A Philadelphia lawyer was seated

AN AMERICAN TRAIT.
Whatever Is Done Is with All the Energy
Possessed.


When E. S. Martin, in his comments
on This Busy World, described with
accuracy that intensity of energy and
excess of zeal which overturned the
Cornell crew and led to their inglorious
defeat, he pointed, says Harpers
Weekly, to a trait of American char
acter which must be estimated and
understood by anyone who undertakes
to set forth the existing conditions Of
American life and development. As
Mr.. Martin truthfally says: 1T has
been said of politics in this country that
it is war. In the intensity of business
competition there seems to be a grow.
ing sentiment that business is war;
This merely means that the American
pushes every principle to its ultimate
logical conclusion, but this is one of the
keynotes of American character.
1t may be good trait or a bad one.
but it is essentially and exclusively an
American trait. 1t is probably the out
come of those conditions of freedom
under which we struggle and conquer
or fall, but 1t exists in no other country.
In this country alone has the principle
of business competition been pushed tc
its utmost. Then, when the limit of
competition has been reached, a
struggle equally fierce has developed
the principle of combination, and pools,
and trusts, and syndicates, and traffic
agreements have shifted the scene and
scale and scope of the contest.
The principle extends alike to great
things and to small ones. We play the
game for all there is in it, whether the
game be politics or poker, railroad
management or college athletics. II
may wear us out, but it does not let us
rust out. 1t may interfere with our
growth in sweetness and light, but it
is not trait of weaklings and deca-
dents. Above all il is evolution, the
development of natural causes lying
down deep at the roots of our national
life. 1t is movement we have entered
on, to which we are fully committed,
and which we could not check if we
would.

nine, and was the father of seven sons
In him the architectural genius of the
family found its amplest expression,
and his mantle fell upon his youngest
son, Nathaniel. In Nathaniel the me-
chanical genius of the family is abund-
antly reproduced. From his earliest
youth his genius has made itself mani
fest. At the age of nine he was an excel
lent helmsman and at twelve he sailed
the Sprite to her first victory and won
prize. He graduated from the Insti-
tute of Technology, where he took
prizes in physics and mathematics.
After completing his education at the
institute in 1869 he went with the Cor
liss steam engine works in Providence,
where he remained for seven years and
gained thorough knowledge of en-
cheering. During this time he was
the designer for the Herreshoff COM
pany, in Bristol, and modelled most of
their sail and steam yachts. He also
sailed all the yachts at that time built
by the Herreshoffs in the races in
which they took part. In 1877 he went
to Bristol, where he devoted himself
exclusively to marine engineering. In
that year he brought out the famous
Herreshoff catamaran and secured pat-
ents on the new features that he had
invented. These boats made the fast
est time that has ever been accom-
plished by sailing vessel, one of them
on a certain occasion sailing twenty
one miles in an hour over a measured
course. Every engine that was used
by the Herreshoff company after 1875
was built from Nathaniels designs, and
he secured numerous patents upon in
ventions and improvements in engine
construction. At the same time the
study of yacht models was not neg
lected, and he was continually expert
menting with them. Among his earlier
boats was the Shadow, famous in her
day as prize winner in eastern wa
tiers. His later achievements are ia
miliar to everyone-The Wasp, Glori-
ana. Vigilant, and lastly, the Defender.
He has been equally successful in all
classes of boats

origin of the Jury Trial.

A recent English writer on trial by
jury says it was derived from Nor
mandy. But it existed in Iceland from
the earliest times, where the Normans
certainly did not introduce it. AS the
Ieelanders and the North Saxons were
practically the same people, it is hardly
open to question that their primitive
customs were as nearly identical as
their language.

FAMOUS BOAT BUILDER.

