Nearly Five Hundred Per Cent.

The Oldest aud greatest of the
trusts, the Standard Oil Company, is
occasionally held Up 10 evidence of
the bene6cent operation of such in.
stitutions, because, as explained, the
price OF the natural product it controls
IS lower now than when it was organ
lied and began business; and we have
heard intelligent men, with no par
ticular leanings to monopoly, express
themselves to that effect. The New
York World prints some information
that will enable them to form a sound
cr Judgment.
The Standard Oil directors, it is
noted, declared in March dividend
OF 20 per cent and have just declared
another OF IL per cent-which means
that in the first four months of 1901
they have divided profits of S32 2,OOU,-
600 on their 500, 600, 600 of alleged
invested capital. The company, it is
seen, is fairly well compensated forits
work as public benefactor.
The record Of monopoly is more in.
tcresting and instructive for it's bene6-
ciaries-the public it serves-when
more of it is taken into the view. Up
to June, 1899. not quite two years
ago, the capital of the concern was
only Sl0,09O, ,000-on which sum it
had been paying for eight years divi-
dends ranging from IL to 33 per cent
per annum. In that month it's CAPT.
talization was increased, "by stroke
OF the pen,' to 100000. 900 of com.
mon stock and Si0, ,000, ,U00 Of preferred
stock, and it has since paid, in two
years, on the new capitalization-nine-
tenths water '-$113, ,0OO, ,0O0in divi-
dends.
1t was very handsome profit, Of
course, being something over 100 per
cent, when reckoned on the basis of
the inflated capitalization Of $110,-
600, 1000. But it was really better
than that. If the original capitaliza-
tion of $4,000, 900 has been retained,
it is shown, the dividends declared
upon it in the two years would have
been 1893 per cent in 1899, 48O per
cent in 1900, and 800 per cent in the
first four months of 1901-with eight
months yet to be heard from.
Those more Or less thoughtful peo-
pie, as the Werld suggests who hug
the delusion that the monopoly has
immensely cheapened the price of
oir' to them may consider the ques-
tion how much cheaper it would be if
the profits of the concern were say, Z
per cent instead Of 480 per cent year
on it's actual capital.-Ne,os aud Cou-

arrested on the charge Of stealing a

"He's mine" said the other. "I

Zone Of you is mistaken" said the
judge. II cannot decide this matter.
l will settle it by letting a policeman
take the dog out and shoot him."
"All right" said one of the claim
ants, waving his fist in the face of the
other man. "Jus. so you don't get
him"
''No, don't kill the dog," shouted
the other man. Hes too nice dog
to be ruthlessly shot. Let the other
man have him; only I hope, your
Honor, chat you will make stipula-

Leather Railroad Tie.

Friedrich w. Dunncll, employee of
the Springfield g LACED Paper Company
mas recently secured patent ecr G
novel railroad tie. This is composed
entirely Of leather, ground in.o pulp
and treated by process similar to
that with which pulp is treated to
make it into paper and cardboard.
After undergoing this process the
leather is treated chemically to make
it impenetrable by water. 1t is then
cut icto strips the width and thick
ness of the tie, and many Of these
parts are put together TO make the
length Of the tie. These parts are
pressed together under an immense
pressure, which makes the tie per-
fcctly solid mass Of leather. Mr..
Dunncll proposes to make the tie en-
tlrely of waste leather, old shoes and
tho like, making the expense but a
trihc larger than for wooden tie.
The average wooden tie costs about
20 cents and its durability is about
eight years. 1t is said that the leath-
cr tic Will stand the weather and wear
for from twenty to thirty years with
out replacing. Mr.. Dunnell claims
for his invention that it has all the
elasticity of wood, will hold a spike as
well as wood, if not better, and will
not rot. Another advantage is it's
uniformity in size, making it possible
to replace it with comparatively small
labor and expense. The tie will be of
particular advantage on street railways,
where there is macadam OF asphalt
surface, as there will not be the con-
tinual necessity for tearing up TIE
reet.--Spriaafeld Republican.

Milk AS a Food.

