But he comes to the saloon first, and
stops in there. He owes a little ''score,"
which he pays All the dead-beats who
hang around pass the word that he has
money about him. They drop in crowd
around, and on one pretext or another get
him to ''treat the crowd" But the time
he comes out, IS of his money is gone.
He has lost that'$ But is he the only
one who has lOst-it2-. Let US see. When
he leaves the saloon. he takes opt his
memorandum of expenses amounting TO
SIP, In his purse there are now only

down by the amount of s.. He must let
the children's shoes 90 and tie groceries,
or the dry-goods or leave his rent I'M
paid. The grocer, the dry-goods .mer-
chant, the boot and shoe dealer and the
real-estate owner, among them, must
get SIS less than they would have re-
ceived if the saloon had been out of the
way.
This which is true for one mans ex-
penditures, is true proportionately for
tho Nation. You see it in the bare feet,
the fireless rooms, the pinched faces
and tattered clothing Of the families of
drinking men and the wretched tene-
ments where they live. All that means
that these people have not bought the
food and fuel, the shoes and dry-goods,
they would have bought, nor paid the
rent they would have paid if the money
had not been spent for liquor. In other
words. the grocer and the butcher, the
dry-goods dealer and the shoe dealer,
the coal merchant and the owner of real
estate have lost what the saloon has
got. What is called 'over-production'
is simply the withdrawal by the liquor
dealers of 81, 90, 900, 00o from the indus
tries of the Nation.
The farmers have the privilege Of
paying their part to the support and en-
richment of the saloon-keeper. They
help in the great enterprise, even if
they do not drink. How is that? Well,
every one knows that the sale of farm
products is painfully slow. While
women and children in tho city are
starving, the farmers of Illinois, Kan
sas and Dakota are lamenting over corn
crops that shake like Lebanon and
wheat-felds fair as the garden Of God.
II you could bring the surplus harvest
to the deficient stomac there would be
rejoicing at both ends of the line. 1t is
not mere question Of transportation.

Some Famous Railroaders.

There has been an even half dozen
great and famous practical railroad men
of the Northwest during the present
generation. They are: Merrill, of the
st. Paul; Newell, of the Lake Shore;
Hughitt, of the Northwestern; Clarke,
of the Illinois Central; Potter, of the
Burlington & Quincy, and McMullin, of
the Alton. They all began life as poor
men and worked through that hustle
period which is needful portion of
every successful life. Hughitt was
telegraph operator, but has lost his
cunning with the key. He is a good
operator now, under the old system, but
he has not had time to keep pace with
the Improvements in electricity. Mer-
rill was an expert in the matter of
track-laying. He never forgot his
speciality of early days. Newell COM
menced as chairman in an engineer
corps. but never was an expert in tri-
angulation until after much laborious
practice. Potter was an energetic fire.
man on the Iowa division of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy. The writer often
rode on the engine with him, for ''Old
Pot" was lover of boys and always
their friend. Marshall NJ. Kirkman,
comptroller of the Northwestern, is to-
day one of the best-posted railroad men
in the world, a:ad he is thorough West
ern man. Mr.. Kirkman is publicist
and is an accepted authority upon rail-
road matters all over the country.

for some years been recognized as one

foreign capital and enjoys the conf

The South and Central American
States doing business direct with Chi

are Chicago business men who attend to
the duties of their offices, like all Con-

Diplomatic Consuls receive stated
salary and are compelled to remit all
fees to the home government. They
also transact all business direct with
the Foreign Offices of the countries they
represent. Consular Agents and Vice.
Consuls, on the other hand, send their
reports to the Consals-General or Minis
tiers, and, in lieu of salar.-, retain the
fees of their Offices, which frequently
amount to more than the salaries of
diplomatic Consuls. Mr.. Henrotin, the
Belgian Consul, for example, according

Storing Apples.

