able to this now condemned product
the familiar saw concerning the stone
which became the head of the corner.

So long as the newspapers of the
northwest and the land boomers con-
tinue to speak of the exceptionally
large yields of grain only and thus
exaggerate the situation-when the
facts are good enough-just SO long
will the elevators and grain buyers
utilize these reports for the purpose
of bearing down the price of wheat
to the injury of the farmers of the
northwest 1t is very natural that the
local press should record the best
side Of crop conditions, but over
booming of crop statistics certainly
results in an annual loss to the farm
ers Of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.

A FEAT OF MEMORY.
Wonderful Accomplishment to Which
the Mind Was Trained.


Some light is thrown on the posi-
bilities of memory culture by an inter
esting recital contained In the auto
biography OF Robert Houdin, the
famous conjurer. He taught his son
to glance at, say, shop window and
to memorize accurately, as in brain
picture, the windows contents. Then
he would ask him to describe the con-
tents, checking and correcting him az
he went on. On one occasion Houdin
was commanded to the Tuileries to
give a performance before the French
court. AS he passed through an ante
room to the salon he babe his son to
note the arrangement Of the rooms
and the contents of the bookcases.
Then at the close of the entertain
ment Houdin astonished his audience
by giving what he called a second
sight" test. Declaring his unfamil-
iarity with the Tuilieries, Houdin,
blindfolding his son, asked him to
send his gaze through the wall of the
room to the chamber beyond, to de-
scribe the arrangement of the cham
Der and to read the titles of the vol
umes on the shelves Of the bookcases.
This feat the young lad accomplished,

LAUNDRY HINTS,

Colored muslins, it is said, should be
ironed with a somewhat cooler iron
than is used for white clothes, as the
too great heat is liable to fade the
cOlOrs.
Provide yourself or your maid cush-
ion to stand on while ironing. 1t can
be made Of an old quilt or pieces of in
grain carpet, but be sure it is thick
enough to be restful.
Shake dannels thoroughly before put
ting them into the tub. BY the way,
flannels should always be kept in q
tub by themselves and washed, rinsetl
and hung out as quickly as possible.
Mourning wash goods are a little diff
hcult to starch nicely. Boil one quart
Of clean wheat bran in three gallons of
water for one hour. While still warm
strain through a cheese cloth and wash
the black muslin or linen in it. Use
neither soap nor starch. Press while
damp.
Clothes are boiled for the same rea.
son that they are soaked-to loosen the
dirt. They should always be put over
in cold water and allowed to come
slowly to a boil. Do not crowd the
boiler too much. A rubbing in the
sudsing water does q good deal to
whiten them.

EMINENT DOCTORS VIEWS.
German Investigator Does Not ne,
'eve Tuoerculosis Dan BE Con-
tracted BDidemieally By Adults.

The Deutschen Medicinische Vochen-
schrift publishes synopsis of lecture
which Prof. Won Behring, of Marburg.
delivered before the German natural
lists congress.
Prof. Won Behring does not believe
that tuberculosis can be inherited or
contracted epidemically by an adult
He asserts, however, that a decisive
factor in the spread of tuberculosis
Is the nourishing of infants with milk
taken from COWS suffering from that
diseAse.
The human infant, like the young
OF all animals, lacks the digestive ap-
paratus and protective organs which
In the case of grown-up persons pre-
vents the germs from entering into the
tissue AS consequence he contends
that young children should be nour-
lshed with milk free from the germs
of tuberculosis.
Prof. Won Behring's efforts ara being
directed toward the substitution Of san
itariums and system of innoculation
for consumption hospitals. He is firm
ly convinced that, like animals, human
beings can be rendered immune by
innoculation with tuberculosis toxin
obtained from cows. The professor.
however, distinctly says that hts ex-
periments to obtain q perfect toxin are
not completed.

A great deal is being said just
now about the approaching mar
rage of Miss May Goelet to the
English duke of Roxburghe. A
wedding is an event which is al
ways heralded with much interest.
Whether it be just a common, or
binary, everyday wedding where
the brides own sister plays the
soft, sweet wedding march, ever
and anon striking the wrong note
and getting confused when she
tries to execute the cross-hand
movement in a subdued accent
during the ceremony, or whether
it be the ultra-fashionable we'd
ding of the most wealthy set
where, in the presence of a vast
and distinguished throng, two
bank accounts are made to beat
as one, or whether it be a great
international wedding like that of
Miss Coelet and the duke of Rox-

Many Funerals Interrupted.

Shrinking from the espionage OF
union pickets and fearful that funeral
parties would be attacked by the
striking livery drivers, many Chicago
families have refrained from publicly
announcing death in their midst.
In the vaults of several undertakers
lie the bodies of persons about whose
death the utmost secrecy is main
tanned, ana whose funerals will be
postponed until the strike is settled
In other cases the stricken relatives
have arranged for evening funerals
and private burials, of which no an.
nouncement was made.
The scenes that attended several
funerals Saturday when union pickets
attempted to interfere with the re-
moval of bodies, led the health depart
ment officials to sanction the secrecy
that is being preserved.
The undertakers have been informed
that unless public safety demands 1t,
turials will not be insisted on until
such a time as funeral parties shall be
safe from molestation.
