when they are beginning to earn

Of earnings amount TO over $1,000 in
each case, while the earning power
which might have been II death had
not come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each individual.
II this sum is multiplied by the
13S,0O0 deaths, the cost, 1t Is seen,
is bigger than the immense sum of
S1,000,000,0 Professor Fisher es-
timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consumptive
is over $44O,0OO,000 a year
As matter Of self-defense, he
averred, It would be worth while to
the community in order to save mere

consumption TO invest $500, 0o0,-

one per cent. of this sum Is being

Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for in
durable consumptiyes are the best in
vestment of all, because in this way
the most dangerous consumptives are
prevented from spreading the disease
by careless splitting in their homes

DIVER FIGHTS DEVIL FISH.


San Francisco. Cal.-Wrapped in
the tentacles of a giant devil fish,
Martin Lund, diver employed by
the Coast Wrecking Company, fought
for his life in the hold Of the wrecked
steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty
feet of water in Fort Ross Cove off
the Marin County coast.
The devil fish had evidently entered
the vessels hold during the night
Lund had been at work some time
before he was attacked. A giant ten
tacle four inches in diameter first
gripped one leg. Before Lund real
ized what was happening another en-
.eircled his thigh.
The diver began to chop at the rub
ber-like bonds and at the same Nime

In the halcyon days Of the prosper

a steady procession Of oX-carts trans

Cinche TO the river banks, the pro-
grCssiye creaks OF which, like the
British dwm.beat, might have been
heard around the world. The noted

In this article We mean no disre-

whatever of his admirable traits Of
industry and general reliability; but
when he is costing our planters about
four or five dollars for every vertical

coming very High proportionate'to the

ence of possible substitutes for con-
siderable part of his labor. ....
This suggestion about the use OF
oxen in all possible forms Of planta-
ton work where mules might be re-
tired, to be devoted to more advant-
ageous labor. is worthy of careful con-
sideration by the sugar planters OF
this state While we cannot grow
mules Of quadrupedal construction in
our sugar region or feed them below

We can rear the best breeds of oxen
and have them furnish their own

while the discarded mule goes to a

fatten the retired OK for a feast for

$685. tons for each life lost. Mis-
souri, had the lowest death rate, head
ing the roll Of honor with .95 and
499,742 tons Of coal mined for each
life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the pop
MAR idea that most mine disasters
result from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year,
947 deaths and SAB injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and POI
deaths and 4l6 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause OF death among the miners, the
report explains, was due to the falling
of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1922 deaths and 2141
injuries.
Z. w. Parker, chief statistician Of
the survey, asserts that much benefit
will result from the action OF Con-
gress in appropriating $3.50, 900 to in
vestigate mine disasters and take
steps to decrease the number OF &C.
cidents each year.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 9e7 Maiu
AVA ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
"As l have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of cat tarrh of the head
and throat which suffered from for a
number of years, / am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that j was usually
troubled with headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. 1 was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
"However, 1 did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was n
marked change in my condition. Muck
encouraged / kept on until l was COM
piefeiy cured in n months time, and I
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."

should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet

instance of judicial condemnation o.
Cured In Chicago. when the appellate
court, last month, declined to Issue an
Injunction restraining the school board
from enforcing a rule excluding all
members OF secret fraternities from
participation in literary or athletic
contests. and from using the names OF
the high schools In connection with
the fraternities. The Injunction was
sought through the father of a men,

ground that the rule interfered with

court decides that the rule against

It does not trespass upon parental au-
thority. The school contests from
which members OF the fraternities ere
barred do not form part Of the regular

Why the Bridge Fell.

There will be sigh of relief all

substantial proof that the Quebec
bridge disaster was the result OF care
lessness which might have been avoid

vented. This seeming paradox lies in
the fact that at first 1t appeared as II
the fault lay in something outside the
ken of engineers, which made every
large bridge in the country seem po-
tentially unsafe. That the engineer
ing plans as originally drawn were
correct and that they were changed by
an aged and infirm supervising en-.
gineer apparently are accepted as the
fundamental facts in the case. 1t was

Philadelphia Inquirer. this does not
lessen the terrible aspects of the
tragedy, but 1t does show that the
bridge can be rebuilt and be as safe
