Chaplain Pierce, who has been with our
troops in the Philippines since February,
1899, has made report TO the adjutant
general concerning the saloons at Manila.
He says there has been an increase in the
number of American saloons, but they
have superseded the native gin shacks
which lined many of the streets and the
total number of places where liquor is sold
is much smaller than before the Americans
occupied the city. The fiery native con-
coctions had a maddening effect on the SOL
diers, and the chaplain says that while he
is not personally an advocate of any sa-
loon he is forced to give his testimony that
the substitution of the regimental can
teens in which only beer is sold, in place Of
the traffic in native gin, resulted in an i'm
mediate and perceptible improvement in
the sobriety OF the troops.

FINISHING TOUCHES.
They Distinguish the Work of the
Progressive Dairyman from That
of the COw-Keeper.

The ScrupulouS neatneSS shown in
the care of cows; the cleanliness of
the stable and the milk vessels; the
practice of milking with clean, dry
hands and discarding the first streams
drawn from each teat; the removal of
milk from the stable to a clean milk
room for weighing, straining and aera-
ton as soon as it is drawn; keep
ing the milk at a low temperature in
summer and preventing it's freezing
in winter; careful delivery of the
milk or cream in fine condition at the
factory; careful attention to the COM
fort of the cow in summer as well as
in winter; to the quality, quantity
and composition of the cows feed
and the water supply; forethought
and preparation for an abundant sup
ply of pasture or soiling crops, such
as will keep up the milk flow sum-
mer and winter without interruption
during the entire period of lactation;
these are some of the finishing
touches which distinguish the work of
the dairyman from that of cow
keeper, the practice of the thorough
bred from that of the scrub dairy
man.
A well-kept horse and an attractive
wagon and harness; a neat, intelli-
gent and obliging deliveryman; shin
ing cans and measures; sterilized,
understanding, well-filled bottles,
with the intelligent care of the milk
from cow to customer, are some of
the finishing touches that build up a
retail milk trade at paying prices,
and distinguish thoroughbred dairy
man from scrub cow-keeper and
milk-peddler.
In every branch of dairy work. the
profit and satisfaction is realized from
careful attention to the finishing
touches.-Dairy and Creamery.

Sustaining His Theory.

No man is real man of science unless
he is ready to abandon his own conclu-
sions, duly put on record, if subsequent
Investigations prove them fallacious.
The president of great college once
wrote volume on the practice of
medicine. After it had been completed
and he had gone to New York to ar
range for it's publication, his house was
burned, and the manuscript of his book
and all his notes were destroyed.
He couldn't reproduce it. Ten years
afterward he said: "That fire was the
greatest of good fortune to me. If 1
had published the book, I should have
had to stand by it, whereas now know
that it was all wrong!"
Mr.. Andrew Lang, in Longman's
Magazine, tells of two biologists who
were gathering specimens in lonely
mountain place. One of them had writ
ten book. The other, looking about
one day with a field glass, saw his
friend occupied long time-unob-
served, as he thought-in rolling
great stone downhill, and at dinner
questioned him about it.
He pretended at first that he had
been doing it for exercise, but, hard
pressed, confessed:
'Well, the fact is, the COMPOUNDED
thing was 200 feet too high to suit my
theory"
But nature is too big to be rearranged
to suit anyone's theory-even our own.

RUSSIAN SPIES ARE HERE.
They Are Keeping Watch of Nihflists
Who Seek Refuge in
America,

The Russian secret police are prob
ably the most skillful in the world;
they need to be. In the days of Ma
poleon III. the police of France had
that reputation. They haven't it now
for the best of reasons. An emperor
needs skillful spies in all the world
a republic doesn't. Russia has had its
lessons in the death of the late car
and in the many attempts made upon
the present ruler. So the chief of po-
litical police keeps agents in every
great city in the world. New York,
where so many Russian nihilists have
found refuge; San Francisco and Chi
cago are especially favored in this
way. Escaped convicts from Siberia
sometimes drift to the Pacific coast,
while Chicago is watched on general
principles. New York, however, is get
ting to be more and more the chief
object of the solicitous attentions of
the cars people, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
The spies who keep tab on nihilists
in America always claim to be nihil-
lists themselves, exiled for their po-
litical views, or escaped suspects. 1t
is their plan to secure admittance to
some of the many nihilist circles here
and keep the police informed of what
goes on.
So long as the nihilists confine
themselves to speechmaking nothing
is done about it. But if one of them
should start for St. Petersburg with
such mission as that which took
Bresci from Paterson the home au-
thorities would be warned and stand
ready to receive him after certain
well-known precedents. AS for the
spy, his is dangerous life. If sus-
pected he may become at almost any
time the hero of a mysterious murder
aoc

NUTS AS DAILY FOOD.
When Eaten by Themselves They Do
Not Constitute a Perfect Ar
ticle of Human Diet

