From "a source that is anthem
tic the Press learns that the
officials Of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road have defin-
itely decided to double the ca
pacity of the company's big ore
dock at Wells during the present
winter. The plans are now be-
ing prepared and the contracts
for the necessary material will
be let at once. 1t is expected
that the work will commence as
soon as navigation closes and
that the extension will be ready
for service in the spring. The
present dock has a total length
of 700 feet and contains 100
pockets each having a capacity
of $50 tons, or an aggregate of
30, 900 tons. With an extension
capable Of handling an addition
al 30, 900 tons, the dock becomes
the largest on the lakes.
The ST. Paul company also
proposes adding largely to car
equipment and 1000 fifty.ton
cars will be constructed during
the winter at the Milwaukee
shops.

oheese Makine in Iowa,

Iowa enjoys the proud distinction of
the foremost dairy state in the union.
The butter product of the creameries
in 1900 amounted to nearly 88,0OO,O00
pounds and it was worth over $4,000
900 on the market The cheese product
of the state, however, amounted to only
little over 1000, 900 pounds and Iowa
annually imports cheese for home con-
sumption. Itis sometimes claimed that
Iowa is not adapted to cheese making.
These conditions have led to careful
investigation of the subject of cheese
making at the Iowa Experiment Station
at Ames and it has beed clearly demon
strated that practically ss good cheese
can be made in Iowa as in the most
famous factories of Canada, the pro-
ducts of which have made such favor

Bulletin No. 81 of the Iowa Experiment
Station gives q report of this work, and
furnishes information about the best
methods of making cheese and the con-
dltions essential to success. This bull

Calling the Doctor.

A good story Is told of DIR. x, who Is
the physician in charge of the female
wards of one of our best known chart.
table institutions. One evening about
8 o'clock Mary, new Irish servant
girl. knocked at the door, saying:
Doctor, the head nurse wants you
to come down, tosupper." :
The doctor. swelling in his pride OF
superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl away with curt message
Half an hour later the head nurse came
to his room looking very serious.
Doctor" she said, mo. s is very bad
indeed. think you ought to see her at
once"
why did you not let me know be-
fore?" was the reply.
"Why, DOCTOR" said the nurse, ~
sent you word by Mary half an hour
ago."
The fool." said the doctor. "She
told me to come down to superb
why" said the nurse, 81 sent you
word to come down to eight"
An inquiry made the whole thing
clear. Mary thought it more polite to
say Come down to supper" than to
say "Come down to ate."-Pearson's
Weekly.

A Sensitive Scot


A sensitive Scot rebukes the London
Daily Chronicle for saying that his
countrymen pronounce man "mon.'
1.-The absurd form 'mon,' he writes, SIS
the hall mark of Scots vernacular as
written by southern pen, and its In.
trusion has often lent additional sad.
ness to comic journalism, even, alas,
to the pages of our chief humorous
periodical. In the north of England
mon certainly occurs; in Scottish
speech never. In Scott and Stevenson
one may look for it in vain. The
broad, soft vocalization of the word in
Lothian dialect lies somewhere be.
tween 'maun' and man. but as II
cannot be literally symbollzed the
word should be spelt In dialect pas.

Why We Eat oysters RAW.


DIR. William kCLcrts in his interest
ing lectures on the digestive ferments
writes: "Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional and furnish
es striking example of the general
correctness of the popular judgment on
dietetic questions. The oyster is al
most the only animal substance which
we eat habitually and by preference in
the raw or uncooked state and it is in
teresting to know that there is sound
physiological reason Mt the bottom of
this preference.
"The fawn colored mass which con-
stitutes the dainty of the oyster is its
liver, and this is little less than heap
of glycogen. Associated with the gly-
cogen, but withheld from actual con-
tact with 1t during life, is its appropri-
ate digestive ferment, the hepatic dias.
tase. The mere crushing of the dainty
between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is at
once digested without other help by its
own diastase.
'The oyster in the uncooked state or
merely warmed is, in fact, self digest
i've. But the advantage of this provi.
sion is wholly lost by cooking, for the
heat Immediately destroys the associ-
ated ferment, and cooked oyster has
to be digested, like any other food, by
the eaters own digestive powers"

A Historic Throne.

