DOWNFALL OF THE MIGHTY

when this suit was commenced"
said counselor of the Nevada bar,
the Silver Mining company was q

the San Francisco stock board for
$500 a share, with dividends of $40
q month. In its mansion its directors
had champagne and terrapin dinners

and until the hush of the Sabbath

FAMOUS BUILDING IN PERIL
Roof Of Westminster Hall Found to
Have Been Weakened Through
Work Of Worms.

Lately everybody has been alarmed,
with good reason, about the safety Of
the foundations Of st. Paul's Cathe-
dral at London. Now 1t is the turn
of an even more ancient building,
Westminster hall, which Is closed for
repairs. II Is true that the stability
9; "the great Hall of William Rufus"
Is not threatened like that OF the
Cathedral, but the cleaning operations
on the interior of the open roof have
disclosed very serious condition of
affairs. The Irish oak, Of which that
roof is composed, has been attacked
for years past by worms and is now
in such a state that 1t has been found
necessary to take out whole portions
OF It, in some cases large portions,
and replace them with new wood.
This hammer beam roof, which has
been deemed one of the finest carpen-
tering feats In the whole world, did
not form part of the hall as originally
constructed by William Rufus in 1899,
but was added In 1897 by Richard II.
The extension Of which 1t formed q
part was a notable architectural per-
Torrance, for the walls were carried
mp two feet higher, and not only were
the windows altered but a fine new
porch was included in the scheme.
The roof. with its hammer beams
carved with angels, was built accord
ing to the designs Of the master
mason of the period. Henry de Yeve-
ley.

HAS SEA eULLs AS PETS
Which Are as Rule Slow 70
Approach Human Beings.

Visitors to Green island are treated
to a rather unusual sight nowadays,
a Marinette (Wis.) dispatch to the
Il, Milwaukee Leader says. A girl comes
Tout of the lightkeeper's house and,
standing near the door, gives a pecu-
liar call:
"Cooty, cooty, cooty! Here, cooty!"
And following the direction of her
gaze, the visitors see three awkward,
long-legged sea gull babies, running at
the top of their infantile speed toward
the girl.
Showing not the slightest hesitancy
or fear, the birds gather about the
girl, who feeds them table scraps and
fondles them. The small gulls dis
play not the slightest evidence of
shrinking from her touch, and gobble
voraciously at the scraps.
The girl is the daughter of Frank
A. Drew, head lightkeeper of the
Green island light-the beacon which
Dis raised by the sailors headed toward
Marinette long before the red harbor
light is to be seen.
The gulls are members of the ex-
tensive gull colony which summers
and winters-on Green island. The
trio was Matched this summer, and
they have yet to make their first trip
over the water.
Miss Drew got the baby gulls when
they were tiny birds, Matched but a
short time. They proved most re-
tsponsive to training, and soon lost
all fear Of their mistress. 1t didn't
take them long to learn that the cry
of "Cooty. cooty!" meant delectable
scraps Of fish and other delicacies
mot usually included in a sea gulls
diet.

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Egyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present in Use.

The contrast between the very an
cient and the very modern methods Of
treating skin diseases is we'll iIlustrat-
ed in the medical writings Of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method Of treating these Affections is
by serums. A favorite prescription of
the Egyptian doctors was the follow"
ing: Take the toes of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts.
Boil these carefully in a pan Of oil.
This Is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptions and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings We fnd the
first authentic record of the use of
goose grease in therapeutics, and ap-
parently this remedy has never lost
its popularity. AS used by the Egyp
tians, however, goose grease was only
one of several ingredients useful in
treating certain skin diseases, particu-
larly badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used in equal parts,
mus, crocodile, snake and ibex. This
remedy was to be used for period Of
not more than four days. But it ap-
pears that skin diseases continued
prevalent in ancient Egypt, just as
they prevail there at the present time.

Work and Poverty.

If the time ever comes when there
is no longer poverty in the world
there will be a wonderful freedom
for the higher qualities Of the human
race. Men will then work, not be-
cause they are driven by the competi-
tive spirit, but from a higher impulse,
love Of work itself.
The chances are that If q man like
Dickens had been free to work in
this way he would have done not more
work, perhaps even less, but work of
finer and higher polish. For Dickens,
as an artist, suffered till the end from
poverty. II he had had more advan-
tages in early youth his talents would
have been better trained. He would
have had more taste and more bal
ance. He would have striven less for
popular and transient effect than for
the truth, for what was permanent
and Of universal appeal.

