A "Jekyl and Hyde" case is reported
from Utica, N. Y. A certain woman of
good family and preacher of that city
have for some time been receiving
anonymous letters rejecting on the
character of the woman. 1t transpires
that the woman herself has been writ
ing the letters. while under the influ-
ence Of opium. 1t seems that, when
under the influence of the drug, she
loses her identity, forgets who she is
and imagines she is another person
having information of a damaging
character against her real self.

Americans are apparently becoming
greater tea drinkers, for in 1903 the net
imports of that article were 104, ,632, ,260
pounds, against 74,374,041 in 1902. Com
pared with the preceding years the i'm

crease from China of more than Is, ,O00,-

The gross imports of coffee in the fiscal
year 1902 were 1 ,091 ,004 ,252 pounds, while
in 1903 only OLE, ,066, $3.50 pounds came in.
Despite the falling off in imports, which
was probably due to the market having a
large supply on hand, the amount trans
shipped and exported was Al, ,701, ,S06
pounds, against "a ,426,615 pounds in the
previous year, says the government Off
cial report. It is interesting to note that
the per capita consumption of coffee is
about 13 pounds, while that of tea is
one and one-half pounds. The price of
tea, however, is more than double that

mission to Investigate Reported
Physical Decay in Lower Classes.

The British government has appointed
a commission to inquire into the alleged
physical deterioration of the lower
classes in the United Kingdom
Almeric Fitzroy, clerk of the privy
council, is the chairman. He is assisted
by the former head of the army gym
nastic school, the inspector of reforma-
tories, the chief of the navy recruiting
service, statisticians and others. The
appointment of the commission was the
outcome of debate in the house of lords
during which Lord Meath and the bishop
of Nippon drew attention to the terrible
conditions prevailing among the poorer
classes. The duke Of Devonshire, lord
president of the council, then admitted
that Great Britain's military and indus
trial outlook was seriously threatened
and promised an inquiry into the matter.
The subject was also brought up in the
house of commons by Sir William R. An
son, parliamentary secretary to the
board of education, who declared 10000
children now attending London schools
were physically unfit for instruction.
The director general of the army med
ical service reports that one man in every
three offered as recruits had to be re-
jected. The appointment of the commits
sion is hailed with approval by the press.

Creameries SWindled.

minnesota creameries and cheese
factories lost thousands of dollars last
lmmer through unscrupulous agents
and commission firms" says w. w. 2.
Mcconnell, state dairy and food COM
missioner. "The representatives of
these firms have very smooth way Of
doing business. They approach the
buttermaker by telling him what ex-
cellent butter he makes. They say il
is the best they have ever seen; that It
is just what they have been looking for,
and that their employers will give from
a half to cent pound more than the
market price. The buttermaker is
pleased by the compliments and readily
contracts to consign butter to the firm s
headq uarters. The butter is shipped,
bills are sent to the firm in rapid sue
cession, but no replies are received" .
MIR. Mcconnell is considering the adj
visibility of establishing a credit bu-
reau in connection with the state dairy
and food department. HE will make
+, arrangements to secure from mercan-
! tile agency reports on commission
houses whose credit is questioned and
furnish the information free to Mime
sofa buttermakers and cheesemakers.
An unusually large number Of
CT r3ameries and cheese factories was or
ganized in Minnesota last summer
and the total output of butter and
cheese is considerably larger than in
previous years. It is estimated that
there are 725 creameries and 80 cheese
factories in the state, as compared with
681 creameries and 73 cheese factories
year ago. The total output of cream.
