THE AESTHETIC SIDE.
To Bcautify Our Highways Is Not
Fad, az Trees Are Great Pro-
tectOrS of Roads.

While considering the purely utili-
tartan aspect of good highways it is
well not to forget that there are other
considerations worthy of attention,
and that hard roads when unshaded
and barren, and city streets when un.
adorned, are lacking in those simple
yet beautiful features which make
travel over them more agreeable and
add an unmistakable charm to move
ment in the open air.
For the most part, all thought re-
garding roadmaking in the recent re-
vival in this country, has thus far
turned to grades, drainage and road
beds, and almost no attention has been
paid to roadside adornment, This fea-
ture, however, is not without iti utility
as well as aesthetic value, for country
roads lined by shade trees and hedges,
and so partially protected from the
summer sun, are, in measure, kept
from drying out too fast and from
breaking up in time of drought The
traveller is made more comfortable and
his animals suffer less from heat, In

take steps retaliating against Germany
for discriminating against American
pork. Prof. Wiley, of the agricultural
is now conducting an in-
vestigation for the benefit of the pres
ident, and has gone to New York for
the purpose of securing samples of
German wines and other products,
which will undergo close scrutiny to
find ground for excluding them from
this country. American meat products
have been harassed in so many ways
that it has become Improbable to ex-
port them to Germany. 1t has been
charged that these products are
infected with trichinm, and every
thing imaginable has been done to
harass trade and drive it from that
market. Recent consular reports show
that charges of trichin@ existing in
American pork are unfounded, and
upon scrutinizing investigation it
was found to exist in meats which
came from other countries and were
marked as coming from America.

WAS A BIG JUBILEE.
President Mckinley Reviews n Parade Of
$4,000 in PhIlAdelDhih--NOt Military
and Naval Heroes Present

Philadelphia, Oct 2S--For three
hours yesterday William Mckinley,
commander-in.ch of the United
States army and navy, saw his victori-
Gus sons pass in review before him. It
was military and naval day of the
great peace jubilee. Twenty-Five
thousand men marched in the most
brilliant and spectacular pageant the
country has witnessed in many years.
In sem.circular enclosure of the big
reviewing stand in the magnificent
court of honor the president stood
erect and uncovered throughout the
entire procession. Here and there,
when some particularly renowned
body of troops marched by the presi-
dent pleasantly waved his hat and mo-
toned the crowds across the way to
cheer.
Maj Gen. Miles, as chief marshal,
rode at the front, Immediately behind
the emergency corps, until he reached
his special reviewing stand at Broad
and York streets, the northern end Of
the route. Here he dismounted and,
from the stand, watched the men file
past. Gen. Joe" Wheeler rode behind
the governors, his gray head barred for
some minutes before and after the
presidential stand was reached, and
bowling repeatedly to the presidents

others of the party and the people
generally Gen. Sumner, Can't "Bob"
Evans, Commodore Philip, Capt. Sigs-
bee, Col Huntington, with his ma
rines of Guantanamo fame, all received
tumultuous greeting, but, after all,
perhaps the loudest ovation was that
given Hobson and his Merrimac crew.
They rode on tally-ho, and, as they
reached the reviewing stand, all arose,
faced the president and bowed their
bare heads.

DREADED HOG CHOLERA.
Have Discovered Successful REM
edy for the DIsOaae.


Washington, Oct %. During the
past two years the department of agri-
culture has conducted a series of ex-
periments in the use of serum as a
remedy for hogs affected by cholera
or swine plague. The experiments
were conducted by DR.. d. E. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try, and the results were eminently
satisfactory, proving that the dreaded
disease can be successfully treated
easily and ineXpensively.
The cholera serum is procured by
keeping apart for treatmentan animal
"a horse or cow-and injecting into
its blood small amount of the blood
of cholera diseased hog. This will
sicken the subject, but he will recover,
when another dose will be admins
tered, and so on, time after time, until
finally his blood becomes cholera proof.
Then his blood is let out and the clot
drawn off, leaving the thin yellowish
portion which is the serum. This is
used to inject into the diseased hogs
and operates to render them likewise
cholera proof, c. even cures them OF
the disease after it has developed.

