The Fourth and fireworks arr
synonymous says writer IN the
July Delineator Very often the
small sister is included among tn.
patriotic victimr of a great dav.
The wise mother, recognizing tht
fascinating fun OF fireworks to tht
small folk, begins early TO guard
against the fatalities without handi.
Gaping the fun.
First, in regard to matches, she
insists that the firecrackers be
lighted with punk, not only from
an economical standpoint, but for
safety as we'll By using the punk,
close contact is avoided with the
frecracker fuses.
Second, she instructs children
not to stand directly in front of the
frecrac er while lighting it, but to
stand at one side Neither will
she allow firecraekers to be placed
under tin vessels.
The wise mother knows that one
should be prepared for Fourth OF
July emergencies-that it is rot
enough TO know what TO do, but
how to do it as we'll. She providra
herself with package of absorbent
cotton or lint, a bandage roll aud

NEW HUMAN POWERS.
They May Help Solve the Ever-Puz
 zlne Mystery of Death.

'T am content to plod with these Italian scientists" says Haml1n Gar land, in the August Everybodys Let HIS establish one supernormal fact and then reach for another. You fellows with your reincarnations, and the Spiritualist with his foolish messages from Cleopatra, Raphael and Shake speare have confused the situation. We must begin all over again.
 "To study frogs and mosquitoes, to neer close into the constitution Of the blood or the brain of man, is consid- cred useful by our schools; but to the mind the questions raised by these continental experimentalists are the most vital now clamoring for answer. "Perhaps the secret of death Is the ultimate secret which will forever al fure us. Of this am fully persuaded: Men will be discovering new laws or nature ten thousand years from now, inst as they are doing today. It is in- conceivable that the secrets of the universe should ever be made entirely nIa7n Nothing is really explained; what we call familiar facts are at bot ton, inexplicable mysteries, and must ever remain so.
 "Who knows but the observations oi Morselli. of Bottazzi and Foa, have onened new vistas in human nature' These supernormal powers may chance to be of immense value to the race. quite aside from their oearnf mon the problem of death. Further more these reports come at a time when hard and fast liberalism or in terpretation is the fashion among ou scientists. Perhaps they and the ar of the day will alike be offered new in sniration by these mystifying enlarge ments of human faculty. At any rate if is up to our American ploioglsts 2 take notice of these experiments D l Rottazzi and his brave fellows.

Fly Fogs In India.

From Answers
 One of the evils of Calcutta is the plague of green flies, from which the whole city suffers at certain times in the year. The happy hunting time or these minute insects is during the late autumn and early winter They are serious nuisance, both in and out or doors. They wing their way through all the open doors into the houses and into every room, making life unbear- able.
 Like most insects, the little green flies have a great affection for the flame. On occasion the inhabitants have found it necessary to put out all the gas lights-even at public dinner and to take their meals practically in deep gloom, illuminated only by fickering candles.
 Naturally, it is not at all pleasant to go on eating with dense clouds or 1n' sects swarming overhead or roasted to death. falling about one in patterine showers.
 They seem to spring into existence from nowhere perhaps it is almos' dusk. when the lights of the stree' lamps are becoming visible. Then suddenly, the air, which moment pc fore was quite clear, is full Of myriao' of green flies, drifting in misty patcne' and obscuring the street lamps. | Often the number of insects whio'

FIFTY DIE EVERY WEEK.
Is Job Any Good for Mans Health if
 His Wife Is a "Widder?"

Ernest Poole, in the August Every
 body's.
 At noon I had dinner with the fore man in lunch room. It was shaped like tunnel and packed with burly lockers hard at work Little was heard but the noises of eating. Hav- ing scalded my mouth by my first at tempt on the soup, I stopped and looked about me. The same soup smoking hot, was being gulped down like cool, pleasant water. And then the main dinner appeared. This con sisted of plates piled high with beef and potatoes and cabbage, all of which was consumed in from five to ten min utes, together with coffee in huge thick bowls, even hotter than the soup. Then out came the pipes. 1 watched them all with envy.
 Seems like a healthy life,'' I re- marked. If a man can eat like this, and work 40 hours at stretch when he's a granddaddy, he must have had a healthy job to grow old on."
 The foreman's jaws were still work ing hard. But while he ate he stared at me. And then he leaned solemnly forward.
 Look here, young un, tell me this: Is a job any good for the health Of a man if his wife is a widder?'
 The answer to that was easy.
 "No,' replied; "it certainly is not
 Well" he said, that's what's the matter with a good many boys on the docks. Their wives are always becom ing widders, and don't know anything that can annoy man more" q haven't seen any accidents sc far"
 And you won't Not at first Be cause when a man gets took on rom | the docks the rest of us don't wipe any eyes nor tear out any hair. We just go on working. It's all in the game But just you keep your eyes open.'
 In the next week l talked with DO Iicemen all up and down the river l There is one stationed at every plel l entrance. He must enter each ampu lance case in his note book. Looknt through these books, found that eaci dock averaged one accident week about 50 a year.

