GEORGE LEVERETT.

Last Saturday night the spirit Of
little George Leverett, eleven years
old, took it's flight After a struggle
with the grim reaper of several
months he gave up the fight-a vic
tim of the dread tuberculosis.
Last January he was on the list Of
carriers for the Daily News and little
did his companions think then that
the white plague had marked him.
His body was laid to rest Tuesday
in the local burying ground.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. E.
Leverett, have the sympathy Of those
who know them and knew the, bright
little George.

WAR ON AMERICANS.
Foreigners Are Not Wanted on the
Railroads of Meco.

Monterey, Mex.-War upon Ameri-
can railroad men in this republic has
been resumed by the native employees
of the railroad companies. These ma
tives claim that they are discriminat-
ed against and that foreigners fill the
more important positions to the det-
riment and injury generally of the
Mclean railroad workers.
The native unions have appointed
committee of sixty to go to the City
of Mexico and present their grievances
to President Diaz. They think it thus
possible to dislodge the American and
other foreigners employed in the rail
way service.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PIGS?

The fire that destroyed The Enter

We have recast the metal into pigs

EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
Three Things a White Person Must

Three Things a White Person Must
Have to Live There.
Without a mosquito bar a white per
son would be unable to live on the
equator, writes Ida Vera Simonton in
the Delineator
No matter how hot and sitting the
highland no other place can be so
sitting as the equatorial African
night during the long rainy season in
the midst of the jungle--one must
sleep under a closely tucked in mos
quito bar, not the ventilated kind civ
ilization knows, but one of closely
woven stuff through which no air cir
culates.
When the mosquito bar was let
down it took in almost the entire room,
but it proved especially useful in sick
ness and convalescence. 1t permitted
existence free from insect bites. AS
malaria is the white mans most in
sidious foe and comes from the bite
of the mosquito. every precaution must
be taken against it, Three things are
absolutely necessary in Africa-a mos
quito bar, a water filter and Quinine.
The bed was made by a native car
penter. The frame was of wood, the
Stats of bamboo ribs fitted closely to-
gether with the pith side uppermost.
They didn't give a bit and were an
excellent dancing floor for the dried
plantain leaves which made the mat
tress. The leaves were confined be-
meath ticking tackled TO the four sides
of the bed, but they matted easily. and
every night it was continuous leaf
turning for me. The bamboo was slip
perry, and insomnia kept me and the
leaves on the move. so that most of
the time I slept on a hard surface. My
pillow was of dried sweet smelling
grass. Whoever says that hard beds
are beautifers should sleep upon an
African bed.

you dodge quickly you will never be

Gold Heated Water,

Over 1000 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established by
the Egyptians to purify the waters OF
the Nile. In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk in preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. Cham
pier, writing in 1860, notes that the
habit of drinking hot water was
spreading among all classes in France.
"Some warm it by holding it over the
fire. Others dip burning bread into it.
Rich people plunge a bar of hot gold
into their water before drinking it,
and the less wealthy a bar of hot iron,
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with live COAL"

Hunters Beware

Hunters should read the provi-
sions of the game laws before going
into the woods this year for the law
will be enforced more rigidly than
ever before. Hunters must possess
licences and must carry them upon
their person when they are hunting
in the woods. The law provides a
severe penalty for failure to comply
with this. Hunters should also read
the game laws and learn the open
season for game birds and fur bear
ing animals. If this is done many
fines will be escaped, copies OF the
game laws can be secured at the
county clerks office.

Literary Ghosts"

According to a writer in La Revue
Of Paris, the rank and file of novelists
in France draw on an average 500 for
each book, and many of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand, those at the top Of the
tree earn large incomes, and some Of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill Recourse is
then had to literary GHOSTS" of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago ghost

him two chapters of Mime. Bovary,"

the book in order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con-
fess that she had farmed it out.

'few men could have accomplished

When president of the Players club,

before his death. Mr. Jefferson pre-

WONDERS OF A WATCH.
It's Marvellous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves 1t.

