About 2.10 members of the Guard from all parts of the country. representatives or oach .stnte, were present for the purpose of observation and Instruction in tho methods of handling an army In the field. Drills nnd some army manouvros were given and lectures upon various topics per talnlng to the army. Dr. Dodds said last evening that his sxy there was most pleasant. The climate he found not extreme, much as it Is here now, the temperature rang ing generally from 80 to 90 degrees. The heat, however, Is not felt as there Is not much humidity.

Shed Containing Gxplnolirs Wn Threatened by the Flames. Fire which broke out Friday after noon In Catlln's wood near Wlnooskl Park threatened last night to attack a magazine shed situated Just south of the lime kilns, and containing several hun dred pounds of explosive.. Tho flames were within about 2X) feet of the building when George Potter, an employe of Tohey & Catlln, assisted by boys from St. Michael's College, removed the explosives In two wagon loads to a flace of safety in another shod. The lire was still burning In the woods late in the evening. No other prnpcrtv was reported in danger, and active efforts to extinguish tho blaze were not being made, the flames being confined princi pally to the underbrush. MANAGER IN TROUELE. '. A.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable thnt they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrcto a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment Irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding. The hack aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim Is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Brlght's dis ease, or diabetes. Any one of these fcymptoms Is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at onco. Delay often proves fatal. You can us no better remedy thnn Doan's Kidney Pills.

(From tho Dallas News.) But a short time ago we regarded the house fly with a species of Indulgent pity. Ho was such a harmless, persistent amusing little rest that It seemed cruel to kill him. And Just becauso this feeling fins been with many of us from the days of Infancy, we often fall to realize the real, ugly truth In the dangers that the hou fly has brought to our doors. We still regard him as annoying, hut as to taking the lly-destroylng crusades serl ously, many of us smile and continue to watch the foolish fly buizlng harmlessly en the window pane. If somebody came along with a small camel's hair brush and dipped It In filth of indescribable sort, and then brushed our food with It, there would tie a massa ere that would go down to posterity In letters of red, but this Is Just precisely what the fly Is doing dally The chief difference, ir any, for the fly has brushes of tiny hairs on hLs feet, is that there are hundreds of these Illth-laden brushes nt work, maybe thousands. And we smile ut his antics and let him walk on- our 'ood at will. This is scarcely a time to be nice In expressions. Tho fly has settled all that. He visits the sick room nnd walks upon tho face of some patient, maybe one with virulent disease. Then he comes over to see n and dabbles his unclean feet In the butter. He hangs about the odorous ctabb s where animals have trodden th round Into an evll-smelllng mush, eats what he cares for, roosts on tho sweating reek of h. horso and then comes to our tnblo again nnd walks over tho bread. cr stick;, his rect in the tomatoes or beans. Where some unfortunate con sumptive has been coughing and ex- I cctor.'itlng the fly buzzes bungTily. Then he comes to our homo and alights on th baby's Hps. It would appear that It Is time for people to wuke up and reallzo that the louse fly Is not at nil the harmless, an noylng llttlo peat we luvve believed. If there Is any tilth of whatever eort, from tho decomposing body of . fowl to mat ter of Indescribable sort, and thn fly has access to It,- he Is right thero with his feet In It, and ho comes and goes at will In many of our homes, leaving behind him traces of his travel that we often do not lecognlze until Hltiers overtakes tin, and even then we've had to have science beat It Into our heads that the fly Is to blame. The chief protection against this filth laden Insect Is tho ordinary wire screen. H can bo elaborate or slmplo ar. to frame. Just so It Is llyproof. U can bo bought very cheaply by the yard like cloth, cut with scissors and tacked over windows If desired, and a few strips of wood covered with wire netting represent a screen dour on whlc.i the fly will sit and leng to get In. Kvery house In the land should be screened. Tho screening costs less than window shado?, nnd no home, owned or rented, i.hould be without It. It Is par ticularly Important thnt the dining-rooms unn Kitchens or hotels and restaurants bo screened. I his Is not mere talk. Quo may at almost any time pass the. door of u restaurant and Ilnd flies feasting In tho filthy gutters, rendy to fly within and alight on the food. Or If he goes lck of n restaurant of almost any restaurant In tho lnnd ho will And that whero the cook has been killing fowls tho files have alighted In black masses all over the plucked bodies, nnd these are tho name flies that havo been walking over tho decaying garbage and Investigating the open sore upon some unfortunate mule standing In the street. Which facts, easily seen by anyone with his eyes even half open, show the necessity the Imperative necessity for screening. Bilious: Feel hoavy aftor dinner? Tonguo coated? Bitter taste?

