Ho many of tho younc men of Austria and Hungary havo emigrated to America that the armies of the dual monarchy task from i,0to to 100,000 soldiers this year to hear aim. Thene men should be In tho ranks, In stead they arc earning tlinlr l.'vcllhoMl In the Vntted States and Canada. Tito difficulty In setting recruits Is Increasing Instead ot diminishing, and tho military authortles of both Austra and Hungary aro beginning to show their consterna tion and even their wrath itt this very serious state of affairs. The emigration from Austria and Hungary for the first halt .jf 1013 toMho United States and Canada ha been un jireMKlMited. Tho situation !s such thai the ministers of war of the two state are today jealously superivslttg the Intro duction of new emigration laws In the Parliaments of Vienna and lludniMsc "When the Austrian Cotncil ot Minister f j-ecentljr presented the draft of p. hew bill to the Minister of War, this official expressed himself as greatly displeased at tho mildness of tho res'.rli.'Mra de vised for preventing Austria..! youth from going abroad. Farm Labor Scarce. Farmers In many parts of Austria and Hungary have long complained that no labor was procurable, all tho able bodied young men having emigrated. The authorities remained compatatlvoly Indifferent, until today thcy.flnJ that emigration Is seriously affecting ro crultlng. Now they are deeply con cerned. At the last enrollment of recruits on Sune 30 the Cracow army corps reported that 83,872 young men fAlled to answer the military summons, having left the country. The Frzemysl corps was 28,115 nhort, the Lemberg corps 83,800. In alt the crown lands large numbers of men JIable to military service had disappeared, 3t was estimated that 81,000 had gone from Oallcla and Bukowtnd alone. Mnny tlm io Cnaatla. 1 Such a condition of affairs Is cape tlally serious at the present time when, owing to changes In the strategical con dltlons of the Balkan countries, the re cruiting levy of Austria-Hungary Is about to be Increased by 40,000 men, Tho nega tion to Canada is particularly displeasing to the war ministry, as few of these emigrants aver return.

These vtntft .considered in connection with the recent moblllcation and seemingly tend ing to show that the International out look may sot be a clear as Is generally aupsosed, have caused much comment tn Belgium. quarter section. Things looked cloudy tor fioullv and his lack.ra.hbtl nrpnervn. Senator Blllston Insisted on the amend ment to make It "statute book" instead of "official stato paper," which would permit suffering landowners to unload a little more ot their landscape upon moneyed foreigners. Senator Osborn de- mandrnl nil nmpni'.miMit in thn flrat ee- tlon, whereby tho bill would not affect existing contracts for tho salo or land to aliens. That covered Lord Scully's options. Senator Murdock objected to that amendment on the grounds that Lord Scully had contracts tor a lot moro land In Butler county where ho already owned too much. Then Senator If. P. Kclley hopped up and asked if tho bill would wlp out Lord Scully's present holdings? Nor T,hen the 1I1 was' Imperfect, and should be so amended as to chaso the alien out of the state. And with a restriction of one quarter section to each land hlingry alien the bill passed tho Kansas senate on January SO, 1SS3, by a vote of 30 yeas and 3 nayas. But, although It Is hard to find further evidence of the case In tho old newspaper files, It might bo gathered that tho bill was cither killed upon Its second visit to tho senate or mot with tho disapproval of tho governor, as the general statutes printed since that time do not mention Its passage. When tho Mohler bill got to tho house It was at tho tall end of tho session. A certain' Mr. Jones moved that consider ation thereof be postponed indefinitely, JIr. Iloch of Marion (name sounds fami liar), opposed tho motion and wanted the bill passed right away, Ho called attention to the fact that an amendment to tho constitution to the effect that "ownership of land by aliens may ba regulated by legislative action" had carried by over 200,000, and he thought the bill should bo passed as amended. (By that time It hud !.,. amended to a point where it made it all oui a lynchablo offense for an alien to own anything but his shoestrings In Kansas.) And tho bill namiM in w form and was sent back to the senate. inings were coming for a fomin in tt,. senate. There was plenty of poison and olouuence waiting for Lord Scully, but there was also a largo number of local mils and personal pets to bo cored for.

