the United States today is Carl
Schurz. one of the eXiles of As, who
escaped to this country along with
many other German patriots. to avoid
the wrath of the imperialistic GOV
ernmCnt against whose expressions he
had rcbelled. Mr.. SchurZ, like a large
majority of his countrymon domicilcd
in the United States. believed in the
gold standard of money. and so long
as the financial question was the para
mount issue in national politics he act
ed with the republican party. In 1900
he first protested against the imperial
istic drift of government as eXCmpli-
fed in the new record of the rcpubli-
can party, and in 1904 he renews and
that protest, as it is eX-
cmplified both in the politics of that
party and in the personality OF its can
didate for president Mr.. Schurz's
health is such as to prevent him from
speeches. but he has written
letter expressing his views upon the
leading issues of the campaign. which
is. perhaps, the one great masterpiece
in the political literature of the time.
This letter has been translated into
half dozen languages and many hun
dred thousand copies of it have been
placed i'll the hands of German-Ameri
cans. 1t cannot fail to affect public
sentiment in marked degree and in
particular to exert a strong influence
among German-American voters.

COWS AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

In a recent Today test Of the
COWS competing at the Words Fair
in st. Louis, Is Holsteins produced
an average of SIT pounds of milk
daily, and this milk yielded 1.97
pounds of butter-fat daily. The
pounds of solids not fat produced
was 4.48 pounds.
The Jersey COWS gave an average
Of 44.5 pounds of milk per day, and
averaged 1877 pounds of butter-fat
The total pounds of solids produced
per COW per day was 3.77- There
were 25 cows in the test.
Only five Brown Swiss COWS COM
peted. These producsd an average
of 51.7 pounds of milk daily. The
milk contained 1.66 pounds OF but
ter-fat and 4.4l pounds of solids
other than butter-fat.
In the Shorthorn herd competing
there were 30 COWS. These produced
an average of 36.S pounds OF milk,
and this milk contained 1.23 pounds
OF butter-fat and 3.06 pounds Of
solids other than butter-fat
All of these records are good, bu'
when the production per lOOt
pounds of COW. weight is figured out
and the relative cost of production
the specific dairy breeds will doubt
less be seen to he far ahead OF thu
others. The Shorthorn cows especl
ally seem to have suffered by th'
test.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Phyllite is a rock intermediate be-
tween mica schists and states. 1t is
in fact a mica slate.
Dacite is a quartz andesite. The
name is derived from the ancient
Roman province known as Dacia,
now included in the Kingdom of
Hungary.
Novaculite is an exceedingly fine
grained quartzose rock, which is
supposed to be consolidated sill
cious slime of sedimentary origin.
It's practical use is for making high
grade whetstones.
To keep iron pipe from rusting it
is recommended to coat them with
coal tar, and then fill them with
light wood shavings, then set the
latter on fire. Provided the heat is
is not too intense or prolonged the
tar will be absorbed by the pores OF
the iron and rusting will be prevent
ed for a long period.
The first cement copper was pro-
duced in Spain at Rio Tinto in 1852
from heaps of low-grade sulphide
ore that had undergone decomposi-
ton through natural process. The
copper was leached out by water,
the metal being precipitated on iron.
1t was first thought to be merely
a coating of copper on the iron, but
it was found that if left long enough
the replacement became practically
complete.
One thousand feet (board measured
of well seasoned mountain lumber
will weigh from l 200 to 1900 lbs,
according to the proportion OF resin
in them. The yellower and browner
the pine, the more resin it contains.
Freshly cut green lumber from the
hills will weigh nearly twice as
much. The winter the pine board
is when produced, the more water
it will give up during the process of
seasoning.
Rich lode gold mines do not al
ways produce rich placers, and rich
placers are often known where the
lodes do not pay to work. Al
though millions of dollars have
been taken from the telluride ores
of the Cambrian strata, near, Lead,
in South Dakota, these deposits do
not produce valuable placers.
During the last week or two the
public has been treated TO nood OF
reading matter by the daily press
relative to alleged new strikes. Most
of the declarations of great finds are
to.say the least premature. Many
are merely spread-eagle accounts OF
small pockets which miner natur-
ally expects to run on to in the or
dinary course Of mining 1t is, OF
course, a good thing to chronicle
these fugitive finds, but it is truly
harmful to chronicle them as "great
strikes" The evil side of this phase
of mining journalism is that when
really splendid discovery is made it
is buried in a mass Of false alarms.
A little more conservatism is needed
in the daily mining news published
by newspapers in the Rocky mount

His Majesty the Tramp.