Professor John A. Umax of tho Uni versity of Texas lectured Saturday even ing In the Williams Science ball on "Cow boy Songs." Professor Iomax Is a recog nized authority upon the folk songs of this country nnd his lecltiro Saturday evening was as Interesting as It was In structive. The group of songs discus sed, tho cowboy songs, wn.s Interesting not only ns being a reflection of tho Inti mate life of that class of westerners but often for their humor and frequently for their polgnnnt pathos, In speaking of the authorship of the Rongs Professor I.omax said that they can scarcely be attributed to any one person, they are, rather, the product of a group. Their ultimate sourco Is but n matter of conjecture. Ho described the community of the cowboys, their lone liness at night after the herding of the cnttlc, and the quieting effect of the. voice upon the latter. The.se songs, rarely find ing their way Into print, crude In man ner and matter, handed down from gen eration to generation, tell of the troubles between Te.xns and Mexico, of the cow boy's loves, his mother, daily routine of life, and his thoughts of death. Cowboys, said Professor Lomax, nre not thought of as religions yet they usually sing of God as a familiarity. But the majority of the songs deal with his own experiences In fe, experiences that demand physical endurance and hardship. Professor I.omax frequently Illustrated his remarks with excerpts from songs, the range of which Is wide embracing as they do varied experiences of life. He read many humo.-ous selections and many with a touch of sadness In them. Their charm Is In their direct simplicity; In the cow boy one Is close to the primal man. He Ings of his own life, he develops his own grammnr. he coins his own words fre quently. Perhnps his songs will give a future generation a true conception of what he was, pictures In plays and novels being frequently erroneous. These songs re worth preserving nnd unless they are rescued from oblivion they will disappear, Till: I, ATM MA.IOIt JOHN T. IIAIM1S. In the New York Tribune of May 12th appears the following announcement of the death of Maor John T. Haines which also appeared In the Free Press as occurring at San Antonio, Tex.. May 11: "Mnjor John T. Haines. 11th United States Cavalry, died In the hospital at Fort 8nm Houston to-day from peritonitis, follow ing a recent operation for appendicitis. John T. Haines was the son of the late General Thomas J Haines of Missouri, in which State he was born In 1SC4. He was graduated from West Point In ISSfl. Ills llrst assignment was with the fth Cavalry, from which he was transferred to the 1st Cavalry as llrst lieutenant In 1S52. Ho soon returtred to his old regi ment, however, and remained with U Vit tll 1901, when he became a captain In the 11th Cavalry. Last week hs was made a major. He saw field service in the Pine Bldge campaign In 1590 nnd IfiSl. He was quartermaster during the Spanish War.

