materials contain a considerable part
cf water, which cannot be considered
as part Of the food. Grass, roots, en-
silage, as rule, carry about three
fourths Of digestible matter, but only
half OF it is appropriated. Stra" IS
much less digestible.
Physical character Of food must De
considered with reference to the an
imal. Large stomachs require large
amounts, while small stomachs de-

II feeding is profitable, the more
feedi G, within reasonable limits, the
better.
Balancing food is important. For
this we must rely on chemistry.
Physiological chemists have prepared
tables OF digestibility which are very
useful. The dry matter in food is
what we must consider. The digesti-
BILE portions OF food may be divided
into life supporting and flesh or mus
Gle producing parts. Both parts of
the food are nutritious. The nutri.
tive ratio seen 50 often means the
relative proportions Of heat or life
supporting elements to the flesh pro-
ducing elements The heat produc-
ers, or life sustainers are known as
carbonaceCus elements. Corn straw
hay, etc., are rich in cartonaceous
matter.
The flesh producers contain nitro,
genous matter, as the gluJinos parts
OF corr, wheat, etc.
The nutritive ratio ought to be 5 tC
i, that is 5 parts OF heat producer tc
part of fl sh producing material.
Timothy hay is II to l: clover hay is
6 to l.; corn meal is II to /: cotton
seed meal is IA to- !; grass to l:
wheat bran is to /; cow peavine hay
/ to l.
1t is desirable to keep these tables
to guide US. For instance, by refer
riog to the table we can see that
timothy hay and corn meal ought not
to be fed together, because they are
too much alike.
Cotton seed hulls are down along
with straw.

After nightfall the CzareVltch, be.

She was attacked oy torpedo boats

commanding the squadron, having ex-

the damage to the ship, concluded
that she could not make Vladiyostok

ty-ninth street, Chicago s. Erie
freight train crashed into local west
bound Baltimore & Ohio passenger
train, oyerturning two coaches, one
of which was smashed. The accident
occurred at a point where many tracks

The collision followed frantic ef-

man to change the course Of
the freight train, which was on the
Panhandle tracks, and to the crew OF
which he bad given a signal that all
was clear for them to back over the

The passenger train, which was
moving rapidly, was struck by the
freight cars squarely in the middle.
One Of the freight cars crashed

Just where the SchwaFtzes were seated.
The crash that followed the coils

the cries and screams Of the injured,
mingled with the Kissing OF steam

freight engine, that lay sidewise upon
the wreckage Of a coach.
The bodies OF some Of the victims
were frightfully bruised and burned.

WE ARE NOT WORLD RULERS.

The Government of the United
States was organized solely for the
people OF the United States. While it
was contemplated that this country
should become refuge for the oppress-
ed OF every land, who might be tit to
discharge the duties Ct our citizenship,
and while we have always sympathized
with the people of every nation in
their struggles for self-government,
the Government was not created for a
career of political or civilizing evange-
lization in foreign countries Or among
alien races. The most efficient work
we can DO in uplifting the people Of
other countries is by the presentation
of a happy, prosperous self-governing
nation as an ideal to be emulated, a
model to be followed. The general oc-
cupation of our citizens in the arts OF
peace, or the absence Of large military
ornaments. tends to impair neither
patriotism nor physical courage, and
for the truth of this refer the young
men of to-day to the history OF the
civil war. For fifty years, with the
exception OF the war with Mexico, this

or desirous Of securing natural advan-

The display of great military arma-
ments may please the eye and, for the

citizen, but it cannot bring to the

of a single immigrant, nor induce the

would be not only false economy, but
pusilanimous. I protest, however,
against the feeling, now far too prevail
ent, that by reason Of the command
ing position we have assumed in the
world we must take part in the dis
putes and broils of foreign countries;
and that because we have grown great
weshould intervene in every important
question that arises in other parts OF
the world. I also protest against the
erection Of any such military esta DISH
ment as would be required to MAINTAIN
the country in that attitude. We
would confne our international actIvI-
ties solely to matters in which the
rights of the country Or Of our citizens
are directly involved. That is not a

and Doorkeeper Albert Naples, the
son of Representative Naples, engaged
In a spectacular fight on the tiJor Of
the house of representatives at noon
Tuesday. The speaker ordered the
doorkeeper to allow no one to leave
the hall and when Representative
Franklin attempted to go out he was
held back by Doorkeeper Albert Ma
pies. Licks began to pass between
the legislator and the young doorkeep-
er, when the father OF young Naples
rushed to the assistance Of his son
and attacked Franklin. A general
tisticutf followed and it is said that
blood flowed freely as the result Of the
bloody noses. The other members
ran up and got between the beliger-
entS and separated them. 1t is said
that the boy drew knife.

A NEW DIsPENsARY IDEA.
Said to Have Originated With a
Member Of the Board.

Member Of the Board.
A dispatch from Columbia says
well defined idea has taken root in
the mind OF the State board Of con-
troll. 1t is to interest leading grocery
houses in the sale of bottled goods as
agents Of the dispensary system
branch diSpensariGs, 50 to speak.
Some years ago some such plan was
suggested and urged. How 1t will
now take is uncertain and doubtful.
The pan is to see il such firms as
Saml: n: Wilson, k!inck- Wycenberg,
Welch s. Eason, and other firms of
that standing will consent to sell the
finer grades OF liquors and wines for
the dispensary under the dispensary
regulations. TIE idea is just now
being particularly pressed by one
member of the board Of control and
he hopes to see his views carried out.
he urges that Sach ager cieS will pop
ularize the dispenSary; will offer a
medium for purchases where buyers
are averSe to patroniZing out and out
dispensarits and that they will be a
source Of considerable revenue to the
State, city and county. The conter-
tion is that such plan will be per-
nissible under the present law, and is
very questionable but the diSpensary
law has ever teen as Stretchable as a
rubber band and the State board is
almost supreme. At all events, the
board could urge the necessary legis-
lation if the plan be decided upon.
The idea is now to try the plan in
Charleston and Il it works we'll there,
to extend its operations. 1t would be
a popular move, but whether prudent
or acceptable is another matter. The
suggestion is that fancy grocerS prior
to the aispensary law in many in
stances sold finer and bottled liquors
and that the scheme would be to re-
turn to such plan only under dis
pensary dispensation, and the sales to
be made OF liquors bought through the
State board Of control. The St.
Johns Hotel would like to have
tourists hotel privilege in Charleston
and will probably secure it.