Milk is the most perfect human
food known, and absolutely necessary
for infants as we'll as the young Of all
MAMMALIAN animals. It is nature 8
food, and cannot be superseded by any
artificial combination of nutriments.
A very large percentage of infants
must De nourished by milk other than
that of their mothers. This is espec-
tally the case in ''high iife,'' as it is
often called. Among ultra fashiona-
bic people, or those of luxurious hab-
its, nursing their offspring is an in
convenience that is largely avoided,
and the "motherless" babes must be
nourished with the milk of animals.
In cities, especially, hundreds of these
unfortunate innocents die every year
from malnutrition-lack Of milk, or
from the use Of adulterated milk-and
little effective effort is made to pro-
tect the babies from suoh imposition.
Milk is ON Important article of food for
all classes-almost indispensable, but
Iii large cities is less than half pint
daily to each inhabitant. AT prevail
ing prices milk is one Of our cheapest
foods, as it furnishes more actual nu-
triment for the money than any other
animal product. A quart of milk
weighing 2.2 pounds contains as much
nutrimont as IL OUNCES Of best sirioin
beef. The milk costs FIVE cents, and
the beef fifteen cents. Besides this,
there is the labor and cost Of prepar-
ing che beef and the waete, which is
considerable. The milk is ready for
use without preparation and without
waste. The difference is very nearly
3.5 to in favor of milk. tits evident
that the people should have more
milk, end that special effort upon the
part Of government should be made to
secure to the people, especially in
fants, pure milk.

ant perhaps, are those recording the
farm stock, the flocks and herds. Ac

A New Storage Battery.

New York, May 21.-At the an
nual meeting of the American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers held here
tonight Arthur Kennedy, ex-presi-
dent of the Institute, read techni-
cal paper on new storage buttery
invented and perfected by Thomas A..
Edison.
From This report and from the dis
cussion thereon by the members of
the institute, which followed, it would
seem that the new invention is Of
great interest, scientifically, mechani-
cally and chemically. 1t has, as yet,
not been applied to commercial use.
According TO Or. Kennelly's report
Edison claims that, weight for weight,
size and cost being equal, the new
storage battery will do about two and
onc-half times as much work as the
present battery OF commerce. AS au
illustration, it is claimed that where
an automobile will run fifty milee, with
the new Edison batteries the same
vehicle w;i! -1n ahcr. ere hundred
and twenty-five miles. The fact that
the cell and plates of this new bat
terry are made of steel is departure
long sought for.

Don't Write Sentimental Letters.

Dority Dix has written some very
worldly-wise words on the subject of
ultra sentimentalism among girls.
The advice sounds somewhat calcu-
lating, but it has much of truth in it.
"If you have formed the sentiment
al lctter-writing habit" she says,
''stop it right now.
"Never write another one. Never
write man how much you love him,
or call him pet names until after you
are married to him. and then you
want to- and you will be safe, for you
will know that it is always besssr to
keep something in reserve. II you
feel so sentimental you are bound to
to gush, write it out and burn it your
self. Then you will know it has been
destroyed; but don't trust Henry
Adolphous to do it. He might show
it to that hateful Smith girl, who was
your rival; he might hand it around
so that the Office boy and the other
clerks would have fun with it.
Besides it is not certain you will
marry Adolphous. Always keep one
eye on the future man. Ihave known
more than one promising affair br oxen
off by an old love letter turning up
inopportunely. Never send letter
TO man until you have kept it twen-
ty-four hours in the ice box, and are
certain it is properly chilled.
In one Of Miss Braddon' 8 most de-
lightful stories the heroine is a great
fiirt. I have said all things to ali
men, she says with virtuous self.com-
mendation, but, thank heaven, there
isn't scratch of my handwriting in

Say what you please, but'don't gush
on paper.

and the matter is not explained, but T
feel positively confident it war those
letters that did the business. No
man could atand that muoh renti-
ment. She choked him to death on
sugar plums.
Don't write too many letters any
way, and when you do write make il
short. A twelve. page letter is crime
in these strenuous timos. When it
ID full Of gushing sentiment it ought
to be capital offense. Always keep
