A tramp of some little respectability appeared at a gentleman's door asking alms. "Not today," said the Interrogated one. "When may I call?" responded the tramp. "Why, don't call at all. I know what you are; I saw your picture on a tin can at the grocery store at the cor ner." The applicant for a loan sauntered leisurely down to the place and stood viewing the goods in the window. Soon his eye came upon a can of crustaceans from the Maine coast. Then the Joke flashed on him. As he meandered away ho mumbled to himself, "Well, that's the neatest way of calling a fellow a lobster that I've struck yet" Opportunlty. Philadelphia Press.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July 28. William McCormlck, of Lancaster County, Nebraska," a veteran of the Span ish War, today drew first choice for a homestead on the Rosebud Reservation. Of more than 106,000 names placed in en velopes and juggled In a barrel arranged on an axis like a churn, a Government clerk drew McCormlck's name first. Then 939 names were drawn and re corded. All these persons. If they wish, may take a claim in the reservation. To morrow more names will be drawn and the drawing will continue until all en velopes have been taken from the barrel. The first 2500 or 2600 will get all the claims. Unless some of these refuse to file on their claims, the remaining 103,000 odd per sons will not be eligible. Fewer than 1000 persons watched today's drawing. After the excitement attendant on the announcement of McCormlck's name as the winner of the first claim had died away the drawing continued rapidly.

He served In the Second Nebraska Valunteers. He was mustered out at Camp Melklejobn, Ne braska, October 24, 1838. VALUE OF EEESH AIR. Cleanliness the Great Preventitive of Sickness. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, July 28. Government pathologists and bacteriologists are following with great Interest the general movement under the auspices of the local boards of health of the larger cities toward secur ing better ventilation of street-cars, churches, places of public amusement, etc, in connection with the sanitation of the same, and hope that much light can be thrown upon the possibility of Infec tion through inhaling the respirations of diseased persons. The report has been received here and noted with much satisfaction, that In furtherance of this project, the New York Board of Aldermen has made a spe cial appropriation of 510,000 for the New York Board of Health to be devoted to the study of pneumonia and acute respi ratory diseases, and the possibility of In fection through inhalation. Dr. Brlggs, of the New York Health Department saje: "It has been established that acute re spiratory diseases are Infectious and we believe they are produced by germs. Theo retically they should be preventable. In a large percentage of cases, where we know that the germ is and how it enters the body, they are in a measure prei'entable. Generally speaking the germs do not mul tiply outside of the living body, tho in ference must be that the disease Is con tracted from another individual who has the germs. Mortality In this group has slowly increased for the last 30 years." It 13 understood that the commission which will have charge of this important investigation in New York will be com posed of pathologists and bacteriologists of National reputation, and among the names suggested as possible members of It are those of Dr. Edward G. Janeway, of New York; Dr. "William H". Welch and Dr. William Osier, of Johns Hopkins Uni versity of Baltimore; Dr. Theobald Smith, of Harvard University, and Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden, head of the pathologi cal department of the College of Physi cians and Surgeons of Columbia Univer sity. In this connection, Dr. Walter Wyman, Surgeon-General of the United States Ma rine Hospital service, said: "We have lately been compelled to modify some of our notions of the causes of coritagious and Infectious diseases. After the bril liant discoveries by Pasteur and Koch It was thought that the presence of the pathogenic microbe organism was like the bite of a venomous snake surely poi sonous. But now we know that there are other conditions besides the presence of the microbe necessary to produce dis ease.

