GREAT BRITAIN AND CANAL TOLLS.

ID RESIDENT TAFT has expressed his willingness to arbtrate
 the Panama Canal tolls question with Great Britain The
 latter cOunys contention that British ships should not be dscrmnated against in the matter of tolls levied upon them for the privilege passing through the Panama Canal based upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1901.
 Congress year passed the Canal Act which makes the canal free ships Hence the cru of Great Ba objection and the demand that her ships be admitted to the canal equal terms with
 The Hay-Pauncefote treaty is undoubtedly than an agreement to canal 1t probably than bargain between friendly and powerful peoples 1t creates trust the benefit of mankind presumably and it involves mutual obligation the part of those who signed it to out in good faith the essential purposes of the negotiations
 This way of looking at the matter and it will be the way probably that the other nations will view it. It also be noted this connection that exceptions taken to the treaty until when protest arose from our shipping monopoes Since then the protests have been and the Congress listened to them effective and passed which satisfied their demands but which has had the effect of arouSg equally strong protests from the country largely affected The Canadian coastwse trade connection with Canadian transcontnenta rail- ways promises be large factor after the opening of the canal The clause of the treaty which forms the basic objection of Great Britain reads
 he canal shall be open the vessels of and of all nations observing these rules terms of entire equality that there shall be discrimination against nation citizens subjects respect of the conditions or charge of traffic or otherwise
 the of it the Canal Act plainly violate this provision by making the canal free ships while ma tanng tolls against all others When two nations persons betrays the obligation of the other removed. It is intensified

Between the feeble-minded and the insane a gulf has been lately fixed. But pr. Clara Harrison Town, in the Department number of the Psycho- logical Clinic, describes the case of a small boy of nine who seemed to be on the borderline between the two:
 He was a delicate, sensitive boy, much too childish for his years, and impressed one as having much more mentality than he could command, Quiet and inert most of the time, he would occasionally surprise one hv a remark indicating a high degree of intelligence. Though his speech was marred by an infantile stammer of a severe type he formed complicated sentences and used the longest words without hesitancy. Left on the porch to play, he was found, ten minutes later, standing in the identical posi- ton. He would also it at table with out eating until started by word of suggestion. There was clearly a de- feet in volition, showing itself in lack of initiative negativism, and poor emotional control An allied condi- tion was marked echolalia.

NOTES AND GLEANINGS

A query about the problem of pro- tecting other members of the family in case one is siezed with influenza or an infectious cold is answered by the Journal of the American Medical Association, which recommends that the patient be isolated If this is not possible. he should refrain from loud speaking. which throws out from the mouth a fine spray laden with germs Of course. if he sneezes, it should be into his handkerchief. Other mem- bers of the household should frequent ly wash their hands, In the treat ment of the nasal passages and throat with antiseptics the editor has slight faith. He says:
 Too extensive spraying of the throat may even be prejudicial by removing a layer of protecting mucus and leay- ing the mucous membrane perhaps more accessible to the invasion of pathogenic germs.

Mustaches.

A mustache is what you choose to
make it. Almost every man has the
raw materials at his command, and
he can cut them or cuddle them as he
sees fit. Some men beat their mus
taches savagely back into their upper
lips. refusing them growth, shave them
remorselessly once or twice a day
and never let hair Of them see the
light Of day Other men coax and
cajole their mustaches to emerge, pet
them. pamper them, protect them and
view the resultant hirsute effects in
the light of artistic achievements. But
not all mustaches are artistic. Some
are stubby. and some are scraggly. and
some are simply unmowed hair. Now

The Changers of New Castle county,
Delaware, want more gravel roads built
10 their county, as they have found that
the cost Of stone road construction and
maintenance is too great for any general
road system in their county. They de-
clare, after careful investigation. that
suitable gravel Is to be found in most
parts Of their county, and # properly used
in connection with steam roller will
make very suitable roads, while much
greater mileage of good roads could be
built for the money expended, thus let
ting the present generation have the adj
vantage Of good roads all over the county.
The more extended use of the King
drag upon dirt roads is also advocated
by the Grangers.
These conclusions of the New Castle
county Changers will be pretty generally
subscribed to by those familiar with road
conditions in Cecil. where experience is
teaching that gravel roads stand wear
and tear nearly as well as stone roads,
while the cost Of construction and rapair
are no ways near as great

Of $4,000 or $40, 600 by commerce with
South America, he invested 1t in San

city of the Golden Gate was but a
strip of wind blown sand between the
mighty Pacific and the now famous
bay. The gold fever broke out in the
spring of 184S, and the little cluster of
wooden shacks became all at once
center Of attraction to thousands from
all over the world. The 600 inhabi-
tants increased to hundreds Of thou

rose like magic for mile after mile

MURDERED By a. MOTH.
A Curious Case and the Evidence Upon
Which 1t Was Decided.

a Curious Case and the Evidence Upon
Which It Was Decided.
In oldeu times It was not rare Tor
animals to be accused and convicted Of
various osfenses and given Judicial
trials, but tnere-is a more recent case
recorded, in which moth-was proved
to have been a murderer. 1t was the
case Of the Princess Caravella. at Ma
pies. After giving dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes Of rest, in order to refresh
herself for dance.
She was discovered lying dead on her
bed, with pistol wound in her heart
Her husband, Prince Caravella, had
been noted for his jealous disposition.
and as it was certain that no stranger
could possibly have been in the prin-
cess room suspicion pointed to him.
and he was arrested
The pistol was found lying near the
murdered woman. which in itself was
favorable to the prince, for no MUIR
derer, unless he courted detection,
would thus leave the weapon to be
discovered In spite of this, it was
probable that things would have gone
hard with the accused but for the
shrewdness Of a Naples police officer
This man carefully examined the bed
chamber, and, lying on the floor by the
bedside, he found one of those large
moths that abound in Italy. A lighted
candle had stood on table by the bed,
and the moths wings bore evident
marks of having been badly singed
against the flame.
What was more important STILL some
of the powdery dust from the moths
wings was found on the trigger of the
pistol and pistol had lain in such a
position that it covered the princess
heart. 1t was clear, argued this astute
Sherlock Holmes. that the moth had
burned its wings and had fallen on the
table where writhing in agonies, its
wings had struck the trigger of the PTS
toll, and the pistol had been thus fred.
It was noted that the hair trigger
worked with exceptional ease.
1t should be remarked that these
Italian moths are larger than any
with which we are familiar in this
country On this evidence the prince
was rightly acquitted. Parsons
