HENRY SEES THE PRESIDENT.
Tobacco Growers of New England
Have No Cause to Fear.

Tobacco Growers of New England
Have No Cause to Fear
Washington, Jan. 15.-During q call
made by Congressman Henry at the
white house Saturday afternoon brief
conversation was had with the presi-
dent concerning the proposed free inn
portation of Porto Rican tobacco.
The president expressed himself as
confident, with his knowledge of the
qualities of both the Connecticut and
the Porto Rican leaf, that the removal
of the duty on tobacco coming from
the island Of Porto Rico would not be
injurious to Connecticut valley tobacco
growers.
Mr.. Henry said to him that the to-
bacco growers feared the precedent
established might ultimately lead to
the free Introduction of Philippine to-
bacco.
The president replied that this was
quite impossible at the present time,
and that 1t would be long time before
such an arrangement would even be
thought of, If it ever was contemplated
at all Mr.. Mckinley added that he
would not knowingly give his approval
to any measure injuring an American
industry.

THE NEW INDIAN.
Statistics Show That He Is Fast En-
tering the Paths of Civ
IIizatiOn.

That the Indian is leaving his native
trail for the white mans path" is
we'll evidenced by statistics gathered
Prom the annual reports of the United
States Indian agents, says Youths
Companion. A greatly increasing
number of Indians on the reservations,
or what have lately been reservations,
can read. Nearly hundred thousand
of them have completely adopted the
white mems dress. Almost all of them
have discarded the original dress of the
people of their tribes.
Eleven hundred dwelling houses
were built by Indians last year, and
the Indians on the reservations now
possess more than $4,000 dwelling
houses. They are, as q rule, no longer
nomadic, no longer dwellers in wig
vans. Externally, at least, they are
rapidly adopting the ways of civiliza-
ton
Are they at the same time becoming
civilized" in the true sense? 1t is not
possible to answer yes with confidence.
They are learning to read, to live in
houses, and to wear white mems
clothes; yet unfortunately, in some
cases at least, the vices of civilization
seem likely to overpower some of the
native virtues of the race. On some
reservations intemperance has in
creased almost exactly in proportion
to the disappearance of the character
istics of the aboriginal red, man.
To civilize means to endow with the
proper qualities of citizen; and so
far as the reading and house-dwelling
Indian lacks these qualities, his trans
formation into the outward semblance
of white man fails in it's chief pur-
pose. The duty Of the white people
toward the Indian is far from being
ended with imposing upon him the
superficial marks of their civilization

SOWENS PORRIDGE.
What the Mixture Is on Which
Mafeking Subsisted for
Many Days.

With regard to the statement by the
London Daily News Mafeking corre-
spondent in recent issue, that sowens
Cor sowens porridge, as he calls it) had
become the staple dish of the besieged
town, it may be of interest, says cor
respondent, to know how this old
Scotch dish is made. After the oat-
meal is extracted from the oat all the
remaining part, husks, bran and fine
oat flour, is soaked in water for sew
eral days, during which time it sours
and lightly ferments. The whole is
then sifted and strained, all the water
poured off, and fine white sediment
left. This constitutes the sowens, and
it is boiled with water or milk, and
eaten with milk or sirup. In Mafeking,
where there are no meal mills, sup
pose the whole oat would be soaked.
1t Is a highly nutritious dish, of o
slightly sourish taste, and is often rec
ommended by doctors as light article
of diet in cases of indigestion, etc. In
Scotland the night par excellence for
sowens is Hogmanay, the last night Of
the old year, where it is the staple sup
per dish in most farm kitchens in the
north. There used also to exist a senti-
ment in favor of splashing other peo-
ple's windows with the liquid on that
particular evening, which, however, is

AMERICAS HAPPY HOMES.
Why the Late Chief Justice Chase
Frequented Out-of-the-Way

"Why do you walk in these old out

the late Chief Justice Chase, who was
frequently the companion OF the lat
ter in his daily walks to the capitol
Because like. to see the way peo-
pie live," was the answer. ut al

to see how much simple comfort and

tiny frame building within small in

lives there, healthy, fresh looking
creature, was planting flower seeds,
and a little child was helping her

sible. To know that there are thou
sands of such pretty, comfortable and
happy homes all over the country is
a pleasant thought"

that remain the longest in our MEM
ories,' continued the nara tor, "and
many time have recalled this little
incident when I happened to notice

house, and feel proud to think there
is more of that sort of prosperity in
America than in any other country in

"I notice that Automobile Mont
gomery says that horses often make

other, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
''Well, there might be some truth in
It," said the second. 81 saw little
incident at the art institute the
other day that made me think of Mr..
Montgomery's proud boast. You know
those big lions on the sides of the
steps, the work of Kemeys, are pret-
ty lifelike. I was standing looking
at them when a little white poodle
came down the steps in the wake of
"a woman with stylish clothes on. The
poodle had gold collar around his
neck and was altogether one of the
tiniest, dandifed specimens of a dog
that you could find. He walked up
to one of the lions, settled back on his
hind legs, and looked at the big stone
beast Then he shifted and glanced
around inquiringly. All at once he
made up his mind. He made fierce
rush for the lion, barking as vicious
ly and as loud as dog six inches long
could bark. He positively swelled up
and appeared about to explode with
wrath.
"There you are. If Kemeys' lions

PEACOCKS.
The Common Variety Cheap Enough,
But White Peaeocks Are
Pretty Costly.

