Another Break in the senate.
L L l. l. = L l.

Another break in the Senate. This time
i, is Mr.. Paddock, Of Nebraska who is
moved 10 rise in his place and voice the grow
ing protest OF the great West. He tells the
author and friends of the Mckinley bill that
out in his part Of the country revision Of
the tariff means a reduction Of the tariff,
whenever possible. Mr.. Paddock through
out his public career has never been known
as much Of kicker" lie goes right along
in the party traces very quietly, and This time
he talks one way and votes another. like they
all CO.. But how long Will IT be before the
people of the West. in theiT own emphatic
way, will demand that their representatives
upon the floors OF Congress not only eX-
press their sentiments in good. strong. I'M
mistakable language, but that they vote
the way they are compelled 10 talk! 1t Is
greatly to be feared that some Of them Will
get 10 that point in the political highway
at the coming Congressional elections. If
some Of the tariff readers at Washington
keep on insisting, in the face of every. re-
hinder and protest, that revision Of the
tariff does not mean a reduction OF rates.
The people are thinking on this great sub
iect as they never did before. and this is
simply the secret Of the remarkable kind Of
talk that is heard almost every day on the
Republican side of the Senate. IL will be
something more than talk one of these days.

The close reader Of Texas papers has OBJ
served a aignrcant change IN the pas ten
years. which clearly shows the driit OF
Texas rural industries. Formerly there was
not weekly paper in North. West, or South
west Texas that did not bristle with adyer-
Using cuts Of lcng-hOrned cattle. giving the
marks and brands Of numberless ranchmen,
and the local columns of the same papers
were given largely 10 recording cattle sales
and the dOings of cattlemen. Then, also,
the live stock papeis Of this and other West
ern states were filed with similar eSag'
reratcd cuts Of brands, similar transfers
Of cattle and sheep and similar notices OF
drives, r0und-ups, etc. The daily papers
all he'd "cOw columns recounting the
latest personal and business dOings OF tne
"cattle larOns," enliyened occasionally
with descriptions Of gorgeous banquets ana
stories Of wild extravaganza on the part OF
COWBOYS or roll,cking cattle owners. Now
there are not dozen weekly papers even
/ i'm the extreme western part OF the STATE
that publish regularly live stock items; the
live stock papers are devoted 10 stock farm
ing and economical methods Of growing
grain, forage, etc, for stock feed; the daily
papers have nearly all found greater de.
mand from their readers for political ana
general news than Tor live STOCK literature
which of late years they had to substitute
| for live stock news; and the advertising
cuts of lOng-horn steers, with brands across
their sides, have almost entirely given place
to cuts of pure.bred hereford, short-horn,
holstein, p0lled-angus, and Jersey cattle
with long pedigrces and high-scoring rec
ords. cuts of purc-bred berkshire, poland
china. duroc-.Iersey and essex hogs, and even
cuts Of Plymouth Rock, Langshan, and Leg
horn fowls. This all goes 10 show that
Texas is changlng-indeed, has already
changed from a range TO farming coun-
try. with improved live stock as necessary
adjunct TO the farm. Tie weekly papers
now cantain five items Of big corn, wheat,
and fruit yields. or importations Of pure
bred cattle, sheep, swine, and horses, TO one
item OF range cattle transfer. Everywhere
the sign Of the pillow Is seen in the land, and
nowhere does the old-time scrub l0ng-horn

Getting Along on Half Allowance.

The ease with which Gov. Beaver of

and two crutches surprises almost

\. Tribune. In reply to a query on
this point the general tells a story:

No Longer an Experiment..

The higher education of woman, a:
1t is called is already. here. The eX-
pertinent, if so we may term it, is now
going on in many places and on a
scale of great magnitude Ii is set
tied for the time being, at least, that
their education is to be substantially
the same as that of young men. They
are receiving no quarter in the lists,
but are boldly competing with their
brothers for the prize of scholarship
and intellectual supremacy. All told,
there are today thousands OF girls
under collegiate instruction and con-
tending for scholastic degrees: and sta
tlstics show that they are strong in the
battle. 1t used to be prophesied that
women would loose the loveliest quail
tiles of womanhoOd in the strife and
pursuit. but the event has proved that
such baleful predictions were without
Justification. OF course it is so.
whether women compete with men in
trade and industry, in public life, in
platform debate, or in the realm of
knowledge and learning. they retain
and never lose or impair the charm
and the power of their womanhood.
The more they can do and know, the
more attractive they become to men,
and the more they dominate their af-
fections.
The only danger is that they will be
driven too hard because of their will
lingness, their spirit of emulation, and
their consciousness. They are so
eager to get ahead and to escape from
old-time conventional restraints that
they need rather to be curbed than
spurred. They will win the race more
surely if they make an easy start.

