A Hindoo Cricket Expert.
The best cricket batsman In Eng¬
land now Is an Indian named Ronjit-
slnhji. It sounds something like fall¬
ing downstairs with a scuttle of coal,
and it Is by no means an lnflex of his
ability to wield a cricket bgt. In Ids
opening match Ranjltslnhjl made 77
not out and 150. There are but few
more astonishing feats on the cricket
field. He simply distanced Ida fellow-
batsmen. In Ids first class matches bo
averaged 57, with an aggregate of 2,780
runs, beating tho invincible W. R.
Grace's 2,739 made In 1871.
Altogether the batting of Rnnjit-
slnhjl amounts to genius. Ordinary
players who attempted to turn good
length balls off the middle stump In¬
variably came to grief, but he did it
with such skill and certainty that tho
best bowlers wore driven to despair.
Ranjitslnliji is tall and dark, and
has an eye like un eagle, if Ids fellow-
Indians will but fight England with
half the desperation with which Ran¬
jltslnhjl'hats, her sovereignty in the
East Is as good as lost.—Now York

Dr. Bixtn hastened out and found

When the meal was prepared all sat

An older son’s mind was affected by

not appease his appetite. A daughter,
younger than the Bon, after drinking a

The rest of the family continued the

JAPAN’S ENTKIMMUSK.
Money A|iprnprlntr<l to Tend, AinerlcfiriH
flow to Make Ton.
Several months ago the Japuucso
Tea Guild sent, to this country a spe¬
cial commission to investigate the con¬
dition of the Japanese tea trade in the
United States mid Canada, and to co¬
operate with its American representa¬
tives in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the best methods
of preparing them.
Tea bazaars are to be opened in
many of the principal cities in the
United States and Canada, where hi
dies call enjoy a cup of fine Japanese
tea made by experts, and at the same
time receive instructions which will
enable them to make it equally well at
home. More than half the tea con¬
sumed in the United States and Can¬
ada is of Japanese growth, yet most
Americans apparently do not under¬
stand how to prepare it so as to devel¬
op its delicious qualities. The Japan¬
ese government has appropriated a
large fund to aid in prosecuting this
educational work. The Japanese Tea
Guild 1ms issued this official recipe for
making Japanese tea:
First—Use a small, dry and thor¬
oughly clean porcelain teapot.
Second - l’ut, in one teaspoonful of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third - When using Japanese teas
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water, and let stand with closed
lid from two to three minutes. Never
boil the leaves. In order to retain the
natural flavor Japanese ten leaves
should be kept in tight can or jar, free
from moisture.
Note.—To thoroughly enjoy the
natural, delicate and sweet flavor,
neither sugar nor cream should be
used.

The proposition of the Georgia
Mining, Manufacturing and Invest-

coal and iron mines in Dade county
changed the entire convict situation
over night, and threw a new element
into the discussion. The proposition
has become an unexpected factor in
the settlement of the vexed question
which the committee lias to handle.
Captain Anderson, who is chairman
of the committee of creditors of the
Georgia Mining Manufacturing and
Investment Company, made the offer,
agreeing to sell the 29,000 acros of
land controlled l>y the creditors at the
government rate of $20 per acre, and
to throw in all improvements which
had been built thereon.
He urged his plan not only because
be felt that it would result in a profit¬
able enterprise for the state, but be¬
cause it would give to the state prop¬
erty on which the convicts could im¬
mediately be placed without waiting
for the purchase of other property,

said of the committee, Captain Anderson
that the machinery and equipment
on tho property were in good repair,
but that to put the place in perfect
condition for the housing and main¬
tenance of 2,000 or more convicts an
expenditure of $25,000 would be nec¬
essary in the Dade and Castle Rock
mines, and of $75,000 on the lauds of
the Walker company.

