70 YEARS WITH QUAY,
BY HIS EX-SECRETARY

The most remarkable newspaper arti-
Gle OF the year, II in which every
Pennsylvania will be interested, will
take up two page of the Sunday North
American Of Sunday, July3. It's a study
OF Senator Quay, his methods and deeds,
by Frank Willing Leach, who for twenty
years followed the fortunes of the dead
Senator through good and evil time, ex-
cept on two occasions, when his Judgment
regarding his duty to his party led him
to oppose his chief.
In his tale of great events Mr.. Leach
has reserved nothing. He has written
his story from the viewpoint of an in
innate friend and sincere admirer of SEN
ator Quay. He has "set down naught
in malice" His admiration for his chief
is shown in every paragraph. He has.
however, told Pennsylvania history with
the assurance and verify of a capable
~chronicler, who observed from behind
the scenes the manipulation of Senator
Quay's political chessmen. One incident
after another is cited to clear up the
cloud Of doubt that has surrounded many
political events in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Leach explains how Senator Quay's
system of political rewards and punish
menus uurHeu upSlue uOWn the plans OF
his ~lleutenants, how and why the Gin
surgent' of IL year became the ''stal-
wart" favorite of the next, and how
the cherished ambitions of men were
trodden down with the relentlessness
Of a juggernaut, all because expediency
and the smooth running of the machine
demanded it. This is told by one who
suffered, but who believed the chief rea-
soned not unkindly when fate removed
him from the chessboard Of politics.
This article is a chapter of the unwrit-
ten political history in Pennsylvania. 1t
will be cited when the political mysteries
of the past again come up for solution,
and will stand as authority when discus
sions arise. No Pennsylvania should
fail to read it. 1t will be instructive
and useful alike to the boy and the old
man, and to the woman as well, for there
is a great human side to the story.

TRAINS COLLIDE.

Montreal, Que, Sept. mime persons
were killed and 20 others injured in
a head-on collision on the Grand Trunk

day. Trains involved we're special ex-
cursion from Montreal bound for Sher-
brooke and passenger train No. s. run
ming between Island Pond, Vermont and

train, which left Richmond without
awaiting the arrival of the passenger
train.
The excursion train, made up of ten
coaches and baggage car. carried about
1000 persons bound for the exhibition
at Sherbrooke. The Island Pond train
was composed of five coaches and bag
gage car and had only small number
OF passengers. The excursion train had
barely cleared the Richmond yard when,
rounding curve, 1t met the island Pond
train running at high rate OF speed.
The engineers reversed and, with their
firemen. jumped and escaped with minor
injuries. The shock of the collision
was plainly heard in Richmond, more
than a mile away.

A PUZZLE TO DAIRYMEN.
Variations in Fat Content Of Milk a
Source Of Wonderment Here
and Abroad.

One of the great problems that con-
front the scientists who deal with milk
is the great and frequent variation in
at content. In a long period of time
the amount of fat secreted seems to be
quite constant, but within the limits
of "a hours all rules apparently go
astray. Here and there examiners of
milk have made hundreds and even
thousands of tests of milk during q
short time and have found extreme va
riations. In England q Prof. Ingle
made some hundreds of tests. At one
experimental farm he tested 700 SAM
pies of milk. The average results as to
fat were: Morning milk, 3.2 per cent;
evening milk. as per cent. Other SOL
ids: Morning milk. go per cent; even
ing milk, 89 per cent. Average milk
yield: Morning, IS pounds; evening.
IL pounds. These samples were taken
in March and April. when the days
were short and the nights were long.
From the time of milking at night till
the time OF milking in the morning
was IA to Is hours, and from tho morn
ing milking to the evening milking
was eight or nine hours. The milk
was richest in the evening, but the
quantity was smallest.
The causes for this great variation
are little known, aud we have not yet
learned the conditions that influence
them. In some of the samples analysed
the fat content fell below three per
cent, which is the legal standard for
milk in England. If man should sell
milk that contained less than three per
cent. butter fat he could be prosecuted
for watering his milk. In such cases
It is a common. practice to have the
COW MIXED and the sample tested for
the courts benefit. But in allowing
this a milkman Is taking great chances,
for the COW that gave less than three
per cent. milk In the morning Is likely
to give q four per cent. milk at night
In that case the sample would most
certainly convict the unhappy COW
owner, for It would apparently prove
beyond all question that he had liber-
ally watered his milk to get 1t below
three per cent. This has not been
known until recent years and It may be
suspected that many milkman has
been prosecuted for watering his milk
when he did not do So This does not
mean that we must do away with all
standards. but that the milkman must
be more careful about the milk he sells

THE DEAF MUTE HUSBAND.
Had One Advantage, He Didn't Have
to Look When His Wife
Scolded.