Even the wandering Williams have be-
come impregnated with the spirit of in
dependence that comes from a long
season Of prosperity unalloyed by even
a suggestion of hard times. The tramps
have become mighty particular. They
are refusing to accept cast-off garments
that show too much evidence of wear,
and their appetites rebel at the plain
and homely food offerings which from
time immemorial have stood as the
housewives standard for the satisfac-
tion of the vagrant caller.
In evidence whereof this tale of a YER
liable occurrence at the back door of
Western Addition households:
The tramp's knock was answered by
the young domestic, whose instructions
in such cases were always to furnish
applicants with a wholesome meal
Just wait a minute" replied the girl
to the request, 'and I'll get you some
thing to eat"
Hurriedly she made up three big, gen.
erous meat sandwiches, and supple
mented the allowance with a pitcher OF
aromatic coffee, hot and refreshing in
its delightful odor. These she handed
to the vagrant.
He nibbled at one of the sandwiches
and shifted at the coffee.
You don't seem very hungry" said
the girl.
Hungry" was the impudent ejacu-
Iation. Hungry? You just pass me
out a good, thick porterhouse steak
and I'll show you whether Pm hungry.
Save this trash for the dog"
With that the tramp stalked out, and
the girl was so dumfounded she didn't
think to call the police.

"I do not know whether it was fate
or Just common ordinary luck that
came to the rescue of a young fellow
here this morning." said Cupid Dan
forth the other day after he got
through counting up the days receipts
of the marriage license office. What
ever it was that saved him certainly
did so in the nick of time.
1T was just after 1 had opened the
office for the day that he. came in.
He appeared to be about twenty-eight
or thirty years of age. The woman
who was with him anL whom l correct
ly judged to be the lady of his choice
was certainly five years his senior. if
not more. Her face was built along
the lines that would entitle her to be
called a woman of great will by some
people: a regular old maid by others.
or perhaps a virago. The young fell
lows face was not lacking in strength
by any means, in fact it was just the
reverse; a physiognOmist would prob
ably say that he was a stubborn indi-
vidual; one likely to make up his mind
to do a thing and do it no matter what
the cost.
"Wen, to make a long story short,
he got a license to marry his compan-
ion. He paid the fee and they started
to walk out. When near the door the
woman said something to him. He re-
sponded in a curt tone and then. judg-
ing by his expression, asked her to do
something. No 1 won't / heard her
say. Then he repeated his request. this
time a little coaxingly. / tell you no,
said the woman, with a stamp of her
foot, and look that would have scared
an ordinary man. Again he asked her.
and 1 thought 1 heard something about

This time the woman did not even
answer him. She nearly shook her
head off her shoulders in her efforts to
make plain to him that she would not
do as he asked.
"'AlI right said the young fellow,
turning away from her and coming
over to my desk. He laid the license
in front of me, and though she followed
him and stood right beside him, there
was not a tremor in his voice when he
said, Cancel this. please The woman
only said 'Humph.

Decidedly friendly relations have
been established between Brutus. the
largest lion in captivity, and a com
mon screech owl that found its way
into the cage of the king of beasts in
the Zoo Carnivora, according to the
Cincinnati Enquirer. This happened a
few nights ago and throughout that
night the Zoo watchman was non
plused by the weird sound that pro-
ceeded from the Carnivora.
At daylight an investigation was
made. Sedately sitting in a far cor
ner of the cage occupied by Brutus

the owl family. All day the bird sits

Judge d. ]. Murphy when on the
bench was noted for the severity of
his lectures when sentencing convicted
criminals. A great many of the most
hardened thieves were known to squirm
before his Honor when told 10 stand up
for sentence. But the Judge met his
match on one occasion, when a noted
burglar was convicted of the crime of
entering a store. 1t was an open issue
whether this man had been guilty Of
burglary in the first or second degree,
as the store had been entered on a Sun
day afternoon just about sunset. The
jury, however, gave him the benefit Of
the doubt and brought in a verdict Of
burglary in the second degree. When
the prisoner was called upon to take
his medicine" the Judge was prepared
to give him the usual verbose lecture.
The prisoner, anticipating what was
coming, took the initiative.
Say, Murphy said he. prick the
gas bag and get down to business. Just
say seven years in the penitentiary
with hard labor This, with good con-
duct, means just four years and six
months, all of which is coming to me.

Judge Murphy looked dumfounded.

Gently held in this State elsewhere.
Mixed in with the discussions and consideration of
papers that dealt with live themes there has been
abundance of song. The players of instruments also
figured in entertaining visitors from the various parts
OF the State. Among the authors represented in the
musical selections Chopin, the poet of the piano;

to give US a pat on the back. 1t says:
