A Combination Food Tor Horses,
One OF the best combination foods
for horses Is green oats-that Is, oats
cut when the grain Is IN the milky
ctage and cured like hay. The straw
is then very nutritious as the food
Is arrested IN the stalk while on It's
way to hll out the grain. When cut
with a fodder cutter horses relish the
mess more than they do any other
coarse foods.

SPEECH MADE GOLDEN.
New Process for Perpetuating the
Words of NotabIes ON Phono-
graph Cylinders.

When the photograph first made its
appearance il appealed very strongly
TO the popular imagination, and one
of the dreams entertained regarding
il was that it might render practicable
the preservation of the spoken words
of great personages for centuries; so
as to repeat, for example, sayings OF
Queen Victoria to people who VIII
dwell on the earth 500 years from
now. The notion of perpetuating the
actual voices of individuals, so as 70
enable them 10 address, as if from the
tomb, human beings belonging TO a
long-subsequentepoch, was both weird
and fascinating, and an intense senti-
mental interest was inspired when the
idea was suggested as being applicable
TO communications from the long dead
to their own descendants, says the
Saturday Evening Post.
Up to now this dream has not been
fulfilled. because of the nonperma-
nency of Photographic records. Wax
is easily destroyed. celluloid cylinders
alter structnrally. and metal eorrodes.
The problem of durability seemed
hopeless, but it is said TO have been
solved at last by Mr.. Edison, who has
found a way of producing recorc-cyl-
inders of gold backed with silver.
which he hopes viii last for thousands
of years.
The method adopted is TO take an or
binary wax record-cylinder and put II
into a receiver between two gold cleo
trodes. Then the air is exhausted
from the receiver, and between the
electrodes is passed a spark, which
produces fine vapor Of gold in the
vacuum. The gold is deposited from
the vapor in a film Of infnitesimal
thinness all over the record. The next
step is to put over the golden film
a coat of copper by eiectroplating.
Then the wax cylinder is softened
and gently removed. so that there re-
mains a thing cylindrical tube of cop
per with the gold record in relief on
the inside of IL. The gold film is only
about one-millionth Of an inch in thick
ness. but it reproduces perfectly the
original record made on the wax.
Next. parafin is smeared over the cop
per, and the tube IS plated with sill
yer. which Is deposited only upon the
gold. owing to the protection given 70
the copper by the paraffin. The cop
per is then dissolved with hydro
chloric acid. which does not affect
either silver ar gold. and as a result

THE PASSPORT IN RUSSIA.
One Travelling There Cannot Moys
About the Country without
the Document.

The train slows down as ii crosses
the frontier, and creeps gently up TO
the platform of the first station on
Russian soil. Furtively peeping out
Of the window. you behold number OF
stalwart men uniformed in the Rus
sian style. and wearing the peculiarly
Russian top boots. The polite condnc-
tor comes TO the compartment and
bids YOU get the passport ready, says
Chambers Journal. After few min
utes of waiting. during which anxiety
is not diminished. an officer in smart
gray-b,ue uniform comes along, at
tended by soldier with wallet. He
demands the precious document, and,
noting its foreign origin, casts upon its
possessor a keen. searching glance.
Then he looks for the all-important
visa of Endorsement of the Russian
official in the country Of issue: and on
finding it he passes coldly on without
a word. All this is very formal and
impressive: YOU feel as prisoner feels
when the chain Of evidence is tighten
ing around him; your thoughts wander
back 10 the past, ana you WONDER
whether any indiscretion OF your in
significant youth may not now be
brought up in testimony against you.
The utmost care is taken in the
study and registration of these docu-
menfs; every Russian must have
his passport; every foreigner enter
ing or leaving the country must have
II. too. Whether native OF alien, you
cannot move about the country with
out the document; when you arrive
IN a town ii must be submitted 20 the
local police: when you leave thattown
the police must indorSe the passport
with their sanction TO the journey.

irmest hold over the people; and wise

Conductor Martin to meet trains Is and 3

ST. LOUIS, December 3.-The validity of

full answers to questions propounded by

aEcc Is made, according to an opinion just
handed down by the United States court
of appeals, in the case of John Q. Meyers,
administrator of the estate of Paul B.
Swetlick of Topeka, Kan, against the
Home Life Insurance Company of New
York. The plaintiff was a farmer, who
died in November, 1892 Following his
death his heirs sought to, recover from
the Home Insurance Company $25 900, in
which amount his life was insured.
AT the trial of the case in the United
States circuit court of Kansas it developed
that when Swetlfck applied for the policy
ne denied that he had any other insurance
when. in fact, he had. The circuit court
found for the plaintiff. and the insurance
company appealed the case. The case was
remanded 10 the circuit court for a new

Health In the South.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.

