AT this time the tiger was fully 30 yards

himself into favorable position for almost
certainly fatal shots. Besides that. it Was an

Maxim was himself a .dyspeptic, and being,

student in chemistry his mind was natural
ly turned to the solving of the great problem
of digestion.
One day it thus happened that while con-
Quoting experiments with peptonized milk
a glass of this substance, which he held in
his hand, slipped and fell from his grasp,
and became mixed with other elements in
such proportion that the long soug ht for
protein was formed. With the true and I'M

realized in moment the Importance of his
discovery-the discovery of Protein from
Pepsnized Milk.
Mr.. Maxim, after curing himself with the
menting with it upon others Every dyspep-
tic whom he experimental upon was cured ;
and since then the reputation of the new
substance has been spreading with great
rapidity. All learned physicians agree in
advancing the medicine, because they under

How We Took Iloilo.
No Prisoners Taken-Chinese and Native
Parts of Town Burned.

Parts of Town Burned.
MANILA, Feb. 14.-11 So A. M.-Partic-
ulars Of the capture of Iloilo by the
United States forces, under Brig. Gen.
NJ. D. Miller, on Saturday last, have been
received here.
On the morning of Friday Feb. 10,
Gen. Miller sent an ultimatum to the
commander of the rebels on shore, notify
ing him that it was his intention to take
lloilo. by force if necessary. Non com
batants and foreigners were warned to
leave town within "a hours. The rebels
were also warned that they must make no
| further beligerent preparations.
| The gunboat Petrol was then moved to
position close in shore, and near the
rebel fort, while the cruiser Boston took
| up her station at the other end of the
| town.
Friday passed quietly. During the day
| many refugees left the town of Iloilo, the
majority of whom were taken on board
the foreign ships lying in the harbor
Search lights from the United States
warships were kept all night long illum-
mating the town and its defenses. The
rebels, so far as the outlook on the ships
out the night
At o'clock on the morning of Sat
urday, Feb. II, the gunboat Petrol sig
nailed to the cruiser Boston that the
rebels were working in their trenches
In return the Petrol was ordered to fire
warning shots upon the town from her
three Founders. This was done, and the
rebels replied with harmless fusilade.
The Boston and the Petrol then bonn
barded the rebel trenches, completely
clearing them of occupants in very short
space of time.
Soon after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in vari-
Gus parts of the town. Thereupon As
Marines acting as infantry and artillery,
were landed from the cruiser Boston and
a company was sent ashore from the gun
boat Petrol. These attachments marched
straight into the town of Iloilo and hoist
ing the Stars and Stripes over the fort
took possession of the place in the nams
of the United States.
The capture of the town and its de
fences having been accomplished, the ma
rines and soldiers who had been sem
ashore proceeded to the task Of saving the
: American, English and German consulates
! from destruction by the fire which was
raging among the frail and inhammablt
structures of the town. The Swiss con.
suls residence, in the same row as the
consulates named, was burned The en-
tire Chinese and native sections of the
town were destroyed, but foreign mercan-
tile property escaped with slight damage
There was some desultory fighting by
the enemy in the outskirts of Iloilo, but
not single American was injured.
Gen. MiIler's force had complete con
troll of the situation when the gunboa
Petrol sailed from Ilolo for Manila.
The 9th Z. 5. Artillery Regiment occu
pied a position commanding both thu
bridges leading into the town, and til,
Tennessee Volunteers and the 18th IT, S
Infantry were occupying the trenches
that had been constructed for the rebels

Maine Agricultural Experiment Ste
ton,

Cotton Seed Meal. Is it Adulterated?
The agricultural page of Maine news
paper recently contained a note of warn
ing regarding the quality Of the cotton
seed meal offered in the State. The off
cial fall inspection had not given occasion
for apprehension. The January inspec-
ton confirms the results of the fall in
spection and indicates that the State is
remarkably free from low grade meal and
that even the low grade meal is for the
most part properly guaranteed.
Ninety four samples of cotton seed
meal have recently been analysed at the
Station. While a few of these samples
have been sent by correspondents, the
most OF them were drawn by the Station
inspectors. They are chiefly from the
dairy sections Of the State, including the
counties of Hancock, Waldo, Penobscot
Plscataquis, and the whole of the State
west OF the kennebec. OF these ninety
four samples, two were low grade. I'M
guaranteed goods in Hancock county
Two other samples were |, W grade goods
these were found in Androscoggin and
Penobscot counties and were both from
the same wholesale house. The firm
claimed that their shipper made mistake
in tagging the Androscoggin cotton seed
meal, and that instead Of having tags
guaranteeing 43 per cent. Of protein, the
meal should have carried tags guarantee
ing 20 per cent. This change of tags was
made. The case in Penobsoot county is
being investigated
From the above facts it appears that
practically all of the cotton seed meal
being sold in the State is up to the
guarantee. While it behooves the dealer
and consumer to carefully examine both
goods and tags, there is little likelihood
OF being deceived in quality. In all cases
OF doubt, persons are advised to consult
with the Station. Samples drawn in &C
cordance with directions furnished by the
Station, will be promptly examined, free
OF charge. Dealers and consumers are
urged to avail themselves Of this offer.
Such cooperation is essential to insure
! the best results from the law. Blanks
and full directions for drawing samples
will be sent on application.

