"The advance In tropical sanita tion la the last fifteen rears bare shown that the whit man can Ut la ' the tropics with as good health as he 2.r.n In '.lip temperate sones. This h:a htea demonstrated," writes As sistant BurR eon General Oorgas, In the Medical Record, "by both of onr mili tary occupations of Cuba and by oar occupation of Panama. "The white man can nrotect him self against disease In the tropica at ! no greater expense than he would hare to undergo In order to protect himself against cold In the temperate tones. The returns for his labor are many fold greater In the tropics than tn the temperate Bones. "I think, therefore, that the tenden cy In the next few centuries will be 'or the white man to drift to the trop ica, and 1 dare predict that by the litre the year ISO Is as old as la at the present day the Norman conquest of England, localities In the tropica will be the centres of as powerful and is cultured a white clvlltatlon as any 'hat will exlat tn temperate tones. "I believe that the debility from wh'ch the white man baa suffered In tUe past at Panama and In other trop ical countries Is due to malaria princi pally and that If he protects himself from this Infection he will remain vig orous and strong in the same degree as be will In a temperate climate, and as a reason for thla belief I advance the. condition of the Americans at Panama. "I am Inclined to thins that hi the future the construction of the Pana mr Canal will be known leas as a great commercial accomplishment or engineering feat than aa the first demonstration that the white man caa flourish In the tropica." Profit In Blue Gum Groves. In setting out a eucalyptus grove for profit about 600 trees are planted to the acre. For the first two or three years Irrigation la necessary, but after thnt no further attention Is needed. Naturally some of the tree are malformed and stunted and these are cut for firewood when three or fotr years old. The next better class of trees as tbey attain sufficient site are cut for railroad ties, masts, bridge timbers, piling, telegraph poles and similar purposes. The best and stralghtest of all are allowed to grow until tbey are eight years old, or much longer If the production of very large timber la more desired than quick returns. The best quality of large timber when manufactured Into lumber sells at from $100 to f 140 a thousand feet for use In cabinetwork and Interior finish. The World To-Day. Ever-Busy Woman A newapaper writer, sympathising with women because there is no long er any cradle to rock, or hardly a baby to care for, no horn schooling necessary In the presence of the modern kindergarten, no sewing to do In this ready-made age, little house work tn this day of flats and suites and restaurants and prepared foods, asks with concern: "What are we go Inr to do with tbe woman out of a JobT Let him put that question face to face to his woman acquaintances and dollars to doughnuts be will find them all ao busy trying to keep up with their engagements that tbey won't have time to anawer his foolish! questions The Ruling Paaalon His clothes said he was a tramp, but bla brow waa blgb and his man ner grand. "Madam, may I request tbe favor of a pair of your husband's cast-off trousers' These are some what passe." This, wltb a sweep of a tattered hat, brought results In the shape of a pair of hubby's oldest, which were Just about two degrees better than those the tramp was wear- log. After a critical survey of his ac quisition, Instead of the polite words of thanks the good woman was wait ing for, tbe tramp volunteered, with a deep, long-drawn algb of regret: Madam, I aee your husband discards from weakness." Puck. Forced to Shut Down Mines. Recently tbe authorities of Carls bad were much concerned over a de crease In the (low of the famous 8 pru de) and other mineral springs. Tbe State took up the matter, and it was found that the working of the mines In the vicinity was probably affecting the aupply of the thermal springs. As the prosperity of Carlsbad, almost, in deed, its very existence. Is dependent upon Its world famous waters, the government ordered certain mines to be shut down- Borrowers. The Trouble man loafed tn bis door way, contentedly smoking a pipe. Now and then people rushed up to tbe door and entered. In a little while they went away carrying great bur den a. "Borrowers, the Trouble man ex plained.

