He said he might as well De accused of trying fo intluence the suits against Harriman, some of whose friends had also criticized him, He said that both Moyer and Haywoud stand us repre- sentatives of thuse who habitually ap- pear as guilty of incitement to or apology for bloudshed and violence. He added that he was profoundly in- different to the condemuation of him for his criticisms of the undesirable types of citizens, regarless of the power of either labor or capital. ‘The letter in part is as follows: “April 22, 1907,—Dear Sir: I have received your letter of the 19th inst, Ja which you bnelose the draft of the formal letter which is to follow, 1 have been notified that several dele- gations bearing similar requests are on the way hither. In the letter you, on behalf of the Cook County Moyer- Haywood Conference, protest against certain language 1 used in a recent letter which you assert to be designed ‘to influence the ourse of justice In the case of the trial for murder of Messrs. Moyer and Haywood. 1 en- tirely agree with you that it is im- proper to endeavor to influence the course of justice, whether by threats or in any sinillar manner. For this reason 1 have regretted most deeply the action of such organizations as your own in undertaking to accom- plish this very result in the very case of which you speak. For Instance, your letter is headed “Cook County Moyer-Haywoud-Pettibone Conference’ with the headiiues ‘Death cannot, will not and shall not elaim-our brothers.” ‘This shows that you and your asso- clates are not demanding a fair trial, or working for a fair trial, but are announcing in advance that the ver- dict shail only be one way, and that you will not tolerate any other ver- dict. Such action {fs flagrant ‘in its impropriety, and 1 join heartily in condemning It. “But it is a simple absurdity to suppose that because any man is on trial for a given offense he Is, therefore, to be freed from all criti- cisms upon his general conduct and manner of life, In my letter, to which you object, I referred to a certain prominent financier, ‘Harriman, on the one hand, and to Messrs. Moyer, Hay. wood-and Debs ou the other, as being equally undesirable citizens, It is as foolish to assert that this was design. ed to influence the trial of Moyer and Haywood as to assert that It was designed to intluence the suits that haye been brought against Harriman. L neither expressed, uor indicated, any opinion as to whether Messrs. Moyer, and Haywood were guilty of the mur: der of Governor Steunenberg. If they are guilty, they ought to be punished. it they are not guilty, they certainly ought not be punished.” Both Bristols Now Dry, | ‘Phe local option election in the Vir- ginla portion of ‘Bristol last Tuesday, ‘was hotly Contested by the saloontsts and anti-saloonists, the largest vote in the history of the town being czst ‘The anti-saloomists won by a majority of 2017out of a total vote of 871.

SE A large number of the machinists employed at the E. Van Winkle Gin and Machinery Works, at Atlanta, are now out on a strike inaugurated near- ly three weeks ago, by order of At- lanta lodge, No. 1, of the International Association of Machinists, This strike was the occasion of the filing of an equitable petition Monday in the superior court by the Van Win- kle compans, praying that the sald lodge, its members and the striking machinists named as defendants in the petition be enjoined and restrain- ed from Interferring in any manner with the labor now employed at the machinery works, and from posting pickets about the works, the ends of the car lines and the depot for the purpose of Inducing workmen to quit their positions or to refrain from working for the company. Judge Pendleton granted a tempor- ary restraining. order as prayed for in the petition, and set the hearing of the petition for Saturday, gu at. The petition shows by the exhibits attached therdto that the grievances complained of by the lodge and the machinists are that the company dis- criminated against the membefs of or- ganized labor; did not observe the rules ald down by organized Jabor in regard to the employment ef handy men on«muchinists’ work, and declin- ed to adopt and post rules governing these conditions. The petition recites that the works manufactures steam and hydraulle en- eines, cotton machinery and other like machinery, $500,000 being invest- ed in the plant, which employs 300 men, many of whom are machinists, the weekly pay-rol amounting to $3,300, that Edward Van Winkle, the president of the Works, Is, and has al- ways been, kind and considerate of the welfare and comfort of his em- ployes, to whom good wages were paid, ‘and they seeméd Nappy and “contented up to @ recent period. | Petitioner complains that In March, 1207, F. W. MeCabe, business agent of the lodge, called at the shops and had an Interview with President Van Winkle, complaining that no rules were posted in the stop, to which the prestdent replivd that the men had neglected to heep them up, and they had become lost or destroyed; that thereupon McCabe furnished a set of rules, which petitioner did not think sultable or proper for the con- duct of its business, and rules fram- ed by the president were posted in lieu of those submitted by the lodge. This caused a kick and McCabe wrote a letter notifying the president of the works that if the matter was not ad- Justed satisfactorily by March 31, ‘there would be trouble, | ‘Thereafter the defendants ordered .the strike, and a large number of the machinists walked out, after which, petitioner charges, the lodge and its members posted pickets at the very sates of their premises, at the ends of the car lines, and at the passen- Ger depots to dissuade other machin- ists and: those who remained at work from working for the Van Winkle Company. The company charges that tni§2was an unlawful combination be- tween the lodge and the machinists, its real purpose being to ualonizé the shops, to prevent the employment of machinists not members of the order, to fix wages irrespective of the rights of employers, and to force non-union men out of the shops, and that the subsequent posting of pickets was the Tesult of a conspiracy between tho lodge and the machinists against the company for the purpose of closing down thelr business, and forcing them to yield to unreasonable demands, TO HONOR JUDGE BLECKLEY, ee eee Monument to Great Jurist. Citizens of Clayton, Ga. have” be- gun a movement to erect a monu- ,ment to Judge Logan E. Bleckley, a uative of the town and one of Geor- gla’s most illustrious dead. It 4g pro- posed that the new schvol building which is to be erécted in the town near the judge's birthplace ‘be named the Logan E. Bleckley Memorial In- stitute. The town has already raised a}con- siderable sum by subscription for tli} building. Rabun- county and the whole state will be asked to contrib. ute. The main building {fs to cost something lke $10,000.

