AN exchange says ''e" is the most
unfortunate letter in the alphabet, be-
cause it is never in cash, always In
debt and never out of danger. Our
exchange forgets that the aforesaid
letter is never in war but always In
peace. It's the beginning of existence,
the commencement of ease and the end
of trouble. Without it there would
be no bread, no meat, no water, no
life, no gospel, no redemption.

THE fact that Spain has spent $780,
900, 900 on the Cuban war and has prac-
tically nothing to show for it; looks
like gigantic piece of folly, but, as
the Kansas City Journal says, it is
really small matter compared to the
piling up by the Cleveland admins
tration of an Indebtedness three or
four times that large, with nothing
whatever to show for it.

Issue in Missouri. Senator Brown, in
Utah. will be compelled to face his
record in declining to act with his col
league, Senator Cannon, in voting
against protection until free silver
ahould be given by the Republican
party.
In New York, Illinois, Indiana, and
Wisconsin the Republicans claim that
they will be able to change the politi-
cal complexion of the Senators so far
as this years elections are concerned,
and numerous candidates are already
conducting campaigns designed to Sc
cure the support Of the Legislatures.
It is believed that the Democrats in
North Carolina will be able to regain
control of the Legislature and select a
Democratic successor to Senator
Pritchard. The same result is proba-
bic as regards Senator Brown in Utah.

Respect For a Mothcr.in-law.

A lady not long since received a alessou on the subject of proper feeling for her mother-in-law which will last her long time. Her husbands family were very affectionate toward one another-loved one another with even more than the or. dinary devotion of close kindred. It may or may not be to tho point to mention that they also liked great wakes. we'd dings and christenings.
 The husbands mother died in course of time at good old age. He and his wife had saved little money against the contingency of his being without work in cold weather, when the bod car. ryins business is dull. In his big gust of grief over the sad event, the husband re. solved to spend every cent of that money in giving his departed maternal relative a grand funeral. Nothing was too good for her. Food for his wife and baby, keeping the wolf from the door in cold weather, when members of his profes- sion were mostly on their uppers, was as nothing. \ great funeral and an ele- gant wake the old lady must have. His brothers and sisters were richer than he and needed no help from him in interring the good dame in proper, even fashiona- ble, style. But no! The affectionate son whose profession was not prosperous in cold weather would have none of that. He would never feel that he had done his duty by the old lady unless he put that S25 into grand wake.
 Unfortunately at this point there was a difference of opinion between him and his wife. She ventured to hint that she and the baby needed the money more than his mother did. especially as the old lady's other children were quite able and willing to provide wake that would drown the sorrows of the most afflicted and bereft family in the state. He in. dignantly repudiated the idea and re. preached her with cold heartedness and want of feeling for her departed mother in-law. But she insisted, unfortunately for her own sake.
 Then the grief stricken son fell upon her and gave her such beating that she did not get over it in two weeks. "Ill teach you,' said he as he n.auled her black and blue, ito show disrespect to my mother, and she dead and in her cof. fin and looking to all her children to give her an elegant wake. Next time your mother-in-law dies you'll know how to have proper feeling fhr her."

By the close of the summer great work will be completed on the Colorado Midland railway, 15 miles west of Lead vile. It is tunnel through the Rocky mountains, over two miles above sea level. In crossing the Rocky mountains at Hagerman pass the trains were great ly hindered by snowfalls. To obviate the trouble and shorten the line as well it was resolved to tunnel through tae mountain at the pass. The tunnel is called the Busk-Ivanhoc, from Busk, a little town at its eastern entrance, and Ivanhoe, tbe station at the western ap. proach. It will be nearly two miles in length and will cost over sl.00O,0Oo. At intervals of 30 feet will be brilliant cleo. tric lights. Every 24 hours 200 pounds of giant powder are used in the blasting processes. One equipment of this great tunnel shows the difficulty the plucky northwesterner has in overcoming na- ture's obstacles. At each entrance to tho passage will be set doors to close in case of immense snowdrifts. Watch men will be present to open and shut the doors at the approach of trains. and to provide further against the ravages of the frost the tunnel will be heated by steam to distance of several hundred feet at each end The Dusk-Ivanhoe is the third longest tunnel in the United States.

RuInfOrd Inn.

In the Anthropological building of the Worlds fair, and in connection with the departments of hygiene and sanitation, is Rumford inn, an exhibition of scien- tiAc cookery at small expense, whether for persons of large or small means. The establishment is under Massachusetts auspices. and its head is Mrs. Ellen H. Richards. professor of chemistry in the Boston Institute of Technology.
 It appears as part of the Massachu- setts exhibit at the Worlds fair. Scien- ti6c people and those who read the signs of the times are of opinion that the days of millions of little kitchens and cooking stoves in the large cities of the country arc well nigh numbered and that more and more people will buy their food ready cooked from central supply kitch- ems. It is to demonstrate the feasibility of such central food supply stations that Mrs. Richards has started Rumford inn. Lunches will be served at small price to visitors. The object of the exhibit is to show how cheaply and at the same time how well families can live simply by accepting the results worked out by skiliful food chemists. The cost of diff ferent foods, their relative amounts of nutrition and the best methods of cook ing them have all been determined by science.
 In Boston and New York already sup. ply kitchens have been in operation for several years in some of the poorer local ities of these cities. They have done we'll financially as soon as their merits became known. There ought to besuch establishments in every city. They could thrive. The only requisite would be that they should be conducted on the Boston plan--frst class plain food at a moderate price.