Youth and Age and whiskers.

AS whiskers are the Oldest living
things, 80 they are the youngest.
Youth and age are accumulated by
whiskers. AS the wind blown upon
hot soup 1.-TWO objects associating
themselves naturally with whiskers)-
as the wind blown upon hot soup cools
the soup, and as the wind blown upon
cold fingers warns the fingers, so is
dual role played upon young and
old by the facial appurtenance. Moth
ing in this world looks as old as an
old man wearing patriarchal beard.
And nothing in this world looks as
young as q young man fondly lmagin-
ing that he Is wearing a Van DYKE"

Have Mere Man on the Hin.


There is a sad fate waiting for Mr..
Man II women stay home one day, as
the suffragists threaten to do some
time in October. Their plan is to in
duce all women of the United States
employed in business to stay away
from work on specified day.
This, they contend, will furnish prac-
tical refutation Of the argument that
'woman's place ia in the home" by
demonstrating that the place" of
about one-third of the sex is in
schools, stores, factories, offices and
other commercial establishments. II
such strike could be brought about
for even one day 1t would throw the
organization of affairs out of joint.
Public schools, department stores. and
many factories would be forced to shut
down, the telephone system would be
Iparalyzed, some Of the restaurants
would have to close their doors and
most Offices, without stenographers,
would proceed at half speed. And for
fear that the sex" may carry out
their threat the suffragists say that
many business men have asked the
newspapers not to print anything
about the strike. 1T is dangerous"
they say; dangerous to business. Do
not encourage this lawless plan"

And we hope to find it in heaven

To the gods who craved their daily

Had the apple Of gold been baked

All sliced and spiced, we'd never
sigh
For single bite; nor had the fruit
Of Eoen's garden a pudding made,
'Twouldn't have been the stuff to suit

the difference in the manifestations
OF the disease being no doubt due to
a variation in the virulence Of the
germs which cause the disease, and
possibly to some extent also to a
variation in the resisting power of
hogs.
Hog cholera is found In practically
all parts of the world, and is especial
ly prevalent in the large hog raising
districts of the United States. The
first recorded outbreak in this coun-
try occurred in the year 1888 in the
state of Ohio, and is supposed to have
arisen thru the importation of hogs
from European countries. where the
disease, no doubt, existed prior to its
appearance in this country. From the
original center of infection the dis
ease has gradually extended to all
portions of the United States, the
spread being usually along the lines
Of transportation. Owing to the form

may o,1ur at all seasons of the year,
The great majority take place during
| The late summer and fall The NOR
ta',ty from hog cholera is as high AZ
100 per cent in some herds. while the
average is probably from 70 to 80
per cent, and many Of the hogs that
survive are practically worthless, ow-
ing to their being weakened and stunt
ed IN growth.
the Germ Which Causes Hog Cholera
The germ or miciobe which causes
hog cholera is present In the blood
of sick hogs and also in the excre-
lions of such hogs, particularly In
the urine. 1t has been shown that the
disease can be produced almost with
out fail by inoculating well hogs with.
the blood or urine from sick hogs.
The germ which is in this blood and
urine is so small or else Of such struc-
ture that 1t cannot be seen with tbs
strongest microscopes now available.
It has never been cultivated in labora-
tories, as has been done with many
other infectious germs, and we know
of it only by the effects 1t produces.
The germ of hog cholera is therefore
classed with the invisible micro-or-
ganisms" and In this respect it re-
sembles those which bring about
number of other diseases of animals
and men,. notably yellow fever, conta-
gious pleuro-pneumonia, South Afri-
can horse sickness and foot-and-
mouth disease
Predisposino Causes
While the specific cause of hog chol-
era is the minute micro-organism or
germ just referred to, there are many
factors which may render a herd
more susceptible to the disease. In
general, anything which tends to low
or the health of the animals may be
regarded as a predisposing cause.
Among such predisposing factors
here may be mentioned improper
an unsanitary condition of
The hog lots, damp or cold sleeping
places, and dirty drinking or feeding
OF course insanitary sur
'oundings and poor feed can not In
themselves produce hog cholera, but
hey lower the vitality of the hogs
o such an extent that they become
easy victims of any
lisease-producing germs to which
hey are exposed.
