BEATING THE .oLEo, LAW.

AT its recent session Congress pass
ed a stringent law directed against
oleomargarine posing as butter. 1t
was the purpose of the bill as passed
to prevent the manufacturers Of oleo
from making their product to assume
the sacred yellow of butter. They
might employ any other color they
pleased, pink, green or brown; but yell
low, never, under severe penalties. To
color oleomargarine yellow was gross
fraud. closely approaching sacrilege.
1t remained, of course, not only lawful
but highly commendable for the but
ter-makers to artificially color their
products so that it would assume the
proper golden hue, but yellow was for
hidden TO the other fellows.
1t SO chances that the great public
demands that the oily, unetuous sub
stance which it spreads upon its bread
shall be yellow in color. If the finest
product of the best creameries were
colored pink the public wouldn't have
it, at two cents a pound, and If it were
a pea green it wouldn't be permitted
to come into the house. Thus the
color has immense commercial value,
and if the oleo manufacturers should
be estopped from exercising the color
ing privilege enjoyed by the butter
makers, their sales would at once drop
almost to nothing. Therefore. ever
since the passing of the law. the cleo.
makers have been figuring on how to
give their product the proper color
without violating the law.
1t falls out that Congress, in its
about the oleo makers, but very little
about the retailers and none about
consumers. And therein lay one of
the opportunities of the prescribed
manufacturers. The manufacturers
are now sending out oleo in its natural
color, in packages to suit all purchas-
ers, from five pounds to 100 pounds;
and with every package sent out there
goes a sufficient quantity of coloring
matter to give the mass the most inn
pressive and seductive golden hue.
Thus the hotel or boarding house or
private family purchasing oleomarga-
rine can do its own coloring, to suit
its especial needs.
The oleo makers. furthermore. have
recently ascertained that oleo is very
much improved by the addition OF a
little palm OIL Now, the natural color

Gen. Andre, the French minister of
war, is the thirty-first man to hold this
office since Sept. 4. 1870 Should he
remain in the cabinet for two months
more he will have surpassed any of his
predecessors in the length of ineuln-
bency, as he has now held the port

is generally admitted by foreign OBJ
servers that the army, and particularly
the form of the military judicial pro-
eedure. has progressed much under his
leadership.
The leaders in the last session of
Congress were mostly men who have
served a number of terms. Senator
Hoar has served twenty-three years;
Plat and Hawley, twenty seven and
twenty-three respectively; Aldrich
twenty-scYen; 'Gallinger. fifteen;~ Alli-
son, thirty seven; Frye and Hall, thir-

A sordid Consideration.

A worthy Ceit some, years ago kept
a small grocery in the Point Breeze
neighborhood, says the Philadelphla
Times. He went out to work as a day
laborer leaving his careful and thrifty
wife to operate the store. AS was the
custom in the netghborhood, nearly all
the customers were given credit from
week to week. payment being made on
the payday of the gas-house, the oil
works, and other Point Breeze enter
prises. The wife fell i'll, and was near
ing her end; and the devoted husband
was at her bedside. She opened. her
eyes YEARLY and said:
Don't forgit, Tim darlint, that Mrs.
Moran owes four ninety and Mrs. Moo
nan five-three."
God bliss you!" replied the husband.
Your mind is sinsible to the last!'
After a time she spoke again.
AN, Tim don't forgit there's eight
dollars owing Mr.. Lafferty."
"Arrah niver moind, Kate!" he
hastily replied. This bez not tn

Calpurina Bristol drew back with
an expression of horror upon her fair
young face. says the Chicago Record
Herald. Her bosom rose and fell like
a tablecloth on a clothesline when
the wind blows, and her delicate, sem

Reginald Briggs saw at once that

face in her hands and trying in vain
to keep back her emotion. GO away.
Do not put me to the test. Oh. heav-
en-! This is terrible!"
Overcome by her emotion, she sat
down upon a rustic bench and sobbed.
The young man bent over her and
said in pleading tones: -
Tell me-teu me, Calpurina-I

"Cease!" she cried, dashing her tears
away and Indignantly facing him.
Never address me again! L supposed

THE NEW FERTILIZER LAW.

Those who have given the subject
careful consideration are of the opin-
Ion that the new fertilizer law which
goes into effect on Aug. l next will
give farmers all the protection they
need against fraudulent fertilizers. For
years there has been complaint in this
state. and doubtless in other states,
that there were fertilizers sold which
were of no benefit TO the purchasers.
How much foundation there has been
for this complaint 1t is of course i'm
possible to say. Doubtless there have
been fertilizers sold which were of
little account. but it doesn't always
follow that when there is a poor crop
the fertilizer used in the making of 1t
was worthless. The weather conditions
may have ruined the. crop or disease
OF some sort may have injured It.
OF course the tendency is to blame the
fertilizer when there is a crop failure,
and no doubt there are cases where
the blame is properly placed on the fer
tlizer, but the law in regard to fer
tilizers is now SO stringent and COM
prehensiYe that it is a safe statement
that it is seldom that a fertilizer is
put upon the market that is of little
or no value.
Under the new law there is a heavy
penalty attached to the placing of a
fertilizer on the market which does not
come up. to the analysis, and in the
event of crop failure the fertilizer
used to make the crop need not be paid
for If it can be shown that it does not
contain the materials it is alleged to
have and in the required proportions.
1t seems therefore that the farmers,
in the matter of fertilizers, have about
all the protection against fraudulent
fertilizers it is possible. to give them.
And in the face of the very stringent
legislation against fraudulent fertilfz-
ers it is doubtful If much practically
worthless goods is placed upon the
market in this state. 1t is probable
that in the past farmers, to some ex-
tent. have been to blame for the in
jury they have suffered in the matter
of fertilizers. Some have demanded
cheap grade of goods, and they got it.
The situation has now been changed
for the better. In future the farmers
will have less reason for complaint. If
they will comply with the law strictly
they will find that it will give them all
the protection they need against worth
less fertilizers.

Michigan is a great beet sugar state.
The Michigan congressman were ep-
posed to reciprocity with Cuba, because
it would hurt the beet sugar interests.
Since the adjournment of Congress,
however, four of the Michigan repre-
sentatives who took a prominent part
in the tight against Cuba have been
defeated for denomination. This be-
gins to look as if the Michigan Repub-
hcans We're in favor of the President
reciprocity policy. Those insurgent
congressman are no doubt greatly sur
prised that the Michigan people should
show such little appreciation of their
efforts in behalf of beet sugar.

system of government, the separation
of church and state, will be enforced
there, as here"

IF President Roosevelt wishes to ap-
point Gen. Wood to another office. why
not? Some are crying out against this
possibility on the ground of Gen.
Woods use of Cuban funds for fur
