A BLOW AT FLATS.

40 a Menace to Morality.
After an Inspection OF she Homes of

City, Thomas IA. Robertson RE
presses Radical Views.

The fashionable fats in upper New
York tend inevitably to immortality.
The greatest menace to the moral
ity of rich and poor in New York is
that it is city without homes. This
is the result of the five days obserya-
tions made by Thomas M. Robertson,
expert from the United States de-
partment of labor, sent to New York
city from Washington with a commits
sion of six special agents, instructed
to prepare for congress report upon
the conditions of living among New
York working people.
Besides that of New York, reports
are in preparation in Philadelphia,
Newark, Richmond, Norfolk, Cincin-
natl and Chicago.

FREEDOM IN LIBERTY HALL
One woman's Queer Notions of Conn
fort in "a Home Smoking
Room.

family on one of the fashionable
avenues of the city has recently moved
into new house, fitted up regardless
of cost and for the sole purpose of be-
ing comfortable, says the Chicago
Chronicle. An old friend of the head
of the household dropped in on Sun
day to have the midday meal. And
after that was over the hostess re-
marked;
"Now, then, l know you want to
smoke, so just come up to the library
and enjoy yourself"
Arrived there, the guest commented
on the beauty of the room and its ex-
cellent appointments. The wife was
obviously pleased, the husband stood
by assuring the visitor that it was all
due to his better half's exquisite taste
and judgment
YES" she went on, II made up my
mind that this room was to be Liberty
hall. Here the only question was one
of comfort"
The visitor glanced about the big,
roomy chairs, the coy lounge with its
heaps of embroidered cushions, and
finally seated himself in an armchair
near the window.
sit is comfortable" he said.
well, I'm glad you think So" she
answered.; "this is to be our living
room" Suddenly she turned, and hel
voice was troubled, tremulous: "Oh
for goodness sake, George, don't sill on
those cushions!"
And the hapless husband, just about
to find repose amid the downy rich
ness of the multiple cushions, sighe,
softly, crossed over and dropped int,
chair, remarking, meekly:
Light up, old chap, anything goes;
this is Liberty hall, you know"
And then he winked.

turns out something disagreeable
for the administration right
along. Reputable witnesses
have testified that the half has

ties inflicted upon the natives by
men wearing the American uni

is daily increasing, although the

when wealthy John Moore Dies the
Bodies wili BE Crem@tsd
Together.

Fawley Place, the home of John
Moore III, at Quincy, ILL.,, is in mourn
ing over the death of tom Paine"
Moore's pet pug dog. The dog was put
to death with chloroform the other
morning by the veterinary surgeon,
who had been in daily attendance. The
pug dog was the constant companion
of the old man, sleeping in the same
bed with him by night. When taken
sick with distemper week ago, Moore
called in a veterinary, and no expense
was spared in the effort to restore the
canine to health. Moore nursed the
dog as mother would a child and had
not slept any for week. AS soon as
dead, the body was wrapped in white
cloth by Moore and removed TO Under
taker Daugherty's pace, where he left
instructions that the body be en-
balmed and placed in metal casket
and kept until his own death shall oc-
cur, when both bodies shall be placed
in one casket and sent to ST. Louis to
be cremated. Moore. who has gained
some notoriety by his agnostic writ
ings, is man of considerable wealth.

The "Histore d'Oeuvre Franchise"
by Jules Charles Roux, is devoted to
q history of the Suez canal.
From it it appears that navigation
through the canal has steadily in
creased since its completion.
One-half of the vessels passing went
30 India. The saving in distance
amounts on the average to 3sPer cent,
with the line London-Singapore even
As per cent.
The cost of constructing and pre-
serving the canal amounted to 600, 000.-
900 francs from 1859 to the end OF 1899.
The number of passengers during
these 30 years was 4,271,749.
The net tonnage of the vessels pass
ing was 156,oO0,o 900 tons.
In view of the steady increase of the
navies and merchant marine, the com
pany expects a further increase of
traffic.

Iowa Station to Conduct Large Inyes-
tigation Into Value of Stock
FOOdS

A mammoth stock feeding experiment
will be undertaken on the farm of
Albert E.Cook near Odebolt, beginning

value of the different rations and stock
foods. MIR. Cook. who is owner of 1000
acres of land in Sac county, divided
into twenty-three farms, will furnish
800 head of cattle to be divided into
eight lots of forty each, furnishing also
feed sheds, corn and roughage (hay
and astaw) and all help needed to
carry on tne experiment, except head
man, who will be furnished by the ex-
pertinent station. which is carrying on
the work here.
II. j. Kinzer. winner of the first prize

representative of the experiment..
The stock foods will be furnished by
the various manufacturing companies
and will be free of charge to those con-
Quoting the investigation.
Mr.. Cook will also furnish an equal
number of hogs to follow the cattle and
the value of the different foods to the
hogs thus following will also be de-
termined.
Experiments have been made before
in feeling by the station, but always
in small lots Where so made tie test
is regarded as not fair one, as the
matter of individuality is large factor

CANDLEMAS DAY.
Tons Of Candles Were Blessed in the
Different Catholic Churches.

Sunday, Feb. ., was gandlemas day
in the Catholic churches throughout
the universe. Tons of candles were
blessed on that day. On this day are
blessed all the wax candles which are
used throughout the year in the
churches. The origin of the festival
is traced to ancient times. 1t is told
that the Romans we're in the habit of
burning candles on this day to the
goddess Februa, the mother of Mars:
and Pope Sergius, seeing it would be
useless to absolutely prohibit this
heather practlce of so loEg standing,
automatically turned it to Christian
account by having the candles burned
in honor of the Christian Savior and
his blessed mother.
An old document of the time of
Henry Will, preserved in the archives
of the Society of An5iquaries, London,
concerning the rites and ceremonies in
the English church, speaks thus of the
custom of carrying candles: "On
Candlemas daye it shall be declared
that the bearyinge of candles is done
in the memorie of Christie, the spirit
ual lyghte whom Simeon dyd prophecye
as it is redde in the churche that
daye." Simeon spoke of Christ as "a
light to tighten the Gentiles.
Monday, Feb. 3 was ST. Biaslus days.
feast day. day following Candlemas
day. St. Biasius lEa= martyr, as we'll
as saint. He was bishop of Sebasta,
in Cappadoaia, when Lcinius began a
bloody persecution of the Christians.
Biasius left the town and concealed
himself in an unknown chasm in the
rocks, but his abode was discovered
The saint was conveyed to Sebasta,
and as he steadfastly refused to deny
Christ and worship the heather gods
he was put to death. This was 3l6 A.
D. The practice of invoking St.
Biasius for the protection of throats
is said to have originated in the cir.
cumstance that when he was a young
man he saved the only son OF a rich
widow from being choked by afishbone,
and because throughout his holy life
he showed himself TO be especially
helpful in diseases of the throat.