THE CLOCKS WERE STOPPED.
Awful Pounding of the Chicago Lake Front
by Waves During the Gale Affected
the Tall Buildings.

Chicago, Oct. %. -Chicago's lake
front is battered in spots from the In
diana state line to Evanston and
beyond, as the result of the storm
which found center here during the
last two days. While no lives have
been reported lost, the severity of the
wind was the greatest since the gale
of 1894, when the shore was strewn
with wrecks and when many sailors
persisted. The total damage is esti-
mated at 300. The objects that
suffered most were the lake shore
promenades and walls, where huge
rocks and flags were battered down
and tossed about like chips by the
waves. The Lincoln park board has
suffered most in this respect 1t will
require $50, 900 to replace its wrecked
WAYS. An indication of the fury OF
the storm is shown by the fact that
the official clock in the photographic
Office in the Masonic temple was
stopped by the vibration of the big
building. Lieut. Wilson says all clocks
on the upper floors of high office build
ings were similarly affected.

is impractcable or impossible the ben
eflts are particularly marked.
But the beauty that may be added to
any road or street at the cost of little
trouble and expense is direct source
of refining influences to all that por-
tion of the public which uses them.
The great variety of trees, shrubs,
bushes, hedges and flowers that are
possible along the roadside are COM
fort to the traveller and delight to his
eye,
In towns, and in the residence por-
tons of cities, even better results can
be obtained, as in one case in a west
ern city where gentleman who owned

sweet brars, The parkways retain
some of the native trees, and there has
been additional planting. Fins. lin
dens, naples, oaks and other trees
have been used, and also red-branched
dogwoods, syringas and viburnums.
The groups planted are as irregular as
the native growth. Recently man
from another city, after having rid
den through this street, was surprised
TO find it was a public thoroughfare,
his impression having been that it was
gentleman's private drive"
In some sections of the country this
sort of thing is being undertaken to
the great advantage of the towns. An
tiquated and useless fences, which
only disfgure the landscape, are being
removed, and residences dot here and
there among the shrubbery and flow
ers and lawns what appear to be great
and beautiful parks.
With the adoption of this plan would
naturally come the removal of the
great and hideous advertising signs
which distigure so many streets, boul-
evards and public places and are
monstrous eye sore on any landscape.
The result of such a change from the
purely commonplace and prosac to
the beautiful and ornamental would
be far reaching, and highly beneficial
to the tastes and thoughts Of all
classes, and particularly to the young

OFFICIAL CRANK FILE

Peculiar Correspondence.

LspeeIal washIngton Letter.l

Although 1t Is not generally known,
" is nevertheless fact that the de-
partment of the interior possesses
a separate official file for the re-
,ception of all communications which
are received from persons who
do not write concerning depart
ment matters, but send letters
TO the secretary OF the interior which
are either inspired by the sentiments
OF an anarchist or else the absurd IDEAS
OF crazy person. In short II is
"crauk file and in it are recorded all
letters coming from cranks, fools, lu-
MATES or anarchists, as the case may
he. No other of the executive depart
ments maintain distinct file for such
communications, and whenever pa
per OF this sort is received at the treas
AIRY. war, state or any of the depart
ments other than the interior, It Is com
.pIetely ignored, unless 1t is obvious that
"A reply is needed. At the interior de-
par:menl. however the communica-
4ions are acknowledged in every case
where an answer can be sent, and in
its due course the paper is placed on
1.-THE Crank file" for future reference,
Iif any such contingency as would de-
;mand the existence of the communica-
ytiou should arise.
The file is kept in the miscellaneous
,divisios of the department, where all
communications are sent which do
not directly relate to one or the other
divisions of the secretary's Office, as
the appointments, the lands and rail-
roads or the Indian divisions. Scarce
Iy day passes that some communica-
ton which must be referred to the
-'crank file" does not come in. The
letters, all of which are peculiar, and
many Of which are ridiculous, are
generally received from land settlers
who have claims before the interior
department and desire to have them
adiudcated They are sent by aged
and decrepit pensioners, or else they
,emanate from some poor western land
claimants, who believe that they have
been oppressed by the department and
desire redress fer the alleged wrongs
6mposed. 1t is often found thar when

