SEWAGE DISPOSAL IN THE
 UNITED STATES.

A wrong method of sewage disposal is so often followed by unfortunate consequences that public. attention is more readily directed to sanitary mis- demeanors in this particular than in some other municipal responsibilities. The creation of offensive odors in the vicinity of dwellings and the pollution of public water supplies alike are
 justly visited by sewer condemnation. Outside of professional students of the sewage problem few realize the great strides made in the. past few years in sewage disposal. Not only have Amer can sanitary engineers taken a prOTnl- nent part in establishing the physical and biologic principles that must un- derlie all suitable systems of sewage disposal but in mauy instances local authorities have been quick to apply the most recent information and the most modern methods to the solution of their local problems. A vast amount of carefully conceived and well executed experimental work has been carried out by American states and cities, with the result that each

The large amount of careful planning and of laborious and honest experimenta- tion under municipal auspices and by municipal employees is not a thing to be taken for granted Or to be ignored in passing judgment on democracy. The achievements of American experi- mentors and constructors in the field of sewage disposal bear comparison very. well with those reached any where No amount of tumult and
 shouting, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, should blind us to the fact that urgent munf- cipal problems are being dealt with today. more honestly and effectively than ever before

WIDE USE OF ARSENIC.
More Than 1s,OOo,Ooo Pounds Pro-
 duced and Imported in 1911.

5l
 The production of white arsenic in the United States in 1911 was S,132 tons, valued at s73 4OS, against 1.497 tons, valued at $52, 305 in 1910, dc- cording to a report on arsenic by Frank l.. Hess, just issued by the. United States Geological Survey. The arsenic was obtained as a by-product of smelting operations This output is much the largest ever made in this country, but owing to the low price and the distance of the smelters from. New York, the freight charges absorb ed a large proportion of the profit.
 During the year 4,996 tons of white arsenic, metallic arsenic, and arsenic sulphides, valued at $247,323, were inl- ported. Of this amount 1921 tons was white arsenic, with a value of $116.- 94S. In addition 126,191 pounds of Paris green and London purple. valued at $4,972, were imported. The total pro- duction and importation in 1911 of arr senfc and all arsenic compounds ann ounted to 16. 6.256. 900 pounds.
 The principal uses Of arsenic are in glass making, in pigments, and in .in- secticides. The use of Paris green (aceto- -arsenite of copper1 in paint is. poisonous quality. As an ,insecticide it is used largely by gardeners, or chardists, and farmers. If pure, it is comparatively harmless to plant life, owing to it's insoIubility, but the trtoxide is often present in some quan- tity and if Paris green is then used 1t is fatal to plants, especially in dry cl1- mates, where it is not soon washed off by rains. Experiments conduct ed by a number of the State agricul- turaI experiment. stations have dem- onstrated the value of arsenic when combined with lime as an effective spray against insect pests.
 A number of arsenic salts and oxides are used incidentally, among them the bromide, iodide, trisulphide, trioxide, sodium arsenate, and potassium arsen- ate. Disulphide of arsenic, both nat uraI and artificial, is used as a paint pigment: in calico printing and dye ing. in tanning; and, as it burns with an intense white light, in fireworks. Orpiqnent. the trisu1phide, called also kings yellow, is used as a paint pig nent and as reducing agent in chemical work The trioxide is used in paints: for preserving hides, both for taxidernists and inathe leather in dlIstrv. as an antiseptic; and in kill ing animal pests. Sodium arsenate IS used in dyeing with turkey-red oil and in,~,printing fabrics; the arsenite in making soaps for use on skins and hides. Potassium arsenite is used as a 4reducer for silver in the manufac- ture of mirrors
 A copy of the report on arsenic may be obtained free on application to the Director of the United States Geolog- ical Survey at Washington, D. c.

The cage in which he was descending from his office with two other members of the Cabinet got stuck between floors. Bremen with ladders rescued his companions, but Barroso was too corpulent to be show ed through the space between the ca ge and the side of the shaft. Finally they cut away 8 portion of the roof and hauled him up with ropes.

FOR LOVE OF GRACE
& What a Disappointed Lover =
Would, But Couldn't Do. y

Good night, my sweet wife=to-
be-" called George Bond across
the veranda to the pretty little
woman who stood in the door
way.
He had won her heart and so
he was very happy. AS he swung
jauntily out of the yard into the
road he whistled loudly a gay
tune.
He had just FIVE miles of road
ahead of him, but then, the night
was bright with moonlight and
his heart was bright with love.
George had scarcely rounded
the curve about a mile from his
starting point when a figure dart
ed into the road hundred yards
behind him. George was whist
ling so shrilly and such a riot of
thoughts were racing through his
brain that he did not hear the
brush crack, nor did he look
around to see the plated weapon
blink in the moons rays.

with the revolver. too. He had
hated George since he found he
was winning Grace from him.
That very afternoon he had
sought her hand and hadb failed
in his, errand. He had followed
his rival nearly mile and a half,
storing up murderous thoughts,
when they came to an abrupt rise
in the highway. As George reach
ed the top of this he paused a mo-'
ment to look on the scene of beau
ty about him. His figure stood out

sharply and black against the face
of the setting moon. The worst
kind of a shot could have picked
him off at that distance and with
that background.
Pierre raised his gun. The
moonlight scintillated along the
barrel. Just a twitch of his fin
ger and his rival would be no
more. George started forward
again. Ambrose tried to pull the
trigger, but somehow he could
not do it.
"D-n," he sulked to himself
as he realized his weakness and
that his opportunity had passed,
for Bond had now proceeded and
was out of sight. But still he pur-
sued doggedly.
Another mile and another OPP
portunity presented itself, but
Pierre was again too weak for the
morbid work he had planned.
He was furious with himself
now.
II must get him. said he, as
he glowered at the figure family
visible ahead.
This time Pierre left the road
and lay in wait at the edge of
Bonds yard. He was carefully
secreted in the thick brush not
more than three feet from the
road.
His heart sounded like the
drumming partridge, as it beat
wildly against his breast.

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That a
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health.
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage Of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding In
difference.
Hers is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement Is all
nice and pretty, but II one is going to
do the thing that counts n doesn't
need it; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that a a
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through life without
disappointments. h%eartaches and the
breaking Of pet illusions; that there Is
nothing more common than trouble
but that 1t is the wise ones OF eartf
that keep 1t In the background. That!

those who we're fortunate enough to
draw farms of 100 acres there at the

line will be extended into Mellette
county this summer. Just what point
will be selected for the terminus Of
the Mellette county extension is not
known, but it is believed the road
will be extended to White River,
county seat of the new county. The
construction of the railroad will result
in Mellette county becoming m OF
the most prosperous in the southern
portion of the state and will prove OF
great benefit to the new towns which
already have been established there.
