In discussing the probable annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States, one of the London evening newspapers re- cently made the assertion that Japan's | navy was greatly superior to ours.

Two battle ship contracts have recently been let by Japan—one for a 14.N%)-ton pship to the Thames iron works, England, and one for a 11,000-ton ship to the Messrs. Thompson. Glasgow.

If our friends in England imagine that the Japanese navy is superior to ours they must be woefully ignorant of our recent progress. +2 TRAGIC SCENE AT A GRAVESID! Post Mortem Demanded to Clear Sus- picion From the Husband. nin the Atlanta Constitution. There was a sensation at Columbia, 8. C., today never before equaled in that city. A year ago Dr. Henry T. Kendall mar- ried Mics Guigrard, of Brookland, a sub- urb of Columbia. The marriage was against the wishes of her family. Two weeks ago Mrs. Kendall became sick with typhoid fever. Her husband declined of- fers of neighbers and employed a nurse. He attended her himself, but later called in his brother, Dr. F. D. Kendall, the largest practitioner In Columbia. A brother-in-law and uncle of Mrs. Ken- dall called but were not admitted, Dr. Ken- dal! saying his wife was too fll. There had never been © reconciliation with her family. The nurse told inauirine neighbors that he lady could occasionally sit up. On Sat- urday death came suddenly and Sunday the burial took place in Columbia. Slanderous tongues were wagging before the grave was closed. It was known Mrs. Kendall was in a delicate state of health and the charge was that death resulted from malpractice. Mrs Kendall was a member of one of the best old farilies in the state. In Brook- land it was said the lives of either of the doctors would be in danger if they ap- peared there. This. morning Dr. F. D. Kendall, in be- half of his brother, who was prostrated, demanded a post mortem. The deceased lady's family was notified and every phy- sician in Colmbia invited to attend. Ef- forts were then made by the family to have him desist, but he refused. The pres- ence of the leading business men in Co- lumbia was also requested. Juige A. C. Haskell, president of the Loan and Exchange Bank, arriving on the scene after the disinterment had begun, made a statement in which he expressed deep syrrpathy for the Kendall's, who he knew had been foully slandered by cow- ards. He dared any man to come forward with an affidavit. Then he yrged the doc- tor to desist. Dr. Kerdall ‘said that the post mortem mist be had to protect his brother. A charge of murder might be Lreferred a few weeks hence, and he would be powerless to disprove it. So the body was disinterred and the unanimous finding of the physicians was that death was caused by typhoid fever. Mrs. Kendall was a beautiful young wo- man. She had been married less than a year. ———_+e-+____ Tree Tonds Are Cox's “Brownies.” From the Worcester Gazette. The original of the Brownie’, those fin de siecle hobgoblins, have been discovered by Dr. Hodge to be the tiny tree toads. He hatched a large family of them some wecks ago in one of the windows of his house. The most striking thing about the Ittle fellows is their grotesquely human appear- ance. They have thin legs and arms with tiny fingers on the ends, but their bellies sre very large and round like the creatures of Palmer Cox's royalty, and one has only to imagine them in fantastic costume to have the. brownies in reality. ‘They strut about, too, and take all sorts of funny atti- tudes, and when their gentle keeper puts in a nasturtium leaf covered with plant lice the greedy lttle things clamber for the tiny pests. They stretch out their hands to grasp them, and then if they have diffi- culty in getting themselves outside a large mouthful, they put up their “hands” and shove in the food. The cage in which this ‘nteresting popu- lation are living is constructed of glass and wire netting, and is filled with moss, and there are vases where leaves ani flowers that are insect-ridden can be put in. It is a simple contrivance, and makes it easily possible to watch some of the inost com- mon processes of nature, such as that of the toads, whose function is to destroy the insect pests of the flower garden. A col- lection of-small creatures from all the region round is being made by Dr. Hodge, whose nature study is going to be a°lead- ing feature at the summer school, and he will have a large assortment arranged for observation at the university. The plan will also serve as an exhibition of a very simpie but most satisfactory form of na- ture study, and will doubtless be observed with a great deal of interest by the visiting educators, as a possibility for every school The arc light is said to be killing out the Conan Doyle's first rejected eleven rst novel, times, he sold for “Want’ ads. in The Star pay because Sel2-tt : “{ they bring KEEPING THE POOR WELL. The Problem an lt Werks Out York Clty. * New York Letter in the Springftold Republican, To make such a population live cleanly seems scarcely less difficult than the major necessity of their keeping alive at all. And yet it has largely been accomplished by the street cleaning department, seconded some- what by the health board, and rather re- luctantiy by ihe police, in the short space cf three years. Before that these hived creatures emptied their garbage and refuse from the windows into strcet or yard with- out hindrance It was the uw 1 thing with them in the lands they came from.

