Careful investigations have led to the con Kats or Rags Garry ISu)onic Plague. the plague has ben carried to Scotland in rags of which there are large shipments from the far East. There have been some rats found in the rags infected with the disease, and the conclusion is drawn that either the rats or the rags in which they were transported carried the disease. Only one other way could the disease have been carried, it is said ; and that was in grain shipped from Hamburg to Leith. The following from a Wash ington special states the attitude of authorities toward the rat theory : "It is now almost universally agreed that rats transmit the disease from which they suffer and die, and for that reason intelligent medical authorities the world over make a crusade on rats in an infected community, killing thenr out while trying to stamp out the disease among human beings. That was the way San Francisco was rid of the plague, a few cases of which develop ed there." t t t I There is considerable discussion in some quarters over the question of general carelessness and its results. Now and then some one tirades against Is Carelessness In the array f carelesd han(iler3 of tne engines of . . death, and says that human life is too cheap. It beginB, one might say, in the very years of child hood, and instances of the truth of the claim are not wanting. In Wilkes county, we believe it was, recently a boy had a little rifle and while handling it on the porch it was discharged and the ball struck a physician on the porch of a dwelling on the opposite side of the street, and it was said at last hearing that there was no hope q! recovery. The automobile comes in for its share of criticism as a means of death all too frequent. The rapid and reckless running of this machine has been the cause of many deaths, but people will not stop their use. Dynamite s handled as carelessly in some places as gun shells. The Boston Budget makes the charge that this highly explosive Hubstance is oftentimes left where children may put hands on it and that ignorant laborers are entrusted with its use to a de gree that is alarming. .And so the discussion goes on whether or not care lessness is increasing. It is true there are many deaths and accidents of a M3t nature, which sr given ont constantly- through the newspapers: but if people would profit by experience it would seem that such things would decrease -ather than increase. If human life is really held too cheap, and there seems to be little doubt of it, more precaution should be exercised both from the standpoint of general prudence as v,'ell as from a legal standpoint. All people who practice it should he puuished for criminal carelessness. tin Rev. B. W, Spillman gives in Charity and Children some interesting ob servations which he recently made in Ohio. He witnessed the results of the mobbing of Columbus. ' Hew they Da in Ohio. and barely escaped with his life and had to be locked up in jail to keep from being killed. His offense was that he was quietly walking along a brilliantly lighted street with a white woman. They were molesting no one, bat were simply walking quietly along, presumably enjoying each other's company. After the fury of the mob had subsided and the time for cooling off had come, it was found that the negro was not walking with a white woman. It.was a bright mulatto woman, his niece, who had been on a visit to hia bouse and whom he was accompanying to the station to board the train for her home. Mr. Spillman observes that he did not see any Southern newspaper the next day, and thinks that if he had seen them they would hardly have told of the mob's work in Columbus. Had he not been there perhaps he would not have heard it at all. Now, this is the way a negro is treated in Ohio for no offense at all and there is little or nothing said about it ; but if a negro is mobbed in the South for the most revolting crime, some wiseacres in the North are ready to read us lectures by the yard and call us hard names for doing under great provocation what they do for no offense at a:l. We are not saying this to encourage mob violence at all. We think it dangerous and wrong under all circumstances ; but we relate the story to show bow certain kinds of prejudice will lead people to misjudge and berate and abuse others for doing less than they do themsel ves. With such object lessons as this before us, it is entirely out of order for the people of Ohio to attempt any further instructions or suggestions to the South about how to treat thq colored people. INDIGESTION CURED. There is no case of Indigestion, Dys pepsia or Stomach Trouble that will not yield to the digestive and strength ening influence of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. This remedy takes the strain off the stomach by digesting what you eat and allowing it to rest until it grows strong again. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and permanent re lief from Indigestion and all Stomach Troubles, builds up the system and so purifies it that disease cannot "attack and gain a foothold as when m a weak ened condition. The constantly in creasing use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure by physicians of hospital and general practice of itself tells how this most wonderful modern discovery has proven to be the greatest digeslant for the al leviation of a suffering humanity. Its many cures of both children and hrfah. grow larger day by day. Sold by E. T.

