According to C. S. PatonofT the oil

steamers known as "lcdokol."

Where We CJet Our Salt.
Salt la so common an urticlo that
one is astonished when ho realizes
the amount of it produced In the
United States during the year 1904.
The number of barrels was 22,030,
002, valued fit $G, 021, 222. In FpUe of
this enormous output, coming mostly
from New York and Michigan, tho
United States imported salt to 'tho
value of over half a million dollars
and exported 25,608,577 pounds,
valued at $'9,006. The deposlu of
salt In the United Statos are not nu
merous, those in New York, Michi
gan, Ohio, Kansas and Louisiana be
ing the only ones which are worked
commercially. Uoaton Herald.
A Vegetarian Danger,
In some respects vegetarians suffer
more than moat eaters from uric acid
poisoning, seeing that bcuns, peas,
lentils and peanuts contain twice as
much of the poison as meat. The na
tives of India suffer greatly from uric
aoM diseases, owing to the quautily :
of dahl (lentils) they eat. Other na
tives who avoid dahl are almost en
tirely free, Loudon Mall.
COST OK LIVING IN GERMANY.
FoodnturTs Advanced Greatly In the
Last Ton Years. '
Germany Is no longer the paradise
of American and English families
with incomes Just large enough to
starve on genteelly at home, says the
New York Sun. Ten years have
brought great changes In the stan
dards of life In Germany, not only in
lierlln but In the smaller cities.
Roughly speaking, the cost of living
has Increased by a third to a half.
In the matter of rent and servants'
wages Ilerlin is still better than New
York. Comparatively few families
In Herlln boast the luxury of an en
tire house even fewer, perhaps,
than In New York. The rest live In
wohnungen, or flats, like their Amer
ican compeers. The yearly rent for
an apartment of four rooms In a de
sirable locality in Berlin varies from
1375 to $400. Ten year ago the
prices In Berlin were a fourth less.
There are complaints In Germany
of the degeneration of domestic ser
vants, but at least a fair knowledge
of cookery is a general possession,
and In the second place, strict over
sight on the part of the police pre
vents absolute disregard of the sa
cred ness of contracts. The minimum
monthly pay for domestic service Is
$5. Even this Is an Increase of at
least $2 within the last decennlum.
Turning to the cost of foodstuffs,
the outlook Is less encouraging. Al
most without exception, articles of
dally consumption have Increased In
price from a third to a half In ten
years. As an example, mutton,
which previously cost li cents a
pound, now costs 25 cents. Butter
has risen from 20 to IS cents a
pound, and eggs from 15 to 22 cents
a dozen. This Increase has been
partly the result of deliberate legis
lative effort to Improve the condition
of the peasantry by the Imposition of
protective duties on the products of
the soil.
In general, Berlin holds the same
relation to other German cities as
New York to American centers of
population, but the cost of living In
Hamburg and Frankfort is more
nearly on a par with that of Berlin
than the cost of living In Philadel
phia or St. Louis with that of New
York. An exception in this connec
tion must be made In favor of the
cities of south Germany.

World's Wealthiest Country.
In the half century from 1850 to
1900, when the population of the
United States Increased from 23,
000,000 to 76.000.000. or multiplied
three and one-third times a rate of
increase far beyond that of any other
great country its wealth expanded
from $7,000,000,000 to $94,000,
00e000, being multiplied more than
thirteen times. No other country
closely approaches the United States
in wealth. From the most trustwor
thy data obtainable, this Is how the
principal countries stand in 1905:
Spain $12,000,000,000
Italy 18,000,000,000
Austria-Hungary ... 30,000,000,000
Russia 35,000,000,000

United Kingdom and the empire of
Germany which stand nearest to it,
the United States Is rapidly increas

The Ant na a Medicine.
Having thoroughly exploited the
curativo powers of the bee, writers
have now apparently turned to the
ant. The latter, llko the former, owes
Its medicinal virtues to the formic
acid that It contains. Indeed, this
acid owes Us name to the ant (Latin
formica. )
According to the investigations
of M. Clement, of Lyona, formic acid
is a very important drug. It aug
ments considerably the muscular
utrcugth and resistance of fatigue.

smisutlon of fatigue In the limbs, of

ing. . . . Theso statements have prob
ably only relative value, but Clement
has supported them by experiments
with Mohho'b ergograph on a young
man of 22 years. . . . The results
showed that after the use of formic
acid the subject was able to furnish
ten periods of work instead of Ave,
and to raise a weight 479 times in
stead of 232, making an expendi

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG,
CONCERNING CELLAR DOOPA.
Fr,h the Old Time Door of Weoit to
Newest of Galvanized Steel.
Time was when cellar doors were
II made of wood with irou strap
hinges, each complete duor couslstlug
of a pair of wooden flap doors closing
In the middle, to be thrown back cut
either side when the door was open
ed. A weather strip was nailed along
the edge of one of these Haps.
Outside the houses, and in fact in
many other places, such cellar doors
were often set at an Incline from the
building, so that they would the better
shed water; and there were the tra
ditional cellar doors down which chil
dren loved to slide, as they still do,
for that matter, wherever such cellar
doors are found.
Cellar doors, either flat or Inclined,
arb still to be found In countless num
bers everywhere, and in cities as well
as In the country. But along much
traveled business thoroughfares In
cities wooden cellar doors were soon
worn away and broken under the In
cessant scraping and trampling of
many thousands of feet, and so In
such situations wooden cellar doors
were long ago largely supplanted by
cellar doors of Iron, these not In
clined but set level with the sidewalk,
so that they would form no impedi
ment to travel.
These were a wide departure from
the old time wooden cellar door, but
they have now been long familiar In
such localities, and for a time It must
have seemed, If anybody ever gav
them a thought, that in them had been
reached the limit In cellar door con
struction. But the really modern city
cellar door Is to them what they were
to the ancient cellar door of wood.
The newest city cellar door de
signed for use in crowded streets,
one Introduced within recent years,
Is built of steel, and galvanized, and
hung on heavy brass hinges. Of rigid
construction In its own parts, and
shutting Into a rigid frame, this cel
lar door when cloned in as firm a
support to the feet as the surrounding
sidewalk in which it is set, while the
galvanizing of the door and the hang
ing of its parts on brass hinges pre
serve the door from rust and help to
make It practically indestructible.

