STEP TOWARDS PROTECTION.
This II How q German Paper Inter.
prets England's Action.


BERLIN, Aug 1.-The krels Zeitung
says that the remuneration OF the CONNER
eial treaty With the German zolvenean is
Great Britain's first step toward the pro-
tectionist system, and adds: But there
IS no ground for serious alarm. because
she has her carrying trade 70 protect and
retaliation TO fear. Moreover, a one-sided
preference shown TO Canada might pro-
woke conflict with the United States"
The National Zeitung says that Great
Britain is herself the nation most inter
ested in the conclusion OF a new treaty.
ard that Germany may gain much by
skiilful. cold-blooded diplomacy.
The vossische Zeitung says: so far as
Germanys relations TO England are con-
eerned. IL Is matter OF indifference
whether we have a treaty or not"
The Berliner Tasebiatt says: Great
Britain's intention to join the mother
country and the colonies in customs union

trade with Germany any further than Is

The three last named papers all agree
that X is quite out OF the question for

THE GlRARD COLLEGE FUND.

philadelphia Bulletins --Arropos OF
the recent statement put out by the
Philadelphia Municipal trust, which
mas charge of the Stephen Guard fund
Tor the support of Girard college. that
the income of the trust has steadily
decreased, 1t may be well to state
both sides of the question, The trust
states that the fund has decreased in
income resources about $4,000 per
annum. That, in spite OF the most
careful management. the income of
the Girard estate is now only about
Slll,ooo per year. This includes all
the real property in Philadelphia and
the product of the coal lands In the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania.
TN the other hand, an old official OF
Girard college, speaking of the man
asement OF the Girard trust today as
compared with the good FOLD times"
said; I'm the old time. before the
present board of city trusts was or
gani2ed, the politicians nearly ran the
estate into the ground. Many of the
houses were let out to leading bench
men of the ruling faction, rents went
unpaid and the revenues were cut
down more than half
This state OF things led the late
William Welsh to introduce and have
passed a law authorizing the Board Of
City Trusts, of which for years he was
president, Now the estate 1t handled
with great care, and has been largely
Increased by judicious Investments and
plus of revenue from rents has en-
abled the board to create u reserve
fund which is constantly growing, and
should the coal fields. which now
yield a considerable part of the rev.
enue, give out, as has been sometimes
feared, the reserve fund will more than
make up the loss from that source"

ME Eugene Fields poem of Winkin,
Blinkin and Nod.
When one reflects that Miss Alta
Rockefeller, the millionaire's daughter,
devotes most Of her Saturdays during
the summer TO experimenting and ac-
companying these parties to the
park. with her co-worker and friend
Miss Nettie Croshaun, one can but wish
more of our wealthy and fashionable
women were so inclined. Many a
poor little childish heart beats with
pride and pleasure in the hope of
being chosen queen and wearing the
paper crown, or, il not that, Of being
a lady in waiting.
Miss Rockefeller looked sweetly
simple last Saturday in natural grass
linen frock, The stylish coat was cut
short in front, and worn open, the
back and sides being tluted,
Miss Croshaun was also in cool
gown of fancy blue and white linen
duck. Her jacket was of the popular
blazer pattern. Both ladies carried
lace trimmed parasols, and their cos
tunes were of superior style.
A description of Mr.. Trains individ,
uality and May party idea deserves tc
be placed in the guide books, along
with the other great monuments OF

Grease of an, kind Ii u preventive
of scabby legs.
II Is best to have the roosts low and
all on one Lowell
Unusually large eggs denote that
the hens arc too fat.
Che way of preventing gapes Ia to
feed on clean surface.
Keep tho fowls exercising; do not
, let them oyeroat. !.
DO not try to keep too many. Hens
that are crowded will not lay.
Too much food is ms bad ms too
little for diminishing the egg supply.
Feed the growing chickens early In
the morning and late In tho evening.
Gather the eggs regularly. other
wise they are liable to become broken.
Sprinkle air-slackod lime over the
roost platforms and around the house.
All grain should be scattered 80
that the hens are compelled to search
for It.
A man who keeps 10 cows and
400 hens says that the hens pay the
most profit In tho end, as he feeds
them properly and has n stream OF
eggs going to market all the winter,
when the demand is great and the
prices renumeratiye.
When live fowls are to BIO shipped
do not make the coops SO large as to
be hard to handle lest thoy receive
rough usage from those who have to
handle them Let them be strong
enough to be secure, and lirht to
avoid express charges.
Keep the droppings under the
roosts well cleaned up. There IL no
better way of caring for them than TO
mix them, either on the floor or In
barrels after taking up. with an equal
quantity OF dry road dust. They
thus become most valuable fertili-

tend to her business, II he doesn't
marry HIS first love he'll always wish
he had, and II he does he'll always
wish he hadn't,
Yet no man ever follows freeoom's
Tag for patriotism (and n pension)
with half the enthusiasm that no will
trail the rcd, white and blue that con-
stitute the banner of female beauty,
He will brave the lion In his den, face
the booming cannon, tread the ocean
foam beneath his feet, and tremblo
like leaf when called to account by
his wife for his moannoss. Ho goes
forth In the morning to pillow corn with
a cross-oyed mule and roam steer,
works hard all day, and comes home
at night to find his seven half-clothod
children hungry az bears and no
bread In the house, and his wife over
ut ono OF the neIghbors to borrow a
hat TO wear to n church social. !
