BARBARIC IDEALS.
The Spirit of Conflict That Is EncOur-
aged in Literature and
Athletics.

Literature, journalism and art have
all been aiding in this process of re-
barbarization. For a long time, says
Herbert Spencer's Facts and Comments
there have fourished novel writer's
who have rung the changes on narra-
tives of crime and stories of sanguin-
airy deeds. Others have been supply
ing boys and youths with tales full of
plotting and fighting and bloodshed,
millions of such having of late years
been circulated. AS indicating most
clearly the state of national feeling,
we have the immense popularity of
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, in whose writ
ings one-tenth of nominal Christian
ity is Joined with nine-tenths of real
paganism; who idealizes the soldier
and glories in the triumphs of brute
force, and who in depicting school life
brings to the front the barbarizing
activities and feelings and shows little
respect for civilizing culture.
More and more the spirit of conflict
has been exercised by athletic games,
interest in which has been actively
fostered, first by the weekly press and
now by the daily press, and with in
crease of the honors given to physical
prowess there has been decrease OF
the honors given to mental powers,
Meanwhile literature and art have
been aiding. Books treating of bat.
ties, conquests and the men who con
Quoted them have been widely diffused
and greedily read. Periodicals full
of stories made interesting by killing
with accompanying illustrations, have
every month ministered to the love o.
destruction, as have, too, the weekly
illustrated journals. In all places and
in all ways there has been going OF
during the past so years a recrud
essence of barabaric ambitions, ideas
and sentiments, and an increasing cul
ture of bloodthirst.

Grading Hogs for Shipment.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in grading hogs for shipment. Uni
formity of size and quality is neces-
sary to secure the best prices; few
fabby, half-fnished animals will
sometimes result in the entire load
selling for several cents per hundred
pounds less than it would if every ami
NAL were uniform. This in the aggre-
gate amounts to a sum considerably
in excess of the value of the poorly
finished hogs in the load. 1t iS better
to ship load three or four short and
have an even lot than to send in the
full number and have the uniformity
broken by three or four culls, which
nearly always take position on the
outside of the bunch for the inspec'
ton of the buyer.--Midland Farmer.

RR. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medi-
- cal Examiner of the U. S. Treas
ury department, graduate of Column
bia College, and who served three years
at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"ALow me to express my gratitude 10
you for the benefit derived from your
wonderful remedy One short month
has brought forth a vast change and !
now consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow snf-
frers, Pernna viii cure you.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh
disappears. Then catarrh is perma-
nently cured.

soIicltude nllsdlrected.

In a London safe deposit vault re-
Gently the renter of a safe, anxious
for the spiritual welfare of one of
the janitors, said, while they were
in the vault together: Are you pre-
pared to die?" For answer the jani-
tor instantly pinned the questioner
to the wall by the throat. Assistance
arrived and the unfortunate renter
was carried out, half "throttled." Elk
plantations ensued and it was then
discovered that an inquiry after his
spiritual welfare had been construed
by the janitor as the preliminary to
murderous attack.

A DRILLING DEVICE.
Tool That VIII often Save a Trip to
the Blacksmith shop When
Time Il Valuable.

Take a broom handle, or any sound
round stick three feet long. Bore a
one-quarter inch hole at one end and
one and one-half inches deep, and rip
for the same distance as shown at A;
taper off the ends, B, and slip on an
iron ring to draw ends together as in a
churck. From a strong heavy board
cut circle, D, 10 inches in diameter,
and in its center bore hole to fit tight
upon x for fly wheel. Take tough
inch board 10 or IA inches long and
shape as E, rounded off at F F for
hands, cut hole to slide loosely, K.
Woodville Republican. (Woodville, Miss.) 185?-current, 1902-07-19

Fasten a strong string or leather
strap to E at G G and let it run over
K at top; keep it in place by driving a
staple over it or drill hole through
the top. Insert drill or three-cor-
nered file, sharpened to make any
sized holes desired, and the tool is
ready for use. Hold it upright, and
after starting the wheel take hold OF
the handle and move it rapidly up and
down. Don't let it go too high. Start
hole with center punch. This is a
cheap, practical tool, and great time
saver; it will often save trip to the
blacksmith shop when time is an OBJ

The Gray Afrlean Goose.

Gray African geese are, by many
raisers, considered the most profit
able of all geese to keep. They grow
the heaviest in the shortest space OF
time, and are ready for market in ten
weeks, weighing at that age between
eight and ten pounds, They are very
much like the Pelxin duck in this re,
spect, and, compared with other
geese, give the most satisfactory 70

TUNNEL BILLS VETOED.
Governor 0dell Suggests Extra Session to
Handle Question.

ALBANY. n. Y, April 18.-Governor
Odeil has vetoed AssembIyman Bedell's
Eew York Central Park Avenue tunnel
terminal extension bill. and Assemblyman
Apgar's bill, providing the motive power
used to operate cars in the tunnel shall
be changed from steam to electricity
While the Bedell terminal bill affected
cities of the first class, It was aimed to
permit an enlargement of the Grand Cen
trail Station facilities in New York city.
In his veto the Governor suggests an ex-
ira session of the Legislature to pass new
legislation on the tunnel terminal ques-
tion. but the extra session. IL desired,
could not be held until the Governors
return from his California trip on May 23
The bills vetoed were drafted as a re-
suit of agitation in New York city for
remedy for the present congested Park
Avenue tunnel traffic. to which congestion
the late disastrous collision was primarily
due. but the Governor found many consti-
tutional and other objections to the bills

PHILIPPINES BILL
TAKEN UP In SENATE
Read by Paragraphs and Or
dered Printed.
All of the Committee Amendments
Adopted-Substitute for En-
tire Bill Offered.

The bill to provide a temporary govern
ment for the Philippine Islands was taken
up in the Senate yesterday afternoon as
the unfinished business.
It was read by paragraphs for amend
ment, and the reading was not concluded
until 4 o'clock.
All the committee amendments were
adopted. with the understanding that they
shall be open to further action, and the
bill, with these amendments, was ordered
to be printed.
Mr. Rawlins (Dem., Utah, a member of
the Philippines Committee. offered amend
ments for the sections providing for the
organization of the Philippine government
and the judiciary. and for the section as
to public lands. They were ordered to be
printed.
Senator Carmack offered two amend
ments to the bill after its reading. One
provides that sit shall be unlawful for
any company or corporation to hold per-
sons in slavery or involuntary servitude'
in the archipelago. or to employ any per-
son held in slavery. Any company which
shall evade this law shall forfeit its char
ter and be subject to fine not exceeding
SO. 1000.
Another amendment was to the effect
that the United States does not contem-
plate the admission of the Philippines into
the Union as a State or Territory. and
that the admission of the Filipinos to
citizenship would destroy the integrity Of
the citizenship of the United States.
The encouragement of belief that the
Philippines may some time become a
State or Territory by any officer of the
Government is condemned.
The Democratic substitute for the Lodge
bill was also read.
The substitute provides for the assem-
bling of a convention of Filipinos to form
constitution and organize a govern
ment, and directs that within sixty days
from the election of officers under such
constitution the armed forces of the
United States shall be withdrawn as
speedily as may be.