WAILS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. Birth Rate Decreases and Emigra tion Increases. Boston Transcript Not more than one year ago Australia was a favorite Illustration to the con trary whenever the virtues of trades unionism was in dispute. But for nearly that long Australia has served as an 11 lustraUon of the 1113 which may arise when a government sets itself to interfere as Australia has done In the relations of labor and capital It Is known that the country's birth-rate has sunk to an alarming minimum. There has set up a steady flow of emigration besides. The population is strongly retrograde. Men of means and enterprise are leaving the country or are refusing to Invest their funds in industry. And all these Ills have long been referred by all observers, and with significant unanimity to the ascend ency of a trades-unionism whose exac tions are not tempered by tho restraints of opposition. Whatever the cause, such is the deflec tion of the populaUon that the govern ment of New South Wales has sent out broadcast descriptions of the progress and delights of life In Australia, in the hope that their publication may Invite the Im migrant. The tenor of their appeal and the notice it takes of the true plight of the country and the causes of that plight, are shown in the following extract from this circular: "The Industrial Arbitration Act now in force in New South Wales has had the effect of not only bringing labor Into the unions, but also of making employers combine. At the end of February of this year there were 130 registered unions of employes and 121 employers asso ciations. With "two such, forces or ganized In opposition it would ap pear that the only outcome must be prolonged and bitter Industrial strife. The fact is, however, that during the last two years no strike of any moment has occurred In Now Souh Wales, the Arbi tration Court having settled all disputes to the satisfaction of both parties. In no country In the world are master and man. more amicably disposed toward one an other, and should a disagreement arise as to wages or labor conditions, it never enters the mind of either to suggest a strike or lockout.

The act, by virtue of which the court sits, requires that unions shall, in the month of February In each year, forward re turns giving a complete list of persons who during; the previous year joined the unions, and of persons who, during tho same period, ceased to be members. Any union falling to comply with this regula tion is liable to a penalty of 20. In 1902 the membership of registered unions was 53,203. In 1903 it had Increased to 62.3S4, representing a gain of 41S1 members on the 1902 total. This year shows a still larger Increase, the total membership for 1904 numbering 68,689 persons, and the in crease for the year 6305. The body with the largest roll Is the Australian Work ers' Union, which boasts a membership of 11.538, and that with the smallest Is the Artesian Drillers' Association,, with a membership of only nine persons. . . . "Customs returns Issued in New South Wales early In May show that during the foregoing ten months the state produced 503,557 bales of wool. The decline In the yield, which it was feared would result from the adverse drought conditions of 1902-1903, therefore, has so far at any rate not come to pass. The net production for the corresponding period of the previous season amounted to 495,120 bales, or to 4527 lebs than the 1903-1904 yield. As the flocks of the country at the end of 1903 had In creased to the extent of more than 2,000, 000 over the number recorded at the end of the previous year, the prospect for the wool industry in the near future seems big with promise. The quantity export ed from the state up to May, 1904, to taled 543,676 bales, or 37,119 bales in excess of the net production of New South Wales to the same date. The excess came from Queensland, and was shipped from Syd ney and Newcastle. The largest export transaction took place at these ports, and from them 458,194 bales were dispatched to the United Kingdom and foreign parts. The total wool export from Sydney and NewcasUe up to May amounted to 464,971 bales. THE SPEED OF THE SALMON. Evidence That They Can Swim at the Rate of 28 Mites an Hour. New York Sun. Just how fast salmon can travel has never been proved. Owners of weirs say that a healthy salmon can swim faster than any torpedoboat. Here Is some evi dence on the subject: Frank Arey, of WInterport, Me., went fishing the other day at tho pool below Bangor dam. He landed two small salmon on the flood tide. About 11:30 A.

Then the salmon darted under the boat, and catching the line against the keel, severed the fly and leader from the silk string and escaped. Disgusted with his luck, the young man landed and went to Bangor at 10:40, re maining In the city until the afternoon train took him home. His father met him at the station saying: "I have got your fly and leader all right, Frank. I found them In the jaw of a 26-pound salmon which I took from the weir at high tide today. It was just 12:10 when I dipped me fish from the weir Into my punt. What time did you lose your rig?" On comparing watches father and son learned that the fish had gone from a mile above Bangor to Bucksport Center, dis tance of 13 miles, inside of half an hour.

A Raw Potato to Keep Tobacco. Philadelphia Record. "It Isn't necessary to resort to any de vice to keep tobacco moist this time of year," said a tobacconist recently. "In fact, thpre is altogether too much hu midity in the atmosphere. But the raw potato is a ggod thing to bear in mind. During the winter months, when arti ficial heat has a tendency to sap tho natural moisture from tobacco, the. raw potato comes In mighty handy. Place it In the bottom of a jar, put tho tobacco on top of It, and the result will be most satisfactory. The tobacco will then re tain all its best qualities. I have tried many experiments, but havo found nono to work so satisfactorily." ANNOUNCEMENTS 0 WASHINGTON BUILDING.
