creased In Germany-tor making alco-
hol and feeding cattle, for instance
attention to them, and anything bear
ing on their growth and handling Is
considered Of the first Importance. One
evidence of this is the recent offer of 4
prize of $1,000 10000 marksl for the
invention of the best method Of drying
them on large scale. As il takes
about three and half tons of fresh po-
tatoes TO make one ton of dried ones
the cost of transportation is materially
reduced 10y the drying; hence the offer
OF the prize.

ORIENTAL LOGIC.

A man bought three pounds of meat,
and brought it home to his wife to cook
for dinner and then went his way to his
place of business i'm the bazars. The wife
was hungry, and ate the meat.
In the evening the man came home and
asked for his dinner.
There is no meat" said the wife, "for
the cat ate it,
Bring the cat" said the man, "and a
pair of scales"
weigh the cat" said the man. The cat
weighed three pounds.
''If this is the cat" said the man,
where is the meat? And IL this is the
meat where is the eat?'-Harper's Maga-

The dismissal Of the charges against
Bishop Talbot VIII please his many
friends in this community and undoubt-
edly promote the ends of justice. From
all accounts the Irvine case was one
of those regrettable episodes which
sometimes arise in connection with
church work and by the publicity
which follows does injury even when
most carefully and cautiously handled.
1t is to be regretted that the verdict of
dismissal was not unanimous. Then
there would have been an end of the
matter.

ognize the Importance of hav-
ng this district suitably represented at
Washington shall go to the primaries
next Tuesday afternoon and vote as
their best judgment prompts.
The sentiment that he is entitled to
this mark of public confidence and ap-
probation, in view of the good work
that he has done in congress and the
efficiency with which he has looked
after the districts interests. is wde-
spread. To be effective, however, it
must have expression at the polls.
The opposition to Mr.. Connell, fos-
tered largely by personal and factional
considerations, and organized in many
instances by men spurred onward by
political dsappointments. is active. 1t
will not fail to register it's full strength
at the voting places. No student Of
human nature needs to be told that
personal motive carries a man further
in political activity than simply a gem
eral sentiment.
But the Importance of insuring the
best interests of the district should ap-
peal strongly to every intelligent Re-
publican voter and determine him to
attend the primaries and vote for the
candidate of his deliberate choice. It
requires very little effort and'its neglect
may be disastrous. More than local in
terests are at stake. Men of Mr.. Con-
nell's ripe experience and trained prac-
tical judgment are needed In congress.
This district needs such congressman
and cannot afford to experiment.

years when the inhabitants of Ven
ezuela will weary of the dictator busi-
ness and discover a statesman like Daz
of Mexico to rule over. them. In the
meantime, the one security that the

ernment is i'm the fact that no tyrant

Judge Taft's handling OF the negotia-
