Kentucky does not have monopoly

here in Detroit, and in a section where
such a state of affairs would be least
suspected.

of the soldiers brought back with them.

neighborhood most scand'lous. Our
folks had a big pet cat. One mornln
there was the all-iredeSt racket In the
neighborhood you ever heerd. 1t sound
ed like a whole menagerie had broke
loose, and was fightin' a free fur all.
After the shower O. feathers had set
tied down there was no parrot, and the
cat set on the fence a-grinnin'.
Blanks folks made bouts much
fuss as the cat and the parrot did, and
give it out straight that If they
couldn't keep pets we couldn't neither
That very night the cat disappeared,
and we hain't got no track o him
since I have strick orders if one of
them Blanks git on our side o. the
fence to throw him right back ag'ln.

Riley's Jokes ON Halford.

J. Whitcomb Riley did his first liter
airy work in the early seventies, for the

ceived for a poem was suit of clothes
from the late George Harding of the
Indianapolis Herald" About 1876
Riley went East and was wel3amed by
Holmes, Whittier and Longfellow. The
New England newspapers made much
of his visit, and when he returned he
was hero.

Halford, now Major in the United
States army and President Harrison's
Private Secretary, was the editor, and
it used to be Riley's chief delight to

slightest sense of humor, spent many

them.

English and American Locomotives

The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable to design his engine
with a very large margin of power.
If an express engine is designed to
take 200-ton load at fifty miles an
to be increased to 800 tons, the locomo-
tive is still expected to be able take it
and keep time, and usually does so.
Such, at any rate, is the experience of
such an impartial and level-headed OBJ
server as w. M. Acworth If an Amer
lean express be late at one point of
it's journey, the engine is expected to
make up the lost time even if the load
be larger than usual. And, again, this
is generally done.
But if an English engine is given a
single coach above it's prescribed load,
the driver at once insists upon having
pilot" and commonly he gets one.
Or should the weather be bad, with
strong side wind or slippery rail, he
demands an assisting engine and is
accorded one. as a matter of course
Obviously this applies especially to the
case of single-wheelers, which are SO
largely used on some English railways,
because their range of power is much
more sharply limited by adverse con-
ditions than is the case with coupled
engines. But in either case it seems
indisputable that a smaller range of
power is given to an English locomo-
tive than to an American. Charles

DR. E. C. Savidge calls attention to
the admission of surgeons that 70 per
cent. of all cases of appendicitis will
recover without operation, but 90 per
cent. could be saved by operating
promptly on every case as soon as dis
covered. DR. Savidge looks on the de-
bate as of great significance, for physi-
clans are not particularly inclined to
turn all cases to the surgeon. It has
been estimated that there are 10000
new cases of appendicitis discovered
every year in the United States. If
this be true, and the surgeons right,
5000 of the cases would be ruthlessly
sacrificed under medical treatment. AL
though Dr. Savidge is incredulous on
the subject, it is true that autopsies
upon persons who have died from other
causes than appendicitis show old in
fammatory processes about the appen-
dix in one-third of the cases, just as
old tuberculous cicatrices are found in
some lungs where tuberculosis had
never been suspected. This means
that one third of all those who come
to the autopsy table, and by inference
a large proportion of the population,
have been cured spontaneously of an
unsupported trouble, which would have
entailed on them a life endangering
operation had they fallen into the
hands of surgeon of sufficient skill
to make the diagnosis.

Persons who are thinking of entering
on the cultivation of asparagus will find
some useful information on the subject
in the description of the asparagus
canning industry in Central California.
The coast and river islands in the CEN
trail west of the State contain overflow
lands which are specially adapted for
asparagus culture on a large scale. The
climate and the rich sedimentary soil
united to produce a quality and guam
tity of crop unsurpassed in any part
of the world. Soon the possibilities of
the situation appealed to the canning
industry. Asparagus is easy to can;
it handles well, not bruising or defac-
ing easily, and it can be prepared and
cooked by any one, whether skilled in
cooking or not. Ten years ago it was
thought the sale of 100000 two and-a-
half-pound cans in one season was a
record never to be surpassed. Last
season between 10000 and 10000 cases
containing two dozen two-and half
pound cans each, making between l.,
100000 and 100000 cans, were dis
posed of. The industry has received
such an impetus with the revival in
trade that several new gigantic aspar-
agus farms have been started.
