Tho Great Flood aud the Losses Incurred.
1t is yet too early to give a correct
estimate Of the losses by the flood in the
Monongahela and Tygart's Valley. From
many places affected no reports what
ever have been received, and there is
really no way of estimating the damage
sustained by farmers who were unfor'
tunate enough to be in the track OF the
rushing waters. In many instances en-
tire crops of wheat in shocks and thou.
sands Of feet Of lumber have been swept
away, together with no inconsiderable
quantity Of garden truck, &c, and
the losses in this way are in
calculable. The estimate given be-
low is based partly on news
paper reports and partly on private adj
vices received. In most instances we
have placed the aggregate loss at the
minimum amount given by our cores
pondents. We feel that to place the
entire money value of the property lost
and damaged at three million dollars, is
not an exaggeration. Aside from this
there is the attendant suffering among
the poorer people who live along the
river, and have lost all they possessed,
many barely escaping with their lives.
Our estimate of the money losses is as

Later news may decrease this estimate,
but it is almost as likely to increase it.
Wheeling people have not forgotten
their experience in 1884, when the Ohio
overlooked its banks and ruthlessly
swept away their homes other possess
ions. Neither have they forgotten how,
when the appeal for aid for the suffering
ones went out, the citizens of the towns
and counties now overtaken with a
similar calamity responded promptly
with clothing, provisions and money.
1t is possible that Wheeling people
have now an opportunity TO show in a
substantial manner their gratitude for
this help that came in the hour Of ur-
gent need. The actual suffering among
the poor in the Monongahela and Ty-
CARTS valleys may not be SO great as that
experienced here, for they are scattered
over larger area Of country and are
surrounded by prosperous neighbos
who have been prompt to offer aid, but
II there is the slightest need of aid Of
any sort by those who have lost their
homes and clothing, Wheeling will, the
Reimbursement is sure, be found ut the
front in the work Of affording them re-
lief. She will not wait for a second call,
but respond to the first. Her sympathy
for the storm-swept districts is of gen.
uine nature, made all the more hearty
by the remembrance OF her own recent
similar afIliction, and the thought OF the
debt of gratitude she owes to these same
unfortunate people.

UNHEALTHY WORK.
Near-Sightedness and Weakness Of tn
Eyes Among Iron-Workers.

Near-Sightedness and Weakness Of tho
Eyes Among Iron-Workers.
It is fact that large percentage
of the men employed as heaters in the
iron mills of Pittsburgh are more or
less troubled with defective vision, the
nature of their work compelling them
to gaze for protracted periods upon the
misunderstanding light of metal at
white heat, which they must be able
to distinguish from the flames of burn
ing gas which surround it. Secretary
William Martin of the Amalgam ated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers,
in Pittsburgh, says that among men
who have worked for few years in
iron mills, near-sightedness or weak
ness of the eyes is almost universal,
and advised the reporter to interview
few of the employees of any mill in
the city to test this statement
This was done, resulting in confirma-
ton from half dozen heaters in one
of the largest rolling mills in the city.
The men seen had worked in the iron
mills for periods ranging from three to
twelve years, and with very slight diff
ferences their powers of vision had all
been affected in the same manner.
They are unable to distinguish small
objects at any considerable distance.
One was entirely unable to read the
print in an ordinary newspaper; and
another pointed to a clock with dial
a foot in diameter, and said he could
not see the hands ten feet away. With
one the trouble was permanent and
unvarying, while another's eyes were
restored to their normal condition If
he stopped a month. None of them
experience pain, and it does not seem
to have occurred to any one that
physicians services was needed. They
regard the change that takes place in
their eyes as sort of process of '.get-
ting use" to the necessary requirements
Of their trade.
The reporter on looking into one of
their blazing heaters could distinguish
only a binding glare, scarcely inferior
to the dazzling light of the sun itself.
Yet these men must be able to see
clearly the white-hot masses of metal
through the flames of the gas that is
burning all around them. The diff
Guilty of doing this may be compared
to that which would be experienced IN
trying to perceive one bright light
through another. Yet the experienced
heater does it with as much ease as If
the hot iron were so much wood float
ing in water. They say that no de-
gree of proficiency can be acquired in
less than three months time, and that
since the employment of natural gas
in the furnaces the difficulty has be-
come much greater, and the effect
upon the eye more pronounced p;fta-

HOW TO USE MILK.

