Plans for the Philippines.

Washington, Sept 27-It has been
definitely determined to create four de-
partments in the Philippines, as out
lined in these dispatches few days
ago. There are yet some details to be
worked out and possibility of changes
in the lines of the departments. The
latest plan contemplates two depart
ments in the island of Luzon, one talk
ing in Manila and it's environs and ex-
tending north, covering all the territory
occupied by Gen. Macarthur. The other
department probably will be in the
north of the island, with Headquarters
on Lingayen bay. Each of these depart
ments in Luzon will be under major
general. department probably will
be established covering the Visayan
group of islands and another the Sulu
group. Each of these would be under
the command of a brigadier general.
The plan is not fully arranged, but the
latest proposition embracing these fea-
lures meets with approval at the war
department

Sand for Dyspepsia.

''Eat half teaspoonful Of sand day
and you'll be healthy" says Louis Con-
ners, Chicago baker, according to the
Chicago Tribune.
COnners takes his own medicine and
swallows a mouthful Of sand in a glass
OF water every "a hours. He declares
that he thrives on the peculiar diet,
and that all Of his family are sand
eaters, more or less
'No, / don't buy it at the drug store;
sea sand nor none o. that" says Con-
ners; al just dip q eupful Of sand and
slit and drift all mixed up out on the
lake front. Then I wash the dirt out
Of it, and eat the sand. / think ID
probably would do just as well to eat
dirt and all, but I'm little particular
about my diet"
Conners' theory is that every human
being, like some lower animals, needs
a certain amount Of sand in the stom-
aeh to aid digestion.
afr instance, a canary bird" says
Conness, Twill die in few days unless
it gets sand or something OF that kind
to eat A child, if it's allowed to crawl
around, will eat dirt, lots oft, and then
the mothers invariably give their chill
dren q prompt spanking for doing the
very thing that's good for them"
Corners has been eating sand abOst
six months, and declares he hasn't had
twinge of dyspepsia since he began
the odd diet.

The corn-eanning industry Of Maine,
now very important product Of the
State, had its origin thirty years ago,
perhaps more, when some small fac
tories for canning the sweet corn Of
Msine were elected in that State, and
from year To year the canneries have
been enlarged and the methods em-
ployed in preserving the corn have adj
vanced. Now, instead Of cutting the
kernels from the cob by hand ma
chine is used Machinery also fills the
cans, seals them, labels them-in fact,
human hands touch the corn but twice
from the time it leaves the field until
it is on the table, the picking and husk-
ing being the exception.
During the winter months agents TOR
the different packing houses visit the
farmers who have land adapted to corn
raising and contract with them for =
certain amount Of acreage. The seed
corn is furnished without cost to the
farmer by the packing houses, but he
has to stand for his fertilizer, and il be-
hOoves him to be liberal in bis use
nutriment, for his crops yield larger.
After the latter part of August and
during the month Of September the
farmers load the great carts with the
ears from baskets as they are removed
from the stalks When the first load
arrives at the factory bushel basket
of the corn in the husks is taken from
the load, stripped Of silks and husks
and taken to the cutting machine.
Usually bushel of corn on the ear
will yield about eight quarts Of corn
kernels, and the farmer is paid for hi,
entire crop on that basis.
Under a great shed, with the sides
open, the corn is dumped in huge piles,
and then the huskers commence work
at four cents for each basket husked.
As they I'LL basket it is carried to the
foreman, who gives them check for
it, and when they have collected
twenty-five he exchanges with them
for check good for 81 at the COM
pany's Office.
From the huskers the corn goes TO the
cutters, to the sitter, where all foreign
matter is removed, with comparatively
no waste of good corn; thence to the
steamer, filler, cappers, sealers, cooker,
cooler, and, lastly, to the labelling room,
where the autographed labels are put
on previous to being packed in the box
for shipment. 1t takes less than ten
minutes from the time the corn leaves
the husker for it to reach the cooker,
where it remains for an hour and five
minutes.
The method OF detecting sour corn
after it has been cooked is novel. AMER
the corn has cooked it is struck sharply
on the end of log, and il either end Of
the can swells it is sent back to the
cooker and the recooking renders it
sweet.
This years stock Of Maine corn will
be about SOC, 900 cases or 10,OOO, 900 caus
and represents about 81, $4,000. This
Of course, is in the naked article before
ii goes to the wholesaler.

Beware Of Food Ssmpl~s.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poisoning by the
use Of powder sent to the victims by
mail. In Leavenworth, Kans, the
other day nearly every doctor in town
was called to attend the children who
who had gathered up, eaten, and been
made i'll by samples Of an article left at
houses by eanvassers for advertising
purposes.
Alum baking powders are largely
used for this sampling business. Yet
there is nothing more liable to lead to
danger than the practice Of using the
various samples of baking powder left
at the door. They are presented by ir-
responsible parties, in appearance are
not distinguishable from arsenic, and
indeed, in Indiana some time since one
package was found, after it hsd caused
the death Of the housewife, to have
been mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse al samples Of
food or medicine offered at the door.

How Upton Started.

