NEED QUALITY OF PATIENCE.
Highways of France No Place for
Pedestrian Who Would Move
in a hurry.

The highways OF France are broad
and shaded, her irnkeepers neither
exclusive nor intrusive; yet even here
pedestrianism has its drawbacks. Chief
among them are the railway crossings.
The French system OF protection
against accidents is effective, no
doubt, but If monsieur the Frenchman
were as impatient a being as the
American, the mortality would be lit
tie lessened, for the delay involved at
these "traverses du chemin de fer"
would choke with rising choler as
many as might come to grief at an
unprotected crossing.
On either side of the track is 4
ponderous "barriere," the opening and
shutting OF which would be slow I'M
der the best of circumstances. Being
always tended by colossal barrie
riere" (gate woman), who moves with
the stately grace Of house being
raised on jack screws, the barricade
is unduly effective. Ten minutes be-
fore train is due la barrieriere hoists
herself erect, waddles across the track
to draw the farther gate, closes the
nearer one and, having locked them
both, returns to the shade of her cot
tage. The train may be an hour late.
but that is beside the question. This
is the time that madame is hired to
lock the gates, and locked they must
remain until the train has passed.
Woe betide the intrepid voyager who
tries to climb over them, for her
tongue is sharp ami the long arm Of
the law is arrayed on her side.

OPPOSE NEGRO SOLDIERS
Burlington Excited Over Quarterine
CoIored Troops at Fort Ethan Allen


Burlington, Vt, July 22.-Confront-
ed with a question similar to that
which disturbed the peace of Browns
vile, Texas, and resulted in a ma
tional sensation, the people of north
western Vermont are inclined to act
like their Southern brethren.
Burlington, one Of the northernmost
cities of New England and notbed
of abolition in ante-bellum days, is up
in arms over the decision of the gov
eminent to quarter 1,200 negro cav
alrymen at Fort Ethan Allen, three
miles from this city.
Citizens of Burlington and Winoos-
XII are said TO be seriously consider
ing separate cars for blacks and
whites on the trolley road
Winooski, a mile and a half from
the fort, has a population of 1,400
When all the companies of the Tenth
cavalry have arrived there will be
200 negroes there.
The decision of the War depart
ment to quarter the Tenth cavalry, all
the troopers in which are negroes. in
northern Vermont marks a precedent
as negro troops have never been
quartered in New England. This is
the first time, in fact, that negro sol
diers have been sent to any post east

By Trade a Worm Eater.
By HELEN

Gothic, early Italian and Renais'
sance furniture can be copied with the
greatest ease, and common wood Is
changed into walnut by the walnut's
own juice. For the pieces that de-.
mand more delicate processes nitric
acid eats away the epidermis of the
wood, while permanganate Of potash
colors what remains. Worm holes
are produced in various ways; one is
to shoot into the fresh wood with 9
pistol charged with grapeshot. I'm.
fortunately the tell-tale shot remains
at the bottom of the hole. But who
takes his furniture to pieces to look
for such evidence?
A worm-eater is a recognized pro.
fession, though this "a not known
to the English magistrate who asked
a poor woman what her husbands
trade was and got the astonishing re-
ply, "a worm-eater, please your Wor.
ship" If a forger is quite unusually
honest he procures old worm-eaten
wood and makes his furniture out OF
that. 1t Is told that some have even
bought up old houses for the sake OF
their beams and rafters.

Show Windows in Moscow.

One street in Moscow, Miasnitz.
kaya ULTRA, is devoted almost entire.
ly to stores selling machinery. The
windows of these shops are large and
of plate glass, and display the vart-
GUS wares to good advantage. Many
windows are devoted to large exhibits
of various mechinisms, and at a GER
tain hour in the afternoon these ma
chimes are, so far as possible, set In
motion to give practical illustration
of their working. The windows are
usually surrounded by men, many OF
whom seem to be mechanics, who ap-
pear to be keenly interested.
There is a demand here for ma
chinery of all sorts, but with the ex-
ception of agricultural machinery,
which is we'll and widely known here,
American machines have not become
as popular as they should. In con-
versation with importers Of American
goods I learn that this is greatly the
fault of the American manufacturers.
With the notable exception Of the
manufacturer Of agricultural ma
chinery, who has built up a large
trade here, they are unwilling to &C
cede to the customs of the country
with regard to payment. Consul

About soft.Shelled Crabs.

Many persons believe that n
hard-shelled crab and the soft-shelled
crab are two different species. Ihls
is not so. The shellfsh thus distin-
guished are merely two conditions OF
the same species. :,

There is no particular time OF year

Early Americans.

