FARMS UNDERPRODUCE American Farms Not Producing Half What They Should. TO ELIMINATE MIDDLEMEN Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, B. F. Yoakum and Commissioner Watson of South Carolina Address Farmers Meeting. St. Louis, Mo.—That the farms of the United States are not producing half what they should because of a lack of practical education among the farmers, was the explanation of the high cost of living problem offered by Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, in an address at the Farmers' Union rally. "I believe the solution of the cost of living problem lies in good hands," Mr. Wilson said. "The farmers are awake, and no country is in danger when this is the case. I have investigated the charges that the farmers have combined to put up prices and rob the community and have found that they are not true. "Of the fourteen states of the Mississippi valley, not one is producing half the crops it should, because the farmers have not been taught scientific farming. We can, and will, ultimately, double every crop we are growing, and at the same time care for a population of 200,000,000 people. When we've done that, the agriculturalists of that day will show how to double the crops again. "The farmer must be educated. We need a country-wide university. We must keep our young farmers on the farm. Immigrants who have lived on farms should be placed on farms when they come to this country. We need agricultural teachers." E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture, Columbia, S. C., talked on "The Farmer and His Relation to the Economics of the Nation." Declaring that every business in its last analysis is dependent upon the man who tills the soil, Commissioner Watson sought to show that of all men the farmer is most neglected by the legislature of state and nation. For decades, he said, the members of congress have scarcely given the farmer a passing thought save at election time. "The 'ignorance' or 'inactivity' or 'lack of selfassertiveness' of the man back in the weeds upon the farm has been presumed upon and at election time the wool has been pulled over his eyes," he said. After detailing the present conditions under which all farm products are marketed and declaring that always the farmer is at the mercy of the brokers and the middle men and the big corporations, Mr. Watson predicted a revolution in these conditions at no distant date. He said the farmer is waking up and that the middleman and speculator are to be greatly eliminated in the handling of farm products of all kinds. Especially in the marketing of the south's great cotton crop revolutionary changes must and will be inaugurated. There is no commodity in the world, he said, that is sent to the markets of the world with the degree of ignorance surrounding it and with the amount of middlemen's toll ripped from it as is cotton. "And the whole thing could be so easily cured by a little legal interference, the substitution of honesty of purpose for the present 'system.'" Mr. Watson referred to the cotton speculators as "economic parasites" who bleed the farmer by infliquent manipulation of prices. He charged that the federal government did much to aid the speculator and mill men, but naught is being done to enlighten the producer. Excessive profit taking by middlemen was the reason assigned for high prices of foodstuffs by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Frisco system. He declared that the heavy reductions in freight rates of the past few years had been absorbed by the dealers and not shared in by the farmers or consumers. Better marketing method were advanced as a means by which farmers would get better prices for the food they raise and at the same time lower figures would be given to those who buy the stuff for use in the kitchen. Tails railroad man described the demagogic politician as a distributing and expensive middle agent and urged that he be cut out "The cotton growers are not organized and they are losing money thereby. The railroad takes $4.50 for hauling a bale of cotton from gin to spinner, but the speculator must have $5.50 per bale. The time will come when states will construct warehouses to aid farmers in marketing their cotton. MARK TWAIN'S WILL. Humorist Left Estate to-His Daughter—Value Not Stated. Redding, Conn—The will of Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) was filed for probate here and leaves the entire estate to the surviving daughter, Claria Langhorne Clemens, wife of Ossip Gabrielflowsch. The amount of the estate is not given. The home is valued at $30,000, and there is about $150,000 on deposit in banks. No estimate has been made of the literary assets. The will says that his daughter, Clara and his biographer, Mr. Paine, know his desires as to his literary assets, and directs that the trustees be guided by them in their disposal. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. RAILROADS INCREASE RATES. New York City.—A rate readjustment which will affect the railroads between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic seaboard is unden preparation, it was learned from the authoritative sources. The railroads comprise the water and rail, as well as the standard differential lines and the adjustment will mean increases in revenue in both freight and passenger traffic. Increased operating expenses because of increased wages, together with higher cost of materials, is given as the reason for the adjustment. A statement issued says there is small possibility of putting these changes into effect before the passage of the amendment to the leapburn act in congress. HEROES REWARDED. Thirty-two Carnegie Awards for Deeds of Heroism. Pittsburg, Pa.-Thirty-two awards of medals for acts of heroism were made by the, Carnegie Hero Fund commission at its spring meeting. Seven sliver and twenty-five bronze medals were ordered struck for the fortunate ones, which monthly pensions aggregating $196, death benefits of $44, 880 and special awards totaling $13-100 were made. The cash awards were to liquidate mortgages and other indebtedness and for educational purposes. In thirteen instances the heroes met death either in the act or as a result of injuries received. Five rescues were made from injuries or death by trains, two from fire, one from electrocution, fourteen from drowning, four from suffocation in wells and tanks, five in a mine cave-in and one from a runaway. The awards were made, among others, to the following: John Adlance, Jr., Galveston, Texas; George E. Hemphill, Anna, Texas; Harley Tomlinson, Norwood, N. C.; (died); Frank Forrest, Norwood, N. C.; Wylie Looney, Duncansville, Texas; (died); A. Albert Richards, Denton, Texas (died). RAILROAD BILL DEFEATED. Washington, D. C.-President Taft's railroad bill will be emasculated. At the close of a protracted conference of leading "regular" republican senators, it was apparent that the revolt of the "senate insurgents" had been virtually successful and that the sections of the bill relating to traffic agreements and mergers, which Senator Cummins and other insurgents have been fighting to amend, will be abandoned. Practically nothing distinctive of the original bill will remain save the sections providing for the creation of a court of commerce. MAY EXPEL TAFT. President May Be Ousted by the Steam Shovelers. Cleveland, Ohio. — A demand for President Taft's expulsion from the Steam Shovelers' Union for attending a boycotted ball game was filed at the headquarters of the organization in Cincinnati. The charges will be preferred by the Cleveland Trades Union, which inaugurated the boycott on account of alleged employment of non-union labor in building the Cleveland ball park. Changed Husbands Quickly. Columbus, Ga.—Immediately after Susie R. Haralson was granted a divorce from her husband, Samuel Haralson, in Muscogee county superior court, she was married in the same court room to Joseph A. Debrabant, was in waiting, license in hand. Judge S. P. Gilbert, who signed the divorce decree, performed the marriage ceremony upon request. Battleship Maine to Be Removed. Washington, D. C.—After 12 years the ill-fated battleship Maine is to be removed from the Havana harbor and the bodies which went down with the vessel will be interred in the National Cemetery at Arlington. A bill providing for such removal and burial was passed by the house and senate. Uniform Divorce Bill. Albany, N. Y. — The assembly passed without dissent the "uniform divorce" bill. It provides-for a much broader recognition of divorces granted by other states and for substitute service in divorce actions. Newsv Paragraphs. Professor J. Lawrheche Laughlin on the University of Chicago rejects the quite prevalent view, affirmed by President Taft and accepted by Bryan as a vindication of the free silver theory, that the increase of $ _{f} $ prices of necessary commodities is connected with the increase in the available supply of the world's gold. Professor Adams, who has charge of making the observations of the comet from Mount Wilson, reported that the spectrum showed the head of the comet to be surrounded by cyanogen and gas and the tail to be composed of hydrocarbon gas. In some parts one gas prevails, while in other parts the other is predominant. Preparations are being made for observations on May 18, when the comet will cross the sun and the earth will pass through the comet's tail. London, is making much of Commander Robert E. Peary, a great crowd in the streets adjacent to the home of the Royal society, where he was entertained at luncheon, awaited the arrival of the American explorer and gave him a hearty reception. SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1910. TOBACCO DISCUSSED FOR FARM SANATORIUMS Washington, D. C.—Heart specialists from throughout the country, who are attending the Congress of American Surgeons and Physicians gathered to discuss whether the prolonged and excessive use of tobacco meant "sudden death." At the close of a lengthy debate they were far from reaching an agreement as to what was the real effect of the use of tobacco on the heart. Dr. H. L. Elsner of Syracuse, N. Y., introduced the subject by discussing the influence of tobacco on hypertension in the circulatory system. Smoking in moderate amount by the grown persons might not be injurious, he said, but he expressed a belief that smoking was injurious to those who had hereditary heart afflictions. Dr. Judson Daland of Philadelphia told of a family of four whose parents had died of causes other than angina pectoris. Three of the brothers, cigar manufacturers, who were compelled to smoke more than twenty cigars a day, developed angina pectoris, while a sister at the age of 52 never had suffered from the disease. So far, the anti-tobacco men have had the floor. Dr. R. G. Curtin of Philadelphia rost to stem the tide. He told of sixty angina pectoris in which seven of them were female subjects. "Women commonly do not use tobacco," he said, "although I hear recently they are taking, it up." Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker, surgeon of the public health and marine hospital service of Norfolk, Va., in a paper, presented a plan for the establishment of a farm sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis by every city, town and village in the United States. His idea included the setting aside of farm tracts to be operated by healthy laborers, the products being applied to/the support of patients and the expense for the care and treatment of patients to be defrayed by the representative municipalities or towns. TAFT ON CONSERVATION. President Addresses Farmers at Their St. Louis Convention. St. Louis, Mo.-Addressing a joint meeting of the Farmers' Union and the people of St. Louis, at the tae Coiseum, President Taft devoted himself to a technical discussion of conservation. He declared the term covered a wide range of subjects. "But as concerns congress at this time," he added, "conservation resolves itself into the necessity of passing at once the bill which will give to the executive unquestioned authority to withdraw lands for power sites and other purposes. With this power in the hands of the president of the United States we can sit comfortably by and discuss and devise the best means of disposing of the great public domain to the benefit of present and future generations." The president called out laughter and applause from the agriculturists by announcing that he was probably the only man in public life in the country who would admit that he had never had any farming experience. The president spoke of the great strides that are being made in the fight against consumption and cancer and took the position that the government might well furnish money to provide the means for combatting the disease and bring about the "mastery of the intellect over natural foes." "Any-waterway improvement which is found worthy," said the president, "should be put through as economically and as quietly as possible. But a waterway bill ought not to constitute a pork barrel, or be passed for the purpose of sending somebody back to congress." SENATE SEATS SOLD. Grave Charge Against Senators by Ex-Senator. Chicago, Ill.—"I believe that 50 per cent of the seats in the United States senate can be said to have been practically purchased." This statement was made here by former United States Senator William E. Mason in the course of an interview. Mr. Mason denied a report that he had said he heard at Springfield, before the election, that the senatorial toga would go to the highest bidder. SULTAN'S MONEY SAVED. Abdul Hamid's Deposits in Berlin Protected by the Courts. Berlin, Germany.—The provincial court frustrated the efforts of the Turkish government to secure the $3,000,000 deposited with the Imperial Bank of Germany by the then sultan, Abdul Hamid. The bank took the ground that the former sultan being practically a prisoner, was not in a position to give a voluntary order for the disposition of his money. This view was sustained by the court, which decided that Abdul Hamid had not requested payment of his own free will, but under compulsion of the Turkish government. The latter will carry the case to the supreme court ROOSEVELT BACKS TAFT. It is Said That The Ex-President Endorses the Present Administration. Washington, D. C.