THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.

Convicts Prostrated.

During the recent hot weather l2 conyicts at work in the various con struction camps and public works within the State suffered heat pros tration. according to Dr. R. L. Russell phvsician of the Arkansas penlten- tiary. There are now 29 cases in the penitentiary hospital, and many ol these are due to the warm weather. Where prostrations did not occur the men were debilitated by the high tenn perature. Nearly all who were pros trated were white men.

 No appropriation has been made according to law except the S1,00O,00O, although the levy has been made to produce a fund to be used in payment of the capitol building, when it is properly appropriated
 Two sessions of the legislature have met and adjourned since the appropriation inquired about made. There is why they should not have extended the appropriation made new ones according to the right and nee essity of the case, and their not having done so, warrants no official because of their failure and because of the authority to build the state capitol at a cost of a certain sum, and because the money is in the treasury to be paid therefor when appropriated, in saying that an appropriation has been made, or in saying in the face of the constitution that the appropria tion did not expire, lapse and become unavailable at the end of the period of two years from the time it was made, or on April 16, 1905. There has been no appro- priation of money since that day, and no money has been legally expended upon the work of the capitol since the expiration of said appro- priatiOn.
 The new capitol must be completed The people through their legislature have said 1t was needed. They have authorized it to be built at fixed and limited by the law and contract. they have ample money to com plete the building in accordance with their contract already made but this department will not say that more money can be expended for such purpose than appropriated, nor will it say directly in the teeth of the con stitution, the paramount law, that the money in the state capitol fund in the treasury can be paid for the completion of this work, except by an act of the legislature appropriating it in accordance with the constitutional require ments.
 This condition is regretable, but the legsla- ture and the capitol commissioners were the officials charged with this important duty, and they alone could have remedied it.

In Praise of the Pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article why good New Englanders should stick to pie, and calls attention to the fact that Emerson ate it three times a day and says that pie is the ladder by which New England has climbed to it's place of proud eminence. She questions whether any sensible perl son was ever known to forage at the midnight hour for predigested cereals or the innocuous prune. She does not believe that many New England ances-l tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but counsels all to go on pie-eatlng, despite the fact that the fiat has gone forth that it is vulgar to eat pie.

Princess of Trinidad.

Those who share the prosperity Of
that eccentric Englishman known as
Baron Hardin-Hickey and likewise as
James l. of Trinidad should interest
themselves, it is remarked, in the ca
reer Of his only daughter, Reina Har-
din Hickey, who lives In New York.
The girl was named Reina when her
father thought she would succeed him
in reigning over the barren rock Of
Trinidad. She Is an attractive young
woman with a glorious soprano voice.
She was trained in Paris and Italy,
and why she has not attained
fame and fortune in grand opera
is what her friends cannot COM
prehend. They assert that women
with voices Of less power and sweet
ness are singing in the celebrated
opera houses. Miss Hardin-Hickey en-.
joyed brief popularity in Washington,
but she fed from the prominence given
to ragtime and other light kinds of
melody. She is a disciple of the clas-
sic and Is absolutely uncompromising
in that respect.-Chlcago Daily News.

The style Is the Renaissance of the
present Partisan school. In color 1t Is
to be light cream, with inlays of Alps

plentiful use Of potted cedars and bay
and olive trees as accessory decora-

A commodlous garage with ample
quarters for help Is also to be built,
on lines In harmony with the house,
on the lower end Of the grounds. Be-
tween the two, the most extensive Ital-
ian garden in the west Is to be laid out
and when completed the ensemble will
be an ever pleasing source Of delight.
The house stands on a bluff, over
looking the Bay of San Diego, and will
have an unobstructed view Of the ocean
on one side, and the mountains on the
other. Deep, shady porches on all
sides Of the house have been made a
feature Of the design because Of this
unsurpassed view.
The interior scheme calls for SIM

Typhoid fever Is a preventable dis
Ease; so absolutely preventable, indeed,
that it is no exaggeration to say that
somebody Is to blame for every case
that occurs, although, so devious are
the ways by which the germ travels
from its source to its destination, 1t Is
often very difficult to place the blame
where 1t belongs. 1t Is, broadly speak
ing, a country disease that Is, the first
cases in an epidemic In a city are al
most always attributable to contain
inatlon Of the milk supply, or Of the
water supply at its origin or along its
course In the country. After the dis
ease has got well under way it may be
spread broadcast by other means-hies,
for example.
In certain parts of the country 1t
usually prevails more or less all the
time in the form of isolated cases, but
in cities 1t often breaks out In epidemic
form. Apart from the water or milk
contamination, typhoid fever Is not In
frequently carried to the city on sal
ads and vegetables that are eaten raw.
The disease begins In from one to
two weeks after the injecting material
has been taken into the stomach. The
first symptoms are ndeflnite-head-
ache, loss Of appetite, sometimes slight
chills, and a general listlessness and
loss of strength. These symptoms In
crease in severity for a week, accom-
panied by steadily rising fever, higher
In the evening than in the morning.
Darrhoea Is frequent; the headache Is
often exceedingly acute.
AS the disease progresses the physi-
cal forces are greatly depressed. The
tongue and mouth are dry, there Is ex-
cessive thirst, and there may be delir-
ium. In very severe cases the patient
lies on his back, low in the bed, NUT
tering indistinctly and plucking aim
lessly at the bed clothes.
In favorable cases Improvement
comes In the third or fourth week. The
fever declines, the tongue becomes
moist, the patient takes an interest In
his surroundings, and as convalescence
is established, begins to clamor for
food.
In no disease is careful nursing SO
important as in typhoid fever. Indeed,
in many cases it may be said the pa
tlent owes his life more to the nurse
than to the doctor, although with equal
truth it may be said that In no dis
ease Is the constant watchfulness of
the physician more needed.
But the duties Of the nurse are not
confined to caring for the patient, She
has the grave responsibility upon her
of protecting others from contagion
The poison Is thrown off in the dis
charges from the bowels and bladder,
and these should be kept for at least
two hours in a vessel containing an
equal amount Of some powerful disn-
fectant before being thrown away

ground in any place where the rain
would wash them into a stream or well
or cistern. They had better be thrown
