Senators are not to be moved by argu-
ment in the consideration of question
of this character. 1t is simply case
of one section and one element against
another. The southern cotton-grower
and the Texas cattle raiser and the
wage Garner are in the main opposed
to the farmer.
Texas Man Won't Be Convinced.
You might talk until the crack of
doom to Senator Bailey, of Texas, in
support of the oleo bill and he would
still be against it, because his people
are opposed to the bill and he will
| fight for their interests as long as
| long as there is any fighting ground.
In certain sections senators represent
elements favoring and opposing the bill.
| In these cases the senators will weigh
the relative political strength of the
elements involved and then cast vote
upon the side that weighs heaviest.
The debate upon the oleo bill will
! be vigorous and exhaustive. No one
can begin to forecast when vote will
be taken; some senators may talk a
week upon the proposition. 1t is eX
pected that Bailey of Texas will man,
age to inject the constitutional feature
into the discussion and will undoubt

THE sALT Of THE EARTH.

Journal of the American Medical Asso-
cIaion.
The press cables report that Doc
tor Koulapye Of St Petersburg re-
moved the heart from child who
had died twenty-four hours before
and by the use ola certain salt solu-
ton made it beat with normal reg
ularity for one hour. The statement
if confirmed, is OF great interest.
The use of massage, dlepuncture
or stimulation by electricity or al
cohol have started hearts that had
ceased to beat and prolonged life
for some hours, and even carried
the patients beyond the crisis to
safety. but this new achievement is
step in advance. Salt seems to
be concerned in somevery vital pro-
cesses. 1t has been urged that its over
use causes cancer and evidence APP
pears to favor the contention Not
long since it was reported that by
means OF salt solution in which
Chord Of sodium figured prominent
ly oya could be developed without the
necessity OF any male element enter
ing in the process. In view of the
trend Of events, it is certainly a
matter for congratulation that the
distribution Of salt on the earth is
not such as to lend itself kindly to
the grasp of a monopoly, so that,
when salt becomes the most potent
of earth's forces, it still may be had
by all people Perhaps in the future
we may appreciate why three
fourths of the earth's surface is oc-
cupied by salt alter.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
One copy of the Sunday Post will
furnish more warmth than an over
coat. Several sheets of paper, PIN
ned to the inside of a mans or boys
vest, before putting it on, and an
other part of several thicknesses
worn under the vest when going out
into the cold, will take the place of
an evercoat to the poor man who
has none, and will furnish as much
warmth
Many poor families have not bed
clothing enough in winter to pro-
tect them from cold duringextreme-
ly cold nights. Such families can
make themselves perfectly comfort
able by spreading three or four
newspapers between the scant bed
clothing they have. They will be
agreeably surprised to find that the
papers are equal to the heaviest
blanket in excluding the cold. If
people generally understood the
merits of this simple remedy, and
practiced it, there would be less
sickness and fewer cases of con-
sumption.

While the exigencies of our practical
American life will still demand the
erection of large office buildings, the
rate of production is likely to decrease
rather than increase. The mania for

ton of corporate eminence, and the

business, should collect untold deer In
his park. fattcn them up and then say
10 his puppies: Here. boys. I've had
hard life catching these deer, and l
mean to see you enjoy yourselves. I'm
SO used to racing through the woods
and hunting that cannot get out OF
the habit. but you boys just pile into
the park and help yourselves" Such
n decrhound as that would he scorned
by every human father The human
father would say to such a dog: "Mr.
Hound. you are simply running these

else Will give them mango and seven
teen other troubles, and if dlstemper
doesn't kill them they will be knock

