ORE.. AUGUST 4 .... 1911 The Southern Paoiflo Company has praotioally completed one of the great est crop movements in the history of any transportation company in this oonntry. This movement was in the handling of the oanteloope crop of the Imperial Valley, California, and the crop in Arizona and Nevada. Up to and inoluding midnight, Jnly 24, the Southern FauirJo had shipped 2841 cars of oiuteloupes oat of the Imperial Valley during the season of apptozima tely two months. About 100 more oars remain to be shipped from that point to the markets. Tina record ex exoeeds all previous shipments by ap proximately 1000 cars. The oante lonpe orop of Arizona up to and inola- diug July 24, amount to 402 oars with about 800 more oars of this fruit to be shinned. A boat 25 cars have already been shipped from the Moapa distrint in Nevada, and there is about 100 more remaining to be shipped. V f .., '"7 y 1 . , A w Exhibitions, showing in graphic form the prevention of oousumption, have been shown in every state in the United States, except Nevada, Arizona, Nhw Mexico and Wyo ming and in Mexico, Porto Kioo and Cuba, aooording to a bulletin is sued by tbe National Association for ihe Btudy uud prevention of tutiercn Iohih. 'Ihe bulletin also shows that 25 states and 1C cities have permanent and tpivoling exhibits besides tbe two operated by the national association itself, the total number of such dis plays boiug over 200, including about 150 small school exhibits. As a result of the general educational campaign through the various exhititious on tu berculosis, millions of pieces of litera ture have been distributed, millions of people shown how to prevent oosump- tou; and several stales and oitiea have beon roused to take legislative aotion . against thin, disease. "Cory narrow majority of an en r"$rniously large vote tbe prohibition amendment to tho lexas Constitution was defeated at tho referendum eleo- tion held ou July 22. All tbe larger newspapers, most of the leadiug poll , tioiaUH. and the money interests are reported to have fought the amend merit. Governor Colquitt was ou the stump agonist it and Senator Uuiloy's iulluonou went aguiust it. Tho vote was so close that at flint, the reports gave tho prohibitionists a viotory, but later reports. have given tho "wots" a majority of about 7,000 in a vote of 600,000. Opposition to the amend ment was Uuauood by by tho brewers' association, wbioh admits an expendi ture of $1,000,000; but claims that it was expo nil oil legitimately for news paper advert iuiug, speakers, halls, music, barlieoui's, etc. Tho prohibit ionists oharge ou the other hand that poll tax cortUliout.es weiu fraudulently bought and used. An exohango puts it in this way: "The men who do a town more harm than Rood may bo classed as follows: First, those who oppose Improvement. Second those who run it down to stra ngers. Third, those who never adver tise their Lusiuess. Fourth, those who distrust putlio-spiiited tuou. Fifth, those who show no hospitality to auy Due Sixth, those who hate to see oth ers make money.

