Washington, Jan. 5.-Major Hopkins.

testified before the war investigating
commission yesterday regarding sani-
tary conditions at the camps at Tampa,
Camp Thomas and Camp Alger. 1t was
the old question of sinks. drainage and
camp police, and the testimony of the
witness was little different from pre-
ceding witnesses. He had not approved
of the conditions at Camp Thomas, and
in accordance with his report an order
was issued on Aug. Is for its abandon
ment. He knew of no adverse report
ever having been made to the secretary
of war on Camp AIger. If there were
any complaints they were merely in
dividuaL He knew of no complaint as
to any camp that was not promptly
investigated.
Praises the "Embalmed" Beef.
Major Harrison, Ninth volunteer in
fantry, whose regiment was raised near
New Orleans and is now in service at
Santiago. was next called. Concerning
commissary stores. he said those in the
United States were the best that could
be bought in the open market. The re-
friGerated beef sent from this country,
he said, was excellent. He had had
much experience with refrigerated meat
and he said that while there was some
disposition on the part of the regi-
mental cooks to cavil at the appearance
of the meat it was in reality quite good.
He explained that the sudden change of
temperature on removing the meat
from the refrigerator ships produced
what is known as a beard" a greenish
growth that had to be scraped off When
this was done the meat beneath was
perfectly good. 1t was issued to the
men with excellent results and bene-
fittd the sick materially.
Hoof Cattle Caused Trouble.
The chief trouble came when the
change was made to hoof cattle sent
from Porto Rico. This beef Mayor Har-
rison killed himself and personally su-
perintended its dressing and cooling.
But it would not cool in that climate
he said very emphatically. The meat
never lost its animal heat, and with its
use our sickness increased 10 per cent.
In a country where our dead putrefied
in six hours you will easily understand
that meat killed and exposed to the
atmospheric changes with coagulated
blood and the attacks of flies will spoil
much sooner. Our board of survey had
no work to do except condemning and
burning this local killed beef" OF the
canned meat Major Harrison spoke with
equal emphasis. saying that it was fully
as good as the refrigerator beef. was
well received by the men and none Of !
1t had to be condemned.

TWO INDIAN SOUVENIRS.
Typical War Dances Recorded by
the Photograph for the EthnO-
logical Museums.

1.-THE government chronological bureau
has gone to extraordinary pains to pre-
serve complete record of the vanish
ing Indian races said an employee of
the department of the interior recently.
''Take the Apaches, for instance. In
addition to an enormous collection of
costumes, weapons, implements. deco
rations and all the articles used in their
daily life the bureau has lately added
two souvenirs of unique interest. Abb ut
a year ago several agents were sent t"
one of the western reservations aEu
took Photographic record at num-
Der of typical war darces. The instru-
ment was operated by chemical bat
terry weighing over 100 pounds, and re-
corded not only the chants, but the eS-
carnations of the spectators and even
the thudding of the feet.
Last spring the same dances were
repeated in front of vitascope pho
tographing machine, and years after
the last Apache has gone to the happy
hunting grounds the ancient ceremony
may be seen AMI heard exactly as it
was. The general public knows but
very little about the chronological mu-
scum, but it is one of the most interest
ing sights in Washington"

RANGE FOR TURKEYS.
The Birds Should Not Be Conflne ID, Ex-
cept Few Weeks Before They
Arc to De Sold.

The turkey is fowl that has been
least time domesticated by man. The
Indians never tried to tame them, and it
is considerably less than 300 years since
any attempt was made to domesticate
this bird. One result of the wild nature
of the turkey is that it will not bear
to be confined. Even the domestic hen
will not be so good mother to the
turkeys in their later stages as the
turkey hen. She will take long jaunts
in the fields catching grasshoppers and
other insects, and when frost loosens
the beechnuts on the trees the turkey
hen will take her brood to the woods
and live on whatW was in their wild state
the main feed OF the turkey during
winter. A beechnut diet gives the tur-
key better flavor than any other food.
Buckwheat, which is an angular grain
like the beechnut, is, perhaps, the next
best grain for turkeys, but it lacks the
oil with which the beechnut abounds.
When turkeys are put up to fatten,
which is the only time they should be
confined, it is worth while to mix a
few beechnuts with their feed. This
will keep the other food from caking in
their crops, and enable the turkey to
fatten faster, besides improving the
flavor of their flesh. To have good
favored meat the turkeys must be kept
from indigestion, which always creates
fever. For this reason the fattening of
turkeys must usually be completed in
ten days to two weeks after they have
been confined in a dark place where
they can do nothing but eat.-American
Cultivator.

