The large area in California as
compared with the other States is
due to the fact that in that area the
number OF ticks was comparatively
small.
The policy of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture is to work
only in States and localities where
the State and local authorities are
prepared to assist and where public
sentiment is favorable. Congress
has appropriated $250.000 for the
Federal work during the current fis-
cal year, and appropriations by
States and associations increase the
total sum available for the years
work to approximately 100000.
There is no longer any doubt
that 1t is entirely practicable to ex-
terminate the ticks throughout the
entire region now infested by them,"
says DR.. A. d. Melvin, Chief Of the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry, land the accomplishment OF
this result will be of tremendous
economic advantage not only to the
South but to the whole country. The
rate of progress depends mainly on
two factors-the amounts appropri-
ated by the Federal and State gov
ernments, and the cooperation Of
the people"

direct as a fertilizer. for in such
case It's feeding value is lost; and
that usually coarse farm product
should not be sold off the farm, be-
cause its feeding and fertilizer values
are usually greater than its market
value.
The Great Profit i'm Stock Breeding.
At the present time the high price
of the food supplies produced by live
stock is one of the most important
reasons for keeping live stock on the
farm. The price OF eggs, poultry,
butter, and meats of all kinds is SO
high as to cause universal comment
and very general complaint:
For instance. the cheapest sort of
fat side pork Is selling at from 3 to
/ 5 cents pound and hams and ba-
con at from Is TO 81 cents n pound.
Any farmer OF ordinary intelligence
can produce pork at cost of not to
exceed or cents per pound for
dressed carcass. Here Is splendid
profit II the meat trust Is getting
too much profit. hogs should be
grown on every farm as a means OF
getting some OF this high profit for
the farmers OF the South.

In one case girl died clasping the iron bars of the bed. in horror of be ing borne upward.
 Pieron associates this sensation with the similar sensation of rising and floating in dreams and with that of moving upward and resting on the air experienced by persons in the ecstatic state. In all these cases alike life is being concentrated in the brain and central organs, while the outly- ing districts of the body are becom- ing numb and dead
 Dream flight, it is necessary to note, is not usually the sustained flight of bird or an insect and the dreamer rarely or never imagines that he is borne high into the air. Hutchin- son states that of all those whom he has asked about the matter hardly one has ever known himself to make any high flights in his dreams. One almost always flies low, with a skim ming manner, slightly, but only slight ly, above the heads of pedestrians.
 Bea unis-from his own experience describes typical kind of dream flight as a series of light bounds at one or two yards above the earth, each bound clearing from ten to twsn.

Raveli was great, but Campanini greater. so he volunteered a bit of advice
 The better plan, gentlemen" he said, lis not to mention Campaninis name at all He didn't sing in this opera. If you make comparisons, the public will take them up. I would suggest thaat we agree upon this point: That Ravelli is a very great second tenor. We will congratulate Col. Mapleson on having secured so perfect an artist, so as to make his performance the nights Camp does not sing satisfactory. We will speak of Ravelli as the most perfectly equip ped second tenor who has ever come to the United States"
 The idea took instantly-it was in fact fair statement of the situation and the next day the notices Of Ravelli's debut spoke in high praise of him as a very great second tenor the word second being emphasized in practically every case. The publlc' after listening to Ravelli for several performances, concurred in the view of the critics: Campanini remained unsurpassed; there were tears in his eyes when he embraced General Car roll for his timely act of friendship; and. soon after there was great joy in his heart when Col. Mapleson recog- nized the inevitable, paid Campanint the increased salary which he de- ,,-,,1ol or1 v1-oe yUo11 worth tO that remarkable impresario.