It's Marvellous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves 1t.
We hear much from time to time of
the wonders of this or that complicat-
ed and intricate machine, but there
are few pieces of machinery more mar
velous than that of the common watch.
A watch, it may be stated as gen
eral proposition. is the smallest, most
delicate instrument Of the same num-
Der of parts that has ever been de-
vised. About 175 different pieces of
material enter into its construction.
and upward of 2,4OO separate opera
tons are comprised in it's manufacture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are well nigh incredi-
BILE when considered as whole.
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil in day and, as
matter of course, is glad when Sunday
comes, but the roller jewel of watch
makes every day-and day after day
$4,000 impacts against the fork, or
Isl, 6S0,000 blows during the course OF
q year, without stop or rest-some
3,153, 100000 blows during the space Of
twenty years, the period for which
watch is usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
But the wonder of it does not cease
here. It has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiva-
lent to only four times the force used
In fea's jump. The watch power is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent of a four fea-power. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
27O.OOO,OOO watches.
Furthermore, the balance wheel Of
watch is moved by this four flea-power
! 43-1OO inches with each vibration, or
3,55S% miles continuously in one year.
Not much oil is required to lubricate
the little machine on it's $500 mile

to oil the entire machinery for a years

MANS THREE DUTIES.
A Good Husband, Good Father and
a Good Neighbor.


l have made a code for my own guild
ance which may interest you. l hold
that a mans first duty is to be a good
husband, which implies, Of course, that
he ought to marry and then make his
wife believe, If he can, that she has
been the most fortunate of women.
1t isn't easy-but, my, how it pays!
He must be lover, husband, son and
even father by turns and occasionally
Just nobody-he must get clear off the
earth. But when he comes back
A mans second duty is to be a good
father, which implies, of course, that
he ought to have children-adopted. If
necessary. He ought to be to them
the standard by which all other men
are measured and found wanting, be-
cause he is their daddy and they love
him.
A mans third duty is to be a good
neighbor, to carry his share, no matter
how small or how great it may be, Of
the community's worthy enterprises,
to share the sorrows and the joys of
those around him, to make his home
real asset to his community.
After a man has done these three
things, if he has time and means and
strength, he can and should think in
wider circles. But the man who does
these three well is doing more than if
he contributed millions and neglected
these three. The man who neglects
bors, no matter what other apparently
great things he may have done. will
hear GabriePs trumpet very family if
at all on the morning OF the great day.

THE MILKY WAY.
A Hundred Million Stars Clean In
That C;I><ar,,

-
That SiIvery Scarf.
The census Of the starry sky is con-
cerned almost entirely with the Milky
way. The number Of stars not con-
nected with it is negligible. But when
you look ut the Milky way the idea Of
numbering it's stars seems the dream
~ il mailman. 1t stretches all round
fhe sky Its extent is so unthinkably
immense that science has never under
taken to measure it. and the magma
such i measurement. if it was possible
% make it, would involve.
Yet that whole enormous expanse of
pace occupied by the Milky way is so
rOWded with stars that they make
lp0n the eye the impression of sill

1t requires telescope to see them as

Wilderness in the armament.
III some places they are more thinly
catered. so that, as you gaze through
The glass, you almost think that, with
infinite patience, you might count the
number included in a space as large
rs the face of the moon.
But in other places they seem to be
packed together like the sands of the
seashore. They stretch away over
thousands of square degrees Of space,
hanging in great festoons, spreading
out in vast banners. where billions
upon billions of cubic miles seem to
be filled with stars thicker than the
fakes in a driving snowstorm!
There are begemmed knots in that
starry scarf SO rich that the eye is daz-
lied and the mind confused by the
spectacle which they present.
Yet science, although it shrinks from
trying to estimate the space which
they occupy, has succeeded in forming
a fairly correct enumeration of the
stars of the Milky way.
The most extravagant estimates do
not put the number at more than 300,-
100000, and the most trustworthy and
probable make them third less.
A hundred million stars, then, is the
