The combination to control the dis
tribution of meat, known as the beet
trust, cannot be attributed to the in
fiuence of protective tariff, since i'm
portation of beef has not been restrict
ed by the tariff. On the other hand,
the United States is the greatest
exporter of beef in the world, and i'm
ports none. If any agency has pro-
NOTED the beef trust it is the rebates
in rates paid by the railroads, which
they are now enjoIned from making.

One of the most prosperous indus

of horse meat as food is repulsive to
most Americans, yet the practice of
eating the flesh of mans dumb friend

cred in Oregon are of the "scrub" va
riety, which are of little use for work.

mand and higher prices for horses dur

No plan for handling the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill in the senate has been
agreed upon. The bill is now before
the committee on relations with Cuba.
Senator Platt, chairman of that COM
mittee, is one of the pioneers of this
Cuban policy. He is the author OF the
Platt amendment appended to the
Cuban constitution, defining relations
which practically give this government
a protectorate over Cuba. he is one
of the most influential men in the SEN
ate, and his influence is felt on both
sides of the chamber because of the
confidence all have in his judgment on
constitutional questions.

Tho Poor Mans Apple.

Prof. e. S. Goff in a communication
to the Wisconsin Horticulturist, says:
I'VE Wisconsin people have been very
free to denounce the Ben Davis apple
because of it's lack of good quality, and
yet what would we have done this sea-
son without the Ben Davis? Probably
three-fourths of the apples that have
came to the Madison market since No
vember have been of this variety; and
only this variety has been sold at a
price that a poor man could afford to
pay. And with the exception Of very
few apples of other varieties that have
sold at the rate of above seven dollars
per barrel, have been able to find no
apples good OF their kind except the
stigmatized Ben Davis. There is an
old proverb-"Speak well of the bridge
that carries you safely over''-that will
apply pretty well here. Whatever may
be said against the Ben Davis it "gets
there" and we can have apples when,
except for it, most of us would have
had to do without. Driven by power
ty to accept this fourth-rate apple, l
have made its acquaintance better than
ever before, and must confess that my
contempt for it has not increased with
familiarity. AT it's best, its quality
will hold its own with most north
western apples. 1t is fine-grained.
tender when ripe, and what flavor it
has is applesh. 1t lacks juice, which
may be the secret of its good keeping.
Its skin Is thinner than in some other
varieties that rank much higher as
dessert apples. 1t is not much given
to scab-and has that prime requisite
of success, good looks. OF course the
Ben Davis is not a Wisconsin apple,
either by birth or adoption. and it new
er can be, but until we can offer some
thing better, why should we condemn
it ?"

There is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half
dollar of the coinage of 1904" said a
Well-known numismatist of New York.
In that year something like 10000 of
the dollars we're coined, but it Is a
singular fact. as is now known, that
not one of them was known to be in
circulation. Yet the most precious of
all American coins are two 1904 dol
lars, which are in well-known collec-
tiOns. They are valued at $4,000 each.
1t has been determined to the salts
faction OF every numismatist that these
two dollars were not coined until 1928,
although they were struck from the
original 1904 die. They were secretly
made-although such a procedure is a
penal offense-for some one high in in
fluence and authority, who desired
them for certain coin collections. 1t
has never been positively ascertained
how the surreptitious work was accom-
plished, but there is no doubt that it
was done.
why the dollar of 1904 was never
seen in circulation after leaving the
mint is one of the unsolved government
mysteries.

Dollars - - -

nearly 100000 were struck. Not one
was ever discovered in circulation. The
Quarter-dollar of 1904 are numerous
enough-so plentiful, in fact, that a
fair specimen can be bought for 50,
and their coinage amounted to 1000
pieces.
"A curious thing has been discovered
regarding the half-dollar of 1905, which
is not rare coin, except in the case
of those possessing the rare curiosity
l speak OF. which increases the value
tenfold. This is that the figure 81 in
1905 has been struck over a ~ showing
that the coin was really one of the I'M
discovered minting of 1904.
What became of the large issue of
1904 half-dollars? No one knows or
ever will know; but it is evident that
all of them were not issued from the
mint, and this belief that there was
some reason for not desiring the coin
to circulate is strengthened by the mint
obliterating the date on what was left
by making 1905 half-dollars of them.
There was no silver dollar issued
from the mint in 1905, yet 321 were
coined, and are in the hands of col
lectors to-day, just as they came from
the die. No dollars were coined by
the government after that until 1886"

than it was during the present month

cultural colleges and several of the de-
nominational colleges worked earnest
ly with the man who had no other edu-
cation than that acquired in the rural
school and that most expensive tnsti-
tuition, the school of experience. A
most faithful lot they were, always on
the alert to learn something. In addi-

the following well-known authorities

swine. Three days were devoted each
to the judging of horses, cattle, sheep
and swine. Excellent material was pro-
vided throughout for the class work.
The college herds of cattle and sheep
furnished abundance of good stock foI
that work, while in addition to the
college swine herds many breeders sent
in excellent animals. 1t was in the
horse work. however, where quality
reigned supreme.

- Wives

A married woman's lot in Japan is
anything but pleasant one, at least
according to occidental ideas. Japan
ese women inherit no fortunes, and in
families including no son one is adopt
ed by the parents of the heir. The
only dowry girl is given for her mar
riage is her dresses, little writing

and other toilet articles, two little
dining tables and a few lacquer plates,

On his marriage a man remains as
free as ever before. He has no fresh
duties to consider. He can do exactly
what he chooses. If he likes he can
spend every evening out of the house.
The women among the poorer classes
are still more to be pitied. A work
man marries a woman when it suits
him, and changes her with as little
fuss as we change our clothes. These
exchanges, or what we call divorces,
take place less frequently in the bet

WAGER ON BABY's FIRST WORDS.
italian Gamblers Risk Their Money on
the Lisp % Princess.

italian Gamblers NiSk Ihetr money on
the Lisp % n Princess.
A spirit of gambling has broken out
in the court of Italy and the courtlers
are laying their wagers recklessly
upon the question as to whether the
young Princess Yolanda will speak
first in English or in Italian. The
princess now has reached the age of
seven months and already has made
sounds which are declared to be
papa" and mamma" The English
nurse declares that she taught the
child to say them, but the Italian
nurse Indignantly denies this, declar-
ing that to her is due the credit; for
if the princess had learned from the
words in English, whereas she says
them in Italian the poor woman not
knowing that papa" and mamma
are the same in all languages.
So as these words are universal 1t
has been decided that they do not de-
eide the wagers as to which will be
the first language to be spoken by lit
tie Yolanda. The betting is even, for
though the English nurse has the child
almost entirely under her care, the
language which she hears spoken
about her all the time is Italian.
Large sums have been wagered and the
decision is awaited with much inter-
est. If Yoianda wants to make her
self popular she had better list her
first words in Italian. There will be
mighty disgust throughout Italy should
she decide in favor of English.
