Why Liberia is Undevelopei.

From the London Chronicle.
The chief bar to the development ot
liberia is a law by which white men. ara
not allowed TO hold property in the .coun>
try. Capital has therefore gone else
where. and Liberia possesses none OF tho
resources OF modern civilization. There
are no railways in the republic, no<tele-
graph lines, and there In no cable com
munication with the rest OF the world.
Conditions are Just the Same as they
were ninety years ago. when tho state
was founded. The more enlightened T,i-
berians have long since realised that this
prohibitory law Is O mistake They have
tried over and over again to have Il re-
pealed or amended IN such q way, that
European or American Capitalists may
be induced 70 develop tho resources of
the land, but all attempts 30 change the
law have been defeated.

Pennsylvania had sent out a warning
against eating fruit that had not been
washed.
There is no shutting our eyes TO the
danger of eating unwashed raw fruit.
declared Dr. Dixon. in discussing the
necessity of taking every precaution to
guard against typhoid fever and other
communicable diseases. Fruit, which
may look very attractive when served
at a meal has very probably been hand
led by many human hands. transported
long distances and exposed to much dirt
and the visitation Of insects, particularly
flies of various species.
Before raw fruit Is eaten il should be
carefully washed with pure water. and
spoiled fruit, which attracts a great
variety of insects, should never be eaten
raw. The time and energy necessary to
wash raw fruit Is bagatelle alongside
of a case Of typhoid fever. Life is made
up of little things. Little things, as a
rule. start our great epidemics OF dis
ease

SAW A SEA SERPENT
AND LOST THE CAT
Latter Committed Suicide.
Events Recorded on Log
of Norwegian Bark.

NEW YORK. September 3.-The sighting
Of the sea serpent in the Indian ocean
and the suicide of the ships cat at sea
these events, however. having no relation
TO each other-are recorded III the log of
the Norwegian bark Gaa Paa. which
reached her pier in Brooklyn yesterday,
after voyage Of 1875 days from Su-
matra. Details were supplied by Capt.
Hansen, skipper of the bark. who does
not believe i'm letting all the romance
depart from the sea.
Passing the sea serpent is entered In
the log simply as an incident of crossing
a tract of water where all sorts of
strange things are to be seen, but the
death of the ships cat receives more
notice, because it brought the first real
sorrow into the life of Sigrid, the cap
tain's five-year-old daughter, who, with
her mother, was a passenger on the Gaa
Paa.
Little Miss Sigrid. whose conversation
is sprinkled with sea terms culled from
her fathers vocabulary, is probably one
of the widest travellers of her age in the
world She was born in Norway, and
when so small that she was carried on
board i'm her mothers arms she began
her iourneyings. She has now covered a
distance of 1900 nautical miles and Wis

Serpent Twenty Feet Long.

AS to the sea serpent. which was seen
short time afterward, giving no indi-
cation of having swallowed the cat, the
skipper was walking aft in the morning
when one of the men forward reported
a strange shape on the port bow. Capt
Hansen went forward, and there within
fifty feet of his craft was a long animal
not unlike monster eel. Its head was
held erect. It's weighing body was of a
gunmetal color crossed at irregular in
tervals by dull red bands. 1t appeared
to be about twenty feet long, but might
have been more. 1t remained alongside
long enough for all to get a good look
at Ii.

She was an especial favorite of little Miss
Sigrid. and was a pretty large cat by the
time the Gaa Paa reached Batavia, Java.
Somehow, at that port, Kisse discovered
that her vocation was not following the
sea. She spent much time ashore with
vulgar waterfront cats, and when the
Gaa Paa sailed away with Kisse an I'M
willing passenger she gazed long and
wistfully at the land astern as the bark
beat away in a smother of canvas.

the skipper, that she would not come
to her meals Most of the day she sat
in the rigging looking toward where
land had last been seen. She became
worse after we left Padang. One day,
when the Indian ocean was boiling hot

DANGER THAT LIES IN
EATING UNWASHED fruit
Health Officer Woodward Says
Negligence May Result in a
Case of Typhoid Fever.

That all fruit should be thoroughly
cleaned before eating is the latest warn

every possible means of typhoid COM

typhoid bacilli.
Repeated Construction Required.
While the food inspectors of the health
office are watching the stands carefully
to see that the merchants follow the law.
which specifies that certain foodstuffs
shall be guarded from dust and dirt, a
curious difference of opinion about the
method of serving certain fruits makes
it necessary that. every time an inspec-
tor catches a dirty fruit stand the mat
ter shall go to the Police Court.
The law provides that great variety
of foodstuffs shall be covered. mentions
dates and figs specifically and then says
that covers need not be put on fruit OF
the kind Ordinarily cooked, washed or
peeled before being eaten. Therefore,
the court has to decide each time wheth-

is cooked, washed or peeled.

Rain has fallen continuously for the

while it was needed to start plants and
vegetation growing, yet the patience of
the farmer has turned to anxiety over
their wheat crop now nearly ready for
the reaper. The pea crop is nearing its
end for this season, but the scarlet clover
crop for seed has been very nearly
ruined. In conjunction with the ex.
cessively high price Of COW peas, WHICH
are generally used as q substitute for
the scarlet clover when the seed Of it is
scarce or high priced the farmer is in q

COUNTY COMMISSIONS
CHANGING DISTRICTS

1t has been a policy with the County
School Commissions to make few trans.
fers from one district to another, but
occasionally transfers become neces.
sary. Such appears to have been the
only solution Of the situation in a Sus-
sex district and also a Kent district
this month.
For long time there has been fric-
tiOn In operating school affairs in Dis.
trict No. l79, known as Smiths Dis
trict, in NanticOke, near BFidgeville.
The members OF the Sussex County
School Commission finally visited the
locality and went over the situation
with the people, and as a result the in.
terested parties were summoned to Mil
ford last Monday, and a hearing was
held in ArmOry Hall Of the arguments
pro and con. The result was q transfer
OF fourteen persons aud their farms to
districts Y and 76, and that left the re.
quired number In the old district. which
will continue the school. sitter moving |
the school house to another site and
making Improvements. The other peO.
pie transferred will again ask for an
other transfer and the laying out Of a
new district, in which they intend to
Ouild a two room school house.
In Kent County the School Commits
sion has arranged to have the school at
Canterbury seperste from the folks at
Viola, and the latter will build q new
Ichool building at that point. This
natter was gone over by the Kent
JOunty School Commission yesterday,
