Public or Private Monopoly

The movement toward combination, con-
centration, consolidation is gathering force.
The resources of the country are falling into
the hands of individuals to be exploited Tor
individual profit and benefit, and the num-
Der of individuals who participate is very
small percentage of the millions of citizens
whose labor heaps up wealth. Is it too late
to restore free competition? Or must we
choose between private monopoly and pub
lie monopoly? The trusts, syndicates and
consolidated corporations are themselves
driving the people upon dilemma, from
both horns of which they shrink with fear.

There has been considerable talk of late

that the dead rabbits are not sold. A dealer

The ways Of trapping are as various
az the ingenuity Of savage or civilized
man can devise. I like best the traps
that n car make. They seem to give
the animal a fairer show; they develop
u OWL constructive faculties, and the
nearer we can get to the savage way
the more fun it always is. Steel traps
have a place that wooden traps a new
er fill, but give me something that l
can make with my own hands, with the
simplest tools, out Of whatever materi-
ais the spot affords where the animal
lives.
OF all the animals in this country
there is zone that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit-more properly
hare-of which there are several spe-
cies. Its wonderful powers of increase
enable it to hold it's own, as tar too
many OF our best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rabbits
are very easily trapped.
Every one knows its little trail, as
broad as ones hand, through the bushes
or broom sedge, or its footprints as it
hops over the clear now Here, where
the path goes under u fence rail, it has
stopped to gnaw. The rabbit follows
this path In season and out, though in
the far north, where the snow keeps
piling and piling up, its little road may
change with each successive snowfall.
Trappers there put out a large number
of snares, setting them right in the mid
die of the paths. -Harper's Round Ia

TIL. Charm of the Peoples.

Very ancient is the history of the pop
py. 1t was wreathed with the lotus in
Egypt and twined with thyme and pars-
ley in Greece. 1t was also M of the
flowers dedicated to Venus, and the
witches who wrought their spells and
muttered their incantations on the
mountain tops cast into their brew the
horned leaves.
1t was early recognized that the pop
by in its simplest fern is Il Of the
most decorative Of flowers. Its simplest
form is, of course, the wild flower OF
four petals. Il is treated decoratively in
d number of ways, either as a fiat de-
sign of the lifted cup or al q onven
tional representation Of the four petals
encircling the receptacle or as the stem
upholding the domelike and sometimes
strongly ridged seed pod; but, after all,
the most marvellous artistic suggestions
are found in the sharply outlined leaves
which rise to slender Gothic points.
These serve as models Of leaf design and
were carved boldly and delicately in the
stone Of ancient cathedrals.
There Is always something artificial
In the appearance Of the cultivated pop
pies They lack the stability or reality
and ever suggest the gypsy masquerad-
ing as the princess.
Poppies, with very few exceptions,
are not in the least difficult to grow.
Seed sown in the fall or spring will
produce plants that flower all summer.
They do not demand an enriched soil
and profuse watering, but grow in an
independent, careless fashion that is a
relief after an experience of the exac-
ton Of some plants. Nancy M. Waddle

General Eaton Advises Maintaining the
Herds For Future Uses.
General John Eaton, who was once q
United States commissioner of educa-
tion and is at the present time the head
Of large college in Salt Lake City, is
just now interested in preserving the
reindeer herds in Alaska.
"These herds, y he said recently, "are
depleted in this emergency by taking
one portion north to save the 600 whal-
ers in danger of starvation in the Arctic
ocean. The remaining portion trained
to the harness are in demand to take
food to the imperiled miners. II these
reindeer are not replaced in the several
herds, there will be none with which to
carry ON the education of the natives in
this new industry and none with which
to meet demands of next winter, which.
with the rush for gold, are likely to be
greater than at present Congress evil
IDENTIFY should make the small appropri-
alton necessary to keep up the herds
and thus be prepared for future emor-
gencies.
"In civilizing the natives of northern
Alaska they must be trained in the rein
deer industry, for in raising the deer.
caring foI them and training them to
the harness they produce their food sup
ply, their supply of clothing and their
means of transportation, for the rein
deer ,milk and meat are food; their
skins and entrails furnish clothing. and
their bones and horns are manufactured
into implements, and they above all
others are the animals for transportation
there. When reindeer transportation is
perfected, mails will be carried and
news will bo communicated as regular
ly as in northern Europe. "--Philadel

Half an Ounce Of Iron Filings Taken Fren
. Mans Body.
One of the most remarkable opera
tions in the history of surgery was re-
Gently performed at Englewood Union
hospital, in Chicago, upon an iron
worker named John Glass. The opera
tion resulted in the removal from the
mans body in the region Of the first rib
of q lot of iron filings which are be-
lieved to have been absorbed into his
system through the lungs.
The largest piece Of partly corroded
iron found was about the size of sill
yer half dime, nearly round, but with
rough edges. Forty pieces varying in
size from that down to pinhead were
taken ont. When placed together in n
bottle. the quantity of Junk" taken
from Glass astonished the surgeons, who
decided unanimously that the phenome-
non is without a parallel in the annals
of surgery. The metal weighs q full
half ounce.
Glass was very sick when q reporter
called at tho hospital, but the doctors
are agreed that he will recover.