On the night that Ravelli made his debut in the Academy of Music in New York, General Howard Carroll. so intimate a friend of Campanini's that he had visited the latter at his home in Parma, strolled into the press room of the Academy, where the mu- sical critics-all friends of the Gari- oaidian patriot-had met to talk over informally Ravelli's debut. He wanted 10 be fair to RavelH, who was, in fact, a great singer, but they felt them selves in honor bound to protect Cam panini, beyond peradyenture of a doubt a still greater singer, against the little trick of. his manager.
 T am sure l do not know how to write my criticism of Rayellis per loFmanee except to say that Rayelli IS great, but Campanini is greater, D confessed one of the critics, famous in his day. Still another said: "Ra- veIli is a magnificent singer, but Ma pleson is not acting fairly toward Campanini in using Ravelli to Camp s Encouragement, who is much the great CT singer of the two" And so the comment went on for some time, all clearly agreeing that Campanini's voice was by far the better voice
 At last it became apparent to Gen eral Carroll who had been listening to the informal change of views, that the criticisms the following morning would practically all declare that

reply. And I am much better off than Chittenden was after he had dor what l did the other day but to a much greater extent
 q. c. Chittenden, you know, was registrar of the treasury department at Washington during the administra- ton of President Lincoln, and a very capable officer he was We were per sonally on terms of friendship, and, meeting him one day in the streets of Washington-S should say it was in the last months of President Lincoln's life-I noticed that his right hand and arm below the elbow were power less. I wondered whether he was in tue initial stages of the shaking palsy, and knowing him well enough to do so asked him if that were the case. Shaking his head slowly and smiling slightly, he told me the following story-and ever since the day I heard it have held that Mr. Chittenden was . as much a hero for his country's sake as any man who went before the can nons mouth in the Civil war.
 You know began Mr Chittenden to me, as we stood on the edge of the 1 Washington sidewalk, when Charles Francis Adams. our minister to Great Britain. protested against the British government permitting those English built Confederate privateers to sail from the ports of their construction, he was told that the ships would be kept from weighing anchor provided he deposited with the British govern ment within 24 hours 5000 O00 iii gold, so that Great Britain might be pro- tected in case any damage suits were brought against her for holding back the privateers. MT. Adams, as you probably know, had no idea where he could get the necessary gold but that afternoon it was unexpectedly offered 10 him by a man whose name has been kept a secret to this day, that ! being the sole string of the loan. To this good friend of America in need MT Adams offered as security United States government bonds. telling him, however, that he would be obliged to wait for the bonds until word of his deed could be sent by mail to Wash ington-there was no cable working then--and the bonds sent over.
 Well, bv the next steamer Presi- dent Lincoln and Secretary Of State Seward received MT Adams commu- nication, and it at once became necs essary to send five millions in govern ment bonds to MT. Adams by the first steamer to Europe, if possible. It would sail in just 48 hours. We had the bonds, but they were unsigned.
 From that time on until the last bond was signed, just in time to catch the steamer. I did not leave my office except momentarily. I ate in the of fee For hours I could scarcely see the bonds as they lay before me and appended my signature by instinct. But I did the work in time, and the bonds were sent by special mes ! senger to MT. Adams. who, in turn, delivered them promptly to the good friend of the Union who had ad- vanced the five millions in gold. And this'-Mr. Chittenden glanced half smilingly and half ruefully at his powerless right hand and arm-ethis is my scar and wound, a permanent injury, received while doing my duty as a government officer"

hood and Also at Moments Preceding Death.

The sensation of flying is one of the earliest to appear in the dreams of childhood. It seems to become less frequent after middle age. Beaunis states that in his case it ceased at the age of fifty, says a writer in the Atlantic. It is sometimes the last sensation at the moment of death.
 To rise, to fall, to glide away has often been the last conscious sensa- ton recalled by those who seemed to be dying but have afterward been brought back to life. Pieron has noted this sensation at the moment of death in a number of cases, usually accom- panied by sense Of well being. The cases he describes were mostly tuber- culous and included individuals of both sexes and with atheistic as well as religious beliefs.
 In all the last sensation to which expression was given was one of fly ing, of moving upward. In some death was peaceful, in others painful.

