Hume says, and
A CERTAIN SIGN. Mcleod quote S
him in his Gle

ments of Economics
Nothing is esteemed more certain
sign of the flourishing condition of any
nation than the lowness of interest"
But money, however plenty, has no
other effect, if unfluctuating in pur-
chasing power, than to raise the price
of labor. Silver is more common than
gold and therefore you get a bigger
weight Of it when you sell for silver
your wheat, corn, pork or beef. But
can you borrow silver at less rate of
interest than you pay for gold? If all
the gold in the United States were ex-
changed in single day for silver, at the
sacred ratio of 16 to 1, would interest be
lower the next day? Would the credit
of man without good name, without
character for honesty, without property,
be better at bank than it now is?
If gold becomes as common as silver,
and silver as common as copper, will
interest rates necessarily be lowered,
and all the bowling, rag-tag-and-bob-
tail of Bryanarchy be able to have their
notes discounted at the banks?

NEBRASKA
POETRY.

of a new poet, whose genius has been
discovered by the Louisville (Nebraska)
Courier. Louisville is q small town, but
good things have been known to come
out of Nazareth. We think the pro-
duction that we quote herewith is re-
markable composition. We have read
it over and over, and every time we are
more thoroughly convinced that it is
beyond anything we have seen before.
We admit that there may be some flaws
picked in the mechanical details of
meter and rhythm, but anyone with a
soul for art can rise above such trifles.
The patriotic fervor that inspires the
poem is grand. The writer's facts may
be the least in the world mixed, but he
moves through his five stanzas with
magnificent epic sweep, and lands his
hero just where he belongs. Milton
could do no more. We are sorry not to
be able to give the poets name, and
trust his genius will not be allowed to
perish under any Cass county bushel
HOME-BREWED POETRY.

He like other brave boys went
member Of Dewey crew
And to the Philippines was sent.
And while on the battle field
Where shot and shells were screaming
And from the enemy's bullets they could not
be shield,
While from the bodies of some brave boys
| their blood was streaming.
Dewey, Dewey in front was standing
With all his boys around him,
Listening for their commanding
While the Filipinos had surround them.
Wounded as he was lying,
Thinking never more his sweethearts hand
can feel,
While slowly he was dying,
For the bullet his life did steal.
Just as his death drew nigh,
In heaven we shall meet on the golden shore,
Was the simple words he did cry,
There's life forever and death no more

Chin chilIns For Pets.

or the thousands OF women wearing
chiuchilla hats. nuffs and trimmings
how many know anything about the
history of these costly fragile skins?
Yet it is unusually interesting. The
chinchilla is Il pretty. nimble-footed
little creature, no larger than small
rabbit, and Is found in the South
American highlands. The districts 1t
inhabits are practically rainless, which
accounts for the damage done to chin
chilla fur by fog and showers in this
country. Until lately the Indian trap
ers used to spear the little creatures
mt the bottom of their holes with long
cactus prongs fastened 10 rod. This
punctured the skins. however, and
lessenod their value: so smoking out
was tried.
That also had to be given up as
smoke turned the fur yellow, and vel
lowed chinchllla Is unsaleable. Nova
days dynamite Is used to scare the
creatures out of the holes. a chinchil-

ridge exploded in its midst by a fuse.
The chinchlllns, terrified out of their
wits, rush from their burrows. and are
promptly dubbed on the headlight
by the Indians. Even in South Amerl-
ca, the roughly cured skins bring the
hunters from twelve shillings to three
pounds apiece.
The chlnchilla, by the way, makes Il
very charming, though timid, pet, and
one or two society women have pro-
vided themselves with them as a pleas.
ing novelty. The fur OF the little
creatures is much more fluffy and silky
in life than in death, and their beau
tiful large dark eyes add TO the charm
Of their dainty appearance. They are
clever. self-indulgent little beasts, fond
of fruit and sweets, and much given

College Girl Life.

The idea that there is anything alb
normal in a college life for girls is fast
passing away. The college girl may
still be problem to some persons, size
is not in the least one to herself, or
To those who know her best. The
average girl goes to college for the
reason that her brother goes, to get a
little longer training of mind and dis
cipline of character before the WORK
of life, whatever that may be, is en-
tered upon. Matthew Vassar, IN estab-
fishing the college which bears his
name, had sharp appreciation Of the
value Of knowledge. hut his apprecia-
tIon was equally keen Of the yalte to
the world at large of the true woman.
His ideal was TO develop strong
woman who should yet be gentle. for
he knew, as other percelving minds
have known before and since his time,
that strength without gentleness Is
odlous. while the gentleness that misses

permanent benefit from them they
must be used in connection with the

In reply TO the question. What is the
science OF butter flavor? we quote
from bulletin forty OF the Iowa Elk.

Please nOte what Is said about skim
milk as n starter This is precisely
how our grandmothers made perfectly
favored butter. Science but explains
their practice.
"Butter favor is produced mostly
by the bacterial fermentatioDs which
have taken place in the milk and
cream The kind OF flavor produced
depends upon the class of bacteria
causing the fermentation. Cream rip
ened with common bacteria found in
Lay dust bacillus subtillis) gives Il
very undesirable flavor to butter.

tions that are in the milk. This diff
ference is due 10 the greater number
OF bacteria Of the acid class found IN
the milk during the summer season
The ripening of good quality Of
natural cream Is mostly a development
of acid bacteria. When good favored
cream Is ready for churning the nuui-

or this number the acid-producitlg
bacteria constitutes from ninety-onc

cess OF rirening advances. the relative
percentage OF acid bacteria greatly
increases. As this proceeds some
species disappear; others are prevent
Cd from increasing In numbers.

practically pure culture Of acid-pro-
ducing bacteria.
THE lnvor-producng power of four
species OF acid-producing bacteria was
tried by using them to ripen Pasteur-
cream. Any one of these gave the
butter the typical flavor and aroma
produced in natural ripening.
