enters quite extensively into the refin-
 ing, of sirups, jellies and fruit pre-
 serves. It is also used by leather tam
 ners and brewers. The sugar and
 starch made from corn form other
 branches of important industries. Diff ferent grades of grape sugar are made from the corn, and they are used by ale brewers and tanners, while the bet ter grades are employed by apotheca- ries and confectioners. Pearl and pow dered starch come from the corn, and also dextrin and f1ourin The former is employed in the manufacture of muci- lage and glue, and the latter is mixed with flour. The new uses to which these by-products of corn are put mul- tiply rapidly, and every new employ ment of any of them makes greater demand upon the corn crop. It Is all along this line that improvements are being made which encourage the corn farmers and improve the. future for them. If 1t were not for these several dozen different articles which are made from corn, the farmers of the corn belt would long since have been ruined. A crop of three hundred million bushels would simply swamp them, and make corn so cheap that it would not pay to harvest 1t. But with this enormous crop in view, the farmers are happy and jubilant, because there is sufficient de- mand for the product to keep the prices American

 THE CURE OF CONSERVATIVES.
pr. Marshall Callsins Describes the In-
 stitution at Rutland, Mass.

pr. Marshall Calkins Describes the In-
 stitution at Rutland, Mass.
 Dr. Marshall Calkins, has made a careful survey of the state hospital at Rutland Massachusetts, and gives this interesting report to the publc:--
 Since 1895 the state of Massachusetts has originated and organized hospital for consumptives at Rutland, on prin- cples somewhat peculiar and decidedly physiological. Wishing to observe It's operative work, Mrs. Calkins and myself visited the institution on the 27th of last month. The conditions prescribed by the originators for it's establishment were as high an altitude, over 1000 feet, as could be found available; southern exposure; protection from northerly winds by good stretch of woodland at least a hundred feet higher than the hospital; a supply of pure water ac- possibility by railroad or other conven- fence. After investigation, 200 acres of land well located to supply the prescrib- ed conditions was purchased in the beautiful and elevated old town of Rut- land,-the center of the state, on the Massa achusetts Central Railroad, about F miles north of Worcester. The coun- try around is elevated, furnishing from the summits of it's well cultivated hills unobstructed views of the surrounding towns Mt Tom, Mt Wachuset and the Green Mountain range, S5 miles away. The air is pure and electrical with ozone, the sweep of the aerial currents, but little obstructed, except on the norther- ly exposure.
 The hospital, 1160 feet above the sea, is about two miles from the village, on one of those oval swells of land which present a beautiful surface for the re- ception of solar rays The woods in the rear rise a hundred feet above the in- stitution, and serve as an excellent pro- lection from the north winds of winter. The water supply is from a springfed lake near by, proved by analysis to be of excellent quality and supplied to the hospital by pressure from tower erect ed on an adjacent hill. We thus find the primary conditions of health, pure air, sunlight and water, and when food is added to these we have the four es- sentils of health and means of cure.
 The buildings are unique, arranged in the form of a crescent, an administration building two stories high in a central position, and the wards, one story high running out in dverging lines, widely separated from | each other and presenting such angles | to the south as will secure the most sun light and most perfAnt aarjal exposure. |

NEW BANGLES NOT WANTED
MAIDEN TOWN MEETING WANTED
 NO NEW ROAD MACHINERY.

A Lively Session in the Town Hall in
 Centerville Last Night-Petition fo'
 Cart and Stone Crusher Tabled I'm
 definitely by nn Overwhelming Vote
 Residents of the Cedar Hill and High wood districts of the town of Hamden were disappointed last evening in theii hopes of having their roads better car ed for. Their carefully drawn up peti- ton, asking for the purchase of road roller, watering cart and stone crusher by the town, which they presented at the town meeting, was treated With scant courtesy, and motion Whlch was made, asking that q committee be appointed to inquire into the purchase price of these much desired adjuncts of good streets was, on an overwhelming vote, indefinitely postponed,
 The meeting, which opened in the town hall in Centerville shortly after 8 o'clock was largely attended, and had it not adjourned in short order would have undoubtedly developed into a
  called to order A. D. Woodruff was elected chairman. The petition which had been prepared was then brought forward and motion was made ask ing for the appointment of commit tee of three, to ascertain the cost of roadroller, watering cart and stone crusher, to report at the annual town meeting ill 1900 The motion was amended to have the committee report on the first Monday in December of this year.
 The amendment had hardly been pro- posed when T. F. OConnell of High wood claimed the floor and offered a motion to indefinitely postpone the whole matter Immediately there was an uproar and everybody wanted to be heard at once. When order was ob- tained once more it was explained that Mr. OConnelrs motion was out of or der. The latter then withdrew his mo- tion and the motion before the meeting was put to vote. It took but a few minutes for the opponents of the peti- ton to demonstrate their superiority of numbers, and the motion was declared lost. B. A. Mann of Centerville then
  O'Connell, and this time it was allowed to stand. Henry Stadtmuller of Whit neville and John M. Husdinger of Highwood supported it dnd seemed to represent the residents of those sec tions The motion was carried by large majority. A motion to adjourn was almost immediately made, and this, too, was carried. The defeated townsmen realizing that they were up against it for the time being, then re- tired to argue it outside. They VOW that they are not yet beaten.
 The state highway commission has within the last year or two, with the assistance of the town, put many of the roads in Hamden in good condition. Those who signed the petition think that it is necessary to keep them in good condition.