ALTERNATIVE Organized Suseey Must Rely on Nebraskan for Any Hope of Suc- cess, is’ Opinion of Ken- cess, is’ Opinion of Ken- tucky Statesman, Col. Henry Watterson, the editor, and Mrs. .Watterson, arrived at New York Monday from Europe. An: other passenger was Frigate Captain Sembiar Poschwitz, flag adjutant of the German navy, who is going to the Jamestown exposition. | Colonel: Watterson sald, ia an in. ‘terview, that William J. Bryan seenr ed to be tHe only man in the run. ning for the Democrdtic némination for the presidency. “Mr. Bryan is an individual man with a certain following,” he sald. “He Is not, a lawgiver, he may be a Jaw unto himself. It remains to be seen if the fragments of the Demo- cratie party, lying around loose, can be united on a new program. “I think that organized Democracy at the present time can sce no other alternative except Bryan. Nobody {s ‘being seriously considered running. 1 ‘sometimes doubt whether he himself cares a fig for the presidency. For 1 should think {f he belleved Demo. ¢racy had a reasonable chance of carrying the country and that he might be nominated he would be more circumspect and would show a great er sense of responsibility than he seems to be showing.” Asked what he considered the most vital Issue to be raised by the Demo. cratic party, Colonel Watterson said: “The one thing to constitute a mil. itant Democracy is that we must ink together. So long as we don't, ‘there is no use proposing any Is. sue. The relations of franchise cor- porations to the public and of capital ‘and labor are the great economic problems to be worked out in the coming year. We are on the thresh: hold of their rapid development. “{-do not belleve President Roose velt wants a third term for himself. I know he recently stated that if the convention nominated him and ad. journed, it would have to reconvene as he would never accept another nomination, I am willing to take him at his word.” Colonel Watterson declared that Governor Hughes was a force to be ‘reckoned with in Republican poll ties. “I predicted last June,” he satd, ‘that Hughes would succeed Roose yvelt in the white house.” “BLACK HAND" IN COURT. More Than a Score of Cut-Throat Forsigners Placed on Trial. More than a score of foreigners charged with being members of the “Black Hand,” responsible for a large number of ‘crimes, were placed on trial at Wilkesbarre, Pa., Monday. ‘Thirteen, cases of shooting with at: tempt to kill,-thirteen of conspiracy, six of dynamiting and two of rob- bery by threats and menacks are charged against the men, who are alleged to be the leaders of the “Black Hand.” MADE COLONEL WRATHY.

A southern colonel, now in Washington, received one, and he im- mediately sent it to Postmaster Gen- ‘eral Meyer, with the request for an opinion as-to whether or not the-card was Insulting, and if so, was it eliet- ble for passage through the mail. The matter was taken under advisement IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATION Plan of Work Has Been Adopted by Special Commission, ‘The immigration commission was in ‘session for threo hours at Washing: ton Tuesday considering the defatis of the proposed investigation.

Philadelphia Quakeress Gives Income fram ,That Amount for Colored Rudimentary Schools in South. A gift of $1,000,008 for the establish. ment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern negroes was an- nounced at Philadelphia Tuesday night, The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakeress of Philadelphia, Booker T, Washington, head of Tuskegee In- stitute aud Hollis Burke Frizzell, president of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Iustitute, are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift. The income of the million dollars is to be used for the sole purpose of assisting in the “southern United States community, country and rural schools for the great class of negroes to whom the small rural and commu. nity schools are alone avullable.” ‘Miss Jeanes, the donor, is about 80 years old, and comes from an old and wealthy family. She has long been interested in the welfare of the negro, and has been a contributor to institutions for their education. She has known Booker Washington for a décade, . In transferring the million dollars to the trustees, Miss Jeanes states Ihat “trusting and believing in the practical and far-reaching good that may result from the moral and ele- vating Influence of rural schools for negroes in the southern states, taught by reputable teachers, | do hereby ap- point Booker T, Washington of Tus- egee, Ala, and Hollis Burke Friz zell of Hampton, Va., and their suc- cessors in the trust appointed and cre- ated us hereinafter directed, the trus: tees of an endowment fund in per- petuity of one million dollars, which is, hereby created, to be known as ‘the fund for rudimentary schools for ‘southern negroes,’ the income thereof shall be devoted to the sole purpose of wussisting in the southern United States, community, country and rural schools for the great class of negroes to whom the small rural and commu. nity Schools are ulone available. ~ “Should the sald Booker T.

The democratic platform of 1908, if W. J. Bryan controls the convention, will not demand absolute government ownership of railroads. This was au- thoritatively announced at Omaha, Sat- urday, by James C.

From the same source it Is stated | that tari reform will again become ja, dominant feature of the platform. While Mr, Dablman was not able to go into minute details, he says the prominent planks in Mr. Bryan's plat- form will concern trusts, the tarif, state regulation and money, the rail- road ownership plank, belng conspic- uous by its absence. Const{tutional guarantees will have a strorg indorsement and the accept ance of. campaign contributions from trusts and large corporations will re- ceive severe condemnation. The plat: form will define the necessity for and proper use of money contributed for running campaigns.

BETWEEN SIX AND-SEVEN YEARS Panama Ganal Will Be Completed, Says Stevens. John F. Stevens, formerly chiet en- gineer and chairman of the isthmlan canal commission, was a caller at the white house Saturday. His visit was a personal one, he sald, as he had not seen the president since his re tura to this country.

He sald the two banking houses stand in the position of Innocent purchasers. ost -FRUIT KILLED. Sweep of winery, Bilezard in Many States Will Entail Loss of Several Millions of Dollars. A sharp drop in temperature fol- lowed the snow storm Saturday, night, 14 degrees abové' zero being récorded by the weather bureau in Denver and Pueblo, and fruit of all kinds in east- ern Colorado, wecording to specials, was nipped in the bud. At Grand Junction, the center of the more fm- portant fruit region west of the con- tnental divide, the temperature fell 30 degrees Sunday, and the weather observer there reported tbat thd con- dition of fruit was grave. While dam- age to the fruit in Colorado, accord: ing to some estimates, may amount to_ several million dollars, nearly all other crops will be merely benefited by the moisture. A remarkable feature of the stow storm was that it was more severe In the-lowlands than Mm the mountains. While the precipitation covered a large area, Including all Colorado, Wy- oming and part of South Dakota, Ne- brasha, Texas and New Mexico, the snow was mostly confined to the east- ern slope of the Rocky mountains, and extended from Lander, Wyo., and Rapid City, S. D., on the north to Santa Fe, N. M, and Roswell, N, Mf, on the south. = Only # slight snow occurred west' of the continental divide, The storm originated’ in the north and- worked, its way slowly to the south, passing out of the state late Sunday atter- noon. Frederick H. Brandenburg, district forecaster, who estimated the snow- fall In’Denver at 17 1-2 Inches, sald that though the snow storm was re- markable in that city for April, it was by no means unprecédented. On April 21, 22 and 23, 1885, the records show a snowfall of 32 Inches, 27 inches falling on the last day of the storm. On the whole, it 1s asserted that while the storm was heavier than any of the entire winter, and some damage Is reported, the resulting good will offset the loss many fold. 4 Advices from Omaha, Neb.,. state that as a result of the unprecedent- edly warm weather which prevailed during the greater part of the month of March, and the freezing weather and heavy snowfall of the last few days, early fruits, such as peaches, plums and cherries, in that region have been injured, but the general opinion Is that the damage is not as great as has been reported: Indeed; many are of the opinion that while early fruits have been injured, and -in some Instances killed, benefits re- sulting to the grain crop from the snow storm more than offset the dam- age. 6 . Snew fell In El Paso, Texas, Sunday morning at 2 lively rate for more than an.hour, This is the latest snowfall ever known there, and the tempera- ture, which was 36 degrees, did much damage to the small fruit and truck gardens in the valley variously estl- mated at from $30,000 to $100,000. THREE TRAINS IN CRASH. Peculiar Wreck on Southern Kills Two is | and Injurfes Many. : ‘As the result of a double wreck on the Southern rallway a short distance vast of Woodlawn, a suburb of Bir- mingham, Ala., early Sunday morning, two men are dead and a number in- Jured. ‘The unusual character of the wreck makes it surprising that the casualties were not more, A freight train with 2 dead, engine on the rear, was mov- ing towards Birmingham?

