ColoneI wiley'u Copdltion.

Representative Wiley's physicians decided this morning that he Is too feeble to be removed to Hot Springs. Va., and the trip has been indefinitely postponed.
 The special car that was engaged to take him there and which has been in the railroad yards here for ten days, has been ordered sent back. Colonel Wiley will. therefore. remain at his hotel until there is decided improve mnt in his condition. He is somewhat better today but Is still regarded as very sick man.
 Last week he was so alarmtngly III that his son. Lieutenant Noble Wiley. stationed with his command at Ha- vana, was cabled to come to Washing ton at once. He is here now and is Rratifed to know of the improvement in his fathers condition.
 Colonel Wiley's attack has been most stubborn one. and it is feared 1t will be several months before he will be able to get about on his feet.

Simpson, Alston and BHbro Are Close Together and Official Canvass May Be Necessary to Determine the Result Wiley Carried Every County in His District.

The returns from Mondays primary election are so meagre that the contest for Supreme Court Justices Is still In doubt. except that 1t is apparent that Hon. James ! Mayfield of Tuscaloosa. has been nominated.
 For the second place. it appears that Judge R. T. Eimpson. Judge A. Fl. Alston and Judge J. A. Bilbro ran close together. probably in the order named.
 Additional returns indicate Bryan's majority in the State will be about two to one over Johnson, although the Min nesota Governor carried Montgomery and Mobile Counties.
 It ss settled that three of the de- clared Bryan delegates have been nom- tnated--John W. Tomiinson of Bir- mingham, Congressman J. Thomas Hedtn of the Fifth District, and Con- gressman H. D. Clayton of the Third District. The fourth place is in doubt between Capt. E. W. Booker of Bir- mingham. a Bryan adherent, and Dr. R. M. Cunningham, of Ensley who de- clared for Johnson.
 Delegates in the Ninth Congressional District appear to be Sam Will John of Birmingham, a Bryan candidate. with the second place between James G. Oakley of Centreville. Bryan man. and Walker Percy of Birmingham. one of the leaders of the Johnson forces.
 Emmett 4. O'Neal and John c. PuRh have been nominated for electors at large.
 It seems a certainty that Col. A. A. Wiley for Congress carried every coun- fy of the district over his opponent. Hon. Thomas ]. Hall.

PUBLIC R A NOTES.

In the introduction to counsel upon
the reading of books, Henry Van Dyke
gives a few plrin maxims drawn from
experience. Here is one Read the
old books-those that have stood the
test of time. Read them slowly, care
fully, thoroughly. They will help
you to discriminate among the new
ones"
The ability to discriminate among
the multitude of new books, is an at
tainment much to be desired, and if the
old can help US to that end, why not
take the pains TO read them "slowly,
carefully, thoroughly" Several of the
new volumes recently purchased are
works of the old authors, added to the
library collection because they are be-
lieved to be worthy OF such a place. If
read with no other purpose than to
contrast with the present day illusions,
which are poured out by the publishers
in a ceaseless flood, made to sell, regard
less of their power either 10 entertain or
instruct, it would be worth while.
Is it we'll known that the library re-
ceives weekly the Official Gazette Of the
United States Patent Office? These
pamphlets are amply illustrated, and
infinitely describe the patents issued.
We have, too, a number of magazines,
''The Horseless Age" and regularly, in
addition to the three dailies, We receive
"The Commoner'' and The Socialist
HERALD each week. So the public
library is striving TO meet the needs,
lasts, and opinions of the public who
are its owners, hoping hat these same
owners may enter irto possession in the
fullest and highest sense.

OUR SAlLlRs' UNIFORMS.
Copied From England and Not Rep
resensstive of America.