Peacocks of the familiar ordinary
variety are raised by the breeders of
fancy fowls of one sort or another, and
they are not very costly nor is there
much demand for them; pair of such
peacocks might cost from $12 to $50.
They might be sold for collections, or.
for public parks, but not often for
private parks or grounds, where the
white peacock would be preferred.
White peacocks are rarer and more
costly than those of the ordinary kind,
ranging in price from 800 to 1928
pair. Some of these birds are raised
in this country, but the greater num-
ber are imported from Europe. White
peacocks are like ordinary peacocks in
their general characteristics, but in-
stead of having plumage of the familiar
blue and green and black, their plum
age is white. Sometimes the "eyes"
in the white peacock's tail are of
creamy tint, giving to the tail, when
spread, the effect of lace, from which
such birds are called white lace pea
cocks.
The demand for peacocks of any va
riety is small and no dealer in birds
and animals keeps them in stock, sup
plying them only on order.

BOER TACTICS.
Skill of the Hunter and TrappeE
Is Shown in Their
Campaign.

ST don't take much stock in the
theory that the superior tactics of the
Beers have been due to their foreign
officers" said confederate veteran
in the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
''The strategy by which they have out
witted the British time and again dur
ing the present campaign is not book
strategy at all. It is the kind of cum
ming that is developed by frontiersmen
and pioneers, who learn 1t from the
savages whom they are compelled to
fight for existence. In the revolution
a great many of our leaders, including
Washington himself, were adopts In
that variety of warfare, and they rout-
ed the enemy more than once by tactics
that upset everything laid down by the
authorities.
''It seems to me that the entire his
tory of the Boer campaign shows the
handiwork of the hunter and trapper
rather than the modern scientific sol
der, and whatever credit attaches to
their successes belongs to the Beers
themselves. The foreign experts have
no doubt handled the artillery, but
the natives are the fellows who have
done the planning and scheming."

sUNsTRoKE AND HEATsTRoKE
Distinct Difference Between the
Two-Former Cam Only Occur
tn the Tropics.

According to a French medical jour-
nal it has been ascertained by DR..
Moussoir that there is distinct diff
ference between prostrations from
heat and pure sunstroke. True sun
stroke can occur only in the tropics,
since there alone are the rays of the
sun powerful enough to produce the
action on the Uranium that constitutes
sunstroke. Heatstroke, on the other
hand, is produced by the action on
the whole surface of the body, during
a sufficiently prolonged period of a
temperature exceeding 1O4 degrees
tinued overheating in room, as in
the case of stolkers on board ship, who
work in high temperature and with
meager air supply. The heat, If damp,
prevents the body from perspiring
freely, and If too dry parches the skin
and thus stops the perspiration which
is necessary to health. Negroes are far
less susceptible to heat than whites
because the black color of their skin
operates as shade or screen. DR..
Moussoir calls attention to the fact
that the temperature inside persons
clothing is often much higher than the
temperature in the open sun, the cloth
ing seeming to confne the heat and
to hinder the evaporation. One of the
predisposing causes of heat apoplexy
is lying down, the heat rays, both di-
rect and reflected from the ground,
having thus much larger surface to
act on

MAKING 500 A MINUTE.
The Large Sum Earned by the Prima
Donna Nine. Nordica In New
York Recently.

The largest sum for the briefest
service recently received by the most
literally paid of all professionals, the
prima donna, was given Mime. Nor
dica on the occasion of her appear
ance in concert at the Metropolitan
opera house, New York, several weeks
ago, says the Saturday Evening Post.
For two songs which required five
minutes each to sing she received
81 900, or at the rate of 500 minute.
The songs were Grieg's Swan and a
serenade by Richard Strauss. The oc-
casion was the first American appear
ance of Herr Won Schuch, conductor
of the Royal opera, Dresden.
Nine. Nordica, among the soloists
originally announced, was taken sud-
denly i'll during a performance of
Tristan und Isolde" at the Metro
rolitan the Saturday previous to the
concert. With her customary pluck
she finished her performance, but
was obliged to take to bed as soon as
1t was ended. There she was forced
to remain until the next Thursday,
when it was time to dress for the con-
cert. She appeared at the Metropoli-
tan on time, sang her two songs and
was persistently recalled for an en-
core.
Her strength not being equal to a
response she bowed her appreciation
and finally took Nine. PATHS method
of positive refusal by returning to the
stage with her carriage cloak about
her shoulders.
Once home she found no alternative
but to return to the bed she had left
to sing But in the short time of her
absence, in addition to keeping faith
with the public and adding to the
bril1iance of the concert, she had re-
ceived $1,000 for ten minutes actual
work. For her first concert engage
ment, Nine. Nordica, then a girl of
16, received ten dollars. Now in the
zenith of her powers the largest sum
received by Mime. Nordica for single
concert was $1,700. This latest

STAIR CLIMBING.
A Physician Tells the Proper Way
to Do oIt-ReprehensibIe Habit
of Bending.

If one would avoid fatigue in climb
ing stairs, n necessary act in a city
Ike Chicago, where many buildings
have no elevators, he must learn how
to do it properly, says the Record of
that city. A physician of repute tells
how this should be done.
Usually" he said, "a person will
tread on the ball of the foot in TAX
ing each step. This is very tiresome
and wearing on the muscles of the
legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the
most equal distribution of the body's
weight possible. In walking upstairs
your feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately. In this way
there is no strain upon any particu-
lar muscle, but each one is doing it's
duty in natural manner. The wom-
an who goes upstairs with spring
is no philosopher, or, at least, she is
not making proper use of reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending
flight of stairs is exceedingly repre-
hensible. In any exertion of the kind,
when the heart is naturally excited to
a more rapid action, it is desirable
that the lungs should have full play.
The crouching position interferes
with their action, the blood is imper-
fectly aerated, and there is trouble
at once. Give the lungs a chance to
do their work everywhere and at all
times"
