Mr.. John NJ. Deering Of the board of
cattle commissioners, was a visitor at
the capitol, Wednesday. Mr.. Deering
says the commissioners are busy, as
usual, chasing up reported cases of
tuberculosis in cattle. He was on his
return home from Unity. where he
was called to investigate a case. He
found a COW affected and had her
killed.
MIR. Deering says that in the opinion
of the commissioners there is about
six per cent. infection of cattle in
Maine, estimates made to the contrary

of Is per cent. this. he says, he is con-
vinced was made on incomplete, or
rather on testimony too isolated.
Regarding the handling of tubercu-
losis tests, Mr.. Deering says he hopes
that provision will be made by the
LEGISLATURE whereby this can be under
the control of the commissioners. He
says this will make it cheaper for the
farmers While not prepared to set
price which he considers good one,he
feels assured that if some figure be
made a standard. it would be of great
saving to the farmers
Another feature he calls attention to,
and that is the virtue in having testers
under the supervision of the board.
Take any reported case, for instance.
II is customary to notify the commits
sioners, one of whom responds as
promptly as possible. If he finds the
case one demanding a thorough test,
.nd there are legitimate testers through
the State, one OF these may be notified
TO make the test. AS it now stands,
the testing is often placed in unrelia-
hle hands. The man called to make
the test is naturally looking for job,
and will test the animals. sometimes
where there is no call for it.
When asked what was the price

respect from his companions, who has
this power in marked degree. Every

man can with difficulty handle will
stand like lamb while he harnesses
and unharnesses him. The doves fly
around him, and in the woods the wild
birds apparently regard him as friend
and ally.
The most remarkable exhibition of
his power which has long been known
and commented ON by his friends, was
given the other day. A large and vi
cious rat was captured in Ahe stable in
one of those traps which permit of easy
ingress and no cgress The men who
were looking at the animal were afraid
to go near the trap, the animal showed
such terror, but the boy, when he be-
held the imprisoned creature, fearlessly

OF late years there has been con-
slant cry against Chinese cheap la
Dor. Whatever may have been the
price put upon Chinese labor when the
great railways Of the west were built by
these people, today it is evident to all
who have studied the question that
there is no such thing as Chinese
cheap labor. Chinese laundries charge
higher rates than domestic laundries.
Chinese laundrymen command higher
prices than laundresses of other nation
alities. A Chinaman earns ordinarily
from IS to $40 a week and his board
and lodging. The white or colored laun-
dress makes from 81 to $40 week
without board or lodging. The China
man works from O'Clock in the morn.
ing until 1 or 2 o'clock at night Some
times he washes, sometimes he starches,
sometimes he irons, but he is always at
it, not tireleas, but persevering in spite
of weariness and exhaustion. Other la
borers clamor for working day of
eight hours. The Chinaman patiently
works II, takes care of his relatives in
China, looks after his own poor in
America and pays his bills as he goes
along,
In the Chinese store $40 per week is
the lowest sum paid for man of all
work In Chinese restaurant the low
est wage paid to kitchen boy is $25
per month and board Chinese cooks
will not 90 to American families for
less than $40 per month, and they rare
ly ever stay for that sum. This, then,
is Chinese cheap labor-a cheap labor
of which ordinary people cannot avail
themselves. -"Tho Chinese of New
