Vo0D00ISM IN HAITI.

The Vexed Question Of Human Saeri'
fee In the Worship.
That the hold which the voodoo
worship has on the people ofsHaiti Is
stronger than the power of the church
is shown by the fact that the day be-
fore the writer's inspection Of WOO
doc temple in the mountains, where
he saw six goatskin drums, aRoman
Catholic priest had visited the district
and made his ministrations conditional
on the people destroying their instru-
ments, but they refused. The govern
ment does not, as a rule, Interfere
with the practices Of the cult on &C.
count Of the political influence OF Its
leaders. S%$s,
The question whether human flesh is
now eaten in connection with the VOC
doc ceremonies is perplextng one,
which it is impossible to answer with
any degree Of confidence. Local opin-
ion is divided on the matter. Some as
sert that the practice is secretly in
vogue; others categorically deny it.
No one can be found to state that he
has been an eyewitness Of any such
sacrifice. The conclusion which the
writer came to is that there - mo or
ganized human sacrifice taking place
as q part of the voodoo ceremonial,
but that in ordinary life an occasional
instance of cannibalism occurs-as
murder cases occur in civilized coun-
tries-where the perpetrator, probably
from a tribe Of anthropophagi becom-
ing temporarily insane or highly ex-
cited, reverts to the aboriginal habit.
It should be added that public opinion
generally reprobates the act, and the
educated Haitien Is thoroughly asham-
ed of the dark stain which lies upon
his country.-Lond0n Times.

It was the famous Bonn library Of

started his library In 1848 and began

For one thing he began purchasing

Of standard works and translations-
and printing cheap editions from them.

Winter.

In winter nature ceases from her la
bors and prepares for the great change
The wind sweeps through the great
forest with a sound like the blast of a
trumpet: The dry leaves whirl In
eddies through the air. A fretwork
Of hoary frost covers the plain. The
stagnant water n the pools and bitches
IS frozen Into fantastic figures. In the
low hanging clouds the sharp air, like
a busy shuttle, weaves her shroud Of
snow. There is melancholy and con-
tinual roar in the tops Of the tall
pines like the roar Of cataract. It
Is the funeral anthem Of the dying

KEY TO SITUATION.

DAYTON, Wash, Sept. ia STRAIT
eSic warfare was Geo-Gred TINS week
by the Washington Traction company
against the Walla Walla and Columbia
Traction company and new color is
given to the electric railway situation
in the Touchet valley. Both corpora
tions propose to finance the conStruc-
ton of the electric line from Dayton
to the Columbia river
The power site on the Tukanon near
the ranch of Representative R. A.
Jackson is TO be the scene of the first
clash. Advantage was taken this week
ty engineers of the Washington COM
lany of the survey made by the other
company for a power site, f1ume ano
cam across the Tukanon, when Il force
Ct men was put to worl: to construct
the big dam across the river. Prof. w.
d. Lyman and DR.. Blalock of Walla
Walla are in charge of the construction
" ork
DR.. Blelock claims that the Walla
Walla and Columbia Traction company
forfeited the water right by neglecting
to make the required Improvements
and begin actual construction. 1t is be-
lieved a force of men will be rushed TO
the site to forestall, if possible, the
aSgressiveness OF the BlalOck people.
The Tukanon power site is the key to
the elec trio railroad situation and the
loss of it by either of the companies
will be a distinct advantage for the
ether.
According to L. NJ Willis. who lives
near the power site, the Washington
Traction company is experiencing diff
fculty in securing rights of way for a

As each pound of beeswaX represents
several pounds of honey all cappings
removed when preparing combs for the
exterior as well as all scrapings and
trimmings and bits of drone comb
should be saved and rendered into wax.
This is best done in a solar wax ex-
tractor, the essential parts of which are
a metal tank with wire-cloth strainer
and glass cover. The bottom of the
metal tank is strewn with pieces of
comb. the glass cover adjusted, and the
whole exposed to the direct rays of the
sun. A superior quality of wax filters
through the strainer. The main advan-
tages of the sun extractor are its avail
ability at all times during the summer
and the slight bleaching of the bees
wax which remains a few days in it.
During the busy months. when YOU are
likely at any time to have a few small
