Arthur Goebel was on the stand

The Bane Of American Homes.

A physician writing in Woman's
Home Companion speaks in strong
terms against two pernicious habits
sapping the strength of the nation,
claiming that Hurry becomes a habit;
so does worry. 1t is as impossible to
throw off one as the other. The man
who has been in a hurry all his life is no
greater victim to the habit formed in
youth than the woman who continual.
~ worries. Every phase of existence
can be turned into some excuse for wor-
~. When worry gets the upper hand
housekeeping is an irksome task, and
it is sure to poison the whole atmos.
phere of the home. Children brought
up in such a home imbibe it Just as
naturally as they do other character
istics of their parents, and they grow
up in the belief that the world would
not progress if they did not give their
daily modicum of worry to help it
along. Those who do not worry are
looked upon as idle and slothful, and
yet they often accomplish more than
the crowd of habitual workers.

"Oh, yes, he was, ma'am, and I filled

"You never filled a tooth for my hus-

DEVELOPMENT AND REVENUE,
NavigaBIe Streams in China That
Were Recently Opened to FOr-
eign Commerce.

Previous to February, 1898, no for.
eigners could travel in the Chinese EN-
pire except to certain specified points,
chiefly the treaty ports. But at the
date named an edict was issued giving
to foreigners with passports the privi-
lege of visiting any part Of the EN-
pire on pleasure or business, and other
vessels were allowed to navigate the
streams Of the various provinces. I'm.
der the treaty Of Shimonosiki, entered
into with Japan in 1885, many conces-
sions were made, and foreigners were
permitted to establish manufacturing
concerns at the treaty ports, and with
that end in view to bring their own
machinery.
All this would make it appear that
China is a most desirable business
country, says the Chicago Chronicle.
But there is another side to the pic
ture, aside from the natural opposition
to foreigners on the part of the peo-
pie. The taxes which one must pay
make business a %precarious undertake
ing. The customs duties are not high
0A0 SASJ arc larry Dub the
government requires each province to
contribute its share toward the ma
tional expenditures and allows its Of
fcials to devise the ways and means
for collecting the required amounts.
The greatest source Of revenue for
the province is the duty on goods com
ing over their lines from the adjacent
provinces. These duties are known
as 'likin" duties, and they must be
paid not only for taking goods from
one province to another, but from one
subdivision to another. This makes the
taxation extremely heavy. To get
around this and to save the trouble
and cost of frequent examination the
Chinese government agreed to allow
foreigners to send their goods to the
interior free of 'Iikin" taxes by pay
ing an additional so per cent. on the
customs tariff. The foreign merchants
agreed to this willingly, but the pro-
vincial tax collectors frequently ig-
nored the agreements and insisted on
their revenues, and the 80 per cent. be-
came much more before the goods
reached the trader.

STICK TO SIMPLE FOOD.
The American Business Mans Pace
Demands Only Easily DI-
gested Dishes.

There was in the old days far less
ear and tear upon the nerves; and,
under such conditions, digestion was
more completely performed, writes
Mrs. s. T. Rorer, of "Why 1 Oppose
Pies" in Ladies' Home Journal. The
mothers of to-day must look more
carefully to the building of their
bodies and brains than their moth
ers and grandmothers did. Indeed,
at the pace at which we Americans
are going we use our brains at full
speed nearly all the time. What man
can build brain and Drawn on pies,
layer cake or preserves, or any other
mass of material which from its very
complexity requires labor and time
for digestion, drawing the blood from
the brain to the stomach during his
working hours? Observe those who
eat their complex foods ~carelessIy
and hastily, and you will see at a
glance the conditions that necessi-
tate a complete rest every now and
then, or an early nervous break
down.
In my close observation in the last
90 years 1 find very few people in our
common struggle for existence who
can for any length of time eat care
lessly of complex foods. At 40 or
50 a man may perhaps have accumu-
lated wealth, but not health; and of
what erthly use is the first without
the second? Many persons in the
generation gone before have eaten
pies at least once a day, but they
have not had meat three times a day,
o have they rushed at our pace.
They gave more time to the diges.
ton of the pie. People who recon-.
mend these rich foods rarely know
anything of their complex condi.
tions, and still less of the completely
of digestion.

