Revolution in the Oil Industry.

The refined oil, worth 81 gallon, is
largely used for food. One-half the
whole product, or 100000 barrels, is
used In the four great centers of the
industry, Chicago, Kansas City, ST..
Louis and Omaha, for making lard I;
half the remainder is sent to Holland
for making bogus butter, and the rest
of the product is used at home, or sent
abroad to other localities for the same
use or for filling cheese. Some of it
appears on the tables as refined olive
oil for use in salads, and some is used
for the preparation of the popular
Saratoga potatoes. Thus, for small
and great uses this new product is en-
tering into almost every opening that
can be made for it by the withdrawal
of other oils or fats. 1t is curious to
note the effects of this new product.
1t has wholly changed the manner of
making pork, from the production of
heavy pigs to light, small ones, for
thin, lean meat, and no use for the
inside fat. 1t has greatly restricted
the sale of butter, especially the lower
qualities of it, and changed to large
extent the manner OF making cheese,
obliterating to serious degree the
market for pure dairy goods, and, in
the end, causing what Is called in the
parlance of the marketment, the great
slump in the value of cheese. 1t has
led to the destruction of the olive
groves in great part. 1t has changed
the destination of tallow from its use
as n material for soap aud lubricant
to its use as butter, and the material
for making oleomrgarine, and it sheds
light upon the studies of the student
who is in the habit Of burning the
midnight oil, formerly derived from
the sperm whale. Thus the world
changes, and we change with il. -

Learn 10 Listen.

If the reader will listen to any
heated debate, he will almost certainly
find that neither of the disputants is
making the slightest effort to recog-
nize the force of his opponents argu-
ments; but each is only watching for
something in the others words that he
can criticise, some weak spot that he
can assail. That sort of thing may be
all very well for soldiers on the field
of battle, or for lawyers before the
bar, but it is altogether unworthy of
intelligent men in discussing the
eternal verities. Every man should
realize that as his own knowledge of
spiritual truth is necessarily imper-
feet, it is altogether likely that he can
learn some thing from the man who
differs from him most radically, and
that it is far better to learn what he
can from that man than to waste time
and make sacrifice of good-fellowship
by aimless controversy. That seems
very simple proposition, and yet all
the bitter controversies and religious
prosecutions of the past, and all the
doctrinal disputes of the present are
due to the failure of men generally to
see the truth that each can learn
something from the other, but that no
man can convince another against his
will.
1t is not the most fluent talker, moi
the most plausible debater who gives
the greatest proof OF intelligence, but
the man who is always ready to listen
and to learn. New York Witness.

One of the greatest mistakes about

beef; but, while the beef is easily di-
I gested, and thus of vast service, the
cheese is put out of court altogether
for some folk by reason of its difficult
digestibility.

Too Much Thistle.

Western farmers find that individual
attempts at fighting the Russian
thistle avail nothing, because the
plague grows again faster than the in.
dividual farmer can find time to hos
it down, SO they all unite as often as
convenient to have "hoeing bees" in
designated localities. The details Of
operations are settled by the town
councils, everyone in the neighbor
hood takes day off to fight thistles,
and in this way it is possible to make
at least some stand against the per,
severing plague aud to keep some sec.
tions fairly tree for other than thistle
crops. Some day science will find the
thistle useful and then it will immedia
tely become delicate, difficult to raise
and scarce.

A Lazy Man,s Labor Lightened.

He can be seen at Longport, near
Atlantic City, N. j., and is probably
as lazy as any amateur fisherman that
ever baited hook or hooked bait He
was seen the other day with three
lines in tho water. He was catching
as many fish as the others with consid-
erably less effort The lines of this
ingenious individual were fastened to
small pieces of umbrella ribs about
twelve inches long. About one inch
from the end of the wires were fast
ened small sleigh bells. When he cast
the line into the water he drew it taut
and then stuck the wires into the
ground. When a fish would nibble at
the bait the bell would jingle and thus
draw the attention of the fisherman to
the line. 1t is beautiful. The old
man drops his fish line, and when
they call on him they ring bell. lie
is not obliged to think, everything is
SO comfortable about him.

Oklahomn,s Dog Killer.

Down in Oklahoma they have many
queer ways and queer things. The
way they dispose of outlawed dogs
would cause q citizen of Kansas City,
who is used to the comparatively
peaceful ways of tho dog catcher
and his moose and profanity, o
shock. They have neither wagon
nor moose in Oklahoma cities,
but they have few stray ours which
have forfeited their right to live be-
cause they have no master. -........
Not long ago a Kansas City man
stood on one of the principal streets
of a bustling town, looking up and
down and figuring on the tablet of his
mind future great city, when up the
street he heard the report of gun
and saw a crowd of people run in
every direction.
''Ahw he thought, ga tragedy.
What luck" For your ordinary
peaceful citizen likes nothing better
than the stimulus of shock of that
kind when in country with a reputa.
tion for desperate deeds and men.
Standing in the street was a small
man holding a smoking shotgun, and
writhing upon the ground was big
yellow dog. Another shot and the
dog was dead Then the crowd
swarmed in, and the man with the gun
wormed his way out, followed by a
crowd of adoring small boys. 1t was
the city dog catcher. No moose and
long torture for dogs in that town.
The city executioner just loads up his
gun and goes out and cancels dog or
two, and then collects a salary from
the town. kansas City Star.

The new impulse lately given. to
gold mining has brought new life into
many deserted towns and abandoned
camps in the West One OF the most
notable of these resurrections-reviyal
does not accurately describe the situa.
tion-is in the case of the camp of
Florence, Idaho. In 1861 this camp
had population of 10000 people,
with banks, saloons. hotels and every.
thing that goes TO the making of a
city. 1t was placer camp. and gold
was plentiful as gravel, while it lasted.
But it didn't last long, and in those
bonanza days miners would not stay
to work quartz. So the population
deserted Florence as quickly as it
came. and for many years the town
was absolutely deserted, and as much
ruin as ancient Carthage. Recently
several good quartz lodges have been
discovered at the old camp, and Flor.
enee is building up again.

The common cotton tail rabbit ap.
pears to be continually pushing its
way northward and replacing the
Northern hare. Mr.. Bangs finds that
the latter is rare in Massachusetts,.
has almost wholly disappeared from
mary parts of New Hampshire, though
1t still abounds in Maine, New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia. He accounts
for the spread of the cotton tail to the
northward as the result of the de.
struction of the pine and spruce for
ests which are replaced by a scrubby
second growth of shrubs. "The hare
goes into the ooniferous forests and
the cotton tail comes in with the sec.
ond growth"
