Freight on Street Cars.

cars are used for the delivery of freight,
despite the grumblings of the people.
The cities of Gera, Frost and Sprem-
berg are not large places, but indus
trially exceedingly active, especially in
textiles. The power used on the tram
ways is electric or steam; the goods
are transferred at the station into
smaller trucks, or the railway cars are
taken over the town lines. At Frost
there are three morning and three aft
ernoon deliveries. At Gera perambu-
lator cars, with fangeless wheels apart
from guide wheels, have been tried
with Indifferent success. All these
plants have been worked with a profit
for several years.

ingalls, at College.

at is interesting to note" says the
Springfield Republican, ''that the late
John J. ingalls, came close to parallel
ing the experience of James Russell
Lowell, who was rusticated before his
class exit, and was not present at their
graduation. AS Mr.. ingalls, himself
stated the case:
"T delivered a scathing review of
the faculty of our college, taking as my
subject Mummy Life" and 1 treated
it n such a manner as to horrify my
own mother, who had come to see me
graduate, as we'll as the entire faculty.
The college professors thought to head
me off by revising my oratory and cut
ting the heart out of it. But when
came to speak L added all they had
omitted, and paid my respects to the
faculty in some trenchant words of
criticism. They debated for some time
whether they should hold my diploma,
but they said that my grafton had so
much wit and pith in it that, while it
cut deeply, they admitted a great part
of it was true
The fact that this was forgiven
shows that Williams college really had
no Mummy Life and indeed, Mr. In
gals never failed to express his rever-
ence for Mark Hopkins"

Steinitz.

Steinitz, the celebrated chess player,
says The Jewish Chronicle was de-
scended from a rabbinical family, his
grandfather having been a celebrated
Talmudist. His grandfathers brother,
ShOlem Steinitz, was rabbi of Altoona,
and many CT his descendants are to be
found today scattered over various
parts of Germany. The name of Stein
it's uncle Lazarstein, is to be seen on
many of the Chumoshim published in
Prague, where he was the chief official
corrector of the'Jewish press. Steinitz
himself was originally educated for the
rabbinical profession.

When Mr.. Ephraim Maxwell was
taken to see his sons new house in
the center of Hortonville, he found
much to admire but nothing to make
him discontinued with the old farm
house in which he had lived for sixty
nine years.
''Now, father'' said his sons wife,
laying an affectionate hand on his
arm and speaking most persuasively,
"don't you see how nice these win
dows are? Wouldn't you like to have
those little old panes taken out of the
farm windows-downstairs, at any
rate-and have this big, clear glass
put in instead?"
Mr.. Maxwell looked thoughtfully
out of the window at which he and
his daughter-in-la were standing.
He drummed on the sill for a mo-
ment, watching the people pass up
and down the busy town street.
''No, Mary" he said at last, with
whimsical smile, "this kind of win
dow-pane is all right for your house,
where there's constant passing; but
up there on the farm, where some
times only one man and COW goes by
in day, it's better to have the old
fashioned glass that makes one man
look like general muster"

Churches s.SIow Pay"

Alas, it has come to be proverb in
business that churches are "slow pay!'
Many would go step farther and stig-
Matte them as ''poor pay" We do
not join with those who indulge in the
harsher criticism, for churches are
made up of honest people and are man
aged honestly. But it is fact that the
financial administration of a church is
seldom conducted with the self re-
specting precision Of a bank or other
private corporation. - Church Econo-

R0Rr Children.

Olive Schreiner says that the chill.
dren of the Beers carry away all the
intellectual Sonors in South Africa.
They fill the schools and bear off the
prizes. They are the lawgivers, the
magistrates, the successful barristers,
the able doctors, and she attributes it
to the fact that these Dutch Africans
come of an ex, .Jtionally able stock,
which for several generations lay fall
low, drawing strength from the soil
and not exposed to the devitalizing in
f1uence of cities.

is 1T MALARIA OR ALUM7
IPopulnr Science Monthlu.l


Languor, loss of appetite, indiges-
ton and often feverishness are the COM
mon symptoms of physiological con-
dition termed "malaria. All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use Of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu.
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious to
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is nec-
essary to keep SO dangerous an element
from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-five
to ffty cents pound. Therefore, If
you are paying much less something is
wrong; If you are paying twenty-five
cents OF less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum. Always
bear these simple facts in mind whep
purchasing baking powder.

Spring Wheat Report.

The monthly report of the statistician
OF the department of agriculture states
that as result of the special investi-
cation relative to the winter wheat
acreage plowed up or cut for forage,
the departments estimate of the area
remaining under cultivation has been
further reduced by 1,676,000 acres, the
area abandoned, in addition to that an
nounced May 10, comprising 581, 200
acres in Ohio, $4,000 acres in Michigan,
100000 acres in Indiana, 34S,000 acres
in Illinois and 448,000 acres in Califor-
mia. This brings the area in winter
wheat remaining under cultivation on
June 1 down to 24,908,00O acres, re-
duction from the area sown in the fall
of 5,240,000 acres. Notwithstanding
the further reduction of acreage by the
elimination of all land entirely aban-
doned, the condition of winter wheat
declined during May 2.6 points, the
condition of June being S2.7, against
SS.9 on May 1, 67.3 on June 1, 1899, 9O.S
at the corresponding date in 1898, and
10-year average of S0.7.
Preliminary reports on the spring
wheat acreage indicate a reduction of
about $4,000 acres, or 2.9 per cent.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oregon re-
port reduction of 4 per cent; North
Dakota and Nebraka 5 per cent, and
Iowa 6 per cent. In South Dakota and
Washington there is an increase of /
per cent.
The average condition of spring
wheat on June was 87.3, as compared
with Ola on June 1, 1899; 1909 at the
corresponding date in 1898, and 10
year average of SO. Minnesota falls 10,
North Dakota Z, South Dakota II and
Wisconsin points below their respec-
tive 10-year averages.
On the other hand the 10-year aver
ages are exceeded in Nebraska, Iowa,
Oregon and Washington by Is, 1, 4 and
points respectively.
The total reported acreage in oats
exceeds the average harvested last
year by 3.9 per cent.
The acreage reported as under bar
ley is 6.10 per cent. greater than the
area harvested last year.
The acreage under rye shows re-
duction Of Al per cent from that har-
vested last year.
The average condition of rye is 876
as compared with 84.5 on June 1, 1899;
97.1 at the corresponding date in 1898,
and a 10-year average Of 1919.
