We are asked as to the relative prof
its to be made in raising sheep as com.
pared with hogs, horses or cattle.
There are so many conditions associat-
ed with such n question that it is not
easy to frame an answer. There are the
difference in men, the difference in
farms and many other things. This
may be said, however: The sheep is the
cleanest animal on the farm. 1t is also
as a general thing the healthiest. It
produces two crops in a season-one of
meat and one Of wool. 1t is the best
and most effective farm fertilizer we
have. 1t is an omnivorous feeder and
a most practical weed destroyer. 1t is
the incest animal to care for and the
most easily cared for of any kind of
farm animal. If to the foregoing be
added the fact that pound Of mutton
can be produced just as cheaply and a
little more so than a pound Of beef or
pork and that it will one year with an
other bring just as good a price in the
market. we think a pretty good argu-
ment has been made for the keeping of
sheep. Perhaps, taking a series of ten
years, the rate of dividend received or
capital invested in any of these varie
ties of live stock would not vary very
much, but we believe that such divi
dend may be secured by the owner OF
such stock with less fret and worry
and with more ease from sheep than
from aifhnl. of tho others

So Likewise Are Many of Our Vices
and Troubles.
All human beings imagine themselves.
thanks to our natural hlissful condition
of egotism. to be highly important sepa-
rate individuals.
We think that we are born independent
Of all other men and women and that
each of us can map out his little life in
his own way.
As a matter Of fact. we are simply
drops in big cistern. and we take on, in
spite of ourselves. the characteristics of

into the ocean and it becomes salt Throw
the same drop into a cesspool and it be-
comes fOul.
Human beings. in spite of themselves
and without any exception. absorb the
characteristics of those around them.
These very commonplace remarks are
suggested by the case Of DR.. George \
Schurtleff.
This unfortunate physician was for
years superintendent of the Stockton In
sane asylum in California.
He was looked upon as a man Of ex-
traordinary mental power, great expert
in insanity.
He is now dying Of dementia in the
asylum which he used to control.
There is not the slightest question that
mental disease was bred in him by CON
slant association with those mentally
afflicted. The climax in his misfortune
was caused by his failure to cure his
/ adopted daughter of insanity. When he
| discovered that her case was hopeless.
his mind gave way, and he will spend the
rest Of his life as a hopeless lunatic-
If man can be thus afflicted by re-
pulsive disease which can have no posi-
Bile attraction for him. think how power
full and how fatal must be the effects Of
association with vices and Affections that
attract us.
If strong minded physician cannot as
sociate with the insane without himself
becoming insane. what chance has q

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
May Be Deemed Necessary by the Pre-
ident and His AdN,iears

Way BE Deemed Necessary by the Pres
ident and His Advisers.
Cedar Rapids, Ia, May 29-The
president and the members of the cab
met spent much Of the time yesterday
reading and discussing the published
reports Of the opinions of the supreme
court in the insular cases. They were
much interested in the way the court
divided in the two cases. The decision
in the De Lima case, if followed in the
Philippines case, as it is assumed it
will be, might result in the calling of
an extra session Of congress.
Such a decision would mean not only
the refunding of duties heretofore col
lected, but would open the ports of the
United States to merchandise and
goods of every description from the
Philippines until congress meets in De
cember. 1t is obvious that importers
might take advantage of this to ship
goods into the United States through
the Philippines and thus defraud the
! government Of its revenues. Whether
the danger from this source is great
enough to warrant the calling of con
gress in extra session will be decided
only after full deliberation.
1t is possible, however, that this dan
ger may have been already obviated
in the enactment of the Spooner reso
luton delegating temporarily to the
president the power to govern the Phil
ippines. This may be considered an
act of congress within the meaning Of
the Downes decision affirming the con
stitutionality Of the Foraker law.

In many persons minds the word diplO-

typical of the condition on its bright side.
But there is anOther-that of distant and

In the course of an address delivered at

morous vein to a recent gift to that insti-

commended itself most heartily to his
own judgment-in fact, f,w wiser dis
positions of money seemed to him to be
possible. In a word, the income of the
bequest was to be used in increasing the
presidents salary. DR.. Pritchett an

dowment about SO year.

The Selection Of Moderator Minton to
Succeed Rev. D. Dickey In That Po-
sition Disturbs the Equanimity Of the
Commissioners.
Philadelphia, May 2S.-The 18th
Presbyterian general assembly was
dissolved at 6:15 o'clock last night by
Moderator Minton after having been
in session for nearly two weeks, during
which time many matters of the ut
most Importance to the church were
considered. Chief among these was !
the question regarding the revision of
the confession of faith. After a dis |
cussion continuing nearly four days
this momentous subject was referred
to a special committee of q members,
who will make recommendations as
to the manner in which the creed
should be revised and present them to
the next general assembly, which
meets in New York.
Yesterday. for the first time since
the assembly convened, the equanim-
/ ity of the commissioners was dis
| turbed by the introduction of person
alities. The trouble occurred during
! the discussion on the craftsmanship of
/ the revision committee. Rev. Dr. ].
/ D. Moffat suggested a change in the
/ minutes of Mondays session, so the
records would show that a new COM
mittee had been appointed to revise
the creed, regardless Of the old COM
mittee, of which Rev. DR.. Charles A.
Dickey, of this city. was chairman.
His suggestion was adopted and Rev.
DR.. James E. Moffat, of Cumberland,
Nd, moved that Moderator Minton be
elected chairman of the committee.
This incensed the friends of DR.
Dickey, and although DR.. Moffatts mo
ton prevailed the subject was revived
later in the session by Rev. DR.. S. J
Niccolls, of St. Louis. DR.. NiccOllS
moved to reconsider the motion, bu
as he had not been present during the
earlier debate he was declared out o
order. The motion to reconsider wa
then renewed by Rev. w. D. Crockett
\ VI OdulOlA, de- anu many VI bAAG COAA
missioners participated in the debat
, that followed. Realizing the delicac
9 Of his position Moderator Minton re
!. linquished the chair to Vice Moderate
I Pitcairn. The matter was finally az
+ justed by DR.. Dickey, who advised tn
assembly against reconsidering tn
motion, saying he was confident tha
J. there had been no attempt to cast an
n reflection upon him, but that the con
missioners merely desired to hone
his successor.
v Dr. Dickey's friends wanted the ele
n ton of the chairman to be made by tn
! committee, in which event it is CO..
= ceded Dr. Dickey would have been r
: elected. The motion, however, We
! lost.