—In letters which Theodore Roosevelt is alleged, to have written President Taft, Senator Root and William Loeb, Jr., it is said by the Washington Post, the former president thoroughly endorses the Taft administration, favors Mr. Loeb to succeed, Governor Hughes of New York, and indicates that his decision to remain in private life is final and unalterable. The colonel will not even be a candidate to succeed Chaucey M. Depew, in the senate, and much less would he desire any other office. It is said also the former president will in no sense be a candidate for the presidency in 1912. On the contrary, his letters are said to intimate that it is his conviction that the reelection of President Taft is in the republican party's duty. While Colonel Roosevelt believes that a fight within the party, when it is confined to opinions of legislation, may be heathful, he does not think it threatens to disrupt the party at the polls. When Colonel Roosevelt speaks before the national conservation congress in St. Paul in September, it is said, he will declare himself again for the policies for which he has always stood, but will insist that the work be pressed forward without making conservation a plovt for political expedients. In a word, former President Roosevelt, before seeing Gifford Pinchot in Europe and since, has expressed himself as convinced that President Taft has been working hard and conscientiously to carry out the policies which were started during the Roosevelt administration, and has given to the Taft administration his whole approval. Pittsburg, Pa. — When President Taft was informed of the story published in Washington as to letters said to have been received by him, and was asked if he had received any such communication from Mr. Roosevelt, he shook his head. "No," he added. New York City—William Loeb, Jr., merely smiled when he was asked about the letters Theodore Roosevelt is said to have written to President Taft, Senator Root and almself. He is unwilling to say anything for publication. DEPLORES TAFT HISSING. Mrs. Shaw Says It Was Not Intended to Disparage President's Words. 'New Orleans, La—The Hissing of President Taft when he addressed two recent convention of the Woman's Suffragist Association in Washington was sounded in an effort to invoke silence and not in disparagement of the president's utterances, according to Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the association, who arrived in New Orleans to address a meeting of the Erl Club, a 'woman's organization, here. At the same time she has some things to say, decidedly uncomplimentary to President Taft's speech. "We deplore the hissing," said Dr. Shaw, "but think that what the president said was grossly ill-timed. The fact is, the president was not prepared to speak at all. He probably said what he would not have uttered had he made careful deliberation of his words. Mr. Taft does not know where he stands on the woman's suffrage question. In that he is like a whole lot more of men. "It surprises me to see that good men of the country as so shortsigited," Dr. Shaw continued. "It is not the bad men who have kept women from their rights; it is the real, true, good men who think they are doing right. They have too much of the sixteenth century idea of women. They forget that women brush up against the world and have to battle with problems just as men do." WESTON COMPLETES WALK. Aged Man Walked from Los Angeles to New York in 77 Days New York City.—Cutting his way through a living mass of 20,000 cheering people, his white locks bared to the breeze and his shuffling feet keeping time to the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner," Edward Peyson Weston brought to a triumphant end his ocean-to-ocean walk. He completed the trans-intinental journey of 3,483 miles in 77 walking days, a feat without parallel in the annals of pedestrianism. The grizzled athlete was welcomed to his home city by Mayor Gaynor, who presented him with a purse of $400, hurriedly raised by a handful of his admirers in the last hours of his spectacular walk. This and the admiration and applause of the thousands who have followed his tramp since the day of its inception at Los Angeles on February 1 last, is all the reward that comes—to the intrepid septuagenarian after his two months' and more of trudging through heat and cold across the continent. New York City—Duke Pompeo Litti of Lombardy and his duchess, who was Mrs. Jane Johnson Perry Scalfe of Charleston, S. C., have arrived in New York for their first visit to America since their marriage in 1838. Their visit is partly in connection with a philanthropic scheme for the colonization of Italians in Manatee county, Florida. $12,000,000 Pension Fund. New York City—The United States Steel Corporation announced that it had established a fund of $8,000,000 for pension purposes and would consolidate this fund with the $4,000,000 fund heretofore created by Andrew Carnegie. WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC Rockefeller Pledges Wealth to Kill Traffic in Girls. PROBE REVEALS HORRORS Hundreds of Men and Women Are Now Scouring the Country for Evidence Against the New York City.—The first glimpse of a very rich and very sincere Christian young man in horror of the underworld's most sordid institution—white slavery—will result in the expenditure of a fortune to wipe out the traffic, not only in America, but in the whole world. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the leader of the special grand jury which conducted the white slave investigation here, is so appalled and horror-stricken at the revelations here and the international ramifications of the system, that he is determined to wipe it out. He said he would spend any amount to do this, and he is backed in his determination by his father, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., the world's richest man. "I was stunned by the revelations of this gigantic system of dealing in girls," said Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., when prevailed upon to discuss his own attitude in the investigation which, up until now, has been conducted secretly in the principal cities of the United States and in Alaskn. Young Mr. Rockefeller was so appalled by the disclosures that he went to his father and explained that, in view of the revelations, he felt that he ought to devote his time and his money to the investigation. He expressed the hope to his father that the fight might be made international. He told his father some of the frightful stories which the grand jury had been told. John D. Rockefeller listered gravely to this recitation and then he told his son to go ahead. All this time the investigation was supposed to be sagging, but Mr. Rockefeller has applied a portion of his fortune to hire private detectives to look up the ramifying ends of the traffic in the northwest, the south and the middle west. Women were retained—college women and prominent socialist workers—so that no suspicion could be attached to their testimony. They were told not to seek the assistance of the police or detectives in the various cities visited. Their instructions were to work alone and all were amply supplied with money. They scattered, one going to Juneau, Alaska; others to Seattle, Washington, Denver, St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City, San Francisco, Portland, Spokane, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, Pittsburg, Chicago, Atlanta and elsewhere. These workers were not scattered into each town simultaneously.' Some of them visited several of the cities mentioned. Of the investigators, two of the women are from Smith and Radcliffe colleges, and several of the men are from Harvard and Yale Universities. District Attorney Waltman refused to show his hand, and refused to say what action the government would take, although he said the most sensational incidents were yet to come. The evidence of women in the far west was readily furnished investigators with the identity of the underlings of the New York branch of the white slave trust. It was reported that arrests in other cities are imminent. TUBERCULOSIS MEETING National Tuberculosis Association Favors Public Health Bureau. Washington, D. C.-Resolutions favoring the establishing of a public health department, similar to the present government departments; opposing the action of the Oklahoma state board of medical examiners excluding from practice in that state all physicians who have suffered at any time from tuberculosis, and also the Nebraska law which requires indigent tubercular patients to take the serum course of treatment, were adopted by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In a resolution adopted by the association it was declared that apparently only a small percentage of nonpulmonary tuberculosis cases, especially tuberculosis of the lymph nodes in children under five years old, is due to infection by tuberculc bacilli of bovine origin. This is in direct opposition to the views held by many scientists and doctors who have studied the disease and its causes. The resolution, however, was adopted without opposition. Pasteurization of milk, but under official supervision, was recommended in the resolution. New York City—Sentiment among rich men in the east who were friends of the late Samuel Clemens to furnish the bulk of the funds necessary to purchase the humorist's old home in Missouri and rehabilit it into a museum, will soon take tangible form. Among those who were admirer of Mark Twain and who will contribute to the fund are Henry H. Rogers, Jr., Andrew Carnegie and J. Pierpont Morgan. The idea is to purchase either the house at Florida, Mo., where Clemens was born, or at Hannibal, where he spent his boyhood. LATE NEWS NOTES. Former President Theodore Roosevelt has accepted—an invitation to make an address in Atlanta sometime in October. He will speak under the auspices of the Uncle Remus Memorial association. In a letter to the association from Paris Colonel Roosevelt says he will be accompanied here by Mrs. Roosevelt and daughter, Miss Ehel. The police force of Indianapolis has been ordered to enforce to the letter the new ordinance providing that no hat shall be tolerated with a pin protruding more than half an inch beyond the brim unless the end be protected. An act of incredible brutality is reported from the *Village of Hassen*, in Germany. A baker's wife, wishing to free herself from the incumbrance of her husband, who is somewhat weak in intellect, drenched him with petroleum, and with the assistance of one of the workmen, shut him up in one of the ovens, with the intention of burning him to death. The wretched man's despairing screams fortunately brought rescues to his help before the woman could complete her infamous scheme. A needle that Lillian Walther, a five-year-old girl of the Sandeval community at Taylor, Texas, swallowed two years ago, was recently extracted by surgeons from her spinal column. The needle gave the girl no pain until last week. She fell from the porch at her home. Later she complained of severe pains in her back and it was thought she had fractured her spinal column. Examination showed the needle sticking in her spine. Jerry D. Smith, a Southern Express messenger, was arrested in Jacksonville, Fla., charged with the theft or diamonds valued at $4,000, while in transit between New York and Jacksonville, and subsequently made a full confession, surrendering a greater part of the jewelry to the detectives making the arrest. An address in favor of the initiative and referendum by William J. Bryan, which was to have been made at Nebraska City, Neb., was postponed because the county commissioners of Otee county refuses to allow Mr. Bryan to speak on that subject in the court house. Two or three commissioners are democrats, but they disagree with Mr. Bryan on the referendum idea. Washington. Regardless of the verdict of the special committee of congress which is investigating the general land office and forestry service, the expectation of men in close touch with the administration is that Secretary Ballinger will retire from the cabinet soon after the inquiry is concluded. The court of claims rendered a decision, holding that a certain line of tax collections on legacies made as a result of legislation enacted to carry on the Spanish-American war should be refunded. The decision means the return to tax payers of about $5,000,000. The house passed a bill providing for appropriation of $2,500 for the erection of statues to General S. Daniel Stewart and James Screven at Midway church, in Liberty county, Georgia. The report of the bureau of labor upon the conditions at the Bethelhem steel works of South Bethelhem, Pa., submitted, to the senate says that 2,322 men worked twelve hours a day for several days a week, a large percentage of these laborers earning only 12 1-2 cents an hour. The rural delivery service and the star route department are to be consolidated and the combined service is to be known as the division of rural mails. The order for the change was signed by Postmaster General Hitchcock, and will take effect on July 1. The change is the result of a recent investigation which showed that the rural delivery system was costing about $28,000,000 more than the revenues derived from it. Plans were set on foot immediately to reorganize this service and place it on a more businesslike basis. It is believed that the change will have the effect of cutting down the expenses of operations by several millions of dollars without any loss of efficiency. Another strong effort is being made to bring about peace between the two warring factions in Nicaragua. A dispatch has been received at the state department from United States Consul Moffett, at Bluefields, stating that the Central American court of justice at Cartago, Costa Rica, had unanimously passed a resolution which had been sent to Dr. Madriz at Managua, and General Sstrada at Bluefields strongly urging that an armistice