before him was dyed in the wool, and
he never reads the newspapers-came
To town one day this week To buy some
sugar. His good wife was putting up
fruit and she needed about 10 pounds
of sweetness. The dialogue in the gro

Farmer-"What are you doing, young

Clerk" Waiting on you. Weighing
out your sugar"
Farmer" How much are you giving
me 2"
Clerk-"A dollars worth"
Farmer" Yes, | know; but how

Farmer-"Twenty-four Why it used
to be only fourteen"
Clerk" Yes, but Mckinley did it."

The Ice Cure.

About two years ago contributor to
The North American Review called at
tention to the hygienic value of refriger-
alton, and predicted that climatic fevers
would yet be cured in ice cooled hospi-
tails That prediction seems to have been
verified by an actual experiment. Ha-
vana papers publish circumstantial re-
ports from Santiago de Cuba where a
Spanish physician is treating, and in
variably curing, yellow fever patients in
a camera polar (polar chamber), i. e., in
a sanitarium reduced by means of ice
to temperature nearly 40 dogs. below
the average of the outdoor atmosphere.
The result appears plausible enough, and
the only puzzle seems why Yankee en-
terprise has not long ago acted upon the
hint that the first night frosts put stop to
the malarial disorders of our gulf states.

The news of the Governor of Vermont
having formally notified Secretary
Proctor of his intention to appoint him
to serve out the uneXpired term of Sen
ator Edmunds, when his resignation
takes effect November /, creates no
surprise, as it was only carrying out
what everybody had accepted several
months ago as certain to occur. Secre.
tary Proctor has ably administered the
affairs of the War Department, and
while everyone rejoices that he is to
occupy place that is more congenial
to him, there is a great deal more regret
than usually follows the retirement of
a member of the cabinet that he is to
lay down the War portfolio. Specula-
ton is rife as to who will succeed Sec
rotary Proctor in the cabinet, and many
names are being mentioned, among
them those of Ex-Governor Cheney, of
New Hampshire Senator Farwell and
ex-Representative Cannon, of Illinois ;
ex-senator Spooner, of Wisconsin ex.
Senator Malone, of Virginia Hon
Robert L. Lincoln, U. S. Minister to
England; ex-Representative McComas,
of Maryland ex-senator Ingalls,, of
Kansas, and Gen. Alger, of Michigan
There is nothing to base any reliable
prediction upon, so that everybody
may guess to their hearts content, and
talk up their favorite.

New Sugar Process.

1t is claimed that a new process has
recently been made in the manufacture
of sorghum sugar by which gum sub
stances may be eliminated from the sac
charine matter, and which will make
the cane yield from fifty TO seventy
pounds more sugar to the ton than it
has been doing. Professor Wiley, who
has been experimenting in this, says that
sorghum sugar will bring about three
cents pound and possibly four cents.
This will give the farmer more for his
product than anything else he can pro-
duce, and still leave a good profit to the
manufacturer.-New York Journal.

The OIL Test.

Oii
The squawbuck legislature has got
the people of Michigan into an awkward
insurance dilemma from which they can
be extricated only by great care and
patience. After several years of vain
efforts, a uniform fire insurance policy
was adopted by board of commissions
ers and that policy is now the only one
recognized by the courts of the state
The contract between insurers and in
sured is the policy adopted by this COM
mission. Now, as it happens, the test
for kerosene adopted in that uniform
policy is 40 degrees, or what is known
as the United States test. The squaw-
bucks passed law reducing the test
required for oil sold in this state, from
flash test of 100 degrees to a burning
test of 95 degrees, equal to flash test
of 1O5 degrees, or five degrees lower
than the United States test, on which
every fire insurance policy of the state
is based
The practical result of this legislation
is to make uncollectable insurance in
any case where it can be shown that
the fire originated from the use of oil
which is below the United States test
The burden of proof, of course, would
rest upon the insurance companies, and
in case of large insurers undoubtedly the
desire to get business might not incline
them to press the question. On the
other hand insurance companies are
laboring not to increase, but to decrease
their risks and they will not be likely
to encourage condition of affairs
which increases largely the risks they
carry. Common sense and ordinary
business policy teaches so much.
The danger is to small insurers. They
are the ones who are most likely to use
low test oil, because it is cheaper. They
loss and further, they are the ones
whom the insurance companies can
stand off or fight without greatly jeop-
ardizing their business. In their efforts
to give the people cheap oil the squaw-
bucks have played into the hands of the
Standard Oil Company and have put
the oil-using people of the state at least
temporarily into the hands of the insur-
ance companies.
There is an escape from the difficulty
by the adoption by the board of insur-
Nuhi al no
of form of rider to be attached to each
policy, giving the insured special per-
mission to use oil below the United
States test. Bat it is more than likely
that the insurance companies would
fight change to their manifest disad-
vantage. To yield now would destroy
their hope of ever getting the squaw-
buck law repealed. 1t should be noted
in this connection that the companies
cannot legally make the change in the
policies without action on the part of
the state board.
The best thing for the individual to do
is to take care that the oil he buys will
stand the United States test, and of
course in this matter he will have to
depend on the honesty of the person
from whom he purchases. The whole
affair is very serious mistake on the
part of the legislature; and nothing but
the best of good luck will prevent very
serious losses as the result of the ill
considered legislation.-Dctrou Tribune.
