AN EARL'S ROMANCE

Quite as romantic as any novel is the
true story Of how the Earl Of Darnley
met with his clever and charming wife.
He was then the Hon. Two Bligh, and
while visiting Melbourne with the Eng
fish cricketers injured his hand at a
cricket match. The wound was bound up
for him by lady who was present, who
used her own handkerchief for the pur-
pose, and when, later on, Mr.. Bl1gh
wanted to thank his good Samaritan and
return the handkerchief, he was intro
duced to Miss Florence Borphy, daughter
Of a local magistrate, charming young
girl, with whom he fell instantly in love.
The sequel reads like storybook, for
they were married in 1884. Sixteen years
later Mr.. Bligh, by the death of his
brother, became eighth Earl Of Darnley.

America Counts Now.

Day by day the impression grows
that some important international
Financing is under way. The fact that
number of the shining lights of the
American financial center are in Eu-
rope, and that several prominent bank
3ers sailed for London recently lends
color to the belief that something big
enough to warrant the combined oper-
alton of banks on both sides Of the
water Is under way.
This, in all likelihood, means that a
big loan is wanted by Japan or Rus
STA. That these countries will have
to borrow very heavily is evident. AS
yet they have taken practically moth
ing, the 5000 100000 Russian loan and
$50, 600, 200 loan to Japan counting for

FROM "THE PROBLEM"

Not from a vain or shallow thought
Never from the lips Of cunning fell
The thrilling Delphic oracle;
Out from the heart Of nature rolled
The burdens of tho Bible old;
The litanies of nations came,
Like the volcanoes tongue Of flame,
UP from the burning core below
The canticles Of love and woe.
The hand that rounded Peters dome
And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,
Wrought in sad sincerity;
Himself from God he could not free;
He bnilded better than he knew
The conscious stone to beauty grew.
Know'st thou what wove yon woodbird's nest
OF leaves and feathers from her breast?
Or how the fish outbui1t her SHE'LL
Painting with morn each annual cell?
Or how the sacred pine tree adds
To her old leaves new mgriads?
Such and SO grew these holy piles,
Whilst love and terror laid the tiles.
Earth proudly wears the Parthenon,
AS the best gem upon her zone.
And Morning opes with haste her lids
To gaze upon the Pyramids;
Der England,s abbeys bends the sky
AS on its friends with kindred eye;
For, out Of Thoughts interior sphere,
Those wonders rose to upper air;
And Nature gladly gave them place,
Adopted them into her race,
And granted them an equal date
. With Andes and with Ararat.

little. as things are reckoned in inter-
national finance. Great round sums
will have to be raised by both coun-
tries before long.
The interesting feature about this,
from the American standpoint. is, the
increasing Importance Of New York as
worlds money market. Time was,
not SO many years ago, when a great
London banking house would have ne
gotiated a big loan Independently and
then have offered some share of 1t to
American investors. Today it is
thought advisable to look to America
in these matters and sound sentiment
very carefully before taking final
action. ,u,-. ~. ....- ,4...'.. ~. .s'

Justice Is Sometimes Too Partic-
..' ~ S.. ular.

. It appears that Lundberg, the gov
eminent inspector who approved the
safety appliances Of the Slocum, was
also the inspector for the Norge, the
Danish vessel lost off the coast Of
Scotland. Much the same condition
of things appears to have obtained
upon both vessels. The Slocum, it
adequate provision for the safety Of
it's passengers. What life-saving de-
vices it had were rotten and worse
than useless. Its fire apparatus would
not work, and the boat, was literally
a firetrap. The Norge was never in
and yet it had on board $50 on this
last trip. For 400 the life-saving ap-
pliances would have been inadequate,
while the balance Of the $50 were, Of
course, without any protection what
ever against the dangers Of ship
wreck. ....-
The government inspectors say in
defense of themselves that it Is use
less for them to report failure to COM
ply with the law in these particulars
because shipowners and others re-
sponsible in similar cases are always
able to evade the penalty thru the in
reference Of some public official of
higher grade. 1t might work an in
justice temporarily to send few
Lundbergs to the penitentiary for life,
but that injustice would be very
trifing compared with the good &C
complished if it should result in in
spectors refusing to grant certificates
Of satisfactory inspection, even at the
risk Of their positions, and thus
force exposure of all the facts to the
public. The inspectors will find a
way to make the facts known in such
manner that they will not be
ignored If the alternative Is imposi-
ton Of the full penalty upon them
selves. .. -, t.. II.
The first responsibility for the loss
of 1900 lives by the burning Of the
Slocum and the sinking Of the Norge
rests with Inspector Lundberg, and II
upon him could be inflicted the fullest
penalty which the law provides the
injustice done him, If there were any
would be Of minor Importance, for
there would soon be no more Lund-
bergs in the business. The inspector
who found his report ignored and
himself still liable for the i'm
pending consequences would either
get out of the business or he
would place the facts plainly
before the public for his own protec-
ton. Publicity Is the great safeguard
against official neglect and corrup-
ton, and when the honest official be-
gins to realize what a powerful
weapon it is, not only for protection
of his own reputation, but for the
compelling of honest official action by
his associates and superiors, he will
think it worth while to use it. Wher
the law takes too much trouble tt
trace official responsibility to it's ulti
mate source the public suffers.