for eight days be agreed to with a view to an agreement through the mediation of the Cartago court, looking to the establishment of peace in Nicaragua. Secretary Knox has indorsed the action of the court. Under suspension of the rules, the house passed a bill authorizing the secretary of war to accept titles to any land which may be donated to the United States which in his opinion may be a suitable place for maneuvering, encampment, rifle and artillery ranges and convenient for assembling troops from the group, of states composed of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The senate amended and passed a bill which already has passed the house to create a bureau of mines in the interior department. In addition to carrying on mining work herefore done by the geological survey, the bureau will investigate the cause of mine explosions. A Small Greenhouse. While most greenhouses are expensive to build and maintain, it is possible for an amateur, to have one at small expense, as an addition to the dwelling. Hotbed heating can from $25 to $30 each, and measure 50 feet. If steam or hot water heating cannot be provided from the house, an oil stove will maintain a high enough temperature. Keep the Pigs at Home. There is a fortune in hogs for all dus if the present prices-hold until they should be also the valuable animals. If should be late in mind, however, that in those late days, if is not safe to allow one's pig to leave the streets. Antomobiles and thieves are far than they were a century ago. The back yard and the nearest vacant lot ought to give the porker sufficient room for comfort—Providence Bullet There are items of expense to the farm that should be credits rather than debts. To see farmers buying in the markets things that could and should be grown on the farm shows lack of forethought. It is no uncommon thing for farmers living near towns to buy their garden vegetables, whereas every one of these can be produced at home. By growing these greater opportunities will be given to purchase more of such as cannot be grown. Even fruits, especially the small fruits, are chiefly had in the market—Indiana Farmer. A correspondent from Edgar County, Illinois, says that he has plenty of clover hay, corn meal, wheat bran and middlings, and wants a daily cow ration for his twelve cows. A good daily ration feeding three times a day would us in quantity for each cow all the clover hay it will eat up clean- and by weight equal parts of middlings and bran mixed with two pounds of corn meal, feeding a pound of this to each cow in the proportion of a pound for three pounds of milk each gives. It is always best to apportion concentrates in proportion to the amount of milk, and therefore different cows require different amounts of these concentrated feeds, though each should have all the clover hay it will eat.—Indiana Farmer. A Small Gr While most greenhouses are expensive for an amateur, to have one at small expense, a stakes bean, from $3.25 to $3.50 each, and heating cannot be provided from the house, a temperature. The Cows and Tuberculin Test. In some of the extensive tests made on cows with the tuberculin test, under the new regulation and laws requiring it, about twenty-five per cent, of the cows reacted, and were thus found to be affected. The tuberculous cow presents a vivid picture of disease long concealed, slowly but surely destroying the tissue until the factor of safety of some organ or structure of the body has nearly been destroyed. During the early stages of the disease the animal may appear to be healthy in every respect, and it is with these that the tuberculin test is valuable. Tuberculin has been used by the experiment station of the Bureau of Animal Industry regularly and continuously during the last seventeen years. Weekly Witness. Mrs. John Osborn, of Clayton, St. Louis County, has joined the ranks of the Yoes of high prices as the woman Egg Trust buster. After eight years' research, she says, she originated a breed of chickens guaranteed to produce eggs every day in the year. The only trouble with the new variety is that the hens are so busy laying eggs they forget to set. They are a mixture of Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns and Blue Andalusians. Mrs. Osborn grows enthusiastic as she describes the new products of the chicken world in this fashion: "Talk about your egg machines, here in Missouri, the realm of the queen of the barnyard, they sink into, oh,livin in comparison to the new Osborns. They are the superiors of the poultry family as egg producers. "They have had no time to go to poultry shows and have their 'tenails' manicured, feathers powdered and their combs bathed in vinegar to enhance their beauty. They lay eggs every day whether they have pretty prize ribbons tuttering from their consort not." With a few hens, each laying one egg, every day, it is not necessary for city residents to study "back to the farm" literature in their dreams of how to return to the good old times when "ham and" was a part of the daily breakfast menu, in the opinion of Mrs. Osborn. A small city lot and little feed and care is all that is necessary to produce enough eggs for each family to break the Egg Test, if the new breed of chickens live up to her statements. Feeding For Butter Making. A good English dairy authority says that, to a small extent rich fatty foods add to the butter fat content of the milk, but only by supplying material which the cow is ready to make cream of, as cows naturally giving poor milk lay this-fat on their backs, and it is, probably useless to try to make a bad cow give, richer milk. If it were not for this, it would seem somewhat meaningless to describe certain foods as butter-producers or less suitable for butter making than for milk-producing, though the foods are all useful for the latter purpose also. Peas and rye, for instance, are apt to make the butter hard, and so we find them, classed as third-rate, butter foods in Denmark, though both of them are useful as milk foods. Butter making is so well understood in Denmark that it is interesting to see in what estimation different foods are held for this purpose. Rape cake, oats, and wheat bran are held in the highest estimation; cotton cake, barley, and palm nut cake come next, peas and rye ranking last. It will be noticed that the best foods are highly nitrogenous, excepting rape cake, and not particularly rich in fat, the second-class foods being superior in this respect. Richness of milk being, however, dependent on the individual cow or particular breed, the question may well be asked whether, it pays to use these foods in, any quantity for all cows alike in a milk herd. Those that give the richest milk should have a larger proportion of non-nitrogenous food, which may to some extent cheapen the ration, as the albuminoid ratio is enlarged. This later in the same proportion for all the cows in a herd has been perhaps too rigidly adhered to, and one of our leading dairy authorities advocates attention being paid more to the actual requirements of the cows rather-than strict adherence to any prescribed diet. to build and maintain, it is possible for us an-addition to the dwelling. Hotbed measure 320 feet. If steam' or hot water an oil stove will maintain a high enough Must Be a Good Milker. For a cow to be worth keeping in dairy- herd she must produce enough milk above the cost of her feed to pay a good income on the investment. She must-do-even more than tits. There are a great many cows that are mere boarders, and when the test is applied it is found that so far as profit is concerned they are worthless, and profit is the only obleck in view. Why one cow will subsist on the same feed as another and yet give twice as much milk is a mystery that has not yet been solved. The cow is a machine-to-take in grain, hay, fodder, etc., and out of this to manufacture milk. The feed is her raw material, and she is the best cow which can take this feed and from it give the greatest return. She, of course, can give back only what is first-supplied to her in a different form, but it is a characteristic of some cows to get out of the feed all the milk available while with others half of it is wasted. While some breeds are better milkers than others, yet it is not altogether a matter of breed. Because a cow may be a Jersey, a Guernsey or a Holstein, this does not signify that she is a good milkier. But the individual cow must stand on her own merits. It is true, however, that the best milkers, belong to these breeds. Usually the Holstein will give the greatest amount of milk, but for richness the Jersey is unexcelled. The cow should also be of good disposition and not be a kicker. If she is wild and easily frightened there will be times when it will be impossible to get all the milk, and the whole herd may at times be made restless. She should also be an easy milker. In a herd the hard milkier is anything but satisfactory. And above all she should not be breachy or a fence pusher, and she should produce a calf every year. She should not go dry, unless burned dry, and she should have an even flow of milk. Many cows produce a large quantity of milk for a few weeks after calving and after that the flow grows gradually less until it ceases altogether. Size or general appearance should not be given much consideration: Color is of no importance except as a mark of breed. What is desired in the dairy cow is milk or butter, and the cow that will give the greatest amount of this at the least expense best cow for the dairy. H, in RAISED ABOVE SUSPICION. El Heaketh Bell, the Governor of Uganda, recently wrote an interesting report, of his four through the eastern districts of that part of Africa. He gave an amusing account of the caretell precautions taken by the elders of the Bakedel, in dealing with the youths and bachelors of the tribe. "At though the majority of the Bakedel go about in a state of absolute nudity, a desire for clothing is steadily growing among them," he says. "Unfortunately, more clothes means less morals." The Baganda, who have always been greatly addicted to wearing apparel, are of notoriously lax habits, while among the Kavirondo, the Bakedel and all the unclothed Nilotic tribes, a notable degree of morality is found to exist. A sharp eye, is kept on the ```markdown ``` REMOVING THE LADDERS FROM THE BAKEDI BACHELORS' HUTS AT NIGHTFALL. bachelors. The Northern Bakedi take amusing precautions with regard to the latter. All the young unmarried men are made to sleep in specially constructed huts raised high up on posts. The doors of these huts are so small that the occupants have to wriggle in on their stomachs. Access is gained only by a ladder, which is carefully removed as soon as the young men have been safely disposed of for the night. I was told that among some of the tribes fine ashes are strewn under these human pigeon.cotes so that tell-tale footprints "would indicate any attempt at a nocturnal excursion." It will be noted in our drawing that one of the Bakedi elders is engaged in strewing the ashes underneath the hut.—The Illustrated London News. An all-metal washboard of an improved design has recently been invented by a New York man. The two primary advantages of the board are that it is very durable and that it has no cracks or corners, where dirt may lodge. The deyce is made of one piece of metal bent around a rod which forms sides, top and legs. The scrub surfaces are formed by raising the metal in a series of corrugations, as shown in the illustration. Being all one piece of metal it will be readily understood that the durability of such a board would be great. There is nothing to be loosened or torn up, and the chances are that the utensil will last longer than the lifetime of those who use it. Another advantage of this metal washboard is the absence of rough corners, or sharp edges, such as sometimes occur on the old-style boards, and on which it is easy to tear in garment. If the greatest care is not exercised in rubbing over them, Boston Post, Herbert Spencer's Deity. This passage is from Mr. Spencer's "First Principles": "The consciousness of an Inscrutable Power, manifested to us through all phenomena, has been growing, ever clearer, and must ultimately be freed from its imperfections. The certainty that on the one hand such a power exists, while on the other hand, its nature transcends. Intuition and, is beyond imagination, is the certainty toward which intelligence has from the first been progressing. To this conclusion, science inevitably arrives as it reaches its confines; while to this conclusion, religion is irresistibly driven by criticism." The Jamp-Magazine The initial number of the Japan Magazine, published at Tokyo with English text, for the purpose of reflecting the life, art and literature of Japan, not as a fantastic comic opera land, but as a real country and people, contains much of interest to the American reader, compares favorably with our own magazines, and the daintiness of the numerous illustrations by native artists is in itself, a revelation. Against an old, Georgia negro, charged with stealing a pig, the evidence was absolutely conclusive, and the Judge, who knew the old, dunkey well, said reproachfully, according to Harper's Magazine: "Now, Uncle, why did you steal that-plg?" "Bekase mah pooh family" wuz starvin", yo' honor", whimpered the old man. "Family, starving!" cried, the. Judge. "But they told me you keep five dogs. How is that, Uncle??" "Why, yo' honor," said Uncle, provingly, "you' wouldn't 'spect mah family to eat dem dogs." No crisbs are required in households which are equipped with one of the bed-gates recently invented, by two Connecticut men. Nor need adults worry about tumbling on the floor during nightmares. The gate is of metal and is composed of crossbars plvoled at their points of intersection so that the whole can be stretched out to the length of a bed or folded up in a small compass nt. the head or foot. In the centre, is a vertical bar to hold the gate against outward movement. Parents who have small children sleeping with them will find the contrivance a great convenience.