90 many popular descriptions n
pictures of the mighty dinosauria-
aterror lizards"-which abounded IN
Western America in prehistoric times
have lately been published that mucn
curiosity is felt as to their probable
manner of life. DR.. o. P. Hay con-
tends that these animals, and par
ticularly the species named Diplodo-
GUS, did not walk, and much less
raise themselves on their hind legs,
on land. Their great weight, about
twenty tons, seems to him to preclude
that idea. He believes that they were
more like crocodiles in their habits,
swimming easily and feeding largely
on water plants, many of which they
reached by means Of their long necks.
The Diplodocus had relatively very
weak teeth.-Youth's Companion.

Intruding.

It was hardly dawn, and the win
dow was open. The intruder had
clambered up the front porch, and
the interior Of the room looked in
viting. He could see that it was the
abode of some person Of wealth.
There were costly ornaments about
the room, any one Of which would
bring handsome returns at a pawn
brokers'. A gold clock licked Oh the
mantel, and a silver service glistened
on the table.
On a couch lay a man, sleeping
heavily. His face was red and his
hairless crown glistened in the first
faint glow of day.

He Was On His Job.

Railroad men are telling this Incl
dent as having occurred on a Kansas
train some time ago. The rails
spread, and the engine, tender and
baggage car left the track, but the
jar was not hard enough to disturb
the sleepers in the rear Pullmans.
In the last Pullman the porter was
shining shoes, and, thinking that the
train was stopping at an unusual
place, he went ahead to see about
the difficulty. He was told that with
in a couple Of hours the engine. could
be put back and the track repaired.
So he got busy with his shoes again.
Suddenly a head popped out of one
of the berths and a man shouted:
"Say, porter, what are we stopping
here for?"
"Oh," answered the porter, ave

PIRATES OF THE SULU SEA.
Their Attack Upon Fleet Of Pearling
Boats-The Leader Jikiri.

Captain Charles Pfort, Of the
steamship Borneo, brought the start
ling news from Jolo that the pearl1ng
feet of four boats belonging to B.
Heaton-Ellis had been attacked by
Moros while at anchor near the town
of Parang.
The Moros surrounded the pearlers
and began the attack at long range.
To this fire the crew Of the pearlers
responded to the best Of their ability,
but having a very limited number
of arms and a small amount of am
munition their defense did not
amount to much. Two of the pearl
ing luggers Immediately got up sail
and were able to escape.
AS the steamship Borneo was leav-
ing Jolo a pearler was being toWed
in by a launch, but being pressed for
time Captain Pfort could not wait to
hear the details of the affair. How
ever the report that he brought 1s
that four or five men were killed and
several wounded and n of the boats
was scuttled and sunk by the pirates.
It is thought that the attack was
organized and directed by Jijiri, b
famous outlaw whose band killed the
lumbermen Vermont and Case some
thing more than a year ago.
While it is doubtless true that
many of the crimes committed In the
Moro province and credited to Jikiri
were perpetrated by others, this last
f%erocious attack on the pearlers was
most probaly the work of Jikiri's
band. It is known that his followers
now amount to a considerable num-

Seldom do we find wits among the

in a south end station may be in a
class with George Ace. Recently a
newly made patrolman, doing his
route along the Common, discovered
the frog pond to be overfowing.
1t seems that those in charge had
neglected to shut off the inlet, and as
a result the water trickled over the
edges. Thinking that the matter

PANAMA AN OBJECT LESSON.
It Has Set a Sanitary Standard For
Future Undertakings.

Aosu4S
The building of the Panama Canal
and the sanitary record of the Japan
csc in their wal with Russia are the
two great object lessons Of recent
years, demonstrating that men can
neither work nor fight to the best
advantage unless protected from in
fictitious and preventable diseases.
The civilized nation which will
hereafter put an army in the field
or undertake a great engineering
problem without first preparing the
way by adequate sanitary engineering
and equipment will be regarded by
the other nations, says the Medical
News, as quite as foolish as a govern
ment which would build a vast fleet
of modern warships and then arm
them with muzzle loading ordnance
of 100 years ago.
An epidemic of typhoid fever in a
military camp should be considered
a greater disgrace to an army than a
defeat in battle since defeat may
come in spite of the greatest exer-
tons and the highest wisdom, while
typhoid and yellow fever would be
the result of ignorance or disregard
of we'll known laws Of prevention.
All nations will profit by the sanitary
lesson of the Panama Canal.
The scourge of yellow fever against
which the French struggled in vain,
has not been seen there since May,
1906, although it exists at several
points to the north and south of the
Canal Zone. Bubonic plague has
not appeared since August, 1905, but
that disease also has broken out not
far away. No case of smallpox has
been reported during the year.