Everything on a Small Scale.

The third popularity. the small scale
of everything, is one that runs through
all things Japanese. The men are
small, the women are small, the ba-
bies are the tinieSt things | ever saw.
Their homes are apparently children's
play-houses, seldom over one story
high. and one is constantly knocking
ones head in passing through door.
Their tableware looks as though made
for dolls; the tea-cups are not over an
inch high and the teapot holds about
two ordinary American cups. 1t is
almost needless to add that thew have
narrow-gauge railways small locomo-
tives and cars and also small tire-en-
gines. In fact one may say that every
thing is small. except the kites and
prices they charge foreigners. The
former are sometimes huge affairs and
the latter prove that the japanese have
luXuriating imagination. | know

GOVERNMENT FOOD TESTS.
BAKING POWDER FACTS OF INTEREST TO Al

| BAKING POWDER FACTS OF INTEREST TO ALL.
The most important investigation in
its relation to the health of the public
through the quality of its food, that has
been undertaken by any government, is
that which has been in progress during
the past two years in the chemical dlvi-
sion of the Agricultural Department at
ID. g., as to the purity or adulteratlon OF
articles OF food, drinks and drugs found
for sale throughout the country.
The latest report gives the constituents
of all the baking powders analysed. The
cream of tartar powders comprise, pro-
badly two-thirds of all sold. The best OF
these are compounded from cream of
tartar, carbonate of soda and a small
portion of carbonate of ammonia. The
report quotes the highest authority,
showing that the ammonia adds to the
leavening power of the powder without
detracting from its healthfulness, while
it makes purer food, as it leaves no re-
siduum.
The purest powder is that which leaves
the least reslduum In the bread, and the
least residuum results from the powder
giving the largest amount of leavening
gas.
The comparative value or general use
fulness and purity of the cream of tartar
powders examined will, therefore, be seen
from the following figures given in the
report, showing the strength OF each.
The table shows the cubic inches of
leavening gas per ounce of each of the
powders named:

CuriositicS Of Chemicals.

Certain substances which are deadly
in their effects upon man can be taken
by animals with impunity. Horses
can take large quantities of anthony,
dogs of mercury goats of tobacco,
mice of hemlock and rabbits of bella
donna without injury. On the other
hand, dogs and eats are much more sus-
ceptible to The influence of chloroform
than man and are much sooner killed
by it. If this Invaluable anasthetic
had been tried first upon animals we
should probably have never enjoyed
its blessing, rs it would have been
found to be SO fatal that its discoveries
would have been afraid to test its eff
fects upon human beings. 1t is evil
dent, then, that an experiment upon
an animal can never be the means of
any certain deductions so far as man
is concerned. No scientist can ever
know when trying some new drug or
some new operation whether or not
when he comes to try it upon man the
effect will be the same Is that upon an
animal.

Tattooing the Body.

Iattooing is by no means confined
to the PolyueSians, but the 'dermal
art Is certainly carried by them to an
extent which is unequalcd bv any other
people. 1t perrades all the principal
groups of islands, and is practiced by
all classes. though to a greater extent
by the MarqueSans and New Zealand
ers than any others. BY the vast mum.
Der of them it is adopted simply as IA
personal ornament. though there are
some grounds for believing that the
tattoo may. in few cases and to a
small extent, be looked upon as n
badge of mourning or a memento of a
departed friend. Like everything
else in Polynesia. its origin is related
in 4 legend. which credits its inven-
ton to the gods and says it was first
practiced by the children of Taaroa,
their principal deity.
The sons of Taaroa and Apouvaru
were the gods of tattonin@. and their
images were kept in the temples of
those who practiced the art as a pro-
feSsion, and to them petitions are Of
fered that the figures might be hand
some, attract attention and otherwise
accomplish the ends for which they
submitted themselves To this painful
operation. The coloring matter was
the charcoal of tie candleunt mix.1
with oil. and the instrument used was
a needle made of tishbone. and \
thread which was drawn through the
SKIN. after which puncturinw the black
coIorn% matter was injected with in
struments made for the purpose. To
show any signs of suffering under the
operation is looked upon rs Disgrace
