The announcement was made yester-
day that Commissioner BINGHAM Of the

scribed a new form of oath which must

xion in the police Tore.
This oath is said to he ito The effect

viii obey the rules and regulations ot the
department and that he will also make

II there is a copy of the Constitution
of the State of New York at Police Head
quarters the head of the police depart
ment had better send for it and read
section I Of Article XuL
I There he will find prescribed the form
of oath to be taken by appointive and
elective officers in this State, followed by
these significant words: And no other
oath. declaration or test shall be required
as a qualification for any office of public
trust
II is evident that Commissioner BING-
HAMS new oath is designed as a test Of
fitness for the office to which the Candi-
date seeks promotion; for his secretary
A. reported as saying: Every man of
every class in this department will have
TO sign this affidavit when he is a Candi-
date for promotion or he will not get the
advancement at all.
IL is equally manifest that If the Com
missioner enforces any such requirement
he will be acting in violation Of the Con-
astitution of the State of New York, which
he himself has sworn TO obey.

FARMING I'm RhOdesta

A while ago the farmers Of southern
RhOdesia held their third annual con-
gress. The proceedings show that these
pioneers have great faith in the future
of their industry. They are meeting the
trials and p~erplexities that befall all fore
runners of civilization in the wilderness,
but they believe that no land in South
| Africa Is 90 suitable as theirs for agricul-
tural development; and according to the
Government estimates there are about
As, 1000, 900 acres adapted for crops and
stock raising.
The first settlers Of seventeen years ago
gave little thought TO tilling the soil.
They were after minerals and pegged out
prospective mines on nearly every kopje.
Most Of them did not find the EldoradO
they were seeking and a few tried to
earn a living from the soil and we're called
fools for their pains. Il was q bitter ex-
perience, for they had everything TO
learn in that new land; but gradually
| they found out whore and what to plant,
when to SOW and when to reap. Rail
roads rendered communication easier,
oApcIicNCb ulbuc EpSuAOo UuOE0 CcIbhln
and cattle increased in a remarkable
manner
As an established industry farming in
southern Rhodesia Is less than five years
old, but there are row more than one
thousand British farmers in the coun-
try, most Of them earning a good living,
many adding substantially to their bank
accounts and all convinced that no other
enterprise in RhOdesia will yield SO good
a return IA a farm properly developed.
Only one and a half per cent. Of the farm
ers have failed TO reduce their indebted
ness and establish themselves on a good
footing.
They are living on a plateau so high
! above the sea that though far toward
| the equator they have a temperate eli
mate, raise European cereals from wheat
to corn and most OF the northern fruits.
The farmers are rather proud Of some
anomalies in their occupation. They
plant potatoes in September and Febru-
airy, have their ostrich as well as cattle
farms and are going into wool growing in
attitudes where sheep usually do not

ANOTHER INSOMNIA CURE.

A cable dispatch from Paris tells of
the invention by Swiss workman Of
a bed 50 devised that 1t will lull one
to almost instant sleep and wake
him at any desired hour 1t Is explain
ed that as soon as .)na lies down on it
the pressure Of the body sets it into
motion hidden mechanism and the
beautiful, dreamy "Berceuse'' by God
dard is heard. This lasts long enough
for the wakefrl person to be lulied In
to gentle slumber.
At the head of the bed clock is
fixed and the hands are placed at
the hour one wishes to rise. The next
morning. at the hour indicated, the
bed begins to play Wagnerian waltz
with trumpets, trombones. yolins,
cellos, ETC., which makes enough noise
to wake even the soundest sleeper
OF course If the sleeper insisted tho
classical airs might be replaced with
Waltz Me Around Again Willie .
and please Go Way and Let Me
Sleep"
The humble Swiss. workman should
make all haste to place his invention
On the market. Papa could then
throw the baby on the bed and turn
en- the soft pedal, thus relieving
himself Of his nightly musical walks.
And then if the baby cried too hard
he could turn Wagner loose and
drown out the infant serenade.
1t would never work in a hotel or
fat, though, for some early riser
would be sure to wake up the house
by turning on the trombone and trum-
pets too soon.

WHY BE FAT?

Lillian Russell retains her standing
as one of the worlds most beautiful
woman although her name was never
even mentioned in the beautiful wo-
man contests lately in vogue in the
Podunk Photographer and other more
Or less metropolitan papers. But late
ly the popular prima donna has been
worried. The plumpness which was
always one Of ner greatest charms
threatened to give way to fat. She
found a remedy, though, which may
be explained in her own words:
The first thing in the morning
Jump out Of bed, don a sweater, get
down on the floor and start to roll It's
pretty strenuous, but the results are
wonderful. In three weeks I lost sew
enteen pounds, and rolling did the
work. OF course you can't do 1t long.
for It's very exhausting exercise. but
Il regularly every morning you take a
good roll you will soon fade away into
a. mere shadow"
It's simple, isn't it? Nothing to do
but roll out Of bed in the morning and
! then roll around the room few laps
to rub off some Of the excess baggage
carried
OF course this remedy could not be
prescribed for all It would be excel
lent treatment for Bill Taft or Grover
Cleveland but imagine the bumps
Charlie Fairbanks would get If he
should try it.

INDIAN CORN.

growing in America when the white
man arrived. the world had known
nothing about 1t before. The natives
had planted 1t for generations in Mex
leo and Peru. It's progress from that
time as food product has been steady
but not rapid. Europe has been slow
to consider 1t as food for man. Corn
Is product peculiar to the colder eli
mates. And anything grown in the
colder climates is characterized by
solidity and substances.
It is plant of annual growth and
the soil gives more to 1t than it gives
