At a recent Jefferson banquet in Milwaukee, Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, said:
 Ours is tbe pa. ty Of the people Unless We serve people honestly and fairly we are faithless to our trust Duty requires us to strike the first blow at corruption within our own party ranks. Let the word go forth That Democracy will not tolerate a man, no matter how profuse bis professed devotion to the party creed, who does not place his obliga lion to the public above any per soGal consideration.
 The above is very true. "Duty acquires us to strike the first blow at corruption within our own party ranks. That's as true as gospel A party that does not purge itself of fraud and corruption and spew put the authors or abettors of fraud within it's own ranks, is unworthy of the confidence and support of the people. To adopt MT. Harrison's words: Let the word go forth that Democracy will not tolerate man, no matter how profuse his profess ed devotion to the party creed, who does not place hls obligation to the public and his party above any per sonal consideration.

AdnIterntfne. Rice.

So cheap and common an article of food as rice is adulterated. The purpose is to give the grains an attractive color, the articles used being oil and paraf1n, but the effect on the rice is deleterious. Those oily substances soak into the grain and make it hard. The result is that more cooking is needed, and even then the rice often remains hard, and, 70 that extent, is made indigestible h addition the oil adds to the weight Of the grain, and thus again the buyer Is cheated The Louisiana Legislature, at its recent session, undertook to cor rect the evil by making the use of oil or paraffin in the cleaning Of rice a mis- demeanor, punishable by fine or im- prisonment. The law is more drastic than a German one on the same sub- ject, the German statute merely requfr- ing that the adulterated rice be labeled "oil finish or "paraHn finish"

THE CHOPS TICK.
Antiquity and Usefulness of This Asiatie
 Implement.

Antiquity and Usefulness of This Asiatie
 Implement
 With the evidences of Asiatic contact supposed to be so strong in Central America, one might have imagined that so useful a device as the simple chop sticks would have secured a footing. These two sticks, held in one hand and known in China as "hasteners or him. ble lads, are certainly the most useful, the most economical and the most eff1- cient device for their purposes ever in- vented by man. Throughout the vast Asian region, embracing population of five hundred million, the chopstiek is used as a substitute for fork, tongs and certain forms Of tWeezers. Even fish, omelet and cake are separated with the ehopsticks, and the cook, the street seayenger and the watch repairer use this device in the form of iron long bamboo and delicate ivory. The bam- boo chopstick was known in China 1000 B. C., and shortly after this date the ivory form was devised. Their use is one of great antiquity in Japan, as at tested by references to it in the ancient records of that country. One may search in vain for the trace of any ob- iect in the nature Of a chopstick in Gen. tral or South America. Knitting needles of wood are found in the work baskets associated with ancient Peruvian num- mics, but the chopstiek has not been found. Curious pottery rests for the chopsticks are exhumed in Japan, but even this enduring testimony of it's early use is yet to be revealed in this country.

have been concluded. The decision Of the Navy
Department to increase the calibre OF its small
arm rifle from twenty-three to thirty was
dus to the practical demonstration OF the
superiority OF the krag -J0rgensen in the
Span ish- American war.
one Of the most interesting experiments OF
the army ordnance officers has been con-
cluded and in consequence the order has been
issued for modification OF the sights SO as to
insure greater accuracy. 1t was found that in
target practice al long distances with the
kraR- J6rgensen II was necessary to aim the
piece AT the lower left-hand corner Of the tar
get in order to score Il bulseye. Considerable
difficulty was experienced in making recruits
understand this. The experiments have
demonstrated that the sights can tie so ar
ranged that it is not necessary to aim off the
bullseye in ordor to strike squarey in the cen
tire OF the target.

one connected with the road Is alive. We built
the Corean company good road. imported
motormen from japan and cars from America.
For some reason the tenders and gongs did
not arrive with the shipment and much trouble
resulted. Interested Coreans insisted on the
road being opened despite the non-nrrival Of
these necessities. and the trouble began.
The formal opening OF the road was to In :

to see the devil wagon run by wire. Soon
after the ear starteda child OF 10 ran across the
track. His father called to the child to come
back The child became frightened and ran
directly in front OF the car. The body was
dreadfully manglel and a mob soon gathered.
The excitement was worse from tho fact
that Seoul had been specializing for weeks on
the cause Of the drought. Many think the
electric wires cut of the influence of heaven
others say there can be no rain until our
power house Is removed from the dragon
When the lifelcess body was taken out
the crowd began to pelt the car with
stones and all on board He'd for their
lives. The car was torn to pieces and
then burned. The wires were pulled down
regardless Of their dcath-deaIing currents, and
a serious accident was averted by turning of
the current at the power house Another car
was sent ont later in the day. only to bt
