A COOL OFFICER.
He Faced an Angry london Mob and
Got Fair Play.

During the reform riots in Hyde
Park, London, in 1866. the mob on a
well remembered night began tear
ing down the fences of Hyde Park
for fires and barricades. Colonel
Thomas Wentworth Hisginson tells
in the Atlantic Monthly of an Eng
lish officer who was dining with a
friend, all unconscious of the i'm
pending danger. Presently he receiy-
ed summons from the war depart
ment, telling him that his regiment
was ordered out to deal with the
mob.
He fastened back to his own house
but when he called for his horse he
found that his servant had received
permission to go out for the evening
and had the key of the stable in his
pocket. The officer hastily donned
his uniform and then had to proceed
on foot to the guards armory. which
lay on the other side of Hyde Park
Walking hastily in that direction, he
came out unexpectedly at the very
headquarters of the mob, where they
We're already piling up the fences.
His uniform was recognized, and
angry shouts arose. It must have
seemed for the moment to the smob
that the Lord had delivered their
worst enemy into their hands.
There was but one thing to be
done. He made his way straight to-
ward the center of action and called
to man who was mounted on the
pile and was evidently the leader of
the tumult:
Il say, my good man, my regiment
has been called out by Her Majesty's
orders. Will you give me hand
over this pile?"
The man hesitated a minute and
then said, with decision: Boys. the
gentleman is right He is doing his
duty, and We have no quarrel with
him. Lend a hand and help him
over"
This was promptly done, with en-
tire respect, and the officer in bril-
liant uniform went hastily on his way
amid three cheers from the mob.
Then the mob returned to it's work.
to complete it if possible before he
whom they aided should come back
at the head of his regiment and per
haps order them to be shot down.

THE TALK OF MEDIATION
Little Prospect that other Powers VIII
Mix In the Eastern Ep.T,r,.--iio,

Mix In the Eastern Eps5ro-'io.
In its session at St. Louis the Inter
parliamentary Union adopted two resO-
buttons, one asking the President OF the
United States to call new session of
The Hague conference and the other
asking the powers to intervene to effect
peace in the far East. The proposal to
hold another conference at The Hague
and thus promote the cause Of peace gem
orally can arouse no opposition. The res
olution calling for the intervention OF the
powers in the Russo-Japanese war is an
other and far less practicable measure.
As matters now stand between the two
belligerent powers, Chicago paper says.
neither is in position either to ask
peace or to listen 10 offers OF friendly
mediation The fortunes Of war thus far
have been distinctly favorable to Japan.
That nation would not consent to any
terms of peace which did not involve the
expulsion OF Russia from Manchuria and
the placing OF Korea under a Japanese
protectorate. In all likelihood, the
japanese government would require also
the cession OF Sakhalin island and the
right to control the Port Arthur branch
of the Siberian railway. Russia. while
it has met heavy reverses, has experience
ed no such disastrous defeat as would
lead it to consider such terms. 1t would
decline to admit that Il has been defeat
ed or that future campaigns may not
give it a decisive victory over its enemy.
Unfortunately. moreover, none Of the
great powers seems TO be In a position
which would enable it to intervene with
out arousing the dstrust and antagonism
OF one or the other OF the belligerents.
An offer OF mediation from Great Brit
ain. Japan's ally. would be obnoxious TO
Russia. A similar offer from France.
the ally of Russia, would be equally OBJ
noxious TO Japan. The Kaisers atti-
tude. which is generally understood TO
be distinctly favorable to Russia, would
cause Japan TO distrust any exercise Of
mediatory powers on the part Of Ger
many and probably Of either Austria or
Italy, which are more or less under Ger
man influence. There remains the Unit

YOUNG INDIANS AT PLAY.
Amuse Themselves in the Same
Fashion as White Children.

As soon as the Seminole child is
four years old he is set to work az
some light task about the house. He
stirs the boiling soup. watches the
fire and replenishes 1t with sticks OF
wood aids in kneading the dough for
bread. washes am pounds the "koon-
til rocts a sort of potato, and contrib
utes in many ways to help his mother
in her work. says the Minneapolis
Times
But the children have plenty of
time for play. too The little girls
have dolls made of sticks, with pieces
Of rag wrapped around them, and
they are as fond of them as white
girls are of their wax dolls with
winking eyes
The Indian children build little
houses for their dolls and call them
camps" while the boys take little
bows and arrows and 90 into the
woods TO shoot small birds saying
when they return I'VE have been
turkey hunting"
Boys and girls sit around a piece
of earth into which they stick blades
of grass and call it a cornfeld ~
One amusement of which the little
Seminole Indians are fond is playing
with teetomms. They take dried
deer skin and peg it out tight on the
ground
Then they take the round roots of
peculiar grass called deer foot"
and thrusting through them little
sticks about as thick as a match and
twice as long. they set them whirling
on the deer skin by rubbing the up
per end of the stick quickly with the
palms of the hands. This they call
having dance"
The Seminole boys and girls have
a bad habit of eating between meals.
A big kettle filled with stewed meat
and vegetables always stands ready
with big spoon in il for anyone
who happens TO feel hungry, and they
will sometimes even get up in the
middle of the night TO take a spoon
full of stew.
The streams Of the Seminole ccun-
try abound in fish, and the Indians
soon become good fishermen. But
their ambition is to be trusted with
a shotgun and as soon as they are
old enough they are allowed TO take
one and go into the woods to shoot
wild turkeys. When the Seminole
boy is allowed to do this he counts
himself no longer child, but man

Profit in Hand senarator.

Hand separators average about 500
each, but this cost can be saved in a
year in any dairy where ten or more
cows are kept: this has been demon
strated- time and again, so there is no
doubt about it. Manufacturers of sepa-
ratora claim that the saving is about
ten dollars COW per year and Is based
on the fact that the cream is taken
from the milk while it is sweet. hence
there is no danger of it becoming sour,
and because of this almost perfect con
dition the cream ripens more evenly
and. therefore, makes better quail
ity of butter. Again. as the separat-
ing is done soon after milking the
value of the skim milk for feeding pur-
poses is greater, as it is usually given
to young stock while it still retains
the animal warmth. There is every
thing in favor of the hand separator
and nothing against it, 50 that any
man with a dairy of proper size, who
does not have a separator is cheating
himself out of just so much good
profit.

monstrated that the disease is con-

will soon spread the disease to-an en-
tire orchard and TO adjacent orchards
The one difficulty in the way of per-
ma3ently stamping out the disease is
the reluctance with which growers pull
up the tree.
AS rule, they wait until the tree
ceases to bear fruit of any value before
pulling out the tree. when, if they
would do the work as soon as the dis
ease was noticed, there would be little
daager of disease by agreeing with
each other to destroy the trees as soon
as the trouble was noticed.
