It has long been evident that the
rapidly increasing movement of grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease of shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte. at the head of
galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad-
vantages surround LaPorte. notably its
being the fartherest inland seaport on

Hiram Maxim as Much Interested in This
In Guns

In Guns
'.One of the strange, indirect results
OF the Boer war may be the perfecting
of a practical flying machine" said
gentleman who has IA fondness for me-
chanical problems, according to the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. THE
man who has come nearest doing it
thus far is Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim, the
inventor of the famous Maxim auto
matte gun. Eight or nine years ago he
began on an elaborate series of expert
ments on his fine private estate, near
Kensington, England. Roughly de-
scribed, his machine was an enormous
kite, supplied with n propeller run by
steam engine, the theory being that
it would be sustained in flight by at
mospheric pressure. He constructed Il
two-mile railroad track, along which
the 'aeroplane,' as he called 1t, was to
run, getting up enough velocity to en-
able it TO leap into space. and then he
built several full-siZed models.
Mr.. Maxim is an accomplished me-
chanical engineer, and he went about
the work in a thoroughly scientific
fashion, feeling his way and correct
ing defects as he went along OF course
such experimenting was frightfully ex-
pensiye, and, ut the end of three years,
when he seemed to be just on the verge
of success, he was obliged to stop for
lack of funds. He was too sensible
man to try to capitalize flying ma
chine company. so he quietly an
nounced that he was going back to
gun-making, and, when he accumulat-
ed enough money, would take fresh
start at the aeroplane.
''Since then business has been brisk
with his house, and during the last six
months in particular the British gov
ernment has spent huge sums i'll pur-
chasing his automatic gun. Mean
while the United States has patronized
him to the extent of near Il quarter of
n million and his Golfers are no doubt
pretty well retilled. 1t would not sur
prise me now to hear of his resuming
work at any time on his flying ma
chine He has said repeatedly that it
was the one great dream of his life

4 VILLAGE BLACKSMITH SAVED
 HIS LITTLE SONS LIFE.

MT. H. H. Black, the well known vil- lage blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sul- livan county. N. Y, says; Our little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Chamberlains Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dis solve the tough mucous and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symp- toms appear We have found that the drcaced croup is cured before it gets settled" There is no danger in giving this remedy for ft contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to babe as to an adult.

the criticisms of the cross saddle for women consists in the fact that in some countries women have for centuries used the saddle; therefore, it is he'd to be necessary that they should continue to do so till the end of time. There is no other argument adduced.
 The opponent of the divided skirt. if pressed, may say that the use of the cross saddle is imnodest, but if asked just why it is immodest he cannot an swer. The reason is, of course. that there is nothing immodest about it.
 There is TO more reason why wo- man should sit sidewise on a horse than that she should sit sidewise in a chair, and there is no more immodesty involved in the one case than in the other. Nothing save a foolish defer ence to cOnventionality keeps thou sanGs of women from using the cross saddle, which is more slightly, com fortable and hygienic than the side saddle.
 The divided skirt and the cross sad dle for women are sure to come into general Use, because they are useful ard sensible articles.

this report of a committee, May Il 17SO. to whom had been referred the conduct of funerals, as follows:
 Whereas. it is the opinion of this town that funerals ought to be con ducted with great decency and deco rum in order to impress on rising and risen generation the importance of the awful sole-rnity. and to render the house of mourning better than the house of feasting. Be it therefore rec commended to all the inhabitants of this town to observe the following regula- tions at funerals:
 ''Ffrst-That the relatives of the de- ceased follow next the corpse, two and two.
 .Second-If the deceased was a male person the males are to follow next the mourners, TWO and two, and the women. after them. two and two: but if the deceased was q woman. then the women are U follow next the mourn CTS and the men after them.
 "Third-Those on horseback are to follow in after the foot folks, horses two and two, and the carriages are to follow in the rear of the procession. And it is requested that no person walk CT ride on either side the procession from the house to the grave"
 Ten of the prominent men of the city were appointed and requested to at tend at funerals and to regulate the procession thus recommended until the same shall become habitual to the peo- pie.

