Judge Lamm and a New Missouri.

Missouri needs now as never before
real. full sized, capable. earnest and
forceful man at the head of its gov
eminent. This great commonwealth
Is suffering from an overdose of petty
politics. Its institutions have become
the playthings of spoilsmen, the mate
rial for building up personal machines
and the media for bcstowing political
favors and the Arrangement of political
giudgcs and wounded vanity. It's f.
nancial affairs have been mismanag-
ed and its progress has been retarded.
The people of the state have been ir-
ritated and scandaliZcd by this situa-
ton and people elsewhere have come
to look upon Missouri with contempt.
| This situation is largely due TO the
lack of proper conception Of duty and
responsibility in the executive office.
But relief IL offered; the time has
arrived when the remedy can be APP
piled. There is always virtue in n
change of administration where the
party in power las performed unsatis-
factorily, but q double advantage ap-
| pears in the nomination Of Judge
Henry Lamm for the governorship.
The people Of Missouri have now an
opportunity TO elect n man of the
calibcr that Is needed to meet and
correct the abuses that have arisen
during the last four years.

sunreme Court CHANCES

There is not single member of the
Supreme court of President Harrison's
day now serving on the bench. Twenty
six years is not long time for con-
tinuity of service in the lower courts.
There are hundreds of judges appoint
ed at the age of thirty-five who are
still in full mental vigor at seventy,
to be found in the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White, however, is able to point to a
judicial record of only twenty-six
years. He was appointed by Cleveland
in February, 1894, and all the members
with whom he was associated at that
time have passed away. President
Taft had the honor of appointing full
majority of the Supreme court in the
course of his four years in office. He
appointed Justices Hughes, Van De-
vanter, Lamar and Pitney. President
Wilson has already made two appoint
ments-McReynOlds and Brandeis-
and now has another appointment to
make. Despite all the changes that
have taken place in recent years, more
cases were disposed of by the Supreme
court during its recent term than in
any other term since 1890. A total of
547 cases were decided, while in 1890
there were 610 cases. There still re-
main on the docket 522 cases.-Thomas
f. Logan, in Leslie's Weekly.

DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
1Garden of Serpents," in Brazil, 10
Maintained for the Production
of Serums.

Brazi's Garden of Serpents" is one
of the most interesting, though to
some, repulsfve sights in the world,
and is maintained purely for scientific
purposes. 1t is located at Butanta,
Brazil. and occupies in all some 700
acres. Here are the laboratories which
produce Serums for the cure and pre-
ventiOn of the effects of snake bites.
The snakes used in preparing the
serums are kept in a small park, con-
tanning numerous dome-shaped shell
ters, which is surrounded by wall
and ditch filled with water. Other
specimens are kept in similar park
near the main building, in order to
study their habits, favOrite food, the
very diverse venomous properties of
various species, and the best method
of escaping their attacks. The hot and
moist forests of Brazil contain many
vehOmOus serpents, but the slightest
noise alarms the peaceful and timid
reptiles, which attack only those per-
sons and animals that tread on them
or destroy their lairs. The prsncipal
families are the Bothrops and the Gro
tales, or rattlesnaFes. The Bofhrops'
venom decomposes the blood and pro-
duces internal hemorrhage, with in
tense congestion Of the liver, kidneys
and brain, while the venom of the Gro
tales paralyzes the respiration, circu-
latiOn and vision, and usually causes
death within twenty-fOur hours. Each
venom requires its special antidote.
| The laboratory heads prepare serum
| for each, and also polyvalent, or COM
! pound serum, which is effective against
all Brazilian snake venoms, for use
when the species of the attacking
snake is unknown. The serums are OBJ
tained from young and sound horses
and asses, which receive, at intervals
Of five or six days, injections of venom,
increasing from One-twentieth milli-
gram to one gram. A years treatment
Is required to produce perfect immun-
lty and an effective serum. The poly
valent serum is obtained by injecting
the venOms of Bothrops and Crotales
alternately. The animals thus immun-
zed furnish antivenom serum for 8
long time if they receive a fresh in.
lection of venom after each extraction
Of serum. Tubes of serum, with hypo
dermic SyringeS, are sent gratuitously
to hospitals, municipalities and pool
patients. Others are sold at low
prices or exchanged for live snakes
Serums for pest, diphtheria an(
tetanus also are produced by the
usual methods.