Coal Dealers Will .Boycott Mines If © They Are “Caught.” = At the closing session in Atlanta-of the Retall Coai Dealers’ Convention, the fact was developed that a mine owner will be immediately boycotted by the members of the Southeastern Retall Coal Dealers’ Association, if he sells directly to consumers. One of the chief objects and alms of this association is to prevent con- sumers buying their coal direct‘ from the mine owner. a im THE SONNET. What is a sonnet? 'Tis the pearly shell That murmurs of the far-off murmuring A precious jewel carved most curiously; It is a little picture galanced well. It From a great poet's hidden ecstasy; A two-edged sword, a star, a song—ah Sometimes a heavy-tolling funeral bell. This was the flame that shook with Dan- The solemn organ whereon Milton played. And clear glass where Shakespe- re's shadow falls. A sea this is—howeve who ventureth! For like a flord the narrow floor is laid. Murmur deep to the sheer mountain walls Mrs. Potter looked up from her sewing with an expression of mingled anxiety and triumph on her face as Mr. Potter came into the room one June afternoon. "Your cousin Maria has gone," she said, slowly. "She took the early train, right after luncheon." "You didn't—nothing has been said or done to offend her, I know," said Mr. Potter, loyally, "but what on earth started her? Didn't we gather that she—er—proposed to be with us for some time longer?" Mrs. Potter nodded and smiled. Mrs. Potter hooded and smiled: "She meant to stay until after Edith Catter's wedding, two weeks from today," she said, "but her plans changed suddenly. Of course I haven't said one word to let her know we really needed our guest-room, though it's been hard not to do it." "You've been mighty kind to her, poor old Maria," said Mr. Potter appreciatively. "But it was the telephone that sent her on," continued his wife. "Now don't stand around looking worried, James. Sit down comfortably in your own chair and I'll tell you all about it. "Of course you know, James, that I agree with you there never was a better woman than your cousin Maria, and you agree with me that if she weren't quite so helpful and competent we should enjoy her visits a great deal more than we do now." "There's never been any use in telling you how provoked it makes Ethel to have your cousin Maria take tucks in her skirts when she decides I've let the dressmaker have her own way too much and make them too long. There's nothing to be gained by telling you what fearful times I've had with Wed when your cousin Maria has said in his hearing that twenty-five cents a week was more than enough for a little boy of his age to spend; and I'm sure I'd scorn to mention the annoyance I've felt over her rearranging the furniture and the plants and everything. "But I know I have sometimes spoken of the邻居's feelings when she's told them how to economize and do their hair, and make home happy. They've been cautions, because they know she's as good as gold and it's just her way, but they have been irritated, James, and I've heard of it." "Well, I think her greatest comfort, really, has been Edith Carter. She has said a hundred times that she only hoped our Ethel might 'develop' such a lovely character as Edith's, which isn't at all likely, for Ethel is so outspoken and Edith slides along without ever letting you know whether she likes things or not; she has that sweet, apparently yielding disposition. I say apparently, Janes, because over since Edith became engaged to that ranchman, that none of the family really care for. I've felt that underneath she has a will of iron." Mrs. Potter paused for breath, but as her husband opened his mouth to speak, she ended on: "Of course your cousin Maria was determined to stay here to see that young man, find out whether she approved of him, and give him some sound advice as to the care of Edith, whom she considers very delicate. She says how Edith's parents can be so blind as to think she's strong is beyond her; though when you realize how she can shop all the morning, play tennis all the afternoon and dance all the evening, it isn't strange to me. "Your cousin Maria told Edith what she should do, and of course Edith just smiled in that pretty way of hers, and said, 'Dear Miss Maria' half under her breath. Anybody would have thought she was delighted. I've told Maria all I could about the young man—told her he was big and breezy and had a contagious smile and an infectious laugh, and a determined chin, but nothing I could say satisfied her. "You remember he was expected next Monday? This is Thursday, your cousin Maria was over at the Carter's yesterday afternoon, and she told me that if today proved fair the whole family were going down to Saltville to spend the day with Aunt Patience; she is too feeble to come up for the wedding, and she's devoted to Edith. They were to let Hannah have the day to go to her sisters, for she will have to work so hard next week. "So this morning, proving fair, your cousin Maria said to me, 'Of course they've gone,' and settled down quite contentedly with me in the sitting-room. "I think I've mentioned to you once or perhaps twice, James, that she's been pretty trying about the telephone—telling people I'm too busy to talk to them, and answering the rings for number four because she 'thought they must mean three,' and so on. Well, we hadn't been sitting there ten minutes when the telephone rang two, loud and clear, and Marla sprang to her feet. "We aren't two, you know; we are three," I said feebly, but of course I saw at once, what she meant to do. She took down the receiver and said, in her crispest voice, 'The family whose number is two are away. Please do not annoy us by continuing to ring,' and hung up the receiver. She waited a minute, and then there came a sharper call for two, and with a flash in her eyes she took down the receiver again. "I've been meaning to discipline that telephone girl,' she said over her shoulder to me, and then she said, 'Give me the desk.' I was sliding so near I could hear the telephone girl's voice say, 'What number are you?' 'Number three,' said Maria, 'and I wish the desk.' 'Nnumber two was called,' said the telephone girl. 'Please hang up your receiver at once.' 'Your cousin Maria didn't hang up the receiver—you know her well enough. James to be sure she wouldn't. She laid it on the table and stood there beside it. Then all at once I heard a soft voice. I was sure it was Edith Carter's, and then—the room seemed to be filled with a great roar. Your cousin Marta jumped, and so did I. " 'Edith' the voice roared. 'Edith! You must have got, my telegram. Some meddling, interfering busybody has been trying to prevent—' My lap was full of the ruffles for Ethel's skirt, but I managed to run with them to the telephone and hang up the receiver. Your cousin Maria's face was a study, and she looked pretty limp as she sank into a chair. In about fifteen minutes she sat up stiffly. I don't think she'd heard anything I said in the meantime, and announced she was going home on the one-forty-five, and then she hurried up-stairs to pack. "I tried to help her, and I asked her if she would come back for the wedding, but she only gave a sort of shudder and said, 'No! That man! No!' "Edilr ran in on her way to the train, and told how she'd had a telegram from her ranchman early in the morning, and had waited to meet him and go down to Aunt Patience's on the noon train. She looked just as tranquil and sweet as ever, but she said there had been some little misunderstanding' about the telephone that morning. She 'thought perhaps the people who have number four, who are new on the line, had not quite—' Her voice was trailing away when Maria spoke from over the top of the stairs with her arms full of dress shirts. "It wasn't the number four people, and you know it, Edith," she called. "It was me—she never thought of grammar. 'You can tell your ranchman for me that the meedling, Interfering busybody has learned from him what nobody else has ever dared to tell tell—and she's going home to think it over. And you needn't think I'm offended. I'm not, as this will prove to you, child—only I don't care to meet your young man yet awhile.'" "And she tossed down an envelope to Edith with a fifty-dollar check in it, 'for something pretty, with her love.'" "Edith hadn't a minute, but she ran up and kissed Marla, twice over. "I tried to persuade Marla to stay after that, but I couldn't/ She went, in spite of all I said." "Poor old Marla!" said Mr. Potter, slowly. "A blow like that stays by one. Do you suppose she'll ever come again?" Mrs. Potter looked at him with a smile. "She said she'd come on in the fall to see that I got Ethel properly fitted out for school," she said, quietly. "I don't believe even the telephone will entirely change her, all at once, James." "Youth's Companion." EEL MYSTERY SOLVED. Science Finds That They Spawn at Sea and Travel Inland. The public just learns that it did not know where eels bred, but it seems that the problem has long puzzled biologists. Danish marine investigators have now-completed investigations proving that so far as the European eel population is concerned the creatures spawn at a depth of 500 fathoms in the Atlantic Ocean contiguous to the British Isles and southwest Europe. From innumerable eggs there appear tiny larvae called leptocephali, which are transparent, jellylike and flat, having something of the contour of a talless herring. It is not known how long the eggs take to develop the leptocephali, but the latter occupy six months in transition to the familiar elvers, which are about two inches long. The elvers then migrate in countless swarms to the shores of western Europe, travelling in columns sometimes several yards wide and miles long. Nothing stops their progress. If they encounter a ship they separate to the right and left and rejoin in the vessel's wake. They invaded every river and waterway on the coasts, ascending steadily landward. They even ascend small waterfalls, penetrate streams and wriggle over swampy grounds into ponds and ditches.