The old stories about mermaids do not seem so improbable after all when one looks at a full sized dugong. The only thing It lacks to make It a real sea woman Is long hair. This enormous fish has flippers In stead of fins and rudimentary arms. The flippers end in four distinct fingers end are startlngly like the human hand. The shoulders of this weird marine creature slope In to a short but perfectly defined neck, on which Is set a round head. The eyes are like a hu man being's In shape and expression but Very much larger. Th.y are set far apart on each side of the hoad and have a'Jbrpwn iris swimming In a white ball, but are Huless. ihe dugong ms no nose, but the forehead Is broad and well developed, and while the mouth Is "fishy" In shape there Is a distinct under Up. The dugong is twice the height of a tall man when It Is full grown, and a mother dugong moving about through the 'water holds her baby tenderly In her "arms" pressed to her breast, Just as a human mother dons. Glimpses of this strange Inhabitant of the sea no doubt gave rise to the old time belief In mermaids. The dugong is rapidly becoming extinct. but still can be found In fairly large numbers In the Indian ocean. New York Press. SICKROOM PLANTS. Why They Should Be Put Out of Doors During the Night. In his random suggestions to his students, printed In the Medical Rec ord, Robert II. M. Dnwbarn, M. D., tells why It Is considered best not to keep flowers or growing plants In a sickroom at night Flowers give off moisture taken up from the soil; hence air becomes somewhat humid If many particularly growing plants are kept In tho room. Flowers having a meth od of breathing, they use up the oxy gen as human beings do and In ex change give off carbonic dioxide as waste matter. Tho action of sunlight upon the stems, loaves and all green parts of flowers Is to storo carbonic dioxide within the plants and release oxygen. Thus in daylight there Is a fair bal ance between tho carbonic dioxide and the oxygen given and taken, leaving neither good nor ill results. But dur ing the entire night the plant contin ues to breathe, and until tho return of daylight the oxygen Is used just like nn additional person breathing In tho room, thus leaving less oxygen for the use of the invalid, lnercrore the standing order to remove all plants and flowers at night Is based upon tho facts of plant physiology and is right He Hat the Right Idea and tho Norvo If Ho Can Only Work Them. Tbe old man was perched upon a high stool, figuring up tbe day's sales of dry goods, groceries and hardware, when his son came In with a rush. "Say, pop," exclaimed tho young man, "if I can buy a $300 horse for (150, will you take a chattel mortgage on him and help me out with tbe cash?" "What kind of a hoss, my son?" In quired the father cautiously. "Bay, four years old, sixteen hands high, weighs a thousand pounds and Is sound In wind, limb and bottom." "That sounds good to me. my son. and I want to do all I can to help you along In the world." And he reached down Into the snfe for his roll. "How much d you want ?" "A hundred and forty-nine fifty." The old man gasped and caught hold of the desk. "What?" he exclaimed. "A hundred and forty-nine fifty. I've got half a dollar." Slowly the old man shored the roll back Into the safe. "My son," he said softly, "you are wasting time trading bosses. What you ought to do Is to go Into the loan and trust business." W. J. Lampton in LIppIncott's. TAXES AND TORTURE. The Joy of Pocket. Tbe pocket has to be lacked before It Is properly appreciated, tbe London Chronicle says. This writer had taken his pockets as a matter of course until one evening be attended a fancy dress ball in a costume which, be discovered when too late to remedy the defect was absolutely pocketless. The ques tion at once arose what to do with pocket handkerchief, money, cloak room ticket and so on. The handker chief, of course, went tip his sleeve, but It took some minutes to devise re ceptacles for coins and other necessa ries in tbe lining of tbe cap, tbe heels of the shoes and the cuff of tbe coat All night long, however, he felt lost through having no place to thrust his hands into. Since then be finds him self frequently putting his bands Into his pockets to experience tbe sheer joy of knowing that they are there.

The Duke of Alva's "Tenth Penny" That Caused Riots In Spain. One of tho most absurd and tyran nical measures of taxation that were ever Imposed upon a people was that ordered by the despotic Duke of Alva, prominent In the history of Spain up to 1582, when he died. For six years he was governor gen eral of tbe Netherlands and levied a tax called tho "tenth penny," or 10 per cent, upon every article of mer chandise, to be paid as often as It should bo sold. He assessed real and personal property 1 per cent, to be paid Instantly and collected once, and on every transfer of realty he exacted 5 per cent. Every one In the land, excepting Alva himself, perceived how utterly ridiculous a scheme It would prove, but he persisted in enforcing the rule. Tbe towns rebelled, and examples by dozens were made of refractory sub jects, who were tortured to death, but to no purpose. Finally Thlllp II., the Spanish king, was petitioned, and a temporary com promise was effected by which the towns were to pay 2,000,000 an nually for the two succeeding years, nntll August, 1571.

A new discovery has been made about Chateaubriand nothing less than that he once sold stockings on commission. It was in 1700, when he was still nn officer in tho royal serv ice. Ho had a debt of honor, amount ing to 200. He wrote to a distant relative, one La Morandnis, who man ufactured stockings In Switzerland, appealing for help on tho ground that be must cither pay that debt or blow bis brains out. La Morandals, Instead of sending him money, sent him 100 dozen pairs of stockings, offering hlin a liberal commission if bo would sell them among his distinguished friends. Ho gratefully accepted tho offer and succeeded In disposing of tho mer chandise. There is reason to believe that ho managed to plant a good deal of It on the stores department of his own regiment. Westminster Gazette. The Clever Brahman. Speaking of the great power the Brahmuns in India possess In localiz ing thought, a prominent Brahman onco said: "Wo would consider a game of chess as played In this country mere child's piny. An ordinary Brahman chess player could carry on three or four games at a time without Incon venience. Tho usual game played by tho Brahmans consists In checkmating with one pawn designated when tho play begins.

"There aro some times In my llfo when I have felt that fato Is Indeed Ironical," said tho man who was sel dom troubled by his debts. "Vo you refer to any special occa sions?"
