American steel Products.

Every day adds its proof of the ben
efts derivable under policy OF pro-
lection. 1t was protection that en-
abled us to establish our iron and
steel mills. From these mills We have
been enabled to supply our own mar
kets with the iron and steel products
that we have needed From these
mills We have been enabled to supply
foreign markets to limited extent, a
business that is steadily increasing
The Cleveland. Ohio, Rolling Mill COM
pany has recently received an order
for one thousand tons of bar steel to
be shipped TO Birmingham, England.
The steel was to be of such shape as
to permit of its being drawn into wire
and, we believe, 1t has already been
shipped from the MILL Without a
protective policy we should never have
had any mills that could supply steel
to the largest steel manufacturing
center in the world. The wall of pro-
lection does us no harm. 1t keeps out
the steel products of Birmingham, but
it does not prevent our steel products
from getting there.

Our Machinery in Africa.
(From Judge


The British Vice-Consul at LCanda
states that up to the present no Brit
ish firm has sent out representative
to Angola. There is fair demand for
cane-crushing mills, steam eng.n and
turbines. A representative of an
American firm is out for the third
time within four years, and has done
good business. He sees no reason why
the British manufacturers should not
do equally well, and says that the
American machinery is inferior to that
OF British make, and cheaper, but it
sells well, and that is the principal
thing" If few English firms were
TO subscribe together and send out
man tC visit the Islands of Principe,
and S. Thome, and then Loanda, Ben,
guella and Mossammedes, SO that they
might get an insight into what class
of machinery is required in those
parts, their money would not, the vice
consul stated, be badly spent, and they
would learn a great deal. They would
probably learn something about the
superiority of the American m2chin-
cry.

GIFT TO A UNIVERSITY.
Two Thousand Pieces of Egyptian
CuriOsities to BE Sent.

Chicago Post.
The most notable gift of all has Just been
made TO the University of Chicago. 1t Is
the entire collection of Egyptian weights
and measures obtained by the Egyptian ex-
ploration fund, and consists Of more then
two thousand pieces Word has just been
received that the collection will be for
warded to America by +. J.. Griffith, editor
of the fund publications. 1t Is a most in
terestng and valuable addition to the
riches of the university.
Mr. Griffith says the materials of which
these weights are made include stone
bronze, basalt. sianite, granite, alabaster'
hematite and lead, and It is thought when
the inscriptions are translated and the
weights are measured a food of light. will
be turned on many phases of ancient civil
iZation. The collection comes from Nam
crakis and Daphne, in Egypt, and the in
scriptions are in Egyptian, AssyriaR
Phoenician Greek and Persian. Nothing so
valuable in single gift has ever come 20
the university. The Chicago branch OF the
Egyptian exploration fund has been very
fortunate from the beginning. thanks to
the interest and activity of Ernest Hamiu
and his coworkers; and the treasure house
OF the university already holds many wall
liable finds But there Is nothing which
promises revelations more valuable than
does this collection of ancient weights. II
is not now certain when the specimens will
arrive in Chicago, but arrangements are
already perfected for their bestowal when
they do come.

CONSUMPTION REMEDIES.
Men who Work About StOcI<yards

Chicago Post.


Scientists have worked long and faithful
~ trying to discover a remedy for that
great enemy of human life, consumption
and yet, though the results obtained prom
Use well, 1t must be admitted that matters
are still in the experimental stage. There
is however, a class of men in Chicago who
feel confident that they know as much
about consumption remedies as the physt-
clans do. These men work in the Union
Stockyards and they depend upon two
homegrown remedies when they go into
"a decline" These are-blood and grease

is threatened, or thinks he finds that he
arrangements to get some blood to drink
This Is an easy matter. Sometimes 1T is
taken away and beaten with twigs to get
the fbrin or clothed matter out of it, but
this Is uniformly regarded as bad form in
stockyards etiquette. 1t Is considered much
more beneficial If the warm blood is drunk
as soon as possible after 1t has lett the
veins of the steer. Though the idea of
drinking blood is repugnant to most people,
It IS really the sight and not the taste OF
1t that is unpleasant. If you let friend
take it into another room and season it
with pepper and salt and then if you drink
it at once without looking at it you will
think, from the taste, that you are drink

Grease, the other remedy, is probably not
factories were running, because the grease
used was that fine clear liquid pressed
from the best beef fat which is used for
butterine A man who thinks his life de-
ponds upon it can drink pint of the tepid,
hat-tasting, oily liquid every day, though
it would hardly be popular as q soft drink
in the downtown candy stores. There is
dispute among scientists as to just how
much good these two remedies really do,
but it is conceded they are both nourishing
foods and help to build up the disease
wasted system. l believe it is fair to say
the highest authorities hold that just as
good results may be obtained with, reme-
dies which are less unpleasant to the pa
tient than are blood and grease.

San Antonio Express.
The piano was an old Steinway grand 1t
had not been used for months. The COM
pany had arrived in town but a short time
before the performance began, hence there
had been no time to test the instrument.
Nevertheless, the professor boldly opened
wide the lids of the long-unused grand, and
then sat down to the keys. The first touch
convinced him that the notes were still
clear and strong and that whatever de-
fects in tune there might be would be very
slight, so he began the soul-inspiring selec-
Now it happened that in all the months
in which the piano had remained unsued a
colony Of yellow jacket wasps had indus
triously built themselves a home in the
shape of a nest as large as a goOd-siZed
saucer. The soft pianissimo prelude to the
selection gently woke the WaSps from their

and the piano began to reverberate to the
pected danger. They curled their backs and
stretched and shook their gauZy wings
viciously. But the professor, unheedful Of
the fact that the music, far from
soothing the savage breast of the
vicious wasps ambushed within that
piano, was rousing their ire, played
on From pianissimo to piano and from
piano with one bound to fortissmo the
composition ran. All the while the wasps
futtered their wings wlckedly, viciously,
and all the while the professor played. Now
came the climax; now he was throwing
together vast handfuls of notes in the
hasso-profundo region of the instrument
u
forth from its innermost soul the musical
thunder of that great Wagnerian opera the
yengeance-hunting army of yellow Jacket
wasps crept out of the instrument with a
buzzing war song, down the hallway and
upon the audience. Suddenly soul-rending
sbrieks resounded through the hall Men
and women were striking about their heads
Benches were upset, and a general STAN
pede for windows and doors ensued. over
the terrible uproar shrill, piping voice
could be heard shrieldng:

to drink liquor on Sunday. Any man who
studies the social condition of the poor
knows that liquor works more ruin than
any other one cause. He knows also. how
ever. that it is simply impracticabe to ex-
tirpate the habit entirely, and that 70 at
tempt too much often results merely in
accomplishing too little; and he knows,
moreover, that for d man alone to drink
whisky in barroom is one thing and for
men with their families to drink light wines
or beer in respectable restaurants is quite a
different thing. The average citizen, who
does not think at all, and the average poll
about his own personal advantage, find 1t
easiest to disregard these facts and TO pass
a liquor law which will please the temper
ance people and then trust to the police
department to enforce il with such laxity
as TO please the intemDerate.
