bid was then found to be more than $1OOOo higher than the amount of the appropriation The plans called for better buildings than could be constructed for the sum available, and 1t will be necessary to revise the specifications before the con- tract can be awarded This unexpected difference between the estimates and the bids is due to the fact that the cost of material for building purposes has materially increased and to the ap- pllcation of the law limiting the work ing day to eight hours on all public work. The detention buildings are nec- essary for the promotion and mainte- nance of health in the naval service, and it is regarded as important that they be provided without much delay. It will afford an opportunity to "colo- nize" the newly arriving recruits for a time before they are sent out to the ships and before they are placed in training at Newport,

Nothing that has been said, remarks the London Financial Times, usually a cautious critic, in discussing the Union Pacific dividend declaration, "has serv- ed the purpose of robbing the event of it's appearance of trickery, and though such occugrences do cause excitement and sensational developments of the market at the time, they cannot, in the long run, encourage the public to give its support, and certainly tend to dis- courage anybody outside the United States from committing themselves to speculations in American stocks"

Muskogee. |. T.. Nov. i6--The entire
time today of the senate Indian COM
mittee was devoted 10 hearing argu-
ments IN favor OF removing the restrlc-
tons placed on the sale OF Indian lands.
The morning session was productive OF
much feeling.
Col. Robert L. owen, a Cherokee by
blood, a prominent attorney and a can
didato for the United States senate,
said IN s.oly to a question as TO wheth-
er he had ever had his restrictions re-
moved II am as free a citizen as any

The fault of this government which
controls the Indian Territory lies In
the frallty OF human nature which
leads a man TO believe that he can
govern a people better than they can
govern themselves"
Then Senator Teller OF Colorado,
speaking with great feeling, declared:
THE system is wrong. II Is lmpos-
slble for the secretary Of the Interior
to know anything about It, It's clerk
here and clerk there. The system Is
wrong
Senator Teller said that the present
system, whereby the restrictions are