From the New Orleans es-DemOcrat.
Health conditions In the south are bet
ter now than ever before in the history Of
this section Of the country. Death per-
centages chargeable against the south have
decreased anywhere from 5 to 20 per cent
Millions of dollars have been spent in max
ing certain public improvements which
have enabled the health officers of the
south to cope with every threatening con-
tingency. At every important point in this
section liberal appropriations have been
made out Of the public treasury for the
construction of splendid sewerage and
drainage systems. The south Is clean.
Health boards have been doing good work
Scientific methods have been appealed to
both in the matter Of treating diseases and
in removing their causes, and 1t may be
said at this time that no important point
IN the south Is in danger of any sort of
infection within or without. Science has
builded an unbroken cordage around the
south, along the coast line and elsewhere
through which the germs Of disease may
not pass. and these facts forebode much
that is good for this section"
These statements were made by DR. Mar
Gus Haase. and ne discussed the new con-
ditions In the south with an enthusiastic
confidence born of vast experience and
elaborate research into present health con-
ditionS in this section.

WORKING OVERTIME.
Protest Filed and Response Returned
by C0mWisstOners


The District Commissioners have received
a communication from the Central Labor
Union inquiring as to why John Jacoby. a
sewer contractor. was given permission to
work overtime and on Sundays. The union
enters emphatic protest against the grant,
ing of such permission. saying. among
other things. that:
The practice OF contractors for public
works has been Of late to invoke the emer-
gency clause upon the slightest pretext In
order that they might rush through their
work, and to be sure that they may be on
the safe side they appeal to your board to
grant them this privilege. We believe that
II the Commissioners will study the law
they WIN md that II was not the purpose of
the statute to aid the contractor in finishing
his contract. so that he could receive his
pay, but 1t was placed there for the benefit
OF the poor working man, so that his en-
pioyer could not force him to work longer
than eight hours in any one day.

teEdent OF sewers the Commissioners will

A Bath Chair Hanson Cab.
From the London Chronicle.

A new species Of recreation has just made
its appearance in Oxford. 1t takes the form
of kind of bath chair hanson cab, being.
indeed, nothing more than a very comforta-
BILE basket chair mounted upon two wheels,
with ball bearings and rubber tires. This
chair Is fastened to the saddle pillar of a
bicycle by means Of a rigid shaft, with a
ball socket at the head. so that neither the
steering of the cycle nor the leaning over
of the machine as it turns curve Is at
fected. No doubt the new conveyance will
prove an excellent form Of entertainment
with which the undergraduate may provide
his sisters or aunts when they visit Oxford.
The cars are not appropriately called
'rickshas,' and the labor is much lighter
than might be expected for the coolfe.
Rather more hills than usual have to be
walked but the idea has such vast possi-
bilities-for the purpose, say, Of paying a
round of afternoon calls. or conveying fair
burdens to outlying districts Of beauty and
amusement-that .'rickshas" are deserving
of adoption In the country generally. where.
indeed. they are beginning to be used. and
in the London suburbs where traffic Is not
too heavy They cannot possibly upset;
they travel more smoothly and faster than
a carriage. and are not in the least liable
to run away.

FISH, GOLD AND WOOD.
Bits of Information Given in the
Newspapers of Yukon.


Newspapers of Yukon,
From the Toronto (Ont.) Globe
The Yukon News says that the waters
of the Yukon have yielded seventy tons of
fish this year, fifty being salmon. The
amount does not seem very large, but It is
matter of Importance to a country where
food Is so expensive. Some men sinking a
well opposite the city hall in Dawson found
gold In the gravel. "If," said some Of the
enthusiasts. there are pieces Of gold the
size Of a bean at eleven feet below the sur
face, what will 1t be when bedrock Is
reached?"
The Dawson Daily News gives the par
ticulars OF this seasons yield Of gold,
reaching $23,OO3,OOO. In July $9725, 900
worth was taken out Up to 1897 the an
has been: 1897. 81, 500. 900; 1898, $4,000, 600;
1899, $4,000, 600; 1900, $22, 275, 600; total for
five years, including 1901, $73, 100000 A
Yukon gentleman owner of an opulent
woodptle. left the following notice thereon:
This Is my woodpile. Take what you
want. Take what shame will let you take,
and pay in to my account at the Aurora
dock what your conscience compels." The
amount taken was lis cords; receipts at
the Aurora dock, nil. Thus are cynics
made.

can government, says that there Is good

Evolution In Dress,
I'M the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Professor Albert Schneider of the school
of pharmacy Of Northwestern University
has some original ideas about the evolution
of dress, one Of them being that the stiff
white shirt Of today is natural aesthetic
growth from the bronze breastplate of the
earlier Romans. He told an Interested an
dience of alumni all about it last night in
the lecture hall of the pharmacy school on
Dearborn street. giving the history Of per
sonal adornment from the most primitive
times to the present day. Professor Schnei.
der does not believe that the world is going
ahead very fast In the matter of dress. and
says that men and women are essentially
barbaric and primitive in their tastes
pointing to evening dress suits, Derby, plug
and plumed hats and sealsl<in sacques in
proof of his assertion He was especially
severe last night on the popular fur boa, re-
ferring to 1t as a weak revival of the GUS
tom of barbarians. who took up the prac-
tice In order to impress their extreme bra
very on friends and enemies alike The
speaker drew his parallel by making the
statement that the woman of the present
day dons her boa to ''paralyze" or ..dazzlep
both friends and foes.