The biggest episcopal throne in Eu-

posed of the very best oak. with mag
niticent carving executed by the most
expert designers of the day, the throne
scars upward in beautiful tapering pin
naclcs. which rise up to the lofty roof
of the sacred cdifce. The throne is
not only the biggest, but one Of the
Oldest. 1t was saved from destruction
by the puritans by the ingenuity of the
Cavaliers, who when the Roundheads
marched on Exeter pulled down the
throne and divided 1t into 1868 pieces
one for every day of the year. The
pieces were safely secured In many
hiding places. and when peace was re
stored the pieces We're put together
again without the aid of single nail.

ences as congressman in 1S49, when
he originated the life saving service by
offering resolution In the house of
representatives to appropriate money
to save lives imperiled by the sea. Eel
low members of congress at that ses-
sion were John Quincy Adams and
Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Newell said:
"VariOus objections were made to my

that the scheme was impracticable. I

Sheep On The Farm.

OF all domestic animals sheep are
the greatest fertilizers, the best scaven-
gers and the easiest kept with the
least expense of any live stock on the
farm, says w. Watson in Wool Markets
and Sheep. Ny own experience has
taught me that they are not only the
farmers relief from hard work, but
that they will pay for all the care and
all the feed that are given them in the
way of manure.
There can be found on almost every
farm in the land some rough and billy
ground that is not producing as IL
should, and all that land could in q
short time be made as valuable as the
rest by the pasturing and feeding of q
few sheep thereon, for they will seek
the highest points, and there they will
scatter their manure better and evener
than can be done In any other way. 1t
is my opinion that q farm. can maintain
9 flock Of sheep, say one sheep to every
two acres, at comparatively no cost
Whatever, and they win bring him from
sSt 10 as per head each year, 60 that On
every farm Of 100 acres so sheep can be
kept, and they will pay in manure for
every bit of feed and all the care, and
the farmer is ahead from $3.50 to $500
each year.
believe the worst trouble expert.
enced by many shepherds is the feed
of corn to their sheep. Corn should
never be fed to breeding sheep under
any circumstances. The best and
cheapest feed is bran and oats mixed
equal parts with good clover hay OF
corn fodder. Good shelter from storms
should not be neglected. They must
also have good water to drink, for that
is as necessary as feed.

The Manufacture Of Plate Glass.

The casting table of plate glass fac
tory Is about 20 feet long, 10 feet wide
and 6 inches thick. Strips of iron on
each side afford bearing for the roll
ers and determine the thickness Of the
plate to be cast. The molten glass is
poured on the table, and the roller
passing from end to end spreads the
glass to a uniform thickness. The
glass, after cooling rapidly, is transfer
red to the anneallng oven, where 1t re-
mains several days. When taken out,
1t is very rough and uneven and in that
state is used for skylights and other
purposes where strength is desired
rather than transparency. The greater
part Of the glass. however, is ground,
smoothed and polished.

The symposium on Industrial and
Railroad Consultations in the May
number of the North American Review
opens with an article by the venerable
financier, Russell Sage. Mr. Sage re.
CARDS with grave suspicion the business
methods of the present time, in accord
ance with which number of concerns
are combined into one great corpor-
alton. They may, he thinks, lead us to
the brink of disaster, If they do not pre-
cipitate us over the brink. The un-
easiness with which the public regards
the information of the so-called trusts,
and the hostile attitude of the general
press, constitute danger signal which
should not be ignored by those who are
responsible for the organization of these
powerful combinations. Mr.. Sage COM
ments upon the great increase which
has taken place In requests for loans
based on industrials:
"No one can even estimate the
amount of money that has been ad-
vanced on securities of this class; but
it is conservative estimate to say that
industrial loans are as ten to one COM
pared with conditions few years ago.
This is apparent from the business Of
fered at my Office from day to day.
The volume of money in the country is
entirely inadequate to meet anything
like the demands that are made on COL
lateral of this class. In fact, we have
gotten away entirely from the old idea
of making the money of the country the
basis of our trading. Instead, there is
thrown into the business world, to be
used as trading medium, millions up
on millions of new stocks, the real
value of which is yet to be determined.
AS soon as this is thoroughly realized,
we may look for trouble, pending a
readjustment. This can be predicted
with perfect safety.

EARLY SILK weaver.

Among the cncouragements offered to
silk weavers during the first century of
the existence of this industry in Lyons
was exemption from military service
and taxation. So rapid was Its devel-
opment that In 1860 the weavers num-
bered $4,000. or 10000 with affiliated
pursuits.
