purchas.ng Dairy Cove.

It is safe to say that no farmer can
buy a cow without risk Of loss, as she
may be Of spiteful disposition, may
bring disease on the farm, may yield
but little. or give inferior milk and
may prove improbable from several
causes. To sell her may be but to get
another no better. The presence Of
two or three inferior cows ia a herd
affects the average profit Of the whole.
No dairyman can buy q cow and know
what she is worth until he has tested
her. 1t is impossible for him to know
how long she will keep up her flow
of milk, even if she is apparently a
good animal. Such COWS win fall off

BY turning out 1,j20 finished loco
motives-an average of one every
four hours-the Baldwin locomotive
works. of Philadelphia, has broken
all records during 1902. Indications
point to an even greater output in
1908. In 1900. 1901 and 1902 the
works turned out 1.217. 1.375 and 1,520
locomotives respectively. In tonnage
a much greater increase was regis
tered, some of the engines weighing
3Ss. 900 pounds each. The money value
of the years output was about $780,
10000. an increase of 100000 OF
the locomotives 424 were compounds.

Opposes his Endorsement.

Columbus, O., May 22.-It was IN
ousli6edly and officially announced
this morning that Senator Hanna
will oppose any Endorsement oil
Roosevelt for denomination next
wear at the republican state eonven-
ton next week. The announcement
was made through a close personal
and political friend.
The reason given is that Hanna
being chairman OF the national COM
mittee, could not afford to permit a
state controlled by him to indorse a
candidate for president at this time
as it would he a notice to other aspi-
rants that the national committee is
opposed to anv one else entering the
race. This would probably endsnger
feeling and destroy harmony in the
national organization.

The aerial torpedo flies like thing

rotated by an electric motor which
obtains its power from an ordinary

ROBBERY BY PHONE.
Ingenious Scheme by Which Valu-
able Jewelry Is Obtained.
sharper In England Succeeds In GET
ting Away with $4,000 worth Of
Gems Sent Supposedly for In
spectIOn 60 Customer.

The ingenuity with which the count
ess Of Selkirk was deprived of slS,OOO
worth of Jewels recently has been sur
passed by certain individuals who have
secured $4,000 haul of jewelry from
Messry. oldfeld, large firm AT Old
Post Office place, Liverpool.
The telegraph and telephone figure
prominently in this remarkable story,
which commenced about a fortnight
ago. when Mr.. Brocklebank, the head
of great shipping concern in Liver.
pool, came with his wife to the Inns OF
Court hotel, Holborn.
A great friend of the Liverpool mer-
chant was Laing Miller, wealthy
South African shipowner. While the
Brocklebanks we're in London, man,
who said he was Mr.. Miller, set up tele-
phonic communication with the serv-
ants at Mr.. Brocklebank's house at
Liverpool, and ascertained that the
family were away. He dispatched
telegram, in the name Of Mrs. Brockle-
bank, to Messrs. 0ldfield, requesting
them to forward to her Liverpool res
idence varied selection of jewelry, TO
be distributed as Christmas presents.
He also telephoned to the house again,
warning the servants that parcel
would arrive, and he (the psuedo Mr..
Miller) had been commissioned by Mr..
Brocklebank to call for it and take it
to London.
AS the Brocklebanks were old Gus
toners, Messrs. 0ldtield complied with
the wired request. The servants, know
ing Mr.. Laing Miller by name, and not
by sight, had no suspicious when, soon
after the arrival of the parcel of $1O,-
900 worth of jewelry, they handed it
over TO u well-dressed, clean-shaven,
gentlemanly individual.
This happened on recent Tuesday.
Nothing more has been seen of the
sham Mr.. Miller, and the fraud was only
discovered when Messrs. Oldfield sent
to Mr.. Brocklebank's house another
quantity of jewelry. in case the first
did not afford sufficient scope of Sc
lection.
The servants telephoned their mas
ter to know what to do in the matter,
andtheu heclever plan stood revealed.
The last diamond robbery where the
telephone played the principal part
occurred in Ely place, Iatton garden,
some few months ago, when packet
of diamonds valued at $4,000 was
stolen from the table of diamond
dealer

A BREEDER OF CRIME
Government Specialist Places In
dictment Against Civilization.
DIR. Macdonald Thinks That High De-
veIopments of Modern Days II
Responsible for L0Hg Train
Of Evils.

