Vessels That Failed.

There was a time when it was be-
Geved possible to prevent seasick-
ness by means of specially con-
structed vessels. The Calais-Dou'
dres, twin ship, was used on the
English channel service for many
years. Great things were expected
from this, but she proved a slow
boat, and her passengers were by no
means immune from seasickness.
Another attempt in this direction
was the Castalia, in which the sa-
loon was suspended Like a ham
mock with a view to minimizing the
pitching and rolling. This turned
out an utter failure. If the rolling
was less than in ordinary vessels
the pitching was quite as bad and,
moreover, the swinging mechanism
occasionally stuck. After a very few
trips across the channel the Castalia
was taken off the service.

AN ARCTIC GOSSIP ROW.
Postofics Point, Where the Whalsrs
EXCHANGE News and Views.

Almost due north Of Berlng
strait is a point in the solid north
pack that always extends much far
ther south than the pack at the
eastward or at the westward. This
point is naturally variable, accord
ing to the heat of the summer and
the severity of the previous winter,
but it does not move more than a
few degrees. For fifty or seventy
five years this point of ice has been
spoken of by the arctic whalemen
as "Postoffice point"
This does not mean that there is
a postofice there, but the signif-
canoe of the name is because the
whaling fleets usually are divided,
some ships going considerably east
of Postoffice point and others west
of it.
Ships that have been east Of it
cruise along the edge Of the pack
and very frequently meet ships that
have been to the west of it, and the
meeting point for some reason has
always been in the neighborhood Of
Postof6ce point. 1t was here there
fore that the ships used to meet,
after being separated for many
weeks, and exchange news and gos-
sip.
The solid north pack comes pretty
close to Point Barrow and extends
in an irregular line from Point Bar
row to Postofice point. Much of
this ice '1ooks as though it has been
there from the year l." as one OF
the whaling captains has expressed
it. Bearing in mind the fact that
Postoffice point is always to be
found in approximately the same
latitude and longitude, it seems as
though there must of necessity be
land back of it, although of course
there is a possibility that there may
be a very solid pack of ice instead Of
land, held in place by comparative
ly shallow water. - New York

Manifold Uses for Lemons.

The majority of US know entirely
too little of the varied and helpful
uses of the lemon. Most of our
minds turn to memories of a glass
pitcher full of cold lemonade that we
were so fond of, as children. There
are others, whose memories will fly
back to the lemon tartlets or GUS
tards like mother use to make, y
and there with the lemonade or tart
our vision of the lemon probably
ends. In reality it is there where It
should begin. We enjoyed the fla
vor of the lemon put to such uses,
80 let's consider more ways in which
to enjoy it and derive more good
from the king of the citrus fruits.
As a medicinal aid. the lemon
stands first among fruits. The acid
in the lemon will purify the blood,
tone up the system, and act directly
upan the liver. 1t takes the place
of laxative medicine, and if it be
taken in a glassful of water, uE-
sweetened, each morning before
breakfast. the lemon acts as both a
body tonic and a complexion beauti-
fer. 1t has been said by an authority
that if lemons are plentifully but
judiciously used. they will prevent
malaria, and have been known to
ward off typhoid fever.
Lemon juice acts as fairy on a
sore throat, and drives away hoarse-
ness. Every lecturer or singer
knaws full we'll the value of this
golden fruit.
There are many uses of the lemon,
that should be familiar to every
housewife. e.-Southern Ruralist.

farmers were sending their milk to
the creamery. For the month Of
August they received in return
s3,851.8S. or an average of ST
each.
The specialists who were instru-
mental in starting this creamery and
others like it elsewhere, do not con-
slider that in ticky country such en-
terprises are likely to pay their pa
irons enough to make them worth
while. The reason is simple. A
ticky cow does not produce as much
milk as tick-free one and, in con-
sequence the farmer does not have as
much to sell. The amount of the
reduction caused by the tick has
been ascertained in government tests
to vary from 15 to "a per cent, de-
! pending upon the severity of the in
festation. Even a few ticks, there
fore, may render the keeping of
COWS Improbable. If such con-
dition is general throughout a COM
munity. a cooperative creamery is
an impossibility for an abundance
of milk is essential to the economi-
cal and successful operation of such
an institution.
On the other hand, the man who
can make a small profit from each of
his cows benefits in another import
ant respect. A very large percent
age-in fact the bulk-of the feed
he gives his stock is returned to the
land in the form of manure. The
fertilizing value of this is alone a
compelling reason for the keeping
of as much live stock as can possibly
be done. But with the tick the
farmers have to pay for the privil-
eye; without it, the creamery may
pay him.

Ticks and the TWo.COW Man.

Washington, D C. September 49,
Organized county action is the only
way by which the small landholder
and the man with few cows can
obtain the benefits of tick eradica-
ton. In many cases the big stock
owner can afford to build his own
: dipping vat and, irrespective of
what his neighbors are doing, can
keep, to some extent at least. his
herd comparatively clean. For the
man with a COW or two this is out
of the question. He must either
keep on feeding the ticks or get rid
of them.by systematic eradication
under State and Federal supervision
and in accordance with prescribed
regulations.
The second alternative is much
the cheaper. Dipping costs the in.
dividual, in his capacity as cattle
owner, nothing but the labor of
driving his cows to the dipping watts
and home again. As tax. payer,
he is of course interested in the
money the State appropriates for
filling them with arsenical baths,
and for.the other expenses incidental
to the work. This sum, however, is
relatively..very small. Reports from
four counties recently released from
quarantine in Alabama show that in
them the tick was eradicated at a
total cost to the county of from l9
to "a cents for each head of cattle.
No guarantee, it should be said, can
be given that the work will be done
at these figures, for the cost neces-
sarily varies with the number of
cattle in each county and with other
local conditions, but even under the
most unfavorable circumstances, the
expense is far less than the benefits.
In return for his share of the out
lay, the one or two-cow man receives,
among other things. new source OF
income. In a certain section of
South Carolina the elimination of
the tick was followed by the estab-
lishments tsof a cooperative creamery
in a region where until then dairy
ing had been unthought of, where
surplus milkIwas usually disposed of
as butter at the nearest store in re-
turn for few groceries and where
no one ever regarded it as a source
of cash income. A year later. 227

NO MORE PETITIONS ON
INITIATIVE ACTS FILED

No additional petitions asking for
an initiative measure on the subjects
of gambling and divorce were filed
last Saturday, according to informa-
tion received from the office of Sec
retary of State Brodigan. AS a re-
suit. no initiative measure on these
subjects will be submitted TO the next
Legislature, the petitions filed not
having a sufficient number of sigma
lures attached to meet the legal re-
quirements.
The initiative petitions on each
measure fell about $500 signatures
short of having the required 10 per
cent of the vote cast at the November
election.
The prohibition statute will be the
only initiative act submitted to the
Legislature.