The freight situation between At¬

There is some prospect of a modifi¬

antine are being sorely felt in the bus¬
iness of Alabama.
Wednesday morning a strong dele¬
gation from Birmingham went to
Montgomery to protest against the
rigid quarantine against Atlanta. The

‘
Doctors Arc Loth to ltrport Cases, owing
as a ltoason That it Curtails
Their Fractice.
i Friday was again something of a re-
cord breaker in New Orleans in the
matter of new cases, there being
thirty reported. They cropped up in
all directions, but the death record
was oniy three for the day.
The fever is rapid y spreading in
many directions, but the largest major-
ity of cases are proving to be ot a
harmless type.
l ie infectious character of the fever
ls, however, shown in the fact that
there were again numerous instances
of new cases m houses where sickness
has already existed Ihe weather is
warm and the conditions excellent for
new cases. But the death percentage
has fallen considerably below the re-
>■ taken m diagnosing “ - cases ■» and it i.
qu. 0 probable that many of the cases
hat are reported as yellow fever are
the result of hurried examinations by
pbysicians.
More cases were reported before .. 9
o’clock Friday than at any time since
the fever has invaded the city. There
were fifteen at that hour.
The new cases were reported from
all sections of the city.
I>octor« Having Trouble
A bitter light is being made on the
board of health because it is insisting
in quarantining inmates of houses in
which yellow fever exists and those
houses which immediately adjoin.
Dr. Guiteras expressed the opinion
that it is possible to confine the in-
faction within the room where the pa-
tient may be lying so this has strength-
ened the fight of the public against
these quarantine measures. In spite
of the storm of protests, however,
many eminent physicians, and profes-
sional men are urging the board to
continue its present course in quaran-
timng houses.
The crisis is either present now or
close at hand, and it is not considered
wise to jeopardize the health of tho
whole community by allowing people
in infected houses or living next door
to them to go among the members of
tho community at random.
The fever has, of course, not been
declared epidemic and for that reason
physicians are disinclined to report
yellow fever.
A number of doctors state, in a for-
mal protest, that if their names are re-
ported in connection with yellow fever
cases their practice will be ruined,
Nobody would send for them if they
have had anything to do with yellow
fever cases.
Crisis Approaching Ill Mobile.
Nowspaper correspondents at Mobile,
Ala., are in a quandary. If they tell
tho truth they are condemned locally
as writing against the interests of the
city. If they draw it mild outside
communities declnro they are lying,
An attempt has already been made to
throttle tho press by the prosecution
of a local city editor, but it failed, and
the case was withdrawn as an ignomi¬
nious and unpopular move.
The truth of the matter is that a
crisis is approaching in Mobile. The
fever has made unexpected leaps and
within two days has broken out in two
totally unexpected quarters.
STRIKE THREATENED IN CHICAGO,
--
Frohable Tie-Up of the City’s Street Kail-
ways.
lho danger of a tie-up of the lines of
the Chicago City Railway Company is
not over yet. A mass meeting of street
car employes was held Friday and res-
elutions were unanimously adopted
indorsing the organization of. a local
branch of the Amalgamated Association
of Street Car Employes of America.
The most important action taken,
however, was the giving by secret
ballot tho power to the executive com-
mittee of the organization to order a
strike without notice to the company.
The plan of tho executive committee
to resent any further dismissal of em¬
ployes was thus ratified, and future
action was referred to that committee.

TEXT OF WOODFORD’S MESSAGE

! “It is now possible for the Times-

“This now celebrated and much dis-
j cussed document simply expresses on
! the part of the United States the hope
that the war will be brought to a close
I | as speedily as possible,
“No date is fixed when the consum-
\ mation is to be reached, and that the
j j interests of Spain no less than the in-
terests of the United States, the inter-
j ests of humanity and the interests of
j the world at large are reasons why the
Avar should end with the least possible
| j delay, “And with that in view, acting
j as a
friend of Spain because of the great
[ j stake financially which the United States has in
Cuba and otherwise,because
I of the annoyance to which the United
] States has been put by maintaining a
I patrol over and preventing the sailing
of filibustering expeditions.
“And because civilization opposes
j war, the United States tenders to
j j Spain its good offices to act as a friend
between the mother country and her
[ j rebellious be able colony to effect in the settlement hope that and she
j may a
bring the warfare to a close.
“This is all there is in the note.
There is not tho faintest suggestion of
this government forcing upon Spain

nor
an intimation that the war must he

CURIOUS CUSTOMS AND MANNERS.

served in Different Lands.

