THE prospect of war with Japan,

VIRGINIA cannot accommodate
it's sports at poker sitting, under
the edict of the administration, but
the slot machine-the worst graft

fraternity - still does business in
every saloon in the city. Can you
guess why?
ARGYLE, the Duluth would-be

of the "brainstorm" defense has

WEALTH FROM JUNK.
Thieves Are Reaping Rich Har
vest from San Francisco Ruins.

Thieves Are Reaping a Rich Har-
vest from San Francisco Ruins. y
Copper wire to the value of $500 was
stolen from the Postal Telegraph Com
panys( former Office about II O'Clock
Wednesday night. A gang of five men
carried fifteen coils of wire to wag-
on, which was driven by member of
the gang, and before the arrival Of a
patrol wagon loaded with policemen,
under Detective Sergeant Ed Gibson,
the thieves escaped with their booty.
Not only the telegraph companies but
the United Railroads and Telephone
Company have been heavy losers from
the depredations of well-organized
band of junk thieves, who determine in
favor of the more valuable junk, such
as copper wire and brass findings.
A ready market is found for this loot,
some junk dealers making no scruples
about purchasing all that is brought to
them. The wire is melted into crude
ingots and sent to the Eastern smelt-
erS.
The methods of the thieves in loot
Ing the ruins In the burned district are
extremely simple. Several members of
the gang search the ruins, and, after
selecting such pieces of junk as will
command the highest price, cast 1t into
the street. 1t is an easy matter for
others to gather the junk without at
tracing attention.
Boys have been engaged by junk
dealers to pick up bits of copper, and
in this way have contributed largely to
making the business of the junk men
lucrative.
Great piles of junk of all descriptions
are piled in the courtyard in the rear
Of the police headquarters at the Low
ell High School. In the days imme-
dlately following the fire the police
confiscated quantities of junk and
made a great number Of arrests. The
men arralgned in the police courts are
fined a nominal sum, which is quickly
paid.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Now and again one Of the hundreds

prominence because of public interest in
something with which he may be con-

has taken many ships through the mar
row strait without attracting public at
tentlon. But he steered the dry dock
Dewey through the canal, bulk so
large that it practically filed the whole
width of the waterway at the depth re-
quired to float 1t, and did not let 1t
touch bottom once. Now the naval Of
ficer in command has mentioned the old
Greek in his report, praising him In I'M

Snalke-Bites.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are many poisonous snakes in this
country, cases of snake-bite are not
common. They occur frequently
enough, however, to make it worth ev-
cry farmers or'country roamer's white
to familiarize himself with the poison
out effects upon the body of snake ven
ON, and the best means to overcome
those effects
The most common of the poisonous
snakes in this country are the coral
snakes, the copperhead, the water-moc-
casin, and many varieties of rattle
snakes. The symptoms of poisoning
vary somewhat according to the variety
Of snake, and also to the state of the
weather and the condition which the
snake is in at the time. The poisonous
effects are more marked, the hotter the
weather at the time; and the bite of a
well-fed snake is more harmful than
that of one which is fasting.
The symptoms of snake-bite are both
local and general. In the case of rat
tlesnake-blte, the local symptoms con-
sist In severe pain and very great dis
coloration about the wound, due to the
suffusIon Of blood under the skin. The
part becomes greatly swollen, and may
even mortify.
The general symptoms come on quite
rapidly. Sometimes within ten or twen-
ty minutes Of the bite there is rapid
and weak pulse, the victim is nauseat-
ed often vomits, staggers as he walks,
land suffers from marked and increaS-
ing prostration. Death may occur di-
rectly from the action of the venom, or
1t may follow later, and be due to. pros
tration resulting from the gangrene oc
curing at the site of the bite.
Recovery, which occurs in about
three-quarters of the cases of rattle
| snake-poisoning even when untreated,
is very prompt, the symptoms of de-
preston disappearing as rapidly as
| they came on.
When one has been bitten by a pol.
sonous snake, the first thing to do is to
prevent the entrance of the poison into
the general circulation, which is to be
done by tying a cord or strip of cloth
as tightly as possible about the limt
above the bite; then the part bitten
should be cut freely with sharp knife
with two or three cross-cuts, so that II
will bleed freely.
Sucking the wound Is good for the
victim, but dangerous for the person
who does it, for the poison may be alb
sorbed through any small abrasion neal
the mouth.
The elimination Of the poison thai
may have been obsorbed should be pro
NOTED by the use of purgatives, ano
| wrapping the victim in blankets witt
hot bottles to promote perspiration. AL
cohol Is Of service in moderate quaint
| ties, but it should never be taken il
amount sufficient to produce intoxica
tion.-Youth's Companion.

Ethnologists say, as the resllt OF
their observations, that the racial diff
ferences which exist among mankind
are very slight once we get below the
surface. Taking humanity as a whole,
1t Is said that one man will fight as
bravely as another up to a certainpoint,
that courage Is a common attribute of
all mankind and that fundamental ethi-
cal considerations are respected to the
same extent by all the tribes Of men.
1t is found, in short, that the difference
between the man of one nation and the
man of another nation is not essential
but temperamental This conclusion re-
ceives frequent confirmation. In the
steamship disaster off the Spanish coast
few weeks ago the obvious deficiency
was not lack of courage upon the part
of the officers and crew but lack of
discipline and self-control. The Latin
temperament Is not the temperament
for sudden and menacing emergencies.
1t is the temperament of impulse of en-.
thusiasm, Of ebullient bravery. 1t lacks
the self-poise and imperturbability OF
the northern character Take them man
for man and it is probable that the crew
of the Sirio would have charged for
form hope with greater intrepidity than
an equal number of Scandinavians OF
Englishmen or Americans or Germans
would have done. That is because the
Latin temperament lacks the calculat.
ing quality which estimates danger. But
confronted with peril in which the
spectacular and emotional elements
were wanting the Italian sailors lost
their heads. They "went to pieces" to
use a colloquiallsm, not from lack of
courage but from temperamental inabil-
ity to confront the unexpected. We
may say, In other words, that the Latin
temperament is not the seafaring tenn
permanent. When matched against the
Teutonic races on the ocean the Latins
have gone down to defeat. The irwin
chile armada strewed its shattered tim
bers on the shores of the British ISL
ands. The navles of Napoleon were
forever undoing at sea the victories of
that matchless commander ashore. The
galleys of the Romans were more trans
ports than war vessels. The Latin
fights and fights vallantly, but he pre-
fers to fight men instead of wind and
wave, and he prefers to fight men on
land instead of on the sea. But this, as
we have pointed out, is no impugnment
OF his courage; 1t Is merely phase of
his temperament. The temperate zone
breeds men of slower Imagination but
OF consequently greater sang froid than
are bred in warmer climes. The north
excels in steady achievement and daunt.
less will; the south is pre-eminent In
esprit, in art and Imagination. At the
bottom, however, the Latin and the
Teuton are equals. Their superficial
differences can be laid to climate and
environment