In the life of this strenuous man:
One morning last week he started
out with a rug to sell on commission
for an installment house. He sold
the rug, and then came back and took
out a clock, which he also disposed of.
About noon he was called by an un
dertaker to embalm a body, which he
did. Another undertaker sent for
him to drive a hearse to the ceme
tery, and after he had disposed of
this errand satisfactorily he preached
a short sermon at the grave.
He drove the hearse back to town
and filled In the afternoon for a
candymaker who was taken suddenly
ill.
In the evening he worked from 6 to
8 o'clock In a barber shop, and from
that hour until midnight set type on a

Hindoo Woman's Nose Key.
"It Is considered an insult and ex

shouldn't," says Edmund Russell.
"It Is the badge of wifehood, even
more sacred than our wedding ring
set always with the costliest and most
beautiful Jewels a woman posseses
and the last she will part with. A
ruby with two pearls is tho favorite
as symbolizing a heart between two
guardians of purity.
"This Is something going out of

Bomaji ladles and Zoroastrlan sisters
do not wear them, but every ortho

THE riSH LAWS
An Interesting Summary lor Thoso
Who Go Fishing
A week or two ago we printed a
summary of the game laws and
with this issue we present some
thing of interest to those who like
the pastime of fishing. Kvery ses
sion of the Legislature there is
some new law or amendment to the
game and fish laws, and a person
Hi list he active to keep track of all.
In the first place it is stated that
the section prohibiting fishing on
Sunday was held to be in force by
the Superior Court of Pennsylvania
in Commonwealth vs. Rothermel
No. 40. January term, 1905.
Any citizen of the Commonwealth
may prosecute violators of the fish
laws.
No game fish can be legally taken
except with rod, hook and line.
Penalty $25 for each offense.
Among game fish are included;
Salmon, brook trout, black bass,
rock bass, biue pike, pike, perch,
Susquehanna salmon or wall-eyed
pike, pickerel and sunfish.
The season for the legal taking
of trout of all kinds except lake
trout begins April 15th and closes
July 31st inclusive.
1 ne season lor all other game
fish begins June 15th and ends Feb
ruary 15th inclusive.
Penalty $10 for each fish illegally
taken and retained.
Fyke nets without wing walls
may be used for the taking of carp,
eels, catfish and suckers, in waters
not inhabited by trout during
March, April, May, October, No
vember and December.
All nets so used must have at
tached a metallic teg bearing the
name and the aduress of the owner
and all fish other than carp, eels.
catfish and suckers, so caught must
be returned to the waters from
which taken. Penalty $10 for each
net used in violation of the law and
$10 for each fish so taken and illeg
ally retained.
Section 9 of the act of May 29,
1901, which allowed the use of
seines in taking carp, eels, catfish
and suckers ij repealed.
Outlines may be legally set for
carp, eels, suckers and catfish in
waters not inhabited by trout, pro
vided dead bait only is used, and
the line is weighted to the bottom
1 01 me stream.
All other fish taken by the out
line must be released with as little
injury as possible.
The possession of game fish by
any one operating an outline is
prima facie evidence ol a violation
of the law. Penalty $25 and for
feiture of all appliances used.
Trout artifically raised may be
caught at any time and in any man
ner and may be sold for propagating
purposes, but not for food. Penal
ty $100.
It is unlawful to procure or to
attempt to procure fish from the
Fish Commission of this State for
the purpose of stocking private
streams. Penalty $25.
Fishing with explosives or poison
positively prohibited. Penalty $100
and imprisonment six months.
Arrests may be made on Sunday.
Arrests may be made without war
rant where parties are caught iu the
act.
All constables of the several
wards, boroughs and townships are
ex officio fish wardens.
To Give News to Newspayers,
T. H. Harahan of the Illinois
Central Railroad, recently gave out
an interview favoring the company's
agents giving newspapers the news
concerning wrecks and other im
portant matters. Heretofore offi
cials have withheld all information
and the news papers were obliged
to get the news the best way they
could.
The Central will now assist the
newspapers, and it is thought that
the road will not suffer in the least.
The newspapers of the country are
becoming more and more to be
recognized as public educators, says
Mr. Ilarahan.
(Jive Your Farm a Nanitj
The practice the farmers are
adopting of giving their farms a
distinctive name, generally emble
matic cf some leading feature in
connection with the premises, is a
good one. ' Under such name the
farm may always be known, no
difference how often it may change
ownership through sale or descent
to heirs, and is readily recognized as
to location the moment it is referred
to. The name upon a sign board
or a rural mail box is of much as
sistance, too, to persons traveling
along and naturally desirous oi
knowing what place is this or that
as they pass along. It's an all-right
idea. Fall in with it.