Principles to Be Regarded in the Case OF
Adults Well Infants.
Milk is food that should not be
taken in copious draughts like beer,
or other fluids, which differ from it
chemically. If we consider the use Of
milk in infancy-the physiological in
gestion, that is, of tive find that the
sucking babe imbibes little by the
natural food provided for it. Each
small mouthful is secured by effort,
and slowly presented to the gastric
mucous surface for the primal
digestive stages. It is thus reg
ularly and gradually reduced
to curd, and the stomach is
not oppressed with a lump of half
coagulated milk. The same principle
should be regarded in the case of the
adult. Milk should be slowly taken
in mouthfuls, at short intervals, and
thus it is rightly dealt with by the
gastric Juice. If milk be taken after
other food, it is almost sure to burden
the stomach, and to cause dis
comfort and prolonged indigestion, and
this for the obvious reason that
there is insufficient digestive agency
to dispose of it. And, the better
the quality of the milk, the more Sc
we're the discomfort will be under these
conditions.
Milk is insufficiently used in making
simple buildings of such farinaceous
foods as rice, tapioca and sage. Dis
taste for these are engendered very
often, / believe, because the milk is
stinted in making them, or poor,
skinned milk is used. Abundance of
new milk should be employed, and
more milk or cream should be
added when they are taken.
In Scottish households this matter is
well understood, and distinct pud-
ding-plate, like small soup plate, is
used for this course. The dry messes
commonly served as milky buildings in
England are exactly fitted to create dis
gust for what should be a most excel
ent and delicious part of a wholesome
dinner for both children and adults

It is said that uniformity of color

Although eggs have been sold by

there seems little disposition on the
part of Eastern produce dealers to
adopt the excellent custom. Keepers
of poultry would then seek such

greatest number of eggs, be they large
or small.

willingly eat a diseased fowl. but the
cupidity of chicken-raisers might in

by poor people without injury. There
is probably little danger from diseased
chickens, but any person who would

1t is said that in Honduras, where the

VALUABLE FODDER.

Under All Circumstances.
What shall be done with the straw
In the great grain-growing regions
little thought is given it. 1t is often
burned, loosely stacked, or spread
about the barn-yard or fields where
threshed, or any way to get rid of it.
Straw is a valuable fodder and should
be housed or we'll stacked and fed out
to stock in winter. It has been
demonstrated that straw and less than
a bushel of barley, or its equivalent
in other grains, will winter a
sheep well, and that straw and
four quarts of oats a day will
do the same for a horse that is not
working. If any one will take the
trouble to compare the value of these
with what it costs to winter such stock
with hay it will be seen that it is wise
to save the straw carefully and make
such use of it. It is too valuable for
bedding for animals; cheaper material
for this purpose can be obtained
either dry muck, earth, leaves or saw
dust
All know that hay will winter an
animal we'll, and straw and grain in
the proportions named are the equiva-
lent of hay in their ingredients; 2 and
z make as well as 5 and 4; all of the
same elements are in each of the two
groups A quantity of straw is
usually estimated at the value of the
plant-food it contains. and it may be
decomposed and made available for
growing plants next year or the year
after, but when fed to stock it is avail
able Immediately. Wheat and all the
other grains make good manure, and /
would as soon think of casting them
into the barnyard for this purpose as
straw. What to do with the straw
then can be answered in four words
feed it to stock. If not stock enough
on hand to consume it, buy breeding
ewes in November and carry them
through the winter for less than fifty
cents a head, and in spring they will
be worth double their first cost I