—New York Sun. Tobacco was legal tender in the American states when they were still colonies of Great Britain. BOSTON TALKS BACK. Warns Folks Not to Sneer at It Lest, Like Poe, They Die in a Hospital. Quite naturally, Boston people were rather plued when H. C. Wells, on his recent visit to this country, declared—though in other words—that Boston seemed to be as calm and slumbrous-as the Sleeping Beauty. The answers to Mr. Wells are now being pronounced. Edwin D. Mead made some remarks to the Bostonian Society the other day, in which he quoted the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table to the effect that no man could come to Good who attempted to sneer at Boston. "After a man begins to attack the State House, when he gets bitter about the Frog Pond, you may be sure there is not much left of him," said Mr. Mead. "Poor Edgar Poe died in the hospital soon after he got into this way of talking; and so sure as you find an fortunate fellow reduced to this pass, you had better begin praying for him, and stop lending him money, for he is on his last legs. "Remember poor Edgar! He is dead and gone; but the State House has its cupola fresh gilded and the Frog Pond has got a fountain that squirts a hundred feet. "Boston respects bustle; and we have the largest railroad terminal in the world, and fourscore more trains arriving and departing daily from all our stations, than even Chicago, which claims to be the greatest railroad centre in the world. "Boston respects money, and Boston, sir, carries the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in its trousers pocket. "Boston respects iron and steel as contemporary documents; and the reason why our Institute of Technology arranged for entrance examinations in London was that Englishmen who wanted to send their sons here said London had none so good. "One of the last visiting Englishmen wrote home to praise our park system and our public library as incompatible. I think he was right. The Boston Public Library is without a peer among public libraries and upon its front is graved the proudest fact: 'Built by the People.'" "Had the visitor pushed an hour westward he would have found just finished the greatest reservoir ever created by a metropolis for the water supply of its people, and had he called at evening on the chief commissioners he would probably have found him reading history. "The great body of advanced schools of which Harvard is the centre—Boston University, the Institute of Technology, Tufts College, and the rest—make Boston the greatest seat of higher education in America. Our musical pre-eminence is. I believe, conceded, and the superior popularity of Sousa to Muck in Boston indicates plainly enough our vitality. "It was the great English jurist, Dicey, who pronounced the Harvard Law School stronger than any in England—the most wonderful thing I saw in America—and the eminent English physician, Sir Thomas Barlow, present at the recent dedication of the new buildings of the Harvard Medical School, who declared that he and his colleagues had never dreamed of such a vision of beauty and of adaptation to the needs for which such buildings are erected. "We should blush to say such things ourselves—but we are greaterful."—New York Sun. Kansas Adds to the Language. Kansas has again made a valuable contribution—this time to the wealth of the language, or, more properly speaking, to the language's wealth of slang. It passing be it observed that rich, ripe, expressive slang, untainted by any tinge of vulgarity, has a sure place in spoken English. A Kansas legislator, speaking on a lobby favored measure which he opposed, warned his fellow lawmakers that there was "a bug under the chip." "A bug under the chip"—does it not seem destined to a distinguished place in language? Short, terse, expressive, new—its meaning cannot be doubted. Why, one almost see the sly, slick, scheming, insidious bug working out his devious designs, protected, yea even fostered, by the broad, white, apparently useful and much to be desired chip. Legislators, be cautious. Public, be watchful and inquiring. Look for the "bug under the chip."—St. Louis Republic. Not So Bad as She Thought. A very tall young man and his companion were standing at the curb on Van Ness avenue. "Nothin' doin', Duncan, on those labelled 'Turk and Market.' I don't want to figure on any more corners until we get home to Berkeley." "All right, Doc; we'll lay for a through car." Presently two belated Turk street cars came in sight over the curve some distance up the street, and at the same moment one of a pair of young women who had approached near the men slipped slightly on the muddy pavement. "Ah, ha! Two Ferries!" I choose the one that isn't loaded, "trumphantly exclaimed the-tall man. "Sir! You forget yourself!" hissed the woman who had slipped, and her glance would have converted Strawberry Creek into an ice-skating rink for the rest of the winter.—San Francisco Chronicle. At the University of Michigan last year 2467 young men and women of Michigan were given educational training by the state. HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE HOME Testing Eggs for Freshness. Dissolve two ounces of salt in a pint of water and then place the egg to be tested in this liquid. A new laid egg will at once sink to the bottom—an egg three days old will remain suspended about midway and an egg that is five days old or more, will float on the top of the solution. The vacuum in the shell is the explanation of the varying actions of the egg. The larger it becomes owing to the evaporation of the contents through the shell, the more easily the egg floats.—Joseph C. H. Girst, In The Epitomist. Carrots Instead of Eggs. It is not generally known that boiled carrots, when properly prepared form an excellent substitute for eggs in puddings. They must, for this purpose, be boiled and mashed, and passed through a coarse cloth or fine sieve strainer. The pulp is then introduced among the other ingredients of the pudding to the total omission of eggs. A pudding made up in this way is much lighter than where eggs are used, and is much more palatable. On the principle of economy, this is worthy of the prudent housewife's attention.-G. E. E., in the Indiana Farmer. Useful Screens Why are the useful and ornamental qualities of a screen so often forgotten by the woman who attempts to make a cosey looking room? Given a prettily designed art screen there is no reason why an ugly corner should not be hidden at once by using the screen as a tall background for a pedestal or palm, or even a standing lamp. Let the colors in the screen harmonize sufficiently with the room not to make a discordant note, but let it have a sufficiently distinctive note to make a decided addition to the department. As for the bedroom, the advantages of a screen are endless. To keep a draft from the bed at night, to shield the drowsy by day and 40 add to the furnishings of the room itself—surely it is more than worth the money it costs. If the purchaser cannot find one with covering to correspond to what she wants, she can cover it herself at a minimum expenditure for cretonne or muslin. The burlap screens or the mission order are always effective, particularly for the boy or girl's den, when they have college panels inserted at the top. Recipes Cold Slaw.—Take nice, solid, sweet cabbage, and chop to the desired size. Salt it. Take two cups of good, rich, sour cream to one cup of good vinegar; mix well together and sweeten to taste. Pour this over the cabbage and have enough to cover it well. Hot Slaw.—One quart of nice, white cabbage, chopped fine. Pepper and salt it and place in a dish. Then make the following dressing: Place three tablespoons of butter in a stewpan; add one egg well beaten, and one cup of vinegar. When this boils up once pour over the cabbage. Peach Pie.—This pie is good served either hot or cold. Peel the peaches, slice them and put them into a pan. Crack the stones and put in the kernels, carefully peeled, using for every pound of peaches four ounces of granulated sugar and a cupful of water Let this soak slowly. Mash the peaches in a.colander, line some buttergirl pie tins with pie paste and put in the mixture and bake. Cream of Tomato Soup.—Cook some strained tomato until thick and reduced to less than a cupful, seasoning palatably with salt, pepper and parsley. Scald a quart of milk and thicken it as directed for potato soup and season to taste. When ready to serve take both milk and tomato from the fire. Add to the latter a pinch of baking soda and stir it slowly into the milk. Serve at once. If reheated it will curdle. Delicious Cakes.—To serve at 5 o'clock teas are made from one-quarter pound grated sweet chocolate, one-quarter pound sugar, three-eighths pound figur, three eggs, and one-quarter pound almonds. Have the almonds blanched and cut lengthwise. Mix together, adding the beaten egg last, and knead well, dusting with a little flour to prevent sticking, roll out not too thin. Cut with fancy cutters, bake on sheets rubbed over with the best of salad oil, in a moderate oven. Macaroni and Cheese.