Was rnis Man Mean or Not?

They got into Broadway cable car
together, and If he was not man who
had been playing heavy leads on far
western circuit and she the leading lady
of the same company and his wife can
tell nothing of character from dress or
faces. He looked exceedingly prosper
Gus, and the lady was also very stun
ningly got up, but it seemed to me
that the tone of her hair was a trifle
duller than it might have been and the
gold not quite red enough for the pre-
vailing mode. He handed the conductor
dollar bill and received back, OF
course, 80 cents in change Picking out
quarter, he dropped it aifily in the
pocket of his oyercoat; then softly jim.
Cling the rest in the hollow of his
tanned glove he said in genuine, deep
chest tones:
'You may have some use fer this
loose silver, my dear.
Thanks SO much, y said the lady.
with toss of her shimmering head.
I've plenty of change, thank you. !"
Now, what l want to know was-be-
cause couldn't help overhearing it
why did she put such circumilex ac-
cent on the word change? Why did she
emphasize the word change -italicize
the word. SO to speak? This incident
has worried me ever since, because do
not know whether the lady meant that
he ought to give her bills and keep the
change for himself, or whether, in fact,
she scorned the change, even though he
gave her the greater part of all the
money he had? The more you think
this question over the more its horrible
fascination will grow upon you. Was
he mean man, or wasn't he? Kew

FEW people appreciate the great
extent of Australia and the variety
of climate which it presupposes The
island continent contains 5000, 900
square miles, or as great an extent
as the United States without Alaska.
In some parts OF New South Wales
the climate is as cold as that OF Can
ada, and one town has no communi-
cation for four months except on
snowshoes. In northern Queensland
there is almost tropical luxuriance
of vegetation, and cane brakes -four
ish as In Jamaica. In western
Queensland the climate is dry and
the soil sandy. Long files Of camels
loaded with merchandise are COM
mon sight. Much of the interior Of
Australia is as yet little known, but
the vast capacities Of this continent
cannot fail to sustain an immense
population. At present Australia
has about as many people as lived in
the United States at the formation
of our Government one hundred
years ago.

IT is true as a general principle
that railroad company is liable for
injury to live stock from any un US
tiflable delay on its part. Yet the
Court of Civil Appeals Of Texas
holds, In the case of the Interna-
tioual and Great Northern Railroad
Company vs.. Richie, recently de-
cided that a party injured by delay
must not remain supine and inactive,
but must make reasonable exertions
to avert the loss and prevent the
damage to his property, and IL he
failed to do this, and the injury re-
suited by reason of his negligence, he
could not recover. But here the
court also holds that a shipper who
put his cattle into pens without food
or water, because that was the place
provided for them, when he was ex-
pecting promised cars at any hour In
the day, and was not informed that
they were not coming until the next
day until late in the afternoon, was
not blameable, and could recover the
damages sustained.

ANOTHER case of poisoning from
eating ice cream has been reported.
This time at Elizabeth, N. j., where,
it is said, nearly 100 persons have
been affected. So many OF these
cases have occurred that they have
ceased to be mysterious. In every
instance where examinations were
made by experts, IL has been found
that the trouble was due to careless
ness in making the cream. Either
unclean vessels were used or materi-
ais were employed in which putrefac-
tion had already commenced, or the
mixture had been allowed to stand in
an unwholesome cellar or other de-
pository before freezing. There is
chemical change which takes place
under certain conditions in milk
from which the cream is made. Un-
fortunately, these conditions are not
always understood by the persons
who are engaged In the manufacture
and sale of ice cream, and as a conse-
quence, people are poisoned every
season. The only remedy is for
Boards Of Health and other officials
to disseminate information bearing
upon this subject among those who
manufacture ice cream and have to
do with the handling OF milk, and to
follow this up by rigid inspection
of milk and ice cream making estab-
lishments.

Facts About Tomatoes.

