RACtSA. Dalmatia, April u, 1910.
From Spalato, the hermitage Of Do
cietian, to Ra .uSa, once the home OF
Richard Occur de Lion, and the most
beautiful place on the Dalniatian coast
is nights ride by steamer, and there
are two lines operateds by the Austrian
lloyd and the Ftnungarian-Croatia tan
Steamship Company The former has the
larger and more comfortable boats, and
runs from Trieste three times a week
The Hungarian steamers make the pas
sage from F'iune on alternate days, 50
that there is practically a daily service,
and it is quite regular as railroad
trains would be. The drawback. how
ever, for there is fly in every jar of
ointment, is the late hours these steam
erS keep and the inconvenience of get
ting to and from them at the several
ports between sunset and dawn There
are no carriages 10 be had and the
streets Of the towns are SC narrow that
they would be practically useless. If
the steamer is late, as il sometimes il,
the passengers have to stand on an open
pier without shelter or even a place to
sit down. We landed at Spalato half an
hour after midnight and had to walk
to the hotel for ten minutes or more in
pouring rain, and at every other step
was Il puddle ankle deep. We had to
leave al the same hour another night
under similar circumstances. Everybody
has TO walk, 30 matter how hard it
rains.
And then there Is no way Of reserving
cabins. All passengers have to take their
chances. 1t is impossible to find cut if
the boat is filled or not until it arrives,
and il the former case the only alternative
is to st up until morning i'll a stufy sa
loon or smoking room or find a place to
Tocst on the deck, which is usually pref
cradle. People in this part of the world
are used to such things, but the average
American tourist is not, and he is likely
to express his opinion freely of the man
agement, although in the morning. after
lie has seen Ra2uSa OF any other Of the
romantic old towns, he forSets all his
troubles and incQnveniences and Tejoices
with every breath he draws that lie WAS
able to come at all.

There is always something impress
sive about a crowd that is swayed by
a single emotion; you get an impress
sion of force, says Mary Heaton
Worse in Success Magazine. These
women, who few moments ago had
been quiet shoppers. formed a mob.
They swayedand pushed as though
moved by a common impulse toward
a table where We're the embroideries.
From their throats came a little dull
growl, a curious noise-the whisper
of mob. The noise of mob in ioy
or in anger or in fright, or Just its
restless murmur as 1t waits. is diff
ferent from any other noise that
comes from the human throat
quite distinct, of curious animal
timber. ! heard it once on the oc-
casion of the throwing Of bomb;
again from crowd waiting for a
bank to opens and third time In a
theater when fire had been called
and now here it was in miniature

What nearhIarv ono. M.ant.

"Garble," ''garbled," "garbler," are
words which nowadays convey quite a
different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. "Garble" orig
inally signified simply ito select for
purpose" At one time there was an
officer, termed ''the garbler Of Spices"
whose duty 1t was to visit the shops
and examine the spices, ordering the
destruction Of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those Of the in
spector of the modern health depart
ment, who forbids the sale Of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat. The word
comes from a root meaning ito sift."
The impurities sifted out have in the
course Of generations corrupted the
term till "garbled report is no long

has been removed, but one that is full
of Misrepresentation and made mis-
leading with deliberate intent.

MAYOR LENTz
IN ATTACK ON

Newark, May 17:-Five thousand
persons attended the German Day eele-
bration in Electric Park, in Newark.
yesterday afternoon and last night.
There was a continuation of the festivi-
ties which began on Sunday. There
were athletic contests, choral singing
by various German singing societies.
folk games and dancing.
There was also some speeehmaking,
sensational feature being lengthy
talk in German by Major Carl Lentz,
erst-while republican boss of Essex
county and until a few months ago 4
member of the State Board for the
Equalization of Taxes.
He discussed the doctrine of person.
al liberty at length and then made
bitter attack upon Governor Fort,
denouncing the New Jersey chief ex-
ecutive in terms so strong as to aston~
ish his hearers. His language was such
that even German newspaper men de-
ciared that they would not print It.
Major Lentz accused the Governor
of various offenses in public life and
of political character and scored him
roundly. He also declared that his at
tack was not because of any personal
feeling because Governor Fort turned
him down for reappointment as a State
Tax Board member in the face Of pow

What a Rat Gam DO.

