view as follows: OF the cows tested
the two most remarkable are those OF

PENTELIKON MARBLE.

IL Beauty and Purity Greater Than
That OF Carrars.
The famous marble quarries Of tho
Pentelikon, near Athens, remained I'M
disturbed and silent until this century,
when, after the browning Of the first
king of Greece, the erection Of a royal
palace again called attention to the
national wealth in the finest Of stone,
says Chambers Journal. The road to
the foot of the Pentell hills was re-
opened, the bridges were repaired, and
Q large quantity of the famous old
marble was employed in the construc-
ton of a new Athens. 1t was wisely
decided that the old Greek quarries
should remain untouched, so that We
have clear evidence Of the mode OF
working these in classic times. This
Pentelikon marble forms great part
Of the ranges, and, fortunately, the
upper portion. The lower part to $50
feet is limestone in transition; but
thence up to LOO feet it is pure mar
BILE, the estimate being that there still
remain 1000, 100000 tons of pure white
marble and 100000 900 tons Of white
marble with blue veins. A railway
has now been constructed to the foot
Of the range, to meet the inclined
plane that carries the blocks down
from the quarries, so this fine stone,
from which the Parthenon at Athens
was built 2,400 years ago, can be deliv-
cred at cheap rate throughout Eu-
rope. Seeing that the so-called Elgin
marbles, obtained by Lord Elgin from
the Parthenon, were made from this
marble, it may readily be credited
when asserted by an authority that the
Pentelikon marble is harder, has a
finer grain and is in every respect SUI
perior to the Carrara marble. Its
purity and beauty must be seen to be
appreciated.

cleo and Rutter Compared as Food.

Oleo and Butter Compared as Food.
The Hygienic Gazette says: Oleomar-
garine Is claimed to be perfect substi-
tute by chemists for butter. We have
understood that 1t was mainly made
from beef tallow added to other butter;
sometimes with the stomachs of pigs.
(Piper) Sometimes muscle fibers are
found in the oleomargarine. (Piper.)
If this is so we fail to see the pro-
priety of the name. The fat acid Of the
tallow is mainly stearin. Margarine is
a fat peculiar to human fat. We don't
see why it is claimed for beef fat. So
that this butter ought to be called
"oleostearine." Taking then this nom
enclature, we have then two elements
to compare with ten elements as found
in the natural butter.
If this is so, it is difficult to see how
any one can say that the artificial prod
uct is as good as the natural. This is
more apparent when we consider the
substance, "lecithin." This is phos-
porized oil, and peculiar constituent
of the nervous system. Cooley found
it in the yolk of the egg, hence it is
named "lecithin." 1t has been found
in the human blood in the proportion
of five ten-thousandths; in the blood
of pregnant women ninety ten
thousandths have been found, and
in the blood of the umbilical ar
terry, seventy-fve ten-thousandths.
This lecithin is then nerve food
par excellence. 1t Is used for
nerve growth and activity. An infant
3 months old receives about forty-six
grains daily. If our butter is to be
made from oil and tallow, simply be-
cause it can be the means Of making
money for the manufacturers, and be-
cause the artificial product can deceive
the taste, touch and smell of the most
experienced, it is time for physicians,
at least, to stop and consider the object
of food, which is to furnish us with
healthy bodies and bones, muscles,
nerves, blood vessels; with force to
run them so that soul and spirit, sur
rounded with q glorious, hale body,
may enjoy its existence, as our Creator
intended it should.
Butter is a good nerve food. Oleo-
margarine honestly made may not be
unhealthy, but it cannot, in our opin-
ion, for the reasons given, take the
place of the normal product Of the
mammary gland. If it does, would IL
not be cheaper for families to spread
tallow on their bread than to almost
throw it away in the scavenger, later
perhaps to be manufactured into olso-
stearine?

BIG BANANA TRUST.
Prices Are Nearly Doubled by Its
Operations


Operations
Banana dealers from all the central
and western states gathered the other
day at Chicago to attend special ses-
sion of the National Banana Jobbers'
association OF the United States. The
object in calling the meeting was to
discuss the monopoly which is now al
most completely controlling the trade
in this country. Owing to the opera
lions of the New York fruit trust, the
Fruit Dispatch company, bananas are
selling for almost twice the price they
demanded before the dispatch company
entered the field. The dealers claim
that this concern now has such con-
troll of the market that it. can dictate
the price of the fruit in all parts of
the country. Although the service
rendered in transporting the fruit is
excellent, the shippers say that the
dispatch company is running the trade
by demanding such high prices. AS a
remedy for the evil c. H. Robertson OF
st. Louis suggested that the associa-
ton buy up banana plantations in
Spanish Honduras and other South
American countries and run line of
steamers of its own. Mr.. Robertson
declared that the plantations could be
purchased for 100000, and that a trade
could be established which should
force the eastern corporation to make
better terms. LAS it is now" he said,
I'VE have to abide by what they say,
or go without the fruit. This associa-
ton is rich enough, and think that in
time we shall have line of our own"

H. C. Adams, Dairy and Food Com
missioner of Wisconsin, says: The
butter product Of this country has an
estimated annual value of $500, 1000.
All of the silver and gold products Of
the country for two years could be
bought with the product of the churn
for a single year. Not only that, but
the COW leaves behind her farms which
are richer in fertility, and farmers
richer in the knowledge which the
mysteries Of her life and product COM
pei. The dairy business of this coun-
try has renovated thousand of farms,
and hundreds of thousands of farmers.
It has revolutionized the agriculture of
my own state, as it has Iowa, and as 1t
will Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan.
It is the enemy Of farm mortgages,
the friend of the merchant, the manu-
facturer and men of all classes, except
those who initiate the product, and
claim God-given right to copy the
form of that product and steal its color.
Only the limitations of state and fed
eral constitutions should restrict the
laws that hamper the traffic in coun-
terfeit butter.

orally. In the olden days primitive
machinery was in use in the numerous
mines that were opened and worked
until that machinery became ineffective.

consequence is that you can find de-