HOKE SMITH TELLS
 OF BROWNS REMOVAL
Governor Sends Message to
 the Legislature
REASONS GIVEN FOR ACT
Message Refers to Sealed Letter Which Smith Received from Brown and Which Was Returned to
 Sender Unopened.

Atlanta, July Ex-Governor Hoke Smith sent to the Georgia legislature today a special message giving his req sons for removing Joseph M. Brown as member of the state railroad com mission in 1907. MT. Brown is the present governor elect, having defeated MT. Smith in the recent democratie. primary. The governor in his mes sage reviews the act of the railroad commission reducing rates in Georgia, this action having been opposed by MT. Brown. While I concede the right of any commissioner to disagree to the action of the majority reducing a freight or passenger rate or fixing an obligation upon the railroad company I deny his right to remain on the com nittee and furnish arguments and evi dence for the railroad companies So attack the action of the commission in the courts,'' reads the message This he charges MT. Brown with having done. The governor says that consid- erable litigation was pending against the state, actions having been brought by the railroads, and declares the al- vantage to the state of filling his (Brown's) place with a commissioner who would support the action of the commission was obvious"
 The message refers at considerable length to the sealed" letter episode Before MT. Browns suspension Governor smith received a letter from MT. Brown containing an inclosure in sealed en- Nelope, accompanied by a note to the effect that the sealed envelope contained card which Mir. Brown had refrained from writing in the gubernatorial cam pafgn two years ago. The message reads
 The Inference that he desired me and me alone to know the text of some at tack which he had 'refrained' from pub fishing during the gubernatorial race, but which if I suspended him from of lice he would publish"
 The governor writes that after con- sidering this matter he considered that the letter removed all reason for hesita- tion, and consequently suspended Brown from the railroad commission, returning the inner envelope of MT. Browns letter unopened

WHAT IS 4 JUST
 VALUE OF A K|SS2 A Meoted Question In the
 Land ALL AUTHORITIES VARY Some Cost as High as $47.75, While Another In New York Cost 60 Days In Jail-Penalty Is
 Uncertain.
ALL AUTHORITIES VARY
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 What is the value of a kiss? Can a price, the cold figures, be placed upon the delights of the lips?
 No federal, state or municipal act nas been passed establishing in so many words just what penalty should be af- hicted upon a man who kisses a woman against her will or what price per kiss should be paid by him who tastes the sweets of female lips and then breaks the marriage engagement.
 The best that can be done, apparently. is to leave it to the discretion of judges and juries, and they disagree so maternal ly in their decisions that uniformity seems out of the question.
 A Baltimore judge not long ago im- posed a fine of $4.75 for a single kiss snatched by a boarder from his fair land- lady, while for similar offense-doesn' t it seem paradoxical to use the word of
 fense?-when the offended one was a
 pretty girl, a New York judge sent a shoe dealer to jail for 50 days.
 If one steals a COW or a pair of shoes he can estimate pretty nearly what it will mean for him if caught and con- victed. If one considers an assault and battery upon his neghbor, he knows the
 consequences. He who speeds his auto
 mobile can tell, from his knowledge of the local ordinances, about what it will
 cost him if arrested. There is a certain
 price to pay for being intoxicated and disorderly.
 Positiveness is comforting at least If
 a man knew that Ito kiss a body comin'
 thro the rye' or passing through rail-
 road tunnel or walking the village prom enade would cost him, say, s5 or even $10, he could let his pocketbook decide what he ought to do.
 But there's no such consolation. And there are those who think the man who believes in kissing a pair of pretty lips when he sees them Is used very meanly by the law if the law punishes him If the lawmakers should attempt to place a certain value upon a kiss they i would, perhaps, have to adopt a sliding i scale for the experience of the courts has been that surrounding circumstances ! may either extenuate or aggravate. For instance, Recorder Crowen of Mid dletown N Y, believed the youth of the girl-she was only 14-should be consid- cred in the case of Frank Munfort. ac- cused of kissing a little feminine custo- mer in his shoe store.
 Munfort made the excuse that he was seized with an uncomfortable impulse when he snatched the kiss, but this was not satisfactory; he was sentenced to l spend SO days in Goshen jail. The man thought the sentence severe in view of l his unspotted reputation, and announced | his intention of appealing.
 | That the Dominion government consid- CTS kissing without permission misde-
 meanor warranting Imprisonment was

lice and a posse of citizens searched a two-acre thicket at Oakdale, N. J., to- night, finally capturing the suspect, only to learn that he was a tramp.
 brother of Gus Eberhard was found at Woodside, N. J. today, and he has furnished the police with an excellent photograph of the missing man. The brother was deeply affected when he learned that the police are searching for Gus. He said that he did not know that Mrs. Eberhard and her daughter had in- tended to come to this country and was thunderstruck to hear his aunt had been murdered. He thinks it possible that his brother was also murdered and that his body was concealed.
