LIVE STOCK VALUES.

The agricultural department has is
sued some statistics having to do with
the values of live stock in this country.
The figures furnish a comparison be-
tween the situation on January 1, 1898,
and that of the same date of this year.
At the beginning of the present year
the total value of live stock of all kinds
was 81 .997, 010. 407, which represented an
increase for twelve months of sos, 35S,-
1872 or 5.74 per cent.
The greatest increase in values is
shown by beef cattle, this class of live
stock having increased in value nearly
per cent in spite of a decrease in num-
Der of Az per cent. There were on jan
uary 1. 1899, 81, 994, 225 beef cattle in the
country, and their total value was $685.
931, 135- The horses were valued at SSH,
074,S13, and mich cows at $474, 233, 925,
while sheep represented a value of $107,-
697, $50. or an increase during the twelve
months of % cents a head. Horses in
creased in value per head $314; mich
cows. 1921, and mules, $1.0S. All three
of these animals decreased in number.
The value per head of the various ami
mails is: Mules, $44.96: horses, $37. 40;
milch cows. $29.66; beef cattle, $22. 70;
hogs. $4.4O. and sheep. s2.75. The high
value of the mule, as compared with the
horse. is a surprise 1t is the highest
priced animal on the farm.

ken up a certain amount of formalde-
hyde gas That gas has been used for
some time in medical colleges in enl-
balming and preparing for preservation
the material used in the dissecting
rooms. Cadavers exposed to this gas
and treated with injections of formaline
will remain unchanged for six months
above 80 degrees. Then they give forth
a sfckening, sweetish smell
That same peculiar smell was given
out by some of the beef issued to the
soldiers. Furthermore, if meat treated
with formaldehySe is exposed to a high
temperature such chemical changes
take place that those who eat the meat
are attacked by vomiting, nausea,
chills, and general prostratoin. That is
how some of the soldiers in Porto Rico
were affected after they had eaten the
beef thoughtfully provided for them by
Commissary General Eagan. These are
striking condolences.
1t is not proved that any of the meat
issued to the soldiers was treated in
accordance with the methods borrowed
from the undertaker's shop and the dis
section room. AS yet there is simply
some evidence tending to show that
such was the case If positive proof
can be obtained General Miles will be
fully indicated, in letter and IN spirit.

''embalmed beef are concerned.

COSTOFCABLING TOMANILA

[From the New York Tribunel
TIL active operations of the army near
Manila and the anxiety of people in the
United states to communicate with
friends and relatives who are with Gen.
Otis have caused many inquiries to the
cost of cable meSSag eS. When Admiral
Dewey presented the compliments of
Uncle Sam to the Spanish ships in Ma
Mia bay telegraphing to that part of
the world was an expensive luxury, the
cost being 500 a word Business has
increased since then, and Will continue
to grow, and the rate has been reduced
by slow stages until it has now reached
the bargain counter price of 1926 a

and signature which are followed with

1929
Sending or receiving messages is out
of the question with hundreds of people
ments of the army, and to these the
published reports giving the names OF
officers and men who were killed and
wounded were the only source of lntor-
nation during the last few days.
A man whose brother had been
wounded made inquiry at the office OF
the post adjutant at Governors island
as to how he could obtain further in
formation as to the condition OF the
wounded man, and whether any addi-
tional retails would be sent from the
front He was told by the officer in
charge: The casualty lists are cabled
to Washington and are made public at
once. These lists contain the names OF
the killed and wounded. but after that
no reports are sent as to the progress OF
the cases in the hospital Lists of dead
are sent from time to time and are
published"
The man was advised to write to
the war department, saying that ne
was interested in the condition of the
soldier in question and would like to be
informed if any news from him reach
ed the war department.
A request of that kind will be honor
ed by the department. News concern
ing the soldier will be promptly for
warded to the given address, but in
consequence of the great expense OF
telegraphing hospital reports by wire

A BLUE STOCKING LUNCH.
TFrom What to Eat.1

IL
The twelve guests for this occasion
were twelve bright women who were not
only personally charming but were OF
such literary cultivation as to enter
thoroughly into the spirit of the oc-
casion and enjoy the hostess efforts.
The circular table in the center of the
room presented a striking and harmon
iOus effect of white and blue The dark,
polished mahogany cleaned between
the dOilies of drawn Mexican work, the
large round center piece being of the
same drawn work. Resting on this
centerpiece was a large fiat bowl hold
ing larkspur and French pinks-blue as
the sky a summers day. Around
the bowl was wreath of the same flow
ers, and at each cover a blue Delft
plate was surrounded by a dainty
wreath of the natural flowers. Two or
three tall vases held few graceful
French pinks.
The key to the color scheme was seen
in the menu cards which were-blue
stockingsI blue cardboard cut in the eX-
act shape of a stocking and tied at the
knee with a dainty blue ribbon-a very
good imitation. The souvenirs at each
cover were a bOOkmark of broad blue

on which was picture of Shakespeare
and an appropriate quotation from that
author. Blue and white bonbons also
added to the effective coloring. The
quotations were written in blue ink.