—In a saucepan have fully three quarts of boiling salted water. Into this drop a half package of macaroni broken in two-inch pieces; cover until at a fast boil, then partly uncover and keep boiling hard until tender. Drain in a colander. On a hot platter put alternate layers of the macaroni and grated cheese, sprinkling each layer with melted butter. Turn through with two forks and serve at once. This may be changed by substituting a nice meat sauce or a strained tomato sauce for the butter. PEARLS OF-THOUGHT. Whiskey is a good thing in its place, but its place is Hell. I hate theology and botany; I love religion and flowers. The only title I want is D. D.—if it means "Devil Driver." Many a fellow is praying for rain with his tub the wrong side up. God shows what He thinks of riches by the kind of people He gives them to. Repentance is the first conscious movement of the soul from sin toward God. Anything that makes my neighbor's wife's heart bleed, I am going to fight. A man is not a sinner because he is an infidel; he is an infidel because he is a sinner. He has either a mighty long head or a mighty short creed who believes only what he understands. The Christian who will do things in New York that he would not do at home is a very poor Christian. You don't believe what you don't understand? Do you understand why some cows have horns, and some are muley? Until twenty-five years of age, I was the biggest fool you ever looked at; only when you looked in the mirror yourself. Thank God, this world has never seen the time when it did not take its hat off and make a decent bow to a good woman. They will put you in jail for stealing a man's money, but you can be an average church member and steal a man's character. The capacity of a woman for making everybody about her uncomfortable cannot be calculated by any known process of arithmetic. The roar of commerce, the click of the telegraph and the whistle of the engine have well-nigh drowned out the voice of God. I have known women too poor to own a pair of shoes, but I never knew doubt I tell him he is about to go on one too poor to own a looking-glass. If you tell me what you love and what you hate, I will tell you your character.—Compiled from Sam Jones' Sermons by the Christian Advocate. I've seen a man and a dog go into a saloon and in an hour the man would get beastly drunk and stagger out like a hog, while the dog-would come out and walk away like a gentleman. YEARS AT LAW FOR A TOY. Laws of Pennsylvania Changed So Claimant Could Replace Property. Eight years of legal warfare for possession of a carved toy bureau was finally brought to a conclusion in Common Pleas Court recently, writes the Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Sun. Not the least of the many unusual features connected with this contest is the fact that to regain possession of the bureau one of the parties to the suit had the laws of the State changed. The successful litigant is Mrs. Emma B. Gullien of Pasadena, Cal., a daughter of F. Carroll Brewster, the famous jurist of this State. It was a gift from her mother. The other litigant was Mrs. Charles S. Campbell of this city, into whose possession the bureau came in 1898 at an auction sale. She wanted to keep the bureau on account of the love her children have for it. When Mrs. Guilleu learned that the bureau had been sold by mistake she approached Mrs. Campbell, who said she would be willing to part with the toy but that her children were not. After several conferences, all of which failed, Mrs. Guilleu brought suit. Then her lawyer discovered that in the event of Mrs. Guilleu winning it would be possible for Mrs. Campbell to retain the bureau by paying, the value of the disputed article as fixed by the jury. To overcome this the lawyer drafted a measure and had it passed by the Legislature, modifying the replevin laws so that the property itself could be recovered. A writ of replevin was issued, the sheriff seized the bureau and held it until a few days ago, when as a result of the jury's action he turned it over to Mrs. Guilleu. Old Home of Peter the Great. Another link with London of the past is shortly to disappear. The house which stands at the bottom of Buckingham street, Strand, and close to the old water gate in the Embankment Gardens, has quite recently been sold, and will. In the near future, be demolished in order to provide a site for new offices. The house, in which may still be seen two ceilings hand painted and of exquisite beauty is said to be the one in which Peter the Great lived when he was engaged in his work at Deptford Dockyard. At that time, of course, the house stood on the river bank, and was easy of approach from the water—London News. Ceylon Pearl Profits. The Ceylon pearl fisheries was leased a year ago to a limited company for twenty years, at an annual rental of $103,333, the company covenanting to expend from $16,000 to $50,000 a year on improvements under government supervision and to pay the cost of governmental protection. Inso me recen tyear, presumably 1905, but the date has been edited out of the consular report, as usual, the fishery is said to have yielded a net profit of $801,882—a record breaker.—Hartford Courant. SCIENCE The largest insect known to entomol ogists is a Central American moth, called the erebus strix, which expands its wings from eleven inches to eighteen inches. The finger-print system has reached Southern Nigeria. In October it was started for the identification of criminals, and 152 impressions and photographs were taken. A Swedish inventor thinks that the price of alcohol made from peat will be less than one-half of the present price of alcohol, and lower than the lowest price of refined petroleum. The tests of the German government have shown great variations in the durability of typewritten documents, but with the best ribbons the work seems as lasting as that written by hand with the best-writing ink. While some German ribbons proved goods those of American manufacture showed a higher general average in quality. Artificial silk is made from wood pulp in Sweden. The imitation is excellent, but it is found that many dresses made from it have been discarded because the creases made when the wearers sit down do not come out. It is scarcely possible to distinguish the real from the artificial, but this defect has proved fatal for use as dress pieces. An English physician points out that doctors are blamed for the death of patients under chloroform, when the catastrophe is due entirely to the parents or friends, who ignore the strict orders not to give any food before the operation, and by administering milk, eggs, an orange or chocolates, "to fortify him for the operation," bring on fatal complications. Illness or sudden death from entering long closed holds of ships has been attributed to the presence of carbon monoxide or an excess of carbonic acid. Late experiments have convinced G. Giemsa that lack of oxygen is more often the cause, as many stored substances absorb this gas rapidly, while air containing less than 15 percent must soon prove fatal. He concludes further that such processes as the drying of floor varnish may absorb oxygen to an unsafe extent in closed rooms. ALUMINUM'S HISTORY. First Practical Use in This Country Was on Washington Monument. The history of aluminum, now in general use in the form of kitchen utensils and other everyday appliances, is known to few people. William E. Curtis, writing in "The Chicago Record-Herdal," says that the first practical use ever made of the metal was in fitting a can on the peak of the Washington monument in 1881. Although aluminum was discovered in 1827 by Professor Wohler of Göttingen University, Germany, at that time it was practically an unknown metal, the cost and difficulty of it production having prevented its development until the general use of electricity made it easy and economical. The cap on the top of the monument is a square pyramid in shape, weighing one hundred ounces, and is 8.9 inches in height, and 5.6 inches in width at the base. General George W. Davis, now on the retired list and residing in Washington, was in immediate charge of the completion of the monument under General Casey, and has the distinction of being the first man to handle aluminum in a practical way. Until that time it had been used only for toys, for "freak" purposes, and small samples had been utilized in making models for the patent office. In 1905, however, the production of aluminum was 11,347,000 pounds, valued at $2,246,300; in 1901 the production was $8,600,000 pounds, valued at $2,447,000. The total for 1906 will be much larger. The development of the industry is rapid. The Pittsburgh Production company, which now holds a monopoly of the manufacture of aluminum, has recently changed its name to the Aluminum Company of America, and is controlled by the Mellus of Pittsburg, who operate pipe lines for oil to New York and Philadelphia. A Yard End Proposal. A romantic story is told concerning Lord Kelvin's marriage. When the famous scientist was on his schooner yacht Lalla Rookh in West Indian waters, he got up a system of simplifying the method of signals at sea. He asked Miss Crum, whom he greatly admired, and who was the daughter of his host, if she understood his code. She said she did. "If I sent you a signal," he asked, "from my yacht, do you think you could read it and could answer?" "Well, I would try," she responded. The signal was sent, and she did succeed in making it out and transmitting the reply. The question was, "Will you marry me?" and the answer was "Yes."—"Fit-Bits." Telephone in War The telephone is destined to take a great part in the wars of the future, and a new system of rapid laying is doubling its utility.