Paint Changes Color.

Paint that changes color under the
influence of heat is now recommended
for coating the bearings or other parts
Of machinery and electrical apparatus
likely to become overheated. Accord
ing to the Engineer, the new paint is
normally bright red but on reaching
a temperature of 120 degrees Fahren-
heit shows a change of color, and at
100 degrees and 2f0 degrees Fahren-
heit is almost black. When the tenn
perature of the part falls below 120
degrees Fahrenheit, the paint resumes
it's normal red color. 1t is asserted
that the paint is virtually indestructi-
bic, that it is unaffected by lubricating
oils, that it prevents the formation of
rust, and that the warning it gives en-
ables an engineer to stop Il machine

pannerous Question.

'In court-martial trials in our army"
says an officer, 'the attorneys are Sc
lected from the officers at the post
without reference to their legal train

"a young surgeon, whose ignorance
of law was complete, found himself
appointed counsel for the defense at
his new post, and when he entered the

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Give the windows at which plants
are to be kept a little attention at this
season. Go over the sash, and make
sure that the glass in it is well fas-
tened in place by putty. If any panes
are loose, reputty them. See that the
sash fits the frame well.
These little crevices are the ones
through which a great deal of cold
may come when the temperature drops
below zero and there is a stiff wind
blowing.
1t is an excellent plan to fit the
windows Of the dwelling with storm
windows-storm sashes. Not only for
the benefit of the plants, but the hui
man occupants as well.
At windows protected by storm sash
plants can be allowed to stand against
the inner glass, on the coldest night,
without injury, as the air space be-
tween the two saShes is q most eff
cient non-conductOr of cold.

Babies Thrive Best on sunlight.

Sunlight and sanitation, not silks

This maxim is contained in the lat
est official statement of the surgeon
general of the public health service,
who directs the forces Of the United
States against the army of General
Disease, just issued from his war"
office.
The rearing of children in dark, un-
kept homes is given as one of the
chief causes of the continued success
Of the army Of General Disease.
The surgeon general announces that
the enemy now claims 100000 Amer
leans year.
Heart disease, pneumonia and tu-
berculosis are the strongest units Of
General Diseases army, claiming 80
per cent of the annual number of
deaths.
The surgeon general renews the ad-
monition to let no fly go unswatted.
He points out that every female fly
lays eggs at the rate of 120 at a time

NOT LIKE NEW EXPERIENCE
Butcher Had Suffered Before From
the Franks INDUCED in by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricities of Yankee char
acter are innumerable, and they are
almost always amusing. In a Maine
town gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn. when
the horse of the village butcher-a
rather frisky animal-came dashing
madly over a terrace from the street,
flinging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with a shoulder of beef
on top of him, and big block of ice
thumped with a good deal of force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
it and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by a
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. As
soon as he could be restored to con-
sciousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move, found
he could not, gave a sickly smile, and
then said, jauntily:
"Oh, it's nothing! don't mind. Tn
used to it."

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

Protection is the prime requisite for
increasing the number of birds in an
in direct proportion to the amount
given.
Besides insuring birds against every
form of persecution by human kind,
we must defend them from various
natural foes The most effectual
single step is to provide a place for
the birds free from the cats.
Although a considerable number of

our native birds build their nests on
the ground, the majority place them in
trees of shrubs, either in holes or on
the limbs or in crotches.
Shrubbery and trees for nesting
sites, therefore, are essential for max
ing the place attractive to birds, and
double purpose is served if the kinds
planted are chosen from the list Of
fruit-bearing species. Shrubs should
be allowed to form thickets and should
be pruned back severely, when
young, so as to produce numerous
crotches.
