onstrated that he possesses distin-
guished qualifications for the office.
He is man of vigor and positiveness
os character, of spotless honor, and
with high ideals of public duty.
As governor of the great state of
New York, he exhibited the most de-
sirable qualities of an executive off,
Ger. His administration was clean,
conservative, practical, business like.
Indeed, this has been his record in the
numerous positions he has filed in
his brilliant, If somewhat varied
career; in every instance he has risen
grandly to the exigencies of the office,
and has never disappointed the conf
dence imposed in him.
AS President, we believe he will
soon win the confidence of the Amer
lean people. On the great principles
of government, and in the important
issues now before this country, his
views are on the same line held by
President Mckinley, though it would
be hard to find two men differing
more widely in personal temperament.
He has already spoken briefly on
this point just before he took the oath
of office at Buffalo Saturday. sit
shall be my aim," he said, ito con-
tinue absolutely unbroken the policy
of President Mckinley for the peace,
prosperity and honor of the country"
His policy, as more fully outlined in
a conference with the Mckinley cab
met, will be for more liberal and ex-
tensive reciprocity in the purchase
and sale of commodities 30 that the
overproduction of this country can be
satisfactorily disposed of by fair and
equitable arrangements with foreign
countries; the abolition entirely of
commercial war with other countries,
and the adoption of reciprocity
treaties; the abolition of such tariffs
on foreign goods as are no longer
needed for revenue If such abolition
can be had without harm to our in
dustries and labor. Direct CONNER
cial lines between the eastern coast of
the United States and the ports in
South America, and the Pacific coast
ports and Mexico, Central America
and South America; the encouraging
of the merchant marine and the build
ing of ships which shall carry the
American flag and be owned and con-
trolled by Americans and American
capital; the building and completion
as soon as is possible of the isthmian
canal; the construction OF cable
owned by the government connecting
our mainland with Hawaii and the
Philippines; the use of conciliatory
methods of arbitration in all disputes
with foreign nations SO as to avoid
armed strife.
1t is not expected that President
Roosevelt's accession to the presi-
dency will be followed by any i'm
mediate changes in the cabinet, or by
any changes in public policy. The
time is short to the December session
of Congress, and it is not believed
there is any emergency in sight that
will lead the President to call an ex-
ira session of Congress.

President Roosevelt.

By the irresistible current of events,
Theodore Roosevelt has been swept
into the Presidents chair. We believe
he will make good President. The
only fear expressed is that he will be
less conservative, more aggressive
than President Mckinley, but we be-
lieve there is little to fear on this
score. The great responsibilities of
this high Office have in the past
seemed to exert a subduing influence
on the men who have filed it. The
most radical men have developed a
conservatism and sobriety unex-
pected of them; they have risen to
the dignity of the office.
President Roosevelt will, we have
no doubt, be no exception to this
rule. Moreover, he has already DEM

Death of President mckinley


William Mckinley, the twenty fifth
President of the United States, died at
els o'clock last Saturday morning, a
little over week after he was struck
down by an assassin's bullet. The
suddenness of his death after the
physicians bulletins for a week had
been most encouraging, and just after
he had been declared practically out
of danger, came with a shock that
could not have been greater If death
had Immediately followed the bullet.
The sfot of the assassin brought the
President closer to the hearts of the
American people; William Mckinley,
the admired President, became Will
liam Mckinley, the beloved, and the
national grief is the keener because
of the week of anxiety and hope.
But while our sorrow is deep, and
we cannot but feel that President
McKinley's life was cut off at an un-
timely moment in the prime of its
usefulness, could we, on second
thought, imagine for him more COM
plete life? He had attained the high
est, the most honored place, within
the reach of man in this or any other
country. Through the stress of for
eign war and the complications in our
foreign relations which followed, he
had guided the country safely and
with rare Judgment, and sufficient
time had elapsed to vindicate his
course throughout these trying times.
He set standard for future admins
trations.
Scion, the wise Athenian law giver,
when asked by Cresus whom of all
men he deemed the happiest, named
Cleohns and Bito, the Argive youths,
victors at games in honor of Juno,
whose mother besought the goddess
to bestow on her sons, at the height
of their glory, the highest blessing to
which mortals can attain. Sand they
fell asleep within the temple, and SO
passed from earth.'
William Mckinley received the
boon which the goddess granted to
the Argive youths. When men
crowded thickest to do him honor,
4'he fell asleep within the templen-
the temple which he occupied in the
hearts of the American people.
And then those last words of the
dying President: Goodbye, all;
goodbye. 1t is Gods way; His will,
not ours, be done"
Who can say William McKinley's
life was not complete?