Nathaniel Greene Berreshon, Designer OF
the Yacht Defender.
Doubtless no man at the present mo-
ment stands more conspicuously before
the eyes of the American public than
Nathaniel Greene Herreshoff, man of
genius whose latest achievement, the
Defender, has eclipsed all his triumphs
of the past. Yet no man cares less for
the applause of the world or has shown
less disposition to faunt himself. He
is the.chief representative of family
that was famous in boat building more
than a century ago. His father was
Charles Frederick Herreshof, who died
three years since at the age of seventy

Terror of Sea Battle Described by Capt,

McGifin, of the Chen-Yuen.
Few people, even naval men, realize
what fighting on an ironclad really
means. Capt. McGiffin, who was ali officer
on board Chinese man-of-war at the
battle of theYula river, gives an English
exchange, however, a most vivid de-

that the din made by the impact of
heavy projectiles against the metal

In, its later machines, the De Laval Com
pany has practically abandoned the older
types Of separator construction and now
uses what is termed the "Alpha" process,
consisting of an interior device dividing
the milk in the revolving separator bowl.
1t is this new and improved "Alpha" pat
emit which the United States courts now
sustain and hold other machines to infringe
in the use Of bowl dividing appliances.
The subject thus becomes one of consider
able Importance TO users OF separators,
both those who may already be using some
possibly infringing machine, and those con-
templating the purchase Of separator.
1t is not definitely known how broad the
s cope Of the present decisions may be asre-
CARDS their immediate bearing upon the
manufactureuand use Of asserted infringing
machines other than the ones specific
ally sued upon in these actions, but it will
not be amiss for buyers to be careful In
this respect.
1t will be noted'that In the decisions rem
dered the user is held equally responsible
with themanufacturer, and in simple pro-
lection Of self interests any purchaser of
an appliance the subject Of pending litiga-
tion or likely to be involved in costly In
fringement proceedings should exercise
due caution.
Patent litigation has now become so
tedious and necessarily Of such long and
uncertain duration, in addition to the enor-
nous expense to which 1t subjects contest
ants, that many manufacturers are In a
moral sense at least criminally negligent In
their indifference to existing patent rights
possibly infringed by them, and are often
times enabled to continue sufficiently long

been experimenting at the Iowa station,
says one of the professors, with the Japa-
nese bean and southern cow pea for summer
feed to supplement failing pastures. These
crops both stand the drouth perfectly, and
the bean especially promises to be of value
in summer feeding. Both of these plants
are rich in protein. But for the latter half
of the summer season we perhaps have no
crop equal to sweet corn. For the winter
ration we are obliged to rely mainly on the
various by-products for the nitrogen COM
ponent. We feed gluten meal that costs us
$40 per ton at Ames and consider it cheap
food. 1T is twice as rich in fat and over
three times as rich in protein as pure corn.
And just at the present time cottonseed
meal is coming in from Texas, delivered in
central Iowa at $17 ton. These two pro-
ducts are the cheapest feeds on the market
at present prices. Both are rich in the pro-
tein elements and just what is needed to
balance our corn fodder.
Then, too, did it ever occur to you what
a difference it makes in the fertility anu
ultimate value Of your farm whether you
sell wheat, oats and corn or market your
crops in the shape of butter? Upon the
basis of eastern prices of commercial fer
tilizers we take from our farm fertilizing
material to the value of $8 S3 every time
we sell ton of clover hay, and s., SO in sell
ing ton Of corn, but can sell 5000 of cheese
and only remove $17.21 worth of fertilizing
material, or 1925 milk and only take 500
worth Of fertility away, or S4OO worth of
butter and only remove Sc cents worth of
fertilizing matter. Then, too, comes the
question Of transportation. To market
$4O0 worth Of butter in Chicago from GEN.
tral Iowa at the average price and present
freight rates will cost about $14, but to ship
$4OO worth Of corn at average price and
present rates will require three cars and
cost about $3.50. The present-day policy of
the farmer must be that of feeding the
grain and forage crops on the farm and
sending only condensed products to market.

CREAM SEPARATOR PATENTS.
Important DEGREES and InlunctlOns in Cen
trifugal Cream Separator Infringe
ment Litigation.