AFRAID TO BE AFRAID.
A Situation in Which 1t Was Dans
gerOus to Show the Slight
est Fc0r.

There are situations in which timid
man cannot, out of consideration for
his own safety, show tie slightest fear.
A writer describes such situation on
board a ship which was transporting a
great lumber of coolies across the
ocean, many of them desperate and
brutal men.
One day at luncheon in the saloon the
passenger heard horrible yells and
shouts of ''Ta! tai" ca fight! a tightly

jolly row below! Better stay where you
are. You'll find loaded revolver in my

Lighting his pipe and calling his dog,
fierce-looking English bull, the cap
tain went OH deck to see what was the
matter. The coolies were fighting say
agely; broken bowls and pieces of fire.
wood were flying about, and several of
the men had ugly-looking knives drawn.
Into the midst of them walked the cap
tain, knocking first one and then an
other aside.
One fearful-looking coolie aimed a
blow at him with broken basin, but
before the blow could descend the dog
brought the man down on his back and
held him there. The two principal Of
tenders were caught, their heads
banged together until the fight was out
of them and an explanation asked. Ev-
crybody wanted to talk at once, but the
captain held up his hand till there was
silence, and then called one man after
another and heard each through an in
terprcter:
The row turned out to have been
caused by man trying to light his
pipe at an opium smokers lamp. The
most trivial thing often caused the
worst fight. After all was over the pas
senger said to the captain: "Are you
not afraid of these people?"
EYES," said the captain, ITO tell the
truth, 1 am. But to show the least fear
among such a crowd as that, or to lose
my temper, might lead to my death On
the spot. l cannot afford to show that
1 am afraid. But I am getting used to
it."-Chambers' Journal.

in the same way if 1 can help it. On
that occasion couldn't help it, owing
to the irresistible girl and the subtle

the chops on. These Jones-Brown-
Smiths are ultra-swells, and as such
will never consider the food so long as
the ware is rich and artistic. Now, the
chops will cost fifty cents, while the
quail would cost three dollars"

intuition, "and them"
"Then buy the chops in the same
spirit that you bought the gloves; you
will thereby save two dollars and Il

ed briar pipe in which to smoke the to-
bacco I am to purchase with the gold
you saved on the glove DEAL"
Before she could send home the
Parthian arrow she was fitting to the
string, the conductor thrust his head
roughly through the door and shouted:
''Nfosquitohurst!"
Then they stepped off and went home.
After they were comfortably seated in
the library awaiting the announcement
of dinner, he said:

Killing on Young Rooster.,

The great plague of the beginner in
poultry, whose object is to produce the
greatest number of eggs, is the large
proportion of non-layers that are found
in every flock that were spring Matched.
1t is, we think, the rule that later
matches have still larger proportion
of cockerels. But be they few or many,
all except the one or two that are to be
kept for breeders should be killed and
marketed when of broiler size. Their
sex can then be determined easily by
anyone used to poultry, and in the late
summer the broiler will sell for eating
for as much money as it would bring
when fully grown, besides saving the
feed and care required to keep until
that time.-American Cultivator.

the steer when he stands in the mar

with emphasis; perhaps you think
you can get around your forgetfulness

PIG.PEN POINTERS,

Lice can be driven from hogs by ap-
plying kerosene or fish oil, with paint
brush.
Those small, unstable potatoes,
cooked, would make an excellent fat
tening food for the hogs.
Pigs need little or no bedding in
summer; dry, shady knoll is far bet
ter than board straw bed.
1t is quite a remarkable fact that the
bite of pig is dangerous; although
comparatively rare, it takes a much
longer time for such injuries to heal,
than those of the horse or dog. Keep a
safe distance between yourself and a
cross hog.
Did you ever notice the little knots
of worms in hogs intestines at
slaughtering time? Well, IS drops of
turpentine would rid the hog of the
long stringy worms, and two ounces Of
quassia-chips in pint of boiling water,
injected, when cool, would kill the
shorter ones.-Midland Farmer.
