The recent report to the effect that
the English market for American
cheese has been badly diminished by
the offering OF filled cheese" from this
country in English cities lends inter
est to n letter on the subject written
by Secretary Morton OF the Agricul-
tural Bureau few weeks ago. The
letter was n reply to a complaint that
he was not condemning the sale OF cleo
margarine as sharply as he ought. Mr.
Morton states that he has upon every
occasion denounced the sale OF any pro-
duct under any nomenclature other
than the honest one He declares In ia
vor Of honest. unauthorized American
products OF all sorts for both the home
and foreign markets. He says: II am
opposed TO the fraudulent representing
of an adultcrated article ms n pure ar

farm. factory on the merchant" This
that modern scientific investigation has
taught men how to utilize as valuable
food products much material that for
merly would have been allowed to go
TO waste, and that the placing OF these
before the public has tended to cheap
en- food in general to the masses. But
that fact forms no excuse for the palm
ing of OF fraud on the customer who
does not wish to eat the substitute, and
is able and willing to pay for what he
regards as the genuine article.

That Christian TX. OF Denmark.
whose Illness is at present causing
much anxiety, brings up his children in
the way they should go Is sufficiently
evidenced by the following anecdote:
One day at the dinner-table the young
Prince asked his father what was the
meaning OF word he had never heard
before. This word, "lusing," is the
Danish equivalent for our "box on the
ears" The king asked his son where
he had heard such word. The boy.
blushing to the roots Of his hair, con
fessed after little natural hesitation
that he had been out In the streets
amusing himself by ringing the bells
and then running away. But at one
door an angry porter rushed out and
shouted after him that he would give
him "lusing" II ever he did such a
thing again. When the prince had
finished his explanation. his father ex-
claimed, Every well. tomorrow you
shall go with me to that very house
and beg the porter's pardon for such
rudeness.' Accordingly, the next day
the king went with his much-abashed
son and made him apologize.

rests on a beautifully designed base
made of red jasper, the sides of which
are embellished with the coats of arms
