SHoDDY AND CLEO

Within a few days President Roose' velt has appended his signature to the act imposing a tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine sold as butter or imitation butter in color The 1n- tent of the Jaw is solely to prevent the defrauding of the consumer. 1t does not tax oleomargarine out of existence, as that substance, when sold for what it is. is subjected to but nominal tax. Every argument advanced for the oleo- margarine law will hold good for the passage of the GroSyenOr Shoddy Dill. The latter measure does not pronounce the manufacture of shoddy to be ille- gal or subject it to any onerous tax. The bill merely requires that where fabrics or garments are made of pure wool that has not already been used in some process of manufacture, they shall be labeled or tagged as wool, and where any component of such article is not pure wool, the cloth or garment shall be labeled as mixed goods. A very large proportion of the clothing sold as woolen contains little pure wool, the chief components being shod- dy, or old rags torn to pieces by ma chinery. Shoddy having short staple and having already parted with some of its life by wear, is 8 cheap and in- ferior substitute for the natural wool
 With the. aid of improved machinery the shoddy mills are enabled to pro- duce cloth which initiates wool so as to deceive all but the expert. The con- sumer, tempted by the appearance of the goods. and. perhaps by the price, buys shoddy clothing, and does not de tect the imposture until his garments prove deficient in wearing qualities. Like oleomargarine, shoddy has it's use- fulness. but it should not be permitted to counterfeit the real article. namely. pure wool. The Grosvenor bill, being for the protection of the public against fraud. deserves to meet with prompt and favorable consideration by con- ss.-Philadelphia Ledger.

THE OUTLAW BRoNCHos.

There is, in this part of the world. no lack of familiarity with the bron- cho, but he is the sort of thing one does not lose interest in just because he has long ceased to be a stranger. Buffalo Bills Wild West has choice bunch of selected broncho demons, toe vicious to be worth breaking, even if it were possible to ever break them, and two of them have reputations as killers" At every performance in the arena the cowboys rope, saddle and ride these equine devils. an ami mated proceeding in which nobody can fail to take excited interest The Wild West will be with us soon. and the great military drills of the foreign bodies of soldiers, the battle scenes, the bucking horses, Indian war dances, and all the other we'll known features will be seen. A grand mounted street parade will go over the principal streets of the city here on the morn Ing of the enga cement.

THE TALL CAREYS.

Everybody in san Jose Knows the Carey family and are proud of them as typical California productions. They form the tallest group of men in the state, perhaps in a number of states. If they lived in a smaller country they would be termed giants.
 The combined height of the father and four sons aggregates thirty-one feet, and each of the TOUT sons weighs over POO pounds. The total weight of the five is 1,O55 pounds about half q ton. They are all hearty, fine looking men and as strong as oxen.
 Patrick William Carey is gentle. man who, twenty-six years since, came straight from Ireland, and is proud of the fact AS a boy he was a famous jockey, but, as he says. "'Twas being too tall at last that privinted me from makin' a very rapid forchune. Sure, grew too tall to ride at ali.''
 For sixteen years he lived with his family up in the Black mountains. and then came to San Jose to go into the butcher business. The old gentleman is hale and hearty at 80 years of age, and spend much of his time superin- tending matters out at the slaughter house, about five miles from town.
 Mrs Amelia Carey, the mother of this family of giant voters, is not a small woman, her height being five feet nine inches. She has a daughter, a nurse ID San Francisco hospital. who is only of the average height.
 William Patrick Carau ;c +Ia o15oa+ son, and also the tallest of the boys. lie IS man of family, and has a pleas ant home in San Jose. He towers m 10 height of six feet six and half lnches. A second look always follows nm on the street. Though he weighs 70 pounds, his great height does not g1ve the impression of a heavy man He owns to 39 years.
 me next in order as to age ana nelght IS George ]. Carey, who lives at Faio Alto and is also in the butcher puslness. He has a little bit of a wife lnougn ne measures six feet four inch es: lie Is 36 years of age and weighs 225 pounds.
 Ihen comes Richard Thomas Carey also a married man and not a small one TOT ms height is six feet and three lncnes, ana he tips the scales at o1S pounds. He is 32 years old.
 Last comes the pet of the family John Francis Carey, 29 years old and yer beau. He is a swell when ha aresses his six feet two and. q half lncnes Tn line apparel. He does ncrt Welgh much, only PIP pounds.