The tomato Is a useful and whole
some vegetable which rarely figures
In statistics. 1t is not mentioned in
the last census. But this is the fault
of the census, not the tomato. The
tomato pack In 1889 was 70, $3.50, 1873
cans, which cost SO, 900, 600, and sold
for -, 000.0 600. This Is tidy little
industry, practically the work of the
last fifteen years. Canning only be-
gan twenty-five years ago, with sweet
corn In Maine and tomatoes some
years later. One. half the sweet corn
is still canned in Maine, and five
years ago 10, 200, 600 cans we're put
up yearly.
The tomato pack is three times as
large, but, like corn, 1t has increased
little Ia the last five to eight years.
The pack this year Is only 10 per cent.
larger than In 1883, and the increase

The question of the punish ment
OF children has been settled in a
novel way by a Larncd (Kan.) Judge,
as the following shows: Kay
Vaughan, aged IA years, pleaded
guilty to the charge of petty larceny
in Judge Van Divers court, and re-
ceived novel sentence. 1t was six
months attending the city schools,
and IL without an excuse he absents
himself from school he Is to be taken
into custody by the sheriff and incar-
cerated in the county Jail for the full
period named in the sentence.
There Is much In this decision that
will commend 1t To the public. 1t
provides for the proper education Of
wayward boys and girls, but 1t also
opens up another question that is
worthy OF thought How are the
different degrees of crlminality to be
decided and treated? In case OF a
particularly atrocious crime is the
culprit to be sentenced 10 school for
life or will the punishment simply be
changed from a school to a university
sentence? Is the time approaching
when Judge, after hearing all the
evidence, vii solemnly announce:
seven years Ia Yale?

They Can't Do without t.

Continental tavern keepers have a
lively appreciation of the average
Englishman's prowess as beef eater,
and govern themselves accordingly.
Roast beef and beefsteak occupy a
conspicuous place upon their bill of
fare.
A man who had travelled much in
Europe was lately questioned about
Antwerp by friend who was expect
ing to visit that city AS to hotels
and cafes, the experienced traveller
said:
aOne thing to be noticed is the
spelling of the word beefsteak. That
of itself will give you a clue to the
character of the eating houses. II
you prefer French cookery, look out
for a place where the outdoor sign,
or bill of fare, offers you 'biftek, or
bifstek. III you desire to try pure
ly Flemish cuisine, you may take
your choice of q multitude OF more
or less phonetic attempts at render
ing the name OF the great English
standby. Here are a few / copied
literally from signs and menus:
sBeefstec,' beaufsteeake,' 'beave-
steik, 'belfsteck, 'bafesteck,' 'beeve.
stcheck,' 'biffsteake,' and .beeafc-

Us 8 of Cottonseed.

While cottonseed has been fed to
cattle for many years, 1t is only with
in ten years that the hulls have been
utilized in that way. Long after
cottonseed oil became an important
article Of commerce the hulls contin-
ued to be burned. Last year about
400, 900 head of cattle were fattened
for the market on cottonseed hulls,
while 100, 900 mich cows were fed on
the same material.
Cottonseed oil in its manufacture
and uses may be considered a new in
dustry. Its growth In the last ten
or fifteen years has been enormous.
In 1880 there were forty cottonseed
mills, with an aggregate capital Of
$4,000 900. There are now 300 mills,
having combined capital of about
$50, 900, 900. At present about 1,5OO,-
900 tons of seed are annually used by
the mills. yielding to the farmers
about as, 100000 year for a prod
uct which, until recently, was re-
garded as waste material. The total
output is about 10000 barrels, or
go, 900, 600 gallons ofoil, 500, 900 tons
Of cottonseed meal, $50, 900 tons of
bulls and 30, 900, 900 pounds oflnters,
the aggregate value OF which will av-
erage about 100000, 900. The de-.
mand for oil is steadily expanding,
and as only about one-third of the
total cottonseed crop is now con-
sumed by the mills, there is practically
an unlimited room for the growth O.
the business.

The Country Home.

The home habit and the custom OF
conserving homes-in short, the love
OF home AID land---is the basis OF
public tranquility, prosperity, and
safety. Permanent homes for all the
people, and as many of those homes
in tie country as possible, are the
best instrumentalities for strengthen
ing and perpetuating popular govern.
ment. Love of home Is primary pa.
triotism. No conspiracies, 10 anarchy,
are evolved In the quiet homes OF
the country, and to them and the
sacred and sincere love of them the
friends of democratic government
must look for the preservation and
pcrpetuation of civil liberty In Amer.
lea. Only those who own and love
the domicile wherein they dwell will
properly conserve the republic. The
United States is the concrete of
homes of 65, 900, 900 of people. The
homes are the integral parts of the
American republic. 1t is made strong,
virtuous, and peri etual by the char
acter OF its homes, and, as the Indian
declared, with poetic pathos, The
land is our mother" 80 may the
republic declare the cultured home
its mother, and no republic can exist
and thrive except as the conservator
of all the homes of a cultivated, COM
Portable, and contented citizenship.