A mistake too often made in this con-
nection is to place the apples in the
cellar too early in the season. After
continuous freezing weather sets in, no
place is as good as cellar for storing
apples; but they should be kept in an
open outb uilding after being barreled
until such weather arrives. Indeed,
apples often do we'll left entirely out of
doors, protected only by boards SO
placed over the barrels as to shed rain.
Apples may be subjected to some pretty
cold weather in this way with impunity
if the temperature is not so low as to
bring about hard freezing.
Perhaps more apples rot through too
early cellar confinement than suffer in
condition from exposure. 1t probable
that the keeping of fruit mainly depends
upon the temperature of the room,
whether it is a cellar or q place above
ground. A temperature just above
freezing is supposed to be the most IA
vorable. Dryness has been considered
essential if fruit is to be long preserved,
but there is question about this; even
moisture, when it tends to reduce the
temperature and keepit near the freez-
ing point without reaching it, may help
to arrest decay.-The Household.

THE CUT WORM.
A Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with the Spirit of Deviltry.

A Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with the Spirit of Deviltry.
The cut worm, we need not say, is a
destructive pest. There are several
species of them, and they feed not only
upon corn, but upon grasses and nearly
all our cereal crops. They receive their
name from their habit of cutting eff the
plant on which they feed. If, however,
they would only cut what they eat we
might bear with them. But seemingly
possessed of a real spirit of deviltry.
they cut off plant after plant apparently
for the fun of the thing. They are not
an imported insect. THEY hafe been
here from the first knowledge that white
men had of the continent. The birds
serve us good purpose in devouring
the cut worm. Plow the land in early
fall. and give the birds chance. 1t is
probable that whatever benefit comes
from blowing in the fall in the direction
of destroying the cut worm, is the re-
suit of giving the birds chance at
them, for it is said that the unprotected
Larvae will stand a temperature of thirty
degrees below zero. Hence there is not
much hope Of freezing them to death.
One writer advises that they be de-
stroyed by digging them out by hand.
Pretty tedious and difficult work, some
will say. Well, this writer says not.
He declares that it is by no means so
tedious procedure as would be thought
at first, as by passing along the corn
field early in the morning the cut stalk
will reveal the whereabouts of the night
marauder, which, by digging around the
stub. may soon be found and crushed.
AS this plan implies the loss Of at least
a single stalk to larva it would be very
we'll in planting to practice the advice
of the poet: 1.-TWO for the blackbird,
two for the crow; two for the cut worm,
and four to grow" This advice will be
all the more pertinent if the corn is to
be planted after late spring-plowed
greensward. This writer further says
that if our farmers will heed the above,
and give the go-by to all those quack
remedies which obtain annually an un-
merited place in our periodicals, such as
salt, plaster, etc. Though all fertilizers
which promote rapid growth are always
to be commended as aids in the work of
insect destruction), this cut-worm evil
will soon assume less Importance. The
Rural, however, does not agree with him
in his denunciation of salt. We believe
salt to be good thing.-Western Rural.

Especial Chicago Correspondence

Aside from The large seaport cities,
Chicago is the only point in the United
States in which the nations of the world
maintain regular Consular service.
This is the highest compliment which
foreign governments can pay to the
greatness and Importance of the West
ern metropolis; and that the compli-
ment is not unworthily bestowed is
proved by the fact that several of the
leading nations have found it necessary
to appoint Vice-Consuls in addition to
the regular Consuls, as the work of
their respective offices has grown be-
yond the control of one man.
Consuls are. in the first instance, COM
mercial agents who attend to matters of
import and export and certify to the
value of goods shipped from foreign
points to places in their native lands.
They alsS represent the interests of
their coIntrymen in courts of law, and,
If necessary, perform diplomatic duties.
Diplomatic Consuls are individuals of
affairs of the cities where they are To-
Gated. In case such city is seaport,
the Consul is expected to do the honors
whenever feet or man-of-war belong
ing to his country anchors in the harbor.
His rank is equal to that of a Captain in
the navy, and a Consul-General ranks
with Commodore.
In Chicago the social duties of Con-
sui are not onerous, but his share of
