Aside from the inconvenience there is
danger, not only from fire but from
the weight of these records on timbers

should be a separate building especially
designed for the purpose Of receiving
and preserving the annually accumulat-
ing archives of the several executive de-
partments. Such hall need not be q

ranged as to admit of enlargement from

that the congress take early action in
this matter.

adopted at a recent meeting of the
American Bar association, concerning
the proposed celebration of John Mar
shall Day, February 4, 1901. Fitting ex-
eFcises have been arranged and it is
earnestly desired by the committee that
congress may participate in this move
ment to honor the merits of the great
jurist.
The transfer of the government to this
city is fact of historical interest
Among the people there is a feeling of
genuine pride in the capital of the re-
public. 1t is a matter of interest in this
connection that in 1900 the population of
the District of Columbia was 14093 to-
day it is 27S,S1S The population of the
city of Washington was then 321O; today
tits 21S,196.
The congress having provided for IAN
appropriate national celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the seat of
government in the district of Columbia"
the committees authorized by it have
prepared a programme for the twelfth OF
Tln, 1T la+
lected as the anniversary day. Deep in
terest has been shown in the arrange
ments for the celebration by the menu

mttee of governors appointed by the
president and the committee appointed
by the inhabitants of the District of Co
lumbia generally. The programme in adj

memOrative exercises to be held jointly
by the senate and house of representa-
tives in the hall of the house of repre-

SdC y LID MAlNIAIN LAWS.
The main body of the laws which reg
ulate the rights and obligations of the
people should be maintained with as
little interference as possible. Changes
made should be mainly in procedure and
in the criminal laws to secure speedy
and impartial trials, and at the same
time effective administration and re-
spect for individual rights. In dealing
with the uncivilized hordes of the islands
the commission should adopt the same
course followed by congress in permit
ting the tribes of our native American
Indians to maintain their tribal organ
tzation and government anu under which
many of these tribes are now living in
peace and contentment, surrounded by
civilization to which they are unable
Or unwilling to conform. Such tribal
governments should, however, be sub
ject to wise ana tlrm regulation and
without undue or petty interference
constant and active effort should be ex-
ercised to prevent pal dTous practices
end introduce civilized customs.
Upon :, uiAtc-s s,r,u employees of the
United States, both civil and military,
should be impressed a sense of duty to
observe not merely the material, but
the personal and social rights of the
people of the islands and to treat them
with the same courtesy and respect for
their personal dignity which the people
of the United States are accustomed to
require from each other. The articles

During Mckinley and Il protective tariff medium wool sold. in lS99 for 3l cents per pound. In short the wool producers almost doubled the price of their wool under protective tariff.

School of the Nativity.

On Tuesday, the 4th of September, classes at this school will be resumed. The scholastic year consists of two sessions, each comprising a period of five months. It is well-knOwn fact that the school is thoroughly graded and every effort is made to give the pupils sound moral, as well as in- tellectual training. At stated periods the pupils have reviews in the various branches, thus fitting them for the thorough examination which is made in all the classes at the end of each session. Besides this, monthly reports are sent regularly to parents and guardians. In connection with the school work this year and for the children's benefit. there will be class of plain sewing taught. The hours of attendance are as fOllows:-S:30 to l2 a. m. 1 to 3:3O p. m. For terms see Rev. F. DiIly.

Net a Harmless Disease.

There are large number of whoop. ing cough cases in town. The prevail ing opinion outside the medical profess sion is that it is harmless disease of childhood and the innocent mother too often allows her child to become exposed to the disease. Dr.. l.. Emmett Holt. leading authority on diseases of child ren, says that whooping cough is one of the diseases of infancy most to be dread ed. The statistics of founding hospitals show that fifty per cent of the deaths of infants under the age of two years to be from this disease. While the disease is rarely fatal to children over two years of age. infants under that age should not under any circumstances be exposed to the disease.

STRAW ON THE FARM.
II Has Many Uses and the Man Who
Wastes 1t Does Not Understand
His business.