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

1t Is the Liver. and Not the Heart, Which
Rules the DestInies Of Men
The average American liver is al
ways more or less out of order. There
are all manner of remedies for regulat-
ing livers, and yet the country is full of
unregulated livers that refuse to run
on schedule time.
The liver affects the intellectual
parts of man. 1t is the liver, and not
the heart, that is really the seat of
sentiment, Of love. of chivalry, and of
all good and evil emotions. The con-
dition of a mans liver colors and af-
fects all his acts. A man may have
ever so warm heart. and it may be in
the right place, but let his liver be out
of order and he will kick the first
harmless yellow dog he meets.
We often hear OF a man harboring
malice in his heart. The statement is
not correct. ALI malice resides in the
liver. Nine men in ten have malicious
livers- All murderers have damaged
and disabled ivers. This is fact that
will soon be heralded abroad by the
medical profession, and then the day
will come when instead of the monot-
onous insanity plea, the lawyer for the
defense will claim that the deed was
done while the prisoner was laboring
under q fit of temporary arrangement
of the liver. If Solomon had lived in
these unhealthy times, instead of
speaking as he did about the heart, he
would have said: 1.-THE liver of man
is deceitful above all things, and des-
perately overcharged with bile-n
When the preacher draws gloomy
pictures of woe, it is his liver that is
out of order. When the philosopher
predicts calamities and disasters that
are about to fall on the people. it is the
hinges OF his liver that need oiling.
When our old friend Taxpayer" writes
a letter to the local paper in which he
blasphemes monopolies, and demon
strates that the country is misgoverned
and is going to the demnitiOn -4bow-
vows, old Taxpayer means well, but
the lappels of his liver are turned the
wrong way When politician gets on
his feet IA the House of Representa-
tives and denemces the policy of the
opposition as criminal and hurtful to
the best interests of the people," his
liver is In need of repairs. When a
man gets cranky and rails at fate, or
refuses to pay his dog-tax, we should
not judge him harghly; his liver may
have got damned in among some of
his other organs
When science shall have so far adj
vanced that the liver of man will be
under control, then, and not till then,
will the millennium dawn.-Teras SJt-

Because the United States have q
population of only IA to the square

Great Britain is subject to the curse
of entailed estates and vast unproduct-

Because the United States have 1907

Because the United States are richer

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
why Monopolists Have Always Wanted
Very High Tariff.

why Monopolists Have Always Wanted
o Very High Tariff.
The Republican platform adopted at
Chicago and Endorsed by candidate
Harrison declares that imports must
be,checked' by higher tariff. Now
the surplus products of the farm which
can not be sold in this country and
which must be sold in foreign countries
are paid for by imports from those
countries. They can not be paid for in
coin, because there is not enough coin
in existence in those countries to pay
for the American farmers surplus
products. Therefore they must be
paid for by imports from those ,coun-
tries. That is by bills of exchange
drawn upon the credit produced by the
sale of the imported articles lin this
country. If imports were checked
it follows that the farmers surplus
amounting to five hundred millions of
dollars and more per annum would be
a dead loss. that the American farmer
would have to lessen his produc-
ton by five hundred millions per
annum, that many worlmen now en-
ployed in agriculture would be forced
into the trades and that iron and steel
workers and machinists and black
smiths and carpenters and bricklayers
and weavers and miners and all work
ing7men outside of agricultural indus
tries would have sudden and terrible
competition from the farm hands
thrown out of employment This is no
idle prediction. It is an imminent
peril.
'One reason why monopoTists want q
Nery high tariff is that they know that
twill drive farm labor of the farm
and into competitions s0itA labor an the
faatories, furnaces and asSses. Thus
they expect to force down the wages OF
labor. If they can =" check imports"
and prevent the farmer from exch2ng-
ing his surplus products for imports
from foreign countries, they can drive
the farmers sons and hired help affthe
farms and get their labor at their swn
price. Their purpose is SO transparent
that it can not be disguised.-HGsvas-
burg dRa.9 Patriot.