A prolog is a dangerous reef in author
dom; in fact, a reef that it is wise to
avoid if possible. In the seventeenth
century, when the laws Of the drama de-
manded a prolog, the subtle writer's avoided
he difficulty by carefully refraining from
mentioning anything that really had to do
with the play. Today, when there are
no hard and fast rules in the art OF
writing, it is not probable that any author
would choose a pro1og unless he deemed
1t necessary. In The Effendl tl1irty-six
pages are devoted to rehearsal Of pre-
zlininary facts It is true that it brings
about the denouement without unneces-
sary details and thus may have that for
an excuse for being. But let the hroiog
be Judged by the words Of one Of the
characters, who says:
Bald statements Of facts are seldom
interesting"
The prolog deserves criticism because
the story itself Is such an exciting tale
that 1t should not be weighted at the
beginning. The scene of the story Is laid
in the Soudan and round about Luxor
and the tonbs of the Egyptian kings in
old Thebes. The author shows a thoro
knowledge of the locality, but nowhere
delays the action OF the narrative in order
to display that knowledge.

CORN AED COB MEAL AS FEED.

1t is generally known that corr co6s
consist largely of crude fiber and that
their feeding value is not high, but when
we consider the subject Of corn and cob
meal there are other factors that must
be taken into account.
A writer in an agricultural exchange
claims that pure cornmeal is heavy
concentrated feed, which usually passes
through the digestive tract Of the an
imal without having all Of its nutrients
abstracted from it. Usually it is much
better to dilute this heavy meal with
some other material of lower feeding
value. Through thus increasing its
volume, or diluting it. it is possible that
the juices Of the stomach act more free
ly and completely upon the food materi-
al of the meal.
Whether this explanation be the cor
rect one or not, it is certainly fact that
experiments have shown that the cob Of
corn when ground with the grain grow
ing on the cob 10 some way added to the
usefulness Of the material. As evidence
on this point we have the experiments
conducted with fattening steers BY Shell
ton at the Kansas Agricultural College.
There were two experiments. In each
Of these one lot Of steers received oat
straw, orchard grass, hay and clover for
roughage. One Of the two lots received
cornmeal as the concentrated food, while
the other lot was fed corn and cob meal.
The steers in each bunch we're of the
same quality, the feed and care we're
alike excepting the grain foods, which
we're as noted likewise the quantity Of
grain food received BY each lot for the
period was the same. In both cases the
steers getting corn and cob meal made
a little better daily gain than the steers
getting pure cornmeal, and the total
gains for the lots we're about the same.
Shelton concludes, as a result Of these
trials, that pound of corn and cob meal
was equal in value to pound Of pure
cornmeal for steer feeding purposes
Corn and cob meal as feed for fatten-
ing hogs has been tested at three OF the
agricultural cOlleges-viz: New Hamp-
shire, Missouri and Kansas. At the
6rst two corn and cob meal proved So.
perior to the same weight Of cornmeal,
while in the Missouri trial the cornueal
was the more valuable.
For the present and until we have
more experiments to guide us, we may
hold to the statement made by Shelton,
above referred to, that pound of corn
and cob meal goes as far in feeding as
pound Of pure cornmeal.
This should be satisfactory from the
miller's point Of view. as he will be
called upon to do the grinding. Farm
ers who have attempted to grind corn
and cob together find that it is rather
difficult matter to secure a grinding ap-
pAratus that will do the work property.