THE TRADE DOLLAR. A Coin That Win Common Knoucb Generation Ago, llut In Ilnre X(m. (From the Kansas City Star.) A trade dollar Is slightly larger than a standard dollar, but It is not current coin and Its metal value Is only about tfl cents, though coin collectors will pay SO cents for It. So many of these mongrel dollars were In circulation 2n years and more ago that most persons wero watchful to avoid get ting one, but in recent years they have been so rare that many people have never seen one. Trade dollars were authorized by Con gress In 1S73 for the purpose of stimulating commerce with the Orient. For many years the Mexican silver dollar hnd been a highly valued coin In nearly ell far Fastern countries. Hundreds of millions of them were shipped to China, Japnn, th Philtifulnes and other countries in that pnrt of the world to pay for the products exported from them to Europe and th United States. American lawmakers thought that coin of practically the same weight and elzo as the Mexican dollar bearing the 1m print of the United States could bo used advantageously as a sudsiuuio tor Mexican dollar. Jn tho five years beginning with 137.1 tho United States mint produced nearly 3G,tKi, OGo of these dollars. Most of them wero exported, but enough of them remained In tho country to be embarrassing because of their similarity to the standanl silver dollar, and In 1SS7 Congress provided that for six months thereafter all trade dol lars presented to tho treasury should be exchanged for standard silver dollars, and rfter that tlmo the trade dollars were left to shift for themselves, being worth only their metal value, plus whatever premium coin collectors might be willing to pay for them. Nearly 8,000,000 of them were re deemed, and when the period for redemp tion ended only 2K4,E7 of them remained In this country, less than 1 per cent, of tho number that had been coined. Tho trade dollars huve on one side a sitting figure of tho Goddess of Liberty and on the other an eugla of n different design from that on the standard dollar. Tho Inscription Is "United States ot America. Trado Dollar, 43) Sralrrs, 900 The standard silver dollar weighs 412 1-2 grains. Tho weight ot the Mexican dol lar Is 417.79 grains, but H7.27 per cent at It Is pure silver, so that though It wehjns leu Its metal value la about 7 per cent. more thnn that of the oH trade dollar. Vroba.bly this Is the reason tho trade dol lar never made a hit wlt.i the people of the far Kast, There Is ground for sus picion that the originators of the Irndn dollar though the Orientals might bo duped Into taking It In preference to tho Mexican dollar because of Its slightly greater weight, notwithstanding the fact that Its silver value was about 7 per cent, less. But the Oriental money chniiKcrs quickly learned this difference In value nnd the deception wouldn't work. The trade dollar was authorized by the coinage act of 33 years ago, which becamo famoua under the designation of "tho crime of 'T.V' In the free sliver agitation which began a few years Inter and con tinued with more or less virulence for more than 20 years. FRIED POTATOES. Those of the French Variety Form nil llxtenslve Medium of Trade. (Consular and Trade Beports.) The street vending of pommes frltes, or French fried potatoes, Is peculiar to the northern part of France. Pommes frites take the place of peanuts nnd popcorn and nre sold In much the Fame fashion. Not only Is this trade carried on In some Instances ns a regularly es tablished business, but workmen wish ing to Increase their earnings come out on tho streets In the evening and sell hesn fried potatoes from pushcarts. Their pioflts often exceed their days wages, Tho pushcarts aro of the ordinary type, but covered. A coke brazier Is In serted through tho flooring, over which s placed the large Iron caldron holding the fat obtained from beef suet. Haw potatoes, after being pared, are pressed through a special eutlng machine, com- ng out In long, nnrow four-sided pieces. These aro Immediately put Into the boil ing fat nnd In several minutes are thor nugl cooked. They are then salted nnd sold In small paper cornucopias hold- ng one or two cents' worth. rommes frltes havo the advantage that they supply a atlsfylng and nutritive meal for a few cents. This Is especially appreciated bv the mill employees dur- ng the noon hour, as they are tints' en abled to have something hot with their otherwise cold lunches. Rather than go o the trouble nf prepnrlng the dish, to ay nothing of nillmr the house with the odor of boiling fat, many families prefer o purchase tho freshly cooked tubers from the nearest vender. These fried otntoes are not sold merely at meal time, but during the day and are eaten like popcorn. The trade Is deeldely profitable even f conducted on a small scale. The usual price of potatoes ranges between $1.-40 and JJ for 2 pounds. The beef suet osts nineteen cents for 2.; pounds, one illo, nnd with that amount of fat It Is estimated that fourteen pounds of po tatoes can be cooked, the fuel cost for the same amount not exceeding six rent". The quantity of pommes frites old for two rents, while enough to sat- sfy an appetite, does not equal two or dinary sized potatoes In amount, and It I, therefore, bi seen that one kilo of cooked potatoes, costing six to seven cents to prepare, and sold at eighteen to wenty-elght cents, leaves the vender n hnndsome profit. A license must first be obtnlncd from the municipal authorities by those who wish to engage in the trade. Permis sion Is then secured from some cafe or estamlnet proprietor to allow a cart to be drawn tip ip front of his crta-bllsh-ment. If this Is a good center the profits will be considerable, as Ilfty to a hun dred kilos of potatoes wll be sold In an evening-. As each city and village in the sur rounding region holds an annual fair nt some period of the year, It is a regular business of certain vendurs to m (mm town to town whero the fairs are being held, erect their portable houses or booths, nnd veil pommes frltes with other light refreshments. Thve booths are often elaborately constructed, with tables, chairs, mirrors, electric lights. etc., and present quite an attractive ap pearance and sell aa much as S00 to l.oao kilos of potatoes a day, special paring machines being used. Till! HIGHWAY wm.STIOX. (From the Buffalo News.) No one can fairly deny that the way this highway business Is getting treated at Albany Is enough to exclto the alarm of all who wish well to highway improve ment and to the extension of good roods In the Stato. One may glvo Governor Dlx credit for sincerity of purposo In seeking to do what Is best for the roads, but when the enormiu majorltv nf those who have spent years on the sub ject and given time and money to pro mote the good roads movement and un derstand the practical building of roads better than any others, are united against the administration plan, that plan should be abandoned. Governor Dlx will do far better for the people If he will consult those who have, proved themselves the best friends of the people on the good roads question and not trust himself to thoso who by their measures manifest a disposition to troat the highway question from a mer cenary standpoint.