Items in the Appropriating Bill OF Interest
to Maine.
An act making appropriations for the
construction, repairs and preservation of
certain public works on rivers and har-
bors, has passed the Senate and is now be-
fore the house. A copy of this act was
shown an Express reporter today and such
appropriations as affect Maine will doubt
less be of interest to readers. They are
as follows: Improving Moosabec bar, COM
pleting improvement, 81, 900 For the
construction OF breakwater from Mount
Desert to Porcupine island, continuing
improvement, SO, 900. Improving har-
Dor at Sullivan Falls, in accordance with
the approved project, 50, 600. Improving
Carver harbor at Ninalhaven, continuing
improvement, SD, 900. Improving bar
Dor at Cape Porpoise, in accordance with
the report of jor S. W. Roessler, OF
Jan. 10, 1899, $40, 600 Provided, that a
contract or contracts may be entered into
by the secretary of war for such materials
and work as may be necessary to complete
the project recommended in said report, to
be paid for as appropriations may from
time to time be made by law, not to ex-
coed in the aggregate $50, 600, exclusive oil
the amount herein appropriated.
Rivers: Improving Bagaduce river, Con
timing Improvements, 50, 600. Improving
Narragaugus river Completing improve
ments, IS, 900. Improving Lubec chan
mel. Continuing improvements, $25, 600
Improving Georges river. Continuing i'm
provements, $4,000. Improving Union
river. Continuing improvements, SIS, 600
Improving Saco river, including breakwa
ter, s., 900.
If the house passes the act the above
amounts will probably remain practically
unchanged so considering everything
Maine will fare pretty well.

From our view point, there are three
visible causes fOr the condition complain
ed of.
Firstly, and fundamentally, the average
man regards children and their interests
with no real seriousness. Aside from
little spasmodic delight over his first baby,
his own children ret little Of his attention;
they are mere trivial incidents in his life,
vastly less important than the machinery
OF his factory, or the taVoIites of his rae
ing stud. The employees in his shop and
his customers are real entities which are
To be taken seriously, but his children are
only ''the kids, and with h ppy nditfer-
ence he leaves them to be managed Jointly
by their mother, the nursery maid and the
school teacher.
Another cause is found in the fact that
the work Of the school is 50 far ont of
touch with the things of real life. There
is in its traditional grind too little that
is of interest to the busy man of the world.
II e is bored when he visits the school, md
hears the children ring the changes on rel
alive pronouns, complex fractions, the ar
mails of the French and Indian War, or
other matters of equally vital import that
are never heard of outside the school
room. He would be interested enough
and would come again if he could find the
children dealing with matters that really
concern this busy, practical fe. There
are schools in this country that practical
business men enjoy visiting, and do visit,
but they are not the schools that are run
ming along in the ruts of a half century
ago.
Again, the work of the school would
gain more attention and the teachers them
selves would get more recognition and re-
spect from practical men, if they would
enter more into the important life and af
fairs of the community The teacher who
is known outside the school room, who be-
comes a factor in the social and public life
of the community, who meets the business
men of his town in the lodge room, the
political convention, or the public meet
ing, ON equal terms, and shows himself to
be a man of force, and practical intelli-
/ gence, will have much more chance of
awakening public interest in his school
work, than has the man who is never heard
of beyond the doors of his school room.
We believe the tendency is clearly in the
| direction OF larger recognition of the
educational factor in human affairs, a rec
ognition that will be greatly increased as
our schools are drawn out the traditional
ruts and come to be active agencies in fur
| therlng the interests of practical human
affairs. The teacher, more than all other
members of the. community, has it in his
power to bring about this result, but to do
SO he must be something more than mar
row visioned, bookish pedagogue, a pros
trate and petrited worshipper of educa-
tional traditions. Learning by Doing.
