and secure a new one in order to get
rid of them. The campaign vas vigor-

This is a notable victory. Knox

The cause of temperance is advanc-

the cities from it's first winnings in
the small towns and country commu-
mites, may be expected soon to con-

now among it's most outspoken advo-
Gates.
But these two states do not stand

Long Distance Skee Races.

AS test of skill, strength and en-
durance it would be difficult to beat
the long distance skee races in Norway
and Sweden. OF these contests the
most severe is undoubtedly the twelve
mile race over the mountains which
opens the great annual "Snow Derby"
at Holmenkollen, about four miles
from Christiania. In this race, which
begins with steep ascent Of 400 to
500 feet, the skee lobner has to jump
clefts and ravines, to hop over fallen
tree trunks and overcome every kind
of obstacle that man can devise; to
rush down steep declivities and to
make his devious way through noun
tain forests until he reaches the goal,
triumphant, but utterly exhausted.
Considering the arduous nature Of
these contests, some Of the perform
ances are remarkable. Thus the win
ner of an international speed competi-
ton held at. Stockholm covered the
course of forty miles at an average
speed of eight and one-half miles an
hour

Holes In the leus.

A scientist says that hogs legs per-
form function not known to any 9th
er animal, and that is an escape pipe
or pipes for the discharge of waste
water or sweat not used in the econ
omy Of the body. These escape pipes
are situated upon the inside Of the
legs, above and below the knee in the
fore legs and above the gambrel joints
in the hind legs, but in the latter they
are very small and functions light
Upon the inside of the fore leg they
are in the healthy hog always active,
so that moisture is always there from
about or below these orifices or ducts
in the healthy hog. The holes in the
leg and breathing in the hog are his
principal and only means of ejecting
an excess of heat above the normal,
and when very warm the hog will open
the mouth and breathe through that
channel as well as the nostrils.

PROMINENT ALlENISTS APPEAR
BEFORE LUNAcY COMMISSION
IN THE THAW CASE.
10MBS OFFICIALS ALSO ON The STAND
PRiSONER'S ATTENDANTS SAY
HE ALWAYS ACTED IN A
RATIONAL MANNER.

New York, April 3-The commits
sion in lunacy which is inquiring into
the present state of mind Of Harry X.
Thaw allowed DR.. Allan McLane Ham.
1ltor to testify as to what he knows of
Thaw's mental condition. This action
was taken over the continued protest
of the defendants attorneys.
DR.. Hamilton declared it to be his
belief that Thaw is suffering from a
progressive form of paranoia or de-
lusional insanity and declared the
opinion that the defendant is not capa-
BILE of realizing the nature Of the
charges against him.
Many attaches of the Tombs testi-
fed that they had never seen Thaw
do anything irrational.
At the afternoon session DR.. Austin
Flint expressed the opinion that Thaw
was incapable of understanding the
charge against him or of advising
counsel and that he was suffering
from paranoia, with original delusions
of persecution now passing into delu-
sions of grandeur. Twenty or more
pages of memoranda prepared by
Thaw as suggestions to counsel were
submitted to DR.. Flint, they including
newspaper clippings and speech by
President Roosevelt denouncing "the
heinous crime of rape" and this latter
Thaw recommended be used in the
summing up. After examining these
memoranda DR.. Flint said they had
an important bearing upon his opinion
that Thaw is now insane.
Dr. William Mabon, another of the
states experts, said Thaw was incapa.
BILE of understanding the charge
against him or of nationally advising
his counsel. DR.. Mabon admitted he
had never examined the prisoner and
would not commit TO an asylum any
one whom he had not examined as to
his sanity He conceded with Dr.
Flint as to Thaw's insanity from the
medical standpoint and sanity in the
meaning of the law.
Dr.. William Hirsch declared his
opinion that Thaw was suffering from
an incurable form of paranoia.

SunfIower Most DeceitfuI of Plants.


'The sunf1ower," said a naturalist,
lis the most deceitful of all plants, for
it has fooled six nations. Six nations
believe that the sunfower turns to-
ward the sun, and so thoroughly are
they deluded that they call it by a
name which bears witness to their err
ror. Thus, the French call the sun
flower tournesol; the Spanish call it
girasol the Italians call it girasole;
the Hungarians call it naptaforgo.
Each Of these words means turn to
the SUM- The English and Americans
don't go quite that far in admitting
themselves to be the plants dupes.
They only call it sunflower. They
mean by that name, though, quite as
much as the other names imply. The
belief is general among six nations
that the sunflower turns with the sun
and always faces the lu1ninary. AS a
matter of fact, there is only one flower
that turns Or keeps with the sun
namely, the sun spurge."

REPUBLICANS VICTORIOUS.
State Ticket Elected by a Large Me-

oeesS 'SNSs .tSSISO NY Large L.

Detroit, April 3.-The Republican
state ticket has received a majority Of
about $4,000 according to the latest
returns. The successful candidates on
the state ticket are:
Supreme court justices, Aaron V.
McAlvay and William L. Carpenter;
regents of the state university, Junius

member of the state board of educa-
ton, William A. Cotton.
There was little interest except in
those cities which had a local fight
and in the Fifth congressional dis
trict, where the Republicans voted on
a candidate to stand at the special
election to elect successor in con-
gress to William Alden Smith. G. J.

Huntley Russell were the candidates
for the nomination and Chairman
