International Congress.


Washington.-The central committee
Of the international congress on tuber-
culosis has announced the offer of the
following prizes:
l. A prize Of 81 900 is offered for the
best evidence of effective work in the
prevention or relief Of tuberculosis by
any voluntary association since the
last international congress in 1906.

the best exhibit Of an existing sana.
forum for the treatment OF durable
cases Of tuberculosis among the work
ing classes.
8. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
The best exhibit Of furnished house.
for family or group of families OF
wage-earners designed in the interest
of the crusade against tuberculosis. In
addition tc the prize Of 81 1000, two gold
medals and three silver medals will be
awarded. The prize and medals will
be accompanied by diplomas or certiti-
Gates of award. This prize is designed
to stimulate efforts towards securing
maximum of sunlight, ventilation,
proper heating, and general sanitary
arrangement for an inexpensive home.
A model Of house and furnishing is re-
quired.
4. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
kindred institution for the treatment
Of the tuberculous poor.
| 5. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of hospital for the
treatment of advanced pulmonary TIL
berculosis.
In addition to the $1,000 prize in
each of the above cases, two gold
medals and three silver medals will
be awarded.
The Hodgkins fund prize of $500
is offered by the Smithsonian institu-
ton for the best treatise that may be
submitted on The Relation of Atmos-
pheric Air to Tuberculosis"
The detailed definition OF this prize
may be obtained from the secretary
general of the International society or
secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
ton. Charles d. Walcott.
A gold medal and two silver medals
are offered for the best exhibits sent
In by any states Of the United States,
Illustrating effective organization for
the restriction of tuberculosis.
In the list of prizes, attention is
about equally divided between meas
ures for the care or relief of sufferers
from the white plague" and those
concerned primarily with the proven
ton Of the disease. 1t has taken a
long time for civilized people to find
out that the principal ground on which
the battle against tuberculosis is
fought is in the homes. 1t has been
much easier to accept scientific discov.
cries than to face the every day fact
that dirt, dampness. darkness, vice and
privation are the strongest allies that
tuberculosis has. The records of the
visiting nurses. and the maps of lung
blocks" give all the positive evidence
needed on this score.

SnowsIide Near LeadviIle.

Leadville, Colo.-A disastrous snow
slide occurred on Long and Derry hill,
near here, Sunday night, when about
500 tons of snow and rock swept down
the mountain side. The slide carried
away a part of the ore bins and shaft
house of the Aurora Mining Company,
in Iowa gulch, and came within a few
feet of a cabin in which half dozen
miners were sleeping. The men were
awakened by the roar and rushed from
their beds. They knew from the sound
that slide was on its way down the
hill and started for safety. When the
slide had passed they saw that their
home had not been touched.

And then there did not seem to be
anything to say between them for a
long while. The half-breed had set
tied down with stolid Indifference.
People had resumed their newspapers
and magazines and day dreams after
the fleeting excitement. 1t was very
warm. Louise tried to create a little
breeze by Ticking her somewhat be-
grimed handkerchief in front of her
face. Gordon took a newspaper from
his pocket, folded it and famed her
gently. He was not used to the little
graces of life. perhaps, but he did this
well. An honest man and kindly
never goes far wrong in any direction.

Louise laughed merrily and SO the
| journey ended as it had begun, with a
laugh and jest.
In the judges runabout, Louise held
out her hand.
I'm almost homesick," she cried,
smiling.

Why Stock Require Salt.

