They Like CIarkston.

While visiting the Lewiston-Clarks-
ton fair the News editor had the pleas
ure Of seeing several old Troyites, and
was shown over Charleston by Robt.
Plunkett and Thomas Stinson, both of
whom are farming two and half acre
tracts in the western side of Clarkston.
Both have fine homes, and both are
enthusiastic over their new location.
Mr.. Plunkett gave US sample of his
apples, and for size and flavor we had
10 admit (to ourself) that Clarkston
apples are as fine as can be grown in
any country. While there was partial
failure there both Mr.. Plunkett and
Mr.. Stinson had very good crops, and
were entirely satisfied with their new
locations. 1t was quite evident to us
that Charleston is a great place for all
kinds Of berries, and produces veget-
ables just little larger than we ever
before saw. Mr.. Stinson declares that
his pumpkins and squash were so large
this year that it required hoist to get
them into his hay NOV. They were
monsters. And lying just outside the
kitchen door at the Stinson place was q
pile of cucumbers so large that if We
told our readers just how big they
really were we would be put down a;
an awful liar.

About Corot.

In a notice of Corot the greatest
of French landscape painters, a writ
er in Parsons recalls that during
the revolution of 1848 the artist re-
manned in his studio quietly working,
despite the incessant firing In fact,
he was SO absorbed in his painting
that he knew nothing of the changes
of government in 1851 until three
months after the fall of the republic.
He was past eighty when he died,
yet he loved life, and used to say he
hoped he would live to be a hundred
and could paint up to the last day. A
short while before he died, as he lay
on his bed, looking out Of the win
dow, he said in a feeble voice: When
the spring comes I will paint beau
tiful picture. l see a sky full or
roses Resting a moment, he was
seen to gather his fingers together as
if holdin brush, then there was a
movement as if he were painting

Mhere He Drew the Line.

Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri his

story about the famous Governor
Claiborne F. Jackson.

after another, five sisters. The thing
is incredible, but it is a fact.
When for the fifth time Claiborne
jackson preached a marital proposition
to his father-in-law the old man was
80 and quite deaf. This is the m
versation that ensued:

Goats New Government Wards.

Our agricultural explorers who
visit every corner of the earth in pLr-
suit OF new an6 useful plants, have
had instructions during recent years
to keep a sharp lookout for available
beasts and birds. Uncle Samuel has
been making extraordinary efforss to
obtain from various parts of the
world rare and valuable varieties OF
domestic animals, and within the past
few years one of his newly developed
tastes has been for goats. AMI t. a
considerable extent this kind Of enter
prise has been helped by private md
viduals, Rene Bache, writing in The
Technical World Magazine tells an
entertaining story of the Importation
of goats into this country and of the
benefits that are expected from them.

are found, the authorities will not al

From Washington, north to Winnie
peg and south to Ell Paso there seems
to have been this year and unusual
amount Of typhoid fever in a cOnsid-
reable number of cities; and, what IS
more remarkable, failure TO satisfac-
torily account for the epidemlcs.
Washington's case is perhaps the
most remarkable, because the IN
crease in number of cases over the
record OF previous years has contlnu-
ed in spite of the fact that new
sand filter had just been placed in
service and was yielding excellent
archaeological results. At present
the epidemic seems to have subsidized,
although the number of cases is still
greater than a year ago; and this al
though unusual efforts have been
made for months to control all pos
sible sources of infection At SCran-
ton, Pa, there have been about a
thousand cases during the last month,
and here also the reason is in doubt,
although it is believed by the State
Board of Health that one of the
sources of water supply has been
polluted by typhoid bacteria washed
from the watershed. In Winnepeg
the public water supply is derived
from driven wells, the contamination
of which seems impossible; and yet
here have been approximately two
thousand cases OF typhoid in that city
during the past year.
In two OF these cases, therefore
the infection has most certainly been
connected in no way with the water
supply, and in the third such connec-
| ton is not fully established. So much
emphasis has recently been laid upon
the necessity Of preventing the dis
! tribution of typhoid bacteria by the
public water supply that there is dan
ger that the public. and even sanitar-
fans, may forget that this is by no
means the only possible medium OF
distribution; and many. even of the
educated, are too likely to reason that

these cases is that attention should

the other causes are Of local effect

tensive action of one of these may be

the local boards should remain con-

citizens from dangerous milk, oysters

own carelessness; and councils
should uphold their hands and assist

SUICIDES INCREASE.

There were less than third as
many lynchings last year as there
were fourteen years ago. From the
235 mob murders in 1892 to the 72
of 1906 is certainly an encouraging
advance.
There is another encouraging fea-
ture to the lynching record for last
year. There were no burnings at the
stake.
The record is not yet anything to
brag about But there is this to be
proud of-the efforts for law and or
der was steadily growing stronger
and the public condemnation Of all
men who keep afiame the passions
of the mob is rapidly increasing.
Murder too, is declining in this
country, measured by increase Of
population There were $3.50 last
year, against 9,212 the year before
a slight increase in number but a
proportional decline.
While lynchings and homicides
have declined, suicides have in
creased. In the year there were
more than 10000 suicides.
AS yet the suicide rate in the
United States does not equal the rate
in France, Germany or Austria. Our
homicide rate still far exceeds that
of England or the principal CONT
mental countries.
In the lynching neighborhoods
there are few suicides. Mississippi
leads the states in lynchings and has
almost no suicides.
Also suicides were rarest in the
sections where there were the most
hOmicides.