One of the greatest wastes about
the average farm, especially in the
great grain districts of the west, is
in the straw. Where headers are used
and the straw left to turn under with
the blowing, some of the substance
taken from the soil by the growing
grain is returned to it, but this is
waste as there is not got out OF the
straw the best there is in it. This
method. however, is far better than
another which, strange to say, il
quite general. This is piling the straw
in some slough or out OF the way
nook and leaving it to rot down and
be carried away by the elements.
Probably the most value straw pos
sesses is as a roughness In feeding
cattle. If properly put up and fed,
oat, wheat and fax straw is a valu7
able addition to the rations OF cattle
of all kinds. The reason cattle usual
Nv refuse to touch straw is because 1t
is spoiled or musty. AS much care
should be taken in stacking straw as
in stacking hay. Usually the stack
| ing is done with view of getting the
straw out of the way of the machine
rather than with any thought as to
| it's turning the rain. The stack is
| nothing more than huge pile OF
straw thrown together by three OF
four boys hired to take the dirtiest
and most disagreeable job around the
| threshing machine. The sides AND
top of such a pile will become soaked
with the first rains and before the
winter is well on will be unfit for feed
There are other uses than feeding
that straw can be put to with profit
It makes the best kind of mulchint
for strawberry beds, potato fields
etc., adding richness to the soil ant
preventing the growth of weeds. II
putting up hay sheds and windbreak
it is the best of material to use, as
packs closely, keeping out wind AM

PIGS RELISH ROOTS.
They Form Desirable Additions t.
Winter RatiOns and Promote
Health and Growth.

All farm animals relish succulent
foods, and different forms of vegetable
roots have long been fed more or less
to sheep and cattle as desirable addi-
lions to dry winter rations. Pigs,
however, in winter have usually had
to be content with grain or mill feed
and water, or, perhaps, skim milk.
Succulent food has not been thought
of for them, excepting in few cases.
Some experiments on the suitability
of silage as pig feed have been con-
Quoted, but with most unsatisfactory
returns. It was not found to be de-
sirable pig food. Roots, however,
offer more appetizing substance for
pigs, and here and there is found a
farmer who has fed sugar beets or
artichokes to swine with results that
have called forth his approval. Man
gelwurzels furnish the farmer with
large amount of succulent winter
food in the form of roots. Very great
yields have been reported by various
cultivators, wherein 1t has. been
shown that the cost per ton for pro-
duction is comparatively light. In
1898, at this station, al high as 25A
tons of mangels were produced pei
acre, at cost of only IS cents pei
ton harvested.-C. s. Plumb, Indians

SINGLE WHEEL RUSSIAN CART.
below the axles, being united in an
iron socket a few inches in front OF
the frame. The mules or ponies are
harnessed, not in front, but on each
side of the frame, which is less than
a foot in thickness. A single short
shaft with a fixed transverse bar at
the end, which hooks on to the two
collars, screws into the iron socket
and can thus be made the length re-
quired. The load is placed upon a
double pack-saddle, which rests upon
the center of the frame. Its weight
thus presses almost entirely upon the
central wheel, the two sides balancing
each other, and resting only slightly
upon the backs of the mules, which
are able to employ nearly all their
strength in drawing the load. At the
same time the possibility OF tipping
backwards or forwards is prevented
by the leverage Of the shaft attached
to the collar, just as 1t is in two

food.
Salt is q very important part of the
hogs ration. except when mangel-

Skim milk makes hard bones in
Aogs, as has been proved at the ex-

Skim milk will always prove val

it may prove the death of many pigs.

advice to offer the grower of swine

of the boy we doubt the wisdom of
the counsel if the bush bore berries
inferior in quality and quantity to
those surrounding. And may we not
suggest that if you have found that

Of your neighbors it would be wise

conditions-stick to it.-Farmers

Serum for Texas Fever.

A discovery of much interesttothose
who lose thousands yearly, owing to
The cattle pest, has been communicat-
ed to the Academy of Medicine by M.
Lienniere. one of the leading scien-
lists on veterinary subjects, says a
Paris report. He claims to be able
to protect animals from Texas fever,
the worst form of parasite, by pro-
ducing the disease in serum from
animals which have been previously
attacked, thus alternating its viru-
lence and in furnishing a vaccine virus
with which to inoculate and protect
cattle from the disease.
