In a recens interview. the Rev.
Edward Everett Hale of Boston. well
known as IN author and sociologist,
delivered himself of the following
opinions:
1T is not necessary for me to go into
an elaborate discussion Of this subject ;
but it seems very plain to me that relief
from labor troubles lies in the Southern
States. II, instead of importing foreign
pauper labor to work in our mills and
along our great enterprises of all sorts,
we would seek laborers among the
thousands of unemployed negroes down
South. a most beneficial change would
be instituted in the United States. In
the first place. hundreds and thousands
OF undesirable immigrants would be
kept out Of the country, which would
be greatly benefited thereby, and
secondly, employment and wages would
be given to many of the coIored citi-
zens. who, under the present regime are
unable to get work of any kind"

DIRECTUM, THE STALLION KING.
 England Trotting Horse Brccicrs' asso- citation at Mystic park, Boston, this month. Tho race Is for BIO stalliOns. and of tho seven eligible candidatcs-Dirac- tum, 2:O5I+; Arion, 2:O79.; Nelson. 2:O9. Krrmlin, 2:O734; Moquettc, 2:lO; Stam- boul, 2:O7I:, and Allcrton, 2:O9if-Ihr,c- tum, Arion, Krcmlin and Nelson will prob ably contest for tho tempting purse. Of tho seven, five have at one time or another been crowned king of stalliuns. In IS91 Nelson, with his new mark of 2:iu7s, was tho monarch of his sex. and it was said his owner refused to sell him fur SIOO, GOO. A year later AllCrtOn cut tho rccorl to an even 2:l0, which was soun equalcd by Nelson, and then Allcrton took n nrmcr hold on the crown by step ping n mile in 2:O9i4, his present record.
 Later the same year Palo Alto rIbbrd Allcrton of his hard earned laurUls by negotiating a milo in 2:0SI. In 1899 Palo Alto died, leaving Allcrtun the fastest living stallion, but AllcrtOn had alrrady shot his bolt and was not in cvidcncG when krcmlin and Stamboul began thei< exciting struggle for royal honOrs DgEl
 the year the staihUm crown Ois i1Cld first by one and then by the other, but the year closed with Stamboul, 2:O7ls, in posses sion of the honors.
 In 1895 Dircctum, tho black whiTl- wind of tho turf" began his regal CarCcr, and each time he went against the stallion record hc topped of from quarter to a full second and ended his sensational sea son in Il blaze of glory with n world $ mark for his sex of 2:O5tf, which still stands as tho best timc for truttinG stal- lions.

How to Remove cindcr. From the Eye.

When travelling. always carry tiny box of fiaxseed for possible cinders. The instant q fUreign substance is felt in the eye throw the head back and drop two or three flaxScCds on the ball of the eye and lift the upper lid and draw il down over them. So as to hold them in. There is no disagreeahlc sensation attached to putting the sced in, and the relief will come instantly. The moisture of the eye dampCns the seed, and it gives out a mucous substance, which spreads over the eye and covers the grit After awhile the sCrds will ls.in tO work ont and will bring tho offending particle with them.

DISEASE GERMS IN MILK.
How They May Ee Killed Ly Pasteurizinl
 the Fluid.

How They May Ie Killed Ey Pasteurizing
 the Fluid.
 The simplest way to pGsteuriZe milk Is to place it first ill clean bottles. Then put the bottles into large kettle or other metal receptacle. Pour cold water into the kettle until the water reaches tho level of the milk ill the bottles. Now close the mouth of each bottle with plug Cf clean white cotton fiber. Heat the kettle and contents to 105 de- grccs r. Then remove from tho fire and cover the whole affair snugly with a woclen cloth to keep from cooling at once Leave half an hour. then take out the bottles and keep them in running water or ill any cool place, leaving them still stopped with the plug of cotton.
 The flexible wooden shoppers used with some kinds of patent glass jars would answer in place of cotton, the object being to exclude air, dust and germs. Be careful not to heat above 155 degrees, or the milk will not taste quite right. In practice it will be found a good idea to make easier the circulation of the hot water by placing a wire framo an inch or two in height ill the kettle beneath the bottles.
 Milk carefully treated by the above process may be warranted free from disease germs, and it will keep sweet about 2l hours. Many a milkman could get up fancy trade at advanced prices on milk treated ill this way. For ship ping milk long distances none of the methods. except by icing, has been yet sufficiently tested to be recommended. -M;:Ssa achuSctts Ploughman.

 wrested from him, however, by Robert J, the king of paccrs, who recently covered n mile in a race in 2:O21z and still moro TO gently stepped the distance in 2:O1I4.
 krcmlin, the ex-stallion king, is by Lord Russell, brother of the cx-turf queen Maud s, EOS, and is out of Evcntidc, whose grandsirc was Rysdyk's Hamhlctonian. He was foalcd in 1887, and with his mark of 2:O1A was the greatest race horse of 1893 Last year, when DircCtum was chipping such largo sections of time from the stallion record, krCmlin was in the stud He Is showing grcat speed this year, and Trainer Ed Either has driven him n number of miles under 2:l0. He Is owned by William Russell Allen of Pittsfleld, Mass.
 Arion, the sl25, 900 beauty, the highest priced trottcr in the turf's history, is owned by Malcolm W. Forbes, the rich Bostonian, who paid SIO, 900 for Nancy Hanks, who was crowned queen of trUttcrs Sept. 2s, lS92, at Tcrrc Haute. AriOn, like Directum, his mighty rival, is years old. He Is by Elcctionccr, the famous Palo Alto sire, and out of Manette, hy Nutwood. As q 2-year-old Arion, driven by Trainer Charles Marvin, trotted n mile in the rcc- ord breaking time for tho age of 2:lO4 and was the sensational performer of 1891. Ho was then regarded as such proinls- ing colt that. MT. Forbes paid Senator Stamford $l25, 900 for him. As a Swear old Arion reduced his record to s:lo1s, but did not win a race Last season AriOn won with case Tho Spirit of the Times s11 1000 purse for 4-ycar- olds in Chicago and later reduced his record to 2:07A. He is being handled this year by Trainer Budd Doblc, who believes that tho great son of Elcctioncer is Dircctum's most formidable rival.
 The first stallion king was Ethan Al len, who captured the honor Oct. 2s, 1858, in Q raco with George NJ. Patchcn. Tho time was 2:2S, and Patchcn was distanced. In tho 90 years that have passed since that memorable race tho stallion record has bcen lowered 2ss5 seconds.

II once witnessed an interesting but peculiar spectacle in animal life, but one which I nave never been able to ac- count for. " remarked Abraham I. Civ ems of Brenham, Tex. II was going home just at niGhtfall over a sandy road when l noticed directly ill front of nc what appeared to be a long line of green ribbon about Onc-half an inch thick. stopped to examine it, and to my aston ishmeut found that it was n procession of ants marching three or four abreast i'll very close order, each ono carrying a little piece of green leaf. The effect was a continuous line of green without any break. l went back to find the begin ming, but as it issued from the grass at the roadside 1 was unable to trace it farther inthat direction. I then follow ed it for several rods until it entered tho grass on the other side and was lost to sight. Whether it was Palm Sunday or St Patrick's day with the ants or some political jubilee they were cele, brating has always remained a mystery to me. ''-St. Louis Globe Democrat
