CANE SYRUP MAKING.

About year ago Prof. II. w. Wiley,
chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of
the Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, made a personal investi-
cation of the manufacture of table
syrup from sugar cane in South Geor-
gia. His observations, conclusions and
recommendation are embodied in Bull
letin No. 90. Bureau of Chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. just issued. The bulletin, which
is for free distribution to those inter-
ested upon application to the depart
ment, is a valuable publication and
should find it's way into the hands of
large number of Georgia and Florida
farmers. 1t will materially aid those
who are engaged in syrup making to
improve their product, and those who
contemplate going into the business to
secure good results without the neces-
sity of making costly experiments.
The bulletin is illustrated with half
tone pictures made from photographs
of cane fields, cane mills and several
typical boiling plants. When one con-
siders the primitive means employed
in this section in the making of syrup,
ii is remarkable to note the excellent
quality Of the syrup produced. 1t
needs only a glance at the pictures of
the boiling plants in the bulletin to
give one an understanding idea of why
it is not possible to secure uniformity
of products. The wonder, indeed, is
that the syrup makers are able to do
as well as they have been doing for
several years and give a limited num-
Der of consumers so delightful and
wholesome an article of food. Neither
the average grinding mills nor the ket-
ties in use now are economical. The
mills do not extract all of the Juice
great Improvement in the boiling APP
paratus. With the improvements sug-
gested by Prof. Wiley in these and
other particulars, the yield of syrup
per acre of cane could be enlarged and
a higher and more uniform grade of
syrup produced.
The bulletin discusses soil, climate,
fertilizing. the markets, manufacture
ing, preparing for market, the analy-
SEES of sugar canes, and other similar
matters. 1t also shows in detail how
to construct a model factory at rea-
sonable cost. and discusses a number
of minor problems connected with this
industry, now becoming important in
this section.

a New wit and Fresh Joke.

The House of Representatives has ac-
quired new member who in due time
may rival the Senate's galaxy of cpl
grammatic stars, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York Tri-
bune. The new wag, Judge Gordon
Russell, who succeeds the late r. c,
De Graffenreid from Texas, made him
self solid with the cloak-room by the
following little anecdote OF his prede-
cessor. Russell and De Graffenreid at
one time stumped their district, and
waged a conflict on the platform and
in open air meetings. Finally, as a
star argument, De Graffenreid read an
extract from speech by Camp Clark
praising the formers services in the
House. This was a trump card for
Camp Clark was exceedingly popular.
Judge Russell. nothing daunted. made
his answer by picking up a weekly
paper. Gentlemen" he said, 81 pro-

idea. But it is not so. Mark Twains

Hard Chase After an Office.

Judge Morrow. of the Federal bench
on the Pacific coast, tells this story:
"A consulship vacancy occurred in one
of the group of islands of the South
Pacific. / commended friend for the
vacancy; he was appointed, and, as it
was imperative he should reach his
post at the earliest possible day. he
sailed from San Francisco with the
understanding that his commission
should follow him, and that he should
take the oath of office before a local
magistrate after he had arrived. Well,
the new consul sailed, and it was six
months before the State Department
heard from him. He reported there
was no local magistrate, and inquired
of the Secretary If he could not take
the necessary oath before the King.
The Secretary wrote him in the af-
firmative, and it was several months
later when another letter came, this
time by sailing snip, after going around
the world. 1t contained the graphic in
formation that the aforesaid King had
in the meantime gone to an adjoining
island and taken to the brush. Should
the consul follow him? Again he was
given an affirmative answer. The ar
chives of the State Department will
show that he eventually located this
South Sea island King in the brush.
was sworn in. and, after the lapse of
nearly two years from the date of his
appointment, was fully qualified to en-

How scott Found a Word.

Here is a funny little story of how
Sir Walter Scott found a word which
supposedly never has been printed be-
fore, says the New York Press. The
Scotch woman who tells it says she
had it from her father-in-law. One
day, as little boy, he was watching
some. building work that was going on
near Abbotsford, when suddenly there
appeared upon the scene a lame man,
bareheaded and with pen behind his
ear. The men who were working sur
Veyed the newcomer with some sur
prise, which increased when he walked
over to pail standing near by and
deftly turned it bottom side up.
Now" he said, turning to the la
borer whist am 1 doing with this
pail?"
''Whambling it over" answered one
of them quickly.
Thank you, thank you, my man;
that's the very word I've been trying
to get all the morning" Sir Walter
cried and without another word, but
smiling blandly, he limped off in the
direction of his study.