Jr. Alan Doug- las, Carlin, master of the Throop, Aye- ne, Presbyterian Church; breaked Sunday morning; on "The Tears of John" morning; out "was" from John 11:25; In the course of his sermon Dr. Carlin said: There Jesus was a 'miller' man than Jesus. 'When His masculine traits are' assembled. He towers among men supreme for courage, will power, maturity of purpose, and perseverance in the face of obstacles. 'It is not the face of obstacles that we stand and therefore we see him. As in no other strong man, the distinctive feminine, traits of sympathy, kindness and love. But these did not predominate. Jesus is unique in that in His character both the masculine and feminine virtues blended harmoniously. Jesus is strong. So that our text represents Him not only with His tenderness of the woman who weeps easily, but also in the awful agony of the strong Man in tears. And, when we draw, near to our Saviour's sorrow and study the occasion for it, we not only see the woman who weeps easily disclosed. Three times He is represented thus to us. Let us reverently behold His sorrow and ask Him why He weeps. 1. We come first to the occasion referred to in Luke 13:41, where He weeps over the city. Read the text and catch the pathos of it. There are two elements in Christ's sorrow here: a Jessier and a greater. He mourned the loss of his son, what that destruction typified. There are lessons for us in both. The first indicates Jesus love of place. It may seem a little thing, but I like to recall the fact that Jesus was and ever will be associated with places on this earth. He loved Jerusalem. Some people scoff at the idea of "holy places," The poet Montgomery asks, scornfully. What's holy ground? Has Earth a slot? elod His Maker meant should not be trod By Man, the image of his God, erect and free? Perbangnot, not, but that is notning against holy places. It is natural to love our birthplace, to hold in sacred reverence the sanctuary where we first-found Christ and the field where lives the dust of loved ones. And Jesus loved the Holy Gay. He had peculiar reasons for doing so. Had it not been made, he would have been a people for ages! Besides that, Jerusalem was and is unique. Like Melchisédesk himself, its history has no beginning, and if it has always been and always will be a holy city. Its first- king was a priest of the most high God. It is to this day the object of the pilgrimages of the three greatest religions—Jewish, Mohammedan and Christian—and in prophetic pictures the sacred city of the world when Israel shall be brought back with joy and singing and the sancty of God once more fill His sancty. The wise men tell us that this world will be destroyed; that it will be blown to fragments, by its internal fires, or wrecked in collision with some other world, or by its frozen dead by its own cooling. In some way or the other, this world will be destroyed. But I doubt it. Jesus abhides unchanged, and in His regard for and relation to this little world is just what He was. When Peter and John healed the lame man at the temple gate they invoked the name of "Jesus of Nazareth." That is His name in heaven. Destroy the world and so we will be saved. Who weep over the city, how would he weep over the world. He came to save! I do not believe anything in the universe is going to be destroyed. For it is written: "The creation itself shall be delivered from the bauage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." The unification of our body. Matter, mind and soul are to be redefined, not destroyed. But Jesus' love of place is not sufficient to explain these tears. There was agony infinitely deeper than that in the thought of what the city's downfall meant to the people for whose salvation God had done so much. Not that the work of God would fall. He was able of the stones to raise up children unto Abraham. The doom should be thrown wide open on the earth, and God's love is not, sickle, and the thought of Israel, whom He loved and still loves, children of the covenant, heirs of the promises, doomed by their own soul-blindness to be scattered among the nations, a people without a home, like Abraham, strangers and pilgrims" on the earth, for centuries to be made to answer what they had made Him, their greatest Prophet, suffer, who "was eagerly waiting to see what would happen to Syriac." His tears were for the ancient people of God. -2. The second instance: shows His sympathy for mon, in the, ordinary sorrows of life. It happened: at the tomb of Lazarus, and it is from that story that our tales taken. Understand, this is a case of pure sympathy. He was not weeping for the death of Lazarus. Such an interpretation idea reads—the whole change as we have it. Read-the whole change as that Lazarus was to die. He knew that it was that: the Son of Man might be florided thereby. He stayed away from Bethany that he might have time to die. And He knew that He would raise him from the dead. So far as regards Lazarus, there must have been in Jesus. he had there must have been in Jesus. he stood before He works his mightiest miracle He feels the throb of anguish in the gistless hearts. Not faith in His immediate help no hope there, and His perception of the awful agony, that death brings to blind, not enough to living humanly awakened a tempest in humanity. So you tum this as well not enough to live. That there must have been the future. a wrist sense of the amount of love of "a dons" You are mistaken, Jesus had no such sense, of personal desire for He-knew that in a moment more Lazarus would stand among them alive and well. And If you think more sympathy-insufficient, it is because you have become dulled, as Jesus is not, to the awfulness of earth's trials. Perhaps we all have to some extent—with the exception of death. We have never gotten used to death. God has planted deep in our hearts—a hatred of death as the unnatural—thing, the unnecessary thing, the thing that ought, not to be! "It is His promise and prophecy that it shall not always be. But we have grown measurably callous to heaven that not! Earth's sorrows are worse in heaven's view, than in our own. Do not think that Jesus minimizes them, when even the angel, when speaking of His-suffering ones to John, 'sad.' "These are they that have come out of great tribulation" 3: The third instance is His agony in the Garden. And this, too, is sympathy. Not now for the Jewish people, nor for the world at large in life's ordinary troubles, but for His own disciples, whose awful grief and disappointment He foresees. He foresees that His agony in the Garden was due to His dread of physical suffering: "But I do not believe it. That would contradict all I have said about the Mammalest of Men. I have a nobler conception of Jesus. Other men have faced death in the most excruciating forms without a murmur. His followers without number have died for Him rejoiling. They have been beheaded, crucified, downward, burned, at his hands, and in the hands in the fire and sung praises to God while breath lasted. Jesus was no coward. "And the disciple is not greater than His Lord." But others think that we must add to this the "loss of the conscious fellowship of the Father, which was hell for Jesus." But He evidently did not anticipate this. That is a cry of surprise He utters on the crops when He says, "My God! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" Bad enough for His disciples, to forsake Him, and reason enough for it, but Thou? "Why hast Thou forsaken Me." And there are still others who say it was the "horror of being made an offering for sin." But He know this all along. He faced this from the beginning of His ministry. And He said once that He was "stratiled until it be accomplished!" I soo in Christ's agony in the Garden—and it is beautiful as a revelation of His character—His sympathy for His disciples in the awful agony His death was to occasion them. You, may see it. If you will read attentively the story in John's Gospel be prepared to note how He labors to make them comprehend what must happen to Him, and how utterly He fails. Though He tells them over and over again that He must leave them, that He will be crucified, and that it is absolutely necessary that He should be, they cannot entertain the thought. So far from it that they insist on believing that He is still speaking to them, that He is certainly cares to forewarn them and thus fortify them for their trial that He utters that remarkable prayer of John 17 in their hearing. Surely they will believe and understand when they, hear Him speaking the same things to God and praying for them that the Father might keep them in His absence. But it-is in vain. So foreign to their preconception that his words make us misunderstand, must hear the awful downfall of all their hopes and the loss of all their faith in Him. Dull pains work so apostles until after Pentecost. It was in this spirit that Christ entered Gethsemane. Why did He take aside the brightest of his adptities and why did He hid them watch Him as He went and prayed, unless it were to show them the eager career of Jesus could not think that a parable. But they were too heavy-eyed to watch. So I believe that, even the agony in the Garden was vicarious, Jesus who refused to exercise His power for Himself at the beginning — did not weep for Himself at the end. His ministry, that could show us the heart side of the Saviour so clearly as his tears? We need no feminine intermediary, for Christ has the tenderness of a woman. He knows your sorrow. He appreciates its weight to the full. He considers it more awful than you do. How gloriously will He reward them that endure to the end? He feels for all mankind. His own mind and heart. He waits for you, His disciples, to hear His message of hope and love and comfort to every one. He has not forsaken nor east of His ancient people. They, star, in God's good time, shall come to know His love for them. And in that day the city that crumbled beneath the windows tears shall be glorified with His smile. Our Three-Kind Gospel. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is a three-Kind Gospel. You all know that "gospel means "glad tidings" or "good news." There are three parts to the good news. The first part is Christ for us on the cross. That God took every one of us to the cross. And laid them on Jesus Christ so that to-day there is not a cloud, between us and God. The second part of the 'Gospel' is Christ in us, the secret of a victorious life. There is no answer for trying to imitate Jesus Christ, but God through the Holy Spirit, forms the living Christ in us, so that Christ in us lives out His life day-by day. The third part of the 'Gospel' is Christ with us. He is not with us in now, but with us in the present, and moves out the Spirit. But the Lord Jesus loved this earth. He is now, but absent Lord, but He is coming back, again. We are going to have him with us, delivering us from the very presence of sin: *H. A.