At social gathering some time ago, a
number of deaf mutes were present. Re-
freshments were served during the evening,
and in handing a small glass OF wine to one
of the guests a deaf mute gentleman hap
pened to spill few drops on his wifeis skirt.
The wife, relates the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, is also deaf mute, and it was evi.
dent that she took the mishap in a sather
irritable way. She wrinkled up her fore
head and at once made a series of remark
ably swift movements with her nimble
fingers. The husband, looking exceedingly
apologize, made a few motions in re-
turn.
One. of the guests, who had noticed this
little by-pay, slyly slipped out bit Of paper
and penciing something on it, handed it to
a friend.
This is what the letetr read:

GOV. sAcHELpER's VIEWS.
He Demands National and State Aid
for Roads ~ . Matter Of Jus
tice to Farmers.

New Hampshire IL one Of the states
which Is making rapid strides In the I'M
provement of her roads. Gov. Bachel-
der, Of that state-and he Is also an off,
Ger Of the National Grange-is q very en-
thusiastic advocate Of road improve
ment. In a recent address he said:
"The development and prosperity OF
any state or nation depend In some de-
gree upon the transportation facilities
provided; and such facilities include
not only our rivers and harbors and our.
great railway and steamboat COM
panies, but also the highways over which
all our products and all our people are
transported.
"The important matter now beforethe
friends Of good roads Is to arouse the
people to q realization of their respon-
sibility In securing favorable state and
national legislation on the subject. The
small pittance appropriated for the use
of the good roads bureau Of the depart
ment of agriculture is entirely out Of
proportion to the money appropriated
for other objects of a public nature
when their relative importance is con-
sidered. FE IA E
Another important matter Is the con-
struction of roads adapted to the needs
come to the good roads movement IN
some sections of the country through the
advocacy of more expensive roads than
the resources of the people would war
rant and demand. Costly stone roads
are economical upon portions of our
highways, but we must not overlook the
fact that there is vast mileage Of roads
that could be permanently improved by
the judicious expenditure of compare
lively small sum Of money per mile.
We should give due prominence to this
fact in considering the matter from a
state or national standpoint.
GAS an official of the National Grange,
desire to say word for the farmers
of the country in regard to national aid
for road building. The farmers have
been loyal to the interests ofthe nation
in every emergency in the past. They
have contributed their full share in pro-
portion to their wealth to the revenues
for the support of the government. The
ablest statesmen and most successful
business men, contributing to the devel-
I~epment and prosperity of the country,
point to the farms as their birthplace
When our country has been in danger.
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense We have uncomplain-
ingly contributed our share to the enor-
nous expenditures of the national gov
eminent for river and harbor improve
ments, the construction of canals and
the erection of costly buildings in our
great cities, and we do not regret It..
We now ask, in the name of justice. that
national aid be granted for the improve
| ment Of highways. This involves the
establishment Of no new policy, but the
extension Of the former one. We ask
the loyal support Of those who have been
benefited by our contribution to other
public matters to which have referred.
! believe the farmers of the nation, rep
resentng more than third Of our pop
ulation, are practically unanimous in
favor of such a movement and will give
1t their unqualified support"

when Butter color IL used.

The use OF color is not thing that
can be done entirely by rule, as the
COW varies the amount Of color she
puts into the cream. Thus In the winter
the cream is largely white, while in the
summer months and when there is an
abundance of grass, the color Is deep yell
low. June color has become proverbial
At this time Of the year the butter is FREE
quently colored too highly on account o.
the rapid increase Of color when the
cows go onto grass. The buttermaker on
the farm continues 10 put in the same
amount that was added in the winter
and the butter that goes onto the mar
ket has sometimes SO much color in It
that IT is regarded by the best customers
as undesirable. -Farmers' Review.