Where Does tho Farmer Come tn9

In New York state, within radius of 100 miles of the metropolis, agricultur- ists have mostly left off making butter and cheese and instead sell the milk from their farms for consumption in New York city. They haul the fluid in wagons twice day to the nearest sta tion. There an icehouse and receiving house have been built by the milk com pany. The company takes charge of the product, aevates and cools it and next morning ships it to New York. The company likewise keeps smooth tongued agents travelling through the milk districts toinduce more farm wom- en folk to sell milk to this organization that will pay spot cash for it, thus say. ing the ladies labor in the work of mak- ing butter and chesse. The farmers that have gone into the milk supply business have no pigs or calves on their places. They cannot afford to raise them. They buy pork and knock the calves in the head. They are under contract to sup ply so much milk every month the year around.
 The farmer of course gets well paid for sending all the milk away and occa- sionally cutting off the homo supply? We'll. at this time of year he gets l., cents quart for it, hauling it in some cases three miles to station. In Sep tember he will get 9 cents. In mid winter he will receive 8 cents-the highest price he ever gets. In the city the price is and 10 cents quart the year around. Does the farmer pocket any of this profit and is it Q cooperative organization of farmers that constitute the company We'll. no. to both ques- tions. The profits go to tho persons who used their native born shrewdness to start this great milk monopoly. Why did not tho farmers organize it them- selves? We don't know.

What College Women A.. Doing.

What College Women A.c Doing.
 What becomes of the college bred womanr Lida Rose McCabe undertakes toanswer this question, at least partially, in paper read before the worlds edu- cational congress. She remarks incl. dentally that public opinion expects tho actual results of women's higher educa- tion to be summed up in the dollars and cents they earn after leaving college. Public opinion is right. The dollar stand ard is not such bad one in estimating the really useful results of any enter prise or experiment. The person who is not able to earn his or her own living and more is very poor stick indeed.
 Miss McCabe tells us that at least fourth of the girls who go to college go with the object of becoming teachers in the higher branches In this capacity they are in great demand. particularly in the hundreds of high schools which are preparatory to the regular college. A number of women have reached the highest rank of pedagogy, being profess ors in colleges and universities on equal terms with men. Among these are men. tioned Alice Freeman Palmer, professor of English history in the university of Chicago. and Abby Leach. who is Greek professor in the Leland Stanford, Jr university.
 As with men, however, teaching is coming to be with the college woman a stepping stone to other work. This has in some cases taken the direction of i'm portant special research. The best known scientific special worker among the college bred women is perhaps Mrs, Ellen Richards of the Boston Institute of Technology. Her labors have been in the field of chemistry, particularly that pertaining to practical and useful branches. Some of her special papers are: "The Naphtha Process For Clean ing Wool" "A New and Ready Method For the Estimation of Nickel In Pyr.  rhqtites and Mates" "Adulteration of Groceries"
 Mrs. Richards is distinguished in Flu. rope and America for her admirable re- searches on food and food preparation. Mrs. Christine Ladd Franklin of Johns Hopkins university has made speciality of mathematical inyestipation aa eyi denced by her papers on ''The Pascal Hexagram," "A Method For the Experi- mental Determination of the Horopter." |" etc.
 Hundreds of college bred women be come physicians, a rather smaller num- Der drift into journalism. a still smaller number into business careers. But wherever they go they succeed shiningly and fully demonstrate the reason for be- tng of the college bred woman.

Elecirical Housekeeping.

The twentieth century will certainly bring good time to housekeepers In. ventions already devised foreshadow it. One of these inventions is the electrical oven, which is ahead even of Mir. Ed ward Atkinson's far famed Aladdin oven. The electrical range is polished brilliant ly on the outside and does not heat up externally, making it the right thing for summer. Its inner surface is packed with asbestus to keep the heat within and temper it to the steady, gentle glow required for baking or roasting. The result is more like that produced by the ancient Dutch oven than can be ob. tained by anything devised since the cooking stove came in. For broiling, frying, stewing, etc, each utensil has it's own electrical arrangement. It is placed upon the top of the range and the cur rent simply turned on. A dinner of many courses can be cooked to per. lection, with no dust. ashes, coal, worry or poking the fire.
 Electric heaters fill the mansion with 8 gentle warmth in winter. The touch of button floods it with light at night. fall. If madam fancies she hears q man in the room after all have retired, she touches button beside her bed. and. To! brightness as of dayligh, pervades the gloom, and if the man is there he wishes he had been hanged ere he ventured into twentieth century residence. In the morning another button is touched. and the breakfast is started to cooking while those who are to eat it are yet in bed.