TILLMAN is now trying to make Booken Washington a white man. He says that Mr Washington is the only colored man out of ten millions of them that has amounted to anything and that is because he is half white. It is amusing, then at times disgusting to note the idiocritical way which some of our white friends treat the color question in this section. It is known that the race feeling in Atlanta is at high tension, yet when the question arose at the Grady Hospital for the securing of colored nurses for colored patients the white nurses protested ONE million for the education of the Colored children of the South is the amount a Philadelphia lady has donated. Principal Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee and President II. B. Frissell of Hampton are the directors of the fund which will be used mainly in the rural districts. These schools for our people are but poorly supported by the various States. THE past several weeks have demonstrated especially the great interest that the white citizens are taking in purchasing of property. The purchases are mainly among the wage earning class. This is a lesson for our people and they should profit by it, by also purchasing lots in desirable localities while they can be purchased at a reasonable price. This is intended especially for our young men, and too, those with a family. SOMETHING unusual is liable to happen because Judge Norwood has been lenient with two colored men accused of crime. Both of them were sentenced, but same was suspended during good behavior. One of them was charged with stealing and the other with stabbing. If the judge would be as lenient with the small boys who go before him charged with petty crimes, there would be less of them on the chaingang, and there would be fewer hardened criminals in the county. Row in White Churches. Philadelphia furnished two record breaking sensations the Sunday succeeding Easter, and rough and tumble mix-ups in high church circles was the sum and substance of it all. To the outside world the occasion was a startling surprise, because it took place in the city of Brotherly Love, and among high-class white folks, and not ordinary Negroes. It was a monstrous sin and a shame, because it occurred on the Holy Sabbath and in sanctuaries during the progress of worship. The Union Presbyterian Church, 66th Street and Woodland Avenue, was the scene of one static encounter following a double collection by rival church factions. Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, Marlborough Street, above Girafard Avenue, was the scene of the other. In the latter scrimmage women and children screamed, and church officers and vesty boys pommel each other. Strange to say both of these disgraceful altercations had the collections as their storm center. There is but one general moral to be deduced from the satanic episode referred to. That deduction is the total depravity of human nature without regard to race, color or condition. Had the principals been colored, doubtless the affair would have been painted more so by the press and reporters generally. Our only comment is that the devil is the same in human nature without regard to color and that white people are no worse nor no better than colored under similar circumstances. —Christian Recorder. White Church The latest noted ebulition of race prejudice comes from Dr. Van DeWalter, of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in New York, says the Colored American Magazine. This very consecrated gentleman wishes that a colored Episcopal Church will soon be established in his vicinity, that it may receive into its folds the present colored parishioners of his own church, whom, he alleged, he 'doesn't want.' He states that on one occasion, one or more of these colored parishioners of his got into pews rented by white members, and when told to take other seats forthwith left the building in an indignant manner. This action on the part of the colored parishioners cannot be sanctioned as strictly according to the best rules of politeness and decorum, but as one swallow does not make a summer, so no one action of this kind should condemn all the other parishioners against whom, there is no charge; and it looks: to a man up a tree, that this is only the occasion for the good rector's wrath, while the cause really lies deeper and is based on race prejudice, which certainly is a sin which if felt in ternally should never be expressed externally by one who claims to follow the Lowly One of Nazareth. What sort of brotherly love has a man (not to say a rector) of this kind got any way? What is his idea of Christ's teaching that we are to go into all the world and preach His gospel to all men? Does he think Christ meant only white men when He said this, or did he consider Christ was running, his missionary propaganda with a 'Jim Crow' attachment? The colored parishioners will do well to "get from under" the religious teaching of such a man as Dr. Van de Water forthwith. He shows that his fundamentals are sadly out of gear. During slavery, so long as the Negro was a species of the white man's property, he was good enough not only to worship with him, but even to commune with him; why now is this change since freedom—does it show that Dr. Van DeWater's kind can only see the good Negro in the slave Negro? Such religion is all rot and deserves no place or recognition by true followers of Christ. Distinguished Negroes Junius C.