Apprentices Take Three Year Course In Block Signals. The Pennsylvania Railroad baa es- tabllahed signal schools on the di visions of Its line east of Pittsburg tc traiu men for the signal service ol tbe system. This Is due, says tb Bookkeeper, to the rapid growth ol block signaling which la In use along these lines. There are some 12.40S Ignala east of Pittsburg, covering 1,385 miles of road. The railroad has appointed six sig nal apprentices who will be trained as engineers to direct and plan signal Installations. Apprentices in these schools will serve a three years' .-nurse. The first year will be given o mechanical work with tbe repair ind construction gangs, U second year will find them In the omee of the mpervlbor of signals, and tbe third sr will be devoted to outside work electric and eleotro-pneumtUe ap HOW ARROWS WERE POISONED. Indians Say They Used to Rob Rat tlesnskes of Their Virus. An old Cherokee Indian recently told bow tbe Indians of olden times used to poison their arrowheads lor war pnrposes or for killing bears. Ae ro. d'Tig to the lenver Field wad Frr n Ibey took a fresh deer liver, fastened It to a long pole, and then went to certain places where they knew they would And rattlesnakes In abundance. About midday the raiders are all out of their dona, colled up tn the sunBhlne. The bucks would poke the first rattler with tbe liver on the long pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes, always shows fight In prefer ence to escaping. The snake would thus repeatedly strike at tbe liver with Its fanga until Its poison was all used up, whereupon It would quit striking and try slowly to move on. The bucka would then hunt up another rattler and repeat the performance, keeping up the work until the liver was well soaked with snake poison. Then the pole was carried borne and fastened aomewhere In an upright position until the liver became aa dry aa a bone. The liver was pounded to a fine powder and placed In a buck ink bl .agotb gerssk ks-psmns9tarya akin bag. to be used as needed for their arrows. This powder would stick like glue to any moistened sur face. . - Monkey and tJoat. Monkeys are more renowned for mischief than for kindness, but even monkeys can be benevolent M. Mou ton records the doings of one in Guadeloupe that aurely seemed to merit that reputation. Tbe monkey bad a friend In a goat that went daily to the pasture. Every night the mon key would pick out the burrs and thorns, sometimes to the number Df 1,000 or 1,000, from the goat's fleece. In order that the animal might lie down In peace. On coming In from th pasture the goat regularly went In search of his light-banded friend and submitted himself to the opera tion. Strange to aay, the tricky In stincts of the monkey reasserted themselves after the pricks were re moved. He would tease tbe poor goat unmercifully, plucking his beard, pok ing him In the eys and pulling out bis hairs. The goat bore It all with pa tience, perhaps regarding It aa only a fair price to be paid for the removal of the thorns. London Standard. Where Wssps Protect Birds. There are birds In the swamps of eneiuela, known aa caclquea, that build their neats in .close proximity to a dangerous species of wasp In or der to avail themselves of the in sects' protection from, the constant menace of the Jungle. C. William Bee be explored thia region, and, with bis wife, has written his account of It for the May number of Harper's Mag aalne. He discovered tbe nests of the caciques close to the formidable wasps' nests, the two creatures living In harmony. One sting from these wasps would kill a bird, and several stings throw a man Into a severe fev er. Hence the Insects are dreaded by 1 and beast, and tbe caclquea find their neighborhood a safe one. Wheth er the wasps cannot or will not sting their neighbor birds Is not known. Whsn ths Poet Wss Happy.,. Bjornaon, the poet, who Is no ly ing seriously 111 at Chrlstlanla, was once asked on what occasion he got the greatest pleasure from bis tame as a poet. His answer was: "It was wben a delegation from the right came to my house In Christiana and smashed ail the windows, because when they bad thus attacked me and were starting for home again tbey felt that they ought to sing something, and ao they began to sing 'Yes, we love this land of ours.' Tbey could do nothing else! They had to sing the song of the man tbey bad attacked." Europe's Record Snowfall. The snowfall In central Kurope last winter broke all records for many years.

If people would only learn to have open fire In their rooms. Instead of converting them Into hot-air boxes by means of furnaces, there would be fewer colds," said a physician. "Fire places and their chimneys are venti lators. To me the beauty of an open fire makes It worth having, but when you conalder that lt'a a aanltary of ficer, constantly changing the air and driving out germs, it Is hard to see how any one caa prefer a furnace," A Vscsncy. Dr. Hale once told of a minister 'ho preached over an bour on the our greater prophets, and then, when ila exhausted congregation thought .e was through, took a long breath umed a fresh page, and, leaning ovc: he pulpit, said: "Ws now come tc he more complex question of the Tnor prophets.

The Mennonltes take their name from Menno Simons, born In Wltnrar sum, Holland, In 1492. He entered the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church, renounced Catholicism early In 1BS6 and was bnptlzed at Leeu warden. In the course of the folio-.?-lng year he waa ordained a minister In what was then known as tho Old Evangelical or Waldensinn Church; From this time on to hla death. In 1659, he waa active traveling through northern Germany and preaching everywhere.

A sevpre persecution bec,an to raalie Itself fell against bis followers, the Mennonltes and having beard accounts of thi colony eatabliobed In the New Worlt by William Penn, they began to eml grate to Pennsylvania near the end of the seventeenth century. Some Advice. The following was sent by a comu tryman to his son In college not man; years ago: "My Dear Son I write to send yoi two pair of old breeches, thct yni may have a new coat made of tlicin Alao some new tocVs. which yo:r mother knit by cutting tlovn pome o mine. Your mother sends you $10 with out my knowledge, ami for fer yoi will not spend It wisely I have kep- back half and only send fire. You mother and I are well, except you sister Annie has got the measles which we think would spread an on; other girls. If Tom had not had their before, and he Is the only one left. 1 hope you are well and will do honor to my teachings. If you do not you are an ass, and your mother and my. self are your affectionate parents." Sociable 8piders. Our native spiders are notable for their extreme unsociability. Of those which are spinners, each one con structs its web apart from those of Its klr.d, and those which hunt, pursue their prey alone. In other countries, however, there are apiders which live In oommunlttes, and one such, a na tive of Mexico, Is described by M. L. Dlguet. It la known as the mosquero. and makes a large nest in oaks and other treea. Here the spiders live gregariously, and along with them in tbe neat is found a minute beetle and another species of spider. The beetle Is said to act aa scavenger. Parts of be nest of the mosquero are hung up in tbe houses during the wet sea son to get rlckof the flies. The Flrat Language. No one of the existing languages has any legitimate claim to be con sldered the original of the family ol languages, standing to the other as Latin, for Instance, stands to ltnllan and French. Of an original primitive language of mankind the most patient research baa found no trace. All ol them Assyrian, Phoenician, Hebrew Arablo are sister languages, pointing back to an earlier parent language which has long disappeared. Since the historical period man has done lit tle In tbe way of the absolute crea tlon of language. The work had al--eady been accomplished ages before he birth of written Inscriptions. Witchcraft. The number who perished In tbe eriod of the witchcraft delusion will ever be known. In every country, hrougb fifteen centuries, the super tltuUon went on piling up its victims, n Geneva 600 were executed In three tonths, 7,000 were burned at Treves. 00 by a single bishop of Bamberg nd 800 in a single year at Wurtz urg. At Toulouse 400 perished at one xecution. A Judge at Kenny boasted bat he had put to death 800 witches a atxteen years. A thousand were xecuted tn a single year tn tbe pref ace of Como.
