possessing by birth chivalrous love
of women which his sailors life has
keptinviolate, Admiral Dewey thought
when he got married that he could do
nothing less than 81 &c that which he
thought most OF to his wife. The
newspapers, which are responsible for
most OF the misunderstanding be.
tween Americans and for some Of the
wars between America and other
countries, deliberately exasperated
the people by the sensational way
they reported Dewey's gift Of his gift.
1t was not because he was not pleased
with his house but because he thought
more Of it than any thing else he had,
it was not because he did not appre.
ciate that the house was given to him
because the people idOlized him, but
because the house was sign Of a
peoples affection and gratitude, that
he gave it to his wife. No woman
would ever have done it. But the
great Admiral gave it to his wife
thinking the American people would
appreciate the chivalry and generosity.

to his wife. He has not lived enough
on land, or perhaps he has forgotten
the very peculiar noise donkey makes
when he Is mad or hungry. Had lie
been more accustomed to the sound 1t
would not have kept him awake. The
Admiral is entirely mistaken though
II he thinks there is no che to defend
him. There are several million people
in this country who know him the
old time gentleman, the unworldly
finely-tempered old blade that he is.
And it makes us wish we were good
prize-fghters when we hear him
abused. The house was his, given to
him TO enjoy, and in giving it to the
woman who is making him very happy
after his long cruise, he was using it
to his highest enjoyment.
The Chinese show their wisdom in

prOpriate for Chinese god. Ameri-
cans are different. They will not
worship jade or teak or Vermont gran
lite. But they are always in an uproar
because their god has moved unex.
pectedly. Would it not be much
more rational to make an idol out of
stone that cannot move, nor make any
eccentric motions? Anyway one can.
not expect Admiral Dewey to sit cross
legged forever because it is the con.
ventiOnal idol attitude.
The New Library.
That will be happy day for Lin.
coin when such heading will mean a
new library building here. Three new
public libraries in Appleton, Menasha,
and Oshkosh are about to be opened
to the public in Wisconsin. The Ap.
pleton library was started through
agift Of the local Y. NJ. G. A., which
owned an equity in desirable lot.
The association rendered the property
to the city on condition that it would
pay the indebtedness and build and
maintain free library. The city
built the library at cost of $4,000.
1t uses the open shelf plan. The
costliest of the three new Wisconsin
libraries Is ut Oshkosh. 1t was erect
ed on money left by legacy left for
city library by Mr.. Marshall Harris.
The total cost is $4,000. The Men.
asha library was also a gift. 1t cost
s32, $500.
Lincoln is so hopelessly in debt that
1t will be many years before the mu.
nicipality will build, or should build
public library. In the meanwhile un.
less wealthy phi!anthropist donates
public library or the price Of one is
raised by private subscription the
books will have to be housed wherever
light and fire protection can most
satisfactorily be obtained. Philan.
thropic and wealthy citizens are Of so
rare occurrence In Nebraska that it is
almost hopeless to wait for one TO die
and leave meney for a library. Yet
encouraged by the example and good
fortune OF these comparatively small
towns in Wisconsin there Is no reason
why the capital city Of Nebraska, the
home Of three universities and the
dwelling place Of hundreds Of profes.
sOrs and teachers should quite despair.

DESTROYING MINKS.
A Simple Method Which Has Been
Used with Success for a Num-
Der of Years.

To destroy minks, get wide boards
and place them all around the inside of
your yard Tor on the side the minks Il
teri, leaning against the fence and
about six inches out from the bottom, SO
as to leave a run" behind. Place the
boards butt to butt, making loose joints.
and at intervals of two or three boards
make a small hole opening into the yard
under the edges above. Directly behind
these holes place your trap, using a steel
trap and covering it well, as covering a
trap carefully is very important. Make
a hole Just deep enough to leave the trap
level with the surface of the ground,
then cover the jaws and springs with
sawdust or light earth, making every
thing look natural, and drop carelessly
a dead leaf on the pan" so as to cover
It well. Care should be taken not to get
Jumps of earth under the pan" See
that your chain is fastened firmly, or
you may lose your trap. Be careful not
to make the holes under the boards too
large, as some inquisitive bird will get
his neck squeezed. The trap can remain
set both day and night without danger
to the fowls. A mink or weasel will not
climb over the boards when they can
travel on the ground or under. A plan
that can be tried in an open yard is the
following:
Around the fowl-house make piles of
roots, sticks, rubbish, ETC., say three OF
four, and so arrange them as to leave a
small hole in each. Set your trap, well
covered, just in the entrance of tho
holes, and the mink will be caught

EGGS FOR MARKET.
Excellent Goods Must Be FurntsAeS
Invariably tO Hold First.Class
Customers.

For most of us it pays better to raise
Eggs for market than to raise fowls or
broilers. In raising eggs one has q
long, steady market, but for fowls and
spring chickens the same is not always
true. Besides, after we have raised a
chicken for eggs, and she has done the
best she can in laying eggs, we can kil
her and find a market at some price Tor
her. The question of profits then Is
merely a relative matter of cost OF feed
and price for eggs. If good prices can
be obtained for the eggs large profits
are realized, but low prices probably
mean loss. Consequently We must fig
ure out how to get good prices. One To-
Gated a long distance from a good mar
ket, where land is cheap and plenty,
would find egg raising as profitable as
breeding fancy fowls or spring chick
ems. The eggs that come from a great
distance are generally marked seconds
or culls, and they sell at such low prices
that the producers cannot receive much
for them. Only bakers and confection-
ers will buy these poor eggs, and they
are sold by the case, and not even by the
dozen.
Fresh eggs are just as knotty a prob
lem With the consumers as with the pro-
ducers. In the first case it is how to get
absolutely fresh and reliable eggs, and
for the latter it is a matter of how to
reach the consumers directly. The mid
dleman usually ONE in and spoils the
efforts of both sides. He mixes the abb
solutely fresh eggs of n shipper with
those of another, and supplies his GUS
toners with the mixed product. The
consumer in time begins to distrust
everyone, and when a dealer tells him
that his eggs are absolutely fresh he
takes it with a grain of salt. The only
way for the producer is to market his
own eggs or cooperate with others, so
that a representative can go to the mar
ket every day ana sell the eggs directly
to the different purchasers. Of course
this class of customers will be found
only among the wealthy, who can at
ford to pay fancy prices. The fancy
eggs in large cities sell as high as 40 and
so cents per dozen among choice Gus
toners, and if farmers could receive
this they could well afford to peddle
them. Ten or 20 producers in one To-
cality could afford to send one of their
number twice a week to market with
the fresh eggs from their farms, and
they would make more profits in this
way than if they shipped them in the
ordinary way. 1t would not be difficult
to increase the list of first-class custom
ers year by year if excellent goods were
always supplied. In order to retain as
well as secure this trade the very best
of eggs and service must be ungrudg.

POSTAGE ON MANILA MAIL.
Department Preparing M Order Re-

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden is preparing an order reducing
the rate of postage between the Philip
pine islands and the United States.
Domestic postal rates will prevail be-
tween the two countries. The cost of
sending a letter to or from either coun-
try will be two cents an ounce instead
of five cents for each half ounce. the
present rate. The new order will re-
peal previous postal orders in all the
West India islands now controlled by
the United States.
The director of the post for the Phil
ippines and other islands will be al
lowed to fix the rate of postage for all
local matter. Domestic postal rate will
also prevail between the United States
and Porto Rico and Guam. The postal
union rates will prevail between the