KlEYSintliEYCUTJ: GREAT WEALTH j IN TIMBER. Forests of Philippines Contain Im mense Quantities of Valuable Lumber Material. The greatest wealth of the Philippine islands is in timber, and if the govern ment of the United States had taken them on speculation President McKln ley would have been Justified in paying several times the amount of the in demnity paid to Spain, writes William E. Curtis in the Record-Herald. Capt. George P. Ahern, of the Ninth infantry, who has been chief of the bureau of forestry over there ever since the civil government was established, has Just returned to his post at Manila after a couple of months at the exposition at St. Louis, and in conference with capi talists who desire to engage in cutting timber for export to the United States, China, India, Australia and other coun tries where there is a profitable mar ket and a large demand. When I asked him about conditions he othe day he said: "There Is a vast natural forest wealth in the Philippines awaiting the development; but it requires time, money and wise management. The archipelago is the one undeveloped fer fcle spot In the orient. Markets for all the produce it can raise are strong and close at hand. Labor is not dif ficult to secure and there is no dan ger to life or property. Any company or individual desiring to investigate the forest resources of the islands will find the officials of the bureau of for estry in Manila ready to cooperate in furnishing information and there are competent officials in the field whose business is to look after investors. A large number of very inviting fields of forest development should prove at tractive to those who believe In the future of our possessions In. the ori ent. "The regions offering special attrac tions are the Island of Mindoro, the east coast of Luzon, the Caravan valley and the Islands of Nearos and Leyte. The greater the distance from Manila, the base of supplies, the less the chance for success. A company entering the Phil ippine field should go prepared to carry on some agricultural work in addition to logging, so as to give employment to the logger's family; it. should also be equipped with a modern savi mill nnrt a complete system of water, transporta tion, so as to supply the island and China markets; it should have a lumber yard in Manila as well as in each Chinese port. A well laid-out town should be started for the employes. This scheme of exploitation can b& started with a mpnai 01 nail a millfon dollars. A tract of between 100 and 200 square miles of virgin forest may be secured for 20 years, and when secured a selection of the best sites for agricultural development should be marked out. Land njay be pur chased by the company and also by the employes, or may be taken up by them aa homesteafls. Philippine hemp and copra command a high price all over the world, are easily raised and cn virgin soil should produce good results within a few years. "The Philippines are centrally located and close to markets with a trade of more than 100.0GO.OOO a month, a trade that is constantly growing and that, should be of great value to the islands. We have valuable and vast quantitiesof hard woods; we have hemp, copra, sugar and tobacco that 450.000.000 people want. Next year Manila will have the best har bor and docks in the orient, and the fa cilities for loading and unloading large ocean steamers will make that port a ' great depot of supplies for that part of the world. It seems strange that so many people should be unconscious of the great future of trade in the orient. China fs awakening and will not cease its strides in commercial development. Japan in the near future will be a pow erful factor in this development and will look to the United Spates for co operation." Junk Crawled Through. The medium-sized northern Chinese junks make first-class blceksde run ners. They are built very low in the water, with the" decks almost awash when loaded, so that only the bow and stern rise noticeably above the water line. They are strong, flat-bottomed, and of unpainted, dirty wcod, with no bright colors about them. Propelled by from 10 to 20 oarsmen, if the sails fail, thev elide throuch the water with no noise or smoke, and are very difficult of detection. Dodging along the shore and among the numerous islets which extend from the Shantung peninsula across the mouth of ppchlli gulf, they closely resemble the low, Drown rocks, and durintr the last months hundreds of them have-evaded the Japanese watches and carried tons of fresh provisions and vegetables to the beleaguered Port Ar thur garrison. London Times. An Oak Tree Mine. A Russian timber dealer has discov--red a valuable mine of oak. It exists in a river of South Russia, in layers three or four feet deep, scattered over 150 square miles, and its most striking feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be due to the variegated soil of the river bottom. Not fewer than 12 shades of pink, blue, yellow and brown have been noted, each log having its own uniform shade. The logs taken out have ranged from 40 to 200 feet in length and from 1! to 20 inches in diameter, and it is estimated that more than ir.0,000. averaging 70 feet, remain. N. Y. Her ald.

