Brand New Crimes.

A writer in Harper's Weekly Won
ders II certain brand new crimes"
will not result from the increasing use
Of wireless telegraphy. A recent spe-
cial message to congress urged legisla-
ton to prevent interference with gov
eminent wireless telegraphy. A boy in
Washington, it seems. had put up a
staff for wireless experiment and had
prevented the sending of n wireless
message to the president when he was
on a warship bound for Panama. A
Brooklyn lad had caught wireless
headed for the navy yard. and in other
cases boys and amateurs had got in the
governments way. Behold in sight a
new class of rights and easements I'M
known to Blackstone. Kent or Parsons,
invisible, intangible, inaudible and yet
existent and, we suppose. important.
Let us see now if congress can legis,
late that boys must not be boys in this
matter of playing with magnetic cur
rents"

Women Outlive Men.

Statistics gathered during the past
10 years in the United Kingdom show

years exceeded the men by nearly IS
per cent. Long life in either sex, how
ever, is largely a matter of health
and the odds are entirely in favor of

and delicate we recommend a fair
trial of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire to get out and
enjoy the sunshine. Children that
have been housed up all winter are
brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy winter
clothing is thrown aside and many
shed their flannels. Then cold wave
comes and people say that grip is cpl
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter, as
there is much more danger of pneu-
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however, and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cure, and
we have never known n cold to re-
suit in pneumonia when it is used: 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale by all druggists.

Trees Planted by insects.

The uses of worms in wood and
field have been discovered by G.. A.
Andrews. 1t has long been known
that squirrels aid the forester by
burying nuts, of which some sprout
and ultimately develop into trees, but
that also he is indebted to earth
worms for like services is knowledge
new. 1t appears that the dry fiat
fruits of the silver maple are frequent
ly used by worms to plug the aper-
lures of their burrows in the fashion
long since described by Darwin. In
districts too dry for them to germi-
nate under ordinary conditions GER
tain proportion Of maple seeds thus
drawn into their holes by the worms
were found to sprout and grow into
seedlings, and, although these ulti-
mately persisted under the influence
of the late summer drought. Mr.. An
drews thinks that under less unfavor-
able conditions certain number
would survive He believes that by
planting trees worms more than
amend the damage with which
they are credited through destroying
seedlings In the gardens.
