1t may be imagined that carbon. being
made from the direct products of coal and
petroleum, is a dirty material. offensive to
the smell and more so to the taste. 1t is
dirty. in the curse of it's preparation. be-
cause the men working with it become as
dirty and greasy faced as if they were
working in a coal mine. Completed it is
quite another matter, and the largest
piece of it may be handled with kid gloves
without soiling them. Neither is it of
fensive to the smell. The ordinarily Curl
GUS citizen can tell all that. To secure
testimony as to taste, however. it is nee
essary to go into the factory, by proxy of
course, because you cant go yourself.
There you are ready for the explanation
that the carbon is submitted to such heat
that the taste is all gone, and you are
still reader to believe that this is true.

Sport is the law and the prophet of
Englishmen, and to confess to neither
pleasure nor concern in the results of the
days racing, shooting, hunting, angling,
is to totally emancipate ones self from the
nmiable regard of a sport loving Briton.
American indifference to the circumstance
and event of sport is the contempt of the
aristocracy and landed gentry. Sport is
the autocrat. 1t controls society and
makes an important chapter in literature.
There is a universal devotion to the idea,
alike from high and low. But it is the
privilege of the great, the temptation of
the poor. Poaching as an offense forms
stereotyped matter for every well regu-
lated English novel. The dress, the man
ners, the firtations which make the maxi
mum of life in country houses during
autumnal revels are as important a factor
in British society as the London season.
Wives, mothers and daughters who nave
none of the tastes which give zest to the
hunt are constrained to provide them
selves with more gentle amusement dur
ing that ~sanguinary period in the British
year.
1t is not a fine taste-the love of horse
flesh. cricketing, deer stalking and the
general desire of killing something. 1t
seems to take a place in the category with
pugilism and bull fighting. But it de-

strength, and the cultivation of muscular
vigor is something more valued than artis-

for an excess of animal force.-Cor. Phila-

Though it is not certainly known that
new species of animals or plants nave
been produced artifcially, everybody is
aware that, by means of intelligent selec-
ton, remarkable changes have been
sought and accomplished for mans profit
and pleasure. Fruits have been improved
in size and quality, flowers in beauty, and
animals in flesh and other products and
in physical endowments.
Mr.. Charles Morris now urges that such
experiments in variation be made for the
benefit of science, believing that results
not yet dreamed of might be obtained,
and the problems of the origin of species
and the limits of animal intellect be
brought nearer solution When such ex-
~traordinary results have been produced
by chance methods of selection of super
fetal traits so far practiced, the adoption
of scientific methods and the selection of
more significant characteristics would
very likely yield varieties of the utmost
interest and value to science.-Arkansaw

A respected citizen residing on North
avenue has a peculiar way of seeking re-
lief from the heat Of summer. which Is,
perhaps. worth mentioning before the an
nual exodus to fashionable watering
places. The apparent advantages of his
plan are it's cheapness homely sim
plicity. He does not bother his head lay
ing out routes of travel among mountains.
and lakes. and along the sea shore. Each
summer is spent at the same place.
At the approach of extreme heat he HES
himself at once to his retreat. There are
no mosquitoes there, no brass bands, no
crowds, no noise. He enjoys genuine re-
pose and quiet. His life in the summer
may be compared to that of those hermits
who occasionally take up their abodes In
caves and recesses under the earth's sur
face The Rochesterian's cave is the eel
lar under his residence. This he furnishes
with rugs. an easy chair, a couch and q
table. He passes his time pleasantly,
taking huge enjoyment out of an old fash
Toned, long stemmed pipe. and some
books and papers. The air is quite as cool
as can be desired, and the cellar being
dry, he does not fear rheumatism or ma
laria-
This peculiar gentleman does not choose
to s%ojourn in his cellar in the summer be-
he cannot afford to go elsewhere.
He is. in fact, in comfortable circum-
stances, retired from business, and living
on a neat yearly income from his prop
erty. Being of quite an advanced age he
dislikes travelling any distance. He
thinks that his plan is the best for keep
ing cool in summer without going away
from home. He is not the only one who
has adopted this plan A Baltimore man
who passes his summers in a cellar was
described In one of the papers of that
city some years ago. Which of the two
first conceived the idea is not certain.
The Rochesterian has had the plan in
working order for three or four years

nTAxRELL,S GRAHE

St. Louis dispatch: An evening paper
says that an attempt to steal the body
of Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, ex-
ecuted August 10 for the murder of G.
Arthur Preller, has created quite SEN
sation here and developed some strange
facts. At a very early hour yesterday
morning pistol shot in Cavalry ceme-
terry attracted the attention Of a buck.
ster named Peter Reitz, coming to the
city with load of truck, and few min
utes later a closed vehicle passed him on
the road, the team being on gallon.
Following the team came man named
John Shevelin, who excitedly informed
Reitz that the occupants of the fleeing
vehicle had made an attempt to steal the
body OF the murderer Maxwell, whose
case attracted such worldwide attention.
Investigation developed the fact that
Shevelin had been employed and well
paid by an unknown but beautiful lady
to guard Maxwells grave at night. He
was on duty when three men entered
the cemetery and started for the grave
OF the little chloroformer. Shevelin
fired his pistol and the men fled. None
OF them has yet been found. They left
q shovel and rope at the grave side.
An effort will be made to learn who the
woman is who pays so literally for
guarding Maxwell's grave.

Preparation. tor Winter oairying.

The present Is the time to begin
preparations for making butter in win
ter. The first requisite is that the
COWS shall come in during the months
OF September and October, and calcu-
lations must be made accordingly.
The advantages of changing from the
old system Of sumner dairying to win
ter operations are so great that many
of the most intelligent and progressive
dairy farmers have adopted the latter
method. They thus escape the daily
and exacting labor of the dairy during
the busy summer months, when the
general operations OF the farm demand
the most attention. The cows go dry
during the sultry days of midsum-
mer, when the pastures are
tho most parched and scanty.
There is no butter to be kept over
through the hot season, when keeping
it in good order is tho most difficult
and prices arc the lowest. These and
other advantages are greatly in favor
OF winter dairying, which has been
made practicable by the modern i'm
.provements in doep setting, preserv-
ing fodder in silos, centrifugal separat-
ing, etc. With this, as with other
important changes, it is the first step
which costs.
The first step, ns indicated above,
Is to hold the cows back SO they will
come in during September of next year.
In the vicinity of n butter factory 1t
is desirable that the majority Of the
patrons shall agree to make the change,
that the factory may be kept running
through the winter. Those who al.
ready have cows which will come in
next fall, or can buy them, must see
that good shelter is provided, with
plenty of ensilage, means for taking
the chill from the drinking water, etc,
1t is idle to object to this system Us
unnatural" for the cows. The dairy
cow, as we have her to-day, is an arti
fetal product any way, which has beer