Elodol Dyspepsia Curd Digests what you eat THE RATTLESNAKE'S VENOM Acts on the Human Veins Exactly as Does Acid on a Metal Pipes One of the oldest controversies among zoologists is whether the venom of the rattler is fatal. On the one hand are experts, who point to in stances where men have survived its bite; on the other are scientists who cite long lists of those paying elo quent tribute to the prowess of the viper. According to chemical analysis, writes A. W. Rolker, in Pearson's Mag azine, the poison of a rattlesnake con sists of 95 pet cent, of blood-destroying element and five per cent of iierve destroying element a fact, which ex plains the dreadful suffering of the victims of this reptile. Rattlesnake poison acts on the human veins exact ly as does acid when poured into a metal pipe. Like the acid, the poison attacks the walls of the veins, eating and gnawing through them and de stroying the red corpuscles of the blood, never ceasing until the very walls of the heart are gnawed, bring ing that organ to a standstill. Quick blood poisoning Is the real cause of this frightful death; for. into the brief space of two hours or less is crowded the excrutlating pain of an ordinary case of blood poisoning extending over several weeks. The victim's body turns purple and black. It swells to two or three times its size. The man cries In agony under the torture of a burning inside as if melted iron were coursing through his arteries. To enumerate more than a few in stances among the thousands of hu man victims of the rattlesnake's ven om is manifestly Impossible. But here are several that illustrate the wonder ful activity of the poison and that have come to the personal notice of Mr. Dit mars: While hunting in Georgia, a physi 'cian was struck in an artery, in the groin by a rattlesnake which he star" tied when sitting down to eat lunch. Despite the efforts of a second physi cian who was in the party, the man lay stretched in death within ten min utes. Not many years ago Washington uni versity lost one cf its professors who was experimenting with a young rat tler whose head had Just been chopped off. Supposing life extinct the expert stooped to pick up the severed head, when the men th opened and the fangs fastened themselves in a death grin, la two hours he profe-sor was dead. Many similar instances might be cited, but Mr. Ditmar's own experience with a rattlesnake's venom Illustrates even better the virulence of the pci:-?n One of the rattlesnakes in the reptile house having died, the curator skinned it and stripped the skeleton for mount ing Two months after the bones had been bleached he scratched the tip of a forefinger with one of the fangs, barely puncturing the skin. The in significant prick was promptly cauter ized and bandaged, yet within ten min utes the poison was at work. The finger inflamed with alarming rapid ity; within two hours the entire arm was attacked and was swollen to double its natural size, and that night the curator went to a hospital. Nine weeks he lay in the hospital and seven time's he was ou the operating table before, it was decided that his arm. scarred, carved and permanently stiff ened, would not have to be amputated. KILLED IN RAILROAD WRECKS More People Lose Their Llvee That Way Than Are Slain in Battle. A report recently issued by the inter state commerce commission shows that the total number of casualties to persons cri railroads In the United States, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, wa3 E5.1K0. comprising 2,781 killed and 51,343 Injured. This, writes PredeTick Upham Adams, in Success Magazine, shows n large increase over any other year. It is a large total, and, in comparson, may be said to be similar to the complete de struction of any one of such cities as Sait Lake City, Utah; San Antonio. Texas; Racine, Wis.; Topeka, Kan.; Waterbury, Conn.; Wilkesbarre, Pa., or Augusta, Ga., neither of which has any thing like 53,000 inhabitants. In both the American and British armies, Sep tember 10 and October 7, 11 and 12, 1777,1 in the series of figats and movements around Saratoga, as included by E. 8. Creasy in his "Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World," there were less than 20, 000 men; while the highest total given by C. K. Adams, in Johnson's "Cyclo paedia,' 'of the killed, wrounded and missing on both sides at Waterloo, one of the greatest battles of all time, is 54,428 men not so many by 702 as last year's total of United States railroad casualties. The number of collisions and derailments during the past year was 11,291, involving 9,383,097 in dam ages to rolling stock and roadbeds. This gives the astounding increase of 618 col lisions and derailments over 1903 as tounding but for the reduction of em ployes, in 1904, of 75,000. Cure for Eloquence., Former Attorney General Griggs, of New Jersey, was in attendance at a pub lic meeting where the chief orator of the evening was a long-winded individual who w as quite deaf. He wore out the pa tience, of everybody In the hall, and it seemed as if he would really never con clude his remarks. In the midst of it one committeeman turned to