There have recently been several impor-
tant decisions in the United States courts
regarding centrifugal cream separator pat
ent rights, which are deserving of the at
tention of those interested In any way in
these machines.
On June IS, Judge Coxe sitting in the
United States circuit court for the northern
district of New York, at Canandaigua,
N. Y, granted decree, inclusive Of per-
petual injunction, sustaining the material
claims of the Won Bechtolsheim patent
better and commercially known as the
"Alpha" De Laval patent, in the suit of the
De Laval Separator Company, of New
York, against Samuel HOtchkiss, Of Della
ware county, N. Y, who had been making
and selling a cream separator with an in
terror bowl device, thus held to infringe the
-':Alpha" patent as charged by the De La
val Company.
Following this decision, Judge Wallace,
sitting in the United States court at SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, on August 20, granted an in
junction against John Houston, Of Hamden,
Delaware county, N. Y, an owner and
user Of one Of the so-called Hotchkiss sepa-
rators, which injunction restrains Houston
from the further use of such machine.
These decisions are of no little interest to
creamerymen and dairymen, and for that
matter to the public generally, since it is
maintained that the centrifugal cream sepa-
rator, which has already revolutionized the
existing conditions of the separation Of
cream from milk, is soon to be introduced
in form for household use, that we may
perhaps 'grind" the cream for our coffee
as we now do the coffee itself.
The centrifugal separator patents have
long been in litigation. The De Laval
Company was practically the pioneer in the
introduction of these machines, but of late
years various concerns previously making
gravity cream-setting appliances have
taken up the manufacture Of the centrifu-
gal machines as well. The De Laval Com
pany has bitterly resented this trespass
upon its claimed rights, and infringe
ment proceedings under its patents, in

What Constitutes Good Cheese.

In an address before the Vermont Dairy
mems Associatin, Mr.. G. A. Smith, one Of
the cheese instructors of New York, gave
the following points as to the essentials in
good cheese. There are a great many
ideas of what constitutes good cheese
People have different notions of what they
like, but there are few people but that like
good, silky cheese; cheese that when
you press it between your thumb and finger
you feel you have something there-it is
solid, but still smooth and silky. If it is
gritty between the thumb and finger good
many don't like it,--it is likely to become
sharp, and good many people don't like
sharp cheese. The majority of cheese
eaters want mild cheese. To obtain this
solid and silky texture, first cut the curd
when it is not too hard; if you allow your
curd to stand too long the action Of the
rennet is lost, and it is not so active in
driving the moisture out of the curd.1
Commence gradually stirring it; agitate
1t enough to keep it from settling together;
if it settles together you will have to break
it apart, and when you do that you lose the
fat. Keep stirring so that the curd grad
ually shrinks down, and continue it as you
increase the heat until it is shrunk down
to about the amount of dryness you want it,
and you have lost no fat. If you draw the
whey off the curd, when the acid first be-
gins to develop take the curd in your hands
and If it springs apart and don't stay to-
gether at all, then your curd shows it is
dry enough; or if you bite the curd and it
squesks between your teeth; that is the
way our mothers used to tell, by the
squeaking Of the curd.
Get the moisture out of the curd Tactic
acid is formed by the breaking up Of the
sugar and the quicker you get that out Of
the curd the quicker you get rid Of the ten
dency to acidity. You must retain the
amount of moisture you want, 36 and one
fourth in the hundred, then pile your curd
up and cut it up into convenient pieces to
handle and turn it over, and so gradually
work the moisture out; but don't let the
moisture collect on your pile Of curd or it
will develop acidity. To make the other
kind Of cheese-the hard and brittle kind
first let the curd get hard, and then put on
the heat rapidly. Tin that way the moist
ure is not assimilated into the body Of the
curd. If the curd is harsh the cheese will
be harsh. .-Fsrmers' Voice.

What to Feed.

One of the agricultural problems Of to-
day is how to raise more nitrogenous feed
on the farm. The Danes and Canadians
are furnishing the English consumer pork
that he willingly pays from 2 to 8 cents a
pound more than for our corn-fed pork, be-
cause it is better favored and grained on
account of more barley, peas and milk in
their ration. We can make as good quail
ity Of butter on corn, oats and hay as the
world affords. but we cannot make it as
cheaply as we ought, nor can we develop
