End of Peonage In Ecuador. Peonage has been abolished n Feiin dm through a legislative decree, which nlso end-; imprisonment for debt, ac cording to information recently re ceived from Consul (General Frederic W. !olirig of ( luax aqull. Prior to this decree a peon was compelled by law to remain on tin estate ns long as he wits indebted to the owner, wlm ar ranged that the peon was always ow ing more than he con hi pay. a condi tion that was practical slavery. The decree also forgave all debts owed by peons, thereby making their emanelpn tlon complete. The members of this class may now work for whom they please, come and go at will, and enjoy eipitil rights with other citizens of this republic. Gasl ne Fumes Annoy London. Residents of London hare been com plaining recently of the foul gases emanating from the poor quality of frasoline which motorists are compelled to nse. It is said that the fumes ag gravate lung troubles. "One effect of the carbon monoxide 1n petrol fumes Is to destroy the func tion of the red blood corpuscles," said a medical professor. "We would te better without the fumes, and the sooner we get good petrol the better It will be for our health. I do not think tlyre is any real danger to health. The fumes are rapidly diluted with Im mense quantities of air. Before they could get from a vehicle In the road to the pavement they would be harmless." Pro Rata. In one of the regiments the rats had become such a pest that the officers took drastic measures to get rid of them. An offer was made that to any of the boys 12 hours' liberty would be given every time they brought In a tlead rat. One day a soldier, came Into head quarters with a demand for five days' liberty. "Five days' liberty? Where do you get that stuff?" they howled at him. He produced a paper sack which, on. being opened, showed ten young rats which he had found In one nest. The Joke was on the officers; and the soldier got liberty. Sneaking Into Camp. A private who had overstayed his leave one night sneaked Into camp and was just on the point of entering the barracks when the sentry turned at the end of his beat. The private, who was closely watching the guard, real izing that he would be detected, also turned and acted as thongU- he was trying to sneak out of camp. "Get back there; no man out tonight!" shouteO the guard. Needless to add the prirste lost oo time In obejiffg ih order. 8an Francisco Park Policeman's Re port Leaves Old Theory Com pletely High and Dry. One by one the old theories are re vised or upset. There is a widespreud tradition, backed hy generations of ob servation, tbat a rabbit cun neither swim nor fight. But along comes Ser geant McGee of the San Francisco park police with a bombshell and wheu the noise and smoke has cleared away the germ of it new theory is left, eveu though u hitherto unkuowu fact bus not bceti established. According to Mcliee. quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle, a plulu, everyday cottontail has suddenly ap peared on the island in Stow lake and driven everything else away. Never before has a rabbit been seen on the island, which Is sepuruted from the mainland at Its nearest point by fifty yards of water. "Albert Chacijuette, guardian of the lake and its waterfowl, was the first person to disc-over the presence of the rabbit on the Island," said Sergeant Met lee in his report. "From the malu land shore he saw ft in furious combat with a big setting brunt. The battle ended in the bird being driven into the water and swimming, with loud squawks of dismay and protest, to the mainland. Kvery breeding mudhen, goose and duck was similarly assailed and expelled, Chacquette says, leaving the rabbit In undisputed possession of the Island. "Chacipictte," Met Joe's report con tinues, 'has u theory that the rabbit's new-found pugnacity may be due to Its browsing too freely on the leaves of the Juniper bushes tbat grow thickly on the island. His idea Is that the leaves fermented in the animal's stom ach, creating gin, which, as anyone knows who has tried It, might make a rnhbit feel brave enough to tickle a tiger's nose and give him courage to attempt the swimming of the Golden Gate." Anyway, the rabbit's 6n the Island and nobody has admitted helping him to get there. Also, the waterfowl that usually breed there at this tlm of year are gone. There may be no con nection, but there's a mystery In It all that nobody seems to be able to explain. Farmers' Exchanges Successful. County farm bureaus In New Hamp shire are conducting exchanges with excellent results. One hundred and twenty-five farmers attended a meet ing to organize in exchange In Bel knap county and In 15 minutes raised $2'00 of the $.f,000 capital needed. The members of the Grafton county bureau will purchase SO tons of lime stone this spring through their ex change. Hlllsboro farmers have pool ed orders for fertilizers and have placed them with dealers. Merrimack county farmers In four weeks unload ed r cars of grain and 300 tons of lime. The February business of the exchange In KocRlngham county amounted to $S.S(M). Stratford county farmers have formed a co-operative grain company ami purchased a mill. The capital stock is $1."i.0fit) in shares at each. In all, 40 tons of ferti lizers and !0 tons of limestone have been ordered. Described in Detail. I think my most embarrassing mo ment was when I was thirteen years old. My father telephoned that he had left a package for me at the hardware store tw! blocks away and that I should call for It, that he had described me to the manager and that I would have no trouble getting It. I went to the store and a little old man came and looked at me over his glasses and said decidedly: "Well, you're the one for that package, all right, all right." He was so decided that I became curious and asked: "How did you know me so well?" He said: "Well, little lady, your dad left this package an" he says, 'She's a homely little kid with a snub nose,' so I knew you right off." Every one In the store laughed but me. Kxchange. Lax in Milk Inspection. The 1'nlted States department of agriculture has Just recently com pleted an Investigation of the milk supplies of the cities and towns of the United States. Of all of these only 26f report regular dairy and milk in spection. InsjM-ction is generally least developed in cities of less than 100, 00. ami in cities of between .1,000 ami 2.".'nhi less than one-seventh re port any dairy Inspection, and In some of these the system Is only partly de veloped. The dairy division of the depart ment has valuable inforraaUon on the most effective systems nf milk con trol for cities of all sizes. This Infor mation, and where necessary the per sonal assistance of federal experts, are available to boards of health and civic organizations for the solution of their local milk problems. Lime Shown to Be Beneficial. In France the government once classified soldiers according to their birthplace. It was found that those reared in regions where the soil was rich In lime were nearly an Inch and a half taller than those from regions where the soils were poor In lime, and were also stronger and healthier.