German Doctor Finds the Cause and Cure For Sea Sickness BERLIN, Aug. 20. The caUsa and tho cure for seasickness have been discov ered by a Dr. Fischer of B(t Nauhelm. according to a report made by the doctor to the Munich Medical Weeekly. lie announces that it is the pneumo gastrlo nerve which makes trouble for thoso who go down to the sea In ships, By artificially tickling this nerve ho has produced seasickness In patients on solid land, and by giving it an opiate In tho shupo of an Infinitely small Injection of atropln he has lulled It to sleep dur ing an cntlro transatlantc crossing, giv ing complete relief to tho worst sufferers In tho stormiest weather. In tho coursa of a series of experiments, Dr. Fischer Injected drugs which acted as an irritant to the pneumogastrlo nerve, and found that there resulted symptoms precisely similar to those of seasickness, includ ing nausea, vomiting, headache, etc. Shortly thereafter tho physician mado a trip to American ana return, men winds and rough seas furnished him plenty of material, and thero was no lack of seasick victims, who were willing to submit to any treatment. The doctor injected atropln, on- milligram In the case of men, and thrco-fourth of a milligram In the case of women. In nearly every case thero was a rapid disappearance of all symptoms. Nausea and vomiting dis appeared within half an hour, and within three or four hours tho last symptoms had vanished. Even tho pulse becamo regulor. Ilenewed and heavier storms failed to counteract the working of the drug. In only a few cases wero second Injections necessary. The drug acted most tjutckly on patients whoso condltton was the worst. Dr. Fischer declares that atropln. In tho smalt quantities necessary, Is quite harmless. VETERAN OF THE TREASURY Womnn Record of Forty-ISIne Years' Service as Uncle dam's Money Counter. Elghty-ona years old and rounding out fifty years ob a government employe In tho 'Treasury department In Wash ington Is the record of Miss Emma It. Graves. Forty-nine years of this service, which was up April 12, last, was spent in tho redemption division of Vie treasury, and despite tho fact that Miss Graves pleaded to bo left In that division for one year more, so as to celebrate her golden an niversary in one division, she was trans ferred to the register's office. She ntlll occupies tho position of an .expert counter, counting notes which havo been turned In to the government and which are cut in half before being destroyed. Miss Graves was among the first women employes of tho goverrimcnt, a number having been - placed in service In 186i by Frank E. Spinner, then treas urer of tho United States. She camo from Bloomvlllo, N. Y., fifty threo years ago, on B, visit to relatives. It was right at tho beginning of the civil war. Shu saw some excUlng times in tho city of Washington. She was persuaded to stay by her relatives and' take a position in tho Treasury Department. 'Secretary Chas5 ot the Treasury De partment was very much opposed to women employes in tho government serv ice,' said Miss Graves. "Francis 4. Spinner, then treasurer of tho United States, after much persuasion on his part, finally secured tho permission ot Secretary Chase to glvo the women a (rial bm ffnv.mmnii t itlnrlfM Tf hnrl Tlfnr. (Ically became a necessity for the gov-1 ernmont to employ women All ot tho ! men and boys had gone to war and the work had to be done, so tho only course open seemcM to be to glvo the women a chance. "Mr. Spinner told Secretary Chaso that If after a trial the women proved satis factory he would employ more. Then, ot course, there wasn't much gold and ell ver. and they had to have more of the fractional currency, and they used to have to cut tho money by hand. Mr. Spinner also pointed out that women were moro skillful with tho scissors than the men, and this was another argu ment why they should bo given a chance. Tho redemption division was established at that tlmo on account of tho paper money. "Finally, after a year's trial, Treasurer Spinner went to Secretary Chase and told him how satisfactory the work of the women had been, ' and said that ho hadn't lost a cent, nnd that was moro than he could say tor the men. "Wo never forgot Treasurer Spinner. After his death we felt that wo owed the appointment of women to him, so the women contributed to a fund and a mon umcnt costing 110,000 was bought, It Is now located In Myers park, Ilorklmor, N. Y. Wo mado several attempts to get permission to place tho monument on the front steps of tho treasury, but the off! clals refused on the ground that It would furnish a precedent. "The appointment of women to the government servlco at that time, in my opinion, opened many fields for them. Before that time they had never thought of leaving home, and all they did was to get .ready to marry," Miss Graves is yet active, despite her 81 years. She gets about just as quickly as many of tho younger clerks in tho de partment. She Is tho eldest of three sisters, tho only members of her family now living. Her father and brother both served tn iho union army during the civil war, both In tho Ninety-seventh New York, familiarly known as "Conkllng8 lltflemcn," named for Senator Conkllng. Her brother, she said, at tho time he en listed as a drummer boy was so small that he could not march and he had to b placed on the baggago wagon. New York Sun.

I Jut two dosen years ago last January it was that Kansas began to view the foreign invasion with alarm and magnify' Jng glasses. The Innocent object Of WVth wa one Lord 'William Scully, an Englishman who came to Kansas with Ais leather-seated riding pants and a wad, of perfectly good money. In Butler county ho purchased a large tract ot land and took options on adjoining tracts. And the preservers ot the ge lorious commonwealth decided that Lord Scully was & menace to the nation. At the next session ot the legislature. January, 1SS9, senate bill 79, an aci to restrict the ownership of land by aliens In this state, was Introduced. It, was propagated and defended by a Senator Mohler, and restricted any person not a vi me unuea mates to one quarter section of land. But tha bill met some opposition. Senator Elliston observed that thero wero some settlers In western Kansas who had land to sell. and that they would as soon sell it to aliens as to native sons, and a Utfie ooner, maybe, because some ot the aliens had purchase money, a form ot portable property which was blamed scarce at that moment Senator Mohler came back with some caustic remark about traitors to the no or me free, and pulled enough agio feather to stuff pillow. Henator Elliston offered an amendment per- TnlHInw .1!.... t . a wu iu uwn as rnucn as a whole section of land-providing they paid for it. Senator Hoe candldiv art.
