10 lest PRESERVED MEAT.
Partake for Year of Food Chem
icalIy Prepared.

Professor W. Ii. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the agricul-
tural department, has begun series of
experiments ON IL young men in the
government employ for the purpose
of testing the physiological effects of
the use of meat preserved with bUrax
and other chemicals. The experiments
will be made with a view to deciding
what basis there is for the objections
of the German government to Ameri-
can meats, on the ground that borax
and other chemicals used in their pres
ervation are injurious to public health.
The II young men selected are volun-
teers, and all are young and vigorous.
Each has pledged himself during the
period the tests are to last to abstain
from food and drink except as it may
be permitted by Prof. Wiley. They are
nearly all of them employed in the
scientific bureaus of the agricultural
department.
Six of them will be fed on pure
foods, mtreated meats, and vegetables,
while the other six will partake of the
same fare submitted to chemical treat
ment.
This arrangement will continue for
about two weeks, and then the govern.
ment boarders will change their diet,
those not eating chemically treated
food adopting such regimen, while
the others get untreated rations, and
at the end of two weeks reversing their
diet again. This will be continued for
a year or more.
The men will be weighed before each
meal and careful notes will be taken
of their appearance each day. The ex-
periments will be conducted by the
government to demonstrate what eff
teet borax, salycilic acid, formaldehyde,
benzoic acid, benzoate of soda, and
other chemicals used for preserving
foodstutfs have on the health of the
consumers of such foods.

during the winter there is plenty of
snow for the fashioning of snowballs,
the present day boy is not trained in
the sport. He never saw a fierce
SNOWFALL battle that prevailed in the
days when his father was a boy, and
he has come to feel that throwing a
SNOWFALL at passerby is about as
bad as throwing anything else.
Staid old people rejoice exceeding

pass by a schoolhouse at recess time

considered absolutely fatal for a man
to wear silk hat on a day when the
snow was of the proper consistency
to fashion into a projectile. Now
silk hat can be worn with absolute
impunity any day in the winter.
SnOWballing was once the time hon

AMERICAN PROGRESS.

about 1000 men, three times as much
steel as the Krupp works produce
with $4,000 men,
One hundred and seven thousand
tons of American peanuts were

MarseilIes, the great market for
olive oil, imported in December 1900
tons of cotton seed oil. Nearly all
of it was from the United States
The total value Of the 1902 exports
Of manufactures, as shown by the
figures of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics, is $41O,65O,967, against $685.

100000.
In the last fifteen months the rail
ways of Great Britain, although tho
most crowded in the world, have not
caused single death. In that time
more than 1900 persons have been
killed by the railways of the United
States-as shown by the accident bull
letins of the interstate commerce
commission.
An American professor, after visit
ing large chronological institute in
Germany, said that the school and its
equipment was ahead of anything at
home. When this compliment was
repeated afterward to a prominent in
structor in the institute he replied:
why, that is exactly what l said of
your technical schools after my trip
to America, and that is the only way
could get the money to make ours
what it is today"
The electrical fan is increasing in
popularity as a purveyor Of comfort,
both at home and in the equatorial
regions, so that the American output
for the coming summer is estimated
by the Electrical World at 10000.
Not only does it serve to mitigate the
heat of summer, but in a great many
instances it answers the purpose Of
sanitation and ventilation so economi-
cally and efficiently that few other ap-
planes can compare with it.

Tommy is very anxious to have

Here is where the truly feminine
appears. Mamie considered the mat
ter deeply for a few moments, and
then said ingenuously:
well, why doesn't he leave out the
boys, then, and invite me?"
When Mamie gets a little older she
will find many young men only too de-
lighted to give parties on exactly
that principle, but very likely her
own views will have changed by that
time-at least to the extent of keep
ing such ideas to herself

HER INGENIOUS SUGGESTION.

She is little but she has the true
feminine idea.
A boy Of about her own age has
been so devoted to her that it has at
tracted the attention of his play
mates, and the result has been dis
tressing. He has been leased until
life became a burden to him. In an
effort to escape his troubles he has
fOrsaken her. His heart is still true,
but he dares not look at her or speak
to her when any of the other boys
are near.
This being the state of affairs, it
will not be difficult to imagine his
distress when his mother decided to
give a birthday party for him. He
made up his own list of guests, and
when it was finished his mother noted
that one name was missing.
you've left out Mamie,'' she sug-
gested.
YES" he replied regretfully: Il
want to invite Mamie, but the boys
tease me so about her that 1 am afraid
to do it,"
But she'll be offended"
Cant you explain it," he asked.

THROW FEW SNOWBALLS.
Silk Hats, Once Tempting Targets,
Go Unscath Nowadays

Snowballing has gone out of style.
to say, but that it is true is apparent
to anybody who happens to think on
the subject. 1t may be that because
of the mild winters of the last ten
years and the scarcity Of snow the
present generation has never learned
the joys of snoWballing. Or it may
be that the growing tendency to re-
gard a boy who threw a SNOWFALL in
the same category with the person
who threw a brick or any other kind
of missile has had a tendency to
throw the sport into disfavor.
1t is more than probable, however,
that the first reason is the true one.
In former years, when winter meant
a carpet of white over the earth from
December to March, snowballing was
one Of the recognized sports of child
hood. In those days fiourished the
snow fort, with ramparts and out
works, and many and fierce were the
battles that ragged between the de-
ifenders of the fort and the attacking
iparty, and the ammunition Away
consisted of snowballs. But during
the last decade the scarcity of snow
has made such a thing as a snow fort
an impossibility.
1t was in the training to defeat or
attack the fort that the boys Of other
days became proficient in the use Oh
the SNOWFALL. When they were not
actually engaged in battle they would
do target practice on silk hats, cats,
