YANKEE INVENTIONS.
Chinese Newspaper in the Philip
pines Describes an Ingenious
American COntrfvance.

Admiral Dewey was a prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Uusually he occupied a
box. One afternoon little party of farmers
came up to shake hands with him, and there
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post.
When I was in the Philippines" said Ad-
miral Dewey, AN American resident brought
me, one day, a Chinese paper. He said this
paper would interest me because it CON
tained an account of an American invention.
Then, with smile, he translated para
graph that ran something like this:
"'The ingenuity of the Yankee is typitied
well in hens nest that he has recently in
vented and patented This li mes, nest increases ,s
limited degree. In the bottom,,of it there is
trap door, governed by delicate e spring. pn; at
causes the trap door to open, whereupon the
egg drops down into subterranean com
partment, and the door closes very swiftly
and silently again. The hen gets up, turns
to look at the egg, but sees none there. 50
thinking she had laid, and she sits down
again and deposits another egg; which, like
its predecessor, disappears. The process
continues indefinitely.

Bars Coal Tar Colors.

The dairy commission has made q
ruling to the effect that coal tar colors
shall not be used by creamery mana
gers after Jan. 1. Minnesota is the
first state to forbid the use of coloring
matter for butter and in making this
ruling, Commissioner Mcconnell says
he is only following the law which
prohibits the use of coal tar or aniline
colors in other food products.
Vegetable colors for butter are more
expensive than the coal tar product
and as result the latter has been
used almost exclusively. The dealers
are allowed two and half months
in which to get rid of their coal tar

Commodore Somerville Nicholson, or
the United States Navy, in letter from

says:

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true today of most pro-
prietary medicines. But Peruna has
become so justly famous, it's merits are
known to so many people of high and
low stations, that no one hesitates to
see his name in print recommending
Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna q strong endorsement.

THE KAISER RUMIxANT.

Germany's talented and even brilliant young emperor does not find everything going his way despite his wisdom and unwearied exertions to keep posted on everything worth knowing and to heighten the glories that pertain to his reign and to the German empire. There seems to be fly in the ointment" "a defect in his foreign policy which has told, and heavily, too against Ger many's foreign trade. The Kaiser has troubles of his own. That little recent episode in the bombardment of Vene- zuela has already borne fruit in a
 marked falling off of the trade between Germany and South American coun- tries. The trade balances of late are attracting much attention in Germany. The attack on Venezuela has aroused a prejudice against the German trader all over South America (and turn in the tide in favor of trade with this country) and this is vividly reflected in the latest trade reports with Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and other republics. The Hamburg South American Steam ship company has just had to pass it's dividend in consequence of this falling off of it's South American business and other German-South American steam ship lines are also earning much less money than formerly. Then, too, Ger many's official policy toward the Boers and antagonism. to England during the Boer war has resulted in the systematic boycotting of German merchants and goods in South Africa. This makes a great difference in the sale of German iron and steel and mechanical products in South Africa, which before the Boer war, were in high favor in the Trans Vaal states during Kruger's regime. The same is true of German trade in China and the Balkan states. Hence there has just arisen in Germany vigorous out spoken criticism of the Kaiser's foreign policy, which is being voiced in the Reichstag. The Kaiser is so keenly alive to all that effects the interests of his beloved empire that the protests will no doubt cause him some bad hours and a revision of the aforesaid policy. The mischief done can hardly be re- trieved, however. in one decade.

4 NOTABLE C1SE,

The decision by the United States Cir cult court at St. Louis in the Northern
 Securities merger case, in it's wide reaching importance, naturally attracts much attention all over the country.
 It seems to be clear that the legality of the merger principle, or holding com pany" idea, by means of which not only the Northern Securities company was formed, but many other consolidat ions of parallel and competing railroad
 lines" effected, has been seriously as sailed. Divested of all technicalities, the question presented to the court was
 whether the union of the Northern Pa cif1c, the Great Northern and the Chi
 cago. Burlington and Quincy railroads,
 by whatever means accomplished was in conflict with the antitrust law pass
 ed by Congress in 1890. The court has
 decided that the combination was in
 direct violation of this law. An appeal will be taken to the Supreme court, but
 with dubious prospect of reversal of
 the present decision. The decision came
 as a surprise and a wet blanket on
 Wall street just when stocks were
 starting upward in a joyous way after
 the long depression. But now that the
 news is out" Wall street will hobble along somehow. It is confidently be- lieved by many that way will be found of maintaining this community
 of interest in a permanent and corpor- ate form, even if the Supreme court of the United States holds that the organ ization of such companies as the North
 ern Securities company is illegal. Yet able lawyers have done their best, and
 the result is a bad defeat for them. But until the Supreme court shall have ren- dered it's decision on the appeal from this judgment the essential methods of doing business employed by many of the railroads of the country have a se- rious cloud of doubt cast upon them. The case should have as early a final settlement as possible. MT. Morgans views on the subject are not pessimis- tic He says: "When railroad men know exactly how the law is to be in- terpreted they will probably find good ways to see that properties are oper-
 ated economically and profitably."