The Home Magazine tells this story
Of Sir Thomas Lipton's start in busi-
ness:
Young Upton went to London with
borrowed capital of about $500. He
rented small shop, spent one-half Of
this sum in purchasing a stock Of tea,
getting it cheap for cash, and the other
half he put in separate box to be used
entirely and exclusively for adver-
t;sing.
This was the time when $40 1000 per-
day advertising houses were an I'M
known proposition, so that it was
not surprising that Lipt1n's friends
shook their heads at his scheme. But
the scheme worked to perfection.
Marking his goods at the very low
est figures-which were lower than
those of other tea merchants, for It was
not customary at that time for merch-
ants to pay cash for their stOck-Lip-
ton got ready for his advertising. He
bought two of the fattest hogs that
could be found anywhere in London,
had them carefully scraped and clean
ed, tied pink ribbons around their
neeks, and sent them wsddling through
the crowded streets, each led by man
dressed in pink, and having between
them another man carrying q banner
upon which were inscribed the words,
ave are going to Lipton's pink tea.
Come along yourself9
OF course the shop was crowded with
in an hour. The low price caught the
peoples fancy, too, and business be-
came so brisk that, instead Of serving
behind the counter as he had originally
intended for about year, LiptOn was
compelled to employ dozen clerks to
do that work, while he attended ex-
ciusively to the getting out Of new sd-

A Corruption Fund.

The information comes from Phila-
deiphia that the insurgents who will
next year begin an assault on the reg
ular Republican organization have
been busy accumulsting barrel for
campaign purposes, and that already
almost 500, 900 has Seen accumulated,
with prospect Of ultimately collect
ing $500. 900. Now, this money, as IS
publicly stated, is to be used for cam
paign purposes, and, IL so, it cannot
legitimately be so used. There is no
exigency that may arise that will call
for the expenditure of such an enor-
nous sum OF money, and If it is used it
is fair to presume that it will be used
illegitfmately. What picture? Here
are the men posing as reformers, cry
ing "down with the corrupt machine"
and st the same time raisirg q cOrrup-
ton fund Of 500. 900 to carry out their
purpose Of defeating the regular Re
publican organization. Do these al
legged reformers imagine for one mo-
ment that the people do not know
what they are doing? Have they an
idea that they ara fooling anybody?
Ifso. they had better dispossess them
selves of it at once. The people know
that that amount OF money cannot be
expended honestly in a primary elee-
ton in this State, and they draw the
inference that it is to be expended dis
honestly. Some OF the men engaged
in the fight against the regular Repub-
lican organization owe all they have to
the Republican party. Outside Of the
opportunities they secured through the
party organization they never had
chance to accumulate wealth, but it so
happened that they made the money
while doing party work, and, for all
we know, they made it honestly. And
now they propose toexpend the money
as corruption fund to defeat the regu-
lar party organization. They will fail
this time as they have failed every year
since 1895, when the fight against the
organization began, aud the people
will keep an eye on the men who will
expend this immense corruption fund.
Perhaps there may be some more Jail
cases.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

Why Meats Cost More.

The advance in the price Of beef
which has taken place this summer is
ascribed chiefly to the decrease in the
number OF cattle in this country. while
the fact that the country is so prosper
Gus that people generally have more
money to spend than usual has caused
q greater demand for choice cuts Of
beef. Ray Staunard Baker, in an arti-
Gle in the current number of Harper's
Weekly, explaining the rise in the price
Of meat, quotes the figures Of the De
partment Of Agriculture to show how
great a decrease there has been in the
number of cattle during recent years.
1t appears that in January, 1890, there
were SO, ,S49, ,024 head of cattle in the
United States, or $50 to every 1000 of
the population. In 1895 the number
had fallen to 81 1854 ZIG, or about 400
head of cattle TO every 900 of the pop
ulation. In the succeeding four years
there has been drop of about 1900. 900
each year, so that there were only 81
994 ,225 in 1899, or about 373 head Of cat
tie to every 1000 OF the population.
Compared with 1892 there are 10, ,OOO, 600
head OF cattle less in the country this
year.
This very large reduction IN the sup
ply Of cattle would seem to be suffi-
cient cause for an increase in the price
Of beef, but it seems strange that the
advance should not have taken place
till this summer. One would naturally
think that the scarcity of cattle would
have made itself felt in the price of
beef some time ago. Mr.. Baker refers
to this phase Of the question vaguely as
follows:
"This enormous decrease in meat
producing animals was not especially
apparent during the prevalence Of hard
times, but the return of prosperity and
the renewed demand for better food
suddenly caused shortage, and a con-
sequent rise In prices"
Hard times have not prevailed for
some time now, yet the price Of beef
did not advance until quite recently,
long after hard times had ceased. 1t
appears that the stock-raisers did not
raise their prices until this summer,
however, which affords a reasonable
explanation for the rise in the price Of
meat at the same time. Mr.. Baker
quotes the price of beef at the stock
yards during the last three summers as
f,llOws: 1897, 81 50 per 100 pounds on
the hoof, or 7.9c per pound for prime
beef; 1895, s. % per 100 pounds on the
hoof, or S.5c a pound for prime beef;
1899, $3.50 per 100 pounds on the hoof,
or 8. 25c pound for prime beef These
figures show an increase Of 2 35c in the
price of prime beef per pound since
1897, aud their large increase means
several millions of dollars in the poek-
eta of the cattie-raisers. The stock
business must, ther- fore, be booming
and the natural result should be a rapid
increase in the number Of cattle which
will in the'course Uf time bring down
the price Of beef again.-Milwaukee
Sentinel.
