(By NJ. TYLER IRoNs)

Every boy and girl on every farm
In the country should be taught very
early In life that under no circum-
stances should they undertake to lead
an animal of any kind by tying the
lead strap around the wrist or around
the body. or fastening II to them
selves in any way. There is hardly a
week that the papers do not contain
q report Of some child or some young
man or girl being dragged to death
by a frightened or angry animal.
From the time he is big enough to
work around stock the child should be
taught how to lead an animal and he
should be SO repeatedly warned
against tying the lead strap to him.

What You Are Most
Apt TO Die From

every individual
~ feels a strong desire TO know
~ from what cause death is most
apt TO come upon him. Science, after
years of careful study, now offers a
sort of guide based on the various
ages OF different persons. Prof. Won
den Veiden of Munich. has made up
careful table, and claims TO know
what disease is most apt 20 kin a
man or woman at a certain age.
For instance, that dread scpurage
tuberculosis spares the infant, excep
in the second half of the third year,
when there is a startling death rate
among children from this disease. 1t
is between 20 and 80 years that
tuberculosis reaps the bulk of it's
grim and awful harvest. After 80
years the probability of death from
this disease decreases rapidly, and in
proportion until the 50-year mark is
past.
But just before the immunity from
tuberculosis is about 20 end, say at
45 years, the terrible scourage cancer
begins to cut the threads of human
life. Beginning shortly before 80
years, cancer springs into the first
place as the death cause. Before 45
cancer is almost unknown as a gen.
eral cause of mortality.
Pneumonia kills mostly before Is
wears OF age. then it let's mankind
largely alone until so years is past,
when 1t again figures high in the
death list. Ii is a cowardly, sulking
enemy and kills on the old folks and
the children. Cerebal apoplexy, or
what old fashioned folks used to call
stroke" kills few before the age
of so, while typhoid kills usually be-
tween 10 years and 20.
The heart and kidneys seldom
cause a fatal disease until after 80,
and then the heart usually is affected
only from some other disease, such
as rheumatism or pneumonia.
What is commonly called the larg-
est organ of the body. namely the
liver. also has the best records for
honest and faithful service. The
death OF men and women from direct
liver disease are comparatively very
rare. Also it is seldom affected uD-
til the meridian of life is we'll past.
Pleurisy as a death cause is unim-
portant until after so, and then in 80
cases out of 100 ii usually merely
comes In at the eEf o. general
health breakdown or to put quietus
to the sufferings from some better
known disease Meningitis is practi-
oally a child's disease and seldom
kills or even attacks mankind once
L. years have been attained.
Thus between 80 and 80 human life
is much the safest and between 10
years and 30 years the disease 10
guard against is tuberculosis, which
i fortunately. nowadays can be intelli-
gently warded off apd even cured.
After SC years little can be done ex-
cept to live sensibly. II is then that
men and women who have lived care
full lives begin to reap the benefits
of their prudence. 1t is then, how
ever. that the scourage of cancer be-
gins its mysterious killings of mil
lions yearly. Science is still practi-
caily powerless to do more than re-
lieve some OF the agony caused by
this disease, which is now ranked as
the most formidable enemy OF long
lived human race.

Speculation on the Market
Takes a Halt.
TONE BECOMES STRONGER
Expectation Of Strong Bank Returns
to be Published After Close Of Bust
ness Gives Encouraeement-Fav-
orable Crop Report Looked For.
by Associated Press.l


NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Nothing OF
importance occurred in the stock
market today. Speculation halted
TO await events. Expectation OF a
strong bank return to be published
after the close of the market and be
lief that the government report on
condition of the grain crop TO be pub
lished on Monday would prove fav-
orable. strengthened the tone of the
market The demand was cautious
and very meagre, but supplies or
stocks for sale were lacking and
prices were easily affected by very
light transactions.
Amalgamated Copper was influence
cd to some extent by the cheerful
views of the trade outlook expected
by the head of the company. The
conservative tone of the commercial
reviews and reports of further severe
ourtailments of cotton goods produc-
lions had a restraining effect on de-
mand and for stocks. rhe small de-
mand for commercial paper by the
New York banks and the scanty Of
ferings of funds for time loans, in
spite of the surface rebundance of
money supply, does not escape notice
and is taken to reflect the anXieties
over the fall money markets. Init
1nations from Washington that the
2O,000, 900 of government bonds for
reclamation purposes might be offer
ed in October, made a new factor
for consideration in the money mar
let.

Will the Consumer Combine ?

From the New York Tribune.
1t is not necessary to guess how inn
portant will be the effect of the meat
strike" which now appears to be spread
ing rapidly over the country. The strik-
ers may be in earnest. or there may
be much talk, but little resolute action.
as in the case of the cotton growers
combinations. which vowed to burn a GER
tain percentage of the big crop of a few
years ago. and which, if we mistake not,
actually did burn one bale. But what
ever the course of the strike may be,
the movement is significant as the first
considerable attempt at joint action on
the part of consumers. While producers
have been uniting to control or regulate
prces-we believe regulate is the less Of
fensive Worthwhile trusts have been
forming, while even farmers have been
uniting into cotton, tobacco and grain
growers associations to limit the supply
of produce, while laborers have been get
ting together to agree among themselves
how much labor they would sell and how
much they would demand for it, the con-
sumner has gone on serenely Indifferent
to what was being done by those who
supplied his wants. Now something has
happened to his pocketbook. Will he.
too, initiate his enemy and form COM
binatiOns?

Time Tellers.

If the cOnfereeS on the District appro-
priation bill agree to an item that was
inserted yesterday by the Senate at the
instance of Mr.. Bacon of Georgia Wash
ington may have u Big Ben tolling
out the hours. Mr.. Bacon'S amendment
appropriates thousand dollars "for
the purpose of defraying the expense OF
devising and putting in operation some
device by which accurate time at a
stated hour may be communicated daily
to the various parts of the city Of
Washington" This. it IS to be noted
does not necessarily mean bell l,
may be whistle. 1t may be a series of
small tooters on the fire engine houses
or the police stations. If the amend
ment is adopted by the conference i,
will be for the Commissioners to decide
what is the best way to tell the time to
all parts Of the city. Meanwhile. 1t is
justifable to suggest that possibly Sen
ator Bacon is not thoroughly acquainted
with local conditions. In explanation
of his proposal yesterday he said:
Il happen to live in part of the city
where the post Office clock cannot lie
heard and where no other public clock
can be heard. There are fewer public
clocks in Washington city than in any
city one-fourth its size In the United
States or any other part Of the civilized
