JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
Court Of Appeals Passes Upon Case OF
Thompson Against District.


Thompson Against District.
The Court Of Appeals. in an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Justice Shepard, has affirmed
the judgment Of the Police Court in the
case Of Corbin Thompson. plaintiff in error,
against the District Of Columbia. Mr..
Thompson, a dealer in milk, was convicted
In the Police Court under Information
charging him with refusing to exhibit to
the sealer Of weights and measures a glass
bottle used for the purpose Of measuring
milk. and was granted a writ Of error in
order that the Court Of Appeals might re-
view the judgment against him.
The Court Of Appeals holds, among other
things that to require glass bottles to be
stamped is not an unreasonable exercise
Of power; that the regulation In question
cannot be declared unreasonable and void
upon the testimony Of the plaintiff in
error, and that the evidence Is likewise
insufficient to show that the glass bottles
used by the plaintiff In error are not meas
ures within the meaning of the law.

Stale Medicines.

1.-THE length of time a prescription
retains its efficacy depends upon the in.
gradients" said a druggist. "Some
combinations Of drugs keep on good
terms with each other indefinitely,
while others get into a row after being
mixed together for awhile, and the
man who swallows a dose Of the CON-
pound is apt to feel a good deal worse
than before he tool it. AS q rule, medi.
cines that are quite sweet keep their
curative virtues longer han those that
are acid or bitter. Most any medicine
can be taken in Safety six months after
compromising. and many will be all
right six years hence. Those that are
not good generally take on a curdled,
milky appearance, but that Is by no
means an infallible rule, and the per.
son who wishes to save his system un.
comfortable complications would do
we'll to let all old medicines strictly
alone."-New York Press.

The Black Death In England,

In England the black death in the
fourteenth century made it's first ap-
pearance In Dorsetshire and quickly
spreading over the west It reached Lon
don by way of Oxford, leaving death
n desolation behind it everywhere.
1t was as fatal in the country as in the
town. Whole villages were depopulat-
ed and small towns almost wiped out
Of existence. The dead lay unburied
as they had died. for priests had been
swept away with their fiocks, and in
many parishes there was no one left to
celebrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended In the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror Of the times
bands Of marauders roamed about un-
molested, robbing alike the dead and
the living, and dogs, deprived of their
masters by death, came together in
packs, made ferocious by hunger, and
secured the country like so many bands
OF wolves.

A story of "Old IrOnsides,"

One Of the most famous of the Con-
stitution's exploits was during the war
of 1912, when she escaped from Broke's
squadron, among which she had acct
dentally fallen. The sea was almost a
dead calm, SO Captain Hull had to re-
sort to towing. All her boats were
lowered, with long lines attached. and
in addition Hull had ropes spliced to-
gether to make 4 line half a mile long,
to which he attached q kedge anchor.
This was carried in a boat half a mile
ahead and dropped, when the crew
hauled the ship rapidly forward. The
commodore Of the English squadron
soon adopted the same tactics, and If
it had not been for a breeze s%pringing
up the Constitution would have been

1VeuAhS hAuc "a rus
A Texas correspondent writes to the
Breeders Gazette:
"What is the feeding value Of John
son grass hay and at what stage Of
growth should it be cut? How does 1t
compare with millet and sorghum for
feed?'
Charles e. Bessey Of the Nebraska
experiment station makes this answer:
This is il of the fairly nutritious
grasses, but it is not among the very
best, like Kentucky blue grass OF the
clovers. 1t ranks with timothy and
orchard grass. AS it works up into
hay more easily it is better than millet
for that purpose and for many reasons
is to be preferred to sorghum unless
we take into account the seeds which
in millet and sorghum are very nutri-
tious. AS this is q coarse Stemmed
grass 1t should be cut as early as pos
sible-that is. when in the first stages
of full Towering.
1t must be remembered that in the
south Johnson grass is very tenacious
and when once established Is hard to
eradicate. AS l have said elsewhere, it
Is a slayer, and it 'stays put" and will
give any man a good deal of trouble
who wishes to get rid of it. 1t is a good
grass for pasture and hay, but it is
hard to get out of the ground If you
want to use the field for some other
crop.

CARLYLE AND EMERSON.
NO That Either Ever Seri-
ousiy Studied Chr%istianity,

Inc grave charge is to be BROUGHT
against both Carlyle and Emerson that.
"hlle they were the product of Chris
uah civilization and drew the sub
suahce or their message from the re-
hSious faith of their people, there is
no evidence that either ever seriously
studied Christianity. The greatest
phenomenon in human history engages
out lightly the attention or the enthu-
slasm or either, nor does either fathom
the need of the humanity that has
risen on b strength of the gospel Of
.hrlst. 1t was the dim perception Of
this fact that led Lord Jeffrey to re-
mark to Carlyle that he went about
as If he were to found a new religion.
NO II a done anything for mans
soul until he came. One can hardly
read the correspondence of Carlyle and
Emerson without the feeling of their
excessive consequentialness in the
presence of the immense historic
achievement of spiritual genius; in the
presence of the spirit, the teaching and
the influence of Jesus. Both were es-
.sentlally modest men, and yet they
llVed IN the sense of a uniqueness and
an Importance which they do o pos
sess. They are both frequently oracu-
lar when utter!ng with literary distinc-
ton only the commonplace moral wis
dom of the Christian world. 1t is a
valid criticism upon Carlyle and Emer-
son that they failed to recognize the
rock whence they were hewn and that
they did lot exhaust the quarry; that
they were oblivious of the pit whence
they were digged, and that the precious
metal remained after they were taken
out In boundless abundance.-Rev.
George A. Gordon, d. D., in Atlantic.