A Burning Issue That has Leaped to
 the Front in Chicago.

The officers of the horse show who have rejected the entries of two ladies who purposed to use the divided skirt in other words. to ride man fashion" ought at least to have the candor to state their position.
 It is nonsense for them to plead that the executive committee did not pro vide for divided skirt class for wo- men riders. There was To necessity for providing for such d class. The wearing of 9 divided skirt does not place woman rider in a class by her self any more than the wearing of a derby hat instead of the conventional silk article would render it necessary to establish a derby hat class.
 The horse show authorities are mere ly lodging. They are evidently deter mined to bar divided skirts, but they are not brave enough to give their req sons-if. indeed. they could give any.
 Such an attitude will merely fan the flame of discussion instead of diverting attention from the subject In any event. the divided skirt has come to stay. whether the horse show people bar it or not.

We would now lii2e to emphasize mora strongly and specifically the necessity of p3ying proper attention to cool the milk
 "Cne morning in July the writer stood at tn weigh can of a creamery and took the temperature and tested the acility of sach lot of nights and mixed nights an1 mornings milk de- livered. If these lots of milk had all
 been handled with equal care as to
 cleanliness, the t5mper&. at which
 th-y ad stood through the night. as
 indicated by tEot taken at the cream cry in the morning might be reasonably considered as responsible fer tneir ac- i'd c5nii,icn at that time The temper atcle cf the nisnts milk varied from IS to 93 degrees r. acd while the var.- at.1As i'll acidiJy d.d Eo; conform eXact- iy with those of temperature, gtreraliy s1ldling, the vlrmnr the ml:k the worse it's condition. It is needless to say that the milk al 93 degrees was sour, 8 sour that particles of clabber stuck to the sides of the w-igh can as
 tn milk was drawn off, and yet the c-iVer in-Lst-d tLlt the milk was sweet and became pToflrzly abusive when
 the weish-r po.its'y told him that milk in ',Aat condition would hereafter be r. fused. Other lots Of milk with a tenn pelature as low as S4 degrees Were sour, indicating that lack If cleanlin-zs had contributed to their souring.
 As s5a5=d before, this condition of affairs is absolU,.e ely unnecessary. In OUs experience g. the experiment sta tion farm we hav observed that by the use of the ordinary tn Grum milk cool IT l.led with Well water, winch with us h2s temperature of 70 to 73 G'z gTees, milk nay be reduced in temperature ten degrees; that by running it over the cool. r a second time ths tempera- ture may b- br5ugh, down five degrees more; and that by wrapping the cans in which the milk stands over night in wet burlap or gunny sacks the tempe rature may be still further T, duced t0 that of the atmosphere or lower. Dur ing tAz first fifteen days in July, in c.U5ing the hottest days and nights of ',.-c =-ason and the hottest twen.y-four hou. period recorded since the esta5- lishment of the weather bureau in Pho nix, the average temper2 ture of the nights milk in the morning, undsr this treatment, was T d. grees. whfca Was less than ,le average minimum temperature Of the atmosphere for that r-riod. On very warm nights the tenn pgrature of th- milk went several de- groes below that cf the surrounding air. Under tllis trCl,meat the increase Of acid in the milk during the night was Nery slight. The average p5r cent Of a,id in the milk immediately after milking, during the first ten days of July, was .lG5 per cent, while the same muis Ca tn Following morning showed d pres Ece Of only IT Der cent of aaid. NIll seiGOm smells or tastes sour when less than three per cent of aciI.
 with these facts to base conclus ems upon We f-el safe in stating that, with the 5vercise of reasonable cleanliness ia milking and tn the care Of u.eusils, ana by taking proper care in cooling, milk may be delivered at the factory in good condition, anI that there ic TO excuse based cn reason for what we c en the criminal adUlterati5n of mllk by u,e use of chemical pr, servat!ves."
