Gold Medal for the Prudential.
The Prudential Insurance company
of America has just been awarded a
gold medal for its exhibit of charts and
diagrams at the international Con-
greSs of Tuberculosis recently held at
Washington, d. G.
81 The exhibit of the Prudential con-
sisted of a. series Of charts illustrating,
in graphic form, the mortality from
consumption in thirty different trades:
The charts are derived from the extern
Sive mortality experience of the COM
pany, and no similar facts of Occupa-
tion mortality. have heretofore been
made public by health authorities, or
by other life insurance companies.
The exhibit emphasizes the vast
amount OF III health among workmen,
resulting from continuous exposure to
the different varieties of dust, and
naturally has attracted considerable
attention.
The charts are now on view in the
Museum OF National History, Central
Park West, New York, and they will
subsequently be shown in a number
OF cities throughout the country, as
part of travelling exhibit of the Ma
tional Society for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, to which the
same have been presented by the COM
pany.
The award of a gold medal by the
international Congress of tuberculosis
Is in line with the awards for former
exhibits made by the Prudential, and
for which gold medal was received
at Paris in 1900, the grand prize at st.
Louis In 1904, and gold medal, also
the highest award, from the James
town Ter Centennial exhibition in

Under the late decision of the court
of errors and appeals the state will
probably lose some revenue from the
transfer Of stock held by estates prior
to May 49, 1906, and we may be also
compelled under. this decision to re-
imburse for payments previously made
under protest prior to this law. The
inquiries and investigations that
have been able to make lead me to be.
lieve that we are not receiving all the
revenue from the collateral inheritance
tax which we should; this probably
without the fault of any particular Of
ficials. The matter is largely now in
the hands Of the several surrogates OF
the counties and the collections in
some counties are looked after much
more closely than in others. Counties
of about the same population should
return about the same average reve-
nue., and an examination of figures
shows this not to be true. There should
be some power somewhere for investi-
cation into estates and examination of
executors, for the purpose of ascer !.
tanning what requests or devises are
subject to tax. I recommend that pro-
vision be made for the. appointment Of
an official with full power as to col
lections under this law. He could save
his salary many times over.
Commission and Departmental Reports.
The last legislature either appointed
or authorized the governor to appoint
a number Of commissions. OF these
the excise, the dependency and crime,
the Industrial education and the COM
mission on the blind have made their
report
These commissions have done much
work and have presented valuable re-
ports on the subjects which they re-
spectively considered. The high char
acter of the commissioners and their
Jealous labors entitle these reports to
your most careful consideration. The
departmental reports are worthy OF
most careful study.
Matters Of Finance and Taxation.
In this message have purposely
avoided any reference to the finances
of the state or to matters of taxation.
Within a very few days a special
message covering these subjects win
be presented to you.

Of tho Elder.
Country people speak Of the elder
tree as "'se witches tree" and planted
1t near farm buildings and dairies tc
keep off witches. They also say that
the roots should never come near a
well, still less grow into It, or the wa.
ter will be spoiled. Evelyn's opinion
was also unfavorable. The diarist
says: II do by no means commend the
scent Of 1t, which is very noxious to
the air.
1--WE learn from Biesius that a Ger.
tain house In Spain. seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nearly all its Inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up, became
very healthy and wholesome place"
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and
the mole is driven away by the scent.
Carriers often placed branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Moth
Ing will grow well In the company Of
the elder, and when II has been re.
moved and all its roots carefully grub
bed up 1t is some few years before
the ground becomes perfectly sweet
and good for anything.
The berries. besides feeding the
birds, make excellent country wine,
delicious with soda water In summer
or taken hot In winter. The wood is
good for skewers, and
curious red fungus grows on elder
stumps. A species of elder in the
Tyrol is covered with beautiful scarlet
berries.-Selborne' Magazine.

A LOST MINE.
The Tragic Legend That Is Associated
With Bald Mountain.

The Tragic Legend That Is Associated
With Bald Mountain.
The legend Of a lost mine has given
to Bald mountain, in Placer county
Colo, a fascinating interest for pros.
pectors. Tradition is that early In the
fifties Of the last century three men
disappeared from an immigrant party
going over the old Gap trail. Search
for them was without avail, and they
were finally reported dead by the
searchers.
Where or how they wintered no one
knows, but the following spring, rag
ged, shOeless and demoralized, they
filed into Michigan Bluff. Their blan-
kets were converted into sacks, and
with them they brought gold dust to
the amount Of $4,000 or $4,000.
Spending but single night within
the confines Of civilization and giving
no information as to the location Of
their large claim, they were followed
on their return trip, and a few weeks
later their murdered bodies were found
in one of the dreary canyons that scar
the face of the desolate peak
Since then many n man has sought
this lost mine, but apparently its i'm.
munity is as certain as that Of the
treasure Of Captain Kidd.-Phiadel.

In its natural state the greatest noise
Of any known avian. Is found both In

has ceased to sing and nature is hush
ed In silence. The hornbill. a bird
which is widely distributed in India.
