PREsENr-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY "oRosvENoR".

Related to the nd NO two lives GO
through just the same experiences. Min
gled with the three great facts--birth, life,
death--are minor facts as varied and as
numerous AZ the minutes OF lie. Conse-
quentiy II In foolish In looking back at a
life that has been TO envy the opportuni-
ties that came TO 1t, and that are denied
to us.
Another mans opportunities have
nothing to do with US except to teach US
that to every one-great and smaii-in
the possession OF natural intellect there
come openings for some sort OF usefulness
to society and to self.
In fact to every sensible being Is given
the chance to take up life at one point
and to lay it down at H point somew here
advanced from the point where 1t was
taken up. And In those who know this
and yet do not attempt It there Is sin
both against society and self.
The man who wills to be heard and felt
will be- Just to the extent to hitch he Ia
free from self-seeking. The man with a
great utterance In him or great purpose
compelling him. speaks and works despite
all oppostngs. There IL never poet with
soul on fire but that hnds an audience
nor never an unseifish builder for ot hers
but that has following.
II we talk to an uuechoing world, the
fault Is within and not viii hout. The
world always has In some measure
an ear for the true ring OF sincerity III AN
utterance, and an eye keen to note the uu-
selfish service--pot all the world, TOR to
preach such an idea would he unreason-
able-bu. the world made up Of neigh
bors and friends.
Let Us be untrue there and We need
never hope for an audience outside to
make up for those who doubt us nearby.
But true In the little things, faithful In
the heart within, 1t il absurd for us to
talk OF our limitations. There are most
distressing Limitations In harvesting re-
suits; but the limits OF uncredited and
unharvested influence are no nearer reck-
oning than are he bounds OF space or the
final year OF eternity.
Let me quote an example that IL timely
and that cannot be gainsaid: A poor
widow with nine children, often trou bied
about the mere feeding Of them, does by
them all her full duty just because that is
the thing lying right straight before her
to be done. One OF them goes forth,
strong in the faith his mother has taug ht I;
millions have felt his power. and they in
their turn hand on the influence OF the
mother, while Moody and she rest from
their iabors.
The summing up Ia to humble folk.
You will not found an empire, nor mould
a nation; you will not stir a world, nor
see your name blszoDed high in the tenn
pie OF fame, but you can be all that your
opportunities permit you to be. The
greatest man that ever lived was never
greater than that.

CAUTION TO FARMERS.
Cattle Feeds Mixed with Corn Cobs
ard Other Refuse.

Director Charles ID. Woods, Of the
Maine agricultural experiment station At
Orono, sends out bulletin as a caution to
farmers against adulterated feed for cattle.
"The refuse products from milling
wheat and rye" he says, "when unmixed
with other substances are exempt from
the requirements OF the feeding stuffs
law, hence the station has not collected
and analysed samples OF this class OF mill
feeds. From information derived from
various sources and from the analysis OF
the few samples sent to us by correspon-
dents, we believe that very many carloads
of seriously adulterated by-produc.s OF
wheat have been sold In Maine during
the past six months.
"These goods for the most part claim
to be winter wheat bran, winter wheat,
mixed feed, etc. Such goods should carry
about 16 per cent. protein; the samples
examined carry from 96 per cent. to II
per cent. The aduiterants are the refuse
from broom corn factories, corn cobs and
similar materials.
"The jobbers handling these goods
must know that they are not pure goods.
How far these goods have been sold
knowingly and how far dealers have been
imposed upon, there is no means OF know
ing. That the consumers have been i'm
posed upon goes without saying. Dealers
who are not handling them are 6esircus
that their sale be stopped. Some large
houses outside OF the State have sent cir
culars to the leading jobbers in this
State calling their attention to these
fraudulent feeds.
"The adulterated mill feeds thus far
found are from the South. One milling
company in Henderson, Kentucky, claims
to have sold over 600 tons OF aduIterated
mixed feed in Maine this fall. These
adulterated goods come under the provis-
ions OF the law regulating the sale of con-
centrated commercial feeding stuffs, and
the station will endeavor to have this
class Of goods branded and guara nteed
in accord with their actual composition.
1t is, however, better that the goods be
not sold at all and the cooperation Of
feeders and honest dealers Is asked in
order to drive these low grade goods out
Of the State.
"Improperly drawn samples are Value
less in the enforcement OF the law.
Samples taken In &C ,ordance with direc-
tions to be obtained on application to the
station will be Analysed promptly, free OF
charge"

More lumber has been shipped from
Portland to South America during the
past twelve months than in any year
since 1890. A few years ago an immense
amount Of pine was shipped from Mon-
treal annually, but now considerable
portion Of this trade Is carried on at Bos-
ton and Portland.
A York county man cut his throat

No Change Called For.

During the past three and a half
years this county has enjoyed a clean,
efficient and honest administration of
affairs. Taxes have been carefully and
honestly collected and carefully and
honestly expended by proper officials,
namely, Collector Fred Muller and the
county board, composed of Messrs.
Dudrow, Mclaughlin and Mestas, dur
ing 1899 and 1900. The sheriff during
these years, H. c. Kinsell, has perform
ed his duties ably and fearlessly and
there is no lawlessness in the county.
The other county officials have also
done well, and there are no charges of
misconduct against any of them. Why,
then, should the voters of this county
vote for Democratic candidates at the
coming fall elections? Can any good
and solid reason be advanced for such
action? To be sure, there are some of
our Democratic friends who desire
county offices; the New Mexican does
not blame them for desiring such; 1t is
human and natural that they should.
But why the people should make a
change from good to bad is not at all
clear, and the New Mexican does not
believe that the people will make any
such change.