All are familiar with the American
m%an-of-war sailors suit. but has aay
one ever stopped 10 consider how he
come by it and what the origin of it
IS? With the exception of the fit itself
and the stars in the corner Of the collar
the whole suit is copied from the Eng
lish. One would have thought that by
this time the American nation would
have fallen upon som original cos
tune for its navy IN some way more
representative of America.
In the early days of the British navy
It was still the custom to tie the hair
in a cue after well greasing it. but
much annoyance was felt by the men
in consequence of the oil getting on the
rough serge of their jumpers or blOuses.
This caused the blue collar of the
same material a. the jumper TO be
added, but without much success. as
the collar looked quite as untidy. so at
length the idea of putting the blue
drill one ove the serge was adopted,
the drill collar being a separate APP
pendage and therefore easily washed
and kept clean. The lanyard was
worn to represent the ropes and rig
ging of the ship, and the jackknife in
dicated that Ito be p~aradoXicaD the
bluejacket's object in life was death
to his enemy.
In those days the neck was exposed,
but as time went IN and more thought
was given TO the welfare of the men
this was found to be injurious to the
health; hence the substitute of the
white neck flannel, white being used
TO give the effect of the uncovered
neck.
The two rows of white braid at the
top of the cuff represent England and
Ireland. the one row at the bottom
showing that Scotland had not become
annexed. The rows of braid on the
collar represent wholly and solely the
victories of Nelson.
At the opening of Lord Nelson's
grand career and his first great vic
tory at Aboukir the first row of braid
was put on the collar, and Jack was a
proud and happy a and be became
still prouder and happier. when Abouklr
was followed by Nelson's greater vic
tory at Copenhagen. and the second row
was added. But he became the proud
est and happiest man and. alas. also
the most sOrrowful and grief stricken.
when hat great hero and magnificent
example of naval courage lost his life
in his last victory at Trafalgar, and so
the third row of braid went on, but
there was no more to come after it, for
"the last pipe" had sounded for the
gallant sailor, his last fight fought, his
last victory won. To signify the
mourning which filed the hearts of all
English sailors the black scarf was
added. This was the origin of the
British tar's uniform, which is both
historical and biographical and dear to
the heart of all English p~eople.-New
York World.

THE MIGHTY LION.
Il Is Easy Enough to Scare Him if
You Know Just How.

You Know Just How.
If Il lion or q tiger suddenly appears
before you. just hold a chair out in
front of him, and he won't do Il thing.
Allen Williams, who, in the course CO
his experience with wild animals has
been in that predicament often enough
to know, says: These creatures have
a much NOR. limited intelligence than
is generally supposed. They can take
in only one thing at a time, and the
four legs of a chair would keep any
lion busy thinking for a long time.
THAT is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are in the circus ring. One for crack
ing and awning the performers, the 9th
er for emergencies. If one of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds the reserve whip in front of him.
The two objects together are too much
for the lions intelligence, and he is i'm
mediately subdued."
Another proof of the limited intelli-
gence of the cat tribe, say trainers, is
the fact that their performances must
always come in the same order of sue
cession. If by some accident the order
is broken, the animals are completely
lost, and the trainers are few who i
keep them in submission once they be-
come confused. In fact. most trainers
consider themselves lucky in a Isl of
this sort if they can get the lions
quietly back into their cages.
The whole cat family, moreover, is
as treacherous as it is stupid.-lIilwau-
kee Sentinel.

Simple Method of Cooking CABBAGE

The simplest and quickest methods
Of cooking cabbage are the best. Cab
bage must be trimmed and well wash
ed in cold, sailed water. then cut into
quarters and tied together again with
a string before going into the sauce
pan. because the heart is more tender
than the outside and uniform softness
is desired. Have plenty of boiling
water with a heaping tablespoonful Of
salt to the half gallon of water. Let
it be boiling when the cabbage is put
in and cook it with the lid Off. and if
it be fresh it will keep a good color.
The time depends more upon the age

Amount of Rainfall Over the Earth.
The discussion of observations on
rainfall made first by Sir John Murray
and later by Bruckner and Fritsche
permits an estimation to be made of
the mean rainfall on continents, which
is found to be about thirty inches per
year. The rainfall on the ocean is
o difficult to measure, but it has
been estimated by Supau, and Fritsche,
taking account of all the known facts,
estimates the mean annual rainfall for
the entire surface of the earth at about
thirty-siX inches. Making use of this
number, it is easy to calculate that the
total rainfall amounts to AGA million
millions of metric tons per year, 1912
thousand millions of tons per day.
$4,000 millions of tons per hour, $751;
100000 tons per minute or 100000
