HIRAM BARNEY
AND PATRIOTS
Collector Of New York Port Under
Lincoln was Given Memorial
Asking That Copperheads
be Barred.

Hiram Barney, collector of customs
for the port of New York. under Lin
coin. was not Keokuk man and did
not live here, but lived in New York
where he was practising law. His
son Hiram Barney, now Of New York,
makes this correction in connection
with the mention of his father which
was made in The Gate City last week,
in introducing the editorial repro
duced from an old New York paper.
Mr.. Barney first came to Keokuk as
attorney for Marsh, Lee and Delevan,
to negotiate the purchase Of the half
breed tract from the Indians. In sub
seauent years he came here about
once each year to look after affairs
of his firm.
l The New York Globe In an edf-
torial of March 10, refers to the &C
tivities of Mr.. Barney as collector OF
port in wedding out certain undesfr-
ables back in 1861, and suggests thai
his activities might prove lessoL
for the people of today who are 81.
clined to be a bit unpatriotic. The
editorial speaks of the activities of
some of the German-Americans in

OF the work promised now to reach
out in all directions. 1t Is particu-
larly fitted to serve the young men
of India. most OF whom live in small
villages.
His. residence In both large cities
and small and in rural communities
where he came in closest contact
with people OF all classes, gave Mr..
White unusual opportunities to study
at first hand Indian conditions, GUS
toms and institutions. Since his re-
turn from India his addresses 7tiave
been heard by business men in many
cities Of the United States and Can
ada.
Mr.. White has also visited associa.
tons in China, japan and the Philip
pines and speaks with first hand
knowledge OF these countries.
During the past year Mr.. White has
had a part in the leadership OF the
association service to soldiers in
camps, hospitals and prisons in
Egypt. and in connection with the
Gallipoh and Balkan campaigns.

FIRST THOUGHTS OF MEDICINE
Tillers Of the Soil Believed to Have Originated Primal Ideas That
 Have Grown.

It is of romance that the primal hus- bandman or shepherd conceived of a philosophy of medicine while plying spade or keeping the fiocks; that, till. ing and sowing in the ground, or sit ting at a mountains foot. a keeper and commander of poor beasts, man became contemplative of the universe that framed his small body and, by consequence, thought upon his own body that held his spirit.
 Analogies were suggested; of earth and dust with flesh, of stones and rocks with bones.
 Then came considerations of the constitution and process of greater na- ture and the application of both to hu- man and lesser nature.
 As men perceived the action of the four primary elements in the body Of the world and marked that 1t was by their proportionable agreement that harmony prevailed therein. so they i'm agined that the four elemental quail. ties, viz, heat, cold, dryness. mois- ture, were to be recognized and brought into harmony in their human bodies.

MOTH PROVES ITS SHARPNESS
EnoIish Pest Has Found Way to Foil Defensive Efforts of Fruit
 Growers.

Encland's 8 winter moth is one of the greatest pests with which the fruit growers of that country have to contend It begins to appear in Octo- ber and the female. whose wings are very short and quite unadapted to flight climbs the trunks of the fruit trees and deposits her eggs. These hatch out in the spring, and the cater pillars soon deyour the young leaves. Heretofore 1t has been comparatively easy to combat the ravages of the pest Seeing that the female is un able to fly, fruit growers place bands of a sticky substance around each tree. The female. in climbing the trunks, comes to the band and is hele fast.
 But wonderful thing has happened. says the Manchester tEngland) Guard ian. In recent years the female moth has been found from time to time above tho band, and how she got there was a mystery. Finally, how ever. an entomologist expert unveiled it. He saw the male and female moths together above the band on the tree-the male evidently having just deposited the female
 There appears to be little doubt, adds the Manchester Guardian. that in this we have d remarkable adapta- tion to circumstances. The female cannot fly. but the male can. and it would seem that he had flown to the higher part of the tree. carrying his wife upon his back. This is one of the most striking discoveries in nat. ural history and Is creating much in- torest among nature students.