T knew very well last Satur- day that it was still the danger point for pestilence, and must be while human be- ings are so packed together, but I was also keenly sensible of the fact that authority at last was making a tremendous effort to protect health and mitigate life among the dwellers in the tenements, The buildings in which they are lodged are changing, too and for the better. In the older dens ciean- liness is enforced in stairways and cellars, but the people huddle in them almost as closely as ever. You see, they have always huddled so abroad, and think it neither wrong nor unhealthy here. Many new buildings are erecting, much better looking ard better latd out internally than. their predecessors, but the mania for height ts on them, as well as on the new business structures, and the new tenements are sel- dem less than ix stories high, with four Sets of rooms on each floor, or housing for about 150 inmates, as the tenements run— children, lodgers and all, Sutlen and r- mined was the opposition of the landlords to all the reforms, but louder, stronger an more determined still was the opposition of the tenants.

S William Atien White in Empori For hundreds of years—indeed, for thou- sands. since men began to write—the dream of contentment on a small farm has been a favorite one with busy, tired sccls. Now and then the drama ts re ized—but too often it is a nightmare. The latter-day writers have called this dream life in Arcady. Arcadian “quarters” and “eighties” are becoming rare. But there are six acres of Arcady two miles from Emporia, and the much-blessed man who own these acres is Fritz Richter. He has lived there half a generation. He and his wife have brought up a family of four —two stou handso: 8 and smart, industrious Lo: y have m a good living and have a little nest laid by and owe no man a doilar, and every perny of their income has grown out of these six acres. But they don’t do busi- ness as the average farmer does it. To begin with, Fritz puts up all his own meat. He kills and cures his hogs; when mily feels like a little fresh’ meat go pretty well he kills a fine black Langshan chicken or one of the boys bags a rabbit or a squir Mrs. Richter puts up peaches, plums, apricots, currants, goosebert cherries and apple butter. She puts down dried vegetables of all sorts. A chicory bed furnishes a good. fair sub- stitute for coffee, and Fritz raises his own tobacco.

Fritz says he for his extra plowing with pigs. He ly uses cash for anything. He has no “account” at any store in town. He never asks for credit. He has never had any canned goods in his house. He has never bought a pound of cured meat. He buys less than a dozen things at the grocery store—sugar, tea, a little coffee—for Sunday—fiour, meat, salt and other staples. Richter pays $2.9 taxes. He is road overseer and has been for years, and makes $22.50 a year out of at. This is the biggest lot of cash he has coming in. He does not lively stingily. His boys and girls are as well dressed as those of hit neighbors. They don’t go gallivanting around the country in a top buggy with a mortgage on it. They have lots of geod things to eat, and they have as good an education as any one—and more than that, they know that their parents are abso- lutely independent. soe Electricity, Insects and Disease. From the St. Louls Republte. G. W. Cashion, who is presumably a ve- racious, conscientious eltizen, went from hig home to St. Louis the other day, and as he sat at the hotel door looking at the “light- ning bugs’ in the gloaming, remarked that these insects were unknown a few years ago, and now they are pests in all the towns and cities in this country where clec- tricity is in considerable use. Said he: “I talked with a college professor at Ind‘an- apolis about them recently, and he is con- vinced that they have sprung up as a sort of spontaneous outgrowth of electric force. Anatomically, the electric bug is sul gen- eris, and appears to imbibe its sustenance from somé property in the air currents that lie in immediate Contact with the elec*ric currents. The cbllege professor to whom I spoke has been studying them close'y, and he says he is convinced that in the end they will prove a blessing, instead of a curse. He thinks it probable that after a while the enlarged use of electricity will generate new germs and microbes in the atmosphere that will be additional sources of disease and bodily ills to the human race, and that medical science will be un- able to cope with them for a long time. Meanwhile, nature is responding to the new demands on her storehouse by sending these swarms of bugs to purify the air of poisonous things put in by the arc lights and the trolley. He declares that he has watched this strange new bug carofully, and has thus far been unable to find out on what it subsists unless it be some unknown foreign substances brought into the atmos- phere by the electric currents. For that reason, he says, they are very properly de- nominated electric bugs, and he believes they are destined to serve a good purpose as scavengers of the air in the years to