For catalogue, address: The Evolution of — Household Remedies. * The modern patent medicine -bust- ness is the natural outgrowth of tho ‘old-time houschold remedies. Ta the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME- MADE MEDICINES. Herbs teas, bit- ters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, com- pounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the fam- My doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was alocs and quassia, dis- solved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonle, made of whiskey, hops and Bitter barks. A score or more of pop- lar, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulue for which were passed ulong from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. ‘The pateat medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this, whole- some, old-time custom. In the begin- ming some enterprising doctor,” im: pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would cake it up, improye it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, ad- yertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would be- come used over a large area. TAT- TERLY THE NOUSEMOLDREMEDY. BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-titne remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be- fore it way offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he pre- scribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last fhe established a manufac- tory and furnished it to the general rug trade. Peruna ix useful in a great many <Umatic ailments, such as coughs, ‘colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca- tarrhal disecises generally. THOU- SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THF USE OF PERUNA and its value in thetreatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and bellove in Dr. Hartman's jndg- ment, and to rely on his remedy, Pe- iia: B yay : an | Mica Axle Grease Teogthess the life of the s wegon—saves horse : power, tims and tem per.

Bull fighting in Mexico has had Its first deathS that Is, the first death of 2 human befng.. The superstitious will nod sagely when they learn that the fatal fight occurred on the 13th of January, According to Modern Mexico,It was a great day. Antonio Montes, a fav- crite matador, had had trouble get ting one bull, a native Mexican pro- duct, into a good ‘position for the final’ thrust, When he did so, after much maneouvring, he himself, was backed up against the woodea fence | which surrounds the ring. He alle the bull “beautifully,” but in ‘the animal's dying rage the bull caught and threw {he matador threa tines, inflicting the fatal Injuries. ‘After preparing the body for ship- ment back to Spain, where all good Dull fighters come from and where | they ate always buried, it was placed In the chapel of the Spanlsi ceme- tery in this city where, through the earelessness of the guard, the candlo was allowed to fall over and set firs }to the draperies, buming down the chapel and cremating the body. | Aside from the natural Jaterest ip such an event and the dramatic feat- Pures of the fight, death and cyema- ‘tion, it was orfe of the most interest- ‘ing sights to see the crowd of Mexi- ‘cans of all classes, from the highest to the lowest, which kung about tho house where the dying favorite lay.