AS indicated by the numerous nut
foods on the market and the discus
sions in papers and magazines of sys-
TENS of diet in which nuts play
prominent part, there is quite gen.
eral interest in the subject. The
claims made for some nut foods often
seem extravagant and unreasonable.
Apparently they lack any basis of ex-
perimental evidence, nor is it prob
able that the best-informed physioio-
gists would advise the wholesale use
of nuts as a diet to the exclusion of
more usual and generally accepted
foods.
According to the Maine experiment
station, from so to IS per cent. of the
nuts most commonly eaten diamonds,
Brazil nuts, filberts, hickory nuts,
pecans and walnuts) is shell. These
nuts contain little water. The protein
is fairly high, but fat constitutes the
largest part of the edible portion. The
carbohydrates, which usually occur in
large proportion in vegetable foods,
are present only in small amounts.
The chestnut is an exception, contain
ing, as it does, nearly 40 per cent.
carbohydrates. The percentage in CO.
coanuts, acorns and litchi nuts is also
fairly high. The meat of nuts, except
ing those last mentioned, contains
nearly so times as much fat and less
than one-fifth as much carbohydrates
as wheat flour, and has about double
the fuel value, i. e., energy producing
power. A pound of unshelled nuts will
furnish about half as much protein
and the same amount of energy as a
pound of -four. Owing to their high
fuel value and low protein content,
nuts would not make well-balanced
food when eaten by themselves.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Great care should be had in drying
up COW.
A great many spoiled udders can
be traced to carelessness in drying
up.
Buttermilk is very beneficial in
many kinds of stomach troubles, and
is healthful for everyone.
Don't expect your mich COW to
furnish her quota of milk and butter
if she be left to hustle with the rest
of the stock. If she is to do her
best she must be fed regularly and
well, and must be protected from the
cold storms and sudden changes of
winter. Winter milking don't pay
unless the cow is well treated.
Dehorned cattle are more peace
able, easier to fatten, more content
ed, and can be cared for easier than
cattle with horns. While the opera
ton may be painful it is not as cruel
as allowing large cattle with horns
to harass the smaller animals. The
stock owner will save many times the
amount of money it will cost him to
have his animals dehorned, in feed
alone.-Farm Journal.

HOME BUTTER-MAKING.
Some Reasons why Private Dairyins
Should Not BE Allowed
to Pass Away.

correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer puts up strong argument
for the private dairy instead of pat
ronizing the creamery. He says it
would cost him about $500 a year
to send the milk from his 20 cows
to the creamery and pay for making
1T into butter. 1t costs some peo-
pie more than that, as they have to
keep an extra man, extra team and
extra wagon; also find fuel to heat
water for cleaning cans and for heat
ing the skim-milk for calves and
pigs. Instead of this he spends about
two hours a day, or 600 hours in
year, taking care of his milk and
making butter, which is equal at
above rates to so cents an hour for
his time. All his utensils, aside from
the separator, cost him less than SIS,
have been in use ten years and are
good for rs years more. Most of the
creamery patrons receive about IA
cents net pound for their butter,
which he thinks is pretty poor bust
ness. He acknowledges that in the
general market creamery butter is
quoted higher than dairy butter, but.
large percentage of dairy butter
is sold to private customers at a
better price than creamery butter,
and he thinks three-fourths of the pri-
vate families in Grand Rapids use
dairy butter, and most of them do
so because they prefer it to cream
cry butter. We are glad there is one
who thinks that private dairies can
compete successfully with the cream
cries, for we have feared that the
creameries were getting in such favor
that dairymen might think farm
was no use unless near a creamery,
cheese factory, condensary or milk
route, while we feel sure that
young, healthy and Industrious couple
who had good knowledge of dairy
ing and other branches of farming,
especially the raising of young stock,
pigs and poultry, could make good
living on a good farm if they were
not within 20 miles of either of those
conveniences, or even within 20 miles
of railroad. The secret would be
to reduce all crops into such shape
that the most value could be got at
the least weight, and that the time
of marketing would not be every day
or at any time when the work was
needed at home. Butter, cheese, wool,
salt pork, bacon and ham, eggs and
dressed poultry find a market any
day in the week. and so do apples and
potatoes.-American Cultivator.

AN ENEMY TO DRINK.
One Woman who has Done Great Deal
to put Down this Evil.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. II, 1900
Especially When the Independent Or

wanted a State Organizer. they chose
Mrs. Laura j. Smith, of 1917 West 33rd
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far to seek. This gifted woman has
devoted her life to battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her influ-
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however. it
seemed as if this noble woman would
have to give up her philan thropic work
Severe pains in her back and under her
shoulder blades, made life burden
and work impossible. Physicians were
consulted, and they prescribed for
Kidney Disease. Three months treat
ment, however, failed to give Mrs.
Smith any relief. Her husband was
much exercised, and cast about him for
something that would restore his good
wife to health and strength He heard
of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney
Pills. and advised her to try them.