Stay away from the towns. Last week in Bulloch county, » colored man was tried and acquit- ted for the killing of a white man. We have endeavored to get the particulars, but without success. Undoubtedly the colored brother must have been trebly justified in his action. ‘Witnm the next two weeks the physicians, dentists and pharma- cists of the stgte and a few\from out of the state will be in our midst.

Our Southern representatives especially, should favor this bill be- eause the bulk of the money will eome South and be spent among its business men. Ix Jones county. near Macon, four colored men were in jail charged with attempt to murder. A mob gathered on Tuesday night to lynch them. Inthe meantime the prisoners were removed to the jail at Macon. ! The mob being foiled in their attempt, set fire to two colored churches and a hall, the flames from which nearly caused the destruction of the resi- dence of the Ordinary of the county. No doubt these outlaws are known, but will they be appre- hended? Is.this a sample of the superiority of race of which our white friends boast? Tue stalwart, Gen’l James S.

A man is worked, forced to buy goods froma store, run into debt and sold to pay the debt.” ‘The General rapped this country on its attitude towards the Negro by this assertion? “T am in favor of protecting the citizens of this nation. A few days ago there'was an account of this Government taking steps to pro- tect a couple of Negro citizens of Venezuela. I am in favor of pro- tecting them in this country.” State Medical Association Savannah will enjoy the distinc- tion of haying in its midst and en- tertaining what promises to be the greatest conclave of colored physi- cians, dentists and pharmachts that have come together anywhere in this country, excepting alone the National Convention.

Some Wonderful Class Models of Curious Little Animals From "Nature and Science," In St. Nicholas. At the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, there has been placed on exhibition a series of skillfully constructed glass models of the beautiful and intricate shells of certain varieties of microscopic animals known to scientists as protoans. These glass models are the delicate handwork of Mr. H. Muller, who made them under the direction of Messrs Roy W. Miner and B. E. Dahlgren of the museum staff. Damaged by the museum stall. Wonderful as are the protozoans themselves as viewed under microscopes, one's admiration is even more excited by the mechanical skill that produced the large and correctly detailed models. Many protozoans are so simple in structure that they consist of only a tiny cell without any covering. They have no legs, but extend any part of the jelly-like body in the form of a slender, finger-like processes, with which they cling to the supporting object and so drag themselves along. These processes are called "pseudopodia" (false feet) and sometimes extend from the body so much like the roots of a tree that they have given the class name to the little creatures—Rhizopods, the "root-footed." Wonderful as it may seem, these animals have no special mouth, but may develop a mouth on any part of the body, for when one of the pseudopodia comes in contact with anything entable, such as tiny diatoms, infusorial algae, etc., the part is withdrawn, bringing the particle of food with it into the interior, where it is digested. Huxley regarded these tiny creatures as the most wonderful examples of animata existence, mainly on account of their extreme simplicity. More bits of wonderful jelly are they, but nevertheless they digest and assimilate food; they live, grow and maintain their existence in the face of destructive forces constantly imposed to them. They have the ability to build a shell or external skeleton, which is always beautiful and often complex in character. Another group of these lowly animals are the salt-water forms called radiolarians. These are found almost everywhere, but most abundantly in tropical seas, where they swarm in myriads. They may be taken from the surface, but they have also been dredged from a depth of nearly three miles. You may get some notion of the countless numbers of these radiolarians and the millions of years that they have existed when you learn that their skeletons have formed vask beds of stone, one known statum of which, in the Nicobar Islands, is 2000 feet in thickness. The Barbacos Island is largely formed of their fossilized skeletons, but the deposit there is not, as thick as in the Nicobar Islands. Odd as these tiny creatures are in many ways, one would scarcely look for beauty in such mere snacks of animated jelly. Here, however, lies their greatest charm. Few animals are more beautiful than these lowly radiolarians, their finny skeletons assuming an infinite variety of form. Haeckel, alone, has described more than four thousand species, most of which are but specks invisible to the unaided eye. It is the microscope that reveals them to us, and shows them to be forms of beauty-such as tiny openwork boxes, latticework cones, concentric spheres of which the inner are held in place by radiating spines, "helmets," "baskets," "lanterns," "bee hives"—all formed of glass-like silica. We notice this morning as striking a case of a futile sacrifice for a principle as 'we have ever head off'. Alphonse Gallipaux, a petty officer in the French navy, has chosen to leave the service rather than allow ruthless hands to be laid on his, whiskers. Two years ago Alphonse's whiskers began to grow. The insults of quarter-masters, the chart of the gunroom, the orders of the captain, the menaces of the Port Admiral, and finally the grim request of the Ministry of Marine itself could not induce Alphonse, to sacrifice his whiskers. He has not left the ship for eight months, fearing that if he whistles ashore some way with a scissors, would snip them of when his back was turned. But he is going now, sacrificing his career and the honor of serving La Belle, France for the sake of wearing his whiskers. The Ministry of Marine has outmanoeuvred him in a manner that we do not consider by any means too creditable. They did not come out in the open to fight Alphonse Gallipaux on the face issue. Instead, they have issued a general order limiting the length of all beards, to exactly two and one-fifth inches. Alphonse, however, has powerful supporters, and there is in his case all the makings of a first-class 'afraire'. The fleet is already divided. Fouy duels have been fought. The newspapers are taking sides. It only needs an interpolation in the Chamber before France is in the throes of a whiskers crisis. London Globe.

