STATUS or THE TARIFF BILL.

The present indications seem Go point to no little delay in the progress of the Dingley tariff bill now in the hands of the senate finance commit tee, and it is said that it will be more likely that August lst will arrive be- fore it goes to the president for sigma ture, rather than the act being law by the middle of this month, as was ori- ginally asserted. The fruit and wool interests of the west are prone to re- sent disposition of the extreme east to refuse what they deem adequate protection, and unless their demands are given more consideration than at present promised there is apt to be a deadlock in the senate which may prevent any legislation. The republi- can senators from the states affected, California, Wyoming, Montana, Ore gon, Utah, can effect that result by refusing to vote upon the measures the vote being so close that absten- tion from voting by the five would place the adherents of the bill in a minority. But in any event it's final enactment will no doubt be delayed a
 number of weeks by the policy Of democratic senators, as now declared, to debate all the schedules. not only in committee but before the open sen ate.
 The free traders die hard, and think they must make record and manu- facture campaign ammunition for future elections, regardless of the facts that they might debate until the dawn of the twentieth century without adding single new principle or idea to what has already been ad- vanced by either side, that in 1892 the people voted to try their policy, and faster four years of trial again voted in 1896 to reverse their former decision and return to the good old republican policy of protection.
 In the foregoing connection it may not be amiss to note the claim of some gold bug free traders. who supported Mckinley, that the election last year was carried by the republican party. upon the financial issue and not upon the question of protection. That prosition is wholly untenable. It is true that the free silver issue was in- jected into the campaign by the dem ocracy having siezed upon it to divert the attention of the country to their own miserable failure on the tariff question. By flaming the free silver spark into flame they hoped to cloud the real issue before the people with the smoke of misrepresentation they blew about, and sweep it with the frenzy they did for time arouse. While abandoning not one jot of its cardinal doctrine of protection to American industry, tiic republican party met the issue fairly and square. ly, demonstrating plainly that the new found fadof the democracy would work more havoc to the country than had been wrought during the preced- ing four years by the free trade policy they no longer dared to advocate. And while the republican triumph in November was victory for sound money, it was no less an oyerwhelm- ing defeat for a tariff for revenue only.Y.

A Nation Of Spitters.

A correspondent OF the New York
Herald meets the views of many when
he writes:
am heartily in sympathy with the
edict issued by the Board of Health
against spiting on the floors Of public
conveyances. But it should go further
than this; it should forbid the befouling
of sidewalks, stairways and lobbies by
expectoration. A more disgusting, hog
gish and ting habit than that OF
expectoration could not possibly be con
ceived. I have travelled in many civil
lied lands, and on my return to my own
country I have been made ashamed OF
my people by being compelled to OBJ
serve their beastly habit of expectora-
ting, which habit during my sojourn
abroad was unobserYed by me, If it ex-
listed at all.
The absence of handkerchiefs or their
non-use by the men of our country is
noticeable and to be regretted. The
splitting habit is chronic in our land.
The further west one goes the more
frequent is its exhibition. Let us try
and revive in the men of QUE country
a spirit Of decency, so that tobacco
chewers, gum cheWers and other chew
ers will cease to make themselves Of
fa0siya.

Storage Purifies water.

After all, the best kind Of purifier Is
natures own. The minute organisms
known as bacteria are the chief causes
of the impurity of drinking water.
These invisible creatures have to live
as well as their larger brethren, and
they must eat to live. AS soon as they
have eaten all in the water that there
is to feed on they die. DR.. Frankland
has stated, from his recent examina-
ton Of water stored for two weeks, that
it seems as pure and free from bacteria
life as If it had been passed through
the best Of filters; but it seems strange
that this should have so recently come
under DR.. Frankland's experience. Ev-
cry one knows that there is no purer or
better water in the world than that
which is supplied to seafaring people.
Almost any kind of water stored away
in a ships tank becomes absolutely
pure after the vessel has been few
weeks at sea. This is usually ascribed
in popular language to fermentation;
but there is really nothing to ferment,
it is simply that the bacteria have
eaten everything in the water there is
to eat and then died of starvation

Queen .Victoria's Pets.