POINTS FOR sTENoGRAPHERs.

A shorthand student should realize that "stick-to to-itniveness" is one of the most important essentials not only while studying the principles, but in the matter of practice as well. after the course is completed. Tn his study he should be thorough. analyzing and mastering every rule Each les son should receive unceasing analyt- ical study until every detail is thor oughly understood; and then. in order to make his knowledge doubly certain, more time should be devoted to the study of the lesson. Frequent reviews of all former lessons should be given, so that. when he concludes his course, he will be efficient in every principle of Shorthand. Then comes the real work. Having obtained, a situation he should not lose sight of the fact that his shorthand experience has just begun. Every evening should be de- voted to further perfecting himself by practice. He should take notes from dictation on various subjects until he finds himself competent to report cor- rectly speeches or sermons. If he de- sires to enter the general reporting field, the dictation should be graded accordingly. If he wishes to become court reporter the dictation should be from legal work The meaning of technical terms should be ascertained, and by proper study. he should ac- quire sufficient knowledge of the law to give him an understanding of the matter he will be called upon to re port
 There is no limit to the study re- quired to become an expert reporter. speed in writing is but one essential The greatest qualification is q wide range of information. No matter now many years man devotes to shorthand, there is always possibility of improvement.-Fro an interview with Robert F. Rose, in June "Suc- cess"

SICK FARMERS.

The following remarks of physl- clan were recently published in the Youths Companion. They are true and should be studied by the farming community There is no reason why farmers should not be the healthiest of all people. as theirs is the health jest occupation. Yet, it is fact that many of them, in this country, have to come into town for their fresh fruit and vegetables.
 "A physician who had resided in a small town for nearly a quarter of a century and had accumulated con- petence, was i'll a remrniscenI frame one day, and said to a friend:
 '''It may seem strange to you, but three-fourths of my practice is among the farmers living within a radius of ten miles around this town. 1 have travelled every road and lane in this neighborhood hundreds of times, and know every foot of them. Farmers ought to be the healthiest people alive, but there is somebody sick in their families nearly all of the time. They habitually eat too much. Their sys- tems become clogged, and instead of starving themselves we'll they send for the doctor'
 "'Why don't you tell tnem so?' asked his friend
 {" I used to do so, but it offended them and they dismissed me and sent for some other doctor. So, in many cases, I have given them some mild medicines, and told them they must eat little or nothing for two or three days, in order to give the medicines chance to take effect Town people .overeat. too. mind you, but for reasons easily explained they don't eat as much or as hearty food as 5the farmer and his family do. By the way, Chester he said, turning to his office assistant. who had just come in, didn't Uncle Hank Roughrider. just south of the town kill his hogs two or three days ago?
 " Yes, sir replied Chester.
 I'll have call to attend a case of malaria or, something of the sort in that family from eating too much saus- age and pigs feet inside of 24 hours predicted the physician.
 And even as he spoke Uncle Hank Roughrider drove up to the office, tied his horses to the hitching post and hurriedly came in.

 A young country couple have just come to the conclusion that Paris is no place for honeymoon. On their way to the capitol a bagman cut his own throat in the same compartment. At their hotel the occupant of the next room was crushed to death in an ele- yator
 The wife wanted to leave immediate ly, but was persuaded to remain one day to lunch with q friend. When they reached the house their host opened the door and begged them to excuse him, as he had just discovered that his maid had just drowned herself in the bathtub The young wife tainted. and later insisted on leaving Paris by the first train
