Blood POISONING.

Blood poisoning is now recognized as
poisoning by living organism, while
ordinary poisoning is by some chem
ical substance devoid of life, Blood
poisoning took it's name before its ma
ture was properly understood, and it
was thought to be a form Of ordinary
poisoning, but that the blood rather
than the vital principles" was chiefly
attacked.
AS the stomach can. as a rule, de-
stroy the life of most organisms,
while it can only to limited extent
alter the constitution of chemical poi
sons, poisoning by living organisms.
or blood poisoning, is far more com.
mon through wounds than by things
eaten. and thus the idea of its being a
poisoning of the blood was strength.
ened. AS a "blood poison" is alive, it
can, and often does, go on increasing
after its first Indigestion, and the most
Obvious difference between the two is
that blood poisoning generally begins
with slight symptoms, and increas-
es indefinitely, while ordinary poison
ing reaches it's height almost at once.

Present Method Of Caring for Il Best
That Can BE Suggested.


That Can BE Suggested.
The state department made public
the report Of the committee of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences which was
appointed to examine the original Of
the Declaration Of Independence and
communicate with the secretary of
state as to it's present condition The
report says:
"The instrument has suffered very
seriously from the harsh treatment to
which it was exposed in the earlier
years of the republic. folding and roll
ing having creased and broken the
parchment. The wet press copying OPP
| Grafton to which Il was exposed about
/ 1920, for the purpose Of producing a
fac smile COPY, removed a large por-
ton Of the ink Subsequent exposure to
the action Of light for more than thir-
ty years, while the instrument was
placed on exhibition, has resulted in
the fading of the ink particularly Of
the signatures. The present method Of
caring for the instrument seems to be
the best that can be suggested.
"The committee Is pleased 10 find
that no evidence of mould or other
disintegrating agents can be discovered
upon the parchment by microscopic ex-
/ animation or any evidence that dis
| Indignation is now in progress"
The committee suggests that photo
graph be taken Of the document from
time to time to aid in future investi-
cations, The report says further;
"The committee does not consider 1t
wise to apply any chemicals with a
view to restoring the original color of
/ the ink because such application could
/ be but partially successful, as a con
siderable percentage of the original ink
was removed in making the copy about
/ 1920 and also because such applica-
ton might result in serious discolor-
alton of the parchment"
For the last nine years the Declara-
ton has been kept fat in a frame be-
tween two sheets of glass in drawer
of a steel case and seldom exposed to
the light and air, and the committee
concludes its report by saying that
the present method Of protecting the
instrument should be continued: and
that it should be kept in the dark
and as dry as possible and never placed
on exhibition"
The state department in making this
report public, denies that the declara-
ton has ever been on exhibition at any
of the great fairs since the Centennial
Exposition. 1t was returned to the de-
partment of state in 1877, and since
then has never been out Of the de-
partment building, and for more than
a year past has not been on exhibition
even in the department.

where the advantages are greatest
They have finally discovered that this
Minnesota market can give them all
that they can hope for at any other
point and more. They have found
that prices obtained here are as good
or better than elsewhere and that by
dlspoS1ng of their stock here a long
haul with its extra freight charges
and added loss in weight may all be
avoided.
In each successive annual report of
the business of the South st. Paul
market the astonishing growth of the
business has been recounted until it
mas become an old and well-worn
story. But, overWorked as the story
may be, it must be used once more
The year 1902 has been by far the
most successful that South ST. Paul
has enjoyed. Gains have been made
IN receipts that are simply tFemen-
dous, while with but one exception
other marketing points from one end
OF the country to the other show loss
eS all along the line. But two points
in the entire country, South st. Paul
and Sioux City, show a gain in hog
receipts and South st. Paul has a
wide call on Sioux City even in this
item. Eastern receiving points with
out exception, show heavy losses in
hog receipts. Reports sent out attrib-
ute the falling off to a shortage in the
hog crop and there no doubt is a big
shortage. South st. Paul, however,
has not felt it, and but one inference
can be drawn, shippers have come to
recognize the Importance of this mar
ket and to know that prices here are
never worse and often better than
any other point These important
facts are undoubtedly responsible for
the gain in the1 receipts here in spite
of the known shortage in the crop.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-01-01

ana these facts are too, in a more or
less degree, responsible for at least a
part OF the losses at other points.
Whlle the hog receipts have been
most gratifying because of the show
ing at other points it is to the cattle
and sheep receipts that the business
men of South st. Paul point with
pride The gains noted in these two
items over 1901 are almost beyond
comprehension. No other marketing
point in all the wide land. can show
Sucn record. The cattle show a gain
OF more than 100000 head, while the
sheep receipts have almost doubled.
Receipts by cars, naturally enough,
also snow a tremendous gain.
Thls years record will show but one
black mark, and that is in the horse
receipts. The total number received
this year, compared with 1901, will
show loss of nearly so per cent This
may be explained in two ways. Re-
ce1ptS this year were normal and the
trade natural. In 1901 receipts were
abnormal and the trade unnatural In
1901 many large shipments of Western
horses We're made. In 1902 the supply,
owing to the enormous inroadS of the
previous year, had greatly diminished
and the falling off in receipts was but a
natural result.
While the Union Stock Yards Com
pany and the business men located
there have enjoyed most prosperous

handsomely. All year long the demand
for killing stuff of all kinds has been