Terms Of Peace.

The war in the Transvaal is apparent
ly SO near to it's end that the European
press already is discussing the terms OF
peace. One more great battle may be
fought beyond the Vaal, but the posi-
ton of the $1,000 burghers against the
200, 900 British under Roberts is hope
less. Great Britain will probably insist
upon annexing the two republics, but
there may be some objections to this on
the part of the other powers interested
in Africa. If England were to accede
to the independence of the two repub-
lies upon condition that they adopt a
liberal constitution it would gain the
respect Of the world, and would grad
ually assimilate the two republics any
way, for the majority Of their inhabit-
ants would soon be British, and under
a universal franchise the British would
be the governing power, both in the
Orange Free State and in the Trans
yaal,

Should Work Together.

There is still a bitter rivalry between
Springer and Ration. 1t had its begin
ming at the time that the county seat
was removed from the former place to
the latter. Rivalry between nearby
cities Is all right, but when it takes the
form of rejoicing when one or the other
city gets a setback it is very foolish.
Springer and Ration are so far apart
that they can hardly be business rivals.
Their endeavor to grow and prosper
faster than the other is praiseworthy,
but when each steps aside to hurt the
other it Is carrying the rivalry too far.
Whatever helps Ration and Springer
helps Colfax county, and whatever
helps Colfax county in turn helps
Springer and Ration. The prosperity of
the average town is so interviewer with
that of the nation, Of the territory, of
the county, of it's %neighbors, that pros
perity in one means prosperity fer the
other, e

also be good for Germany. But Ger
many does not want to stop there. 1t

against its most successful rivals, IN

the United States is in position to re-
t~aliate, and when it comes to a tariff
war Germany would surely suffer, while
the United States would hardly feel

The first bulletin on the result of the
census of Cuba has been issued. Cuba
is divided into six provinces, thir.y-one
judicial districts and 1872 municipal dis
tricts. The total population of Cuba is
1872, 1877, against a population in 1887 of
1881 ,6S7. Havana province, in which
most of the r~econcentrados were col
lected, sustained a relative small loss
in population. Indeed, the population
Of the Havana district, including the
city of Havana, increased almost rs per
cent in population from 1887 to 1899.
The density Of population of Cuba is 49,
inhabitants to the square mile, or about
the density of population of Iowa, OF
over ten times hat of New Mexico. In
Havana the density of population is
1913, or the same as that of Connecticut,
while in Puerto de Principe the density
is only eight inhabitants to the square

The fact that the managers CT the
beet sugar factories in Colorado are i'm
porting labor from New Mexico is a
significant one. 1t proves that if capt.
talists were to erect a similar factory
in northern New Mexico they would
find plenty of men to till the sugar
beets and to work in the factory. Land
is cheaper here than in Colorado, the
quality Of the sugar beets raised here
is unsurpassed anywhere else in the
world, and the climatic conditions are
such hat sugar beet culture would be
a success from the start. No doubt the
day will come when capitalists will
take advantage of these conditions, and
if the people of this section work in the
right direction and work together that
day may come very soon.

give up their careers On account OF con-
sumption of the throat. The Brehmer
method restored them to health and
youthfulness. They are back on the
stage, and testify to their own saliva
ton.
It's nothing new, either. Goehe, for
instance, who lived to the age of 50, a
healthy, beautiful old man, suffered
from hemorrhages in his youth. He was
undoubtedly a consumptive. We don't
know how he outgrew the disease; that
he did so is enough for arguments sake.
Unprejudiced physicians, physicians
that believe primarily in nature, physi-
cianst that go over the experimenting
craze from which most of the younger
Aesculapians suffer-such physicians
put their utmost faith in the isolation
Of bacilli. They direct all their efforts
toward rendering the bacilli In the liv-
ing body harmless, toward neutralizing
the bacilli's virulence. Some day, that
may not be far off, I hope, they may be
able to kill them on the spot.
They think the ~neutralizing business
can best be furthered by dieting and by
living according to hygienic principles
in a favorable climate.
OF course, most c~onsumptives have no
appetite. These must be made to have
appetite. When that's done, half the
battle is o In the case of consump-
tives, to eat or not to eat is to live or
die.
The undoubted success of this natural
method encourages me in the belief
that consumption is durable, while the
anatomical findings, above narrated,
prove to my mind that a specific remedy
against the disease will and must be
found. In the meantime I advise all
consumptives to seek a change of air, to
adopt hygienic principles of living and
food that increases their weight and
stimulates their force.
Fresh air, absolute cleanliness and
| plenty of good food are essentials which
a consumptive cannot do without If he
wants to be cured.

That the Republican party is the
friend of the workingman is shown by
the fact that the house of representa-
tives a few days ago passed the eight
hour law, which extends the benefits OF
shorter hours of work to all laborers
employed under contract on govern
ment work. The house also passed q
bill prohibiting interstate traffic in pris-
on-made goods. Convict labor is EN-
ployed in competition with free labor
mostly in the southern Democratic
states, and it is the Republican party
which will relieve the laborer and the
mechanic from the competition of con-
Wet labor, as it protected them against
the competition of European pauper la
bOr.
