THRILLING MOMENT
How Ii Feels to Stand Between
Trains With Life at
Stake.

Hartford. Conn, March 28.-By
standing sideways and holding himself
perfectly erect between two express
trains that whirled by him in opposite
directions. william Scott of Westmin-
ster, British Columbia. a tobacco deal
er. escaped unhurt tonight at the Avon
street grade crossing in this city.
His companion. Thomas III. Ryan OF
Binguamton. N. Y, tried to dart
across the tracks. One of the trains
caught ana mangled him and threw hi;
nody 200 yards down the track.
The two men started across, unsus.
picious of danger. They were midway
when the two trains bore down ON them
Scot realized it would be death to run
in either direction and that he must
take his chances b. standing still.
1t flashed on him that he had read
that there was leeway of an inch or &c
between passing trains en- adjoining
tracks for a man of average size if be
could hold himself straight.
He did not find IL easy to keep his
feet. The air suction produced by the
two trains pulled this coat tails. He
had to resist that Juggling to keep his
balance. In addition he could scarcely
breathe in the ~suffocating rush OF
duet and cinders that enveloped him.
He had set his muscles SO firmly that
when the trains passed he could not
unlimber until assisted.
There was a binding fash Of

applicants. The members Of the coun-
Gil maintain that they can legally put
the selection up to the voters in the
spring election and expect to
have the ballots so prepared that those
who desire saloons will be voted upon
by the citizens of Speardsh at large.
Spearish at present has four saloons
and under the new law can have but
two, and it is believed that all four
saloon keepers will go on the ballot for
popular approval.

holds and enlarged tonsis, as was reported in the state of Minnesota the educa tional waste is evident If tke cost of instruction of each child is $25 per annum, the economic loss would represent $1,000000 Possibly this economic decrement is somewhat theoretical because the children would be receiving instruction anyway. The true deficit would be the decrease ir education as a result of leaving school one or two grades below that reached by normal children.
 The correction of defects increases the industrial efficiency of future cit ;zens and thus tends to make them more valuable to the community. By increasing industrial efficiency the future will profit from a decrease in dependency and pauperism and a diminution in civic loss by death, sickness and incapacity. In the words oI Sir Lauder Brumton, It is cheaper to spend pence on children than pounds on paupers.' By decreasing blindness, insanity adn criminalitY and similar social burdens medical inspection tends to tighten future municipal expenditures for the relief cf such conditions Such are some Of the positive benefits of medical in spection regarded as a communal in Vestment

 Many plants have wonderful weap- ons for their protection. The thorns of the rose bush. bramble and gorse prevent cows and horses from eating them, as well as keeping off snails and slugs. The cactus family of plants have a formidable armor of prickIes and daggers. The plant known as the Spanish bayonet is armed with taper-pointed spears that have file-like edges Some plants, such as the ragged robin. have sticky stems covered with fine hairs to which insects stick if they climb up to try and steal the honey.
 Many plants use poison as a means of protection. The sun spurge has q poisonous juice which kills any in sects which approach it, while the DoicoponS DropGrti4S of the deadly

EYRE IN THE OLD FLAG STILL"
A Brookine, Mass, Man Has Written
 for us a New National Anthem.

Following the example of the late Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in borrowing the music of John Browns Body for an original set of patriotic words, Brookline poet signing himself Mile Deyo and posting his message at Nan tucket has had printed for circulation among "the school children of Usono" a song and chorus of which I venture to reprint the first stanza: In the early days of Freedom, when
 Our Country's Flag was new, There was glowing zeal enkindled by

 hearts that beat both warm and
 true,
 And there's fire in the Old Flag stilL

nightshade are well known. The bracken fern has such a bitter taste that cows and sheep feeding near it will not touch it, and the leaves of the buttercup have a bitter taste which is much disliked by plant eating animals
 The common bladder wort an aquatic plant, not only defends itself against insects and animals, but catches worms and fish for it's food. As it floats underneath the surface of the water it's Ieafy branches spread out in all directions. Its leaves are covered with little oval bladders filled with air and at one end of each bladder is a cavity which leads into the mouth below Inside the bladder is a small trapdoor. which opens when pressure is put upon it. A small worm or a small fish can enter this door but they can never come out.

It is hardly necessary to comment upon the rate of illness as it occurs among children in the primary schools. A large factor in the retardation of children in the elementary schools is the absence due to ill health, and a large part of this i'll health is due to malnutrition of the child.

 COOPERATION
Fair Commission Will Ap- preciate Help of Com mercial Organi Z a tiOn s, and, Better, Will Get It When Needed

The fact that cooperation is going to be the key word of the handling end of the Arizona state fair this fall has been early borne out by many incidents of the preliminary preparation period, but by none so much as in that recorded in the following letter from the commission to the Phoenix board of trade. Re cOgnizing the help they can be to each other. the various associations in support of trade within the city have at various times expressed the desire to cooperate, a desire that has been heretofore granted only promiscuously. But now is the chance fer some real work together, and the bodies Of men concerned see it. Help counts not only store to store, correspondence and personal work, but includes also ideas. New and un:QUe methods of gathering and co-ordlEating ideas will be in stituted soon. and some of the mass of detail now piteu on Secretary Woods desk will begin to melt under tre combined rays Of Phoenix wis dom
 This is the "cooperation letter cf Secretary Wood:
 Dr John Dcnnett, Jr.,
 President Phoenix Board of Trade,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 l am directed b. inc Arizona state fair comr2issiOn to express to yoL their high appreciation for the as surances of support given by the board of trade through you.
 We appreciate these assurances very highly indeed for if the state fair is to be a success, as we eX pect it to be, we must have the sup port of the business men all over the state and particularly those of Phoe- nix.
 Nothing has been so helpful in the past, as the advice, the moral and the financial support given us by the board of trade.
 The fair commission desires to work hand in glove with your or ganization for the p-building of Arizona. and at any time, and at all times, suggestions from your organ iZation will be more than welcome. Yours truly, (Signed) C. B. WOOD.
