When the child was reached it was all so badly burned that there seemed tj0 to be no hopes for its recovery. Phy- f sicians were immediately summoned. re, but despite their efforts to give re- t0 lief, death came about 5 o'clock. ? pe; DECLARES SEX CONTROL SURE. l0\ we Chicago Man Confident, After Years pei of Experimentation With Chickens, on mg Dr. Oscar Riddle's experiments in sex control have reached such a stage wi that he now asserts that he has secured such control over pigeons and m? doves.

Pea Crop on Rented Land A reader asks: "Does it pay to a renter sow oats or wheat for e-third of the crop put in the landd's barn and allow the renter fre'fe 5 of the land to sow peas, or should j landlord also have a share of the as as rent on the land for that )p? If not, would it be better for 5 land to grow up in grass and eds to be turned under before >st than to have the land bare and thing to turn under after the peas i CUt?" If the pea crop is cut and sold, or cut and fed and the manure not ;urned to the land, we believe the ldlord should have a share of the a crop for rent. If the cowpeas i grazed off. or if the cowpea hay is i 1, the manure saved and returned the land, the landlord can well af-d to waive the rent of the land growing the pea crop, especially the renter will use 200 or 300 unds acid phosphate per acre on j j cowpeas. Practically the same swer applies to the second quesn. If the cowpeas are removed im the land and no stable manure urned, nor acid phosphate applied the pea crop, i,t will make little Terence to the landlord whether a a crop is grown or the land is alved to grow a crop of grass and eds to be plowed under. If the a crop is removed and nothing put the land, the amount of nitrogen ly be slightly increased, but the pply of phosphoric acid and potash 11 be reduced; while the growth of ass and weeds will add humusiking material but will neither add nor take from the supply of plant )ds in the soil. One-third the wheat crop should fair annual rent for the land and he landlord can make any arrangemt regarding the pea crop that will d to the fertility of the soil, he ould be willing to allow the renter grow a crop of peas after the teat is off.

Louis Parker's play, "Joseph anc His Brethren," with its scenic splendors, including a representation ol Joseph's well, reminds one that the remnants of the original well are tc be found at a spot situated directly on the canal route from Schechen: to Memphis about two miles southeast of Cairo. The well itself is ir the Court yard of some barracks belonging to the army of occupation. Near by is "the citadel," the second largest mosque in Egypt. The well bears signs of having been brick ed up. Yet it is easy to see uiai Joseph's discomfiture could not have been so great as one might imagine For this well, like all the wells ol Egypt, is one of a circumference much larger than those of to-da) and Joseph would have been able to exercise his limbs with ease b> walking around it. Moreover when the Nile is low these wells are quite dry.?London Correspondence tc New York Sun. Roads Win Mileage Book Fight. Washington, Oct.. 31.?The sale ol interchangeable mileage books with the requirement that the coupons be exchanged for tickets before a journey is begun was held by the commerce commission to-day to be neither discriminatory nor in violation ol law. The decision was reached in a proceeding prompted by a complaint ol the railroad commission of South Carolina directed against the practice of the Southern Railway and other roads operating in the South, which require that mileage shall be exchanged for tickets instead of being used directly for the checking of baggage or transportation upon trains The legislature of South Carolina passed an act requiring railroad companies operating in that State to receive coupons from mileage books on trains for transportation and for the checking of baggage. A similar Act passed by the Georgia legislature was vetoed by the Governor. The rairoads thereupon adopted a regulation 'that coupons from mileage books would not be accepted in exchange for a ticket for a journe> wholly within the State of Soutt Carolina. A new form of mileage book was issued for intrastate travel in that State. The State authorities complained tc the commission that South Carolina was being discriminated against. In its decision, however, the commission holds that the complaint "was based upon a desire to secure discriminatory advantages." In the belief of the commission and of Com. Marble, who prepared the opinion, such inconveniences as are caused to travellers by the use of the exchange mileage books can be removed easily by increased effici ncy in station operation. Various Opinions Expressed. Columbia, October 31.?That a 2cent passenger rate bill will be introduced at the next session of the General Assembly, that Senator Tillmar will introduce a bill requiring thai railroads honor South Carolina mileage books outside the State and thai the case will not be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States was the opinion given to-night bj several interested in the case, as the possible result of the interstate commerce commission's order turninf down the appeal of the South Carolina railroad commission to force the roads to accept interchangeable mileage. John G. Richards, Jr. chairman of the State railroad coin mission, could not be located in Columbia to-night. Other members ol the commission are in Washington attending the annual meeting of the railroad commissioners. J. Frasei Lyon, former Attorney General, represented the interests of the T. P. A in the fight before the railroad commission. He said to-night that in view of lack of funds that it was impossible to properly present the case to the interstate commerce commission. H said there was a number ol interruptions in the case, over which the attorneys had no control. Mr. Lyon made argument in Washington upon request of the T. P. A. and the railroad commission.