The rats sight is not particular
ly good,' says writer in McClure's s.
Magazine for May, "but its smell is
keen, nd its sense of locality so per-
feet that it will run through it's holes
and galleries In pitch-darkness at
full speed. The great Cuvier used
especially to admire the rats tail,
which he said had more muscles than
the human hand. Careful expert
ments by Romanes, moreover, have
proved the truth of the ancient be-
lief that, by letting down its tail and
licking the end, the rat extracts oil,
milk, wine, molasses. and other
fluids from deep or narow-necked
vessels.
"No single point, think, illus
trates better thesagacityof the rat
than the way in which it eats an egg
1t bites through the shell and chips
off small fragments as neatly as a
squirrel opens nut, consumes the
entire contents without spilling a
drop, and then sits up and licks it.
self clean Hike cat. Rats will steal
the eggs from under a sitting hen:
in Washington, D. c., they carried
off seventy-five dozen eggs which a
commission merchant had incauti-
ously stored in a wooden tub.
"Their method of handling eggs is
also characteristic, An egg is as
large for rat as a barrel for a man
and much more fragile Yet there
is evidence of the fact that they pass
eggs along from one to another, all
though not, probably, as has often
been reported, by forming long lines,
like bucket brigade. The operation
is, naturally. difficult one to OBJ
serve; but apparently 1t takes two
rats to each egg. One holds the egg
in it's paws, passes it on to the other
and then runs ahead to take 1t once
more In its turn. The same device
seems to be employed to carry an
egg downstairs. the one that has the
egg passing it to its companion,
which stands on the step below. Co
ing upstairs, however, at least in
some cases, each rat puts it's head
between its fore paws and pushes the
egg up with its hind feet. Such ap-
pears to be the general procedure. !"

CROPS
INJURED IN
new JERSEY

trenton, May 17:=After the early
spring showed excellent chances of
splendid crops in New Jersey, Secre-
tary Franklin Dye, of the State
Board of Agriculture, was forced
on Monday to send out a bulletin Of
crop conditions showing that the
rains and late cold weather have had
a bad effect on the crops. Mr.. DYE
says in his bulletin
In the middle and southern coun-
Ties corn and potato planting is fin
ished. In the more northerly coun-
ties 1t is progressing as the weather
permits. In some portions of the
southern counties, south of Trenton.
potato seed has rotted from five to
twenty-five per cent. This is a seri-
Gus loss to the farmers, thus Affect
ed. The acreage planted to pota-
toes is increased from five to thirty
three per cent. Corn acreage is the
same as last year.
Wheat and rye give promise of a
good harvest, unless Injured later
Grass for hay is not up to the aver
age condition at this time of the
year
Peaches are reported in good
condition, with fair prospects of an
average yield.
Apple bloom was abudnant where
trees were in good condition. Orch
ards, however, throughout the state
have been greatly reduced by the
San Jose scale.
Pears and cherries have bloomed
abundantly.
Strawberries in some sections
have been injured by frost, varying
from five to thirty-five per cent.
In general the season is two
weeks earlier than usual"

waII Paper. Effect on Germs.

The physical and physiological eff
fects of wall paper on human beings
have aroused the interest of English
and French scientists. 1t Is asserted
on authority that wall paper of GER
tain kind is extremely Injurious to the
health. while paper Of certain colors
aids in destroying disease germs. Ellis
abeth Hyatt Woolf in an English mag
azine discusses the subject at length.
She says some wall paper of an infe-
rior quality Is made from pulp OBJ
tanned from cutters, and 1t is injuri
GUS. She asserts that in Il recent coro-
ner's Inquest DR.. Charles Smythe of
London testified that death of man
was due to arsenicai poisoning from q
bedroom wall paper. The doctor said
that the body of the patient had alb
sorbed the poisoning from the paper.
On the other hand, French scientists
say that wall paper OF certain kinds
acts on harmful disease germs by driV-
ing them from sickr0om. The tuber-
culosis germ, DR.. de Bosco and DIR.
Lydia Rabinovitch assert, has disap-
peared under the influence of enamel
ing eolors in a bedroom. In like way
such colors are reported to have driven
typhoid, cholera and diphtheria from a
house. Yellow Is regarded by these
experts as tonic. Red is helpful In
killing disease germs and also as a
cure for the blues.
