COMPENSATION BILL OPPOSED.
Commissioners Report Against Bill
to Reimburse Owners for Cows.

Commissioners Report Against Bill
to Reimburse Owners for Cows.
The bill introduced by Representative
Lewis, providing for the compensation OF
owners OF dairy cows which are con-
demned under the District health regu-
lations was reported on unfavorably by
the Commissioners yesterday. The report
states that the owners Of such cows have
no equitable claim for compensation be-
cause Of the fact that tubercular cattle
are without lawful value for the produc-
ton Of milk for sale as food.
The Commissioners say that the bill is
absolutely unreasonable, and that II
would be more just to give the community
a claim against the milk dealers who have
continued TO sell milk from tubercular
cows in spite OF the law, rather than
give the owners claim against the
community. The report states that the
development of the tuberculin test has
been SO gradual that milk producers have
had ample opportunity to adapt them
selves to it.

hibfts the sale of intoxicants on the
days Of the primaries.

HAD LOST HIS FlNGER-sTALL
Little Mishap That Refell Frank Mar
shall While He Was Making
Delicious Salads.

In his Random "reminiscences"
Mr.. Charles Brookfield tells an anus
ing story Of an actor friend. Frank
accomplished member of the profess
sion, who had lost a finger in early
life, and who wore a kid finger-stall
partially to conceal the deficiency.
Marshall had pretty talent for mix
ing salads, and one evening at the
Sheridan club, as his friends dropped
in to dine, they noticed him preparing
one Of the delicious salads Of which
he alone seemed to know the secret.
Immediately there were cries of
Frank, make me one at the same
time;" and "Oh, Frank, make enough
for me, too," and, beaming with salts
faction at the compliment to his skill,
Frank called for more lettuces, chives,
tarragon and other ingredients. And
when he had chopped up his herbs
into minute fragments and mixed his
salad in his own way everyone was
delighted.
A few more neighbors begged for
stray leaves, and finally one enthusi-
astic gourmand wiped the bowl round
with ball Of bread, and turned up
his eyes in ecstasy as he gulped
down the savory morsel. But the face
of the founder Of the feast wore a
troubled expression.
What's the matter, Frank, asked
one Of his friends.
"Oh. nothing" replied Frank, peer
ing round the polished bowl, 'only-
only I seem to have lost my finger
stall!"

1t Measures 80 Feet In circumference
and 10 More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude of 480 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees of California.
some OF which are 276 to 373 feet in
height, and 10s feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements of
the rings 1t is believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree in the
world Is said to exist on the island of
Cos of the coast of Asia Minor. II IL
several thousand years old, but just
now many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by a
wall or masonry around it, and the
trunk Is thirty feet in circumference.
But there are parts of trees In the
form OF useful timber which are even
older, probably. than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today, which are known to
be over thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and 1t is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump,
many rotting in from five to ten
years. but when immersed in water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov
eminent to preserve woods Indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from five to ten years
by this process.-Harper's.