RACED FOR A FORTUNE.
a Deal Is 1pttoa Futures 81 . Cens
tury Ago THAT depended on
Horses' Speed.


Cotton futures were dealt in nearly a
century ago In South Carolina. Tboin-
formation of the first recorded transac-
tion Of this kind ig contained in the
"reminiscences Of 2. j. Scott, who was
the oldest Columbian at the time Of his
death o few years ago, having been
born fl 1902. The paper, written for
the information and OBLIGATION Of his
grandchildren, contains many incl
dents Of more than passing interest,"
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Gen. Wade Hampton, father Of the
present venerable soldier and states
ulan, was d party to the cotton deal,
and it is not surprising that as that
gentleman was then the chief patron
81 the turf in South Carolina, that a.
remarkable horse race was Involved.
Ainsley Hall, who came from England
as q clerk, and afterward established
himself there as a merchant and cot
ton buyer, had, when the war Of 1912
closed, a conditional contract with
Gen. Hampton for the purchase Of
Hampton's three crops Of cotton that
had been stored pending the close Of
hostilitieS. A large amount was in
volved, as the general was perhaps the
most extensive planter in the state at
that time, working hundreds Of slaves
in his cotton fields. The sale was made
at q stipulated price provided Han sig
nifed his confirmation of the bargain
to kirkpatrick & Co, their mutual fac
tors in Charleston, before it was re-
scinded by Hampton's order.
The news Of peace between England
and America was received in Columbia
by both Hampton and Hall about the
same hour. The latter had not yet con-
frmed the cotton trade, and as it was
known that cotton would Immediately
advance 300 or 400 per cent, each
was interested to the amount of about
$4,000 in first communicating with the
factor in Charleston-the n to CON
firm and the other to nullify the agree
ment.
By the old stage road, which was
very rough in those days, Charleston
was 1877 miles from Columbia, and the
swiftest communication was, Of course,
by mounted messenger. Hall FASTENED
away a little, wiry, tough Scotchman
in his employ, mounted on a feet horse,
to close the contract with kirkpatrick,
while Gen. Hampton started his most
trusted negro jockey, astride of his
best racer, bred and trained to run
eight miles, with a note revoking the
conditional contract.
The little Scotchman had two hours
start and was told to win the race
without considering the Life of the real
ly splendid horse he mounted. The
negro jockey, however, was ordered to.
ride fast, but with Judgment, and not
injure the pride Of the Hampton
stables.
1t was remarkably close run for the
distance. Two days of racing brought
the ambassador of Hall to the door Of
Kirkpatrick's office on a horse that was
dead spent and died Of fatigue ten min
utes later, while, with long, easy stride,
the Hampton thoroughbred came to
the door, with plenty of reserve force,
but just losing by a nose one of the big
gest purses ever raced for in this coun,
try.

wives,

The woman who does her canning
by the "boiler process" i. e., by cook
ing the fruit in the cans, should have
the tinsmith make her a false bottom
to her boiler, Of heavy tin, with a
wire rim, and strengthened across the
bottom by strips of galvanized fence
wire goldered on about four inches
apart. Holes must be made in the
tin to permit air and steam TO es-
cape. Cans can be set on this, the
water put in, cover put in place, and
the work Of cooking the fruit goes
merrily on while the housekeeper does
something else, says the Detroit Free
Press.
To prepare parafine for use in COW
ering jellies, etc, shave it up, put into
a pitcher or pint cup and melt it by
setting it in a vessel Of hot water,
while the jelly is stil warm pour
this over it, sufficient to make a thin
coat over all. It effectually keeps out
mold.
A good way to keep hams through
the summer, is to make bags of heavy
cotton large enough to hold a ham

stuff a little hay round it on the
