WOULD NOT DO WITHOUT THEM
Many Things that Some People Complain of
are an Advantage.
W<s think it about time ‘‘tho [recent
acquisition at the foot of Henry
street” bo let rest. It must be very
weary—that ‘‘recent acquisition”—of
being flung abonc, picked up and
thrown at our former City Fathers
ovorv once in a while. It certainly
hns given pleasure to a great many
people from far and uoar the past two
summers and beforo and siuoe to many
of'onr own town, as a moans of get
ting cool, puro air it has been a bless
ing.
It 1ms also brought in considerable
mouoy of late and has been of benefit
to Messrs. Rose and Hillman, Andrew
Furman, etc., for loading clay, ere.
Hoes ‘‘Equality, eto.” mean that the
city water, electric lights, paving oi
stroets, trolloy cars, telephone, etc.,
aro ‘‘the tombstones marking the in
ability and inalertness” of our former
Mayors and councilmen? If so, the
new aro glad to have ‘‘the town cov
ered with them” and see no reason
for rapping tiio said persons. We
cannot expect perfection and notwith
standing tilings go wrong onco iu a
i while we have lots of comfort with
those very ‘‘tombstones.” We
wouldn’t be without the trolley cart
witli their shortcomings for a mint ol
mouoy, nor the electric light with itt
honntifnl glow, even tliougn it has a
fancy lor playing hide and seek once
in a while, not the city water with
its opportunities for extra cleanliness,
etc. Get out your petition about the
tax if vou want it, sign it, get it sign
ed and presented, but ‘‘act honorably ’
and stop rapping those who have
brought into our borough very many
comforts it did not possess before.
CATTLE STEALING.

MENACE OF THE FOREST.
Continent Will Dry I'p If Present D..
ntfnetlvp ProccHneM Continue—
Experience of Old World.
The climatic history of the old world
will repeat Itself in America, says the
National Magazine. If forest destruc
tion, at Its present rate of recklessness,
should continue much longer, our conti
nent will have to dry up. So will aD
orator who should venture to urge that
fact upon a boodle legislature. In this
era of lumber trusts. But the fact re
mains. and its significance may be in
ferred from the experience of the Medi
terranean coast lands, where thousands
of god gardens have been turned Into
Gehennas of wretchedness and desola
tion. By tree destruction alone a terri
tory of 4,500,000 square miles has been
withdrawn from the habitable area of
our planet. The physical history of the
eastern hemisphere is the history of a
desert that originated somewhere near
the cradle of the Caucasian race—in Bac
tria, perhaps, and, spreading westward
and southward, has blighted the Edens
of three continents like a devouring tire

Africa and sending its warning sand
clouds far out to seaward.
Snirnr In France,
The price of sugar In France has re
cently been reduced by less than half,
and the consumption has been nearly
doubled. Formerly sugar was a luxury
which rarely reached the homes ol
many workingmen, but now its use is
much more common.
Explanation Wanted.

The Callow Youth—Have you ever

The Grizzled Bachelor—Yes. 1 fell

Why Thereof.
“What,” asked the inquisitive per

RECORD-BREAKING RUN.
- j
Riiffineer Wan Offered Fifty Dollar!
m Minute for Every Minute tiuined j
Over the Schedule.
There is a little story connected with ■
the record-breaking run of the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to 1
Los Angeles, in less than 53 hours, I
which is not generally known. *
It is related thal Mr. Lowe offered s
the engineer who hauled the train from c
Han Bernardino to Los Angeles—on the
home-stretch of 60 miles—the sum of
$50 a minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at a 60-second clip for '
each mile to Pasadena, but had to slow
down in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, just 62 minutes after leaving San
Bernardino, gaining nine minutes on the *
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn- t
ing $450 extra pin -money. 1
The Santa Fe passenger department c
will soon publish a pamphlet giving full i
details of the swift flight of the Lowe a
special, which in several instances ex
ceeded 90 miles an hour. An average of
nearly 43 miles an hour was maintained,
in the face of having to cross four high
ranges of the Rockies, and with little \
previous selection of engines or crews.

Growth of Some Plantw autl Ilia
(tcrlag Ollier*.
The action of salt, or chloride of
sodium, as a fertilizer is sometimes very
peculiar by reason of its apparently in
consistent influences. It has the effect
of checking vegetable growth and at
ihe same time increasing the yield ol
wheat and other crops to which it is
suited, says the Southern Farm Maga
zine.
Mangel wurzel, beans, cabbages and
onions flourish with liberal supplies o.
salt. It is also highly advantageous tc
the growth of asparagus. It is found
.n every cultivated plant, and. there
tore, may be considered, in small inan
ities, as generally desirable for all
crops. Lauds which are near the sea
toast are always liberally supplied with
his ingredient by winds, which carry it
.roin the sea.
According to Henry Tanner, of the
.oyal agricultural college in England.
>ne oi the most important influences that
talt exerts cu vegetation Is due to its
arising from the action of the chlorine
which it contains. This is a very' im
portant factor in agriculture, and when
iully understood will be more generally
utilized. In the ease, lor instance, of a
wheat crop upon land that has been too
tighly manured, the tendency is to pro
duce straw' rather than grain, the grassy
character of the plant being unduly en
couraged.
VAGARIES OF WATCHES.
Vital Enorffiei of Timepiece* Like

Lbb at
“You know that the vital energies
* are at lower ebb at night than in the
daytime,” said an old watchmaker.
"Would you believe that some watches
—especially the cheaper ones—are sim
ilarly afTected?
“You know a good watchmaker al
ways wants several days in which tc
regulate a timepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate it properly
is to compare It with a chronometer a
> the same hour every day. Otherwlsi
the variations In the speed of thi
watch will battle his efforts.
“The man to whom I was appren
ticed told me this, and I thought tin
i idea absurd. We were working lati
one night, and he called my attentioi
• to a lot of watches we had regulatet
i and ready to deliver. It was near mid
■ night and every watch was slow
f The better watches had lagged be
hind some seconds. The cheapei
- watches were a minute or more out o
i the way. Next morning every one o
- the lot was exactly right.
a “The fact Is, you can regulate i
- watch to make exactly 24 hours a day
it but you can't persuade it to make jus
i- CO minutes in each of the 24 hours. Wh
