Crot0fb OF "OIeo" Business.

AS indicating the enormous growth
OF the oleOmargarine business in the
last few years it is stated that during
the last year 10i000,O00 pounds of
'oleO' We're sold in the United States,
much Of it under false pretenseS as
genuine butter. This was Il jump OF
25.000,000 pounds over the sales of the
previous year During the last year
also the number of Oleomargarine fac
tories in the United States has in
creased from seventeen to tWenty-siX
In thirty-twO states of the Union there
are now in existence laws which ab-
solutely prohibit the manufacture of
OleOmargarine colored to initiate but
ter. Notwithstanding these laws. how
ever. no less than SO.OOO,OOO pounds of
the imitation butter We're sold in the
states referred to during the asst year.
In the Grout bill, now before con
gress. it is proposed to make the tax
on OleOmargarine part OF the inter
nal revenue tax of the federal govern
ment. While the state laws are not
enforced it is safe To say that the fed
eral statute would be, as the tax would
be collected at the factory. Under the
provisions OF the Grout bill il is not
proposed to hinder or interfere with
the sale OF 'Oleo" when offered on its
own merits and without any attempt 10
deceive people into thinking they are
buying butter With this idea in view
the present tax of two cents a pound
which is collected on all oleomargar-
inc is to be reduced 10 one-quarter of
cent pound on Olecmargarine
which is put on the market in
its uncolOred and natural condi-
ton. On oleOmargarine which is
artificially cOlored yellow to initiate
butter the tax is to be raised. on the
other hand, to ten cents a pound This
provision will make it Improbable for

And heard his last faint moan,
Each wiped away the others tears;
Now each must weep alone.

She folded that manuscript, Q re-

for year or two. Now they parted
forever. so far as this world is con-
cerned. And he says he fastened on
board after the funeral with his little
children TO start for Burmah, for the
vessel had already lifted her sails. And
he says, Il sat down for some time n

SSIAN AGE.
More Valuable to Acquire Than Any
Other Continental Tongue,

Other Continental Tongue.
When every progressive young Ger
man is doing his utmost to acquire
thorough knowledge of some other lam
guage than his own it seems a waste
of time for the Englishman to learn
German with an idea to making
money. Instead, he should learn Rus
sian. Russian is not the official lam
guage, but the actual medium of COM
munication throughout an empire rnat
extends from the Baltic to the Yellow
sea. Years ago on the Moscow cx-
change one might transact business as
rapidly in German as in Russian: now
the native merchants, even those who
know German, require some special
inducement to speak it, and in the hur-
ry of business turn aside impatiently
from any one who addresses them in
any other tongue than that they them
selves habitually use. In the near fu-
ture a knowledge of Russian will be
worth more to the mere commercial
than any two continental languages.
for Russia is making gigantic strides
in all industries, says Pearson's Week
ly. AS a recent visitor aptly describes
1T, Russia is new America" To q
young man who adds to a knowledge
of Russian practical experience in any
staple industry. Russia offers a PROM
Using career. Mere theoretical knowl-
edge is not enough; this is taught, and

ties; st. Petersburg alone turns out
some hundreds of efficient "techno-
logs" every year. Practical work in
any OF the textile. engineering. or the
chemical industries is not SO readily
Obtainable in Russia, and a capable
Englishman is sure of an engagement
at a wage double or treble that he
would receive at home.

The "GentIeman Farmer

According TO tradition there was
once an old woman who kissed her
cow and said: Everyone to his own
taste" Out at Bustleton there is a
gentleman farmer" who can give the
aforesaid old woman cards and spades
and beat her at her own game, says
the Philadelphia Record. He doesn't
kiss his COWS, but he does something
more remarkable. He actually scrubs
their teeth with large tooth brush,
This man has many peculiar ideas
about his life stock, and particularly
his cows. which are of the very finest
breeds. So cautious is he about their
eating and drinking that all the water
the cows use is distilled. 1t is said
that he has a separate tooth brush for
each COW, and as he cannot depend
upon his men to do the brushing, he
does it himself. using the very best
CASTLE soap. He feels that in adopt
ing this course he is assured OF pure
milk, free from the possibility of mi
crobes.

MUSK OK RAISING.

Extensive Scale.
In Sweden the industry of raising
the musk OK for its fleece has been
started on a large scale, says the New
York Journal. After making many I'M
successful attempts the Kolkhoff Arc
tic expedition, which several seasons
ago returned to Sweden from Green
land, succeeded in there capturing
alive two calves of the musk OK. male
and female, and in bringing them to
Sweden in good condition In this way
the musk OK industry started. At
present there is large herd OF these
animals, which are being cared for on
farm in northern Sweden, where all
conditions are apparently suitable for
their development The musk OK (ovi-
bas moschatus) is a singular animal,
in appearance resembling both an OK
and sheep. as the scientific name
"oVlbaS' implies. It's introduction into
Sweden will be Of great benefit to that
country, in the opinion of Kolkhoff.
who, in flat contradiction to the state
mentS Of the older biologists. says that
the flesh of the animal is not merely
edible, but of very agreeable flavor. AS
a fully developed musk OK weighs
about 1900 pounds this is an import
ant consideration. But the principal
value of the animal lies in its heavy
fleece of dark brown wool of extraor-
dinarlly fine fiber. The fleece OF a
single musk OK Outweighs those Of %