INVESTIGATION SANTA MARIA NEW YORK PITTSBURG WILLIAMSBURG INVESTIGATION Wheat, Corn, Cotton, and Materials in Market Standards Lead Expected Decline—All Down, Except Meat—Even Meats Will Fall. Admission of a Packer. New York City.—Wheat, corn, cotton, some of the metals, and those of the other commodities which lend themselves to speculation have been declining for the past few weeks, some of them sharply, and the poor consumer, who has seen the cost of living go up steadily since the panic period, is beginning to hope that the crest of high prices has been reached and that most of the necessities of life may get back again to something like real values. enter into the speculative markets, a drop of that extent cannot be passed over by the middlemen, and retailers. It means cheaper potatoes at the corner grocery. Butter, as every housewife knows, has been selling below the sky-high prices of last year for some time, and is now on the average six per cent lower in the Western wholesale markets, but meats stubbornly hold out. Beef in Chicago is still about its high price of $19.25 per 100 pounds. Flour Steadily Declining. There are indications that the backward slide has begun. Flour has gone down 25 cents a barrel since January, and $1.10 since its highest price of last year, and cast side bakers have increased the size of their loaves. Consumers are now getting two pounds two ounces of bread for seven cents. A short time ago they got only two-pounds for the same money. This results in the saving of thousands of dollars to the poor. "We have increased the weight of leaves as much as we can," said Jacob Bokk, of 159-East Houston street, president of the Boss Bakers' Association. It is estimated that the increased weight in the loaves will make a difference of $5000 a day to east side consumers. Everything Down Except Meat. Other marked declines in the prices of foodstuffs are bound to make themselves felt in the retail markets and in the household expense accounts. Potatoes, for instance, are off from 40 to 50 per cent. From the price of last November, and while they do not shows the Fall. High.

Beef in Chicago is still about its high price of $19.25 per 100 pounds, reached on March 23, nud pork is only a trifle lower, and lamb and mutton also refuse to come down. Taking a list of fourteen commodities, such as wheat, corn, oats, beef, pork, turkey and the standard metals, if would seem that the top prices were hit in January. A number of commodities reached prices then which they have never since returned to, although the falling off has been by no means constant. These market prices, although influenced by speculation, usually indicate the true level of values in the long run. Of the commodities chosen it will be seen that they reached their lowest point for the year in April, and that none have reached new high levels since March, when four of the group trade high record prices. Nine of these fourteen were dearest in January. These standard commodities are set forth in the appended table, which gives the high and low prices, highest and lowest prices reached this year, together with the lowest prices in 1909.

No effort was made; to rob the Red Coats of the running record from Concord to Boston.

Ten days' trial will show any one 'There’s a Reason' for POSTUM "HORRORS" OF PEACE Annual, Peaceful Slaughter by Fire Murder and Railroad Accidents. Under the head of "Horrors Other Than Those of War," says the New York Press, the Army and Navy Journal calls attention of the advocates of disarmament to the annual peaceful slaughter by fire and murder and railroad accidents, in mines and factories and tenement houses. The majority of the latter horrors are unnecessary, because preventable. During 1907 there were 1449 persons killed and 5654 injured by confugations. In the cities of the United States, there are 4.5 fires to 1000 population, against 0.8 of one fire in the European cities. Here is a chance to do some good reform work in the anthorror line. Of every 1000 men employed in our coal mines we kill 3.39, while France is killing 0.9 of one minet and Great Britain 1.25. Another opportunity to work for the decrease of an unnecessary because prevent able "peaceful horror." In the matter of murders we enjoy a similarly striking pre-eminence. Chicago averages 113 a year, Paris 15 and London 20. Our murders dispose of about 10,000 persons per annum. Some 200 of these are convicted and punished. In Germany, where standing armies are around under foot everywhere, "95 per cent. of the murderers are brought to justice." We enjoy 43 times as many murders per million of inhabitants as Canada. Still another opportunity appears for a crusade against a peaceful horror—our criminal laws. The annual railroad and street car slaughter offers an equally attractive field for the man in search of horrors to eliminate. The abolition of preventable disease, which takes toll by the million, where the victims of all the other horrors combined total only thousands in comparison, might, one should imagine, attract the burning zeal of the "horror" remover. The logic of this style of argument put forward in support of armies is not impceable. As a matter of fact, they rest on quite other support in the matter of justification. But the shocked wavers of the "war is hell" flag, who blindly wade through the horrors of peace, might, with advantage to the race, take the Army and Navy Journal's criticism to heart. Yellow Fever. "Every one knows that when a man has once had yellow fever and recovered, he never contracts the disease again no matter how much he exposes himself to infection," said Dr. Fred S. Williams, of Havana, Cuba. "This ability to resist the minute organisms which cause the malady is called immunity, and in tropical countries where yellow jack is always present it is turned to profit in various wars. "Thus, during the Spanish-American war regiments of immunes were enlisted in the South for service in the fever-ridden country about Santiago. Again, during the last epidemic in New Orleans, many persons purposely exposed themselves to infection because the disease prevailed in a very mild form, and they concluded that if they were infected they would quickly recover and would be immune during severe epidemics in the future. "Science is making such rapid strides in the way of discovering means to steel the human body against infectious diseases that before many years the most virulent alliments which are now looked upon as almost incurable will be within the control of medical science."—Washington Herald. A carload of bables, sent from New York, have been adopted in homes in Louisiana. That is one way of solving the problem of overpopulation in the city and underpopulation in the South, comments the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Whether the bables like the idea is another question. They were not consulted. In Sydney, Australia, an official wages board has just determined the future salaries of the professional musicians.

Bumpus, director of the American Museum of Natural History, announces that up to last August, at least, V. Steffansson and R. M. Anderson, the museum's Arctic explorers, were safe. A letter from Mr. Steffansson, from Herschel Island in the Arctic Ocean, dated August 19, 1909, has been received, telling of the adventures and successes of the party.—Scientific American. The task which the American south polar expedition had set itself to perform, in the opinion of Sir Ernest Shackleton, was much harder than was generally recognized, inasmuch as no one had ever landed in the place where the exploring party purposed to land. Indeed, no one had ever seen land there, although there was an ice cliff 150 feet high which was called land. Still, Americans might find land in that locality.—Scientific American. Dr. Le Faguays recommends a process of disinfection which consists in blowing upon the contaminated surfaces a current of air heated to a very high temperature (600 to 900 degrees F.). This process may be applied not only within buildings, but also to the surface of streets, yards, etc. The apparatus is heated by petroleum and is very simple. This process not only destroys disease germs, but it is very efficacious against fleas and other vermin.—Scientific American. J. T. Cunningham, In the Field, describes some interesting sea urchins found in St. Helena. The most remarkable fact about these animals is their manner of life. Each one lives in a cavity in the hard black basaltic rock just large enough to contain it. And each animal is supposed to excavate a hole for itself, though there is no direct observation as to how this is done. Callard suggested that it is done by the teeth, and Mobius that the spines are the implements. Others say that both are used. Considering the nature of the rock, however, it is difficult to understand how either or both could be effected without the aid of chemical action. Their life history, indeed, suggests several difficult problems. Kuhne has devised a process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, based upon the employment of the ultra-violet rays emitted by mercury vanor lamps. A mixture of air and sulphurous acid gas is introduced into a tower, lined with lead, into which water is injected in fine jets. Under the influence of the ultra-violet radiation of lamps in the tower, the sulphurous acid is entirely converted into sulphuric acid. Several towers are connected together. The strength of the sulphuric acid solution obtained in the first tower can be increased by spraying it, instead of water, into the second tower. In like manner, the product of the second tower is sprayed into the third, and so on. In the last tower, however, pure water is again used as soon as any sulphurous acid appears in the escaping gases.—Scientific American, A TOUCHING RECORD OF STANLEY'S SAD BOYHOOD Letter Found, Written When a Workhouse Lad, Begging His Uncle For a Place.

"In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest and during that day it spread all over my body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cuticura Remedies, and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone.