Much has been written and told from
time to time of the Queens pet dogs,
hut little do we learn of her other pets
The Queen is regular animal lover,
and takes almost as much interest In
horses as in dogs; and may tell that,
unlike most householders, she has so
kindly feeling for cats that when the
Court fits from place to place the cats
and kittens are not left behind in the
bleak world alone while the family en-
lows itself, but are conveyed with the
net dogs to the home for which Her
Majesty is bound. OF her horses the
Queens favorites are two venerable
gray carriage horses, Alma and Flora,
given by the late Victor Emmanuel of
Italy. These are relegated to the quiet
ude of farm life, and enjoy an honored
old age together.
In a shed near the old grays resides
the superb chestnut charger once be-
longing to the Emperor Frederick of
Germany, and given in his lifetime to
Prince Christian "a very excellent
Judge, by the way, of horsef1esh). For
some time the charger was happy in
the youthful companionship of little
white donkey, the property Of one of
the Princesses of Connaught, and
brought by Her Majesty as surprise
gift for her granddaughter from Grasse
Nothing could be more amusing than
to see the dignified charger and impu-
dent donkey at play together, and
when at length Ninette had to be re-
moved, great was the grief in that shed.
Space fails me to tell of all the
Queens pets: of Jack, an enormous
bison, which was bought in exchange
for another by the Queen at the Zoo
logical Gardens; of a darling little pony
called Sanger, the gift of the circus pro-
prietor; Zulu cow, such a fine-looking
animal, presented to the Queen by Lord
Wolseley, and which had once been
the property, learn, of Cetewayo's
brother, and Of the little Jersey cows,
and superb Spanish red cattle. The
Queen has herself named each animal
upon her estate, and when she drives
through the private road leading from
Windsor to her farm she will stop and
call her favorites to the ratings and
have word with each. The Queen no
more forgets her animals than she does
her friends.-Lady's Pictorial.

Care of Potatoes in Cellars.

There are many dangers Of injury to
potatoes kept in cellars. That Of being
frozen is what happens the worst, but
it is always guarded against, so that no
caution is needed about that. Much
greater is the likelihood that the pota-
toes are kept too warm, and especially
if they are piled in bins. Some warmth
comes always from potatoes thus
massed, and those in the bin will be un-
touched by frost even when film of ice
will form over water set in vessels on
the floor, or the potatoes left outside
the heap have been frozen. It is doubt
less the warmth developed by sprout-
ing the potato that creates the warmth
that protects the mass as it slowly rises
through 1t. When 1t is seen that pota-
toes are beginning to sprout, they
should be removed and the larger
sprouts be broken off. Those that are
meant for seed ought to be put in a
mass, unless in a pit out of doors, and
they should be got out and exposed to
air and light so soon as the weather be-
gins to grow Manufacturing

Cooked Food Does Not Pay.

Cooking of grain and meal for stock
is only profitab BILE when it is done in cold
still warm. A temperature at or near
animal heat is an advantage, as the
stomach has to warm to that extent
But the heat required for cooking car
bonaceous food expands it so that the
stomach can contain less Of it. If the
digestion be good the uncooked food
will in the same bulk have the most nu-
triment and do the greatest good.

Shipping Fowls by Express.


Poultry breeders and poultry buyers
are interested as to how best to ship
breeding stock by express. Expressmen
have found much fault in the way
fowls were occasionally prepared for
shipment, and the result was double
irst-class charges used to be made on
poultry. AS this seemed an injustice,
poultrymen and expressmen came to-
gether and decided on what should con-
stitute proper coop in consideration
of single first-class merchandise rates
instead of double. This conference re-
suited in the adoption of zone rate

objection to coops being lined inside

Using the Incubator.

The best Oil is none too good for the
incubator lamp. Poor oil, besides be-
ing dangerous, crusts the wick, and
encrusted wicks give very little heat.
Lamps must be filled and cleaned even
when the best oil is used. To forget
this duty once may spoil a hatch and
waste much precious time. 1t will pay
to make an effort to keep the incubator
room at a moderate and even tempera-
ture. A temperature of thirty degrees
to forty degrees in the room requires
the lamp Of the incubator to be run at
its full capacity, and Of necessity there
will be free circulation Of air, and,
hence, too much ventilation resulting il
too great evaporation and a drying out
of the eggs. This is the case with a
majority of the machines. A very high
temperature is just as inconvenient. A
range Of twenty degrees, between fifty
degrees and seventy degrees, without
the presence of coal gas, is about right.
Temporary changes, higher Or lower,
for an hour or two, do little harm. No
self-regulating apparatus, however in
genious, will dispense with the use Of
brains in running an incubator. 1t is
sometimes needful to discount the as
sertions Of the catalogues in this re-
spect, and to watch vigilantly that the
machinery does not bind or chafe, or
become disarranged by the heat and
moisture within or from some obstruc-
ton without. This is the time to work
the incubator for all it is worth.-Poul-
try World.

Feeding Wheat to stock.

Wheat is now much dearer than any
other kind Of feed. Yetthere are cir
cumstances in which some wheat may
be fed even at present prices. It does
not pay even when wheat is cheapest
to feed it exclusively. It has more nitro
genous substance in proportion to its
bulk than any other grain, and is there
fore very likely when fed alone to fer
ment in the stomach. Yet when COM
bined with other grains and cut hay or
straw the wheat paid for hogs very
near it's present prices in the market.
Therefore small proportion may yet
be fed with profit For one kind of stock
wheat is always the cheapest grain.
That is for laying hens. But they must
not be fed much lest the hens fatten, as
they will just the same as if overfed
with corn.-American Cultivator.
