of Truth-How Bennett Captured the
Markets of the World.

Free traders have been very joyful
over an increase in our exports OF
American manufactured goods. AS long
as this is not brought about by the
sacrifice Of our home market it is, in
deed, an encouraging sign. Last year,
1895, we sold in foreign countries $685.
35l 1902 more of our manufactures than
In 1894. This includes an increase OF
81, 249,971 in our exports of mineral
only $9,101, 1891 of increase for all 9TH
err manufactures exported. But the
larger value of our mineral oil exports
has been Of no value to American labor
because 1t represented shipments OF A.
114,075 gallons less oil in 1895 than in
1894 The refining or manufacturing OF
$4,000, 900 gallons less oil for export has
deprived labor of work. The increase
lie value merely represents an increase
in the profits of the oil combine, which
advanced the price Of oil so sharply
last year. 1t did no good to American
labor. Our labor suffered through hav-
ing less oil to refine or manufacture,
and our labor also suffered through
having to pay more money for oil when
earning lower wages.
Excepting the oil exports, we have
SO, 101, 1871 worth more of American
manufactures shipped abroad last year
than in 1894. Against this we must set
the increase in our imports of foreign
manufactures, thus leaving the follow
ing exhibit:

Getting Back Feed.-When we feed
a ton of bran to a fattening steer al
ready fully grown we get back almost
all the mineral matter and nitrogen in
the manure. When we feed this same
bran to a cow in full flow of milk. we
get back about seventy-five per cent
of all the mineral matters and nitro
gen. Provided. in all cases. We save all
the liquid excrement. II these are
wasted, most of the nitrogen and pot
ash are lost. The phosphoric acid only
for the most part passes off in the solid
excrement. Let no more speak against
the great value of manure made from
bran or any other food for that mat
ter, until he has carefully saved both
the solid and liquid portions.-W. A.

Borax In England.-We notice that
some Of the foreign writer's are joining
issues in favor Of allowing borax to
be used in all the small cities for the
preservation of milk. One man makes
a point, as he thinks, in favor Of the
preservative. He says that the London
milkmen have been using 1t for TWEEN
ty years and 1t cannot be proved that
1t has killed anyone. He tells of one
family that has used milk thus doc
tored to such an extent that each per-
son got in winter eight grains Of borax
and in summer twelve grains and yet
did not die. This Is far from the point.
The chief effects Is on the infants and
invalids, where the digestibilIty Of food
counts for great deal, often amount
ing to a question Of life or death.

Why She Was Convinced the Man

Notwithstanding she was not a dame of
high degree. she was woman of character,
and there was peculiar aggressiveness in
the freckle on her nose, which made the
police officers on duty at the station house
step around lively when she called on a.
matter Of business.

that there's the body of man waiting to
be identified here"
"It is at the morgue, ma am" responded
the sergeant. but with more suavity than
is common.
Well my husband hasn't been at home
for three days, and I thought it might be
him. Can you tell me what he looks like?"
Yes; but you could get a good deal more
satisfaction by going to the morgue your
self, ma'am.

felt sure she would not identify the re-
mains as those of her husband. WAS he
killed?'
'Oh. no a'am." exclaimed the sergeant
He died suddenly. The patrolman saw
him fall on the street."
Died sudden, did he?" she asked with
interest.

Her tone indicated that she thought the
police were to blame in some way

Attitude of the Equal Sunraxist.
Compared With Their Opponentn.
Rachel Foster Avery has written to The
Star as follows:
Much Is said of the movement toward
equality Of political rights for women with
their brothers, as being an attempt to SET
men and women against each other. This
is view held only by those outside of the
movement and who fail to comprehend its
true meaning.
''To those who stand prominently identi-
fed with this great cause it is sacred as the
freedom for which our forefathers and fore
mothers sacrificed so much-in fact. to
many of US 1t seems even broader in its in
olusiveness because it affects one entire half
of the human race the world over.
whoever has read the history of the
stage. no matter what may be his or her
attitude toward it as an educator Of the
present day, cannot fail to admit that 1t
has now higher standing both morally
and artistically tran in the times when
men alone occupied the boards. Then no
one was surprised at delay once in the
production of Romeo and Juliet when the
explanation was made from behind the
footlights to his majesty, who was present,
that the play would proceed as soon as
juliet was shaved Think of Shakespeare's
dainty heroine personified by man!
In so many ways, both amusing and pro-
upon to represent women that 1t is diff
cult for them to realize any possible ad-
vantage to be derived from listening to the

herself, but just as certainly as do the

Both were candidates for a small county
hustiers for anything they were after.
They were making house-to-house can
vass. which was necessary at that time
owing to the sparse populat ton, and while
they endeavored to work in different sec
uons, they frequently found themselves In
the same neighborhood at the same time.
The occurrence which refer to was at
farm about mile distant from the viii
lage where both candidates were to speak
the following day. The candidates kept
their eyes pretty well on each other dur
ing the early part of the day, but during
the afternoon they started out to do mis-
gular circumstance they landed at the
same farm, though one did not know the
other was there until later on.
The man first referred %. finding that
himself to the wife. and. of course, said all
kinds of nice things to her. making special
inquiry after the children, whether they
had caught the measles, which prevailed
at the time. etc. The lady seemed charm
ed with the attention shown her, but said
she would have to be excused. as she had
to milk the cow. The candidate kindly
offered to assist in that performance, say
ing that though he could not milk he could
keep the flies OF the COW, or at least hold
her tail.
while engaged in holding the cows
tail he ventured to ask If his competitor
for the Office had been around yet. oh,
yes answered the wife. he Is here now
He Is In the back barn and is holding the
calf, for this COW will not give down her

They were speaking Of puns, and mention
had been made of the fact that Dr. johnson
had asserted that a man who would make
a pun would pick pocket. "Pun-making,"
said law student, may not at the present
day be crime, but it was not always so, for
in the law books it is shown that a man
actually suffered capital punishment for this
sort of pleasantly. In Blackstone, fourth
book, chapter on treason, 1t is related that
an inn keeper whose house was called The
Crown. once said that he would make his
son the heir to The Crown This having
come to the ears of the occupant of the
throne. the culprit was hailed before a court
of justice, tried, condemned and sentenced

gentlemen who at one time or another had
learned and forgotten more or less about
natural philosophy. The question at issue
was whether the action of a fan In motion
cooled a person by lowering the temperature
of the air in his vicinity 1t was maintained
on one side that such was the case, and on
the other that the atmosphere remained
unchanged. To settle the point, after sum
had been put up by each party, a ther-

tobacco tags. The postage stamp mania Is
nothing to it, and ten boys come in here

were to be used on tobacco not yet on The
r'arket. boy came in asking for tags
and l gave them to him. i remember now
that one of them had the name Blue Bird
on it and picture of the bird. The lucky
boy who got tho sc rare tags has evidently
shown them around; other boys have heard
of them. and now every boy in town wants
one in his collection. That boy who came

an exceptionally fine voice.
Staff Captain Cox is an old friend of both
the commander and Mrs. Booth fucker,
having served with them in India. She
was Private secretary to Mrs. Booth-Tucker
there about .seven years ago. She says
that the commander Is a very fine hnguist,
having been at one time a judge in the
civil service of India. Mrs. Booth-Tucker
resembles her mother, and Is her fathers
favorite daughter.