Galveston dispatch says half Of
the cotton oil mills in Texas have
closed down for the season and that
most of the others will close this week.
This is six to eight weeks in advance
of the usual closing time. Scarcity of
cotton seed Is given as the reason for
the early ending of the season. There
was shortage of the corn crop and
farmers are generally holding back a
lot of their cotton seed to be fed to
stock. The cotton seed crop marketed,
it is said, will fall far short of the
average.

HE DOESN'T WANT THE JOB.

There seem to be a great many peo-
| pie who think Senator Hanna is go
ing to be a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for President. Every
once in awhile he is given an oppor-
tunity to deny that he is a candidate
or that he intends to be.
He was given such an opportunity
this week. 1t seems that Gen. Louis
T. Kitchener. now of Washington, d.
c., but at one time a noted Indiana
politician, recently sent letters to
twenty-five prominent Republicans of
Indiana, asking them whether Senator
Hanna could carry that state against
Senator Fairbanks or President Roose-
welt In other words, he wanted to
know what chance Senator Hanna had
of getting the state. The information
he received was that if Senator Fair
banks were out of the way, and there
is no doubt that he is, the fight be-
tween Senator Hanna and President
Roosevelt for the state would be
fierce one, with the result in doubt.
Senator Hanna was in New York on
Monday attending the meeting of a de-
partment of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, and was asked about this
Kitchener letter. He said that Kitchener
was a chump, and that as for the
presidency he did not want the job.
There is no reason to doubt Senator
Hannas sincerity. He is an able man.
That is admitted, but he hasn't the
popularity necessary to become Presi-
dent, and it is probable that he, feels
that if he could get the nomination he
could not be elected.
If he wanted the nomination ii is
probable that he could come pretty
near getting it. He is a much better
politician than the President, and he
would have all of the great corpora
ton interests behind him. What is
called the money power regards him
as safe man. But what good would
it do him to get the nomination? The
country wouldn't have him. 1t is
doubtful if the trusts could raise
enough money to elect him, even if
they divided the purchasable voters
into blocks of five and distributed 81
bills among them.
AS a matter of fact, Senator Hanna
will have his hands full to get back
to the Senate. He knows this, and,
hence, he says he doesn't want the
presidential job. He is a power where
he is, and he viii try to stay there.

Representative Tayler of Ohio says
he is going to make a fight In the
House for a national uniform divorce
law. He believes it is impossible to
secure uniformity of legislation on the
subject in the states, hence he will en-
deavor to pave the way for an amend
ment to the federal constitution en-
towering Congress to pass a marriage
and divorce law applicable to every
state. Divorces, as they go at present,
not only scandalize the country, but
are menace to society; the question
of regulating them, therefore. becomes
a national rather than a state affair.
according to Mr.. Tayler. Nevertheless
the gentleman is going to find that the
states will cling tenaciously to their
rights in the premises.

The Postmaster General has a scheme
for placing letter boxes on the sides of
street cars. He believes it would prove
a great convenience to the letter
writing public to have each car made
a mail carrier. Persons with letters
to post would need only to stick them
through the slot in the side of the
street car. There would be no need for
sending them to the post office or
several blocks probably to a street
letter box. 1t is believed, Furthermore,
that the scheme would greatly
facilitate the work of the mail
collectors and in many instances give
greater expedition to the forwarding of
mail matter. But the street car mail
box is not to be introduced without
a fight. The innovation must be au
thorized by Congress, and it is there
the fight will be made. The labor I'M
ions do not want the street cars to
carry letters. They desire that when
ever there is a strike of street car
employees the strikers shall have the
privilege of attacking the cars with
out making themselves liable to prose-
cution for interfering with the United
States mails. Representatives of labor
organizations are already writing to
Representatives and Senators urging
hitting the mailing of letter on street
cars. And the Representatives and
Senators will do it.