The requirement that all cattle,
horses and sheep grazing under per-
nit on the National Forests be given
salt at frequent intervals is regula-
ton which has been found to go a
long way in protecting the range and
conserving the forage crop.
Experience has been shown that the
want of salt makes stock restless. If
cattle and horses are not supplied as
they need it, they roam and wander,
haunting old sailing grounds used in
previous seasons, trampling the forage
plants instead of eating them, paving
the ground. and in other ways injuring
the range. But if their cravings are
supplied, they scatter peacefully over
the pasture grounds and feed at their
leisure.
Salt is SO necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range, that no flockmaster would think
of getting along without 1t. II sheer
do not receive their usual supply it is
only with great difficulty that they can
be held in bonds or kept in camp at
night. So far as sheep are concerned
no regulation by law is really neces
sary, because the owners for their own
convenience, will salt their flocks. But
cattle are not herded and the owners
might neglect to salt them if the reg
ulations were not strictly enforced.
Stock on different ranges require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head OF
sheep would be from 1000 to 1,5OO
pounds each year. For like number
of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds
year is required. Horses need less
than cattle.
Old hunters, in the days Of the pio-
neers, knew that deer and buffalo
travelled long distances to lick salt in
saline springs. The Blue Licks on
Lickingriver. in Kentucky, and a SIM
liar mineral spring on Elk river, in
West Virginia, were famous for the
herds of deer, buffalo and elk which
frequented them. The adjacent ground
was so deeply tramped that the marks
were TO be seen many years after the
places ceased to be visited by these
animals.

VARIETIES IN HUMAN SPECIES
Source of Everything That Is Beautiful
and Inter sting.

Each human being has something
distinguishing. in form, proportions
countenance, gesture, voice-in feel
inSs, thought, and. temper, in mental
as well as corporeal physiognomy
This variety is the source of every
thing beautiful and interesting in the
external world-the foundation of the
whole moral fabric of the universe.
Certain external circumstances, as
food, climate, mode of life, have the
power of modifying the animal organi-
cation, so as to make IL deviate from
that of the parent. But this effect
terminates in the individual. Thus. a
fair Englishman, if exposed to the sun.
becomes dark and swarthy in Bengal;
but his offspring. if from an English
woman. are born just as fair as he
himself was originally; and the chill
dren, after any number Of generations
that we have yet observed. are still
born equally fair, provided there has
been no intermixture of dark blood.

There was stir in the forward
part of the car. A man, hitherto sit

by springing over the empty seat in

the door. 1t was daring. but in vain.

Mare. For Experiment Station.

Dean Carlyle Of the Agricultural
College will leave for the East within
short time to join Professor Curtiss
Of Iowa and Expert Rummel of the De-
partment Of Agriculture and the three
acting as a committee will select a
number of mares to be added to the
government experiment stud at Fort
Collins. The appropriation for this
purpose is only $4,000, and it is prob
able that it will not go far in purchas-
ing the kind of mares that Carlyle
wants.
The horse experiment station al
Fort Collins has been in operation now
for about three years and results al
ready obtained indicate the complete
success Of the experiment. There are
now some forty odd colts on the farm
and some OF them are wonders. In
the beginning there was fear OF two
things: First, that Cannon, the stall
lion, would not prove prepotent enough
to reproduce himself, and second, that
1t would be impossible to secure the
size and weight wanted without sac
rifice Of quality and finish. Both of
these fears have proven groundless.
Every colt in the bunch shows the
unmistakable stamp of the sire and
the climate and food have produced
the size and weight without any ap-
parent loss Of quality. beauty and fin
ish.
The training of the older colts has
already commenced and they are max
ing fine progress. The addition of a
few fine mares will add very greatly
to the value Of the experiment.
The establishment of type of Am
erican carriage horses was an expert
ment that was regarded with much
doubt by the horsemen of the country
but those who have seen the results
thus far obtained are enthusiastic and
in the minds of those who have been
watching Carlyle's work there is no
longer any doubt but that the new type
will be established and that it will be
popular with the people.-Record-

Cottonless Cottonwoods.

Many people object to cottonwood
trees on account of the cotton. But
this can be overcome. Only the pistil-
late trees bear cotton. Nurseries now
propagate by cuttings made from STAN
mate (male) trees only. These they
sell as "cottonless cottonwoods." Any
one else can do the same. Mark the
trees that are "cottonless," take your
cuttings from those only and you will
Ne sure to have "cottonless cotton
woods" The Carolina poplar is only
a variety of cottonwood and would not
be cottonless were not this same pre-
caution taken In propagating it.
