An INDIGNANT Woman.

ssHi, there = called a somewhat ex-
cited Fourth avenue woman to the post
man, who was passing on his morning
round. "Where's that letter | sent three
weeks ago to my sister in Buffalo? She
never got it, and has written to know
whether | m mad at her or some Of us are
sick.
Il don't know nothing about it, mad
anne.
'sOf course you don't | suppose the
Postmaster General would say the same
thing. My own private opinion is that
this Government is running at mighty loose
ends. | put stamp on that letter to pay
for having it sent 1t was directed as
plain as print. 1t is lost or stolen, and
my own sister is blaming me for neglecting
her It's all politics, that's what it is,
putting in lot of raw hands every four
years, and | don t propose to stand 1t. I'm
going to find out whether you mail men
can defraud your customers and make
family trouble just because you don't know
enough to look after your business. "
''But | never saw your letter, my good
woman.
Il don care about that. Neither did
my sister ever see it. I'll not sleep till |
write the President and give him piece
of my mind. The idea ofpaying an army
of men to lose letters 1t $ ridiculous 1t
won't be long before some of you are
locking for other jobs, or | miss my
guess.
During this conversation the woman $
husband dove frantically into his pockets,
ran hatless through the back gate, put
that letter into mail box, and made a
fine show of temper while helping his wife
abuse the Government.

From the Forum.
Interminable distances Of monotonous
Asiatic geography viii before long be
speedily traversed in comparative comfort,
if undertaken in the typical corridor car of
the first class, commonly met with on the
Russian railways, and thereafter in the
boats on the river route to Vladivostock.
What contract such trajet viii be to
those who have laboriously covered the
same ground under e-existing conditions
Then, the seemingly endless journey was
undertaken with whatever uncomfortable
primitive vehicle might be found at hand,
appropriate either to summer mud OF arctic
winter snow. But soon the comfortable
travel Of the sleeping cars, with leisdrely
waits at meal stations, and, later, the easy
going advance of the river vessels, with
full personal security and polite attendance,
may safely be reckoned upon, thus accent
uating the extraordinary triumphs over
obstructive physical difficulties which may
be accomplished by persistent and inteli-
gently directed human effort
According to an official Russian report,
some of the goods bound from China or
Siberia to Russia proper were formerly
year on the road The fur-clad, snow
bound journey across the steppes, with its
frightful monotony, relieved only by occa-
sional stops for tea and for change of horses
at the posting houses, is familiar picture
in literature 1t is another striking con
trast that perhaps in the coming summer
the new rail and river route may be open
to any robust traveller who, equipped with
home passport and with special permit
from the st Petersburg authorities, is pre-
pared to meet rough wagon travel over a
few hundred miles of uncompleted railway
between Lake Baikal and the Shilka river
Whatever he may encounter, this much is
certain, that if he is an American and
properly vouched for, he will find extreme
and unfailing sympathy and ciyility from
all the Russians-offcials and others-as
those of his countrymen who have met these
gentlemen will gladly testify.

The Evil Continues to Grow.

The corruption and extravaganza SO
plainly evident in State and municipal af-
fairs is condemned and deplored by many
who are strangely apathetie and indifferent
when call for action is sounded. Why
cannot they be drawn out in resistance and
in an effort to overcome Some think il
would be of no use, and some are afraid to
be classed among .reformers and others
think it looks small to object to the size of
salaries and amount of bills. And 50 the
evil continues to grow and American liberty
is imperilled by the easy going popular als
lowance of Governmental corruption and
extravaganza.

The cOncIusIOns arrlVeu at were
The effect of the bone meal and ashes
was to save about 130 pounds of corn, or
% per cent. of the total amount fed in
producing 100 pounds of grain, live weight.
By feeding the bone meal the strength
of the thigh bones was doubled
There was about 80 per cent. more ash
in the bones of the hogs receiving bone
meal and hardwood ashes than in the
others.
That maize, of itself, cannot build strong
bones, and must be supplemented by ash
materials from other sources, and may be
a cause Of pigs becoming too fine and
lacking bone, common complaint from

Experiments in Hog Feeding.

Weak bones in corn fed pigs has been
made study at the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station, first, to find out the bone
making properties of maize; next, whether
the deficiency would be made up best by
bone meal or wood ashes
Six pigs were fed on corn meal and
skim milk previous to weaving, and on
corn meal alone afterwards, until 20 days
old, and were then put up two in pen
together Each two received only corn
meal as the grain ration, but lot l had
pinch of bone meal in It's trough, and lot
2 had hard wood ashes always at hand in
a separate trough while lot 3 get nothing
beyond the meal and rain water. All
these had all the salt they could eat
The experiment was in three trials, be-
ginning September 30 and ending January
20.
The first question was to find the quan-
tity of maize required to produce 100
pounds ofweight. The resulto of the three
trials was
With maize alone. 629 pounds
Maize and wood ashes. ..... 491 pounds
Maize, with bone meal. ......... 487 pounds
The second question, the average break
strength Of each thigh bone:
With maize alone ......... 301 pounds
Maize, with wood ashes.. 5S1 pounds
Maize, with bone meal..... $50 pounds
The total ash of thigh bones was
With maize alone. ......... 1O7 grams
Maize, with wood ashes.... 150.2grams
Maize, with bone meal...... 1888 grams