WISE WORDS. A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon has views about food. He says:
 T have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health, especially D! hygienic and dietetic laws.
 With such a feeling as to my duq l take great pleasure in saying to fT public that in my own experience 37 also from personal observation I found no food equal to Grape-Nu and that find there is almost no lims to the great benefits this food VII bring when used in all cases Of SICK ness and convalescence.
 Tt is my experience that no physl cal condition forbids the use of Grape Nuts. To persons in health there ' nothing so nourishing and acceptaGt to the stomach, especially at brea7 fast, to start the machinery of the man system on the days work.
 ''In cases of indigestion I know L complete breakfast can be made Grape-Nuts and cream and I think not advisable to overload the stom at the morning meal I also know great value of Ora ape-Nuts when stomach is too weak to digest q food.

ceremony-he had said when extend ing the invitation: Tt won't be much of a scene.' It was clearly apparent that the General was not in the best of health. His complexion, always swarthy when he was in health, had d sort of pasty hue; the contrast be- tween it and the dropping black mus tache and coal-black hair was impress sivelv striking.
 As he rose to receive the committee he leaned heavily upon a chair He listened to the remarks of the chair man as though he was either indiffer- ent or in a sort of a dream. And when, after few perfunctory and formal re- marks. the senator from Illinois began to speak in reply, his hair fell over his forehead, there was a curious, un- healthy brightness In his eyes, and a tone of sadness in his voice which seemed to impress greatly all of us who heard it.
 The ceremony over in a few min utes, the committee withdrew, and l was left alone with the candidate. I sskel him if he were going to write a formal letter of acceptance. "Of course, he replied slowly, and then, after a moment, he added, still speak ing with solemn slowness:
 Tt is great honor to be called by the people of this great republic to serve as their president. It is a great honor to be nominated for that office by a great party. But I have my misgivings. l wish I felt in better physical health. Some have thought that I am indifferent to the honor But that is not so. I am not a well man. I wish my pary had chosen some one of our leaders who is in per. feet health.'
 Two years later John A. Logan lay dead and have always believed that i his primary reason for not wanting to be nominated for the vice-presidency with Blaine was that he knew even i then that he was in the first stages of the organic disease which finally 1 brought him to his death bed, and that he had a premontion that if he were elected to the office he would not live l to serve his term.

Musical Critics All Pronounced Ra VelIi, His Rival imported by Ma. pleson, to Be a Very satisfac-
 tory "Secondf Tenor

h the heyday of the period back in the late seventies and early eighties when Italo Campanini who at II be came one of Garibaldi's famous one thousand, was being heralded as the greatest living tenor and had the mu. sic lovers of two continents at his feet, he went to his English and Amer ican manager, the late Col ]. H. Ma plesun, and demanded a large in crease in salary. The tmpresario listened to his great stars demand with outward equanimity; he realized that Campaniui's voice had done much 10 make his opera seasons at Coveut Garden and in America successful, but he did not propose to grant the Italian the increase in salary demanded if he could help it So, while promising to give the matter serious consideration. he set abut planning in his own way to circumyent Camp" as he was call ed by his friends.
 In time reports began to reach this country from Europe that Col. Maple son had engaged the great tenor Rayelli, who had gained a wonderful reputation abroad with his voice." Then other reports began to appear that the American public would find In RaVelli another voice as glorious as Campaninis even. These reports were judic' 0usly and widely circulated, so that those who were on the outside eagerly awatcd the great Rayelli's ar rival. But Campanini's friends were quick to guess the truth-Col. Maple son was plannng to use Rayelli in such way as to play him off against Cam panini, so that he could shrug his shoulders and say, "Oh, well, I have RaVelli,' when Gampanini inevitably threatened to stop singing unless that extra five hundred dollars a night was forthcoming.
 A prince of good felloWs-in fact, the most popular operatic tenor that has ever vistetd the United Staes- Campanini had many warm friends here, and once they were lon to" Col. Mapleson's little scheme they deter mined to do all they could to see to it that Ravelli was not allowed thus un. justly to supplant his fellow country man; that CamDanini should stand unapproached as the greatest tenor singer of his time until a really better tenor than he arose.

No man ever accepted a nomina- tion for vice-President of the United States more reluctantly than did Gen eral John A. Logan in 1884.

However" said Mary, going farther into the future, the process isn't complete. Freedom is not yet com pletely acquired Children! We want them! We must have them! Yet how often they tie us to unions which have come to be unholy, vile, full of un- cleanness. Women will never be completely free till, besides being able to earn their bread when they are not bearing children, they are relieved of dependence on the individual char acter of another human person while they are.