ANCIENT INDIGO AND ITS RIVAL.

fa4NN<lL4N LIN lplNIJ AIN lI u D M A LJ'
 In the current issue of "Feilden's
 Magazine" it is pointed out by writer
 on indigo that most of the blue cloth
 and ribbons found on Egyptian num-
 mics five thousand years ago had besn dyed with indigo, and that the cele- brated blue garments of Sdon, the sis ter town of Tyre, wher the ancient pur- pie is mentioned in the Bible came from, were also found to be dyed with indigo.
 However, it is only since the sixteenth century, or from the time of the dis covery of the way to India via the Cape of Good Hope, that it has become gene rally known in Europe. There was used in Europe a blue coloring matter de- rived from the woad or pastel plant
 Gsatis tinctoria) and the woad culti. vators. with their great vested interests
 strenuously resisted the introduction of indigo, and actually induced the Eng fish, French and German Governments to promulgate enactments against it's use. From 1561 the struggle of the home grown woad against its foreign rival commenced, and continued for many years with the greatest bitterness It is strange in these days of healthy com petition to read that Henry " of France issued an edict condemning to death any one who used that pernicious drug called the devils food" Indeed, it is only since the year 1737 that the French dyers have had the right to use indigo without restriction. In Eng land the use of Indigo is stated to have been forbidden during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but this is not exact ly true, as the edict had reference to the woad plant, which was submitted to fermentation or -putrefaction, and caused nuisance by the vapors it evolved; in. Germany, at Nuremberg, they compelled the dyer to take an oath not to use that corrosive and poisonous color, handed over to man kind by the devil himself" and capital punishment was inflicted on all who their oath. In spite, however, of all opposition, the struggle ended in the utter defeat of woad, which is now merely regarded as a curiosity and has ceased to be an article of commerce. The Birmingham Post

Ruskin" and "Art and Architecture in
 Oxford,' the latter subject being illus | trated by visits to the colleges, muse
 ums, eac., of the ancient city.
 I;uskin Hall can take twentyfour students at one time, and, so far, there have been more applicants than vacan- cies. Moral character and ability to
 read intelligently" are the only qualifii-
 cations, there being no age limit or
 creed test. A man may go there for a
 week, month or a year, according to
 his opportunities, although it is believ-
 ed that in most eases the stay will
 extend into months. The majority of the present students are artisans from
 the North of England, in whom the
 Board School has instilled a desire for
 the higher culture, London being also
 well represented. In some eases their
 employers, taking a sympathetic inter-
 est in the matter, have given them leave of absence for six or twelve months; in other cases fortified by little saving, they have risked the loss of their employment for the sake of brief time of intellectual luxury.
 It is practically a lf-governing lit- tie community. A small Committee of Management Is elected each week. It arranges the rota of work, according to which A and B cook the dinner, c makes the beds, D washes the floor, and so on, It likewise buys the food, sub ject, of course, to certain financial limi- tations, and arranges every other de- tail for the welfare of the inmates The only restriction imposed excludes alco- holic liquor, and the warden assured me that the affairs of no household could man passes the time as he pleases, and his only complaint is that some will read too much. In accordance with the Oxford practice, the afternoon should be sacred to physical exercise, and most of the students do spend it in playing football, rowing or walking. At the time of my visit, tea was taking place in the garden of Ruskin Hall, and the talk appeared to be partly of the | recreations One or two I learned, were reading for a degree, and they often had to be re- minded that the body as well as the | brain requires exercise.-The Sketch.