Ask mnplo sugar workers which way the maple Julco flows; one win answer, "From the roots," the seconu, nm mo branches." and the third, "I do not know," writes W. H- c. Jiusseu m in land county. Vermont, in tho Amerlcnn Cultivator. The llrst two are guesses nnd partly right. Many aro like tho third person, who has never given It a thought. Sufficient for his purposo In the knowledge that if the tree is punc tured tho sap will flow. Thn nrlnclple underlying the transmis sion of sap from cell to cell Is technical ly termed osmosis. If two cells aro In contact, one of which cnntnlnR n fluid less denso than the other, then tho con tents of tho cell containing thn less dense fluid will soak or osmose into the cell containing tho more denso fluid. This has frequently been shown In tho laboratory by Immersing a porous cup, closed at the top nnd connected with a gauge. In distilled water In a second cup. The first cup contains a. dilute solu tion of saltpeter or sugar. After a llt tlo tho pure water will work Its way through the wall of the Inner cup faster than the sugar solution can work out. The result Is an Increase of pressure In tho Inner cup which Is measured by the rise of mercury In tho gauge. Plants and trees gather most of their fluids In the same way. A tree Is but an Infinite number of cells, more delicate than the nrtlllclal ones of the experi menter, with those near the circumfer ence In perfect condition, rne myriad toots are absorbing moisture, In fact, gathering it so greedily that the fluid Is pushed upward from cell to cell with irresistible force, which fills the tree to saturation on many days, and pressure is exerteil which can be measured. I have devised a simple gauge which any boy can construct. Select a four- ounce bottle, with a two-Holed rubber stopper to It, fill the bottlo two-thirds full of mercury, and pass through tho hole.') heavy-walled glass tubes, one of which Is lent at right angles four Inches from the end and carrying a three-fourths-inch, one-hole rubber stopper to bo inserted tightly In the tree. The tube from the treo to the bottle should be two feet long, and tint other should be continued up tho tree live feet by Join ing the glass tubing end to end with short, stout rubber tubing. Set the gauge thus made on a block, and strong ly wire the Hopper down to the block, and wire the other stopper Into the tree. The tendency of the sap to escape from the wounded treo exerts a downward pressure on the mercury, and the con sequent rise of tho mercury In the long open tube measures this force. The gauge Is a sap meter It Is subject to sudden and great changes of level, which correspond exactly with the volume ot flow of sap from the neighboring trees. A sudden and continued rle of the mer cury foretells an Immediate flow of sap. Kvery sugar maker should fit one treo early In the season with such a gauge, as It will tell the time to tap. The ttee undergoing examination by my botany class at this writing has reg istered 32 Inches of mercury. Since mer cury Is 13,590 times as heavy as water (wo will assume the density of sap to bo one In tho calculation), we havo tho following proportion by changing inches to feet, x;2,0H8:13.590:l, In which x equals S6.2H feet. This shows that the tendency of sap in this tree to flow through tho opening Is equal to the pressure of M.2W foet of water. This corresponds qulto closely to the height of the tree nnd leads logically to the Inference that on a gocd sap day we may regard a tree as a hollow cylinder filled with sap; this conclusion Is strengthened by the read ing of the gauee placed many feet above tho ground In the same tree, for the readings of the two conformed to the law that pressure In liquids vnries direct ly as the depth. From two to four weeks hence the birches will transmit their sap, and tho flow Is much greater than In tho maple, especially In the case of the blael; and yellow birch, anil the gauge set In one of these trees can be profitably read dally tlll about the time the leaves are full grown. The birch and maple, absorb water vig orously by osmosis at the rootlots and root hairs. To return for a moment to the cell, ns the primo agent In this won derful and silent force, we learn that tho protoplasm of cells Is covered by a transparent, delicate membrane which possesses tho remarkable property of be ing previous to water only, but, as the water is carried upward by these power ful forre pumps, It passes Into cells that are ruptured, Into the duets and sap wn dissolving portiotus of the cell con tents. The emlro tree Is under a pres sure varying with Its height, and when the tree Is tapped the fluid flows from both root and limb, from the limb as flows water from a leaky pall, from the roots ns the original sourco, and more freoly; from them as the bit breaks tho column and cuts off much of the pres suro. THE MAPLE SUGAR YIELD. Tk, o nnd One-llnlf to Mi Pounds to Tree. Tho maple sugar yield Is reported from two and one-half to six pounds to the tree and has sold from S to 15 cents per pound with only a small per cent, of the trees In the State tapped. Maple sugar Is a luxury which Is gain ing In popularity since tho Pure Food law went Into effect. Previous to thnt time a bogus product was sold In some sections with the samo effect on the nigar market that oleo has had on the butter market during the past fow years, a retailer often preferring to sell the bogus to tho genuine for there was more profit in It.

But it alao means a hot, tired woman, working hard over a blazing fire. Your wife can escape this with a New Perfection Oil Cook-stove. A New Perfection keeps a kitchen many degrees cooler than any other range, yet it does all a coal or wood range can do. It taves time, labor and fuel. No wood to cut ; no coal to carry ; no oihes ; no soot With the New Perfection oven it is the best cooking device you can find anywhere.

Carpenter of Woodford, Hennington county, to con duct the Publicity Bureau, which the last Lcglslaturo established as a subordinate department of the secretary's ofllce.