the other and said: ' - "He really thinks that he is a splendid orator." "It's a pity he's deaf," promptly re joined the other; "if he could hear him self talk it would very quickly cure him of that hallucination." Baltimore Herald. DeWitt's JKSS Salve. - For PiloSj Burns Sores ' INGENIOUS FILIPINO YOUTH. Wanted to Harry and Kesorted Dishonest Means of Obtain ing Money. to When a Filipmo boy earns the sum of ten dollars gold a month, he is then, according to Filipino custom rich enough to marry and raise a family, sti we were not surprised to have our neigh bor, tho colonel, drop in one evening to consult us about the selection of a wedding present for his table boy. Sev eral of U3 had long known Beppo, and we considered the colonel fortunate to retain so faithful and loyal a boy. We advised the colonel to give him money, but no, the colonel wanted to buy some thing for the boy to keep and the pur chase Was put off till after the wedding. Then Beppo failed to return to serve the dinnt r, but then everybody takes a holiday when he takes unto himself a vife, so Beppo was forgiven, writes u Manila correspondent of the New York Post. Next day, with a view to huymg the present, the colonel went to the trunk where he kpt his surplus funds, and be hold his stores had diminished. The lock was intact, so whoever had taken the money must have a key to the trunk. The police were notified and Beppo was rounded up. On his person was found a key with fitted the trunk and thus was the faithful, much-trufcted Beppo proven guilty. He told the judge that he took only what he needed and, in most commendatory tones, assorted that, he had left $40 gold in the trunk for the colonel. He needed the money to get married; $15 for carriage hire, $40 for the priest and ceremony, and 83 pesos- for the bride's trousseau. The boy was sent, to Bilibid prison and the trousseau, all that ws left of the spoils, was sent to the colonei. W hear that his wife and daughters are coming on the next transport to join him and we are looking forward to their making use of that Filipino trousseau, but a point of still greater interest to us is the fact that Beppo's family thinks that even though he must, remain at. Bilibid for the next six mouths, his po- aition at the colonel's ist'till open tohim, and in true Filipino style the prisoner's family has arrived at the colonel' the bride, her mother and two sisters and they have installed themselves in the servants' quarters. We wonder how the colonel will explain to his w ife and fam ily the presence of such a harem. Poor Beppo. in true Filipino fashion, had been honest through a long period of servitude and like all his "little brown brothers," when ho needed money he help-l himself, but, bear in iait;.l. he took only what he needed and left some for the colonel. Of a truth they are a strange people. HOW RATTLESNAKE STRIKES Wonderfully Swift, But Not Always Accurate, Kence Not Always Fatal. It may seem absurd to cla.i:n that there are cases where the bite of a rattle snake is not fatal. Yet, eirch have hap pened and to understand these it is nec essary only to understand the manner in which this reptile strikes, writes A. W. Rolker, in Pearson's Magazine. The spectacle of a rattlesnake at bay is one a beholder never forgets. The great, long body lies coiled Into a tense spiral, the very embodiment of wicked ness. Poised in air, the white-bellied forebody is bent Into a horisontal S, rigid as an iron bar. Raised from the middle of the spiral Is the tail, quiver ing like a twanged banjo string and emitting a rattle like steam escaping from the pet cock of a radiator, or liUe the sound of a mowing machine in a distant hay field. Awe inspiring, the dread, fiat, triangular head, eyesgleam ng black and cold as icy steel, is ready to strike. As the gruesome mouth opens wide and pink, the long, thin poison fangs arise from a horizontal position and stand upright, like a pair of slen der, curved, needle-pointed shad bones, ready for business. Like a flash, far too quick for the eye to follow, the snake strikes, sending home his fangs an inch or two and in that same friction of an Instant he has squirted a table spoonful of canary-yellow, viscous fluid into the wound, and lies coiled, ready for a second attack. In this Incomprehensibly swift at tack lies the answer why sometimes the bite of a rattler is not fatal. For, so wonderfully swift is the attack, that a bite may be imperfect, leaving only a pair of tiny needle punctures with just enough venom to make a victim serious ly ill. Another reason why a rattlesnake's bite is not always fatal is that, tempor arily, the reptile may be without venom. The snake may have exhausted Its poison on a previous enemy, in which case it would have to wait several days before the deadly fluid has re-accumulated. Or, again, the viper's fang3 may have suffered accident. They may have been broken off, and require time for new growth. . In any. case, certain it is that a rattlesnake's poison applied in the proper way will do its work, and t'tat only the most expert and prompt assistance will save a victim. Wouldn't Rob a Friend.