Beri-beri has been pretty clearly proved by the British Tropical Society to come from milled, beautifully polished white rice, and proved in a most curricul way. The sort of rices that were suspected of causing it in man were fed scientifically to chickens. Fowls fed on the white milled rice get a general nervous inflammation which is just about, what human beri-beri is. Five weeks fixed the clock for the chickens. Experiments also showed that chickens stayed healthy if fed on original old-fashioned rice pad, as prepared by the country Jakes in Malay.-New York Press, The unwisdom of employing bank cashiers, with automobile tastes, at street car salaries is still being occasionally emphasized in the business circles of the country, rejoices the Christian Science Monitor.

It was in this very cottage in Brookside, 15 miles from Birmingham, Ala., that three Italians nearly died of Fever. They had been sick 3 months. Johnson's Tonic cured them quickly—read letter below: The two physicians here had 3 very obstinate cases of continued Malarial Fever. All were Italians and lived on a creek 50 yards from my store. These cases were of three months standing, their temperature ranging from 100 to 104. The doctors had tried everything in vain. I persuaded them to let me try Johnson's Tonic. I removed all the printed matter and let the medicine go out in a plain bottle as a regular prescription. The effect in all three cases was immediate and permanent.

BUY "BATTLE AXE" SHOES (At-18'10) "It's the expert swimmer who usually gets drowned," said Jackson, throwing down the newspaper he had been reading aloud, and gazing off upon the lake. "I insist that my boy learn to swim, but right there I stop. I don't want him to be what they call a 'crack' swimmer." "What are your reasons, Fred?" I asked carelessly. "The expert is too venturesome," he replied. "He overestimates his powers, takes chances, gets exhausted, or is seized with cramp, and goes down. Every one should swim well enough to keep afloat for a time in an emergency. That degree of skill would save hundreds of lives now lost through complete ignorance of a very useful art. But everyone also should have a wholesome respect for the superior power of nature. The expert loses that respect; the indifferent swimmer knows his limitations, and keeps within the margin of safety." "Your theory is certainly plausible," I admitted, "but how about your own experience? You're a crack swimmer, and you have never been drowned." "To all intents and purposes, I have been," he said, earnestly. "True, they revived me before life was quite extinct, but I had all the sensations of a drowning man, and lost consciousness, as completely, if not as permanently, as if I had been dead. And I also fully illustrate the fool-hardiness of the expert, precisely as did the lad mentioned in the article I have been reading. "The thing happened nineteen years ago this summer, while I was here on a visit to my uncle. I had won two swimming races that season, and felt as much at home in the water as I did on land. I think I can truthfully say that I had absolutely no sense of fear when swimming—like the young fool that I was! "I heard that Davy Brown, father of Isane Brown, you know, had set a number of lines for sturgeon out there in the lake, and I wanted to see how that type of fishing was conducted. When he and his son-in-law, Henry Simmons, went to visit them one morning, I asked and received permission to go along. "We rowed out in a heavy scow—the kind they used to draw their seine with—and the trip took some time, deceling me as to the actual distance. I estimated it at less than a mile, because their boat rowed like an ore barge; but we must have gone faster than I thought, for the distance to the bar is approximately a mile and a half. "I had on swimming tights, and the moment we reached the shallows on the 'old bight' beach, as they call the bar—out where you see the waves breaking—I sprang overboard. The water at that point was not more than two feet in depth, and I waded across to where they had a spar as thick as my leg deeply planted among the rocks. It stood fifteen or twenty feet out of water. "The fishermen had a guide line leading straight out from the spar for about forty yards, to where one end of the set line was anchored. The set line, kept afloat by kegs used as buoys, extended along the deep water outside the bar and parallel with it for a hundred rods, to where there was another anchor, similarly equipped with guide line and pole. Brown and Simmons' had three set lines, fixed thus end to end, reaching nearly a mile, or most of the way across the entrance of the bight. "There was merely a light, breeze at the time, and the low waves did, not break on the shallows as they do now, so I was not bothered by them aaI splashed along; but I soon found that where I was had jumped from the boat was the shallowest part of the submerged beach. There also were gaps in the bar, wide enough for ship channels, where the water was at least one hundred feet deep, perhaps more. You can see three or four gaps in the breakers from here now. "Well, I swam across those places, and along not a few other stretches, too, for everywhere toward the northeast shore of the bight the water was at least breast deep. Finally, when the end of the last line had been reached, I climbed back into the scow and helped to row it to shore. Thus my first trip to the drowned beach was as you see, without incident. The second day following this trip was a scorcher. The thermometer registered ninety degrees in the shader and directly after my aunt's A Hero at the Play. PERFORMANCE of "The Heroes of the Riff" at the Noviades Theatre, Madrid, recently, gave rise to an unusual demonstration. The play contains an episode of the defense of a cannon by a common artilleryman against a horde of Moors. The soldier kills four of the enemy, wounds a fifth, and then falls down exhausted, having lost the power of speech. While this scene was being enacted, amid the intensest excitement of the audience, a man dressed in the special uniform worn by the Spanish troops at Melilla tried to make his way down the aisle of the theatre, but being unable to get upon the stage that way gained entrance by a side door and making his appearance on the stage a moment later, dashed in among the Moorish soldiers, gave them a good hammering and carried the cannon off in triumph. While the audience was still wondering what it all meant, the soldier stepped out of the wings and made a speech. "I am the soldier who performed the deed which is here represented," he said. "My name is Pedro Cruz. With my own hands I killed four Moors, wounded a fifth and saved the gun, all for the honor of Spain. I lost the power of speech, but recovered it in the Military Hospital at Cartagena. I have been promoted to the rank of sergeant and to-morrow I am going to the palace to be received by the King." The audience developed hysterical symptoms of enthusiasm, interrupting the play by swarming on the stage and bearing the hero off on their shoulders in a wild tumult of excitement.—New York Dramatic Mirror. ```markdown ``` noon dinner I resolved to cool off in the lake. "I walked the three miles to the beach, and when I reached there was dripping wet with perspiration. In I plunged, with the smallest possible delay, however; and the only wonder is that I didn't have a cramp at the outset. "Near shore the water was almost too warm, but once out a few rods, I had only to let my feet down to strike a temperature that seemed arctic by comparison. The depths of the Great Lakes are always cold. "I had been accustomed to bathing in the Atlantic, and thought I had swum in fresh, it had been only during contests of limited duration. The difference in buoyancy is very perceptible, if you are not racing. I swam a hundred rods or so from shore, turned upon my back, and tried to float. In five seconds I was standing upright, treading water. "This was repeated again and again; but at last I learned the knack, and drifted easily for a long time—perhaps an hour; much longer, in fact, than I should have remained in the water.

"I turned over, to swim ashore, when in an evil moment my eye fell upon one of the spars by means of which the set lines were guyed, and without thought, I started to swim out there, my plan being to stand knee deep in the shallows till warmed through, and then swim ashore. Distances on the water are deceptive, and it seemed to me that the spar was much nearer than the beach. "I must have been nearly a mile from it, and the swim, in my chilled condition, proved very exhausting. To make matters worse, a thunder storm was gathering in the northwest, and the wind that preceded it began to ruffle the lake. The waves, converging on the bight, rose very rapidly there. Within five minutes I could hear them pounding on the bar. "Of course I should have turned back at the first thunder peal, but pride kept me going — pride, ignorance of conditions on the lake and of my own limitations. When at last I felt that I was making very little headway, and was minded to turn for the shore, I did not dare. For the first time I was really worried, forced to the conviction that my strength would be exhausted if I tried to cover the mile of tumbled water between me and the bach. "I set my teeth and kept doggedly at it, husbanding my breath and fighting off the sharp pain that kept returning to the muscles extending from beneath my right shoulder-blade down to my hip. For ten minutes I seemed to gain hardly at all, but I really was going ahead, though slowly, for suddenly the breakers were on both sides of me, and the air was thick with spray. In a few seconds I was clutching the spar, with my back turned to the wind. "It seemed as if the waves were high enough and extended deep enough to expose the sand and rocks between crests, but I could see nothing but rolly water, even in the broughs. " I towered my feet to topp bottom, and went down, nearly to my eyebrows before my toes came in in contact with the boulders that were piled about the foot of the spar. I gasped, climbed hastily up the thick stick, and looked about me. " Then I knew that, instead of swimming to the pole near which I had alighted before, I had reached one farther to the east, where the water-on the bar was deeper. But it had then been only four feet in depth and was now nearly six. Were there tides on the Great Lakes? "There are such things, as I now know, although the rise and fall ordinarily is only a fraction of an inch. But a northwest wind will raise the water two feet in this bight in a very short time, if it blows hard enough; and that squall was a record breaker. Even with my back to the waves, I soon became afraid of being smothered. I climbed higher and higher up the spar. "The land was hidden, the sky had become a dull lead color, splashed with black, and the thunder and lightning roared, and flamed incessantly. Just before the rain came—and with it a slight lessening in the violence of the gale—the highest wave of all broke over me with stunning force. "As it descended, I felt myself falling—and the spar falling, too. It had pried loose at the bottom under the impact, to which my weight gave added force. Somehow I elung to the stick, which, held in leash by the guy line, rose and fell with the breakers, now banging its water soaked butt on the bottom, and again tossed high in air. It seemed as if the life would be beaten out of me by this pounding alone, besides which I could, catch my breath only at intervals, and was half smothered. "The set line anchor: dragged, and inch by inch I drifted"across the bar. The deeper water inside no longer permitted the stick to touch bottom. This was a marked relief, till the anchor caught firmly against the outer edge of the bar, and the pitching became so violent that I was sure that I should be torn from the spar. "Suddenly, however, just as my strength collapsed, the pitching gave place to rapid drifting; the guy line had parted. "About ten feet remained attached to the stick. I drew it in and began feebly to wrap it about my waist and the spar, to bind myself fast. I remember taking two turns. After- at the Play.

