How IL Was Fixed Under the Old
Anglo-saxon Laws.
According to Anglo-Saxon laws. ev-
cry mans ffe, including that Of the
king, was valued at fixed price, and
any one who took 1t could commute the
ofense by money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life of peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings. that
Of man OF noble birth 1000 shillings,
and the killing OF king involved the
regicide in payment of 1900 shil-
lings
1t has been pointed out that the heir
to the throne could thus get rid of the
existing occupant by numbering him
and thereafter handing over the fine,
according to the scale, to the excheu-
uer. when his of;ense would be purged
and his money would come back to
himself, for in those days the sover-
eign received all fines as personal per-
Quisites. There Is very little doubt
that these rough means were practical

THE RUSSIAN ICON.
II IL simply a Religious Picture
Blessed by N Priest

~ 10 simply Religious Picture
Blessed by n Priest.
An icon Is simply a religious picture
generally of little artistic merit and
the subject usually represented Is ell
ther Russian saint, some event In the
life of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary.
in the Greek church, as In other Chris
tan churches, the worship of craven
images Is forbidden, but no objection
is made to anything reproduced on a
fiat surface. Therefore icons are per-
mitted in the form of mosaics, paint
ings, enamels or prints. They play an
Important part In the religious nfe of
the Russians and are to be met with
everywhere-in churches, public Offices
private houses and shops A picture
to become an icon must be blessed by
a priest and It is then regarded not on
ly as an ornament, but as an accessory
In the worship of the Greek church.
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form Of a plaque
or book with two leaves Almost ev-
cry soldier wears one on his bosom,
and when he prays he takes out his
Icon and, opening 1t, kneels down be-
fore IT as IL II were a portable altar.
Every regiment has It's own icon,
which 1t carries as 1t would carry its
banner when the regiment goes into
battle.

THE ENCORE.
II Originated In France In the Seven
teentk Century.

II Originated In France In the seven
teentk Century.
The beginning Of the encore dates
back to some time between 1915 aud
1903, probably about 1850, when Louis
XIV. demanded the repetition of Ger,
tain parts of an opera. The opera was
by Corneille, Fontenelle and Boileau
which was sung before his majesty,
and the king was so pleased with GER
tain parts that he asked to have them
repeated. 1t took fully century for
the ordinary opera goers to obtain the
kings prerogative for themselves 1t
came about in this way: Gluck had
produced an opera which had been a
failure; but, having rewritten the
worst parts, he produced II again. One
or two songs were accepted by the au-
dience with applause, and one In par
ticular was demanded second time.
The most remarkable encores on rec
ord are those which were insisted upon
by the late king Of Bavaria. Before he
was known to be insane, when merely
thought eccentric, he had plays per-
formed before him as the sole auditor,
the curtain rising at midnight If he
liked the play he insisted on having 1t
repeated at once. But, unlike most en-
core fiends, he paid literally for them.
Though our word encore is adopt
ed from the French. they themselves
do not make use Of II In this connec-
ton. They call "Bis, bis" and obtain
repetition.-New York Herald.

@. E. Newton, representing the firm

Commission Small This meeting was
held by the ruling was not changed in
the least. The ruling is fair in every
particular and no matter what the
wholesalers think about these rulings
they will be strictly enforced.
The part Of the ruling which was
under discussion at this time was:
at shall be unlawful for any person
to sell, offer or expose for sale, any
article of prepared foods unless the
true name of the manufacturer and the
location of the factory where such
articles of food is prepared is plainly
printed or stenciled on the package,
box, can, cartoon or other containe."
The wholesalers ask for slight
change putting up that this ruling was
intended to fix the responsibility where
the product is not up to the standard.
That they secure their goods sometime
from one factory and at other times
from another and put on their own
labels. If this ruling stood they must
change labels when they change
factories, and in cases of special brand

CAREFUL OF THE FIRE.

The stfnEy Hotel Keepers of Spain
and Southern Italy.
In the smaller hotels of southern
Italy and Of Spain, writes Mr.. Hart
In 1.-TWO Argonauts In SPAIN" the I'M
fortunate tourists slowly freeze. The
landlords display a touching solicit
ude about the stove. On days when
fire is really needed to keep the guests
warm they sometimes spend half their
time trying to keep the servants from
putting too much fuel on the fire.
To prevent Americans and other
pyromaniacs from meddling with the
fuel they often keep the coal bin lock-
ed. 1t is touching spectacle to see
group OF Americans shivering round a
little stove; TO see the servant enter,
take out key, unlock the coal bin,
put two or three spoonfuls Of coal in
the stove and then lock the bin again;
to see the ginlet eye OF a Granada
landlord fastened on him from the Of
fee; then to see the hapless Americans
sink back into their overcoat collars
and wish they were back home
AS an instance Of the desperation to
which these cold hotels drive people l
once In a Levantine hotel saw an
elderly spinster seat herself In front
OF the stove In. the mems smoking
room, with her hair down, while an
elderly female friend gave her g dr.
shampoo.
To the suggestion Of the scandalized
servants that she should finish this
intimate toilet operation in her own
room she replied briefly that she had
found the only warm place in the no
tel end proposed to finish the shampoo
there, which she did.

Dairy Booming in SouthDakota


Dairying, as now conducted, is
properly recognized as one of the
most important branches of agricul-
tural live. Nature has been lavish
in her gifts to the dairymen ofSouth
Dakota--grass, soil, climate, condi-
tions are more favorable to the keep
ing Of herd than in most Of the
older states. The marvellous growth
OF the dairy industry within the past
few years has amply demonstrated
what nature has done for South
Dakota. The development OF the
dairy interests Of our state during
the past year has been extensive,
the growth being mainly in the
localities that heretofore have not
enjoyed the benefits arising from
this branch Of the agricultural
system.
So far this year unusual interest
and activity is manifested in all
matters pertaining to the dairy and
creamery, and the output in 1905
will greatly exceed that OF the year
previous.
The records of this office show
larger number of factories in opera
ton, and this in itself may be safely
taken as barometer.
In this connection must be taken
into consideration the fact that a !
system Of Capitalization is going on
IN some sections OF the state where
by number Of creameries have
been closed as factories are now in |
operation as skimming stations or
feeders for some centrally located |
plant. But this loss in the number
OF actual factories in operation has
been overcome by the establishment
Of new creameries in the younger
portion Of the state.
The ready market for a high
grade butter at a good, remunera-
tive price, with the accruing profits,
has attracted the attention OF invest
ors, and there is noted decrease in
the namber Of cooperative plants
and q decided increase in cases Of
individual ownership. As a rule,
the individual displays more enter
prise than the cooperative concern.
A pasteurizing machine, or any
other machinery, is needed to keep
UP to date, il is Immediately pur-
ohased; while many Of the cooper
ative boards win disregard the
request Of the buttermaker, mainly
~ grounds Of economy, and win
struggle along il the old rut.
