X Grave in the Desert

From Adventure.
 El-Achiri would have screamed. but Sam s. hands ground his face into the sand: he would have drawn his knife, but the Soudanese had forestalled him. draw ing it and driving it into the save-driver's s breast with single motion.
 Tn a couple of minutes they had scooped out a hole in which they tumbled the slave-drivers body with the fragments or the broken gun. and they drew sand over it in great double handfuls until it was covered to the. depth of three feet. The Berbers tossed great handfuls of sand into the air. the dead mans garments Tapped by the other two drove the dry, fine stuff like chaff over the grave, and in a moment all trace of the grave, of hu- man handiwork and of the struggle, was obliterated

Grem Collection of No Value

From the Boston Herald.
 The hobbies of the rich collectors are sometimes as silly as tn ose of the street boy A French ban..er who died recently left collection of G3,00o cigar bands, each differing in some par tlcular from the others.
 These had cost him 5U years of smol- ing and had been arranged sYstemati- cally in a number of specially con- structed cabinets. None of his children shared his taste. so it was decided to sell the bands. When put up to auc- tion the collection which had entailed the expenditure of so much time and money realized 10 cents.

A PhIIosopher,s Musings

From Smart Sei
 The truth of today is the lie of yester- day. and it will be the paradox of tomor- row.
 At the final analysis all one egets out of life is board and rooms and a sense of achievement
 In many a marriage. as soon as the home is established Duty enters at the door and Love flies out at the window. You can't make truth out of lie by standing the lie on its head.
 Time. is not otlmoney--it cannot be hoad- cd; it must be spent, whether one will Or not.
 If religion is the consolation of the soul, then art is the consolation of the intellect, and love, of the heart

of the kind are of everyday occurrence but as rule very little is heard of them.
 Not very long ago the men of the North Atlantic fleet dug canal about 300 yards. long and about 8 feet deep at Culebra Porto Rico This canal was built to provide an exit from the harbor for small boats, torpedo craft etc., and also to give better circulation for the water in the then closed harbor of Grlebra. The work required about three months.
 Destroys DereIicts
 One of the duties of the navy is to destroy derelicts wherever found This is usually done after some vessel reports a derelict in some part of the world, or one of our, war vessels in its tireless wandering of the seas comes across one. There are also the deep sea sound- ings. The soundings of the Pacific ocean for the laying of the great Pa cifc cal ble7 Were accomplished by our war vessels ins record time. - In a scien- ti6c way,s it is claimed. and with good reason therefor that the United States navy has done more along this line than any other navy in the world.
 Visits of our war vessels to foreign ports are made partly with a view to having our men become acquainted with the foreigner on his home ground as a result of which, it is claimed. our men become more broad minded. and fair in their treatment of the foreigner and of one another The foreigner also has an opportunity to become better informed as to American manhood. and on the whole the idea seems to be to implant a feel ing of respect each for the other.
 A glance at the map of the world which hangs on the wall in, the office of the bureau of navigation at Washington would soon convince anyone of the vast territory covered by the United States navy. Large pins stuck all over, the map show the location of the various vessels-some' at Hongkong. at Nagasaki in Japan. at ports in the. Philippine islands. at Guam, at India ports, scat tered among various ports on the At lantic side of Europe, up and down the Atlantic seaboard of the United States and South America. up and down the Pacific seacoast of the United States and South America-and. in fact, all most every conceivable place in the world-there you will find the watch dogs of Uncle Sam, on the lookout for the doing of acts of mercy as well as taking care that American citizens are respected wherever they may be.

 Thanks to Mir Lazarus and The Age Herald. we are now going to have the free lodging house. You say this morn ing If" the people will contribute 4so-I say they "will' contribute that and more. Let's start list of names of the people who (when they retire at night to an inviting bed in warm and cheerful room) feel sorry for the poor fellow being who is compelled to walk the streets to keep from ffeez- ing. I believe there are some people in this city who have once been in the sam pityable condition, but are now surrounded with comfort and luxury. They are the ones who will be sorry to some purpose. MT.

SANITARY CONDITIONS In CAM
BRIDGE
And What The Board Of Trade And
Citizens Can Do To Improve Them.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN:
consider myself particularly fortun'
ate to be called upon to address pub
lie audience in Cambridge. Not alone
because Cambridge represents very high
ideals in the profession of which am
member nor because some of the most
eminent members of our profession. are
residents of this town, but mainly be-
cause any address which could make
on a subject of this kind would neces-
ssrily be very frank, and l am FORUM
stelv able to truthfully say some things
which | am sure will be agreeable to
you about sanitary conditions in Cam
bridge as we'll az to make some CRITICS.
ms about Cambridge which | hope you
will take in good part. l may say fo'
Cambridge that most of the sanitary
conditions which have to criticize ap-
DIV to other Maryland towns in equal
or greater degree.
consider it particularly fortunate
that this meeting should be held under
the auspices Of your Board of Trade be
cause we have had recently some bril-
liant aud conspicuous examples OF what
Boards of Trade can accomplish in 9TH
er cities when they grasp the fact that
the public health is one Of the greatest
of their responsibilities, not only from
the humanitarian, but merely from the
commercial standpoint. The Board OF
Trade of New Orleans showed beyond
the possibility of dispute what repre-
sentative commercial body could &C
complish during the yellow fever cpl
demic of 1906. The Board of Trade OF
san Francisco has furnished like con-
spicuous example in the work Of the
Citizens Committee in the eradication
of bubonic plague which has been
hight upon the commercial prosperity
and advancement Of San Francisco ever
since the year 1900.
hope it will not be necessary to i'm
press upon this audience the fact that
. low death rate is the greatest COM
mer.-ial asset which any town can pos
se,s. Another asset of the highest val
lie 10 any town or city is a good water
snonlv and proper system of sewage
disposal. As regards your water supply
/ may say that it has repeatedly been
investigated and analysed by the de-
partment of the State Government
which | have the honor to represent
and has ALWAYS been found free from
the pollutions which too frequently ex.
list 10 many of the water supplies of this
State. Cambridge is also, one Of the