In q report to congress DR.. Arthur
Macdonald, specialist of the United
States bureau of education, makes the
startling announcement that within
the last 80 or 10 years, with few excep-
tions, "there has been an increase,
relative to population, in crime, sui
eide, insanity and other forms of abb
normalty." DR.. Macdonald says it
would seem that the increase is due
more to the rapid development of the
world in general rather than TO any
specific cause.
DIR. Macdonald says that in this coun-
try the states that show the greatest
education and intelligence, as the
north Atlantic, central and western
states, also exceed in insanity, suicide
nervous diseases, juvenile criminals
and almshouse paupers. He says, how
ever, and 1t is not to be assumed that
education and intelligence tend to in
crease social evils. 1t might be just a.
logically argued, he says, that the
consumption of sugar and the number
Of divorces granted in a certain sec
ton had a relation to each other.
There is no doubt, DR.. Macdonald says,
that all of these factors may be related
in some way, but just how intimately
he has not yet been able to determine.
In connection with the increase in
crime, Mr.. Macdonald says that in the
40 years covered by his report there has
been a constant condensation of popu-
lation and that another possible cause
may be that while the consumption of
wheat, coffee and other grains has in
creased per capita, the consumption of
malt liquors has increased in much
greater ratio, illustrating tendency
toward less solid, less staple, and more
artificial food, since the consumption
of meat and potatoes has decreased.
In stating some of the possible causes
for the increase in crime and insanity,
DIR. Macdonald says:
"The rapid development of society,
as we have suggested, is possibly one
of the main causes; it includes great
number of new Inventions, Increased
opportunities for travel, and the enter
prise of the press enabling us to read
all the news of the world at breakfast,
"This state of civilization, involving
many transition periods, puts an abb
normal strain upon the nervous system
as compared with the muscular system.
Thus, the electric car, automobile, and
the telephone tend to make people ex-
ercise less and think more. A reac-
ton has set in already through the de-
velopment of systems of physical cul-
ture. The lower cost of living and the
increase of wealth, with the luxuries
of the table, have tended to overeat-
ing, which, in connection with lack of
exercise. has had its evil effects, and
doubtless produced an additional reac-
ton on the nervous system. Whent the
nerves are unstrung by overpressure
the will may become weak, depression
and pessimism set in, and loss of self
control follow. with its consequent alb
normal actions leading on to crime and
other social evils"

HID FORTUNE IN BARN.
Kansas Man Who Distrusted Banks
Reveals secret Depository of His
Wealth on His Death He'd.

Charles p. Robinson, aged 60 years,
died at his home at Ottawa, Kan, of
Robinson's death was
the cause of she circulation of singu-
lar story. When consumption fas-
tened itself upon Robinson and his ply
stefan assured him that his death was
only a question of weeks, he sent for
some friends and had unearthed his
accumulation of gold and greenbacks.A
fortune of some 81 600 was dug out of the
manger of the Robinson barn and was
deposited in one of the city banks. The
money was in gold and currency. and as
ii was shaken out of the fruit jars in
which it was packed it smelled strong
~ of must and damp.
That Robinson had some wealth was
generally understood, but that he had
any supply of cash was scarcely sus-
pected. Robinson's accumulations
were the result of a saving policy thor
oughly practiced. He began it when he
went to Ottawa, IS years ago. Not q
stick of wood dropped from a passing
wagon into the street. escaped his at
tention. He was "a kindly old man. an
old soldier, and had a good war rec
ord.
His distrust of banks was one of his
chief characteristics. How long he
had been boarding money about his
place is not known. but it is presumed
that he had it buried in various places
for a good many years.