However, some little agitation, backed by well hnown peo- ple, has been begun lvokjng toward a permanent closing of the bull rings. ‘What the result of this talk and the petitions will be cannot be forecist, Dut the fact that this was tried once before and has a signal failure, and also that a, new steel ring has just been bull: and will be teady for oc- ‘cupaney next yearpoint to a probable failure of the agitation.

Indiat » Milk Kept Seven Weexs. | Rarmer. s A new process for keeping milk a fong time is announced by German scientists., The milk is first .reated with peroxide of hydrogen, which kills the germs, but imparts a pecul- jar taste to the milk. Then to each quart of milk is added a few drops of the- ferment obtained from beef liver from which the Qeet has been ex- pressed. This substance, it is claimed, destroys the unpleasant taste given to the milk by the per- oxide of hydrogen. At first thought this new plan does not seem to be adopted on a large scale, and the “discoverers admit that it increases the cost of the mille four or five cents per quart, so that it would not be pragtical to use except where fresh milk could not be obtained regularly It is claimed that the milk so treated was successCully kept for seven weeks.—Boston Cultivator. Concrete in Farm Construction. Among the uses for concrete enu- merated are foundations for houses, Varns and vindmills, sldewalks, fence posts, water troughs, cisterns, tanks, and cesspools, floors for house and stable, stairs, well curbs,’ stalls, hez pens, chicken houses, corneribs, ice “houses, incubator cellars, mushroom cellars, hotbed frames, bridge abut- ments, chimneys, ventilators and itching posts. ‘In estimating on cost of concrete sufficient broken stone should be provided to fill the whole Yolume under estimate, since the 'ce- ment and sand merely fill the voids in the broken stone. By a eMlcula- tion of the cost of concrete posts it 4s found that posts can be made for fourteen cents “each. ‘This low cost would be possible only when large numbers of posts are made.—The Cultivator. aig a == te Ravine Fortitigere, a Forebanded farmers and market gardeners have already bought thelr Year's supply of' fertilizers. Any who khave not done so should buy at once. ‘As soon as the plans for the year’s ‘work are fairly fn hand, so that one can estimate the amount of fertilizer required, the order should be placed, There are a good many advantages in buying early. These advantages are especially marked when one buys raw chemicals and mixes his own fertilizers. By the way, this plan of buying and mixing at home fs now well established in the best farm and garden practice of tlie country. Any man who pretends to keep his eyes open and to know how to manage agricultural affairs in the modern way {s certainly able to do his own mixing; and the advantages of home mixing of raw ‘materials,are very great. The man who has not yet adopted this practice had better looic it up at once.—Country Gentleman. Nursery Stock. ~ Many careful farmers ~ané frult growers have adopted the plan of ordering all nursery stock early in the fall. Many of them Insist on a fall delivery of stock, even when the trees are not to be planted out until spring. The majority of small plant- ers undoubtedly still prefer to set trees in the spring. This seems to be a moré natural time of the year, While there are some disadvantages in spring planting, it is In mauy ways conventent, and on the whole it is safe. Nearly all sma!l planters therefore are now looking forward and planning for trees which are to be set this coming April. If those trees have not already been ordered, it is a part of wisdom to make the order at once. This gives the opyor- tunity to sey once more that nursery trees should always be bought of nurserynien, never of frult-tree agents Reliable nurserymen who grow trees are willing to sell them at a reasonable price, and what is more, they are always willing to be‘held responsible for their business trans- actions. On the part of the farmer and gardener, it is wise to buy nursery stock lberally, always get- ting it from growers. It Is wise also” to select nursery stock of the better grades, and to order early.—Country Gentleman. x Wsting Fertility. In a recent lecture on the wastes of farm fertility, Professor Holden, in a very terse and striking way, showed the importance of feeding a3 much of the farm products as possible to live stock.’ He bas made 4 careful study ef the matter py analysis, hnd here is what he said: . Every time a farmer sells a ton of wheat, he sélls $11.62 Insfertjlity; in a ton of clover hay he sells $5.62 in fertility; in a, ton of alfalfa hay he nels $8.63 of. ferJley3;4n a ton of eats he sells $7.81 in fertility, and in a ton of corn he sells $6.47 in fertil- ity. If those products be fed on the farm under proper ¢gnditions, and the resulting manure be returned to the soil, there is a very slight loss af fertility, for the following finished Products maz be sold instead: In selling a ton of finished beés on the hoof, the farmer selis but $5.27 in fertility; in a ton of live hogs he sells but o%.7v in fertility; in a ton ‘of milk he sells but $1.48 in fertility; ‘in a ton of cheese he sells but sixty- nine cents in fertility, and in a ton ‘of butter he sells twenty-seven cents in fertility. The best poliéy for the family to adopt is that system of corn and crop rotation which will embrace not only the growiug,of grain. but the breeding and feeding of stock, either for sale in the form of beet or pork, or for the production whether for milk, cheese or butter. ... Indiana Harmer. . The Newid Sb aed aes, The increasing demand for good draft horses has awakened fresh in- terest among breeders who have good dams. The Drovers’ Journal in re- ferring to the increasing demands, in the Chicago markets says a survey of the horse condition’ present an in- \viting fidld for intelligent breeders. Demand for all classes of horses for industrial and commercial use was never so broad or prices so remu- nerative. The fact that farmers have been slow to grasp the situation finds the supply hardly adequate to meet the increasing demand. The out- look justifies continued high prices unti] the surplus assumes propor- tlons to resume exportation of horses in large volume again. ‘The supply can only be searet by enlarging breeding operations, which, under the most favorable regime, will re- quire half a decade to produce a reasonably large surplus. The fact that the supply of horses is ‘short should not lead to haphazard breed- ing. Profits in the horse industry will depend on the quality of the horses produced. The best mares should Ve selected for the harem and the choicest stallions of all breeds of horses patronized. The stream can- not rise abové the fountain and the progeny of sire and dam will inherit the characteristics of their ancestors. ‘The opportunity for large profits ia the horse industry, was never more promising to the careful breeder that will produce godd commetcial offer- ings of all classes. 1 -“ How to Select Poultry. In selecting poultry, the age of the bird is the most important question. In selecting a turkey, remember that a young bird has smooth, shiny black legs, while those of an old bird are rough and reddish. If the dird has been freshly killed, the eyes are full and bright and the feet moist. The combs and legs of a chicien are smooth-in a young fowl and rough in an old ove. ~ ‘When selecting geese, see that the bills and feet are yellow and have few hairs on them. If freshly killed the feet should be pliable, for after they have been killed some time they are dry and smooth. Ducks are chosen by their feet, which should be supple. Wild ducks have reddish feet, while those of tae tame ducks are yellow. A freyh duck should have a plump, hard breast. ‘Tame pigeons are larger than wiid ones and the feet show the ago of the bird. They are supple if the bird is young, and stiff if it is old. Pigeons are only good to eat when they are fresh. When they have been kept too loag they become flab- by and-discolored about the under part.—Florlda Agriculturist, a. . ‘Farm Notes. ‘Treat a cow well and she will do well by you. & Milking with wet hands should be avoided; it is not a clean practice. To make at, least 10 clear out of your cow, You must have at least $45 profit. a Milk that fs cooled as soon as drawn from, the cow will keep much longer. » Fresh cream should not be added to older cream until atter it Is cooled to fifty degrees. - Give a little fine bone meal in the soft food of chicks that are subject ‘to weakness in the lez. | It 4s ‘hot a good plan to feed grown ‘up fowls too much soft food; ft tends ‘to make them dyspeptic. | With hens itts much better to keep ‘the appetite sharp, compelling them ‘to be active and search for food | A dust bath almost every day fs necessary to the health and happl- ‘ness of a hen, and she should have it. "a chick that fs continually chitied ‘seldom amounts to much, because vi- tality 18 used up to resist and over- come abuse. ‘The greater the variety of food given to poultry the better, but it should be clean, wholesome, and such as they relish. . With the.early setting hens at least food should be placed within their easy reach so that they need not be long in quest of it. 7 ‘There are two ways of feeding a variety. One.is to feed several kinds of food at one time? the other fs to, feed one kind a while, then another and another. These two methods combined we believe to be the best plan. sl TO MAKE WAR MORE HORRIBLE. Lots of Inventors at Work on Great and Grewsome Devices; This) government expends a small sum each year for testing new devices of a possible military yalue, The Board of Ordnance and Fortification is supposed to have the duty of en- couraging inventors and assisting in the development of their inventions. Last year only $5000 was expended vy the Board, which, with its accumu- Jated allotments of previous yéars, has now on hand more than $100,000, Com- paratively few experiments are made, says Harper's Weekly and the vast number of suggestions are apparently shelved without much more attention than polite acknowledgment to the au- thors. Nearly all the devices submitted are intended to Increase the terrors of war by adding to the efficacy of the means of fighting. Perhaps an exception should be madé In favor of an ear pro- tector, the invention of a New York man, adapted for use by those who are on duty in the turrets of battleships and those who are stationed ut the coast fortifications. Ordinarily the blast of a big gun has an effect upon the drum of the ear; It 4s at best unpleasant, and sometimes it proves disasirous, as in the instan- ces of men who have lost their hear- ing. The ear protector is a little ccl- lulold bulb so plerced that it may be placed in the ear and protect it from the noise and shock while not Interfer- ing with the hearing, an advantage, of course, over the crude method of stuf- fing the ears with cotton so that noth- ing can be heard and when orders can only be appreciated by pantomime. Some of the other inventions which have been favorably received. may be regarded as having a tendency to en- courage peace since they would intro- duce into warfare factors of devasta- tion which would. by their dfabolical "results promote international disarma- ment. Of this class must be consid- ‘ered those bomb dropping devices, which, If successful, would destroy whole armies; thé inflammable pro- Jectile capable of burning up a cathp; the nitroglycerine missile; a scheme for pouring burning sulphur into trenches, and kindred methods of wholesale obliteration.

I am going to move. I have cut out the ailvertisements of a lot of people who keep boarders, but I don’t feel Ike fuspecting all those places. I would like the boy to go first and report on price, cleanliness and general appearance. Then I can sift owt the few really desirable places and visit them without walk ing myself to death.” “Well!” exclaimed the superinten- dent. “I thought messengers had been ysed for every purpose under the sun, but this thing of turning one in- to a boarding house inspector Is a new wrinkle, However, notwithstanding his lack of experience, I have faith in the boy.