It is lawful for any person to kill a
grave robber in China the instant he is
caught in the act.
Japanese workmen wear both in
their caps and on their necks an in¬
scription stating their business and
the name of their employers.
The Chinese Government levies a
regular tax on beggars and in turn
gives them the privilege of begging in
a certain district.
In Albania the men wear petticoats
■ and the women trousers. The women
do all the work and the men do all the
heavy standing round.
Once every twenty years the cere¬
mony of “Comparing the Standards” is
gone through with in England. A part
of the wall of the House of Commons
is torn away, and the two originals of
weight and measure, a small cube of
platinum weighing exactly sixteen
ounces and a bronze yardstick care¬
fully adjusted to thirty-six inches are
taken out and compared with the same
thing used in the Government Office of
Weights and Measures, These com-
parisons are made in the presence of a
company of gentlemen appointed for
the purpose, among whom is the presi¬
dent of the Board of Trade. When the
important ceremony is over and the
weights arc found to be accurately ad¬
justed, the two precious pieces are
! again walled up, not to be distur >od
again for twenty years. The last time
they were taken out was In April, 189.,
so it will be 1912 before they will be
wanted again. Similarly at Washing¬
ton, a standard bronze yard is let Into
the foundation walls of the Senate
wing of the Capitol.
In German countries the “Dutch
treat” prevails, and if a gentleman in¬
vites you to dine with him at a restau¬
rant he expects you to pay for what
you cat.
In Greece they make two five-
drachma bills by tearing one ten in
two.
In Arabia they clean their teeth with
a “tooth-stick”—a piece of root with
the end frayed into a brush. Abraham
was the first man to use the tooth-
stick, according to the tradition.
In Russia a person must pass an ex¬
amination to show that he has good
command of the machine before he is
allowed to ride a bicycle. Even then
he must supply his machine In several
places with a big tag bearing his num¬
ber, as if it were a public cab. More¬
over he must pa/ fees to the govern¬
ment for his fun.
In Germany if a traveller stays more
than a month in a town the local au¬
thorities make him pay a tax.
In Paris a house-owner must pay a
tax on every window in his house.
American Corn in Europe.
The very causes which are work¬
ing to create a demand from abroad
for American wheat will bring about
also a brisk call for American corn.
Not without substantial result has
been the missionary work carried on in
foreign lands on behalf of our Indian
corn. We exported no less than 178,-
817,417 bushels of corn and corn meal
in the last year of record. Now that
there ik certain to be an advance in the
cost of wheat food products abroad the
advantages of Indian corn, much
cheaper than wheat as it will be, can¬
not fail to find special appreciation.
The larger the use of our corn abroad
this year the greater the demand from
Europe is likely to be the year follow¬
ing, and this, as a matter of course,
will mean money for American farm-
ers. There Is no doubt as to their
ability to provide a generous corn sup¬
ply. More than 2,000,000.000 bushels
were included in the nation's output of
this staple crop last year.—Boston
Globe.
A Check for Perspiration,
To check profuse perspiration steep
one pound of oak bark in two quarts
of boiling water for half an hour;
strain and bottle ’or use. When de¬
sired for use, take two-thirds of a cup
of it, with two teaspoonsful of pow¬
dered borax and three of powdered
starch in a basin of hot water and
bathe the parts in it. Warts are fre¬
quently removed by applications of
baking soda moistened.

A Cow With a Wooden Leg.
Director-General E. C. Lewis, of the
Tennessee Centennial, who owns a
farm at Sycamore, Tenn., had a very
valuable Jersey cow that in some way
or other broke her left hind leg. Be¬
cause of certain feelings of sentiment,
he was very loath to shoot her if it
could possibly be avoided.
Major Lewis called in a surgeon and
had the leg amputated, and then a car¬
penter carefully fitted a wooden leg to
the stump. It. healed readily, and in a
very short time the cow could get
around as well as any animal on the
place.
Peggy lived for several years after
losing her leg and died only a month
ago. She would, when things did not
go just right, stand on her three good
legs and kick everything within reach
xvith her artificial member.