IMPURITIES IN COAL
Value OF the Fuel Whom Converte
Into Binst Furnace Cake

value of the Fuel Whom Converted
Into ninst Furnace Coke.
The purpose of washing coal is to
free 1t as nearly as practicable of all
matter that reduces its heating Gu
pacity or has detrimental effect upon
the metal produced with such coal or
with coke made from such coal.
The impurities in coal are of two
kinds. such as are chemically passive,
but which do not produce heat, but, on
the contrary, absorb heat and clog the
openings in the CRATES by forming
ashes and clinkers. They must be re-
peatedly handled, shipped and freight
paid for them, and are a burden all
around.
The other kinds of impurities are
chiefly iron pyrites. an ore compound
OF iron and sulphur, containing as
much as 50 per cent of the latter ele-
ment There occurs also frequently
some PHOSPHORUS, which remains I'm
the ashes. The sulphur and phosphor-
Gus are both injurious to the quality
of iron produced I'm blast furnace,
and for this reason it is very important
shall be as free from those two ele-
ments as possible. The PHOSPHORUS
occurs in the ash producing matter and
remains there unless it is given an op-
portunity to chemically combine with
iron, lime or other matter for which II
has an affinity.
The value of furnace coke Is based,
apart from general commercial rea-
sons, upon its degree OF purity from
ashes. sulphur and PHOSPHORUS.
The ashes entering blast furnace
with the coke, cannot be disposed OF
as under ordinary conditions, as, for in
stance, when fuel is burned upon
CRATES, but it must be melted and thus
converted into Stag. But the heat I'm
blast furnace is not sufficiently intense
to melt the ashes, except If some other
element is added TO the charge which
melts readily and has the property of
inducing the ashes TO melt also. Such
elements are in metallurgy called fux;
one OF the most efficient and cheapest
Is limestone, and this is used for con-
verting not only ashes. but also all
nonmetallic matter contained in the
iron ore into a liquid Stag. But apart
from the quantity of fux required to
liQuify the earthly ingredients OF ore,
it takes two pounds Of limestone for
every pound of ashes brought into the
furnace. III, in accord with this, we
consider the amount OF ashes charged
into furnace consuming say 800 tons
OF coke per day. and which coke con-
tains say 10 per cent OF ashes, then we
find that the ashes charged amounts
TO thirty tons and the limestone con-
sumed In melting the ashes is sixty
tons. Now, assuming that the cost of
this be 81 per ton, comprising quarry
ing, loading, shipping. unloading and
charging into the furnace, there is a
daily expenditure OF $50, which is in
round figures $4,000 per year, and
represents 8 per cent interest on n cap
ital of $4,000. For this and the other
reasons the price paid for furnace coke
is based upon it's greater or lesser free
dom from impurities, which is ascer-
tanned by chemical analysis = Mines
and Minerals.

oniurn Cur.e In China

The statement that a German firm
has offered the Chinese government
$15,00O,000 annually for the exclusive
rights TO sell opium throughout the
empire is significant for the evidence
1t affords of the hold which the opium
curse has upon the Chinese people. 1t
Is quite as consistent for the Germans
to secure monopoly of this misera BILE
stuff in the future as it was for Eng
land to force it upon China In the first
place. but I'm neither case is the trans
action creditable to professedly
Christian nation, says Leslie's Weekly.
The use of S15.000,O0O worth of opium
per year will 20 far toward offsetting
all the good that all the missionary
forces OF other nations can do in Chi
ma, and the fact that traffic in the
drug of such dimensions can be car
ried on successfully is not a hopeful
augury for the future OF the Celestial

POVERTY AND RICHES.
Each Condition Has It's Advantages
and It's Drawbacks.


and It's Drawbacks.
Poverty has its good points. In the
first place, ii Is an incentive to work.
A man can read that Labor. all labor,
Is noble and holy" without feeling any
desire to leave his hammock. He can
peruse all the volumes ever written
about the blessing OF work without be-
Ing impelled TO move from his easy
chair before the library fire. It's the
empty dinner pail and the yawning
coal scuttle that inclte to activity.
Poverty Is not crime; but, then,
neither is 1t anything OF which to be
proud, although we hear 1t boosted of
so often that we are In danger OF for
getting that poverty Ia not the badge
OF honesty any more than wealth is
the seal OF corruption.
Poverty Is sometimes blessing,
since 1t enables n man to tell who his
friends are. 1t is also n blessing be-
cause IL serves to make wealth en-
durable to those who possess it. Where
would be the fun for rich people In
making a splurge. IL they hadn't any
poorer friends to watch the show?
What should we do with our old ball
gowns If we hadn't any poor relations
who never go to balls? How else
could we secure the ten dollar glow
that comes as the result of five cents
worth OF charity IL We had not the
poor always with US?
Poverty Is never monotonous. The
man who does not know where his
next meal is to come from may suffer
the pangs of hunger, but he will not
be victim to ennui And of the two
hunger is to be chosen.
Above all else poverty is interesting.
There is certain sameness about
wealth, but poverty is never twice
alike. One day you go without butter,
the next you have butter ON your
bread, but no sugar In your tea or
maybe you have the sugar and no tea
to put 1t in.
OF course poverty has its drawbacks.
The poor man hasn't as much time as
the rich one In which to make love to
his neighbours wife, nor do the married
couples among the poor find it easy to
secure leisure In which to learn that
their tempers are Incompatible. 1t may
occur to them sometimes that the do
nestle machinery doesn't run as
smoothly as 1T might, but they are too
busy to take it to pieces to see where
the trouble lies, so they just pour on u
little OF the oil OF forbearance and let
1T go at that; consequently their lives
are apt to lack the eclat furnished by
divorce.
The rich, on the other hand, have
plenty OF time to watch the wheels
go round" and the minute there's any
thing wrong with the mechanism of
their domestic happiness they straight
way set to work TO get at the why and
the wherefore. But, as every one who
has experimental with clocks knows,
1t Is easier to take n machine apart
than 1t Is to get it together again.
After all is said 1t remains that poy-
erty is neither crime nor q credit,
neither a curse nor an unmitlgated
blessing, while wealth, on the other
hand, is monotonous but convenient
and enervating but pieasant--Ina Bre- |
