Prices of agricultural products are
high, and if they remain high we are
likely to hear less of unused acres
and slack methods. Dollar wheat and
75-cent corn and Accent eggs and but
ter have in them the promise of Back
to the Farm" But it is not enough
that the prices of agricultural prod
ucts are to be high-the producer
must get the increment if he is to be
effectively encouraged. We boast Of
the perfection of our system of trans
portation and distribution, yet the
datryman a few miles from New York
gets but or cents a quart for the
milk for which the consumer pays S
cents. Yet when the farmer complains
Of the middlemen and asks to be
brought closer to his real customer,
he is generally laughed at as a grum-
bier and Populist.

FISH THAT CAN WALK.

Climbing Perch Travel Over Lana
from Water to Water.
It may seem absurd to speak Of
nsnes as walking. The flying fish is
well known, but its flight looks much
Ike swimming In the air. We natural
~ think Of fishes as living always in
the water. as being Incapable, in fact,
OF living anywhere else, Parsons
weekly says. But nature maintains
no hard-and-fast lines of distinction
between animal life which belongs to
the land and that which belongs to
the water. If we can believe the ac-
counts OF naturalists, there are fishek
that traverse dry land.
It is reported that DR.. Francis Day
OF India has collected data of several
instances Of the migration of fishes
by land from one piece Of water to
another
A party of English officers were
upon one occasion encamped in GER
tain part of India when their atten-
ton was attracted by rustling sound
in the grass and leaves. Investiga.
ton showed it to be caused by myriads
OF little fishes that we're passing slow
ly on. There were hundreds of them
moving by using their side and small
fms as feet, now upright, now falling
down, squirming, bending, rolling over,
regaining their finny feet and again
passing on.
These fishes were the famous climb
is perch and they were passing over
the country to avoid drought. When
the stream in which they had been
spending the season dries up they
scale the banks and, directed by some
marvellous instinct, crawl to another.

The Dental War VIII Save You Money
School children of Fall, River, Mass,

School children of Fall, River, Mass,
have been warned by means of printed
slips pasted in all their text books,
by order of the board of health, not
to spit, not to moisten their fingers to
turn leaves or count money, not to
suck pencils or hold money in the
mouth, and not to swap" candy, gum,
half-eaten food, whistles, bean blowers,
or anything that is put in the mouth.
If the young folks in all parts of the
country should obey these rules, there
would be fewer cases of tonsillitis and
diphtheria.

Wilson Vance's novel of a Crom-
wellian soldier in old Virginia en-
titled big John Baldeth" is to be
brought out in England by the noted
Bristol publisher who introduced Hugh
Conway, Jerome K. Jerome, Anthony
Hope and other novelists Of note.
Wilson Vance is the father of Louis

There will be given to the world
this autumn two books about the late
Lord Kelvin, one of the really great
men of science Of the nineteenth CEN
fury. One is the formal biography by
Professor Silvanus Thompson and the
other is a volume of personal remdnis-
cences written by his sister, Mrs King
who has lately followed her brother
into the other world.
Mrs. Velma Swanston Howard has
returned to New York from a visit
to the celebrated Swedish author, Miss
Selma Lagerlof A new edition OF
Mrs. Towards translation of Miss
Lagerlofs Christ Legends" has just
been issued. The book Is having a
success as literature aside from It's
religious significance. Many of the
legends it contains are not to be found
in the Bible and have distinct
quaintness and charm of their own.
Harry Delacombe, the author of the
Boys Book of Airships," has been in
the British army and became much
interested in the subject on which
he writes. He is now specialist in
it and has a personal acquaintance
with most of the leading inventors.
He has withheld his forthcoming book
from the press as long as possible in
order to get in the very latest informa-
ton, and it includes accounts of the
Zeppelin dirigible and the Wright,
Curtiss, Farman, Bleriot, Antoinette
and other aeroplanes as they appeared
at the international contests at Relms.
To see ourselves as others see us
is always an interesting occupation,
and nothing can be more interesting
to an American than to know why he
is unlike the English and the causes
that have made him the energetic,
enterprising, active man that he is. In
A Maurice Lows forthcoming book,
THE American People" these things
are explained and the working OF the
American mind is carefully analysed.
To be told that American character
has been influenced by the Indian or
that one reason why we are different
from Europeans is because of our

Cicely Hamilton, the author of Mar
rage as a Trade" frankly admits that
she speaks as spinster. Her claim
is that woman's one trade or means
Of livelihood has been to please man.
to marry him if possible, and to do the
work that he judges too tiresome or
embarrassing to do for himself. The
result has been not only that her
profession of matrimony has been
overcrowded but also that the low
grade of woman's wages Is due to her
lack of interest in her work and re-
gard for it on account of her belief
that her only respectable career was
the marrying of some good man, or in
case that failed in becoming the wife
Of an unworthy man. Miss Hamilton
is an English woman and the author
Of Diana of DObsOn'S.

NO BILL FOR DUNCAN.
Union Man Charged With Looting a
Bank.-Some Witnesses Were
Not Sworn.

Union, Sept. l1.-1n the court OF
general sessions for this county yes
terday the grand jury returned "no
bill' on the indictment charging Col.
T. c.. Duncan with obtaining money
from the Peoples Bank Of this city
by false representations and with
fraudulent intent.
Judge Devore refused to allow this
presentment to stand, however, for the
easonthatsomeof the witnesses,whose
names appeared on the back Of the
indictment had not been sworn and
directed the grand jury to take the
indictment back and erase the "no
biu.' These witnesses are not resi-
dents of this county or state and it is
improbable that they will ever appear
to give evidence in the case. 1t is a
reasonable presumption, Therefore,
that this case against Mr.. Duncan is
ended.

WEALTH SPLIT UP.
Harriman's Great Fortune to be Scat
tered Among Heirs Of the Late
Railroad Magnate.
New York World.

| New York World.
That the piled-up wealth Of the
great captain Of finance will in time
become so huge that all the rest of
the country's population will one day
be dependent upon few money kings
is cry often raised by demagogues
and others, but the actual facts show
that these vast accumulations soon
become widely distributed and lose
practically all Of their power with the
second generation.
E. H. Hartman left a fortune Of
approximately s1O0,000,O0O. Under
his will the bulk Of it will be divided
among FIVE children and his widow,
with considerable sums going to 9TH
er relatives.
H. H. Rogers, who died last spring,
left also approximately S10O,OO0,0Oo,
and under his Will it goes to four
children and his swidoW. Already
there are nine grandchildren to share
in a further division.
Russell Sage, who died July %,
1906, was the only great fnancier OF
recent years to die ehildless. He lett
s66. $4,000. and Of this his widow IN
herited s63,776.0OO. Since his death
Mrs. Sage has spent immense sums
for philanthropic purposes, and the
bulk of what she leaves will, on her
death, 60 into the same channels.
Cornelius Vanderbilt left an estate
Of s72,5O0,O0O, and $69,5O0,O00 were
divided in different proportions among
! his five children. His second son, AL
fred G., got the largest amount, S44,-
100000, and Cornelius, his eldest son,
the smallest, $1,500,OO0, but to avoid
a contest Alfred G., gave Cornelius
s6,0o0,OO0 of his share.
Jay Gould left s72,oOo,Ooo, and it
was divided among six children.
George, the eldest son, received tne
largest share, and the other five child
rem equal shares. All Of them, with
the exception Of Miss Helen, the eld-
est daughter, married, and of the tive
who married all have children except
Howard.
Thus of these five captains of finance
who left S411, 100000, this great sum