"I was drowning by inches—and I knew it! I had no expectation of reaching the shore alive, for I was sure the breakers inshore would finish me; but I wanted the timber to keep my body afloat. "They say that when a man is drowning his entire life passes like a panorama through his mind. I doubt it; certainly nothing of the kind, happened to me. Before the pole came loose, I had been too scared to think of anything except the petilis surrounding me. After that my mind seemed sodden, like my body, and there was no consecutive thought, only blind instinct. "I felt as if an iron hand were bound about my chest. Then consciousness floated from me. The last I remember was when the spar turned over with me, plunging my head beneath the surface. "It seemed only a second later, though a half hour had elapsed, when I opened my eyes and saw Henry Simmons kneeling back of my head, grasping my wrist and working my arms, like pumps, to force respiration. I knew I had drifted ashore and been picked up by the fishermen, but it was an hour before I could converse with them coherently. "I was bruised and battered from head to foot, and was slick in bed for several days. Simmons had seen me from the bluff and had dragged me out of the breakers, or I should have stayed drowned. "I am now one of the few good swimmers...who have learned how helpless a man can be when he is really exposed to the fury of the elements. That, perhaps, is best of all; but only about one in a hundred would have the good fortune to acquire my experience. and come through it alive."—Youth's Companion.

Attention is called to the experiments made by the Office of Public Roads, wherein it was shown by instantaneous photography that the damage to the roads was produced by the rear or traction wheels of motor cars, and particularly at a speed above twenty-five miles an hour. The force with which they were propelled was sufficient to cause a marked slip upon the surface of the hard road-bed, such as is often seen in an exaggerated manner on a frozen surface. The question is raised, Mr. Richardson states, as to the policy of constructing so large an extent of macadam roads as has been done in the last few years, and as is professed for the future, without-considering a surface of bitumen, which, he says, at a reasonable additional cost, may avoid the existing conditions. Several authorities are quoted as to cost of repairs of macadam roads under present conditions. A road near Lynn, in Massachusetts, of almost perfect macadam construction, exposed to wind, sun and high-speed automobiles, had to be resurfaced after a single year's service. W. C. Carpenter, County Surveyor in Yorkshire, Eng., reported at the Paris Congress that the maintenance of roads in his district was $482 per mile in 1890, and $789 in 1908. Mr. Hooley, holding the same position in Nottinghamshire, states that the maintenance cost was formerly $250 per mile; now it is $750, and he advises a resurfacing with bituminous macadam.—Good Roads Magazine. Recent Experiments in Road Making. In Missouri the earth of about half a mile of road was taken out to a depth of twenty to twenty-four inches, and a width of twenty feet, and was heaped beside the wide and shallow trench thus made. A very heavy steam roller then rolled the bottom of this exposed soil foundation until it was deemed to be as compact as it could be made by this means. A little at a time the earth which had been taken from the roadway was spread, evenly over the bottom of the trench, and rolled as thoroughly as the foundation had been. This loose earth was well sprinkled as the rolling went on. In this way all the soil that had been so removed from the highway was returned and packed down. Then soil was taken from the sides of the roadway, put upon the driveway and sprinkled and rolled as thoroughly as the rest had been. By the time the road had been built up to the required grade ample ditches had been made by so taking the soil from the roadside. They who designed and executed this work believe that this road will shed water, and be hard and smooth under traffic, if care be used to keep its foundation well drained, and its surface properly dressed by frequent and timely use of the road drag. The cost of making such road was comparatively small.—Good Roads Magazine. A New Road Plan For Nebraska. Governor A. C. Shallenberger has outlined a good roads plan which he is reported as stating that he will recommend to the legislature. The plan involves the taxation of automobiles at the rate of one dollar per horse power per year. This the Governor thinks would bring into the treasury about $150,000 per annum. In addition to this, he would have the legislature appropriate a similar sum, which would make a road fund of approximately $300,000 a year. In the distribution of the road fund the Governor says: "The road fund would be apportioned on a percentage basis among the counties willing to make local appropriations for road building, the State to furnish twenty per cent. of the amount appropriated by the county, and the building of main roads east and west through the counties accepting the provisions of the act will, be provided for."—Good Roads Magazine.

The population of the United States has increased 25 per cent. in the last ten years, and the following is the increase in the quantity of foodstuffs during the same period. Corn, 20 per cent; wheat 20 per cent; oats, 10 per cent; barley, 100 per cent; rye, 15 per cent; buckwheat, 0 per cent; sheep, 40 per cent; cattle, 2 per cent; horses, 1 per cent; butter, 350 per cent; cheese, 0 per cent, and milk, 350 per cent. The production of foodstuffs has not kept pace with the increase in population; that is the basic cause for the increased cost of living. The second cause is that the earning power of the people during the same period has increased 25 per cent, which means a greater demand from them for foodstuffs and a greater number who are willing to pay higher prices, having the wherewith so to do. The third cause is that all beef and poultry is controlled absolutely by the packers, who, finding that the quantity does not keep pace with the increasing population, and that the people have more money to spend, force the prices up to the utmost limit that the people are willing to pay. The fourth cause is cold storage. Destroy cold storage and the third cause would fall with it. Cold storage, as practiced in the United States, is unnecessary, harmful to the stomachs of the people and injurious to their pockets. Cold storage is unknown in Europe, and if Europe can get along without it, the United States can. The packers and cold storage exploit the appetites of the nation for the benefit of the packers' pockets. "Leaving the farm" for the "lure of the city" is caused by universal education making the younger generation above their business. "Back to the farm," if it ever happens, which is doubtful, will never happen until the empty stomachs of the people force them there. Possibly chemistry may produce a substitute for natural foodstuffs, but until "back to the farm" becomes a reality or chemistry produces a substitute foodstuffs must increase in price. Increased gold production has nothing to do with "increased prices," and the tariff has very little. VERY one is talking high prices. But my topic is different. I wish to talk not on the high prices themselves, but on their dangers, the chief dangers being, of course, to that trunk class of a nation, the small-salaried man, the clerk, the shop girl. The present high prices are affecting this class in two ways; first, they are tending to force them down rather than up in the social scale; second, they are putting them to such stress that they are tending to become an underfed class, under-nourished, and certainly the danger of having the great trunk class of a nation under-nourlshed cannot be overrated. Well, I don't pretend to know the causes of high prices, but this I do know: that I am today paying 8 cents more for my steak, 7 cents more for eggs, 7 cents more for butter than I was last year; that a better class of people than heretofore is beginning to try and evade the compulsory education law, and that certain shop-girls whom I know have reduced their lunches from chicken on toast with rice border to an eclair and a cup of coffee. In other words, our great, prosperous (?) country stands at the parting of the ways. A little more, and you will have the trunk class of America an underfed class, being slowly but surely forced down in the social scale. The laboring man, the miner, the servant girl (who are being paid more) will force their children up into the clerk class only to have their children stick there or return to them. This would no longer be American. This that I say is true; and it seems to me to merit the attention of all thoughtful Americans who, care for their country.—American Magazine. GERMAN SPIES IN ENGLAND? Story About Teutonic Walter Recalls Our Japanese Butler Scares. The "menace" with which Americans became familiar during the "threat" of a Japanese-American war and which generally took the, form of Japanese butlers who were really spies is now getting in its same old deadly work in England. Over there the "threat" is of an Anglo-German war; so the "menace" naturally becomes a Teutonic walter. Under the heading "A.Real Menace" man writes to the Gentlewoman as follows: "I must confess that without being in the least a scaremonger the presence of such crowds of foreigners in our midst does not tend to make one feel altogether comfortable. Most of all does the German waiter flourish at all the restaurants, whether smart or otherwise, all over this great London of ours, and in case of an invasion from overseas what part would these gentry play in the general commotion? "By way of answer I will repeat a story that is now being told in the clubs on the best authority. A gentleman of English birth, but possess- ing in a marked degree the gift of tongues, entered a well known restaurant with the air of being a German. He was soon on easy terms with the Teuton who of course attended to his creature comforts. Before leaving he requested a few minutes private conversation with the kellner, who by that time had become expansive. "Have you,' quoth the linguist in most fluent German, your orders for when the great moment arrives? " "Oh, certainly!" replied the waiter. "We all know exactly where to go and what to do" Gratitude for Refusal. One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor, who requested his executors to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, as she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings. More subtle, however, was the sarcasm of a will proved, in 1830, in which a wife received $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death. In order that "she might be buried, suitably as my wifeow." A French merchant bequeathed a large fortune to a woman of his new acquaintance to show his esteem for her refusal to marry them twenty years before.
