that he represented nobody but him

Sailor Killed and Others Injured
While Firing IA salute.
Washington Post.
Secretary Long yesterday cabled to
Admiral Watson at Manila for a re-
port upon the accident on board the
Wheeling whereby one sailor was kill
ed and several wounded at Hong
Kong while firing salute in honor Of
Emperor Williams birthday anniver-
sary. In Admiral Watsons absence
the inquiry was replied to by Capt
Wilde, the senior naval officer at Cav
lite. His statement that the accident
resulted from the explosion of blank
cartridges does not throw much light
upon the cause, but it has confirmed
officers in their original contention
that the gun did not burst. The cable
gram from Capt. Wilde is as follows:
"CAVITE, January 81, 1900.

Arnold Campbell, gunner's mate, third
class, was killed; Albert Nelson, gun

site side, high up on the board. These
holes will furnish ventilation for the
lamp. In the board that forms the
back side cut out piece seven inches
square, Ringing it at the top. This
forms an opening through which the
lamp is passed. On top of the frame
fasten a piece of sheet iron two feet
square. On this, all around the edge,
put a cleat one and a quarter inches
square, mailing it firmly to the frame
through the sheet iron. A half-inch
augur hole is bored through each of
the side cleats near the front of frame
by which air may be furnished to the
hot air chamber. This completes this
part of the brooder.
Next make tight platform of
matched boards two feet square. A
piece of tin two inches in diameter is
bent in shape and several small holes
are made in the sides near the ends.
An old baking powder box with the
ends removed will be just the thing.
Cut small hole in the center of the
floor or platform into which this tin
box will fit, fastening it to the boards
with tacks through the small holes.
pas wires through the holes at the
other end to prevent the chicks from
falling in. Attach three sides to the
platform with two cleats fastened ON
the inside for the cover to slide on.
The lower set of cleats is placed about
three inches from the top of the
board, the other set about. an inch
fro mthe top. This permits the cover
being set lower when the chicks are
first put in the brooder, and being
raised as they grow. Make the cover
of light stuff and fasten a handle TO
it for ease in moving.

SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confded
to DR.. r. v. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pcctation of advice and help. That few
OF these women have been disappointed
IN their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety Eight per cent. of all
women treated by DR.. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-rnil-
lion women, in a practice of over thirty
years, 1t is phenomenal, and entities DR..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DIR.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
1t is read In private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as sacred con-
hdence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to DR.. R. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N Y.

Fasten the two parts, the two boxes,
together with nails and make an in
clined plain two feet long for the
chicks to run up on, boxing it in a.
the sides as shown in the illustration.
Nail tin cleats on this inclined board
and cover with sand to prevent the
chicks from slipping. Strips of heavy
cloth slashed at intervals may be fast
ened to the front edge of the cover to
assist in keeping the brooder warm.
Spread sand a half an inch deep on
the floor of the brooder and keep the
thermometer in this sand at all times.
The temperature should be kept at rs
degrees as nearly as possible. The
lamp should be one not reqGirng 8
chimney and should be set SO that the
burner will be under the center If the
floor. This brooder will be fo.iuI
most valuable assistant in chicken
raising, whether an incubator OR the
hen is used for Matching
A Portable Pig House.
Experienced hog raisers are decid-
eddy against the use of large buildings
erected with the idea of sheltering the
entire herd under one loof. These
men are inclined to the use of small
er houses, some so small that they
may be properly termed portable hous-
es. The main objection to the large
house is the time necessary to keep it
in good sanitary condition and the al
most certain destruction of the entire
herd should disease once get among
them. The small house has much to
commend it. Build it six feet square
with either a shed roof or a sharp
peak roof. For the stills use 2x6 stuff
and for the rafters 2x4 material; cnt
the latter five feet long and put three
on side for a pitched roof All the
other lumber used should be of light
weight and joined tightly to keep out
cold and wet. Planks may be used
for the roof, covered with roofing pa
per. The door may be made to swing
both ways, but if the house is set SO
that the opening for the door does
not face the wind, a heavy bag stretch
ed across it will answer for a door
except in extreme weather. In cold
climates corn stalks may be laid on
the roof and against the sides for adj
ditional warmth. On high dry ground
no floor will be needed, but when enc
is necessary make it of a size that can
be moved readily. Do not fasteu it
to the building.
Stnggers In Horses.
The disease known as staggers is
quite common among horses and is
generally familiar to horsemen. In
fortunately the symptoms are different
in different horses, depending upon
the extent to which the brain and ner-
vous centers are affected. Staggers
may be divided into three kinds. Sto-
mach staggers, grass or sleepy stag
gers, sometimes called blind staggers,
and mad staggers. also called blind
staggers in its mild form. Stomach
staggers is due to overlooking the
stoamch. which causes acute indigas-
ton. and grass or sleepy (blind) stag
gers is simply a chronic state of
stomach staggers.\ The treatment is
the same for both ltroubles and con-

THE PURE FOOD LAW AGAIN.

Seattle. Wash Ian 81 1900
To the Editor: You have from time to
time given over space in your valuable
paper to the discussion of the pure food
law from various standpoints. and with
your kind permission I would like TO add
a few words TO this controversy from the
standpoint Of the person most vitality in
terested, the manufacturer.
There is no doubt at all that a good pure
food law enacted for the purpose of pro-
tecting the consumer against rnisrepresent-
alton and fraud and protecting the manu-
facturer against unfair competition, would
be of benefit TO this community However
the so-cal,ed White pure food law goes TO
such extremes that forcible enactment
leaves no room at all for a manufacturer
TO exist
A manufacturer Of food nroaucts t,kes
raw materials and with SKIN acouirea hv
years of study and generations Of experi-
ments converts these into the various food
