MINNESOTA NEWS.
Cannot Prove Impurities.

The state dairy and food depart
ment has decided to abandon the pro-
secution of dealers who handle impure
maple sugar until the department can
prove the impurity of product.
This is a result of test made by a
ST. Paul wholesale firm, which sent a
number of samples to the department
and asked an analysis.
The chemists were unable to esti-
mate the exact amount of maple and
cane sugar used in the doctored sam
plies and the department has decided
that until it can do better work an
alyzing samples it cannot maintain a
a case in court.
The officials claim an unfair advan-
tage was taken of the department and
that the samples were cleverly doc
tored.
The commission is determined to con-
duct series of tests to determine the
exact standard of maple sugar and I'M
til such standard had been determined
they would admit the sale of maple
syrup which did not contain moro thap
a half cane sugar.

about it. The trust will disappear as
soon as people are brave enough to re-
fuse to serve it. They should die rather
than assist in the support of men like
Rockefeller. 1t is their duty to die"
But in his attack upon President Har-
per, Tolstoi exceeds Tolstoi, when he de-
clares that the head of the university is
ignorant and barbarian. His COM
ment is as follows:
Last year President Harper, of the
University of Chicago, came to see me.
He told me about the millions of dollars
that Rockefeller had given to the univer-
sity. He seemed to think that these
millions were Of great Importance. But
when came totalk to him about serious
matters found him to be really igno-
rant-quite barbarian. He knew less
about matters of intellectual and moral
interest than a man might learn simply
by reading the Review of Reviews, for
instance. Think of such university
directed by such man. And yet that Is
one of the results of these trust millions"
And these fresh and sensational utter
ances have given the world a new
glimpse of Tolstoi which perhaps does
not alter the world S idea of Russia's rad
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1903-08-28

But this woman bears witness that
Tolstoi is pretty good business man, as
his sons often go to him for advice and
to borrow money. To show that the man
is not quite genuine, in spite of his
boosted generosity, she says the money
he gives away does not equal in amount
that which the countess spends. This
expenditure our informant regards as
wide and excellent, "as 1t gives work to
so many people," 1t will thus be seen
that our informant is possessed OF the
fallacy that to spend money-to put 1t
in distributions of itself wise and ex-
cellent.
So much for the opinion of the lady's
maid. Here is the report of the visit OF
a newspaper man, an American, to the
counts home. He arrived just as the
evening meal is about to begin. He
makes hasty toilet and descends to the
dinfng-room.
The soft and subdued light of the place
confuses our American for an instant;
the air is heavy with the perfume OF
flowers, and a buzz of conversation fills
the place. A score of persons are seated
at the long table, which is covered with
sparkling glassware, decorated china,
and costly napery. The conversation Is
interrupted slightly, and few monocles
are adjusted to get better view OF re

zeal reformer so much as it intensifies the
view already held. A lady's maid who
has served Countess Tolstoi in the SPLEEN
did home at Polyana views the count as
rude, crude, boorish, ungracious, I'M
graceful and an outlandish figure She
says you can see men who look exactly
like him standing at any country rail-
road station anywhere in Russia. She
regards it as absurd that he should not
eat the food that is served for others;
and his attire, to her, is willful eccen-
tricity, for he has money enough to at
ford the best.
In the opinion of this lady's maid Toll
stoi is not insane, as the countess en-
deavored to have him so adjudged by the
courts about Is years before, when he
was examined by medical commission,
and his case tried-his vigorous health
is proof of that, and his manner is gentle
and considerable reveals mo- Ill tenn
per-
He works in the fields, not so much to
help other people, the lady says, but be-
cause he finds that 1t renews his strength
gives appetite, and capacity for
thought as well as sleep. In all this he
is merely sly. And as for his going bare
foot, why it is the proper thing for shoe
makers to do.