much of that rich pudding for dinner,
and it, or something else, has brought
on a severe headache. I am going to
lie down.
A few moments later the mistress,
from her room at the head of the
stairs, heard Mary say to two arlsto-
cratic ladies who called for the first
time:

Pasteurization and Butter.


Experiments on the effects Of pas
teurization of cream and milk in but
ter-making made in April and May at
the New Jersey station are summar-
ized as follows:
There was less loss of fat in the
skim-milk from pasteurizing the whole
milk before separating.
There was less volume Of cream from
pasteurized milk, but the cream was
richer.
By using a etarter after cooling there
was no difficulty in ripening the cream
from pasteurized milk.
The pasteurized cream churned in
less time than the raw cream.
The yield of butter per 1000 pounds
of milk was O.89 pound greater from
the unpasteuriZed milk
All the trials indicated that butter
from pasteuriZed milk had better
keeping qualities, although when first
made there was little or no difference
in the quality.
Pasteurized skim milk kept sweet
twentyfour to forty-eight hours longer
than the skim-milk from the separator
where the whole milk was not heated
to 1cO degrees.-Professor G. 3. Lane.

Sheets For Large Beds.

Sheets for double beds should be
three yards long before hemming. This
allows for a three-inch hem at the top,
one-half the width at the bottom, and
leaves the sheets a little more than
two and three-quarter yards long after
shrinkage in washing. A sheet large
enough to tuck under and stay where
it is put is the only kind sure to be a
comfort to the user The thrifty Eng
lish fashion Of covering the ends Of
comfortables with a width Of thin
muslin, or cheese cloth which can be
removed and washed whenever soiled,
is one that commends itself to all
housekeepers. The untoward tendency
of light-colored comforts to show soil
ing where they are tucked under the
neck of the sleeper is in this way obvi-
ated.-Washington Star.

poultrv Fattening as a Business.

In Surrey, England, there is a great
poultry fatting establishment, winch
annually sends about 10000 fowls to
London. Few or none of these are
raised on the premises, but by the cot
tagers and farmers Of the surrounding
country. The fowls after being bought
are shut up in small coops and fed for
two or three weeks. Many OF them
are crammed, machine being used
for this purpose which forces the soft
food through a rubber tube into the
fowls crop. There are no such estab-
lishments as this in this country, nor
is poultry fatting done with such skill
and carried as far as in England and
France.-American Agriculturist.

Concerning the Parlor.

The arrangement OF parlor has al
ways seemed to me to involve Ques-
tions having a certain ethical value,
means a place in which mans rela-
tions with his fellows may be carried
on, those relations in which all sug-
gestion of business or OF a professional
character are for the time being
dropped. Thus you not only want to
provide a seat for the neighbor who
drops in to see you, but you want to
want to refresh his eye with agreeable
objects as he sits there, shielding it
from glaring lights, and so arranging
your other belongings that his vision.
tempted to roam while he waits, does
not come plump upon some ugly object
in another room. You must never, by
the way, forget the end Of the visual
architects study it, and the mistress Of
the household never loses sight Of it.
Chairs and sofas and tables should be
pulled about, tried in one place and
then in another, until the desideratum
is reached.
AS your possessions increase, too.
you must be ready to move things
again, even those which until that mo-
ment have always seemed to you Eek
actly right" The coming Of a new
picture into an apartment sometimes
means the entire Encouragement of all
the rooms, since everything else may
be thrown out of key. But if your
picture be worth anything, it is cer-
tainly worth the trouble you may
have to take in bringing the rest Of
your belongings into right relations
with it. No one, however, who loves
good pictures is unwilling to do this