LAMBS MUST BE FAT.
Whatever Pays If Half Done, Pays
Better IL Thoroughly Done,


1t is somewhat remarkable to notice
what a number of half fat lambs find
their way to the Chicago market these
days, says Wool Markets and Sheep.
Such a state of affairs should not exist.
Putting half fat lambs on the market
In mistake for fat ones is one sure way
OF throwing profit to the winds, for it
Is in the latter half Of the feeding proc
ess that the profits lie. Half fat NUT
ton or lamb is very inferior in quality
as compared 70 the ripe article, it being
decidedly tougher and insipid. Sending
a load of fat lambs to a commission
house with the idea Of expecting it
to remit market topping returns for
them is scarcely a fair proposition. A
farmer that would expect large profits
from a field of corn cut in a half ripe
state or condition would be adjudged a
lunatic, and we are almost tempted to
say the lamb feeder that would mar
ket his lambs In a similar condition Is
little less so. Lambs should be put on
h market either as fat lambs or as
feeders. There should be no interme-
date stage. True, through unforeseen
circumstances and sometimes poor cal
culatiOns the feeder occasionally finds
himself short of feed and dislikes the
idea of buying additional foodstuffs
wherewith to put the finishing touches
on his lambs. Again, he may run short
of money, but this should not be any
excuse for his sending his lambs to
market in an unfinished condition, as
reliable commission houses are always
ready to advance him money on his
lambs and give him such treatment as
becomes business men. True, there are
those in the commission business that
may pinch" where they have the
chance, but then they are the kind that
do not long remain in the commission
business. The shipper will get every
cent as much for his cOnsignments to
the reliable commission house that has
advanced him the money wherewith
to finish his lambs as he would If he
were under no obligation to some. OF
course the usual customs consistent
with conservative banking must be
reckoned with. One thing certain is
that If it pays to feed a bunch of lambs
into a half fat condition it pays con-
siderably more to finish them even If
financial aid has to be sought to bring
about the desired results.

THE HIGHEST DEMAND.
The Processes OF P~aStcurizfnS and
Clarifying MIX.

1t may prove interesting to some Of
our readers to know bow the finest
brands of milk are handled for the
very particular market they are intend
ed to supply. Let us say right here
that the influence of this highest de-
mand is making itself felt all along the
line, even to the ordinary creamery,
calling for a more conscientious and
intelligent treatment of the milk and
its conditions, says Hoard's Dairyman.
The Dayton CO., Pure Milk and But
ter company have lately installed their
plant. and we will describe the various
processes through which the milk
passes.
About twenty-five dairymen are now
furnishing milk direct to the plant.
Every mans product is first tested each
morning to see that it has not been
"doctored' by the addition Of formal
dehyde or other foreign substance or
diluted with water. 1t Is then put into
q large tank and weighed. From this 1t
goes with the other milk into q very
large open tank covered with cloth,
where it is constantly stirred to pre-
vent the cream from rising. This IS on
the second floor. The next process
takes the milk to the first floor, where
it passes through the tempering tank.
Here the temperature Of the milk is
raised to about 1852 degrees, not hot
enough to change the chemical proper
ties Of the milk, however. The process
Is continuous from the time the fluid
leaves the receiving tank until it is
Theoretically sealed in sterilized bot
ties. As it goes from the tempering
tank it runs directly to the clarifer,
which makes thousands Of revolutions
q minute, and every particle of foreign
matter Is eliminated. And such stuff It
is, a whole bucketful every day of the
Of disease.
From the clarifer the hot milk goes
to the pasteurizers. There are three Of
these, the first filed with hot water,
the second with cold, the third with
brine. In passing through these ma
chimes the temperature Of the milk is
lowered In about ten seconds from 162
to 80 degrees. And therein Is the pas
teurizing process by which all bacteria
and germs of every sort are killed, as
they are not able to withstand the
shock OF thu sudden change in temper
ature.
After bottling the milk is put In cold
storage and held for delivery. 1t is as
pure az milk can be and yet just as tru-
~ milk as It ever was. 1t will keep for
nvc OF elk days in an ordinary refr1ger-
ator. The pasteurizing kills the Tactic
germs. which are responsible for the
souring process.
The bottles are cleaned al clean as
they can be made and afterward put In
Z sterilizinG oOm and subjected to 24O
degrees Of heat for half an hour.

The reign of George II. vas q great
fighting time. Every man who went
abroad knew that he might have to
fight to defend himself against footpad
or bully. Most men carried a stout
stick. When DR.. johnson heard that a
man had threatened to horsewhip him
he ordered a thick cudgel and was easy
in his mind. There were no police, and
therefore a man had to fight. 1t cannot
be doubted that the martial spirit Of
the country. which was extraordinary,
was greatly sustained by the practice
Of fighting, which prevailed alike in all
ranks.
