Tbe bacillus of acute rheuma tism has been found by Professor Savtschenko in five out of six cases of the affection. The microbe is very sensitive to salicylate of soda. One of tho strangest cases on record is that of William H. Dubar, of New York, 80 years old, who lived four days with h:s neck bro ken. He was run over bv an ex press wagon last Thurgday. Colorado and Iowa have both re stored tbe death penalty for murder. There are now only four states in which tbe death penalty is not in dicted Michigan, Maine, Wiscon sin and Rhode Island. A recent census bulletin Bhows that there are 21,329,819 males in the United Slates of voting age. Only 13,970,000 of them cast their votts for President last year, not quite two thirds of the whole num ber. Some of the dwellings in Hono lulu have lights on the outside as well bb in the rooms. Electric lamps are set in the maeonry of the walls, thereby throwing a reflection on the lawns, where the resiuents spend most of their nights. The 19S0 miles between Skag wav and at. Michael, Alaska, are covered by COO dogs, working in re lays of twenty five miles in four and one-half days. Between White Horse and Dawson, 140 dogs are kept going d iy and night in relays. During the past year 12,000 shade trees have been planted in Kansas City, mostly at the public expense At its lateEt meeting the Public mnrovements Committee of the city council authorized the planting of3S20 trees a'ong tbe .various streets. . Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Sigler, of Mont Clair, N. J., are receiving the congratulations of tneir friends on the celebration of their golden wed ding anniversary last week. It is said that in their long married life th.y have never exchanged a cross word. . - There are no populists in the United States senate. This, at least, is the assurance given the president by Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who has been looked upon as the sole remnant of the populist party in that body. He declares himself a democrat. It takes 5000 unloaded bees to make a pound; that is, when the bee leaves its hive In search of honey it weighs only the five thousandths part of a pound. When it returns, however, from the fields and flowers,' freighted with honey, it is three times that heavy. An acre of land will give 1500 pounds of rose petal?, from which five ounces of the attar may be dis tilled, and this quantity has a mar ket value of from $45 to IS5. The roeewater, a byproduct, amounts to 300 gallons to the acre, worth from 75 cents to 1 a gallon. Of 21,329,819 males of voting age id the United States 2,320,295 are illiterate. In other words one pos sible voter out of nine is unable to read or write, or to write if able to read. Nearly one-half of all the illiterates in this country are ne groes, and about 45 per cent of all negroeB of voting age. are illiterate. The French military authorities are preparing plans for the forma tion of six railway, regiments. The NO. 49. J Boer war baa shown the importance of railway operations, and the new regiment will be drilled in running trains, destroying and repairing tracks, telegraphing and other duties. Charles Humphrey, of Connectti cut, brought the body of bis mother-in-law, aged 95, to Winsted a few days ago and buried it beside that of her husband. Humphrey made three coffins one for himself, an ither for his wife and a third for his mother-in-law, which be kept stored in an attio. Two of the cof fins have been used. Most of tbe paper now used is made from wood and other veget able fibers which are chemically not very different from tbe material of which a hay-rick is composed. Consequently if paper is stacked damp heating is likely to take place juet as it does with prematurely stacked bay, and at any time flames may burst out as the result of spon taneous combustion. Because of the ordinance recently passed at Jacksonville, Fla., separ ating tbe races on Btreet cars, the negroes instituted a boycott against the cars and held a mass meeting at which it was agreed to organize a stock company of 2000 shares at $1 a share, to operate a stagecoach service throughout the city, to be operated exclusively for negroes. Maggie Orr, of Peyton, N. J., was awakened Saturday morning by her 7-year old sieter Alice, who was frightened by a dream. The little sji-l en id she saw her father with hie legs broken, ;nd that be was hurt so badly doctors were around him That evening an ambulance drove to the door, and the father was car' ried in with both legs broken. Residents of Black Patch, Penn. who declare they hive been be witched for some weeks, are happy again. Black Annie, whom they accuse, has disappeared. The res idents are Hans, and very supersti tious. They say bread would not rise, cows gave pxr milk, stoves smoked, dinners in tbe men 8 buckets turned to coal,' children bad weird dreams, and in a hundred email ways they were annoyed It was resolved to tar and feather Black Annie, but she disappeared. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad Corny any is building fourteen milee of line in" Pennsylvania, which ie believed to be tbe crookedeet rail road in the United States. The air line distance is about five miles but the peculiar configuration of the country makes it necessary to loop a number of hills in order to get an eaBy grade. The new road doubles on itself four times and at one point after making a loop of about five miles the road comes back to within three hundred feet of itself on grade fifty feet lower. The poetoQice department has de cided to place President McKinley's picture on the new isBue of postal cards, whioh will appear shortly after December 15th. The design, as explained by Acting Postmaster General Madden, includes the year of birth and year of death immedi ately at the left and right, respec tively, of the name "McKinley" whioh will be directly under the head. Above the head will be the words "Series of 1901," and aboye the "One Cent" The inscription "United States of America," now appearing on toe postal cards will be abandoned and replaced at a point lower down, eo as to leave tbe space at the upper part of the card, one-third of the width of the card, clear for postmarks. .

Prom tbe Karat Northwest. A sale of 1250 bead of exception ally fine ewes was recently mad in Morrow County, Oregon, at $3.25 per head. At the five leading markets of tb middle west about a million boot hogs have been marketed this year than during the corresponding por tion of last year. On Nov. 12 fifteen head of ei lected "gilt-edged" Polled Anga steers sold in Chicago at $7.28 pt hundred pounds. From this tin prices ranged down to $3.25 k $3.90 for fair to choice graes-fel Texas steers. At Watsonville, Cal., prices t four-tier Bellflowers range from 9$ to 95 cents per box, and 70 to 75 cents for five-tier. Yellow New- towns are going out rapidly and the demand is active at $1.20 to $1 25 for four-tier stock and ?5 cents for five-tier. Portland recently received two-. carloads of eggs from the East in one week and it will take about eight carloads of Oregon prunes, or a trainload of Oregon wheat to pay for those two carloads of eggs. San ' Francisco baa been receiving front 110,000 to $20,000 worth of Eastern, eggs per week for some time. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter is of the impression that, owing to tbe decrease in the Aus tralian yield of wool in tbe past few years, and the larger use of wool ' resulting; from tbe increased pros perity of the world generally, con- . . . . : - f , i . i . . ouujpuuu ui nuui uiis at jasi over taken production.

Under the more favorable conditions, as tbey remember them, which prevail in the vicinity of the Atlantic ocean, apple orchards needed no cultvation. Of course the usually frequent Sum mer rains in that country do to a considerable extent obviate tho need of cultivation of the orchards for the purpose of retaining moist ure, but the fruit growers are find that their orchards need cultivation, nevertheless. Even in Maine, a correspondent of the Country Gen tleman writes that orchard is te are finding out that their orchards must be cultivated to make them do their best. He cites a number of cases which bud come under his observa tion to justify his statement.- LEPISTIIM3 PANTS QNal fMMMMtt 0aa
