ISLAND OF MYSTERY

From Wide World Magazine.
Less than 5000 miles from the city of
New York, and about a third of that dis
lance from San Francisco, there is sit
uated, in the upper reaches of the Gulf
of California small island, worthless
even for so mean purpose as the rails
ing of goats, but nevertheless a center of
attraction for the ethnologists and arch
biologists of the Old and New Worlds for
many generations
This rock peak, rising from the quiet
waters of the gulf is known as Tiburon
Island. Tiburon Is Spanish word.
which, translated into English, means
shark" The waters around the islet are
literally swarming with these tigers of
the sea- and the inhabitants of the island
are said to be no less ferocious than the
shark. Tiburon is peopled with handful
of Indians. the only aborigines of their
kind in the world, known as Serbs. They
are reputed to be cannibals, to be so
fierce that none of the mainland tribes of
Mexican redskins ever dare to invade
their shores and to possess the secret of
manufacture of peculiarly deadly pois-
on, with which they prepare their arrows
before battle.

COW HAS A WOODEN LEG
From the Pittsburg Leader.

In celebration Of his pet Jersey cows
third anniversary with wooden leg,
David Evans, farmer who lives just
over the Trumbul county line at Mosier,
has invited Humane Agent Williams and
other officers of the Humane society to
see how handily the bovine walks on the
pine-support
According to Evans story the COW was
hit by train more than three years
ago. The right front leg was cut off at
the knee. After removing the injured
animal to comfortable barn nearby its
owner went about healing the injury.
This done, pine scantling. 2x4, was ar
tistically whitfield down to resemble the
lost portion of the leg. A substantial
block was attached to the bottom to take
the place of the hoof. while padded
socket joint was placed on top so that 1t
might be fastened to the stump.
According to the owner of the COW, the
cow found the wooden leg awkward for
short time, but soon learned to use it
almost as effectively as she did her nat
ural legs. She has been walking on her
peg for three years, and is one Of the In
teresting sights of the neighborhood.

all obstacles will be removed from the
path of the tidal wave that seems TO be

The state conventions are held late
In New York-in September or October,
and thus far i is not plain whom the
democrats or republicans will nominate

Colonel Roosevelt may come home and

Get Rid Of the Flies

The month of June is month of flies,
and all intelligent men know that the fly
is a menace to human life. The busy in
sect is not simply pest and annoyance
lit IS a distributor of disease germs and
infection wherever it is permitted to go.
A kitchen or pantry that is not screened
IL simply an invitation to disease to en-
ter int invade that household, especial
" if It be full of children. But the
housefy distributes typhoid germs as
readily as it does germs of scarlet fever
belly pick up germs regardless of their
nature.
No dealer should be patronized who
does not screen all eatables he has to
sell and the hotel or restaurant that per-
mits a fly to enter commits a grave Of
Tense against its guests and the com
mun.ty as well. The time is passed when
people regard swarms of flies about
viands cooked or uncooked with uncon-
Germ. Flies now take away the appetite

while the city authorities would be lett
free to watch stables, muckheaps and
garbage barrels where the eggs of flies
are Matched out.

mKILKENNY CATS,

From the st. Louis Times.
The expression, Kilkenny cats" comes
from an old Irish fable, which says two
notorious cats fought so long and flu
riously that only their tails were left.
This Is said to be satire of the dis
pute between the municipalities of Kill
kenny and Trishtown over boundary lines
ard other matters. These towns are said
to have fought so long and desperately,
in the seventeenth century. that both
we're reduced to bankruptcy. According
to some authorities the story Is founded
on fact and that it had its origin in the
Irish rebellion. According to those it was
the pastime of the Hesslan soldiers gar
risoned at Kilkenny to tie twy cats to-
gether by their tails and toss them across
a clothesline for a fight. One of the Of
ficers caught the soldiers at their cruel
sport one day, when one of the soldiers
drew knife and cut off the cats tails
When asked for an explanation of the
severed tails the soldiers said the cats
had devoured all else

Decrease In the Car Surplus

Following the panic of 1905 the sur
plnsage of freight cars rose to a maxi
mum of 41SsSS. A post-panic minimum
was reached last February when only
1899 cars were standing unused on the
switches
From February 1s until May Il the
number of idle cars was, however, in
creased. On the latter date the sur
plus cars numbered 1888 But here
the pendulum swung back, for on May
% the date of the last report of the
car. association. a decrease of II 1853 in
the total number of surplus cars was
reported. At present there are 11o6il
freight cars of all sort unused. This total
includes box, fiat, coal, gondola, hop
and other kinds of cars.
There is. perhaps, no better indication
OF the trend in general business than
the car SURPRISES and shortages. When
every car is in use it is beyond contra
diction that crops are abundant, indus
tries thriving, and trade active. All
cars are not at present in use, but the
surplusage is not large, and if it is de-
creased each two weeks as 1t was in
the two weeks just reported, there will
soon be no surplusage at all.

The City Attorney

The brief statement headed city At

which appeared on the second page of
last Sundays Age Herald was adver-
Using matter and should have been so
indicated. The usual mark was left
off only by accident. It is The Age
Herald's invariable rule tc keep out of
its news columns everything like bia )
or editorial expression. The fact is that
Robert H. Thach as city attorney looks
only after the legal end of this mu-
nieipality and that being so his office
is in nowise affected by the Birming-

Mr.. Thach is one of the ablest, most
Industrious and most conscientious at :

so long as he holds the position the
city's interests will be thoroughly pro-
tected.