SUIT THE CONSUMER.
A Lesson That Many Dutter-MaIserH
VIII Have 10 Learn Before They
Can Make Money,

One thing should always be borne in
mind by the person in making butter TO
sell. The butter is for somebody else
TO eat, and 1t is for your interest to suit
them, whether it just suits your taste or
not. Habit has great deal to do with
our likes and dislikcs. You may have
been accustomed to sweet cream but
ter; II SO, you probably like that best,
Or, you may have got used to eating
butter made from very ripe cream, and
the butter not washed to eXpel the but
termilk, causing 1t to have very de-
cided flavor and taste, and so you look
upon fine, deicate-havored butter as
insipid. Or, you may like little or no
sailing or high sailing; light color or
high color. But all this is of little con-
sequece, 1t is no matter what you like.
You want to make 1t to suit your GUS
toner, and you want your customers
to be those who are able and willing to
pay good price for what suits them.
If the customer wants sweet-cream
butter make il; II unsalted, make it so;
if he desires it high sailed, salt it
high, and so on. Always make it the
same for the customers. They are get
ting tastes formed which you can make
it profitable to crafty. 1t is not the
province of the maker of dairy butter
to try and educate the tastes of the
people who buy butter, but rather to
cater to their tastes when he finds out
what they are. If one is making but
ter to put on the general market, he
wants to make what the market de-
mands and will pay the best price for.
The best way TO learn the market de-
mand is TO have the butter inspected
by an expert judge who is dealer and
knows what takes best in the market.
Ask him to criticise it and tell you just
what he thinks of it; and do not get
angry at what he tells you. but try and
profit by what he says. The object Of
this article is to help farmers to make
such butter as the best-pnying custom
ers in the general market demand

ROBBERS SENTENCED.
Five Boys mt st. Joseph Given Ten Years
Each In Prison for Holding Upa
Burlington Train.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct, 9S.-In the
criminal court yesterday Herbert Dono-
van, Alonzo Arteburn, Charles Cook,
James Hathaway and William Hatha-
way were sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for ten years for robbing Bur-
lington passenger train near st. Jo-
seph the evening of August II. The
robbers are mere boys and of good
families. On this account the railroad
and express officials consented to
the assessment of the minimum fine
upon their plea of guilty. The
robbery was successfully executed, but
no booty was secured. After throwing
the safe containing large amount of
money from the train the boys became
frightened and ran away without
opening it. They proceeded to their
homes in this city and next day James
Hathaway made confession and all
were arrested.

ROADS OVER HILLS.
They Arc n Great Tax on Time,
Strength and Wear and Tear
of Horse and Driver.

The tax we have to pay because the
original cattle tracks and paths led
abruptly up and down over hills seems
to be as immovable as the hills them
sedves which cause it. Immense sums
would be eventually saved if many
hill roads were relocated. In learning
how to improve our highways and TO
construct new ores, it is we'll to learn
where lines should run, in order to in
sure economy in grades and reduce the
tax on time, strength, wear and tear
and maintenance caused by hills.
Writing on this subject in the Port
land Industrial Journal, Mr.. S. d, Gray
tells of roads over hills which must
not be gone around because our faith
ers travelled them and we may as well
be footsore as they" He cites case
'in which both town and county COM
missioners refused to act, This road
was two miles in length with eight
rugged hills, four of them unsafe TO
ride up or. down. All these hills could
have been avoided and level road
made for less than $1,000 that would
pay for itself in ten years. The old
hills still remain. What we need is an
understanding not how to build our
roads hut to say where our roads can
and should be built"
